I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. Hepatitis c may occur with hepatitis b. So if you had hepatitis b then there is definite chance of hepatitis c also. Moreover polyclonal gamaglobulinemia is due to infection and inflammation. If monoclonal then its due to malignancy. So if it is polyclonal then no need to worried. Consult your doctor and take treatment accordingly. Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic.

Do a urine pregnancy test at home after one week, if you don't get periods by then. Sometimes ovulation gets delayed, thus pregnancy can happen and tushar test can be negative in 1st week.

Give to her ORS 10ml every 5 min, if she will not drink water you should go to E.R for intravenous dropper for treatment of dehydration.

I have constant pain in right foot/toes that I have been able to control for about 7 to 8 years, but now pain is getting worse in back above fusion and in the front below belly button. I am wondering if I may now have an issue at T-12 ? I am a male if that makes any difference. Doctor: Hi,Thanks for writing in.The spine is made up of an alignment of small bones. These bones have sponge like discs between them and the spinal cord passes along the back of these bones through the spinal canal. There might be pressure on the discs in the dorsal and lumbar spine and this is causing slight pressure on the spinal canal at a particular level and causing pinching of nerve roots leading to severe pain in the area supplied by the nerve. The disc problem which had involved the T 12 - L 1 disc might have affected the discs at other levels also. Besides you also have fused vertebrae at lumbar levels. As your symptoms are on the right it is possible that the nerve roots on the right side are affected.You require to be examined a neurologist and a MRI of the dorsal and lumbar spine if indicated to know if the nerve are under pressure and the location.There are patients who get relief by doing physiotherapy and taking neurogenic pain relievers. Injections are also given for relief. However this might not always happen. If your pain is severe and not responding to medical treatment then the disc protrusion needs to be removed by doing a small surgery at the cervical neck region. Presently, laser assisted surgical techniques are also available.If the pain is mild then it appears to be a minor problem that is treatable. Please do not worry."

Firstly, i would suggest treatment of your secondary infection (if any) with oral and topical antibiotics.The key to successful treatment of scabies lies in treating everyone simultaneously in the family and others who are in close physical contact. Your doctor would prescribe oral drugs like ivermectin which will kill the parasite. You might also be advised application of permethrin 5% cream and a corticosteroid with fusidic acid cream. Apply the medicated creams exactly as advised by your doctor. Take antihistaminics as advised to relieve itching and irritation. Avoid sharing of clothing and toiletries and launder all you bedding and clothes in warm water.Hope this will take care of your issue.Wish you best of health.Thank youDr Hardik Pitroda"

They demand what they like. If you succumb to their demands, they insist again. I don't have explain the whole process. You have very good idea what to do.

This weekend I woke up with a dime sized red spot on my face that almost looked like something had bitten me but no bite spot in center, no itching or anything. The next day I woke up and the red spot was gone but in its place was a very small bruise-looking spot with dry scaly skin on and around the dark spot. It is 3 days later and no change, moisturizer does not help. Should I be worried that this is more skin cancer? Doctor: People who develop skin cancer once have an increased risk of new skin cancers later on. Also fair skinned people, people living at high altitude and those having excessive sun exposure are at an increased risk. What i would have wanted to know is whether the lesion is at the same site as the previous cancer in which case the chances of it being cancer are higher than otherwise. The description that you give is not that of skin cancer. So i would suggest you to take a course of antibiotics (Tab Ciprofloxacin 500mg twice daily for 5 days) and if the lesion still persists or worsens, then show it to a skin specialist. It is more likely to be a benign skin condition."

The stomach pains are definetly to cry about. It feels like someone is stabbing me, above my belly button to the right and left about 3inches. I'm scared! Advice? Doctor: Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic. I can understand your concern. By your history and description, possibility of GERD (gastroesophageal reflux) is more. But better to get done ecg and 2d echo to first to rule out heart diseases because this can cause similar symptoms. If both of these are normal then no need to worry for heart diseases. GERD is due laxity of gastroesophageal sphincter. Because of this the acid of the stomach tends to come up in the esophagus and cause the symptoms of chest pain, pressure, stomach pain etc. So avoid stress and tension, be relax and calm. Avoid hot and spicy food. Avoid junk food. Avoid large meals, instead take frequent small meals. Take proton pump inhibitors and prokinetic drugs. Quit smoking and alcohol if you have these habits. Don't worry, you will be alright. Hope I have solved your query. Wish you good health. Thanks."

I took the ativan for 14 days then stopped. It s been 10 days. I feel shaky and have pain at the top of myhead but not sure if it is still from stopping the ativan or the beta blocker or the aneurysm. Though the specialist won t see me for 8 to 10 months. I m at a lost and tired of feeling this way I can barely walk across a parking lot without feeling lightheaded. Before taking any pills I was feeling fine now I can barely leave the house. Thanks for your advice. Doctor: Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns.As I can tell from your history I suppose the aneurysm was an incidental finding, which is not very uncommon, with several reports reporting a 1% incidence. The strategy management of small aneurysms (less than 7 mm) consist on a angio CT per year to see the dimensions of the aneurysm, which in case they stay identical no treatment is recommended.Regarding the therapy I suppose the doctor saw that you are quite anxious, thus he prescribed the above mentioned ones, which in fact can cause the lighheadness as adverse effect, but the aneurysm is not associated to this, nor to the headache, unless it is a hyperintense hyperacute kind of headache. In that case you should take emergent medical consult.Basically, I would recommend to change your medication for your anxiety and assure you the aneurysm you have is not responsable for none of these symptoms.Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions. Wishing you good health."

Both are ACE inhibitors, but it will be much more economical for me to change since others in my household take enalapril. Would the dosage be the same? Doctor: Hello. Welcome to HCM and thank you for your question. I carefully read your query. Well, as you are aware of, they both are from the same class of drugs (angiontensiogen converting enzyme inhibitors). The effects of these drugs, are a class-effect, which means all the benefits and side effects are dedicated almost equally to every member of this family of drugs. In fact, there are some studies that prefer the usage of always innovative agents, and let the old agents aside. My opinion is that this is not indicative that a more expensive drug should be used, at all costs. In developing countries, such as mine, cost-effectiveness is always an issue, and we receive great results even when we use the older drugs. As I said, this is a class-effect and it is totally safe to switch from one ACE-I to another, and also effective. Of course, bare in mind, that all the ACE-I have the side effect of dry cough, which can happen up to 15% of people using them. In that case, I recommend you to switch to angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB: the \"sartans\"). I hope I was helpful with my answer. Good day. Dr. Meriton"

What concerns me more is she seema to always be very warm and has been having rashes on her arms and legs which the pediatrition said was due to the cold. She is not heavy but she has a hard time tasking anything off and doesn't seem to eat much. Her sister has a auto immume condition. could all this be related? Doctor: Hello,Thank you for asking at HCM.I went through your history and would like to make following suggestions for your daughter:1. Were I treating her, I would suggest her montelukast and an antihistamine like fexofenadine or levocetirizine or cetirizine for 3-5 days. It will improve all itchy eyes, sneezing and rashes.2. It is possible to feel warm when some one has an allergic reaction, due to release of histamine. However, I would suggest you to measure her temperature with a thermometer. If she has fever, I would suggest her paracetamol and tapid sponging.3. If she has repeated such seasonal problems, I would suggest her allergy testing for common air-borne allergens, especially pollens in your region. 4. From your current history, I would not think of any autoimmune condition at present. 5. As she is not eating much and she has a hard time tasking, I would suggest you to check her hemoglobin levels and thyroid function. If they are abnormal, they can be treated.Hope above suggestions will be helpful to you.Should you have any further query, please feel free to ask at HCM.Wish your daughter the best of the health ahead.Thank you & Regards."

I carefully read your question and I understand your concern. I will give you my opinion about this.You explain about fast, racing heart beats and feeling dizzy, light head. My opinion as a cardiologist is that this symptoms are related with some heart rhythm issues. It might be possible that the doctors do not find anything, because you are under normal rhythm when you meat the doctors.This rhythm problem might be different.The most important one is atrial fibrillation. This is an arrhythmia when the heart runs in a chaotic way. This is why you might feel your heart running fast. Also it doesn't wok properly, it doesn't feel normally and for this reason the person might experience dizziness, lightheaded. This rhythm issue might happen once a wile, it comes and go, and so it is difficult to catch it.So, my opinion is that you should do some examinations, where the most important one is holter rhythm monitoring for 48 h. Taking the monitor for 48 h rises the possibility to chatch the rhythm problem if it is any. I don't know if you already did it, but you may repeat it again to rise the possibility to catch something.Also, I will recommend a cardiac echo, a blood analyze to exclude anemia or thyroid gland problems that cause this kind of problems sometimes.If all this examinations result normal,than you should not worry.Only after this we might say that every thing is alright, its just stress.Hope I was helpful. Wish you good health.Best regards."

The congestion went away but in the half way through the antibiotics I began to get a dull head pain around my whole head. It keep me up at night. I could put my head on a pillow. After the meds, I went back to my general doctor. He told me I was getting better. But that night the pain was terrible. I called him the next day and told him something was wrong. He ordered a CT scan and found that I had a sinus infection in the frontal sinus' and ethmoid (spelling) sinus'. Since I am allergic to pennicillin, they put me on Cipro but later switched me to Biaxin. It has been slowly getting better, but I still have a dull ache around my head and nerviouness. It wakes me up a couple hours after I fall asleep. Could the CT scan have missed something or (since I've never had a sinus infection before) is this part of the sinus infection? Doctor: HI, thanks for using healthcare magicThe dullness implies that the sinuses are still congested somewhat.In addition to the antibiotics, you would need to consider a decongestant and antihistamine.A topical and oral decongestant may help. These are available over the counter.Also a topical steroid nasal spray may help as well. This includes meds such as nasonex, nasocort, rhinocort, flonase.I hope this helps"

Obviously, my mouth had some irritation from the bite being off. Within this time I also found out I was pregnant. Since my last bite adjustment, about a day later, I have had severe pain in my jaw. It wraps around the top jaw line around to the bottom. Taking tylenol and applying an icepack do make the pain go away, until the tylenol has worn off. I am a known tooth grinder, but can this pain be all muscle related from the grinding? I have switched to soft foods to help eliminate more chewing than neccessary. The pain is the worst at night. And I definately wake up right at the 4 hour mark when the tylenol has worn off. My dentist is not in for another day, which will make it 5 days with the pain. I am worried that there might be something more than just muscle issues from grinding. And being pregnant makes the worry even more. Any help would be appreciated. Doctor: Thanks for using Health Care agic.Read your query.Since you are pregnant ,taking panadol and ice pack is the good option.Pain in the tooth associated with postural variation pain and associated symptoms suggests the tooth being pulpally involved(irreversible pulpitis).I would suggest you to have the filling removed and have the root canal treatment done.Hope this was helpful.Thanks and regards."

These things happen across the world. I am not denying the fact there are genuine relationships also.You should take care of yourself. You are just 17 and you should concentrate yourself in your studies. Please do not indulge in affairs, especially through social platforms. You shall do all those after the age of 21 after completion of your studies. If you require more of my help in this aspect, Please post a direct question to me in this website.

This treatment cleared up everything. The lymphoma came back in late 2011 and after the same amount of treatments I m again in remission. My biggest problem now is this vasculitis is now on my kidney. I had a kidney biopsy in 2011 and it is this LCV. After treatment for lymphoma my kidneys got better but now it s been back since 6/2013. My kidneys bleed as they did in 2011 which caused me to get 3 units of blood to replace the blood lost in my kidneys. Right now my kidneys still bleed and hurt , it s also on my gastrointestinal track. My blood pressure is once again out of control as it was in 2011 and half of 2012. I had a mini stroke and was in ICUS in 4/2012. My immune system is in terrible shape and I m struggling to try to keep this all in control and find a cure. I ve found several years ago that my vasculitis flares up worse when I do any type of activity. I was a very active hard working Licensed Electrician for over 20 years before my diagnosis. I have never been anywhere close to lazy but I must start being extremely lazy if I plan to stop this spread to other organs. I was also diagnosed with a brain tumor in 1/2010 it was an inch and now is a little over 2 inches, it s ok for now but due to all my health issues were just monitoring it. I hope to learn something from you all and possibly you can learn from my experience with this disease. Stress of any kind makes this LCV worse.

Doctor: Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.It is not clear what your symptoms are. There is no such thing as acid burning in the brain and even if you had some sort of infection of the prostate and the urethra, it doesn't have anything to do with the brain.Terms like amino acid infection do not make any sense either. So please, if you really need our help, try not to make conclusions but list your symptoms, their evolution in time, and if any tests have been done or medicines have been used up to now.I leave it at your disposal for other questions.Hope I have answered your query.

She has had a bad cough for about 10 days and occasionally coughs up clear thick mucous. She runs a fever in the late afternoon and evening (oral 99 to 101) that responds to ibuprofen. The ER said it was an allergy to the red dye in the new children s advil i bought (i ve always bought the orange). But now she s starting with the blotchy, itchy legs again tonight without Ibuprofen. She s had a dose of benedryl and the oral prednisone 7.5 cc. Any advice? Doctor: Hello, I appreciate your concerns.First, I would strongly advise you to add hydroxyzine (an anti histamine) to the benadryl. It works very well and the rash as well as itching decreases soonSecond, think of all the food and any other medicines you have given her on the day, and the day prior to appearance of the rash both times.If you find something in common, try avoiding that to prevent an allergic rash again. Hope this helped you. Ask your doctor to add Hydroxyzine for the rash and itchiness"

When I arrived to the Vaughn Regional Medical Center in Selma, AL I could turn my foot upside down. I worked as a Licensed Practical Nurse. I worked approx. ten years after that date. The injury was in 2003. Since then I am experiencing extreme pain to both ankles but worse to the left ankle. I also has developed Narcolepsy(sleep apnea). I applied for social security and was denied and went to the reading and was denied. I am now awaiting for my Attorney( Micki Beth Stiller) to apply for a appeal for the decision.

Thank You for your time. Gwendolyn Fails Doctor: Hello Mr fails, I could understand that u have been operated thrice may b for one other reasons, now u could have developed kind of reflex sympathetic dystrophy with stiffness in ankle so best treatment would be to go for physiotherapy, do warm water streching exercises, wear pepper able socks while walking, keep Limb elevated, and take medicines like Ultracet, lympedium, rantac&multivitamin. Send me x rays for further study & need some blood investigation. Let me know how did u felt after advice. Thanks."

Depending the indication for your operation, your doctor may suggest MRI to exclude certain other possibilities * When you climb the stairs,or lift /push a buggy,the abdominal muscles naturally get tight. The pain you feel is due to weakness of abdominal muscles /stretching of the scar. This will reduce over few more months . You can start light abdominal exercises to strengthen your abdominal muscles. Pain killers will give you temporary relief. Thank you."
