Hello! My 6-month old fell off my bed (about 3ft high) and he was already tired before falling, so after the fall he cried for about 10 minutes and I gave him a bottle of milk (which he drank the whole 8oz) and he fell asleep. Should I let him sleep? Oh, and he also had a little blood coming out of his nose. Thanks for any advice.	Welcome to the ChatDoctorI understand your concerns but don't worry. You may monitor his pulse rate, respiration and tone at home. If there is persistent increased pulse rate, continuous bleed, poor tone, seizure, poor activity even after expected sleeping time then do visit a pediatrician for proper clinical examination and definitive management. If everything seems to be fine then there is no need for any other treatment. Take care	If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patient's description.	### INSTRUCTION: If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. ### Question: Hello!

I had a bad fall down a flight of stairs Wednesday night I have a really bad bruise on the lower backside of my back and I hit my head on the door busting my eye and causing it to bleed but the past couple days I ve been feeling sick to my stomach bad headaches and occasional spotting when I urinate. I m not sure if I need to go to the hospital or not	Hi, Thanks for your query. From the description that you have provided, it seems that you have suffered a soft tissue injury. You need to provide rest to the back. Avoid massaging the area. Doing a hot fomentation will be helpful. Avoid forward bending. I would suggest getting this evaluated by an orthopedic for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate management. You may get the X-ray/MRI of the area affected under his/her guidance do hope that you have found something helpful, and I will be glad to answer any further query.

Hello!! I have read a few questions that people made about Nido 1+ milk, however, my doubt is not clear yet. A coworker have suggested me that I should stop giving Nido to my 18month boy due to the ingredients in it - specially the maltodextrin which can cause cancer besides Nido is manmade therefore is not natural at all however cow s milk in usa contain hormones which in is manmade too. I give Nido twice or three times a day as smoothies not itself. Thank you in advance.	Hi,Thanks and welcome to ChatDoctor .Nido is ChatDoctor.

Last period was December 6-11, been spotting some. The early part of this month and yesterday. All HPT s are negative except 1 from two days ago was a very faint positive, and blood test from yesterday is negative. Still no period. Could I still be preganent? or are there a million reasons for this?	Hallow Dear, You have to be rather cautious with the symptoms you are describing. If your pregnancy test is faint positive, and you are spotting, the first diagnosis to be looked for is pregnancy outside the uterine cavity (ectopic pregnancy). Do you have pain in the abdomen also? This is a very serious condition which lands into life-threatening bleeding emergencies requiring blood transfusion and surgical intervention to save the life. Please report to your Gynecologist for due assessment of the condition. You may have to undergo Laparoscopy for diagnosis or certain clinical tests can diagnose this condition. Please do not waste time. Rush to The Gynecologist ASAP. Take care please.

Have I suffered a concussion? A week ago, I passed out and hit the back of my head on the ground while I was abroad. I thought I had recovered after a few hours, but the plane ride home left me feeling very weak and nauseous. These past few days, I have experienced a lot of dizziness and nausea. These feelings intensify after I eat. I feel unbalanced when I walk, and woke up this morning with ringing in my left ear that disappeared after 10 minutes. Should I be concerned? I am also scheduled to undergo liposuction/fat transfer in a week. Am I still OK to undergo the procedure?	Hello! Welcome on Chat Doctor ! Your symptoms are quite normal after a head trauma. They do not indicate any serious medical complication. Anyway, I would recommend having some rest for some days and avoid abrupt head movements. If the dizziness persists, it would be necessary consulting with an ENT specialist to exclude any possible inner ear disorder (benign paroxysmal positional vertigo). Hope you will find this answer helpful!

Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ? Please type your query here...My 6 month old has a cold with a cough and lots of mucous. I just noticed a large dark red spot on the side tip of his toungue. Worried About what it could be. He had a cold every month for the past 3 months	Hi. Welcome to Chat Doctor . I have gone through your query and can understand your concern. As per your complaint red spot at the side tip of tongue can be due to causes like inflamed tongue papillae, arteriovenous malformation like hematoma, broken blood vessel, hematoma etc. I would suggest you to consult a Periodontist and get him evaluated, and he can do a clinical evaluation and treat accordingly. As of now feed him with soft foods, do alternate warm and cool compresses over the lump and also maintain a good oral hygiene. Hope this helps. Regards.

hi!! I have asthma since my childhood,, am from Tanzania east Africa and now am 30yrs old, the whole of this week I have been sick I do receive asthma attack frequently. is this problem cured? or what best medicine I can use cause is giving me hard time	Hello, Thank you for asking at Chat Doctor. I went through your history and would like to make suggestions for you as follows:1. As you have asthma since very long time, I would suggest you spirometry with post-bronchodilatory reversibility testing which will help to know your lung capacity, type of airway problem, etc. It will also help your doctor to choose appropriate inhaler for you.2. I would also suggest you allergy testing for common air-borne allergens such as house dust mites, pollen, molds, insect proteins, animal dander, etc. This will help you identify the substances causing allergies to you as well as to know the measures to avoid them.3. I usually prescribe my such patients appropriate use of regular inhalers ("preventer" inhalers) such as inhaled corticosteroids and inhalers for as-and-when-needed basis ("rescue" inhalers) such as inhaled albuterol/levosalbutamol etc. However, to suggest appropriate inhaler for you, details of frequency and severity of your symptoms as well as spirometry would be required.4. In general, please avoid exposure to dusts, smokes and air pollution as much as possible.5. Regular physical exercise including breathing exercises and nutritious diet rich in vitamins & minerals will also help you to improve your lung capacity and immunity respectively. 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.

Salutation, My mother aged (52), diagnosed nasophayranx carcinoma since 2009, (Undifferentiated type) but treatment mode is homeopathy, for the last 3 years she has no such big complication, for the last 2 months a small tumor has been developed below the nose plate and having headache. What should we do? kindly suggest.	Dear friend. Thanks for sharing your concern. As far as nasopharyngeal carcinoma is concerned, it should be well diagnosed and treated by oncologist as it involves eminent facial structures. I would suggest going and see the oncologist first and get it examined, simultaneously also discuss the headache arising due to that. As it might be putting pressure on the nerves during progression. Hope it helps. Thanks. Take care.

I am a 54 yo female, and in good health. No history of any health problems at all and Im not on any daily medication. However, i have a family history of heart problems. For the past two days I have been having a mild, dull pain in my left chest area. I cant really say it is pain, but more discomfort. I am also having episodes of dizziness, especially when the discomfort is more severe. This has happened three or four times in the past 24 hours. Could this be my heart?	Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Yes, these symptoms can be due to cardiac (heart related) diseases. You are above 50 and have strong family history of heart diseases, so we should first rule out heart diseases in your case. So consult cardiologist and get done blood pressure monitoring, ECG, 2d echo and stress test. If all these are normal then no need to worry about heart diseases. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.

I have a large flap like bump on the inside of my cheek near my back molars like the size of a tictac. It looks the same color as the inside of my cheek only the center is filled white like a pimple. It is not as painful as a canker sore, but there is some pain now and again. Its been there a few days and has grown since i first noticed it. My girlfriend as well has developped one so thinking its something caused by a contagious factor or just big coincidence. What could this be and is this something that needs treated or will drain and go away on its own?	The ulcer near you molar can be a bite lesion (your upper and lower opposite molars hurting your cheek tissue while coming together while biting) most probably, but it is not contagious. Infact most of the common oral ulcer conditions are not contagious except herpes. I advice you to visit an oral physician to rule out the rest. At my clinic i advice my patients to start with oral vitamin A supplements for a fortnight and apply denote over the affected area for a couple of days along with Betadine rinses .it will take a few days to subside, but a visit to a dentist will ensure a proper diagnosis to it, and it can be avoided in the future.

Approx 2 months I started suffering from dizziness, noticed my pulse was irregular. I have had 2 ecgs the first said abnormal qrst contour consistent with old inferior mi and non specific st depression. the second showed pvcs and prolonged qt. I have just had a 24hr holter which showed over 3000 pvcs, sinus tachcardia with some bigeminy and trigeminy. My gp told me this is nothing to worry about and is referring me to cardiology as routine. I have also been having left arm pain and pain radiating into my left neck and shoulder. the last couple of days I am experiencing a severe stabbing pain upper left chest below collar bone and the arm pain is worse. The pain is intermittent but lasting atleast 30 mins, sometimes hours. Should I be concerned? or should I wait for my appointment which will be around 2 months?many thanks Jackie	Hips more than 300o in an ECG are to be taken seriously, 3 or more PCs taken together in succession are called nonsustained ventricular tachycardia, if duration is less than 30 sec, if duration is more than 30 seconds it's called ventricular tachycardia. Most common cause of PCs in ECG are ischemic myocardium, that is when blood supply to heart is less or compromised, inferior wall me also signifies it. Yes you should be very concerned about it few baseline investigations like 2d echo tread mill test should be done as early as possible to identify ischemia to heart. Medicines like beta blockers and nitrates could be started initially by GP before you reach a cardiologist	If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patient's description.	### INSTRUCTION: If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. ### Question: Approx 2 months I started suffering from dizziness, noticed my pulse was irregular.

You have metastatic breast cancer which automatically becomes Stage IV. Now that you have baseline PET scan, follow up PET scan is the best way to monitor response to treatment. Repeat PET scan is best done 8 weeks after chemo and 12 weeks after radiotherapy.

I am a 26 yr old female, i have been experiencing some chest pain for 24 hrs, coming and going last night and since about 11am today comming frequent left and right and in center, right before my chest pain last night I discovered throat swollen, white puss bumps, throat hurts nothing crazy! i didnt sleep last night cause of it, I am in pain now and scared to fall asleep. I took 2 antacids, my husband thought it might be acid reflux. it has seemed to help a little. Should I be worried?	Hello, If I were you, I would go to the doctor and do a complete blood count, chest radiography and an ECG. If it is lung infection with a throat infection, you might need to take an antibiotic. The ECG is to see how is the heart and to rule out any possible cardiac problem that would cause the chest pain. You should take the antacids as long as they release you. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Hello, i was in a motorcycle accident on the 9th, a week ago today. I recieved road rash primarily on my upper right forearm. new skin has already began to grow. What i am more concerned about it not being able to extend my arm fully without feeling a sharp pain. The pain is primarily felt on the upper/inside of my elbow. I did not go seek medical attention due to not having health insurance. Should i be concerned or will it heal naturally?	hither should be an x-ray screening to rule out bone injury or subluxation elbow. Use a broad arm sling and take Advil tabs after meals .rest in slip may help, but consult orthopedic doctor, if possible earliest thanks	If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patient's description.	### INSTRUCTION: If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. ### Question: Hello, i was in a motorcycle accident on the 9th, a week ago today.

My name is Ken Karson, I am an inner city hospital which is often the sight of emergency treatment for IV users. I have a history of using whatever needles I can get o injections and often am not careful about the cleanliness of his skin at injection sights. Some of the symptoms I have experienced are Rapid irregular heart beat marked shortness of breath petechial lesions of the skin conjunctiva and the oral mucosa weight loss back pain night sweats urine abnormalities.	Hello thanks for posting here. Given your history and symptoms, you have high probability of infective endocarditis. It is a disease of the heart valves. IV users are most likely to get right sided infective endocarditis of heart valves because of unsterile methods by which bacteria gain direct access to the heart endocardium. And also, please get your HIV Bag and HCV checked which are transmitted by blood, given your history of iv use. To evaluate infectious endocarditis, you must do a blood culture which is a blood test and a 2 D echo which will demonstrate bacterial growth on the valves of the heart. Take care. Regards.

I was playing tennis and severely pulled my hamstring. 2 days later my whole thy was purple. My concern is the bruising has moved down to my calf then it was sore and now to my ankle and Achilles and now they are sore. Is it normal for the blood to travel down like that?	Hello there, Strenious activities like tennis, involves activities of sudden acceleration and deceleration, making an individual more prone to have soft tissue injuries of thighs, knee and ankle. In your case it appears that you might have hamstring sprain along with injury to Achilles tendon and other tedious structure. I suggest you, kindly consult an orthopaedician for examination and investigative evaluation. Thank you.

We have a soon to be one year old who cries when she makes a bowel movement...it is obvious that she is in a lot of pain....after the bm, she is fine....it is usually solid with a little blood....we have asked the pediatrician and he said just give her more water, and veggies...that we do, but now trying to find a specialist for gastro..	Thank yo for the query. By the description it seems your child is suffering from anal fissure which usually results from hard motion. Passing hard motion is very common i child Chat Doctor. This indeed is a very painful condition. You can apply Vaseline at the anal canal and push a bit inside. This will act as lubricant and smooth passage of stools. Apply this for three to four times a day even if not passing motion for a few days. You can also administer pediatric glycerin pessary half an hour before his usual time of passing motion. Apply An ovate ointment at anal passage - once after passage of motion (after cleaning the child) and once at night. Continue to try adding fluids, vegetables and fruits to the diet and increase its amount regularly, as advised by your current doctor. This is the only remedy in long term. If he has started walking, let him walk and run continuously, this will add up to the exercise and improve bowel movements.

Doctor,I ve been taking tuberculosis medicine for over 8 months now and my medication was extended as a precaution although my tuberculosis is now clear and as of recently my acne has increased a lot. Whenever I skip my medicine,it reduces tremendously. So should I just wait till I finish my medication or take treatment for the acne?	Hi, In all probability your acne is Chat Doctor.

Please help	Thanks for asking in Chat Doctor forum It is not normal to get pimples after every intercourse. Boils/pimples are common if shaved. You can apply point tobramycin/Betadine locally for relief. All the best. Masturbation is not harmful if done only when excited and within limits. All the best.

I took my 5 month old baby to the doctors today for a follow up appointment concerning eczema. I have recently noticed bumps on his neck (at the base of his skull). The Pedi. said this is due to the eczema. I have been trying to research the correlation but I am not coming up with anything. My question to you is what is the correlation?	Hi...eczema while irritating the skin will cause some irritation in the immune system and this is the reason for the bumps which you are noticing. Actually they are lymph nodes which are enlarged. Nothing to worry about.

I woke u[p in the middle of the night and found my neck hurts as does my left side. I thought I might have pulled a "wing" muscle but as the day went on I found it increasingly painful to inhale and my side (from lower to middle back) hurt as well. Help!	Hi thanks for asking question. First you could have simple musculoskeletal pain as you are suspecting. It might be by heavy exercise or weight lifting. Rest and analgesic with hot compression useful for it. Second rule out respiratory problem if suspicious symptoms present like cold or sore throat with fever.X-ray and pulmonary function test seems to be useful for it...PFT useful for diagnosing and differentiating restrictive and obstructive pulmonary disease. If still no benefit then we will do further work up according to more history and physical examination. Take care......
