HiT hanks for posting your query on Chat Doctor. I really appreciate your concern for the treatment of cat bite. Since you have taken the anti rabies vaccine (Raipur) as per the scheduled advised by the doctor in May 2010, and the fact that you have been bitten by a strange cat you need to take two booster doses of anti rabies vaccine on 0 and 3 days. Hope this answers your query. Best regards.

Hi! Your fathers renal parameters are suggesting severe renal dysfunction. He should be initiated on dialysis for removal and filtration of toxins from the body. Post dialysis, after a few sessions your nephrologist will assess his status and let you know the further management. Kindly don't hesitate to begin Dialysis as it will significantly improve his health than what it is now.

My son is 27 and been having re-occurring bouts of severe abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting to the point of dehydration. He has been to the er repeatedly, receiving fluids and having tests periodically. He has no insurance so he has been unable to follow up. And all they do at the er is re-hydrate him and send him home basically. The last ct said that his liver was notable for the presence of periportal lymphedema. Which stated that it could be indicitative of infectious or inflammatory process in the liver. They didnt mention anything about this to us, nor did they say anything about the labs, which several things are flagged as HIGH or LOW. That was 2 days ago, he is back at the er again today. I am extremely concerned. I guess my question is could there be something really wrong here, this has been going on for about 2 years

Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor forum. So far it is clear that the liver is effected, with peripheral lymphedema. Now liver function tests are to be done, to know what is the wrong. S.G.O.T, S.G.P.T, Bag, SERUM BILIRUBIN, etc. are to be done. I advise you to consult a gastroenterologist for diagnosis and treatment. His habits are also to be taken into account, like alcohol, smoking, marijuana, etc. and should be avoided. Wishing for a quick and complete recovery. Thank you.

hello; christian greetings! I have a albumin trace on my urine test. the fact is i have already a kidney stone found during on my ultrasound. can you give me some tips or idea the do s and dont;s of food to eat. i mean, a healthy food that is best treatment.
|
To be very frank, many doctors give advice regarding food, but there is no such meta analysis proving it. I personally do not advise such restrictions to my patients as once stone former is always a stone former. Advise is to Chat Doctor. 5 liters of water in 24 hours. In my clinic, for small (less than 7 mm) & non-obstructing stones, I prescribe a diuretic, antispasmodic & painkiller if painful or just follow-up ultrasound to look for size & any obstruction to urine outflow. Renal function tests, Serum uric acid, blood sugar & urine routine should be done. Antiuricemic

I m 26 years old, and we have been trying to conceive for Eight months. I have a 28-day period, and I experience all the symptoms of ovulation, but I also have severe PMS. Is that the reason why I m not getting pregnant? I start to take Ovacare, Ebexid and Fertomid-50 mg with the consultation of my docotor after three months there is any chances for getting pregnant! please suggest!

Hallow Dear, Pre menstrual syn Chat Doctor. You have been put on Eyelid (for thyroid dysfunction), Ova care and Fatimid (for ovulation problems). I hope these dysfunctions are confirmed after due investigations before stating this treatment. Now you have to monitor your ovulation either by ovulation monitoring kit or by ultrasonography. Accordingly, you have to plan your sexual intercourse. Usually the follicle in the ovary ruptures after it reaches 18 mm size. If it does not rupture naturally, it may have to be induced by Chat Doctor injection. Usually within 24 hours after Chat Doctor, the ovulation takes place. The egg or ovum has a life of 24 hours while the sperms are 72 hours active. Hence, a period of about one week around the day of ovulation is considered as fertile period. If you can plan your marital relations during this Fertile window, the chances of success are more. Please note that the ovum released after the follicle has crossed the size of 21 mm size does not have that good chance of getting fertilized or to carry on with successful pregnancy. During ovulation monitoring by ultrasonography, the endometrium is also visualized. Endometrium of about 10 mm or more in thickness is very conducive for implantation of fertilized ovum. Considering this fact, you can adjust your life-style in to pursue of desired pregnancy. If you have any more doubts, or want any more information, you may ask me by Direct question. With the Best of Luck,

Dear Dr. Matthew MintzI have a very sore tongue. It looks like blotches of raw tongue where it looks like the skin came off. It is constant and very painful with a large degree of burning. I also have little ulcers (white dots) which also are extremely sore. It hurts to eat anything with salt or something acidity. Lately it has become almost unbearable. Can you help?
|
Hello, Welcome Thanks for consulting Chat Doctor, I have gone through your query, as you have mentioned that you have sore painful tongue, don't worry it can be due to National deficiency, or decapitation of papillae. You do is take one capsule vitamin B complex supplement, twice daily for 5 days. You can apply ointment McCoppin or colonel twice daily for 5 days. If then you won't get relief then go to dentist for examination and if necessary investigations. Hope this will help you.

Im a 13 year old male and sometimes when i masturbate there is blood in my semen. A while back I had it for a bit but eventually went away but the I masturbated twice in one day and it came back again but it disappeared very quickly. What should I do to stop it
|
HelloThanks for query. Blood in semen (Hesperia) is mostly due to trivial injury to urethra sustained due to Chat Doctor. You need to use lubricant and handle the penis gently while masturbating.

Hi there,Im a 21 year old male and I have a few symptoms that I cant get out of my headI have a small lump in my left breast and have had it for about 3 years. It hasnt gotten any bigger and Ive had an ultrasound done on it that came back showing it to be non-cancerous. I also have an enlarged lymph node in my neck/throat just below my jaw line, only on the right side that sometimes swells up and sometimes is normal, but Ive had this too for about 3 years.In about the past year Ive developed a pain in my right shoulder, 99% of the things that I do in my everyday life dont effect it at all. But I can feel like its slightly swollen/enlarged compared to my left shoulder. When I raise my right arm above my head like Im pointing to the sky and bring it back down slowly and to the side my shoulder cracks, every single time that I do that motion.Recently, in about the past month Ive started to get a tightness in my chest, almost exclusively associated to the days after I consume alcohol but not only on those days. Im constantly thinking about these symptoms and second-guessing the ultrasound results. Cancer is in the forefront of my mind whenever I start thinking about all these symptoms and my chest tends to feel like its tightening when I think about them as well.

I got my nose pierced about 5 weeks ago and it was perfectly fine, producing no crusties at all, wasn t hurting, and i thought it was healed so i decided it was time to change it since i really didn t like the stud. I had my piercer change out my jewelry for a hoop i had bought at a store that sells lots of body jewelry. Two days later, I have a smallish, red bump right above my piercing with tenderness around my nostril. I don t know the material of the hoop but I am not allergic to anything but mosquitos so it can t be that. I tried a hot sea salt soaks today and it reduced the redness and tenderness but now it s forming green crusties around the piercing. So here are my two questions: 1. Is that good that i m forming green crusties after the sea salt soak since maybe it s maybe pushing the infection out or is that making it worse? 2. How long does it take for a nose piercing infection to go away with sea salt soaks?
|
Hi, No, the green discharge can imply that the infection is unfortunately worsening. There is no specific time interval that it may take for an area to heal with the soaks though it normally takes 4 to 7 days. If there is no improvement or any worsening then you may need a course of topical or oral antibiotics. While an infection is present, the foreign object or jewelry, that is the cause of the infection, may need to be removed till everything is improved. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Hi. Ive been having sinuse problems due to allergies and a doctor prescribed me something a month ago for the symptoms. it was getting better (cough and all) until the end of last week the left side eyebrow started hurting and my left nostril has mucus in it that I always clear out...slight blood also. What can this be and what can i do without going to the hospital to help heal?
|
Hi, From history it seems that you might be having allergic rhinitis with sinusitis. Having pain in eye might be due to frontal sinusitis. Due to congestion in nasal passage there might be having some bleeding. Put decongestant nasal Chat Doctor. Take some decongestant medicine to clear congestion. Take picks vapor inhalation. Ok and take care.

I went to the dentist yesterday and they took my blood pressure with a wrist pressure cup, and it was 95/42. Is this too low of a bottom number? I am 48 yrs old and probably 25 pounds overweight. In the past I have been 95/65 but 42 yesterday seemed a bit low???

Hi. Welcome. This is Chat Doctor. This BP is absolutely normal for you until you have symptoms of low BP like giddiness, persistent weakness. You do not need any treatment for it. Just take adequate fluid with some extra salt in diet. Thanks

### Question: I went to the dentist yesterday and they took my blood pressure with a wrist pressure cup, and it was 95/42. Is this too low of a bottom number? I am 48 yrs old and probably 25 pounds overweight. In the past I have been 95/65 but 42 yesterday seemed a bit low???
### Answer: Hi. Welcome. This is Chat Doctor. This BP is absolutely normal for you until you have symptoms of low BP like giddiness, persistent weakness. You do not need any treatment for it. Just take adequate fluid with some extra salt in diet. Thanks

I have been experiencing some intermittent pain in a weird location. It is a diagonal pain, above left breast, and heads toward left shoulder. Pain extends about 6 inches. I ve had some chiropractic because I thought it might be related to my cervical spine, and it goes away for a short period of time but then always returns. I had an adjustment today, and the pain was gone for about 5 hours, but it is back again now. It is not sharp, or constant, but feels kind of like a muscle pulling. If I turn my head tot the right, it definitely exacerbates the feeling. I haven t had any injuries. I m 53, good blood pressure, pulse, no diseases other than degenerative disc disease which is causing me lots of pain in my lower back and SI joint areas.

Hello, The location and movement of pain give clues as to what is going on. Localized and outside the chest would simply a small area. While in theory breast cancer could cause that, the more common cause of breast local trauma, pulling down on nearby structures with age and sagging, bra fitting wrongly is of course more common. Nevertheless, every over 50 women should have a yearly mammogram and that would also show infection/tumors other than cancer/cysts/scar. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Chat Doctor.

hello for the past three days i have a pain in front of by chest near my right arm pit and chest it hurts when i cough and when i use my right hand even when i try to clear my throught its alittle better now what might of caused this there is no redness or bruising i went to a doctor he said to see a charopracter or it might be a cold what could it be
|
Hello dear, thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. In my opinion we should rule out causes for pleurisy (inflammation of pleura) for your symptoms. Because chest pain on coughing is characteristic feature of pleurisy. Following are the possible causes for pleurisy. 1. Pneumonia2. Tuberculosis3. Pleural effusion etc. So get done chest x-ray to rule out these causes. If chest x-ray is normal then no need to worry, muscular pain is the probable cause. So start painkiller and muscle relaxant. Avoid strenuous exercise and heavyweight lifting. Apply warm water pad on affected site. Don't worry, you will be alright.

Hi, I was on Loette Birth Control pills but stopped taking it for a month. I started taking Loette again about a week ago but not during the start of my period . If I have unprotected sex, will I get pregnant? Or how long do I have to wait before I can have unprotected sex?
|
Hi tan, Thanks for consulting us. Ideally Letter pills should start on day 1 of a women natural menstrual cycle (i.e. the 1st day of menstrual bleeding). Starting on days 2-7 of the menstrual cycle (e.g., Sunday start) is allowed, however, a non-hormonal back-up method of birth control (e.g., condoms, spermicide) is recommended during the first 7 days of Letter use. After that you may resume unprotected sex without facing extra risk. I hope you know that pills do not protect against Sexually Transmitted Diseases & it is a good practice to add a back-up method like condom for protection. Wish you good health.

Hello, Since you are not better after the medication and exercises. I think you should do an MRI of the neck to rule out any fiscal hernia, which usually does not get better with physiotherapy and may require surgery. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dear Sir, My son is 6 years old and in good health. In recent months I noticed that he has periodically cloudy urine. If put in transparent glass, 2-3 mm of white sediment settles at the bottom of glass in about 15 minutes. Than again nothing for few days. I suspect that this happens when he drinks lots of juices (orange). When he drinks water during the day, I think the urine is clean.

Hi, Thanks and welcome to Chat Doctor. Your history suggests that he may be having malaria(passing oxalate in urine)It is a benign condition usually clears of its own. Antacids may give relief. Hope this answer serves your purpose. Please feel free to ask further queries if any. Chat Doctor. V. Subrahmanyam.

My son, 10 year old, is asthmatic. He is frequently getting sick these days. His asthma was diagnosed when he was only 8 months old. During these years he has improved. In last two years he was much better. For the last three months his frequency has increased.

Hello. Thank you for asking at Chat Doctor. I went through your sons' history. Childhood asthma is a dynamic disease which has a tendency to improve and worsen over long time periods depending upon children environmental changes, diet, medications, etc. If for last three months his frequency has increased, if his symptoms limits his daily activities/exercise, or he has nighttime cough more than once a week, or he has to use his rescue inhaler (such as albuterol or levosalbutamol) for more than twice a week, I would suggest him to start daily controller medications (or increase his controller medications if he is already taking them) for at least next 3 months. I will also suggest you to consult an Allergist-Immunologist who will test him for allergies and may suggest additional measures and allergen immunotherapy to improve asthma control. I want to emphasize on correct technique of using inhalers as this is crucial to ensure that adequate amount of Chat Doctor. Furthermore, I would also suggest him regular breathing exercises, a healthy diet rich in vitamins and minerals and avoidance of dusts-smokes-air pollution as much as possible. Hope this will be helpful to you. Wish your son the best of the health. Regards.

My Dad who is 81 and has 1/4 heart functioning thanks to Congestive Heart Failure had an infected tooth for weeks and then had it pulled. His pain was so bad he was mistakenly taking cvs brand Aleeve thinking it was Tylenol every 4 hours for 10 days as he is also blind thanks to Macular Degeneration. 160 Aleeve in 10 days. He has since told me that when he is laying on his back at night since he sleeps with a cpap his arms goes numb. I am wondering if this is caused by the dental issue. Infection maybe?
|
Hellos hand numbness has nothing to do with the removal of a tooth. Mostly it is caused due to irregular flow of blood to his arm due to his posture when lying down. Thank you

Hi, I m 22 year old boy..and suffering from compulsive masterbation(Approx. 7-10 days in a month)..due to this problem, i feel guilty,ashame, depression, anxiety, and mind disorder problem..so plz if anyone suggest me! How to i start my bright life without these problem, then it will be help for me.

HelloThanks for query. You had been indulged in masturbation since many years and now facing problems related to general health which you think them to be due to masturbation .First there is myth in a mind of common man that excessive masturbation is the reason of all sexual problems But I would like to state that it has been discussed in scientific forums all over the world and proved scientifically that masturbation does not have any negative effect on any organ or system in the body. All the problems that you are facing now are mind related and due to anxiety. Though it is harmless, excessive and frequent habitual masturbation does affect quality of erection and delays ejaculation. Please try to reduce the frequency of masturbation by keeping yourself busy in activities like sports, reading, social work etc. so that you will not get free time to masturbate. Chat Doctor.

This is fifth attack since April 2010.Symptoms are, low fever, heaviness in eyes, weakness, low appetite, bitter taste, some time vomiting sensation.It remains for 15to 20 days. I have taken antibiotics course three times.Today I have whole abdomen ultra sound, report of which is absolutely normal. what do you suggest .
|
Hi thanks for asking question. It is better first you do your complete blood examination CBC. If lymphocytes comes high it can be viral infection.Meanwhile, CBC will also reveal whether malarial parasite present or not. If fever associated with cough and feeling of weight loss then sputum examination done for ruling out tuberculosis. It is also advisable to do your SGPT, SGOT to rule out early case of jaundice by hepatitis, although chance of it less but still these constitutional symptoms can appear in hepatitis. If still cause not clear then it further works up should be planned according to physical examination. I hope I have solved your query.

I have a herniated disc at c5c6 encroching the thecal sac and a herniated disc at c6c7 encroaching the nerve root. Along with the typical arm pain and numbness I am now having trouble swallowing with throat pain and a headache that feels like someone is holding both sides of my head at my ears and squeezing as hard as they can. The pain increases when I lay down making it almost impossiable to sleep. The throat and head pain are new in the last 2 weeks and continues to get worse. I have had cortizone injections and waiting to see my surgeon but I didnt know if the head and throat pain are typical?
|
Hello, Your symptoms are not related to the bulging disc in the cervical vertebral column. For this reason, I recommend performing a brain MRI in order to investigate for other possible causes. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care

I was diagnosed with tuberculosis synovitis in Feb 2012, I was started with AKT4 for 60 days, now I am been started with R-Cinex for the past two days, but for the past 15 days I have severe joint and muscle pain. Is it side effect of AKT4?
|
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. AKT 4 contains rifampicin, isoniazid, pyrazinamide and ethambutol. Amongst these, pyrazinamide and ethambutol cause rise in uric acid level. And this high uric acid level can actually deposit in the joint space and cause joint pain. High uric acid can also cause muscle damage and cause muscular pain. So better to get done serum uric acid level. If it is high then start Eurostat to lower down uric acid. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.

I have a six year old who vomits at least 3-4 times a week at school. This is usually about 1 pm. She is fine on the weekends and at daycare but at Kindergarden she falls back into this pattern and it is usually just one vomit. Dr. visit - no concerns. Any idea what could be happening?
|
Helloas per your complaints, it seems like a psychogenic phenomenon as child of this age can very easily mimic and can even induce vomiting just to show their disinterest or to avoid going to school. In the absence of other associated factors like fever, loose stools, weight loss, decreased appetite, jaundice or body aches which you haven't mentioned and the point that he is fine on weekends seems to be psychogenic or what we call functional.It's also called Munchhausen syn Chat Doctor. But I would recommend having a complete physical checkup of your child from a pediatrician to rule out other possible and common causes

I have a five yr old son who has a dignosis of tuberous sclerosis complex. He just had a biopsy done in New Orleans on 12-30-11 after this procedure my child has been waking at 4am and staring at me. This scares the death out of me. His right eye is twitching and his eyes are extremly large out of his head. Can anyone explain to me what is going on?
|
Hi...by what you quote I feel that it could be a seizure keeping in mind the background of Tuberous Sclerosis. I suggest you consult your neurologist and get an EEG and MRI brain done. Protruding eyes could be due to the neurological manifestation of Tuberous Sclerosis. Regards -

Hi, i had been sitting on my chair in the office for a long time, that too I would keep my legs on the CPU of the computer which was under the table. N I think the whole pressure must have gone on my tail bone coccyx. So from that time I have been getting pain. I have been trying to avoid sitting for a long time but at times there is little pain. What should I do? Do u think its serious
|
Hello, I have studied your case. Due to microtrauma there may be fibrosis formation. You need to correct your ergonomics. Do hot fomentation over sacrum. It will take weeks to months to subside. Use ring cushion and take site bath [sitting in lukewarm water for 10 min]Take analgesic like Nicosia 90 once daily along with tab methylcobalamine 1500 mcg once daily consulting your doctor. If not relieved with all these methods then local injection may be required. You can take this consulting your doctor. Clinically spinal origin of pain needs to be ruled out, if required MRI spine can be done. Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow-up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries. Wishing you good health. Take care.

I suffer from severe anxiety. I wake though night with tingling pain from feet which goes to my bladder lower bowel & travels to my rib area, goes after a few minutes, but I think it has affected my bowel ( can t do healthy stools ) bladder feels bad, full sometimes, rib area feels tight, nervy pain. This is a vicious circle my symptoms make me more anxious. my Dr says I have IBS . & their are no tests for the symptoms I have, I am very depressed.

HelloWelcome to Chat Doctor Usually IBS or irritable bowel syn Chat Doctor. Anxiety increases the symptoms of IBS and IBS increases anxiety. So a vicious cycle results in deterioration of health. There are no specific tests that can detect IBS with confirmation. All major tests of stomach and bowels come normal. You should visit a psychiatrist for expert opinion. There are various medicines which can be used in anxiety and IBS. Medicines like SSRI as Paroxetine, sertraline are very useful in IBS with anxiety. A specific medicine Libra which contains clinician and chlordiazepoxide is very effective in controlling bowel symptoms in IBS. In some patients stool softeners are also used to relieve constipation. As you are in pain, have tightness in rib cage, I will advise you to visit a Psychiatrist. Thanks

My father has a grapefruit size lump in his armpit. He has had an MRI recently and they are going to remove it. He is scheduled for surgery in two weeks. They are taking it out to check to see if it is cancerous. He had prostate cancer 3 yrs. ago (had prostate removed)- counts /margin came back good then. His Dr. is saying that he may have nerve damage due to the size of the armpit lump...is thim common?
|
HI, Welcome with your query to Chat Doctor. Based on the facts of your query, Chances of nerve damage are not more and are as usual as for any other axillary surgery for the lump of that size.Also, the chances of Mets from prostate are very less due to complete excision 3yrs back. Still what your doctor is saying is to be taken for the sake of explanation for the consent. Rest you don't have more than normal chances of nerve injuries for removal of armpit lump. Welcome for any further query in this regard Will appreciate writing your feedback review comments, to help the needy patients like you at Chat Doctor. Good Day!! Chat Doctor. S. Genl-CVTS

Hello, Numbness happens When a person loses some or all of the feeling in their penis, it has become numb. The penis contains many nerve endings, and it is usually very sensitive. Numbness can occur when a person sits in a certain position for a long time. It can also result from low testosterone levels, another health issue, or an injury. Parodies disease, nerve problems, prostrate problems, etc. can also cause these numbness issues. But proper evaluation is necessary for successful treatment. Therefore, I suggest consulting a urologist for physical examination, diagnosis and treatment. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care

I m very nervous. My dad is very sick, within the past 2 months he was diagnosed with high blood pressure, his doctor put him on lisinopril which he reacted terrible to.

I just got two crown placed on my upper front teeth so as to close the gap(diastema) between them .. but m feeling heavy at gums and cant chew food with my molars ..i think they are kind of big ( rabbit like) what should i do now ? Also i want to join indian army will this affect my eligibility? Thnx..regards Ayushi

Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query. The heaviness can be because of the large crowns, or it can be because of the high points that is making you to not chew at back teeth. Nothing to be panic, consult a prosthodontist and get it corrected, just the excess material has to be reduced. You can join India army, don't worry. All the best. I hope my answer will help you, take care.

We have a 16 month old baby. She has been suffering from serious allergy for last 3/4 months. Her skin gets red as rash. It itches heavily. She feels discomfort in sleeping. Sleeping does not look like sound. Would you please suggest us what we should do now? It is mentioned here that I, the father of the baby have acute allergy from my age 23.

Hi... I sympathize with the kid and understand your concern. By what you quote I feel that it could be eczema. The trick of the management is keeping the skin moist and never allowing it to be Chat Doctor. For this oil massage and lotions like Hiatus will help. Regarding cure options - eczema is a sort of allergy...allergies can only be controlled and can never be cured. But usually kids grow out of it...that is as the age progresses, they become better starting from 6 months. Hope my answer was helpful for you. I am happy to help any time. Further clarifications and consultations on Chat Doctor are welcome. If you do not have any clarifications, you can close the discussion and rate the answer. Wish your kid good health.

My blood pressure is 117/90. The bottom is consistently high when I wake up in the morning. Im pretty sure I have sleep apnea, which I believe is what brought this on. Sometimes when it is real high, my mom or dad will give me one of their blood pressure pills.

Hi, Your blood pressure appears to be within the normal range. You have not mentioned the blood pressure, which you say is consistently high. However, I would like to inform you that sudden arousal of the sympathetic system you blood pressure will be high in mornings compared to other times. It will be higher at around 10 am and peak till the noon and then Chat Doctor. This is normal diurnal variation in all individuals. Avoid taking unregulated treatment. Your dosage might be low, but other added factors might lead to hypo-tension and accidental injuries. If you still have doubts, you can take ambulatory blood pressure monitoring, which helps in checking your 24 hr circadian blood pressure variation. If you think you have sleep apnea, meet the doctor and try to get it treated as it increases the risk of stroke, vascular diseases and congestive cardiac failure. If you have further doubts, you can get back with the exact high blood pressure in mornings and I will try to further help you. Hope I have answered your query.

I could feel these flashes from my head,down my neck and to my toes and hands . Not sure what is going on. thanks

Dairy am sorry for the symptoms you are suffering It seems you are suffering the side effects of your current medication It is time to discuss with your neurologist the possibility of changing it with other medication. It is a decision that your neurologist should take. Anyway you don't have nothing to worry, It is fully treatable Best regards Chat Doctor.

Im a 20 year old male. About three months ago a tortilla chip stabbed my gum onthe lower inside. The area was swollen immediately. The swelling has went down but i now have a hard bump there. A doctor told me that she wasnt concerned by it but i havent been able to get to a dentist due to insurance confusions. I get paranoid thinking it could be cancer . Also the bump seems to be moveable but i am not sure if its just the gum tissue moving any help would be appreciated i could provide more info if you need it
|
Trusting your dentist seems to be fairly okay here. Because the bump has only occurred 3 months ago. It could possibly be the torn gum tissue that is moving. However a photograph of it could have been nice. Keep a close look over it and see if it changes its size .take care

I just got back the results of my MRI. Don t know what it means, either. It says At L4-5, there is broad-based annular bulging, somewhat more prominent in a left paramedian distribution. There is also hypertrophic degenerative facet disease. This results in slight effacement of the ventral thecal sac and bilateral neural foraminal encroachment, left greater than right. On another part of my MRI it reads, At C6-7, there is broad-based annular bulging and bilateral uncovertebral joint hypertrophy, right greater than left. This results in effacement of the ventral thecal sac and bilateral neural foraminal encroachment, right greater than left. What does all this mean, and how can my back get fixed? Thanks!

Hi, Thanks for writing in. Your MRI cervical and lumbar spine findings are explained below in simple language.1. At L4-5, there is broad-based annular bulging, somewhat more prominent in a left para median distribution. There is also hypertrophic degenerative facet disease. This results in slight effacement of the ventral thecal sac and bilateral neural foraminal encroachment, left greater than right. In the lower back region, there is a disc at L 4 - L 5 level which is bulging from its normal position and causing pressure on the sac covering the spinal cord. There are degenerative changes in the area and the bulging disc is causing pressure on both sides at the nerve roots. This is the cause of any lower back pain you are experiencing2. At C6-7, there is broad-based annular bulging and bilateral uncovertebral joint hypertrophy, right greater than left. This results in effacement of the ventral thecal sac and bilateral neural foraminal encroachment, right greater than left. In the lower neck region also there is a bulging disc at C 6 - C 7 level and this is causing pinching of nerve roots on both sides, slightly more on the right side. This is mentioned as bilateral neural foraminal encroachment. This is causing any pain in neck region and numbness or tingling in the hands. Treatment of the above conditions requires you to do physiotherapy and take mild pain relievers which can treat nerve related pain. Please do not make sudden neck movements and lift heavy weights. Avoid standing for long durations at work or home.

My son, who is 15, recently attempted suicide. He was in an acute inpatient facility, where they gave him Abilify, which I found is primarily used to treat schizophrenia. Now he is out of the hospital and seeing a psychiatrist in private practice. He now has an RX for Latuda, which I see is used to treat schizophrenia and bipolar depression. Does this suggest that he is being diagnosed as schizophrenic? I see that he is depressed, but Ive never seen anything close to schizophenia. Sorry, didnt know this had a fee...
|
In my opinion though it is primarily used to treat schizophrenia ( Laura) they are also used to treat mood disturbance like depression

My son had a flu vaccination on Jan. 20th and has had multiple symptoms since then. He has had eye twitching, shortness of breath, tightness in the chest, headaches, dizziness (disoriented feeling), ringing in the ears (only once), blurry vision, and muscle soreness. This is just over 4 weeks from the time of the vaccination and after a round of z-Pack, and zyrtec, and aleave, or Tylenol for the muscle soreness and headaches, he is improving, however, he still begins feeling sort of bad around 9:30pm and the disorientation comes back. Also, the eye twitching still comes and goes. We feel he is having side effects from the flu vaccination and were also wondering if Guillain Barre Syndrome might be a factor here. If so, we don t think it is a severe case. Wondering how long his symptoms might continue and is there anything we should be doing that might help other than the ibuprofen or aleave for muscle soreness?

Hello, As you explain the history these may be symptoms of a viral situation due to vaccination or not. However, his doctor should examine him definitely. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Hello, I recently have been having panic attacks about 2 month ago. I have has an EKG, blood work, Echto Cardiogram, eveything checked out normally. I have not gotten over the anxiety attacks, however I still get twitching and spams in muscles where it seems my heart is. Is this normal? Just anxiety? please let me know @ YYYY@YYYY
|
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. No this is not normal. In my opinion, you should get done serum calcium level because hypocalcemia can also cause similar kind of muscle twitches. If calcium level is low then you will need supplements. Proper management of stress and anxiety is also important. So consult psychiatrist and get done counselling sessions. Try to identify stressor in your life and start working on its solution. You may need anxiolytic Chat Doctor. Don't worry, with counselling and

Hi, Thanks for asking the query, Bad breath can be because of various problems like sinusitis, oral infections, tongue coating, eating of food stuffs like onion, cumin, starvation, GIT disturbances. According to your clinical history it appears to be sinusitis. I would suggest you to visit ENT specialist and get the checkup done. Go for symptomatic treatment of complete mouth scaling and polishing. Maintain a good oral hygiene. Use antiseptic mouthwash gargles twice daily. Hope this helps out. Regards....

Hi, I have rhumotoid arthritis and goit and I am taking 300mg allopurinol,30mg lansoprazrazole,5mg lisinopril,250mg naproxen,40mg simvastatin,200mg hydroxychloroquine and 500mg paracetamol.My hands,elbow joints,neck and shoulders are still very painful,am I taking too many tablets or are they the wrong combination.I am male and 69 ,thank you. Peter

Hello, To comment first on the history with respect to medication, it is totally a physician decision based on the symptoms provided at the time of writing the prescription. So he will be the right person to give justification on why so many medications were prescribed. Now coming to your pain part. The pain is due to inflammation of the joints. Which you might be aware of. RA is a moving pain and can lead to pain at small joints and big joints also at times. You have a take a bigger precaution and that is to keep yourself warm. Like staying in cold weather will aggravate the symptoms. So keeping yourself warm will be first line of action. Next will be since how long you been facing this pain, and when was this RA diagnosed to you? This plays a key role in the overall guidance of the treatment plan. Regarding the medicine part please visit a rheumatologist as he will be the right person to take care of it. Now treatment part. First thing is to keep the muscle and joint mobility to the maximum. So a physiotherapist will play a key role here. They might perform some passive or active exercise based on a physical assessment. Also, physical therapy pain reduction modalities like Ultrasound therapy and TENS therapy will be of benefit to reduce the pain. Besides, please understand that this is only symptomatic for the pain. But to improve the metabolism and keep the body warm internally is only in your hand. The more the active you are the more, the better the outcome score. Usually, I see chronic RA cases in my clinical practice. They all respond well to exercise. Any kind of deformity present needs correction via physical therapy or with the help of splints. But most patients respond well to exercise in long term rehabilitation. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Jay In Chat Doctor.

Hi, I am a 59 year old male that has experienced a sharp stinging feeling, not pain, on my left breast about an inch above my nipple. Its not a deep feeling, just below the surface whicChatDoctores and goes about 3 or 4 times within the day. It began about one week ago. Need to worry?
|
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Since you are having left sided chest discomfort, better to first rule out heart diseases in your case. At your age of 59 years (post menopausal age), women are prone for heart diseases because of low estrogen and progesterone. So first get done ECG, 2d echo and stress test (trade mill test). If all these are normal then no need to worry about heart diseases. Sometimes stress and anxiety can also cause similar kind of chest discomfort. So avoid stress and tension, be relaxed and calm if you are having stressful life. Don't worry, you will be alright. But first rule out heart diseases. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.

Hi, Im 19 and a female. Im having lower right back pain, which I think is my kidney? Its sometimes dull and sometimes really bad pain for about a week or week in a half. Ive also been peeing a lot with white discharge. I havent gotten my period in 2 months, but I took a test last month and I am not pregnant. Ive also been feeling like headed & dizzy. Im most concerned with the kidney pain. What could this be? Thank you!
|
Hello, Thanks for your query. Lower right back pain could be related to your white discharge. It could be due to a renal infection or a stone if the pain does not seem to be muscular in nature. This can be ruled out after getting an ultrasound scan done. I do hope that you have found something helpful, and I will be glad to answer any further query. Take care

I have just recently started having high blood pressure...I think it is due to stress. They doctors have put me on blood pressure medicine Lisinopril 10mg once a day... I have been on this for 10 days...blood pressure is still high during periods of the day....they told me due to anxiety I need to start on anti depressant...Zoloft.....Do I really need to take both?
|
Hi, thank you for posting. The causes of high blood pressure are different and one of those is stress. So you have to take antidepressant, but I would recommend Prozac 20 mg 1 pill a day instead Zoloft. However, contact your doctor. You have to take both of medicines. Take Care.

Renal failure is not equivalent to Transplantation. First he should be assessed for stage of Renal failure and then nephrologist decides whether he needs conservative management or dialysis. If dialysis is inevitable then transplantation can be done provided there are no contraindications. First consult nephrologist. Best of luck

my daughter fell and bumped the back of her head. She cried for abput 5minutes and then was fine. She went to sleep 6 hours later and after 3 hours of sleeping woke up crying and said her head hurt. Should she be seen by a doctor? She keeps crying and waking up from discomfort.
|
If your daughter had no episodes of vomiting, unconsciousness, convulsions, sensory or motor problems, altered behavior etc. then you need not worry. After 4 to 6 hours of head injury absence of above-mentioned complaints usually rules out possibility of serious brain injury or brain bleed. For headache, you may give paracetamol or ibuprofen. If pain is not relieved after medications then you will have to consult doctor. For further queries regarding this disease or its medications you may take my appointment at Chat Doctor.

OK so ever sense I was 14 I have developed small bumbs all over my testicals and shaft of my penis. The doctor said it was a nature thing, that like 40 or 50% of men have it but too different levels. Mine is pretty bad. Anyway I have developed a hard cyst like pimple on the top of my shaft that wont go away. I squeeze it and only a small white secretion comes out like my other bumbs. Should I be worried. Is it a pimple that just wont go away. Is it a cyst, does it sound like herps?

### Question: OK so ever sense I was 14 I have developed small bumbs all over my testicals and shaft of my penis. The doctor said it was a nature thing, that like 40 or 50% of men have it but too different levels. Mine is pretty bad. Anyway I have developed a hard cyst like pimple on the top of my shaft that wont go away. I squeeze it and only a small white secretion comes out like my other bumbs. Should I be worried. Is it a pimple that just wont go away. Is it a cyst, does it sound like herps?

Is diagnosis and my symptoms, would be considered heart failure?

Hi, As per your doctor, you've mild MR which can cause occasional palpitations and mild shortness of breath. However, it doesn't point to heart failure. .it may be an early sign but get an echo done ANE if echo is showing normal functions then doesn't seem so. If you're having leg swellings also, then I suggest you consult a cardiologist AA you may need aggressive treatment. And it may early sign if heart failure

is it safe to travel with gall stone(s)? My wife was told yesterday that she had a 1.8cm gall stone, it is too late to rebook a trip we have scheduled for 13 days from now. The pain she had yesterday was the first attack she has had, no previous pain.
|
I think yes its safe or better the risk for another biliary colic if the first one was a true biliary colic is the same for a traveler, because it doesn't depend on the movement but more on the food you take. Abundant meals and especially abundant fatty meals may be the cause of a new biliary colic, so she should be more cautious. Meanwhile, you have the time for a laparoscopic cholecystectomy and a good recovery in 13 days if possible.

I am 31 yrs male and my partner is 28 yrs old. we had all test normal. Doctor prescribed me to take coqforte capsules. I want to know how long i should take this capsule in order to get conceived. Is sugar level matters in getting conceive, as my partner sugar level is 150.
|
Hi, Coqforte contain essential mineral and antioxidant substances. It works by neutralizing the free radicals and protecting against cell damage; acting an antioxidant by fighting free radicals in the body, preventing the blood clotting and help in conceiving by reducing oxidative stress. You can take it for 2-4 months. High blood sugar may be due to insulin resistance and cause ovulatory dysfunction. You can ask for Metformin to reduce blood sugar and also reduce insulin resistance. Avoid stress, take healthy diet, Chat Doctor. Hope this may help you. Contact further if follow up needed. Best regards,

I was checking my scrotum and I felt a zit like bum under my skin. I squeezed it and it hurt bad. So I stopped and it turned reddish purple. Then for the next week it surfaced and kind of looked like a zit, or bug bite. It hurt and seemed infected, so I put benadryl on it and almost instantly the pain went away. It scabbed up and went away within 8 days. What could this be?

Hi, Usually, zits are caused by bacteria due to ChatDoctor.

My daughter is seeing a specialist in reference to a tumor , the size of a quarter, that an MRI showed is against the Parotid Gland Her doctor said it could be serious because of the closeness to the gland. When we see the specialist what questions are important that we make sure we ask because we have heard that it could affect the facial nerve? Thank you
|
Hi, Thank you for posting your query. Most tumors in parotid gland are benign in nature and can be completely cured with surgery. It is important to confirm the nature of tumor, whether it is benign or malignant (cancer). This may require FNAC or biopsy of the tumor. You can discuss the risks involved in the surgery, especially the risk of damage to the facial nerve. I hope it helps. Please get back if you require any further information. Best wishes, Chat Doctor. Ly/

i got married on 1st feb. ,during first month of my marriage i didnt had any problem during sex, but frm second month i see little blood during our intercourse. after examination the doc said thr is a small mole/poly or anything.so the doc advised tat it should be romed immediately.I havent understood the reason for this and also in ultra sound report its seen tat a calculus is seen in mird 3rd of right kidney measuring 3.3 mm in size, thr are features of endocervictis, small cortical cyst is seen in both the ovaries and minimal collection is seen in POD? what should i do now, what are the remedies? will i have any problem in conceiving a child???pls help??
|
Hi, Thank you for your query. You have not mentioned the location of the mole/polyp. If it is on the cervix then it should be removed. Endocervicitis can be controlled by appropriate medications. The kidney problems should not be a cause for worry if the kidney functions are within normal limits. The doctor shall be seeing to this aspect. Cortical cyst in ovaries and minimal collection of fluid in the POD are normal. These should not cause any problem for you to conceive. However, you need to be under constant medical supervision for your renal problems. I hope I have answered your query to your satisfaction. Wishing you all the best.

I am 53 and not really had symptoms of menopause , some hot flushes, but not too bad. What are the side effects of having the coil fitted, will I get cramps, spotting, weight gain etc. They have told me I need to be checked again in 6 months. I am have a general to have the coil fitted in 3 weeks.

Hi, Ovarian pathology generally does not cause heavy bleeding, uterus pathology is most likely another option any cervical tumor. You should be evaluated by an experienced gynecologist. In case of any suspicion biopsy from respective area should not be delayed.

Hello have taken an overdose of hormonal pills. That's definitely not done. Obviously due to sudden influx of hormonal medication, your cycles will be erratic. Expect irregular cycles.

Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query. If your daughter is giving history of swallowing a penny, then immediately consult a pediatrician and get a radiograph done to confirm the diagnosis. If it goes in the respiratory tract, it might be an emergency issue, so rush to the physician immediately. I hope I have answered your query, take care.

my husband has neuropathy in his feet. He is on the mediation in the patch. He does not stand very long. So he has not been brushing his teeth. Alot of his teeth has rotted and fallen out. Now he has headaches at least two to three times a week. Do you think this is an infection starting from his teeth and going to his brain?
|
Hello, Plaque remaining on the teeth will cause decay and tissue inflammation. Left untreated, this may turn into a possible abscess situation. An abscess can occur in tooth structure as well as an in periodontal supporting bone and gum. Oral hygiene must be maintained. The spread of infection is of great concern and should be treated. Antibiotics may need to be prescribed and recommended treatment completed to eliminate infections. Most likely the symptoms are related to a deteriorated oral condition that will require extractions or root canal therapy. Please schedule a dental visit and discuss options to be able to improve home care. There are assorted tools available to assist difficult situations and your dentist will guide you with suggestions for this difficult situation after a full evaluation. Thank you for your inquiry and I hope you will be able to have relief soon.

Gday. I dont really know where to start but i suffer from panic disorder whereby it is affecting my life in that i am not living life to the fullest. I used to travel/fly heaps but now i am to scaed to get on a plan, train boat, bus numerous things even rollercoaster. It isnt the ride itself that scare me i love the feelings of a rollercoaster or the turbulence but i panick at the thought of going on a plane or waiting to get on a train/plane and then worry about having a panic attack in mid air or on the train or whatever it be. I have xanax that i was prescribed by my GP in 2011 and am stll on the first script so i only take it when i need to do something scary. But i havent used them to go on a plane or boat or train yet as i am still to scared and i also wish to take more than the one tablet that was suggested. I would like to take maybe three or four and see if it really helps. Any suggestions?

Hi, I have gone through your query. You are already diagnosed with Panic Disorder and on prescription of Alprazolam (Xanax). You haven't mentioned the dose. Alprazolam is a benzodiazepine and is not first line of treatment for Panic disorder as it causes tolerance, dependence and abuse. You are suffering from its tolerance and ongoing dose is not working on you. Rather than increasing the dose I would prefer that you should go for Selective Serotonin Re-uptake Inhibitors (SSRIs) like Fluoxetine and Cognitive behavioral therapy. It is better to consult a psychiatrist about the prescription and treatment. Do consider positive feedback as a credit to my work. Let me know if you have any further questions.
