I have slight trouble in my left knee. I feel mild pain for 20-30 seconds after standing from long sitting position. my uric acid level is 7.0. Doctor prescribed me FEBUGET 40 once daily for a month. Another doctor prescribe me Diacerin with Celecoxib two tab daily for two month and FEBUXOR-40 one tab daily for one month. Patholoigist just ask me that uric acid is within the normal range but on upper limit thus no need to start medication just take precautions only in food habit and life style. Pl Guide me
Hello welcome to. I have read your question and understand your concerns. High Uric acid levels may or may not be associated with gout and the knee pain you described. Medications are not mandatory at this blood levels. My advice to you is - 1. Strictly avoid non veg diet and alcohol intake. It will avoid rise in uric acid levels. There are other dietary modifications required like avoiding excessive citrus fruits, curd, high protein diet etc. 2. Ask your doctor that you want to stop Tab febuxosatat, you are taking right now. He will guide you how to gradually reduce the dose of medicines. DON'T ABRUPTLY STOP MEDICINES. 3. Do serum uric acid levels every 3 monthly. Next time you also do your whole kidney profile because damaged kidney may cause rise in uric acid levels. Thank you. Have a nice day.

I had an open mri of my hand. MRI and xray normal. I clearly have pain and swelling between the index and middle metacarpals near the fingers on both sides of hand. (Between knuckles on both sides of hand). Pain goes down both fingers. Hand feels tight. Hurts most of day especially when gripping or twisting. Any information would be appreciated. I was shocked that mri was normal.
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Since your MRI and x-ray is normal, no need to worry about major musculoskeletal cause for your hand pain. Sometimes, calcium, vitamin D3 and vitamin B12 deficiency can also cause similar kind of hand pain. So get done blood reports for calcium, vitamin D3 and vitamin B12 level. If there is deficiency then you have to start supplements. Application of warm water pad and ice packs alternatively will also give you symptomatic benefit. Don't worry, you will be alright with all these. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.

My ten month old just overcame roseola a week or so back. But now she has red bumps on her chest...her rash associated with roseola disappeared 3 days ago and now there is a cluster of red itchy umps on her chest. It just appeared this morning....should I worry? She has exczema on her legs so it can t be that...
Hi...you may be right. By what you quote this seems to be an eczema or a sort of allergy to me. You can try soothing calamine lotion or an over the counter anti-allergic for relief. Regards -

Hey doctor , I have this lump between my neck and my shoulder it has been there since about two months , it hurts everytime I touch it but sometimes it hurts without even touching it , it doesnt move when I touch it and its not very big ! what could it be ?
Welcome to ChatDoctorMostly it is lymph node which when infected can cause pain. See a surgeon for confirmation. Biopsy can tell definitive diagnosis. It can be simply nonspecific or tuberculosis or very rarely cancer spread. Regards

hello, I have been experiencing a tingling prickly sensation when I touch stuff, for example my cell phone which is a touch screen, grip tightly a cup and even when I type on my computer keyboard. This sensation is only located on my finger tips. Towards the end of the day my hands (palms and fingertips feel relief when I hold something cool). This has been going on for about five days now. please do help!
Hello dear, The symptoms as mentioned in your post can be attributed to:1. Compression of nerve fibers at the upper limb, either due to mechanical compression or spasm of para spinal muscles.2. Inadequate HY Chat Doctor. 3. Dietary deficiencies of certain nutrients like Iron, Calcium, vitamin D, Vitamin B12, Folic acid, etc. which help in blood formation & nerve conduction.4. Peripheral neuropathy caused due to any fluctuation in blood pressure or blood sugar level. Symptomatic relief can be obtained by intake of cervicogenic agents (like Vitamin B6, Vitamin B12, Folic acid) as well as multivitamin & multimineral supplements including iron, calcium & vitamin D needs to be added in your diet. Physiotherapy & postural exercise will also be helpful. If symptoms still persist, kindly consult a Neurologist & get a complete Neurological examination done. Certain investigations like complete blood count, serum electrolyte estimation, fresh estimation of blood pressure & blood sugar levels & nerve conduction studies will be helpful to rule out any pathological cause for the symptoms. Wishing you a Good Health. Take care.

The other day out of no where in my right inner elbow I found these two separate little circles of raised non itchy bumps, a little while later I started noticing these little bumps traveling up my arm,and then anotherNon itchy group appeared then theres a line of three red bumps on my shoulder. On my chest there is a group of more bumps that are close together but do not gotten a circle like the other spots. On my legs I have like this red rash that is not bumpy or raised traveling from my ankle all the way up to my thigh. I woke up Monday with a sore throat, then I developed a horrible cough and terrible naseousnes. I have had shingles, I have also have tinea versicolor I think Is what its called my skin is always really dry and my skin just peels of taking my pigment with it... I am very concerned because in 2008 I had necrotizing fasciitis...
Hi I understood your query and concern Circular bumps u explained can be Tina corporal .yes sometimes it is associated with Tina tricolor.both are fungal infections .they should be treated with oral fluconazole 150 mg weekly once for 4-6weeks and application of neural ointment over the both the lesions can treat the condition. Regarding shingles use antiviral treatment. As these are coming together rule out immunocompromised disease like bag or HIV

It appears that there is a whitish lump under each . I have not brought him to my GP yet? thanks for any information you might be able to advise
Hi, this is most probably bacterial infection of skin. Antibiotic like amoxiclav needs to be started. An examination by doctor should be done. Take care.

Hello my name is julita. I never had this feeling before . I m a smoker and I ate Chinese food but after that I felt like I had a little panic attack which I always got. My question is I have a burning feeling in my stomach ever since I ate the Chinese food . Am I okay or should I go to the er because I m a little worried about this feeling.
Hi, May be the Chinese food was too spicy or something that has caused gastritis. Burning sensation in stomach may be the features of gastritis. SMOKING ITSELF CAN GIVE RISE TO GASTRITIS. You may take medicine like machine gel 2 SF 3/4 times to get relief from the burning. If the symptom persists you may take petard d 1 daily for few days.getting a check-up from physician will be helpful Hope you be all right.

I have fluid in my lower back and have had so for a few months, following a laparoscopy. It really hurts to twist in certain ways and sometimes for no reason at all. Sitting feels better. It is all lumpy under the skin and moves around. It seems to be getting more. I was told by a muscular skeletal masseuse that its definately fluid. Do I need to go to the doctor? It does seek to be getting worse.
You need to go for check by a doctor, if it is some cyst, it is inflamed causing pain and needs definitive treatment. Try some ibuprofen 400 mg thrice after meals in meantime. Lower back pain also needs to be checked for the cause in spine by an orthopedics doctor, who might ask for X-ray/MRI as per necessity on physical examination

I am looking at having a knee replacement and my doctor is strongly urging me to wait as long as possible before getting it done. Why? At this point I am unable to do normal activities such as walking without pain. I cannot even stand for any length of time without pain. He wants me to lose some weight to help out the knee joint but I can t do that unless I can walk further or hike. Is it time for me to get the surgery?
For severe knee arthritis the surgery is must. But here your doctor is also right if you are very much over weight then post surgery the rehabilitation may become difficult. Here I suggest to start physiotherapy first and take a dietician consultation to plan your diet. Now here with physiotherapy treatment it will help to relax your soft tissue and knee inflammation. At the same time do take suggestion on how to reduce weight without doing weight-bearing exercises? One way is by cycling. Also take a complete exercise program on knee strengthening exercise and follow it. This will help you to recover fast after surgery. Follow this for some time and reduce your weight and strengthen your knee. I am sure with this your knee pain will also reduce as well for doctor also it will be easy to take a call on surgery. Take care.

My husband is 44, height is 58, weight around 300. He just went to the dr and found out he has a low sperm count and the sperm is misshapen. We just lost our insurance so we cant go to a specialist right now. What should he do to help his count get better for now until we get insurance again? Also we are wondering why the sperm is misshapen? Thanks, Frances
Hello, The low sperm count is called oligospermia. The causes include varicocele, low FSH, LH, mumps orchids, chronic epididymorchitis etc. I suggest you investigate primarily with ultrasonography testis, CBC, serum testosterone, FSH and LH estimation for primary work up. You can revert with reports once done. Meanwhile, you can take hey Forte or Maxima L like amino acid and l carnitine containing tablet. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

The causes include varicocele, low FSH, LH, mumps orchids, chronic epididymorchitis etc. I suggest you investigate primarily with ultrasonography testis, CBC, serum testosterone, FSH and LH estimation for primary work up. You can revert with reports once done. Meanwhile, you can take hey Forte or Maxima L like amino acid and l carnitine containing tablet. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
hello my boyfriend just found a dent in the back of his head and he went to a doctor and she said that he has had a nasty fall in the past and has a hematoma on his head and has to go in for blood tests and she put him on antibiotics, whats happening? Is he going to be okay? i am really scared
Hello. I have been through your question and understand your concern. You should not be worried about because dents after trauma are very common. Antibiotics are used just for prevention with no real benefit. Indeed, I would not recommend at all.These situations are self limiting and benign. Hope this helps. Best regards

My daughter had a fever 2 nights ago with a sore throat. The fever is gone but she says her neck is sore, has a headache but no more sore throat but has some flem in the back of her throat. Treating with tylenol n she has been putting ice on her neck. Anything else we should be doing or concerned about?
Hi, Thanks for the query. I have gone through your clinical history, and it is a common problem in pediatric age group. I see many similar cases in my clinical practice. She is most probably having pharyngitis(inflammation of throat), If a kid with similar symptom comes to my clinic I would prescribe simple analgesics like paracetamol or acetaminophen (Tylenol is a brand name of acetaminophen) for fever and pain. I would also start a short course of antibiotics like amoxicillin dose of which depend on weight of the child. Warm saline gargles could provide symptomatic relief. Since the antibiotic dose has to be calculated according to the weight of the child I suggest you to consult your family doctor. If you have any further queries feel free to contact. Regards Chat Doctor.

8 or so months ago I lightly hit the back of my head dead center. It was a light hit but was still beyond excruciating. The pain went away after several minutes. Since then I have noticed a hard boney lump in that spot. Every few days it seems to grow a little bigger and gets painful to the touch but then does not bother me at all the next day. what is it and what should I do?
Hi, It seems that there might be having formation of some hematoma due to hit producing lump on that area. Now hematoma is reduced and encapsulated giving rise small lump. Nothing to worry, go for ice pack application for few days. Gradually it will be absorbed. Ok and take care.

i have had problems with my heart skipping a beat every now and then for about 4 months or so. I have had a few ECG s and an ultra sound and not mucChatDoctore up. I have now had a 48 hour ECG but I am waiting for the results to come back.I am 26 years old 6 foot 2 inches tall and weigh about 189 pounds. I do regular exercise (running about 15 miles a week). I noticed my heart was skipping a beat quite regularly 2 weeks ago so I decided to not do any exercise last week to see if it stopped and it did! I really don t want to stop exercising, my aim is to run a marathon. Is my heart skipping a beat potentially dangerous, should I stop running?
Hi, Skipped heart beat could be simply PCs (extra contraction from a normal heart) which can occur with exercise, or it could be some other arrhythmia. Let the holder report come & further course of action will depend on its report. Holder is done when you are not exercising. I will also recommend you to undergo a TMT that will report these skipped heart beats during exercise. You can follow up with me after the report. ThanksTake care

HelloThanks for query, Based on the report of your semen analysis that you have posted I would like to comment in details as below 1)The color, liquefaction time, reaction and fructose are within normal limits as compared to WHO standards 2)Sperm count is very low(Oligospermia) normal range being 35-50 millions /ml 3) Motility of sperm-Within normal accepted range 4) Morphology of sperm is within accepted range The presence of 3-4 pus cells suggests infection and needs to be treated with antibiotic like Doxycycline twice daily for 4-6 weeks. The (Oligospermia) sperm count can be increased by following general measures 1) Practice regular exercise for 45 minutes followed by meditation for 1/2 an hour in the morning. 2) Take high protein diet rich in vegetables and fruits and vitamin A, C,D, E.and Zinc 3)Take anti oxidants like Almonds 5-6 everyday4) Avoid alcohol and smoking.

I am trying to treat my husband for low sperm count, motility and morphology. I have heard that low iron levels may cause problems here. I thought about buying him a multivitamin with iron added, but I want to be sure he needs it. Why dont multivitamins already have iron in them?
Hi welcome to Chat Doctor. I have gone through your question. Low sperm count, low motility and abnormal morphology should be investigated with color Doppler ultrasound of scrotum first, as varicocele is the major cause of low motility and low count. As far as multivitamin contains vitamin B complex is generally not having iron with in them. Multivitamins are nutritional supplements which provides only nutritional requirements, but don't help in cure the pathology if it's there. So I would advise consulting urologist. Hope I answered your question. Would be happy to help you further. Take care.

Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor. As a urologist, I can understand your anxiety. After an examination by Urologist, the proper test to do is a CENT. The creatinine level must be written. The urine is sterile. So no there's no UTI. Anti-t.b.treatment has been started empirically. Urine should've been sent for AFB culture. You may send the CENT and creatinine reports to me, for an expert opinion, as a direct question.

This gnawing ache and daily diarreah is just terrible. Whath else could it be? I have also had small painful mouth ulcers in the past.I get hungry, but no fod seems good to me, and when I do eat, I can t seem to eat very much at all.

My baby was fair when she was born ...but day by day her skin become darker and darker... what should I do ...so that she get back her fair complexion. And other thing is happening with her is that she has green marks in her hips, back , hands, legs.....is it normal.
Hi...the green marks you quote on her hips, back, hands, legs are called Mongolian spots, and they will eventually disappear - do not worry. Regarding complexion too - it is normal for all the babies to be pink and fair skinned when born and gradually the genetic component takes over, and the baby will attain the complexion of her parents. There is no way a genetic skin complexion can be modified with Chat Doctor. Regards -

i have woke up and my right arm is feeling heavy and weird. i have a strange feeling hard to describe in my shoulder, not pain but not pleasent. i also have the same pain near my spine under my right shoulder blade. Its quite warm, and I am stressed out over work related issues. please help.
Hi, Firstly, Sorry to hear about your condition. Coming to the history, I feel this is due to tightened trapezius muscle. This is a common condition in most people due to weakness of the muscle and this may lead to painful symptoms. This condition to be provisionally diagnosed as Trapeziums. It means inflammation of the trapezius muscle. Using hot water bag over the region and strengthening the neck and trapezius muscle should be of help. Many things this is a major condition but in my practice I feel one can get rid of symptoms if assessed properly and guided properly. Rest assured, performing regular exercise for the mentioned group of muscles you should be fine in 2-3 weeks of time maximum. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

I;m going through spells of depression a few times a week and then it seems as though Im full of energy. Im sleeping a lot some days; then other days it seems as if I cant sleep at all and on those days Im full of energy and the lack of sleep does not affect my work performance. I cant concentrate, my thoughts race though my mind. My wanting of sex has increased. I have lost interest of the things I have once enjoyed, most of the time I just want to be left alone with my thoughts. Im afraid of talking to someone about this.
His understand your concern. Frequent episodes of depression need evaluation for different mood features. Mood reactivity need to evaluate properly. Frequent episode sometime may indicate bipolar disorder. So consult psychiatrist. After proper evaluation we are able to do proper treatment. It can be treated with SSRI and mood stabilizer. So consult and get help. Still if you have a query then feel free to ask. Thank you. Take care.

Hi, This could be carpal tunnel syn Chat Doctor. This is a condition where one of the main nerves to the hand becomes compressed at the wrist causing pain. It is quite common and not serious. It can be treated with a minor operation. I suggest you see your doctor for further advice.

my baby is just 6 months 8 days, she is exclusively breastfed. From last Friday, she has been suffering from greenish stool for 3 to 4 times/ day. On Saturday, synflorix (3rd), rotateq (3rd) and OPV were administered.From Sunday morning onwards, she is on Enterogermina (2 amp daily dose). No improvement till date.What to do?
Hi...an exclusive breastfed baby having green stools is perfectly common and normal. Unless the kids having low urine output or very dull or excessively sleepy or blood in motion or green bilious vomiting...you need not worry. There is no need to use Probiotics like Enterogermina. It is not about improvement as this is going to settle spontaneously buy itself in few days. It is unlikely to be related to vaccinations. Regards -

My name isn t Bibin. My wife is 14 weeks pregnant. Today we did ultrasound scanning and it shows the baby length as 8.12cm. But the sonographer is not happy with this and she told us the average length should be 8.5cm and they give appointment to us tomorrow to conduct one more scanning. Me and my wife is too much worried. This is our first baby. Is there anything to get worried?
Hi I think it can be normal variation also. Sometimes there are observer variation also. You can get a repeat scan done and confirm it. Also, if findings are same, you can go for a growth scan after 4 weeks and see if size has grown normally or not. Don't worry too much about a single scan. Hope it helps.

Just diagnosed with a 2.9 cm tumour in my bladder. I have just had a TURBT with mitomycin. Upon reviewing my Ultrasound report I read that I also have a lower pole septated anterior 1.5 cm cortical cyst in my left kidney. The doctor failed to mention this to me. Should I be worried?
Hellman finding is urinary bladder tumor, and you are getting specific treatment for it. Small cyst in left kidney is a minor finding. Simple renal cysts are generally age related developmental findings, and it only requires follow-up scan. There is no need to be worried about small renal cyst. It can be ignored. Take Care, Chat Doctor.

why do doctors do ex rays or ct scan for one thing and discover a dark spot on the kidney by accident and say dont worry its nothing and 2 years of bleeding pain pullups and other stuff then just to discover that when the patient questioned the doctor before was ignored and now diagnose with kidney cancer which could have been cured 2 years earlier tell me that answer hey why doctors play god and think were all dumb and how dare we question you guys. you may of went to school for this but does not mean you know everything.For example fen fen was a diuretic used for obese people but it took 50 years for doctors to fess up it destroyed hart vales why is that hey why you may think this may not be for you to answer but this applies to all doctors for all things also the cure for cancer if cancer is in all of us and some get it others dont its not an off switch its whats missing in the body it is like the game kerplunk pull too many sticks out it all falls apart leave them all in nothing happens . Its an enzyme people loose radiation and chemotherapy talk about old school do a study on what each cancer patient is missing sometimes it does not have to do anything it just has to be their to keep the rest in place . Yes call me crazy I do not care but long long time ago people believe a simple thing as a doctors washing their hands before surgery was a waste of time so I pose to you and your fellow doctors look for the block support of the body if we all carry cancer then our own bodies have the cure sometimes its so simple it is actually looking at you but every one cannot believe it because it goes against whats taught ---Good thing BEES do not believe in the Laws of physics or they would not fly amazing a big body tinny wings yet it defies all the laws of gravity physics etc imagine if doctors would think in the same path way I wonder you should too all good hiding places are in front of you too see yet blinded by the simplicity of it
Hi, Thanks for writing in. At times, features of a disease on an X-ray and CT scan is not characteristic and obvious to the eyes years before it manifests in to a disease that could be hurting. I guess unfortunately such an incident has occurred with you. The dark spot which you questioned was probably looking more normal and acceptable on the X-ray and CT scan earlier. Many doctors choose to follow up such findings and this is subjective. Therefore, any such normal findings might be passed as harmless. The patient is usually cautioned to follow up with the doctor. Many medicines are initially discovered for treatment on one disease condition and are later found to help in other conditions. There are clinical trials at multiple levels before a medicine for cancer might be implemented for regular use in patients. The topic about scrubbing before surgery is a time tested practice and confirmed to reduce chances of infection. There are many arguments in medicine and most are sorted out with research and evidence based medicine followed in modern day. Please do not worry.

Dear parent, I think you mean at liar nerve. If the injury was in the nerve then physiotherapy is only likely to return part of the power an action of the hand. But full power and action can not be returned once nerve cells are damaged.

My husband was receiving chemo once a week for lung, liver cancer. Since the liver tumors have shrunk he was given some time off from chemo. However, he has not had any chemo now for about 4 weeks and is experiencing extreme fatigue, no energy, loss of appetite. Is this what happens? Please advise
Hi.yes. Those symptoms are most common post-chemotherapy. Your husbands immune system and physiologic state will eventually come back. It is best if you advise him to continue eating regularly despite his loss of appetite since his body will need nutrients. If available, you could consult with a clinical nutritionist to help/guide you with his daily diet/oral intake to meet his daily caloric needs. Hope this helps. Good day!!~ Chat Doctor.

Hi, I was using momate steroidfor an year as it made my skin look good but then I realised that my skin is dependent on that ointment. I showed it to a derma and she suggested eldercoid and I have been using Eldercoid (a baby steroid) every alternate day for an year. however, I still see that the dependency is still the same if I donot apply eldercoid one night or maximus 2 nights I get the rashes back on my face . You can call them eczema . Kindly suggest something that can help me get rid of the dependency. I dont use too many creams its just the sunscreen in the morning that I apply.
His. You should not use steroids for skin to look good steroid are harmful for skin if it is used without indication. U can stop steroid in a tapering mode. And can apply tacrolimus for few days and then stop all .take a specific treatment according to your need ...

My mother aged 59 was diagnosed with Sarcoidosis at GB Pant hospital. The reports showed: -Honey combing of lungs was seen in Xray. -Elevated ACE levels: 67.70 U/L. -Liver Biopsy: Sections show cores of liver tissue with maintained lobular architecture. Many well defined epithelioid cell granulomas are seen in the parenchyma and Portal tracts. Many langhan s and foreign body giant cells are also seen. No caseous necrosis is present. Focal macrovesicular steatosis is seen. After she developed regular coughing she was advised to receive treatment for Latent Tuberculosis. She started DOTS from 21st December 2010. Her coughing was relieved after 2 months of treatment. But Liver Function Test showed: -S.Bilirubin(Total): 8.47 mg/dL -S.G.O.T.(A.S.T): 1,048.70 U/L -S.G.P.T.(A.L.T.): 797.10 U/L -S.Alkaline Phosphatase: 273.01 U/L She was diagnosed with Jaundice and DOTS was stopped. The doctor changed the medicines to ETHAMBUTOL, URSODIOL, OFLOXACIN, STREPTOMYCIN and PANTOSEC. She has been taking the above mentioned medicines for 7 days. Since then she has been suffering from extreme gastric complications, yellow eyes, swollen stomach, loss of appetite and insomnia. She has a history of Gastric problems, Urinary Tract Infection, and she also has an artificial pacemaker installed.
Hi.as your concern your mother has ACIDOSIS. DOTS treatment had produced side effect on LIVER FUNCTION. Your doctor had changed the therapy regime to avoid toxicity of DOTS regime. Its only 7 days so better to have LIVER FUNCTION TEST after 10 -15 day.to see if present side effect is of changed regime or earlier one. Keep repeated LIVER FUNCTION TEST every 15 -20 days to see proper function of liver. And for gastric problems take medicine with milk or food.

I have cirrhosis of the liver. three days ago my stool was accompanied by lots of blood which was very red and clear. Yesterday this bleeding stopped but now it has been bleeding again today. I have bowel movements at least 3 times a day sometimes more so it makes for quite a bit of blood lost. I am thinking this bleed is coming from burst hemoroids and small veins in that area but i am still concerned with the loss of blood as my cirrhosis is a level 4.
Thanks for posting your query on Chat Doctor! I can understand your problem. Blood in the stool (bleeding per rectum) occurs in patients with cirrhosis of liver due to abnormally dilated veins beneath the lining of food pipe and also in the lower part of rectum. This is due to increase pressure in the blood circulation (portal circulation) which involves the Chat Doctor. Bright red blood in the stool is highly suggestive of rupture of such abnormally dilated veins resulting in the bleeding which can cause anemia. You are advised to consult your doctor for proper assessment and treatment. Wishing you a good health.

My father-in-law was recently diagnosed with dementia. I believe he is 75 years old. His father had alzheimers disease. My question is simply does someone start out with the diagnosis of dementia and then it possibly turn into alzheimers. I know that alzheimers is one of the most common forms of dementia. Just curious.
Hello, As you know, Alzheimer's is the most common form of dementia, but there is no definite test to diagnose Alzheimer. It is diagnosed on postmortem study. There is no definitive curable treatment for dementia. All medication helps in reducing the progression of disease. So doctor diagnosing dementia or Alzheimer's treatment will be same. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

I have hives all over body that itch, upon hives i get runs, then break out in sweats and have severe stomach pain. after sweats i get chills. I sometimes vomit when this happens. had ultrasound of abdomen and ct of kidneys along with blood work last week. results only showed a fatty liver. what could cause this? colonoscopy is scheduled for Tuesday May 1 st.
Hi, Fatty liver is not usually related to hives. I request you to consult your Physician for managing your fatty liver. Coming to hives, management of hives is mainly by identifying and avoiding the causative agent. As sweating leads to your hives, you can use Clotrimazole dusting powder and Calamine lotion for preventing sweating. Also, you must take an antihistamine tablet for a week. If you do not get any improvement in a week, you should consult your Dermatologist for further management. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Fro Charlotte - My husband has the problem of a feeling of swelling of the head accompanied with dizziness and nausea. We have been to see our heart doctor and an ENT but both of the doctors felt his condition was not something that they could diagnose.
Hi thereby your question I am assuming that he feels there is a swelling of head while there actually is no real swelling of head this is associated with vertigo and nausea this may actually be a PCA infarct would suggest you get a MRI brain with Mr angiography as soon as possible please note my judgement is limited by the information you provided have no idea about his age, habits, prior medical issues and medicines best of luck

My daughter (26) is just shy of being 6 months pregnant....she is experiencing kidney stone issues. Within the last 72 hours she ended up having a stent put in and they plan to leave it there until after the baby is born. She is on the antibiotic Macrobid and I was helping her look up information on this medication. She experienced an unusual discharge (vaginal) this morning - no pain, no blood...no cramps etc. Just a discharge she hasn t seen before and she called me to ask if I thought that was normal. (She is at work) so I looked it up and see that it is possible to have a vaginal discharge while taking macrobid. Question is - without pain, blood, cramps or anything - should she call her OB about the discharge or since she is taking the medication Macrobid and it says vaginal discharge is possible.....should she just see if she continues with this discharge. I also noticed it said not to take this medication while nursing and not to take it during the last 2-4 weeks of pregnancy. THAT bothers me - why is it safe for the baby NOW but not in the last few weeks of pregnancy?? Thanks
Hi there,Macro bid or nitrofurantoin is the recommended antibiotic for Urinary tract infections in pregnancy except after 38 weeks as it can cause a rare type of blood disorder called hemolytic anemia in the baby. It is safe in the remainder of pregnancy and is Category B (that is proven to be not harmful). It is recreated in breast milk which is why it's not prescribed to breastfeeding mothers. If she has discharge she should get examined by an obstetrician as vaginal infection can occur in pregnancy and these need to be treated promptly to avoid preterm delivery. Hope this helps. Regards.

Thanks ### Answer: Hi there,Macro bid or nitrofurantoin is the recommended antibiotic for Urinary tract infections in pregnancy except after 38 weeks as it can cause a rare type of blood disorder called hemolytic anemia in the baby. It is safe in the remainder of pregnancy and is Category B (that is proven to be not harmful). It is recreated in breast milk which is why it's not prescribed to breastfeeding mothers. If she has discharge she should get examined by an obstetrician as vaginal infection can occur in pregnancy and these need to be treated promptly to avoid preterm delivery. Hope this helps. Regards.
hi.i am from delhi and my name is anshu. i have a dark complexion n have heard about this cream named meladerm.i dont trust this but i want to try this also.where can i get this cream in delhi and does it actually works? can i get a lighter complexion by appying this cream?
Hello, Thank you for posting on Chat Doctor. Complexion of any person is having two components; constitutive, one which is predetermined by genetics and racial factors and usually cannot be changed with any treatment. The other component is due to external agents like environmental exposure, sunlight, use of any cosmetics etc. and is amenable to treatment. Avoid MESODERM or any similar product as it contains ingredients which can actually damage your skin. I would suggest you to get a series of chemical peels, which actually remove the upper dead layers of skin and stimulate regeneration of collagen and thus newer layers of skin. Many options are available in chemical peels depending on the requirement and skin type. (Glycol peel, retinol peel, cocktail peel etc.)Also, chemical peeling can be preceded by a simple procedure called microdermabrasion or commonly known as skin polishing to augment the results. Also, at home you can try using cream containing comic acid, betray Chat Doctor. Always use broad spectrum sunscreen before going out in sun. Use a plain moisturizer like detail DAM on daily basis for healthy and HY

Got a little cold this morning and placed a towel over the chest area and got warm, but realized the estimated 3 below the trach. and 2 left was a bit sore. The nickel size is right on the bone line of the collar bone. Right side is normal, flat and not puffed under skin. I do have sinus drainage and mild cough. Is this something to be concerned about?

Hope I have solved your query. Wish you good health. Thanks.

My granddaughter 10 years old on an island in the Irish sea is now getting pains on her chest and her left arm is getting very cold. At one time it was turning blue. As the arm was heated the blue went away. The current temperature there is now about 2 degree. Is it a heart attack or just the cold.
Hello dear, thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your granddaughters situation and problem. Your granddaughter was having cyanosis (bluish discoloration of skin) in hands. And this can be seen in congenital heart disease and exposure to freezing. So better to rule out cardiac disease first. Consult cardiologist and get done1. Ecg2. 2d photo rule out cardiac cause. If both are normal then no need to worry much for cardiac cause. Exposure to freezing can be the cause. So better to give her warm gloves in cold weather.

Hi I m isdro. I have a female friend her mouth its twist to the left side Her chick muscle didn t work she feels litle bid and she don t Have any problems to talk or to eat but her mouth its not Straight so she s don t know what kind of clinic or doctor to look for to ask what surgery or medicine needs to take
Hi, If it is present since birth then it's just a normal variation of the anatomy and nothing needs to be done apart for cosmetics purpose. If it is acquired later in life and is associated with other complications, it is then suggestive of facial nerve paralysis. Whatever is the cause you need a plastic surgeon to look after them. Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

I m an 18 year old girl and have had back problems for maybe 3 years. Went to doctor to get an X-Ray and they couldn t find anything. Sometimes it hurts on my lower back, sometimes upper, and sometimes all over. It hurts when I lay down, sit down, and stand up for maybe 45 minutes. Please tell me what it could be??
Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor, Lower backache has to be investigated with appropriate investigations. MRI of the spine is the investigation wherein the soft tissue surrounding the spine are visualized. Soft tissue lesions are more commonly responsible for chronic backache. Treatment can be instituted after relevant investigations. Physiotherapy will also help to relieve the pain. I suggest you to consult an orthopedic for further management. Thanks and take care Chat Doctor.

Hi, I had CT Scan recently and result came out as Small Mucous retention cyst posterior left speniod sinus wuth remainder of the visualized paranasal sinuses clear . what does this mean? I had infection recently and took antibiotics. I had severe dry once and that caused pain on back of my head and neck. It went to peak couple of days back and that s when i had the CT Scan. Could you please clear what does this mean and why do we get that? and any complications? Thanks Vars
Hello and thank you for your query. Mucous retention cysts are benign and there are no complications. The body can for cysts anywhere. Sometimes it happens when the body is trying to wall off an infection. Sometimes a mucous gland will get blocked and form a cyst. You do not need to worry about it, this is a benign finding.

Yes, my fiancee is suffering from a heavier period every other week. Her periods are getting more severe, with this one having small and large chunks coming out. She is dizzy, the burning while urinating has gone away. She was diagnosed with kidney infection after taking cipro tested again and still had kidney infection. She has swelling of face, rash on arms and face.
Get a repeat urine culture and accordingly the antibiotics. Tell her not to use a lampoon in case she is using one, it can cause the infection and rash on face and arms too and can be serious sometimes.

My husband has had 3 attacks of vertigo this week. They all came early in the morning while in bed. This morning it was 3:30. This attack has lasted for hours. We originally thought they were triggered by reading or looking at the computer. He suddenly has had many attacks in the last 4 months since we moved and he took a new job. Does stress bring on attacks? He hadnt had an attack in 10 years! Will this pass? It seems very serious right now.
Hi, Thank you for posting your query. Vertigo is not caused by stress, the common causes are related to ear or brain dysfunction. Severe cervical spondylosis can also cause it.First, get him evaluated by a neurologist, to look for any abnormal findings on neurological examination. Then, an MRI of brain may be ordered if any abnormalities are found to rule out brain ischemia (lack of blood flow to brain). Secondly, your husband would require an ENT evaluation to exclude BPPV-benign paroxysmal positional vertigo, which is the commonest cause of recurrent vertigo. There is no need to worry, as all these are well treatable with medications. I hope it helps. Please get back if you require any additional information. Wishing you good health, Chat Doctor. Ly/

Hello! I have been experiencing episodes of rapid sneezing, then followed by a period of time where I have an uncontrollable runny nose. I suspect they are being triggered by a rapid rise in temperature, as the symptoms occur after I exercise and after I take a hot shower. This has been happening for about 2 weeks. What could this be; a heat allergy, or something else?
Hi, Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Your symptoms look like vasomotor rhinitis that is usually triggered by change in temperature. The treatment for this ID avoiding sudden change in temperature. For the time being for symptomatic relief you can take antihistamine tablet like loratadine twice daily. This will help you.

Feel free to ask me if you have any further queries or doubts and I shall be glad to help you out. Wish you good health. Take care. Regards

My wife has endemetrial cancer stage 4 has had radical surgery and has had numerous chemo therapies,her liver is involved and she has a very distended stomach resembling a pregnancy in 8th month, bowel distress, alternating from constipation to diarrhea, Fecal discharge usually mucous or watery with no control. Any help available or in sjght, she sees an oncologist regularly but no symptom relief
Hi, Thanks for writing in. It is possible that she might have developed complications arising from endometrial cancer. The abdominal distension is possibly due to fluid accumulation and this is appearing bloated abdomen. She might also have developed bowel infection which is causing alternating diarrhea and constipation. You might try and give her more high protein foods with fiber content. This will increase the stool consistency and harden the stool. Liver involvement is a cause of concern and this is also to be treated with chemotherapy. Pain relief is important and adequate pain management. Please do not worry.

Hi! I m Carleen R. Jones, and actually, I would just like to make a comment regarding Dr. Phil s appearance on a late night talk show last week where the host and his wife just had a baby girl, and Dr. Phil showed a photo where he had shown a hand written note about the fact that his wife had a second boy, and how by his wife having a boy saved him a million dollars. Thank you for validating the female sex, or let me say, trashing the female sex. I would have been destroyed by Dr. Phil s comment if I were his wife because, what if she wanted a girl. Asshole!! I am already pre-suicidal, and have been abused by men, by my mother, and by my spouses, because I am a female. An Intelligent, pretty, and sensitive female, and then to have Dr. Phil show that written statement, to me he disqualifies his validity as to his care and concern for women. What a blowhard! He just acknowledged that when a female is born, oh!, what an expense. Then one wonders why women are abused. Thank you, you piece of male shit. But let me patronize me wife by letting her set-up a foundation for abused women. Am I the only one that gets the two-faced Dr. Phil. I really need this to be read by Dr. Phil, because I am once again on the verge of suicide. I tried to take my life on Sept. 21, 2013, because of the cruelty of men s comments, fuck Dr. Phil s arrogance. So what can you do to help me in my current emotional and disillusioned state?
HiT hanks for using Chat Doctor I think, you are in depression, and you need antidepressant for proper improvement. You should consult a psychiatrist for diagnosis and management. You can also consult a psychologist for supportive and CBT. That would help to control suicidal ideas. In case, you need further help, you can ask. Thanks

Jones, and actually, I would just like to make a comment regarding Dr. Phil s appearance on a late night talk show last week where the host and his wife just had a baby girl, and Dr. Phil showed a photo where he had shown a hand written note about the fact that his wife had a second boy, and how by his wife having a boy saved him a million dollars. Thank you for validating the female sex, or let me say, trashing the female sex. I would have been destroyed by Dr. Phil s comment if I were his wife because, what if she wanted a girl. Asshole!! I am already pre-suicidal, and have been abused by men, by my mother, and by my spouses, because I am a female. An Intelligent, pretty, and sensitive female, and then to have Dr. Phil show that written statement, to me he disqualifies his validity as to his care and concern for women. What a blowhard! He just acknowledged that when a female is born, oh!, what an expense. Then one wonders why women are abused. Thank you, you piece of male shit. But let me patronize me wife by letting her set-up a foundation for abused women. Am I the only one that gets the two-faced Dr. Phil. I really need this to be read by Dr. Phil, because I am once again on the verge of suicide. I tried to take my life on Sept. 21, 2013, because of the cruelty of men s comments, fuck Dr. Phil s arrogance. So what can you do to help me in my current emotional and disillusioned state? ### Answer: HiT hanks for using Chat Doctor I think, you are in depression, and you need antidepressant for proper improvement. You should consult a psychiatrist for diagnosis and management. You can also consult a psychologist for supportive and CBT. That would help to control suicidal ideas. In case, you need further help, you can ask. Thanks
I have this empty feeling in my stomach even after eating and I dont feel hungry though its just a hollow feeling and I also have shortness of breath sometimes and occasional sharp pains that will happen. I recently became began I dont know if that means anything...
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. You are having stomach problem with shortness of breath. So possibility of HERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease) induced bronchitis is more. HERD is known risk factor for bronchitis. So better to consult pulmonologist and get done clinical examination of respiratory system and PFT (Pulmonary Function Test). PFT will also tell you about severity of the disease and treatment of bronchitis is based on severity only. You may need inhaled bronchodilators and inhaled corticosteroid (ICS). For stomach problem, take proton pump inhibitors and prokinetic Chat Doctor. Don't worry, you will be alright. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.

Hello Dear Dr. We have problem with my daughter, aged 7 yrs., for the last 7 days. as she has given all blood test, urine and stool test, all clear, still having stomach ache while eating and in short time she does toilet for the stool. doctor haven t give any medications so far, for avoiding the side affects, only advised to give pamol syrup, can u suggest anything further, please.
Hi...usually stomach pain while having food and passing stools immediately after food are classical signs of worm infestation and I think you should be giving a course of deforming medicines to her. I suggest you give her Albendazole 400 mg one dose today and another same dose repeated after 10 days. This is a prescription Chat Doctor. You might need a prescription for this. Regards -

Hi, I have been experiencing some dizziness the last couple of days...not spinning, just feeling unstable on the feet, sometimes I feel like I step onto an uneven ground and kind of wobble a little...occasionally, I also feel sudden tingling/numb in the lower back of the head...the dizziness can last for hours but mostly when I am standing up and walking around...I was at the emergency room twice with some signs of heart attack (chest pain) but all test came back normal except with some imaging from stress test that indicated a potential insufficient blood to the heart...(very mild case and may not been conclusive according to my cardiologist)..heart CT scan is scheduled. I am otherwise very healthy with a little of thyroid issue and no family history of heart issue...I have continued with my exercise routine (cardio and strength training) and have not created any problems....Could I possibly had a mini stroke that they did not get picked up on?? I will need to travel (fly) for work and I am a little concern....thanks
Hello dear, The symptoms as mentioned in your post need to be evaluated in details before certifying you as fit for flying. The symptoms can be attributed to pathology in the Vestibular Apparatus in inner ear (it is associated with maintenance of body posture & balance) most probably Labyrinthine or Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo. Symptomatic relief can be obtained with intake of Vestibular sedatives like Betahistine or Linearizing preparations (to be taken only under the guidance of a Physician). So, kindly consult your Physician/ ENT Specialist & get a complete clinical examination done. Investigations like estimation of blood pressure, blood sugar levels, serum electrolytes & vestibular function tests will be required to rule out any pathological cause for the symptoms. There is no need to worry, you will be fine. Till then, maintain adequate HY Chat Doctor. And also take precautions of getting up from bed slowly & avoid sudden head movements. Wishing you a Good Health. Take care.

I had a uterin ablation and tubaligation 2 weeks ago. In my belly button I have pain to the touch. Today when I touched it a very small amount of white discharge came out with little blood. There was no swelling or redness before I touched my belly button. Do you think its infected?
Hello, I understand your concern. I am Chat Doctor, infectious diseases specialist, answering your query. In my opinion you should avoid touching it.It's been two weeks and you are still having discharge from the button. Normally discharge can be seen only for the two to three days. But since its two days it is likely to be infection. I advise you to take Ampicillin and sulbactam under your doctors' guidance. You can apply newsprint powder over the discharge. Please maintain the local cleanliness by frequent Chat Doctor. I will be happy to answer your further concern, you can ask me on bit.ly/

Hello sir i just went under a follicular study and my result on 12 th day of period is in right ovary its 19 mm and left ovary its 16,10,9 mm and endometrium is 8 mm i also had siephen 50 mg tablet from the first day till 10 th day than today my doctor injected me and told me to have relations tomorrow and than again go for a follicular study on 14 th day so is there any possiblty of pregnant
Hi, Thanks for the query. Your follicular development is good. You have to plan unprotected intercourse during the days of ovulation as advice by your doctor. This will increase the chances of pregnancy. Then you can continue with progesterone supplementation. And if you miss the expected date of periods go for pregnancy test once. Take care.

hi, i have chronic ibs,im in pain with it24/7,lately i have been having fellings in my upper abdomen of fullness and winded, it feels like ive been puntched in the stomach and it gives me goosebumps all over,it lasts between half an hour to 45 imns,is this comman for chronic ibs? joanne
Hi Joanne. Since you are a known patient of chronic IBS, it is possible that you are having more stress and / or anxiety at the moment. This is the most important cause of increase in your symptoms of feeling of full in the upper abdomen and feeling wind. The feeling of abdomen being punctured and goosebumps all over can be due to intestinal infection. I would advise you the following :Take a 5-day course of an antibiotic, metronidazole. Continue probiotic for a long time. Stop all the foods and beverages that increase your problems. Control of the stress / anxiety by yoga, naturotherapy or medicines if needed. If there is no response go for the investigations of the blood, urine, stool, colonoscopy and CT scan of the abdomen to find or to rule out any probable causes of your problems.

hi having a problem the last 2 weeks with lower feet,legs and ankles swollen ,there are red spots and there are hot to the touch...also much fatigue and ulcers on the tongue...Dr checked for blood clots .there were none and gave me keflex...but no help
Hi, swelling in dependent part of body is sign of edema, and that along with rash or spots, could well be an indicator of viral infection, watch for fever and myalgic, as well as any other associated symptoms. Ulcers on tongue could be due to deficiency of some water-soluble vitamins, like it C And B. taking supplements with multi vitamins can help to some extent.

Hi Doc, I am 30yrs male & diagnosed with Typhoid, and my liver & spleen shows mild enlargement too. It s almost 9 days now i m on antibiotics. From the last 3 days there is absolute no fever and i am feeling much better (still on antibiotic & multi vitamins ). Just slight headache and pain in the eyes... Is it ok if i consume alcohol in limit? regards _AJ
Welcome to Chat Doctor! You must avoid alcohol till you recover completely. The fact that your liver and spleen are enlarged due BTO typhoid that means these organs are already diseased and on top of this if you consume alcohol whatever may be the quantity and quality it may be causing more harm to your liver. Besides, there are certain antibiotics used in the treatment of typhoid which may interact with alcohol producing toxic reactions. So, in view of the above-mentioned harmful effects, refrain from taking alcohol. Take care of your precious health.

Dear Dr, I masturbate quite regularly and I am 16 years old, I have done it for a couple of years. Recently I have been getting chest pains, not that painful but mildly sharp, also recently I get random testicle aches however I have checked and I have no lumps and the testes aren t soft, they still have hard foundations, should I be worried that I have cancer or any serious illness? I am characteristically paranoid about things quite often, I just want to know if I am well

hello i went to the doctor recently because of pain in my bottom right side of abdominal which the doctor thinks it may be endometriosis because ive been in so much pain. She saw a liquid filled sac really small that shes watching to see if its a cyst or not, or to see what happens. She did a ultrasound to take a better look and whatever was on the right side is gone but something on the left which shes watching. I still have really bad pain on the right only when i come on my menstraul and it lingers for a couple days after. Do you think this could be endometriosis. I also have noticed throught this that my cheeks on the inside of my mouth look swollen and i have looks like white patches on the gums and cheeks. The grey came first which looks like a line in the cheek. Also in the left corner of my mouth seems like there is irritation there sometimes. I do have some work that needs to be done on my teeth which the dentist said one tooth cannot be saved and the other tooth could but its also decaying also. So do you think that could be because of the bad teeth in my mouth?
Hi Brownappril, The problems you are describing as pain on the left side of your stomach can be because of many reasons. Endometriosis can the one of the important cause. Depending upon the pain description that you have more pain during the period, it shows that the chances of endometriosis is there, and it needs to be taken care. Now depending upon the severity of pain and duration of this problem and other investigation you can be prescribed some hormonal medications which can help to control this endometriosis and can regress this condition. Most of the time medication is sufficient to treat the condition, but some time other intervention may be required. In the meantime you also have to work up with the USG finding of cyst which may be the cause of the pain and after proper examination and investigation only something can be decided. The other problem of your oral cavity can be because of the problem which is because of the decaying tooth. I would suggest you to have consultation with your dentist at the earliest so that other complication associated with decaying tooth can be prevented and in the meantime try to maintain proper oral hygiene.

### INSTRUCTION: If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. ### Question: hello i went to the doctor recently because of pain in my bottom right side of abdominal which the doctor thinks it may be endometriosis because ive been in so much pain. She saw a liquid filled sac really small that shes watching to see if its a cyst or not, or to see what happens. She did a ultrasound to take a better look and whatever was on the right side is gone but something on the left which shes watching. I still have really bad pain on the right only when i come on my menstraul and it lingers for a couple days after. Do you think this could be endometriosis. I also have noticed throught this that my cheeks on the inside of my mouth look swollen and i have looks like white patches on the gums and cheeks. The grey came first which looks like a line in the cheek. Also in the left corner of my mouth seems like there is irritation there sometimes. I do have some work that needs to be done on my teeth which the dentist said one tooth cannot be saved and the other tooth could but its also decaying also. So do you think that could be because of the bad teeth in my mouth? ### Answer: Hi Brownappril, The problems you are describing as pain on the left side of your stomach can be because of many reasons. Endometriosis can the one of the important cause. Depending upon the pain description that you have more pain during the period, it shows that the chances of endometriosis is there, and it needs to be taken care. Now depending upon the severity of pain and duration of this problem and other investigation you can be prescribed some hormonal medications which can help to control this endometriosis and can regress this condition. Most of the time medication is sufficient to treat the condition, but some time other intervention may be required. In the meantime you also have to work up with the USG finding of cyst which may be the cause of the pain and after proper examination and investigation only something can be decided. The other problem of your oral cavity can be because of the problem which is because of the decaying tooth. I would suggest you to have consultation with your dentist at the earliest so that other complication associated with decaying tooth can be prevented and in the meantime try to maintain proper oral hygiene. Hope this will help you. Thanks

Hello I am a female 39 yesrs old. I went to the cardiologist because i had a screening called a valvescan done at my ob dr. the results suggested i had a valve obstruction (i had the screening redone and it came out normal the second time.) I had already gone to the cardiologist before the second screening. My ecg said nonspecific abnormality present. I dont know what to think of that. what does thst mean?? the dr. said it was all normal. he did reccomend a stress test and an ultrasound. had high cholesterol a couple of years ago because i was overweight. i have not had high cholesterol in the last 2 years. and i am not overweight anymore. so in other words my question is what can a nonspecific abnormality mean? thabk you
Sometimes the ECG machine interprets falsely. So better not to trust machine and believe your doctor what he says. most of the time the ECG pattern is all normal then also machine interpretation is vague one. So all you have to do is have faith in the doctor.

Hello! Welcome to Chat Doctor! It sounds like your daughter has a virus. To be honest, her fever is a good thing because we know her body is trying to fight off a nasty virus. I know it's not fun to see her sick, but her body is doing what it needs to. The medications you are giving sound like a good match. A cold virus can last several weeks. To be more thorough, a fever associated with a cold can last for up to 3 days. The nasal congestion can last up to 10-14 days as well as the cough. When your little girl has a fever, we don't want to turn it off with medication. The main goal is to keep her comfortable so only give the fever reducer if her fever is above 102. Of course, you can give it for other cold symptoms such as body aches and sore muscles. Give her plenty of fluids to keep her HY Chat Doctor. Hopefully your daughter will start to feel better soon!

I have felt lightheaded on and off for the past hour, especially when standing up and moving. My hands are also going numb and feel like they re trying to clench up against my will. I had a heavy amount of salt in soup broth a few hours ago on a pretty empty stomach and don t know if this is due to my salt intake or not. I m also on medication that does cause lightheadedness but I ve been on the medication for nearly a week and was on the medication years ago and have never experienced this reaction. I m currently having a lot of water (I m on my second glass) and the lightheadedness and hand numbness/clenching is starting to go away, but I m also sitting and as I said before, these symptoms only occur when I stand or am moving, not when I m sedentary. Please help!
Hello, Thanks for posting this question in ChatDoctorThe description of lightheaded feelings you have given suggest a possibility of postural hypo tension. I will request you to check the blood pressure in supine and standing position to know this. Once this is established, you need to meet a local physician to find out the cause for the same. Mostly this may be medicine related. Your Chat Doctor. Taking lot of water may not help Hope this clarifies

i am 25 year old. i have kidney stone (left side 4 mm and right side 4.5 mm) before 2 year now ,i have fever and in urine test found 8 pus cells and calcium oxalate(few) Jut today in sonography test now i have 4mm stone in left kidney. 4.5 mm stone has been passed via urine. So this fever can be occur due to kidney stone.? Thank You in advance
Hello., History noted, it's good that you have passed one stone. Kidney stone can cause urinary infection and in turn fever if that stone has caused obstruction to your urinary pathway. Since the sonography report does not show any obstruction, your urinary infection and kidney stones are co-incidental. Kindly consume a minimum of 3 liters a day regularly to wash out your stones as well as infection. Also take antibiotics as advice by your physician. Good day.

Can the dietary supplement Lean EFX cause mouth sores? I have been taking it for ten days. It causes dry mouth so I am constantly drinking water. About three or four days ago I got a sore on my gums and swollen taste buds on the tip and side of my tongue. Today the entire tip of my tongue began to hurt and have a numb feeling. Very painful and hard to eat anything. I expect this will all go away in a couple days but I am wondering if it is from the Lean EFX. Any ideas???
Hi Dear, Welcome to Chat Doctor. Understanding your concern. As per your query you have Chat Doctor.

Hi! I ve had bronchitis for the past week. I ve been to the doctor twice and put on antibiotics but now I have a sharp, stabbing pain on my left side. When I m sitting still it doesn t really hurt but if I cough, sneeze, take a deep breath, or turn I feel that bad pain. What is it and what cand I do?
Hi, Since you were suffering from bronchitis, the most likely cause of this pain is pleurisy(inflammation of pleura/lining of lungs). We also need to rule out any cardiac cause of pain. You might need evaluation in form of Complete Blood Counts, ESR, Chest X-ray and ECG. You can take painkillers for symptom relief and continue antibiotics. In case your symptoms persist, or you develop fever, then kindly consult your treating doctor, who can arrange for the above investigations. Hope it helps.

Hi. I am a 19 year old female who just had a pap smear result come back to me, and it states that i have yeast infection and atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance and that I possibly have low risk HPV. I was wondering: can I use echinacea tea to help my body fight the yeast, squous cells and potential HPV? I am going to use Celestial Seasonings Echinacea Complete Care Welness Tea, as I was also wondering: am I even old enough to consume echinacea?
Hello. You're consuming the echinacea is fine--no harm in that, and it can help boost your immune system function.

My 7 month old baby has started to develop dark veins around his cheeks and mouth today and I am concerned that they have only appeared within the day and haven t disappeared. He has veins around his forehead and the bridge of his nose that have been prominant since birth but these have only just appeared today and do not appear to be bruising. Please can you advise?Kind regards.
Hi.sometimes due to ambient temperature the veins in the skin can become prominent and these are called, status marmots. These will go off the moment the ambient temperatures raise or if the infant is moved over to a warmer environment. I suggest you try this and if not improved, kindly consult your pediatrician.

sir, i am 30 yrs male. i have UTI since last month that is detailed below. HOPI; i developed DYSURIA with pain in urethra 1 month ago that was abrupt in onset, continuous. After 14 days of dusuria i developed BILATERAL TESTICULAR PAIN, BILATERAL EPIDIDYMIS PAIN more on right side, mild to moderate in nature, continuous, not relived by pain killers. there is also bilateral inguinal areas pain, suprapubic heaviness and mild lowback pain. I have no sexual contact hx now. PAST HX; dysuria and testicular pain for 2 wks--------- 2yrs back but that time i had sexual contact and PROSTATIC SECRETIONS for Gram Stain showed Diplococci. I took Ceftriaxone 1gm IV for 5 days and Doxycycline 100mg for 10 days and i got improved. INVESTIGATIONS; presently all my inv r clear e.g. urine analysis and culture, semen for gram stain and culture, prostate secretions for culture r all negative. DRUGS; 15 days back i took Ceftriaxone 2gm IV stat and Azithromycin 1gm oral stat but not improved. then my Urologist prescribed me Tab Doxycycline 100mg BD, Tab Enoxacin 400mg BD, Brufen for pain. I am taking these drugs since last 12 days and has improved 40% but i am not feeling completely well. I am severely depressed as my diagnosis is not clear yet. wether it is reactivation of previous infection, or it is chronic prostatitis or epididymitis. plz guide me and tell me a dx and management plan. thanking you
Hi, As first you have to complete your antibiotic course according to your doctor’s advice as it is important to eradicate the infection fully. In my opinion get Ultrasound abdomen and X-ray PUB done, to rule out urinary retention (as cause of recurrent infection) and stone in kidney, ureter or bladder system, then you can further discuss with your doctor. Regards, Chat Doctor.
