Hi everybody! This Forum Game is based in the series "House MD".

It works like that: I tell the symptoms and the users try to find out what disease is. They may look on other sites to find out. As House's diagnosis are too complicated, the diseases here will be easier. Each user have 3 guesses. Let's begin...

Patient: 30-year-old female.

Symptoms: Severe headache, nasal congestion, toothache and lacrimation (she is tearing for no apparent reason). Facial X-Ray is showing an anomaly.

Can you discover what it is? Tip: is a common condition caused by inflamation of the facial bones.

Fixing:

If this happens when my skin is dry, why this does not happen during the other seasons of the year? The human skin does not get dry only on winter nor my hands get red-ish during the rest of the year. What is the other factor?

How about Dr. Stuff?

And is the other factor windburn?

Nope. The wind bothers me on this but there is a "smoking factor" (smoking gun) other than wind.

you probably wash your hands a lot or use hand sanatizer.

Good one, Dr. Air. I wash my hands very often, so my hands get dry and full of tiny little cuts.

hand sanatizer.


My hands are not insane!!

(I know that this is probably a typo, but I thought that the joke would be funny.)

In children, fevers often cause hallucinations. The fever could have been caused by any number of things. She would need to hydrate often with the fever, but other than that, no diagnosis possible, and no cure. Could you be more specific?

Sorry,

New update. The child has been having migranes. And when she was asked to run up to the table she was just slowly walking. What's weirder is that she thought she was running.

Thank you Dr. Air for co-hosting the game!

Now I think I can give guesses too!
_____________________________________________________________
Does the patient has Alice In Wonderland syndrome, aka Todd's syndrome?

If it is, I would recommend typical migraine treatment: antidepressants, betablockers and anticonvulsants
________________________________________________________________

Dr. Air, a technical tip: if you run out of diseases, a good place to look for conditions is House's episodes! See the disease and then look for it's symptoms!

Once again, thanks for co-hosting!

Um... is it Sinusitis?

If so I would recommend decongestants with oxymetazoline and antibiotics in case of viral sinusitis.
