My 8yo son has several bruises over his body after attending rugby league training - there is dark red, purplish coloured bruise with a white centre on the inside of this leg in line with his knee cap. This bruise would measure approx 6 to 8 cms in length and has become increasingly worse over the past 2 days. In addition, he has smaller spot like bruises down the same leg as well as bruising on his chest and shoulder. He has always bruised easily but is this normal?
The bruises depend on the kind of injury. You should get a thorough blood profile done for bleeding and clotting time and coagulation profile since the injury seems to be lesser than the severity of bruises u just explained.
If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patient's description.

I have been having heart palpitations for about six weeks. It started only when I layed down but now it happens more often. I do not smoke drink or even drink caffeine. It agrivates my gerd. I am 41 weigh 169 and am 6 1. My biological died of cardiopathy in his early 40 s. Most of what I read says not to worry but should I?
Hello, Herd is a common problem and It's rarely also related to heart disease. Most of the time, there is no need to worry. However, since you have a history of heart diseases, it's better to get ECG done and stress test like treadmill test which will rule out your concern. For Herd, you should avoid fatty, oily and spicy 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. Elevate head end of the bed or use pillows during sleep or rest. You can get prescribed tab Pan DSR 40 mg or omeprazole risperidone combination before breakfast once a day for 2 weeks. If not adequately relieved, then you should add SYR sacral O or genus two teaspoon three times a day for a week. Hope this helps you and get back if you have any doubts.

My 3 year old son had a basic allergen profile blood test. It showed low allergy to milk and undetermined allergy to egg whites and wheat. Doc will not refer him to an allergist for further testing. He just wants us to try an elimination diet for a few weeks. His only symptoms that we noticed are a rash (keratosis pilaris) and a runny nose. The allergen profile only tests for a few things. Should we insist on seeing an allergist?
Hello, If symptoms of allergy like a rash or runny nose improve after eliminating egg or milk, then probably you don't need to go for further testing. More than food other allergens like pollen, dust, mites, artificial flavors in candies, chocolates, juices, etcetera, can cause allergy. If symptoms are not improving, you need to go to an immunologist. In the meantime, you may have antihistamines medicine for symptom relief. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Hi, I am twenty five years old. I would like to have a German Sheperd but I hear they trigger allergy and asthma problems. I never had asthma previously, I used to have a Rotweiler earlier. I dont like when dogs lick on my feat and I dont feel that good when I spend that good when I spent too much time with them. Now I have a local breed. Could anyone please advice.
HI, thanks for using Chat Doctor Because of the thick fur, it is possible that owning one of these dogs may trigger an allergic response. You may want to consider visiting a friend with such a dog or going to a shelter and see if interaction does cause any problem. I hope this helps

I am worried about adult fungal infection transmitted to my future newborn baby. I have 2 sisters who will be helping to take care of the baby during my confinement, however, both of them are suffering from fungal infections for more than 12 months. The younger sister, the skin on her forehead was very dark, but now it has lightened up, however, there s a new infection on her knee. The infection gives light itches. The older sister is also suffering from something similiar, in between her neck and shoulder. I was also suffering from redness on my scalp which causes itchiness. I was prescribed a shampoo, the redness is gone, however the itchiness is still there and my hair now easily falls everywhere, even when I comb and especially when I shampoo, my hand will be filled with hair. I ve stopped using the prescribed shampoo and use an over the counter anti fungal cream, it reduced the itchiness, but I am still suffering from hair loss. My concern is whether all the skin problems could be transmitted to the baby; and what are the effects.
These Chat Doctor. Fungal infection also cannot transfer to baby in uteri but after delivery your baby is at risk of getting infection.

Hi,I am 31 year old and have 2 year old son. I was expecting my second baby in this june. Pregnancy went well till 38.4 weeks with all reports being normal. I do not have blood pressure or diabetes or any other health problems. Pregnancy went normal without any events. On 5th I did scan and babies weight was 3.0. Doctor asked us to take c-section date and we choose 14th june. Tuesday on 8th, I was feeling extremely tired and had cramps in my legs. I also was feeling less baby movements. I went to doctor and they checked heartbeats. It was 148. So, they told us baby is fine and come for final checkup on 11th. I went on 11th and doctor couldnt find babies heartbeats. What could be the reason for this? I had to take out still born child immediately with second c-section. Is it okay to try conceiving for second baby now? I had one cycle of my menstrual period in August. What kind of care should I take and what are the chances of getting similar even repeated? Doctor told me that there was blood clot in umbilical cord and so babies heartbeat stopped suddenly.Cheers,Shweta
Hello, I am very sorry for what you had to go through. Since you had a cesarean section just a couple of months ago, I would ask you to wait for a year before planning another pregnancy. This helps you to recoup, and the wound also heals in the meantime. The cause of the fetal demise is not a recurrent one. It calls for extra care during your next pregnancy in fetal monitoring. Please have a healthy diet and adequate rest. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

my 11 month old daughter has over the last 3 weeks got a large smooth non tender liver, her abdomen is distorted by it.She is otherwise well except over last few days she occasionally appears to posset some food again. She was given azithromycin for a presumed mycoplasma infection for 2 months atopped in may and had a tonsillitis in may with high fevers for 10 days. At present she is well but this mass is very concerning. We are seeing a paediatrician soon do you have any thoughts.
In infancy liver is normally palpable. Its pathological only if the liver span or its actual size is increased. As u said cytoplasm infection which can cause respiratory symptoms can cause pushed down liver which can be why it's palpable. So unless there is visible jaundice or high colored stools or clay stools you need not worry. Repeated vomiting and loss of appetite can be symptoms of hepatitis. I would suggest an ultrasound abdomen and liver function tests to rule out liver pathology

I have been using the treadmil for years now, the last week i have noticed the longer i stand or put any pressure on my right leg a small lump appears on my lower leg 4-5 inches above my ankle. It is squishy but does not hurt and is very noticeable. Is this something to worry about?
Hi, Dear,Thanks for your query to Chat Doctor. I studied and understood your query details. Based on the facts of your query, In My opinion you seem to suffer from CUES(Chronic Compartment Exertional Syn Chat Doctor. this lump is due to the Incompetent Perforator Vein, which pops out form the leg fascia-when the right leg is pressed or stressed or put to strain. You don't have to worry as being benign and Venous lump and as it is non-cancerous Lump. Color Doppler study of the leg veins would fix the diagnosis. Hope this reply would help you to resolve your Anxiety. ThnksGood Day!!

I am 73 yrs. old 250 lbs.. I have a small lump about the size of a ball (about half the size of a table tennis ball) on the outside of the left knee area, [Total Knee 2004]. It has grown in about 2 months It is hard and somewhat painful when touched, difficult to walk 200 yards or so. Orthopedic Surgeon opened the area, 4" incision and said, " I have not seen anything like this in all my years!" It was like a jell substance 3 colors orange,tan,red, all the way to the bone and no idea where it originated from! Altar Sound showed a solid Cyst. He removed what he could and stitched me up. This had all been sent to the lab, all negative for Cancer, Disease, and Infection! I still have a bulge on side of knee. It is still painful to walk any distance. He has me in therapy 2 weeks now, not much help also wearing a Knee brace. Therapist tested for strength which was very good.I was in DaNang, Vietnam, Agent Orange in 1963. I had Prostate Cancer, Gleason Score 8 Radical removed April 2010 3 Month later PSA 1.8 high risk fast growing, had 36 Radical Treatments Radiation. Could some of my problems be related to Agent Orange or another type of Virus? Help!!

For the past 3 months I have had pain in my upper abdominal. I have been throwing up for the past 3 months on and off but recently it has become every day. My throw up is not food, but instead bile ( of white or clear at times). I have not been feeling like myself. Recently I have started juicing and even that is making me feel sick an hour or two after I have it Do you know what that could be?
HI. Vomiting of the bile and or clear (gastric) fluid indicate that you may have HERD, = gastroesophageal -reflux -disease. Or an obstruction in the small intestines. Your history is so long - 3 months. You should have got the investigated done long ago. I would advise you to take a consultation of a Gastroenterologist and undergo upper GI endoscopy, Barium studies if required. This will give the diagnosis and a guideline for a proper treatment is possible only then.

My HSG report post ectopic pregnancy: "Fallopian tube is visualized on the right side without peritoneal spill of contrast, s/o block at fimbrial end. Left fallopian tube is outlined in its proximal extent. Venous extravasation of contrast is noted without peritoneal spill". My question is, how can this be treated so that normal conception can take place.
Hi, If milking was done to treat the prior ectopic pregnancy, chances of retaining tubal function are very good. Laparoscopic release of any adhesions and restoration of the patency of the tubes can be done. Natural conception can then be tried, but with caution in view of the past history and the tubal blocks that developed. Tubal reconstructive surgery under skilled hands may be needed when there is damage to part of the tube. Hope you find this information useful. Wish you good health.

Hello sir. Having sex that too unprotected, with many is hazardous and is associated with development of STDs. So may be in your case. Better do visit a skin specialist, get yourself examined and then take precise treatment as suggested by the doctor. Self treatment is always dangerous

Hi there, I have just discovered a small lump on the rear base of my mouth, under my tongue but close to the molar. I had a wisdom tooth removed on that side approx 4 months ago and it seemed to heal well. I have also had some minor muscle-like pain in my throat over the last few weeks extending into my collar bone,but this is something Ive felt in the past. I am 28 yo, dont smoke and rarely drink. I look forward to hearing from you.
Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor. That could be a retention cyst from a minor salivary gland in that region or could even be a manual. These are all benign swellings. But it will need a clinical examination for confirmation of the diagnosis and its subsequent management.

the left kidney was located in the left inferior flank region and has a dilated pelvis and proximal hydroureter measuring up to 9mm. the left kidney measures 37mm.the right kidney measures 35mm and is unremarkable .this is ultrasound report of 32.2 weeks and 2 days at last the comment is there is a left pelvic kidney with pelvicalyceal and uretreric dilation. i want to know is there is any thing serious? what does it exactly mean?
Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor, The ultrasound report suggests that there is dilatation of the left pelvis and left ureter. Dilatation of pelvi-calyceal system is seen in case of obstruction at level below the region of dilatation. The most common cause of obstruction is kidney stones. Other common causes include an intramural mass or an extra-mural mass compressing the ureter. Further investigations are required to find out the cause of obstruction. Consult a surgeon or a urologist for relevant investigations and further management. Thanks and take care Chat Doctor.

yesterday night at 1:30 i got bitten by a rat to my left ear which was bleeding for a while .. is it a serious thing? is it necessary to take treatment for that? if so what treatment do u suggest and its please specify its expenses..am a banglore resident near Kundahalli..
HiT hank you for asking Chat Doctor. I have gone through your query. Rat bite can cause bacterial infections. So it should be washed thoroughly with soap and water and apply antiseptics. Tetanus prophylaxis should be taken. Antibiotics will be needed also. This treatment you can get in government hospital for free in Bangalore. In private hospital also the whole treatment will be within 500 rupees. Antirabies prophylaxis is not given for small rats. Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything is not clear. Thanks.

my husband recently had a SA done and found that his WBC was high. He was on antibiotics for 28 days. He went in for another SA and the results came back in exactly the same! His WBC was still high. How the heck does that happen? What other treatments can be offered to him?
Hi, your high WBC count may be due to many reasons. And treatment depends on which cells are high. You may have neutrophil or lymphocytes, or eosinophilic leukocytosis. Treatment depends on that and the cause. You need to search for the cause SND then take treatment accordingly. Thanks for using Chat Doctor.

When I stretch sometimes it can relieve but not so often it s really bad pain and I need to know what it is exactly is there a cute please help me.
Hi. The most important thing is to get an exact diagnosis by means of a clinical/ physical examination by a Doctor, ultrasonography and blood tests for liver function tests, amylase, lipase, WBC, and X-ray of the chest as per the symptoms you have put down above. Once a proper diagnosis is made, you can go ahead with a definitive treatment too. This is most probably due to :Inflamed gall bladder;Liver abscess, Lower lung or pleura problem, Medicine is an evidence based practice and stop following your family and friends and rush to ER ASAP.

I have two problems that have cropped up within the last month. First a small lump showed up under my left arm, then it went away, the next day it came back and went away. then it came back got large and hasnt left for a month now. Its painfull on and off and and is now interfering with my arm movement. everything I try on it seems to reduce the size, but usually overnight it gets big again. help! Second thing is I lifted something 3 days ago and twisted on my left leg while doing so and I have had trouble doing anything since. Help!
Hello rearward welcome to Chat Doctor.come have evaluated your query in details .* Left arm lump seems to be sebaceous cyst, lipoma or other soft tissue lesion. While primary relief can be with analgesic tablets, must get final diagnosis with examination by consultant surgeon.* Leg pain is in concern with ligament sprain or muscle stretch, local application of heating pad, analgesic tablets will take care of it. Hope this will help you for sure . Wishing you fine recovery. Welcome for any further guidance. Regards .

Ive been having a lot of discomfort on my left side, at the lower back level. Have thought all day its a muscle on my left side, but dont remember doing anything to putt a muscle there. My stomach feels swollen, but no sensitivity or hurting, just diarrhea. Just normal urination, again with no pain. The only pain is in that muscle.
Hi there. The symptoms you have mentioned do correlate to a muscular pain. Muscle soreness of such sorts can sometimes happen without us recalling of any stress or injury. It could happen due to a bad posture or mild twist. Secondly, and more unlikely, it could be due to referred pain from your stomach problem. Take reshot fomentation to the partially local diclofenac gel Analgesic like etoricoxib which is safe during upset stomach. Abstain from strenuous activities. Consult a astrophysical for the stomach problem who might get an ultrasound abdomen done. Proceed according to the reports. I hope my advice has helped. Good luck.

I just received an Mri that says L5-S1 circumferential disc bulge with a broad based posterior disc protrusion eccentric to the left. There is flattening of the ventral the album sac, there is no central canal stenosis, disc material is in close proximity to the descending S1 nerve roots. There is mild degenerative hyper trophy.
Go swimming, keep a good strength of your lumbar muscles. When you got inflamed, take NSAIDs or steroids for a whole as your family doctor will suggest. Lumbar or thesis will aid in the acute phase

For about 4 days I have been having lower back pain and also pain on my lower left side. Also dizzyness and headaches which I never get. I had a hard time walking and getting up last night not as bad today I have been taking ibprofen to day some comfort not much.
Dear patient This may be Muscle spasm or back sprain. Have you injured your back recently or lifted heavy weight? Both may be reason for sprain. I would advise X-ray of lumbosacral spine anteroposterior and lateral views to rule out bony abnormalities. If its normal start tab diclofenac plus thiocolchicoside combination twice a day and tab attract p one at bedtime for 7 days. Apply nice gel locally at site of pain thrice a day. If X-ray report is abnormal need to consult expert orthopedic surgeon.

Hello, As I went through the history I could figure out that you have too much of gluteus muscle weakness. Off late losing the fat tissue from the hip muscles is common in most people having a desk job. Noticing every other individual losing fat tissue from the muscle has become common. This issue leads to instability in the lumbar spine and also high pressure over the coccyx region. You can definitely have medicines like ibuprofen or attract. But over the long run, you need to strengthen the hip muscles and the core muscle to stop recurring the symptoms. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Hello, I have recently over the past year developed what I thought were pimples on my abdomen but they differ, it seems some grow to large size and one was in the crack of my anus, but I am not sure what it is. A doctor told me I may have some form of hair follicle illness or ailment and gave me medication however whenever I take a pill I always have the need to belch or burp afterwards and the aftertaste is just awful. What do you think these things are? I have popped it before and both puss and blood exploded from the wound, It hurt to touch and even more to pop. I hope you can help me out with this problem.
Hi. Since you have a problem of more than a year it will be wise to get all the relevant blood tests done including blood sugar. I would also advise such a patient to surgically remove the disease and subject the specimen for biopsy as it may come up with a proper diagnosis, as the abscess does not last this long. Pus culture and sensitivity will guide for the best possible medicines and go for injectable form of antibiotics to avoid the taste problem.

HI MY NAME IS DEBBIE I FELL ON A WET FLR. AUG 8-10 HURTING MY RT HAND,LT , LT KNEE XAYS SAID I HAVE A VERY BAD SPRAINS, I HAD HERNIA SURG 6-10-10 AND MY STOMACH HAS BEEN RELLY HURTTING THAT NIGHT OF THE FALL COLUD I HURT THE MESH IN ME OR THE HERNIA?
Hi Debbie. Thanks for your query. Read and understood your problem. On felling the muscles of the abdomen also go into sprain and spasm, stretching over the fibrous tissues around the hernia repair and the mesh. It is likely to get healed well provided you take proper treatment. The right hand and left knee will also heal well as there is no fracture on them. I would suggest you the following:Strict bed rest-this is the most sure shot way for early recovery. A course of an anti-inflammatory medicines like Ibuprofen in proper full dosages as per your body weight and after full stomach. You will be fine soon.

three weeks ago I had a bad toothache, took a 500mg of amoxicillin cap for 8 days, now I have had this bad taste in my mouth for three days. I feel shortness of the breath for about 20 minutes at night around the same time, and now as each passing day Im getting nausea. Should I be worried?
Hello, Thank you for consulting with Chat Doctor. As you are mentioning that you took 500 mg of amoxicillin three weeks ago, and now you are experiencing bad taste, it looks that it can be because of antibiotic only. Actually antibiotics causes alteration in taste, but it is not so extended. But other symptoms like nausea and shortness of breath are not associated with this. Better that once you should visit your general physician for complete examination of the condition done. Hope it will help you

I have been having tingling in the right side of my back for over a month, and for the past 3 weeks some back pain as well. A lump was discovered in the area as well. Dr. suspected it was a lymphoma. they tried doing a biopsy but was not successful. They decided to have an MRI. Results showed normal . Dr. recommended physical therapy. while waiting for the result i was given a muscle relaxer to take and took 600 mg of Advil for 5 days. still have tinglings and pain.I am a 22 year old female.
Respected user, Welcome to Chat Doctor.come have gone through your concern in depth.* This seems neurological compression of the underlying nerve structures through lipoma.* If confirmed clinically and investigations wise, excision of the lump is the curative treatment. Hope this clears your query. Wishing you fine recovery . Regards.

Since July 2011 I have been experiencing severe cramping symptoms in the lower right abdomen. These attacks come at least once a month, most recently 10 days apart and can last three hours in duration. Sometimes I can see a bulge in my lower right groin. Taking a 5 mg valium and 5mg oxycodone can help stop the attack. I am 60 years old and have had a gynocological ultrasound but nothing was found. What;s going on?Sharon
HI Sharon ! From the history of a bulge in your lower right groin, the first diagnosis one can think of is a possibility of Right Inguinal Hernia in its initial stages which gives rise to pain. This will occur whenever you go for a heavy activity which increases the intro abdominal pressure. Apart from this there could be a separate intro abdominal pathology altogether. If it is a grumbling appendix, then the ultrasound may not show anything positive. A urinary tract infection or an infection of the pelvic organs can also give rise to such symptoms and your doctor may advise you for a routine urine test and a clinical pelvic examination to exclude the same. Do you frequently eat outside specially junk foods ? In that case one has to exclude intestinal infection specially amoebas. I am not sure to which region you belong to. One has to exclude chronic granulators infection of the intestines in people who live in endemic areas where such infections are common. Your family physician can investigate you to exclude this kind of infection. Wish you an early recovery.

Hi I have A SWOLLEN BUMP/LUMP THAT IS LOCATED IN THE TOP PART OF MY BUTT(IN THE CRACK) IT COMES AN GOES ALOT AN IT HURTS WHEN I SIT OR BEND OVER. I USE TO GET SPINAL TAPS ALOT I HAVENT HAD ONE OF THOSE IN OVER A YEAR. WHAT COULD IT BE AND WHAT SHOULD I DO/
Hi, thanks for sharing your health concerns with Chat Doctor! If I were your treating Doctor for this case of butt-crack lump, I would come up with only one and one possibility that is a sebaceous cyst! Nothing to worry about this and try not to get infected there! However, it could be some benign tumor like neurofibroma or lipoma like conditions also! I suggest you to go for an FNAC test of the lump for confirmation and to relieve your concerns! Hope this answers your question.

### INSTRUCTION: If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. ### Question: Hi I have A SWOLLEN BUMP/LUMP THAT IS LOCATED IN THE TOP PART OF MY BUTT(IN THE CRACK) IT COMES AN GOES ALOT AN IT HURTS WHEN I SIT OR BEND OVER. I USE TO GET SPINAL TAPS ALOT I HAVENT HAD ONE OF THOSE IN OVER A YEAR. WHAT COULD IT BE AND WHAT SHOULD I DO/ ### Answer: Hi, thanks for sharing your health concerns with Chat Doctor! If I were your treating Doctor for this case of butt-crack lump, I would come up with only one and one possibility that is a sebaceous cyst! Nothing to worry about this and try not to get infected there! However, it could be some benign tumor like neurofibroma or lipoma like conditions also! I suggest you to go for an FNAC test of the lump for confirmation and to relieve your concerns! Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow-up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions. Wishing you good health.
My son went to the dr. had a strep test and flu test both negative was told it was a cold virus. He has fever almost 104, headaches, body aches, puss on back of throat, sore throat, nausea. another dr said it could be strep and gave him antibiotics he does seem better but, says that he still feels funny and he is still running fever
Hithanks for using ChatDoctorthis looks like he is suffering from viral infection anyways antibiotic one course can help to reduce the secondary infection viral infections can cause a lot of immunosuppression, during their course, but most of them are self limiting from duration of 2 to 3 weeks maintain good HY Chat Doctor. Take care

As you are suffering from pod. As it's a hormonal imbalance, Increase an Chat Doctor. There are some lab tests for diagnosis of pod Like LH/FSH ratio, sugar level, ultrasound. As in pod many small cysts/ follicles develop, so no follicle develops up to the mark that can Rupture or ovulate, so one may have trouble in conceiving. Pcod can be treated with medicines. Treatment includes metformin, contraceptive pills these all help in regularize the cycle. And you can conceive.

I am 67 years old and recently had approximately 5-7 days of vaginal bleeding. It stopped and I went to an OBGYN for a ultrasound. Her nurse said although noted as rather normal scan my endometrial thickness was 8mm. What home remedies should i take to prevent endometrial cancer?
Hi, Thanks for writing in. The inner lining of uterus is called endometrium. At 67 years age, you might be having an overactive endometrium. The endometrium is shed during the periods in women of the reproductive age group. At your age, it is important to get an endometrial biopsy if your gynecologist has advised one. Hormonal changes can cause vaginal bleeding in elderly women but if you had a continuous bleeding for 5 to 7 days then it is a concern for endometrial polyp or cancer. Since no large polyp is seen, it can also be that the endometrium is altered due to many reasons. Early stages of cancer cannot be seen on ultrasound. I suggest you also get an MRI scan of your pelvis with the recommendation of your doctor and then do endometrial biopsy. If the biopsy results are negative for malignancy then benign causes must be thought of. If the bleeding repeats frequently then you might require a surgery. There is no home remedy to prevent endometrial cancer. Please do not worry.

Hi. My boyfriend put his penis inside for about 30 seconds or so, just the tip. I was paranoid about pre-cum so I took plan B the next day which was the 9th of July. I got my period on the 15th it was heavy with clots and all which is pretty normal and it ended on the 20th. About 4-5 days after when I wiped there was dark red blood, the next time the blood was brown and then it was a mixture of both on my tampon. Is there a chance I could still be pregnant?
Hello, Since you developed a normal menstrual period lasting for around 6 days after TH unprotected sex, there is practically no chance of pregnancy. As far passing brown and black blood after few of your pregnancy is concerned, it is normal. This blood is the leftover blood from your period and has turned black because of oxidation process. There is nothing to worry and this is no sign of pregnancy as it can not be implantation bleeding since it is occurring 4-5 days after a normal menstrual period. Thanks

I was diagnosed of having tb adenitis by simly having the skin test and the presence of lymphnode in my neck. I had taken treatment for tb for only two months, then i stopoed.i got scared of the drugs.i have had doubts of the diagnosis of my ent doc. I havent gone to other doc yet to have checked. Until now,the hard lymph node in my neck(below the jaw still there) the lumphnode below my ears does not disappeared. My throat not feel ok. Sometimes its hard to breath. Iwant to go to the doctor, whom shld i consult? An internal med doc or the ent? Is this realy a tb adenitis? Is this cancerous? Is there any possibility of lymphoma?thanks
Hi and thank you for choosing Chat Doctor to post your question. I read carefully your question and my opinion is as follows:Tuberculous lymphadenitis presents as a slowly progressive, painless swelling of a single group of lymph nodes more frequently of cervical lymph nodes. Clinical suspicion is important in diagnosing this condition in persons from endemic area of tuberculosis and with positive skin test(PPD test). The cornerstone of treatment remains antitubercular therapy, but response is slower than with pulmonary tuberculosis. A definitive diagnosis can be made by culture or nucleic amplification of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in an affected lymph node. I would recommend excisional biopsy since it has the highest sensitivity, but fine needle aspiration is less invasive and may also be useful, thereby permitting distinction from other causes of lymphadenitis(cancer, lymphoma,infectious etc)I hope my opinion can be helpful. Wish you good health. Kind regards Chat Doctor.

The past couple months Ive been sick. Im 19 years old. The doc said it was a virus...mono/strep came back negative. About a little over a week ago I went back in because nothing has changed, got blood work done..my white count was low-ish and my liver enzymes were high. I had a fever the weekend before I got the blood work done & took tylenol for it. My throat has been sore, coughing, yellow from my nose & sometimes from my throat, my ears have now started hurting...Im on vacation currently. My doctor called today & told me more results came back and I have strep, and other elevations so he wants to see me as soon as I get back. Should I be worried something more serious is wrong? Or is this just a virus?

Age:20, Gender: Male I have had pain for over a month from masturbation. It cannot be an STD and a CT scan returned nothing meaning it cannot be prostatitis... I have had a urine test which returned nothing and had a physical exam for prostatitis which was thought to not be of concern (regarding prostatitits). I did have brown semen once but after a course of antibiotics, that has cleared up. I would often masturbate through abdominal workouts which caused me to have a groin strain. That, however, healed up and following that I would only masturbate the normal way. However, by this time any arousal/ejaculation I would get abdominal pain. Initially the abdominal pain healed up within a week but now has lasted for over a month. I am now refraining from any and all ejaculation/arousal though things don t seem to feel any better. Please let me know what this could possibly be?
Hello, I have gone through your question and I understand your concerns, but this could be due to vasodilator effect of masturbation leading to pelvic venous congestion. I would recommend that you start to decrease the habit of masturbation and try to have sexual intercourse instead. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

My daughter, aged 37,and her husband, aged 41, have been trying to get pregnant for over a year now with no success. My daughter thinks it is because she was on birth control for over fifteen years, but her husband recently had his sperm tested and was told that he has a high percentage of malformed sperm. Also, he smokes, I think the problem is with the sperm. Do you agree?
Thank you for the questions you have rightly mentioned, healthy functional sperms are required for conception. Abstinence from smoking might improve the sperm morphology and increase chances of conception. When a person has the high number of malformed sperms, the chances of conception reduces, but it does not mean that the married couple cannot conceive since it requires one healthy sperm for fertilization with ovum. Consult a fertility specialist who can provide a better insight into the issue and guide you accurately on how your daughter can improve her chances of conception

Brown spots pooping up all over my skin , over night ? Look like moles? Hi there, I am a 29 year old female and I am breaking out in what I think are moles, all over and over night. Everyday I see new spots. I went to my doctor because I was concerned since about 3 weeks ago I started getting tiny red blood spots on my skin also/ these look like a tiny drop of blood under my skin. He did not know what they were and ordered no blood testing. Still concerned I went to the ER and they did blood work which they said was fine. I think a CBC was done. Anyway while looking for the more little red dots everyday I started to notice that I was getting brown spot also. I took pictures of my skin to be sure that I was not imaging things and sure enough each day new spots appeared. I started to remember a funny mole on the bottom of my foot and one in the crack of my butt which I though was a pimple that never went away. Husband said it was a mole. So I go back to the doctor and let him see my pictures and show him the ugly moles/ He was concerned about the one on my back side so sent me to a dermatologist . I was seen there the next day, he looked me over and looked at the one on my butt and foot. He told me the one on my butt needed to be looked at once every six months but other then that I looked good. He did not testing and never offered an explanation on why these spots are coming up, I will admitt I was a bit anxious having looked these up on the internet so maybe he just thought I was being overly concerned I am not sure/ This is really worrying me. I have had a few moles my whole life. Suddenly though I am having an out break of them. I am also having an out break of these raised brown skin things all over my chest . Should I be worrying about this ?
Anyone?? Help please??

My son was diagnosed with mild hydronephrosis on the left kidney since he was in the utero. At 12 month check up we discovered a moderate hydronephrosis. We did mag scans and Vcug tests. No reflux. It is an upj obstruction. not sure if this would be 100precent. Since he was about 5 months he will never pee in his sleep, he will be very upset and fussy during the night and day naps willing to pee but not willing to wake up. Have you ever seen kids with this kind of situation. We have extremely difficult nights. The urologist said it is not related to the kidneys. thanks
Hello, In most cases it will settle by itself. If there is worsening of renal function or increase in size(AP diameter of more than 15 mm), surgical correction may be required.

HelloThanks for writing to ChatDoctorAccording to your USG reports, You have grade 1 fatty liver, and it is due to mild deposition of fat within the liver cells which causes bright echo texture of liver and due to this liver is mildly enlarged in size. It is reversible condition, and it can be reversed by diet modification, medicines and increasing physical activity. You should avoid saturated fat, fried and junk foods. You should also do walking and exercises. You also need few investigations like routine hologram, LFT,Lipid profile, RFT and RBS. Get well soon. Take Care Chat Doctor.

My husband is experiencing severe pain on the left side of his jaw. He said it s not a toothache but it comes and goes. So severe that I took him to the hospital yesterday but they couldn t find anything. He started using sensodyne whitening toothpaste last week , do you think this could be the cause?
Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query. The pain in the jaw can be secondary to wisdom tooth infection, or it can be because of the temporomandibular joint disorders. Nothing to be panic, consult an oral physician and get it evaluated. You need to take radiographs like IOP AR and OPG to confirm the diagnosis. Meanwhile you can take analgesics like diclofenac(if you are not allergic). I hope my answer will help you, take care.
If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patient's description.

I am 61 years, 163 Cm, 70 kg. Angioplasty was done in 2005 and due stent problem again in 2011. I take statins (10 mg once a day) since 2005. It has raised my SGOT to 57 which I know at the moment is not alarming. I think I cannot stop taking statins. Is there a way to decrease my SGOT values or at least arrest to present values?
Hi, got is mildly elevated and needs no intervention. I may be because of fatty liver as well. So get one ultrasound liver done which help to rule out fatty liver. Consume low sugar, fat and oil diet along with regular exercises. Also avoid alcohol if any.Don't worry about got.

Hi my daughter is 4 months old. Since last 10days she is having loose motions. Weve done stool test 5days back & prescribed by a doctor for Zifi100 Dry Syrup. Since last 4days weve fed her with milk food and medicine (Zifi100) as advised by doctor howevr no improvement is observed. Today when i checked Zifi100 on web i realised that it is best remedies for few other disease but not for gastrointestinal infections. Doctor has advised Norflox100 DT as an alternative now, but when i searched this on internet i found that it is not recommended safe for infants. ..the comments on stool test report says shes NUMEROUS INCLUMPS IN MUCUS....Please advise best medicines....QUERY FROM INDIA..
WiFi works well for gastroenteritis when caused by bacterial infection. If the infection is viral which is the most common cause then WiFi itself can cause loose stools. In addition, this baby is most likely having transient lactose intolerance due to viral diarrhea. Please stop the antibiotic and keep the baby on strict breastfeeding. Get stool check done for reducing substances, and if strongly positive, can change milk to a lactose free formula temporarily.

I was diagnosed with Bronchitis 2 months ago. The first series of antibiotics did not kill the virus, so my doctor prescribed a second (stronger) dose. The antibiotics seemed to cure the Bronchitis, but I havent been able to smell or taste since that time.
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Change in taste can be due to antibiotics, but loss of smell perception is not due to antibiotics. Some antibiotics like clindamycin, azithromycin, metronidazole etc. alter the taste of mouth. But no need to worry about this. Once antibiotic is stopped, you will start tasting normally. Loss of perception of smell is mostly due to viral infection. It is due to inflammatory changes in mucosa. No need to worry about this also. This will normalize by itself once your viral fever is treated completely. Hope I have solved your query. Wish you good health. Thanks.

I have a cough which isnt getting worse or better - have had for the past 4 weeks. Little if no phlem .. it is a similar feeling to having breathed in dust & not being able to clear it away - specifically one side my left - no problems sleeping just when I get up until i go to bed
Hi Dear, Welcome to Chat Doctor. Understanding your concern. As per your query you have cough with phlegm which is due to upper respiratory tract infection/ lung infection. Need not worry. I would suggest you to take antibiotics such as Levofloxacin along with cough expectorants. You should take bucolic agent as well. You should consult a Pulmonologist and get evaluated and go for blood tests, throat swab culture and chest x-ray to find out exact diagnosis and start treatment. Furthermore, you should do warm saline gargles and avoid spicy and chilled foods. Furthermore, you should use mist humidifiers in room. Hope your concern has been resolved. Get Well Soon. Best Wishes,

Why do I have uncontrollable gagging? Ive had it for about a year and every morning I wake up, I gag when i brush my teeth, blow my nose, or eat. Im hungry when I wake up and its a pain that I cant eat. The only thing I can do to satisfy my hunger is drink.
Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query. This is a normal defense mechanism that prevents foreign bodies or any irritants from entering trachea. Gagging can be managed by distraction techniques, relaxation, systemic desensitization and sometimes you can also use topical anesthetic to numb that area. Gagging can also be caused by fear, be confident and remove the fear from your mind. I hope my answer will help you take care.

Hi, while at work today, I was sitting in a very low chair (elementary school) & hurt my back. I leaned forward to lift a medium sized Rubbermaid bin filled with wooden blocks, and before I could fully lift it something popped/snapped/pulled in the sacral area of my lower back. It hurts to move, especially going from sitting to standing or vice versa. Also, it feels rather warm to touch but the pain muscular.
Hi, thanks for posting your concern in Chat Doctor. From the history, it seems that you have got traumatic PIED. To rule out, you may need a X-ray LS spine-AP & Lat, and MRI of LS spine done. For pain management, you should have rest for 2 days, stat bolus dose of injectable analgesic (e.g. Diclofenac with Sanitizing) followed by oral analgesic (PCM/ Diclofenac/ PCM+Diclofenac) with some PPI to avoid peptic ulcer, some muscle relaxant (e.g. cyclobenzaprine 15 mg) and ice pack 4 times a day for 1 day. You may need a lumber brace also. All the medication dosage should be according to the age or body weight. Please consult local orthopedic consultant or write back to me with the reports of imaging. Wish you an early recovery.

My daughter is 7 years old. She has a small pimple like skin growth on her chin. We applied raw garlic paste over it for more than one hour. There is a swelling and pain. We removed garlic completely and washed. We apply aloe vera(raw) on the swelling now. The skin looks red and swelling remains. We continued aloe vera overnight. What is the correct treatment and how long will it take to heal perfectly or back to the normal skin? Please advise.
Hi dear welcome to the Chat Doctor, Apply some antibiotic/ antimicrobial cream over the pimple. If the pimple is increasing and is painful then one can take a course of oral antibiotic. Face should be washed repeatedly for the prevention of such pimples. Hope the query is answered. Thanks

The results from the Mri s say there is arthritis on my hip some in my back upper and lower. My doctor does not believe a spine doc could help and only would make a referrel to a rhuemitologist. I have been thinking of going to emerg. I really do not want pain meds, at least some answers or real possibilities.

I woke up today and had 40-50 red spots on my chest - they all appeared overnight. They don t itch and they don t look like acne either. Just odd red spots. I usually do not have acne on my chest either. Male 22. I do heavy lifting in the gym everyday. What could it be? I think it has happened before too.
Hi, this sudden eruption of red spots on chest indicates its allergic origin or traumatic origin. If there is any history of Chat Doctor. You should discontinue

Hi Doctor, I am 25 years old female. I am trying to conceive for last 2 years. I have PCOD problem. 10 months back i was pregnant with the help of ChatDoctor injection. But unfortunately it was got miscarried after 5 weeks. My doctor suggested me to take Duphaston 10mg tablet for day16-day25. My 2 cycles are over after taking this treatment(Feb 2017 & March 2017). But no luck yet. This is my 3rd cycle. I dont have anyother health issue. Is there any possibility to get conceive this month? Why it was not happening with last 2 months?
Hi, I think the main problem in pro patients is non ovulation. So, I think you should take some medicines like camphene for inducing ovulation and track your follicles' growth by repeated ultrasound and when follicle is more than 17 to 18 mm, take injection for rupture of follicles. Be in contact with your husband for 2 to 3 days after the injection. Take progesterone for next 2 weeks after rupture is confirmed on ultrasound Do a urine pregnancy test after that. You can try like that for 3 to 6 cycles. Also get a thyroid profile and prolactin level done. Talk to your doctor regarding this. Hope it helps.

My father is taking 5 MG of finasteride a day-with 50 mg Janvria, 20 mG Lisinopril, 40 mg simvastatin. He was doing very well for his age, he is 83 and he was able to do everything for himself until they added the finasteride to his drug list. He is urinating at night every 15-20 minutes, his legs cannot hold him up anymore, he seems incoherent at times, his fingers have shooting pains. He has fallen mulitple times trying to get to the bathroom. This downgrade has happened almost overnight. I think he is resigned to dying, but none of this makes any sense. 6 months ago, his family doctor said he would live to 100 and he is getting progressively worse EVERY DAY! Could some of this stem from the new medicine?
Hello, Side effects of Finasteride include impotence, decreased libido) loss of interest in sex, trouble having an orgasm, abnormal ejaculation, erectle dysfunction, swelling in your hands or feet, swelling or tenderness in your breasts, dizziness and weakness.

What are the main symptoms for MS? I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia, but I don t think that is all that is going on. Some things I have read say that you can have white spots on the brain which I have and when I have issues it seems to be more in my upper arm muscles and then spasms in my legs and feet. Could this be MS?
I am sorry about your troubles. However, what do you mean by having spots in your brain, have you had a CT OR MRI? The only way of visualizing MS brain lesions is through MRI. As for the physical signs what you mention could be caused by fibromyalgia.

### INSTRUCTION: If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. ### Question: What are the main symptoms for MS? I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia, but I don t think that is all that is going on. Some things I have read say that you can have white spots on the brain which I have and when I have issues it seems to be more in my upper arm muscles and then spasms in my legs and feet. Could this be MS? ### Answer: I am sorry about your troubles. However, what do you mean by having spots in your brain, have you had a CT OR MRI? The only way of visualizing MS brain lesions is through MRI. As for the physical signs what you mention could be caused by fibromyalgia. Not that I can exclude MS, it's a disease with many ways of presentation according to the affected areas, but it's a diagnosis which is suspected by a careful neurological exam and history taking and confirmed by MRI.
Hi, My 6 months old baby started to shake his head very fast, as if he is saying no, First time I noticed was last night when I was trying to getting to sleep (so he was laying on his back). It just happen again 2 hours ago when again he was laying on his back but not trying to get him to sleep and 15 mins before falling asleep. He moves his head left to right about 6 times then stops for a couple of seconds and starts again. He did that today maybe 4-6 times. He did stop moving when I put my hand on his head but when i take my hand off he starts again. Could this be a sign of seizure?
Hi.by what you say I do not think this is a seizure. The fact that he's stopping it once you put your hand, signifies that. I feel that it is more likely to be a self satiating behavior, rather than a seizure. Regards -

I have had some traces of blood in my urine for about 4 months now. I have all types of testing done and everything has come back negative.I do have a very small stone and a tiny cyst on the liver, but other than that all is ok. Should I still be concerned?Thank you
HelloYour finding suggests tiny simple liver cyst. It is generally an age related developmental findings. Generally this condition doesn't require any treatment. It may only require follow-up ultrasound. It may require surgical intervention if there is pain, infection,increase in size etc. At present, I only advise for follow-up ultrasound if you are asymptomatic. This is usually not a serious finding. Tiny calculus in liver may be due to past healed infection. It also generally doesn't require any treatment. Get well soon. Take Care Chat Doctor.

Hi, I know someone who hurt their knee today whilst getting up off their knees. They are complaining of a sharp pain on the outside of their knee. There is no swelling and this is even the case several hours later but it hurts when they put pressure on it and they find it hard to straighten it. Do you know what it may be?
Maybe partial sprain of collateral ligaments of knee with sudden jerking up from siting position. Use a knee support or knee cap, apply voting gel after fomentation and take Advil tab twice a day after meals for 3 days. Consult an orthopedic doctor, it will be ok

So I am 21 years old, I have had back pain for almost a year now, it initially strated last fall when I herniated a disc, i traeted in with physical therpay and it resolved, but similar symptoms seem to keep coming back a couple months after and they are with me every day since then sometimes really bad and other times very miminal. just pain in the lower back mainly on left side that will continue on down to my fibula head where my gait is altered and my ROM is limited, ADLs are hard and I feel like an old man haha. Granted I have a slight LLD and my hamstrings are very tight, I have a lot of functional issued that need adressing but none too serious. Recently I have been having testicular discomfort and abnormal stools where they are blochy and it seems like papery like flakes coming off of the clumps stool, no whole normal stool is ever pushed out. I am worried that this may develope into something more serious...
Hidisc once herniated gets fibrosis the ring enclosing it weakens over time and some more part of disc may bulge out through the rent and cause fresChatDoctorpression on nerve roots. Once fibrosis of this fresh part occurs, the pressure releases and pain abates. Rest, physical therapy as before may be indicated again-see an orthopedic doctor and have MRI done. As for stool problem, modifying diet with more of cereals, leafy green vegetables, fiber rich fruits and Isabel husk(available in markets) at bedtime daily will sort the stool consistency issue testicular discomfort if with some local pain and tenderness may be shown to a physician or a surgeon. Without examination of testes, no diagnosis can be made., treatment obviously follows after knowing cause best wishes,

My 88 year old mother has the diagnosis of adenocarcinoma of the colon. The gastroentrologist said he could not pass the scope passed the recal tumor. She is not in great shape and could not tolerate two surgeries and chemo so has elected to do nothing. She was in hospice but is now in a nursing home. She did have a CT scan and nothing was seen in her liver. I do not know the stage. We thought she was going to die when they took us to hospice but now seems to be doing well. What can we expect as to a time frame. Just want to know how to best deal and help her.
Welcome at Chat Doctor I have gone through your query and being your physician I completely understand your health concerns. She needs a multidisciplinary approach including surgeon, gastroenterologist and radiologist. It is difficult to comment on basis of history provided. If there are no secondaries in liver then surgery can be done but your surgeon will decide whether to operate her or not depending upon the overall status of the patient. Meanwhile, stay calm May she get well soon Hope your query is adequately ad Chat Doctor.

Hello, I ve had a low grade fever for over a month now. It s between 99.8-100.5. I ve never had any health problems, and I don t take any medication. I m 29 years old. I get dizzy and I I get a headache right when the fever kicks in. I ve had a lot of blood tests done. The only thing that s abnormal is my white cell blood count is elevated and my blood pressure is elevated as well. I took antibiotics because the only thing the doctors said was that I m fighting an infection. It s been almost a week since I took antibiotics and my fever didn t go away. I don t have health insurance, so I ve have to pay for everything myself. I m hoping to get some sort of specific advice on what test to run next. I m really worried, please help.
It appears from the problems listed in your question is that indeed you have an infection that needs to be treated. I am of the opinion that infection of the meninges that might be responsible for your present problems. Kindly consult the physician or neurologist.

Hi I have had back surgery after years of being on strong pain killers. Though I had relief for about 6 months I am now having pain like before and can not stop losing weight. Food just goes through me and my stomach is often feeling nausea when I eat. Have the pain killers effected my stomach lining. How can I fix this without taking more prescription drugs.
Welcome to Chat Doctor. Need to know more about your spine problem. Do you have back pain or leg pain or both? You are right, the medicine will not solve the problem, and it will only complicate the things due to side effects. What was the surgery done? You need to see your spine doctor and get X-rays if needed. Please get back with more detailed information. Thanks.

Hello, There is no major side effect of Delay; the only thing is your child is not getting adequate nutrition. You need to give him balance diet. You can continue Delay after taking care of overall nutrition but giving fresh food is more preferable than canned powder. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

hi 2 weeks back i started having severe pain in my knee and fever with chills. i was treated with 3rd generation cephalosporin but i had persistant fever with severe knee pain. now i am diagnosed to have typhoid. what changes does typhoid cause in the knee
HI, Typhoid can present with knee pain and joint pain. It is a part of the disease process. Once you are on antibiotics and the disease subsides the knee pain will also go down. Typhoid bacteria(Salmonella) take their time getting eliminated from your system. They have no long term effects on your knee unless you are a hemophiliac or very rarely you have a knee abscess. Please do not worry. You would be perfectly fine to resume normal activities like running in another week and a half. Thank you for your query.
