I have used a one day OTC miconazole suppository, but other than that, I don't know what else to do. Would a natural supplement, like garlic or yogurt be worth a try as well? Doctor: Hello, I suppose the yeast infection is on your groin? If that's the case you can use an antifungal cream (fluconazole for example) for a couple of weeks or for at least a few days after the yeast has completely recovered. Oral treatment has some benefits and you can also use fluconazole by mouth for the same amount of time. It's better if a dermatologist diagnosed it though. I don't believe that natural supplements or any other non-pharmaceutical product would offer any help. Don't forget to keep the area clean and dry. Avoid leaving your wet shorts on, after exercising!Kind Regards!"

And I have been freaking out a little bit because I have never felt like this before and I just didn't know if it was anything serious or if I am just worrying way to much. thanks Doctor: Well here it looks like gastric pain due to acidity and gastric gases. I suggest to have warm water with anta acid tablets. And its first time I believe so Don't worry. At any time if you have breathing difficulty along with this pain or abdomen buldging then you need to visit doctor and do the relevant tests till then relax and it will be fine I strongly believe in some time.Take care."

Doctor: HelloThanks for posting at HCM. Your symptoms seem non specific. Since your chest X ray and heart sonogram are normal, and since you have these symptoms since months, its very low probability that it is of heart or lung origin. Your BP reading was high. So you have to monitor your blood pressure regularly for three weeks and if it is persistently higher, then you must be started on BP medications.You have not mentioned your age above. If you are above 40, I would also recommend a Treadmill test which requires you to walk on a treadmill while your ECG is continuously being monitored.. This will rule out cardiac origin of chest feeling you have.You should also do your vitamin D levels because low vitamin D levels make the bones weak and you may experience chest discomfort. Your symptoms may also be related to hyperacidity so please try antacids.Wishing you good healthRegards"

Been doctors twice and have just gave her nose drops I'm quite worried about the eyes as she has never complained about them. Pls help. Doctor: Most often cough and cough in children is caused due to certain viral infections. Most often such infections are associated with allergic reactions which can be responsible for runny nose. It may also be associated with increase in temperature and muscle fatigue as in her case. The muscle fatigue is more likely to be the cause of her eye pain as well as her knees hurting. Giving paracetamol should provide relief for both fever and muscle pain. Giving some antiallergic like cetirizine syrup for a few days should help. Also give her steam inhalation. Water in the form of vapor reaches deep into the lungs and helps in diluting the cough and provides relief from dry cough. In case the symptoms last for more than 7 days or if the child grows lethargic or starts wheezing, you would have to take the child to a doctor without delay."

Doctor: Hello dear,Most common cause of persistent headache with feeling of heaviness,while you are awake is TTH(Tension type headache),which is a stress associated headache.However,very frequently in clinical practice migraine is confused with TTH.Sometimes both may overlap.Migraine is typically episodic.hemicranial,pulsatile(though you are having pulsatile headache,but TTH may also have it)headache,which is precipitated with any triggering factor like cheese,coffee,smoking,bright light,loud sound,stress,lack of sleep.Migraine can be associated with nausea,photophobia(headache increased with bright light),phonophobia(headache increased on talking or with sound) or some visual abnormalities(like seeing zig-zag or flashing lights,half words or alphabets).You may have TTH or migraine ,possibly in that order.Burbs have nothing to do with it.In TTH drugs like escitalopram or amitriptyline are useful along with some mental relaxation techniques.Migraine can also be effectively managed with medicines.You need to visit a neurologist for this.I hope it helped."

Doctor: Hi,for the fibromyalgia i will wish to help you out here. Usually people tend to lose weight or put on weight based on their body composition and the physiology of the human body varies from one to the another. Muscle weakness, Joint pain and headaches are common in Fibromyalgia. Let me assist you first in brief about Fibromyalgia. It is a condition where the pain is in the fibers of the muscle, due to which muscle pain, weakness, tiredness, headache, etc troubles the patient. For dealing with fibromyalgia one need to first understand that the recovery is slow and steady in this condition. Strengthening the muscles by doing regular exercises, going for long walks for generating enough cardiorespiratory endurance, are utmost importance. Do regular Breathing exercises as the oxygen is the source of energy needed for any metabolic reaction in the human body at the cellular stage. Doing meditation will help control the mind and behavior as in fibromyalgia usually there will be a lot of irritation and frustation too, so meditation will also help. I will strongly recommend to focus on regular exercises, long walks, meditation and breathing exercises. Possibly you has also helped many people along with the previous use. Ofcourse you can see a physical therapist for his utmost guidance and knowledge if you need more assistance.thank you"

I am in constant pain. Thank you, Anne Doctor: Hi,Thank you for your query. I can understand your concerns.It seems that you are suffering from chronic non-infectious hip bursitis. Hip bursitis most often involves the bursa that covers the greater trochanter of the femur, although the iliopsoas bursa can also become inflamed.Treatment includes rest, ice application, and NSAID (/Non-steroidal-anti-inflammatory-drug) e.g. piroxicam 20 mg once daily orally along with ranitidine 150 daily orally for acute exacerbation of pain. You can undergo MRI hips to assess the extent of inflammation.Additionally you may undertake the followings:-Activity modification-Avoid the activities that worsen symptoms.Assistive devices-Use of a walking cane or crutches for a week or more when needed.Physical therapy-exercises to increase hip strength and flexibility. You may do these exercises on your own, or a physio-therapist may teach you how to stretch your hip muscles and use other treatments such as rolling therapy (massage), ice, heat, or ultrasound.Steroid injection-Injection of a corticosteroid along with a local anesthetic may also be helpful in relieving symptoms of hip bursitis. It involves a single injection into the bursa. The injection may provide temporary (months) or permanent relief. If pain and inflammation return, another injection or two, given a few months apart, may be neededGenerally, no surgical intervention is required for cases of trochanteric /hip bursitis, because most patients respond well to nonsurgical treatment.Only rarely does a patient with trochanteric bursitis need a bursectomy and partial resection of the greater trochanteric process.Regards Dr. T.K.

"value": "Source: Patient: Hello,I am scheduled to have four impacted wisdom teeth removed this Friday, February 17, 2017. It is a non-emergency, elective procedure at this time. I am an otherwise healthy 30 year old male. I had a medical checkup and bloodwork with my general practitioner about 6 months ago, and everything appeared to be normal. During my consultation with my oral surgeon, my blood pressure was taken throughout most of the consultation, and no one mentioned to me that anything was out of the ordinary. I regularly exercise 3 days a week with no significant shortness of breath or dizziness. For my procedure on Friday, I am scheduled to undergo \"twilight\" anesthesia as explained by my oral surgeon. I am unsure what exact drugs they will be using, but my understanding is that they will be similar to (if not the same) drugs used for general anesthesia.My question and high concern involves my recent recreational drug use and its potential adverse effects with the anesthesia. I typically use alcohol and marijuana on the weekends (including this past weekend) with friends, which have caused no problems in the past. More recently (as recent as last weekend), I have also engaged in moderate cocaine use. I will be taking any and all steps necessary to abstain from cocaine usage going forward. I would not consider myself \"addicted\" to it at this point, so abstinence should not be an issue.My understanding is that cocaine, due to its relatively short half-life, will typically leave your system within 72 hours. I will be abstaining from all previously mentioned usage this entire week, and it will have been approximately 5 days between any usage and the procedure.Due to the nature of my work and my father's relationship with the oral surgeon (he is a dentist, they refer work to each other, and I have given my father permission to view my medical records if necessary), I would strongly prefer to not mention any of this to the oral surgeon. At the same time, I understand my safety is important.To boil all of this information down to my question, if the cocaine metabolites have left my system by Friday morning, will I be in a safer condition to undergo the procedure? Because the procedure is elective, I have no problem postponing the procedure for another 1-2 weeks at a minimum to ensure my system is clean and my vitals are stable. I have read conflicting medical research online, with some journals indicating a cocaine positive patient is not at any greater risk for complications than a cocaine negative patient, but I have seen other medical professionals recommending that such patients wait closer to 2 weeks.I apologize for the rather lengthy question, but I wanted to provide as much information as possible to receive a more informed response. I do appreciate your help and advice. Doctor: Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.Yes, it is true that you should be clean of any recreational drugs in your blood before you go for any anaesthesia procedure. You should be free from any drug intake for about 2 weeks.But still without intimating your Doctor/dentist, it is not appropriate to proceed for treatment procedure. So, my suggestion is to discuss with your dentist and get a blood test done and once you are assured then you can proceed for anaesthesia and treatment. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.Regards,Dr. Honey Arora"

"value": "Source: Patient: I went to the dentist 2 days ago due to pain/itching in the gums between my implant and molar. The onset of the pain was 3 days prior to my appointment. The implant was done 2 years ago and I had this same pain at one point during the process for which the dentist prescribed an antibiotic and it resolved. The night before my appointment, I noticed my gums were painful in my entire mouth (something I've never experienced). The morning of my appt, my gums were so painful that I mentioned I wanted to forgo the routine cleaning I was to have in addition to having my dentist check the gum pain at my implant. My x-ray proved no infection at the implant and I had the cleaning. I have very little plaque buildup and take very good care of my teeth regularly. My dentist mentioned enamel wear due to bruxism but didn't feel it necessary to prescribe a splint. Since the exam and cleaning 2 days ago, my gums are so painful that brushing and flossing are very painful as well as eating. I woke from sleep at 2 am and my gums were extremely painful and it was excruciating to clench my teeth together. The teeth pain was a new symptom. In the 2 hours that I've been awake, the tooth pain has greatly subsided, but the gum pain remains. Also, my submanibular lymph nodes on both sides are very tender. I see no rash or discoloration in my gums/mouth. One last comment: I consumed about 10-15 sugar-free mints the evening prior to my dentist appt. I had never had them before. I'm wondering if the sudden whole-mouth gum pain could be an allergic reaction to them. Thank you for your help. Doctor: Hi, Thanks for asking the query, For succesful placement of Dental implants the periodontium and the supporting structures like gums, alveolar bone should be healthy. Pain after implant placement is due to gingivitis, periodontitis, gingival recession, alveolar bone loss. I would suggest you to visit to Dentist and get a checkup done. If there is bone loss flap surgery has to be performed. You maintain a good oral hygiene. Avoid eating hot and spicy foodstuffs. Use chlorhexidine mouthwash gargles twice daily. Hope this helps out.

Doctor: Hi and welcome to Healthcaremagic. Thank you for your query. I am Dr. Rommstein, I understand your concerns and I will try to help you as much as I can.There are two main types of fatty liver disease so treatment depends on this: Alcoholic liver disease and Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease. You can get alcoholic liver disease from drinking lots of alcohol. It can even show up after a short period of heavy drinking, other causes are obesity and hepatitis B and C.If you have alcoholic liver disease and you are a heavy drinker, quitting is the most important thing you can do. Talk to your doctor about how to get help. If you don't stop you could get complications like alcoholic hepatitis or cirrhosis. Even if you have nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, it can help to avoid drinking. If you are overweight or obese, do what you can to gradually lose weight -- no more than 1 or 2 pounds a week.Eat a balanced and healthy diet and get regular exercise. Limit high-carb foods such as bread, grits, rice, potatoes, and corn. And cut down on drinks with lots of sugar like sports drinks and juice. This should lead to improvement. You should repeat your liver markers in 3-4 weeks.I hope I have answered you query. If you have any further questions you can contact us in every time."

It s not joint pain....more like muscle or behind my knee Doctor: Hi,Thanks for your query.your pain is due to Arthritis. When bone is not able to take weight due to arthritis than it has to be shared by muscles. It causes pain in thigh and calf muscles.The following measures will help with the painDo regular Exercise. Exercise can increase your endurance and strengthen the muscles around your joint, making your joint more stable. Stick to gentle exercises, such as walking, biking or swimming. Lose weight if you are obese- Being overweight or obese increases the stress on your weight-bearing joints, such as your knees and your hips. Even a small amount of weight loss can relieve some pressure and reduce your pain.Use heat and cold to manage pain. Both heat and cold can relieve pain in your joint. Heat also relieves stiffness and cold can relieve muscle spasms.I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query.Take care"

Doctor: Hello, Thanks for your query.It seems that wrong body posture; inadequate exercise and reduced muscle tone is taking a toll on your back. For pain to go, it takes not only rest (on a comfortable bed) but also avoidance of particular positions (during work, rest or recreation).During the day don't sit in one position for more than an hour and take frequent stretch breaks. Do not bend forward to lift things up, bend the knees and hips for that. Also discontinue any strenuous activity or exercises for some time.I suggest you to try back strengthening exercises by extension of the back muscles which can be taught by your Physiotherapist.

The influenza virus changes its morphology anually.

You should also check your cholesterol level.I would also recommend you to avoid sweet and carbohydrates in your diet. I hope this answer will be useful for you. let me know if there is any other followup questions.thanks"

What are all the advisable indian(tamil) food i can have? How long i need to follow this? I m a non-veg eater and love to eat snacks as well. Any advice from you that i m starving of these non-veg and snacks for a week itself? Doctor: Hello! Thank you for the query. This is not early stage of jaundice! There is no diet to treat it. There is nothing you can do by yourself. It is strongly advisable for you to get medical help. Your liver tests are very bad and can be life threatening. Such liver tests results can be caused by viral infection, bile ducts blockage, liver cirrhosis, liver cancer. You should have abdominal ultrasound, GGT and AP blood tests, amylase in urine and blood, HAV,HBV,HCV tests. Do not neglect it and get medical help as soon as possible. Hope this will help. Regards."

I am female 59 years old and in pretty good shape. Didn t eat much today and had a wine sangria before dinner didn t know if potassium or magnesium might also cause this type of symptom. There was a nurse their and kept telling me this is not normal Doctor: Hello!Your symptoms could be related to post- prandial hypotension. This disorder can be related to autonomic nervous system dysfunction. The changes in blood electrolytes can lead to cardiac arrhythmia, but they are not related to eating (symptoms occurring after eating are not explained by these changes). I would recommend consulting with your attending physician for a careful physical exam and some tests: - a resting ECG- a chest X ray study- a Head Up tilt test- some blood lab tests (complete blood count, fasting glucose, blood electrolytes). I would also recommend performing a fibro-gastroscopy if these symptoms persist or you have other gastro-intestinal symptoms to exclude possible hiatal hernia. Meanwhile, I would recommend avoid large meals, hypercaloric meals and try to eat more frequently during the day in small portions, in order to avoid distension of your stomach and blood sugar overload. Hope to have been helpful!Best wishes, Dr. Iliri"

Thinking it was a possible allergy reaction I gave him Benedryl--the blotchiness came and went all day. He has no fever and this has not slowed him down at all. Doctor: Hi...Thank you for consulting in Health Care magic.By what you quote it should be an urticarial or a simple skin allergy. You can use Hydroxyzine at 1-2mg/kg/dose every 6th to 8th hourly for 7-10 days. Most important thing to be remembered is that it has a propensity to recur (called as second crop) within 10-14 days. If this happens, you can start using the same medicine but I suggest you get the kid evaluated with your paediatrician.Hope my answer was helpful for you. I am happy to help any time. Further clarifications and consultations on Health care magic are welcome. If you do not have any clarifications, you can close the discussion and rate the answer.

At impact I felt a strong tingle up the back of my neck splne and head area. While at the same time a shooting pain down from my elbow to my rt wrist into my rt hand...and as wild as it sounds it felt like someone was pulling strings out of my fingers...the 3 on the end. It hurt so bad. My neck cramped ,my fingers locked and my elbow at times still feels like someone is sticking a pin into it. Well since then I wake in the nite with finger pain and often my wrist may lock. Also I ve lost the ability to move my fingers and they hurt all the time. My question is...could it be possible I could have some type of nerve damage or circulation disorder develop because of the force and what I felt occurs at the point of impact? Doctor: Hi, Thanks for your query. Shoulder trauma can be associated with injury to nerve fibres. To access the nerve injury you can go for nerve conduction velocity test. I suggest you to get it evaluated by your doctor. Hope this helps you. Warm regards"
