I have a rock hard lump at the back of my throat directly behind the uvula, for a couple of days i thought it was like in my neck touching my throat as i can feel it somewhat in the way of my airflow. Its not painful in the slightest, i don t struggle to breathe or swallow, but i m worried it may be growing in size. it s about the size of a malteser but gets gradually smaller as i run my finger down it. its probably over an inch long

|
More antibiotic consumption may disturb intestinal flora, increase acidity disturb PH of stomach and brings the redness of tongue may cause pain give her regularly milk both times in a day along with 1TSF of honey and more fibers and soft diet that will clean colon and problem get reduced all the best

I started a cold and dry cough two days ago. This afternoon I noticed some burning inside my mouth when eating warm soup and I have some red areas and irritation in the back of my throat, roof of my mouth and sides. There are no white patches as of yet. What should I do to prevent this from getting worse, do you think this could be strep throat ?
|
Hi. Thanks for the query. Symptoms of cold and cough with red areas on the palate, inner cheeks and throat area is all due to infection only. As the mucosal surfaces are irritated and inflamed due to infection, therefore there is burning sensation while eating or Chat Doctor. . So my suggestion is to consult an Emergency room and get a throat swab culture done. It will help in ruling out whether it is bacterial or viral throat infection. At times there is viral infection with secondary bacterial infection. In that case you will be advised antibiotics like Azithromycin, anti-inflammatory painkillers like Advil, Alive etc., do warm saline gargles, antiseptic mouthwash gargles and suck throat lozenges. You can also suck lozenges with numbing agents to reduce pain and burning. Hope this helps. Regards.

Hi - i have sciatica with pain going down my right leg when it occurs! i did a mantoux test that says i have Mycobacterium TB of the spine. Have been taking pyrazinamide-rifampicin-isoniazid-ethambutol for about 6months now!! Please, any suggestions to ease the leg cramps and sciatica?? Thanks, Aminu, nigeria.

Hi Amino, thanks for asking from Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. You are suffering from Potts spine (TB of spine). You are already taking 4 first line anti-tubercular therapy, which is ideal treatment of Potts spine. The therapy is long, around 9 to 15 months. There is no standard treatment guidelines. The duration can be decided based on your physician decision and your symptoms. Now coming to your symptoms, leg cramps and sciatica. These symptoms are most probably due to compression and collapse of vertebrae, collection of pus in spinal canal and compression of nerves. To get relief, you should-Avoid any kind of weight-bearing- Avoid flexion and extension at spine-Wear back supporting belt like thoracolumbar corset.- For pain relief, you can take tablet pregabalin after proper prescription. Usual adult is 75 to 150 mg twice a day. If still no relief, you can take tablet amitriptyline after proper prescription.- For cramps, do physiotherapy and take tablet baclofen after proper prescription.- Also increase your protein and calcium intake for strengthening bones. If still no relief and symptoms worsen, repeat MRI spine to rule out any progressively increasing compression of spinal cord or nerves. Sometimes surgery (less than 10% cases) may be needed to relieve pressure symptoms. Hope it will help you. If still in doubt, do let me know. Thanks. Take care. Chat Doctor.

i want to know that my gyeno has recommended me femilon conterceptive pills but how to take it and after sex or before it and she has also told me to take it after my second day of my periods?and at what time in the whole day?and after taking these tablets how many times we can have sex in a month?

Hi, Felon is a combined oral contraception pill commonly used for prevent an unwanted pregnancy. Take one active pill (with hormones) once daily for 21 days in a row. If you are using a product with 28 tablets, take an inactive pill once daily for 7 days in a row after you have taken the last active pill. If you start taking the pill within 5 days after your period starts, you will be protected from pregnancy straight away. If you start combination pills any other time, you will not be protected from an unwanted pregnancy you need to take another method of birth control like a condom during your first week on the pill if you wish to have sex. The pill should be taken on regular basis at the same time of the day. You can have sex as long as you are comfortable but remember, although these pills can prevent an unwanted pregnancy, but they do not prevent any sexually transmitted disease like HIV. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care

Usually mouth sores are due to It B and C deficiency. It is advisable to load yourself with It B complex supplements and It C. Application of local ointments like McCoppin would lead to pain relief and healing would be possible with ointments like Hegel. Try applying these before and after meals

sure ty for listening I have several disorders and I am experiencing bad panic or anxiety attacks recently. due to my experiences these attacks are usually short and controllable. But now they are causing physical symptoms of elevated bp and heart rate, split second blanks of consciousness. I have gone to my pcp and heart issues have been removed as all my test are normal. I am under medication for ptsd and meninears disease, ( sorry don t know how to spell it correctly) so the line of panic attacks and vertigo often becomes blurred. however I am now having memory issues and blurred vision can you help me better articulate these symptoms to my pcp
|
Are you taking medicine for your panic attacks? Your physical symptoms, memory problems are due to anxiety and panic. You need to tell your PCP that anxiety and panic symptoms are difficult to control on their own now, and you are having memory problems due to it. Hence you need specialist care and therapy or medicines

Hello, Thank you for using Chat Doctor. I read your question and understood your concern. The ESR value that you show is very high. It means inflammation or infection in the joints, so it needs proper treatment with antibiotics and anti-inflammatory medication. I wish your mother quick recovery.

I had unprotected sex with a new partner last night. Soon after we started I started feeling a pain on both sides of my penis glans as if it was rubbing against teeth or something else hard. Today there appears to be two small fissures on the site of the edge of my glans where I first felt the pain, two red patches on top of the glans near the fissures and two bumpy rashes just below the glans. All are sore and uncomfortable. Im worried Ive contracted herpes but it happened straight away. Is there anything else it could be?
|
HelloThanks for query. You have developed fissures and red patches on glans penis next after unprotected sex with new partner. This is mostly due to Chat Doctor. Herpes 2 infection takes 3-5 days to appear after sex with infected person. You need to take broad spectrum antibiotic like Čeferin along with anti-inflammatory

Hi, Thanks for the query. I am sorry to know about the mishaps in both of your pregnancies. I have read your query carefully, I feel both the times there were different causes forth outcome.(First time may be fall /hit to abdomen, high blood pressure or UN diagnosed placenta prefix & second time due to family history / viral infection like Rubella in first three months of pregnancy) Still You need to plan your next pregnancy with due precautions as follows. - Both of you get full physical check up & relevant investigations to rule out any existing health problem./ get safe alterations in regular medication for chronic illness. If any. Have a healthy lifestyle for 3 months prier to conception, see that you don't get any health problem & do not need any medication in those days. - Get Rubella vaccination 3-4 months before you plan pregnancy. If a pregnant lady gets rubella infection in first three months of pregnancy . The fetus gets congenital defects, one of them being heart problem. - Get you thyroid profile done before you plan for pregnancy. Normal thyroid hormone is essential for fetal developmental If you have any thyroid problem. It must be controlled before pregnancy & normal levels maintained throughout pregnancy with endocrinologists advise Once you get pregnant, be careful to follow doctors advise after regular pregnancy check-ups./ have healthy lifestyle/nutritious diet/ exercises & sleep. With a planned pregnancy & careful follow-ups you would be blessed with a bony baby. Rest assured. Thanks.

Hi guys, Good a bit of issue, about 2 weeks ago, I noticed a pea size lump on my anus rim. Prior to that about a week before I was traveling oversea in South E. Asia and got diarrhea for about 2 days and had very red stools. I went to the clinic and they suspected food poisoning gave so medication to solidify my stool. To date, the pea sized lump is virtually gone, however I have noticed a white pimple spot near the anus. A bit worried about it, I ll definitely be seeing the doc next week when I have time off. Seeking a bit of insight to put my mind at easy. Look forward to your assistance.

Hi, Dear,Thanks for the query to Chat Doctor. I studied your problem in depth and I understood your concerns. Cause for pea size lump around anus-In my opinion your small perianal lump is -Sentinel pile, which would need confirmation from ER Surgeon, as it appears to be there long back, simultaneously and got detected now. This is non-malignant condition but needs treatment by an ER Surgeon.Hence, stop worrying about it, as it is not a CANCER as you fear and think, but do check it up from ER Surgeon. For Final Diagnosis and treatment needs clinical data from a Doctor. And Hence for further treatment I would advise you to Consult ER Surgeon, who would treat it accordingly. This advice is based on the facts from the history you give and needs further clinical check.Hence, I would advise you to check with ER Surgeon. So don't build up wrong concepts and create more psychic complications in you which would increase risks and costs to you. Hope this would relieve your problem. Welcome for any more query in this regard to Chat Doctor. Write good resume and Click thanks if you feel satisfied with my advice. Have a Good Day. Chat Doctor. N.

I went to er Friday night for severe lower back pain. They did a ct scan and it was normal. They said it was probably a muscle strain and gave me pain meds and muscle relaxer. It s been 2 days and I m still in pretty severe pain. I can t walk, sit down, stand up, sit up from laying without a lot of help. The pain radiates into my hips,legs and sometimes groin area. I can t reach far with my arms without causing pain in my back. I can t move my legs very much without pain, I can t even wipe myself when going to the bathroom. The only relief I get is slightly reclining in a reclining chair and thats still painful. Should I go to my primary doctor tomorrow or give it a few more days?
|
Hi, You said you underwent a CT scan, and it is normal. Then it will be literally a muscle spasm. By meeting up a physical therapist he will help you a lot. Ask for a Therapeutic Ultrasound therapy and TENS for the pain. It will help you reduce the spasm and pain as well. Doing a little of core stability exercises will surely help and make your core stronger to avoid any aches and pain in the future.

Degree understand your concerns went through your description. I suggest you not to worry much. From the given details, I can surely suggest that you are anxious. Stress and anxiety go hand in hand. The high blood pressure with tachycardia without any cardiac or digestive symptoms surely points at anxiety and apprehension. You should learn to relax and handle the stress and anxiety. Do not take self medications. You may also be obsessed with blood pressure monitor. The moment you tie into your arm, the BP rises, but in actuality it is not. Therefore, please do not take BP medicine without expert advise. Continue the current medicines, exercise, do relaxation exercises, meditation etc. Psychotherapy treatment should also help you immensely. If you still require my services on this aspect, you may post a direct query to me on this portal. Please include as many details as possible. I shall provide psychotherapy treatment tailor made for you which should help you good. Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications. Good luck.

I was on my normal 5 mile walk yesterday and all of a sudden going up a hill I got this sudden sharp pain that ran thought my knee cap. Almost like an electrical shock. Only lasted a few seconds but started walking and it happened again. Got home did the whole ice, elevate and did some stretching. Doesn t bother me to kneel or go up stairs. Today I ve has a few (3) episodes. It s totally random. I do have osteo arthritis. Any thoughts?
|
Hi I did review your concern. Your electric shock like sensation over knee could be due to nerve root irritation in the back like lumbar spinal stenosis and typically occurs when you extend you back or walk on toes. I would advise you to consult an orthopedic surgeon who can help you with diagnosis or a neurologist who can also run tests like Nerve conduction tests. A spinal MRI after detailed neurological test would be highly advantageous here. I hope this helps. Let me know if you have any more questions or concerns. Wish you healthy and happy life ahead.

hi, my wife has a dry cough for sometime now, and had a history of Asthma long back in the history, and was told by the doctor then that although it is cured now, it can relapse after forty. She is 34 now, and the doctor yesterday prescribed her to take foracort 200 inhaler from Cipla for 6 weeks, and said that it is not for Asthma but the component in it addresses Allergic condition that she is prevailing now due to which the cough is occurring. Can you please confirm if the use of this inhaler can tend to become habit or is a curable method?
|
Hi, Thanks for posting your query. As your wife has past history of asthma, there is high chances of persisting asthma. Foracort 200 is meant for the same purpose. Still you should consult with internal medicine specialist/ chest physician and should go for thorough check up. Inhalational therapy (by forecourt) has been defined the best therapy. By this route, medicine directly reach up to the lungs and whole body is prevented from the side effects of the medicines. Medicines available in inhaler is in microgram while medicine taken orally is in milligram, so by this route body is exposed to less dosage. Asthma is an allergic disease and if it is occurring in adult age then chances of permanent cure is least likely. It can be controlled but can't be eradicated. If body needs use of inhaler for getting relief then it can't be labeled as habit. Take care,

Hi, I am Sarmistha . I want to know about my fathers health. At pre sent he has creatinine level 1.5Now he had done a X-ray report and ultra sonography . In ultra sonography report there is no calculus found, but in X-ray report there is upper pelvis multiple calcification. Is it very serious problem?
|
Hi Samantha, Looking at the radiological and ultrasound findings, in my opinion these are normal age related changes. The pelvic calcifications seen are due to calcium depositions in the pelvic veins. It is normal age related degenerative change. The ultrasound findings are normal and there are no stones. Creatinine levels are dependent on muscle mass and exercise. 1.5 mg could be normal. Require further history of diabetes or hypertension or any renal related abnormalities to further confirm. Any further queries, happy to help again.

My lil girl was born Saterday the 14th but i lost alot of blood and had to go to theatre. Monday I noticed that her feet were slightly tilted inwards and on asking the baby docter she said it looks like telipes. could you please tell me if it is something i did wrong during my pragnancy and what is usually done to correct. We do have a scane set up for her but its only in a month and a half.
|
Hello. I just read through your question. You did absolutely nothing wrong during you pregnancy. This is something that happens from time to time. In most cases, it resolves on its own during the first three years of life. More will be known after the scan. Until then, enjoy and nurture your baby.

my 5 year old daughter has had high fevers consistently for 5 days now. Her dr put her on zithromax but she doesn t seem to be getting better. She had some vomiting during the week but otherwise just coughing with a lot of congestion. Just now I was brushing her hair and noticed when she coughed what seems to be a soft spot bulges a little bit. Is this normal? I brush her hair all the time and have never noticed a soft spot.
|
For persistent high fever, first you have to go for blood investigation to isolate the cause. You can give her syrup IFIC or moxikind-cv after expert advice along with tynol-plus or broken junior for high grade fever. Give her vomiting or onset for vomiting and bronzed or shaking for cough. Do cold sponging to reduce the temperature of her body.

I had breast reduction surgery four days ago and I have a slight yellow discharge coming from the incision, it is constant slow drainage, it took all day to soak through a piece of gauze. I also have a small blood blister on the incision..is either an infection? Should I caal my doctor?
|
Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor. I understand your concern and yellow discharge and a blister does indicate infection. Thick yellow discharge and foul smell indicates infection by bacteria like staphylococcus. You might be prescribed antibiotics and painkillers to be taken after the surgery. I suggest you get in touch with your doctor and get the prescription for antibiotics extended for 7-10 days. Also get the wound Chat Doctor. Thanks.

My dad had a compression of D10-D12 vertebrae because of a fall. He is completely on bed. how long will it take for him to get better. As a follow on, what is the diet he should follow so that he can regain the spinal strength. Will he be able to lead a pain free life.
|
Hello. I have been through your question and understand your concern. Generally after a fracture of this kind of it is stable (like I suppose in this case, otherwise your dad would have had spinal fixation) it is recommended a 6-week bed rest. Afterwards he can return to his normal activities with certain precautions. Generally these cases go well. He might have some back pain, but not serious or debilitating kind of pain. Wish your dad the best health. Please feel free using MHC again.

Many thanks

hi sir, i am 30 years, male. i am masturbating since i was 12 years old, now over the years it become my habit, i do it every night now. sometimes 2 times in night. result is i am underweight, seek person, i got tired easly. my penis erection is not as hard as it used to be, also i ejaculate early. even if when i am not doing masturbation but looking/reading/thinking any erotic thing, something like waters come out from my penis continuously. please help me
|
Degree understand your concerns went through your details. Let me assure you, masturbation in moderation is good for health and is a stress buster. Moderation means, in your age, thrice a week or so. Never twice daily. This habit also shows, you are not engaged in any other physical activities and job related activities, and you have enough leisure time. Exercise rigorously and be active and take interest in your job. Automatically the masturbation addiction comes down. I don't see masturbation directly affecting your health. But anxiety based on masturbation can affect your mental health. You could need psychological counseling. If you still need my assistance in this regard, please use this link. http://goo.gl/aYW2pR. Please remember to describe the whole problem with full detail. Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications. Good luck.

During scan, it becomes difficult sometimes to see the whole fetus properly in cases of less liquor. So if Tiff scan is normal no need to worry. However, if your liquor is less than you need to undergo scan for liquor weekly to see for any further decrease in liquor.Also, you should Chat Doctor.

my husband has had a by pass 10 years ago in 3 major veins he also had a stent put in one of his veins lately. HE ALSO HAS DIABETES.He stopped all his heart pills except those of diabetes.He is now spitting blood especially in the morning. Do you think that this is because of the stent? Thank you
|
Hi, dear. I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. Spitting of blood may be due to many reasons. He may have cirrhosis of liver or some problems in lung. You should go for ultrasound abdomen and x-ray chest. Search the cause and take treatment accordingly. It's not due to stent. 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.

My 9 year old son fell and hit his forehead near the hairline on a slide at the playground today. Its bruised around the site but its indented. Ive never seen this before. He says it hurts to touch, no headache or any other symptoms. Should I take him in?
|
Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor, As the injury is on forehead and indented, there are chances that there is an underlying fracture of the skull bones. You should take him to a nearby hospital and get it checked as early as possible. Please get an X-ray/CT scan to rule out fracture. For the time being, you can give him Arica 200, 1 dose now and second dose tomorrow. It will help in reducing pain and speedy healing. Hope it sorts your problem.

Dear Dr. From past few days i feel mild pain on my stomach (i believe its due to because of my tight pants) and 4days before when i was pooing solid semen came out from my penis.. when i tried to discharge the stool liquid semen also coming... same thing happened yesterday also? can u please advise me wht i have to do?
|
Hello, There could be simple logical explanation for this problem is that you might have retrograde ejaculation means semen enters your bladder instead of coming out of urethra or there is some semen left in urethra after the last ejaculation. However, it's not possible to have semen in bowels, that whitish discharge could be due to mucus in stool which could be a due number of reasons like infections, fissures, bowel obstruction or Crohn's disease. I suggest you to visit your doctor for detailed checkup regarding your problems and treat you accordingly. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

I hope this makes sense and thank you for reading

Hello dear, thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your situation and problem. Travelling is a risk factor for pneumonia. So in your case, since you are still having coughing and chest pain, better to consult pulmonologist and get done1. Repeat chest x ray2. PUT (pulmonary function test). Repeat chest x-ray is needed to rule out worsening of pneumonia. PFT is needed to rule out bronchitis as this is common after pneumonia. You may need inhaled bronchodilators and antihistamine Chat Doctor. So better to consult pulmonologist and first diagnose yourself and then start appropriate treatment. Don't worry, you will be alright.

Squeezing pain under my left breast Q: Hi Dr., I m a 49 y/o male, 5 10 tall, 83kg in weight, don t drink and smoke. On Propranolol 20mg x 3 time/day for palpitation and blood pressure. My palpitation and blood pressure started July last year, in the wee hrs in the morning while sleeping. Rushed to hospital and said the cause is anxiety. Until to-date, the doctor/s could not figure it out the actual cause of my palpitation and blood pressure. Stress test (treadmill), Echo, and ECG were done and shows normal. Have done laser surgery for nasal swelling a yr ago. Have been treated for mild bronchitis, and use inhaler whenever I feel chest tightness. Palpitation & BP are under control. My total cholesterol test today shows 4.39 mmol/L.Past few weeks, I am getting squeezing pain under my left breast (off and on) which is quite painful and lasts for 2 to 3 mins. I m concerned about the pain and seeking help. Please help me. Thank you.

Hi, This is likely a gastritis and acidity problem. Avoid fatty, oily and high calorie diet. Have some walk after having food instead of taking rest. Have multiple small meals instead of heavy meals. Have regular sleep habits and avoid stress. Lots of green leafy vegetables, fruits. Avoid smoking and alcohol if any. You can get prescribed tab Pantoprazole before breakfast once a day for 2 weeks. For pain, you can ask for antispasmodic like Dicyclomine. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

My 4yr old son has horrible armpit odor. I bathe him every night or every other. I keep a clean house and change his sheets every 10 days. The only problem I can think of is his diet consists of dairy and carbs, which Im working on changing. Any ideas?

Abnormal skin odor may b due to some foods and sometimes some metabolic disorders may also cause this. You should consult your pediatrician for that.

I had tyroid cancer and spread to lymph nodes in my neck. It has been a year. I feel a lump in the crease of my left arm.if a sleep on it or bend my arm for period of time i feel pressure and it gets numb. I never had a whole body cat scan. Could It be cancer? Or and enlarge, hardened lymph node from the radioactive radiation?
|
Hi. The location you described - the crease of arm has no nodes at all in a normal anatomy position. This may be something else, may be related to the joint or the bone. A simple x-ray may be helpful as is the opinion of an Orthopedic Surgeon.

HI...by what you quote I feel that your kid is presenting with a classical history suggestive of - 1. A neurodegenerative disorder or2. A sub-acute form of cerebellums most probably viral in origin or post viral. If it is neurodegenerative disorder - normal MRI doesn't rule it out in the early stages. But acute or sub-acute cerebellums should have been picked in the MRI brain. I suggest you consult a pediatric neurologist for this. Regards -

Red spotted rash on face, bilateral arms and legs, torso, chest and shoulders and upper back. Vitals normal. Now having chest pain that radiates through to right of my thoracic spine. The chest pain mimics heart burn and seems to be coming in waves. Finished (dental prescription post root canal) oral clindamycin treatment 4 days ago, during end of treatment I did notice some slight redness to my left cheek, but figured it was the sun or heat.
|
Hi I do care for your concern. The red rashes may be caused due to sun exposure or even trivial exposure to allergens, and to some extent caused by the rug that you are taking. The higher antibiotic such as Linda may cause heart burn. If I were your treating doctor then I would advise, To start on oral anti ulcer Chat Doctor. Hope I have answered your question. If you have more doubts feel free to ask. Thank you.

Sir, Recently I have gone medical checkup, it was noticed that Liver size is normal with increased echopattern. The IHBR aree dilated. No focal SOL is seen. Portal vein is normal in callibar What it means, what are the symptons normally we see in this regards. what do you suggest, whether is it serious in nature.
|
HelloIncreased echo texture of liver may indicate fatty changes in liver. It may be due to many reasons like obesity, sedentary lifestyle, hepatitis,alcohol intake, altered lipid profile, diabetes mellitus, medicines etc. You may need few more investigations like routine hologram, random blood sugar, liver function test, lipid profile. Other findings in liver are normal. Intrahepatic biliary articles(IRS), portal vein are normal. You should increase your physical activity and avoid fried and fatty food. Fatty liver is a reversible condition. Get well soon. Take Care Chat Doctor.

Yes, I have been having some watery red spotting after I wipe when I go pee pee. I have been the the doctor three times and I gave them a urine specimen. The first time, doctor diagnosed me with a UTI, but wasnt sure if it could also be a yeast infection. So, she prescribed Bacterim for 5 days but it gave me diahhrea so Dr. changed it to Cipro, which worked fine. She also gave me a one time pill to take for the yeast infection after finishing the Cipro. I took all my medication. During treatment, I saw a little spotting of watered down blood after wiping my pee pee. Dr. took another urine exam. Said I never had UTI but that I definitely had a yeast infection. I finished all my meds so I waited to see if I would be okay and it seemed as though I was. Yesterday, when I went pee pee, I wiped and saw some more watered down red spots on the tissue. I returned to the Dr. today who ordered a urinalysis. He is having me worked up for bladder or kidney cancer just as a precaution. Still dont know what is causing the sporadic blood spots. Pls. advise.

What would you say is the problem if I m experiencing more bloating than normal, specifically in the face, and I notice I m more sensitive to alcohol, experiencing blackouts after drinking alcohol but not what I would consider an excessive amount... Could this be a sign I need to cleanse my liver? Or could I have Candid overgrowth?
|
Hi, thanks for using Chat Doctor If you are experiencing black-outs in response to alcohol use, it would be best to discontinue the use of alcohol even if you are only using small quantities. It is possible that alcohol use can affect the liver particularly if it is used repeatedly but liver disease itself, unless very severe, would not normally cause loss of consciousness. In terms of candida overgrowth, this is not a known cause of black-outs. Other potential causes would be electrolyte disorders, heart disease, low blood pressure, deny Chat Doctor. I hope this helps

My husband had a CABG 7 years ago and continues to get rare, mild chest pain, back pain at pinpoint areas lasting anywhere from a few seconds to several hours. It does not spread to any other areas during the pain. No other cardiac symptoms. Unrelieved w/ntg. He takes lisinopril, asa, plavix, metoprolol, simvastatin. What is causing this? His cardiologist tells him to monitor it.

Hi, Welcome. Localized pinpointed pain is rarely cardiac. Cardiac pain is diffused & increase on exertion. Still to rule out any associated cardiac disease, Ill advice you to undergo a Stress Echo. If that is negative than you need not worry from the cardiac point of view. Thanks

Hi...I have a 4 year old girl and she has been sick fir a few days (fever and not very hungry). I noticed today that she want able to make itvuo the bathroom in time, so she urinated on herself. The urine smelled weird...kind of fishy, but definitely strong. I am concerned at what it could bevand whether I should take her to the doctor. Please help me. Thank you.

Hi, thank you for the question. It looks from your history that your child might be having a urinary tract infection which can be confirmed with a urinalysis and if confirmed can be treated with a course of antibiotics like definite. You need not worry about the loss of appetite which is due to fever, once your child is started on treatment and the fever starts coming down the appetite improves. You should take your doctor to a pediatrician. Chil Chat Doctor.

Hi, I have my first test tomorrow in my history class and today I woke up feeling very tired and weak. I have had body aches all day and my throat sort of hurts. I recently got a flu shot about a week and a half ago because the flu had been going around the college I attend. Am I coming down with something?

So, no need to worry about it as it will subside within a week. Although if it stays for more than a week, then you should consult your physician. Hope this was of helped me know if you have other queries. Thank you

I had hot flashes and heart palpitations last night and am still feeling jittery today. No heart palpitations just an overall jittery feeling and slight hot flashes. I took two asthma inhalers, a claritin, a pepcid and a lexapro last night about 3 hours before all this happened. Was this a medicine reaction or perimenopause?

Hi, I was wondering if there are any permanent effects from taking Keppra (anti-epileptic/seizure drug). I ve been on it for just over a year now and we only just cut my dosage in half a month ago, but I m still very irritable, easily frustrated, and not myself. I have had major memory problems since I started taking it--even when someone reminds me of something, I still won t remember it sometimes. Will this go away eventually? I ve read things other people have posted in forums, and some people say people they know who took Keppra never were the same and never got their normal mood and memory back. I just want to be me again. Thanks!

I ve read things other people have posted in forums, and some people say people they know who took Keppra never were the same and never got their normal mood and memory back. I just want to be me again. Thanks!

About 1.5 years ago I started with a wart on mid-finger (rt) hand. I have tried OTC remedies i.e. compound W and Freeze Away. It would kill the top surface of the skin, but would continue to grow afterwards. ( Seemed as though it fertilized them). What started as one went to 5 on mid finger, 1 on ring finger, 2 on index finger, 1 on knuckle on rt. hand m.( index ). as well as one on left thumb knuckle joint. The big one on mid finger is cracked in 2 different places and occasionally bleeds. I m sure this has some to do with the Papilona HIV. virus. Can these be burned off by a dermatologists?

Hello, I understand your concern. I am Chat Doctor, infectious disease specialist, answering your concern. Wart is caused by the HPV virus. Not HIV. Yes it can be burnt of by the phenol by the dermatologist. But wide variety of the treatment is available for wart to treat depending on the size, location and severity of the infection. Visiting the nearby doctor can help you further. OTC remedies won't help in your case instead it worsens the case. So please do not take the OTC medication.

my 16 year old son injured his back at work last month, we had an mri done today and the preliminary results show spinal stenosis and bulges of discs herniation of L4 -L5, the technician told me he has the back of an old man...referring to the spinal stenosis ....and the injury at work could have caused the bulging disc , i wont know anything until primary sees the mri report but he is in alot of pain and i am confused about the spinal stenosis
|
Treatment of spinal stenosis is surgical. But l4 l5 disc bulge may be incidental finding on MRI. IF ANY MOTOR WEAKNESS OR SENSORY LOSS IN LOWER LIMB, then it needs surgery. Only for pain take conservative medical treatment. Take painkiller Mossad D IF SEVERE PAIN AND physiotherapy

Hi and thank you so much for this query. I am so sorry to hear about this. It can be so overwhelming to have a wife who portrays all these characteristics.

Hi My 5 year old has had flu-like symptoms for almost five days now, two days ago he started having fever (up to 38.7 celsius) and is complaining of sore knees! He is also coughing! At first I thought it was a regular flu as myself, my husband and my other child have flu too but when he mentioned his knees I was really concerned!
|
Howell come to ChatDoctorI really appreciate your concern, it is already five days gone, so this may not be flu, but chances of bacterial infection is very likely and this need to be ruled out now and for this better to get done the blood test and urine test and more important is not seen the pediatrician, hope this helps, take care and have a nice day.

My girlfriend is on the contraception pill and she has been on it for 7 months now. Every month she takes a break for her period tho her period always starts before she finishes her strip for the seven day break. This month is different! She has finished her strip and is now into the second day of her break and her period has still not come. Why is this ? Is she pregnant ?
|
HelloThanks for your query. The chances of getting pregnant while using the contraceptive pill regularly are very, very low. Occasionally, while on the pill, a period might be missed. However, as she is very regular, please take a pregnancy test to confirm. Take care.

I can feel a bubble like thing on my left side of my chest. I can make it move and I do burp a lot. Also have like a feeling of my heart stopping or something pop or move. Then a warm sensation goes throughout my body and kinda stays at my head for a second. I do feel light headed at the time and scared. I figured it could be a hiatal hernia with anxiety combo

The symptoms you describe seems more as you guessed as HERD, what we call reflux the cause of which may be hiatus hernia. Something to help the symptoms Avoid tea, coffee, chocolate s, aerated Chat Doctor. You may take omeprazole /pantoprazole 40 mg plus domperidome 30 mg combination 15 before breakfast for 3 weeks. OTC

HelloWelcome to ChatDoctorAs you and your boyfriend had lots of unprotected sex, most probably you have contracted some type of sexually transmitted infection. This infection can cause bladder infection. So, i would advise you to consult your gynecologist and undergo physical examination as soon as possible and take a course of antibiotics and painkillers as soon as possible. Thank you

Hello. Welcome to Chat Doctor. I have read your question and understand your concerns. Once END STAGE KIDNEY DISEASE occurs there are only 2 options available to the patients.1. Regular maintenance dialysis for lifetime.2. Kidney transplantation. My advice to you is-1. If you can find a suitable donor for kidney transplantation then it will be the best treatment available.Meanwhile, maintain regular dialysis is essential for continuation of life. We can't stop dialysis of a failing kidney otherwise person cant survive more than few weeks.2. The symptoms you have mentioned are all due to kidney failure. Just ask your doc about in.erythropoietin to increase his HE levels. Avoid excessive salt and water use. Avoid any type of painkillers and excessive protein diet.3. Do his kidney profile every monthly and keep in regular followup of your nephrologist. Thank you.

Hi, My wife took a postpone tablet on the 28th day of her cycle and on the same day we had unprotected sex. She also took a emergency contraceptive pill (iPill) after 48 hours of our intercourse. She has not got her periods yet. and today is 32nd day after her last period. Is there any chance that she is pregnant?
|
Assuming that she took the pill within 72 hours of intercourse as you describe, she shouldn't be pregnant. The fact that her period is delayed may be a result of the pill which can sometimes cause irregular periods. However, if you also had intercourse at any other time in the cycle, without taking the pill or using another form of birth control, then she could be pregnant. I would recommend taking a pregnancy test either way, just to make sure she isn't pregnant. I hope this answers your question, please let me know if you need any more information.

Hi, I am 50 yr old female I had mono last February and I have the same symptoms again. Low fever daily constant fatigue. is it possible that it has just returned. The Dr. couldn t do anything for it the last time should I make another appointment to see him.
|
Greetings from Chat Doctor. Thanks for posting your query. Fever and fatigue can be caused by any infection. Infection most commonly happens due to Virus or bacteria. Even MONO is a viral infection. Among viral and bacterial infection, most of the viral infections are self limiting, means there will get cured by itself in 2-4 days. So my advice it to wait for 2-3 days, you can take Tylenol for fever,

Hi Doctor,i have done liver test. In the result, SGOT is high as 140 but SGPT is in normal value. let me know whehter there is any problem due to this value. i have undergone treatement for TB 7 years back and for jaundice 12 years back. will it be a reason for this high level
|
Hi thanks for asking question. You have not mentioned which type of jaundice do you had in past?? You have taken antitb treatment which can lead hepatotoxicity and lead to hepatitis. So Chat Doctor. Just now viral cause for hepatitis has to be ruled to put by doing viral marker.Bag carrier can lead its elevated value. Fatty liver also can lead its elevated value.USG will be helpful for that. Sometimes previous heart attack and muscle injury can lead to elevated liver enzymes. It is better to repeat value after 3 months if cause is not clear. If still cause not clear and value increasing then USG and FNAC can be done as further work up. For that consult gastric surgeon. I hope I have solved your query. Regards;

My cousin who is 58 year old male is having certain signs of physic whcih needs treatment:1. His sister is totally mentally sick and she refuses to take medicines. I feel this sickness is in the family , that means it is hereditary. They have another two brothers which also have light signs of this ailment. 2. This cousin to whom am referrring gets irritated for little things. But he does all the work well but he gets some sound which remains in his memory and haunts him all the time those illusions. I am trying to give him Parocen 25 mgs , one per day for 6 months and than reduce it to 12.5 mgs.

Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor. Thanks for your query. I understand that you are concerned about your brothers psychological problems. From the limited information that you have provided it is not possible to pinpoint a definitive diagnosis. A detailed history and proper psychological assessment is necessary for this. Regarding the medication that he is on - Proven (Paroxetine) is an anti-depressant medication and Located (Clonazepam) is a sedative / antianxiety medication. Without confirming the diagnosis, it is not possible to say whether this medication are appropriate for him or not. I'm not sure if he has been seen by a doctor and then prescribed this medication. If not, please take him to a psychiatrist for a detailed evaluation and further treatment. Wish you all the best.

Without confirming the diagnosis, it is not possible to say whether this medication are appropriate for him or not. I'm not sure if he has been seen by a doctor and then prescribed this medication. If not, please take him to a psychiatrist for a detailed evaluation and further treatment. Wish you all the best.

I have been diagnosed with degenerative disc disease. I am 66 yrs old, physically active, working as an RN. I have experienced back issues for years and am under the care of a Chiropractor. This week, XRays revealed above dx. Was told I had the spine of a 90 yr old and needed to be careful. Shocking as well as frightening. Looking at the reviews of Instaflex , and pondering the validity of the claims. Thanks so much,

Hello, Thanks for your query. It seems you are suffering from degenerative disc disease & it occurs due to repetitive overload or stress to the disc & it increases the risk of disc herniation & spinal canal stenosis. The main treatment of such pain is bed rest along with painkillers and muscle relaxants. Muscle relaxants can help with your symptoms if used in appropriate dosage in combination with a potent analgesic. You can get the appropriate Chat Doctor. Meanwhile, you can follow these measures:- If the pain is severe, you need bed rest till the pain resolves. - Get some analgesics prescribed and apply analgesic spray or ointments.- While resting, keep a pillow under your knees if it doesn't bother you.- Avoid lifting heavy objects.- Back strengthening exercises and stretching exercises daily as advised by a Physiotherapist.- Avoid exercises in times of pain. - Improvise your posture while sitting.- Using an LS contour belt of appropriate size might be helpful in providing support to back muscles. Also, maintain a proper posture while working, sitting and standing. Keep your back straight. Physiotherapy plays a major role in treating such conditions. I do hope that you have found something helpful, and I will be glad to answer any further query. Take care

hello.. Im wondering if there is a difference between a torn disk, herniated disc, bulging disc. are they different or basically mean the same thing.. ? a mri has shown 2 tears with mild bulging in my l5 s1 disc and herniation in l4 l5? what should I expect from this? I have already had surgery on l5 s1 in 2009. just wondering if I will need another surgery for this?
|
Hi the various conditions you have described as torn disk, herniated disc, bulging disc. Are stages of the same processes. First annular ligament is torn and a part of disc bulges out, then it goes beyond the boundary of disc into neural space(herniation). Only these conditions don't determine whether you need to be operated or treated conservatively. Majority of disc diseases do not need operation. I suggest you take painkillers, muscle relaxants and physiotherapy, and if there is no relief then go for orthopedic consultation.

Hello, my dad has eosinophilia and for the last few months, right before bed, starts acting extremely strange, he forgets that his sons are home and I guess he just acts like a zombie, very strange. He also sometimes gets dizzy, sweats, nausea, and pain in different spots, including minor chest pain. Could any of these symptoms be caused by eosinophilia?
|
Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. Her forgetfulness is not due to eosinophilic. Dizziness or sweating are also not related. He should search the cause of eosinophilic. Asthma, allergy, hypersensitivity, parasitic infection etc. can lead eosinophilic. Investigate for the cause and start 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 am a gay man and have noticed that when ejaculate my semen is clear with a slight brown tinge to it ..this been happening now for the last couple of weeks..I am now experiencing a pain in my scrotum ..i had an ultra sound a week ago and was found to be clear of anything.. i am also experiencing a slight burn sensation when i pee..
|
Good Day, and thank you for being with Chat Doctor ! I would suggest doing an urinalysis to check for infection. A semen analysis with culture would also help determine if there is an infection. Most common cause of brownish discoloration of the semen is still blood brought about by inflammation and rigorous sexual activity. Pain in the testis could be inflammation also from trauma and will resolve with rest and adequate pain relievers. I hope I have succeeded in providing the information you were looking for. Please feel free to write back to me for any further clarifications at: http://www.ChatDoctor .com/doctors/ Chat Doctor. Best wishes.

Hi.the best diary product which you can add in his diet is ghee. Add 1tbsp of ghee twice daily in his meal. Adding ghee is sufficient in giving energy and calories. Add one egg daily with 2 glasses of milk. Thank you

Hello. Thanks for writing to us. The delay in your periods could be due to pregnancy or POD. It is not related to the epidural steroid injection that you had earlier. You can get a urine test done to find out the pregnancy. I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.

I have had sore throat since last Monday, I have trouble breathing since Tuesday morning. Saw doctor that evening and he said i have throat and lung infection and gave me antibiotics. Today is Sunday and I am still coughing, no more runny nose, at times I cough out pleghm with blood and I notice a tiny black dot on my throat and 2 white spots (look like ulcer) inner throat near tonsil. What could this mean?
|
Hello dear, thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your situation and problem. You are having hemoptysis (blood in sputum). And it is seen in following conditions. 1. Tuberculosis2. Pneumonia3. Bronchitis4. Lung cancer etc. So better to get done1. Chest x-ray. 2. PUT (pulmonary function test). 3. CT thorax if required. Chest x-ray and CT thorax are needed to rule out tuberculosis, pneumonia and lung cancer. PFT is needed to rule out bronchitis. So better to first diagnose yourself and then start appropriate treatment.

My 61 yr old daughter was recently diagnosed with Stomach cancer. Surgery was performed, and she had her first Chemo treatment this past week. The surgery went well, but, there was one small area that the doctor was unable to reach. Her next treatment is in 3 weeks. I read an article which claimed that H86 was having good results and with no side effects. Is this an accurate account?
|
The only treatment for carcinoma stomach after surgery is chemotherapy, that is 5Fluorouracil based, and radiotherapy. No other therapies are approved.

Hi, I guess your concern is about getting pregnant, naturally without IVF, at the age of 42 years. You have mentioned that you are taking medicine - M2 tone for regularization of menses. The dose and since when you have started taking the medicine is not shared by you. After taking the medicines whether the menses have become regular or not, it is also not shared by you. It is natures rule, as we get older the functions of our body will be decreased quantitatively and qualitatively. The ovaries also decrease in its function as women become old. The reproductive age group, that is maximum chances of conceiving is more usually at 20 to 40 years. Around the age of 50 to 52 years, women stop her menses. This indicates she can't conceive anymore. The age 45-48 years is a transition zone from highly reproductive age group to the age group where menses stop. And here the chances of getting pregnant are not as high as reproductive age group and not low as 50- 52 yrs of age. But still there are a chances of getting pregnant in this transition age, and you are at 42, so there is a hope of getting pregnant. Be positive and don't lose hope. However, irregular menses at this age decreases the chances of pregnancy. But, as you are on medicine for irregular menses, once the menses becomes regular, the chances of getting pregnancy increases. So there is double positive hope for you. Some people thought they are in reproductive age group, because of problem, either in husband and wife, chances of getting pregnancy decreases. You have told that MY AND MY HUSBAND REPORTS ARE FINE. So there is triple positive hope. As you have lost your first child, and you are at the transition zone, it's better to go for an accelerated method of pregnancy. The accelerated methods are-IVF, GIFT, GIFT, CSI. The advantage of accelerated methods is getting twins of triplets is also there. My suggestions:1. Have patience. Wait till the menses becomes regular. Then pray to God for natural method of getting pregnant.2. At the age of 42, transition zone I would recommend u for accelerated methods - assisted reproductive techniques (ART) - IVF, GIFT, GIFT, CSI and to visit nearby infertility specialist to know pros n cons of each. I pray God to give strength to your family about the loss of first child and bless you with a cute and healthy baby as soon as possible. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Is there any evidence , of any sort, that connects pseudocholinesterase deficiency to an inability to process alcohol? or any evidence that suggests pseudocholinesterase deficiency could amplify the effects of alcohol on the liver? I have a relative that has liver cirrhosis and claims that she was told that her pseudocholinesterase deficiency accelerated her liver problems as it caused her to not be able to process alcohol as well. I have not been allowed to talk to her doctor, but all the research I have seen on pseudocholinesterase deficiency says that it only effects the bodies ability to deal with specific drugs in anestecis. Just trying to figure out the truth.

HIT hank for asking to ChatDoctorI really appreciate your concern if this is the case of liver cirrhosis then here truth is this that alcohol has done the job and the degenerative process have been started there now if the deficiency of pseudo cholinesterase if taken into consideration then this is of no value or does not prove anything or it won't help the patient in the prognosis, hope this information helps you have nice day.

Hi, I am 22- years-old. I feel tingling around my neck and at the back of my head;whenever I take a deep breathe my upper back makes cracking sounds , and sometimes I sense a slight pressure and wierd sound inside my nostrils, unlike that of a common cold or a flu ; and it is very discomforting-specially on morning. it started around 2 months ago, and it is getting worse everyday and I am having more and more difficulty concentrating almost on everything. I was thinking to see a doctor but I was not feeling any pain other than the discomfort, so I decided to wait. Could these be early signs of a serious problem?
|
Hello! Regarding your concern, I would explain that your symptoms could be related to a sinus infection. For this reason, I recommend consulting with an ENT specialist for a physical exam, a cervical spine X-ray study, a sinus X-ray study and some blood lab tests (complete blood count, PCR, ESR for inflammation). Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dear Doctor,I had a tooth extracted some 4 days ago and was given megamox 1g (taken every 12 hours) together with metronidazole 200mg (taken 3 times daily) both after meals. It should be taken for one week. I mentioned to him Im taking daily losartan 50mg and metformin 500mg. I noticed dark green stools. My stools are soft but not loose. I went to the dentist and told him about it but he said its because of the antibiotics. I didnt feel any weakness, pain - just normal. Can you give me a piece of your opinion sir? Thank you very much. Gabby

Hello and welcome. Yes your dentist has suggested you correct reason for having loose stools and also change in color. Once your course of antibiotic is completed you will be fine. Any further persistence of symptoms should definitely worry you else do not worry. Thanks. Take care.

My friend in London has been to every doctor there and still has such painful stomach problems she believes to be caused by parasites. She asked me to find out if there is a doctor here in the U.S. That specializes in this area that will do telephone consultation. She traveled extensively, is in so much pain she wants to die.

Hi. Thanks for your query and concern for your friend in London. Your history says that she had been to every Doctor there, has painful stomach problems. What she believes like having parasites may not be tried, and can be diagnosed and treated well. This is a treatable problem and once you get rid of the parasites, the pain should have been well controlled. The main issue is the pain in abdomen not getting OK in spite of visits to May Doctors suggest me the most probable cause as IBS, the Irritable Bowel Syn Chat Doctor. Yes, she can consult the Gastroenterologist in U.S. Second opinion of a Gynecologist to be sought after just to rule out any problems related to it. I hope this should solve her problems.

i have swollen ankle, discoloration of the leg, above the swollen ankle for 6inches, the area of skin has turned black almost a band around the entire leg,above that the entire right leg is swollen and painful.I was advised to take motrin for the swelling. i have taken ibuprofen and the pain has eased. i am a black man in my mid 50es. what the cause.
|
Hi, thank-you for providing the brief history of you. As there is no mention the mechanism of injury in the history it appears more of the systemic issue and needs a thorough clinical assessment. As you are 50 years old this could be degenerative changes happening in the body. This is a normal human physiological process. Also, checking the kidney function test and vascular insufficiency will make understand the cause of the discoloration of the skin and swelling. The swelling without any Injury can occur due to two factors like kidney issue or the vascular insufficiency. Kidney function Test and Doppler scan Will help understand the possible causes and treatment will be guided accordingly. Regards Jay In Chat Doctor.

My 14 year old son has been suffering from severe headaches since Sept 27th (2-1/2 months). He has had a Cat Scan (which showed sweeling of the 4th ventricle), which led to an MRI. The neuro surgeon who read the MRI said it was of no concern and not related to the headaches. (Said it was just a mega cistern magma.) He was prescribed Endomethicin (which did nothing) and was then switched to a once daily antihistamine, diet restrictions, and physical therapy for range of motion issues with his neck. At several appointments he and I have pointed out that there is a fatty area at the base of his right rib cage (he is very thin) that causes pain when he runs. We were told it was nothing . His PT has indicated that there is a mass of (hopefully muscle) at the right base of his scull that does not respond to manipulation and therapy. He now has extreme pain both in his head and in his chest. Everything I find on line points to firbous tumors. What advice would you have for pinting his physicians in a new direction?

Hello, I passed carefully through your question and would explain that biopsy of these lesions is necessary in order to determine its nature and origin. You should discuss with his doctor on this test. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care

Does dayquill affect sperm when trying to conceive? I am not taking it just in case I am pregnant, but my husband would like to. On a related note, it is problematic to try to conceive when we are both sick? I am ovulating soon and would hate to miss a month of trying. Thank you.

Hi there is no effect of day quill on sperms and on conceiving. You can take the medicines and can try also. Don't worry it will not affect the chances of pregnancy. Also, if you and your husband both are having cold and cough it will also not cause any difference in getting pregnant. You can try for pregnancy. Hope I have answered your question.

Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Read your query. The symptoms you have mentioned in the query, suggests the non-healing of the tooth socket and also there is a formation of abscess which is causing you the pain and difficulty in opening the mouth. I would advise you to visit your dentist so that he will have a look at it and if there is an abscess he can do the required treatment to induce the healing of the socket.Additionally, you will require antibiotic like amoxicillin three times a day and metro tablets, ibuprofen (if you are not allergic to any medication). Warm saline gargling will be of major help to you. Maintain a good oral hygiene and avoid vigorous gargling. Hope this was helpful. Thanks and regards.

Hello, The child may refuse to eat during coughing and cold due to the simple nose block. When there is a fever, appetite can go down naturally. You just need to HY Chat Doctor. If your child is active and playing well, no need to worry. He may start feeding, once cough and cold settles.

DearWelcome to ChatDoctorWe understand your concerns went through your details. From the look and feel of the symptoms, it seems that, last night you had nocturnal panic attack. The cause most probably could be your stress. Try to recollect, were you stressed in the near past or are you doing something (job or burden) which continuously stresses you? Also recollect whether you had any abdominal or digestion problems or disorders on these days. It is quite natural, after panic attack, the symptoms do wander around. In any case, you should consult a physician for an investigation and further advise. If you still need my assistance in this regard, please use this link. http://goo.gl/aYW2pR. Please remember to describe the whole problem with full detail. Hope this answers your query. Please feel free to post follow-up queries. Available for further clarifications. Good luck. Take care.

Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor, I understand your concern regarding your skin problem and I hope I am able to help you in the same. Your child seems to have developed Tina wapitis which is a fungal infection of the hair which occurs mostly in young child Chat Doctor. The most important part of its treatment is the intake of oral antifungals which your child will start taking in few days. For the associated pain, you can give a simple painkiller like paracetamol in the right dose which is determined by her weight. Maintain proper hygiene of the surrounding hair also. Avoid use of hair oil. Wash the hair properly. This problem might take at least three to six weeks to completely heal. Thank you.
