Hello, My name is Wanda I am a 40year old female with type one diabetes (have had it for 7 years ) I have had a tooth infection in my gums for honestly on and off for about 2 years it swells up then bursts with yellowish clear pus above a tooth which needs to be pulled. I have felt like Ive had a sinus cold for the past few weeks and then discovered a sore on the inside of my left nostil.. could they be connected
|
Hello Wanda and welcome. Thanks for sharing your concern. The roots of upper molars are in very proximity with the maxillary sinus above.Therefore, sometimes it becomes difficult to diagnose whether the patient presents pain due to tooth infection or sinusitis. But clinical evaluation with supporting x-rays makes it clear whether the origin of infection is teeth or sinus.Therefore, in my view please meet your dentist/ENT specialist for a sinus view x-ray. This will make things pretty clear.Meanwhile, do take good care of yourself.ET us know for further doubts. Thanks. Take care.

Im suffering from Kidney stone Problem from the last one week.After Taking Scanning of Abdominal Pelvic, it showed a 4mm Stone in Right Kidney. Our Family Doctor is Continuously Monitoring the Development and assured me that the stone will vanish after due medication.Further, one of my friend is Asking me for saline infusion of 2-3 bottles (glucose drip) with other prescribed injections infused there in, so that continuous hydration would help keeping the urine dilute and actually may help flush out small stones. Is it safe to Undergo drip in Private Clinic under supervision of the Practicing Doctor !
|
Welcome to Chat Doctor. Flush therapy is helpful, but it depends upon location, size of stone. Flush therapy is always helpful for stone up to 7\u00a0mm. But stone should be in the urinary tract. If stone is in the kidney than it will be less helpful. You have to be watchful for back pressure, also go for RBS, S.creatinine before flush therapy. Chat Doctor. Also go for stone analysis and 24 hrs urine investigation to know the type of stone, so there will be specific guideline of diet management to prevent recurrence.

At age of 12, I have been electrocuted while replacing a lamp for 5-10 mins. My family asked the neighbours about what should do about this matter and they said I will be ok through time. 2 years have passed and I was fine. But one day while sleeping I felt there is electricity moving in my body rapidly and I woke up in hospital after 15 mins. By that day, I experienced dizziness, light-headedness everyday for 3 years and I went to many doctors during the 3 years and made many tests but I was ok and they told me dizziness will go away throw time. However, until now I experiencing dizziness and light-headedness.

Thank you for asking Chat Doctor. My name is Chat Doctor. As your age is quite young, there is nothing too much worry about if you didn't experienced skin burn due to electric shock and if there was no loss of consciousness along with vertigo and omitting at time of incident. Get visit to medical consultant and do an ECG and complete blood and urine count. If these reports are normal then this might be due to psychological effects for which seeking advice from psychiatrists will be good option. Till then take good diet and

My father in law just had surgery to replace a heart valve as well as bypass surgery. He has several perforating bleeding gastric ulcers that had to be closed via surgery. He was given many pints of blood to replace what he lost through the ulcers. The doctors said the ulcers were caused by the leaky heart valve. He is 90 years old and had been in good health until a month ago. What is the connection between the heart valve and the ulcers?
|
Hi Dear Xxx.! Thank you for posting you question here. Yes as the treating doctor said it's a good connection between heart problems and peptic ulcer especially in elders. I would explain why

I am a 68 year old male for past three months I have a stinging painlike sensation when pushing or squeezing area adjacent to left nipple. My doctor, an internist, told me not to worry about it, but I am still concerned about it. When I take a warm bath and put warm to hot water over it with a wash cloth the problem subsides. The left breast feels firmer than the right breast but it is same size. What could this be?
|
Hi, Thanks for choosing Chat Doctor. According to your complaints it looks like an infection around the needle. It may be just an infected sebaceous cyst also. Consult a physician and take a course of painkillers and antibiotics. Usually it should subside. If not, then you will have to undergo further investigations for a proper diagnosis. So my advice is don't delay and get a correct treatment at the earliest as your age fits in high risk category patients. Pl. feel free to ask if you have any other doubts. Thanks and take care.

what can continue to cause symptoms after cardiomyopathy for hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. I have symptoms like I am having a heart attack. The doctors in the ER now treat me like a frequent flyer. My symptoms are real. I am disabled now but use to work as a RN. It scares me to ignore them..
|
Hello, The symptoms of chest pain, palpitation and breathlessness on exertion are very commonly seen in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. The symptoms of angina (like you are having heart attack) are real and occur not because there is decrease blood supply because of blockages but because the normal blood supply is nit able to provide enough blood to hypertropChatDoctoruscle, causing chest pain. Medication and specific.treatment for hypertrophic cardiomyopathy should be considered and that will help resolve symptoms. Any further clarification needed to let me know. Regards Chat Doctor.

Hey, um so I just want to get some facts on my chest pain, had if for about 2 months now on and off, only happens when I wake up from drinking alot of alcohol the night before , it s a sharp tight pain, I also feel like I can t breath or that I m going to die. I am a daily smoker , drug abuser and alcohol use. I m just curious to know why it s happening and why has it only been coming on the last 2 months. I m a 17 year old male so it s kinda scaring me I got bad chest pains at such a young age . Also with the chest pains I feel dizzy, my arms and legs go numb and tingly like pins and needles, im short of air and its just a really unpleasant feeling. I should also tell you that I was hospitalized from it about 2 months ago , they ran scans and only told me thy i had severe lung scaring from smoking. Thanks fo taking your time to read this as please get back to me ASAP . Josh
|
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. N my opinion we should first rule out cardiac and pulmonary causes. Since you are smoker chances of cardiac and pulmonary diseases are more. So first get done ECG to rule out cardiac cause. Get done PFT (Pulmonary Function Test) to rule out bronchitis. If all of the above are normal than your chest pain is due to HERD(Castro Esophageal Reflux Disease). It is due to laxity of gastroesophageal sphincter. And due to this acid of the stomach tends to come up in the esophagus and cause the symptoms. Smoking and alcohol both make this sphincter loose and cause reflux. So better to quit alcohol and smoking as soon as possible. Eat healthy and stay fit.

my brother in law has rectal cancer. had surgery to remove tumor. he was not abl to get chemo due to low tolerance. radiation produced scar tissue and a second surgery is too risky. pet scan lit up in bladder tailbone and lymph nodes away from orig tumor site. doctors are saying it is too complicated for them to treat. referred them to mayo clinic for second opinion. he is going down fast. how long if no treatment?
|
Hi, Thanks for writing in. I understand that your brother-in-law is having a cancer with local spread. Post surgery the primary cancer has been removed, but the disease process has continued to involve other areas; the sacrum and pelvic lymph nodes. In such situations, he can get high intensity focused radiation treatment if possible as decided by his oncologist to slow down the disease progress as he is not healthy enough to with stand chemotherapy. This way his disease progress can be slowed down but not stopped. The survival in such cases is usually 12 months to 15 months without treatment. I hope the second opinion at Mayo Clinic helps in improving his over all survival.

Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor, Cat is a known reservoir of rabies virus, and it has got all the potential to transmit rabies which is 100% fatal, but it is 100% preventable by proper and adequate treatment. As there was a bleeding following cat bite, according to WHO categorization this is categorized into Cat III, which should be manged by1. Wash the wound with soap and water.2. Active immunization with anti rabies vaccine on days 0,3,7,14 and 28.3. Passive immunization with anti rabies serum around the wound.4. Oral antibiotics like Tab Augmenting, 625 mg, twice daily for five days. The aforementioned measures should be followed to prevent rabies in you. Thank you.

My right knee all the way down to my ankle will swell to twice the size of my other leg. Behind my knee is swollen like a tennis ball sticking out blood vessels have showed up everywhere. It feels like it has fever and is very painful.I went to ER and they said they coucouldn t find anything. Please help me Im in tears.
|
Dear user, Firstly to control your pain, while you get further investigations. There are a couple of things that will help1. Regular painkillers. Start with regular over the counter Paracetamol (if you are not allergic or have liver problems). You can add on stronger pain killers like Diclofenac(make sure you get a prescription for some PPI e.g. Pantoprazole, Omeprazole to protect your stomach with this), Tramadol, Oxycodone(with this you might need a laxative) for the first few days. 2. Pressure Stocking. You can start with class 2 elastic stockings above knee. Your pharmacist should be able to help with sizing.3. Avoid prolonged standing3. Elevate your leg when you're sitting or lying to help reduce the swelling. This swelling could be because of Varicose veins, Cellulitis due some infection around your foot or leg, DVT(deep vein thrombosis; this is one of more serious problems where a deep system of veins is blocked and blood keeps pooling in the legs). While you are dealing with pain, try and get an appointment with a Vascular Surgeon, if not get your doctor to examine and refer you to them. They will be able to look at the veins in your leg and the ball of vessels behind your knee. They might need to do some scans though. In the meantime, stockings and elevation should help with discomfort anyway. Thanks

why do i have constant feelings of faintness, though I never faint? I have really bad anxiety so I wonder if it is that. When I have these attacks, my pulse seems very slow and weak. I just get really light-headed, faint, weak legs, and then I get nervous. When I eat something sugary, I usually feel better. Am I not taking in enough sugar? I would say I get a total of 15grams of added sugar a day, and thats it. The rest is from natural ingredients like fruit and dairy. I am 19 year old female and active
|
Welcome to Chat Doctor! I have read your question, and it says that you have anxiety problem, but now you develop dizziness, light-headedness, weak legs, and get better by eating sugar. I think that it is related to your anxiety, or you may be having low blood pressure, as it is not mentioned anywhere that you eat less...so, it is less likely to be related to low sugar levels... From my experience of seeing such patients, I can say that it is quite a common presentation in which such symptoms get relieved when patient takes something sugary/ starchy...and due to this there is weight gain also... If you what to confirm, you may go for blood pressure readings, sugar levels-- fasting and PP, this will tell if you have low sugar levels or not. One may also check sugar when you develop such symptoms... Once the blood pressure and sugar levels found to be within normal limits...please, see a psychiatrist and discuss your problem in detail. Medicine will help you a lot, within few days you will start felling much better. So, see a doctor and get blood test done! In any case, it is not a serious problem, but needs attention. Take release ask if you have any other query

Hello, last year I was diagnosed with HPV after having a pap smear test done. My gynecologist performed a cone biopsy and until recently my pap tests have all turned out negative.I was told I will always have the virus in my body and have to always use condom so as not to pass the HPV to my current boyfriend. I want to know if my body really will not get cured from this and should I always keep using condoms? Thanks for your reply
|
At this time, unfortunately, there is no cure available for HPV, and it does remain in your body. Hopefully someday a cure will be found, but for now you should always use a condom, so the infection is not transmitted. The other thing is that you have had the HPV for a while so its possible your boyfriend has already picked up the infection. Men typically get little bumps or growths on their genital area. It's not easy to check for this infection in men until the lesions become obvious. In any case, you should still use condoms because he may not have gotten the disease yet, and you could prevent that from happening. Hope this helps.

I have had high risk encounters (gay) and have a rash with puss all over my chest does not itch but have had itfor about two weeks now. Also have this pain in my lower abdomin on the right side and left side, it moves from side to side. The pain seems to be worse in the early morning and at bed time. Im married and worried as hell. I do not have sex with the wife but worried that I could pass something on to her or some one else. Help!
|
Hello, Thanks for the query to Chat Doctor. Forum. I would come up with these possibilities for this type of purulent discharge from the chest, This includes.1 Gonorrhea, diagnosis can be confirmed by gram stain & culture from purulent discharge.2 Syphilis tertiary stage, as you didn't mention the exact history so very difficult to say something. Diagnosis can be confirmed by treponamal test.3 Side by side pain in lower abdomen and more in the morning and evening is also due to s t d, as genitals may have involved. Diagnosis can be confirmed by V D R L test .4 May be Memphis, diagnosis can be confirmed by C B C and physical examination by a physician. In my opinion get in blood for V D R L, c b c & ESR and deal accordingly. Good luck.

Hi Dear, Understanding your concern. As per your query rashes in penis seems to be due to yeast infection of skin. Need not worry. I would suggest you to wear keep area clean and Chat Doctor. Wear loose and cotton clothes. You should apply topical antifungal ointment i.e. Clotrimazole over the affected area as it will give immediate relief. If symptoms keep on persisting visit dermatologist once and get it examined completely and start treatment after thorough examination. Hope your concern has been resolved. Best Wishes,

Hi my name is Kate. yesterday I noticed a bruise on my calf with a lump in the middle that s found like a marble it hurts to put my leg down flat and also hurts to walk. what s going on with me. the bruise is dark and yellowish in some spots help me out here please
|
Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor, A lump in the middle of the calf associated with a bruise is suggestive of hematoma formation. Is there any history of trauma to the leg. Trauma can lead to internal bleeding, bruising and hematoma formation. In case there is history of trauma or injury, hot fomentation and painkillers will help to relive the pain and swelling. In case there is no history of trauma, you need to consult your doctor for clinical assessment and relevant investigations. Thanks and take care Chat Doctor.

|
DearWelcome to ChatDoctorWe understand your concerns went through your details. ADD and anxiety are mental disorders, and you should have known by now that these mental disorders cannot be cured with the help of only medicines. Change in lifestyle, thinking pattern and understanding the mental illness is the first step towards the cure. Usually, a combination of medicine, psychotherapy, meditation and exercises are given to these patients. As your daughter is already under psychiatric treatment, you should talk to the psychiatrist about psychotherapy and meditation. He will direct you to a psychologist.

hi doctor..i m 22 years old... i m suffering from acne ( pus filled) from 8 years.. tried all kinds of treatment, creams, pills, peeling session... just got temporary relief... still have severe acne and acne scars ....i have little facial hair too.. i have very oily skin and dandruff too... i recently had an ultrasound... n came to know about a small cyst in my left ovary... please suggest me some homeopathic treatment
|
Hi thrash. Thanks for your query. Well firstly I want to emphasize on the point that main cause of all your symptoms like acne, oily skin, facial hairs, Dan Chat Doctor. .cyst in the ovary causes many hormonal changes in the body which will eventually lead to the above symptoms, in the near future u may have many cysts in your ovary which is attributed as pod(polycystic ovarian disease) which may increase your problems. U may put on more weight and period will be irregular if that happens. But nothing to worry. There is complete and permanent cure in homeopathy for the condition u have.we have already treated many patients like u. So better consult an experienced homeopath doctor nearby.I hope I have cleared your query. If u have any further doubts or followup queries feel free to discuss. Wil be happy to clear them. Take care...

Hi, i have a son who is 7 months old. He was having fever today and my family doctor got his blood report done in which WBC is showing close to 11500. He also shown a sign of my son having a heart murmur. Can you please share the criticality of this 2 points.
|
Hi, If he does not have any other symptoms apart from fever, this is probably a viral fever, and we need not worry. A total count of 11500 is also expected here, and of no concern. Just give him paracetamol three tomes daily. He will be alright in 2-3 days. Get back to doctor if fever not subsiding in 3 days, he becomes lethargic or not taking feeds. It is quite common to have minor heart murmurs in child Chat Doctor. This is because of hyperdynamic state(physiological increase in blood flow during fever). Let your pediatrician recheck the same after fever has subsided. Only if it is persisting and significant, you may be asked for an ECHO test. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care

I had a tooth absess removed and prior to the removal they felt it and it was liquidity and somewhat soft day of tooth extraction it became hard and painful and was in cheeck. They removed tooth 4 days ago I still have soft liquidity lump now in jaw line where tooth was removed.
|
Hi. Thanks for your query and an elucidated history. Noted your history of tooth extraction, tooth abscess and lump in the jawline. This is most probably an abscess or a lymph nodes secondary to an abscess. Get a proper antibiotic and anti-inflammatory medicines again and see the results. You can get your blood tested for WBC and rule out diabetes as there is a small chance. Ultrasonography helps to decided whether this is a mass effect like a lymph node, antibiotic or a true abscess. IF a true abscess is present, this needs to be Chat Doctor.

For the past week or so, I have felt tired all day and usually end up just wanting to lie on the sofa and sleep. I also have a weird feeling occasionally in my chest and get shortness of breath doing trivial things. I am overweight and I do suffer from depression. What is your opinion?
|
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your situation and problem. In my opinion, we should first rule out cardiac cause for your symptoms. Because you are having the following risk factors for cardiac disease.1. Obesity2. Depression. So get done1. ECG2. 2d echo to rule out cardiac cause. If both are normal than no need to worry much for cardiac disease. Your symptoms are mostly due to depression. Overweight is also due to depression. So consult psychiatrist and get done counseling sessions. Discuss your problems and worry with psychiatrist and try to find out solution for it. You may need antidepressants too.

Hi, I am wondering if there is a possibility if my mother-in-law has CHF, I am a nurse and everything seems to fit. She is constantly out of breath, tired all the time, cant walk more than 3 feet,coughing up clear phlegm 24hrs a day, ankle edema, 4 years ago she had heart surgery - valve and 2 arteries, diabetic, overweight. Everytime I check her lungs I hear crackles in the right side, but the dr. says it is clear.
|
Dear friend... I have gone through your question. The symptoms you have mentioned in the questions point towards a congestive cardiac failure. The symptoms of cough and breathlessness will be more when the patient is in lying down position. The sputum she coughs out will be frothy and pink. You have to get an ECHO cardiogram done to assess the ejection fraction. A cardiology consultation should be done immediately and appropriate Chat Doctor. The fluid intake should be restricted, and urine output should be monitored. She requires emergency cardiology consultation because if her cardiac failure decompensates, she can develop an acute life-threatening pulmonary edema. Hope my share of knowledge has helped you. Thank you.

Hi docI was suffering from severe wisdom tooth eruption pain for last 7 days. I took ibuprofen when the pain became unbearable at times. Now since yesterday i did not feel that pain and i can see a new tooth emerging on my left lower jaw. Does that mean everything is normal now that my tooth has finally erupted?
|
Glad to hear your pain is gone! Just because the tooth is in, and your pain is gone may not mean all is normal. Since all wisdom teeth tend to erupt around the same time frame, a visit to a dentist to have these teeth evaluated is in order. More often than not, wisdom teeth have decay, are in a poor or crowded position resulting in difficulties cleaning the wisdom tooth and/or adjacent teeth. If any of the above are present, removal is usually the best option.

My daughter is six years old and went in for her yearly visit today. A urine sample revealed white blood cells. they will be sending to the lab for testing. Should I be concerned. What is the likely best case and worst case reasons for white blood cells in urine of a 6 yr old female child
|
Hello. I just read through your question. Our bodies use white blood cells to fight infection. We all have a baseline number of white blood cells in our bodies. These numbers increase when we have infections, even something as simple as a cold. An excess of white blood cells in the urine can sometimes be a sign of urinary tract infection, but not always. The culture will determine if there is an infection present. If there is, your doctor will prescribe an antibiotic to cure the infection. If there isn't, then there is no concern at all.

Dear Sir My blood group is B+ and i married to a girl whose blood group is also B+ (Same blood group).Will it cause any problem for child birth ? Will it cause any mental or physical problem with child in future.Please tell me its negative and positive effect if any.

Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You will not have any problems due to blood group. Your blood group and your spots blood group is same. It has no effect on childbirth or baby or no any other complications occur due to that. So don't worry about that. Just be relaxed. Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Wish you a very good health.

Fell on left knee on feb 23, 2014. Fell on escalator. Punctured a small hole in knee that oozed for about 4 days. Had large knot on knee. I could barely walk the next few days. Pain lessened but stairs where almost impossible to manage for about a mouth after fall. Seemed to not be able to hold my weight. Now three months later, knee at times feels weak and aches. Hard knot is still on knee and now I have noticed that I have a pain in my thigh when I sit for too long. Should I break down and see a doctor or just suck it up ?
|
Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You have history of trauma. So you have high chance of hematoma development. It causes lump or knot. You may have some ligament tear or meniscus injury. You should go for MRI of knee. It will give you exact idea regarding your injury. Then you should take treatment accordingly. Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Wish you a very good health.

HiMy mother age 51 is suffering from heavy breathlessness, cough and fewer, we have consulted GP, after taking medicine, she doesnot have fewer but breathlessness is there, once she stops taking medicine againg she get fewer, GP has also recommended DOXYCYCLINE AND LACTIC ACIDE BACILLIUS CAPSULES, DOSY-1 LDR FORTE. above are symptoms, please advise what she is suffering from
|
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Breathlessness in patient aged 51 years can be due to heart (heart failure) and lung (bronchitis or pneumonia) related diseases. So better to consult internal medicine doctor and get done ECG, 2d echo, stress test, chest x-ray and PFT (Pulmonary Function Test). ECG, 2d echo and stress test are needed for heart diseases. Chest x-ray and PFT are needed for lung diseases. Treatment is different and depends on cause. So first diagnose and then start appropriate treatment. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your mother. Thanks.

I ve been advised to take duphaston twice a day for 5days. And also siphane from day 2 of my periods. I was asked to do a follicular scan from 10th day after my L.M.P. The reports did not show any progress in the first scan. I need to know whether I m on the right track to conceive? What will the next step be? I hope it has further solutions that can help me conceive. Really worried...
|
Hi I think you can take Sphere for 5 days and monitor your follicles' growth by repeated ultrasound and when follicle is more than 17 to 18 mm, take injection for rupture of follicles. Be in contact with your husband for next 2 days. Take progesterone for next 2 weeks after rupture is confirmed on ultrasound. Do a urine pregnancy test after that. If follicles are not forming, you can take a higher dose of Sphere with injections of BMG. Talk to your doctor regarding this.

Just had a 5 day embryo transfer today approx 10 hours ago.... Was told to lay flat on my back, not on sides for at least 2 days even while sleeping.... I m having a tough time keeping this up.... Was told it helps prevent ectopic pregnancy. How do I get through these days?
|
Hi there, I have understood your concern. I will suggest you the best possible treatment options. 1) First do not panic. 2) As such implantation will take place in 48 to 72 hours of embryo transfer, and embryo will get embedded in the endometrium. After that there is no chance of getting ectopic pregnancy. So please do not worry. You can simply take analgesic like paracetamol from your treating doctors prescription. I hope this answer helps you. Thanks.

Hi welcome to Chat Doctor The above treatment taken for the cirrhosis of liver is right... you need to improve in giving protein rich diet, the ASCIIs and swelling of the leg is due to protein imbalance in the body due to failure in the Liver function... the above treatment will only prevent the further damage to the liver... alcohol consumption must be completely stopped... other Heat toxic Chat Doctor. .

I discovered yesterday a lump at the base of my skull on the right side. The lump is like one would get if I walked into a door or got hit in the head. It is painful in that spot and to the touch with sore muscle pain in shoulder and neck. I am a diabetic, but I think this i a lymph node swelling. What can I do to get rid of this lump and stop the pain
|
HI, Dear,Thanks for the inquisitive query to Chat Doctor.1-I studied your query in depth.2-In my opinion, this painful lump at your skull base is most probably -a lymphadenitis with infective pathology like boil in the scalp-as you are a known diabetic, which appears to be out of control.3-I would advise you to consult physician who would check the CBC, FBS, pps, and would treat it with antibiotics and NSAIDs,3-a- if no relief, and the pain and swelling in the skull base increases, then surgeon would be needed to Chat Doctor. 4-Hope this would solve your query .5-Wellcome for more queries to me On Chat Doctor.6-Thnks once again for your inquisitive query. Have a Good Day.!!

Hello, I am really worried about your lipid profile and you don't need medication for the same at present. Some exercise will help to bring your HDL (good cholesterol) a little higher, get your hemoglobin, thyroid profile, it d and vital b12 (if vegan), and mail me reports or see your GP with the same.

Hi what could be causing a pain in the lower right had side of the stomach area, this happens every morning and is there after gently exercise eg taking the dog a walk. The pain can be describe like a very bad stich type pain. It is releaved with strong pain killers. Nothing showed up in a recent colonosopy. Could it be something to do with the Gaul Bladder . The pain always seems to come after a nights sleep.
|
Hi, I have heard of lower abdominal pain following strenuous physical exercise, but on mild exercise such as walk is something new. Anyway, the pain could be related to muscle sprain or a hernia (if the pain is located at the same spot). Since a colonoscopy was normal, it is unlikely to be related to an intestinal condition. Gall bladder pain does not present as pain over the right lower abdomen. You can consider an ultrasound abdomen localized to the area of pain. A competent surgeon should be able to guide you through the test. Hope this answers your query. Regards

Hi I have question yesterday I felt like a lil pain on my upper back its sharpy and I felt so much pressure after a while I started feeling lil bit of fever n itchy so I notice a red/ pink bump and it started hurting more I could feel it and still feel it if I lain back could it be an absess or what Im scare of this

Hi, As this development occurred for one day all of a sudden indicates that it might be due to something insect bite causing allergic reaction to surrounding tissue producing this pain and itchiness. Another possibility of having some ingrown hair follicle producing boil or forming abscess. Wait for a day or two, if problem increases then go for one antibiotic medicine course for 3-5 days. Take some antihistamine as well. Ok and take care.

Hello thanks for the query posted would be pleased to answer your query. I would suggest that to get treatment you will need to book an appointment with the physician Dermatologist. Viral fever with rash, sore throat would be better off treated with Oral vitamin C 1000\u00a0mg per day, Oral Antibiotic like Azithromycin 500 m twice a day for 3 days and topical applications of Calamine lotion. Please do book an appointment with the Dermatologist to discuss the same. Thanks and Take care

My symptoms include...three episodes of extreme lower back pain, left side; onset late in afternoon but each time subsided by next day. Nausea, frequent urge to urinate, but no fever. The three pain episodes have been within the last 7 days. Kidney stones? UTI? Am waiting for my doc to return call. Any thoughts on this come and go situation? The episodes leave me pretty wiped out the following day.

Hi Doctor, My father was implanted with Pacemaker in Feb 2005.. but now sinec last two days, he is feeling a bit uneasy while walking.. or climbing up the stairs... I consulted a cardiologist and he told that, since he is implanted Pacemaker, ECG reading may not help.. Hence he suggested to go for coronary angio..Please suggest waht should I do...
|
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Yes, his cardiologist is right. He needs coronary angiography to know the cause for you his symptoms. His heart functions might have decreased which is causing this uneasiness on walking and climbing stairs. He might have coronary artery blockage. So to diagnose all these, coronary angiography is must. It is not only diagnostic but therapeutic also. This means that if he is having blockage in coronary then during angiography we can fix it. So better to get done coronary angiography. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your father. Thanks.

Our son is a male age 27 currently running a temp of 103.5 and has a pulse rate of 132. He says his pulse has been constant at that number for a couple hours. He has had cold symptoms for a few days. also thinks he may have had a tick bite 14 days ago.
|
Hello. Thank you for your question and welcome to Chat Doctor. I understand your concern. It is good news that this is a regular heartbeat and a sinus tachycardia. High body temperatures, and fever in general, is a state where the organism goes through a lot of changes. Temperature acts on its center in hypothalamus (a specific region in the brain) and provokes a series of changes, one of which is sinus tachycardia. When the fever is cured and body state comes to normal, so does the high heart rate. However, if your suspicion is that he was bitten by a tick, I recommend you to consult an infectious diseases specialist, to carefully determine what microorganism is causative of this situation. I hope I was helpful. Take care. Good day,

I have been clean from alcohol, crack, and heroin for three months. I have been to my doctor and my white blood count was a little low. My kidneys and liver seemed to be healthy; however my diabetes is not being controlled with blood sugar levels over 200 mg/dl.

My physical symptoms are extreme stress, muscle tension chest and back of neck, legs ache, lung congestion, fatigue, ringing in ears, and a tingling sensation in my right hand. My physical health is been affecting my mental health severely! The ringing in my ears is driving me crazy. My mental health symptoms are extreme frustration, irritable, depression.

I am taking Seroquel, Remeron and Pristiq for my bi-polar, Synthroid for my hypothyroid, Metformin for my diabetes and a multivitamin for my general health. health queries right now ? Please type your query here...

For bipolar mood disorder divalproex sodium or lithium are the Chat Doctor. For Diabetes 2, metformin with glipizide is recommended.

hello. I am a 33 yr old male with chronic neck/jaw pain. i weigh 155 lb and am 58. The Pain has been present going on 4 yrs now and seems to be getting worse..ie ear pressure and constant popping. All this only on Rt side. I have seen dentists, tmj specialist(i wear a mouthgaurd every night), 3 ENTs, and physical therapy and am now seeing a neurologist. I have had 2 CT scans and multiple scopes of neck. All have come back with no result/or answer to explain this pain. My neurologist just had a stellate nerve block performed with little result(did feel a little relief), last week and thinks that i should have another one performed ASAP. stating that the effect is greater the more you have(limit 4)? I guess my question is that i am unable to get over the fear that they are missing something in the CT? is this a possibility? Should i inquire about having an MRI? is there any difference?FYI..I also smoke marijuana before bed--lightly
|
Hello, You have been very thorough and utilized specialist which would be my first recommendation. I would continue with the treatment recommended by the neurologist that offered relief and hope for benefit with the cumulative effect with multiple treatments. The MRI is utilized in evaluating soft tissue and is a very valuable diagnostic test. Contrast medium can show details on vascular components which may assist your diagnosis. You may have an autoimmune component or have a multiple condition syn Chat Doctor. I suggest checking on your family history and look for any genetic disorders that could help with diagnosing. You may consider anti-inflammatory medications and muscle relaxers for temporary relief. Ask your doctor for suitable prescriptions. Thank you for your inquiry. I hope my suggestions offer relief and further guidance. I am available to answer additional questions.

I fell down three steps to the garage on Feb 20th,and fell on my face, hitting the left side of my forehead, just above my left eye, on the hard cement floor. I was not able to save my face with my hands as I was carrying a basket .I went to a hospital emergency dept., and was given a C.T. scan. There was no bleeding or other problems internally. The lump was as large as a ducks egg...and now it is about the size of a pigeon s egg. there are still black marks under my left eye , as the veins continue to clear out the blood. How can I help this process to speed up ?
|
Hi ! Good morning. I am Chat Doctor answering your query. With your history this seems to be a resolving hematoma in the subcutaneous tissues of the area. As the hematoma was large enough initially, it might take more time for the blood to get absorbed gradually. You can apply a pressure bandage over it if need be. However, it would take its own time unless it has got organized. In that case it might have to be evacuated by a small incision under local anesthesia. You have to take the opinion of a general surgeon in that case. I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in planning your treatment. Thanks for using the Chat Doctor forum for your query on health. Wishing you an early recovery. Chat Doctor.

Hi, I am having problems with a upper tooth that I had removed 4 weeks ago. It all started when my tooth was damaged through a basic root canal treatment. I was referred to a specialist and 9 months later I was told it would have to be extracted, meanwhile I had faced a number of infections and 2 courses of antibiotics. At the time of the extraction the root was infected. After the extraction, dissolvable stitches were put in place as I was flying overseas and the sinus was exposed. Now, 4 weeks later, my dossolvable stitches are still in place and seem to be surrounded by a white gooey substance. When I touch with a Q tip the white substance moves about, attached to the stitches and is adding to some slight irritation of that area. Is this normal? Thanks!
|
Hellooo...read through your query....I must say that as far as u don't have any pain or problem with that area its healing normally....if any pain is there then u should suspect something abnormal...the stitch will resort in few weeks along with the socket.so don't worry .yellowish thing will be the clot and other cells working for healing....and I must say that don't touch that area with anything(brush, finger,pin, toothpick etc.).your hampering the healing process...don't bite that with that area... Chat Doctor. .don't spit hard...it can dislodge clot and hamper healing...do salt water gargle as many times as possible.....follow all this and be happy...stress-free and cool that can heal anything...hope your benefitted something with this reply.have a healthy day!!!

|
Welcome to Chat Doctor I have gone through your query and understand your concern. You are likely to be having viral infection. Paracetamol is useful in symptomatic relief of fever. Antibiotics are useful in preventing secondary infection. It will be useful to visit a physician for treatment. You can discuss with your doctor about it. Hope your query get answered.

Hi, I am jyoti.i had an ectopic pregnancy in 2013.my right tube has removed that time.my left tube was blocked and I had laparoscopy on 31 sep 2013. Now my left tube is opened. Doctor has diagnosis that I have tb pcr in endometrium . So my queries are 1) can my tube blocked again.2) can I conceive naturally , what is the chances of tubal pregnancy.3) can tb pcr treatment will damage tube.4) we can start planning for pregnancy after tb treatment.
|
Hi, PCR test is a very sensitive test, so false +ve reports may occur. That is why diagnosis of tuberculosis of reproductive system a clinical examination, laboratory testing of blood, histopathology of endometrium, examination of uterine cavity with Histerosalpingogram are considered along with PCR test. Endometrial tuberculosis is a notorious condition as far as conception is concerned. Of course, in these days of modern medicine any type of problem is treatable. The only thing needed is the earliest diagnosis & prompt complete treatment under an experts' guidance for specified period (minimum for 6 months) along with nutritive diet, vitamin/iron supplements for maintaining good general condition. You will need a combined care of a TB specialist & a Gynecologist. Now your queries- 1) Chances of adhesions and & tubal blockage can be prevented by regular & sufficient medication. 2) In uncomplicated & cured TB endometriosis, natural conception is possible. Due to adhesions, possibility of tubal pregnancy is raised in Genital TB. To avoid tubal pregnancy, one can be careful & get all the investigations including Mystery salpingography done before planning for pregnancy 3)In fact, TB treatment, taken properly, for sufficient period prevents any damage in reproductive organs. 4) Yes, after a complete & successful treatment of TB, & its reassessment you can plan for pregnancy. Thank you.

I. Have a small hole below my front bottom tooth. It doesnt hurt at all..dentist wants to cut a piece of gum and sow it. Over the tiny hole.he said my teeth are very healthy and hes not sure why this happened! Should I get this procedure done or what to see if it closes by itself ? He took X-ray and tooth is heathy
|
Hello, As you are mentioning that dentist has taken an x-ray, and it is normal this means that the tooth and bone is healthy. This problem can be gums problem. Actually sometimes it happens that when there are two lower labial French (attachment of gums with lower mucosa). They are closely placed and space between them look like hole, it is not painful. In this case do not take tension, just wait for some time and observe if there is no pus discharge then it is normal, and there is no need to go for any treatment. Thank you

Hi. My boyfriend has always had this small mole-like spot on the left side of his penis, however, over the last month, I have noticed it has been getting bigger. He said its not painful to touch or doesnt physically hurt when we have sex. However, over the last month, his sex drive is low, hes always tired, hes been getting this rash in the groin area that sometimes smells fishy, and the past couple of times weve had sex, hes complained that it hurt to orgasm. Not a burning hurt but like a super hypersensitive hurt. What could be going on?
|
Hi. All the problems looks unrelated to each other.First- the black mole can be a mole only. Simple excision under local anesthesia and subject it for the Histo-patho report, this will cure the problems as it is excised and one gets the diagnosis too. Second - Low sex Chat Doctor. Thirdly - the rash and fishy smell in groin can be due to Tina/ fungal infection and needs treatment with antifungal ointments.Lastly-hurt orgasm can be due to prostatitis or urethritis, urinary tract infection for which he / both have to take antibiotics.

was on nur-strute for 2 years its has stopped my periods all together now want to concieve but still no periods used primolut for 10 day its now 3 days no menstruation also have ovarian cyst
|
Hi ;welcome to Chat Doctor Since you have taken primal for 10 days wait for 4-5 more days and hopefully you will get with Chat Doctor. But if you don't get menses in this week the pleasing consult a GAEC as you have ovarian cyst which itself is a cause of not having periods. You will require treatment for ovarian cyst & regularization of menses. Once the treatment is done ;the cycles are regular then you will conceive. Thanks

i was taking Ginet 84 contraceptive pill and was taking the yellow pillls to stop my period but they didnt work, i started getting bleeding, headaches, diahorrea and bleeding so i stoped taking it but the bleeding hasnt stoped and its been 12 days now. im 21 and only normally get my period for 5days with no pain but i have been having bad stomach pain
|
Hi, If you have used the pill for the first time only to stop the period, it is likely that the dosage may not be adequate to stop the bleeding and in addition, the progesterone-like effects of the Chat Doctor. This is perhaps the reason why you have also been experiencing diarrhea and headaches. Please see your consultant for proper appraisal of the situation as you may need other medications to arrest this bleeding and also a sonogram to assess the status of the pelvic organs. You would need hormone supplements to stop the bleeding completely in addition to styptics. Hope this helps.

i am having loss of memory , head aches on the top right side of my head, reacuring dreams of seizures, lost time and feel weak, deep depression and a feeling of no happyness left in my life and i keep smelling rotten eggs when there isnt any i am a little freaked on this and have no anwser, i have multipule personalities so this could be why lose of time and memory, the head aches have been going on for months now there trying to get a MRI apporoved for me but the dreams i am having seizures just started about 9 days ago
|
Hello, welcome to Chat Doctor. Your above-mentioned symptoms indicate presence of depression in your case. Having smell of rotten eggs may be due to olfactory hallucination. In presence of olfactory hallucination, it is better to rule out pathology in brain by MRI, which is already planned in your case. Depression can cause somatic symptoms like headache and nightmares like having seizure. It is better to start treatment for depression under psychiatrist supervision. Wish you all the best.

Ive been having pain in my gums behind my bottom teeth for about three days now. it feels like sensitivity but drinking hot or cold does not affect it. it hurts constantly. Advil doesnt get rid of the pain and my dentist isnt open because of the holiday. What is happening?
|
Hello, Welcome Thanks for consulting Chat Doctor, I have gone through your query, as you have gum pain and sensitivity this can be due to periodontal problem or carious tooth. You do is do warm saline gargle two - three times a day Application on gums ointment Gum paint twice daily for one week. Ointment Sensible application on sensitivity areas of tooth. Consult dentist and go for Scaling and Curettage and if carious then go for restoration if needed go for Root canal treatment. Hope this will help you.

My daughter s had a fever since Friday. It comes and goes however on Monday it would not let down. We finally took her to the hospital and they told us she has the Flu. They perscribed Tamiflu however advised that it may not work because it had to be administered 48hrs after the first symptoms.It is now Wednesday and she continues to have high fevers of 100 in addition to stomach pains, coughing, sneezing, runny nose and eyes, and purpulish lips? Is this the common flu? Should i take her to the hospital again?
|
I have gone through your question and understand your concern. It would have been easier for me if you have mentioned age of child and all the advised treatment.However, the symptoms described are compatible with diagnosis of Flu. Usually the symptoms' severity last for first week while fatigue can last longer. Yes, best results of Tami flu are achieved if given within 48 hours of onset of disease. Complications are common in very young child Chat Doctor. But it should be continued as prescribed by your physician. I would advise starting Paracetamol as it diminishes the severity of symptoms. But the mainstay of treatment is rest, plenty of fluids and avoid contact with other people if possible. If the symptoms worsen, or are prolonged than a week than its necessary to visit the hospital again. You child give yearly flu vaccine to your child to prevent this problem again. May your child be blessed with health.

My daughter just visited her PCP and he said she has a ganglion neuroma and they are referring her to a hand surgeon. Will they do an X-ray to get an image of it, or will they use CT or MRI? Also, what s the difference between a ganglion neuroma and a ganglion cyst?
|
Hello, As she is diagnosed with ganglion neuroma, and you want to know will she have to undergo x-ray or CT? Well, I think she might be advised for x-ray followed by MRI. Also, there is a difference in the ganglion neuroma and ganglion cyst as well. Ganglion cyst can occur in tendons of the joints and the ganglion neuroma occurs in the peripheral nerves. Based on the diagnosis made that whether it is nerve or tendon the treatment will be guided. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Jay In Chat Doctor.

I have two enlarged lymph nodes on my neck. I have tried antibiotics for 3 weeks with no results. I went to an ENT doctor and got blood work whicChatDoctore back normal and showed no signs of infection, virus or bacteria. I also got a CT scan that showed multiple enlarged lymph nodes in my neck. I have a biopsy scheduled for two weeks from now. I have had a fever for 7 days ranging from 99-102 and gets worse at night and comes and goes with no warning. I have also felt very weak and tired lately. I am 20 years old and am in great health. I would like someone to be honest and give me an honest opinion of what they think it could be.
|
HelloAccording to you there are two enlarged lymph nodes on the side of neck for 3 weeks, blood work, no bacteria, virus, infection. Not responding to antibiotics. C T scan reveals that there are multiple enlarged lymph nodes present. Biopsy is due. Possibilities may be, BECAUSE, for last 7 days, you are also having fever (low grade) .1 Tuberculosis, as this is most common case of enlargement of lymph nodes, particularly in the side of neck. 2 Dental infection, if it is on the one side then sometimes may be due to dental caries on that side. Diagnosis can be confirmed by physical examination by a dental doctor .3 AUTO IMMUNE lymphoproliferative syn Chat Doctor. However, there are so many possibilities, which may develop enlargement of lymph nodes but since biopsy is due within short period, so get in it and find out the exact reason of enlargement of lymph nodes. Hodgkins disease, Non-Hodgkins lymphomas, viral, fungal infection acidosis. Enlargement of lymph nodes may be due to simple infection, even, or it may be due to serious disease, so please wait for biopsy. Good luck.

Hello, the last few days my stomach fat to the left of my tummy button has been hurting, almost like a bruise when I press on it or rub my hand across it. Is there a simple explanation for this and if not should I get it checked out as there is history of polips and cancer in my family..

I am 36 next month and had an ectopic in feb of this year ( surgery , but tube saved). I also miscarried at 5 weeks ( just a couple of days ago). I have a ten year old daughter from previous relationship. Is my body trying to tell me that I m too old for another pregnancy. Should I try ivf ?
|
Hello dear, I understand your concern. In my opinion the problem in your case is maintained of pregnancy but not formation of embryo. Usually IVF is suggested to those who are not able to conceive naturally. But in your case the pregnancy occurred naturally both of the times, but first one got terminated due to ectopic and 2nd one due to miscarriage. The cause for ectopic cannot be pinpointed, but the miscarriage might be due to genetic anomalies or hormonal insufficiency like thyroid abnormalities or progesterone insufficiency, diabetes etc. So I suggest you to rule out thyroid abnormalities, diabetes etc. Also give a gap of 3 months for next conception. And start taking folic acid tablet starting one month before planning the pregnancy. And as you are 36 years get screened for Down syn Chat Doctor. Nothing to worry. Untoward effects might not repeat in further pregnancy. Relax. Avoid stress. As stress also might hamper the normal hormonal balance in body leading to untoward effects. Hope this helps. Best regards...

Hi Madam, I got married in July 2011 and we have been trying for a kid since last 1.5 years. I did all the test prescribed by my doctor but we haven t got any positive response from any of the doctor. Following are the tests and the results which we have done so far
|
Hello, I'm glad to answer your question. Since TB-Gold is positive, you are likely to have active tubercular infection. Next step would be to get a HSG done to know exact site and extent of tubal blockage. Fallopian tube is the most common site of damage in genital tuberculosis. The Manitou (tuberculin) skin test is unreliable. It tests merely for the presence of immunity against TB. Resection and anastomosis surgeries are advised If there is asthma block, then hysteroscope directed procedure is done. Meanwhile, continue taking antitubercular Chat Doctor. Eat healthy, Exercise moderately, Take folic acid tablets.Don't stress yourself since treatment of tuberculosis in early stages definitely increases your chances of conception. Good luck. Hope I have succeeded in answering your questions. You could write to me anytime for further clarifications. Regards,

My child is 7 year old (boy) and he gets this athma cough once in every month.I am using seroflow/forecart for almost 1 year .How long will he have to use that ? Can he play regular games,swim or climb ?Is there any other ways to avoid these attacks ? WWW.WWWW.WW
|
HI, Thank for asking to ChatDoctorI really appreciate your concern if this is allergic asthma then you have to take care for underlying allergic factors, you have to keep the child from this, and in my opinion you have to consult the good pediatrician form there you would get the complete information, and if this is not the allergic asthma then the underlying cause of this need to be ruled out, as long as the allergic problem is concern this will go away with the time, hope this information helps you, have a good day.

I have probable ms and recently I have been having thoracic pain, I get light headed abd bloating and a lot of gas and sometimes get short of breath during these times. I do have reflux also and a hiatal hernia . I had echo about 2 years ago and only showed slight tricuspid regurgitation. I am on Zantac but lately I am thinking it is not working any ideas?
|
Hi I did review your concertgoer problem seems to be due to gastroesophageal reflux but just as a caution I would advise you to get ECG for ruling out any heart problem Santa does not work I would advise you to start Omeprazole OD 20 minutes before lunch or dinner, and I am sure the results would be encouraging. Also do not sleep immediately after eating food and use 2-3 pillows at night while going to sleep to keep your head high and prevent acid reflux

I have a lump on my shin, it s been there about three weeks. the gp has said its a lypoma , and will need to be removed surgically. Since seeing the GP it has grown slightly and is red and though it has been painless to date it is now tender to the touch. It s about the size of a cherry tomato. thanks

Hi, Dear thanks for the query to Chat Doctor virtual clinic. I studied your query in full details updated from you. I understood your health concerns. Based on your query data, In my opinion, Dear Your baby seem to suffer from -Non-Lipmatous lump on your shin, as its tender lately with redness over last 3 weeks. In My opinion, you need to rule out the Varicose Veins of shin. Color Doppler with dual image USG would fix the cause and would fix line of further treatment. Other possibility of Sebaceous Cyst needs to be ruled out. Surgeon would be needed to fix this health issue with you. Hope this reply would help you to evaluate your case and treat it with your doctors in time to come. Hope this would resolve your query and worry and Anxiety accompanied by it.

I just had an ultrasound done on my kidney because my primary doctor thinks I may have a kidney stone. I had a dull ache on right side from the front under my ribs to the back for the past 2 weeks. One night I ached even when I tried to roll over in bed, it kept me up all night. I looked at the ultrasound machine while she was completing it and I saw a round white circle the size of a small marble. My daughter who is studying to become an ultrasound tech said it could be a stone or even maybe cancer because cancer shows up white on an ultrasound. I thought, oh wonderful. I pray it is only a stone. Actually the pain has subsided somewhat and is not as intense. Where I work one of the nurses aids said to drink warm beer, so I did. Do you think if it is a stone that warm beer will help?
|
Hi, welcome to ChatDoctorLooking to your history, i, as a nephrologist, understand your concern. Stones which are obstructed in urine passage, first, require its complete removal to relieve obstruction. CT scan will help us to rule this possibility. Do basic urine report and S.creatinine. Then, it requires evaluation of cause of kidney stone and type of stone. Adequate water intake with salt restriction, decrease intake of nonveg protein and normal calcium intake are the general measures to prevent kidney stones. Magnesium, citrate and It B6 can prevent stone formation. Beer will not help much. Take adequate water and citrate supplements as advised. I think this would be helpful to you. Best wishes. TC. Chat Doctor.

Hi, My daughter is 19 months old and weighs approx 10.3 Kgs. She is a very picky eater. From last 3-4 days she is eating very little but having milk. But today she is not atall eating anythng. Not even milk. She also has constipation from few days. Also she vomits on most days at night. Am worried coz she has hardly had anythng today & she s too cranky. Pls advise.

Hi... Thank you for consulting in Chat Doctor. I take this opportunity to tell you certain scientific facts and relieve your distress - 1. An active is a well kid even if she/ he is not eating well. 2. Development of a kid is as important as, or I would say even more important than growth alone.3. As the kids grow their interest in food decreases and interest in play activities increases so that they eat small quantity and run away to play. As parents, we need to be more patient and feed than less quantity but more liquors per day.4. This age rather than the quantity of the food I suggest you concentrate more on the number of times you feed her and also make whatever you feed her calorie dense by adding good amount of ghee to it.5. I suggest you not to use appetite stimulants on long run as they may cause Chat Doctor. Regards -

I am a 20 year old female with bronchitis. A 9mm lung nodule was found on my xray. I have smoked very FEW times. In the past 3 weeks I have lost my voice multiple times, and have a had a pretty bad cough. Other symptoms that could possibly be related are
|
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Bronchitis is inflammation of airways. It can also cause infection and inflammation in lung parenchymal. You are also too young (20 years) for lung cancer. So possibility of inflammatory nodule is more likely in your case. So no need to worry much. Start treatment for bronchitis. Once your bronchitis is cured, this nodule will mostly disappear. Get done repeat CT thorax once bronchitis is cured. If nodule is decreasing then no need to worry. But if nodule is increasing in size then you will need biopsy to confirm the diagnosis. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.

Hi there, We have been trying for a baby for the last year and last month I used ovulation urine test sticks and we had sex both days before ovulation was said to be about to take place. I have come on this morning. I am trying to think of all the things that may hinder our success. My husband has a bad back and takes co-codomol and diclifenac for his pains every day, could this effect his sperm count? He also smoked cigars.
|
Hi greetings I presume his semen analysis was done and its normal. The idea of timed intercourse may not be successfully all the time. I suggest you to have regular sex from 10t TH day of your menses for another 10 days. Ovulation tests need not coincide always. If that is not successful you will need day 2 hormone analysis and an ultrasound scan to study your follicles in ovary. Kindly do a check-up with an infertility specialist. Regards

Hey,First don't worry. You are going to be absolutely fine. If your BP is persistently higher than you will need a medicine for BP. Also, u need to decrease the salt intake and QUIT SMOKING. Try taking painkillers for the joint initially, but you have to get an x-ray of knee done to see the joint space. You also need to get a stress echo done to rule out any associated coronary disease. You will be perfectly fine, but you need a will power and proper tests. Good luck Chat Doctor.

Before, i was hit in the chest and i had pain for awhile badly and it recently started feeling better then i was pushed over off a sofa falling onto my side and my chest is hurting badly when i lay down and try to get up for deep breaths or any kind of stretching. Should i see a doctor or will it just pass?
|
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Yes, you should definitely consult doctor and get done chest x-ray. You were having chest pain before chest trauma (falling over sofa) and worsening paint after fall. So we should rule out lung related causes for your chest pain first. So get done chest x-ray. If chest x-ray is normal then no need to worry about lung diseases. Your chest pain is mostly due to musculoskeletal pain. So follow these steps for better symptomatic relief in musculoskeletal pain. 1. Avoid heavyweight lifting and strenuous exercise. 2. Avoid bad postures in sleep. Avoid movements causing pain. 3. Apply warm water pad on affected areas. 4. Take painkiller like ibuprofen. Don't worry, you will be alright with all these in 1-2 weeks. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.

Why is the medical disorder of epilepsy frequently misdiagnosed as a psuedoseizure requiring the care of a psychiatrist, as well as psychotropic drugs? Do they not realize that by blocking the seratonin and dopamine receptors, which are natural anticonvulsants, and increasing an amino acid which will induce seizure activity-and that is precisely what psychotropic drugs do, the potential harm that they may be causing the patient?
|
Hello! Welcome on Chat Doctor! Regarding your concern, I would explain that often there is comorbidity between epilepsy and pseudoseizures, because epilepsy patients tend to have psychiatric troubles (like depression or anxiety too). From the other hand the presence of abnormal EEG activity may be both in pseudoseizures and seizures. And sometimes epilepsy patients have a normal EEG. That is why the seizure description and even video registration of the patients during the seizures is necessary to distinguish between seizures and pseudoseizures. Anyway, it is true that antidepressants and anti-psychotics lower the seizures' threshold, but when psychiatric problems are present in epileptic patients, they are given concomitantly with anti-epilepsy Chat Doctor. Hope you will find this answer helpful! Kind regards,

I have a long standing problem in my mid to upper back, aggravated by lifting heavy weights (bench press), or doing things like serving in tennis or throwing a ball without properly warming up. I ve had it for 30 years. Is this just likely a muscle that I injured and that I keep aggravating?
|
Hi there. The pain you experience in your mid upper back could be due to mainly a faulty technique while using bench press or that you're not giving your back muscles adequate time to rest and recover. This can have possible long term implication on your spine by causing degenerative changes earlier. I suggest that you take enough breaks between each rep and if you're planning to increase the weights do so gradually, so your muscles get time to adapt to it. Throwing motion without properly warming up can also harm your back muscles as well.

Sir, I am 41 years old. Recently during my regular medical check up serum creatinine level found to be 1.6 I do not have BP problem and diabetic. I chew tobacco. Please tell me whether creatinine level can be controlled ? Is there any relation chewing tobacco and kidney functions
|
HIT hank for asking to ChatDoctorI really appreciate your concern the serum creatinine level that you have shown here of course increased, the underlying cause of this is important and that should be treated here you have to get done the test of Renal functions test, with ultrasonography test, here the renal pathology will be detected that might be responsible for increased creatinine value, chewing tobacco might be the reason and that need to be stopped, hope this information helps you, have nice day.

hello doctor i am 26 weeks pregnant and have severe itching..got a gct done reports are normal,routine urine is also normal..got a liver profile test done and the sgot and sgpt and alp are highly elevated ..the biliruben count is normal.sgot is 194 and sgpt 179..have no nausea or vomitting what can be the problem pleae help
|
Hi, Itching in third trimester of pregnancy without any rash or fever points towards, Obstetric homeostasis. You should get your bile salts checked, which can be elevated in obstetric homeostasis. Also, viral markers to rule out infective hepatitis needs to be done. Obstetric homeostasis is unique to pregnancy and subsides after delivery. You will need monitoring of liver enzymes weekly during pregnancy. Rarely, it can affect fetus as well, some doctors consider delivery at 37 weeks to decrease fetal morbidity. Hope this helps. Regards.

Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You may have some urinary tract infection. It's common in presence of kidney stone. You should go for urine routine and microscopic test and if you have urinary tract infection then you should take antibiotic treatment accordingly. Levofloxacin or norfloxacin are commonly used Chat Doctor. It is prescription based medicine so consult your doctor and take treatment accordingly. Your kidney stone is very small so

Hi, I ve been experiencing discomfort in my upper abdomen especially when I take a deeper breath. I already suffer from gall bladder problems but this feels slightly lower. The pain/discomfort is also radiating around my sides and slightly in my back, although not as sharp as the usual gallbladder pain. It s almost a bruised feeling upon taking a deeper breath.
|
Dear friend, welcome to Chat Doctor! With a gall bladder problem, such constant pain on deep breathing could be due to a gall bladder pathology or others like early pancreatitis. Especially if it is increasing with deep breathing, dull aching, constant pain, also going to the back, we should look at the pancreas. You will need a good physical exam and labs (like serum lipase, Lots) and USG to elucidate the cause. Is there any nausea, fever, fast heart rate? Please be guided by your doctor if there are positive clues. Take care, and please keep me informed of your progress. Good Luck! I hope to have answered your query satisfactorily. Thank you!

Hi I m 33 male and been sick past week with bronchitis and head infection and my doctor put me on infection pills and a steroids to get me back up, tried it today, took steroid 3 pills like said at 9
|
Thanks for asking your query completely understand your situation you are suffering from lower respiratory tract infection that can be viral or bacterial.in bacterial infections you will be having a yellow mucoid expectoration, can be foul smelling.in this scenario antibiotics would help. As to me, it seems like a viral situation and u should continue this infection /antibiotic pills and u can use an antipyretic if u have fever. If u smoke then most important thing will be to quit smoking that will help u a lot.consulting a pulmonologist in your area would be better any more queries feel free to ask may god bless u with good health

I am a 77 year old woman, very active, jogged for 40 years, exercize now at the Y cardio and weighs, six days a week, 2 hours a day. I had a recent bone density test and the doctor felt that I should take fosamax because I am at risk for breaking my bones since I have osteopenia. I am worried about the side effects and wonder if upping my calcium intake through my diet?
|
Hi, There is no use of taking only calcium for osteopenia. Usually nothing to be done for osteopenia because at your age this much is expected. Well you asked for side effects of Osama. Most common side effect is esophagitis. To prevent this you need not lie down for half an hour after taking medicine. Rest of the side effects are very rare, so need not worry. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Hi! Good evening. I am Chat Doctor answering your query. Although it needs a physical examination of the lesion to arrive at a diagnosis, from the history it seems to me to be an infected lesion forming an abscess either de Nova, or by a super added infection in a pre-existing benign cyst or lump like a colonial abscess or an infected sebaceous cyst or Desmond. If I were your doctor, I would examine if it was a frank abscess both clinically and also by a FNAC. In this case, I would evacuate the abscess by incision and Chat Doctor. Once it was healed, I would go for an elective surgery of removing the lesion by an excision biopsy and sending the same for histopathological diagnosis. Till then, you could go for an anti-inflammatory

Hi... Thank you for consulting in Chat Doctor. By what you quote I put forth these possibilities -1. Congenital airway anomaly - this causes noisy breathing (both inspiratory and expiratory noise, actually inspiratory will be more than expiratory noise). But the child will not struggle to breath and there will not be fast breathing and in- Chat Doctor. The sound will be more heard during sleeping and feeding.2. Wheezing - Here the sound will be predominantly expiratory; the kid will be struggling to breathe, might turn blue and require oxygen and may have chest wall in-

Hi, I am 30 years old and weighing 64kg. I have been experiencing aches that starts from the base of my skull and it gradually cover the other parts of my head. It s been on for up to 3years. I ve visited the doctor here and was told it s called Basal Headache .

Hello, Occipital neuralgia should be considered as a possible condition that may cause your symptoms. It is linked mainly to irritation of the upper cervical nerves that supply the back and top of the head. In such cases, peripheral injections of anesthetics and corticosteroids is a treatment way that results in significant improvement. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Chat Doctor.

I am a 46 year old woman, 5 foot 4 inches tall and weigh 112 pounds. My weight has always been the same since highschool (except for during pregnancy). I have struggled numerous times with low Ferritin. The latest test has come back with a ferritin of 2 but for the first time the hemoglobin is very low as well. The hemoglobin is 77 but I understand that using the American system it would equate to 7.7 I take Palafer for Feritin twice a day but it doesnt seem to be doing anything at the moment. I received two units of blood last week during an emergency transfusion and really dont feel any different. I do have an appointment with Internal Medicine Specialists next week. Any thoughts or suggestions?
|
Hi, dear. I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern regarding your hemoglobin. Here you have very low ferritin so its obvious that you are suffering from iron deficiency anemia. You need to take injectable iron with iron rich food like legacy, green leafy vegetables, dates Chat Doctor. Moreover, you should search for the cause of low iron. You may have some external or internal bleeding. Search for the cause and take treatment accordingly. Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Wish you a very good health.

Hi, i have been struggling with lower abdonmon pain. Ultrasound scan was done and impression was cortical cyst 2*2 cm upper pole in right kidneyiam worried about this. i see something in internet relating to cancer. is this serious and does it has a treatment?
|
Hello saw your query on Chat Doctor...your ultrasound test report states the presence of cortical cyst in upper pole of right kidney which is less than 3 cm in size in diameter. Presence of cortical cysts are usually seen as an incidental finding in many patients and I do mention these findings on daily basis and should not be worried as such. However a point of caution should be given when there are signs of complexities within the cyst if any which we call as complex cyst. This point has not been mentioned by you whether it is a simple cyst or complex cyst. It should have been stated by your radiologist. If it read a simple cortical cyst then according to me there is no reason to worry. Simple cortical cysts usually do not cause any pain and hence do not explain your problem of lower Abdominal pain as such. Get yourself clinically evaluated by your local physician for diagnosing proper cause of the pain. Thank you and I hope your query is answered...if you have any more query you can contact us.

Hi I have just had pneumonia and I am now coughing up a jelly like substance not sputum, I have numerous health problems, behcets disease, heart disease, pulmonary hypertension, high BP, gall stones, 4 PEs, Clot to the brain, mild asthma and others Any reason for this?Thanks
|
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your situation and problem. Pneumonia is common in asthmatics because of poor lung defense. Pneumonia is actually infection of lung parenchymal (tissue). Most commonly caused by bacterial infection. Best treatment of pneumonia is identification of causative organism and then start effective antibiotic Chat Doctor. So get done sputum culture and sensitivity report. Culture report will isolate the causative organism and sensitivity report will guide about appropriate effective antibiotic treatment. By this we can fasten the recovery and prevent

Hello. I have been having a pain in my heart for about 2 weeks now, and i thought at first it could be growing pains. But i have had them before, and they didnt last this long or wasnt as painful, im getting really worried now, i dont know what it could be
|
Hello, If you are feeling pain in left side of chest or as you were saying pain in heart. It may have many causes like if the pain is related to heart then it might be due to *Coronary artery disease where any artery of heart get blocked.*Myocardial infarction(heart attack). Here sometimes other accompanied symptoms are present like sweating, nausea or shortness of breath etc. But presence of symptoms is not always necessary.* Myocarditis where inflammation of heart muscles occur.* Besides heart, any problem in lungs might also cause pain in left side of chest. Pleuritic(inflammation of lining of lungs), asthma, pneumonia, pneumothorax might be other causes.* Sometimes hyperacidity also causes pain in heart or heart burning, esophageal hypersensitivity or perforation might be other causes.* Sometimes common causes like muscle strain or rib problem due to excessive coughing or rib fracture due to injury might also cause pain in left side of chest.* These are the most common causes behind the chest pain on left side or heart pain as you said and these can be ruled out by doctor after clinical examination. So visit a nearby physician to know the exact cause. If you require any investigation you will also come to know about that too. As once diagnose is made it would be easier for you to get treatment.* I hope you are satisfied with my answer. Thank you.

On Saturday I woke up with a fever of 102 and an overall flu-like feeling. It lasted for 2 days and I was taking tylenol to bring my fever down. On Monday the fever was still there but it was accompanied by very swollen red gums and sore lymph nodes in my armpits. I started taking some leftover antibiotics that I had. I finally started getting some relief from the fever. Today I woke up with what i believe to be two large canker sores on my lower lip and a sore bottom jaw close to my chin. I dont think its related...but Im also a nursing mother and about 2 weeks ago I had sores appear on my nipples. My baby is 14 months old and I never had a problem before. But it could just be because shes teething.
|
Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Read your query. I can understand your predicament. The canker sores can be exaggerated by the fever. I would advise you to apply McCoppin/denote on the lesions two or three times daily till it heals.healing time will be around a week. Over the counter antibiotics are not to be taken. Please consult your GP for the fever and flu symptoms and then take the antibiotics. Avoid stress and have a nutritious diet. Multi-vitamin supplement can be taken. If still persistent, consult an oral surgeon. Use an antiseptic mouth wash for a while and avoid spicy food. Hope this was helpful. Thanks and regards.

Hello. My husband has gone to the doctor a number of times and they ve told him he needs to get a bone scan. They found something in his hand after he had a MRI. His should hurst all the time and his in constant pain. Bone cancer is on their minds. We have have found a hard lump on his elbow. It looks and feels like his bone is sticking out. What do you have in mind?
|
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. Bone cancer can cause following symptoms. 1. Constant bone pain.2. Swelling (hard, painful)3. Pathological fractures due to osteoporosis of involved bone.4. Typical x-ray findings of demineralization and fracture and mass. So your husbands all symptoms are suggestive of bone cancer. So we need to rule out this first. Bone scan is must before biopsy. So get done bone scan first and then biopsy to confirm the diagnosis.

Hey.. my daughter is 2 month old. 1 month earlier she was admitted into the hospital as she had blood and urine infection. She had albumin traces in the urine. After treatment everything was fine but now she passes urine only 3 - 4 times in a day. Again in urine test albumin traces are present. What does it mean? Is it related to kidneys? What should we do now? She cries a lot when passes the urine. Please suggest.
|
Hi...a 2-month-old baby crying while passing urine is normal, and it cannot be deemed as pain. I am telling this because the sensation of full bladder is perceived by adults as such, and we urinate and relieve ourselves. But, babies of this age do not realize that and the only means of expressing that abnormal sensation which they are perceiving is by crying.2nd issue is that, urine containing traces of albumin. Please be rest assured. This is normal. It is related to kidneys only, but it is a normal finding in urinalysis. 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.

hi, my 3 yr old son (wt. 19.9 kg) complained of abdominal pain today. When I ask him to show me where was hurting him he showed be his belly button. I proceeded to examined the area and shortly after I did her began to vomit. After he did this her said he was feeling better and he went out side to play. I gave him panadol for the pain and her also drank a lot of water. After about half an hour of play he began to complain again and he brought up the water her drank.I gave him a bath and I gave him a tea spoon of gravol. He immediately immediately went to sleep, however he vomited twice after (small amount of water). He do not have a fever nor diarrhea. What can I give him. I purchased pedialite and enterogermia but I did not give it to him because he is sleeping. Am sorry but I cant pay for your services, I exhausted my credit. Sorry
|
Hi ! Good morning. I am Chat Doctor answering your query. Please do not bother about the payment. Abdominal pain followed by vomiting in this age group could be due to any kind of food poisoning specially if he ate from outside. Other condition to be excluded most is an attack of appendicitis which could mimic the pain and symptoms of a gastroenteritis presuming that he does not have any kind of upper respiratory tract infection. If the problem persists, I would advise you to take him to your family physician or the nearest ER for a proper clinical examination and related investigations for further management. I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts. Thanks for choosing Chat Doctor to clear doubts on your health problems. I wish you an early recovery. Chat Doctor

My husband has a pacemaker & Aviv. For 2-3 weeks now he has been having very low blood pressure in the 80s to 90s. The Dr has recently put him on Mododrene. This was to increase his pressure. He started on Monday. Only once did it go to 145. Most around 105. What do you think?
|
Hi, your question is somewhat confusing, but I'll try to help you. We must find the cause of low blood pressure, and check if the pacemaker continues to function properly. The battery of modern pacemakers can last from 5 to 10 years, but older models have batteries that last less time. When the battery is low, you must replace the pacemaker generator. And this could be a cause of low blood pressure. If your husband has severe heart failure, it can also be a cause for low levels of blood pressure. In this situation, we must optimize the specific therapeutic to this problem. Moreover, in this situation, also the use of medications to raise the pressure can be deleterious to the patient. Therefore, before seeking a remedy to increase pressure levels of her husband, it is necessary to exhaust efforts to identify the causes of low pressure. So, we can provide the best therapy for him. Hope I have answered your question. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help you. Wish you good health.

Hi, During the passed week I have felt a lump on the inside of my top right leg, next to my groin area. The lump is quite sore if I press onto it but it can moved from side to side quite easily, and I would say it feels the same size as a malteaser! I am female, 20, I have no std s and I am rellitively healthy, but I have been dealing with minor stress this passed month. I done some research on the internet and people who have had a similar experience as me say they suffered with a Cyst. Do you think this is what it is?
|
Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You may have some enlarged lymph node, soft tissue tumor or cyst. Enlarged lymph node may be due to reactive hyperplasia, tuberculosis or lymphoma. You should go for biopsy of that lump. It will give you exact diagnosis. Then you should take treatment accordingly. Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Wish you a very good health.

Hello madam, well, this type of bleeding can be sort of symptom of a biochemical pregnancy loss. Many times these can be a natural, but we tend to forget them. These are on many occasions natures process of elimination of bad concepts, so nothing to worry. Alternatively these can be disturbance in your cycle as a result of hormonal imbalance . But since you have already had heavy flow, the chances of pregnancy now is remote. So you can continue the third cycle of closed. Good luck, bye

Hi. Thank you for posting your question. Pain after injury to the back could be a due to a few reasons. It could be a muscular pain due to injury to the muscle fibers or simply muscle pull. In this case there shouldn't be any devastating consequences and the pain should be relieved by hot fomentation and painkillers. Here your child should not have difficulty in walking and generally your child should be well. This seems most likely in your case. However, pain could also be due to bony injury to the spine or spinal nerves. In this case, the pain would be much more and would be debilitating enough to prevent your child from moving about normally. Here an E.R. visit is mandatory. Also since you mentioned that your child is able to follow his normal routine, climb a bicycle etc. and the pain starts only after some time, this most likely seems to be a muscular pain. Giving him painkillers with some local relief sprays and hot fomentation should suffice.

My right kidney is malrotated and I was going to a kidney specialist, had a stent put in. It didn t help so a week later my stent was removed. I ve also had plenty of c scans and mri s done, been hospitalized due to blood in my urine and pain. Lately I ve been feeling my kidney move and its been very painful. Is there any other options for me? Thank you.
|
Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor. As a Urologist, I must assure you, that a allocated kidney is only a variation, by birth, and not an abnormality or disease. It's well seen in a contrast CT-scan. But, unless, it gets obstructed, or some definite cause for treatment like a stone blocking it, arises, no intervention is needed. I fail to understand, why you had several CT scans, MRIs, DJ stenting, etc.You're welcome to send a copy of treatment with scan reports here, in my name, for an expert opinion.

hi dr i want to knw y i get stmc ache daily and crampss itss the whole day since 2 yearss i am not able to torate i had irregular cycle my dr pescribed me dronis 20 for my cycle to get regular but itss periods pain itss all day in the month i had on upper abdomen now itss on lower abdomen cant bear tthe pain when i have my food fell like nausea can i knw what would the problem
|
Hi ! From your history, the first diagnosis to exclude is a pelvic inflammatory disease, which may give rise to pain and cramps in the lower abdomen apart from low grade fever along with nausea and dislike for food. You have to get a routine urine test done and a culture sensitivity test if advised by your treating doctor who may also advise you for an ultrasound abdomen. The upper abdominal pain could be due this as well, or may be an independent entity. You may go for an antacid, a proton pump inhibitor and if not relieved may go for a review by your family physician. Wishing you an early recovery.

my name is frank chiedozie I am having this pain in my chest area, it a sharp pain, looks like someone is pinching me with a needle. its on and off. Secondly,i perceive the odour of blood from my gullet, I have gone for ECG but was diagnose of AV Block 1,but the pain have refused to go despite taking pain killers.
|
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. Since you are having first degree AV block, your pain can be due to cardiac cause. So get done 2d echo to rule out cardiac cause. If this is normal then get done vitamin B 12 level as needle pricking pain can be seen in B 12 deficiencies. If deficit then supplement should be started. If B 12 is normal then mostly you have anxiety related needle pricking pain. So avoid stress and anxiety.

Had a cut and bruised knee after a fall durign a game of cricket. Cleaned it wth dettol antiseptic and put betadine ointment on the same for a few days. Now the skin surrounding the cut has developed boils (like from burns) and the boils have watery fluid, whicChatDoctores out when they break. and this is leading to its spread in the skin.

U seem to have an allergic contact dermatitis become of either detail or Betadine.does it itch / burn...what else have u been applying? Did u experience such symptoms earlier with application of either Betadine or detail? It will be worthwhile if u cud send your pics on Chat Doctor. Com for a precise diagnosis. Till then t Allegra 180 mg once a day for itching and Unibet cream for local application twice a day would help

I have had parkinsons for 15years.for the past 3plus years I have had a discharge of be tween my upper teeth sometimes creamy white full of bubbles. It is totally disabily. One dr. Diagnosed Burning mouth syndrome . Most dr. ,dentist dont even know what it is. It has effected all my activities. I have spent thousand s of dollars and no relief. It starts with my teeth and makes it down to my right foot to spasm. Weird huh?yourturn thank you
|
Hi. Thanks for the query. The type pf discharge that you have explained in your query is pointing towards infection in the gums that might be leading to pus discharge. It is not the symptom of burning mouth, and it is possible if you have symptoms like burning, scalding and numb feeling in mouth,So my suggestion is to consult a Periodontist and get evaluated so that he can do a clinical examination and also advise you a full mouth Panoramic x-ray. Deep scaling, curettage and antibiotics to be taken orally and topical application along with antiseptic mouthwash gargles can help. Hope this helps. Regards.

Hi, Ok, the stomach is near the bottom of the rib cage. Irritation there will usually cause pain there. Ok, 1 in 3 people have problems in that region that does not show up on tests and is treatable with the latest stomach medicines (PPI, Omeprazole, etc.). And, it is pretty common to have an enlarged hole in the diaphragm and the stomach to pop into the chest a little (hiatal hernia) the Chat Doctor. Surgery works. But the hole usually eventually comes back. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

i have a cystic pimple just under my left eyebrow. it is common for me that when i get a pimple near my eye it causes the area to swell some. this pimple had been growing for a couple of weeks and was not coming to a head so i finally decided to try and drain the fluid out of it but when i woke up this morning it just seemed infected and my eyelid is so swollen i do not want to go into work today - it looks awful

Hi, Thanks for writing in. Acne is caused by hormonal imbalance. Blockage of sebaceous glands causes pa pules and pustule and cystic acne. Acne is treatable now. With correct treatment all your pimples, scars and dark spots can be treated. To start with you have to apply Brevity cream twice daily. Also, you can use anti acne face wash like Brevity face wash. For swelling, you can take tab ibuprofen.Also, you can apply newsprint ointment over the area. Discuss the option of Isotretinoin with your dermatologist. It will have rapid effect. Hope this helps. Regards. Chat Doctor. MD dermatology.
