sometime hopefully this month i ll be getting a biopsy done to see if the black dots in my mouth are cancerous or not.. i read from people that these are super painful, but sadly the insurance company will only pay for the use of anesthetics (?) once a year.. is there a strong pain medicine i can take in place? if so, can they be crushed up or come in liquid form? i cannot swallow pills. i am an 18 years old female. sorry for being a burden but i am just scared..

Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor, I have gone through your query and understand your concern. The ulcers could be recurrent authors ulcers or herpetic ulcers. Consult an oral physician and get it ruled out. If it is recurrent authors ulcer then the escort works, if it doe snot work then you can take amlexanox paste. If it is because of herpes viral infection the escort will not work, you have to just take symptomatic treatment like using topical anesthetic and analgesics like Anabel gel. Do not take tension because tension aggravates both herpes and authors ulcers. Thank you.

Firstly you need to control weight. If you do so, in most of the cases, you will have regular periods and even can conceive without any treatment. If still there is conception or period problems. We need to check fertility factors of both husband and wife and then can treat accordingly.

Hi, thanks for using Chat Doctor Though a woman is more likely to conceive during a specific point of her menstrual cycle, pregnancy is possible at any part of the menstrual cycle. This means that it would be important to be intimate with your husband as often as possible. A healthy lifestyle for both of you would also be important. This means exercise and healthy eating habits. If, after a year, there is still a problem with conceiving then you can seek the assistance of a fertility doctor. I hope this helps

Sir i am facing a problem of heart beating high rate while walking and also working land grass cutting .land scraping abt last 2 months .while high rate of pulse so that time i have faced the problem headache on that time suddenly fall down.it is irregular but alternate motion.pls sir help me. Give me sugestion wt i do now

Hello, This will need evaluation, as we need to rule out cardiac arrhythmia like PSV or atrial fibrillation, in which heart rate suddenly goes up and also suddenly decreases. Blood pressure falls during these episodes and one has dizziness, fainting, blackouts, sometimes syncope. Usually ECG is normal as it is usually done in between the episodes. ECG done during episodes will show abnormality. You will need 24 hour holder monitoring. So visit nearby cardiologist for this investigation. Also, hemoglobin and thyroid test should be done. Ln order to abort such episodes you should try to cough hard. Is there any stress or anxiety associated. Till the time your evaluation is complete, you can ask your local doctor for tab collar LA 20 mg once a day. If none of the above is successful then last option is of electrophysiologist studies which is invasive test which can diagnose and treat the arrhythmia permanently in most of the cases. Hope this helps you and get back if you have any doubts.

I had breast pain so when I was scanned I was told l have fibroadenoma. The doctors said I will be operated but on reaching the theatre they discovered that the lump was big and suspects cancer. So I was not operated. The doctor recommended some drugs for me to use which are Evening Primrose Oil Softgels, baume Leopard and clofenac. To be taken for 2 weeks. This is exactly one week and am feeling a tremor in my legs and hands.
|
HelloWelcome to Chat Doctor. For evaluation of any breast lump ;the standard recommendation is to undergo triple evaluation. It includes clinical examination, imaging(mammogram/ultrasonogram) and needle biopsy. If you have breast lump, and it is suspicious according to your doctor, it is better to get fine needle aspiration biopsy which gives you definite diagnosis whether it is cancer or not. Tremor in legal and arms does not seem related to your breast lump. Regards

For the past 3 days I have had a fullness and pain in my lower abdomen. I have no appetite before mid-afternoon. Simply seem to disappear by 7-8PM. My guess was a bladder infection, but no pain with urination. I am a 34 year old female and am positive I am not pregnant.
|
HI. The causes of Fullness and Pain in Lower Abdomen with loss of appetite can be due to Enteritis, Typhoid, and such problems of the intestine. This is a natural process when there is intestinal infection or affection of whatever reason, the first thing the body responds by loss of appetite, This is a natural protective mechanism. I would advise the blood tests _ CBC, tidal for typhoid, culture and sensitivity of the blood for typhoid, liver functions as hepatitis is one of the important reasons for loss of appetite. Ultrasonography if required by the Doctor who would examine you and prescribe you the proper treatment. This can not really occur due to Urinary Bladder infections

I have always had digestive issues. Recently, within the last 4 months I have not felt well after having an URI. I just never got better. I started feeling fatigue, nauseated, etc. I had blood work done for thyroid and even though numbers are within range, I had all systems of being hypo. Doctor put me on natural thyroid meds as I am a natural type of person. Since taking, I have lost about 12 pounds, which I really didnt have to lose because I never really had the symptom of gaining weight. I was very low in iron so am on an iron supplement now too. A natural one of course. I have no appetite, always feel like I have to vomit and gag a lot. I started this back with the URI though. I have burning in my left shoulder blade at times. I belch all the time which I have done for a long time too, just seems like it is getting worse. Is it the thryoid meds doing this or what. I just had more blood work done on Friday as my gyno was concerned about my symptoms so she is doing blood work on pancreas, liver, the whole shot. I am very concerned primarly because of the weight loss that is unexplained. I dont eat a lot because I have such a full feeling to begin with and then if I eat too much I feel sick. any suggestions.
|
Hi... the problem you are facing is due to the iron supplements. Take some antacids for this. Take iron after heavy dinner... take some multivitamin supplements and digestive enzyme preparation. Take the help of dietician for constructing a balanced diet for you. It is good that you are undergoing investigation for this. All the best.

my daughter, 15 months old (9.1 kg), is suffering from high temp. fever ranging from 102 deg F to 106 deg F since last 5 days. Her doctor prescribed Syp. Meftal-P & Syp. Maxtra-P each 5 ml/3 times a day. After 3 days with these two medicines, fever exists same. Usually, the fever comes 7 hours after medicine. Now, yesterday, I went to another child specialist and as per him, its typhoid. This doc suggested for some blood & urine tests and along with that also prescribed Syp. Ziprax-100 (3 ml, twice a day for 10 days), Ibugesic Plus (4.5ml, 4 times a day, SOS/fever). When they tried to take blood sample from by baby in the lab, they failed as my daughter is very naughty and also crying too much. what so ever, after this crying/trying event, doc also suggested to try with Ziprax-100 as per prescription and revisit to doc after 3 days. So far, the Ziprax-100 is given to my baby 3 times i.e. yesterday at 11am, 10pm and today 10am. Please note that my baby had a fever around 100 deg F at 8pm (yesterday) and 7am (today). After medicine (Ibugesic Plus) the goes down. But, now (@11:30am) my baby is feeling very uncomfortable & crying suddenly. What to do ? Please suggest ...... (Should the blod test need to be done immediately ?)

Hi Welcome to the ChatDoctorIts very important to confirm typhoid with blood test such as Tidal and blood culture and sensitivity. Tidal test usually comes positive after 5-7 days of fever. Once confirmed, typhoid fever requires prompt treatment with antibiotics. If diagnosed in its early stages, the condition is likely to be mild and can usually be treated at home with a 7 to 14-day course of antibiotic tablets. If fever doesn't respond to the given Chat Doctor. More serious cases of typhoid fever usually require admission to hospital, so antibiotic injections can be given. With prompt antibiotic treatment, she will start to feel better within a few days. For further questions, do contact us.

|
Hi... Please do not panic. I suggest you to put pressure on the side of the nostril where the bleed is happening. The most common cause for this is nose picking habit. Nothing to worry about it. But with the above maneuver if the bleeding is not arrested withing 15 minutes I suggest you take her to the nearest emergency room or doctor. Regards -

### Question: my 19month old girl had 2day for the first time nose bleeding while she was asleep it started and 3-4times more after she woke up,is t too bad bleeding,but i just don t know what to do?do i have to go to the dr?will i just keep her in eyes for couple of days?thk u.
### Answer: Hi... Please do not panic. I suggest you to put pressure on the side of the nostril where the bleed is happening. The most common cause for this is nose picking habit. Nothing to worry about it. But with the above maneuver if the bleeding is not arrested withing 15 minutes I suggest you take her to the nearest emergency room or doctor. Regards -

Could an abscessed tooth be causing muscle pain and cramping in other areas of the body than the mouth?
|
Hi, An abscess can result in muscle pain only in the Head and Neck region. An abscessed tooth can also give rise to fever. A dentist should be consulted and antibiotics and treatment for the tooth should be obtained.

My 1 year old son is suffering from severe chest congestion. He has been prescribed Asthalin syrup 5 ml 3 times daily Advent antibiotics 5 ml 2 times daily It s been 3 days of medication n there is no improvement. He coughs throughout night he is not able to eat nor drink milk. He passes watery motion after consumption of these medicines. Plz help.
|
I do not know where you are but if you have an option of giving the Stalin as a breathing treatment rather than syrup that would be better. Advent is known to cause diarrhea. It is a good antibiotic however, and you can lessen the diarrhea by giving probiotics (Lactobacillus). For now do not worry about milk but try to get your child to Chat Doctor. You need to keep up with his increased need for fluids from the illness as well as with the extra fluid losses from the diarrhea. He would benefit from a small amount of mashed banana (not baby food, but real banana mashed up) to help slow the diarrhea and replace potassium lost in the diarrhea. You can help with the cough by giving him warm water with honey to sip and by cool humidified air if possible. If you have cough

Hi, I just noticed that my 12 yr old daughter has a noticeable bump on the outside of her leg, just below the knee, that appears to be part of the fibia (sp?) bone. After examining her other leg...and myself & my other daughter s legs...it appears that this area does have a slight natural swelling, but it it very noticeable and larger on her one leg. I have no idea how long it has been like this and she doesn t either. Is it in the realm of normal for this to occur? I have made an appointment to see her doctor tomorrow, but in the meantime I am worried.
|
Welcome to the ChatDoctorI understand your concerns. The swelling can be due normal variation or an overgrowth. But definitely, if its very prominent, it needs a proper evaluation by orthopedic surgeon. They may advise you for a limb X-Ray if required. Hopefully this will help you. Take care

Hi. I just had my 11 month old daughter get a CBC to check if there is even a slight possibility that she has leukemia. I am very concerned about leukemia happening again in our family because my baby sister died of it more than 20 years. We sent to the hospital because I saw 3 small "bruises" on her leg a week ago. They were pale brown, not the red-bluish bruise you get from a you get hit hard by something. My daughter started to walk a month ago and does not seem to mind falling and hurting herself just to reach what she wants grab. The bruises could have just been from her walking or crawling. She has no fever. Her appetite is good; no weight loss; no signs of weakness. But we were still worried.From her CBC: RBC was normal (4.86 x 10^12/L), platelet was "adequate", but WBC elevated (14 x 10^9/L). I believe that should be about 14,000/ cubic mm. Blood morphology said "Smear shows slightly hypochromic, microcytic red blood cells. Platelets are adequate".Should I be worried? I do not want to subject my daughter to a battery of tests for a witch hunt for leukemia. Thanks.

Hi and welcome to Chat Doctor. It is good to be cautious about children health but Hyperion Chat Doctor. Blood work is normal, slightly raised WBC means nothing or some healed respiratory infection. These bruises would be related to thrombocytes and looting factors and these are normal so she probably just got hit and you didn't notice. Leukemia is rare, you should visit doctor if you find something suspicious but spare your child of unnecessary blood testing every time you notice fever, bruise or cough. Wish you good health.

sir from last night a lady is suffering from brainfever,she has completely lossed her memory.so wht we can do now.we r in bhopal hospital n admitted in ccu.
|
Hello Mr. Rajkumar;welcome to Chat Doctor Brain fever can be due to viral infection;bacterial infection, so the treatment will depend on the type of infection. Viral infection is most of the time self limiting and inspire of treatment it takes time to recover. In case of bacterial infection if the bacteria is sensitive to the antibiotic selected she should improve in few days. Since she is in CCU then I guess the doctors are treating her appropriately and keeping watch on her progress, so please wait and see;she should improve. Thanks

hi, my child is 4 year old and her weight is 14kg. she is suffering from high fever past 2days. doctor asked me to give her paracetaml suppository 250mg 4th hourly and also to give her brufen syrup alternatively, is it ok to give her these medicines? waiting for you replay
|
Hi...you can use both...but make sure that the paracetamol is spaced out at least 4th hourly once, and it is oral medication and not a suppository. Broken can be given at the interval of 8 hours once not less than that. Fever of few days without any localizing signs could as well a viral illness. Usually rather than fever, what is more important is the activity of the child, in between 2 fever episodes on the same day. If the kid is active and playing around when there is no fever, it is probably viral illness and it doesn't require antibiotics at all. Once viral fever comes it will there for 4-7 days. So do not worry about duration if the kid is active. Regards -

My 3 year old son awakened with severe stomach pain twice tonight. The first time I gave him a child s Tums and he seemed to get some relief and went back to sleep lying on my chest. Then, about an hour ago he awakened again with pain but it was more severe. I had my husband take him to the ER. Did we overreact?
|
Hi...you did not overreact. What you did is right. A 3-year-old crying of stomach pain is a significant symptom. His age is such that he cannot express himself also well. An examination by a physician is always reassuring. What you did is right. Regards -

Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor, As you are bitten by your pet hedgehog, which is known to transmit rabies if it carries the rabies virus in it. The disease rabies is 100% fatal, but it is 100% preventable by proper treatment. For your bite and the symptoms I would suggest you to follow1. Wash the wound thoroughly with soap and water for at least 15 mins2. Antirabies vaccine on days 0,3,7,14 and 28, which should be administered intramuscular to the deltoid muscle3. Antirabies serum, should be administered in and around the biting wound.4. In Tetanus, should be given intramuscular. These medications will help you to protect you against the disease rabies. Thank you.

My husband has had chemotherapy for DLBCL and has now been in remission for 1.5 months. Is it normal that he is having a lot of muscle pain in shoulders and upper arms? It is waking him up at night. Pain level is between 4 and 6 out of 10. He is also seeing a physiotherapist to regain his muscle strength.
|
Here if the muscle pain is due to his present medical history or treatment then It's difficult to cure completely. When I have patient like this I keep them. On frequent use of hot and cold pack. And will check with their doctor (oncologist) safely is there any medication can be given. Apart from this he is already under physio, so I am sure based on his current situation Physiotherapist will also be making him do some sort of muscle tanning, stretching and strengthening exercises. So continue with that. Take care.

I have large lumps on both calves of my legs. They are soft (marshmallow like) when pushed. They are a located in the center of the calf, a little to the outside of center. They are about 2.5 inches in diameter, protrude out about 3/8 to 1/2 inch causing the lump. They are not painful and I only noticed them when I was rubbing my leg, thought I was gaining muscle mass but when I pushed on them, it was clear it was not muscle. Any ideas what it is?
|
Hi ! Good evening. I am Chat Doctor answering your query. After a clinical examination to rule out varicose veins, I would advise you for a FNAC (Fine needle aspiration cytology) of the lesion to know the origin and character of the lump. Further management would depend on the investigation reports. I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts. Thanks for choosing Chat Doctor to clear doubts on your health problems. I wish you an early recovery. Chat Doctor.

Hi, I have been on cerazette for about 8/9 month now and haven t had a problem with it, i was on penicyllin antibiotics, i took my last set of antibiotics on wed 5th january and had intercourse early wednesday morning, I was worried i could be pregnant, so today I took a pregnancy test and it was negative, is there need to take another one at a later date or do you think i am worrying far too much.. Thank you :)

Dear Madam, Your narration could not clarify when did you have your menses, whether you missed it and on which day the cycle you had sexual intercourse. Also, cannot figure out whether you are still on Cigarette, which is a birth control pill. In that case the chances of pregnancy are very remote. To guide you further on the urine pregnancy test: Usual urine pregnancy tests are more reliable 8-10 days after missing the period, before which they may give false negative results. However, beta Chat Doctor tests are more specific and sensitive and can give reliable results even within 2-3 days of missed period. You may try this test to clear the dilemma in your mind if you have missed your period. If you have not missed the period, please do not panic. Wait for your periods. If you miss the period, then only follow the guidelines about the pregnancy tests given above. I hope this helps you.

My right arm shakes alot that I cant write anymore head sometimes shakes and lower have been through a lot of tests and no one can tell me what is wrong with me they say I am disabled now it has been going on for about 3 years now had scans, mri, blood tests seen neurologists maybe you might have some ideas I am 54 years old on insulin overweight high blood pressure they say it is not a stroke because nothing shows on MRI and I loose my balance so if I go for a long walk I have to use a walker short walks I use a cane. hope you can give me some ideas thank youShirley Miller

Hi, Thank you for posting your query. It is unfortunate that you are suffering on account of your neurological symptoms, and moreover, no diagnosis has been made. Normal MRI rules out stroke, as it would be clearly seen on the MRI. The possibilities include essential tremors, parkinsonism and cerebellar ataxia. If you can upload a copy of your MRI report, it would be useful. Also, if you can mention the abnormalities found by the neurologist on examination, it would be useful. For relief from tremors, you can use propranolol, a beta blocker. I hope it helps. Please get back if you require any additional information. Wishing you good health, Chat Doctor. Ly/

I have had scoliosis surgery when I was 14 years old I am now 31 had 3 children and worked at jobs that require heavy lifting long standing for 8 to 10 hours now I have been having constant lower back pain when I bend down my lower spine sticks out and the side of my lower back sits higher than the other. Could this be a flat back syndrome?
|
IIN my opinion back pain is due to heavy weight lifting due to abnormal pressure in a curvature of low back region. Seeing that you had scoliosis surgery, your doctor may have asked you to change the nature of work and prevent your back from excessive strains, like weighty objects lifting or lifting while bending. Change to lighter work is a solution. Take physical therapist help for graded and limited back muscle strengthening exercises only and refrain from back loading works

Hi, I take 5mg Ramapril a day for high b pressure, yesterday despite that my b pressure was 172 over - 80 -or ninty not sure which!! so have to have ecg etc next week, my question is ---- I am so anxious since she told me I could not sleep last night (Isuffer from anxiety anyway) so, can I take KALMS ?as I can feel my pressure is not good! I also take amitrypline for pain and pencillian as no spleen . thankyou.
|
You appear to be worried about changes in your BP measurement. Do not be preoccupied with it. Could you please specify content of PALMS which you feel could relieve you of anxiety? It appears like some sleeping pill. It is recommended for you to relax till you get ECG done, carry out light activity. Anyway you are taking amitryptillline which could help you to relieve anxiety symptoms. If the symptoms persists for long then please get a review from your treating team

I m an obese male. Would stretch marks on my chest hurt? Medically I m okay aside from the need to lose weight, but I will get chest pains, but I can pin point them to where the stretch marks on my chest are. So do stretch marks hurt? And how can I stop it?
|
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your situation and problem. Yes, stretch marks can cause superficial pain at the site of Mark. But better to first rule out cardiac cause for your chest pain as you are obese. Obese patients tend to have higher cholesterol level. And possibility of Coronary artery obstruction due to cholesterol deposition in coronary arteries is high. And this can cause chest pain. So better to get done ECG and 2d echo first. If both are normal than no need to worry much for heart diseases. Weight loss should be done as soon as possible. And excess fat tissue can cause inflammatory reaction at the site of stretch marks. So first rule out cardiac cause and start weight reduction. Once you lose weight, inflammation will decrease and pain will also decrease. At present, you can take simple painkiller and anti-inflammatory Chat Doctor. Hope I have solved your query. Wish you good health. Thanks.

My 10 year old son is home sick today throwing up. this happens almost once a month. it seems flu-like but nobody in household gets sick. he has no health issues that I am aware of. Could he have a food allergy or something that I should take him to doctor and have physical? It seems to last a day and then he is fine the next day. He is shorter for his age - about 50 inches and about 65 pounds.
|
HI, thanks for using Chat Doctor It is possible that he is allergic or intolerant to certain foods. Vomiting may also be a symptom of HERD (gastroesophageal disease). You may want to consider a food diary to monitor if there are specific foods that provoke this reaction. If you can determine the foods then they can be eliminated. I hope this helps

Ive had severe lower abdomen pain for a while now accompanied with lumbar pain. I dont know what is wrong. I have had this pain for long time and have been going to pain clinic. I take lortabs 7.5-500. Recently they havent helped. I cant sleep bc of the pain. I had my large intestine removed in 2006. It was a dead organ. I had hysterectomy, December 2012 leaving only left ovary, bc I uterine fibroids and endemetriosis. I thought this would end the pain. After a few months the pain returned with a vengeance. I dont know what is going on. I just had a lumbar x-ray on lumbar and after results where sent to doctor he ordered a blood test on kidneys bc he wants to up my dose! Please, any information or advice would be helpful at this point!Thank you Courtney Age 35

Hello. You must wait the results of the tests that your doctor has requested you to find the cause of pain(kidney pathology, backbone....) The important is to know the cause of pain for better treatment. If it is not possible to find the cause of pain, in Pain Clinic or your doctor can prescribe powerful painkillers more than what you are taking now. I wish you good health

Hi Doctor, My father has had brain cancer since 2009. 95% of it was removed through surgery but it has since come back on the opposite side of his brain (the left). There are currently two tumors, which add up to 9cm. He is sleeping a lot and not very responsive. He does not wake up easily and has sudden movements sometimes. I wanted to know if these are signs of him slipping into a coma?
|
Dear friend, welcome to Chat Doctor. Yes, he has worsening grades of consciousness, progressing toward coma. With recurrence, the outlook may not be great, of course it depends on many factors.pl. get him checked up and undergo appropriate treatment. Take care and keep me posted on your progress.

Dear Sir, I am wheatish in colour but my skin is soft. In may 2009 i had few pimples and allopathy doctor suggested chemical peel. First time it was effective. Second time i was totally effected and my skin became darker specially at mouth portion almost black. i had used lot of creams and got further peels done and my skin became dry and got lot of pimples. Later since i felt my skin became allergic to allopathy i shifted to homeopathy and used for an year. now i skin is slightly bright and no pimples but the pigmentation at mouth portion specially at lip ends is not reducing. I thought of using ayurvedic parallelly and visited yesterday only Ayurvedic doctor and he asked me to use Evenshade cream and gave me few tablets for 15 days. I would like to know from you sir since my skin is very sensitive and even if i apply lemon it becomes darker at mouth portion, is it safe to use evenshade. I request you to reply to this sir. Thank you in advance
|
After chemical peels it is very important to use broad spectrum sunscreen with spf50 morning afternoon at least 15 minutes before stepping out. Cover the face with cloth or use umbrella. For darker area around the mouth apply cream containing HY Chat Doctor. Avoid lemon for now.

My 4 yr old son, has history of GERD diesase, hole in the heart, hydrocele, hernia, night time leg pain.He recently sdtarted to have nighttime nose bleeds and a blood test revealed a slightly raised AST level. Are these related and should i be worried?
|
AST is a non-specific enzyme...may or may not be associated with underlying liver disease...but if he has nose bleeds then check his prothrombin time because prolonged PT due to liver disease causes bleeding...since your child does not have other features like jaundice, the nose bleeds may be isolated event....unrelated to AST ...

### Answer: AST is a non-specific enzyme...may or may not be associated with underlying liver disease...but if he has nose bleeds then check his prothrombin time because prolonged PT due to liver disease causes bleeding...since your child does not have other features like jaundice, the nose bleeds may be isolated event....unrelated to AST ...

My spleen is enlarged from autoimmune hemolytic anemia. This is the coldest winter in history. I have had intermittent irregular bowel movements or diarrhea. Could this be due to irritation of the bowel. Plus I have an intermittent dull ache in the abdomen!
|
Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. Your diarrhea may be due to autoimmune hemolytic anemia, infection or irritable bowel. You should take ofloxacin and ornidazole like Chat Doctor. If it doesn't respond to treatment then you need to go for further investigation. Steroids should be taken for your autoimmune hemolytic anemia. These all

My daughter is presently eight years old and she was under foracort 100 inhalation since her fourth year. Presently, for the past six months, she is administered Budesonide (Budecort) 200 twice daily to control the wheezing . What are all the likely impact of these medicines on her general health and growth because of the continuous inhalation for the past 4-5 years. When these medication can be stopped.
|
Welcome to Chat Doctor. Steroid medications given by inhalers are usually safe, as there are less systemic side effects (side effects on other body systems). Both Forecourt and Decor are steroid medications. I would like to know:How has her control of Asthma/wheezing episodes? Has she been admitted in hospital? Is she getting any other asthma medications along with steroid inhalers? It is also important to continue monitoring her growth - weight and height whilst she is receiving steroids. Has there been any change in her growth profile over past 4-5 years? Steroids given in higher dosage or pretty long period of time (as in your case) can have impact. However, it is important to weigh the balance of these side effects vs controlling her asthmaInhaler medications can be stopped gradually provided her symptoms are well-controlled and regularly followed-up. I hope I've been able to answer your queries. Regards Chat Doctor.

I am experiencing intermittent facial (next to my nose), bilateral cheekbone and temple, front of neck and the bones around the eyes pain.It seems it might be related to ill fitting dentures that require lots of adhesive to keep them in. Could my dentures be causing all this almost unbearable pain that remains even after removing dentures?.
|
Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query. The pain in the cheekbone and temple, front of neck and the bones around the eyes could be because of the ill-fitting denture, or it can be because of the high points in the denture or any sharp borders in the denture. These causes result in abnormal forces over the facial musculature and results in pain. Consult a prosthodontist and get the denture corrected or repeat the denture. For the pain you can take analgesic with muscle relaxant(tablet flexion MR). I hope my answer will help you, take care.

|
Hi. All the symptoms of nausea and others are suggestive of either gastritis or a gall bladder problems. I would advise you the following :Ultrasound of the abdomen. Upper GI endoscopy. Blood for WBC, liver function tests, amylase and lipase. These will give us an early diagnosis and a plan for future treatment.

I fell yesterday, stiking my lumbar area. shortly after, I developed tingling in my feet, which has since has moved up to my thighs six years ago, I fell out of bed, noted tingling in my hands. i was diagnosed with a C5 incomplete fracture which required 2 surgeries and left me paralysed . I recovered after 6 months in rehab. Should I go to the E.R?
|
Hi, I think you should go to ER and take up and x-ray or an MRI. If your pain is disabling surely you should go to ER. but if it is not much then why don't you try doing some hot water fermentation for lower back muscles which will be spasm and then slowly look for some exercise which helps strengthen your core muscles. I am sure you will be helped and the pain and tingling sensation will come down. I wish you a speedy recovery.

hello last week I used misoprostol for medical abortion. one day after discontinue my drug , I had a bad head ache that aggrevate during midnight. it doesnt response to brufen or acetaminophen. it is about 5 days that i experience this headache. please tell me is it related to drug or I should do something else.
|
Hi, You need to keep a track of your blood pressure. If acetaminophen or Ibuprofen are not effective more potent analgesic like Tramadol and Naproxen should be used alone or in combination. If pain persists a neurologist review to look for signs of increased intracranial pressure etc. may be done post Bisoprolol etc. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further. Wishing you a speedy recovery.

Hello, 2 wks ago a kid kicked my son in the right hand! The nurse at school put ice on it and said it looked better. Last night we noticed his knuckle in his index finger is shoved back about an inch from were it should be. He said it doesn t hurt. Is it possible it s broke and healed over the past 2 wks? How is it put back into place?

Hello, Fracture or dislocation is unlikely because it is very painful. However, you can consult an orthopedic and plan for an X-ray to rule out fracture or displacement. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care

Hi What could be the cause of high ESR levels and high CRP CONCENTRATION with fever and chills ? I am 28 years old female, since last 10 to 13 days fever comes with chills especially in evening time. esr , crp and platelet count is also little high , and knee pain too...can u tell me what is the cause of it? Thanks
|
Hi, Thanks for asking. Based on your query, my opinion is as follows.1. High ESR and CRP levels indicate severe inflammation.2. Need to evaluate for an infection, based on associated symptoms. Blood culture, sputum examination, urine culture should give a probable cause.3. Tuberculosis, malaria, septicemia are common causes. Hope it helps. Any further queries, happy to help again.

I bumped into the edge of a steel closet an developed a nasty bump/ bruise on the left cheek last Thursday. The swelling has mostly gone down but I have a hard lump on the cheek (hematoma?). Does a gentle massage help dissolve it faster or should I leave it alone. What about hot compressed? Thanks for your response.
|
Hi, From history it seems that there might have hematoma now localize at one part producing bump. Apply ice pack 2-3 times a day for few days. Ok and take care.

i have a soft lump at the base of my neck by my collar bone. it doesnt hurt at all and feels like a gel pack. i have it on both sides but its larger on the left side. what could it be? my blodd test and chest x ray is very clear. .. pls advice what other test to be done.
|
Hi.it is best if you consult with a doctor, preferably a general surgeon, for medical and physical examination. Two things to consider primarily based from your description: 1. A possible cervical lymphadenopathy (inflamed lymph node) probably secondary to a recent upper respiratory tract infection 2. A possible lesion in your salivary gland. Other considerations may be fibrous, lipoma or cyst. Clinical examination from your doctor will be of great help. Further diagnostic examination such as neck ultrasound, ct-scan or x-ray and subsequent management (medical and/or surgical if indications are found) will be directed accordingly. Hope this helps. Good day!!~ Chat Doctor.

I have been having pain in the back of my head by my neck and goes all down to the middle of my back. Also my neck is stiff, my head is heavy. I have experienced dizziness, memory loss and pains and numbness in my arms. I have trouble sleeping and have muscle weekness. I also about a month ago had only what I can discribe as a prism effect in my left eye. It only lasted an hour or so but was slightly disturbing. Please tell me what to do.
|
Hello, As what I feel with your symptoms is you need to Meetup a neurologist and maybe an MRI will be recommended. As due to certain lesions in the brains over a period of time when aging takes places and the white matter & gray matter in the Brain may have got affected. An MRI should be a good solution. Also, the tingling and numbness in the arms can be due to some nerve entrapment within the cervical spine. You need to get it checked by a professional before we confirm it. With a good diagnosis along with medication and exercise, you should do well. You may even have to make some lifestyle changes if needed. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Jay In Chat Doctor.

Dear Doc,More than 6 months ago I got treated for scabies. all the rashes and marks on my body were gone except for those on my scrotum.a month after treatment, itching and the bumps on the sac reappearred. now from couple of days ago I have identified another bump with black dot in the centre. when touched or pressed I can feel the pain and it is on the penis.Kindly help me understand why I am facing this kind of problems near my sex organ when I never indulged in sexual activities till date.Also suggest me my immediate course of action.Thanks a lot.
|
Hi, Scabies is notorious disease and sometimes remains for long time. Apply anti scabies lotion after forceful cleaning the part so that eruptions on penis get opened and lotion may enter the site properly. Scabies germs remain under eruption, so opening of eruptions is a must. Keep local hygiene clean and proper. Go for the treatment of other family members as well to prevent recurrence. Ok and take care.

I am taking oleanze 5mg for talking alone and not getting sleep. I do not have any other symptoms of schizophrenia. Can I take halipidol 5mg instead I am taking oleanze 5mg for talking alone and not getting sleep. I do not have any other schizophrenia symptoms such as getting angry and suspecting. Can I take halipidol mg instead.
|
Talking alone is a negative symptom of schizophrenia. Olanzepine is the Chat Doctor. It is also better tolerated. As you do not have excessive acute symptoms as you said like getting angry etc., haloperidol is unnecessary.

Hi....my 8 month old daughter had a temperature of 39.1C a couple of days ago. We took her to our doctors..their diagnosis was a virus. Her temperature has now gone but she has red spots/rash all over her body. If she has slept for a while on one side of her face the rash is pronounced. I am not sure wheteher the rash is part of the virus or an allergic reaction to paracetamol. Any suggestion please?

Hello. Welcome to Chat Doctor. Sometimes if a baby has a fever after this is gone baby may manifest rashes all over the body. But this is not something you should worry. It will pass after some days and you don't have to apply anything. If the rash persists for more days than go and visit a doctor.

Hi im a 34 year old male. I am 5 8 at 312 lbs. I dont have an active job and dont exercise. I recently got a mens exam and got some alarming news. My cholesterol is 160. Low hdl and high ldl . My eating habits are horrible to say the least. Everything came back fine on my blood work except the cholesterol and my liver enzimes. My ast was 44 and my alt is 95. I was a super heavy smoker for about 2 years but quit about 3 weeks before my check up. I was told it could be fatty liver but I read it could be cancer. I lose sleep every night and worry myself sick. Im scared its liver cancer. Im scheduled for a liver ultrasound tomorrow. My question is do you think it will be liver cancer and are ultrasounds accurate or could they miss something. Thank you for your time and expertise.
|
Hi, high cholesterol is not a risk factor for liver cancer. Many liver lesions or body changes could cause an increase in the levels of AST and ALT. A cause is usually sought to know exactly what causes this increase. Its worthwhile doing tests to for viral hepatitis, especially Hepatitis B and C which normally should be excluded in such cases. The increase in the liver enzyme levels in your case is not that alarming, and confronting these results with other results are required for any appropriate interpretation and adequate concluding clinical judgements could be made. A liver ultrasound shall give an idea about the structure of the liver and any possible nodules, cysts or collections. It orients the clinical to make a suspicion. Definitive diagnosis of liver cancer is usually based only on histologic/biopsy studies. However, specific blood markers could also help. I believe you should be patient for the results of the liver ultrasound. However, main risk factors for liver cancer are excessive intake of alcohol, liver hepatitis viruses (B and C), Chat Doctor. Excessive smoking is instead a major risk factor in lung, esophageal and to a smaller extent, gastric cancer. Meeting a gastroenterologist AFER your ultrasound in case you are still very worried is a reasonable option.

Hi and welcome to Chat Doctor. Thank you for the query. It seems like your doctor consider that there is a need for adjuvant radiotherapy and this is usually done when there is spread tumor or suspicious of it or as a prevention in highly invasive tumors. So I suggest going through this and not to worry because you need to do everything to prevent tumor recurrence. Wish you good health. Regards

Hi, I have recently moved back to Hawaii after 10 years of being back on the east coast and am glad to be here again. I will try to make it short. I have been treated for anxiety, panic disorders for the past 10 yrs on the east coast and the zanex that was subscribed helped me to get a good nights sleep and occasionally deal with day anxiety attacks. Doctors here are so reluctant to prescribe anythingthat I thought I would talk to you. I am in the midst of cancer, hip replacement , 2nd one and moving all in one . Much more but it s too much.... Let me know if yo can help... Thanks Mae plus I am 65 this year. Mahalo

Hi Good Morningstar anxiety symptoms may be part of your physical symptoms, may be due to thought about your physical illness. It also is due to part of your panic disorder for which you have taken treatment. It may be due to limited social interaction, as a part of learned behavior in panic disorder or any anxiety disorder. My opinion is better you consult any nearby psychiatrist and after detail history & mental status examination he will guide you medicine and psychotherapy or relaxation techniques which found useful for you. Chat Doctor.

I think I have Polyneuropathy. ON Insulin pump and am insulin dependent... I take Gabapentin once a day at 6:00 pm. For a month or so I ve had a trigger ring finger that works its way out in 10 minutes in the morning. Now the ring finger and the pinky are both numb and hasn t gone away.
|
Hi, Trigger finger and numbness in the ring and little fingers are both different issues. Trigger finger is common in diabetic patients and ring finger is most commonly involved. Numbness in both ring and little fingers is due to ulnar nerve pathology. It may be peripheral neuropathy affecting ulnar nerve and is also common in long-term diabetes. Trigger finger is a clinical diagnosis and treatment is physiotherapy and local injection of Depose Chat Doctor. Nerve conduction velocity studies should be done to diagnose peripheral neuropathy. Visit a physician and a detailed clinical examination is recommended for diagnosis and treatment. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

my mother 65 year old diagnosed as she is having glioblastoma multiforman (grade 4 astrocytoma) -multiple lesion (6-7 lesion) within frontal and parietal lobe 9 months back. at present she cannot speak or hear, hemiplegia in right limbs and very cachexic - what is her prognosis?
|
Hello, Unfortunately, there is not too much to be done in her clinical situation. Radiotherapy and chemotherapy can be tried, but they do not make miracles. For this reason, I recommend consulting with a neuro-oncology and taking care of her. She needs you more than ever, as she may have only some months left. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

I have been having back pain for the past couple of days. It hurts most when I try to stand up from a seated position. Once I stand, the pain gradually goes away as I start waling. I only feel the pain again when I step (walk). If I stand without moving the pain goes away. I don t feel that much when pain I remain seated also.
|
Hi, In my opinion that sort of neuropathic pain is common with sciatica whicChatDoctormonly happens due to neurovascular bundle compression. From your history I don't think you should be worried yet but early diagnosis and treatment is very suggestive in such cases. I recommend some topical gels, physiotherapy and muscle relaxants and even massages are very effective and try to avoid sitting on hard objects for a long time and avoid compression on your muscle to prevent that kind of compression. Please consider some positive feedback if the information was helpful. Hope the above information helps you. Any further clarifications feel free to ask.

i have back pain now,6 months after delivery.pain is not at the lower back but towards middle where the spinal anesthasia was taken.can anybody give the reason.pain is more when i lift my child.
|
Hello. Spinal anesthesia is given in lower back only and not in the middle. The pain you are having may be due to a spinal cord problem. Get an X-ray spine lateral view done and consult an orthopaedician for your problem.

Hi, From history it seems that there might be sticking of Sega under foreskin and leaking due to not cleaning part properly. Avert your foreskin and clean Sega slowly. If there is soreness then apply antibiotic cream for few days. Ok and take care.

Avoid stress, take healthy diet, Chat Doctor. Hope this may help you. Contact further if follow up needed. Best regards,

Last 2006 i had chest x-ray & as far as i remember,finding says i have suspicious infiltrates at theright upper lobe.ive just disregard it cause i just had chest x-ray before & findings were normal.i have delivered twins last 2009 but i never undergo chest x-ray again.i got work last year but i was excempted from taking chest x-ray since i got pregnant w/ my 3rd child.i recently had chest x-ray exam last july 14 & findings show i have ill-defined densities on the right upper lobe. Heart is normal in size. Diaphragm is intact. Bony thorax is unremarkable & IMPRESSION: minimal right upper lobe PTB. i was alarmed since i got 3 kids & im breastfeeding my 2month-old-baby.is my condition worse or am i possible for contagious disease?please help.

Hello It to too early to conclude tuberculosis. You may need lordosis view of chest X-ray. This special view for apical regions helps in better assessment because apical area is covered by ribs, clavicle etc. Infiltrates may be due to pneumonitis, tuberculosis etc. Empirically this condition need broad spectrum antibiotics. If findings persists then you may need further work-up for tuberculosis. You need immediate evaluation as it may be contagious. Get well soon. Take Care Chat Doctor.

hi there my 30 months old boy was born before time and was diagnosed with tonsillitis at 9 months and i started noticing lumps in his neck when he was about 14 months then after taking antibiotic they became small now he got flu i noticed they are bigger then normal
|
Hi...seems like your child has got recurrent tonsillitis. It might even be a viral sore throat or a streptococcal infection. I suggest you see your pediatrician and get a rapid streptococcal antigen test done. If it is positive then the kid will require antibiotics. If it is negative then it might be viral illness and doesn't require antibiotics at all. Cough and cold are viral 95% of the times in child Chat Doctor. For cold, you can use anti-allergics like cetirizine and for nose block, saline nasal decongestants will do. Paracetamol can be given in the dose of 15 mg/kg/dose (max ceiling dose 500 mg) every 4-6th hourly, that too only if fever is more than 100F. I suggest not using combination medicines for fever, especially with Paracetamol. Warm saline gargles will be soothing and will give a lot of relief if the kid can do that. Regards -

Hi, I had a lumber Puncture done a week ago, I could not walk for a whole week due to pain in my lower back and a headache that wouldnt even let me think. I was discharged from the hospital today because I was able to stand, my question is how long will it be till I can walk with out any help? I am 15 and suffer from EBV too.
|
Hi, It sounds as if you have a post-spinal puncture headache. This is usually a very severe headache made worse with the upright position. There are medications which can help in this condition like Caffeine. Further, Chat Doctor. If you are unable to walk after the headaches settle (usually takes a few days), it would be advisable to contact your doctor ASAP. Hope this helps?

Hi. Recently I went to a concert with some friends. About alittle more than half way through I started to feel SUPER tired, and kind of nauseous. Then as I was standing in the crowd listening to music, my vision started to slowly go, and then I completely blacked out. Now this has happened once before, what does it mean?
|
Hello. I have been through your question and understand your concern. I think you experienced decreased blood pressure, which is quite common in overcrowded places. I think you should measure several times you blood pressure and if it tends to be low, you can increase your fluids' uptake. Hope this helps. Please feel free using MHC again

Hi Doc. Help. I have beeen having these burning /heavy strange pains across my chest, which seems to go down on the inside of my arms as far as my elbows, happens when i walk fast,/rush , do pressure jobs etc, i have been taking urbanol now for the last week, but still persists , I have bee to a Dr & says its anxiety/stress, but this is worrying to me, possibly i should get a second opinions?
|
Hello! Welcome and thank you for asking on Chat Doctor! I passed carefully through your question and understand your concern. It is important making a careful differential diagnosis of your symptoms: - a backbone disorder, leading to irradiating pain in the arms, related to a slipped disc could mimic this symptomatology. -an ischemic heart disease, could explain the pain while exercising, but not the irradiating pain in both arms. -gastroesophageal reflux, could be related to heartburn during physical activity. I recommend consulting with your attending physician for a careful physical examination and some tests: -resting ECG -chest X-ray study-cervico-thoracic column X-ray study-lab blood tests (complete blood count, PCR, sedimentation rate, amylase plasma levels, kidney and liver function tests). A cardiac stress test may be needed to exclude a cardiac ischemic disease if suspicions are raised. A fibrogastroscopy may be needed if all the above tests result normal, to exclude possible reflux. Hope to have been helpful! Greetings!

HAI, As the quoted semen report seems to be normal. As the count and volume is within the normal limit. And the rapidly progressive should be 50% or more than 50% ideally should be there in normal semen analysis. But 30 % rapid progressive is fair enough for a fertility concern. Morphology classification also normal. Thank you hope I answered your query

Yes i have had 2 light TIA s in the past and been going through a lot i was in the store one day 2 weeks ago and copped a headache vision went blurry and some numbness went to the ER bllood pressure was real high but tests showed ne signs of heart attack or stroke what could that have been?
|
Hello! Welcome on Chat Doctor ! Your symptoms could be related to a new TIA. For this reason, I would recommend performing further tests to investigate for the possible causes, underlying the repeated TIA: - a Doppler ultrasound of the carotid arteries- a brain MRI - a cardiac ultrasound-blood lipid profile for dyslipidemia- fasting glucose and HbA1C levels for diabetes- a cardiac rhythm Holder monitoring to investigate for cardiac arrhythmia. A blood thinner may be needed for the prevention of stroke, considering your repeated TIA. You should discuss with your doctor on the above tests. Best wishes,
