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.

It's neither.

New hint!

We've found that there seems to be inflammation. A growth of some sort.

It also seems we can't give him any antibotics. He seems very drug sensitive.

Be careful loco, after 3 guesses, you start to lose points.

Also Docter names are suggested.

loco5, be sure to check the rules. They're somehow spreaded on the first 5 pages. The game was updated as time passed, so...

Also, Dr. Air, the patient has sore throat too?

That way it can be influenza or common cold. Give him some ibuprofen, for Christ's sake.

Sounds like Lupus.

Jk. Jk. anyways, I think I'll give this a shot.
This almost sounds like a sinus infection with the hints given so far. Penicillin might work.

@Waluigi nope. The penicillin doesn't work. But we did check up his nose. Just to be clear the growth is actually inside his nose.(shutters).

After doing a bit of research, my second guess is a Nasal Polyp. I recommend corticosteroids if this is the case, due to the fact the this person seems to be sensitive to antibiotics.

Could it be Crohn's disease?

I do believe that Hypermnestra is correct. However, just to throw something out there... Lupus!

CONDITION END (sort of...)

It is Celiac disease. But now what? Any treatments?

I'll see a new condition soon. While you wait, why don't you try to find a treatment?

Have the patient start a gluten-free diet.
