Hello! About a year ago I had pannik attack and the doctor prescribe Zoloft and Tafil. I did the treatment for 6 months and felt good. Now I feel like sometimes I can not swallow, I am eating less and I tray tio eat only soft food. am I having panik attacks again?

Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor, In your query you have not mentioned whether you are still continuing medication or not. I hope you eye on medications which can be tapered slowly before stopping with regular follow up from a qualified psychiatrist. Experiencing mild difficulty in swallowing once in a while do not appear to be a part of panic attack. Maintain good food, adequate HY Chat Doctor. So as far as I can see, there is nothing in you that you should be worried of. Hope I have answered your queries. Feel free to write if you need further clarifications. Get well soon.

hy dr plz tel me about my health my age is20 yrs and i was married in9august2010 i took medicine for concieving a baby after2months of my marriage first 2month dr gave me medicine but i was not pregnant then she gave me inj hmg massone this time again i was not pregnat in jan 2011 my husband went abroad and after that medicine i hve pain in lower abdomen i m so confuse why there is no pregnancy and pain if there are side effect of medicine and now what i have to do
|
I think you are misguided about your complaint. There is no need of treatment for pregnancy in just 2 months of marriage. Also, you say that your husband went abroad, and you take treatment for pregnancy. Why? Primary thing is to live both of you together for at least 1 year. Your problem will solve without any treatment. If not than go to doctor. Please stop all the medicine you are taking. Hormonal in can give rise to pain in pelvic region.

Hi I have had a tooth removed about 4 weeks ago because it had a abscess under it but now the Swelling has come back on the underside of my jaw bone and is getting bigger there is no signs of tooth pain just a warm feeling on side of face and this large rock hard lump growing under my left jaw line What should I do
|
Hello, Please schedule a follow-up visit with your dentist. This may be a cellulitis as a result of the original infection. A pocket of pus may be trapped. Healing of the socket needs to be evaluated. This may be a reaction from a cyst or lymph node or the sublingual salivary gland may be a source. Further diagnosis most likely will require prescription antibiotics and a possible incision with Chat Doctor. I recommend ad

Semen analysis, low sperm mortality level, CoQ Forte capsules, side effects hello doctors, i have done my semen analysis and doctor advised to increase motility level and she prescribed CoQ Forte capsules. do we have any side effects due to this tablet?

Hello and. As a Urologist, let me advise you, that COQ forte does have side effects. The common side effects are nausea, omitting, rashes and stomach upsets.

the muscle on the right jaw is tightening up. I cant close my mouth very easily and although it is a big discomfort, it does not kill me by any means. I also have a sore throat and wondered why everytime I get a sore throat (Strep) does this happen. I dont know that I have strep yet though.Any thoughts?
|
Hi Dear, Welcome to Chat Doctor. Understanding your concern. As per your query you have sore throat and tightening in jaw both of them are related as temporomandibular joint disorder occurs due to problems with the jaw joint, and it can lead to pain in jaw, ear and the temple region that is side of head. It leads to problem in sinuses which is causing sore throat to you. I don't think you have symptoms of strep. You should do facial stretching exercises. You should visit oral physician once and get it examined. Get Orthopantomogram done to check joint positioning. Do warm saline gargles several times a day. You should take combination of levocetrizine along with amoxicillin for 3-5 days. You should visit ENT specialist once and get it examined. Avoid cold carbonated beverages. Maintain hygiene rinsing with antimicrobial mouth wash. Hope your concern has been resolved. Get Well Soon. Best Wishes,

Hi thanks for using Chat Doctor When a CKD patient develops breathing difficulty, it cannot be always asthma .CKD patient can have fluid overload and this can cause breathing. Along with Renal problem associated Cardiac problem also will be there. Do an ECHO Cardiogram and look for the pumping capacity of the Heart. Proper diuretics can help both the conditions can also try inhalation bronchodilators and this can help. Ideally a PFT (pulmonary function test) has to be done. Thank you .....

I was in a recent car accident and I remember when I got out of the car, I slipped but a firefighter caught my arm and I didn t fall to the ground. I keep thinking I had a muscle spasm in the bottom of my foot, which I am more prone to get. A week later the bottom of my heel still hurts with certain pressure on it. ????
|
Hi, It is quite possible that you had an ankle sprain during being pulled out from the car. Use painkillers, ankle brace and local heat for about 2-3 weeks. If it does not heal by then MRI will be required. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Chat Doctor.

I had neck surgery and after surgery moved to room my blood pressure was an issue. The doctor ended up keeping me overnight. Had TEE performed and blood pressure dropped to 76/52 and reparations were noted as 12. This is from the medical records. Could this be an reaction to the anesthetic?
|
Hello! Welcome and thank you for asking on Chat Doctor! I passed carefully through your question and would explain that low blood pressure could be related to different possible causes: - anesthesia adverse effects-anemia from bleeding during surgery- deny Chat Doctor. Coming to this point, I would recommend having some rest and taking plenty of water in the next days. Hope you will find this answer helpful! Wishing good health,

I used dip(tobacco) twice the other day in which I by the way do not dip all the time like once a year I buy a can and em up giving it away after a few dips. Back to the other day, when I got home from work, about 4 hours after last dip of tobacco, I went to brush my teeth and such an notice my gums were black/ very dark purple. What causes this? Is it serious? Been afraid to use the tobacco product since.
|
Hi , Thanks for asking the query, Use of tobacco can lead to many diseases of gums like leukoplakia , erytholeukoplakia, and benign malignant lesions . It causes hazardous effects and I suggest you to quit the habit. Get a checkup done by the Dentist . Take an OPG x-ray to know the condition of the underlying bone. Get complete mouth scaling and polishing done. Take tab becomes OD for 30 days. Use warm water gargles 3-4 times a day. Further treatment will be decided on visual and radiological examination of the lesion . Discuss this with your dentist. Hope this helps out. Regards...

i have precordial catch syndrome and the pain in my side usually doesnt last for more than a few hours but this pain has been lasting for three. Its a constant pain on the left side by my heart. Ive tried taking deep breaths, both slow and fast but nothing is working. Ive also taken advil and ive been stretching but that doesnt seem to be working either. Do you have any suggestions?
|
It's better if you mention your age and duration since when you have suffering. Precordial Catch syn Chat Doctor. However of you have found no relief in spite of stretching exercises and adv it's better to get a cardiac reevaluation done. If it yields negative you can try to observe aggravating factors and avoid it. Many patients respond well to application of ice pack sand gentle physiotherapy

Diagnosed w Bactrial pnemonia on Oct.28,2014(I waited to go to ER for about 1.5 weeks got sick:Oct. 18, 2014). Was given *Levoflaxacin*500 mg for 7 days & gallon of IV fluids & pain med. Wasn t any better. Went back on 11/08/14 said it was gone. IV fluids/anxiety med... By than in bed for 3+ weeks. Went to my PCP on 11/17/14 and she said no u still have it. So now 750 mg *Levoflaxacin* & pain med... Lost 27 lbs so far...And I m stil in bed stomach cramps/fatigue/insomnia/ shortness of breath( not as bad)/dehydrated/ache all over/ bad headache/nausea. *CBC*: RBC=2.97mg HCT =L 30% MCH=H 32.1 HGB=L 9.9g/dc PLT=H 548 k/ul MON%= H 9.8% ( rest on CBC normal). *CMP*: K=L 3.1 GLU=H 108 Creatine=H 1.09 CA= L 86 ALB= L 3.0 NA= L 131 mmo/c...(H=high L=low). After all that...no energy what so ever!! I took all antibiotic and still am losing weight/no appetite & trying to force fluids. I m 5 10 & now 123lbs. It s been just over a week since last went in. I m 50 yrs old. Do blood results look just alright? Pnemonia should be gone. If so, how long to recover. 6-7 weeks in bed is no good. Should I go back again. I m tired of this-just want another opinion on what more I can do. Thank u and sorry for the novel. Coleen

Hello dear, thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your situation and problem. In my opinion you should definitely consult pulmonologist and get done1. Chest x-ray repeat.2. CT thorax if needed.3. Sputum culture and sensitivity4. Sputum examination for AFB. Repeat chest x-ray is needed to rule out position of your pneumonia, means it is decreasing or static or worsening. CT thorax will be more informative if x-ray is inconclusive. Since you are having ongoing weight loss, tuberculosis must be rule out as a cause for your pneumonia. Ideal way to treat pneumonia is by isolating the causative organism and start appropriate antibiotics according to sensitivity report. This will avoid haphazard use of antibiotic and prevent Chat Doctor. So better to first consult pulmonologist and discuss all these.

|
Hi there, For the cough to fully get away from your system, it takes at least 2 -3 weeks. You have already finished your course of antibiotics, levofloxacin, I presume. I would suggest you Chat Doctor. Do steam inhalation 3-4 times a day. You might also want to sign up for yoga classes, which will help reduce your allergies. Hope this helps.

I was in bed with my husband and more then 4 times in 2 weeks he was saying he had the taste of bad apples and very bad chest pains. He works in concert and has been doing so for about 20 years.He works very hard ,his father just pasted away from a heart attack. Should I be worried?
|
Hi thanks for contacting us.... Noted he is having chest pain... He works very hard ... So here it seems musculoskeletal pain... Advise him for take rest for few days. Analgesic can be given. Hot compress applied. Avoud movements causing pain. Physiotherapy for chest wall muscles stretching exercise useful.... Avoid hard work for few days. If pain radiating to arms then cardiac cause like ischemic heart disease rule out by ECG or ECHO. Take care. Chat Doctor.

Im on Tegretol XR for seizures. I take (2) 200 mg tablets twice daily. I am having pressure in my left eye, a rash on my chest and neck, feeling extremely tired all the time. I think that my level is too high. The last level that was taken I was told that it was 10.4. That is high but they did nothing to change it and now things seem to be getting worse. What should I do?
|
Hi, you are on regret SR for seizures, you got pressure in left eye, rash on the chest and neck, tired all the time. The thing you have to look is whether seizures are controlled or not, it depends upon when did you start the tablets, and when did you get the pain and rash. If both are apart, don't worry, you can consult a physician for treatment. If started immediately after starting the tablets consult your doctor for change of the Chat Doctor. Thank you.

my mother was recently hospitalized with a recurring bout of C-Diff that she acquired while in a rehab facility being treated for osteomyalitis on her foot due tonow, her a diabetic pressure wound. While in the hospital, she received a large amount of fluids by IV at one point the IV in her arm was infiltrated. She swelled up and now her arm is continually weeping. Is there anyway to stop this?

Hi, There is excess accumulation of fluids in her body. Please get her admitted in a nearby hospital for proper fluid management. If not, it could land up in trouble. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

I am 64 year old mail. 2 years ago I had a green light laser procedure for an enlarged prostate. I still have some urine retention, which my doctor said is normal, but have noticed the past 3 days a twitching near my left kidney area. There is no pain, but wonder what is causing it
|
Thank you for asking! Age of 64 has its geriatric limitations. Twitching is quite a vague term to explain what's going on. A procedure 2 years back does not look like to be connected here anyhow. Try some acetaminophen and skeletal muscle relaxants like relaxing or tizanidine and if the symptoms persist seek the nearby physician and let them sort out after detailed history and physical examination. Take care

Hi, I am a 38 yr old woman with 2 kids, suffering from PMDD. I approached several gynecologists and no one could really understand my problem nor help. When I say PMS (since many dont understand PMDD term), all I get is "oh its normal" , take B6, take it easy, keep your mind occupied, take up a job etc kind of responses. My family might pretty soon break if I dont get help. I get uncontrollable anger, crying for hours for no reason, yell, edgy. My whole personality changes. Once the period starts I am back to normal. I become like this every month about one week to 10 days before my period starts. After period starts, I am so exhausted by all this, start feeling miserably guilty. On the whole, half of my life is spent feeling miserable. I quit jobs, I am loosing on my relationships with husband, kids, I have terrible guilt. I am desperate for help now. Pl advice. I live in India, Hyderabad. Any doctors in Hyderabad who can treat this condition? Any other suggestions? Pl help.
|
Hello, You will feel better with desvenalafaxine 25-100 mg, daily. The response usually starts coming in pms with in few days...one need to complete one menstrual cycle to know its effect or if there is a need to increase Chat Doctor. I have seen many such patients in our poly clinic where the gynecologists refer them to me when there is no response to multivitamins and symptoms are troublesome. Also getting TSH level and Sr. It. B12 will help to make situation more clear. I also advice the females to see if they can stop OC pills (if they are on them) & use other modes of contraception. Good luck

Hi, as you mentioned your symptoms, your work style and your age, I could sense something here is the stress. You have stress of work all the time may be, then since you may be working on a computer for a long time your spinal muscles must have gone weaker, also your metabolism must have slowed down. What I can advise you to do regular physical exercise, breathing exercise and meditation. This all three when applied together will assist to remove your weakness and tiredness. If you have further query can contact meRegardsJay In Chat Doctor.

My 4 year old got a skin infection on her arm after a bug bite. The swelling and redness are gone since she has been on antibiotics but the skin is crusty where she was bit and where she scratched when her arm was swollen. The area that was previously swollen is also a little darker then the rest of her skin in that area. What can I put on the skin to make it softer and heal nicely?
|
Thanks for posting your query at Chat Doctor. Please do not worry as it is nothing unusual. Apply some calamine lotion (available in brand names like call Chat Doctor. ) or any other moisturizing lotion like aloe vera and things should be fine in no time. If there is some itchiness still present, you may give him some antiallergics. I hope that helps. Feel free to revert in case of further queries.

Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ? Please type your query here...i have been on altace and hydroclorizade for years recently a failure to take the meds which sometimes were needed and sometimes not resulted in a rise of blood pressure from the 130/90 to 184/115 which was felt as highblood pressure new meds were given after a hospital visit and a visit to a regular doctor the balance problem which is not visible to others after trying to stand still in the same spot for a few minutes has not has not gone away and the blood presuure towards the later part of the day has not been lowered below 150 or 160 /95 yet it is at this time that the balance issue seems to be felt and can high blood pressure cause a minor balance problem while trying to stand in one place a mri and a cat scan were done without anything showing will the problem likly go away with additional meds every 12 hours
|
Hi, If you are having symptoms of high blood pressure & taking medications, you are recommended to have a thorough cardiac checkup (Lipid function tests, ECG, Echocardiography, CBC, MRI, CT). High blood pressure does not cause co-ordination problems or headaches, these are side effects of some medications taken for hypertension. Co-ordination problems, loss of balance, sudden dizziness may lead to syncope or stroke. Get physically examined, evaluated & treated without much delay. Balancing problems occur in hypertensive crises (180/120), if you have it, you need medical attention. Get connected to your treating physician. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

my son was riding a scooter when he fell the handle bar hit his chest, this was about three days agos and is still complaining of chest pain. The bruise where the handle bar hit him is no longer there and there is no visible bruising or anyhting to show any trauma what should i do?
|
This type of pain occurs on hitting your rib on a hard object. The external pain usually vanishes in a short while but the rib contusion takes longer and may need oral analgesics like diclofenac, tramadol etc.

My 16 year old son jumped from a height of 5 feet and hurt his heels. X-ray reveals a displaced fracture of his left calcanean. I was informed that his arch is also damaged causing flatfoot. My question is, is surgery necessay? without surgery, will the heels heal without chronic pain in hte future? Thanks.
|
Hello, As mentioned in history that x-ray reveals the displaced fracture then I would say surgery should be of choice. If treated conservatively than chances of malformation or non-uniform healing is higher. So this might lead to changes in gait (walking pattern) and may lead to other joints in trouble. Also, due to non-uniform healing chances will be he will have on/off pain in the region and trouble other joints. Hope you take the right call. But my advice will be to opt for surgery. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Jay In Chat Doctor.

### Answer: Hello, As mentioned in history that x-ray reveals the displaced fracture then I would say surgery should be of choice. If treated conservatively than chances of malformation or non-uniform healing is higher. So this might lead to changes in gait (walking pattern) and may lead to other joints in trouble. Also, due to non-uniform healing chances will be he will have on/off pain in the region and trouble other joints. Hope you take the right call. But my advice will be to opt for surgery. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Jay In Chat Doctor.

Hello, I m a 27 year old male. I am active and eat right. I felt 100% last night before bed, but when I woke up during the middle of the night, I had a high fever and full body aches. Upon waking up in the morning, I felt slightly better and took advil, which allowed me to function until about Noon. The fever turned to chills and my skin was really sensitive. This lessened as the day progressed. I felt better after taking a nap, but the fever and aches still persist. I also have a great deal of difficulty eating food in this condition. I don t feel like I m going to vomit, but I do feel queasy, even when eating light foods. I can drink water without issue, to the point where my urine is clear. A brief search based on my symptoms pointed to a viral infection or a tick bite. I have not been close to tall grass or wooded areas in at least the last month. The viral symptoms don t exactly match up either. My throat is not sore, and my sinuses are not congested.

Hello. I think you might just have a viral infection like the flu. You can go to your private GP or medical doctor, and you might have your blood extracted for your blood count. How is your urination? No problems like pain or change in color or blood? A urinary tract infection can also be a possibility even without urinary symptoms as mentioned, so a urine test can be requested.

I had major back surgery 3 weeks ago. At the time right before surgery and after I noticed increased swelling in my sides, stomach and reaching to the back. I thought it might be due to recurring kidney stones coming down, but CT scan shows stones in kidneys but not coming down. Said probably from surgery. Others say no. It is getting worse. Can t eat. No room for food. Bile comes up in throat. I look pregnant so swollen and it is painful, especially at night. I ve been to ER last week for this, primary care doctor, etc. I can t just run to surgeon that did back surgery. He s in another state. I see my urologist on 24th. Don t know if I can wait till then since so painful. Any ideas?
|
Hello, What surgery you have undergone? Stone may not cause bloating of stomach. Bloating may be due to gas or feces or fluid, or it may be due to food. So get it done ultrasound abdomen and use tablet Nexpro-l one table before breakfast for one week. Avoid spicy food and alcohol. If symptoms not improved please consult with your surgeon he will examine and treat you accordingly. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care

My skin is indented on my right upper buttocks, and lower back. At first, I thought it was a bruise, but it wasnt healing after 3 weeks or so. It was not until today that I noticed the large indent. Moreover, I thought I pulled my groin, or potentially pulled some hip muscle, because that it what it feels like. However, I am a long distance runner, and I havent been bothered by it when running. What could this be?
|
Hi, I don't want you to be worried because this is common and if it is symptomless and doesn't cause any pain or muscular spasm or increase in mass. Usually it is present but not seen or felt except by luck. Its cause is unknown mainly inherited or congenital. Rarely, sacral dimples are associated with a serious underlying abnormality of the spine or spinal cord. Examples include: Spina bifida - A very mild form of this condition, called spina bifida occult, occurs when the spine doesn't close properly around the spinal cord, but the cord remains within the spinal canal. For simple sacral dimple may not need any kind of treatment. Hope the above information helps you. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Sir, I am 44 years old, I have done full body checkup. Every thing is ok, but my blood test show low calcium 8.3mg/dL and high cholestrol 219mg/dL, triglycerides 176mg/dL, HDL 32mg/dL, LDL 140mg/dL. My doctor suggest two tab CALTEN-D 1250mg and lipikind-10. Is it OK.pls. suggest.
|
Canton D is Contains calcium and vitamin D, you can take it for your low calcium, though low calcium does not always suggest deficiency of calcium, but as it is a supplement no harm in taking for a short while, do not take it longer than 6 months with evaluation. As it F toxicity is known n off. As for your lipid profile, the results are on higher side though not something you should be really worried of. If you have no risk factors o would suggest lifestyle modifications, life cutting oil/fat in your diet, substitution with healthy oil like olive, supplements like omega 3 fatty acid flax seeds and otherwise. RPT lipid profile after 3 months and if still higher than start a medication for it, in my practice I have seen patients becoming complacent when they see the cholesterol coming down with meds and make no effort to change their unhealthy lifestyle. We have to understand cholesterol is not the only risk factor for all future problems of blood pressure, heart problems, stroke, diabetes and changing overall will help. Also, if we follow guidelines, it is not prudent to start limiting at your test s when there is no other risk factor. Regards Chat Doctor.

I started working at a Wastewater Treatment Plant 4 months ago. Around a month and a half ago, a piece of wire that was in influent wastewater stuck my finger through my latex gloves. Our treatment plant handles wastewater from the local prison. Around 3 weeks ago I started having pain in my right side. I thought it was from shoveling. I havent been shoveling since then, and the pain continued and now has expanded from the right side to the right front of my abdomen just below my ribcage. It is tender when I push below my ribs and it feels like something is pushing on everything around that area. I started with what I thought was a chest cold a week and a half ago, and now I started in with hives head to toe 4 days ago. Ive kept the hives down somewhat with Benadryl, but I have a huge loss of energy, still rattly cough, and the swelling (which I believe is my liver) hasnt gone down at all. My worry is that I may have contracted Hepatitis or some other form of disease/parasite from work. Ive looked a lot online, and it looks like I have 90% of the HepA symptoms but am not jaundiced. I know ultimately I will need to go get checked out locally, but am curious as to what your opinion on the situation is.

Hello1) yes you need to do hepatitis profile for hepatitis A, B and C2) you also need USG of abdomen to find any structural changes in liver which can be seen in parasitic infection3) you also need liver function test to be done to check level of bilirubin, liver enzymes4) It is nit necessary to develop severe jaundice in mild hepatitis as it affect liver function mildly, there might be only elevation of liver enzymes only5) sometimes, stones in gall bladder also produce similar symptoms but it doesn't case development of generalized symptoms i.e. weakness, loss if energy or tiredness, mild fever

I m male, 90 years old. For about four weeks I have had discomfort behind my left knee about two inches below the joint. At times it feels like the knee will give out but it never does. Ice bags for 20 minutes help but it has not gone away. There is no swelling, no redness, nor is the area warm. I have no recollection of an injury. I walk for about 40 minutes 5 times per week and while it is uncomfortable I can do it with only a slight limp.
|
Hi, Consult an orthopedic and get evaluated. As of now, you can take analgesics like Diclofenac or Tramadol for pain relief. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

yesterday when I woke up I noticed very , soft little bumps very close together and a lot of them, on the roof of my mouth, today they have spread to the inside of my cheek and lower lip. do you know what this could be? when I rub them with my tongue, it almost feels like powder. pretty weird.. Ill going to the doc this week but just ant to know if its serious. Thanks
|
Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query. The bumps at the roof of the mouth could be because of the herpes zoster infection caused by herpes virus. IT produces multiple vesicles over the palate buccal mucosa and lip. Consult an oral physician and get your self to rule out the herpes infection. If it is herpes infection then start immediately with antiviral Chat Doctor. You can use topical anesthetic and analgesics like Anabel gel to reduce the pain. I hope my answer will help you, take care.

I am 5 weeks pregnant and was on 50 mg eltroxin for a month(since dec4 2010 to jan 3rd 2011)I had a check of TSH hormone on 3rd.Both T3 and T4 levels were in the normal range.so my physician asked me to reduce the dosage to 25 mg.but my gynaec says that throxine requirement is more during pregnancy..just confused as to wether i should continue with 50 mg or 25 mg?
|
Hi, The range of TSH to be followed for pregnancy is different from in non-pregnant women. The normal values for first three months of pregnancy is less than 2.5 mid/L, for the last six months of pregnancy is 3.0 mid/L. For, the non-pregnant it is 4.5 mid/L. So everything depends on your present TSH levels if they are below 2.5 then you can take 25 mg of thyroxine, but if they are above 2.5, I would advise you to take 50 mg. High TSH values have shown to affect the pregnancy, and it is advisable to keep levels in the range described above. Hope this helps. Regards.

I am a 66 year old female suffering from a chronic itching with a rash. I have had this condition for approx. 8 weeks. I have tried many OTC remedies including calamine lotion, allegra, etc. I have also tried a 10 day dosage of Predasone 5mg without any relief. I have changed my laundry detergent and also discontinued certain prescription drugs temporarily. Nothing helps.

Hi, It may be lichen simplex chronic us most probably. Consult the dermatologist for the perfect diagnosis and proper treatment. If it is same as I said, I would recommend you to apply steroid cream like Clobetasol Propionate cream. And you should take steroid tablet in a tapering dose. If needed, an intradermal steroid injection may be taken. Take antihistamines like Loratadine. Avoid soap bath. Avoid dietary stuff like cows milk, fish, prawns, chicken, eggs, fermented food, nuts, soy products etc. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care.

I am experiencing fairly severe pain in my palate, right front tooth and up in to the septum. I had an xray done last week and the dentist did not express concern of any infection, but I am beginning to doubt that. I originally, about 3 weeks ago, thought it was a sinus infection and did 5 days of an antibiotic, but the pain is still present. Any other thoughts?
|
Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query. The pain in the palate, front tooth can be because of the tooth infection. Consult a good oral physician and get a radiograph done to confirm the diagnosis. Once the diagnosis is confirmed, the tooth can be treated with root canal treatment. If I am your treating doctor, I would have prescribed a course of antibiotics like amoxicillin and metronidazole you are not allergic). I hope my answer will help you, take care.

hi doctor.. i m 33y old .. after 8m of my marriage i had my 1st pregnancy .. but unfortunately after 1m and 14days(14.03.2011) i had an missed abortion .. now i am taking Clomifene and Aspirin tablets.what are the benefits of these tablets?please tell me. By Christy,Chennai,India.
|
Hi, Clomifene is useful in inducing ovulation (egg production) in women who do not produce ova (eggs) but wish to become pregnant (infertility). It causes eggs to develop in the ovaries and be released to get fertilized by the sperm in the uterus. Aspirin is useful to prevent unexplained stillbirth, recurrent miscarriages and pre-eclampsia. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Hi, I was in car accident in 2001. I had a large bruise and lump form on my outer left thigh. I had an MRI after the bruising healed to see why there was still a large lump. The doctor told me that it was not tissue damage and appeared to just be fatty tissue. But how can that be since it wasnt there before the accident and immediately formed after the accident?
|
Hi.lipoma (or fatty tissue deposit) can occur anywhere in the body, even if there's no triggering factor. It is best if you consult with a doctor, preferably a general surgeon, for clinical evaluation. If the lesion causes you discomfort and starts to bother you, it is best if you have it removed. Definitive management is excision biopsy of the lesion, along with antibiotic treatment. Hope this helps. Good day!!~ Chat Doctor.

Hi, I think I have an intolerance / allergy to lactose / dairy. However when I got the allergy testing done my results came back clear. I am feeling very confused. I got 5 blood samples taken within an hour and a half and had to drink a small bottle of lactose. My symptoms include: Bloating Stomach cramps Wind Migraines Rash on my skin Breakouts Lethargy Constipation followed by sever dihorrea.
|
I think you are suffering from lactose intolerance. Sometimes the lab tests may fail to detect that. Better u avoid milk and milk related products. That is the only specific treatment for lactose intolerance

i had my gallbladder removed in 2010 due to really sharp pains in my stomach, which they said i had major gallstones and blockage. well i am still having major pain and the no one can tell me what it is. they ruled out my appendix, and want me to go have a biliary tract ultrasound . what could be wrong with me, i can not get any answers from anyone. tyl9onal and ibprophen do not work for the pain and the doctors will not prescribe me anything saying they want to treat it not mask it whatever that means, but my pain is so bad at times i am literally bald up in a ball and can not breathe and feels like someone is taking sharp knifes and stabbing me in my right mid adomin and stomach ....what can i do for pain? please some one give me answers
|
Dear ...! Many thanks for the mail. I have gone through the details for your mail and could grasp its contents. The pain in your stomach may or may not be related to your gall stone operation. The causes in relation to your operation may be a stone in the common bile duct, a narrowing of the CBD, a stone in the cystic duct remnant etc... Cases unrelated to the operation include, chronic pancreatitis, ulcer disease, sphincter of Odd dysfunction etc. Either way you need to have some definite investigations before making a certain final diagnosis. Please see a gastroenterology physician and get going with the tests. Regards

My 20 year old son had a partial right lobectomy for a mio fibro blastic tumor.[non cancerous] he has developed asthma due to a reaction to his surgery. have you come across this before? one of his consultants put him on prednisolone and inhalers. two weeks later he went back to consultant and blew out half a litre more into the machine. hes hopeful this will go, but im not so sure. he is a non smoker.
|
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. In my opinion, he is mostly having bronchitis. Bronchitis is inflammation of airways. It is common after thoracic surgeries especially lung surgeries. It is because of handling of lungs with instruments during surgery. Furthermore, it is usually short-lived and recovered with steroid and inhaled bronchodilators (formoterol or albuterol). So continue with prednisone and inhalers. He will mostly improve with all these in 1-2 months. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your son. Thanks.

It s been about 9 months after acl reconstruction, I still a little bit pain, and i decide to go back to sport, and i fine out the back of my knee have bruise but while I practice it doesn t pain or knee pop, I don t know if its ok, and how do i know if i tear my acl again?
|
Hello, ACL reconstruction doesn't fail or break again until it's a major accident. So be assured you got the good ACL reconstruction. I will advise you to do balance board training as that is the one which helps the joint proprioception to be active and give good results out of the knee. Usually, this is missed out on the rehabilitation of the knee in many cases and most patients have similar complains after some months of ACL reconstruction. But in my clinical practice with balance board training as a last part of the training, we have been implementing on almost all patients who visit us in the last 12 years. Inline recommend you to undergo balance board training, and you will find amazing results. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Jay In Chat Doctor.

Hi, As has been going on for a couple of weeks, It cannot be attributed to the same food poisoning which might have occurred two weeks ago to your colleagues. I feel that this might be an acid reflux. I suggest you consult your pediatrician regarding this. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

How can I take to lose weight in the stomach area? I have hypothyroid, had a pituatoy tumor that was removed w/o being maligment, diagnosed w/breast cancer last July...but caught it early. I did not have to do chemo nor radiation. Only takes tamoxifen daily for 5 yrs. Please help!!!!!
|
Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor forum. As you describe it appears to be the hypothyroidism, which is causing the bulky stomach. As you are taking tamoxifen since 5 years, the uterus should be screened regularly, as it may cause the uterine cancer. I advise you to consult a gynecologist for diagnosis and treatment. You may need to have an M.R.I. for diagnosis. Avid taking fatty foods, junk foods, oily foods. Wishing for a quick and complete recovery. Thank you.

My father has terminal pancreatic cancer. They said he had 3-6 mths to live about 1 mth ago but since then he became severely dehydrated due to not being able to keep water down for 10 days. He then got a blood infection and they told us he would live days when he left hospital 10 days ago. He lives in Thailand and now me and my brother are his primary carers. We have been sent from hospital with bags of pills and very little advice. He is very weak and hardly gets out of bed now, he has 25mg morphine patch but today has needed more through tablet form. He is keeping a little water down and urinating however he is vomiting a lot of mucus which over the last 24hrs has turned a dark green colour. Can you please give me some advice as to how long you think he has left to live and also how many mg of morphine would be advised on top of his morphine patch? Thank you.
|
Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. Your father has terminal stage pancreatic cancer. So it is incurable now. What you are prescribed is only symptomatic treatment. Morphine is given in terminal stage cancer for pain relieving agent. Dose can be increased if your father has sever pain. Pancreatic cancer may cause obstruction in the intestine and may leads to bile containing green vomiting. Ondansetron is helpful in this kind of vomiting. Consult your doctor and take treatment accordingly. Hope I have answered your question, if you have any doubts then contact me at bit.ly/ Chat Doctor. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Wish you a very good health

I had 2 teeth side by side removed a week ago. Have stitches. The stitches and that area where tooth pulled healing well but I have a flap in my gums which is quite painful but worse is there may be some tooth left above the socket which feels like needles jabbing at my gums. A small hole broke the gums and releived it but only very little. When I bit down in gauze there was a pus like discharge... Infection? I have been rinsing with salty water though....
|
Hello:)Welcome to Chat Doctor. You seem to be developing an infection in the extraction socket. Although mild pain due to sutures is normal, pus oozing out is not a good sign. I suggest you to talk to your dentist reg. This. You can use warm salt water gargling thrice daily. Take the prescribed antibiotics and analgesics. Maintain a good oral hygiene. Regards.

Hi, I had a dry cough which lasted for 3 weeks before christmas (it cleared up when I decided to make a dr appointment). Anyway, the cough is back (for over a week now) it has been accompanied by loose stools, intermittent pain on left side of my chest. I am asthmatic and have been needing to use my reliever more frequently. I have also been vomiting - this is at least daily but not frequent, possibly a few times a day. I am getting tired and would appreciate any insight into what is causing these symptoms. I am female, 39 and smoke 15-20 cigs a day. thanks
|
Your symptom resemble legionnaires disease, you have to go for sputum examination as gram staining bacterial culture sensitivity and fungal staining and also urine antigen test for legionella, take chest X-ray PA also and stop smoking in between these days. Tab moxifloxacin 400 mg OD tab azithromycin 500 OD tab Able Sr 200 OD and your inhaler with good inhaler technique(watch YouTube for good technique)

|
Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor. As you have 1 stone 7 mm at the UV junction and an R. distal 8 mm. Stone, its best that you undergo an endoscopic lithography operation, using Laser or ultrasound. Both the stones can be treated in one session. The patients usually discharged the next day, if there are no complications like, fever, bleeding or any other medical problem.

I found out 12 yrs ago that I have only one kidney during an ultrasound for pancreatitis . I am 59 yr old female weight 122, 5 6 . Bp about 108/68 most of the time. I am scheduled to see a nephrologist in late may should I be on any kind of diet restrictions?i have never smoked but I drink one light beer a day

Hello, Thanks for posting your query. As you are having only one kidney, so your renal system is compromised. GFR is much reduced, and vitamin D deficiency and anemia are also related to kidney. You should watch their protein consumption to avoid taxing the kidneys as they heal. A low-cholesterol and low-saturated-fat diet is good. High-potassium foods such as bananas, kiwis, avocados, prunes and prune juice, tomato juice and sauce, nuts, Chat Doctor. Vitamin D and Calcium supplements would be helpful. Hope it helps. Take Care!

Hello, Thanks for posting your query. It is good that you are already doing your part in maintaining a healthy lifestyle. This is a very important aspect in the treatment of hormone imbalances. Further, since you are trying to conceive, you should go through the proper protocol of investigation. This includes a complete hormone assay, sonogram of the pelvis preferably in the trans-vaginal route, blood counts, tubal patency tests and urinalysis. Evaluation of the male partner also is important. Further management can be planned accordingly. Hope this helps.

Acutally im overweight and tall but feel like my penis is not that big plus that im still a virginSo feel little bit depressed and worried abt best postions for me to do and does the size matters or no ? To be more honest its around 5 to 6 cm in rest and around 14 to 16 in erect postion... The problem is that i have lots of fats around it ... So what do u think?!
|
Hi, You feel small size of your penis due to more deposition of fat on abdomen. Having size 14-16 Cm size when exact is quite good size, and you will satisfy your partner. Important is reduced your weight and particularly try to reduce fat from tummy. Go for abdominal recto muscle exercise daily. After removal of abdominal fat you will feel strong and lengthy penis. Avoid psychological fear and tension of the size. Ok and take care.

Hi,My Doctor has said that I have PCOD but nothing to worry. She asked me to take Metben 500mg twice a day ( morning and night) along with folic acid (night) till I get pregnant. My question is do I really have to take Metben TWICE a day till I get pregnant ? Can the dosage be reduced to 1 per day? What exactly is the purpose of Metben and does it have any side effects.

I have a lump on the left side of my neck. It is painless and does not seen to get bigger or smaller. I first noticed it about 18 months ago. 18 months ago i was into sleeping on my stomach (which I later found out could really strain your neck). After consistently sleeping on my stomach and therefore straining my neck, I started feeling pain and swelling on the left side of the neck (where the lump is now). Ever since then, i started sleeping normally and the pain is gone but the lump has remained. I am not sure if this is related but i think it is. The lump is painless and between my hairline and trapezius. It is also about an inch in length and width. I can only feel it when I bend my neck down and run my fingers through the area to massage it. It only moves when I massage it and lastly, whenever I would strain my back, it seemed to get worse for some reason. Should I be concerned??? Is there any possible treatments i could do to treat it??? Please help I am so desperate.

Welcome to Chat Doctor .1. First thing, lying on the stomach will not cause lumps in the neck, it may strain the muscles and cause pain. 2. The most possible cause is lymph nodal enlargement. (could be due to recent infection / underlying medical conditions and systemic causes)3. If you are my patient I would have examined and ask for an ultrasound neck to confirm the nature of the lump, its origin and extensions.4. Depending on the findings an FNAC - fine needle aspiration cytology will help in definitive diagnosis.5. And if any systemic causes - first treat the cause. Hope it helps you. Wish you a good health. Anything to ask ? Do not hesitate. Thank you.

8 months baby suffering from cold and dry cough for past 2 days. doctor prescribed defcort and respinil syrups along with mucolite and trifect which we are already providing. now he seems to be suffering from diarrhoea with flux, is this expected with the above medication?

Bi...usually antibiotics cause antibiotic associated diarrhea. But the above medications are not antibiotics. But all the medications in syrup formulation will have a sugary syrupy base in them and this might cause osmotic diarrhea. I feel this is the reason for the loose stools rather than the medications. 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. I suggest you use zinc supplements (Z&D Chat Doctor.

I have been having terrible bowl movements for about 3 months now, but not consequatively. Maybr once a week ot so. It first starts out with me cramping like pms pains and when I sit on the toilet the painn moves to my low back and up into my stomach and it s hard to breathe or even think because my legs are shaking and I am having cold sweats and my pain is hardly bareable. I am usually hurting for at least 10 minutes with no relief from the pain. My bowl is usually in large amounts and greenish and soft so it burn some at the same time as everything happening. I do apparently have a bad gallbladder , but not for sure how bad. I had appendicitis recently and had surgery and during surgery is when the doctor found out my gallbladder was bad. Do you think my gallbladder has any affect on my pain or is it intestinal?
|
Hello! Thank you for the query. Gallstones pain is usually located in the upper right abdomen and radiates to the back. Nausea and vomiting can be present. It usually comes and goes. Green stools and diarrhea can be also present. However, cramping, and stool problems are more characteristic for bowels issues like partial bowels' obstruction due to adhesions post appendectomy. Chronic bacterial infection is also possible. I suggest you to visit general surgeon. Consider abdominal CT with oral contrast (enterocytes) to rule out partial bowels' obstruction. Stool tests should be also done. Gallbladder removal might be necessary as well. Hope this will help. Regards.

Hi, Your semen analysis report is normal except for the pus cells. Your semen analysis report shows pus cells in increased number.

I had a tooth extracted 6 days ago. It was a traumatic oral surgery which took nearly 50 minutes.About two days ago I began noticing a bad rotting smell coming from hole which is white and spotty. It hurts and I am out of medication. I took antibiotics 2 days before extraction and three days proceeding extraction. Can this be remedied at home?
|
Hiiii.welcome to Chat Doctor I have gone through your query, and it seems that traumatic extraction many a time can lead to Chat Doctor. A condition wherein postoperative pain starts within 3 days post surgery along with presence of foul odor. Basically the blood clot that is formed during healing gets disintegrated thereby exposing the underlying unhealed bone. The line of treatment for this would be repeated placement of antimicrobial

Hi, You hear pounding heart beats in your ears because of high blood pressure and fast heart rate. You should undergo some examinations, such as tests for thyroid, kidney to find out the reason for your high blood pressure. Meanwhile, you should receive treatment because such blood pressure is harmful for your organism. Hope I have answered your query. Please let me know if you have any further questions.

Ive recently ( one week ago) had a right sided inguinal hernia repair, a mesh was used. I am concerned that Im getting funny sensations in the groin, the occasional bit of shooting discomfort into the right side of the penis and testicle ( I assume this is nerve related) and pain in the right side of my back (SI joint region) when I sit too long. And when I empty my bladder it feels as I havent emptied it fully and within in 30 minutes I need to go to the toilet again.Its also numb around the incision area. What I am experiencing is this normal? will all these symptoms eventually wear off?. I wasnt informed of any of this before my surgery and now I am concerned and worried. Im started to regret having the surgery. Thanks
|
Hello. Thank you for the query. After inguinal hernia surgery the main symptom is pain in the wound area. Other mentioned symptoms are not characteristic. Your symptoms indicate urinary tract infection or testis inflammation. Frequent urinating, burning while urinating, back main, lower abdominal pain and groin pain are typical UTI symptoms. I suggest you to visit your doctor, have urinalysis and testis ultrasound. Hope this will help. Regards

Last night the emergency doctor had prescribed me Spasmo-cibalgin, Lactulose and Premosan tablets for abdominal pain, nausea, blood in stool. The pharmacist contradicted the doctors instruction regarding the time of consumption (before or after food). I am taking Warfarin for the last 4 years. Kindly advise me
|
Hi, If you are on warfarin then you need to consult a specialist to evaluate the symptoms. The cause of bleeding needs to be ascertained at the earliest in order to commence specific treatment. Regards

Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query. The pain is because of the infection from the wisdom tooth. Consult an oral maxillofacial surgeon and get the tooth removed. Before that for the infection to come down, you can a course of antibiotics like amoxicillin 500 mg and metronidazole 400 mg TID for 5 days(if you are not allergic). Do saline gargling. I hope my answer will help you, take care.

Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query. The recurrent authors ulcer can be treated by using topical steroids like triamcinolone acetone 0.1%, apply 3-4times daily after food.

Hi, on the 7th July 2008, during labour, my womb severley ruptured, resulting in the still birth of my second son. My first son was 10lb 9oz and my son who was still born weighed 10lb 10oz. The surgeon amazingly managed to save my womb. They said I may possibly be able to one more child. I obviously grow my babies big, with being over 10lb. I am now wanting to try again for another baby. Are there any risks to me? What are the chances of me conceiving with my womb being repaired from a severe rupture (it ripped top to bottom and left to right, so i have a large cross shape of scar tissue). I hope you can offer some guidance.
|
The delivery is possible in such cases and once you are near term, you are advised to go for elective c-section to be on the safer side.

My 16 year old daughter is experiencing what looks like raised blood vessels in her lower arms,hands, and feet. They are somewhat painful and she has a head and neckache. She is on her period and there has been a big storm front. Her older sister has atypical migraines. The 16 year old takes meds to prevent muscles in her arms and hands and was tested for just about everything last year. All was chalked up to her being a premie. Could she be having a form of migraine?
|
HI I did review your concern. I would recommend you to show the skin lesions to a dermatologist, or you can upload pics and show them to me. As far as headache is considered it could be related to these lesions, but one needs to examine her in detail. A complete neurological examination and a CT head may be required if asked by the doctor if needed. I hope this help swish you a healthy life

Hello, I have an unexpected pain on my shoulder, collar bone, hurts when I lift my shoulder. It started unexpectedly and it feels to be extending to my neck for brief moments. It also feels like those pains caused by acid reflux, but intensified x 10000 times and it feels like it radiates all over my right side.
|
Pain can be from many causes. What triggers or relieves it basically tells what is going on. If the pain is elicited by particular movements then it is not reflux and the particular area would tell where the pain is coming from. Usually from the attachment tendons around the shoulder joint (rotator cuff). If antacid relieves the pain that not only tells that it is indeed reflux but also shows an effective treatment.

My blood pressure ranges from 111 over 60 when I am taking Diovan HCT 160/25 mg. I feel so tired all the time and I find it hard to concentrate or meet my daily responsibilities. I stopped taking Diovan HCT for a couple weeks and immediately felt better and had more energy...I was actually happy for a change. The on got a bad headache that wouldn t go away. I took my blood pressure and it range from 130 to 156 over a 7 day period. During that time I started taking Diovan HCT again and now after about 10 days, I m feeling sick, tired, depressed and stressed out. My blood pressure is 111/59 today and evening. My question is: Do I have to take Diovan every day or only when my blood pressure exceeds 140. My doctor doesn t seem to take an interest when I call her. Help please advise. Should I go to a different doctor for help? Thank you.
|
Hi and thank you so much for this query. I am so sorry to hear about this sick feeling while on Divan HCT. The blood pressure is very normal but would be considered somewhat abnormal for a person on treatment for high blood pressure. The goal of your treatment should be having the blood pressure less than 140 but not as low as 111. The dosage of divan HCT should be adjusted. It appears the current dose is too much for you. This Chat Doctor. I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thank you so much for using our services and do feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
