I m 14 and have been having visual disturbances and hot flashes along with some tingling in arms/legs. I also have swollen have 2 or 3 small pea-sized bumps under my skin on my neck. I also fart a lot I don t believe that s relative but thought I d mention it just in case. I m extremely worried I have something wrong with me. I have been to my doctor twice and I have been to the ER twice I had a CT scan on head and neck came up negative I don t know what to think plz help... I hope its just anxiety

Hello! Welcome and thank you for asking on Chat Doctor! Regarding your concern, I would explain that your symptoms could be related to an inflammatory disorder, including a viral infection. The bumps in your neck could be inflammatory lymph nodes. Anyway, as your brain CT scan has resulted normal, there is nothing to worry about your visual disturbances. I would just recommend performing complete blood count and inflammation tests to exclude inflammation. Thyroid hormone levels should also be done to exclude possible thyroid dysfunction that may trigger these symptoms. Hope you will find this answer helpful! Kind regards,

HI, thanks for using Chat Doctor Penicillin is normally taken 500 mg every 6 to 8 hours, though the dose may vary slightly. This means that it is not likely that it has been used in the right way. The cold is contagious, it is spread by coughing, sneezing-any contact with cough or nasal secretions can result in spread. The Ventolin is your reliever medication and the one you should use if you are having an attack, the Symbicort would not help in an acute attack. Symbicort is a preventer, it used to prevent asthma attacks. If the attack is not resolving, you should be seen by your doctor as soon as possibleUsing a decongestant would help with the nasal symptoms hope this helps

Hi, I m a bodybuilder & just increased my workouts. Also, I had some swelling of the left leg due to extended time on feet at work in tight shoes. Now, I have slight swelling behind the left knee. If I bend deeply or straighten too much, I have pain. Any suggestions on what might be going on?
|
Hello, Pain in the leg and behind the knee which is aggravated by pressing it sounds like a ligament sprain. Use the knee cap, hot water fermentation and give rest to the joint for a week by allowing it to bear less weight. Post that starts exercise and for stability and strengthening the knee joint. An MRI is advised since you are a bodybuilder. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Jay In Chat Doctor.

Hi i have had this pain for a long time now. well ever since ive had my son and its in the lower part of my back. I know i suffer from a weak back since having him, but everytime i want to poo i suffer from pain in my lower back and its a wierd sensation. Could you tell me of any solutions. thanks
|
Low back pain is a very common ailment in females and the cause usually is calcium and vitamin deficiency. Are you taking these supplements? If not start on calcium along with it D3 and also multivitamin supplements. Also add an antioxidant to it. Besides get your general pathology work up done to rule out anemia and diabetes. If the pain persists even one month after this, then get your back examined by an orthopaedician after doing a X-ray.

I am very congested (loose) and would like advise as to what cough medicine I should get. I am leaving for a trip on Tuesday by plane and am anxious about the flight I have no fe ver, no pain sore throat etc. just a lot of head congestion. please advise
|
You can take cough syrups containing Dextromethorphan and Phenylephrine for control of cough and congestion if it is Chat Doctor. However, if you are suffering from severe hypertension, you should not take this syrup. If you have hypertension, you can take medicine containing only Dextromethorphan such as Alex cough lozenges. If you are suffering from cough with a lot of sputum, Then you can take cough syrups containing Ammonium chloride Cetirizine and Phenylephrine which help to bring out the sputum.

|
Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor. Thanks for your query. I understand that you are going through difficult time due to your problems. I presume that you have been diagnosed to have "agoraphobia". This is a phobic-anxiety disorder where the person has excessive fear of being in public or crowded places. Often these persons can have accompanying panic attacks. Effective treatment is available for this problem in the form of medication or counselling. You are already on SSRI medication. So, in addition to that I would advise you to try psychological therapy like CBT. Wish you all the best.

My husband have diabetes out of control and cholesterol high diabetes =473,triglyciride= 948 his sperm count and motility is low not very low but low enough we have to do ivf could it be because of his diabetes and cholesterol that it s low and if he change his diet could it go to normal YYYY@YYYY
|
Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor. Uncontrolled diabetes & lipid profile will alter sperm quality first, then motility & lastly count. If its long-standing, it can cause low count & motility. But it will take equally long time for improvement to be apparent. Plan your treatment accordingly. Wish you good health. Regards.

Hello Sir, I am Vejay and my age is 26. I am sexulally sensitive towards girls and get errection most of the time talking or seeing them, its out of my control. A few days ago I started passing urine with a sensational desire to pass more with a little burn in penis and a little pain / disorder in lower abdomen. My Dr. dignosed it some infection (UTI pehaps) due to too much errection for longer duration. Gave me Citro-soda and tablet containig (flavoxate hydrocloride B.P 200mg). 1 - Is this cure Ok ? 2 - Does to much errection cause urine disorder and iritation ? 3 - I am feeling quite well now after only two dosage but feel irritation while having errection, will it be ok ? 4 - In normal days, I somtimes feel pain in testicals and lower abdomen after longer errection, is it natural ? I rarely mastrubate though and get orgasm while sleeping ocassionally. Thank you,
|
Hello, As you are suffering from urinary tract infections, and for that nitro soda and tablet Favorite is advised, so continue that medications. You can do urinalysis and urine culture sensitivity test. Along with that you can take tablet Of lox OZ and syrup Vital after urologist consultation. Regarding erection problems, I will suggest you to review here with detailed history or consult with the sexologist for detailed examination. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

This is going to sound crazy. This morning, while dressing, I raised both arms to take my shirt from the hanger, and all of a sudden, both arms began to ache in the upper arms and shoulders. The muscles felt as though I had just exercised them to failure. They felt fatigued and achy. It passed in a few moments, but it has me worried. I ve been reading about others on the internet that have experienced this. I have a hunch it may be a problem with my neck. Years ago (a lot of years) my doctor at the time mentioned that I might have a pinched nerve based on the symptoms I described. Lately, my neck has been giving me a lot of pain. The center of pain has always been the left side, but now radiates to the right side. Since I m going in for a check up next week, what should I suggest to my doctor?

Cervical spondylosis Is one of common cause of pain in arms radiation. There may be other causes too like shoulder impingement syn Chat Doctor.

I have Follicular Lymphoma ( initially large cell follicular ) treated with R CHOP and put in remission for 3 years. Relapsed one year ago with follicular only and treated with Rituxan. Had a 3 month remission and than relapsed. Being treated again with Rituxan. Cancer returned to left side of neck and clavicle both relapses. However--I am now experiencing sciatic pain ( with no cause) could this be the lymphoma?38 years old female
|
Hi, Follicular lymphoma is an indolent disease, so the patient leaves with a disease for a long duration. Although the involvement of bone is rare, it can involve any part of the body. You need to undergo MRI of the spine to see for the cause of sciatic pain. It may also give a clue if there is relapse of lymphoma to spine and bone scan also may show the uptake. The involvement of spine can be conformed only with biopsy of the lesion. With the presence of disease elsewhere in the body, biopsy of spine may not be required and requires treatment for lymphoma. Hope I have answered your question.

Hello my 13 month old baby girl has a skin tag as I can describe hanging from her gum where her molar is growing. I see it swollen and shes had fever but shes also had her shots and a cold I dont know if the fever was do to that. Should I be concerned?
|
Hi Dear, Welcome to Chat Doctor. Understanding your concern. As per your query your baby have symptoms of extra growth of skin on the gums which could be due to Johns nodules which are type of gingival cysts oral fibrous, tissue hyperplasia, inflamed mucosa fold Pica Imbricate. Need not worry about it. I would suggest you to apply cold compresses on gum area and apply lidocaine over it as it will relieve pain as it will act like numbing gel. Maintain oral hygiene by gently rubbing a wet cloth on gums and take anti-inflammatory painkiller like Ibuprofen. Consult your pediatrician if the growths impede feeding or seem to cause pain in your child. Hope your concern has been resolved. Get Well Soon. Best Wishes,

I was recently scheduled for some surgery and when i went in for procedure my b/p was 195/126. I have never had high blood pressure before. I went to see my cardiologist who put me on b/p meds. It seemed no one could tell me why my b/p had jumped so much. I complained about feeling tired, confused, etc....Finally i asked general dr. to do thyroid test (which in February 2011 was fine). Today she called to tell me my TSH was 94 - is that even possible and could that be what cause my b/p to soar?
|
Your TSH levels may need to be redone again along with T3 and T4 levels. Apart from that, your high blood pressure could from many causes from as simple a reason as anxiety before surgery. So before knowing the cause of high BP, we should know details like your age, any other health issues like the cause for your surgery etc. As your cardiologist has already put you on antihypertensives, we better wait for 2-3 weeks to see their effect on your BP. You should get your BP measured weekly in the meantime. You may later discuss with your doctor regarding the causes of your Hypertension which in most adult cases is idiopathic(unknown cause or primary), dietary, physical activity and Chat Doctor. Hope I clarified your concern regarding your high blood pressure. Do not hesitate to ask any further questions regarding your condition.

I ve had a pea-sized lump just under the skin on my upper arm for about a year now. It wasn t discolored or painful at all. The other day, I noticed that it was a bit larger and the skin around it had some redness to it. It doesn t hurt, but it feels sore to the touch. What could it be?
|
Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor. I am Chat Doctor. I have read your question and can understand your concerns. If I were your treating physician I would have examined that lump and looked for its mobility under the skin. LIPOMA is usually mobile under TGE skin and one can pinch the skin above this swelling. In your case inflamed lipoma would have been top on my list. Lipoma is benign condition and can be treated conservatively. If it is causing problems then surgical excision is done.I would have prescribed non-steroidal anti-inflammatory

I have had a flu bug since last week. My chest now feels tight, my heart feels like it is beating harder and my vision is blurrier than usual. I have taken erithromycin for a suspected chest infection but it hadn t worked. I am worried as I am so exhausted I haven t left bed in days
|
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. In my opinion you should immediately consult doctor and get done chest x-ray and blood pressure measurement. As flu does not last this long. You might be having chest infection and due to this hypotension has developed. Signs favoring hypotension in your case are1. Rapid heart rate2. Bed ridden3. Blurring of vision. So better to rule out chest infection first. Start intravenous fluids fast to restore your fluid volume. You may need intravenous antibiotics too.

hi, I am salma. last 3 days ago I was going to my dr. before that I had CT scan and the report is coming the report says I had brain cyst in the back side. but I have no pain at all, only when I laugh very loudly then I feel pain in the back and dr. said may be that is not harmful for me. .but when I heard that I have a cyst I am to much upset. now what can I do for myself? what is good diet for me? in future what happen to me?
|
Hi, Thanks for writing in. From the description and response of your doctor, I guess you have an arachnoid cyst in the occipital region. If it was a large one, your doctor would alarm you and advise you accordingly. As you have not mentioned the size of the cyst, it must be a small one. These cysts can be followed up if there are neurological signs and symptoms at a later date. Laughing associated with pain is unlikely due to such cysts. Hope this helps.

my son who is 9 years old has been complaining about stomach aches. This started three weeks ago after he got braces. We gave him tylenol for a couple days after the braces were put on as he was in significant pain. We stopped the tylenol after two days. About three days later he ended up constipated and had significant stomach pain. we had him checked out by a doctor and he was constipated. Over about a week his constipation seemed to be the cause of cramping and stomach pain. It took about four or five days for the constipation to subside and he had pains persistently over those days. He slept fine at night but he complained of pain mysteriously when it was time for school. He ended up missing a week of school. Last week he made it to school but a couple evenings he complained a couple times about stomach pain but he made it to school and seemed to function ok. He had a coupe episodes in the past three days complaining about stomach pain but wehad him lay down a few minutes and he would seem to be fine. Now tonight he complained significantly about stomach pain again crying. This was over about a three hour period and then it subsided tonight right before bedtime. He continues to sleep through the night without episodes. Any thoughts

Hi, welcome to Chat Doctor .com. - in my opinion, repeated pain abdomen could be due to stomach infection, urine infection, renal stones or tuberculosis. - I would like to do urine routine microscopy and culture, ultrasound abdomen and X-ray PUB for stones. - you should do these investigations to diagnose the cause of pain abdomen. I hope this has helped you. Wishing your child good health. Take care.

Good afternoon,I have had an olive size lump/bump on my left collarbone, I want to say for over 5 years now. Well a couple years ago I asked my gynecologist about it and he said it was nothing to concern myself with. Now just a week ago my sister had informed me that I should have my doctor look at it cause it could be a lymph node. I just left the doctors office and he said it was a fatty tissue build up. This is caused by my bone protecting itself from an injury. He then proceeded to inform me that this would not be covered by my insurance since it is cosmic procedure. Im a little skeptical of his diagnosis, what type of doctor would you recommend for me to see regarding this matter?
|
Welcome to Chat Doctor .1. Generally most common cause are lymph node enlargement.2. Other causes are Lipomas (fat), Brachial cleft cyst lately identified.3. To confirm the consistency get an ultrasound soft tissue lesion done. It will give exact content and where it is arising from.4. You need to see surgeon appointment. Hope it helps you. Wish you a good health. Anything to ask ? Do not hesitate. Thank you.

sir my self Aryan Singh ,sir, I have red pimples in my face and I use so many products and go to so many doctors but nothing happen to my face and I use herbal products also but nothing happen but if I use betnobit n so my face pimples go down but if I not use so my face looking very red so please suggest me how can I remove my pimples and redness please sir thank you
|
Thanks for posting your query. Pimples are because of some hormonal changes in body or due to infection. If it is age related hormonal disturbance it will require evaluation a gynecologist or endocrinologist. If it is due to infection you can apply clindamycin gel under guidance of dermatologist. don't be panic as it can be treated using oral and local medication.

Hello, Hope that you re having a good Friday. I have a brief question and am trying to find the right place to go for an idea to what I may have. I have been to 2 foot doctors already that cannot explain the cause of my symptoms. Both of my feet are feeling excruciating pain that emulate from my big toe. One would instantly assume gout, but the appearance does not resemble that of gout. My big toes are both red and the redness spreads and then fades into the rest of my foot. Small bumps have appeared and are very itchy in the isolated areas on my toes where the redness stems from. 3/4 of the distal portion of my toe nails are black while the remaining 1/4 medial portion still looks pink and healthy. I am currently looking for a 3rd opinion in my area and I m located in northern Idaho so a third opinion will take a moment to find that it is w/in a reasonable distance of my location. Might there be any ideas that I could present to the next doctor that I see of what might be the cause of what I have described? Thank you for your time. Adam

Hello, It might be due to inflammatory causes like arthritis or gout. As of now, you can use analgesics/anti-inflammatory combination like diclofenac/serratiopeptidase for symptomatic relief. If symptoms persist better to consult an orthopedic and get evaluated. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Chat Doctor.

My normal temp is 98.6, but it s been all day dropping little by little it is at 97.4. I have been feeling sick for more than a weak, nausea, stomach ache,and headache. I have been very weak and sleepy, I know that I have several gallstones in my bladder for some time, could that b the reason for this ?
|
Hi.noted history of gallbladder stones. It is best if you do a follow-up consult with your doctor, preferably a general surgeon, for physical examination and clinical evaluation. The usual clinical symptoms of a gallstone disease are abdominal pain (usually epigastric to right upper qua Chat Doctor. If there is obstruction, patient may also experience yellowing of the skin and mucosa and elevated bilirubin levels. Abdominal ultrasound and liver function tests may also be requested for further evaluation. Other diagnostics and management (medical and/or surgical, cholecystectomy, if indications are found) will be directed accordingly. Hope this helps. Good day!!~

The bottom of my stomach was hurting than it worked to the right side of my body. so when i lay down it hurt and so many prositions unless i lay on my back. Than it would go up to my shoulder making a sharp pain down to my chest . than it would move over to my chest. I thought i might been pregnant at first . but now i have bleedin from my vagainal area for like a month.

Dear Miss, there are many conditions that can cause the symptoms that you described, but It seems to me like abdominal or gynecological "story". First, it would be helpful to know your age and your medical history. Pregnancy must be always excluded, but it can also be some kind of missed or early abortion that causes vaginal bleeding. Pain that you are describing seems like position-dependent pain, and it can be signed of serious abdominal infection (including pelvic infection) such as intra-abdominal or tuboovarian abscesses. The most common vaginal bleeding is benign, and it is called dysfunctional uterine bleeding, but without more information I cannot give you the right answer. I should know does it bleed after intercourse, during menstruation or all the time? Shoulder pain is usually referred pain from other place like abdominal cavity (for example abdominal infection as I've mentioned before) and also you can feel it associated with abdominal discomfort(especially when you're feeling bloated because bloated stomach makes pressure on Phoenix nerve). My opinion is that there is high possibility that you suffer from endometriosis... So I advise you to do this: 1. Laboratory findings (red blood count to look for anemia, inflammatory markers to look for infection, urinalysis- reinfection, vaginal microbiology tests-STDs, estrogen, progesteron and steroid hormone levels) 2. Ultrasound-abdominal and Gynecological !- to search for intra-abdominal abscesses, tumors, cysts, endometiosis etc. 3. CT scan if needed Also you should obstinate till your symptoms disappear. Good luck.

Hello dear, I understand your concern. In my opinion the absence of intake of medicines might not hamper your pregnancy in your case. Because till now the growth of the fetus is adequate for the gestational age. I suggest you to get your blood work up done to know the HE status. From now on its enough if you take iron rich diet like green leafy veggies, dates,figs, zaggery, liver etc. and iron supplements. The dosage of iron tablet will be based on your HE status. Coming to TT injections you can complete the TT injection 2 doses during the course of pregnancy before delivery.2 doses are given each one month apart. Also take calcium rich diet and calcium supplements. Take healthy nutritional diet. Adequate fluids up to 3 liters per day to prevent urinary tract infection (UTI) is needed. Just I want to tell you regarding the cervical length of 2.8 cm whicChatDoctores to be near to term short cervix. So take strict bed rest. Avoid physical strain to prevent complications.Also, the intercourse might be better avoided keeping in view the short cervix. Usually stick is applied for short cervix but as you are 28 weeks the application of stick might not be that useful. Anyway discuss regarding that with your doctor.Otherwise, nothing to worry. Hope this helps. Best regards...

my 8 year old daughter has a thistle stuck in her finger, and it has become reddened and looks dark. There is no swelling, but you can see a darker spot in the middle of the wound. I cannot see anything to be able to remove it now. Will it go away on its own?
|
Hi dear, If there is anything stuck inside, we need to remove it to avoid foreign body reaction or secondary infection. Just have a look with a magnifying lens, if available, to look for anything stuck there. If not seen, try giving analgesics like paracetamol or ibuprofen 3 times a day for 2 days to reduce pain. A darker spot can be caused by the prick itself. If pain recurs or the area becomes progressively red and swollen, kindly take her to doctor, as this indicates thistle stuck there or secondary infection. Hope I have answered your Quertle me know if I can assist you further Chat Doctor.

hi,on my face black patches are coming can ypu pls tell me why these are coming and help me with remedy.
|
Hi!used, Welcome To Chat Doctor forum, I suppose by black patches you mean PLASMA, which is nothing but dark pigmentation over cheeks. This is usually due to hormonal changes or may be familial, and gets aggravated by sunlight. In females, we commonly see it after delivery or after taking oral contraceptive pills. These patches are very resistant to treatment and once cleared with medicines there is always a possibility of its recurrence. There are various remedies, best is to use a broad spectrum sunscreen daily three times. At night one can use de-pigmenting creams only on the spot. These creams either contain HY Chat Doctor. One can even go for chemical peels from a dermatologist at regular intervals. The latest is the use of lasers, but the results are not very promising as compared to the cost involved. I would advise you to consult a skin specialist and not get carried away by the promises given by a beauty therapist. Regards,

Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ? Please type your query here...my husband had a PICC line inserted earlier today and is complaining of mild chest discomfort. The visiting nurse says it could be vascular spasm and to apply moist heat. Is this cause for concern?
|
The major concern is for lung collapse. A chest x-ray should be done to exclude this complication. Otherwise, the PICC line can cause local discomfort in the arm at the insertion site, but should not cause pain in the chest if it is appropriately positioned.

hello i had unprotected sex on 8/5/10 and my period was due on 9/5/10 and i came on it as usual. however it was a bit lighter than usual and i was worried if i had become pregnant, although many say that if your period came as normal you are not pregnant, and it wasnt within the few days which im fertile. i am still at this stage really worried and stressed about it, my next period after that which began 10/6/10 and finished on 15/6/10 was to a bit light, but i wondered if that was because i have been stressing my self about it. i went to the clinic on 27/5/10 and my test came back negative, and the doctor said there was very little chance that i was pregnant and to wait to see if my next period came in which it did (luckily). i have been getting a few symptoms of pregnancy e.g. tiredness, stomach pain, constipation! although these symptoms can relate to stress and anxiety symptoms also! please please please help me, im worrying myself all too much till i know for certain :(

Hi, Thanks for your query. I understand your concern. - Sex one day before expected day of menses can not cause pregnancy provided the menstrual cycle is regular. Again in spite of all the pregnancy like symptoms, your pregnancy test was -ve... which is confirmatory. - Following two cycles were also in time. But somewhat lesser bleeding. The associated symptoms of fatigue/ constipation/stomach pain are signs of psychological stress & actually your menstrual stress can cause hormonal disturbance & scanty period -Hormonal imbalance due to thyroid problems/ ovarian problems POD fibroid uterus . Also cause problem like you. * Consultation of a gynecologist/ USG abdomen/ thyroid tests would find cause as well as satisfy you about absence of pregnancy. Thanks.

My doctor take menstrual blood and my report shows mycobacterial dna pcr detected and tuberculosis complex is found. Can I get pregnant after 5-9 months course. She told us that after this she may take some more test of tubes if any problem will raise. I am worried about my pregnancy that can I conceive the baby if everything will fine after this, plz guide me.
|
Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor, Menstrual blood Tb PCR is an outdated test, I suggest u go in for endometrial biopsy n the sample to b sent for Tb PCR RNA(NOT DNA), PCR RNA detects only live bacilli whereas PCR DNA also detects dead bacilli. If PCR RNA is positive u need to take treatment for at least 6 months, Following which u may require diagnostic hysterolaproscopy. Today due to advancing technology it is possible to obtain pregnancy in almost any case, al the best.

Hello Doc,I have a query regarding myoclonic epilepsy which was diagnosed to me at the age of 26. I am 31 now, weight 95Kg, height 183cms good built. When this was first reported, the doc advised Valparin Chrono 200mg (4 tab/day) for 3 yrs,EEG and MRI normal. I took it for 6 months and discontinued, then again after 1 yr of first occurrence I had the seizure again. This time I took it seriously and started valparin course again and continued for 3 yrs. After 3 yrs of regular medicine (Sep 2012), I had the EEG done and it came normal so doc advised me to discontinue the medicine. However the issue is the problem has resurfaced in Sep 2013. This time I am in Bangalore and here the docs advised me to take Levepsy 500 twice a day. I just had another seizure out of the blue in Dec 2013 again even after taking the medicine. Need a second opinion from you that if any other scan or something is required. This time after few days have gone by I still feel a soft pain towards the left side of my body from head to toe. May be the after effects of the seizure, I am not sure. Kidnly advise if I need to undergo any other tests or scan and if this is curable through proper medicine course? Thank you!

MY HUSBAND WAS RECENTLY DIAGNOSED WITH HAVING HEMANGIOMAS ON HIS LIVER, KIDNEY AND LUNG. ALL OF HIS LABS WERE NORMAL, HE HAD AN MRI AND CT SCAN THAT VERIFIED THAT.

Hi, Hematomas often do not need treatment, and there is no evidence that people with untreated liver hematomas will develop liver cancer. However, depending on their location, size, and number, some hematomas may be problematic. It is often best to treat a hematoma if it is large and causing symptoms. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Me and my partner havent been with nobody else but ourselves

Degree understand your concerns went through your details. I think your problem is nocturnal emission, but it is a premature ejaculation. Premature ejaculation usually happens because of anxiety.

Dear docs,Id been coughing constantly for nearly a year due to one busy month where I didnt get enough rest. After a chest x-ray, the doctor diagnosed me with Bronchitis. Second opinion said that too. However a third opinion whom is a specialist said that its just mild asthma and right now Im under 50/500 steroid accuhaler. Unfortunately, after a few months of stopping coughing, Ive got a cold and flu. Then, the cough started again. Right now, when I cough, my lungs feel uncomfortable and while breathing, I feel some kind of vibration. This worries me alot because Ive never experienced such before. So am I getting worse now? Are my lungs flooded? What am I having actually? Bronchitis or mild asthma? Should I be concerned?Confused.

Hello madam/sir, welcome to medical care magic.Don't worry. In bronchitis, it gets irritated and starts secreting more mucus. The tube narrows. So to bring out secretion, there will be cough and narrowing of this bronchus which causes difficulty in breathing. Severity of these narrowing almost like spasms is asthma. I hope now you understand what is happening. Severe coughing causes vibration like feeling. You said you had flu which again sensitizes the bronchus. So continue steroid inhaler till you are relieved of breathing difficulty. Definitely avoid dust exposure, steam inhalation -3 to 4 times per day. When you are comfortable start doing breathing exercises which strengthens the walls. With this I hope I cleared your doubts. Any further doubts you are always welcome. Take care. Good health

HiMy Father is having Heart problem and the cardialogist has advised from Angiogram. Based on the results he said that my father may have to undergo angioplasty or open heart surgery. My father is daibetic and is 70 yrs old. My question is when do they suggest Angioplasty and when to they suggest Open heart surgery? Wil the age matter ? How much would it cost of Angioplasty / Open Heart surgery ?
|
Hi Their understand your concern for your fathers health and I would like to tell you that yes age matters a lot as well the complexity of the disease matters. Like if after angiogram is your father got to have a double vessel disease or Triple vessel disease then most likely By pass surgery will be advised and will be beneficial also. Cost varies according to the severity of the disease. Roughly I will range from 2lac to 5 lack depending upon which procedure will be opted. I wish him good health

I have done my MRI in feb 11 report is saying the left centro lateral disc protrusion at c6-7 level, compressing the thecal sac and the cord, encroaching the left neural foramen and indenting left exiting nerve root . Posterior disc protrusion at c5-6 level, compressing the thecal sac and indenting the anterior cord surface. Subtel hyperintense signal in cord at c6-7 level on T2W images, suggestive of edema/ ischemia . Please reply me, should I go for the surgery or it will cure by medicine.
|
Dear sir/madam unfortunately this is a kind of damage that can be resolved only by surgery. Medicine may relieve your pain but the problem will advance, and the situation will worse as time pass. You should consult to a neurosurgeon to explain you more and proceed to surgery. Wish all the best

Hello Doctor,Fir the past week I have been waking uobwith burning and red cheeks.. It feels like my face is on fire and usually lessens as the day goes on but then comes back. I have had a history of this in the past vut it hasnt cime back since 4. Years ago. it doea not itch, its just red and feels hot. It usually occurs during this time so I am thinking it is some sort of allergy. It occurs during the spring and gies away by the time summer starts. In the past i have been prescribed elidel, protopic and mometasine furoate. The mometasone does not seem to helo and makes my face more red and even hotter. What can I do?

I was given conversyl and bisopropol for my high blood pressure. I should also mention I have suffered with panic attacks for 40 yr now. and take xanax for that. My panic attacks have increased dramtically since being on the HB meds and I had to go off. I am still nervous and edgy. How do I wean myself off this stuff.?
|
U have high blood pressure and associated anxiety disorder in terms of panic attacks.converse and bisoprolol are Chat Doctor. U have said that you are taking only Xanax for your panic attacks. Actually Xanax is benzodiazepine alprazolam, and it does not benefit your illness, it will only calm you. For better treatment response u shut take antidepressant medication sertraline. Start with 50 mg once a day at night and increase the dosage after 15 days to 100 mg at night.stop alprazolam [Xanax], instead u shut start Klonopin [0.5 mg] twice a day. If after starting Klonopin u feel more sedation during the daytime u can reduce the daytime dosage to 0.25 and increase the nighttime dosage... the effect of the sertraline will be achieved after 20 to 30 days. U shut wait at least 30 days for treatment response before changing the medication but u shut keep in mind that the dosage of sertraline can be increased up to 200 mg once a day in case there is no treatment response.u shut take these medications regularly for 6 to 8 months and after decrease the dosage as per experts advice...

I had a decayed tooth pulled out about a month ago and the area is still healing. But When I floss around that area I still smell decay. And just the last few days I have noticed that when I have a bowel movement it also has a decay smell to it. (The smell is not everyday, but enough for me to be concerned). Like my tooth did. Is this normal? I am not sure if I should see my dentist again or call my Regular Doctor. The Dentist did a great deal of work on my teeth. Deep root cleaning,( They used A LOT of Novocaine). And I have very very bad TMJ. So I lost a great deal of weight in this process as it hurt so bad to eat. I drank smoothies and such, but was shaky every morning when I woke up. I had to force myself to eat. I am eating now (and it still hurts my TMJ just not AS bad)...Solid foods and then I noticed the decay smell off and on with my bowel movements STILL. I floss and brush with a special toothpaste they prescribed to me. It is called SF 5000 PLUS. I am poor and am on The Government Insurance UnitedHealthcare NPN . So my options are limited to the care I can receive. Please HELP. As this is a very big concern to me. Thank you so much. Nancy Fries Dye.

Hello, thank you for consulting with Chat Doctor. Actually there is no relation of tooth decay and bowel movement, yes, but it can be possible that you might be having a stomach infection which is leading to this smell. And if there is smell in extracted site, then it means there is still healing going on. So better that you consult your general physician for bowel problem. Hope it will help you.

Hello doctor. I am a 20 yr girl from Andaman,presently living in Kolkata,India. I have been through so many bad situations since childhood. Faced so much,n watched n got so much pain n bad things. And like since 4yrs,when I was in class 11th,I became very deemed. I lost all my qualities like- I became poor in studies,I cant sing like I used to,I cant do anything perfectly as I used to do. And I feel suicidal all the time.I feel like nobody likes me.I Want to cry but I am not able to. I wanna get rid of everything which I feel. Please help.

Hi, I went through your query and can understand the distress you might be facing. Difficult life situations tend to make our life very stressful and makes it tough for us to cope. The symptoms that you have mentioned are suggestive of depressive disorder. You should also talk to your parents regarding your condition. You should seek treatment immediately, more so since you are having suicidal thoughts too. The medications for depression are prescription medicines, and you should consult a local psychiatrist for treatment. Had I been your treating psychiatrist, I would have started you on one of the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors like Escitalopram. The medicines usually take time to show its effect, so you will have to be patient about the response. In addition to medications, you can also consider treatment with psychotherapy like cognitive behavior therapy where frequent (once to twice-weekly) sessions are needed and focus is on changing the thinking patter, teaching relaxation. Hope this information was helpful. Wishing you a speedy recovery. Treatment with

I just noticed an indentation at the very top of my head/skull. Right in the middle. I don t recall any head trama or hitting it recently. I am bald so I m certain this happened overnight or just today. It s about the size of a dime. My skull feels raised around the indentation. What could this be? My wife says she can viviy see it too
|
Hello, There can be some injury in the past which you may have forgotten. That has caused depression of the skull bone leading to such feeling. I would suggest you to meet a doctor and get your self examined. Though it will not require any special treatment. Thanks

Recent gb ultrasound report states that my liver demonstrates a diffuse increase in echo texture (prior result was moderate increase in echo geniality). The extra hepatic common duct measures 3 mm in diameter (prior was 5 mm). The right kidney measures 10.1 cm (prior: 10.1 cm). Impression was hepatic steatosis.
|
Hi there, I often get referrals for ultrasound findings seen in relation to liver and gallbladder issues. The diffuse increase in echo texture means that you have a bit of a fatty liver, which in itself can be normal due to aging. This can lead to NASH (nonalcoholic steatohepatoses), which is a fancy way of saying you have fat that is damaging your liver. This isn't necessarily reversible, but you can limit the amount of damage that is done to your liver by limiting your alcohol intake, and staying away from fatty foods. Your hepatic ducts are within normal size, and the range can be anywhere from 2 mm to 7 mm, depending on your age and liver function. I wouldn't worry about this. Your right kidney seems fine and again, no cause for concern. Overall, you have hepatic stenosis which means fatty liver. Stay away from fatty foods, alcohol, and limit your Tylenol intake to no more than 2 grams per day (and only if you absolutely need it). I'd also recommend you get a repeat liver ultrasound in 6 months to a year, as well as have your liver enzymes checked. I hope I have answered your questions. Please feel free to contact me if you have any further questions or if you feel I haven't ad Chat Doctor.

I had all four of my wisdom teeth removed just over two weeks ago. A few days ago, I noticed what I would describe as a white skin tag connected to the side of where one of my teeth were removed. Today I noticed a similar tag on the opposite side of my mouth. It has been a bit painful. What could this be and is it normal?
|
Hi and welcome, As you have mentioned you have got your wisdom teeth extracted two weeks ago so I can expect normal healing and closed socket at the extraction site. White skin tags with pain are may be due ulceration at the extraction site or super infection of the healing tissue due to food lodgment or other debris. I suggest you to maintain good oral hygiene by regular tooth brushing and gentle flossing of the area. Use antiseptic mouth wash like Betadine or chlorhexidine for 2 to 3 times in a day which will promote faster healing and will prevent infection. These white tags will subside in coming 5 to 7 days. You can apply oral antiseptic anesthetic ointment like McCoppin topically over the affected area to relieve the pain.I hope this helps you, take care

Hi I am 43 year man and i suffering from chest pain from last 2 years. I have done cardiography before 6 months but there was no problem reported but i still have chest pain and some time i feel fine. So pls suggest me what can i do Thanking you
|
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. No need to worry about heart diseases because your angiography is normal. You are having chronic non-cardiac chest pain. Most common cause for this is Costco Chat Doctor. Another common cause is stress and anxiety related chest pain. So better to follow these steps for symptomatic relief. 1. Avoid stress and tension, be relaxed and calm. 2. Avoid movements causing pain. 3. Avoid bad postures in sleep. 4. Avoid heavyweight lifting and strenuous exercise. 5. Apply warm water pad on affected areas. 6. Take painkiller like ibuprofen and anti-inflammatory

I am having a hard time walking on my left foot. I have pain in my arch and on top of my foot when I walk on it. there is no swelling. Pain level from 1 - 10, I am a 7 - 8. it hurts more when I lift my foot to take a step and when I put my full weight on it.
|
Hello, It could be a plantar fasciitis. As of now you can use analgesics / anti-inflammatory combination like diclofenac / seratiopeptdase for symptomatic relief. If symptoms persist better to consult an orthopedic and get evaluated. In severe cases steroid injection to the foot may be required. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

I live in Fresno ca and have been in the hospital for two and half weeks for colorectal cancer. I signed up for anthem blue cross and the hospital sent me home. They say I need treatment but no dr excepts anthem blue cross. What do I do? I am too young to die. I am 49 years old
|
Treatment of colorectal cancer depends on the stage of cancer. I will advise u to do colonoscopy test along with CT scan of whole abdomen and chest. U also need to blood for CEA test. K RAS mutation test is also suggested found in early stages then surgery followed by adjuvant chemotherapy is an option but if found in stage 4 then palliative chemotherapy along with targeted therapy is advised. Regards Chat Doctor.

dear sir lab report shows that there is elevation in my SGOT and SGPT value of blood is high. taking LIVOGEN. I am worried about my liver . I completely quit consumption of alcohol . Please advise whether I can travel and join my new job in gulf ! Thanking you
|
Hello. Welcome to Chat Doctor. Alcohol can damage liver, and complete repair may take months to years. This form of liver damage is represented by elevated SGPT and GOT levels. Though per se these elevations are not a reason for you to not join, it will be best to test yourself for entire liver profile including viral markers and thus decide accordingly. Many times these tests will also be done for new employees both in India and abroad. Take care

Hello,doctor, iam from INDIA. my brother is getting a severe pain on his both the feet.he is alcoholic .. nerve study sesory neropathy disease. he can neither walk nor put his feet down.our family doctor suggested to give him Eldervit 1.2 im,injection once in a week for 4weeks.can you please let us know about his condition.THANKS A Lot doctor. YYYY@YYYY

Hi, thank you for providing the brief history of your brother thorough neuromuscular assessment is advised. Based on your history it appears that due to high consumption of alcohol the nerve has got affected and entered the neuropathy.furthermore, along with Medicine try doing physical therapy along with the same. Usually a combination of medicine and physical therapy helps to improve the functional ability. Also, medicine prescribed are symptomatic and one need to focus on long term rehab. Along with physical therapy there will be an improved metabolism, muscle strength, immune system, etc. In my clinical practice I advise my patients to undergo a combination of both as it clicks better. Also, check the blood sugar level at regular intervals using the laboratory as electronic device may misguide you due to errors. Check the kidney function test and creatinine levels too. Performing a diagnostic ultrasound will help to see the functions of the liver as well. Working out with proper ladder for the symptoms will help plan a better rehabilitation program. RegardsJay In Chat Doctor.

My wifes latest creatinine is 3.9 and a eGFR of 14. She is African-American. A month ago they were 2.06 & 28. The cardiologist who ran the tests said she would run another next week & then make a decision as to whether to recommend a nephrologist referral. I think we should be seeing one NOW. ALSO, what stage of CKD would you assess this to be, 4 or 5?
|
First we need to look if she has -acute renal failure(ARF) or -CKD or-ARF on She has to undergo a battery of investigations like urine routine, sonography, CBC. If it is a CKD she falls in stage 5 as per the EFR.you have to see nephrologist at the earliest. Thanks

Ok.. so i have redness around my knuckles on my hands , and under the thumb by my wrist and up a little towards my thumb on both hands. No itch , no burn , doesnt bother me at all,,,,only mentally! haha.. feels really really dry though. I have overly used handsanitizer because my baby cousin has ringworm that wont be covered, so every time i touch her or she touches me, i use handsanitizer and wash my hands constantly. i know its good to wash your hands alot, but you think i could be over doing it? my hands feel very tight like theyre dry as hell. and where the redness is, its very dry. Any suggestions? one more thing, ive always had a little discoloration around my knuckles, and ive been working at this place for 7 months now, and we clean the tables with watered down bleach spray, but my hands touch it constantly. im around alot of bleach but dont exactly touch the bleach directly. Pick up the towel that i used to wipe the floor when there was bleach on the floor, and just that rag that we use alot with the watered down bleach on it. any ideas?? dry skin??

Hello, Diaries 150 mg tabs is commonly a single dose treatment. It is very effective but should not be taken in cases of hepatic or kidney impairment. Alcohol should not be taken while taking any medication. You have not mentioned here why you are taking Benson. Dicaris is used to treat parasitic worm infections, but it is also used in combination with chemotherapy in the treatment of Colon, neck cancer or melanoma. The dosage depends upon the pathology being treated. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Hi. It could be possible due to masturbation and caused by friction. Tell him to avoid masturbation for a few days and apply an antibiotic soothing cream like Tobramycin or Silver after cleaning and Chat Doctor. They should resolve over the next week to ten days and always keep the area

Hello. I am a 41 yo male. 62. 227 lbs. I just had blood work. Everything back normal except sgot was 79. I have just started exercising harder and eating less. I am worried. Should I be concerned? Lipids, etch. All other liver measurements were normal. Cardiac work up was just normal.
|
Hi, Thanks for asking. Based on your query, my opinion is as follows.1. Not to worry. GOT is only mildly raised.2. Alone it does not have any significance. As all your other values are normal, not to worry. It might be increased due to exercise. It's not specific to liver and also found in skeletal muscle and heart.3. As cardiac workup is also normal, it is secondary to exercises. More skeletal muscle, GOT can be more. Not to worry. Continue nutritious diet and exercise moderately. Hope it helps. Any further queries, happy to help again.

Hi, I have a sore red line that has appeared behind my knee the line is horizontal across the whole back of my knee. The sore looks and feels a bit like a graze. When this appeared I also had a red itchy rash on my lower legs. This rash has calmed down now, but there is still a few signs remaining. I have recently done an abnormal amount of walking which I think might be the cause, as I am finding that my legs are now stiff and tight, and I do not have the same range of motion I had before when bending. I m sure my legs will recover soon, but is there any advise you can give me to aid my recovery. I am stretching my legs daily and apart from keeping my legs clean I m not to sure what else I can do.
|
Hi Looks like you have developed intertwine over the knee folds. This occurs due to maceration of skin at the folds due to increased sweating. Now this leads to fungal infection most commonly at the folds. You might need to apply a topical antifungal cream and take some oral antifungals along. Take antihistamines for the itching. Hope it helps Chat Doctor.

I am a 62year old woman from India.I have been taking Angizar H (50mg) for the past 8 years. I suffer from joint pains and take microcid one tablet everyday.Presently am on a holiday in the UK where isnt available.I tried Ibufren (800).I find I have gained weight about 3 kegs.Can you tell me what is the reason for this?
|
Hello, I have studied your case. Ibuprofen or any other painkiller causes sodium retention and increase water content of the body leading to weight gain. So I would recommend you following.1. Rather than Ibuprofen you should take either Attract or paracetamol or Etoricoxib daily.2. Hot water fomentation and volition ointment is helpful.3. Avoid squatting, sitting cross leg and staircase climbing. I OPEX these steps will be helpful for you. Let me know if there is any other followup questions. Thanks

Dear Doctor! I have had pain on my left abdominal side for a while now. The pain starts from my left abdominal side, moves on to my left chest and then back to where my shoulder blades are. The pain can be sharp, burning or very constant. I have had many EKGs done, blood tests and all possible tests you can imagine but it all came out clear. I am going crazy, the pain comes and goes, usually stays for a 1-2 weeks and then disappears for a while and comes back again. Please help me! Sincerely, A frustrated patient
|
Hi. Thanks for your query and an elucidated history. It is good that doing EKG and other test the heart problem has been ruled out. Yet, it is better to get a cardiac consultation from a Cardiologist to undergo further investigations like Eco-cardio and so on. Another reason can be recurrent colitis or HERD. I would advise you the following:-Upper GI Endoscopy as you have burning pain, it is recurrent.-CT scan of the chest and abdomen as sometimes there are hidden problems which can be detected only on CT.-MRI of the spine- as the disc prolapse can cause you such weird problems. Once the diagnosis is made, treatment is easy.

Hi I am 21 years old and have been with my boyfriend for three years and this whole time I been trying to get pregnant we have inter course everyday with no protection and I dont get my period every month what is a way to get pregnant ? Please help thank u
|
Hi, There could be several reasons. You may not be ovulating regularly, local factors like a introverted uterus, anti-sperm antibodies or tubal factors may be working against or there could be a male factor. All these need proper investigation and treatment if any needed. You may need a complete hormonal profile, tubal patency tests, trans-vaginal sonogram, blood counts and urinalysis apart from a complete physical examination. Your partner also needs to get assessed. Hope your query is clarified. Take care.

Hi, my 10 yr old daughter is always sick, she gets strep throat minimum 5 times a year, she has had mono, scarlet fever and now shingles. She also has had 2 kidney infections that required her to go to the hospital and now has scarring on her kidneys. She does also get frequent sinus, throat and ear infections. Is there a reason why she is always getting sick?
|
Hi, What I think about from your history is post streptococcal glomerulonephrities, It presents with sore throat followed by hematuria swelling on face, kidney infections, fever. You will have taken some investigation like, Sr.creatinine, Sr.urea, Throat swab culture and sensitivity, Urine routine microscopy, And visit a nephrologist for expert opinion and management.

For the past year I have been having a bunch of odd symptoms. I feel unsteady at times, I get a tremor in my left hand sometimes, I have an irregular heartbeat, I get ringing in the ears, my back is sore, my eyesight is blurrier sometimes moreso than others, I was diagnosed with acid reflux, I don t sleep well and was diagnosed with sleep apnea, I have ringing in my ears that comes and goes. I previously had a cardiac ablation and have had several ekgs that all came back normal. I was diagnosed with Lyme s Disease 20 years ago and treated, but I work outside near woods and wonder if I either got it again or if it never was totally cured. I am young and pretty healthy, and I need some ideas as to what this could be. I also have been to see a neurologist and had a brain mri that came back clean. Could it be Lyme s even though my last blood test came back negative? I know the blood test is not all that accurate. Should I ask for a Western Blot test to be taken?
|
Hello! Welcome on Chat Doctor! I passed carefully through your question and would explain that Lyme disease can mimic all this clinical scenario. A thyroid dysfunction can not be excluded either. Coming to this point, I would recommend repeat the blood lab tests for Lyme disease and perform a Western Blot test too. From the other hand, it is necessary also performing further tests to investigate for other possible causes: - a chest X-ray study-complete blood count, PCR, ESR for inflammation- a cardiac ultrasound- an ambulatory 24-48 hours ECG monitoring in order to examine your heart rhythm trends for a prolonged time and exclude possible cardiac arrhythmia- thyroid hormone levels for possible dysfunction. You should discuss with your doctor on the above issues. Kind regards,

Hi, I have been diagnosed with PCOS. All the tests are normal. My Gynae has put me on Duphaston for past 4 months, M2 Tone syrup, and vitamin tablets. Is the following treatment right and how many months should i have to be on Duphaston to conceive?
|
Hi, I think you should go for ovulation induction that means the medicines which help in increasing number and size of eggs. Phaeton alone might not work. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

sir if i m doing masturbating two times in a week nd m doing it since 6 year nd i m of 23 then m i able to become father m not married yet bt i will be married after 4 year nd i will keep on doing masturbating (hand practise with penis) sir please tell me

HelloThanks for query. Based on your statement it seems that you are indulged in masturbation twice a week and worried about your fertility in the future. Masturbation is one of the safest way of getting pleasure of sexual satisfaction without having intercourse with female partner, and it is natural and normal for a man to practice it at the young age.First there is myth in a mind of common man that excessive masturbation is the reason of all sexual problems But I would like to state that it has been discussed in scientific forums all over the world and proved scientifically that masturbation does not have any negative effect on any organ or system in the body. Do not worry if you make it a point not to get in to habitual and frequent masturbation there is no reason why you should not father a child after marriage. Chat Doctor.

I have a small white lump that my dentist said was an ulcer at the back rear side of my tongue. Not painful or inflamed, about 3mm in diameter. Can only see it when stick tongue right out. No change in size or surrounding area. Had it about 4 months and it is not painful. Do not know its there until I look!
|
Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query. The ulcer could be a traumatic ulcer secondary to repeated trauma by the sharp teeth, or it can be fungal infection, or it can be tubercular ulcer. If the ulcer is there for more than 15 days then get it biopsied. Consult your oral physician and get it diagnosed. I hope my answer will help you. Take care

I am 73 woman diagnosed with high bp; doctor prescribed lisinophil (water) 12.5 and 50 mg er metopholol. Have taken for about 2 months; about 3 weeks ago started having palpitaions during the night with irregular heart beats; some nites kept me awake; the palpitations happening sometimes during daytimes. Last few nights the palpitations and irregular heartbeats have come not as bad but I want to get off this metropolol for tiredness and low bp readings 90/60 110/70 106/66, etc. Have to take this pill for two more nights before I can see the doctor and am feeling very scared for the palpitations and irregular beats at night about 20-30 min after I take the pill... help.

Hello, This can be a cardiac arrhythmia like atrial fibrillation, in which heart rate suddenly goes up and also suddenly decreases. Blood pressure falls during these episodes and one can have dizziness, fainting, blackouts, sometimes syncope. Usually ECG is normal as it is usually done in between the episodes. ECG done during episodes will show abnormality. You will need 24 hour holder monitoring. So visit nearby cardiologist for this investigation. Also, hemoglobin and thyroid test should be done. Is there any stress or anxiety associated, as it can lead to palpitations. Also, Rather than stopping, metoprolol dose can be decreased to 25 mg or better option, you can ask to decrease the dose of lisinopril. Stopping metoprolol can cause increase in palpitations. The decision will be taken after seeing the ECG, as what the cause of palpitations and all. If BP goes down, you can have salt and sugar water whenever needed basis.

For recurrent fever, first you have to go for blood investigation to isolate the cause. For treatment, you can take some antibiotic preferably CEA Chat Doctor. Take some steroids as suggested by your doctor as the problem is persistent.

### Answer: For recurrent fever, first you have to go for blood investigation to isolate the cause. For treatment, you can take some antibiotic preferably CEA Chat Doctor. Take some steroids as suggested by your doctor as the problem is persistent.

My daughter is 31 mos and has always been the gassy child persay. At times we are very concerned about the bloating and bulge. She would rather drink than eat. Her stomach gets very large and firm to the touch. She is the child that gets sick very easily and goes rounds with bronchialitis. We have discussed this with her pediatrician a few times and did xrays but nothing further. Should we push for a specialist. She is just a little peanut and I don t want to miss something if there is an issue. Thank You Rebecca Z.

All the symptoms you describe are not an unusual combination for the child. While the glassiness and bloating may all be due to what is commonly called "lactose intolerance", repeated attacks of bronchiolitis are not related to the abdominal problems in any way. Please get a stool tested for lactose intolerance. If this is discovered, she will need lactose-free formula and lactose-free dairy products. This will help her reduce the stomach bloating and glassiness and enable her to put on weight. This, in turn, may improve her immunity sufficiently to protect herself against repeated attacks of respiratory illnesses.
