Mu son is going to be 9 yrs by this month end.from yesterday morning he is having vomiting and fever and tonsil. Doctors have given ondem, sporilac plus , zanocin 100mg. Yesterday I gave him 2 dose of ondem tablet but again today morning he vomited again. What should I do. Now?
|
Hello, I will suggest you to continue these medications in prescribed doses. It's normal to get vomiting off and on after starting treatment. As this problem is secondary to some infection, the infection takes at least 48 to 72 hours to start getting adequately cleared. You need to keep his well HY Chat Doctor.

I have some sort of pea sized lump on my armpit. Im not sure if it is due to an ingrown hair or if it is something I should be more concerned about. I have also been experiencing a sore neck (in back) only when I turn my head to the left or right. I have not been sleeping on a bed for several months--instead sleeping on a sofa. So, should I be worried?

Hi, For the past 2 days my son is having stomach pain, and his bowel movement is kind of foam..i gave Albandazole suspension(given bya paediatrician)....but still his bowel movement look like a foam..can u suggest me any medication to regular the bowel movement?

Hi... Thank you for consulting in Chat Doctor. It seems your kid is having viral diarrhea. Once it starts it will take 5-7 days to completely get better. Unless the kids having low urine output or very dull or excessively sleepy or blood in motion or green bilious vomiting...you need not worry. There is no need to use antibiotics unless there is blood in the motion. Antibiotics might worsen if unnecessarily used causing antibiotic associated diarrhea. I suggest you use zinc supplements (Z&D Chat Doctor.

My child has fever for the 5th day today . He is onTaxim 0 100 mg morning n night ,he started with vomiting and lose stools which stopped on day 3 and on day 4 he started sneezing and throat congestion but as of today the fever is coming every 8hours and is about 100 so do I need to worry and investigate further or should j leave it and its only a virAl fever which will subside after the 5th day .my xSon is 5 years old
|
Such symptoms are usually caused due to certain viral infections. It is usually a self limiting condition and not a cause of concern. Irrespective of the use of antibiotics, it should still take 5-7 days to recover. Giving steam inhalation and some antiallergic like cetirizine should provide relief. Gurgling with lukewarm water should help in relieving the throat congestion. Giving paracetamol will help to bring down the temperature. Give ORS or oral rely Chat Doctor. If the child is active and playful, you need not worry. However, if the child starts wheezing or becomes lethargic, if the temperature is beyond control, or if the condition lasts more than 7-10 days - you would need to visit a doctor without delay.

Hi I am 46 yrs.old and I have problema with my chest X-Ray it shows like this IMPRESSION: PTB of undetermined activity, right from my Apico result. I am very surprising with this result cause every time I renew to work every 6mos. I always take an X-ray result for almost 15 yrs.all is clear but only now I got this result why?

Hello, * Pulmonary tuberculosis of undetermined activity can be shown up in an individual without symptoms, particularly when the person is exposed to the pathogen, and it has remained dormant due to the precise immune system of the body to keep it inactive. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Chat Doctor. Patel, General Surgeon

Is it okay to take nordette again? I just took nordette as ecp last march 28. A day after I had unprotected sex. 4 pills in the first dose and another 4 after 12 hrs. I had withdrawal bleeding after 8 days, April 5. We had unprotected sex again yesterday, April 13, he used withdrawal method 4 times but I still want to be sure. Can I take Nordette as ECP again? Please help. Thank you
|
Hi, Thanks for the query. There should be at-least two months gap between the usage of emergency pills. Repeated usage can lead to menstrual irregularity and other related problems. For more details:http://srsree.blogspot.in/2012/08/emergency-contraceptive-pill-short-term.htmlIf you are having no other option, you can use them. But after that try to use some regular contraceptive method to avoid these problems. For more details you can ask me through: http://www.ChatDoctor .com/doctors/ Chat Doctor.

hi Sir, My mummy having the problem in Carcinoma Pancreas and undergone triple bypass(HJ+GJ+JJ) at . After this operation, she is getting severe pain in the same area daily 3 times. Doctors suggested to take the Liv.52 and ultracet whenever there is pain. What should be the cause of this pain? Reply soon.
|
Hi Bharat, Carcinoma of pancreas can itself cause pain. In addition, she has undergone triple by-pas, suggesting she had obstruction also. All these conditions including post surgical complications can cause pain. As suggested by her doctor, giving painkillers (mild or strong depending on the severity) to take care of her pain is the only remedy available.

Hello , I would just like to know. How a 5 month old stools should look like she is formula feed , and I am also weaning her with baby rice 2 times aday , I have tried soya milk as I was told her stools should be firm at her age but I think they are to firm now so am back to normal forumla but are peanut butter like stools normal as it comes out the top of her nappy sometimes so I am unsure if they are to loose ?? I am very confused !
|
Hello! Thank you for writing us here. It's not good if you're feeding the baby with formulas and other child supplements. No matter what just breast milk should be given for at least 6 months. It would help the baby to develop immunity. Also, there's whining foods which should be given along with milk. Banana is very good and also improve the gut health. I would suggest stopping the formula food and change the diet of baby to just breast milk for next couple of months. Best regards, Chat Doctor.

hello doctor, my sister is suffering from kidney shrinkage, and her keratinine level is nearly to 7 on average. she is undergoing dialyses twice a week from last 3 months. But her stomach swelling is not decreasing. Her age is 25. plz guide me that shall we continue with the same. If yes for how much time. we r very upset.Arun Sharma India
|
Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns. First thing you need to know is dialysis is the best treatment at this stage as her creatinine levels are 7. Coming to her stomach swelling the ultrafiltration which she is taking during dialysis need to be more in my opinion to take excess fluid out. If I am her treating doctor I will definitely increase the ultrafiltration if her BP is normal and if she is not tolerating she needs to be kept on weekly thrice dialysis. Please talk to your treating doctor about this and of course the final treatment other than dialysis will be the transplantation. Please get back if you have any queries. Chat Doctor.

I have had a relatively large white painful bump on the gum line of my lower center tooth on my bottom gum. It has been there for 7 weeks and I have tried everything on it to make it better. I have been to the dentist three times and I have been to a Rheumatologist and I have been to an ear nose and throat doctor all of which say it should eventually go away but Im tired of dealing with the pain. it is hard and the hardness goes all the way down the length of the two. Can you possibly tell me what this might be?
|
Hello, Thanks for consulting Chat Doctor, Read your query, as you have painful bump on lower gum this can be due to carious tooth or due to gingival problem swelling in gingival can be due to deposition of food debris, plaque, calculus resulting in formation of abscess. For this you should consult dentist and go for examination of oral cavity and investigations IOWA x-ray of tooth, if there is Periodontal abscess then go for Oral prophylaxis. In meantime, you can do warm saline gargle two - three times a day, you can apply ointment Gum paint on gum for temporary relief. Hope it will help you. Wishing you good health.

Hi, about a week ago, i quit masturbating. I used to not be able to go without masturbating for more than 2 or 3 days and i would masturbate about 3 to 4 times in a day. After quitting, i ve found that i have much better concentration and more motivation to talk to women i meet on the streets or other public venues. The only problem is that my appetite for food has taken a sharp drop. I m only able to eat 3 to 4 spoonfuls before i feel full. Is this a common withdrawal symptom? and what other withdrawal symptoms can i expect?
|
Thanks for asking in Chat Doctor forum Masturbation is not a disease, and it does not have any with Chat Doctor. But 3-4 times a day can harm you as you had taken it as a habit. So, your appetite and masturbation is not related. Start doing regular exercise and balanced diet with sprouted pulses daily for regaining your appetite. All the best.

HI At my last appointment with my heart specialist the doctor increased my dose of Carvidilol (Coureg) to 12.5mg twice per day in the hope that this would decrease the chances of an AFIB event, in fact he said I can eat anything now. Unfortunately over Christmas I had two or three AFIB events each of which subsided after a few hours and where my pulse fortunately never reached over 124 ppm ( at least when I checked it ). The reason for the events was probably due to over indulgence in foods that may have had higher levels of sodium chloride at the same time as drinking a lot of wine and on one occasion brandy. On a normal day my pulse is 49 to 52 in the morning and seldom gets above 65 even after some fairly heavy physical activity. It does go up to mid to high 60 s if I have two or three glasses of wine. Normally of course I am on a very low salt diet as my wife and I make almost everything from scratch ourselves without adding sodium chloride. The reason I am writing is that early March we are traveling to Australia for a month followed by a month cruising back to the US. I don t know whether I will be able to get low or no salt food on board the ship. I m wondering whether an even higher dose of coureg might be advisable during the trip to counter the unknown levels of salt I will encounter on the voyage. Thanx Keith Jones

Hello, Your dosage or Carvedilol is optimum and increasing it at present is not justified as you already have low borderline pulse (50) at rest and increasing the dose may bring it more low which would cause fatigue and weakness on routine activity. Mostly you would be able to tolerate normal salt in cooking. Just avoid breads, bakery products and preserved food as they have higher salt content. Avoid Bing Chat Doctor. If you have an Atrial fibrillation episode, taking a higher dose e.g. 25 mg max of carvedilol single dose, would be ok. But taking on routine basis is not a good idea. Also discuss the need for anticoagulation with your doctor on next visit. Regards

### Answer: Hello, Your dosage or Carvedilol is optimum and increasing it at present is not justified as you already have low borderline pulse (50) at rest and increasing the dose may bring it more low which would cause fatigue and weakness on routine activity. Mostly you would be able to tolerate normal salt in cooking. Just avoid breads, bakery products and preserved food as they have higher salt content. Avoid Bing Chat Doctor. If you have an Atrial fibrillation episode, taking a higher dose e.g. 25 mg max of carvedilol single dose, would be ok. But taking on routine basis is not a good idea. Also discuss the need for anticoagulation with your doctor on next visit. Regards

Aloha from Hawaii:I just heard back from my doctor who ordered an MRI the other night. His diagnosis is L5, S1 disc protrusion. I am wondering if there is a medicine of choice for this pain until I can get more physical therapy, etc. I tried vicodin, tramadol and now he put me on Lyrica. Someone also spoke of Cymbalta (sp?)
|
Hi, You are diagnosed to have L5 S1 disc prolapse, and you have severe neuralgic pain because of it. Lyrica dose to be increased for relief from neuralgia. Cymbalta contains duloxetine which is a selective serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor which when used reduces neuralgic pain, dose range from 20 mg to maximum 60 mg daily. If symptoms still persists you should consult neurosurgeon, for epidural steroids. Hope this will help regards Chat Doctor.

I have been having pain in my upper ribs on the right side which often moves to the back under my shoulder. I ve had a chest x-ray and mammography. Both showed nothing. Also had bloodwork done. I work out everyday. Could this possibly be muscle strain?
|
Hello, I have studied your case. I would like to give few differential diagnoses for your symptoms. There can be thoracic nerve compression in spinal canal leading to right sided pain from rib and shoulder. Due to compression of this nerve root there is pain in your rib. I will advise you to do MRI spine for this. Another possibility of abdominal mass leading to pain on right side. CT scan abdomen with pelvis will help to get further details. Till time for these symptoms analgesic and neurotrophic medication can be started. Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow-up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries. Wishing you good health. Take care.

hi, my mom is 61 and is experiencing swollen legs, ankles, and feet to the point that for 4 days water ran like a faucet out of a hair pore on her lower shin then suddenly stopped all the while she has a hard lower abdomen muscle and a wrenched lumbar. she s also been not experiencing normal quantity or frequency of defecation and until yesterday had the same issues with urination. she eats well, exercises and is in perfect health other than the bizarre collection of eclectic symptoms i have just described. what is going on and what can we do to make her better? and yes, we are 2 of the 43,000,000 americans without insurance and cannot afford the ER, unless there is traumatic bleeding/broken injury. is there some sort of home to-do thing that we can try?

Hello, As she has edema of the lower limbs I would like to know if it is pitting or nonpitting edema. As she has water oozing out of the skin it might be general edema for now. The urine output has reduced and a diuretic Chat Doctor. Since diuretic

Nine years ago I had cervical spine surgery with instrumentation. The last three weeks I am experiencing low-grade pain in my neck--radiating up the back of my head; and, I have noticed odd tastes (metalic) and smells (burned grain like) Could all this be connected? If so, what should I do? Cant afford fees.
|
Ok. there's a nerve from the top of the neck that runs up the back of the head (C-1 nerve). Problems in it cause pain in that location, often triggered by neck/head movement. Taste/smells are from the totally opposite side of the head (nose and the first cranial nerve that runs under the brain near the nose). A stretch to connect it to neck problems.X-rays of the neck to establish the surgery didn't fall apart then physical therapy and/or traction and/or injections, pain management would be standard treatments. Nasal inflammation/infection/sinus blockage can cause changes in smell and taste, I cannot say in your particular case without an exam.

This is called authors ulcer, if you mean that it is inside your mouth. This usually occur due to unaccustomed stress. You need to take multi vitamins especially vitamin B supplement. You can apply a local anesthetic Kelly (made for local application on oral mucosa only) on the area, to prevent it from paining and faster healing

Hi My name is Jane I have TCP Purpura, Multi Giant Cell Hemangiomas in all the verts in spine and neck, Liver (4 all 16 cm) in my legs and R & L Axillias, Pancreas, Around my Gall Bladder, Stomach, reproductive organs and now in my right lung, and head. Many are Symptomatic and I am on Fentynyl and other drugs to try and combat nerve pain and other symptoms......
|
Hi and welcome to Chat Doctor. Thank you for your query. I am sorry about your disease, but you should be encouraged to create it by all possible methods. Haemangiomas which are symptomatic, larger than 10 cm and which are risky to bleed should be surgical removed especially those in liver and lungs. Also, splenectomy should be performed if possible for improvement of thrombocytes levels. Wish you good health.

i have been eating rajnigandha paan masala for last 14/15 years.......in between stopped for some time.......now i am facing snoring , dryness of mouth specially in the night ...getting up in the night after 2-3 hours of sleep for urination........overall not very sound sleep....also getting breathless in short climbing ladders which was not before.....palpitation near larynx (voice box) on small ladder climbing..my age 42 years ,male,height 180 cmm weight 104 kg and an indian.please help

Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. By your history and description, possibility of sleep apnea is more. Sleep apnea is due to obstruction of the air passage during sleep. It can be obstructive pathology or due to excessive fat in the neck. Since you are eating rajanigandha, possibility of Upper Airway obstructive lesion is more. You are also obese (weight 104 kg), so fat related obstruction is absolute a chance. So better to consult ENT and get done clinical examination of throat and lynx and sleep study. Sleep study is must for confirmation of sleep apnea. You have to lose weight and stop rajanigandha. You may need CPAP machine at night. Consult ENT doctor and discuss all these. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.

I just had an endometrial ablation yesterday. I am 47 and have been married for 3 years. We do not use any form of birth control, so after the first 2 years I assumed that I could not get pregnant. Am I at a higher risk of becoming pregnant now that I have had the ablation don?
|
Hi, Thank you for choosing Chat Doctor. Considering your age and ablation its unlikely you will become pregnant again, but you wait for your periods to resume, sometimes after this ablation you might go for permanent amenorrhea. If not you can get a copper T inserted. Please ask if you have more questions. If you are satisfied, please make sure that your ACCEPT my answer so that I receive credit. Good luck!!

About 4 weeks ago I had a bladder infection and was treated with antibiotics. Last week I had a basic blood panel run and my WBC was low (2.9), they had me come back today (1 week later), and my WBC is 4.3, still low, but up from last week. Is this normal rate of recovery from a bladder infection, or should I be worried?
|
Hi, thank you for asking Chat Doctor. You do not need to worry so much. A WBC value of 4300 cells is within the normal range. Generally the range may vary between laboratories, but this value is normal. I hope that answers your query. If you have more questions or any follow-up query do not hesitate to write to us. I wish you well

Hello Dr.My wife recently suffered from a bout of viral fever with a little chest congestion and cold and cough. Though she has recovered, a light wheezing sound continues. She is in the last month of ATT ( 9th month) of which only RCinex is continuing ( Rifampicin and Isoniazid). A digital Xray was done yesterday and the results came out as all clear. Right now along with R Cinex she is taking Montek LC and BroZedex syrup
|
HIT hanks for posting your query. It seems like she is having mild allergic bronchitis because of recent viral infection. NO need to worry about this. Make sure she avoids dust, smoke and cold air. Chat Doctor. Take steam inhalation or Eucalyptus oil inhalation. If the wheezing is still bothering get a prescription for ABPhylline and use it for few days, she will feel better. Hope this information was useful to you. Any clarification feel free to ask.

Is it normal for my 10 yr old 2 have her chicken pox break open & blood come out & is it normal for them 2 look like they r dry but when u touch them they are wet & is it okay for them 2 look like the are an open sore with little blisters around it?
|
Thanks for posting you query to Chat Doctor.chicken pox vesicle are healed with crust formation and then these crust shed off and leave a scar, this is the normal course of disease .if you scratch the vesicle or crust it will bleed, so don't scratch the lesion as bleeding increases chances of secondary bacterial infection .if you develop open lesion after scratching need to take care of that by doing Chat Doctor. Systemic antibiotic like Ampicillin 500 mg three times a day orally can be taken prophylactically. Hope you would be satisfied with my answer. Feel free to communicate if any query.regards,

My brother who was a first responder on 9/11 has been vomitting for 3 weeks, fever, chills as well as abdominal pain. He finally went to the ER last night where they discovered swollen lymph nodes and an enlarged spleen. They released him and told him to follow up asap with family doctor. He is a terrible patient and hates to see any doctor. I am worried about the many cancers associated with 9/11. any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.Thank in advance,Kerry

Hi and welcome to Chat Doctor. Thank you for your query. I am Chat Doctor, I understand your concerns and I will try to help you as much as I can. In your case it looks like infectious cause. Generally enlarged spleen is called splenomegaly and there are various causes possibly leading to this. In first case these are infections such as mononucleosis Parasitic infections, such as toxoplasmosis or Bacterial infections. It means that any infection in your body may lead to spleen enlargement. Second most common causes include autoimmune diseases such as thrombocytopenia. If this is ruled out by specific tests then some other causes may be considered and some are more or less serious such as Leukemia Lymphoma, or noninflammatory diseases such as acidosis, lupus, and rheumatoid arthritis. In every case, infectious causes are treated with antibiotics and other causes may require surgical removal of spleen. I hope I have answered you query. If you have any further questions you can contact us in every time. Kindly regards. Wish you a good health.

Hi, Based on the findings given in the history you seem to be suffering from heart failure secondary to uncontrolled blood pressure. I advise you to consult a physician/cardiologist for further evaluation which may involve certain tests such as ECG, Echocardiography and routine lab tests. You may also need Chat Doctor. You must restrict your dietary salt intake, avoid smoking, alcohol, and stress. Hope these answer your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Hi. My name is Wendy. I m in my early 20s and for months now I ve been suffering with presyncope - lightheaded, feeling heavy , unsteady; I ve been nauseous (feeling like there is a lump in my throat but there isn t... I know because I ve had an endoscopy done and a barium swallow - both negative) and I dry heave very often from this sensation, and I feel like my eyes are out of focus. I don t know how to explain it. I guess it s kind of like it s hard for my eyes to concentrate on something, like they re straining. Also, I ve been diagnosed with migraines years ago and have been on numerous medications for it. I ve also been diagnosed with chronic tension headaches. I feel shaky, and I do have hypothyroidism. I m on levothyroxine for it. I usually feel very hot at night and cold in the morning. Sometimes I feel hot during the day but my skin won t necessarily feel warm. I have difficulty concentrating. I m tired almost all the time, even when I get enough sleep. I usually sleep between 4-7 hours a night, typically. I ve realized that when I wake up, I have so little energy but at night when I should be tired, is when I have the most amount. I ll be alert and energetic. And a problem I ve suffered with every day that has caused a lot of problems is that I have a really heightened sense of smell. Even things that most people think smell fine makes me nauseous and make my head hurt. I don t know where else to turn to find answers. I hope you can help me. Any insight would be greatly appreciated. I thank you in advance.

Hello, I would like to know the names of the Chat Doctor. I would recommend discussing with your doctor on the possibility of taking gabapentin or valproate for the migraine prevention. Another option would be an antidepressant-like sertraline for a tension-type headache. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

I m in my early 20s and for months now I ve been suffering with presyncope - lightheaded, feeling heavy , unsteady; I ve been nauseous (feeling like there is a lump in my throat but there isn t... I know because I ve had an endoscopy done and a barium swallow - both negative) and I dry heave very often from this sensation, and I feel like my eyes are out of focus. I don t know how to explain it. I guess it s kind of like it s hard for my eyes to concentrate on something, like they re straining. Also, I ve been diagnosed with migraines years ago and have been on numerous medications for it. I ve also been diagnosed with chronic tension headaches. I feel shaky, and I do have hypothyroidism. I m on levothyroxine for it. I usually feel very hot at night and cold in the morning. Sometimes I feel hot during the day but my skin won t necessarily feel warm. I have difficulty concentrating. I m tired almost all the time, even when I get enough sleep. I usually sleep between 4-7 hours a night, typically. I ve realized that when I wake up, I have so little energy but at night when I should be tired, is when I have the most amount. I ll be alert and energetic.

Hi, I am TTC. Last I had periods on 1st March,2014. Doctor suggests to take GoodOva Tablet and also CB-Lin, Emrite-500, Thyronil Tablets. I taken Goodova tablet from 6th day of my periods(06th March, 2014). Doctor suggests to have a intercourse between 10th March,14 day to 20th March,14 as I might have ovulation only on those days. But I had my periods till 14th March,2014. After that, We had a regular intercourse till 20th March. I did home pregnancy test on 30th March. But Negative result. I have a few queries: 1. Is it possible that I didn t get ovulation even thought I taken GoodOva Tablet. 2. Is it possible to have ovulation during periods. If so, Is there any chances that I might missed my ovulation during periods. 3. As my doctor suggests,is it OK to have intercourse only between 10th to 20th days from my periods. 4. If I get ovulation between 10th to 20th March and not pregnant means, I should get my periods now ( I heard that after ovulation it takes 12 days to get periods). But it is not happening. Is there is any chance I might get ovulation on coming days. Please help me on above queries. Regards, Karthika PS: I don t have either Thyroid or sugar. I have PCOD other than that all my tests are normal. I have irregular periods problem to.

Hi there, Welcome to Chat Doctor, If your period lasted from 1 to 14 March you have had a prolonged bleeding and might not have ovulated in this cycle. Yes, it is possible that some women do not respond to Good ova (Camphene), these could be due to Camphene resistance or improper use. If you have been diagnosed with PCs delayed periods and an ovulation are common, and it could be due to the same that you have not yet got your period. You need to get proper medication for PCs, Metformin 500 mg twice a day is advisable and can be continued even when you get pregnant. It is not advisable to take thyroid tablets unless you have a documented thyroid deficiency, it will not help you to take it randomly. Diet, exercise and Metformin will help you with the PCs. For ovulation induction with Camphene you need to take Camphene from day 2 to day 7 of the cycle and undergo follicular monitoring from day 9 of the cycle to track the ovulation.Also, Folic acid should be taken by any women trying to conceive. You could take Phaeton to get your period and start Camphene from day 2, after confirming with another pregnant test that you are definitely not pregnant. Hope this helps. Regards.

My right index finger was hit with a hockey stick during the game four weeks ago. My finger has a raised lump on the bone and I was wondering if I should be concerned. If pressure is applied to this raised area it does hurt like the area is still bruised.
|
Hi, Dear,Thanks for the query to Chat Doctor. I studied your problem in depth and I understood your concerns. Treatment for the painful lump on the finger-In my opinion you should not be concerned much as it would resolve on its own with the time, but should investigate it with your ER Ortho-Surgeon, who would treat it according to its cause. From your facts of the query-In my opinion-this lump seems to be due to the post-traumatic tissue damage to the money joints of the right index finger. So take treatment from your ER Ortho-Surgeon, who would treat it after due investigations and treat it accordingly. This advice is based on the facts from the history you give and needs further clinical check.Hence, I would advise you to check with ER Or tho- Surgeon. So don't build up wrong concepts and create more psychic complications in you which would increase risks and costs to you. Hope this would relieve your problem. Welcome for any more query in this regard to Chat Doctor. Write good resume and Click thanks if you feel satisfied with my advice. Have a Good Day. Chat Doctor. N.

Hello, I have been dealing with various mouth pain for several months accompanied by extreme thirst. The veins under my tongue periodically swell and hurt. Ive had sores on my tongue and gums. I dont feel well. One sore on my tongue has been there since October. Help will be appreciated
|
Hello, As per your query you have symptoms of soreness in the tongue and gums along with excessive thirst which is mainly due to recurrent dermatitis. I would suggest you do warm saline rinses several times a day. You should maintain complete oral hygiene. Massage with a numbing gel that is lidocaine gel. Avoid having any sharp and spicy food. You should consult a dentist and get evaluated and get an x-ray of that particular region done to rule out the exact cause of the infection and pain and get treated accordingly. The doctor may perform oral prophylaxis or may prescribe antibiotics along with anti-inflammatory. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Hello!Ive been recently diagnosed with Fibromyalgia by a rheumatoid arthritis specialist. I recently retired and have been involved in physical fitness all my life. I am having a hard time accepting this diagnosis but have taken it upon myself to talk to a cognitive therapist, been to a chiropractor many times and have become an active yoga enthusiast. I dont enjoy the thought of trying various pain medications for fear of their side effects. I understand there is a blood test called FM/a which identifies markers produced by immune system blood cells with in people with fibro. Is this worth pursuing? My symptoms include pain in both upper thighs (t-bands), chronic stiffness in the neck and shoulder areas. Could this be related to some other underlying condition that hasnt been checked? I am having difficulty with this diagnosis since I have been quite active all my life (60 now).With Thanks
|
**1. Since diagnosis is made by a specialist, event then consider second opinion for available options and conservative management.PS. immune marker will help establish prognosis and available options of the disease, thus is worth pursuing.2. Because there is no identifiable because thus treatment is symptomatic, as a result both pharmacological and non-pharmacological measures are used as adjuvant to get a good control of pain and extended symptom free period, such as:. Relaxation and stress management [stress is trigger response to fibromyalgia symptoms], thus yoga & Panama are helpful. Physiotherapy: wax massage, ultrasound/infra-red technique to minimize pain. Diet rich in omega 3 is considered helpful in alleviating fibromyalgia symptoms. In Ayurveda, we consider/manage the disease under Ransomed At Vast, thus prescription medicines available are: Chan Chat Doctor.

i stubbed my toe on a piece of furniture, it was bent pointing outward, i have extreme pain in baby toe, right side of foot up into my calf. I tried to put the baby toe back in place, it hurt like hell, i taped it to the other toe but i am still having alot of pain
|
Hi, You have a fracture in your toe. It needs to be stabilized with a plaster, which will be applied on whole your ankle. Till then, you are not supposed to take weight on the toe or ankle. You need to take rest, apply ice, use a compression bandage and elevate the limb to reduce pain and swelling. If you had been my patient I would have suggested Ibuprofen twice daily for 3 days and then once till pain subsides. Hope this helps you. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. She has history of trauma. So she may have some hematoma formation due to extravasation of blood. It will heal gradually. Nothing to worry about that. If she has pain then analgesic plus anti-inflammatory Chat Doctor. Otherwise, no treatment is required. Apply ice massage on it. Nothing to worry about that. Just be relaxed. Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Wish you a very good health.

I have had lap band and recently had a brief blockage. When I threw up it was violate. Afterward my eyes were hurting and very bloodshot, my ears were ringing and for a couple of days my ears hurt and made noises as if I had an ear infection. What are the dangers in this kind of vomiting?
|
Hello! Thank you for asking on Chat Doctor! I understand your concern and would explain that violent vomiting could lead to raises in blood pressure. Your symptoms could be related to these changes in blood pressure and heart rate. I would recommend you to monitor your blood pressure during these episodes. The ringing in the ears could be explained by changes in blood pressure or changes in the sinus pressure, during this type of physical exertion. You should consult with your attending physician in order to help you regulate the function of Lap Band. Hope you will find this answer helpful! Best wishes,

My daughter, 15, has anxiety. She s on Prozac, 80 mg and 76 concerta. She has Xanax for attacks. She s very anxious tonight, I see a panic attack coming tomorrow. Will taking Prozac or Xanax help prevent it tomorrow? Will she be too tired in school?
|
! After reading your question I can say from my clinical experience that your daughter is on Prozac (fluoxetine) and concrete (methylphenidate) for her problems, and you have asked if she can be given Xanax to prevent the possibility of a panic attack ... I have seen I my clinical practice that SOS (when needed) use of clonazepam/ alprazolam is effective in controlling agitation. The only thing I ask my patients to keep in mind is sedation (not tiredness) which may develop after taking Xanax.in most of the cases of aggression, or panic attack, the only thing which happens with medicine is that the abortion of attack. Rarely, any patient develops sleep or sedation. But it is always a possibility that she may have lethargy, so, keep a check. If you feel such, ask her to take leave from school for a day. Hoep the reply was helpful feel free to ask more questions

I am manic-depressive, schizophrenic and psychotic and have been on medication to treat for many years. I am also being treated for a toenail fungus that I ve been going to doctors for a good ten years, and on Medicaid. I found out my new doctor who prescribed my terbinafine for three months and my OLANZapine no longer accepts Medicaid the last month of my prescription so I called to get a new PCP, got one assigned and called them a few weeks ago. I can t get an appt. as a new patient until Sept. 17 and will run out of both medicines before then. The last time I was off the medicine I had heart pain diagnosed as a racing heart by the ER and was given a heart attack cocktail they called it. I am very concerned about running out of my medicine but don t know what to do about it.

Degree understand your concerns went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. You should know that these problems are not mental diseases, but are mental disorders. Many researches and researchers confirm that medicines alone cannot cure mental disorders. Lifestyle changes, change in thinking pattern, relaxation etc. are as essential as medicines. Psychotherapy can help you to change your lifestyle and thinking patterns. Yoga and meditation help you to streamline your metabolism and neurological balance. Please consult a psychologist for further information. Psychotherapy techniques should suit your requirement. If you require more of my help in this aspect, Please post a direct question to me in this URL. http://goo.gl/aYW2pR. Make sure that you include every minute details possible. I shall prescribe the needed psychotherapy techniques. Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications. Good luck.

i am 20 yr old. i recently had a viral infection and eventually got severe pain in both the arms specially the shoulders, wrists and fingers, pain in ankles, knees and calf muscles of both the legs. At times, i also have numbness in my right hand and have cough as well. I also feel fatigue and have severe headache all the time. Its been a week since the viral ended but there has been no improvement. What could be the reason for the pain?
|
This is myalgic and reactive arthritis. This usually occurs due to the toxins left over in the body by the viral. That acts against the body tissues. To get relieved of it faster eat citrus fruits, take vitamin C supplements and Chat Doctor.

Ive been in the hospital several times this week in the emergency room for Kidney problems then the ER Dr. prescribed some antibiotics for my kidney, I took this medication and it made my body hurt so much, a lot of pain, I went to another Dr. and that Dr. told me that he thinks the pain may be a cause of my Gall bladder. my enzymes were very high from my liver. My body is very itchy and under my skin it hurts everywhere and if i itch it makes it worse and I begin to break out in blochy red sores.
|
Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You have gall bladder problem, high liver enzymes and itching. Your symptoms suggest gall stone with or without cholecystitis. You should go for ultrasound abdomen and complete liver function test. It will give you exact diagnosis. Then you should take treatment accordingly. Chronic circular cholecystitis can be treated by surgery or conservatively. Consult your doctor and take treatment accordingly. Hope I have answered your question. If you have any doubts then feel free to ask me. I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Wish you a very good health.

I just pulled something out of my daughter s butt. She is 2 1/2 years old and has been complaining of her butt hurting for a month. They put her on Miralax, but she still complains. What i pulled out of her butt looked like a long piece of pulled beef. It was stringy but lumped together. I ve seen this several times now, but this was the longest piece. Any idea on what it could be?
|
Hi, the long stringy thing that you removed could be a tapeworm or any other parasite. This is also the cause of constipation which required MiraLax and is also the cause of pain in the abdomen. Give your child Tablet Albendazole 400 mg single tablet. Repeat the dose after 1 week. She should be alright in a few days. Give her some supplements in form of Complex as infestation leads to malabsorption. Spy A to Z 5 ml twice a day will be helpful. Thanks and regards.

Hi, you have made two statements, one is that your son is passing loose motions since 4 days, and again you said frequently your baby is having loose motions... So not clear as for the symptom and its duration. Definitely you need to visit your pediatrician as to check what is wrong. Immunity has to come naturally, slowly as the baby keeps growing immunity will develop. Tc.

I noticed a week or so ago a circular slightly red spot on the upper inner part of my arm. It does not burn or itch and it is not raised. When I first saw it I thought maybe it could be ringworm. I dont know what I had that thought, but did. Then a few days ago I noticed what looks like small red callouses on top of the same two fingers on both hands. They are not dry, dont burn or itch. This morning, I discovered that I had sllightly round reddish/violet spots (the size of a lemon) in the groin area on both thighs. Again, no burning itching or pain of any sort. I just read something about flesh eating diseases and am worried I may have something like that. I do not take any meds; only vitamins D and B12 (which may be low at this time). Thank you for any information on this. I am getting an appointment with a dermatologist this week, but in the meantime, I am concerned because I have never had or seen anything like this. Its not grotesque or anything, but not narmal.
|
Hi, happy to help you on your health concern on part of Chat Doctor! In the present case of Tina corporal and courts or ring worm infection I would suggest a combination of clotrimazole or fluconazole/gentamicin and clobetasol like low dose steroid for 1 month. Please contact your local doctor for a prescription! Hope you got your answer. Please feel free to write to us if any more queries. Wishing you the best health!

For about a month now I had a sudden onset of severe itching on inner thighs, left side of abdomen , right hip area, and upper right side on chest .

In the hallway today, I fell and hit my knee on the ground. After about 1 second my knee started pounding with Pain. Then later today after the football game I was cheering at, my knee was swollen. My knee does not look Bruised. I can still walk on it but it hurts when I do.
|
Hello, It could be due to contusion or sprain. As of now, you can use analgesics/anti-inflammatory combination like diclofenac/serratiopeptidase for symptomatic relief. You can apply ice packs for symptomatic relief. If symptoms persist better to consult an orthopaedician and plan for an MRI scan. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Chat Doctor.

hi.since i got removed my upper tooth gum is healing good but now i notice that gum where is hole feels big and like flabby.i was thinking maybe i irritated it because i keep touching that area with my tongue.so feels like piece of extra gum is hanging.is that normal ?
|
Thanks for sharing your concern with Heath Care Magic.! Please note that, post extraction your dentist would have informed you not to disturb that area as this will impede the healing process. However, you have been disturbing this frequently the healing of the socket would have been delayed. The flabby tissue usually gets remodeled within 2-3 weeks post extraction, if still persist you can revisit your dentist for excision of the flabby tissue.

**1. Since there is no history of intercourse/sexual contact, likelihood of STDs [sexually transmitted disease] is/are ruled out, thus likely possibilities in your case could be.

I have elevated liver enzymes - alt, ast, alk. phos. and ggt. they were revealed after an application for life insurance, which was declined. The have gone down a bit, but are still above normal. That said, we have done ultrasound, ct with contract, and now my blood is at Mayo for possible PBC. However, I also had a root canal today and the endodontist told me it was likely the cause of some jaw pain that I have had for a few months. He said it was pretty bad, although an abscess wasnt noted. Could the tooth problem be the cause of elevated values?Karen
|
HIT hank for asking to ChatDoctorNo it is not correlated with each others, the dental condition(The root canal) and the elevated liver enzyme it may be co-incidence, still I would advise you to discus it with Doctor for possible cause, there must be some viral infection, in either liver or jaw area, take care have nice day

I have had this yeast infection for almost a year. We have tried many prescribed and over the counter aids. My doctor prescribed Nya Myc Nystatin Topical. Do you think this will clear it up. It is under throll of my stomach, and sometimes on left side of my intersticols.
|
HI, thanks for using Chat Doctor It is an antifungal and can be used to treat topical fungal infections but if your infection is widespread, it may be better to combine it with a 2 to 3-week course of an oral antifungal. In addition, your doctor may want to consider a swab of the area to find the exact fungus involved. The lab would also determine which medications would work best and give this information to your doctor. That way you can be treated definitively hope this helps

I was coughing for the past month and have asthma like attack when I wake up coughing at night. A Dr told me that I might have walking pneumonia and gave me some antibiotics. Towards the end of my cough the left side of my rib started to hurt (about two weeks ago). I had that side of my rib injured before (hairline fracture). Which I think may be a reinjury of some sort due to excessive coughing, however, in the past week this pain had traveled from my left side and extend to my right side also. However, the right side pain is more towards the sternum. I don t feel extensive pain going about my day, just have a hard time getting up in the morning when it hurts the most, and when I have any residual cough. Not sure what is wrong with me, and are there thing I can do to get better?
|
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. By your history and description, possibility of bronchitis is more. Bronchitis is inflammation of airways. It can cause excessive coughing, asthma like attacks, chest pain on coughing etc. So better to consult pulmonologist and get done clinical examination of respiratory system and PFT (Pulmonary Function Test). PFT will not only diagnose bronchitis, but it will also tell you about severity of the disease and treatment is based on severity only. You will mostly improve with inhaled bronchodilators and inhaled corticosteroid (ICS). Don't worry, you will be alright. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.

### Question: I was coughing for the past month and have asthma like attack when I wake up coughing at night. A Dr told me that I might have walking pneumonia and gave me some antibiotics. Towards the end of my cough the left side of my rib started to hurt (about two weeks ago). I had that side of my rib injured before (hairline fracture). Which I think may be a reinjury of some sort due to excessive coughing, however, in the past week this pain had traveled from my left side and extend to my right side also. However, the right side pain is more towards the sternum. I don t feel extensive pain going about my day, just have a hard time getting up in the morning when it hurts the most, and when I have any residual cough. Not sure what is wrong with me, and are there thing I can do to get better?
### Answer: Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. By your history and description, possibility of bronchitis is more. Bronchitis is inflammation of airways. It can cause excessive coughing, asthma like attacks, chest pain on coughing etc. So better to consult pulmonologist and get done clinical examination of respiratory system and PFT (Pulmonary Function Test). PFT will not only diagnose bronchitis, but it will also tell you about severity of the disease and treatment is based on severity only. You will mostly improve with inhaled bronchodilators and inhaled corticosteroid (ICS). Don't worry, you will be alright. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.

I am having stomach (or bowel) pain from the beltline to the top of the pubic area. I am female - 56 years old. I have also felt some strange twisting or squeezing just below the belly button for about 10 minutes. It has settled into a dull soreness now. I have a history of divertichilitis, but don t know what an episode of that feels like. There is no nausea - a little belching and gas.
|
Hello dear, I feel you have mild diverticulitis due to which you have these symptoms. Please take a course of antibiotics and antispasmodics after consulting your physician. Belching and gas can be treated with antacids. Have a good day.bye.

Hi. Icing it should help reduce any muscular injury, but we cannot be sure about any skeletal injury that could have possibly taken place from the impact of the injury. So I would recommend a X-ray of the region first and only then other conservative approaches. Best wishes.

Whether heart disease can be cured by Homeopathic treatment. Heart if functioning upto 25 % and when medicine for heart beat improvement is taken then it affects Blood pressures and it gets low and when medicine for improving Blood pressure is teken then heart beat gets low. Twice patient was admitted to Kokilaben Ambani Hospital and he is under treatment of Dr. Jamshed Dalal in last one year. Please suggest whether this heart problem can be cured by taking Homeopathic treqtment. Also please suggest name address of any Doctor at Mumbai who can provide Homeopathic treatment for curing the above disease.
|
Hello Concerned Person, A chronic heart condition responds well to Homeopathy if the patients' vitality is good. Since you have not mentioned the age of the patient or the actual diagnosis your cardiologist has given, it would be wrong to give a definite idea about the scope of Homeopathy in this case. However, there are some wonderful remedies in Homeopathy for heart failure and arrhythmias. I would recommend you to submit a complete case record with reports and then a call can be taken about treatment. You can mail the reports at Chat Doctor. Com if you would like further guidance. All the best!

Hi,Im 29 years old.Im 411 and I gained weight for 8 lbs,now Im 120 lbs:-(Anyway,my question is since the time I had my first period(age 11)I noticed some hair growth,especially around my armpit,so I started plucking my hair.I used to get boiled sometimes in my armpit,but gets better in the following days.Later I decided to stop plucking my hair and I dont do it anymore,but I usually feel now some lumps under my armpit.I used to shaved now,but from what happened in the past,my skin is so loose in my armpit which makes me feel uncomfortable wearing sleeveless.But my main concern is about this lump I feel sometimes.Whenever I over slept in this side of my arms,I can feel the lump the nxt day or whenever I happened to pressed my armpit due to some activities.Do u think there is some kind of a serious illness going on?
|
Hello! Thank you for the query. Armpit is where lymph nodes are located. It Chat Doctor. So it is always a risk that some changes in the breast can give a lump under the armpit (enlarged lymph node). That is why I suggest you to do not ignore it. Please consult gynecologist and have breast and armpit ultrasound done. Hope this will help. Regards.

In March 2010 i had a cervical biopsy because my pap smear came back abnormal. Lately (about 2 months) I feel bloated and tired more than usual. My bloating looks like im 2-3 months pregnant. No changes in my eating habits. Could the bloating be related to ovarian cancer? or a cyst? No adominal or back pain. or abnormal bleeding. I am 29. I am now weighing in at 112 (104 previously) 5 feet 2. Thanks!
|
Hi, Thanks for writing in. Bloating is a non-specific symptom and might be seen in many conditions. Cysts in the ovary might cause bloating sensation and this requires clinical abdominal examination and ultrasound scan or CT scan. Any cyst in the ovary will be noted. It is also possible that there might be a condition in the uterus and this might be confirmed by clinical investigations. A pap smear is not connected to cyst in ovary. It tells about the cells in cervix. Please discuss your pap smear report with the doctor. If there is any cyst in the ovary then you might have to do additional test like CA 125 to know if there is any risk of cancer associated with the cyst. You might also get your thyroid function test done. Please do not worry.

I have a bulge to the side of my right knee cap. My knee snapped while in an aerobics class. Never had problems with this knee before. I have no swelling other than the bulge to the outside and this is only when the knee is bent. I can not put full weight on my knee right now. Very cautious when walking. I am icing and elevating as much as possible. The bulge feels like a gel pack to the side of my knee. What is this bulge and what can I do to make it go away?

Hi, my father is 80 ears old and complaining of stomach ache. He has been slightly constipated so last friday took him to doctor, and was told to use miralax. He was not eating how he normally eats, and even after doctor visit he feels better, but has not regained his full appetite. This morning he says his stomach hurts, and his urine looks like it has blood. He is 5ft11in, 220lb., and has had stroke, and heart attack. Also has pacemaker.
|
Hi. Thanks for your query. The history of Stroke, Heart attack and Pacemaker indicates that your Father must be taking some medicines for thinning blood. This may be the reason for blood in the urine. Immediately get the coagulation profile done and consult a Doctor to get the other investigations and treatment to be done. The stomach pains can be due to constipation itself. MiraLax should have helped. You can try enema, and if still has pains as he is already not taking anything orally, it is better to get an opinion of a Doctor to see and examine the abdomen. Get the following investigations:X-ray of the abdomen in standing position. Ultrasonography. Urine : routine, microscopy, culture and sensitivity - get whether there is a bleeding.

### Question: Hi, my father is 80 ears old and complaining of stomach ache. He has been slightly constipated so last friday took him to doctor, and was told to use miralax. He was not eating how he normally eats, and even after doctor visit he feels better, but has not regained his full appetite. This morning he says his stomach hurts, and his urine looks like it has blood. He is 5ft11in, 220lb., and has had stroke, and heart attack. Also has pacemaker.
### Answer: Hi. Thanks for your query. The history of Stroke, Heart attack and Pacemaker indicates that your Father must be taking some medicines for thinning blood. This may be the reason for blood in the urine. Immediately get the coagulation profile done and consult a Doctor to get the other investigations and treatment to be done. The stomach pains can be due to constipation itself. MiraLax should have helped. You can try enema, and if still has pains as he is already not taking anything orally, it is better to get an opinion of a Doctor to see and examine the abdomen. Get the following investigations:X-ray of the abdomen in standing position. Ultrasonography. Urine : routine, microscopy, culture and sensitivity - get whether there is a bleeding.

Dear Amy Trotter, Smoking is bad or rather very, very bad for your gums in addition to your general health. It's advisable to stop at the earliest. Numerous dentists nowadays offer Smoking Cessation Tips if you are interested in kicking off the habit. For the gum infection please visit a dentist (preferably a Periodontist) to get your teeth cleaned (Scaling & Root Planing) once every 3 months depending upon how much you smoke. It's also important to clean your tongue with a tongue cleaner, or you can use the same brush & paste though gently. Which Toothpaste & Mouth wash do you use?

hi doc, we were planning to have a baby and my husband had a typhoid,antibiotics were given for 3 days fever subsided after 3 days & we had another blood test done, d report indicated he is still infected but he has no signs of fever how long should we wait to conceivethanks,Archana
|
Hello, Welcome to ChatDoctorI understand your concern. There is no such contraindication for getting pregnant when your husband is suffering from typhoid. But when your partner is suffering from infection, there will be fewer chances of you becoming pregnant because of medications and stress he is undergoing. So, i would advise you to wait till he gets completely cured and then only try for it. Hope you are happy with the answer. Thank you

My friend is in the Hospital and says Blood tests state she now has an Internal Bleed. She was diagnosed with CHF the other day and she is obese and has sores on her back calves. They ve put her on antibiotics etc, but she is on different medications for various reasons. Gravol, anti-depressants, Tylenol and seizure meds etc. Wondering if these meds have anything to do with her Internal Bleed. She seems very ill, will she pull through this, can they do anything for an Internal Bleed?
|
Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor, Congestive heart failure and medications prescribed to you are probably not the cause of internal bleed. Internal bleed can occur due to internal injury. Spontaneous internal bleeding can occur due to reduced platelet count or deficiency of coagulation factors. Thus, you need to consult your primary healthcare provider for clinical assessment and prescribe these investigations- complete hologram, platelet counts, bleeding time, clotting time and other coagulation tests- prothrombin time (PT) and activated partial thromboplastin time (apt). In case any of these investigations are abnormal, you need to consult your hematologist for further management. Thanks and take care Chat Doctor.

My mother did knee replacement and prostetis removal because of infection. After 3 month of treatment, she still has Proteus mirabilisin her knee. Please, help us. What we should do. Doctor put her on antibiotic again (levofloxacin) may be there is another remedy

Hello, Proteus may develop resistance to Chat Doctor. But sensitivity and culture test is useful to confirm the cause. The most appropriate treatment for P. Mirabilis may be aminoglycosides, carbapenems (except Eminem), and 3rd generation cephalosporins. Recent P. Mirabilis isolates were also mostly susceptible to augmenting, ampicillin-sulbactam, and piperacillin/tazobactam. So please get it done culture and sensitivity according to that get treated. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care

Welcome to Chat Doctor .1. Your history suggest a chronic back pain.2. But now you are saying that you are pregnant - so at this time we can't investigate much regarding your back pain. (neither x-ray, nor MRI-not harmful but why stress in pregnancy)3. So I would suggest taking some symptomatic painkillers suggested by your OBI specialist. 4. Try to have good bed rest and ask for few exercises during pregnancy - they might give relaxation.5. After pregnancy an active investigation and treatment can be done. Hope it helps you. Wish you a good health. Anything to ask ? Do not hesitate. Thank you.
