Is it any thing I should worry about? It has only started to happen in the last 2weeks. Thanks Doctor: Hello, The symptoms you have described suggest the possibility of neurological conditions like peripheral neuropathy. Detailed evaluation is needed to find out the cause for this condition. As of now you can check your blood sugar level as uncontrolled diabetes can cause this symptoms. As of now you can take vitamin B12 supplements for symptomatic relief. If symptoms persist, better to consult a neurologist and get evaluated. Hope I have answered your query.

I know there s probably a few reasons, but given this recent background of her health?? Thank you. Very worried mom Doctor: Hello,Any infection if severe can suppress bone marrow. And this is responsible for low WBC (white blood cells) count. So better to start injectable antibiotics for control of infection. She may need leucovorin injection to stimulate bone marrow for producing WBCs. Once her infection is controlled, she will have a normal WBC count. Hope I have answered your query.

I have never had such intense cramping or pain before, and now I am a little scared. It has subsided as of 3-4 minutes ago. Doctor: Hi, You may have too much potassium, and taking potassium and/or magnesium will make your cramps worse (magnesium increases the retention of potassium). Sometimes, people on these medications have normal potassium, but still are getting unexplained cramps, even after supplementing with magnesium. In my experience of talking to hundreds of customers, these above medications are highly connected to cramps. It's not clear how, but I suspect they are able to cause cramps. Also check for other possibilities like iron deficiency or panic attack or restless leg syndrome etc. Use muscle relaxant, check for serum potassium levels. If symptoms not improved please consult your physician he will examine and treat you accordingly. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further."

Nothing to worry. You can apply pain killing balm or gel on that area to relieve the pain. Adopt proper posture, no sideways turning of head and upper body during sleep. Get a urine test if kidney stone is suspected. If you develop fever, back pain and burning sensation on passing urine you would need medical help to take care of a possible urinary infection which should not be neglected. Drink plenty of water.

He says it feels like a wave coming over him...not painful, not short of breath, not rapid heart...but it is a very uncomfortable feeling. It usually occurs when he is laying down or resting in his easy chair...however, it did occur the other day while he was walking in the yard. Any suggestions? Doctor: Hi,Thank you for posting your query.I have noted your husband's complaints.Neurological diseases where symptoms occur in \"episodes\" (that is, the patient is normal in between the episodes) are TIA and seizures.In TIA-transient ischemic attack, the blood supply to a part of brain is reduced for a while. In seizures, there are abnormal electrical discharges arising from a part of brain.The diagnosis can be confirmed by history, MRI brain and EEG.

Doctor: Hello, First of all, if you feel you have damaged the ligament how did you diagnose it? Any physician mentioned or any MRI taken. If neither of it then MRI is suggested. We need to check the grade of injury first of all. If it's fully torn then stabilization of the knee in crepe bandage or knee brace is advised. Icing to reduce the swelling is advised too. Since it's a total torn so we need to ask you to not put any weight on the injured limb. In case it's partially torn then need to check out the grade 1/2 of injury. The procedure is same as above. Only in this, you can do simple knee range of motion exercises, static Quadriceps, static hamstring, straight leg raise, ankle toe movements, core stability, hip muscle strengthening etc. Since you must be aware of the post ACL reconstruction rehabilitation program which you can follow. Please note, if fully torn then no weight application. If only partial torn then the weight bearing should go from 25-100% over a period of 4 weeks. Hope I have answered your query.

Doctor: Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.Meth doesn't cause herpes per se, but if you are infected, you might have more frequent outbreaks because of the stress the meth puts on your body. But, whiteheads are not the same as herpes cold sores.Those are groups of blisters on a red base that occurs in a localized area, usually in the same place each time. People who use meth regularly can get other problems with lesions on their face, and often pick at them and this can cause all sorts of damage.I think what you have, sounds more like acne and is related to the meth.

My partner is nearly 47 years old and we are young at heart and physically fit for our age. My partner only has one testicle due to his other one being strangulated a few years ago. I have regular periods and have used a test to see if i am ovulating..which i am. Is it possible for me to get pregnant at my age? How can we improve our chances? Would we have any choices in relation to having IVF , due to our age? How can i tell if my eggs are still healthy? I would prefer to use my own eggs..is this possible? Thank you for your help. Doctor: Hello At 46, you are obviously aware that conception will be difficult, if not impossible. IVF is the only way ahead for you. Your partner's semen analysis is essential due to the testicular injury. Also, you can assess your egg forming capacity by testing your ovarian reserve. This is done by estimating AFC ( antral follicular count ) on ultrasound, measuring hormones like AMH ( anti mullerian hormone ) and FSH and LH on day 2. This would tell you if your own eggs can be used for IVF Your endometrial status needs to assessed for IVF also. Please consult a reputed Infertility Specialist and go for detailed testing and evaluation at the earliest, kindly do not waste more time. Take care."

I have ran a low grade fever for a few days and of course my mind automatically goes to cancer with those symptoms. However, I do have allergies and a possible sinus infection right now And a lot of stress/ anxiety as I am starting a new job and just moved. Thoughts? Doctor: Welcome to Healthcaremagic You have been diagnosed with Sinusitis (inflammation of the sinuses). All of these symptoms can be easy attributed to sinusitis. Sinusitis at times can be difficult to treat at times. Although your worry is genuine in the sense that a malignancy can have the symptoms of low grade fever and sweating however it should also have other symptoms such as weight loss, decrease in appetite and excessive fatigue etc. Still one should not go to that extent since there has been a diagnosis that is easily explaining your symptoms. If on the other hand there was no obvious cause for these symptoms only then one should think of investigating your symptoms on the lines for a malignancy. So it would be best at present to stay calm and follow your treating doctor's advice and ultimately get better. Getting anxious at this place in time would only disturb your life (both professional and social) and that of others (your loved ones) and would also not serve any purpose. Hope This was Helpful Best wishes Dr Ali"

Yesterday, she didn t throw up but she did have gas and her stool was a bit like an avocado green with some white patches that looked like when milk is spoiled. We took her to urgent care on Friday night and the doctors said to give her Pedilalyte and don t give her a bottle until the following evening. we tried that but by baby doesn t seem to like the Pedialyte and drinks very little water, so we had no choice but to give her a bottle. Any suggestions? Thank You...By the way, no fever. Doctor: Hello,It seems your kid is having viral diarrhea. Once it starts it will take 5-7 days to completely get better. Unless the kid's having low urine output or very dull or excessively sleepy or blood in motion or green bilious vomiting. There is no need to use antibiotics unless there is blood in the motion. Antibiotics might worsen if unnecessarily used causing antibiotic-associated diarrhea.I suggest you use zinc supplements (Z&D drops once daily for 14 days) & ORS (Each small packet mixed in 200ml of potable water and keep giving sip by sip) as hydration is very important and crucial part of treatment. If there is vomiting you can use syrup Ondansetron (as prescribed by your pediatrician). Regarding diet - You can use cerelac any flavor will do. Avoid fruit juices as they might aggravate diarrhea. You can give zinc supplements & ORS apart from normal vegetarian porridges & soups.Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.Regards,Dr. Sumanth Amperayani"

I didn t experience any cold sweat, appetite loss, sudden weight loss (though it would be nice if that happen). No headache, vision or loss of balance either.

As you have a prolonged sitting job chances are more towards the root compression.

He has had Motrin and is icing it and keeping the leg elevated. Is this something that can wait until the morning rather than wasting our time tonight in the ER Doctor: Hi there,I completely agree that I think you would be wasting your time in the ER (as well as overpaying). I would keep your son's leg elevated, ice him with 15 minutes of ice on, 15 minutes off, and have him rest the leg. Motrin is fine for pain and it may also help with swelling. It would be reasonable to continue to see how he does - if his pain isn't improving, you can take him to his regular doctor or an urgent care that has x-ray cabaplities in the morning, or even wait a couple days if he's improving.I hope this helps!"

Then 4 months back i meet my family doctor the one who gave me birth control pills and she suggested me to take glycomet 500 tablet and its been since 4 months but still no result and i am gaining weight and i have irregular periods but last month at menstrual time i did not get the enough bleeding and it was same this month also , please help me how i can improve my firtility and get pregnancy soon and how i can get free from this bilateral polycystic ovaries Doctor: Hello thanks for your query. PCOD ( polycystic ovarian disease ) is one of the most common conditions affecting women in reproductive age group. It is characterized by multiple small follicles in the ovaries, of which none ovulate, and hence, pregnancy is a problem ALongwith you may have other conditions like diabetes, insulin resistance, increased androgens in the body etc and irregular periods. Please follow an Infertility Specialist, and have your complete workup for PCOD done which includes FSH, LH, adrenal hormones, thyroid profile and blood sugars. Also, your partners semen testing is essential. What was the pattern during the previous IUI ? Did you successfully ovulate? If not you need further medication/injections to help you ovulate. Since you are 26, you have time on your side. Please go for tubal patency testing ( laparoscopy ) as advised and then for further IUI./ IVF. Please remember that weight reduction and an active, healthy lifestyle are the key factors to control PCOD. Take care"

I just want to know from experts whether any such cases have been diagnosed with similar symptoms and wanted to take some advice. Doctor: Hi, thanks for using health care magic. i have gone through your available history. In psychological cause of urinary incontinence, it happens only during stress or occasionally. If she has persistent symptoms, it is advisable to go for urodynamic study to rule out urinary tract pathology. You can consult good urologist for the same. pelvic floor exercises like kegel, can be of some help. I dont think TB lymphnode can be a cause of urinary incontinence. thanks. i hope she will be fine soon"

Its caused due to bacterial or sometimes fungal infection.Overweight can increase the friction and thus predispose to intertrigo.I would suggest you oral antibiotics and antifungal tablets for few days along with application of antibiotic cream like fusidic acid and antifungal cream like clotrimazole twice a day for few weeks.Use dusting powder containing clotrimazole on daily basis to keep area dry and reduce friction.Try to reduce weight and maintain hygiene.Avoid tight undergarments and use cotton garments as far as possible.Hope this will help youTake careDr Hardik Pitroda"

Doctor: Hi Dear,Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of severe hair loss which can occur due to many reasons and in your case it seems main due to fluctuation in hormone levels.Need not to worry. I would suggest you to - Take a diet rich in supplements like Vitamin A, Omega-3 and Vitamin E. - Take a protein-rich diet and healthy food intake on a daily basis. - Avoid using shampoos that contain excessive chemicals. - Go for hormone replacement therapy if required.- Do massage of hair scalp on a daily basis. If symptoms keep on persisting visit dermatologist once and get it examined and start treatment with antifungal medication and shampoo. Mastubation as no effects as such. Hope your concern has been resolved.Best WishesDr. Harry Maheshwari"

It is exceedingly painful and hard to bend on either side. It is especially painful on the left side of my foot. Is my foot broken? Doctor: Hello, As mentioned that in anger you have hit are your foot to the hard object, you forgot to mention which foot actually it is; the right or the left? As you mentioned on the left side of the foot it still makes unclear that which left the side of which foot right or the left? But to make it simple if you are getting pain at the ankle level then there will be a ligament sprain. Which will heal in 2-3 weeks of time provided you use a foot brace which is something like a hard socks. In case if the pain is in the phalanges then also you need to take the brace as with just hitting the foot on the hard object we never develop a fracture. As the intensity of the hit from outside is actually far less because we control the movements. In case if it was a non controlled movement than we could have expected a fracture. Use hot water fermentation and use the foot brace for 2-3 weeks. Later slowly follow ankle toe moments and try walking on the toes - forward and backwards. You should perform well. On a safety note, I would advise you to take up a quick x-ray to make sure you haven't made any big injury. In case you have any other questions please feel free to contact me. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Regards, Jay Indravadan Patel, Physical Therapist or Physiotherapist"
