i hate a hard bump along my back molars. it starts by the back molar and goes up to the third molar. it has been getting bigger for months now, to the point i can t wear my retainer because it gets in the way. HELP! I m 21, could this be cancer?
Hi, it is very difficult to comment on the diagnosis without examining the bump. I advise you not to panic. Please consult a dentist for complete oral examination. It may be an abscess or a bony swelling. You must go for a biopsy to know the exact diagnosis. Please do not delay and go for examination and investigations as soon as possible. Wish you all the best!

My six year old woke up screaming during the night and in great discomfort. Had a pain behing his pubic area and one of his testicle was nowhere to be found. Went up somewhere. His movement is alot better now, i.e. walking and going to the toilet but still not as bouncy as he should be. Should we take him to hospital or just see how he goes for the rest of the day?
Yes you should take in to hospital. Is there any redness or increased temperature near scrotum?? Your son needs to be evaluated for torsion of testis, infection , abdominal testes. If testes are abdominal they need to be brought in scrotum there is chance that they might turn into malignant. Torsion of testes needs immediate surgical intervention.

hi i would like to ask what are my chances that i could be pregnant i had clomid 25mg for 3 days last april 16 but didnt work and my fertility doc ask me to take another cycle started 6 may til 10 may..then i had blood test 13 may tested i ovulated over the weekend.we had sex 8 of may and 10,11 of may. what are my chances?thanks
Hi, Thanks for the query. As you had ovulation and had unprotected intercourse around that time ovulation, the possibility of pregnancy is there. If you had intercourse within 24 hours or before 24 hours of ovulation, the chance of pregnancy is more. Start taking folic acid prophylaxis from now onwards. And if you miss the expected date of periods, go for pregnancy test once. For more details you can ask me through: http://www.ChatDoctor .com/doctors/ Chat Doctor.

in sep 2012 i had undergone a root canal in my lower molar tooth..everything went well.. bt in march 2013 i noticed an abscess lump on the side of the root canal treated , (gum ) the pain was agonizing and then i conslted a dentist, he prescribed sme anti biotics, n pain killers ,, i had them for almost a week n now d pain is gone . the lump is also gone.. bt now i have a hard swelling right there on rct treated tooth,, the swelling feels in d bone n its is nt painful bt is tender,,, is it dangerous ...?? wt shud i do ?? am i d first one to experience this problm??
Hi, Thanks for asking the query, Tooth pain along with swelling indicates infection of the tooth that had spread to the periapical tissues leading to formation of abscess. After successful root canal treatment the tooth is completely devitalized, so there are no chances of pain and infection. I would suggest you to visit to the concerned Dentist take an x-ray of the tooth, depending upon which the treatment will be extraction or reject. Start with tab Amoxiclav and tab Aerosol twice for three days. Take lukewarm saline gargles 3-4 times and antiseptic mouthwash gargles twice daily. Hope this helps out. Regards....

sir,i have a female patient 45 yrs old, who presentd with altered mental status and generalized tonic clonic fits . her CT SCAN showed a hypodense area in rt parietal lobe . post contrast findings were similar to plain scan. Radiologist labelled that hypodense area as CSF GLIOSIS . plz explain what is this disase and what is its treatment.
Hi, First generalized tonic-clonic seizures and altered mental state is a medical emergency. She should be in intensive care unit for stabilization. Gloss is a proliferation of astrocytes (type of non-neural brain cells) in damaged areas of the central nervous system (CNS). It does not indicate cause of problem. For treatment, she should be stabilized, treated for seizures, monitored for sensorial, investigated for cause of lesion and treated according to cause. I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you. Wish you Good Health.

I have been feeling weird, for a little bit now. Every time I try and go to sleep I lay down, then feel all of a sudden like I m getting liteheaded and like I m going to die. It doesn t feel like my usual panic attacks, and it happens very offten. I even start to get tunnel vision, and feel a sharp pain in my stomach. I want to be sure if I should got to the hospital for this and what it might be.
Hello Nicoletta, There is no doubt in my mind that you need to go to a hospital ASAP and get yourself assessed. Yes, it could be a panic attack; some of your symptoms are certainly suggestive of a panic attack. However, a panic disorder is diagnosed only after ruling out other medical causes of the symptoms. In your case, there could be an endocrine (hormonal) or cardiac cause of your symptoms, or it could be something else. It will require assessment by a medical specialist and some investigations before an organic cause can either be diagnosed or ruled out. Saiph

My toe next to my big toe is red and irritated. It felt this way 6 months ago and then my toe nail went completely black and has not gotten normal. While I was walking today this pain started again. It maybe that it is raw from my 6 mile walk. I thought the black nail was from me excercising in sneakers with too long a toe nail and it bruised my toe bed. BUT That Does NOT Seem so.
Hi, thank you for providing the brief history of you. A thorough clinical musculoskeletal examination is advised. I will advise you to check your Blood glucose levels. Also, such discoloration of the skin occurs due to venous insufficiency and can be corrected by thorough examination. RegardsJay In Chat Doctor.

My friend sent me a list of the following symptoms that she has: fever shaking cause im cold hurts to move cause im frozen puking headache stuffed up nose throat hurts ribs hurt belly hurts i have electric shocks trough my body eyes hurt hurts everywhere. even my feetshe said she also has yellow saliva.Any idea what this is?
Hi thanks for asking question. Here mostly your friend suffering from acute infection. Mostly acute sore throat. Yellow saliva can be due to exhaled cough that might give yellow color. Here better to do investigation for CBC and X RAY CHEST first for preliminary work up. If in CBC total count high with necrophilia acute bacterial infection most likely, for that antibiotic has to be taken. It is better to start antibiotic prophylactically even though it comes viral infection by elevated lymphocytes in CBC. Possibilities of pneumonia less, but x-ray will rule out it whether any consolidation or pleural effusion present or not.Meanwhile, maintain your immunity with more water, fruits and healthy diet. I hope my suggestion will help you. If still problem then further investigation is done.

I am a heart transplant patient (8 yrs). I thought I had a heart attack about a month ago, called the paramedics, went to ER, spent overnight in hospital. I had 5 before transplant and this seemed very much like the previous ones except the paramedics gave me 4 aspirins in transit. However, since there was no significant change in cardiac enzymes, thjy said no. I am still very weak, feel fatigued, and it changed my vision to the point of needing new glasses. What should I do?
Hello, Thanks for writing to Chat Doctor, I am Chat Doctor. Your symptoms DO NOT sound like that of anything related to heart problem, plus you underwent a complete checkup and no heart issues were detected so in my opinion you should not worry about heart anymore. Now coming to your active issues that is fatigue and change of vision. Yes heart issues can cause fatigue, but it CAN NOT cause change in vision, as we have already ruled out heart issues so this fatigue and change of vision is because of something else. After a transplant the patient does take high potency immune suppressant medication which keeps you protected from heart damage, these immune suppressants have multiple side effects fatigue and damage to eyes is very common among them, you are probably suffering from those side effects. I would advise you not to panic about the heart issues but visit your doctor to discuss possible causes of fatigue and eye site problems other than the heart. I hope this answered your question, If you have more queries I am happy to answer you. Regards.

there is a knot right below my shoulderblades on the right side of my spine it feels like a hard ball a little smaller than a marble. I ve had back pain after i jarred my back about a year ago and its caused. pain near the said area. ever since. the jarring. what could it be
Hi, thank you for providing the brief history of you. A thorough clinical examination is advised. As you have pain under the shoulder blade, it looks more of a muscle spasm and posture correction. Due to abnormal posture there will be a possibility of inter scapular muscle spasm leading to knots. Treatment:Physical therapy in my clinical practice has been helpful to many of patients. Physical therapy includes - therapeutic ultrasound therapy, TENS therapy and exercises. Regards Jay In Chat Doctor.

ALT showed higher than normal in two previous analysis; the first was in June 2010 and it was 62. The second was around 10 days ago and it was 97. I went to another lab yesterday and had Bilirubin total (0.72), AST (25), ALT (49), Albumin (4.20), and LDH (199) which are all in normal ranges. Except GGT which was 128 and marked as high. After the second analysys of the ALT (10 days ago) the doctor prescribed a medicine called "Essential Forte" which contains phospholipids from soy beans (he said it was a fatty liver after seeing ALT scoring 97). Currently I am suffering from a bad cold, sore throught, had swallow and thick saliva in my mough as well as phlegm. I fee fatigue and always want to sleep. Could this be ChatDoctorV related or is it liver related?
Hi thanks for contacting Chat Doctor... You had elevated liver enzymes in the past. So it could be liver related problem. Like fatty liver or gall stone etc.... Or it could be by cytomegalovirus like infection.... Just now treat your flu like infection symptomatically.... More water. Steam inhalation useful... Take decongestant like oxymetazoline and cetirizine.... Humidifier can be used for cold climate. Take amoxyclav antibiotic... If after few days liver enzymes elevated then USG abdomen and viral marker study and LFT profile done for diagnosis liver pathology.... Take care Chat Doctor.

My 11 week old is very hard to wind (burp) whilst feeding. She is formula fed and I have noticed this problem only over last week or so. She is not really in any pain or crying but just refusing her bottle after taking small amounts. I have tried wind drops, but not much help. Around her mouth area is blue so I know it is a wind problem.
Dear parent, at times it's difficult for child to take out burp. You need to be patient. At times, it may take 20-30 minutes as well. After one burp if the child refuses to feed then put him in on stomach. That way it is easier for him to take out extra wind easily. Make sure that his bed is not too fluffy, it should be firm. Child will turn his head for breathing in the most comfortable position. If this does not help, please check with a pediatrician and change the formula.

i am a 27 yr old African american woman who was diagnosed with lichen planus about 4 years ago. it has been treated and i have not had a flare up (thank God)... but i am left with hyperpigmentaton that cover my entire body excluding my face. i have tired every bleaching product available, over the counter and prescribed. i have been tanning and nothing seems to really work. i do have fair skin so the marks are very noticeable. if there is something you can suggest to help or get rid of the hyperpigmentation please advise. Thank you!
Hi Clark, Thanks for writing in. You seem to have postinflammatory hyperpigmentation. For pigmentation as a general rule-Avoid sun exposure Use a good sunscreen of SPF 30 and repeat application every 3 to 4 hours Take antioxidant and vitamin C supplements. As the area of pigmentation is large some internal medication should be taken and external treatment would be of little use. Glutathione supplements are available as capsule and injections they can be very useful. You need to consult a dermatologist as dermatology being a visual field, the treatment required can only be suggested after proper skin examination. Some procedure can be helpful like dermabrasion. Take care. Chat Doctor.

My 11 year old woke up with hives on his torso and spread though out his body and today I took him to see his Dr and he has strept throat now his on medication Could his strep had cause his hives? Is just scary the way the hive just spread all over his body.
A strep throat is a bacterial infection of the throat (pharynx), tonsils or both caused by the bacteria group a streptococcus. Unfortunately common usage has deteriorated to mean sore throat in general. This is inaccurate. Many more viruses cause sore throats than streptococcal bacteria. Fever & sore throat for more than 2 days without cold symptoms suggests possible strep. A culture is the best diagnostic test. Hives (also called urticaria) are a common skin reaction in child Chat Doctor. The shape of these bumps can vary, and their size can range from about one-half inch to several inches in diameter. The larger wheals often have pale centers. In most cases, hives are caused by allergies. Foods like shellfish, milk, peanuts, or chocolate can trigger them. So can insect bites or

Hi. Ive been on a low dose bc pill for a few months now after switching from the IUD. All periods have been normal until this month. No period. Its several days late now, I start my active pills again today. Ive had lots of cramping for the last two weeks and nausea off and on for the last 2-3 days. Home pregnancy test was negative...? I know there were a few days I took my pill later than usual by a few hours. Not sure what to think.
Hi, Thanks for sharing your health concern with us. Since you have switched over to oral contraception, you have to use additional protection during the initial couple of months to avoid failure due to breakthrough ovulation. Since you are a few months into the pill, your hormone milieu should have settled by now. A few hours delay in the pill intake should not affect much. This delayed period is hence, of significance. Your symptoms are also suggestive of a possible pregnancy. Home pregnancy tests read well when performed 3-7 days after the missed period with a fresh early morning sample of urine. Since you have to start the active pills now, it is better to exclude/confirm pregnancy through the blood test and plan further management. Hope this helps.

My friend had a picc line in his left arm to drip antibiotics onto his heart. It has been 7 years since he had it and now he is experiencing numbness in this arm and its been about 2 to 3 weeks. Could this be related to the picc line? What other reasons would he be having numbness in his arm?
Probably not. There are many reasons for numbness in the arm most commonly entrapment of the nerves at the elbow or wrist from repetitive motion such as typing on a keyboard or lifting things for a job. Also pinched nerves in the neck can do, but usually this is associated with pain first. A neurologist could sort it out for him. The treatment depends on the cause

i have woken up today with quite severe knee pain. I was flying yesturday on a 7 hour flight and today am in quite a lot of pain in my right knee. I am struggling to walk or climb stairs and feel like my leg will collapse under me at any point. Can you help. I suffered with growing pains in my knees when i was a teenager. I exercise although not too much as if i run too much without at least a days break between then my knees also hurt. I sometimes hear a cracking noise from my knees when i stand after sitting down although this is not painful
Hi, Knee pain could be due to any ligament, tendon, meniscus injury or autoimmune / inflammatory condition like arthritis etc. But the one with cracking or popping sounds in or around the knee joints could be a sign of emerging osteoarthritis. With this feature, age, gender, weight should also be considered as it might increase the risk of arthritis. I advise you to:- Do X-ray both knees-Analgesics like Tab. Ibuprofen or Diclofenac + Ice pack + Regular exercises- Intra-articular glucocorticoids if pain and swelling persists even after using analgesics- Charon Chat Doctor. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

heartburn Hi im 40 female.Im a smoker no other health problems.I get heartburn and i have mild pain underneath my right ribcage to the middle.I weeze when i sleep and sometimes I cough.I had a terrible burning pain my chest twice while i was drinking brandy and coke.Now i rather dont have any alcohol.What can this be
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Your symptoms are characteristic of HERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease). Since you are smoker, HERD is likely and this is even worse by alcohol intake. Actually both (smoking and alcohol) cause laxity of gastroesophageal sphincter. Because of this the acid of the stomach tends to come up in the esophagus and cause chest pain. So better to avoid smoking and alcohol as soon as possible. Take proton pump inhibitors and prokinetic Chat Doctor. Avoid hot and spicy food. Avoid large meals, instead take frequent small meals. Avoid hot and spicy food. Don't worry, you will be alright with all these. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.

I recently had a pap smear done and it came back with ASCUS. Since then, I now have a painful pea sized lump that moves with the skin on my right labia. I have alot of clear, sometimes bloody discharge and foul odor. I was also diagnosed with bacterial vaginosis which I took medication for and still have the symptoms. Could you tell me if the ASCUS and the bacterial infection have anything to so with the lump?
Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor, A lump on right labia could be due to lymph node enlargement or inflamed Catholics gland. A history of bacterial vaginosis can be the cause of lymph node enlargement. The presence of ASC US on Pap smear suggests presence of atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance. A repeat Pap smear or cervical biopsy may be required to rule out invasive malignancy. However, before repeating the pap test treatment for bacterial vaginosis needs to be done because atypical changes in squamous cells may be seen in case of infection. The presence of lump on labia is not related to ASC US. Thanks and take care Chat Doctor.

I have a degenerative neck condition, but recently, my head has an intense pressure-feeling, and I want to know if this is directly related or something else. I also have a swollen area behind my left ear, right at the bottom of my hairline, and that lymph node feels a little swollen as well. The head pressure makes me feel disconnected and disoriented, and makes my head hurt. Thank you.
Hi, I value your concern regarding the symptoms. I have gone through your symptoms, and in my opinion your symptoms are not probably due to your degenerated discs, but the swelling behind ear is definitively a thing to be concerned about, please visit an ENT surgeon in your area to see what that swelling is all about. Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow-up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions. Wishing you good health. Special note-Any medication prescribed needs to be taken after consultation with your personal doctor only.

Hi my name is Renee I live in Stockton and have Thoracic injury from car accident in 2000. I m considering having an intrathecal pump inserted. I ve been seeing a pain management Dr. since 2003 . Want to find an expert to do the procedure and on this subject. Sincerely, Renee Rendon
Hello, You should look on the internet for physicians in your area who manage and insert these intrathecal pumps. It is almost certain that any ACADEMIC TEACHING HOSPITAL will have qualified surgeons for this type of procedure. It is considered a common and "garden variety" type of procedure. Another option might be to call a local hospital in your area and to ask the operator or NURSE ON CALL or NURSE HOTLINE service to give you a list of surgeons or neurosurgeons since these would be the people to insert such devices. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Chat Doctor.

Hi, my name is Sheila. I m 18 years old, 5 tall and weighing 52 kg. I have an asthma since I was highschool and just lately my cardiologist said I have an MVP. I had a sleeping disorder before and my doctor gave me a sleeping pill (i ll take it just as needed) and isoptin. I stopped taking the sleeping pill because I can already sleep at night. But just these few nights (roughly 3 consecutive nights), I had trouble sleeping and even right now I can t get myself to sleep. Is this because of the MVP or caused by another problem? Do I have to see another doctor for a second opinion on my case? Thank you so much.
Hello, No MVP is not a cause of insomnia, these two are unrelated problems. You need to see the psychiatrist for sleep problems. In general, avoid stimulant like tea, coffee, cola Chat Doctor. Avoid too heavy meals or exercises prior to sleep, light exercises like walking is encouraged. Also avoid TV or novels prior to sleep. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

In filitrate left upper lobe, this is the one of the point from my chest xray, i m going to dubai next month ... i didnt consult a doctor tillnow, help me is this the serious issue with my health and can i go to dubai , can i clear my medical exam for going to dubai or not
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Infiltration on chest x-ray is suggestive of active infection like pneumonia or tuberculosis. Upper lobe infiltration is common with tuberculosis. So at this moment, you will not clear medical for Dubai. You need to consult pulmonologist and get done sputum examination for AFB (acid fast bacilli-bacteria causing tuberculosis) and culture and sensitivity. Sputum for AFB is needed for the diagnosis of tuberculosis. If this is positiver than you need at least 6-8 months of anti-tubercular treatment. Sputum culture and sensitivity report will be helpful in identifying causative bacteria for pneumonia. So you should consult pulmonologist and discuss all these. First treat this and then apply for medical again. Hope I have solved your query. Wish you good health. Thanks.

I have ongoing chronic back pain, my MRI 2 years ago showed deg inl3/4 and L4/5 with a central to right paracentral disc protrusion at L4/5 which distorts the thecal sac and impinges the right L5 nerve root ni the lateral recess but no nerve compression.I have tried everything, osteopathy, physio and have been seeing a chiropractor for the last 6 months and cannot get anymore than a couple of days without pain. Should I be considering surgery, I am at my wits end! Thanks
Hi, If the pain has been getting worse, and you are not able to manage it in spite of all the therapies you have gone through, I think it would be worthwhile to consider surgery. You need to discuss with the physician and also get a thorough neurological examination done to accurately decide which nerve impingement is causing most problems and at what level a microdiscectomy would most help. If it is at multi levels, you will probably require fusion surgery. Your spinal surgeon is best equipped with making the decision based on his clinical findings and what the imaging shows. Microdiscectomy is the most oft done procedure and has a perfect rate of success of about 95%. Hope this helps you make a decision.

My podiatrist diagnosed my problem as Morton s Neuroma and Hallux Rigidus and gave me a cortisone injection about an inch above my big toe on the top of my foot yesterday. Today it seems so much worse, I can barely walk and my whole foot burns and aches. Should I give it a few more days or should I call him again on Monday?
It needs to be confirmed that you are really suffering from Morton's neuroma. If ITIS really so, it needs to be surgically treated. Hallex Rigid us should be treated by physiotherapy. Kindly avoid local HY Chat Doctor. Rule out Diabetes, gout,vitamin D deficiency or any other metabolic disorder.

Hello my husband is having prickly pains in on his upper right chest. It is not all the time. It s not when he is breathing. Just every now and then. He has had the pain for a couple of hours but for a few months he has had a dull ache under the right of his rib cage. Any ideas what this could be?
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. In my opinion it seems pain due to trapped nerve and muscular pull. So better to follow these steps for symptomatic improvement. 1. Avoid heavy weight lifting and strenuous exercise. 2. Avoid bad postures in sleep. 3. Avoid movement s causing pain. 4. Start good painkiller and muscle relaxant. 5. Apply warm water pad on affected site. 6. Get done vitamin B 12 level and if deficient than start replacement. As vitamin B 12 is necessary for nerve repair and function.

I m battling enormous amounts of stress for the past two years. My husband of 37 years ask for a divorce (had no clue that was coming) and 12 months later I found myself 58 years old, alone and will be divorced one year this August. I have been getting very concerned I was just not getting over this divorce and the sadness and crying seem to be getting worse not better. My doctor put me on Bupropion XL on March 13 and maybe it s helping or maybe it s mind over matter and I m telling myself I m better when I m actually not. I ve always been a very upbeat, happy, people say I m funny type of person, so all this sadness is concerning for me and I don t like it. I could never understood why anyone would commit suicide and nobody noticing how sad that person must have been, but to be honest, I can now. I would never do anything to myself, but I can sure understand some reason why. So, other than medicine, is there something else I can do to help myself? Sorry my explanation is so long. Thank you for your concern and help.
Degree understand your concerns went through your details. To be frank, I am very sorry for the unexpected events. But I will not sympathize with you because sympathy makes you more weak. You should be able to distinguish between disappointment and depression. Disappointment also brings on symptoms identical to depression, but they are short-lived. You are disappointed due to the sudden turn of events. Rather unexpected. That is common. Everybody is so. Now, as the dust settles, you should look into your future. You may not alter what happened, but can choose what should happen next. Analyze your options, take help from your friends and other well-wishers etc. You are 58, and now you need to beat your physique as well as your laziness. I suggest hobbies to keep you entertained at the same time provide you with some monetary gain. Hobbies like painting, mural works, sculpture etc. should work. Learn any of them and move forward. You will succeed, I am sure, because you have vast worldly experience behind you. If you require more of my help in this aspect, please use this URL. http://goo.gl/aYW2pR.

I hit my knee on a rock and also may have twisted it when swimming two days ago. Yesterday it was kind of swollen but not too bad, it did however have kind of a swollen bump where I hit it( right below the knee cap). Yesterday I could not bend it because it felt like it was too swollen to bend and it was really stiff. Today it also is hard to bend but is alittle easier, I am however in more pain today. I seem to have hit it right on the bone so I m hoping that it s just a bruise on the bone. Would that make sense? Or is it something more serious? I hit my knee on a rock when swimming two days ago.

Hi, It seems you have developed haemarthrosis knee due to bleeding inside the knee. You must visit the ER at a hospital. X-ray of the knee must be done. Possibly the knee must be aspirated & pressure bandage applied (of course finer details to be decided by the attending doctor.) Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patient's description.

My son was standing and talking to someone outside. When he went to walk away his vision went black, he had trouble controlling his extremities and felt nauseated. When he got back inside he sat down and said he was sweating. After a few minutes he said he still feels sick and has a headache but his vision is better. What could have caused this and is there anything we can do besides wait? Thank you, Mike Howard
Hello! Thank you for your question on Chat Doctor! I understand your concern, and would like to explain that his symptoms may be related to different disorders like : 1- Low blood pressure. As his symptoms occurred while standing up, a low blood pressure or an orthostatic hypotension, may be the cause of his symptomatology. I recommend to closely monitor his blood pressure during sitting and standing up position. A head up tilt test may be necessary to exclude an orthostatic hypotension. 2. Low blood sugar: hypoglycemia could cause a similar clinical scenario. I recommend performing a routine blood test (to exclude chronic anemia) and blood glucose levels. 3. A seizure. A partial seizure may mimic these symptoms. If the above tests result normal, an EEG and a brain CT scan may be necessary to exclude a possible seizure and possible intracranial causes. Meanwhile, I recommend taking plenty of water and have some rest. Hope to have been of help! Best regards,

My son is only ten weeks old and has been to the er three times. On Zantac for acid reflux very irritable still gagging. I also just noticed he has a blister on his foot and now has rash on his face with pimples. He has clear discharge from his eyes constantly. And also has been making a hiccup sound and twitching in his sleep. Please help me and my son Matthew
Thanks for posting your query at Chat Doctor. Clear discharge from his eyes is not a cause of concern. The opening of his nasolacrimal duct might have not yet developed and a certain type of simple massage at the angle of eye and nose over a period of time will give him relief. For his acid reflux continue Santa. But chances are that he is not being burped properly after feeds. Make sure that the child is placed in erect posture, possibly on lap, for about 20 minutes after each feed. In any case, keep his head end raised after feeds. Probably with such interventions his reflux would subside. The blister over his foot is probably unrelated. Apply emollients or moisturizers over they are. Hiccups and twitches during sleep are normal, and you need not worry about it. I hope that helps. Feel free to revert in case of further queries.

Good afternoon,I have a swollen knot right where my leg meets up with pelvis near my scrotum. It has been a little bump for over 2 years but now it is a nice size and it hurts. What could that be? Not sure if it is a cyst or lymph node but I am concerned.
Hello! Thank you for the query. In this location such lump can be caused by inguinal hernia, enlarged lymph node or some kind of benign skin lesion (like lipoma or sebaceous cyst). As enlarged lymph node may need some diagnostics and inguinal hernia needs to be fixed with surgery, I suggest you to consult a surgeon with this issue. In case of doubts, ultrasound should be done. If its enlarged lymph node, biopsy might be necessary to verify it. Hope this will help. Regards.

He will not feed naturally. he was born two weeks late and had to be induced. what does this suggest?
A low white blood cell count in a newborn suggests infection. In medical terms it is called Neonatal sepsis. Infection might be acquired intrauterine or during delivery process. A 5-7 days course of antibiotics will usually be needed.

Im having face pain on my right side. It causes my jaw, the bone under eye and temple, sometimes my eye to have a lot of pain. I have had a ct scan that showed the bone moving toward my nose. I never talked to the doc so thought it was no big deal. But it is becoming one. any advise?
Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query. The pain on the right side of the face can be because of the infection of the bone secondary to spread of infection from the tooth. Consult an oral physician and get a radiograph like OPG to rule out the infection in the teeth. Go along with the CT and take opinion from the oral physician and confirm the diagnosis. Do not delay, once the diagnosis is confirmed, it can be treated accordingly. I hope my answer will help you, take care.

For about a month now Ive had swelling in my lower abdomen, on both sides, next to hip bones. It doesnt hurt, but I do get bloated and feel a ton of pressure in my stomach. Where it swells, it looks tube-like. It feels tube-ish also. Ive brought it up to multiple doctors and they all just disregard it. Ive been waiting for it to go away, but its not getting any better. Perhaps even slightly worse. Ive even done research to try and get some idea as to what it could be, but I cant find anything. Everything a read seems a somewhat far fetched. Could you have any clue as to what it may be?
Hi, From history it seems that you might be having bilateral inguinal hernia causing this problem. There is another possibility of having weak abdominal recto muscles causing bulging of abdomen due to gas or taking some food. Consult surgeon and get examined. Ok and take care.

Then what could be reason for your low concentration in reading your education related books. Lack of interest, of course. The books are boring. You do not have the passion with your subject. You are not alone. Millions of youth around the world are on the same path. Once you are able to cultivate interest, in the study subjects, the wandering stops.

Hi, I have some question that I really want to know, hopefully you can give me the answers, thanks! 1. what color liquid leaks from the nose and is a sign of a concussion? 2.what knid of abnormal eye pupil exam is shown? 3.identify two tests that are done to diagnose a concussion?
1. In a concussion, there shouldn't be any visible changes to the head. If there is fluid leaking out of the nose and its clear, it could be cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) meaning there needs to be a leak repaired or there could be a meningitis. This can happen from a cribriform plate fracture often seen in frontal head injuries.2. There also should not be an abnormal pupil exam. If there is one, you need to go to the ER immediately.3. To diagnose concussion, it is basically any head injury that causes an alteration in mental status. There can be tests done, but they are usually done to rule out something else like a contusion (blood in the brain) or neck fracture for example.

Thanks a lot for your help Doctor. Can I pls ask what are the adverse effects of Demetia? Could it have been brought on by a severe shock to the patient., e.g. hearing that only daughter is divorcing her husband of 32 yrs even though there were not obvious signs of marital problems.
Hithanks for using Chat Doctor Dementia is not merely a problem of memory. It reduces the ability to learn, reason, retain or recall experience and there is also loss of patterns of thoughts, feelings and activities. Additional mental and behavioral problems often affect people who have dementia, and may influence quality of life, caregivers, and the need for institutionalization. As dementia worsens individuals may neglect themselves and may become disinhibited and may become incontinent. Behavior may be disorganized, restless or inappropriate. There are a lot of causes of dementia like old age, vascular cause, neurological etc., but it does not occur due to psychological cause. Thanks

Hi. I was in an car accident on 1-1-2017, of all days! First time going out. The car tire slipped on a patch of ice and the car spun then slammed into the rails. I was on the passenger side but I hit my head on the window. My head has been feeling strange in that one spot. I was told by my Dr. that I should be okay and the numb feeling will eventually got away within 2 to 3 months. Its been longer than that now. What does this sound like to you?
Hi, thanks for asking from Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. The numbness could be due to nerve injury or concussion. It will subside on its own. If no relief at all, you should-Take tablet Pregabalin after prescription- take nerve specific vitamin like B12, folic acid, pantothenic acid. Hope it will help. Thanks. Take care.

my wife is diabetic, she also have ashma. prior to her knee replacement she suffer wound ulcer in her leg and took several months to heal before the surgery was performed. everything is okay now and her blood sugar is under control except for some occasional spike though she is taking insulin twice daily. The issue now is having burning foot pain, itchy and swelling find it hard to walk with out the aid of rollator. questions. how she can improve her blood circulation, prevent poor blood circulation, pain and neuropathy.another than these, her knee replacement is a success. she is 78 year old now, is her age a factor.
Hello, In a person with long-standing diabetes, peripheral neuropathy does set in, particularly if glycemic control is poor. But even with good control also neuropathy does develop giving rise to burning pain in feet, tingling and even numbness. Itchy feeling is due to improper blood circulation and affection of venous return. Strict blood glucose control is a necessity. Chat Doctor. Strict dietary control, some amount of regular exercise along with glycemic control will help. Age is definitely a factor. Fasting blood glucose should be closer to 100 mg, PP 160 to 180 mg & HbA1c%<7. Thanks

My wife aged 36 had giddiness yesterday. We just started our shopping and she was standing in a shop. suddenly she felt uneasiness. We made het sit on a chair. After a few seconds she became unconsious. We sprinkled water on her face and after a few seconds she opened her eyes. Then she took rest for 10-15 minutes in the shop and then we moved out. That time she felt like gas coming out of mouth from stomach . She was feeling uneasiness and giddiness feeling for another 1 hour or so. There after she was normal. Some months back also she had similar uneasiness but she did not become unconcious. Please give some suggestions/remedies
Hi, Thank you for posting your query. Your wife needs to be evaluated to find out the reason for her unconsciousness. The causes could range from simple exhaustion to lack of blood flow to brain and heart problems. Initially, please consult a physician, and get her hemoglobin, blood sugar and cholesterol checked up. Later on, she may need neurology and cardiology evaluation, if no causes are found. In addition, she has to ensure adequate sleep, regular meal timings, and avoid stress. I hope it helps. Please get back if you require any additional information. Wishing you good health, Chat Doctor. Ly/

I was prescribed Nitrofurantoin for a UTI. After suffering for a year with symptoms from ulcers, digestive issues, pain, stomach problems, etc. It now seems as if all of the digestive symptoms have subsided since I began the Nitrofurantoin. I was wondering if in fact I may have had an e coli infection in my digestive track and therefore the medicine is getting rid of it. Is this possible, or is that antibiotic only used for UTIs?
**1. Nitrofurantoin is a urinary antiseptic given in acute as well as prophylaxis of uncomplicated urinary tract infections. [only indication], and is given in E.cold infection [commonest] for 5-10 days.2. Since A Chat Doctor.

Hi. I sprained my ankle 3 days ago. The first day, there was swelling, pain, and I couldn t move my toes very well. The second day was a significant improvement. The swelling went down, it didn t really hurt, and I could move my toes almost normally. Today is the third day, and I feel like it s gone backwards. The swelling is back, and I can barely move my toes again, but there isn t any pain really. When I curl my toes downward, there s a significant throbbing under them until I let go, which doesn t happen in the other foot. I m just wondering if I should be seeking medical attention, or if this will go away on its own. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Hello, The pain and swelling after a sprain can be due to torn ligaments or a bone injury. You need to get an MRI scan done to detect the extent of the injury. Avoid weight-bearing on the foot and keep it elevated on two pillows for relief. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Chat Doctor.

i am a girl and when ever i touch my neck/chest it gets red. it does not hurt and goes away within 1-2 minutes. the same things happens to my ears but they burn as well. i am allergic to some kind of metal and i am pretty sure it is not nickel. why is this happening?!?!?!
Hi, This is not an abnormal condition rather it might be physical urticaria occurred as a result of physical touch, pressure, heat, cold,anxiety, exertion etc. Secondly, it can be true dermatographism occurs as a result of pressure by fingertip, pen,key etc., and it generally disappears after few minutes without any treatment. So, if you are suffering from this then first thing you don't have to worry. It subsides by itself, or you may take antihistamines like Ben Chat Doctor. You can consult dermatologist for further advise.

My dad is diabetic, has hbp, fatty liver. He literally screams in pain off and on throughout the day, every day...for 2 years now. The doctor says there is nothing he can do except give him pain medication. He takes clonodine and his doctor gave him oxycodine, which he doesnt want to take because it is so addictive. What the heck can we do?
Hello, Thanks for the query. Since patient has long-standing diabetes and hypertension plus pain (as described), he needs to be treated with a semisynthetic narcotic Chat Doctor. Because routine non-steroidal analgesics if used for long duration can lead to kidney damage. In diabetes as well as in hypertension kidney function is already affected. So in such situation Oxycodone is definitely a better choice. It does lead to physical dependence if used for a long time. However, if pain control has to be provided then that is the best alternative. Thanks

my daughter is 3 and I noticed today that the toenail on each of her big toes is not connected at base of her toe anymore. No blood or anything, but it is very obviously not connected at the cuticle/base of her toe. What causes this? What do I need to do for her? Will it reattach?
Hi, Thankyou for your query.First I would like to know that if she is having other problems also like joint pain, tiredness and weakness, recurrent fever or particular rashes and itching. As all of above-mentioned symptoms if associated with fall of toenails, it could be caused by an autoimmune disease.Otherwise it could be fungal infection or because of wearing tight shoes. Ofter falling of toenails, they will not reattach but develop newly slowly. Hopefully my answer is helpful. Chat Doctor.

When Im constipated I finally have a hard bowel movement and I get a burning feeling in tip of penis. When Im done I look into the bowl and see white flakes in the water and sometimes inside my urethra. This is horribly uncomfortable. I also have problems maintaining an erection. Ive been to an urologist and he didnt do a darn thing to help me
Hello share your concern. White flakes in urine with burning sensation in tip of penis is suggestive of UTI (urinary tract infection)I would advise you for a battery of tests like urine culture and sensitivity and an ultrasound if need be to find out underlying causative microorganisms, you may require a course of antibiotics according to reports. Constipation can be treated with dietary modification like incorporation of lots of fresh fruits and vegetables or dietary fiber in your diet, avoidance of spicy and junk food. Laxative like lactulose or stool softeners like liquid paraffin can be tried in long-standing constipation. Hope I could answer your question. Best wishes

hello I have been taking Celebrex for some time for arthritis pain. I have been fortunate to have avoided pain in my arms and shoulders until just recently. the pain will actually awaken me from a dead sleep. in my arms shoulders, wrist. I am sitting in my recliner awaiting my narcotic pain killer to start working so I can finish my nights sleep. and suggestions come to mind?
Hi, thank you for providing the brief history of you. As mentioned by you, about the sharp pain in the arms, shoulders and wrists, I will advise to undergo a complete neuromuscular assessment. Also, this sharp shooting pain can be due to the pathology of the nerve. And for which your or tho may advise you for an MRI, which will help understand the physiology of the soft tissues in the cervical spine. Post which with a combination of medicine and physical therapy, the symptoms will come into control, also, on a later stage, exercises will be taught to strengthen the muscles and avoid nerve impingement, which is common for this kind of sharp pain. Usually, patients recover with good health in 2-3 weeks, and later stages, exercises are followed at home. RegardsJay In Chat Doctor.

I had part of my colon removed due to cancer just about a year ago and the doctors said they removed all the cancer and it had not gone out the intestine but the Mayo clinic where I had the surgery said to have this cea test every 3 months. Last test was 2.8 slowly been going up and I am worried. What are the next steps to take?
Hi, Thanks for writing in. Colon cancer is treated completely by surgery if detected in early stage. However, CEA is to be done regularly to know the progressive increase and possibility of a recurrence of the tumor. Colon cancer might cause liver spread and this also has to be looked for by doing an ultrasound scan and CT scan if required. It is important to discuss the rise on CEA with your doctor and then proceed with doing an ultrasound scan or CT scan and if there is a strong suspicion then a PET CT scan might be necessary. Please do not worry.

Hi I have ebv (Epstein barr virus), low platelets, low vitamin d, very Nevada s joint pain, also including fatty liver disease, high bad cholesterol, slightly high glucose, my doctor is awful and said I m fine but I know I m not my sister has lupus my grandma has diabetes and we have severe tumors in our family including celiac disease please tell me what kind of doctor I should go see
Hi I did review your concern.ABV infection generally has no antibiotic or antiviral treatment. Rare cases have been treated with Riboviria but mostly nothing is required, and it will heal on its own. I would recommend you to consult an endocrinologist and start on diet and lifestyle modification as well as if needed to start on statin medications like atorvastatin for high bad cholesterol(mostly LDL). Fatty liver can be due to alcohol or due to high sugar and obesity and stopping alcohol as well as decreasing sugar and weight will help in reversing this condition. I hope this helps. Wish you all the best. Thank you for using Chat Doctor.

My 20 yr. old son had a mri done with contrast. When I viewed a side view I noticed a black round spot on the back of his head above the brain stem. Can you give me any indication as to what this may show? It looks like there should be a noticeable lump protruding from the back of his head, although this is not the case. Any info would be appreciated.
Hello, The reporting of MRI involves viewing images acquired in various planes (vertical, horizontal etc.), with various settings (T1, T2 etc.). The appearance of same structure may vary greatly in different sequences (like white vs black). So it may be difficult to comment on the MRI from the description you have given. Consult your radiologist who has seen all the images. Also, the reason for which MRI was done will put things in perspective. Good luck.

I had my implanon removed over two weeks ago and have been actively trying to conceieve. I had it in for the full 3 years, with no periods, only spotting here and there. I now have a very light pink almost a discharge , but its not thick, very thin/lght. I took a pregnancy test 3-4 days ago and it said neg, which I wasn t really expecting anything yet. The discharge is not heavy enough for a tampon . a light panty liner does the trick. what could it be? I am 22y/o causcasion weigh 140 and 5 8 . Thanks, Erica
Hi thanks for the query. This discharge may be mid-cycle discharge or due to some infection. If you have itching, irritation or foul smelling discharge then chances of infection are more. In that situation, you should take antibiotic pessaries after proper prescription. I don't see any advantage of pregnancy test so early. Hope this information is helpful and informative to you. If you have further queries you can directly reach out to me on the following URL:http://doctor.ChatDoctor .com/doctors/ Chat Doctor.

Hi Doctor, This question is in relation to my mothers health. My mother is sixty three, she has been having hot flushes from the age of forty eight. At present they are unbearable , approx nine years ago she was dignosed with skin cancer on her nose, which was treated and cured. As a percaution the doctors did more tests and discovered she had breast cancer . She was very lucky it was got in the early stage, so the doctors operated, removed the lump and then recieved six weeks of radium treatment. Thankfully she has been clear since. At present the hot flushes are very frustrating for her
Hi!welcome to Chat Doctor! The severity and duration of hot flashes varies among women going through menopause. Some women have hot flashes for a very short time during menopause. Other women may have hot flashes at least to some degree for life. To prevent hot flashes, your mother should avoid these triggers: Stress, Caffeine, Alcohol, Spicy foods, Tight clothing, Heat and Cigarette smoother things she can do to keep hot flashes at bay include: Stay cool. Try deep, slow abdominal breathing, exercise dailyYour mother can go in for hormone replacement therapy (HRT) under the expert guidance of a gynecologist or an endocrinologist. You both and your doctor may decide that hormones are or are not needed for a short time to help with symptoms of hot flushes. Hot flushes are linked to lower estrogen levels. I hope this will help you!

To prevent hot flashes, your mother should avoid these triggers: Stress, Caffeine, Alcohol, Spicy foods, Tight clothing, Heat and Cigarette smoother things she can do to keep hot flashes at bay include: Stay cool. Try deep, slow abdominal breathing, exercise dailyYour mother can go in for hormone replacement therapy (HRT) under the expert guidance of a gynecologist or an endocrinologist. You both and your doctor may decide that hormones are or are not needed for a short time to help with symptoms of hot flushes. Hot flushes are linked to lower estrogen levels.

I sprained my ankle a month ago. The main swelling has gone, but it still swells up when I walk on it and I have numbness on the top of my foot. I have been in a CAM walker for 8 days and the problems persist. I also have achilles tendinosis but is unrelated to the sprain.
Hi, there! Foot is the farthest place from heart (pump) and it takes few months to fully recover sprained ligaments. Keep You foot elevated, when not walking. Kinesiologic taping is good method to decrease swelling and cure numbness. I hope this helps

Hi well come to Chat Doctor. Partial obstruction in your case could be stricture in intestine due to tuberculosis. Ifthe tuberculosis is cured than final answer is surgery depending on extent of stricture. May remove the stricture part of intestine or may do some by pass surgery as per surgical convenience. Thanks

Had mechanical valve 25 yers ago at age 37...having it replaced in a week and aortic aneurysm repaired. Trying to decide on tissue or another mechanical valve....my body does not tolerate coumadin..very frequent protimes...two or three times monthly for 25 years. I am now 62...any advice? Surgery to be done at Duke.
Hello, A tissue valve lasts for some years and needs to be replaced again, probably 10-15 years. Mechanical valve lasts much more, but need to take Coumadin. You are 62 (young), so if I were you, I would choose mechanically. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

an older sister is a 9 yr breast cancer survivor. a younger sister just got diagnosed & is currently in treatment for it. my mom, grandmas & my blood aunts have not ever been diagnosed with it. what are my & my 2 remaining sisters, odds of possibly getting it too?
There is high chance given the family history. Estrogen receptor status must be evaluated. BRCA gene expression must be evaluated to know the status. This is called genetic testing. Refer to oncologist for further information.

When I lay down at night my feet twitch. Just one twitch about every 30 seconds or so. Both feet. I can feel something originating in my groin area then sorta shooting down to my foot and causing a twitch. It keeps me from falling asleep quickly and is not painful, just sooo annoying. It is starting to happen during the day now.
Hi, Thanks for your query. It seems that you have muscle twitches or articulations. These are small, local, involuntary muscle contraction and relaxation visible under the skin arising from the spontaneous discharge of a bundle of skeletal muscle fibers. You might consult your doctor who can order 1. A few blood tests including thyroid function tests, 2. Serum electrolytes including Serum calcium and potassium levels. 3. Serum B12 levels In case the above tests are normal further testing can be done including - nerve conduction studies, Electromyography, etc. These tests might help to diagnose any underlying neurological issues. I do hope that you have found something helpful, and I will be glad to answer any further query. Take care

Hello, My mom is 70 yrs old and Asthamatic and uses Budecort inhaler thrice daily for the past 6 months. She was prescribed Deriphyllin but gets discomfort and palpitations with it. After inhalation she feels better but complains of epigastric distention and would like to know what to do . She is breathless on walking only, not sitting or lying. Please help
Hi, Thanks for posting your query. Budecort contains budesonide, a steroid. Taking steroid 3 times in day for long time is not a recommended guideline. This is better option in acute exacerbation. She should take beta 2 agonists and anticholinergics by inhalation method. Deriphylline has side effects of palpitation and it's not a better option to take deriphylline. Any medicine taken orally is exposed to whole body while medicine taken by inhalation method is exposed to lungs only where the primary disease is existing. So you should go for inhalation therapy. Thanks,

**1. Since the case is diagnosed, and you are under supervision and management, thus prior to any holistic approach, consult an Orthopedic surgeon for relevant examination and investigation [since condition is 10 years old] to exclude osteomyelitis of pubis bone or related structures. [nerve injury/compression]2. Exercises for estates pubis rehabilitation concentrate on stretching and strengthening all affected areas, including the groin, lower back, hips and thighs. 3. Rehabilitation under the guidance of an experienced Physiotherapist is highly recommended. The return to normal activities/condition should be totally guided by their experience to avoid a future re-aggravation.PS. It may take the rehabilitation process in excess of 3 months.4. Some exercise recommended for estates pubis is/are: clambers, core strengtheners, wall bends, gentle side stretches.PS. Because your condition may differ from others, consult with your doctor or experienced yoga trainer before starting new exercises or yoga postures

Hi Shana, Welcome to Chat Doctor. Just because your uterus is bulky, you do not have to have surgery, but since that is causing problem by excessive bleeding and pain abdomen, I think your doctor is right in suggesting surgery. Excessive bleeding during periods may cause anemia accompanied by its complications.
