I recently had xrays of my lower back and have been told I have arthiritis. Besides a back op there is not much else that can be done except pain meds. I do not know what type it is but causes pain in lower back and at times pins and needles in my legs and at times I cannot feel my legs. Do you have suggestions.
|
Dear Sir, I have understood your concern, see as you mentioned, your has told arthritis by seeing x-ray suggest degenerative changes happening to your spine. Now pain in lower back is due to lack of movement in spinal segments and pain in leg and foot is due to irritation of nerve in back at root level. So now decompression need to do by no pharmacological and non-surgical way by physical therapy in the form of lumbar traction which relive pressure in between disc segments then take ultrasound and IT modalities for instant pain relief. For 15 days continue twice a day. Followed by back strengthening exercises and mobilization of segments by skilled physical therapist. You can apply warm and cold water pouring at home and Apply analgesic cream at sleeping time. I hope you have satisfied with the answer.

|
Dear parent, by the description it seems it can be either of it. And fortunately treatment is more or less on similar line. Just keep a watch and give medication as long as prescribed and watch for increase in area affected. But as you have said already that most of the rash has disappeared. Have patience.

I have a pulsating sensation in my knee cap. It has been bothering me for weeks. It doesn t hurt but it is terribly uncomfortable and distracting. The pulsating makes it very difficult for me to fall asleep and concentrate on other tasks, especially at night. How do I make this go away?!!!!
|
Hello, Your symptoms are suggestive of local inflammation. For this reason, I recommend checking inflammation tests (complete blood count, PCR, ESR) and performing a Doppler ultrasound of the leg vessels. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Chat Doctor.

Hi. On March 3rd I went to the hospital to have 2 hernias repaired. They gave me Propofol to put me under and immediately woke me back up. Said my heart rate jumped to 150 when it had been 49. They then called in a heart doctor who has given me every heart test he can think of to see what is wrong with my heart. I have clean arteries, and low blood pressure but my doctor is giving me 2 blood pressure medications to mend the electrolytes in my heart and now wants to have me get a pacemaker, when he knows it was caused by the Propofol. Even the nurse told me that is what caused the problem. I do not want a pacemaker if it isn t necessary for one thing, and do want to quite the blood pressure meds. They are: COREG carvedilol 3.125 mg. 2 a day, and ramipril (Altace) 5mg once a day. They make my stomach hurt.

i am 24 year old and have lower back pain in low temp., had meet with doctor and he suggested to take X-Ray i did the same and doctor also advised me to have a medicine called " Cyclobenzaprine " but still same problem and X-Ray Result was " everything was normal but only one thing was not good and that was "straightening of spine is seen with loss of normal curvature suggestive of muscle spasm" what that mean i dont know. please help me to resolve this problem.thank you
|
Hi, Showing loss of curvature and straightening of spine in elderly might be due to degenerative and osteoarthritis in spines. But as you are young this might be due to faulty posture of sitting. This can be due to long time sitting in front of computer or table work. Correct your posture. Sit straight and avoid bending from back while doing work. Go for back extension exercises daily. Ok and take care.

Hello, I just came across your website My aunt found out that she has a 4.6cm ovarian cyst in her left ovary since January 19th, it was a lot big before but she s been taking medicines now so it has shrunk to 4cm. She has been taking a drink made of molasses and apple cidar vinegar, heard that it s effective. But she s seeing no changes so far, her abdomen has swelled up and she s been bleeding for 2 months now. How much time does it require for an ovarian cyst to dissolve completely? Also, could you tell me the treatments for it? Any effective home rememdies you know? Thanks a lot, she s really worried right now. I hope you write back soon, thank you.

Hello, welcome to Chat Doctor, as per the details u have given, there is no relationship with the ovarian cyst and the type of food that you will eat/ Chat Doctor. .more over, it is strongly advised to get through a ULTRASONOGRAM to confirm the type of ovarian cyst, if it is a simple follicular or hemorrhagic cyst, they are benign and gradually disappear ....but problem comes with the malignant ovarian cysts...so I advise you to don't wait for cyst to disappear by giving some

My kid was very active and healthy till she started going to school in June 2011 ( Nursery and her age was 2 1/2) After she started going to school she don t eat well she gets fever vomiting and became very adamant and she starts crying for everything. Dr initially gave her tminic, c - tax 0 and for fever crocin DS she takes medicines without any problem but she lost weight We took to apollo Dr suggested a big list of tests where as a child specialist whom we go told not to take those tests and give ascoril for a week and c-tax 0 for a week. What could be the problem

Hi Dear, Welcome to Chat Doctor. Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of fever and vomiting with changes in behavior which is due to compromised immunity of body and increased susceptibility of getting infected. It is due to viral infection of body. Fever is happening just because of that. Need not worry. I would suggest you to visit pediatrician once and get it examined. You should take proper course of antibiotics to fight against infection. Chat Doctor. If not taking any antibiotic start Norfloxacin for 5 to 7 days.

I got all four of my wisdom teeth pulled on Monday Dec 30th. So far my top teeth had been okay, but the bottom teeth Im a little concerned about. On my Left I feel a bump on my jaw also that same side has been leaking this really nasty tasting yellowish fluid sometimes mixed with very little blood. That side also is kinda of painful I want to know if this is normal after wisdom teeth extraction or should I be concerned.
|
Hi, thanks for your query. The problem is the extraction site you have been complaining is infected. Sometimes, the blood clot in the socket breaks loose, exposing the bone in the socket. This is a painful condition called Chat Doctor. Your dentist will clean the tooth socket, removing any debris from the hole, and then fill the socket with a medicated

My mother has stage 4 throat cancer and has been told it is to late for treatment. We have accepted that. I need to know what to be on the look out for as signs things are going down hill for her. As of today she has a fever of 103.6 and refusses to see her doctor. She has lived past the time her doctor said she would and up until now has been doing wonderful. Almost as if nothing were wrong, but this fever has me worried.
|
Hi, Your mother is on palliative care for throat cancer which is untreatable by the modalities available. It is the symptomatic treatment which is given to the patient depending upon the symptoms like pain, vomiting, fever, bleeding breathing difficulty, dysphagia and like that. Nothing aggressive is done and as such a course of antibiotics with paracetamol should be enough. Regards

I have gout and have severe pain on the large toe of my right foot. My provider has placed me on 200 mg of allopurinol which I have taken but the pain is so bad I cannot get to sleep. I have tried rubs, soaking etc but nothing seems to help. What do you suggest?
|
Hello, As you have gout, and you are taking Allopurinol tablets, continue these medications as advised. Now in your case, it is an acute attack of gout, so most of the times pain is severe during acute attacks. For severe pain, you can take tablet Thine. I will suggest you to take tablet Debut after rheumatologist consultation to get early relief and longtime absence of acute attack. Along with that, give rest to foot, use soft shoes. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Hi How are you tonight, I have a real bad shoulder pain. Not muscles by deeper. I had surgery for a labral tear in my r shoulder, and the pain Im feeling is so much the same. Could it be the same? Hurts under ear on l side. When I put my arm out straight i can only go shoulder hieght, then feels burning and pinching feeling. Heat helps the pain settle. Dont want pain pills to fix it, R shoulder surgery got me hooked on that stuff. Clean 13.5 months. You have any ideas, or should I just hit my dr? Thanks you Brett
|
Hi, thank-you for providing the brief history. As you had a Surgery of the label tear in the past and now having pain in the shoulder I feel it is the same issue. There will be inflammation of the tissues and reduction in the joint space leading again the pain. Taking an x-ray or an MRI should help understand the possible cause better. As you are getting relief from the pain by using heat therapy I will advise to get a thorough clinical examination and also and MRI. Treatment of choice will be physical therapy like therapeutic ultrasound therapy and TENS therapy. Some strengthening exercises will be needed to regain the strength in the muscles and also for improving the joint space. In my clinical practice most patients respond well to post surgical recurrent pain. Regards Jay In Chat Doctor.

my sister was diagnosed with stage 2 malignant melanoma this time last year. a mole was removed from her scalp and the doctors thought they had removed all of the cancer. however, she has been complaining recently about severe headaches. yesterday, she started bleeding badly from her lips and her heart was raising. she went to the ER where she was admitted to the hospital for more tests. all tests so far just showed irregular heart rate but no clogging or true heart issues. is there any connection with her cancer history and this sudden bleeding and heart raising. she is a 48 year old white female of average weight.
|
Hi, Thanks for writing in. Melanoma is a cancer of the skin and usually appears as a mole. It is grouped as an aggressive cancer and should be closely observed for appearances elsewhere in the body even after surgical treatment. If your mother is having severe headaches then she must get an urgent CT scan or MRI scan brain done at the earliest. There have been patients with spread of cancer to the brain and in many cases it is malignant melanoma that has spread to cause headaches. The bleeding from lips might be due to a different cause and her general blood counts need to be checked. It is suggested that she gets a brain scan done and should there be any finding then it must be discussed in detail with the oncologist and treatment started as early possible. Please do not worry.

I have recurring UTIs and recently was bed-ridden with extreme dizziness and vomiting for a day and a half. It wore off and I assumed it was a flu virus but now I have realized this could be symptoms of a UTI. I still feel tired and bit feverish although no real pain urinating, possibly slight odour but it has happened so often Im not sure now. I was on a low dose antibiotic for 3 months which I finished a few weeks ago. Should I see a doctor or be worried about an upper UTI and kidney damage?
|
Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor. Well your concern is understandable. As a Urologist, let me assure you not to worry. But, you must see your doctor for an examination. Your urine routine and culture test, blood sugar, blood routine and kidney function test, and an ultrasound scan of abdomen must be done. According to the reports, the doctor will be able to advise the proper treatment. Wish you a speedy recovery.

Foreskin tightening, pain in penis. Can I undergo sunnath operation?Hi, im 29 years old. Recently I got married whenever I m having sex im getting pain as my foreskin on the pennis is tightening. The foreskin is going back till the inner RED Area ut after that it is very tight. So now im considering Sunnath operation. May I know the avg price in & how many days it takes to completly cure. Because im doing software job and we don t have much holidays. Pls tell me the best hospital for sunnath operation in Chennai. Thank u
|
HiT hank you for asking ChatDoctorI have gone through your query. The operation is called circumcision. As you have difficulty in retracting skin it is the definite treatment. Most general surgeons will do that. If in government hospital you can get it done free. Most general surgeons do that. In private hospitals they take different rates. I think it won't be more than 10000 in any hospital. All hospitals which got general surgeons do circumcision. You will need maximum 1 week to 10 days rest. But if you wear a doth then you can go to work even before that. Hope this may help you. Let me know if you have any further query.

Hi. I have a lump deep under the skin on my labia majora. It is about nickel sized. I just noticed it this morning and it didn t hurt until I felt it. It is hard and movable and sore. It was colorless and now is slightly red because I was touching it to inspect what it was. It seems to be getting a bit more swollen. I do not have unprotected sex and I am extremely clean. However, I recently shaved that area and am extremely prone to razor burn. There are no other signs of typical razor burn in that area though. Not sure what to do. It s outside of my vagina. Only on the right lip of the labia majora. Please help!

Hi, It seems that you might be having ingrown hair follicle infection due to shaving. Another possibility of having Bartholdi gland cyst. Consult GAEC and get examined. If infection is there, with one course of antibiotic medicine for 3-5 days will cure your problem. Ok and take care.

### Question: Hi. I have a lump deep under the skin on my labia majora. It is about nickel sized. I just noticed it this morning and it didn t hurt until I felt it. It is hard and movable and sore.

My husband had a nasty stomach virus which caused diarrhea and vomiting for about 24 hours. His stomach issues habpve cleared but now his spine is crooked. He is complaining of back pain. Could this be related? Or just caused from lying around for 24 hours?

Dear patient When a patient gets diarrhea there is loss of fluids and deny Chat Doctor. Along with fluids there is also loss of electrolyte such as sodium and potassium.

my heart has been been pounding with varying intensity and frequency for several weeks. there is a cough that refuses to go after medication. what could be wrong? my initial ecg was ok and thyroid function test is normal. im not a bp patient nor anemic. thanks

Hello, The possibility of cardiac arrhythmia can't be ruled out, like PSVT or atrial fibrillation, in which heart rate suddenly goes up and also suddenly decreases. 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. Is there any stress or anxiety associated. Till the time your evaluation is complete, you can ask your local doctor for tab Collar LA 20 mg once a day. If none of the above is successful then last option is of electrophysiologist studies which is invasive test which can diagnose and treat the arrhythmia permanently in most of the cases. Hope this helps you Get back if you have any doubts. Regards

I have developed a severe skin and soft tissue infection of the scalp with some hair loss (not sure if it is permanent), but my dr had me on antibiotic regimen before it started to treat something else. My scalp culture grew e.coli and he said the antibiotic he has me on covers e.coli and I should be fine. I am Looking for a second opinion as my neck is now stiff and has sores as is my upper back... feeling like I have the flu, but no fever. Also have CVID, anemia and neutropenia and chronic osteomyelitis of maxilla from Actinomyces
|
Hello, Since you have a common variable immune deficiency (AVID), you are increasingly susceptible to various infections. And, once an infection sets in, will blow up in proportion to someone who doesn't have AVID. I strongly advise you to undergo cultures of the new sores. Get on a strong antibiotic regimen. And if you feel an infection coming at any point do visit your clinician as soon as possible. There are few vaccines you can ask your clinician to give you like Pneumonic, His, influenza vaccines. They would decrease your risk of getting infected with the same. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

I have many health problems. An Arachniod cyst in the posterior fossa of my brain. For a few years I have had an oily discharge from my navel which caused some pain,A burning sensation and very itchy. It would become red and irritated. It came and went. Have not had that problem for some time now. Doctors I saw could not tell me why. A couple said cancer but noticed no other signs of it.. Also my navel developed a crust. For the past year there has been the same smell behind my left ear. As of late; my right ear. They seem to become somewhat feverish, a burning sensation and also the itching. And then a swelling in my ears as well. At times it is difficult to hear properly. I have been told that the cyst in my brain causes swelling. In my lower brain, the back of my throat ,my ears and such. There is so much more. With what I hav told you, Can you possibly give me any indication as to what is happening to me? If you need more history I can provide of course. Thankyou.

Han arachnoid cyst is not likely to cause such symptoms. You may need a new MRI of the brain to see if there is something else going on. As far as your ear and navel problems are concerned, to will need to consult an ENT surgeon and a general surgeon. Hope this helps.

I recently about 2 weeks ago had bronchitis treated with augmentan (sic) this cleared up... About 3 days ago I developed a severe sore throat with some ear discomfort ... No white bumps in throat... This evening started coughing up a white to very light yellow foamy phlegm ... Should I be concerned or see my doctor?

Hello. Thanks for writing to Chat Doctor. I read and understand your question very well. I try my best to help you in this regard. As you have cough with yellow phlegm with sore throat with ear discomfort, and in past you have taken treatment for bronchitis, You should concern about this. It may be because of recurrent infection or development of URI (upper respiratory track infection) etc. I suggest you take X-ray chest PA view for this and consult a good physician for this. I hope my advice will help you a lot. Thanks and Regards. Chat Doctor.

my periods are usually 3 weeks apart and last up to 7-8 days. my husband and i have been trying to conceive for almost 9 months now and nothing has happened. recently, march 15th to be exact, i started my period and it lasted about 8 days. it wasnt until april 21st that i got my period again. its lighter than usual, i have extreme gas pains and im slightly nauseated in the morning. should i be worried?
|
Hi, I think you should go for a pregnancy test first. If negative, wait for your periods. You should also get evaluated for irregular periods. Do a thyroid profile and prolactin levels and an ultrasound for your uterus and ovaries. Also, a semen analysis of your husband should be done. If everything is fine you can take some medicines like camphene for the growth of your follicles and track your follicles' growth by repeated ultrasound and when your follicles is more than 17 to 18 mm, take injection for rupturing the follicles. Be in contact with your husband every 2 to 3 days after your periods stop. Take progesterone for next 2 weeks after the injection. Do a urine pregnancy test at home after that. You can try like that for 3 to 6 months. Hope I have answered your question. Regards Chat Doctor.

The right kidney is slightly hyperechoic with decreased corticomedullary differentiation. It is normal in position and size, measuring 11.3 cm in long axis. No evidence of hydronephrosis, renal mass, or perinephric fluid collections. The left kidney is slightly hyperechoic with decreased corticomedullary differentiation. It is normal in position and size, measuring 11.9 cm in long axis. No evidence of hydronephrosis, renal mass, or perinephric fluid collections. There are two anechoic cystic lesions within the lower pole of the left kidney with increased through transmission and imperceptible walls without internal septations, calcification, or internal color Doppler blood flow compatible with benign simple renal cysts. The more superior lesion measures 9 x 7 x 7 mm and the more inferior lesion measures 1.3 x 0.8 x 0.8 cm. The urinary bladder appears normal.Findings of hyperechogenicity and decreased corticomedullary differentiation are suggestive of medical renal disease. Clinical correlation is advised.Can someone please tell me what the findings mean? Am I going into Kidney Failure. I have no toher medical conditions. I had a routine UA done over a week ago and protein was noted in myurine so my doctor sent me for an ultrasound. My creatine was normal and all other test. I am 44 and Im an AA Female. thank you.

HelloGenerally hyperechoic(bright) echo texture of kidney suggest renal parenchymal disease. It may be due to many reasons like chronic hypertension, chronic diabetes mellitus, glomerulonephritis etc. Besides clinical evaluation, you may need further investigations. Investigations include routine hologram, random blood sugar, urine RE/ME, complete renal function test(include serum urea, creatinine,creatinine clearance), GFR,serum sodium, potassium,chloride, bicarbonate,phosphate,24 hour protein clearance. Further investigations can be done if needed. Simple cysts in kidneys are generally benign findings and only need follow up. It rarely needs treatment. These are age related developmental findings. You should go for proper checkup. Get well soon. Take Care Chat Doctor.

Hello, I have upper abdominal pain that radiates to my back, eventually I start having severe gagging & vomit. After the retching/gagging subsides, the pain subsides. I have had my gall bladder removed several years ago. Had an upper endoscopy in Feb. 2013, had double hernia repair with mesh 3/20/13. thought that was causing this pain but i started having it again about 2 weeks ago. I have had this for over 2 years & there is a pattern that it comes and goes. Any Ideas?

Hi welcome to Chat Doctor forum. Thanks for calling Chat Doctor. Forum. You have upper abdominal pain, radiates to back, have gagging and vomit then pain subsided. Endoscopy done double hernia found and repaired with mesh, pain recurred 2 weeks back the pain comes and goes. Gall bladder removed several years ago. It appears that the pain is due to gastric irritation due to irritant foods, like spicy foods, junk foods, and oily foods, and some foods which your stomach is allergic like milk and milk products. Wishing for a quick and complete recovery. Best regards.

hello sir, almost 2 years has passed but my wife did not pregnant, I am normal and she has a little bit problem about periods, she was treated by the doctor and now her periods are in routine, but still she is not pregnant what should we do regarding this,the last date of her starting period is 18 January.and one more question which I want to ask how many time i should have to do intercourse? thanks
|
Hi, Thanks for writing to Chat Doctor. I understand your concern. I would suggest your wife to get her follicular study done. By this you will come to know she is producing eggs or not and also the timing. In 30 days cycle average time of egg formation will be on 13 to 15th day. If she is normally ovulating then you can try between 12 to 16th day which is called fertile period. Daily once intercourse will be fine. As egg will be alive for 1 day and sperm for 3 to 4 days. If she is not ovulating then ovulation inducing Chat Doctor. You may discuss this with your doctor. Hope I have been helpful. Regards

Hello, yesterday I had my teeth professionally cleaned with ultrasound (it felt like something sharp was going underneath my gumline) and "sanding" - like fine sand solution and a powerful jet of water going everywhere. My gums hurt a lot now, and seem somewhat "shrunk". The oral hygienist said that I had quite a lot of pigment but no tartar, plague. or gum disease anywhere. Is the soreness of the gums normal? When will it pass? Is there anything I can do to make it pass quickly?
|
Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query. The soreness of the gums will be there for one or two days following scaling since the instrumentation has been done. The scales are inserted or passed below the gums to remove the debris along with a jet of water spray. Nothing to worry just do saline gargling 3 times daily. I hope my answer will help you, take care.

I have an undiagnosed inflammatory disease = 8 months now My spine burns up to 5 or 6 days at a time, and I become too exhausted to know what I am doing. Now, I have a small, hard lump on my arm under the elbow = the burning of my back and spine just consumes almost every day of the week. I cannot see a rheumatologist for a month and a half.
|
Hi and welcome to Chat Doctor. Thanks for the query. Well you should do ultrasound and X-ray to verify what kind of lesion is this lump. It can be related to your primary disease, but also it can be something else. Most commonly we see ganglion cysts, bursitis or bone exocytosis. Wish you good health. Regards

Thanks for the query. Breast milk is best milk. But if the milk output is low, You can try nan-1 formula. You need to take care while preparing the milk. Feed him with wait spoon, try to avoid bottle-feed. Hope I milk you.

I got my two lower wisdom teeth removed a week and a day ago today. The dentist said that he had to do no cutting and both teeth were easy to remove. Two days after surgery I notice on the lower right side an opening of gum tissue going up my cheek connected to the hole. Im scared I accidentally ripped my gum upwards. Theres no significant pain but a little red around the right socket. Also, ive been really nauseous and theres a tingling in my throat that has been present for the last 4 days. Should I be worried?
|
Hi, Thanks for your query. Ideally an extraction site take around 10-15 days to heal depending on patients body resistance. The opening of gum tissue attached to the extraction site is hanging there because it was attached to the tooth but now is just there as the tooth has been removed. I don't think you should worry about it. Give it some time to heal. The tingling in throat after a week may not be related to the extraction. Still, I would suggest that you visit your dentist for a thorough check-up. Hope this helps. Regards

Hi, My wife suffered from sciatica(based on symptoms such as pain from hip to toe etc) for past 7 years. The symptom occurred only after her delivery.Is is curable? what test need to be taken to prove it is sciatica and what medication we need to take
|
hither should be physical examination of spine first and if need be x-ray /MRI should be done to locate the cause of referred pain in legs. It is manageable with back exercises, massage and medicines and fomentation, avoiding lifting heavy objects. Backache is common after delivery since there is overstretching of back and pelvic muscles during delivery, but settles with exercises, rest assured. Some pain medicines may be taken

I removed my wisdom tooth 3days ago. And a few weeks ago I removed another one. I was under local Anaesthetic. My previous wound heeled with out any cause for concern. I am experiencing so much more pain than before. I feel very Nauseous, the pain feels as though its in the joint of the jaw near the ear. Ive read about Dry Socket but I have been rinsing with a prescribed mouth wash since friday, Ive rinsed after every time Ive eaten something. I experienced some vomiting of what tasted like medicine and bile, it was a very strong, unpleasant taste. Id like to know what I should do? Please help me.
|
Thanks for sharing the query. Your symptoms suggest of Chat Doctor. It mainly occurs because of dislodgement of blood clot. The pain may persist for 8-10 days. In this condition visit your dentist immediately and get it treated. Hope I have helped you.

Hello,I was recently turned away from a colonoscopy because my blood pressure was too high (170/110). I understand there is a proper way to take blood pressure readings and improper ways to take them.I am taking my blood pressure daily and logging it for my next doctors visit. What is the proper procedure for taking my blood pressure?Thank you,

Hi welcome to Chat Doctor Dear, You may need to take your BP at home if you have hypertension (high BP) or hypotension (low BP). High BP increases your risk for stroke, heart attack, or kidney disease. Low BP may cause you to feel dizzy or like you are going to pass out. This usually happens when you stand up quickly. You may need to take medicine to keep your BP at a normal level. Start the procedure with few dos and don'ts for accurate reading Do not check your blood pressure within 30 minutes of smoking, Chat Doctor. These may affect your BP reading. Do not take a BP reading in an arm that is injured or has an IV or a shunt. Sit and rest for 5 minutes before you take your BP. Extend your arm and support it on a flat surface. Your arm should be at the same level as your heart. Both of your feet should be flat on the floor. The device has a built-in pump that inflates the cuff. Put the cuff about 1 inch (2.5 cm) above your elbow. Wrap the cuff snugly around your arm. The BP reading may not be correct if the cuff is too loose. Turn on the BP monitor and follow the directions. Write down your BP, the date, the time, and which arm you used to take the BP. If possible, take your blood pressure twice and write down both readings. These BP readings can be 1 minute apart. Let the air out of the cuff. Turn off the monitor and take off the BP cuff. Take your BP at least twice a day. Take your BP at the same times each day, such as the morning and evening for accurate reading. Hope this helps solve your query. All the best.Don't hesitate to get back if you have any further query

I had a tongue biopsy last week - 19Dec - under general anaesthetic due to a recurring ulcer that I have been bothered with for more than a year. This was on the right side of my tongue very near to the front/tip. The surgeon took a slice of my tongue and cauterised the wound without suturing. It has been very sore and uncomfortable to talk, eat or drink, and is very swollen around the wound. The last 24 hours I have noticed that the lymph node under my jaw on the right side (where the section was taken) just in front of my ear is very tender and hurts to touch. Getting a bit concerned as Xmas is in 36 hours and I really thought it would have well settled by now (4 days). Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I am 60 years old and a smoker (I know, I know!!)
|
Hello, Actually tongue is a muscular organ with high vascular supply (blood supply) so the wounds heal on its own and early that is why the doctor must not have given any stitch. But some packs and medications like antibiotics and painkillers are given for support, I think you should visit the dentist again for the medications. As well, you should quit smoking at least for 1 week as it will also delay healing. Thank you.

a pin pricking feeling on my right side..just above the thigh where i was given a painkiller injection two weeks back. i was hospitalised for kidney stone and was on antibiotics till last sunday. This pricking started on tuesday. i was afraid it may be an abscess so started antibiotics on friday again. today is the third day of that but pricking feeling not gone. what could it be?
|
Intramuscular injection may sometimes lead to nerve damage. Generally there will be loss of sensation/ numbness in the area supplied by particular nerve. This pin pricking sensation could be sign of neuronal regeneration. Abscess will have symptoms like fever, pain, swelling and redness in that area. If you have these symptoms you should consult surgeon as may need Chat Doctor. Hopefully it should subside within a week if its secondary to mild nerve damage.

my afib has progressed from arrythmia to all out afib. I am 52, f, fit, nutrition healthy. I also have chronic night time or darkness vertigo/imbalance. (dont feel that the two are realated, but..). Afib can either happen out of the blue, or can be puched in by high emotional anxiety situations. I have the fatigue that is debilitating, although I make myself push through it, that is becoming more difficult & the stuck heart is more frequent & at random. I have no insurance, no job, no finances to support med care at this time. This is becoming a round robin in conducting career placement search & just life in general. I am not one to panic over health conditions, although the afib is getting worse, more pronounced, & the recovery is not as full from each episode.
|
If it is true vertigo then start tab betahistine thrice daily and tab spin free SOS. If anxiety component is predominant then add tab control MD. Hope my answer is helpful to you. Take care.

hello doctor,I have a son having age 6 months and 15 days with premature delivery of about 1 month and 10 days earlier than the date of delivery which doctors told us. Now last week we came to know that my son is having less HB it is about 7.4 gm and the PCV level is 23.1%. we have started to give him solid food which include cerelac, semolina cooked in milk just two weeks ago. in medicines we are giving him Tonoferron (iron drops) and Vitomin-Z(multivitamin drops). Kindly tell me is the HB is very less and really a matter of worry and is the medicines and diet is sufficient to raise his HB?We are really worried so kindly tell me ASAP. Thanks alot Doctor.

Most common reason reduced iron stores in baby secondary to iron deficiency in mother. If there are no abnormal findings other than anemia, it should respond to iron therapy.

My 9 year old son had been diagnosed with neutrophilic dermatosis ( pyoderma gangrenosum) also with splenic and pulmonary abscess previous arthritis ( sweet syndrome) his medication he is on is Adalimumab, cyclosporin, prednisolone, pain killers, my son has now got a lot of pain in his penis and testicles he has had a pyoderma close by about 3 months ago but it was switched off! Could the pain just be part of his illness or growing pains or could it be something else?
|
Penile pain is unlikely to be related to growing pains. You should really not be in an online forum, as his disease and medications are really complex. You should consult his doctor immediately.

my 8 year old daughter came home from school yesterday with a fever of 102 f. She is c/o headache i left temple, and has been throwing up. Appears hydrated, and we are pushing fluids. Early this am she had to throw up but because her belly was empty she had green bile. Her left eye is red perioribital to her nose. I thought she was rubbing her eye too hard, but there is a little swelling below the eyebrow. wondering if she needs to be seen or handle it at home.. fevers have been 99.5 to 101

Hi Dear, Welcome to Chat Doctor. Understanding your concern. As per your query your child have symptoms of severe vomiting, headache and fever. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like food poisoning, improper digestion, poor metabolism, electrolyte imbalance and due to acute gastritis. Need not worry. I would suggest you to do warm saline gargles several times a day. You should keep your head elevated while sleeping. Avoid eating spicy and heavy food, reduce intake of dairy products. You should take plenty of fluids. Consult pediatrician for proper examination. Doctor may order test like swab test, blood test and will do physical examination. Doctor may prescribe antibacterial or antiviral depending upon the diagnosis along with antiemetic medications. Hope your concern has been resolved. Get Well Soon. Best Wishes,

This morning I woke up pretty normal then I noticed my lip felt a little weird, outer top lip, bottom lip is fine. I looked in the mirror and it looks like a bump reddish but almost blends in with the tone of my lip and with my tongue I can feel it s swollen and the bump feels numb very numb and it itches . What could it be ??? I m concerned !
|
Hi, It seems that there might be having some insect bite on the part producing allergic reaction on lip or some food allergy taken last night. Take antihistamine like Cetirizine or Ben Chat Doctor. Apply ice pack for a day. Ok and take care.

Hello, I recently ordered a night guard for grinding my teeth from my dentist. I used it for one night, and I put it in tonight and it feels really loose, and feels like its falling out of my mouth... I was wondering if this is normal and if theres any way I can fix it? thanks.
|
Hi. Thanks for the query. Night guards are used to prevent the teeth from wearing away due to grinding. If it is loose then it can have further damaging effects on the teeth and gums. It is not normal for the night guard to get loose in a day only, and you should consult a Dentist and get evaluated. It will be better to get a custom-made night guard prepared as per the fit of the oral tissues, and then it will ft appropriately. For now avoid wearing the loose night guard. Hope this helps. Regards.

It will be better to get a custom-made night guard prepared as per the fit of the oral tissues, and then it will ft appropriately. For now avoid wearing the loose night guard. Hope this helps. Regards.

My husband had the Whipple procedure for pancreatic cancer and still has diarrhea issues 8 months later. He lost 60 lbs and is gaining it back slowly. On TPN food bags for the last 2 months and still on them and I would like to start using a juicer for him but dont know what fruits or veggies to use for this type of cancer. Presently his CA19-9 tumor markers are at 160 after surgery they were at 24. This concerns me. Any ideas to get those tumor markers down? He has already gone through the radiation and chemo treatments. Thank you. Dawn Skiba

Hi and thank you so much for this query am so sorry to hear about this persistent diarrhea and the rising tumor markers. The rising tumor markers mean that the tumor was not completely removed and nothing else can be done to ad Chat Doctor. It is rather unfortunate but a majority of persons with incompletely excised pancreatic cancer would most likely not be alive after 6 months. There is nothing that can be done about this diarrhea as it is due to digestive secretions that flow through especially bile. About starting a juicer, talk to his treating doctor to give his accord. I hope this ad

|
Thank your for the question, and I am happy to help. I can understand that it is probably hard to find condoms that fit, but if you can, then you should consider using condoms of some kind. Besides that, and especially in light of the fact that you have triplets and do not sound ready to have more child Chat Doctor.

Hi my 6 month old started throwing her head back and forth for no reason. She does it when she is happy and she does it when she is upset but she always looks up then slams her head back down forward is this something i should be concerned about? She also rubs her nose a lot pretty much constantly.

hello sir Due to accident my left hand arm injured and doctor put a Stich before 10 days and they suggested to take taking tablet Pantocid one tab every morning & Emanzen D, Augpen 625 Bid (Twice in a day) for 5 day after dosage completed i stoped. now still i am getting pain in woond place and it also may be swelling so what should do now again that tab continue or what should do suggest me sir
|
Hi, thank you for providing the brief history of you. As you had a stitch 10 days before and the wound still hurts, this is a normal phenomenon of healing, and it will heal soon, for which you shouldn't get worry more. Continuing the medication by the advice of the same physician should be helpful, but I will recommend you to do quick icing around the wound area and keep it under sunlight for healing. As most wounds heal within 10-15 days of time post stitching you should keep patience to allow it to heal. With gods grace everything will be alright. RegardsJay In Chat Doctor.

While they are doing laparoscopic gallbladder surgery, can they tell if there are stones in the ducts immediately or do they usually find out ahead of time? Does a sonagram show stones in the ducts? If so can they remove them right then while in surgery, instead of waiting to see if they create problems later?
|
Hello, Acute cholecystitis due to gallstones may need surgical excision after controlling the Infection. If stone obstructing the bile duct may need ERCP removal. If stone in the gallbladder asymptomatic may not need surgery. Yes, they may find out by ultrasound abdomen or CT abdomen. Only after scan they will plan for procedure unless it is emergency. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Regard

My 7 year old boy starting playing basketball and now has bad athletes foot with peeled skin and some cracking and bleeding in between his toes...I started using clotrimazole/betamethasone dipropionate cream and his feet have somewhat improved ..im wondering how often I can use it and the side effects of using it?
|
Hello. I just read through your question. There is no danger in continuing to use the cream. I recommend, however, applying powder to the feet (i.e. Talcum powder, baby powder) prior to athletics. This will help prevent the problem from occurring in the first place.

hello my name is Sandra hall I have been having blood test I have a infiction that the doctor can not fine. my red cells have does not have a lot oxygen. I itches all over my body. white cell are going up platlets are going down .can you tell me what I should do?
|
Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor, Infection especially bacterial infection can lead to increased white blood cell count. Among the white blood cells, neutrophils are elevated. Red cells not having enough oxygen suggests low hemoglobin or anemia. Itchiness can occur due to many causes namely,1. Polycythemia2. High bile salts in body3. Skin ailments etc. A clinical assessment is required to look for focus of infection and site on body whether itchiness is more. In case of low hemoglobin, relevant investigations are required to know the type of anemia. Thanks and take care Chat Doctor.

i forgot to take my bp med yesterday but remembered just before i went to bed so i took it, then again when i woke up this morning, this evening i was very dizzy, very tired and by pulse rate was lower than usual bp was good though, is this because i took med dose to close together? or should i be worried its something more?
|
Hellothanks for posting here. Looks like you are on beta blocker medications for blood pressure control. Beta blockers have an additional effect of lowering the heart rate asking with lowering blood pressure. So since you took two doses in short intervals that's why you had slow heart rate and symptoms. You may skip your routine evening dose and start again from the next morning. Beta blockers are very beneficial for blood pressure and also have a protecting effect from a cardiac event. So please continue taking them. In case you have similar symptoms you can skip one dose and then continue there forth. If these symptoms persist then you must see your doctor. As of now there is nothing to worry. Thank you.

Hello,I am a 34 yr old female; I was a smoker (for 10 years) until 16 months ago when I started to suffer from difficulty in breathing, long and hard coughs and then was diagnosed with pneumonia and bronchitis. Since then I havent been smoking. During my later medical controls I was also diagnosed with low level of iron, vitamin D and a increased rate of cholesterol (and got supplements for the iron and Vitamin D). I was an underweight person, yet after quitting smoking I gained 8 kgs (around 16 pounds) in a very short period of time. I try to do exercises and lost half of the newly gained weight and have been still trying to get rid of the rest. My specific question is that I realized an interesting sensitivity to the smell of the cigarette smoke and also to some types of smell such as paint fumes. I feel a pain in my chest and in my neck and it feels like I smoked again. I thought that it was a psychosomatic reaction but not so sure. I also feel a pain in my chest (like around my heart) when I run and also wonder its cause. Do you think I should search for further illnesses? Thank you very much in advance for the response.
|
Hi, smoking can damage the lung and small air pipes called bronchioles. In your case there is possibility of bronchitis and any irritant smell is causing you to have narrowing of the bronchioles. You will require a test called spirometry and chest x-ray. I suggest you meet a pulmonologist after that for initiation of inhalers to relieve the symptoms. Would be happy to follow up.

My Girlfriend is Pregnant, and we went to planned parent to get the confermation, she said we were about 5 weeks, then last night she was not feeling well so I took her to the ER and her BETA level was 36 and they wanted to re-check her so we decided tonight to go and it went up to 64.11 They said she was only a few days pregnant? How is this possiable
|
Hallow Dear, You can locate the duration of pregnancy by following ways:1. The egg release takes place 14 days before the next menses. It can roughly tell you the probable date of fertilization.2. Usually the period of pregnancy is counted from the first day of last menstrual period.3. Ultrasonography and Chat Doctor levels tell you the gestational period from the day of conception. Hence, there is a difference of about 2 weeks in the clinical gestational period and gestational period estimation by these investigations. When you are informed 5 weeks pregnancy, it refers to 5 weeks from last menstrual period; which actually is about 3 weeks from day of conception. This should clarify your dilemma.

Hi, I have been getting dizzy when standing suddenly. This happens when standing up suddenly from a laying or prolonged sitting position. I am familiar with orthostatic hypostension. Hopefully that s spelled correctly. The intensity of the dizziness has started to increase, as well as the frequency. Earlier today I was laying down using my laptop, and got up. The dizziness was very intense, the initial onset I experienced a 6 second period where my vision was black and white only. I did what I normally do when I experience these symptoms: take very large breaths, squeeze intensely my major muscle groups, abdomen, quads, buttocks, and the symptoms normally subside quickly. I am 6 6 230 pounds. 34 years old. Avid runner, excellent physical health. I take multi-vitamin plus zinc & magnesium supplement daily. My blood pressure is normally between the low end of what is considered normal - top end of what is considered low blood pressure. Is there anything else I can do to help reduce these symptoms?
|
Hi, Thanks for asking. Based on your query, my opinion is as follows.1. Good to know you are familiar with orthostatic or postural hypotension.2. Making slow movements during changing of position is the most important aspect.3. Venous stockings to the lower limbs can avoid pooling of blood in lower limbs and sudden variations in blood pressure.4. Also take plenty of water. Corticosteroids may be necessary, when orthostatic hypotension is severe. Hope it helps. Any further queries, happy to help again.

I have red blotches that itch and have appeared on my left cheek and back of left hand, also on the back of my right hand and another on my right fore arm. In addition to these spots that are red, round and itch, my lips were also swollen when I got up this morning. There are no blisters or previous injury. Benadryl cream helps with itching. No fever but do have headache. I have had this happen a few times the past year and each time the spots come back on the same areas. It lasts about a week. It s really bothers me when my lips and face swell up.

Hi, You seem to suffer from urticaria. Consult the dermatologist for the perfect diagnosis and proper treatment. There may be some triggering factor. Try to find out. It may be some dietary factors like seafood eggs, cows milk, soy protein, banana, fermented food or some contact ants like pollen, wool, dust, soap, insects, etc. Tab. Fexofenadine thrice a day will alleviate your ailments. If needed, oral steroid in tapering dose may be taken after visiting your doctor. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Chat Doctor.

I am 46 - 6 foot 2 and approximate 15 stone. I am usually very healthy but have been suffering badly with a chest infection since the beginning of December 2010. I returned to the doctors yesterday and was prescribed a 3 day course of Azithromycin. My cough has worsened causing me to suffer a bad headache. Can I take paracetmol as well as 1 x 500mg tablet each day? I am due to see a specialist at the hospital on May 23rd.
|

### Question: I am 46 - 6 foot 2 and approximate 15 stone. I am usually very healthy but have been suffering badly with a chest infection since the beginning of December 2010. I returned to the doctors yesterday and was prescribed a 3 day course of Azithromycin. My cough has worsened causing me to suffer a bad headache. Can I take paracetmol as well as 1 x 500mg tablet each day? I am due to see a specialist at the hospital on May 23rd.

Largest male human testicles. Pictures of low hanging testices and is it because of the weight of the testicles in the scrotum that makes them hang low and can a circumsized penis have a forskin be surgically put back over the glans of the penis. If so how much does it cost and where can it be done? Cant aford to sign up. Thanks.
|
Hello, The size of the testicles depends on the men physique, and therefore it is not possible to way whether they are largest or not. Unless you have a problem, that is normal. Therefore, I suggest consulting a urologist for physical examination, diagnosis and treatment. Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Hi, I am 30 year old female and i have been having what I think are palpitations everyday for about a month now. It just feels like a hard thud in my chest or like a skipped beat and thats it. I do not have any other symptons. I was on the birth control camila aka (mini pill) I stopped taking that 2 weeeks ago because I thought maybe thats what was causing these but they have not to seemed to have gotten any better. I usually get between maybe 10-25 a day. I also dont drink caffiene and Im also breastfeeding. I cant see my doctor for another 2 weeks. Should I be worried? Im scared to death!
|
Welcome and thank you for asking on Chat Doctor! I have gone through you question carefully. Palpitations in young females is usually due to low hemoglobin (anemia) and thyroid problems (excess). If these two things are ruled out . You can be assured there is nothing to worry. Hope you will find this answer helpful! Wishing all the best,

Dear doctor, my name is Temitayo Steven from Nigeria. For the past 8 days, I have been experiencing fever that would start around the afternoon period and disappear in the morning, slight headache and chest pain. Some days before this I had rashes around my anus. I went for a test 5 days ago and below is the result; S.typhi(O 1:320, H 1:160). My doctor recommended Ciproflaxin and I have completed the dosage without any improvement in my health. I decided to visit another doctor. He carried out a blood test and claimed I do not have any trace of S.typhi. I don t know what is wrong with me. Kindly help.
|
Hi, Temitayo Steven, did the doctors check anything besides for S. type? Your symptoms are nonspecific and could be almost any kind of infection. A lot more tests might be needed. The first test you did for S. type only indicates you have been infected at some time; it may not be an acute infection. Some things I would consider are strep, pneumonia, malaria, other parasitic infections, HIV, herpes, certain other STDs, tuberculosis, atypical mycobacterial infections, other bacterial infections. Many bacterial infections require a different antibiotic than Ciprofloxacin. You need to have a good examination, to describe the rash, and get more testing done to see what this could be. Hope this helps.

Hi there, I have a red rash all over my body - when I itch it leaves red marks, and it has not responded to anti histamine . I thought it might bean allergy to washing powered, but even parts of my body not in contact with fabric are itching. It started as a bumpy, blisters rash between my fingers and ow my whole body. I am worried I might have shingles again? Thank you for ay advice you can offer.
|
Hi, Thanks for writing in. The rashes can be contact dermatitis, insect bite reaction, dermatitis herpetiformis, chickenpox etc. Apply cooling and soothing lotion like aloe vera over the area. Shingle occurs in particular dermatome, and it would not spread to all over the body. Take tablet fexofenadine 180 mg twice daily.Also, oral steroids can help a lot in stopping the spread of the lesions. Hope this helps. Regards Chat Doctor.

hello doctor ,I m 30 years old and doctor predicted that i have follicular ovarian cyst .Presently i am taking Metformin 500mg tablet(twice a day).Really i got stressed nowadays.I got married before 4 yrs.And after 1.5 yrs got one miscarriage also.Is that cyst is recoverable problem or not?Can i go for IVF?Can you pls suggest good gynaecologist in chennai.Thanks for your reply in advance
|
Hello could have been given metformin for PCs, high blood sugar. The cyst can be of 2 types. Either it's a single large cyst or polycystic ovaries. You need to thoroughly evaluated as to what the problem might be apart from the cyst.Accordingly, treatment is variable.IVF is the last resort. Before that there are other factors to consider.It's a lengthy process. You should consult a good ORGAN /fertility specialist. Try Apollo Hosp in Chennai.

I have had the same boyfriend for about 8 months now and have been consistently sexually active with him. Sometimes my vaginal area is a little sore the next day, but this time it is itchy, red and irritated and I recently felt little bumps or ridges inside my vagina. My discharge smells and looks completely normal except for when I ve tried to put itch cream on it and it gets a little thicker and whiter. My boyfriend is completely fine with no irritation at all to his genitals. We tried having sex again a day after I noticed it hurting and there was a very sharp pain when he tried to enter that nearly left me crying in pain. There is some burning during urination but I feel like that happens only if I ve recently been scratching the area. I have been having these symptoms for about 4 days now with no change and it may just be getting worse since I can t help scratching and messing with it.

Hello doctor. I m 27 n last yr i had miscarriage after that i had infection and hormonal imbalance. Now we r planning pregnancy n in this month my dr. Prescribed me Meprate to support pregnancy, but every time i feel abs pain after using meprate. So my question is will i have safe pregnancy?
|
Hello.thanks for trusting the Chat Doctor doctors for your health related queries. I guess your concern is about...can u have safe pregnancy after an infection and hormonal imbalance post miscarriage.right.my answer is.YES.there are chances of safer pregnancy in the future. Usually after miscarriage it is routine that doctor will advise for ultrasound to conform that whether is miscarriage is COMPLETE (that means all products of conception are expelled out from the womb) or INCOMPLETE (there is retained product of conception inside the womb). In both the cases usually antibiotics are prescribed to prevent infection and incomplete miscarriage usually required minor surgery for removal of retained products so that chances of infection further decreases. As u told that u had miscarriage in last year, but u didn't give whether it was complete or incomplete. U had taken antibiotics or not. So it is difficult for me to comment on this. After miscarriage there is hormonal imbalance usually happens, but in most of the cases it will correct spontaneously. Some women required medication for correlation of it. This hormonal imbalance usually effects the menses, due to that menses will be irregular.u told that u have hormonal imbalance but didn't give info regarding your menses whether it is regular or irregular. So it is difficult for me to comment on this.u also told that u have taking separate which cause pain in your abs, for that u can take alternative medicine after discussing with your treating doctor. With the above information u can try out my suggestions-1. RELAX...DON'T WORRY. there are chances of safer pregnancy in your case. So KEEP PATIENCE.2. If your infection had resolved n u have regular menses then there is DOUBLE CHANCE of getting pregnant in your case.3. If u r in hurry then visit nearby infertility specialist. He/she can help u. I hope the above information is useful, informative and helpful for u.regards- Chat Doctor. .DON'T WORRY.everything will be alright. I pray the God that u will be blessed with a cute n healthy baby.hopefully TWINS)

Im looking for a non narcotic pain medicine. I have been diagnose with fibromyalgia, I have low back pain as well. My Dr. wants to put me on Lyrica, but I don t want to go on it because of the side effects. I am taking 800 mg. of Gabapitin, I have an appointment on Wed and was wanting to know what I could ask her for. I have pain all over, it is making it hard to walk and work. I am not over weight and I am trying to eliminate the foods that cause inflammation.
|
HiT his is an agonizing disease, but now good remedial measures are possible.if you are attending Fibromyalgia clinics, then trust your doctor for the prescriptions, if you tolerate gabapentin, there's no need to fear side effects of Lyrical unless you had taken previously and suffered its side effects...some patients report even side effects to gabapentin too, so it's not necessary you would too.likewise for lyrical...some rheumatologists prescribe methycobalamin and amytryptalline too along with gabapentin or lyrical.meanwhile do take physical therapy if not taking, it would relieve symptomatically, see a physical therapist too. Best wishes

My daughter has many health problems including repaired ToF, repaired imperforate anus, urinary reflux, agenesis of corpus callosum, and repaired bilateral cleft lip and palate and multiple vertabrae fusions they are worried about problems developing in the future. She loses weight a lot she is almost 3 and 20lbs, she has what seems to be enlarged inguinal lymph nodes, and she gets dark bruises along her spine for no reason. I just want to know what are possible causes for the lymph nodes and bruising... should i be worried or am i just being paranoid from past history??
|
Hi, dear. I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. She may have reactive lymph node enlargement or may have tuberculosis or malignancy. You should go for fine needle aspiration cytology to search the exact cause. Then you should take treatment accordingly. Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Wish you a very good health.

Hi i got kicked in the shin 3 times at work by a teenager wearing steel to cap boots, my shin is slighty bruised but my anckle and the front of my foot is very bruised, my foot keeps going tingly and i get pain if i point my toes/foot down or bring my foot up to a right angle. im also getting aches in my calf and the front of my shin sometimes goes red and very warm to touch, have i done any damage that needs checking out?
|
I think you have got hematoma following injury. In tetanus toxic is to be taken. One course of antibiotics amoxicillin with dicloxacilin three times . And you need to keep the foot elevated. Meanwhile, u get one x-ray of limb and blood investigation like complete blood count, random blood sugar.

I have been putting cortizone cream and that helps about 30 minutes then it starts all over. I am miserable and I don t have a clue as to why I have it. My friend said to take a baking soda bath. Can u help me with this itching problem that won t stop.

My daughter has a bump on the bottom of her foot with a dark brown/black spot in the center. It hurts her so bad she can t walk on it. We thought it was a splinter but now believe it may be something else. There is also a red streak that starts at the bump and spreads to the side of her foot.
|
Hello. I just read through your question. It is very possible that this began as a result of a splinter. What you are describing now, however, is consistent with a skin infection. Very often these infections require antibiotic treatment. I recommend consulting with your doctor, so the appropriate treatment plan can be implemented.

We thought it was a splinter but now believe it may be something else. There is also a red streak that starts at the bump and spreads to the side of her foot.
### Answer: Hello. I just read through your question. It is very possible that this began as a result of a splinter. What you are describing now, however, is consistent with a skin infection. Very often these infections require antibiotic treatment. I recommend consulting with your doctor, so the appropriate treatment plan can be implemented.

Lump on my back about centre meter it s hard has a black spot in the middle, my husband try to squeeze it a little bit came out,but it s became painful. I m going on a cruise in a few week time and I m very self conscious of the lump what do you think it is.
|
Hi! This is a very common clinical situation that we see almost every day and nothing to worry about this as this is just an inclusion cyst or sebaceous cyst! Yes, it becomes painful when it is inflamed, rubbed, scratched or poked; therefore, avoid these but go for a needle biopsy for confirmation and to relieve your tension! And see a surgeon regarding opinions about line of management. Regards,

for the past few weeks weve been noticing unexplained bruises on the lower part of her right leg. when they seem to be going away they get darker . she now has more bruising and more are appearing on her left leg. shell be 2 in june and I suffered from severe anemia during my pregnancy with her as well as dvt . can any of this be related?
|
Hello, Thanks for posting your query. Bruises over leg can be due to blood disorders, infection,coagulopathy, vasculitis or autoimmune disease. As you have history of anemia and DVT, then Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation should also be ruled out. You should visit your doctor and get tests like CBC, ESR,PT, APTT, D-dimer,serum fibrinogen, C-reactive protein. Then it will be easier to reach a proper diagnosis. Hope it helps. Take Care!

Hello, It could be an allergic eruption. As a first line management, you can take antihistamines like Cetirizine for symptomatic relief. You can also apply topical antibiotics and steroid creams also. If symptoms persist better to consult a dermatologist and get evaluated.

My daughter age 6 chked on a sweet 2 days ago, a woman helped to dislodge it by hitting my daughter on the back. She appears ok however I am noticing that she seems to be burping lots now and also says it feels like something is stuck in her throat when eating.
|
Hi, when something like you said sweet had stuck in the throat and was dislodged by thrust on back, can produce inflammation at point of stuck. And till this inflammation persists your child will feel that something has stuck there or lump like feeling. There is no need to worry, these symptoms will subside on its own in 1 week. I hope this has helped you. Wishing your child good health. Take care.

Hello , I appear to be in good health , a little weight gain but stays pretty steady. Had a check last year all came good. Recently this Saturday as laid down to rest for the evening, I experienced a very different issue. I rested on left side with left arm folded up by my ear and under a pillow. Some time after that I gently strength our my arm and immediately experienced a very painful pain run up my left arm, then a good hit to my chest after immediately i began to sweat cold with chills and felt light headed and dizzy and a bit nauseous. Not sure were this came from, but was worried if a mild heart attack I may have experienced. Could this be possible . From that on I am still feeling a little light headed, and nauseous with my left are just week. Was this some type of a heart attack ?? Thank you Marie Nanez
|
Hello Marie, the kind of pain you described more likely due a transient neural (nerve) compression because of the position of your arm, cardiac pain is more dull aching like heaviness in the chest, which will be persistent. So be assured, however because a week has gone by, and you are still anxious, it would be ok if you can get a EKG done, which will give us some idea about the heart. Regards Chat Doctor.

|
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. I have gone through the x-ray report you have mentioned. It is old healed Scar lesion from previous TB infection. These lesions are inactive and seen life long. So for work visa, we need to prove that these lesions are not active, infectious. So get done CT thorax and bronchoscopy. If they are negative for active infection then you can definitely apply for work visa. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.

Sir my parents are staying in mavelikara town. My mother has been undergoing treatment for neuro disorder of epilepsy for the last 6 to 7 yrs. She was under the treatment of dr. Parameswaran in indoamerican hospital vaikom. Last 1 month she has a disc problem in her back which relatively affects her knee . Now she is under the treatmeny of an ortho doc. In mvk. He addressed the problem because as a neuro disorder.. Can u suggest a good neuro specialist in and around mvk region as my mother cannot travel for more than 10 mts... Pls advice...

Although doctors in your area know the geography better to advise suitable neurosurgeon. I feel Christian medical college Nellore is an excellent choice but since it is about 500 km away 9-10 hours journey is not unfeasible seeing the expertise available there. I am posting correspondence ad Chat Doctor. The current Head of the Department is

Hi it is now my 5th day since i had my wisdom tooth extracted (growing in wisdom tooth) lately ive been feeling this itchy hurt. And it was still bleeding this morning . Im not sur if its still bleeding right now coz i just finish eating but then i looked at in the mirror and theres this kinda whitish thing then theres a black thing on top of it not sure but it doesnt hurt really bad but it hurts a little kinda feeling the nerve then to my ear is that normal .. I dont want to go to the sentist again coz its expensive i dont have an insuranceAlso can i now brush my teeth with toothpaste (colgate optic white).?
|
Hi, Thanks for asking the query, Pain and swelling are most common after wisdom tooth extraction, and they subside after sometimes, according to your clinical symptoms I suppose that you might have some trauma to the nerve at the time of extraction. I would suggest you to take multivitamin supplements for 15 days. Take lukewarm saline rinses. Take antiseptic mouthwash gargles. Avoid smoking and consumption of hot and spicy food stuffs. If the symptoms persists or worsen then you have to visit to the concerned Dentist and get the checkup done. Hope you find this as helpful, Regards.

I started the pill yaz flex in october/november 2013 and got some breakthrough bleeding during the first or second month using it so i just took the 4 day break and everything was fine. 3 weeks ago I went overseas and the plane trips in total equaled about 25 hours. I had sex a few times but my boyfriend pulled out before he did anything and most of the time we used condoms. Then i got my period and it has lasted about 2 weeks and during this time we had sex but again he pulled out. The bleeding has ranged from heavy and red to light and brown.. Now that I am back home I have started the 4 day break and it has been 2 days and i still only have brown discharge. Is it quite unlikely that I could be pregnant due to the fact i took the pill correctly (usually on time but if not only about an hour late) and that he never came inside me? Ive read that the 2 weeks of bleeding can be due to hormones changing from change of lifestyle and things (like being overseas) and also that the body is getting used to the pill, is this correct? I have a habit of overthinking things and stressing myself out so it would be helpful to have a second opinion thank you.

I think you are right that you are stressing yourself out needlessly. The fact that you were taking the pills properly is quite reliable in preventing pregnancy. The fact that he pulled out might help a little too, but that doesn't work very well to prevent pregnancy. Some people may have a bit of discharge during the pill free time, but as long as it is not too bothersome, you don't need to worry about it. It is also true that travel and life changes can affect your cycles.
