I was diagnosed with H pylori and have the precpac, but wbc are elevated and the ER Dr., called me back after a visit in the ER and said I showed sign of Lymphocytosis need to follow up with my PCP. I did but he is not doing anything because he insists that the elevation is related to my pylori and my GI Dr says it s not. I am very concerned my wbc is at 14.3 and rising. Should I seek another opinion or just see a blood dr. My cbc s (4) all came back abnormal. My mom just went yesterday to a specialist because she has a high WBC also. Please help getting worse and no one seems to know why.
Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor, White blood cell counts (WBC counts) are raised in infections and leukemia. Leukemias are characterized by very high WBC levels (over 50,000/ cubic mm). However, the WBC count can be lower in case of leukemia. They are called sub-leukemic leukemia. In infections, the WBC count is also increased. An increase in lymphocytes (as in your case) can raise the WBC count. Lymphocytes are increased in chronic infections. H. pylori infection can lead to lymphocytes since it is a chronic infection. Treatment of H. pylori infection will clear away the lymphocytes and raised WBC count. Get the differential white blood cell count (DLC) in your mothers case. The DLC helps to determine the cause of infection. Thanks and take care Chat Doctor.

Hi For about a week my right testicle feels like it is pulling towards my leg, the sourness shifts from right to left and goes away. I did not feel a bump on the testicle and the pain is min, feels at times like it is tugging toward the right leg. I work out but never experienced this type of feeling. Not sure if I have a groin pull or not. Planning to stop into my doctors this week.
Thanks for asking in Chat Doctor forum This type of pain can be due to. Muscle pull in the groin. Initial stages of hernia. Blunt injury without notice to genitals etc. So, it is better that you visit a doctor for examination. All the best.

my husband had a vasectomy about 8 months ago and I have the Mirena IUD for about 8 months as well. My last cycle that I have was a lot heavier than it s normally been and had a lot of cramping with it. It s been about two weeks since then and now I m feeling sick all the time after I eat and discomfort like I m cramping and back is constantly hurting. How likely is it that I could be pregnant?
Hello madam, from the history you have given, well IRENA does cause certain side effects like irregular bleeding. I would suggest you to consult your gynecologist, as you may require an examination to make sure IRENA is in its position, as heavy bleeding may decrease your hemoglobin value and further decorate your health. Hope I was helpful to you.

Twenty-seven patients with posterior urethral valves with varying degrees of renal function underwent both intravenous urography (IVU) and DTPA scan during their follow-up. Although the IVU was successful in excluding obstruction in 31 kidneys, the DTPA scan was successful in 43 kidneys. In addition, the DTPA scan provides quantifiable renal function, exposes the child to a lower radiation dose and has no morbidity compared with an IVU. It is recommended that the DTPA scan should replace the IVU for long-term follow-up and that the latter should be reserved for certain problems.
DTPA scan is definitely providing much more information about the sight of obstruction, differential function of both kidneys. Devoid of any significant radiation, much more convenient for the patient. Cost is the only prohibitive factor

I am an 18 year old male. I have a list of symptoms which are bothering me. Since September, I have beendiagnosed with early stages of Appendicitis, mild Hepatomegaly, Gastritis, andGranular Pharyngitis. Also I have noticed a few other symptoms like: Withe pastethat is located on top of my tongue, which could be thrush, my stool is claycolored, and I currently am having a case of tonsillitis - with no fever. I amafraid this could be an HIV infection, for I was involved in risky behavior afew months ago, and also Im afraid this could be Hep C. What else could thismean?
Hi. Thanks for your query and detailed history. The fear of something serious as you have mentioned the symptoms and the probable fear of having HIV and Hepatitis, the best way is ; Get the blood, urine and IV and Hepatitis status done by relevant blood tests. Throat swab for gram staining, culture and sensitivity. Take a course of proper antibiotics and supportive medicines. See the results. I hope this will give us the best way for a proper diagnosis, investigations and treatment. If the results of the tests are negative you do not have to worry about.

Hi, I have a bump on the front left side of my gums, about half way up. It is a small bump and it has a smaller white head at the top of it. It is a little painful when I eat, and it feels like something is pushing against my gums when food, touches it. And it is sore to the touch. What is this?
Hi. Welcome to Chat Doctor. I read your query. The bump you mentioned on the gums correlate with abscess in your gum and the white point is the point of pus discharge that has formed. Check if corresponding tooth have cavity, which can be even on inner surface of teeth or in between two teeth. Or this could be due to trauma like hitting corresponding teeth or biting something hard from those teeth suddenly. You need to visit a dentist and get an x-ray done for definite diagnosis. It may require RCT of tooth. Do warm saline rinses. Take antibiotics and painkiller prescribed by dentist after check up. Permanent treatment is to get Chat Doctor. Hope the answer helps you. Thank you.

I am having hermorids 3rd stage ( After stool I have to push inside) for which I am taking deflon 500 2 tab per day. since last 4 days, Today it started bleeding while passing stool. Now Dr have told me to take tranostat for 3 days. Is this treatment right.
Hi, thanks for posting your concern in the Chat Doctor. You were prescribed tranexamic acid (Transit) correctly for your acute bleeding. Also, you have been prescribed Teflon which is a Genotropin medicine, used for chronic venous insufficiency. I also think you should talk to your doctor regarding the possibility of any surgical intervention. Furthermore, I think you should have high fiber diet and Spatula husk (2 SF in cup of water after dinner) to avoid constipation. Hope you are satisfied with my answer. If you have any further query related to this, please write back. In case you have any new query in the future, you can directly ask me questions @ http://www.ChatDoctor .com/doctors/ Chat Doctor. I will try my level best to help you.

I am just curious.. I was watching tv when I randomly decided to look at my tongue haha.. I looked at the underside and I have 2 very visible vein streaks on both sides of my tongue.. They are dark purple. I heard that a healthy tongue is when you can barely see the veins underneath or not at all but mine are very apparent. Every other part of my tongue is healthy though I believe.. Can you tell me why my tongues veins are so visible?
Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query. The visible veins under your tongue is nothing but a varicose veins. These are the dilated veins and are not harmful. Nothing to be panic, if there is any increase in size and if there is any bleeding, then consult an oral physician and get it evaluated. Otherthan that no treatment is required as such. I hope my answer will help you, take care.

MY PROBLEM IS THAT ACNE,OILY SCLAP AND FACE,ABDOMINAL PAIN NEAR DATE OF MY MONTHLY CYCLE.BUT NOT CONCEIVE AFTER 1YR MARRIAGE.I HAD VDRL,THYROID,LHS,FHS,LH TVS ETC. ALL TYPE OF TEST BEFORE CONCEIVING.BUT ALL ARE NORMAL AND PCOS IS MILD, TVS TEST SOME LIQUID IS UNDER OVARY THATS IT NOTHING ELSE.I CANT UNDERSTAND WHAT IS THE REASON BEHIND INFERTILITY .
Hello, your Acne, abdominal pain near your menstruation could be symptoms of PCs. Fluids under ovary depends on the time of TVS done. If you had done the scan around your ovulation time, the fluid represents rupture of your follicle(egg), so there is nothing to worry. In case if the fluid persists throughout your cycle then I would suggest a complete check-up of your blood and hormones. But since you have been married for a year and with mild PCs, keep your monthly calendar on check, marking your ovulation (since PCs patient even mild, tend to ovulate at different times) and your post-ovulation till your menstruation time should be around 15-18 days. If its short or longer that could hamper your chances of pregnancy. All together start with a complete hormone check and your partners' sperm morphology, motility and count check.

I have allergic asthma. Once I was prescribed to take montair fx along witChatDoctorbihale and asthalin for 30 days. I was suggested to use asthalin liberally. After the course, my wheezing was down till a month or so. But gradually over the time the condition is that, i have it everyday. One day I took montair fx and it reduced for two days. I have been taking it since then. Now, wheezing doesn t reduce with the intake of inhalers. It reduces only with montair fx. What are the side effects of prolonged use of montair fx ? Any other remedy to cure/reduce my asthma attacks ?
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Asthma is allergic disease. It needs regular treatment in the form of anti-allergic Chat Doctor. Best way to control allergy is identification of allergen and if possible complete avoidance of it. So avoid dust, pollen, mites, animal fur, smoke etc. Wear face mask every time you go outside home. Montage FX is having montelukast and fexofenadine. Montelukast is anti-allergic

My grandfather is taking dutas t for BPH. He was taking CCB for BP.but he has vertigo for last 3 days.BP was checked and it was 100/60.BP medicine was discounted.he has been prescribed vertizac tablet for 1 month twice daily before food.but myself as a medico told him to take it for 15 days.give suggestions.
Hello, Vertical is for symptomatic relief of vertigo, so as soon as the symptoms resolve your father can surely atop the Chat Doctor. Two weeks shower more than enough, rather if it is persistent post 2 weeks, again a review visit to the diagnosis should be done to make sure we are not missing anything. Also, the cause of giddiness might be the blood pressure and so stopping (though I would prefer gradual down titration) of the meds, should be enough. Lastly do keep a follow-up of his blood pressure reading. Hoping I could help For further assistance you may contact me on Chat Doctor. @ Http://doctor. ChatDoctor .com/doctors/

Lastly do keep a follow-up of his blood pressure reading. Hoping I could help For further assistance you may contact me on Chat Doctor. @ Http://doctor. ChatDoctor .com/doctors/
I have 2 Tarlov cysts on spine and 2 herniated disc done Mir therapy reg injections I have never experience pain like this in my life 4 children no deme role age 54 please suggest should do go for epidural or surgery. Doctors aren t familiar with this.
Hi, Taylor cysts should not worry you since they are not treated and not the cause of your pain. Herniated disks, however, are the source of your pain. If you have not been tried on conservative measures such as physical or aqua therapy as well as standard medications for the pain then, I highly advise you do this before considering surgery. Have you tried traction, hot/cold therapy, acupuncture, or other forms of complementary medicine? If, however, there is a loss of power or loss of mass in the muscles of the leg affected then, surgery may very well have to be done, but I would say not until more serious complications have occurred. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

I first noticed it about a week ago as it was smaller and un painful. However, today when I was wiping it began to hurt and has continued to feel tender and a little but painful and it has gotten bigger than when I first noticed it.

My daughter has a very small round lump in the inner part of her elbow. She says it feels bruised in that area. No sign of bruising on the skin though. Its on the same place where she donated blood beginning of last year. What could this be? Regards Tessa
Hello! Thank you for the query. Yes, skin irritation with needle can cause a lump. Usually it is a fibrous, benign, painless lump which slowly grows. It does not turn into cancer. The best way to find out exactly what she is dealing with, is to remove if and send to histopathology. Please consult a surgeon. Hope this will help. Regards.

When I pee it purns, when I push on my penis like just below my tip it itches in the inside all the way down inside my bladder where my penis continues... Like I can grind my fingers together and it feel good to grind it together to itch its been doing this for about 2 weeks
HiT hank you for asking ChatDoctorI have gone through your query. Your problem is most likely a urinary tract infection with urethritis. You can rule out the infection by doing a routine urinalysis. For urinary infection I treat my patients with antibiotics and urine alkalinizing agents like sodium citrate. You can take cranberry juice or barley water to alkalinize urine also. Hope this may help you. Let me know if you have any further query.

Hi Dr. Rynne, Good day. I am female, 23 years of age.Last 2009 I found out I have breast cyst but I did not consult a doctor (no enough money). I just treat it with a herbal plant which is mayana leaf because there was someone told me so. Does that plant can heal my cyst? Or should I take MX3 because I saw on tv it can cure cyst. Hope you can response on my concern. Because until this time I still have a cyst. Thank you & God Bless, Windy
Hi.noted history of breast cysts. It is best if you consult with a doctor, preferably a general surgeon, for physical examination and clinical evaluation. Breast cysts should be monitored regularly. Some of these lesions, grow, spontaneously resolved, and some are just there. Do you have a history of breast cancer or concerns in your family? Breast ultrasound will be requested as an additional tool for evaluation. Depending on the findings, if a tissue diagnosis will be recommended or just a regular follow-up/monitoring will do. Occasional breast pain/tenderness/discomfort, resolving spontaneously, is usually associated with these breast cysts especially during hormonal changes (such as before and during menstruation). Hope this helps. Good day!!~ Chat Doctor.

We found calcium buildup in my aorta and branches. No symptoms. Female in early 70s Blood pressure controlled (120/70) exercise 5 days/week. LDL 99, HDL 69, Triglyceride 88. Can t take statiin. Terrible cramps. Not diabetic, non-smoker. Stress level totally lowered (retired). Don t want to take medication. Advice, pls.
Hi, there is no specific treatment to control calcifications in the aorta. What you can do is the strict control of blood pressure, serum levels of LDL cholesterol (below 70), paganism cessation, strict glycemic control and maintain a healthy lifestyle. The USO of medicines like statins could help with the cholesterol control. Your LDL cholesterol level is close to the therapeutic target of 70 and as you already do all non-pharmacological measures for the control of cholesterol, I believe that to achieve reach this goal you need the help of statins. I suggest you look for a cardiologist for further research. Hope I have answered your question. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help you. Wish you good health.

Hi doctor i am haemophilia patient age 20 currently i ve been having this wierd sense of my heart beat like i can feel my veins beating to that heart beat my heart beat is normal but its more like its loud or beating heavily recently ive been having this worries about my visa medical exam i wonder if this is anxiety but I have one question is it common for a haemophilia to get Heart attacks specially my age
Hello! Welcome and thank you for asking on Chat Doctor! I read your question carefully and understand your concern. Regarding your concern, I would explain that hemophilia is not relate to heart attacks (which are thrombotic events) but to repeated episodes of hemorrhage. This disorder affects coagulation factors, resulting in an imbalance of coagulation, leading to spontaneous hemorrhages in all the parts for the body. Some studies have suggested that hemophilia is a protecting factor against coronary artery disease, but many studies have concluded that hemophilia patients have the same cardio vascular risk as other healthy persons. So there is nothing to worry about a heart attack at your age. Your symptoms may be related to anxiety. But I recommend consulting with the GP for a careful physical examination, to exclude other possible complications of hemophilia (internal hemorrhage or brain hemorrhage). Further tests may need to be performed if suspicions are raised. Hope to have been of help! Best wishes,

I am 40 years old. My friends complains that i am biting my teeth during sleep. I dont know what i am doing? But next day tooth pain is there. By 2 teeth are badly damaged and i have to go for root canalsurgery.Please advise how to over come this problem.
Hello, Biting or grinding of teeth during nighttime is called Bruise. A night guard, or night guard, is an appliance much like a retainer that people put in their mouths to protect their teeth while they are sleeping. This device is commonly used by people who suffer from bruise, or excessive nighttime tooth grinding or clenching. This grinding and clenching puts pressure on the jaw, which can cause temporomandibular joint (TMJ) problems, severe headaches, ear pain, and neck pain as well as causing excessive wear to the teeth. Visit an oral surgeon or prosthodontist for this. Take care

I had a hair removal wax treatment for the first time yesterday and have had an allergic reaction. The reaction has only occured in areas where a post treatment oil was applied. Affected areas are itchy and some small red lumps have appeared. I am using calomine lotion as a topical treatment. Will pseodoephedrine help? It is the only antihistamine I have at hand.
Hi, Thanks for writing your query. You should wash the affected area thoroughly. Pseudocode Chat Doctor. You should take antihistamines medicine like Fenofexadine or Cetirizine for relief. Application of Calamine lotion will help in decreasing the itching sensation, but local application of steroid cream will be more beneficial. You should get yourself examined clinically at the Emergency Department and take the appropriate medicine. Donor apply the post-wax treatment oil in the future, as your skin is sensitive to it. I hope this is helpful to you. Thanks.

Hi. We just got our yearly family blood results back yesterday and my 16 year old sons sGPT level is 52 and his sGOT level is 77. He is not overweight, works out every day doesnt smoke or drink either. My sGOT is normal but my sGPT is 43. My husbands sGPT is 58 and sGOT is 39. All our urine analysis are clear. The laboratory director who spoke to my husband thinks that maybe it is something we have all eaten and it has affected my son more. He wants to repeat the blood test in 3 months. I would be grateful for your thoughts on this.
Hi and welcome to Chat Doctor. Thank you for the query. This is slight elevation in LFT and it shouldn't work you. It can be found in acute liver damage but many other causes too. Also, it could be temporary gallbladder stone which passed and caused bile duct obstruction. He should repeat blood tests in several weeks and if this persists he ends to do liver ultrasound ad check viral markers. Wish you good health. Regards

Hi Doctor Samuel I had pain under my left rib cage on Monday lunchtime. Went to hospital and had blood, urine and ECG checked and was clear. Doctor then gave me laxative for constipation and after 2 dosage I had severe runs for a few hours. Runs had stopped but now when I drink or eat it hurts and feels like the food is stuck inside mid abdomen. Also when I walk my left side hurts. Please let me know what s wrong. Jan
HIT hank for asking to ChatDoctorIt is nothing to worry at all, hyper peristalsis wave causing such symptoms, while we eat a kind of wave appears in GI system that helps the food to propagate ahead when this wave becomes more active than it gives such kind of pain as you are feeling, you have to eat slow, eat little less in quantity, the purgative or laxative will aggravate the condition, :Dicyclomine" is Chat Doctor.

I think I have orthostatic hypotension but I am not sure. When I stand up I get the normal dizziness but my vision also fades to black for a few seconds. Sometimes I get tunnel vision. I am a runner so I thought it could be having a runner s pulse, but no one on my team experiences vision loss or as much dizziness. I am not dehidrated either. Is there anything I can do to stop this? Or do I need to see a doctor?
Hello, I passed carefully through your question and would explain that your symptoms could be related to orthostatic hypotension. For this reason, I would recommend consulting with your attending physician for a physical exam and performing a Head-Up Tilt test in order to investigate for this possible disorder. Some blood lab tests are necessary too: complete blood count for anemia, thyroid hormone levels for thyroid gland dysfunction, blood electrolytes for possible imbalance. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Hi, Recently I ve been having lower left abdominal pain. My pain ranges from sharp, dull, and cramping sort of pain. The other day I d noticed some type of white substance in my stool before flushing. Visit the emergency room yesterday, to only tell me, I might had an STD. Okay how can they be so sure, when I was told to come back in four days for my results. Can you give me some other reasons what may be going on with me? Unless they are right. I hope not, because that means my partner of 8 years is sleeping around unprotected. Thank you, A concerned one
Hi! Good morning. I am Chat Doctor answering your query. The symptoms of abdominal pain and passage of white substance in your stool points more to an intestinal infection than an STD. I would advise you to go for a stool test for ova and cyst and get it treated if positive which would relieve you of your symptoms. Chances of having an STD with this kind of symptom would be remote, and if in doubt get yourself investigated as advised by your treating doctor. 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.

Hello Dr. Grief, I was in a car accident last Friday. I was stopped and rear ended by a car going ~20mph (not really sure because they were braking).

hello. i have a problem of hard to breath because of air in my stomach. I have to wonder is t cause by gastric? because lately i keep farting and quite every day releasing a gas in my body. Now, it s hard for me to breath because every time in going to take deep inhalation via my mouth its keep pressing my upper stomach and cause me a lot to yawning.
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. In my opinion you are having HERD (Castro Esophageal Reflux Disease). It is due to laxity of gastroesophageal sphincter. Because of this the acid of the stomach tends to come up in the esophagus and cause the symptoms. Gaseous feeling and bloating are characteristics of HERD. Try to follow these steps for better symptomatic relief. 1. Avoid hot and spicy food. 2. Avoid large meals, instead take frequent small meals. 3. Avoid stress and anxiety. 4. Start proton pump inhibitor. 5. Go for walk after meals. 6. Keep 2 - 3 pillows under head in the bed. 7. Avoid habits like smoking and alcohol if you have. 8. Lose weight if you are obese.

Hi, I jus have a question I ve been off depo since August an I ve been having this brown discharge for about two months me an my partner had sex on nov.5 while I still had the brown discharge but then I started bleeding on the 19th so I thought it was my period but then it started to get light an it only lasted for 2 days an when I m on my period it last for 7 days so then I started looking up implantation bleeding on pregnancy an it said that it only last for 2 days an its a pinkish color when you wipe so when I wipe I get a pinkish color or nothing but I took 3 pregnancy test an they were negative so I was wondering if u can help
HI. The symptoms you are presenting with could also appear due to a hormonal imbalance that can occur after getting off the demo shot. This can occur in women until 6 months after getting off the shot, and can present with symptoms like inter-menstrual bleeding, spotting, weight gain, menstrual irregularities, etc. Although pregnancy should be adequately ruled out, especially if you are experiencing a delay in your period, visit a doctor for an ultrasound by the 6th week from your LMP, and confirm/rule out pregnancy. Best wishes.

Hi doc, My daughter now 7 years has had itch in her clitoris since she was two. I ve taken her to see different gp and after several tests on her , they conclude that she is reacting to the bath soap.i ve since changed her soap but I still wash her pants with soap. Most times she complain of this itch but there seem to be no rashes there. I really would like to know how to help her get over this allergy . Thanks.
Hi, Apart from allergy to soap or other cleaning agent there might be having possibility of having worm infestation giving this problem. If worms are there they migrate in front of vaginal part giving this itching. So one course of anti-worm medicine like Albendazole will be much helpful. Keep her local part clean and hygienic. Ok and take care.

I have lost part of my memory, a gap of a few years but not completely gone. I also find it difficult to learn new information even though it is presented several times. I have been under stress for 2-3 years. I also took Chantix 5 years ago to quit smoking. My Mom says I was right when I was taking it. Is this most likely stress or could it be related to the Chantix?
Hello, The reason for your memory loss relates to stress. When you will be stress-free you will be more confident and these memory problems will not be there. Chant ix doesn't cause such a problem. Five years before you took this course and it's all flushed from your system now. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

my MRI results are in and I have a bulging disc mid spine. Is there home remedy for it such as ice and ibuprofen to alleviate this pain I have had for 3 years or do I need to make an appointment with surgeon? I already have a lumbar plate and cervical plate from previous surgeries from degenerative disc disease. This disc is mid back. I lay down frequently on ice and have tried to rest but everything is temporary.
Hello, Thank you for using Chat Doctor. I read your question and understood your concern. I think you can do exercises to strengthen your core muscles, such as back and abdominal muscle. In this way you will prevent progressing of disc bulging into a disc protrusion or hernia SND the pain may decrease. Wish you quick recovery.

In this way you will prevent progressing of disc bulging into a disc protrusion or hernia SND the pain may decrease. Wish you quick recovery.
I am getting a strange sensation just near the bottom of my ribcage on the right hand side when I breathe in. It only occurs when Im in certain positions and happens most frequently (every time I breathe) when I am lying on my right hand side. The sensation is difficult to describe, it is almost as if something inside is stretching slightly or pushing against something. It is not painful but definitely something I have never felt before.

I am a 64 yrs old woman, weighing 40kg and height 5 2 taking medication for hypertension since 1992. I have been an allergic asthma patient since 1994 and have been on inhalers like asthalin and Aerocort. After a pneumonia attack in 2005, I was put on Forocort inhaler (1 puff) 1-1-1 and Duova inhaler (1 puff) 0-0-1. Recently in Dec 2010, I was hospitalized after a severe lung infection and asthma attack and was treated for wheezing, fever and breathlessness with steroids and antibiotics for 3 weeks. I experienced a lot of side effects like mouth sores, loss of appetite, insomnia, tremors, depression, fear and anxiety resulting in weight loss and weakness. Presently, my asthma is quite manageable except for severe weakness, insomnia, bloating and fullness with my blood potassium lowering to 3.1. I was prescribed with Glycomet for induced blood sugar, Losar for BP, Forocort inhaler 1-0-1 inhaler, Slow potassium tablets 1-1-1, Multivitamin, Calcium and Albuterol inhaler ( 2 puffs once in the late afternoon mostly). My general health has not improved remarkably primarily due to sleeplessness, bloating and constant fullness. So, I have now been given Glipiside for Blood sugar, Kimpride (1-1-1) ,Potklor syrup (2tsp-0-2tsp), Montasma plus, Dell 400 and Asthalin (as needed or emergency). I have now tried to take walks for 15 min in the past 2 days inspite of feeling very weak in my legs and feet, fatigue and tired. I am also taking Potassium rich foods. Please provide me with your kind suggestions since I am feeling sick of taking medications and not improved on my health.
Respected user, hi I evaluated your query thoroughly.* Enough has been given in forms of medications till now.* In my opinion now you require a holistic approach for handling your symptoms rather than additional Chat Doctor.

Im 15 and I dance. So, for a while now after sleeping I wake up to have these lower back pains. And then more recently, I ve been having tinglingness and numbness in my upper right thigh. Then one day at school these pains happened all of a sudden and they hurt when I was walking out of class. I really would like help in diagnosing the problem with my thigh. Can you help?
It could be strained on back due to twists and turns around spine. Do hot fomentation and take rest in bed for 3 days. Apply muscle relaxant gels after fomentation. It will be okay soon

Dear Friend. Hi, I am Chat Doctor, I have read your query in detail, I understand your concern. I feel you have diagnosed yourself about weak liver. If you really feel so, get a Liver Function Test done. The symptoms you are describing can be because of the following problems :1. Acid Peptic Disease2. Castro Esophageal Reflux Disease3. Lactose Intolerance4. Celiac Disease. You should get yourself evaluated. Weakness feeling regarding sex is just Psychogenic. Stop worrying about that.

My 4 year old son has a stye on his upper eye lid and is very swollen and the stye has turned into a black swollen dot. I have been compressing his eye with a warm wash cloth for ten minutes at a time and from doing that the stye turned black. I was wondering if I can do anything else that would help make it better or is it time to see a doctor?
You may try giving him ibuprofen syrup 5-7.5 ml thrice a day to reduce pain. Other than that, I would not recommend any specific therapy.-

my 5 month old s left eye is larger than the right. It has been that way since birth. The difference is at times hard to notice, I even thought the problem had resolved, so I didn t bring it up at is 4 mo check. Also his right ear is larger and a defferent shape than the left. Could these issues have to do with him sleeping on the same side of his head all the time.
Hello, Maybe she feels comfortable sleeping on one side but if vision and hearing are normal of both sides then no need to worry. It is just the congenital defect. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Hello,I am a 41 yr old male and I have a large lump between rectum and groin. It appeared 2 days ago and is now extremely tender and the lump is moving down to my scrotum. I am trying prep h but it is steadily getting worse. I have trouble sitting, bending, etc
Hi. It would most likely be a abscess or collection of pus - infected. I suggest you see a Surgeon soon to get it evacuated and start a course of antibiotics along with anti-inflammatory medicines. The medicines should be continued for at least a week to avoid a recurrence of the infection. So please see a Doctor preferably a Surgeon at the earliest. Take care and feel free to ask any questions you might have. Chat Doctor.

hi, i am a 25 year old female, for the last couple of years I have noticed a lump on the outside of my anus. sometimes it enlarges & goes hard, and I find it uncomfortable to poo, other times it is barely noticeable but still evident outside my anus. At present it is probably the size of a 1p-5p coin and is hard to the touch. The more I go to the loo & wipe it the worse it becomes. I sometimes have to use sudocream. I also experience anal bleeding sometimes too when I have a poo (it doesnt necessarily have to be a strained one). i did go to the doctors over a year ago & got told that it had probably been there all my life & that i just hadnt noticed although I am sure this is not the case. What could it be?
Hi. Thanks for your elucidate history and findings. This is a classical finding of the interno-external piles (hemorrhoids). This degree of piles needs an active treatment. I would advise you to visit a Surgeon who deals with this (proctologist if you have) or Castro surgeon. You can get a proper examination to know the degree of piles and get further investigated and treated. Most probably you need a surgery if you want a permanent cure.

My mother who is 83 had had creatinine in the 0.6 to 0.7 range and urea in the 20s for more than two decades until 6 months back. The latest blood test indicates creatinine at 1.3, urea at nearly 70 and WBC at 18,000. She had a stomach pain for a few days and it has just gone away. She has chronic BP (controlled by meds), she takes a low doses of simvastatin and glipizide for blood sugar (A1C around 7) What could be the reasons in terms of probability?
Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor, The normal level of creatinine ID 0.6 to 1.6 mg/DL and normal range of ures is between 20-40 mg/DL. Thus, creatinine level has increased from 0.7 to 1.3, however, it is within normal range. The level of urea has increased and thus complete renal function tests have to be done to know the status of the kidney functions. The white blood cell (WBC) count is high. High WBC count occurs in case of acute infections especially bacterial infections. Thus, I suggest you to consult your primary healthcare provider for renal functions and to find the focus of infection. Thanks and take care Chat Doctor.

I had CA Ovary last year. It was treated with surgery and 6 cycles of chemotherapy . In my recent pelvis and abdomen scan it was found that i have mild hepatomegaly . report also said that i have fatty liver with focal fat sparring area adjacent to gall bladder fossa. what does this mean and what is the next step. I have been a diabetic since my chemotherapy .
Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor, I am Chat Doctor Fatty liver is the most common incidental finding during ultrasound scan of abdomen. It is a very benign condition. It is unrelated with your previous history of carcinoma ovary. For this, you have to do a liver function test. If all are within normal limit, then you need nothing. But, in case of abnormality in the liver function test, you should consult with a gastroenterologist. You should avoid alcohol and fatty foods.

Yes, thank you..... I have been diagnosed with bronchitus and a sinus infection I also have asthma. I took my full dose of antibiotics , arithimyson and a steriod for 5 days. Still have a pretty bad cough and yellow flim also wheezing. what I am wondering should I get more of the medications to get over this or just give it time
Since you have already completed a course of antibiotics, you require only symptomatic relief. Nebulisation help in brochodilatation, helps you breathe better, and taking Multics will also help relieve cough.

Hello Sir,I am 31 year old man, married with a kid and extremely happy with my sexual life. I am 5 feet 10 Inch tall and 75 kg weighted great bodied man. However adverse to all these traits I have scanty facial hair growth. Even if I do not shave for 2 months, the visibility of my beard is very bleak. I also do not have hairs on my chest or hand. But I have very good growth of hair in pelvic region as well as legs. I do not have any ancestral history of such scanty hair growth. My father and two brothers are extremely hairy. Even my maternal side men are very hairy guys. Like other men I love to keep a moustache or french beard but its not possible for me. I really want a solution to this. Hope to hear from you soon.Vikas Anand YYYY@YYYY
Hello Vikas, Welcome to Chat Doctor. You seem to be having constitutionally less facial hair. As your other secondary sexual features are normal you need not worry about any disease. To make the existing hair thickened you can apply either 5% minoxidil gel or bimatoprost (prostaglandin analogue) solution. Get it prescribed by your dermatologist. Hope this helped. Take care

Im still having the dizzy spells and they are strong enough to cause SOB and nausea. What does this mean?
Hi there ~I understand your concerns and if you have had an anteromedial infarct and have had dizzy spells for over one week then it might be best to go visit your cardiologist for the necessary recommendations.

my one month old daughter is having severe cold. her nose is completely blocked. so she is unable to breathe and drink milk. unfortunately, all medical shops are closed. we have otrivin (adult) at home. can we give that otrivin to her? or is there any quick home remedy?
Hi...do not use Origin Adult. It is not indicated and licensed in this age group. Actually even oral cold medicines are not licensed in this age group of 1 month. Cough and cold are viral 95% of the times in child Chat Doctor. For nasal block, plain saline nasal

Hi. I had sex about 13 days ago. He went in me for about 30 seconds without a condom, but the rest of the time he had a condom on. And he made sure he pulled out way before he came. My period is always usually 23 days apart. now i am 2 days late on my period. and the day i was supposed to get my period i had this light headache. how likely is it that i am pregnant? is it too soon to take a pregnancy test?
Hello dear, I understand your concern. In my opinion the chance of pregnancy according to your explanation is rare. Nothing to worry. Consider doing a urine pregnancy test a week after missed period for accurate results. The symptoms of pregnancy like nausea, vomitings, increased urination start usually 2 weeks after missed period i.e. around 6 weeks. The headache might not suggest pregnancy. So relax. Stress regarding the thought of pregnancy also delays the period. So wait and check for the period. Best regards...

my 17 year old son was complaining last night of pain in his lower left abdomen. No fever. he woke up with the pain gone, but with a bad headache. Now he complains of dizziness. I gave him biogesic ( paracetamol) this morning. do I bring him to the ER?
Hi. Thanks for your query. With the history of pain in lower left abdomen which has gone in the morning on waking up and now has bad headache and dizziness, I would advise you to take your son of 17 to ER for Physical examination and investigations if needed and prescription based treatment. When the facility is available it should be availed as only a Doctor can see the proper diagnosis and probable future course of the problem your son is facing. If the as nothing serious the Doctor will certainly reassure you and the son and this makes life easy...

I think I may be experiencing bells palsy. I had pneumonia a few weeks ago, since then have been treated, however, I ve experienced a death in my immediate family, thinking I was under much stress, I started feeling an abscess grow in my mouth, I went to the dentist and he could not find anything. My right side of my face swelled and as of today I m still feeling like I m growing an abscess. What do you think I should do at this point?
Hello, As you got it checked by the dentist I also don't think its abscess formation. Because if it was such things and symptoms would have been different. Also, bells palsy doesn't seem to produce selling but pain and weakness more. I will advise you to have a check with the ENT once to rule out your abscess doubt. Also, doing simple gargling exercise of the muscles of the mastication and monitoring your diet should help reduce the symptoms. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Jay In Chat Doctor.

I have had a fbc blood test which highlighted Erythrocyte sedimentation rate 15mm/h when the normal rangeis 1.00 - 7.00 mm/h; serum ALT level of 59 iu/L normal level Please let me know if something is seriously wrong with me and what, if anything, I can change to improve these results. Also I have had a stiff neck for over 3 weeks but tests for infection came back negative.
Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. Your ESR is slightly higher than normal. Your alt is almost normal. No need to worry. Just avoid alcohol and high fat diet.

My head feels slightly heavy as well. No coughing, no flu or whatever.im having my final exams anyway. can this be related to exam stress or something else? quite worry.thanks.
Hi, Thanks for writing your query. After reading your post, it seems that you are having your symptoms seems to be due to excessive straining of neck muscles while studying. This can be due to wrong posture while studying. Following precautions will be helpful :-1. You should not bend your neck too much while reading.2. Have adequate light in your room while reading.3. Give rest in between to your body when sitting for long durations.4. Doing yoga and meditation in fresh air in the morning will help to get relief from examination stress.5. Take care of diet and water intake. I hope this is helpful to you. Thanks.

Last night I had just laid down to go to sleep when I felt something pop in my head. It was so severe that I actually heard it as well as felt it. I laid there waiting for something serious to happen but the only after effect was a warm sensation travelling over my whole body. The pop was on the left side of my head near the top and back. The best way to describe it is like something burst in my brain. (although I m sure that if it had then I wouldn t be sitting here typing this)
Howell come ChatDoctorI really appreciate your concern, what was the feeling you had, or you experienced could be nonspecific, and it may not be the pure form of pathological symptoms, so it is nothing to worry, still just to rule out the cerebral related anything then CT scan can be thought else just take it easy, in absence of any symptoms just no need to worry, hope this information helps.

I thought maybe a stomach bug, but she has been fairly happy throughout it and we put her in the bath as she had messed her self and then has done another BM in the water and washing out the dirty water, there seems like a little sand left behind. She is 6
Hello. I just read through your question. I agree with your initial diagnosis, that this is a stomach virus. Stomach viruses come in many varieties. The symptoms you describe sound like a mild form.

Hello, I just left from having a pre op phy, Dr. said ekg showed possible enlarged heart and my bp (wo/meds) was 140/100, I will have to see a cardio dr before surgery. what should BP be before surgery ? Can a enlarged heart be made normal thru diet and exersice ? if yes, how long could it take? Thanks
Hello. Thanks for posting at Chat Doctor. Enlarged hart on ECG may be due to left ventricular hypertrophy due to high blood pressure. But there are other causes and types of enlarged heart which should be ascertained. I recommend you a 2 D echo of the heart to see what chambers of the heart are enlarged and if there is any leak between the valves. Treatment depends on the findings of 2 D echo. If it can be reversed by diet and exercise, again depends on the 2 D echo findings. Meanwhile since your pressures are found to be high, monitor them regularly for three weeks and if the readings are persistently high, then you should be started on BP medications. Wishing you good health. Regards

Your description of your daughters' problem shows that she has anemia which you think might be sickle cell trait or Thalassemia. First test which can be performed is a reticulocyte count. If this is high it is a hemolytic anemia. A peripheral smear should be done which will make the picture clearer. A bone marrow biopsy can be done to rule out plastic anemia or other bone marrow abnormalities. All these tests will help you to narrow down the diagnosis

Being a smoker,I get this terrible cold every change of season like now,blocked nose and sometimes runny,makes breathing very difficult.I use some nasal sprays.Should one take anti histamines even if you don t have allergy during the change in season,with pollen etc?
Dear User, Thanks for using Chat Doctor. As you are suffering from seasonal allergy you need to take mast cell stabilizer or leukotriene antagonist. Antihistamine fail to respond or do not prevent allergy to the full extent. Antihistamines are helpful only when you are having symptoms and cause lots of sedation that is quite troublesome for most of the patients. Thanks

Hi My 9 year old daughter is tired all the time, she is very pale at the moment. She has been sleeping for about 13 hours a night for the last 2 weeks and normally slept about 11 hours. She eats a really good diet and gets lots of exercise/fresh air in normal child ways (ie playing with friends, bike riding) but no excessive sporting regime. She has a slight sore throat but no white spots on it. Any ideas?
She may be anemic and this may have to be ascertained by blood He test. Inspire of good qty of food she needs to get green leafy vegetables, salads and juices and milk in order to maintain balance. The reason could well be MAL Digestion too not allowing nutrients absorb and assimilate. Sore throat, if not treated, could become marked infective upper respiratory tract. Mild affect of weakness can be felt due to this too temporarily. Best way is to motivate her to do saline gargles with warm water and mix a pinch of turmeric to this water. Do thrice a day for a week or so. If you can get holy basil leaves, boil these with little pieces of ginger and tell her to Chat Doctor. Avoid

I have had a yellow tongue since march. My regular doctor sent me to a specialist. He ran some test they came back positive. I do have herd and my doctor is treating me for that. Some days my tongue looks better and some days it looks horrible. Now Im wondering if everything I eat and drink is staining it. Im tired of dealing with it especially when its noticeable. Do you have any suggestions?
Hi. Welcome to Chat Doctor . I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns. As per your complaint the yellow coating over the tongue seems to be Yeast infection known as Thrush, and it can be treated with antifungal medicines like Statin mouthwash gargles, clotrimazole lozenges and taking more of Probiotics like Yogurt in diet. In case if it is not Thrush the other cause for it can be simply poor Oral hygiene and deposit of dead cells, food debris and bacterial over growth over the tongue papillae. It can be cleaned by regular cleaning of tongue with a tongue scraper or a soft toothbrush. Gargle with 1:1 solution of water and HY Chat Doctor. . The chances of Yeast infection are more probable, and you should ask the diagnosis to your treating physician and can contact us at Chat Doctor for further guidance. Hope this information helps. Thanks and regards.

last month my son had severe stomach ache from few months doctor sugested diof syrup and milk of magnesia for 15 days.he was fine for a few days but again this month he started complaining again.he also feels dizzyness and headache at school and in bus.plz suggest
Hi, I am sorry for the situation your son is facing. As long as doctors prescribed Dion syrup and milk of magnesia, this makes me think that your son was having diarrhea problems. If I was your caring doctor would go deeper and run further tests to determine the right cause: examination of stool for ova/parasites and culture of stool for pathological bacteria/candida and abdominal ultrasound. Meanwhile, I advise to:- consume more fluids (water mixed with ORS) to avoid deny Chat Doctor. g. Lactobacillus) to stabilize intestinal flourish fast recovery!

I was told by my ENT doctor yesterday that, when reviewing a CT scan of my sinuses, he discovered a calcification at brain stem and skull, which he said was more than likely caused by severe trauma, which I have had. He called my PCP and told them to order another CT scan and MRI. He told me it was extremely distressing and needed to be addressed asap. What does all this mean and what is done to resolve the issue.
Hi, Thank you for posting your query. I would require detailed report of your MRI/CT scan to give a detailed opinion. However, at this point, I would like to point out that calcification in the brain usually denotes an old or inactive problem. This could be due to old injury or infection. In some cases, calcification could be due to metabolic or hormonal disturbances including calcium, parathormone, thyroid, etc. Please get back with the detailed MRI report for more information. Best wishes, Chat Doctor.

my daughter had a tick stuck in her, I brought her to the doctors and they scraped it out, this was about 6 months ago. it goes through phases of swelling up and itching. is this normal? I know ive heard that itching is normal but why is it swelling up so bad? it looks almost like a big pimple.
Hi... I feel the tick is removed, but the sting is still there in the local site of the bite. This is the reason why it is occasional causing local allergic and inflammatory response. I suggest you see your dermatologist regarding this and he or she will examine under magnifying glass and take it out if it is there. Regards -

Good Day! I was recently diagnosed at 21yrs (4months after losing my virginity) with CIN2 after abnormal pap smear and subsequent colposcopy. I have only had sex with 1 person. I engage in vaginal and oral sex. I want to know what are the chances of having cell changes in the neck region as well? And what is the risk of gettting head and neck cancers from hpv? Also is it safe to still engage in oral sex with my boyfriend at this point (protection or no protection)? Thank you in advance.
Hi, You said that you have been diagnosed with CIN2. It is an abnormality of cells in cervix that can lead to cervical cancer if left untreated. CIN2 means between 1/3rd and 2/3rd cells in cervix are transformed onto abnormal cells. It is caused by Human papillomavirus (HPV). HPV doesn't lead to any changes in your neck. Certain types of HPV causes cervical cancer and certain types of HPV causes genital warts. HPV does cause pharyngeal cancer. But it generally occurs in males above 40 years of age. So, It's quite uncommon in a young woman like you. No need to worry about it. As you already have developed HPV infection, you need not be worried about getting new HPV infection from your boyfriend. But always make sure to use protection like condoms. They protect you from all kind of sexually transmitted infections like chlamydia, HIV, syphilis, etc. And coming to the treatment part, your gynecologist will perform some procedure like laser therapy, freezing therapy (cryotherapy) to remove the abnormal cells. She might also use LL ETZ (a procedure using a loop of wire) to remove or scrape out the abnormal cells. Also make sure to undergo repeat testing of pap smear and colonoscopy after 6 months of having treatment for your CIN2.

Hi i am a 33 yr old female, 5ft 10 in height and weigh 12 stone. I am generally of good health up until approx 3 years ago when i had an abnormal smear cin 3 but had it removed and since then have been fine. I have suffered for a long length of time with pain in my lower abdomen which Drs have put down to ovulation pains. I have recently had bloods taken for inflammation, blood count, liver function and these all came back normal except blood count which receiptionist stated came back as if i was suffering from mild viral infection and i have to go back in a months time for a check. I have been for an ultra sound today and my ovaries appeared fine however when scanning mu kidneys the lady took some time on the right side and i observed her measuring what looked like a white shadow and saw a few dark spots. She did not tell me anything re kidneys and stated that they would be in touch within a week. I am really worried now and thinking allsorts especially kidney cancer??? I do not spoke and never have, I have never had high blood pressure i am very active and have a good veggie diet with lots of proteins by only down side is i do drink a bit of wine.
Hi ! Good afternoon. I am Chat Doctor answering your query. Even though it is good to be concerned about ones own health, one should not become frightened or obsessive on cancer for a shadow seen on ultrasound. I would advise you to wait till the report arrives along with the result of a clinical assessment by your treating doctor. For the present just continue with your healthy dietary habits and active lifestyle. I hope this information would help you in not worrying about a problem not yet confirmed. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts. Thanks for choosing Chat Doctor to clear doubts on your health problems. Wishing you an early recovery. Chat Doctor.

I use a small dose of cipralex in the morning as an anti-anxiety med. If I take it at night before bedtime, will that act to help put me to sleep? I have fibre-myalgia and getting to sleep is a problem. If I use something like Ativan or Xanax for sleeping, should I also be taking the cipralex in the morning for mild anxiety?
