Thank You!!!!!!

Hello, Thank you for consulting with Chat Doctor. According to your symptoms it looks that the root canal which was done in your tooth has not been done properly, the swelling and pressure on eye which you are mentioning can be the infection only which is progressing. Better that once you should visit an Oral Surgeon get a full mouth X-ray done, which will show the complete area of infection. After that he will start the treatment accordingly. Hope it will help you.

I know a child who has a very large jawbone. It is a student I taught whose jaw was 4 or 5 times as large as a normal one. Is this some form of elephantitus? What causes this and what can be done about it? Is surgery an option? The boy s teeth are constantly exposed and are rotting with decay and odor.
|
Hello, It can be a proganathism. Other possibilities like admantinoma also be ruled out. Consult a maxillofacial surgeon and get evaluated. A CT scan is required to assess the severity. Surgical correction is possible in most of the cases. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care

I have my chest xray and stated there that i have a suspicious densities on both upper lobes..and suggest to have another xray.. But when i came back to the doctor and read the findings. He told me that everything is okay and don t need to have another xray.. May questions is that okay that i never have aanother xray?? I suffered coughing for almost 3weeks.. Only coughing.. No fever.. Thank you
|
Sir many a time the radiologist may over report a normal film so if your physician feels its normal you may wait. Without seeing the film my commenting whether It's normal or not is not valid. However, if you have cough for more than 3 weeks, and it is persistent, tuberculosis is one reason if only you stay in an endemic area. Also, if you are smoker and your age is more than 50 years, and if symptoms persist, I would suggest HRCT chest to one and for all rule out any pathology. Regards

I am a 18 year old boy n hav kidney stone. 2 to 3 days back I m hav burning sensation while urination and today even blood came out with the urine a little. I often have stomach parins due to the stones. what could be d problem ?
|
Hello, burning sensation usually refers to having an infection. However the passage of blood can be due to the passage of stone. Pain can be due to the movement of the stone in the ureters which will cause pain. Pain in the stomach can be due to the painkillers you might be taking for stones.I would advise you to get yourself a thorough medical examination including blood calcium levels, urine microscopy, culture and also a gastrostomy to rule out gastritis. If the symptoms worsen contact your emergency number.I hope I have answered your query. Take care

Over 5 years ago had been referred to hospital for biopsy on cervical lymph nodes as several swollen but was refused biopsy by hospital. Over 2 years ago I found a small rock hard lump under each of my ears, at the angle of my jaw, they did not hurt and do not move and doctors dismissed them. Afew months after that my lower jaw became numb, lumps getting bigger. Told by doctor numbness caused by virus and lumps are boney protrusions. 6 months after that diagnosed with pernicious Anemia by which point most of face numb. Still tired blood levels normal, lumps gradually getting bigger and feeling of fullness in jaw and behind ears. Doctors are still refusing to do anything, based on nothing, no biopsies no imaging. I m 28 year old female and very concerned.

Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You have hard lump under each of your ears. You should go for X-ray or ultrasound study to search whether it is bone protrusion or some other mass. Then if needed go for biopsy of that lump. It can be lymphoma or some other mass. Your pernicious anemia has no relation with mass. You should go for vitamin B12 level & intrinsic factor testing to confirm the diagnosis. Then you should take treatment accordingly. Hope I have answered your question. If you have any doubts then feel free to ask me. I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Wish you a very good health.

my 24 month old grandson recently had an ear infection Friday he went for his follow-up and the Dr. said infection gone but he have water in his ear how do I remove the water. If the water remains in his ear will it eventually cause another infection?
|
Hello. I just read through your question. This is not uncommon. Sometimes fluid can remain in the ear after the infection is gone, and sometimes this can lead to another infection. In most cases, though, fluid in the ears resolves on its own. You should follow up with your doctor in about one month to confirm this. If the fluid is still there, your doctor may want your grandson to be seen by an ENT. Until then, however, there is nothing to do.

hi i was with my mum the other day and she was totally fine and later that evening she had what was like a fit but without the shaking she was ok one minute and gone blue and had passed out the next and came round after about 2 minutes her heart rate was high when ambulance came what as caused this
|
Hello Thanks for posting here. Going by your description it looks like she has got arrhythmia. Arrhythmias are disturbances in the heart rhythm which can cause such symptoms. When heart beats become fast and irregular or there is a short pause between beats, the brain does not receive blood supply for that moment. That's why she gets the episodes like fainting or fit like episodes. The fast heart rate which she got later may be due to compensatory action of the heart after an arrhythmia event. She has to get an ECG done which may show an arrhythmia event. If not detected on ECG, then a 24 hour holder monitoring which records the ECG throughout for 24 hours when the patient is home should be done.Meanwhile, a 2 D echo should be done to see whether there is any new onset cardiac event which is responsible for the same. The above symptoms can also occur due to narrowing of the heart valves which can be demonstrated by 2 D echo. Wishing her good health. Regards.

Especially when i m under stress or fatigue .

Hi, Thanks for posting your query. Hi, Thanks for posting your query. With the available described symptoms, there could be possibility of peptic ulcer disease, acute pancreatitis or cholecystitis. Peptic ulcer disease is caused by Helicobacter pylori bacteria and which may be in form of follicular gastritis, nodular gastritis, gastric and duodenal ulcer, and adenocarcinoma of stomach. You should consult with internal medicine specialist/ gastroenterologist and should go for thorough check up. You should also go for ultrasound imaging, endoscopy and serum amylase and lipase. Furthermore, you should also go for urea breathe test for H. Pylori. Eradication of H. pylori is required for complete treatment of peptic ulcer disease. Treatment of H. pylori contains two antibiotics and proton pump inhibitors, and you should take under guidance of local doctor. Take care,

The last couple of days I have had lower back pain and abdominal pain at the same time. It sems to be pushing against my bladder and making me use the bathroom more frequently. I have not done anything out of the ordinary, and i feel a like i can stretch the pain out of my back, but it is very sore by the top of my buttocks. Doesthis sound serious?
|
Hi Thanks for using Chat Doctor Forum, There is no need to worry. Anxiety and Stress can lead to many problems. I advise you to do an X-Ray PUB to rule out mild stone formation in the Kidney as per your symptoms. Kidney stone if found for less than 5 mm it will pass away in urine in few weeks by Chat Doctor. Urgency to pass urine and low back pain is also a symptom leading to Kidney stone. I advise you to do the examination to start treatment at the earliest. I Hope I Provided Useful Information. Do ask Further Questions to help You get well soon. Regards

Hi, Im just wondering if I could really benefit from braces or if you think that they would be good for me. Well about twelve months ago at my family dentist appointment I was told that they recommend getting braces to fix a couple of things, but at my recent appointment they didnt say anything about it. Im most likely scheduling an appointment at a local orthodontics soon but I want to get an opinion before going in. The reason I want to get braces is because I just hate how my teeth look. I have a slight overbite and some crooked and spaced out teeth. I think braces could fix it, what do you think? Thanks
|
Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Read your query. Yes an orthodontist will be in a better position to help you evaluate whether you need an orthodontic treatment or not. Correction of overbite along with spacing of teeth will usually require an orthodontic correction but planned properly. Once the treatment is started, completion and maintaining it well is very important. Hope this was useful. Thanks and regards.

I am 65 years of age. I feel that I am unable to void urine fully and so am compelled to frequent urination . Urination is better while sitting. Ultrasound findings are mild prostatomegaly, 33 x 41 x 39 mm with a volume of 28.9 cc. PSA is ok. There is one cyst on each kidney , until ocular cortical cyst 14 mm in rt kidney and unilocular parapelvic cyst 44x46 mm in left kidney. Please advise on treatment.
|
HiT hanks for the query. The problems while passing urine could well be due to the enlarged prostate. See a urologist who can prescribe medications like tamsulosin which are helpful in this condition. The renal cysts are usually benign and need no active treatment. We need to monitor their size by doing a yearly scan. Hope this helps Good luck

Pain on right side underneath the rib cage. All tests at the ER (X-rays, bloodwork, urine sample,etc..) came back perfect. Feel a popping when i lay on that side. Pain is better over several days but it is still hard to twist my torso or breath in deep.
|
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your situation and problem. Since your routine tests are normal, no need to worry about major disease. Your right sided pain is mostly due to muscular pain. So better to follow these steps for symptomatic relief. 1. Avoid heavyweight lifting. 2. Avoid strenuous exercise. 3. Avoid bad postures in sleep. 4. Avoid painful movements. 5. Start painkiller and muscle relaxant. 6. Apply warm water pad on affected site. Don't worry, you will improve by all these.

I get a dizzy sensation when I lie down from a sitting position and the reverse, lying down to sitting up. also get dizzy when I tilt my head backwards- as when I put eyedrops in my right eye. What would cause this dizziness. I was in Hawaii in May 2013 (extremely hot - no air contitioning) and the dizziness started then. Can you explain what would cause this problem?

Consult your doctor for further management. Feel free to ask me if you have any further queries. Wish you good health. Take care. Regards

A family friend of mine has been diagnosed with malignant ascites with no definite location of cancer. She s being bounced around from DR to DR. They suspect stomach cancer but her PET scan showed no hot spots. I am trying to help her through this process. We are just confused as to the cause of it. She has an extreme ulcer that she has been dealing with for a year. Original biopsy of ulcer came back negative. They are doing another endoscopy this week with ultrasound and deeper biopsy. She has lost over 60lbs this year and severe muscle mass. Nobody will give her an answer or outlook. Everything I m reading online states that malignant ascites has a bad prognosis. But why doesn t anything show up on a PET scan?
|
Hi. Thanks for your query and history. Read and understood your concern for your friend with malignant ascites. I hope the fluid from abdomen shows cancer cells as a confirmed diagnosis. PET scam has its own limitations, it may not show up everything. Malignant ascites means stage 4 disease and refs palliative treatment. Some anticancer injections are available to be instilled in the abdominal cavity to help the patient. Take her to the cancer hospital for further advise and care.

Hi I am enquiring about my 10 year old who woke crying last night with abdominal pain and pain in the lower right side, she was already admitted to hospital in May with something very similar but they found nothing even though she had been passing out and all, I am quite worried about her but they have ruled out celiac and appendix, what else should I be looking for do you think
|
Dear madam, celiac disease isn't actually the first thing to think about. Did she have some other symptoms such as diarrhea or vomiting? There are many causes of abdominal pain at this age, but the most common are abdominal cramps, gastroenteritis, appendicitis, gastritis, intussusception, food allergies, pyelonephritis, Gynecological, Referred pain. If it already happened as you said than she should do detail work up including some imaging tests such as US or CT scan. You should check that there is no some particularly food that trigger this pain. Wish you good health,

Hello Your semen analysis findings may indicate semen infection with low sperm motility. Infection is indicated by presence of few pus cells in semen. You may need investigations like routine hologram, random blood sugar, semen culture and sensitivity. You may need to take antibiotics based on culture and sensitivity report. Motility should be at least 55 %. Your findings suggest over all 30.5% overall motility, so it is low. Sperm count is normal. It should be at least 20 millions/ml. Your findings suggest 76 millions/ml, so it is normal. Fertility is expected to increase with control of infection. If findings persists then you may need additional fertilization techniques like GUI. You should take nutritious diet and do exercise. Get well soon. Take Care Chat Doctor.

I work out on a daily basis but yesterday i was during sit-ups on my exercise ball. As soon as i went to lift up there was this stabbing pain in my chest. I can also feel it in my back adjacent to where the chest pain is. It hurts when i am trying to turn my neck as well.
|
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. By your history and description, possibility of musculoskeletal pain is more. Your pain is mostly due to muscular spasm due to intense exercise. It is aggravated by movements and change of posture. So all these favor musculoskeletal pain more. So follow these steps for better symptomatic relief. 1. Avoid heavyweight lifting and strenuous exercise. 2. Avoid bad postures in sleep. 3. Avoid movements causing pain. 4. Take painkiller like ibuprofen. 5. Apply warm water pad on affected areas. Don't worry, you will be alright with all these in 2-3 days. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.

My dear friend I feel very sorry over your health problems. But you have been also very strong as you have struggled quite well with all your problems. But now from your description it appears you are having depression which is quite common in Parkinson. Kindly visit a psychiatrist or your neurologist to help you with antidepressants. Above all you need to have good support of friends and relatives. Think it's a bad phase and will get over soon. All the best

last month i was suffering from urinary track infection. pus cells in urine very very high due to which irritation occured how ever I had undergone medication with injections. Now everything is normal but my sperm quality is very thin like water. How can I improve this like before.
|
HelloThanks for query. You had severe UTI very recently which was treated successful with antibiotics, Now you have noticed your semen to be watery. This is mostly due to infection of seminal vesicle and prostate and testicles which exist simultaneously with UTI. The main three components of semen are 1) Sperms produced by testicles 2) Fructose by seminal vesicle 3) Prostatic fluid containing PAs secreted by prostate It takes 4-6 weeks for seminal vesicle and prostate to regain their normal function to have semen of normal viscosity after the infection is being eradicated completely.

My sternum keeps locking up, particularly when I m trying to do any kind of physical activity (playing with my 9 month old, etc). I ve been seeing a chiropractor weekly, but it keeps persisting. She suggested I stop/limit my physical strain, which is not possible with a 9 month old. My workload has increased quite a bit lately and carries a high stress factor in my life. I have a long history of anxiety and depression, which I ve been in active treatment for 3 years now... Could it be related? I want to fix the root of the problem, not the symptom.
|
Hi, Consult an orthopedic and get evaluated. An MRI scan is required to rule out any inherent problems in the joint. Most probably it will settle with conservative management. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

I am a pure non vegeterian taking chicken 1-2 days/week (mostly chicken fry), fish 2-3 days/week(mostly fish fry), beef/mutton 1day/week. Also I takes 3-4 cans of beer/week. I have allergy , so taking citrezene 2-3 times/week. Since I have to drive to office early morning, and reach home by night (1.5 * 2 hrs driving every day- to and fro) i don t get enough time to do any excercise. I am 28years old and a bit concerned if my habits make me ill in short time..?
|
Hello Fairbanks for your query. I would like to know what health problems are you facing at the moment apart from allergic reactions. If you are having allergy and taking cetirizine for it, it's ok but it's better to use levo-cetirizine- Montelukast combination OD before sleeping. Your words suggest you have high protein diet and have less dietary fibers. Having high fiber diet in form of vegetables has its own benefits. High protein diet has often been related to increased chance of colon carcinoma. So try to add more vegetables to your diet. You didn't mention your weight or body mass index, It would be better to advice after knowing it. Sedentary lifestyle is related to cardiovascular diseases, so doing regular exercises is always good for your health. You can start with light free hand exercises, it won't take much time. Hope this helps. Update here how you stay. Take care.

Cellophane you for your query. Firstly, you should consult an Infertility Specialist.PCs leads to irregular periods and irregular ovulation. Hence, you might need treatment in order to ovulate and conceive in the form of ovulation inducing Chat Doctor. Moreover, you need to have your fallopian tube patency assessed, as that might lead to infertility, specially since a previous ectopic can damage or block the tube even if it was not removed. Your partners' semen analysis needs to be done. All said and done, consult a Specialist for detailed work up and treatmentTake care.

I had a tooth ache a few times for which I suspected I was grinding my teeth. While the area does not hurt, not sensitive to touch or hot/cold, I now have the sensation in my lower right cheek adjacent to that tooth that appears may be slightly swollen, but the sensation is that of wearing off Novocaine.
|
Thanks for posting your query to Chat Doctor. I have gone through your history. You should visit a dentist for complete oral and radiological examination of the concerned tooth as due to tooth pain history you might need a root canal treatment. Till then, you can do warm saline rinses 3-4 times a day and take a painkiller like Coquitlam for mild pain or Retool DT for severe pain 2 times a day. Hope my answer will help you.

I am about 4 weeks post op. I am experiencing pain on a level of about a 6 or 7 in my abdomen area. I am already on an antibiotic for a bladder infection and possible infection in my abdomen. I was also diagnosed with having a hematoma last week. The pain has not gone away, my stomach is swollen and tender to the touch. Do I need to call my doctor?
|
Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor. You definitely need to get in touch with your doctor as you are experiencing signs of pain and tenderness. Patients suffering from bladder infection may also present with abdominal pain. I suggest you get in touch with your doctor and get the prescription of antibiotics changed as you do not seem to be responding to them. Thanks.

my 14 year old son hurt his knee when he landing on it wrong after jumping for a frizbee. He has played lacrosse with it hurt for about 2 weeks. Last week he was at wrestling practice and it was completely bent and then became very inflamed and swollen. Does this sound like an injury that will get better by itself or should we have it checked out?
|
HI...knee injuries should never be neglected. It could be a mild ligament sprain too. Especially the anterior and posterior cruciate ligaments are very liable for injury or sprain. Whatever it is I suggest you take him to the orthopedic surgeon as soon as possible. Regards -

I have been diagnosed with stage 1 breast cancer. I opted for a lumpectomy and mammosite brachytherapy for my radiation treatment. Is it really necessary that I see a medical oncologist? What is the medical field s general theory on cannabis oil as an alternative treatment? What about herbs and spices? I m really opposed to the thought of doing chemo, but I m not sure I should voice that opinion to the doctor I have yet to meet. My first appointment is April 2nd.
|
You need not worry about chemotherapy as you said you have stage 1breast cancer. I don't understand why you were advised RT. only stage 1 with breast conservation surgery definitely need RT. No data regarding cannabis, herbs and spices on breast cancer

My daddy has an Decending Aortic Dissection that is 5.4cm and very very VERY close to his spine, so close they are trying extremely hard every way they can NOT to have to do surgery. He has been having extreme shortness of breath and chest pains. His vitals are good, EKG is fine (no heart attack. The only thing they found was his heart enzymes were high what does that mean and how would it effect this problem he has already...? Help? :(
|
Hello, The heart is affected generally in ascending aortic dissection and practically never in descending aortic dissection. So simultaneously an ascending dissection should be ruled or a Co incidental heart pathology. Many a time heart enzymes (CPU) can rise in muscle injury which may happen due to decreased supply the thigh muscles. Regards

I have been experiencing pain that seems to radiate from my center back to the front in the sternum area. This has been off and on for about a year. I had my gallbladder removed 2 months ago and my liver has been checked also. I was told that the surgeon looks around to make sure nothing isnt going on out of the ordinary. I stop having this pain about 2 weeks after surgery. I recently started drinking carbonated drinks again and was told by my friend who is a nurse that the drinks that Ive been drinking probably caused this problem. So Im sticking to drinking water only.
|
HIIT looks like Gastritis. Please avoid carbonated Chat Doctor. Please take Omeprazole with Ito pride tablets. Avoid smoking, alchohol, spicy foods, caffeine products if you are taking them. It is not related to Gall bladder surgery. If the symptoms still persist, please get Upper GI endoscopy and ultrasound abdomen. Wish you good healthRegards

My partner and i had sex on the 8th day of her cycle(26 day), the condom split and she took the morning after pill the next day, yesterday the day before her period was due she had an amount of light coloured bleeding but today there is no sign of her period. Does this mean she is likely to be pregnant, we are both teenagers and definately not trying to conceive, should we worry?Thankyou
|
Hello dear, I understand your concern. In my opinion there was no need of morning after pill as the 8th day of cycle comes under safe period. Safe period is that part of the menstrual cycle where there is no chance of pregnancy even with unprotected sex. But anyway as you have taken pill the chance of pregnancy is rare. And the pill causes hormonal imbalance leading to effect on timing and bleeding of the period. It might also cause irregular bleeding. So the bleeding might be due to pill effect. So relax. If the period doesntoccur even after 10-15 of expected period then do a urine pregnancy test and consult gynecologist. Over all the chances of pregnancy are very rare. Best regards...

I have been having stabbing pains in my upper right abdomen. I had the procedure where the camera is put down your throat. The doctor found at least 10 polyps which she does not believe is cancer. She is doing a biopsy. She found my stomach is going into my esophagus which could mean cancer now or in the future. I did have breast cancer in 2012 & had a double mastectomy. She said the two would not be linked. I feel hungry all the time but after I eat I feel sick & bloated. I have a lot of dieareah as well. Ulcers have been ruled out. Could this be cancer?
|
Hello. We can't be sure until we get the biopsy report(biopsy of polyp). Stomach going into esophagus means it is a pre malignant condition.(barrels esophagus)You have to take a lot of measures to stop this condition. Did you get an ultrasound of abdomen and H.pylori text? Take PPI(as advised by your doctor)Avoid alcohol carbonated beverages smoking coffee etc. and other addictionsSleep after three hours after taking fondest curd or take probiotics Avoid spicy foods Take diet rich in fiber avoid refined foods/charred or salted foods for regular follow up with your doctor... If you have any more queries I would be happy to help you.

I had an endoscopy 10 days ago with biopsies. Diagnosed with GERD, hiatal hernia, and Barrett s esophagus. I have been taking nexium 40mg daily and made dietary changes. My reflux seems well controlled, but I have a constant burning in my chest which was not there before the procedure. Any clue what this could be? Could this be from the biopsies?
|
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Yes, biopsies can cause similar kind of burning sensations. Biopsy sites will cause burning when they come in contact with stomach acid. So burning is expected up to 2 weeks after Biopsy. Along with medium and dietary changes, you should follow these steps also for better symptomatic relief. 1. Go for walking after meals. 2. Chat Doctor.

I have been remodeling my bathroom (home build in the 50s) and found mold underneath the ceramic tile. I did spray the moldy underlayment with mold killer until we can replace it, but recently found out I now have impetigo and cellulitis. I did have a couple cuts from removing the tile. Is it possible this mold is still airborne and caused the infection?

Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor. There are chances of fungi causing subcutaneous infection, where the fungi are introduced into the skin through thorn prick or minor injury. But impetigo and cellulitis is most commonly caused by bacteria. I suggest you get a pus sample from the wound and test for bacterial as well as fungal culture. Subcutaneous infections of the skin are most commonly caused by colored fungi called dematacious fungi which are molds. Thanks

### INSTRUCTION: If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patient's description.
### Question: I have been remodeling my bathroom (home build in the 50s) and found mold underneath the ceramic tile. I did spray the moldy underlayment with mold killer until we can replace it, but recently found out I now have impetigo and cellulitis. I did have a couple cuts from removing the tile. Is it possible this mold is still airborne and caused the infection?

I had a TB test done on June 5, 2012 and had the results read on June 7, 2012 which was 0mm. Today is the 13th and I am noticing a raised area where the test was given. Should I be concerned now that it has been 6 days since the reading has been done? Could I have TB?
|
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. No need to worry about tuberculosis in your case. You are showing delayed reaction, and it is suggestive of either vaccination or immunity against tuberculosis. You had contour test (MT). In which tubercular antigens are injected in the skin. If reaction develops within 48-72 hours than possibility of TB infection is more. After 48-72 hours, if reaction occur than this suggests previous vaccination with BCG or immunity against tuberculosis. So in your case, you developed skin reaction after 6 days, so you are not having infection. So no need to worry about tuberculosis in your case. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.

Hello, Thank you for asking at Chat Doctor. I went through your history and would like to make suggestions for you as follows:1. First, I would like to know more about you like - a. Since when do you have repeated cough? b. Have you had wheezing or breathing difficulty? If yes, how frequently? c. Do you have nose symptoms of allergy - nose obstruction, sneezing, running nose, etc.? d. Do you have headaches, facial heaviness, tickling in throat, etc.? e. Do your symptoms worsen in any particular season? g. Do you have symptoms like burning chest, nausea, feeling fluids in mouth, especially after a heavy/spicy meal? Above details would help me to know your complaints better. 2. Regarding diagnosis, I would like to mention here that PFT 340 only cannot diagnose or rule our asthma. PFT with post-bronchodilator response would be more helpful to know whether you have asthma. Chest X-ray is always normal in asthma.3. I would also think possibility of sinusitis. X-ray sinus is not the best investigation to diagnose sinusitis. CT scan of sinuses is considered a better investigation or sinusitis.4. I would also suggest you allergy testing for common air-borne allergens like house dust mites, indoor molds, regional pollen, insect proteins and pet dancers (if you have pet). This will help to know whether you have allergies, also to identify the substances causing symptoms to you as well as to know the measures to avoid them.5. At present, I would agree with your current treatment. Should you have wheezing of breathing difficulty, I would suggest you to use albuterol inhaler on an as-and-when-needed basis.6. In general, I would suggest you to have plenty of warm fluids during day to maintain HY Chat Doctor. 7. Regular physical exercise, breathing exercises and a healthy diet rich in vitamins & minerals will also help you in a long run by improving 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.

I have a heart condition called Wolff-Parkingson-White and I occasionally get palpitations. Currently, Ive had one for about twenty minutes (the palpitation has decreased but its still there) and I was extremely faint and feel as if I am about to pass out. What should I do? Should I wait it out? I cannot get in touch with my doctor and dont know if I should go to the hospital. Im not sure what to do.
|
Hello and thank you for using Chat Doctor. I carefully read your question and I understand your concern. I will try to explain you something and give you my opinion. As you already know, wolf Parkinson White is a rhythm disorder. It means you have an theory pathway that cases the electrical impulses through the heart. So, if you are experiencing palpitation my opinion is that you should seek medical attention. You can present directly to the emergency room when it is possible to do a simple electrocardiogram and watch what is happening with you rhythm. It is recommended to do so because it might be a kind of arrhythmia than might be controlled with any medication and so you might be free of this palpitation.Then the long term strategy of this rhythm disorder should be consulted with your cardiologist based on other examination like echocardiography, holder rhythm monitoring, you complain ect. Hope I was helpful. Best regards, Chat Doctor.

I had three wisdom teeth extracted alittle over a week ago. And it hurts to open my mouth and on my lower left side of my mouth i have stabbing aching pain in my jaw that goes up into my ear and also is causing me to have tension in my neck. Pain meds are not helping they just make me sleepy but the pain stays. I went back to the dentist to have them look at it and they took an xray of my lower left side where they extracted the tooth and they said that it doesn t look like i have a infection or dry socket. So what could be causing such horrible pain in my jaw?
|
Hello, It is normal to experience severe pain even after a couple of days of surgery. Sometimes, one has to take off a bit of bone during extraction of the tooth because the tooth can be impacted and deep-seated within the jaw. In these cases, there can be severe pain especially with chewing. Go on taking the analgesics on a regular basis, the pain would take some time in coming down in intensity. If there is no other problem like infection then there is no need for worry.

hiiiiii doc,This is sonali mishra. I am newly married but very afraid of getting pregnant. in may,2010 I and my husband were using condoms but still I got preg. and used pills for mtp. We meet in a month or two . I had been with him for last few days of 15th day of my cycle now I m worried as I may be pregnant . I was taking oral pills during these days. as I am a student yet please advise me what to do??????
|
Hello, See oral contraceptive pill provide 99% effectiveness provided you take the pill regularly. Either take it regularly from 5th day of the period or if you start from the middle of the cycle then the first 7 days you have to use a condom. If your cycles are regular of 28 days then between 11th to 18th days if he has sex then there is an increased chance of pregnancy. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

I have recently started taking flomax for a bladder problem I have; i also take prevacid for stomach acid. both have been taken regularly for 3-4 months now. my recent liver function AST, ALT and bilirubin have take a jump from 6 months ago. Is it due to these additions of drugs. will the levels return if I stop these 2 drugs
|
Hi!welcome to Chat Doctor! Hepatic side effects are very rare for Flo max, only isolated instances of elevated liver function tests have been associated with the use of Flo max. Prevacid especially when taken alone and not in combination therapy is hematologic and may cause rise in liver function, your AST, ALT and bilirubin may have taken a jump due to this medicine. The level will return to normal once you stop this. Hope this will help!

My baby boy is 8 weeks old & I am breastfeeding him & supplementing him w/Enfamil. He has been wanting to nurse for over an hour & still doesn t seem satified, so I started to just pump & give it through a bottle for the last 4 days. But I am unable to give him only breastmilk so he is getting about 2-3 4 oz bottles of enfamil a day. The last few nites he has been very fussy in the evening. He just doesn t appear to be comfortable or satified. This morning I noticed a small raised rash on his face. Could he have a milk allergy? And do you think I should switch to a soy based formula?
|
Baby is nursing for longer than usual. If it is going on since birth, look for latching. If baby is not latched well he will not be able to Chat Doctor. So correct your positioning and latching. If it is just since few days it may be due to growth spurt period when his requirements suddenly exceed supply. In that case continue breastfeeding, have patience. Your breastmilk supply will adjust to baby needs. Best wishes

I am a 68 year old male for past three months I have a stinging painlike sensation when pushing or squeezing area adjacent to left nipple. My doctor, an internist, told me not to worry about it, but I am still concerned about it. When I take a warm bath and put warm to hot water over it with a wash cloth the problem subsides. The left breast feels firmer than the right breast but it is same size. What could this be?
|
Hi, Thanks for choosing Chat Doctor. According to your complaints it looks like an infection around the needle. It may be just an infected sebaceous cyst also. Consult a physician and take a course of painkillers and antibiotics. Usually it should subside. If not, then you will have to undergo further investigations for a proper diagnosis. So my advice is don't delay and get a correct treatment at the earliest as your age fits in high risk category patients. Pl. feel free to ask if you have any other doubts. Thanks and take care.

Hello. Thanks for choosing Chat Doctor forum. Having a child without having sex is technically possible, but it has got many medico legal problems regarding the willing donor of sperms. You will have to arrange the person whose child you want to conceive and bear. It is better to adopt a child.

I have developed 2 small bumps around 3mm diameter near corona. Its in the skin. Palpable superficially but not from inside. It doesnt pain but irritates when I touched them or my undergarmets irritates them. I had no kind of sexual activity. I wash my genital region regularly... Plz help me out as I am getting stressd about it??
|
Dairy understand your concern Small Bumps in coronal region without pain may mean anything. Confirm that they are not due to any insect bites or so. Some allergic conditions arise out of new undergarments, cologne can also be investigated. Safest bet is to consider consultation with a dermatologist for further treatment. But it seems nothing to, sorry. Wish you speedy recovery,

I was diagnosed a few years ago with borderline personality disorder, anxiety and depression, I have taken antidepressants forever since I was in my 20s I am now 39. I have had a lot of traumatic things happen in my life, My dad committed suicide today would have been his birthday. I have been abused in every way and I am trying to get my life back. For many years Ive had no libido, no joy in my life. Ive missed bdays anniversaries weddings etc. All because I felt depressed and didnt want to leave my house. Ive missed so may things, I have this. I have just been weaned of celexa 4omg which I took for years with the Seroquel. My meds now are wellbutron xl 150mg, I started this pill less than two weeks ago, I have increased the dose to 150mg twice a day, I also take Seroquel at night. I have read so many testimonies on these meds and I am concerned. I have been getting severe stomach aches as well as feeling a slightly spaced out. Im wondering if I should stop taking wellbutron and Seroquel and asking my dr to put me back on celexa. Do I have to take meds for life??? How does a dr really know if you have mental illness couldnt it just be due to life experiences and the need to get past them? I feel like I am stupid or labeled and its embarrassing, I just want my life back. I have no joy at all.

Hi, Firstly borderline personality disorder (BPD), makes a person vulnerable for mental illnesses. The thought processes that a person with BPD has is quite different from that of a person without the disorder, and it makes it difficult for the person to cope with day to day stresses that every human being faces in their life. Patients with BPD tend to suffer from complications involving mental health with the slightest of stress. And as you mention, what you have gone through is much more than usual. Coming to your query, why can't this be a normal reaction? Now, if a person without BPD or with no vulnerability happens to go through these experiences then the outcome would depend on his coping skills. Excellent coping skills → Brief period to recover and no illness. Poor coping skills → mental illness. The symptoms of loss of interest inability to feel joy and low mood for many years is a sign of a mental illness. But it is great that you want to come out of it. There are many ways. Medications being one of them. Adequate medications usually help control these symptoms. There are additional treatments that can benefit you which is psychotherapy that involves, building a positive outlook and personality transformation etc. This helps in building coping skills as well. Trained psychologists administer them. They are known to be useful in cases of BPD apart from medication. It takes a minimum of 2 weeks to determine whether a Chat Doctor.

Hello, Raised ESR or erythrocyte sedimentation rate is a test done to exclude underlying inflammation in the body. It also goes up in infections, and when the hemoglobin is low (i.e., anemia). Raised ESR (persistent) result suggests you need to exclude the above conditions mentioned. Follow-up blood tests:Complete hologram (He, TC DC)River function texture, creatinineSerum protein electrophoresisChest X Antinuclear antibody Now all of the above tests would exclude common serious pathologies, so please get them done after discussing with your doctor as soon as possible.

Hi I have been having a throbbing, swelling, and sharp pain on my left back to mid back part of my head. The head will not stop pulsating and hurting. It has been there for almost 1 and 1/2 months and it annoys me to pieces It feels like a bump on the left and bump in the nape of neck. I take fluvoxamine , respiridone, provigil,and anti anxiety medication. I have also found that my brain has been a bit fuzzy lately and I often have a pain in my chest. When I wake up I feel nauseous and I remember throwing up for almost 2 weeks in a row I wake up almost every morning now feeling nauseus. I have been diagnosed with anxiety, depression , aspergers, ADD, and OCD . So please tell me what I have thank you!

Hi, With these complex problems sometime diagnosis become difficult. In that case physician used to make differential diagnosis to manage case. These complaints can occur in anxiety and depression. OCD is also a type of anxiety disorder. But if we see your treatment it appears to right and cover all your differential diagnosis. So, continue your treatment as some time treatment may take 2-3 months to show response. I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you. Wish you Good Health.

Welcome to Chat Doctor, I had gone through the case and found that it might be the symptoms of sedentary lifestyle. So do the exercise, walk and take proper healthy diet. Also go for Vitamin D3 test and take Calcium daily for a month. If D3 deficient then take vitamin d3 once a week with milk. Thanks

I am a 71 female who was diagnosed w/ lung cancer Nov. 2009. Chemo , radiation , surgery followed and still going strong. Today, I was told that I have a 2.1 centimeter mass in my left kidney that will entail seeing an urologist . Had pain (tinges of pain) off and on for about 2 months. Had ultrasound last Thursday and my CT from my Oncologist had shown a small cyst in my left kidney, but had not grown. Waiting for appt w/urologist. Any suggestion, ideas, ways to build immune system. Already taking, reservatrol, selinium (sp) curcumin, coq10, b complex, calcium citrate (should I eliminate that one)? and magnesium. Any information would be appreciated as well as questions to ask, as I see urologist tomorrow.

Hi, Where is your pain, what is the nature of the pain? How it gets relieved or aggravated? are there any signs of radiation of pain to different sites. Anyway solitary renal cyst may be a common finding in many patients, it does not need treatment always. Now there are several studies going on immunity boost up materials with conflicting results. Curcumin is recently on discussion. You may take it. Consult your oncologist for further details.

### INSTRUCTION: If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patient's description.
### Question: I am a 71 female who was diagnosed w/ lung cancer Nov. 2009. Chemo , radiation , surgery followed and still going strong. Today, I was told that I have a 2.1 centimeter mass in my left kidney that will entail seeing an urologist . Had pain (tinges of pain) off and on for about 2 months. Had ultrasound last Thursday and my CT from my Oncologist had shown a small cyst in my left kidney, but had not grown. Waiting for appt w/urologist. Any suggestion, ideas, ways to build immune system. Already taking, reservatrol, selinium (sp) curcumin, coq10, b complex, calcium citrate (should I eliminate that one)? and magnesium. Any information would be appreciated as well as questions to ask, as I see urologist tomorrow.

Hello, The history you give, and the treatment described suggests that The pulmonary pressures are very high and so any form of operation will do more harm than any benefit. So the best treatment here is to Continue medicine. There is no problem in getting marriage however you should avoid pregnancy by all means as pregnancy can put your life in danger. However, an objective guidance is only possible after seeing the data of the pulmonary pressure (the last Echocardiography) and previously the angiography (Path) study.

hi, my 5 year old son had been detected with jaundice 20 days back. We followed our drs advice & his recent report has shown his bilirubin level to be around 0.8. His SGPT is slightly higher at 78. Kindly recommend if I need to follow any particular diet for him.
|
Bilirubin level of 0.8 is normal. SGPT is slightly raised. Thus, your son is recovering from jaundice. Jaundice affects the liver so if you avoid fatty diet then it will be a faster recovery. You should also give proper rest to your son till full recovery.

gynecomastia surgery in mumbai? how easy procedure it is now and how long will the recovery take ... when would the marks fade completely? I think i would have 2nd grade gynecomastia but am not really fat other wise. I am 26 and have this condition since childhood i suppose
|
HelloThanks for query. You are 26 years old and have been detected to have Gynecomastia since childhood. In most of the cases Gynecomastia gets resolved spontaneously by he ages of puberty. But since it is persistent you need to get it operated. This is simple surgery done as a day care procedure under general anesthesia. It takes 5 days for complete recovery and marks of surgery will not be visible as it is done through a sub areolar incision. Chat Doctor.

hi wayne here from ireland, i got a rash on my hip red with little blisters. my friend got it too in the back of his leg.the same thing, we go to this house for band practice. the had a lot of animals in the house, i think when i sat on the couch i got it.

Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor .from your history and description, I would like to consider the possibilities of an insect bite reaction/ bed bug bites, Scabies and a fungal infection (Tina corporal). Insect bite reaction can be treated by applying a mild steroid containing mometasone fortunate / HY Chat Doctor. You could also take an antihistamine like chlorpheniramine male ate at bedtime for the itching. Scabies is caused by a small mite and is contagious. It causes rashes in the finger webs, wrists, around the umbilicus and in the groin areas typically. It can spread from one person to another. Furthermore, it should be treated with 5 % Permethrin cream applied overnight and washed off in the morning. A single application would be sufficient. The bed clothes need to be washed and changed as the mite can harbor there. Funagal infection like Tina could occur from fungal filaments present on the animals. It needs to be treated with an antifungal cream like 2% ketoconazole or 1% Terminating applied twice a day for 3 weeks. The exact treatment depends on the diagnosis. You could google the above diagnosis and try to narrow down the option. Hope this helps you. Take care.

I am a 62 year old male, in general good health and a non smoker. I weigh 142 lbs. and have nearly all my life. Height is 5 11 . I ve had a history of lower back problems for about 20 years. The latest and worst occurred a week ago when I simply bent over and felt something give. Long story short, my lower back gradually stiffened with pain..walking or standing became virtually impossible after driving for 10 hours the next day. I ve been wearing a back support belt which helps with pain and mobility, but I ve noticed in the mirror that my lower torso has shifted to my left. Don t know if that s been the case all along or is a result of the injury. There is swelling on my lower right side and back. What s going on?

Hi, From history it seems that there might be having degenerative changes in your lower vertebrae producing osteoarthritis. There is also possibility of having osteoporosis of bone. Go for x-ray lumbosacral region. Go for back extension exercises daily. Avoid weight lifting and bending from back. Take Calcium and vitamin A and D supplements. Ok and take care.

13 month old with up to 101.3 temp that comes more at nite. I have been using tylenol and or ibuprophine for five days to help him sleep and just feel better and he is playful during the day but gets a sore throat, cough, and restless more so at nite or at nap time during the day.

Hi, fever, cough and cold in a 13-month-old child suggest upper respiratory tract infection. Since you are already giving antipyretic medicine for 5 days, the child should be given antibiotic depending on the chest examination. Kindly get the child examined by doctor so that antibiotic can be started. Blood test like complete blood count, CRP level should be done to know the causes of fever. Take care.

I have a problem with my head. There is this bump on the side of my head which is sorta like a bone, I am not sure what it is. My mom told me it is a bone that sticks out, it really disturbs me just to see the sides of my head are uneven... Is there any help where to fix bones or even the head out?

Hi, Dear,Thanks for your query to Chat Doctor virtual Clinic. I studied your query in all the details put forth by you. I understood your health concerns about the head lump. The asymmetry caused by this lump is disturbing you quite a lot, it seems. Cause of the health problems you queried-As your mom said it to be normal bone, I would advise a second opinion from your family doctor. If in case it's really a hard lump on sides of your head, get it checked on the following possibilities from your doctor or From ER Surgeon. This lump could be with following possibilities-Epidermoid tumor/dermatofibroma(Benign)/neoplastic tumor(locally malignant)/Sebaceous Cyst at the side of your head. Possibility of this lump being cancerous could be ruled out only after Biopsy with HPR study. As I don't have any direct photo of the lump / or not many details from you, I would advise you to consult ER Surgeon.Hence, I would advise you to consult ER Surgeon, who would differentiate from other possible causes for the lump in that area. Hope this would resolve your query with full satisfaction. Welcome for any further query in this regard to ME by direct question at Chat Doctor. Write excellent review and hit thanks, to narrate your experience, which would improve my rating for many other visitors to Chat Doctor. Wishing you fast recovery. Have a good day. Chat Doctor. N.

I am looking for Charparral (dried) to help with toenail fungus. Have found a Toenail fungus protocol on the internet. Use six tbsp dried chaparral to one quart of boilling whiskey.. Reduce and simmer for 20 minutes. Remove and steep for 8 hours. Soak your feet in this solution for 20 minutes a day, Repeat the procedure for two weeks.Have had laser treatment on both feet and did not help. Costly $400 for one treatment. Have used a natural mixed with Mother of Vinegar, but does not help.According to the info I have seen on the internet chapparral is dangerous to take internal, but want tosoak my feet in this. Would this be safe?

Hello, Fungal infection can only be treated with antifungal agent beside this it cannot be given try with anything else, such experiment you have mentioned here may prove dangerous or some time flair up disease. If this is the fungal infection of the nail then it best can be managed with Fluconazole ointment and oral antifungal medication like Terminating Chat Doctor. But it is all depends upon the clinical condition, why not to consult the dermatologist for best line of treatment and proper diagnosis. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Because of breast cancer (low grade, surgery done, seems fine) an oncologist recommended tamoxifen. Im reluctant to take it but if I do I was wondering if it was still ok to use a vaginal estrogen cream or equivalent but he says no. The surgeon who did the operation and the oncologist who will be doing the radiation say its Ok. Seems to me the jury is out on this and it should be my choice. Whats your opinion?
|
Hi, i would suggest not to go for the estrogen cream, as your tamoxifen acts against it. So, that means you may need more Chat Doctor. Wishing you good health

My husband is having pain in the abdominal area.The pains are irregular and inconsistent happening at different places.This started over 2 weeks ago and told he had a gastrointestinal virus.He also had sinus congestion and nagging headaches. The most bothersome symptom is a complete lack of energy, he is fatigued all day every day and can lay down and sleep at any moment.His congestion has all but gone away but the fatigue is constant and the abdominal pain still occurring.
|
Hi. Thanks for your query. Noted the history about your husband and understood your concerns.2 weeks is a long time to suffer from viral infection that caused stomach flu. It is possible that there may be a bacterial infection too. This can be detected by the following ways:Get a blood tests done for CBC, typhoid, liver and thyroid functions and also culture and sensitivity. Get the stool tests also done. X-ray and ultrasonography of the whole abdomen helps further. Since there is tremendous fatigue, serum electrolytes also should be done. If a Bacterial infection is found during the course of investigations, a course of an antibiotic, metronidazole and probiotics should help him the best. Electrolyte solution, plenty of oral fluids including fruit juices and multivitamins may help to get a faster recovery from the infection and fatigue.

I have a red lump on my labia, its like in the middle of my lip. it is very smooth and soft but hard on the outer part. The skin around it is a bit itchy and painful when walking. im not sexually active. so it can t be an std but I do have a low immune system and get cold sores but I haven t had one for a good year or so now thanks
|
Hi, If I were your treating Doctor for this case of an itchy labial lump, I would come up with only one and one possibility that is a sebaceous cyst with super added fungal infection! Nothing to worry about this and try not to get infected there repeatedly! I suggest you to go for an FNAC test of the lump for confirmation if necessary otherwise take cold compress, local antibiotic/antifungal creams and also oral antibiotics and revert to us to relieve your concerns! 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.

### Question: I have a red lump on my labia, its like in the middle of my lip. it is very smooth and soft but hard on the outer part. The skin around it is a bit itchy and painful when walking. im not sexually active. so it can t be an std but I do have a low immune system and get cold sores but I haven t had one for a good year or so now thanks
### Answer: Hi, If I were your treating Doctor for this case of an itchy labial lump, I would come up with only one and one possibility that is a sebaceous cyst with super added fungal infection! Nothing to worry about this and try not to get infected there repeatedly! I suggest you to go for an FNAC test of the lump for confirmation if necessary otherwise take cold compress, local antibiotic/antifungal creams and also oral antibiotics and revert to us to relieve your concerns! 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.

Hello, recently ive noticed that i cant sit for a while on foldeable chairs, i get this lower abdominal pain. Then when having sexit becomes painful at times, but usually its like a bloating feeling with pain. I havent even had an orgasm with my husband for the past like 4 months. I can achieve it when i masturbate, but because of this feeling i dont really get in the mood for sex with my husband. I also noticed that i urinate more than before, or while lying down on my belly and get up i have to pee right away. Im 27 years old and weight 235 lbs. I also have a history of PCOS, and PE 2 yrs ago while being pregnant. Im not taking any meds, well only Metformin 500mg 1po daily for my PCOS .

Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor. You seem to be having urinary tract infection to cause you pain in lower abdomen and increased frequency of urination. And also you are having gastritis to cause the bloating. So I would suggest that you take an antacid like pantoprazole or omeprazole and a course antibiotics like ofloxacin for the UTI. But for the prescription you will need to see your local doctor.Also, Chat Doctor. And the loss of lido can be due to the pain following the infection.
