Hi there, last month I had an episode whereby I had chest pain, dizziness, cold sweat, and shoulder and back pain. I felt like I was having a heart attack. A couple of weeks later I had crushing chest pains followed with acute onset of vomitting shortness of breath and cold sweats. I saw a doctor who since diagnosed this as indigestion, it didnt feel that way. Blood tests were inconclusive and since then I have had a dull chest ache which worsens when I bend over, any ideas pls ?
|
Crushing chest pain, dizziness , shoulder and back pain are suggestive of an attack of acute myocardial infarction.I would suggest you to undergo following investigations very soon -ECGEchocardiographystress test blood pressure LDL level after following test are done, your cardiologist will treat you accordingly. Thankyou and take care.

good afternoon doctor m rohan 22 years old i have allergy of smoke it causes cold and further asthma some breathing problem what precautionshould i take? i used inheler frequently is it effecy my immunitive power & how can i improve my immunive power by daily diet?

Hello Rohan, Thank you for asking at Chat Doctor. I went through your history and would like to make suggestions for you as follows:1. I would suggest you allergy testing for common air-borne allergens such as house dust mites, molds, pollen, insect proteins, pet dander, etc. This will help you identify the substances causing allergies to you as well as to know the measures to avoid them.2. Based on allergy testing, an Allergist-Immunologist may prescribe you allergen specific immunotherapy which will work on immune system to gradually improve allergy symptoms over a long period.3. In general, I would suggest you to avoid exposure to dusts, smokes and air pollution as much as possible.4. I would suggest you to use inhaler as suggested by your doctor. (There are two types of inhalers, some are to be taken regularly and some are to be taken for symptom relief on as-and-when-needed basis). Inhalers do not affect immunity unless a very large dose is used for long duration (a few years), so please do not worry about it. Of course, it is important to know that inhalers are very good to control the symptoms, but they are not helping immunity too. So other measures to improve immunity should be taken simultaneously.5. For improving immunity through diet, vitamins, minerals and antioxidants are very important. Usually we get them from fresh green vegetables, fresh fruits and some other sources. Packed foods that contain preservatives/colors/flavors etc. are not considered good, so as excess of fried foods, that do not have much of nutrition value.6. Some patients experience worsening of cold/asthma symptoms after taking cold foods like cold water, cold Chat Doctor. If it is true for you, I would suggest you to avoid them.7. Apart from diet, regular physical exercise, Yoga, breathing exercises including Panama and stress reduction including relaxation & meditation practices are very important to improve immunity. Yoga & Panama also help to improve lung capacity which helps asthma patients and may reduce requirements of inhalers with long term practice. Hope above suggestions will be helpful to you. Should you have any further query, please feel free to ask at Chat Doctor. Wish you the best of the health ahead. Thank you & Regards.

Hello, I had a fall about two months ago and my knee has what looks like 3/4th of a golf ball bump on it. I have been putting ice on it. It doesn t hurt unless I put pressure on it. It is mostly squishy but has hard parts. I can walk normal. Is it some kind of cyst that formed from the fall?
|
Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You have history of trauma. You have high chance of having hematoma formation due to extravasation of blood. Furthermore, you should go for MRI knee once to rule out any meniscus or ligament injury or other soft tissue injury. Then you should take treatment accordingly. Rest, anti-inflammatory plus analgesic Chat Doctor. Consult your doctor and take treatment accordingly. Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Wish you a very good health.

Will valium become more effective over time? I know it is supposed to work instantly, yet I have been going up and down on doses for a few weeks now as I dont want to be on them. I do ok taking 5mg at night for a week, and then try to stop, or lower the dose, and end up a few days later needing 20mg just to stop a night time anxiety attack. Then I drop back to the 5mg for awhile do ok for a week, and again try to lower or stop...and the cycle continues. Is it better to just keep taking it at 5mg daily no matter what and leave it alone for awhile...husband and some web sites say that valium will become more effective if I take it daily to build up the same level in my body.
|
HI, thanks for using Chat Doctor. You have not mentioned why you are taking Valium. Valium is diazepam, benzodiazepine in nature. It is used for sleep mainly associated with primary Chat Doctor. For a short term it may be used for anxiety. Valium is having addictive properties. As you go on increasing, you require higher dose of it. Rather than doing self-medication, You should consult psychiatrist for detailed evaluation and treatment. Valium use should be restricted only as and when required basis only. Meanwhile you can try stress management and relaxation techniques like yoga and meditation for better sleep and relaxation. Thanks

my 8 yr old son is suffring from astma. When he gets attach we give him levoline and seroflow pump as per dr suggestion. Now dr suggests us to give him half telekast l tablet every day. I am affraid about the side effects. Generally he gets cold and cough in 2,3 months. He has suffred with astma attach for 3 -5 times in last 2 years. Pl suggest
|
Hellos you have mentioned your son is suffering from Intermittent asthma. Management of this condition is inhalation bronchodilator (leveling or Aeroflot) as and when required. Montelukast is actually used in treatment of persistent asthma (attack more than one time a wk), sometimes physicians prescribe it in intermittent attack also because it reduces bronchial reactivity. Side effects of montelukast are very few like restlessness, irritability etc. I hope this answers your query effectively. In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out. Please accept my answer in case you do not have further queries. Wishing you good health. Regards

my problem is involuntary movements due to stomach upset. lots of gas coming out of my mouth. i mean burps
|
The conditions are called aerophobia. This is because of swallowing of air during food. This happens because of talking while eating or hastily eating the food. There is a chance of air to be swallowed. Hence, it is advised to eat slowly with good chewing of food. You may swallow air during gulping of water. Consider cutting on carbonated Chat Doctor. Sometimes milk and milk products cause burps because of lactose intolerance, cut their consumption. If you have any other symptoms like burning pain in the stomach or food or acid regurgitation into the mouth, that could be reflux esophagitis which needs lifestyle modification and certain medications.

Hi...28 year old male...was bending over wheeling in my hose outside and all of a sudden had a sharp pain in my lower back on the left side. It hurt quite a bit, but the pain initially subsided. It s been 2-3 days and it still hurts a bit, and when I bend over it hurts a lot. The pain has also spread to my left testicle.
|
Hello, Thanks for your query. After going through your query I came to know that you are probably suffering from muscular pain back. Treatment of it is rest and analgesics (ibuprofen) for nearly 5 days. Second possibility is mild disc prolapse. It can be confirmed by MRI scan. Rest in position of relief (generally lateral position with both hip and knee bend), neurotopics such as mecobalamin and analgesics are of use. There are two treatment options. You can discuss with your treating Doctor about it. I do hope that you have found something helpful, and I will be glad to answer any further query. Take care.

Hi! I ve had my bottom wisdom teeth pulled a little less than a year ago. I have a lump right behind my left back tooth that seems like it could be popped but cannot. It s giving me a small sore throat and causing pain on the left side of my mouth. What can I do to get rid of this and make sure it doesn t happen again? The lump can be moved a bit.
|
Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor forum, i am glad you wrote in, first, I need to know that which side of wisdom tooth did you got extracted, was it left or right. The lump which is present may be due to infection and inflammation of the gingival flap. If the pain is present on the same side from where the wisdom tooth was removed, then may be a tooth remnant is present following extraction, but if not, then it is due to peritonitis, i.e. inflammation of the gingival flap that covers your erupting tooth(wisdom tooth).I would advise you to perform warm saline rinses(3-4 times/day), use an antibacterial mouth rinse(Betadine) twice/day, and kindly visit you dentist who will prescribe you medications after a thorough clinical check-up.I hope I answered your query, i wish you good health.

hey my boyfriend woke up this morning very cold even though his body felt very hot, with body aches. he has a cough and has vomited. he says he feels like he is going to die and he can not concentrate because his whole head is blocked up? how do i help him?
|
Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor! He is possible suffering from a viral infection. There is nothing to be worried about. If I were you doctor, I'd advice -1. An antipyretic (Paracetamol) to get relief from fever and body pains.2. An anti-histaminic (cetirizine) to get relief from cold.3. Steam inhalation4. Tepid body sponging - wet a cloth with cold water and wipe his entire body with it whenever he develops fever. Being a viral infection, it will take 5-7 days to cure. HOwever, these medications I've mentioned above will decrease his symptoms.Also, please note that in case he gets chills with fever, I'd advice you to get a Malaria test done if you reside in an endemic area.

I m suffering from jaundice from 5 months, i took ayurvedic treatment but no use.I check up blood test (bilibruim total and direst ), i have 2.5 .. can u suugest me good solution please.
|
Hello. Welcome to Chat Doctor. You need to tell us the complete test reports-bilirubin - both direct and indirect, along with liver enzymes, hepatic viral markers, history of medicine/ Chat Doctor. With all these findings, probably a USG abdomen would also be needed. Depending on age, there can be many causes for jaundice and the final diagnosis requires minimum basic of the above-mentioned investigations. An accurate diagnosis is the only thing by which a treatment can be suggested. So get these tests and visit a physician, who will also examine you for enlargement of liver and other signs of liver malfunction. Take care.

My mother has bone cancer. Which has spread to her lung & liver. Chemo was stopped after 1 treatment & radiation after 5rounds. Is shaking & loss of ability to feed self normal? Bone cancer seems to be fast moving & extremely painful,is this normal as well? Any advice?
|
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your situation and problem. It is not normal at all. It is common side effect after chemotherapy and radiotherapy especially in end stage cancer in old age patients. Furthermore, it is due to weakness from1. Disease itself2. Chemotherapy and radiotherapy3. Decrease oral Intake. So better to start nutritional support in the form of protein supplements, multivitamin containing zinc, folic acid and vitamin B 12.

Hi, It may be Costco Chat Doctor. Fast heart rate may be the result if it. I would like to advise you to Ibuprofen 400 mg three times a day after meal for 5 days, meanwhile avoid caffeine. If fast heart rate continues, take Valerian twice daily unless you

My ct scan report says is a slightly thickened wall to the fundus of the stomach. This could simply be related to incomplete distention however an underlying inflammatory or neoplastic process could not be completely excluded. What does this actually mean? The ct was ordered for a consistent pain in my upper abdomen right of center at the rib.
|
HI. Read and understood your symptoms and findings. It is for sure that the slight thickening of the wall of the funds of the stomach can not cause pain in the upper abdomen right of the center at the rib. I would advise you to consult a General Surgeon for an actual Physical examination to exclude or diagnose the cause of pain like costo-chon Chat Doctor. Muscle spasm, epigastric small hernia as all these things are not diagnosed on CT scan at all. The thickening of the funds of uterus may not be a cancer-the cause being by this time the pains come at other spots the secondaries can be seen on any CT scan oft the abdomen.

My upper stomach underneath my breasts is very hard all the time, sticks out like a pregnant belly. I am very over weight but this has just happened in the last month or so. I do not have any gas issues, I feel sick to my stomach all the time, took 2 pregnancy tests and both negitive. 3 months ago white blood count was higher than it should be. Getting a little worried
|
Hi. Thanks for your query. All the over-weight people have an extra deposit of fat in the area you described; and due to its typical position one always gets this feeling of hardness. The best way for a proper diagnosis is to go for the CT scan of the area to rule out any other pathological problem. High White blood cell count may not have to anything to this condition.

My 9 month old went to the doctor yesterday for a high fever and as part of the physical exam (no u/s), she felt that her liver was 4cm from my baby s ribs, instead of the 2cm it should be. She asked that I follow-up regarding the size of the liver as it may be small. What would be the implications of this?
|
Hi...liver can get enlarged due to various reasons in this age group - like minor viral infections or congenital liver storage disorders. As your pediatrician has suggested we need to follow up the kid and then decide on further management. Regards -

Hi thank you. My 7 years old has had a low fever for 10 days..he turns pale some time during periods of time and get emotional from time to time saying he feels tired. But then gets back to normal behavior. But low fever of 99 to 99.6 stay the same through the day. He has low appetite but eats. He has developed a cough since yesterday. What could it be? Should I be concerned. It has had happened in the past. When I mentioned to his pediatrician my concern last year, he listened to his heart and said it was nothing. Should I persue and get a second opinion or is it normal for a child to get low fever for a while from time to time? Thank you.

It is quite normal for child Chat Doctor. Last year the doctor had probably found the chest (lungs) to be clear (not the heart). You can definitely go for a second opinion but all I would say that you need not be concerned. Just give paracetamol to bring down the temperature. You may give steam inhalation which would be helpful in diluting cough if any.

Hi, My Aunty is suffering from Dengue for past 6 days. She is is being admitted to a hospital and was recovering well until yesterday. She is on saline water only for past two days and had not given any food or liquid. Her platelet count is now increasing and it is 100K as per yesterday night s test report. She has now developed swelling all along her body including on face. Her stomach is bloating for past 4 days. The attending doctor says, dengue fever effect is now reducing but she cannot comment on swelling and suggested for an ultra-sound for her stomach. Please suggest what could be the reason? shall we consult any other doctor or continue in same hospital?
|
HI, thanks for using Chat Doctor Yes, if you are not comfortable with the assessment and treatment then you can see another doctor for alternative management. The bloating is possibly due to her reduced oral intake/not eating as much. The use of medication like Pepcid or Santa along with increase food intake would probably help this. The swelling may be due to an allergic reaction to some agent or fluid retention. Fluid retention can occur in infections or if certain organs are not working as they should e.g. the liver, kidney or heart. Decreased protein levels in the body can also cause swelling. Bloods for liver function, kidney function and protein levels may help determine if any of these are present. I hope this helps

HI there I have been experiencing a strange feeling in my head like dizziness and feels like something is moving in my head. I have pain in my temples especially the right one and my face feels sore as well - this has been for 2 months now-I do not experience this when I am asleep, but when I wake up it starts and continues until I go to sleep. I went for a ct scan, it is not my sinus. I also feel pressure on my ears.
|
Hello! Thank you for your question on Chat Doctor! Regarding your concern I think your troubles are very suggesting for tension type headache. It is a common headache caused by contraction of the scalp muscles. Your normal CT scan is another argument in favor of this diagnosis. If I were your doctor I would recommend treatment with an antidepressant like amitriptyline. You must take it under medical prescription and a cardiologist consult as it can cause heart problems. Other Chat Doctor. I recommend you to take one of these

I have pain in below my knee to the outside of it. I can t tell exactly where it is because it doesn t hurt to the touch. Severe pain when I bend it backwards or lift the leg and extend it outward from the knee. Mild swelling and sometimes it s stiff and hard to bend. Small snapping noise at times when bending it. Can put pressure on it but I m walking with a limp and sometimes it gives out totally. It s been a week and it hasn t improved. I m 46 years old and play competitive hard ball still as a pitcher. What should I do?
|
Sir at your age, arthritis is one concern, but your activities could also have caused a meniscal tear. To ascertain diagnosis I would need your x-ray and an examination of your knee. In certain cases MRI is done.Meanwhile, take rest, Tab Ibuprofen 400 mg TID along with local analgesic gel application.

Please could you help with a possible explanation for a bruise on the side of a three week old baby s face. He was 5 weeks premature and had a traumatic delivery with forceps and was in special care for 2.4 weeks. Upon being discharged from SCBU, he was at home for 5 days when a bruise appeared. Could it be because he is prem? Could it be birth trauma? There is no question of parental neglect but we need to find an explanation. We would be grateful for any help you can give. Thank you.

Hi,I am 23 years old. I have cavities developed in my teeth for a very long time.Is it necessary to consult a dentist for this problem?Also recently Brown stains are being developed in between the gaps of my front bottom teeth.I dont drink,smoke or drink coffee,cold drinks.Still worried why I am getting these.Kindly suggest me solution.
|
Hello, Thank you for consulting with Chat Doctor. Yes actually for cavities you have to get it restored, otherwise it will become deep and start creating problem. The stains which you are mentioning occur because of improper brushing. And you have to get cleaning of the tooth done to remove them. Better you visit your dentist and the complete treatment done. Hope it will help you.

My husband has had an illeostomy and is due to see an oncologist on Nov3 for review as to Chemo as he has a positive in 3 of 9 Nodes. We have been doing the MMS protocol hoping to avoid Chemo or at least to lessen the treatment. Can he take the tea? He is a very healthy 72 but is not and never has been on anything other than Fish oil, Multivitamins and CoQ10 but has Cholestreol of 6.2 for wich he will possibly take medication after all this drama is over? Thankyou
|
Hi, It is good to know that your husband enjoyed 72 years if his life without any ailment. However now this diseases is here, which appear to be a bit advanced as nodes are involved. As MMS protocol is not a conventional medicine, so it will not be possible on our part to comment on its safety and interaction. These days many genetic test are available to be done on the tissue to know the aggressiveness of disease. Moreover, today's chemo are usually well tolerable, and the dose can be modified based on the tolerance. It will be my personal as well as scientific request to go ahead with chemo. The choice of chemo depend lot on his general condition.

Hi- I had an antral follicle study done yesterday. My doctor said my count was only 15. Is that bad? I am 34 years old. I have a 2 year old daughter but we having been trying for 6 months to get pregnant with a second. I did get pregnant last month but resulted in an ectopic. Am i running out of time? Thanks!

Hi, thanks for writing.11-15 astral follicle count is considered as intermediate count. More than 16 is very good count. However, you can try for natural pregnancy. If not possible get ovulation induction and become pregnant faster. Hope I have answered your queries. Good day

My 14 yr old daughter had gallbladder surgery Oct 17th and was 3 weeks prior without being able to keep food down since her original symptoms are gone but she is feeling HOT and dizzy and nearly blacking out when standing I was wondering if this could be from the GA or is this typical?
|
Hi.... this is not typical but at the same time I do not think that it is due to general anesthesia. The symptoms which your daughter is experiencing are due to autonomic imbalance. She needs evaluation for this. I suggest you consult a pediatrician regarding this or even better choice would be a pediatric Endocrinologist. Regards -

I had a gallbladder attack 9 weeks ago, I was treated with antibiotics an IV fluids for 4 days. The ultrasound shows 8mm stone and 2 more of 4mm. I am vegan and had not other attack since then. the only issue I have is slight pain under my rib cage. I wonder if that slight pain is going to go away. Doctor said that could be an internal bruise from the attack

Hi.noted history of gallstones associated with pain. Even if you're vegan now, the pain wouldn't go away if the underlying pathology (gallstones) is still there. Antibiotics will only decrease the inflammation of your gallbladder but will not dissolve the stones. It is best if you consult with a doctor with urgency, preferably a general surgeon and especially now that the symptom is persistent and bothersome, for physical examination and clinical evaluation. Diagnostics and management (medical and surgical) will be directed accordingly. Definitive treatment is cholecystectomy (surgical removal of the gallbladder), which could be done laparoscopically (gold standard) or through open technique. Hope this helps. Good day!!~ Chat Doctor.

For the past two week. I have been feeling very tired and drained. Dont have much of an appetite as well as my head feeling foggy. I tend to be slurring words a little. Sometimes i feel like i cant collect my thoughts. They come and go all the time. Its getting aggravating and also starting to worry me. Im usually very energetic and clear headed

Hello You have been feeling tired and Chat Doctor. You have also lost your appetite and also having headache. You are not able to concentrate on thoughts, and you are remaining worried due to these symptoms. There may be different causes of these symptoms, but frequently they may occur due to some nutritional deficiencies like Vitamin B12 deficiency. Low vitamin levels may be a reason behind tiredness and weakness. I would advise you to get your It B12 level checked. Other possibility that may occur is hypothyroid states. Low thyroid level may be a reason behind such symptoms. Thyroid function tests are advised in such cases. Other possibility that may be aggravated by low It B12 and thyroid levels is Depression. In milder forms of depression such symptoms may be seen. I would advise you to please visit a Psychiatrist for detailed evaluation of symptoms. Thanks

I have had some really severe stomach attachs for years. The pain starts at my belly button and goes to my stomach. I have no gallbladder and I have about 5 sec until Im hurting and bloated like Im 9 months pregnant. Alls I can do is walk and cry, sometimes I throw up and other times I get severe diarrhea. I feel like I m going to blow up and pop. It can last from 15 min to a hour or longer. I can not lay down I m in such pain, alls I can do is walk with my arms up and cry, I walk fast back and forth and move side to side. I have alot of problems with my bowels I have to take meds (Linzees 290) to use the bathroom and it is either watery or rabbit pellets. without the medicine I can go up to weeks with no bowel movement. I have had an upper and lower GI and all was good. They even did a biopsy of my stomach and colon and all was good. But I m still having the problem. It may hit once a week or more or only once a month. Any suggestion on what this can be please! I also have alot of gas no matter what I take.

Hi ! Good afternoon. I am Chat Doctor answering your query. If I were your doctor, I would advise you for some modification in your diet like more of roughage, enough liquids, avoidance of oily, fried, and fast food and also to avoid any alcoholic beverages and smoking if you do. Also, a regular routine exercises like morning walk depending on your medical fitness would also be helpful. In addition, I would also go for a CBC, serum amylase and lipase, and an LFT to rule out the chances of this being a chronic pancreatitis. An abdominal ultrasound would rule out the pathology in the liver, and a recurrent stone in the common bile duct (CBD). Till the reports of all these investigations along with the result of a clinical assessment are available, I would advise you for an anti-spasmodic and a proton pump inhibitor Chat 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. Wishing you an early recovery. Chat Doctor.

I have MS. I cannot use any of the three computers at home as the nerves in my body start to burn and buzz.Strange as it may seem, I can use my computer in work.Needless to say this doesnt make much sense. And it didnt to my consultant. Very embarrassing.Can you help?
|
That is very strange and interesting. I would start with the ergonomics of eacChatDoctorputer as ms symptoms are related to temperature and position. As I'm sure you've noticed cooler temperatures will help your symptoms. The other aspects to check would be the back support and height of the arm rests, monitor, and keyboard. Most ms symptoms come from the cervical spine which controls limb position so changes in body positions might affect you. Hope that helped

I had my gallbladder out several years ago. Have been back in the hospital several times having stones removed. Been 5 years since last eposide and had an attack yesterday. The medicine I take is Ursodiol 300mg. The doctors said there are people that have recurring stones for rest of their life. Question: Is there anything better than what I am taking also are there certain foods I should avoid.
|
You should probably have a repeat ultrasound with liver function test. If the operation was done more than 5 years ago and if it was done laparoscopic, there is a chance that a stone might form around the clip used for securing the cystic duct. The LFT will help narrow down the diagnosis too. Yeah, some patients do complain of symptoms similar to their pre-operative symptoms known as post cholecystectomy syn Chat Doctor. What you are taking now should help. Avoid oily food. Hope you get better.

I have a softish marble size lump under the skin under the labia major. Its growing in size rather quickly, isnt very painful and feels as though it can move around a little bit (like when Im checking it out to see if changes are being made). What can this be?

Hi.based from your description, it could be a cyst (possibly a Catholics). It is best if you consult with a gynecologist for physical examination and possible medical and surgical management. Hope this helps. Good day!!~ Chat Doctor.

Hello, I have been having problems with my left testicle. A year ago I was diagnosed with epididymitis and a couple hydroceles one my left testicle. The past couple months I have been having weird sensations as if between my oblique and abdomen all the way down to my anus is tender. Couple days ago I climaxed during sex and my testicle appeared on top of my pubic bone and since then I have had swelling of the left testicle and a continuous pain. I was thinking hernia
|
Thanks for asking in Chat Doctor forum In short: As you were diagnosed with epididymitis and HY Chat Doctor. But for now if you have the same feeling it might have recurred. Feeling of your testis near pubic bone, suggests retractile testis. Retractile testis is prone to torsion, so visit a surgeon for examination and further suggestion.

Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ? Please type your query here... Hi, i have a question, I was just release from the hospital with a blood clot. It was located on my right leg in the upper thigh part. I had to take a long trip and while on my trip my right upper butt has knot and is warm to touch and hurts very badly. I was wondering if it could be a blood clot. It hurts to walk sleep and bascially anything I do.
|
Hi, Dear Good Evening, and thanks for the query to Chat Doctor. Cause of the painful lump in the buttocks-I studied your query and understood your health concerns. In my opinion the buttocks painful lump is due to the boil -infected hair follicle, post long trip stress to the right upper butt area.It's definitely not a blood clot-as its sore and painful to touch. To avoid any further septic complications from it -I would advise you to consult an ER Surgeon ASAP. Hope this would help in planning treatment with you Doctor. Welcome for any further query in this regard. Plz write a Good Review-without fail, as it would help other patients coming to Chat Doctor. With Regards. Chat Doctor. N.

Hi, My daughter is 5 years old. She has been suffering from haemophilus influenza vaginitis as well as strep in her vagina. She has been on 10 different antibiotics, including Keflex. She has been examined under anaesthetic. Nothing was found. Doctors dont now why she is not responding to the treatment. They want to keep her on Keflex and Bactroben. However, nothing is working. What shell I do?
|
Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. She has vaginitis with HI influenza and strep. She has already used 10 different antibiotics and not responding to treatment. So the best thing is to go for sensitivity test. It will give you exact antibiotics effective against her infection. Then she should take treatment accordingly. Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Wish you a very good health.

I am tiied all the time and suffer from a brain injury that ocured 3yrs ago. My family doctors just asked me if anyone had checked or let me know that my iron level was very low. Could this be causing seizures and cause problems with seizure meds. For the past 3yr years they are still trying to find the right seiaue combinationl My brain injury was caused by shingles on my face above lip. Virus traveled up through nasal passage to brain, could be see some what by looking at eyes. Aura starts with colourful crystal and spins really fast if its going to go into bad seizure.

Hi, may First the reason for the below list. I have several issues and I want to make sure I don t forget anything I wanted to explain to the doctor. Second is a warning on my underwear choice. I am a man who wears womens underwear. This may shock both the nurse and the doctor and I felt that this needed to be brought forward before my appointment. With this said and done her is my Reasons why I am here in order of importance: 1) My mouth and teeth are in pain. I fully understand that the VA has regulations on Dental care, but I believe my mouth, and teeth need to be addressed. Although I do understand that my Primary doctor can not evaluate this issue I am hoping he may be able to refer me to the correct doctor. Does this make sense? 2) My skin is peeling badly. Very very badly and I need this looked at. Not only are my legs flacking but also my stomache and my feet. 3) My back, although I suspect is also flacking is also very very itchy and painful at times and I have a 24/7 itcChatDoctorming from various ares and even with a scrath it does not help much. If anything it helps only briefly and causes more itching and some discomfort. 4) Last item is a combo of two things. First is a major case of jock itch and I suspect that has something to do with my growths on my groin area that I have addressed in the past, but that is of course the doctors diadnosis. I also have a anal fisure-sic- that I have had for years and is not causing me to not only itch but causing pain and major discomfort. This dang thing needs to be banded and removed. IMO I answer your

I have been having terrible headaches with neck and shoulder pain and was recently diagnosed with chiari malformation 1. Doctors have tried many different medications to help with pain. I have had bad reactions to some and the others haven t worked at all. My doctor has run out of ideas and wanted to put me on antidepressants to see if that would help but i declined because i don t suffer from depression. He has now decided to go with trying vitamins to get it under control but of course the vitamins are causing me problems with nausea. I was wondering if medical marijuana could help me considering I have so many problems with regular medications. I m not sure if it is even a possibility in my state but I would like to know anyway. Thank you

Thank you for using Chat Doctor. The management of Arnold Chiara malformation includes meds to alleviate pain and surgery if required at the discretion of the neurosurgeon. This may necessitate a few radiological imaging techniques also. Please consult a neurosurgeon for evaluation and further management.

My wife feels to urinate contineously from today evening. Is there anything wrong to undergo an urgent medical attention? Please advise me

Hello, Increased frequency of urination AMD dysuria are symptoms of UTI.However, the treatment modality depends on if this episode is first of its kind or a repeated episode. Recurrent UTI about 4-5 times yearly needs higher medical evaluation preferably by a urologist.However, if this is a first episode a visit to your family physician with a urinary examination and treatment accordingly should solve the problem.

Hi, I am 50 years old, 6 foot tall and weigh 94kg. I am on heart medication as I had a heart attack 6 years ago. I am also on thyroxine for an underactive thyroid. My recent semen analysis shows a motile sperm count of 1.9 million. This is based on: semen volume 2ml, ph 7.9, forward progressive sperm 40%, percentage abnormal sperm 89%, sperm count 21 million per ml and incomplete liquefaction after one hour. All my hormone levels were tested and were in the normal range. (FSH, LH, Prolactin & testosterone) A urologist examined my scrotum and prostate via a physical examination and both appeared normal. Can you offer any advice? I do not wish to proceed down the IVF route and Im particularly concerned about my percentage abnormal sperm and the incomplete liquefaction.
|
Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor . According to your report your sperm motility is also less along with liquefaction delay and abnormal sperms are more. I suggest you to go for GUI. It is intrauterine ingestion of sperms. Here sperms are washed and processed, and healthy sperms are placed in uterus. So only good sperms are used. This increases chances of conception. You may go for 4 to 5 cycles of GUI before proceeding to IVF. Hope I have been helpful. Regards Chat Doctor.

### Question: Hi, I am 50 years old, 6 foot tall and weigh 94kg. I am on heart medication as I had a heart attack 6 years ago. I am also on thyroxine for an underactive thyroid. My recent semen analysis shows a motile sperm count of 1.9 million. This is based on: semen volume 2ml, ph 7.9, forward progressive sperm 40%, percentage abnormal sperm 89%, sperm count 21 million per ml and incomplete liquefaction after one hour. All my hormone levels were tested and were in the normal range. (FSH, LH, Prolactin & testosterone) A urologist examined my scrotum and prostate via a physical examination and both appeared normal. Can you offer any advice? I do not wish to proceed down the IVF route and Im particularly concerned about my percentage abnormal sperm and the incomplete liquefaction.

Hi, my husband is on his way back from Asia, having spent the last week in Kuala Lumpur. Since Friday, he has been experiencing chest pain on his right side. He cannot take deep breaths, yawn, cough or laugh. He says that the pain comes back right side deep under his rib cage and the top left back. He had a massage on back to side (not sure what he means by that) and says that helped. He had the massage within the last 24 hours. He will be arriving home in about 2 1/2 hours and I am wondering whether to take him straight to the hospital considering he has had this pain for the last 48 hours. He has been taking Voltaren every six hours.

Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Since his pain is improving with massage, possibility of musculoskeletal pain is more. So don't take him directly to the hospital. First follow these steps for better symptomatic relief in musculoskeletal pain. 1. Ask him to avoid movements causing pain. 2. Ask him to avoid heavyweight lifting and strenuous exercise. 3. Ask him to avoid bad postures in sleep. 4. Ask him to sit with proper back and chest support. 5. Apply warm water pad on affected areas. Don't worry, he will mostly recover with all these in 2-3 days. If not improving then consult doctor and get done x-ray of spine. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your husband. Thanks.

I randomly get a flutter in the middle of my chest. It almost feels like a fish flipped flopped inside me. The flutter is not accompanied by any pain, but I do feel it takes by breath away. I have had numerous EGKs done and they have are been normal. The flutter, could that be a muscle that is just spasaming?
|
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. No need to worry about cardiac diseases because your multiple ECG s are normal. Possibility of involuntary muscular contractions is more in your case. Common causes for this are low calcium and magnesium level. So get done serum calcium and magnesium level. If deficiency than you need supplements. If both are normal than sometimes stress and anxiety can also cause fluttering sensation in chest. So avoid stress and tension. Be relax and calm. Don't worry, you will be alright. First rule out calcium and magnesium deficiency. Hope I have solved your query. Wish you good health. Thanks.

Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. Renerve plus injection contain vitamin B12. Your mother may have vitamin B12 deficiency anemia. So she should take injectable vitamin B12. It will help to increase hemoglobin. Consult your doctor and complete the course of vitamin B12 injection accordingly. Hope I have answered your question, if you have any doubts then contact me at bit.ly/ Chat Doctor. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Wish you a very good health.

I am 37, female, 5 4 and weigh 170 lbs. I have been on atinolol 100mg for approximately six years. Last year my blood pressure started rising again to 130/115. My Dr added another med. Macardis 80 mg daily. This week my BP has started rising again. (140/115) My Dr checked my thyroid last year and said everything was fine. He did not know why my BP was rising again. I have started walking 2 miles a day and have lost 30 lbs in the last two mths. What is going on?
|
Hello, Your diastolic BP is higher comparatively and is recommended for you to stop atenolol and switch to another Chat Doctor. And considering your age BP can be controlled with another group of anti-hypertension

Hi there, How long do you have to be taking Noriday contraceptive pill to be protected if you dont start taking it the first day of your period initially. I started taking it at another time in the month but took it for 7 days straight before I had unprotected sex, am I covered? Regards, Laura
|
Hello, and I hope I can help you today. Typically, women are advised to start birth control pills within seven days of their last menstrual period because it is unlikely that she would've already ovulated at that time. If you start the pill later in your cycle, the process initiates ovulation may have already begun and your body may produce an egg that is capable of being fertilized that cycle. However, even if you ovulated right when you started to take the pill, it is unlikely that the egg would still be viable to be fertilized after seven days. Therefore, waiting seven days before having unprotected intercourse most likely was enough time to ensure that you would not become pregnant. Modern pregnancy tests will become positive within 10 days to two weeks after conception, so if you do not have a menstrual period at the end of your pill pack, you should perform a urine pregnancy test to be safe. However, if you start your pill later than one week after the start of your period, you may not actually bleed the first month during the pill free week. I hope that I was able to adequately answer your question today, and that this information was reassuring. Best wishes,

My brother, who is 61 yr old, recently became feeling very faigued at the end of the day and had developed a cough. He went to dr and had chest x-ray. It was noted that he had some enlargement of his heart on one side and he was referred for ECHO, cath, etc. It was found his main artery in his heart had 100% blockage and his heart was only operating at 15%..he had evidently had a massive heart attack some time and didn t even know it. His cardiologist did not feel he was a candidate for surgery, as the risk would be too great. He only offered a defibrillator and pacemaker and Plavix. Would you feel a second opinion at a thoracic surgeon would be in order? Would a no-pump by pass be possible?
|
Hello and thanks for writing. I can understand your concern and would try to help you in the best possible way. Your cardiologist is right that any procedure would be more damaging to your brother as his heart is functioning at a very low level. As far as surgery is concerned his low EF already makes him a very high risk candidate for surgery. He has correctly advised you for an ICD as the major threat to his life is an arrhythmia that tends to occur more with weak hearts. This would be taken care of by ICD. He has also put him on anti platelets that would prevent any further heart attacks. You have to understand that your brother now requires utmost care and various lifestyle modifications including:1. Total fluid intake should not exceed 1.2 L per day.2. His urine output should be aerial to his fluid intake to prevent any fluid from collecting in the body.3. He should restrict his salt intake to less than 2300 mg per day.4. He should have a low fat low salt diet. Consult a dietician for a detailed diet plan.5. He should restrict his activity and avoid strenuous work. But that does not mean that he should be confined to bed. He can take regular walks and other light exercises. You may consult a CTVS surgeon and consult regarding the possibility of a surgery.

Hi thanks for asking question. You have bloody stool in the past. It may be due to amoebic or shell dysentery. You have diagnosed non-specific colitis, and now you have no problem. So nothing to worry about it. This bloody stool may be because of typhoid ulcer bleed or dysentery. So just now you just do your stool examination for further confirmation. Avoid excess spicy food for few days. Chat Doctor. So just now no worry. If symptoms appear again then we will decide about to whether start treatment or not. Thanks. I hope I have solved your query.

i went to statcare yesterday with what i was thinking was a uti. they did a test and found nothing in my urine. i am haveing lots of pressure making me feel like i have to pee and i also have some lower back pain and abdominal pain too. can u help me? i started a antibiotic yesterday for uti , even thought the test were neg.
|
Hi. Thanks for your query. You have not mentioned the tests which have been done. Since you have got a symptom of urge to urinate along with pain in the lower back and abdomen, this has to be taken as a case of UTI. I would advise you the following:Tests of the -Blood for CBC Urine to be sent for routine again and also for culture and sensitivity. Ultrasonography for evaluation of the urinary tract and also to see if there are stones and to rule out other problems in pelvis which can cause symptoms like UTI. Continue antibiotics for 3 weeks if UTI is found. Chat Doctor. Treatment of any associated problems. Urologists opinion and examination will enlighten on the more of a diagnosis. I hope you are not suffering from stress and anxiety as there can be urge, but there is no actual UTI.

Lymph nodes enlarges when therein infection. For this I will suggest you to consult oral surgeon for examination of lymph nodes. Hope this will help you.

Recently I have been tachycardic (120s-130s), shortness of breath, green stool today (with no ingestion of anything green in days. I had an echocardiogram yesterday and am having a stress test on Monday. I will speak to my cardiologist Monday afternoon for results of both tests. Any ideas?
|
Hello! Welcome on Chat Doctor! I carefully passed through your question and would explain that it is important performing a comprehensive differential diagnosis between different causes that may lead to this symptomatology: - a gastrointestinal hemorrhage, causing acute anemia. I would recommend performing a stool analysis for the presence of blood and a bacterial culture of your stool to test for possible infection- a lung X-ray study and respiratory function tests to exclude possible lung disorder. - some blood lab tests (complete blood count, PCR, sedimentation rate, kidney and liver function tests, blood electrolytes). - an abdominal ultrasound An ambulatory 24-48 hours ECG monitoring would help examine your heart rhythm trends for a prolonged time. I would be happy to review all your cardiac performed tests for another professional opinion. Hope to have been helpful! Kind regards,

hello doctor my father had a heart attack some days ago. what are the different suggestion for him ? his medicines are frusilac, ranozex,nitrocontin 2.6,asomex, aztor 40, zolfresh,ecosprin 75,pantocid 40,vaalzar 40. he is a patient of hypertension. pressure normally stays with in the range of 160-100.

These medicines take care of heart attack and hypertension too. So keep regular BP monitoring and charting, if persistently high and patient is symptomatic, it requires dose adjustment. If your father was hypertensive before heart attack, the reason for hypertension should be sought. Consel your father, he will do better with medicines.

Hi, my name is Renee and on the 4th of October I received a steroid shot for my asthma. Well I was expecting my period 3 days ago and I am still yet to get it. I am not sexually active, I do not do drugs, Ive just been taking the z-pack my doctor gave to me along with One A Day vitamins, what could have caused this?
|
Hi, Short course of steroids - 3 to 5 days are recommended in acute exacerbations of asthma. However, single dose is generally not recommended in such conditions. There are many triggers for asthma attacks like seasonal changes, allergens, pollutants, dust, infections, etc. Regards

I have a friend who is having a lot of health problems. She experiences stomach cramps, abdomen pain, and shivers. Right now, shes sitting in a bed, unable to move. She has been to doctors before about it but they all said it was stress. I think its something more. What do you think?
|
Hi, Thanks for writing to Chat Doctor. It can be either due to stress induced gastritis or pancreatitis or urinary tract infection or if all test results are normal then can be even due to irritable bowel syn Chat Doctor. Get an ultrasound abdomen, if not taken already, as it will help rule out many conditions, also get a complete blood count and a urine routine test to look for any infection. If they show something, then consult a physician. If normal, start on a high fiber diet with lots of fruits.

I just had a hysterectomy with repair of cystocele and rectocele almost 3 days ago. I am 32 and have been walking as much as possible per doctor orders. However, I am having what feels like back labor pains as well as a heavy pressure under my sternum. I do not have a gallbladder as well. Are these pains normal with this type of surgery? Should I be concerned or just see if it will pass?
|
Back pain may follow post operative. Sternal region pain should be examined by physician. Back muscle strengthening exercises, rest,hot fomentation, firm bed rest may help

I cracked my neck accidentally for the first time and experienced severe pain directly afterwards. It severely hurts to turn my head from side to side or up and down. What can I do to stop the pain? I took Excedrin but that didn t help. I work as a nurses aide which requires a lot of physical movement and I work tomorrow. Is it necessary I see a doctor? Will I be okay to work? When will this pain stop?
|
Hello, Your symptoms seem to be related to a muscle strain in the neck. I suggest doing a neck X-ray ti exclude a fracture. Meanwhile, I suggest using anti-inflammatory medications such as Excel Chat Doctor. I also suggest using a splint to prevent further damage. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Hello,I am a 21 yr old male. I have a semi soft lump about an inch or so in size. It is located on my lower back right above the point of my hip. My father has had a lipoma remvoed that was on his waist line. My lower back has also been subject to trauma from being a college wrestler. Any idea about what it is?
|
Hi, Thanks for asking. Based on your clinical history and query, my opinion is as follows:1. A semi soft lump, which moves easily is possibly a lipoma.2. Get a Fine needle aspiration cytology of the lump done for confirmation.3. If It's lipoma, it's a slow growing lesion, and you can get it operated anytime. It will rule out other causes and give you peace of mind. Hope it helps. Any further queries, happy to help again.

Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ? Please type your query here...My daughter suffered two anaphylactic attacks 4 days apart about two and half weeks ago. Ever since then her skin has been blotchy, pale and almost looking mottled. Can you tell me why?
|
Pale and blotchy skin commonly accompanies anaphylaxis reactions. I think you don't need to panic about that. It will improve by its own . The more serious thing is why she is developing anaphylaxis episodes. That need to be fined out as soon as possible. And prompt action should be taken so that we can save her from future anaphylaxis.

My daughter tested with high liver enzymes 4months ago and then tested for causes such as hep. A B AND C. Wilsons ect. . . All negative. We retested her blood for liver enzymes and they have doubled in 4 months time.we have an appointment again with a specialist who gave her an ultrasound 4 months ago wich. Was showing her liver looking fine. What should i be doing or what could this be?
|
Well you didn't mention how old your daughter is. Elevated enzymes can be sign of any liver damage or bile duct disorder. If she doesn't have any symptoms then you shouldn't be worried. Usually when no cause is found then autoimmune hepatitis needs to be considered. Just often do examination and check enzymes levels, if any symptoms occur then further tests such as liver biopsy and CT must be done. Wish you good health

My mother past away February 10th. Its been the hardest thing I ve had to go threw! My father has been married to my mother Jeannine Russow for 34 years. She shot herself in the temple It went in the right side an came outa the middle of the front part of her head. I got the call at 4:30 am its killing me inside I don t no how to deal myself an my dads loosing his mind!!! I m the youngest of three girls. Even being the youngest I m the rock to the family everyone comes to me! Its a tough position an not sure how to keep that roll at this time!!! Please help me help my father? He won t go get help in any way no pills or anything! He watched her do it an he cought her in his arms she used a 44 an he replays it in his head over an over!!!

Hello I am sorry about your mother. She shot herself in last month and your father has witnessed it. It was a married life of 34 years. So It's natural to have such of grief reaction. Grief reaction like low mood, crying spells, not accepting incident, de realization etc. is considered as normal to some extent. But you have mentioned that he replays the incident in his head, he is losing his mind. This is not normal. Try to talk with him and explore if there is any suicidal intention. Closely watch him and give warm supportive care. It has been about 40 days of your mothers' death, so such levels of grief are not acceptable. He may develop Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. I advise you to take him to a Psychiatrist ASAP for immediate control of his symptoms. You have mentioned that you are also feeling low to some extent. But if this is not affecting your occupational and social life then its acceptable. Try to help your father, he needs help from you. Thanks

He won t go get help in any way no pills or anything! He watched her do it an he cought her in his arms she used a 44 an he replays it in his head over an over!!!
### Answer: Hello I am sorry about your mother. She shot herself in last month and your father has witnessed it. It was a married life of 34 years. So It's natural to have such of grief reaction. Grief reaction like low mood, crying spells, not accepting incident, de realization etc. is considered as normal to some extent. But you have mentioned that he replays the incident in his head, he is losing his mind. This is not normal. Try to talk with him and explore if there is any suicidal intention. Closely watch him and give warm supportive care. It has been about 40 days of your mothers' death, so such levels of grief are not acceptable. He may develop Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. I advise you to take him to a Psychiatrist ASAP for immediate control of his symptoms. You have mentioned that you are also feeling low to some extent. But if this is not affecting your occupational and social life then its acceptable. Try to help your father, he needs help from you. Thanks

I was eating an apple recently and felt pain when I bit into the apple. I thought I had cut my gums on the bottom front. Now my gums in between my bottom front teeth are sort of loose looking, almost like they are not attached to the teeth and my teeth and gums are sore.

Hello, You may have some periodontal disease. Rinse with warm salt water. Make sure nothing is stuck under your gum. Practice good oral hygiene with brushing, rinsing and flossing. Gently massage gum area. You can cause strain to the periodontal ligament that holds the root onto the bone socket when you incise. Please avoid chewing and stress to this area. Take some anti-inflammatory medication for pain relief and to reduce any accompanying inflammation. Medications include Tylenol and Advil. Keep well HY Chat Doctor. Prescription rinses with chlorhexdine gluconate may be helpful to healing. Schedule a dental exam and cleaning. Can you see tartar buildup on your teeth? There may be sublingual tartar buildup. Your dentist will probe your gums and evaluate for periodontal disease. Gingivitis can have swollen gums with increased probings. Periodontal disease will include bone loss and additional treatment recommendations. Maintain routine dental visit at least two times a year. Thank you for your inquiry. I hope my suggestions are helpful and offer you some relief.

Dear Sir, I am a circumcised male in my 20s, I have refrained from sexual activity for more than 2 months and have experienced slight enlargement in the penis and the testis due to vaso-congestion. This has lead to the skin of my penis to become overstretched and during masturbation the frenulum was not torn but the part under the glans became red in general with white color in the middle and no bleeding occurred at any stage. Will the inflamed frenulum ever fully heal turning into non scar tissue and to go back to the original state? or will the scar tissue always remain? Would any of this reduce the penis size? What are signs of infection?
|
Thanks for asking in Chat Doctor forum In short: Temperature around it may cause increase and decrease in size of scrotum and penis. Explanation: Usually in winter as the muscles of scrotum contracts to put your scrotum attached to the body you may feel its size has decreased and opposite happens in summer. So, don't think about this. But, for your frenulum tear/injury don't masturbate that roughly to cause tear. Give rest to it and it will heal automatically. You can apply point tobramycin locally for time being. Visit a doctor to examine and diagnose your problem properly. Good luck

Can a wrist bone spur be treated with daily 500 mg calcium intake and 10 min daily sun exposure along with ice application on the spur and intake of turmeric and ginger over a period of say 6-10 months ?If not , if there any other natural removal solution other than the surgical procedures ?
|
Thanks for contacting ChatDoctorYour question resolves around a bone spur in your wrist and whether taking natural supplements can make the spur resolve. Bone spurs are natural growths of calcium along bone prominence areas. I see these spurs and I counsel my patient to try anti-inflammatories to reduce the pain. There are no medications or natural remedies that help dissolve the spur. Sometimes if the spur reduces the range of motion or cause significant pain then surgery to remove the spur is suggested. Hope this answers your question. Please contact us again with your questions.

I have a strong history of breast and uterine cancer on my paternal side and would like to get genetic testing done but my PCM says Im not at higher risk since its on my fathers side (my father died from colon cancer). I recently had an ultrasound done that showed a cyst on my left ovary but have been told thats normal. I am 53 years old, no menopause yet, never given birth. Should I be tested for BRCA 1 and 2? The paternal side: grandmother ovarian cancer and two aunts breast cancer all deceased.
|
Hello madam , Thanks for full details u mentioned to evaluate the problem u had. As your paternal side grandmother and aunt suffered with breast cancer and ovarian cancer indicates they are your second/third degree relatives. For BRA 1 & BRA 2 either maternal or paternal side your are under high risk for inheriting the gene. Thus go for BRA 1 & BRA 2 testing. As u not attended menopause and u had no children thus which increases your general risk of developing cancer apart from gene defect. Thus, i advice to go for yearly screening apart from BRA gene screening.

Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ? Please type your query here...Hello sir,My doctor has said that I have caries in my very last bottom teeth & also the teeth is little slant i.e the teeth is not straight like others & that teeth is laying down on adjacent teeth from top. Hence extraction is the only solution to this disease. Although i am not having severe pain : i feel cold only; no pain nothing is there. My doctor says it is beginning only & the infection has not reached to its bottom.I dont want to go for teeth extraction? What do you suggest????
|
Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query. The decayed tooth might be a wisdom tooth, that is non-functional, If it is in a normal position then we can restore it and save it. If it is not in a normal position and if it is troubling the adjacent tooth, there is no meaning in keeping that tooth. It might get infected, or it can damage the adjacent tooth also. So it's better to get the tooth removed under local anesthesia. Consult an oral and maxillofacial surgeon and get it removed. I hope my answer will help you, take care.

Hi Dr Samuel - for the last number of years I ve had a number of short (once or twice a year) intense shooting pain in my left arm and left side of my head which lasts about a second. Over the last few months this has increased to a nearly daily occurrence. any ideas?
|
Hi, thank-you for providing the brief history of you. A thorough clinical examination is advised. As the shooting and shock appearance of the pain is more of a neuropathic and needs an attention. Since the history suggest about the one side limb pain and also the head pain, I will advise you to get a thorough neurological examination done and also an MRI later of either the brain or the cervical region. As post thorough neuromuscular examination and by understanding the MRI reports we can come to a conclusion. Also, we need to know if there is any motor functions compromise or not. As this will be a major area of concern. Regards Jay In Chat Doctor.

|
Thank you for your question. The pain you describe can be caused by a variety of reasons including: ovarian cysts, ovulation, endometriosis, or constipation among many other possibilities. I would suggest being evaluated by your OB/GUN or family doctor. Going through menopause is less likely than other possible causes.

You are having complex partial seizures, and you have to take levetiracetam. If seizures persist then increase dose or add an another anti-epileptic like oxcarbaxepine. You are 28 week pregnant, so period of organogenesis already have passed. Do an namely scan Hope my advice will help you. Take care. Don't forget to rate me.

hello doctor, Can i use Monocef 50mg oonly for kid tablet for my daughter. she is 20 months old with 27pound. she is having bad dermatitis everywhere on her body except face. Her pediatric prescribed hydrocortisone butrate since last 4 months we are using same cream but of no use. Monocef is prescribed by family doctor from our country.we live outside.could you please respond to my question. Will be very much helpful.
|
HelloDermatitis can be allergic or infective in origin. HY Chat Doctor. Antibiotic is needed in infective dermatitis. Long term dermatitis is usually due to allergic or other causes not due to infection. For me, it does not appear to be infective dermatitis, so there is no need of antibiotic. Monomer contains ceftriaxone and it is an injectable antibiotic. It is not available in oral form. Monocef-o contains cefuroxime protein, and it is available in tab form. Even if antibiotic is needed Monocef-o is not a very good choice. Most of the skin infections occur due to infection of staphylococcus. Amoxicillin or amoxicillin with clavulanate is a better choice. Dose of monocef-o is 10-15 mg/kg/day in two divided dosage. I would suggest you to consult a skin specialist for reevaluation of the condition and management accordingly.

Reclothe treatment of VSD depends on its size, any associated valvular leak, the severity of pulmonary hypertension, frequency of respiratory illness and growth of the baby. Perimembranous VSD of small size usually gets closed as the child grows. I request you to attach the report so that I better able to help you out. Regards

Hello approximately 6 years ago i had my first bout of Cellulitus (sp?) and ended up being hospitalized for 2 months . since that time I have had a numbr of additional bouts and sometimes end up in the hospital for shortr amounts of time or am fortunate to catch it at in time to be prescribed antibiotics and am able to stay at home while recouperating. A friend of mine who has also recently revealed that she has experienced Cellulius as well and has been treated with Ichthammoll ointment and hot and cold revulsion compression therapy to be healed. Can you tell me more about this later option...the Ichthammol ointment with the revulsion compression?
|
Hi, Cold compression therapy is usually used to reduce pain, inflammation or after surgery. It works on the principal of rest & ice, compression & elevation to reduce pain. It reduces the temperature of the tissues thus reducing the metabolic rate. Cold therapy is a combination of cryotherapy & static compression. Tissue at lower temperature reduces pain, inflammation & protects tissues from damage. Adjustable elastic wraps & other wraps are available in protective layers so that ice is not directly applied. Application of hot & cold compression results in increased blood circulation & hence good health. Too much cold compression can lead to frostbite, so get connected with the PCP or physiotherapist. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

My 3yr old had her preschool physical today and the doctor found bilirubin and traces of blood in her urine what does that mean? She also needed a hemoglobin test for school but when I got the discharge papers it also had lab requests for red and white blood count and I think plasma test? Is this something I should be worried about
|
Some Red blood cells are always found in urine. Less than 5 cells is normal. If persisting more than 5 RBC are found in urine child has to be evaluated for hematuria. Repeat urine routine after 10 days if the RBC in urine is more than 5 do a blood urea, creatinine and ultrasonography PUB. Also, urine 24 calcium excretion is required to be measured... If there is persisting hematuria in urine report its concerning.

Hi, As per the history I do not think this should be anything major. But it is always advised to get it physically checked by an orthopedist so if any doubts are there taking to major issue can get removed. Usually bruises might occur post surgery but in the initial stages and not the latter stages. Also, the pain coming depends on how better the post hip replacement rehabilitation was performed. Sometimes due to muscle weakness some people develop some pain due to wasting of muscles and over strain of it. But again with a physical examination by the orthopedist and exercise things go well. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Jay In Chat Doctor.
