I have a red spot just above my left ankle about 4 inches in diameter which has been there ever since I had a large cancerous tumor removed from my left groin about three years ago. I have used various medicated creams on it but it does not go away. I have light shooting pains in it occasionally. I recently sprained my ankle and it got worse. I am 92 years old and diabetic. Is there some medication or medicated cream that might help?
|
After hearing your history I would advise you to use voting gel in the affected area. Volini Gel contains Diclofenac Diethylammonium Topical, Menthol Topical, Methyl Salicylate Topical and Ileum Line Topical as active ingredients. Volini Gel works by reducing pain and delayed onset muscle soreness, providing relief of musculoskeletal aches and pains, reducing the pain providing relief from pain. Regards Chat Doctor.

My baby is 3 months and she just threw up a small amount with brown colored mucous-like throw up in it. It was about the size of a silver dollar. Should I be concerned. She has never done this before. I checked her temp and it is normal and no behavioral cues.
|
Hi... if the baby is feeding normally and otherwise active you need not worry about this. Red flag signs if something sinister is going on in the baby at this age would be - 1. Stoppage of feeding completely.2. Fever above 101 degrees Fahrenheit.3. Respiratory distress and fast breathing.4. Abnormal spontaneous bruising on the skin. Regards -

i m 33yrs old male. and been diagnosed with pernecious anemia doc had advised for v12 injection on monthly basis. I have off lately been irregular in taking the medication on monthly basis and now recently when i got by HB count done it shows as 12.8.. pls tel me if it is ok to do moderate gym workout in this condition.. i dont feel that tired.
|
Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor, You are already taking treatment for Anemia and your Hemoglobin is also reasonable 12.8 GMT and can continue to take B12 injection on monthly basis, and you can start work out gradually. My advice would be to start cardio work out initially later on weight training may be done. There should not be any problem in Gym. If there is any intake of alcohol it must be stopped completely. Take care Good luck to you,

Hi Dr. s I got my semen analysis a few days ago, rest all is normal excelt on thing i.e. my sperm has a -3 grade which is fast but undirected movement. Does this need any treatment? If so what sort of treatment should I get? Is this a cause for not getting my wife pregnant? I am married since last 4 years and my wife had 3 miscarriages and the last one was 1 and half year ago.
|
HelloThanks for your query. Your semen analysis revealed motility of the sperms to be grade 3. Normally it is grade one sperm which move in a straight direction are capable of fertilizing female eggs to result into pregnancy. The minimum percentage of grade one sperm accepted by WHO standards are 12-15% to result into conception. Truly speaking there are no medications that can increase the percentage of grade one sperm.However, Following measure will help to improve the motility of sperms to some extent.1) Practice regular exercise for 45 minutes followed by meditation for 1/2 an hour in the morning.2) Take high protein diet rich in vegetables and fruits and vitamin A, C,D, E.and Zinc3)Take anti oxidants like Almonds 5-6 every day. Chat Doctor. 4) Avoid alcohol and smoking.

My 3rd old has had a little big of blood after wiping, we were told to change his diet. More fibre etc, today him after he had a BM there was bright red blood & quite a bit... Really worried any advice?? We are making an appointment with his DR tomorrow..
|
Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor, The problem that your child is facing is not commonly seen in this age group. Bright red blood and increased quantity is not suggestive of infection alone, and I am thinking of a surgical cause a possibility. Most probably due to some injury at the exit point of the stools. You Need to consult doctor at the earliest, and you might need to meet a pediatric surgeon too. Wish your child a good health. Take care.

I have a small lymph node in lower area of left side of my neck. I have had a seriously swollen shoulder from rotator cuff problems. Can this be a cause of the node? I had a Pet 6mths ago and it has slightly enlarged. I suffer from awful sinus drainage and clering throat because of it. I am so afraid it is cancer. PET this Friday. I hhave been in remission for 6yrs Dr. says it is not likely to be that. I can t stop mashing to find this thing. Help.
|
You said you are in remission now. That means you must be having history of cancer. If you have history of cancer biopsy of the enlarged node needs to be done. Else you can take a course of antibiotics and wait till sinus discharge subsides. Cervical node enlargement occurs with throat infection and other head and neck infections commonly. In such case you can wait.

my sis has high creatinin level of 111, her left kidney has parenchymal disease and she had a right kidney stone removed from years back though current result proves that her kidney is clear. she wants to know what are the dos and donts and what are the risks for having this high level of creatinin and parenchymal disease, what important things do we need to ask from her doctor if we have her checked up. thanks alot. god bless.
|
Firstly I would like to correct that it is 11.1 mg /DL of see. Creatinine and not 111. If the see. Creatinine levels or this elevated for a long time and is asymptomatic I suggest having an AV FISTULA created at the earliest. She may land up any time in uremic seizures, her bones will be brittle n prone to fractures, she would be having loss of appetite and muscle catabolism due to chronic acidosis. Regarding diet absolute vegetarian diets low in potassium. Avoid fruit juices and fruits especially banana, watermelon ... Can have small bites of apple, guava and papaya. BUT GET FISTULA DONE EMERGENTLY COM IT TAKES 6 WEEKS FOR IT TO MATURE AND ANY EMERGENCY DURING THIS PERIOD SHE WILL HAVE TO TAKE EMERGENCY DIALYSIS WITH ITV ACCESS WHICH IS PRONE TO COMPLICATIONS OF INFECTIONS.

Hi, I have just banged my leg on the corner of my coffee table. Below the right knee to the right hand side, It actually brought tears to my eyes. It came up in a bruise straight away an now there is a hard round lump underneath the bruise. is the lump anything bad do you think?
|
Hi, The lump is a normal occurrence after this type of injury. There will be swelling and bruising which will have caused blood to collect in the area causing the lump to appear. It may last a few days before receding. In the meantime, take paracetamol and ibuprofen for the pain. Keep your knee moving with your normal daily activities otherwise it may become stiff. A compression knee support may help. Also try a cool compress to the area. Hope this helps you. Chat Doctor.

My father has malignant melanoma and has recently undergone the gamma knife for his brain mets. Today he woke up with multiple blueish black lesions on the skin under the arm that he originally had surgery on for the infected lymph nodes 18 months ago. He has no pain there, but they were not there yesterday. Is this more mets?
|
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Yes, possibility of metastasis is more. Malignant melanoma is known to cause skin metastasis and maxilla is common site for metastasis. So bluish black skin lesions can be due to skin metastasis. So get done clinical examination and if needed biopsy of the lesion to rule out metastasis. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your father. Thanks.

I have been diagnosed with GAD since recovering from prostate cancer & possible duodenal cancer that was determined to be non malignant both within the past 2 years. I have tried 5 different SSRI s and 3 different SSNI s, none of which provided any relief. Side effects for most made my anxiety worse. I have also seen 4 psychiatrists with some minor success. CBT offering some help, the others, EMDR & Talk Therapy very little. The only relief I get is with 1MG Lorazepam as needed with no side effects. Why all the negativity re this medication.
|
Hi. I understand your situation. Keeping myself in your shoes and with previous experiences with these therapies in cases of anxiety and depression with aggravation SSRI, I would suggest either NLP or sunk six I acupuncture. NLP practitioner are available all over the globe. If you do not have access to any practitioner than you can read the best books I came across this topic - unlimited power and awaken the giant within. Both by Anthony Robbins. These are life-changing books and I highly recommend them from personal as well as patient experience. Six I acupuncture is different from Chinese acupuncture. It utilises very small needles with very small insertion depth only on palms. For emotional issues six I acupuncture is one of the best techniques to change the whole Constitution of the person. If am not sure which country you belong, but there are sunk association from Moscow who can probably guide you don't practitioner in your area. Hope this helps. Good luck

My right side hurts, but not really low. Kinda in the middle. But it only hurts when I sit down, stand up, cough, any sudden movement like that. It feels like something s being jiggled out of place and the pain is a sharp twinge. It started as a normal stomachache then moved to my right side.
|
Hello, As the location of the pain isn't mentioned it is difficult to put a comment which is directed towards the pathology. As you mentioned the stomachache and pain moved, I suspect it to be the higher side of the lower back where you are getting pain. This can be due to organs compression over the muscular system. A diagnostic ultrasound scan will help to figure out the actual organ pathology and medicine will be prescribed based on that. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Jay In Chat Doctor.

Hi, My friend, age 28 was diagnosed with seizure disorder in 2002, CT brain shows L frontal granuloma with surrounding edema , Had eptoin for 3 yrs thereafter. Gradually tapered as the per advice of neurologist . Recently he is experiencing some vague Headaches, with some giddiness occas. Having doubt whether he needs to get suggested by neurologist. He underwent blood work, dx with Impaired fasting glucose under control by diet & exercise.
|
Hello, It's important to ascertain the giddiness you describe is actually not minor episodes of seizures. The headaches may be associated with it. Please get the opinion of the Neurologist who will be able to rule out Seizures and decide whether you need to start on medications again. A repeat Brain Imaging might be necessary to determine about Granuloma or other causes which can lead to seizures. Also keep a close watch on the Blood sugar levels as increased blood sugar levels alone can precipitate Seizures. Hope this helps!

I ve been going to the gym (cardio and weights) I have a slight pain on the right side with a lump type feel. It is located right below my ribcage. when I was on the elliptical yesterday my heart rate went up to 155 during the tough workout. should I be concerned.
|
Hi, thank-you for providing the brief history of you. As to let you know one of the primary act is thorough musculoskeletal assessment is advised and also the cardiac clearance before undergoing gym. It is on a safer side to get clearance and then proceed. As mentioned by you that you have a pain under the rib cage or below it, it could be most of the time a muscular pain. Due to overtraining there will be a sudden muscle spasm due to stretch contract mechanism on the elliptical. Taking a rest with hot water fermentation should reduce the pain and after 3 days you can go back to gym. Also, if the pain doesn't come down, than taking up a thorough musculoskeletal and cardiac assessment is advised on a safer side. Since you have discomfort on the right side, the worry is less, may be just a muscle spam on the right Hyperion Chat Doctor. It should subside in short time. This is on of the common injury in gym, as the body is not prepared to undergo the stress & strain on the muscles. Undergoing slow and steady training under guidance will help avoid such injuries in the future. RegardsJay In

hello my 5 month old grandson is being sent to a specialist for high levels of calcium and something about his thyroid. He was big when he was born and he s big now he weights 21 pounds and he cries a lot not as much as he used to. They thought he might have acid reflux but ... anyway what could it be? Nothing serious serious I hope
|
High calcium levels, or hyperkalemia as it is called, may be caused due to excess of certain hormones secreted by the parathyroid glands which are small dot like structures on the wall of the thyroid gland. Treatment depends on the magnitude of the problems caused. Appropriate HY Chat Doctor. A vitamin D derivative called calcitonin can be given. Dialysis or destruction of the parathyroid glands may be required in more extreme cases. Please remain in the follow-up of your doctor, and he will be better able to explain the gravity of the scenario and its management.

Hello dear, I understand your concern. In my opinion there are rare chances of pregnancy. Usualy there is scope for pregnancy when semen is ejaculated inside the vagina during the fertile period. There is very rare chance when then semen outside the vagina resulting in pregnancy. Byt anyway confirmation is done by a urine pregnancy test. The test needs to be done a week after missed period if at all the period is missed. The first sign of pregnancy is missed period. Other signs of pregnancy like nausea, vomitings, increased urination, sore breasts start 2 weeks after missed period In case of pregnancyAnyway overall the chance of pregnancy is very rare. So avoid stress and wait and check for the period. Hope this helps. Best regards...

I am always tired, exhausted. I can t walk up stairs without getting out of breath and feeling like I m about to pass out. (I ve been diagnosed with orthostatic hypotension??.) I feel like everything drains out of me when I walk, even slowly, upstairs. Even if it s only a few steps. I m breathing hard, hr goes way up and I feel like my blood pressure plummets.usually can t stand up straight until it goes away and feel like my legs are going to give out on me. Also if I squat down everything starts to go black when I stand back up. All my labs are normal and cardiac said my heart is fine altho it did show some tachy some brady and pvc s. My EKG showed a short PR. What is wrong with me??
|
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your situation and problem. In my opinion you should consult cardiologist and get done1. 2d echo2. Stress test3. Holder monitoring (24 hour recording of ECG)4. Coronary angiography SOS (if required). You are having irregular heartbeat with orthostatic hypotension, this suggests possibility of arrhythmia or coronary artery disease (CAD). So better to get done above investigations first and diagnose yourself and start appropriate treatment. So consult cardiologist and discuss all these.

I am a generally articulate person, but recently I feel as if i am unable to find the exact words to express my thoughts in a timely manner, and sometimes have to restart sentences multiple times; someone told me these could be symptoms of pregnancy? If I were pregnant it would be less than a month since conception, so would these symptoms arise that early?
|
These symptoms can occur in early pregnancy, but first you need to confirm your pregnancy by a urine test or an ultrasound

Hi, I need an advice regarding the possibility of being pregnant. I m a virgin. Me and my boyfriend were messing around yesterday somewhat and things got a bit *hot*. We didn t have penetrative sex, but he fingered me and I gave him a handjob. He touched his penis- while pulling it out of his pants- but then I immediately started giving him a handjob so the contact was brief and I don t think there was any precum as his penis was not even fully erected yet. After a few moments he began unzipping my jeans, etc (so he definitely has brushed his fingers against my clothes) and then fingered me (but not very deep). Also it was day 21 of my cycle (usually my cycle varies from 27 to 31 days, so I guess my ovulation should has happened already). I understand that chances of me getting pregnant are very low but still... should I be worried?
|
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. No need to worry about pregnancy. For pregnancy, Intercourse in vagina and ejaculation of semen in the vagina is must. This should be happened during Fertile period (ovulatory) period of your cycle. Since you don't have Intercourse in vagina and you're were not in your Fertile period, no need to worry about pregnancy. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.

I had a spider bite brown recluse most likely had it lanced and drained spent 6 days in the hospital been home for about a week now i have 3 abcess on my leg one was very large and painful it just burst before i was able to go to the doctotor, but unlike wen they drained the spider bite that was full of puss and some blood this was full of brite red blood and alot of it and it has continued to blled since it burst about 11 hrs ago?
|
HI, thanks for using Chat Doctor Discharge from an infected area would contain a mixture of pus and blood, so it is not unusual that blood was present in the abscess. You may still need to see your doctor because even though the abscess burst some pockets of pus may still be present that would need removal. Additional antibiotics may be needed. I hope this helps

I am a 25y/o female and i have a knot/lump on the back of my neck below my hairline. I have had it for a few days now, it came out of nowhere. The size is smaller than a pea and sometimes I feel a slight burning sensation coming from it. What could it be?
|
Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You mostly have posterior cervical lymph node enlargement. ITIS due to some infection in head and neck area. You should complete a course of antibiotics. If it doesn't respond to treatment then biopsy diagnosis is advisable. Consult your doctor and take treatment accordingly. Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Wish you a very good health.

My husband had bronchitis 2 months and has asthma. He was a firefighter for 10 yrs several years ago. Since his recent sickness, he hasn t felt right and now says it feels like he is breathing through cobwebs or cotton candy, fiberglass type of feeling in the upper part of his chest. Some days are worse than others. What could this be?
|
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your husbands situation and problem. By your history and description, in my opinion he might be having worsening of underlying asthma and bronchitis. Lung infection is the most common cause for worsening. So better to consult pulmonologist and get done 1. Clinical examination of respiratory system 2. Chest x-ray 3. PUT (Pulmonary Function Test). Chest x-ray is needed to rule out lung infection. PFT is needed to rule out worsening of bronchitis. He may need antibiotics, antihistamines and additional inhaled bronchodilators for better symptomatic relief. Hope I have solved your query. Wishing good health to your husband. Thanks.

|
Hi, As per your query, your child has symptoms of runny nose and sneezing which is due to upper respiratory infection. Need not worry. I would suggest you visit Pediatrician once and get it examined. You should get routine blood tests done to check the level of infection and start treatment accordingly. You should avoid the use of spicy, sharp oily and fried food substances. Furthermore, you should take a combination of antibiotic Levofloxacin along with anti-inflammatory medication. Furthermore, you should avoid cold carbonated beverages. Apply mist humidifiers in the room. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ? Please type your query here...I believe I have acid reflux which is affecting my gums and teeth. I am scheduled to have eight teeth and toris removed this wednesday. Do you see a problem having the oral surgery done?
|
Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query. In acid reflux the teeth will get damaged secondary to the acid attack on the teeth resulting in erosion of the teeth. If sufficient tooth structure is there, then we can save the teeth by doing RCT. If the tooth structure is not there then it has to be removed. The teeth can be removed and Tori can also be removed but the antibiotics and analgesics should be of lower dose since this will cause gastric irritation and may cause vomiting and heart burn or gastric pain. Even the painkillers prescribed after the surgical procedure can worsen the acid reflux. So be careful and take precautions like antacids at regular intervals before the medications prescribed after surgery. I hope my answer will help you, take care.

Hi I have had a breast lump remove under general anaestic 5 days ago . I feel the same as I did when I came out of surgery Physically Fatigued! Im a very active 54 year old have a text booked blood pressure, I cant do daily shores or go back to work. I have difficulty getting out of bed and even having a shower!! Which Im fanatic about!! Please help!!
|
Hello! Thank you for the query. Please note that any surgery is an immense effort for whole organism. We can compare it to taking part in car accident for example. So this is a typical reaction for surgery. Your body needs to rest to get back to normal. It takes time and It's hard to accelerate it. So if you do not feel any part of your body weaker (like one leg or arm is weaker), no headache, no dizziness and pale skin, your heart rate is lower than 100, rest is all you need. If any of mentioned symptoms is present, you should consult your doctor right away as stroke or anemia are possible. Hope this will help. Regards.

worried about blood pressure for the last week as high as 160/104. Was normal one month ago at docters office. I am 50 years old, normal weight and healthy on vegetarian diet and exerise every day.Do have family history of high blood pressure, mother had problems starting about 40 year old Should I have this checked out or give it some time?
|
Hello and thank you for using Chat Doctor. I carefully read your question and I understand your concern. I will try to explain and give you my opinion. We talk about hypertension if we have mean values that exceeds 140/90 mmHg. Hypertension is divided in two groups: essential or idiopathic hypertension without an identifiable cause and secondary hypertension, usually in young ages, meaning that is a secondary cause of it. This cause might be a renal disease, an endocrine problem, a cardiovascular pathology. As you explain, you are 50 years old, and you do have heredity for hypertension. According to this, I think we are dealing with essential hypertension. It is a chronic disease. It has not a definite cure, but it should be treated life long. In most cases' people with hypertension does not have any symptom but leaving this values untreated slowly modifies your heart muscle. So, if I was your treating doctor I will recommend a holder pressure monitoring for 24 h, to know your mean values day and night. A cardiac echo to evaluate heart chambers and a fool blood analyze. After having a fool view of the situation we can decide how to treat your hypertension. But my opinion is that you should do this thinks now and not leave them for the future because it is much better if we act and treat hypertension faster in time. Hope I was helpful. Wish you good health. Best regards.

Hello docotor, I am having severe abdominal pain for the last 2 weeks. It is kind of vague contracting type of pain, lasts only a few seconds then comes again, with lot of belching. I consulted a gastroenterologist and he did an endoscopy, nothing was found, and the pain is still there. I am taking, rabeprazole sodium and Cilakar. I am having high blood pressures. I just want to know what it could be?. Is it due to BP or something else?.
|
Omeprazole can be taken. There can be many reasons for abdominal pain. Alcohol intake can also cause abdominal pain. Rarely, high BP can cause ischemia of the intestinal walls causing pain.it depends on the age.

I woke up yesterday morning with a few red bumps on my lips & hands let it go for a few hours and my whole body was covered but my mid- stomach& back and my lower legs. Ive been treated for allergic reaction since I was a kid due to contact with certain soaps & etc.. I get a steroid & Benadryl next day it usually cleared right up. This time I Went to the doctor this and told her the only things Ive done differenly at home is bought a new scented dryer sheet and I used rubbling alcohol on my face the night before as well as using hydrogen peroxide as a oral rinse. She than prescribed me prendisone for it for a week. 40mg -2days than 30mg 2 days and so on till its gone. Its been 24 hours and my rash isnt any better & seems worse, Im extremely, nauseous & very tired and irritable is this normal if not what should I do???
|
Hi, rash following contact with a new antigen is presumed to be allergic. You should at least have responded to steroid by now. Since there is no response, the possibility of other causes of rash like a viral rash should be considered. Watch out if you develop fever or pains. If that happens, revisit your doctor. Hope this helped.

I have gallstones. Should I get my gallbladder taken out? II have gallstones. Should I get my gallbladder taken out? I have only had the one attack (which landed me in the ER). I have heard so many "horror stories" about the surgery that I am afraid to have it done. Can they do the laparoscopic surgery on me if I am overweight? I watched the procedure being done on youtube and I noticed that they place three clamps on the duct before cutting it loose. Do these stay in the body or are they removed? How risky is the surgery and what are the possible complications? How long is the recovery time because I have a two year old son to care for?
|
Hi, Your symptoms may be suggestive of gallbladder stones, so you should do at least ultrasound or CT scan to evaluate it more accurately. This is caused by stone in bile duct and is very common condition. You need to change your dietary habits first. You need to avoid fried food, carbonated Chat Doctor. Furthermore, you should eat more milk products, vegetables and boiled food. If there is no improvement on lifestyle or dietary changes, then surgery is recommended. I hope I have answered you query. If you have any further questions you can contact us in every time. Kindly regards,

i have a pain the is becoming increasingly worse in the last day, it feel like a pulled muscle ( i m very active) however it is tender to the touch also if I cough it hurt. Its located under my lower rib cage and continues just below.. if I squeeze my side I can fill the tissue is tighter has a know,, maybe I have a knot in my oblique? but why is it getting worse
|
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your situation and problem. By your history and description, in my opinion you are mostly having musculoskeletal pain. But we need to rule out pneumonia as it can cause pleurisy (inflammation of pleura) and chest pain on coughing. So get done chest x-ray first. If chest x-ray is normal then no need to worry about pneumonia. You are having chest pain due to excessive coughing. So start antihistamines for suppression of cough. Start painkiller and muscle relaxant. Apply warm water pad on affected site. Avoid heavyweight lifting and strenuous exercise. Don't worry, you will be alright.

Had dental procedure six days ago. I am resistant to the local anesthetics and required quite a bit more ( 7 injections) to eliminate pain, was a little foggy when I left there. ( this resistance is normal for me). I had a perio cleaning, a molar extraction, and a bone graft implanted. The dentist closed with stitches. Because I had a perio deep cleaning on the other side of my mouth and have an aortic valve surgery scheduled in a month, I have been on amoxicillin for 2 weeks and just finished that today. Note that I do not get headaches. Ever. After the extraction, I have not had pain or problems with the wound itself , nor fever or sickness, however, I have had a mostly-pressure headache constantly for the entire week, and it does not seem to be lessening. It is not sharp like a migraine must be, but I also seem to have a light-sensitivity going on as well as the tension-type headache.

Hello, Your surgery is still considered recent, and you are in an initial healing stage. It is not uncommon for you to experience some discomfort. Take anti-inflammatory medication and finish all medication as prescribed. Report your condition to your treating dentist. This is the best recommendation for evaluation post surgery. Upper extractions and surgery raise some concern if there is a sinus complication during the healing process. Do you experience any congestion in your sinus area? This can explain a pressure headache. It is not unusual to experience a pressure sensation with a large amount of inflammation after multiple dental procedures. Again, anti-inflammatory medication may help you deal with this discomfort and your discomfort should continue to decrease with time. There is greater concern if you feel this condition is worsening. Thank you for your inquiry. Please schedule a follow-up visit with your dentist.

My daughter-in-law had a baby 2 months ago. At that time she had a prolapsed Uterus and started hemorrhaging. She was given 4 units of blood. She now is having severe breathing problems but all the pain she is having has now moved to right below her Right shoulder blade and around her upper right quadrant.
|
Hello, Most probably it will be a contusion or musculoskeletal pain. As of now, you can use analgesics/anti-inflammatory combination like diclofenac/serratiopeptidase for symptomatic relief. If symptoms persist better to consult an orthopedic and get evaluated. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Chat Doctor.

Dear Dr Lundi,Hello. I am nineteen years old and for the past few years I have been having these sudden sharp, pin-pricking pain in my left breast only. These are not related to my menstrual cycle. Theyre totally random. Just comes out of nowhere and goes away suddenly as well. Also I have this clear watery fluid coming out of my left nipple and occasionally the right one, ONLY on squeezing them. I also have these two tiny lumps joined together, painful when pressed, in my left breast. Ive noticed them for about a couple of years now, and there hasnt been any change in their size. I had a mammogram done of my left breast but the reports were normal. I am really scared if its breast cancer. I would appreciate some help.Thanking you.
|
Hi, From history it seems that you might be having some chronic soft tissue infection of your breasts. You require evaluation of your case. Consult your GAEC and get your breasts examined thoroughly. If require you may require Mammogram again. Ok and take care.

I am a firefighter, and i know it puts a lot of strain on joints. However over the last month or so I have noticed my the inner most side of my elbow (if extended) appears slightly swollen, kinda "squishy", and is tender to touch as if it was a bruise. However it has not changed.I have also noticed a "knot" on the top of my shoulder that is tender to touch and that my should cracks a lot more, and "pop" in a lot more places then before.
|
Hi I am Chat Doctor. . I hope you feel better soon, I think you may have arthritis or tendinitis as they may show your symptoms. You may use painkillers (NSAIDs) like Tylenol 400 mg tabs when needed as they will help in reducing your pain and inflammation, hot gentle massages with topical anti-inflammatory gels, muscle relaxants, B12 vitamin supplements will be effective for most of the cases. In more chronic and severe cases steroid tabs or injections may be prescribed if required. If these knots persists or increase in mass I recommend some lab investigations and X-ray and follow them up with your orthopedic for proper evaluation and management. Please click and consider a 5-star rating with some positive feedback if the information was helpful. Wish you good health, Any further clarifications feel free to ask.

Should a person see a doctor if they have a large (1 1/2 round by 3/4 high) hematoma on the cheek bone caused by a fall? What can be done for it? Will it dissipate by itself? If so, how long should it take? What kind of doctor should this person see?
|
Hello, Hematoma is nothing but a collection of blood. Generally, it will settle by itself in three to four days. As of now, you can apply ice packs for symptomatic relief and faster recovery. If swelling persists, you can consult a dental surgeon and evaluated. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Hello,I am looking for a solution to my severe jaw and temple pain. I recently got a crown put in on my right lower molar, it has been nearly two weeks and Im still experiencing severe jaw pain. Im having trouble opening my mouth to eat and Im taking 800 mg ibuprofen for the pain but as soon as it wears off, the pain is unbearable. Ay suggestions?
|
Hello there, Thanks for writing your query, Pain in the jaw and temple area post crown placement on the tooth indicates problem with the crown coverage. If the prosthetic crown is not in CAUSAL HARMONY with the jaw it leads to pain and discomfort during chewing and clenching. The crown needs to be evaluated for any high points and sharp margins that interfere with the normal occlusion. Consult a dentist and get the crown examined, SELECTIVE GRINDING of the crown will help in resolving the problem. I hope this helps, take care.

my left and right foot keep twitching. It doesnt actually move, it just feels like the muscle is randomly contracting and relaxing. Ive not experienced any other symptoms. This twitching started at night about a week ago and now occur randomly throughout the day.
|
Dear patient muscle twitching is common sign of deficiency of serum calcium i.e. hypocalcemia. It is also common in patients with anxiety and stress. Are u anxious or in stress? Does this twitching occur only when you are free and thinking over? If yes its sign of anxiety. I would like to advise serum calcium levels to rule out hypocalcemia. Meanwhile start tab shell 500 mg twice a day with tab Clairol 60000 units once a week for 4 weeks. Visit to your nearby physician will be helpful.

I am in Stage IV of Cirrhosis of the Liver/Autoimmune Hepatitis. My blood work came back positive a couple of weeks ago. My Dr is in Raleigh, NC and I just moved to Atlanta, GA a couple of weeks ago. My Dr in Raleigh said it was imperative that I seek a Dr here in Atlanta or neaby. Can you recommend a Dr to me. I am also on Medicaid. Thank you.
|
Hi and thanks for the query, It is important to know what came back positive in the blood work up. Was it an infection or was it the presence of absence of viral ;particles? It is important to know what was positive exactly in order to institute an appropriate treatment. Antibiotics are needed in case of infection and antiviral agents, and at times liver transplants in some cases could be offered. More information is required and seek the opinion of your gastroenterologist. Kind regards

Have right foot pain for approximately two weeks, on 2/28 my foot pain woke me in the middle of the night. My foot was very swollen and tender to the touch. Went to the ER, doctor diagnosed me as having Gout, took my blood and wrote me a prescription for indomethacin. At my follow up visit with my regular doctor, she said no way gout , blood is below the range and u don t fall in usual gout criteria. Took X-rays of the foot, no broken bones. Now is sending me to podiatrist, what is wrong with it?
|
Hello, Did you have a history of trauma, fall, or long walking or running lately? From the information you gave, the first diagnosis that comes in my mind is arthritis of the foot bones, could be mid-foot, forefoot or hind foot. Normally, in the x-ray that you did arthritis should have been visible. The second option is stress fracture of foot bones, but only if you had prolonged walking or running recently. This cannot be seen on x-ray, but only on bone CT scan or scenography. There is even more rare disease such as infection or tumors that need to be distinguished. Maybe the podiatrist will order these examinations and blood work for you to diagnose and treat your condition. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

After washing my underpants I kept them to dry , to my surprise I see thousands of red ants around it. Is that a sign of becoming Diabetic ?? Is it any thing to do with diabetes ? I started washing it with warm water but after washing it also Red ants around it making me scared . Kindly answer
|
Red ants or for that matter any ant will get attracted to urine containing sugar (glucose) and the underpants soiled with such urine. Go for urine routine examination to confirm Glycosidic. You may be diabetic or having renal glycosidic. The next step would be estimation of blood sugar fasting and postprandial. If inconclusive go for Glucose tolerance test with 75 G of glucose.

I am aged 42, Male, Diabetic for the past 8 years (Gycomet GP1 tablets 1-0-1 half an hour before food ). When i checked my Hb1Ac last (end Feb13) it showed a reading of 7.3. My BMI is 20.5 Last month end i did a TMT test as part of my companys periodic health checkup and the result was Negative. The doctor said that i had done well! I worked out for more than 10.5 minutes and in the last stage of the TMT test my BP was 90/160. It is normal ? where during normal times my BP reading was 80/130. In the abdomen ultrasound it showed a subcortical cyst in the lower pole of the right kidney measuring 1.7cm x 1.8cm with a calcific speck seen on the wall of the cyst. Is this something to worry about? Do i need to consult anyone for this ? All my blood work result was normal. Also, all the other organs as per whole abdomen US scan was normal. P.S., Chennai, India
|
Hi friend, Welcome to Chat Doctor Heart rate and Blood pressure MUST rise during TMT - if not, it is heart disease! Your test is normal / you have reversed the values - it must be 130/80 - NOT 80/130 - the higher figure is systolic and comes first. The cyst is not big / on the cortex and calcified mean simple / nothing to do except repeat after one year...if symptomatic, see Urologist... Watch your lipids... Take tarnishing speedy recovery God bless Good luck

I have discovered a lump inside my left buttock which is causing me discomfort and soreness when pressed. On examination it seems to have spread from where bottom of my spinal area meets the top of my bottom. There is no visible redness or boil like things on the outer of my skin. Could this just be a cyst or something more serious?
|
Hi.it is best if you have it checked by a physician. Based from your description, it could just be a simple cyst or an abscess. A physical examination by your clinician would be of great help. Diagnostic evaluation such as photocopy and imaging, and management (medical or surgical) will be directed accordingly. Hope this helps. Good day!!~ Chat Doctor.

hellomy wife was told that her ultrasound showed an unremarkable cyst or growth and her doctor said that it was small. She has been experiencing back pain at the end of her period, other than that she has no other symptoms. She had 2 CA125 tests that showed her protein to be high. Can this be due to cancer or are there other reasons for these results?
|
Hi, Ovarian cyst is a common phenomenon. Ultrasound can reliably differentiate between a benign ovarian cyst with some other suspicious ovarian tumors. CA-125 very often increased in many non-malignant causes. Mastectomy may be an option in treatment of ovarian cyst, but that can be decided by your gynecologist. If any suspicious lesion is found on imaging more radical surgery should be done and pathology report should be obtained. Consult your gynecologist.

When I get extremely upset, which is not often, I experience a tingling sensation on the back of my scull. Recently it happened but this time I felt it all over my whole body. Its not painful it just feels like the sensation you might feel if your foot falls asleep. It goes away when I calm down. What could be causing this? Am I having a panic or anxiety attack? Should I see my doctor and if so will he be able to find out whats wrong if it is in fact a physiological condition? I have an iron defficiency, but im otherwise in good health.
|
Dear thank you for sharing with us your health problem. Iron deficiency cant explain the symptoms you are experiencing. My recommendation is to explore thyroid function (T3,T4,TSH) if there come normal than you are experiencing a panic disorder. You should avoid caffeine Chat Doctor.

Ive been to a urologist and we covered everything. Prostate exam, xrays, and ultra sound... diagnosis unsure, so doc gave me a month of antibiotics 3 months. I finished the meds but here I am again with the same pain in testicles and abdomen. Ouch! Pain maybe 7, testicles feel heavy... please help.
|
Hi. Thanks for your query. Noted your history and understood the concerns. You have already seen the urologist and undergone all the necessary tests, prostate, X-rays, ultrasound yet the diagnosis was unsure. So the Urologist gave you a long courses of antibiotics, but the pain is here again 7 on a scale of 10. The pain in the testicles and abdomen with feeling of heaviness indicate that there may be either a local problem which can be diagnosed by MRI of the scrotum. If there is a doubt, there is always a chance to take a second opinion of another Urologist or a senior General Surgeon. Scrotal support to elevate off the weight is also needed.

I have a history of Thyroid cancer.. I am post treatment 9 years.. I recently had a MRI done and it said few scattered subcentimeter lymph nodes within the neck soft tissues.. should I be worried? Should it be checked further? Thanks for your time. . YYYY@YYYY
|
Sub centimeter nodes doe snot mean anything. To tell lymph node enlarged, it should be more than 1.5 cm. hence, I advise to followup after 3 month with neck MRI and monthly to examined by the doctor to see any enlargement of lymph node

can severe pain and mild swelling with warmth central located in the most tender spot, be torn rotator cuff. and exhibit serious pain 8 months after a serious fall which resulted in a broken shoulder on opposite side. I have unexplained pain 10+ scale. Regular xray yesterday showed no fractures, no arthritis. Can you get a rotator cuff tear and have no symptoms and then with out additional injury or unusually use begin exhibiting pain as severe as the broken extremity from last Halloween
|
healthier is difference in rotator cuff tear and supraspinatus tendinitis, whereas in former the movement of shoulder is impaired especially abduction and rotation while lifting arm sideways, in tendinitis there is pain and movements may be painful and not restricted as such, an MRI may distinguish the two. So consult a shoulder surgeon or orthopedic surgeon. In your case, it may be tendinitis. Take Advil thrice a day after meals for 7 days and do hot fomentation, rest arm in a broad arm sling for 10 days., it may help but if not go to orthopedic doctor for investigation. Also apply anti-inflammatory gel like voltarenthanks

Hi. I had a housemate who had this grotty blistery thing all over his feet, which I seem to have caught. I had hoped that when he moved out it would have cleared up, which is not the case. Between the toes, and on the side of my foot Ive had several outbreaks, and when the blisters burst it seems to spread. The blisters and sites in general are very itchy. In the last week I had a large one of these blisters develop on the bottom of my foot, and when it burst it has become quite painful and red and seems to be infected. The skin around this area is also very itchy and is painful to walk on. In the last two weeks I have been working in a very dirty workshop, which would include exposure to dust, dirt and chemicals, and since my work boots are old and full of holes it is more than possible that some of this stuff has gotten into my shoes and to the infected site.Now, Im planning on going to the free university doctor on Monday, because as a student I cant afford to go to one of the emergency weekend docs, so I would like to know if there is anything I can do to reduce swelling or fight infection in the meantime.Thanks muchly :)

Hi there, As you have rightly concluded, we need to deal with the wound infection first, and deal with the blisters later when your university doctor can have a look at it. What I would recommend right now is some anti-inflammatory tablets like diclofenac or even ibuprofen to help deal with the swelling and pain on walking. For the infection itself, if you could get your hands on some antibiotic cream like mupirocin or acidic acid it would be useful to apply it twice a day to help control the infection. If you are not able to get the antibiotic cream, find yourself some antiseptic cream with chlorhexidine or iodine to just help kill off whatever surface bacteria is there. Try to clean the wound twice a day with some antiseptic solution to just get rid of any discharge and bacteria that is collecting on the surface. Keep it as Chat Doctor. Your university doctor would reassess it on Monday and be able to prescribe you oral antibiotics if needed, and further treatment for the blisters itself. Hope this helps.

Hello . My mum has cirrhosis of the liver and has been in and out of hospital for months . She was so so ill couldn.t eat drink walk messing etc . Doctor had diagnosed mum as having a few weeks this was over two weeks ago .She is on morphine patches .but all of a sudden the last few days shes walking eating well drinking chatting laughing like shes getting better. I just don.t understand what is going on? The district nurse mentioned getting the hospice nurses in now but she seems like shes getting better . Please could you let me know if this is normal Thank you

Hi thanks for asking question. Noted your mother having liver cirrhosis. Usually if diet control and lifestyle measures are taken then survival can be longer. It is good to see that your mother is improving. But cirrhosis is not cured ... If she developed any complication like varietal bleeding or ascites then consult your doctor for its management.Meanwhile, take low fat diet. Green leafy veg and fruits useful. Transfat avoided like cheese, burger, chips, meat etc... In diet minimal oil taken, and only good oil used like peanut or sunflower oil. She can do mild exercise. Wishing her good health. Take care.... Chat Doctor.

Hello, What I understand that the knee is too weak now to take the weight of the rest of the bones below the knee. Are you having any kind of pain? What is your age and are you having any signs of high blood pressure or diabetes? Kindly get it Physically examined by an orthopedist and do an MRI scan of the knee. The history sounds more of the full ligament tearing. Taking immediate action will be good as if avoided later the knee internal structures which are of course soft tissue will get damaged and land into the early signs of Osteoarthritis of knee and will demand knee replacement. The earlier, the better. Take an MRI and meet up and orthopedist at the earliest for the better outcome of the treatment. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Jay In Chat Doctor.

my son has been having pain in his right side and more into the middle of his abdomen. He constantly feels like he is going to get sick. He has missed 9 days of schoo counting today. he has had a CT scan and an Ultrasound. BotChatDoctore back fine. They found enlarged limp nodes in that area. I have heard many people say that they had the same thing and the results came back with these test that they didnt need their gallbladder out. then they had a HIDA scan and it showed differently. Once the gallbladder was removed, they felt much better. Help me please. more importanly, how can i help my son?

Hi. Thanks for your query and concern for your son. Young boy missing the school due to pain in abdomen on the right more in the middle of abdomen. Constant feeling of sickness. The CT scan and ultrasonography are not normal as there are few enlarged lymph nodes in the abdomen at the same site. The gall bladder must be normal and removing the gall bladder without any evidence of inflammation or stone is no reason to remove it for a school going child. The reason for the pain in abdomen is obvious. Get the relevant tests of blood, urine and stool, Tidal for Typhoid, Quantifier gold test for Tuberculosis, Ultrasonography guided FNAC ID the nodes are just bellowed the anterior abdominal wall. Give him a 7-day course of antibiotic, metronidazole, probiotic and anti-inflammatory medicines, review the size of the lymph nodes by ultrasonography. Give additional course of 2 more weeks and see the results. He will be fine by then. If there is no regression even after 3 weeks course, he needs Laparoscopic visualization of the abdomen, biopsy of the lymph nodes and then a definitive treatment as per the reports.

My GP has said for some time that I have an auto immune disorder . She doesn t seem to have a solution or name other than fibromyalgia. I have been diagnosed with many inflammatory diseases and am in nearly constant pain from one source or other. (Asthma, Fibrosis in Lungs, Arthritis (including spine and all joints), Fibromyalgia, Celiac Disease, Costochondritis). Any medications that have been able to provide relief my now be taking a toll on my liver and causing symptoms of failure according to my Dr. I am unsure what type of specialist I should be looking for to try to find a solution and some relief.
|
Thank you for your question! I understand your concern. Symptoms of fibromyalgia (FM) are diffuse pain all over the body with some tender points, joint pains, weakness, sleep disturbances and mood disturbances. They frequently interfere with our daily activities. First thing you have to know is FM is benign condition, but take long time to cure. Aerobic exercises, though give you pain and fatigue for short time, it will help you a lot to improve your condition. So, keep doing aerobic exercises. Maintaining regular time for sleeping also helps your condition. You can try amitriptyline tablets. Consult your physician to know the dosage according to your weight and symptoms severity. It is okay to follow up with your GP and there is no need of consulting a specialist. Wishing you fast recovery!

Hi, I am 16 years old. In the last two days I ve started to bleed from my vagina after I pee. I have the Implanon in my arm, have not had a period in 5 months and also I am bloating a lot in the abdomenal region. I am getting a knotting sensation in my rib/ lung area and stomach. And slight cramps, but next to none in my stomach. Have you any idea what the problem could be?

Hi - i am 41, i had my child at the age of 24, and no children thereafter. we are planning for a child desparately now, but my gyna says my egg quality is poor, one miscarriage happened, one IUI failed, one IVF failed. doctors are saying i should go for donor egg, i am not in favor of this. my DH is health, he is 42, his sperm is perfectly fine. what should we do? SS

Hello SST hanks for writing to us with your health query. You should have testing of ovarian reserve. This is tested by measurement of a hormone called AMH (anti Mullein Hormone). It is also measured by AFC (astral follicular count) - counting number of astral follicles on ultrasound on day 2 of your cycle. Also, your capacity to produce good quality eggs can be judged easily by your response to the stimulation injections given for GUI and IVF. If your doctors have opined that your ovarian reserve is poor, you have to accept that. Supplements like DHEA might slightly improve this, but it is not proven conclusively. Yes, the answer for you is egg donation / adoption. Of course, the alternative is following your heart and going for more costly attempts at IVF knowing fully well that the odds are in favor of failure, not success. Hard as it is to arrive to terms with this, the earlier you do, the better. Take care.

I have an allergic reaction when ever i go outside in the day light the lights in my house are not bright and i have been toldi have solar graphia how can i get this to go away because i want to be a normal kid again im Only 15 and i cant go to school because of this and i cant honestly do anything its ruineing my life to be honest

Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor, and thanks for posting your query to the forum. Your solar graphic is actually a problem of photo-dermatitis for which you are getting allergic reaction in sunlight exposure. Our human skin is a multi-layered structure, and it has tendency to wear and tear repeatedly on exposure to environmental factors. In certain situation when the exposure of the environmental factor is too high then the skin has the tendency to get red and itchy. These red areas appear as mild to moderate eruptions on exposed areas of body which are known as POLE. Simply saying sun burns. I would like to suggest you some more of remedies:1) SUN PROTECTION: by sun protection in form of proper covering and clothing. You must wear full sleeves clothes and gloves along with a hat every time you move out in sun. 2) Sunscreens: These do help but not as completely as covering body by clothes. Even then whenever the sunscreen is used-it should be used half an hour before going out as it requires 30 minutes to get activated.3) A LOT OF VITAMIN A and LYCOPENE IN DIET: Vitamin A plays a very important n role in sun protection. It along with certain antioxidants in our diet of fruits helps us best in reducing the damage to sunlight. SO I suggest you to have lot vitamin A and lycopene in diet. You should eat all fruits as well papaya, tomatoes and beat root containing these things in plenty.4) You can also have the antioxidant capsule but follow a good diet as the main part. Your tendency of sun burn will decrease slowly and might take multiple of months to get better form internally, so have patience as well best of measure as suggested above. I hope these information will help you.

In early Spring, I had a very hard, dry cough which did not respond to antibiotics. Had every test and scan to eliminate everything, which they did. XRay showed pleural effusions. This has been drained twice but came back. All testing shows fluid to be benign. Doctor changed a prescription I have been taking for years to see if I might have developed an allergy to it. Next XRay is to be 8-18-11. I know the fluid is still there but is not causing trouble. When I am lieing down at night and take a deep breath, it is a little uncomfortable, but not bad, and I am not bothered too much in the day. I am 63 and do not want to have surgery. Hope it won t be necessary. Is it dangerous to live with this condition? Thank you.

HelloProbably the pleural liquid might be from heart problems. Discuss with your doctor for this. Regards Chat Doctor.

It all started with a small patch of raised itchy skin in the crease of my elbow the i began to have leaking raised itchy skin under one of my breasts. Now there is a small dry itchy patch on top of my vagina pubic area and dry itchy patches on the nape of my neck. Now its to the point where my arms, thighs, legs, butt, and arm pits itch as well..... how do i stop the itching???
|
HelloThanks for your query. You should consult a dermatologist. Multiple itchy and scaly areas could indicate a skin condition like psoriasis, lichen etc. It could also herald a liver disease. Also, moisturize your skin well, and avoid scratching or touching the areas. Get your blood sugars tested as well. All the best.

Your bilirubin level don't seem high it is within normal limit and variations is of negligible. So if you don't have any problem then forget the bilirubin level. And if you have problems then consult physician. No need of repeated investigation for fluctuating bilirubin

Five days ago I felt pain under my neck area and noticed several small lumps (next to each other) on my left side of my neck/throat. They re lower down my neck than where my lymph nodes are normally swollen, although I know I ve got lots of them all over. They haven t gone away yet. I noticed that when I swallow I feel something in my throat, I ve been tired recently and that I m always cold. Anything to worry about or just my body fighting off something so my lymph nodes irritated?
|
Welcome to Chat Doctor .1. The history suggest multiple enlarged lymph nodes in the neck region and as you said its chronic cause.2. Lymph nodal enlargement is seen in presence of local infection / inflammation, systemic cause and finally lymph nodal pathology itself.3. For better evaluation - after examination an ultrasound neck would help.4. Ultrasound will help to find out the nature of lumps its source and extensions.5. An FNAC - fine needle aspiration cytology to evaluate the cause / cells present.6. After that appropriate treatment can be taken. Hope it helps you. Wish you a good health. Anything to ask ? Do not hesitate. Thank you.

Hi, Its difficult to figure out the cause of constipation. Constipation definition varies from person-to-person. Stools may be too hard or too small, difficult to pass, or infrequent (less than three times per week). Some people with constipation may feel a sense that the bowels are not empty advice:- stop any medication being used for constipation for a week - thrice daily, take two teaspoon (or one big spoon) spatula husk with 200 to 300 mL water-increase warm water(at least 8 glass/day) intake-do not Chat Doctor. ) altogether-mix few

I have a four year old who has had low grade temp every other week or so since winter. I dismiss this as cold/viral. She started last week AGAIN with a croupy cough and mild congestion which I treated with OTC meds. Yesterday morning she was sleepy acting and went down for a nap at 10 am after waking around 8 am and slept for 1 1/2 hours. She woke with a temp of 102.5 and has run a steady temp since then even with tylenol. The lowest it has been has been 100.5 although she does not really have other complaints and seems to be achey as she wants to be held then wants to lay on the sofa or bed next to us, wants her back rubbed then asks almost immediately for us to stop. SHOULD I have her seen today?
|
it's better to be checked by her pediatrician, to assess her respiration, croup usually is associated with low grade fever, a complete physical exam will confirm the diagnosis and respiratory status should be checked carefully by the examiner .hope she becomes better soon

Hello, EEC is basically a method to relieve anginal pain in patients who are not a candidate for angioplasty or bypass. Its benefit is plus minus only. It's not available in AIMS but in Vedanta. If you are advised angioplasty, then you should undergo it and EEC is not an alternative to it.

my son has been having asthma flare ups over the past several months at least once a month. Every time his asthma flares up his doctor puts him on prednisone. Over the past couple months I have noticed his voice becoming hoarse in addition to having a cough. The coughing wakes him at night when he has the exacerbations . Is there anything else we can be doing to better manage his asthma? He is currently using symbicort

Hollowed this very carefully and you will get the desired answer for your son. ASTHMA :Airways hyperresponsiveness that is secondary to inflammatory airways' disease that results in recurrent or chronic episodes of WHEEZE, SHORTNESS of BREATH(SOB0, CHEST TIGHTNESS &/or COUGH particularly at night or in the early morning (your son is having all these symptoms including hoarseness of voice, may be due to laryngeal edema (side effect of prednisolone or inflammation of larynx). Pollen, dust (fine dusting powder) mist, molds, pests (cockroaches) , fumes, smoking (active and passive) , sudden chance of temperature (increase or decrease) , as all these are predisposing factors which triggers asthmatic attack. If possible avoid these. When such patient visit my clinic I prescribe Montelukast+albuterol tablet once or twice in day. Dosage are 0.2 mg of / kg body weight of each tablet. Hot coffee and steam inhalation provide instant relief as these acts as bronchodilators. I never prescribe PREDNISOLONE my patient. This is only meant for serious cases.

After a nasty attack 18 months ago, I was left with a broken jaw in 3 places. After two ops it was fixed to the best they can with 5 plates. Since then I ve not been able to open my mouth properly, would say there s a gap of 1.5 cm between teeth when fully open. During the last few wks I m suffering constant pain all down the left side of my face, hurts more when I move head up and down. Any ideas...thanks
|
Hello and thank you for your question. You need to have your jaw rebroken clinically and realigned correctly. Your bite is now off and this is affecting how your jaw moves around the jaw joint. Surgery would be the best option for you and possible orthodontic intervention to help get your teeth to touch correctly. Best wishes to you.

Hello.For the past 4-5 days, the right side of my stomach has hurt. Its not excruciating pain but it hurts. Made worse when I press on it. I have also had an on and off low grade fever (around 99.5 degrees) and nausea. Also, the right side of my stomach feels harder than the left side.
|
Based on your description, you seem to be suffering from gastritis. If that is the case, you would need to take omeprazole capsule once daily before breakfast for one and a half months. You also need to take small but frequent meals. However, the final diagnosis can be made only after proper examination and I strongly insist that you visit a doctor and get yourself examined. The low grade on and off fever needs to be investigated and is probably unrelated to your abdominal pain. You would need to get it investigated to rule out conditions like tuberculosis which could be a possible cause.

hi i keep getting restless with a figitiy feeling inside, usually starts early eve and then stps but wakes me up in the early hours, it feels as though something is crawling around inside. i am 44 years old very active so i unsure if it is restless leg sydrome as i get it all over.
|
Hi, I think you should clear the doubt about the restless leg syn Chat Doctor. Any small touch of the intervertebral disc to the cervical spine may lead to abnormal nerve symptoms. It is a possibility that when a small touch to the spinal cord can lead to such symptoms. Post-MRI we can help you assist better. As your age is 44 we can expect some wear and tear of the spinal bones, disc and ligaments which can possibly cause some symptoms. For now, I will advise doing core stability exercises, spinal muscle strengthening exercises, hip strengthening exercises, static qua

Hello Doctor, I am of 29yrs old and a mother of a 3 yr old. My husband is abroad and I am going to stay with him by Jan. We are not planning to have a second one until my kid is atleast 5. So I am looking for an opinion for having an IUD as we are not happy with condoms and scared of the side effects of pills. I consulted a doctor in my place and she says it is difficult for her to insert as the cervix is a bit above than usual and it would be very painful. I have read that this can also be done by giving local anaesthesia. I would like to have a second opinion on this.
|
Hi, With good positioning, there usually is no difficulty in IUD insertion. If I were your doctor, To facilitate the procedure I would ask you to come for IUD insertion just after census. I would advise you to take a tablet of Broken 2 hours before IUD insertion. This would take care of possible discomfort. I would ask you to pass urine just before the procedure and place you in lithotomy position and insert IUD. There is no need for any local cervical anesthesia. The prick of the local anesthesia would cause same discomfort as inserting IUD. Broken is enough to take care of the discomfort. I hope this helps.
