hi i am a girl of 22years i hav been infected badly in my vagina after having sex with a guy, then onwards am having excruciating pain there inside n outside n it is almost closed that i cant even put my finger n i hav pain around clit wen its touched before i had sex. i get white discharge also.
|
Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor, The history and symptoms suggest me that you had infection before you had sex. The act of sex has injured the vaginal epithelium. The physical injury to the vagina and the area surrounding has led to all these symptoms. I would suggest you to consult your gynecologist at the earliest for the physical examination to assess the extent of injury. For your symptoms, I would suggest you to follow1. Avoid sex until the symptoms comes down.2. Tab Azithromycin for three days to control the infection. 3. Oral Ibuprofen to reduce the pain.4. Give hot fermentation. Thank you.

Hi today I found 2 small hard lumps on my 22 month olds head. One is at the front on his hair line just right of the middle and the other one is just to the left of his crown. The one at the front is hard and the one at the back is a little softer. I m really worried as they was not there 4 weeks ago when he had his hair cut. Any advice?
|
Hi...by what you quote I feel that they could be dermis. The other possibility is that they could be lymph nodes. Unless they are bothering them, nothing to worry about it. Skin conditions are best diagnosed only after seeing directly. I suggest you to upload photographs of the same on this website, so that I can guide you scientifically. 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.

I had trouble breathing for two weeks (sob) but continued to vigorously exercise. Then, one morning, I had a sharp, quick, severe pain following the outline of my scapula (right). After that, I was very sob and felt like my preexisting gerd was seriously out of control. I spent the day ignoring the symptoms. Finally, by the next night, I went to the emergency department. I had a pneumothorax (R) and three PE (2 right and 1 left). WhicChatDoctore first? PE or collapse? Were they related? What caused the pain?
|
Hi, Pneumothorax can be caused by various reasons including rapture of lung ballad, trauma, iatrogenic, post infective, underlying diseased lung or connective tissue disorders. Sudden onset pain and breathlessness heralds pneumothorax. When you mention PE, in medical terminology it often refers to pulmonary embolism. (or do you want to refer to pleural effusion, which accompanies a pneumothorax, making it a HY Chat Doctor. Causes for pulmonary embolism include prolonged immobility, surgeries, accidents, OC pills, hyper homocystenemia, cardiac abnormalities (fibrillation). Pulmonar embolism has been mentioned as a cause of secondary pneumothorax in the literature. And pneumothorax can subsequently lead to collapse of the lung. Hope I have understood your question correctly. Regards.

im 23 years old. 3 weeks ago feel i aws feeling pein under mymy left ribs that goe to my back and now i have a very small ganglion under my umpit next to my breast its a little bit painfull when i touch it and i feel very heavy to my chest im worried does any one know what it is?
|
Hello! Welcome to Chat Doctor. You haven't mentioned your sex & is there any fever? Usually ganglion is found over area where there is tendon like wrist but is unlikely in armpit. This can be an enlarged lymph node. If fever is there, infection is there and this goes again in favor of enlarged lymph node. Source of infection needs to be ad Chat Doctor. In a female, breast is more common site of infection. Breast malignancy giving rise to lymph node metastasis is unlikely at the age of 23 but can not be ruled out without examination. Consult your doctor early. Hope this information is useful for you. Wish you healthy life. Thanks. Regards.

my husband just has a liver ultrasound . I am a nurse ....but still worried .The US showed liver measures 18 cm in size . Increased echotexture. Hypoechechotic area right lobe is somewhat lobulated in configuarion measuring 2.6 mm x2.2x2 CM and left lobe measuring 7.5 x 5 x 5 mm No interhepatic ductal enlargement . Impression Incresed echogenicity throughout the liver with mild prominence of spleen suggest hepatocellular disease. most likely indicate complex cyst . HE HAS UNCONTROLLED NEWLY DX DIABETES JUST SARTED ON METFORMIN AND GLIPZIDE . WITH A RECENT REFER TO A DIBETES /ENDOCRINOLIGIST . WHAT SHOULD WE EXPECT HE HAS A VERY SOON UPCOMING MRI SCHEDULED
|
His have seen your ultrasonogram report findings. Liver MCAS 18 cm and increased echo texture means hepatomegaly with fatty change.it's quite common to see fat accumulation in liver cells causing enlargement in diabetes. Two Loculated hypoechoic areas mentioned as complex cysts in liver .we call complex when there is septa / solid component within the cyst. Usually population very difficult to detect in that small size mm cysts. Usually if only population is there nothing to worry.in law of elderly age and comorbidity like diabetes further evaluation as you are planning MRI is advisable. Thank youRegardsVasundhara

I have a diagonal crease on my right ear lobe and have had for at least 20 years (if not more). I am a 44 year old woman and take statins for cholesterol (purely preventative measure). My father (who was a GP) died at 61 years old with a sudden stroke and my GP said my cholesterol was at the high side of normal and that statins would be a good measure. I do not have blood pressure. Is this crease a definite indicator of heart disease? Many thanks. RJ
|
Hello, I would explain that there are many studies which indicate that ear crease is an independent cardio-vascular risk factor. Anyway, dyslipidemia, family history are other independent risk factors. For this reason, I would agree with your doctor on the description of statins for dyslipidemia. It is also recommendable to closely monitor your blood pressure values and follow a healthy lifestyle (regular physical activity, avoid smoking and alcohol and follow the Mediterranean diet). Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

I had a hysterectomy 6 weeks ago and have been doing fine but yesterday I got a sharp pain in my left side of my stomach next to where the scar is around my belly button. I don t remember doing anything unusual but the pain has been there since yesterday and sometimes it really hurts.
|
Hi. Noted the history of Hysterectomy 6 weeks ago and development of sharp pain on the left side of your abdomen next to the scar around the belly button. This may be due to intestinal obstruction, stuck to the scar from within the abdomen or a small abscess that ruptured or development of incisional hernia. I would advise you the following

On my return from the vacation in South America I got sick and had upper respiratory infection. I took macrolide antibiotic for three weeks. I was weak but lately I am finding that when I exert or do something briskly, I feel uneasy at the bottom of food pipe. I am wondering what is it?
|
Dear I can understand your concern. There are few possibilities for your problems this may be because of gastritis or gastroesophageal reflux in which excessive acid is formed in your stomach and some time get regurgitate in your food pipe and is common after use of antibiotics. Another possibility as you have mentioned it usually occur when you do something, indicates some pathology in heart and that need to be rule out. In my opinion you take antacids and keep watch over your symptoms. If this unease is progressing and is specifically related with exertion you must consult your physician for expert opinion. Hope this will help you. If you have any other concerns please feel free to message me. Thanks for contacting Chat Doctor.

Dear Radiate understand your concerns went through your details. I can understand. Disturbed sleep or lack of satisfying sleep are almost always due to mental stress and disappointment or anxiety.

Any physical ailments for you or your family members? The above are some of the troubles which could push you towards stress and disappointment. I suggest you to ignore the present sleeplessness. Engage yourself in physical activities, games, entertainment etc. for a week continuously. Enjoy playing with your child

|
Hello, I read carefully your query and understand your concern. The symptoms seem to be related to an allergic reaction. Everything can cause an allergy. I suggest using antihistamines such as Cetirizine 10 mg daily. If the symptoms continue, I suggest consulting with your doctor for further evaluation and specific treatment.

Im 37 yrs old married for 1 yr.On my 1st icsi long protocol attempt.My cycle was very regular ever since.My fsh 6.9,lh 4.7 both on D3. My progesterone 14& i was on duphaston for 3 months.My Amh 0.9 ng/ml which fell in normal category according to lab refrences.I was down regulated on D21 by decapeptyle 0.1mg daily and my blood works showed reduced desired results of lh, prolactine, progesterone and E2 after 14 days of down regulation.I started stimms the following day by 4 powdered ampules of menogon on 4 liquid ampules, my Folliculometry on D8 showed only 2 folloicles one on each side measuring about 11mm.my DR. said Im a poor responder and this may be due to poor ovarian reserve and increased the dose of menogon to 6 powdered ampules in 2 liquid, and added if there is no more than 2 follicles on D12,I will councelled wether to cancel the cycle or to proceed after measuring serum E2.Am I really diagnosed as poor responder??What do you advice me to do???I am so frustrated.
|
Dear user, welcome to Chat Doctor. Never lose hope and be patient. There are many cases which are worse than yours. If the follicles are mature (18-22\u00a0mm), and the endometrium is laminar and around 10 mm thick, you may proceed for ovum pickup but the results this cycle are not promising. If you are obese try to optimize your body mass index (BMI), and next time you should start with 6 powder per day and see what happens. If there is no response there are other maneuvers so don't lose hope. I wish you good luck and getting pregnant soon.

How long does it take to get completely over pneumonia after you have been hospitalized for it, taken 9 days of antibiotics (3 different kinds - 2 of them intravenously and 1 in pill form for 4 days after leaving the hospital). I still feel run down, cough at night, wheezing....tired of this. Its been about 3 weeks since I took last dose of antibiotics. However, I had to go back on steriods (5 days worth - steriod burst??) after leaving the hospital - 1 week later. I am 52, weight 110 and unfortunately have Familiar Primary Pulminary Hypertension
|
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. In my opinion, you are mostly having post infectious bronchitis. It is common after pneumonia. And it is more likely when you are having underlying pulmonary disease like primary pulmonary hypertension (PPH). So get done PFT (pulmonary function test). PFT will not only diagnose bronchitis, but it will also tell you about severity of the disease and treatment of bronchitis is based on severity only. You may need inhaled bronchodilator and inhaled corticosteroids. At the same time control of PPH is also needed. Available Chat Doctor. You should start any of these

My Daughter is 17 and is now experiencing painful popping and grinding feeling in her low back. She had an xray and the image according to radiology showed a L5 pars defect. Had an appointment with orthopedic he spent about 10 minutes during the examine said the xray looks nornal did a second xray and normal, told her to start running and doing core exercises for strenghthening. She tried, but to painful. Now she is begininng to miss school because of back pain and we are seeking a second opinion. Are there any specific x rays (flexation) or imaginging we should request.
|
I suggest you to go ahead with MRI of back (lumbar)spine and check the report in case if there is a severe damage or degeneration going on in spine then take a view with orthopedic doctor and if there is no much problem detected in MRI scan also then I recommend you to visit a physiotherapist. Here with physiotherapy treatment it will help to relax the soft tissues as well as it will also help to reduce pain. Physiotherapist will also suggest for different kind of back exercises like strengthening, stretching twisting, and combinations of all this exercises will again help her to increase the strength and stamina of her back. Here you are also talking about the constipation problem, I suggest asking for regulating her food habits, like have more of vegetables and fruits in her diet. Keep your breakfast good, lunch average and dinner minimum before 8 p.m. Also do regular walking before going to sleep for at least 15 minutes. All this in combination will help her so just ask her to follow and if there is any issue post it again here or talk to your available specialist. Take care.

I had systitis last week and ever since then I have had a dull ache in my torso, mainly in my back( left kidney area) which feels like it is bruised and all up along the left side of my rib cage. I also have experienced a sharp pain in the front of my abdomen which I thought mayb appendicitis but that has subsided. Any ideas what this could be?i have healthy lifestyle and diet and never get sick.
|
Hi. Thanks for your query. Cystitis is an infection of the urinary bladder and spread practically to all the urinary system including the kidneys. The infection of the kidney called Pyelonephritis can cause the symptoms of pain in the back, like bruise feeling sharp pain in front of your abdomen. I would advise you the following

my husband fell in the bathroom the other nite, and his ankle is badly swollen, the skin is very purple in some areas and other areas are very blotchy, I am trying toconvince him to go to thehospital but he says he can hobbleon it so it isnt broken. Should i make him go to the hospital?
|
Hi, The fact that his ankle is swollen and purple suggest a serious problem in the ankle. This most commonly happens at the outer side of the ankle. The purple color tells that there is a hemorrhage inside. Bone fracture is not common but sometimes happen. What I suggest is that you put an ice massage for 3-5 minutes every 2-3 hours up to 48 hours after the incident. Also, I highly recommend that you refer to a center that can take an X-ray from the ankle. It may require casting or other type of treatment, otherwise chronic pain and repeated ankle strain could the consequences. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Chat Doctor.

Months ago I was diagnosed with 2 ulcers that the Dr. said were almost bleeding. My Primary care physican ran routine blood work to check my cholesterol and the results show my WBC to be 3.3 Could this have anything to do with my ulcers? Should I tell my gastro. Dr.
|
Hi thanks for posting on Chat Doctor increase WBC count show sign of acute infection increase count of white cells in your body which are defensive system of body but it's not a specific test to include or exclude your ulcer if you see other symptoms please concern your physician for it. But specifically about your question its shows a sign of infection need further to be evaluated. ThanksRegards Chat Doctor.

Hi, my son is 3 years old and my dr. couldnt tell if he has mono or not, but every time he have a nap or go to sleep he snorts so hard and sweets and also wake up screeming in pain, like a headache or something Do I should take him to the Dr.? or hospital?
|
Hello dear!. I would like to have a detailed history regarding the symptoms your child a mouth breather? Do you have a family history of asthma and allergy? The symptoms which you have told possibly suggest your child has adenoid hypertrophy.It's not the usual age for adenoid removal. Till then, you have to treat him symptomatically. Give him a good anti histamine like Levocetrizine 5 ml at night, montelukast sachet 4 mg, dissolved in water, give at night (both these for 3 months). Keep his head a little higher and place a pillow below neck to keep airway open to make his breathing comfortable. You can also try some home remedies like one teaspoon of honey in a glass of Luke warm water given once a day. Give normal saline nebulization or steam inhalation at bedtime. Hope it will help. Wishing your child good health

How quickly will a patient with stage IV renal carcinoma deteriorate when last hope drugs (Sutent) begin to fail? Patient is 42 year old male, has taken Sutent for 10 months with some tumour regression, but recent scans show a reappearance of lung mets.
|
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your situation and problem. Honestly speaking, stage 4 renal cancer with lung metastasis carries very bad prognosis. And failing chemotherapy adds further poorer prognosis. So better to discuss end of life issues with the patient. Start palliative treatment in the form of nutrition and pain management. Life expectancy is less than 1 year. And five year survival rate is very, very less (less than 10%).

My husband complained of severe abdominal pain . CT showed thickening of the ileum . Negative for diarrhea ,fever, nausea. Appendicitis , cholecystitis was ruled out. About 6 months ago, he had the same symptom, was treated with antibiotics. After 2 weeks, the thickening disappeared. A few days ago, it recurred. He is currently on antibiotics again.Thank you.
|
According to the information provided it appears as part of colitis. Sometimes Appendicitis can mimic all this. Since the CT scan has ruled out appendicitis, the best treatment now is with antibiotics. After this episode diet modification will help to prevent recurrences. Avoid oily, fried, spicy food for 2 months. Have plenty of fruits, veg and fluids. Also avoid Red meat for another 2 months and limit their consumption. What is his weight? If overweight, lose weight and regular morning brisk walks for 20 min would be ideal. Consumption of meals at right intervals also is important... Many patients still do have recurrences but by diet control, it usually settles...

HiT hank you for asking Chat Doctor. I have gone through your query. Your problem can be osteocyte Chat Doctor. For such cases i advice NSAIDs like diclofenac muscle relaxants like thiocolchicoside and neurotrophic like erosion. Erosion is a nerve vitamin which helps in nourishing nerve and enhances regeneration. Physiotherapy muscle strengthening exercises should ORT be done along with this. You can consult an orthopedic to rule out the condition. Hope this may help you. Let me know if you have any further queries.

Hi there, I have understood your concern. I will suggest you the best possible treatment options. Please do not panic. As you have already conceived before you need to confirm certain things to get pregnant again. Please get USG done to know about the uterus and Ovaries. Post menstrual HSG - hysterosalpingography will be helpful to know about the patency of the fallopian tubes. Husbands semen analysis after 4 days of abstinence period will be of help to know about the quality and quantity of sperms. Also, get FSH, LH, PROLACTIN levels done on day 2 of the cycle. With normalcy of these reports, you can opt for ovulation study on USG from day 10 of the cycle. This will help to know the day of ovulation. You can simply opt for unprotected sex act on and around the day of ovulation, or opt for GUI on the day of ovulation. Please fully trust in your treating doctor. Do continue with the treatment. I hope this answer helps you. Thanks.

I have about 5 lumps (2 about peach seed size and 3 smaller) in my lower left groin and abdomen area. There is no pain. These lumps disappear when I am laying down. I first noticed one lump there about 3 yrs ago and the doctor said it was a gland so I didnt pay much attention to it. Then when I went in for a physical 2 months ago I showed them to my internist. She said it wasnt a gland and sent me for an ultrasound. I the ultrasound lying down and standing up and didnt show anything. My internist said to see my gynecologist first and then my gastroenterologist next to see if they know what it might be. Why didnt the ultrasound show anything. Any ideas? I wasnt able to go to these doctors sooner due to eye surgery. ML
|
Hi, Such lumps can be seen only on high resolution probes. Of sonography. Request the Doctor and show Him/ Her where exactly the lumps are... apply a marker so that this can be evaluated properly. Multiple lumps in the area you have mentioned can be due to lymph nodes, lipomas, and so on. The chance of a hernia can really not be ruled out as this is possible.a good clinical examination can really help to know he diagnosis and lastly the ultimate success is by actual surgical finding.

My 9 year old son fell and hit his forehead near the hairline on a slide at the playground today. Its bruised around the site but its indented. Ive never seen this before. He says it hurts to touch, no headache or any other symptoms. Should I take him in?
|
Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor, As the injury is on forehead and indented, there are chances that there is an underlying fracture of the skull bones. You should take him to a nearby hospital and get it checked as early as possible. Please get an X-ray/CT scan to rule out fracture. For the time being, you can give him Arica 200, 1 dose now and second dose tomorrow. It will help in reducing pain and speedy healing. Hope it sorts your problem.

This is more of a psychological thing but, I keep seeing things like dead people hanging from trees, psychotic murderers, blood dripping down walls and young woman in white gowns with blood all over them. But theyre not there and Im the only one who sees them so... Whats happening? Am I mad?
|
Hello and thanks for writing in. I understand that the strange experiences of seeing non-existent things / people must be causing you a lot of distress. Now, it is important to differentiate whether you are seeing them in front of your eyes (like you see normal things) or whether you are seeing them as mental images. If it is the first case, then you are experiencing hallucinations, which can be due to a psychotic illness or illegal Chat Doctor. If it is the second case, then these could be due to stress-related disorders, obsessive compulsive disorder, etc. A detailed history and psychological assessment is required to arrive at the correct diagnosis. So, I would advise you to consult a psychiatrist and have a detailed psychological assessment in order to confirm the diagnosis and start appropriate treatment. I would also suggest that you avoid alcohol,

Hello! I have a question about my spine . I am 16 years old and since I was younger I noticed my spine sticks out. I have realized I do hunch a lot but I am going to pay attention to my posture more. When I bend over the bottom of my spine sticks out with a little bump/hump. Then at the top of my neck my spine sticks out too. I m very scared of this. Can it be fixed without surgery? What kind of doctor do you reccomend me to see, a chiropractor or an orthopedic? I have no pain but I am very self cautious of it. I really do not want surgery. Could it be something I heard of called lordosis?
|
Hi, You may have a slight kyphosis. This is when the spine protrudes a little. I suggest you see a physiotherapist who will be able to examine your back and posture to assess whether there are any abnormalities. The physio may be able to suggest appropriate exercise to help improve your posture. Spinal surgery is a major operation and not useful for correction of minor abnormalities or the spine. Chat Doctor.

hi i got my chest xray yesterday and the conclusion said i had suspicious infiltrate right upper lobe.lordotic view suggested..but my other result said that the heart is not enlarged,the diaphragm is sharp and distinct the pulmonary vessels are within normal limits,the superior mediastinum is not remarkable the trachea is in the midline the osseous thoragic cage reveals no significant bony abnormality,there is suspicious infiltrate at the right upper lobe
|
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your situation and problem. Normal chest x-ray is taken in PA (posteroanterior) view. In this view, upper part of lungs (apex) are overlapped by bony structures like first 2 ribs and clavicle. So any pathology in this part can not be reported correctly. So for better visualization of upper lobes, Lordosis view is needed. In this, chest x-ray is taken in such a way that bony structures can not overlap upper lobes and hence upper lobes are clearly visible, so lesions can properly report. So get done Lordosis view for proper reporting and diagnosis.

Ive had gut wrenching stomach pains in the morning for almost 5 years now. Ive had an endoscopy, an ultrasound, a sonogram, and a colonoscopy (sp). They have found nothing, but I spend almost every morning at this point bent over a toilet puking what little bile i can muster up. The only thing that has ever tempered this pain, is unfortunately marijuana, not something I can currently procure legally. Please help, I am just so damn tired of waking up at 5am to hurl myself over a toilet and then go get stoned. Im 25 years old, I cant do this forever.
|
Hi there, as you have yourself stated that there is nothing structural or functionally wrong in your gastrointestinal tract, the pain and vomiting according to me are a part of your dependency on marijuana which is psychosomatic, and you will need to wean yourself from this addiction. You may join a dead diction center and also ask your family physician to help you with medications to ease the pain. Take care

Good evening. During my colonoscopy this past Monday, a cluster of cells was noticed on the colon wall. A biopsy was taken and the result, I received a call this a.m., precancerous. Repeat the colonoscopy in three years with a more extensive prep. This one was two days. Seems to be the usual recommendation?
|
Hi.... it may be a dysplasia polyp... interventions depends on grade of dysplasia and involvement of base of that lesion. If type 3 dysplasias and involving base of excised tissue you need intervention now itself. If not can follow up at close intervals.taking aspirin, multivitamins, avoiding red meat, taking high fiber diet helps in reducing your cancer risk. Fecal occult blood testing, serum CEA blood tests can be done now. Get an appointment with an oncologist and review your reports please...

I am a 40yr female. I have had sharp pains to my left side at the bottom of my ribs for some months now. There seems to be no trigger, this happens at all different times and during different activities, often when I m not even moving. I feel truly exhausted but often can t sleep. I never feel refreshed. I also keep getting a sharp pain at the top of my head on the right. I haven t been to docs as don t want to waste time when I don t have anything specific it s all a bit general. Any advise/idea?
|
Hello thank you for writing us here. Your complaint suggest of chronic Costco Chat Doctor. A minor infection could be the reason caused by virus/ bacteria. I would suggest you to go for an ultrasound of your abdomen to know the cause and the treatment of your condition. Without investigations nothing could be done. You can still take paracetamol tablets to get relief from pain. I highly suggest you to see a doctor and get the treatment after proper investigations. Best regards,

Hi doc, im 23 and have been trying to concieve for 5years.. I have irregular periods.. Since i started seeing my periods.. It was always like that.. Well actually it started after i started taking contraceptives.. I took them in 2005, twice , from there i started to have irregular periods. In 2008 i had an car accident and i was two months pregnant, i lost the baby and had an internal bleeding.. From there my periods were worse than before, i bleeded heavily in 2009, till i went to hospital and they gave me some pills,then i was well again.. I fell pregnant in November 2009 and miscarried in 2010 January.. From there i started seeing drops.. My periods drifted far worse from before.. Sometimes i would miss my periods for 3months, and each dr i went to told me that its the way my body is.. There is no way they would help me.. I fell pregnant again in 2011.. And lost it again.. In 2012.. And lost the baby, even this year i fell pregnant and im afraid i lost the baby again.. I went to the doctor yesterday and she said i have a bulky uterus.. She did some blood test and were still waiting for the results.. The problem is that my tummy swells frequently.. And it hurts.. I last saw my normal periods lastyear December after i had an womb scrub.. This year from January uptill April there was nothing.. Until mid-April, i saw some few drops.. Even now they come and go.. Im realy stressed i dnt know what to do, all this times i was doing blood test, and it always showed that my periods are irregular but they never realy found a solution for me

Hello, I went through your problem. As per your statement from the year 2005 after taking contraceptive pills 2 times your periods are irregular. Meanwhile, you had a car accident in the year 2008 while you were 2 months pregnant. You had internal bleeding from where ? And you lost the baby. Meanwhile, you had some miscarriages. Your periods were regular for a few months after uterine curettage last December. Now your Chat Doctor. Did it a Hormone analysis and I like to know what medicines you were taking so far to regularize your irregular periods. My best advise

Hello. I am taking an antibiotic (ran-ciproflox 500MG) for a UTI and just started it last night. When I woke up this morning I felt a pain in my kidney area. I took one of the pills and threw up shortly after. Should I stop taking this medication or should I continue?
|
HelloThanks for query. Pain in kidney area with vomiting is not due to Ciprofloxacin that you have taken for UTI, but it is most likely to be due to presence of stone either in kidney or ureter and needs to be investigated. Consult qualified Urologist for clinical examination and get following basic tests done to confirm the diagnosis.1) Urine routine and culture. 2) Ultrasound scanning of abdomen and pelvis3) Renal function tests. Further treatment will depend upon result of these tests and final diagnosis more precisely on size and site of the stone and effect of the stone on kidney function. Till then take antibiotic like Cefuroxime and Nitrofurantoin with anti-spasmodic like Cyclops twice daily and urine alkalizer like Catwalk thrice daily. Ensure to Chat Doctor.

Hithanks for choosing Chat Doctor Doing masturbation is not harmful, but if u t feeling it is effecting your act with your partner and feeling to hold the ejaculation, then u need some Chat Doctor. U can start with tab XXXX 12.5\u00a0mg once in day and gradually increase the dose up to 37.5\u00a0mg. It would cause delay ejaculation, that would increase duration of sex. When u will enjoy sex with your partner, your masturbation habit will decrease. Thanks

hi D i have been addicted by the mastrubation habit so when i set to watch some porn movies so than after that i feel my self really hot than i cant controll on my feeling and prefer to the mastrubation so what can keep me out of being addicted by mastrubation and what is its importance and disadvantages
|
Hello dear,First, there is no any harmful effects of masturbation as such. However, if it is done regularly then it will result in thinning of semen with low sperm count. Since you are feeling that you are addicted to masturbation, and it is interfering with your normal functioning, you can try out the following measures

Hi. I had a microdiscectomy last june with a laminectomy of l4 l5. I just recently had a baby and began having severe lower back pain again from picking her up and such. I ordered an inversion table and began using it on thursday. I feel like my sciatica has been trigered or became worse since using the table. Is that common in the beginning? Dont know if I should continue using it. I feel like Im running out of options with my back.
|
Hello, I have studied your case. You should stop using inversion table. You may need to do MRI spine again to see for nerve compression If your new MRI shows disc bulge with nerve compression then surgery may help. Due to compression of this nerve root there is tingling numbness in your leg and pain associated with it. For these symptoms analgesic and neurotrophic medication can be started. Till time, avoid lifting weights, Sit with support to back. You can consult physiotherapist for help. Physiotherapy like ultrasound and TENS therapy will help will advise checking your it B12 and it D3 level. Take gabapentin till time. Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow-up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries. Wishing you good health. Take care.

My 2 year old daughter has what I thought looked like bug bites on he bottom. But she keeps getting more. her bottom is now covered in them and she has some up her stomach. She has spent a lot of time outside earlier this week but today she stayed inside today and still got more today. I am wondering what this could be? She has had the chicken pox vaccine and they don t look like blisters. She has no fever and is eating fine.

I have been bothered for about a month now with sore gums. i dont have teeth now and dont wear my denturesw unless i go out. i called my doctor who said its probably because i dont eat healthily since losing my husband and he gave me vitamins which have not helped so far (two weeks aGO). i AM TERRIFIED it may be gum cancer,can you tell me what you think? thank you
|
With your query, nothing to worry definitely it would not be cancer it can come just like that, so please be relaxed and cool. I think after wearing the dentures only sore gums would have appeared I believe do you have any discomfort after wearing this denture? Do you smoke? Are you maintaining good oral hygiene with the dentists instructions? Are you removing dentures before going to sleep and keeping them in water? Sore gums will go off by applying some gel ointments like colonel, Utopian etc... otherwise better consult your prosthodontist dentist for best treatment and get the dentures checked for any high points or irregularities. Hope this helps you

My friend had an illness about 3 weeks ago, treated with antibiotics. Symptoms included fever up to 102, moderate body/muscle aches, red rash across small of back, and heavy fatigue. It lasted a couple of weeks, then he felt much better and perkier. Rash almost disappeared. Now suddenlyi it s all back again. Current temperature is only 99, but he fears it s starting to climb. Possible causes????
|
Hello, Welcome, and thanks for sharing your concern I went through your query, and I feel, the symptoms you describe are those of viral illness, and it is quite possible that he would have again got infected, or a super added bacterial infection now could be doing this. Consult your physician and discuss this possibility with him, you may need routine blood investigations once again. I hope my advice would have been useful, in decision-making regarding your treatment, still if you have any clarifications or doubts feel free to contact back. Thanks.

Hello...I had 5 bypass in 11/12/2010....but Im still doing the feeling the same way as I did before the surgery...I was having chest pain and shortness of breath and tried all of the timebefpre the surgery...and im still doing it now...could there be another blockage or one that didnt take
|
Hello, What kind of chest pain, is it at rest or on exertion? How much is your ejection fraction? Yes, we can't rule out the possibility of another blockages developing. Your shortness of breath may be cardiac dysfunction which can be known from echo. So if you need evaluation for the cause. Also, medicines need to be optimized so let me the know the list of entire medicines which you are having, so I can adjust. You can have Tab Arbitrate 5 mg sublingual and see if there is any relief of pain. If your ejection fraction is low then it's better to restrict fluid intake to relieve shortness of breath. Hope this helps you and get back if you have any questions.

Hi,I had my wisdom tooth lower one removed 4 days back. While the pain on the site is reduced there is a swelling on the left inner cheek that is big. I have checked with the doctor yesterday and he said that wound had no infection and was healing well. The swelling on the cheek worries me a bit
|
Hello, Welcome Thanks for consulting Chat Doctor, as u said that you have undergone wisdom tooth extraction few days ago, you still had swelling in your cheek you don't have to worry about that it is still normal don't worry what happened is in wisdom tooth extraction swelling remains for a week AR about 15 days also I will suggest that you take proper rest, medication prescribed by your dentist and avoid speaking, as much as possible, speak less and do warm saline gargle also.

I have a painful, movable lump under the skin on the mons pubis area of my body. I m also 37 weeks pregnant. It is a shooting pain and is causing a great deal of discomfort. It started the other day and lasted a few hours. Hasn t happened again since now.

Hi. Thanks for your query. Noted the history and understood your concerns. A painful lump on mons' pubis in a 37-week pregnant patient can be due to either of the following

My child is one and half year old.She is allergic towards milk and egg.Even if we give some snacks which contain traces of milk product she will start vomiting and rashes will occur all over her body.And this is same for egg as well.But she is ok with chicken meat.Why is it so?
|
Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor, History suggests me that your child is allergic to milk products and to the egg, that is the reason why your child is having these symptoms. Milk allergy is may be due to milk protein intolerance or lactose intolerance. Individuals who are allergic to eggs, react to the proteins in egg whites. Every time the person eats an egg, the body thinks these proteins are harmful invaders. For both the allergen immune system responds by releasing histamine which causes an allergic reaction. Thank you.

Hello, I have had a very severe sinus infection and will be having surgery in 2 weeks. I take sudaphed daily and have for years. I also run low potassium whenever I am ill, (so sorry, my doctors nurse just called.)Anyway, they are going to check my magnesium levelsas well as I suffer dreadful headaches and sleeplessness.Do you have any idea how I can help myself?My potassium is 2.8 at present.
|
Hello Dear. Your potassium levels are a bit low. Normal levels 3.5-5.0 milliEquivalents per liter (me/L). You can eat the pulp of tender coconut daily which will increase your potassium levels. For sinus infection you can try home remedies till you go for surgery1. Humidify. Use a humidifier in rooms where you spend a lot of time. Follow the instructions for regular cleaning.2. Breathe in steam vapors. You can either run the shower and sit in the bathroom, or breathe in steam from a bowl of warm (but not too hot) water. Adding picks vapor to warm water is good. The steam vapors ease congested and swollen nasal passages.3. Use warm heat. Put a warm, wet towel on your face. It can take off some pressure.4. Try a nasal saline solution. While they don't contain medicine (saline is salt water), they can help keep your nasal passages moist.Also, your doctor might have given you antibiotics to take. Antibiotics like amoxicillin 500\u00a0mg three times a day, for one week will effectively help in sinusitis. Hope I have answered your question. Feel free to contact me if you have any more questions. I'll be glad to help you. All the besting warm regards Chat Doctor.

hi today a friend sat on my ankle and now it really hurts to walk and even hurt when im not walking it looks a little red but i do not know. i took some quizs and they said its sprained. but thats a quiz not a person, i am now putting ice on it, what do i do?
|
Hi, Your friend seems to have injured your ankle. Most likely to be a contusion as a sprain happens when you twist the ankle, but this is direct pressure on it. A compression bandage and ice is the first step, and you have started it already. Keep the weight off it by using a crutch or cane. But please note, that if it's not better within 3 to 4 days you need to check it out with an X-ray. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Chat Doctor.

My daughter just showed me an indentation on the lower part of her bsck side near her hip. It looks a little like a vessel in the cemter with a vein running away from the center of it. It feels a little like the tissue is missing under the spot. She said it had been there for about a month. She is 21 years old. Thank you.
|
Welcome to Chat Doctor I have gone through your query and understand your concern. It seems that it is normal and nothing serious. But because you are worrying you can get examination of her by general surgeon. If she has pain she can take analgesic such as ibuprofen for pain relief. MRI of the region may be more useful. You can discuss with your doctor about it. Hope your query get answered. If you have any clarification then don't hesitate to write to us. I will be happy to help you. Wishing you a good health. Take care.

I had my eyebrows, Upper lip and chin threaded to remove facial hair. Now I have raised, red, fluid filled bumps that look like pimples, but they are itchy. I washed with cool water, tried hydrocortisone ointment, Took benadryl and even tried aloe Vera. Nothing is helping. Please help.
|
Hi, I can understand your concern for raised, red, fluid filled bumps caused due to threading eyebrows, upper lip and chin. I can make a possibility of Allergic dermatitis due to threading. In Allergic dermatitis there are eruptions along with moderate itching and in more aggravated cases there is appearance of more redness which persist for more than multiple of days. The only precaution you must follow is not to touch, pinch pop or squeeze any of them otherwise it can get infected and can cause complications. If I were your treating then would have prescribed a medium potency steroid cream application such as mometasone or fluticasone cream. You can take antihistamine Ben Chat Doctor. Take care.

My husband has 4 popliteal cysts in his left knee, which causes him excruciating pain, just to stand. The VA Ortho Clinic has refused to do an arthroscopy to remove them until he starts exercising, loosing weight, and getting his A1C lower. They don t understand that it s too painful for him to walk for even short distances. He continually ices his knee and has been sleeping in his recliner since 2011 as it s too painful for him to go upstairs to our bedroom. Two of the cysts obscure the insertion of the medial meniscus and the ACL, so the radiologist couldn t tell if there is any damage there. Any idea on how to get the needed surgery done? His PCP at the VA Clinic refuses another referral to the Ortho Clinic.
|
Hello, I have studied your case. If you have persistent pain and large swelling then you may need surgical excision. You may need arthroscopic/open surgery to recover from pain. Consult at other center for treatment. Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow-up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries. Wishing you good health. Take care

Hello there! Looking at the cut & paste below...I have the exact same problem! IDENTICAL! I bought a 6 pack of Scmirnoff Ice flavored drink - Screwdriver with 5.8% ABV. About 2 minutes after drinking I started having severe upper stomach and shoulder/arm pains LIKE I WAS HAVING A HEART ATTACK!!! I immediately took some low dose aspirin and then noticed by face was turning a deep reddish color and I felt congested and uneasy. I had the same symptoms as the poster below. Really weird. Is it possible to be allergic to alcohol or is it a certain ingredient that causes this reaction? Seriously - my face turns beet red and the veins in my forehead stick out. YIKES! Stomach pain and shoulder pain when drinking alcohol. Rise in body temperature and redness in face Hi, Every time I drink alcohol with a high sugar content (UV Blue, Smirnoff Ice, etc.) I get horrible pains in my upper stomach and a dull throbbing in my shoulders. It s not something that has just happened, it s been going on for about 3 or 4 years. I m 20 and it only seems to be getting worse, I also notice a rise in body temperature and my face turns a bright shade of red. It typically only takes one mixed drink of UV Blue or two wine coolers for the pain to begin and the pain lasts for about 10 to 15 minutes. I m 5 2, 220 pounds, with pale skin, blonde, hair and blue eyes. I eat candy and drink soda with no problem. Its only alcoholic drinks with high sugar that cause the pain. Thank you!

Hi! Good evening. I am Chat Doctor answering your query. If I were your doctor, after a clinical examination, I would advise you for some routine blood tests like a CBC, LFT, Blood sugar, serum lipid profile, a serum amylase and lipase estimation and an ultrasound of abdomen, an x-ray chest, and an ECG to rule out problems related to biliary and pancreatic system and the cardio vascular system. Till then, I would advise you for a proton pump inhibitor, an anti-spasmodic, and possibly a broad spectrum antibiotic for a symptomatic relief. Further management would depend on the reports of investigations. 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.

Hi, About a week ago i noticed a small lump on my buttock cheek. It got bigger now to the size of about a golf ball. I tried to look at it and feel it - it is not perfectly round, it feels like its oval. Im not sure if its relevant but the days before it started i was flying around the glob for more then 20 hours.
|
Hi, Thanks for sharing your recent health problem with aChatDoctor! In fact, If I were your treating Doctor for this case of a growing lump on buttock cheek, I would come up with only one and one possibility that is a sebaceous cyst! Nothing to worry about this and try not to get infected there! However, chronic folliculitis or organizing abscess are also among other possibilities! I suggest you to go for an FNAC test of the lump for confirmation and to relieve your concerns! Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow-up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions. Wishing you good health.

I was in a car accident a week ago. I overslept nd missed work today (slept 18 hrs) woke up feeling still sleepy and tired and with a metallic taste in my mouth. is that a sign of a concussion? my head hurts all the time but doctors at er didnt think i should be checked for a concussion
|
Hello, Metallic taste in the mouth and tiredness are not SPECIFIC symptoms of having a concussion though they can be found present who have suffered a concussion. If you are certain that you struck your head against something in the car and immediately following the blow to the head you suffered any DISRUPTION or LAPSE in awareness or consciousness or if you are unable to recall good detail of what happened just before or after the accident then, you may wish to see a neurologist with concussion experience for a 2nd opinion. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Chat Doctor.

Good Morning, I have been suffering with a pain in my left side for the last few weeks its at its worse first thing in the morn , I find it very hard to bend down I am not in constant pain but hav grt difficulty if I sit down trying to get back up I did hav a kidney infection about five months ago and was wondering could this be another infection as the pain is more or less in the same place tho not as sever
|
Hi welcome to Chat Doctor forum. Thanks for calling Chat Doctor. Forum. You got pain on left side since few weeks. Worst in the morning, hard to bend down, and to get up from sitting position. About five months ago you had a kidney infection. As you think it is not the kidney infection, and in that you don't find difficulty of movements, and will have a change in urine like frequency, urgency, and burning. It appears to be the inflammation of the bones and joints. You need to have neurotrophic injections, anti inflamatories etc. I advise you to consult an orthopedic surgeon for diagnosis and treatment. You may need to have MRI, besides other routine tests for confirmation. Avoid taking more of potato, other tubers, tomato, egg, chicken, and seafoods. Wishing for a quick and complete recovery. Best regards.

i get stressed v soon.agar kisi ki bimari suni ya maut mujhe bahot low feel hota hai.i dont feel happy all d time.i cant enjoy life.i m in love also.but i cant live wid dat person so i feel ignored and alone.kahin dil nai lagta,kuch acha nai lagta,sabke saamne khush rehti hun par andar andar ghut rahi hun.koi meri asli halat nai jaanta.na kisi se keh sakti hun.plz help.....
|
Hi. As per me some more details are required to make a complete diagnosis. But on the basis of information provided, like not able to enjoy anything, this thing persistent for long time, a chronic sadness and getting distressed by small matter, point to diagnosis of either dysthymia or depression depending on your social- functional decline. This is a condition which need an intervention by psychiatrist who will evaluate the need for medication and prescribe you one if required, else may only advise on therapy, specially Cognitive Behavior Therapy. It will help you deal with your situation and help you come out of it

Yes! I played football from age 8 until the end of highschool. I am now almost 27. I never had a major injury but over the years my knees, lower back, and even ankles have progressively hurt worse and worse, especially my knees and back. I do landscaping work so it s always hard on my body. I take Advil Ibuprofen and Aleve but it doesn t work. Honestly the only times I have had the pain go away is taking painkillers? What is your suggestion?
|
Hi, The history sounds more towards having the muscle weakness of the back. You need to do regular exercise for your core to stabilize the spine. Also going swimming on weekly once should provide some more additional overall stability of spine. For knee, you need to focus more on stability exercises. I will recommend using the balance board for various benefits to the knee joints. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Jay In Chat Doctor.

Hi i am a 43 year old female i have 2 year history of sore mouth its extremely painful and raw, there is nothing can be seen to the naked eye, but when photographed by dentist it showed up as brown freckle like areas over gums roof of my mouth etc. i now have a hard lump to salivory gland area under my chin to right side! I am waiting to see a specialist for oral problems. Please could you give me your opinion on these symtoms Avril
|
Hello there...there are two things to this...one could be a viral infection and the second one could be because of major authors ulcerations...Tatum oral rinses can be used to avoid pain...this is a topical anesthetic solution that would give you transient pain relief... use the solution every day at least 3- 4 times a day and gargle the solution for 1- 2 minutes...Don't dilute the solution..... You can use this 15 minutes before consuming anything orally.... Submandibular salivary gland is the only salivary gland present below the jaw especially in the posterior aspect... salivary glands are swollen in various conditions... there are lymph nodes as well that swell in case of any inflammation or infections in the oral cavity...don't get confused for these swellings as salivary gland swelling... Clinical evaluation is mandatory before I could confirm your diagnosis..... Consult an Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon only for expert opinion and management....

I am a fifty year old man I take warfarin as I have a metal heart valve from a six year ago heart operation , my wife is still fertile and been having lots of problems with birth controll , so would it be possible for me to have a versectomy as I have to take warfarin every day we are concerned about not tacking my medication or bleeding after the procedure
|
HelloThanks for writing to us with your health concern. As long as you're bleeding and clotting profile, basically INR, is within normal range, you can have a vasectomy. You would need to stop warfarin for a few days, and would be managed accordingly. Why can't your wife go for ESsure.it is less invasive compared to a lobectomy and much better. Also, she too would be per menopausal, so you have only a few years left to desire contraceptive action. Take care.

Hi ! ,, l am having problems with my upper left abdomin stomach muscles or cramps u can call it,, every time l cough l get this wicked sharp pain ,,in which also gives me breathing problems,, seems to be getting worst,,l am a 57 yr old ,type 2 diabetic .
|
HI. The sharp pain in the upper abdomen as described by you can be due to muscle sprain. But it is important to rule out the fracture of rib/s in the underlying the area of pain as you are having breathing problem. An X-ray for the ribs with knowledge by the technician is required. As also an X-ray of the chest to rule out any pleurisy problem. Both are common, and can be easily produced as you have a diabetes too. I would advise such a patient to consult a Chest Physician for clinical examination and further management.

Hello, Thanks for choosing Chat Doctor for posting your query. I have gone through your question in detail and I can understand what you are going through. ECT is a good option and for depression around 7-10 sessions may be required. It may not help you with OCD and anxiety, but depression will certainly come down.

Lately When I lay down, or even after I lay down I have been having the sensation of blood rushing to my head. I ve been having right side head ache pain, and discovered a soft spot behind my ear that made my head pulsate when I happened upon it. Advice? I do appreciate your time and thanks in advance for any help in this matter. Today I had a horrible headache that radiated behind my eyes and right temple. I have a history of aneurysm in my family. Mildly concerned. 27, female.
|
Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns. Fisrt of all, I would exclude any of your headache history being related to any aneurysm. It is true that people who have family history for brain aneurysm are at greater risk for harboring an aneurysm, but this does not make an indication for radiologic screening. Considering your headache being on the right side, I would recommend the family GP to take a history on a possible migraine type of headache. The sensation of blood rushing is nothing serious nor your spot which may be a simple inflammation. Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow-up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions. Wishing you good health.

My daughter 3 yrs old is suffering from viral infection since last 6 days. She had symptom of high fever, coughing, cold & throat /abdomen painWe consulted doctor and was prescribed Crocin DS syrup, Salmucolite. Now after 6 days fever has gone down and it touches 100 during day once and the nI give crocin to her. She still coughs and has abdomen pain. She also has loose motion but only 1 or 2 times a day that too semi solid stool. Pl advise
|
Nothing to do much in case of viral infection. It will take at least 5-7 days time to recover from the viral infection. Treatment is only symptomatic not much to worry. You can use Spy Modified CV 5ml three times daily or Spy O2 5ml two times daily with Spy Ibugesic-plus 5ml three times daily if fever is continuous or if fever is on and off than only when it comes with Spy No-Cold or Spy Cetirizine 5ml two times daily for cold with Spy Bandy Plus 5ml stat then repeat after 7\u00a0days if abdominal pain is persistent.

I had several teeth extracted on November 20th in prep for a denture. Im now experiencing large flaps of skin coming off the extraction sites, pain, and lots of sharp bony pieces cutting into my tongue, gums and inside cheeks as well as causing my upper pallet to bite down on the inside of my bottom lip and irritating that as well. Of course this is happening on a weekend. Is this cause to be alarmed and go to an ER or is this normal? I also spikd a fever of 100.3 and have a sore throat and headache. I am a septic shock survivor so Im very worried and anxious.
|
Hello and welcome. Thanks for sharing your concern. Since you have got multiple extractions done in your jaw therefore you are experiencing open flaps in the jaw. It is best to see your dentist and get them sutured(stitched). This will not only enhance healing but reduce interferences. Even the bony spicules which are irregular can be smoothed by an instrument called longer. Presently there is no hurry you can do warm saline rinse very gently and see your dentist within two days. Hope it helps. Thanks. Take care.

Hi. I had a gallbladder attack about 8 years ago and my sister who is a doctor had me get an ultrasound about 4 years ago. I was fine and she said I have gallbladder disease. It is acting up more regularly as I get older and am wondering if I should have it checked again?
|
Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You had gall bladder disease. It can be Gill stone or cholecystitis. If you want to check then go for ultrasound abdomen, serum bilirubin level, GET, alkaline phosphatase. If all this levels come to normal then no need to worry. If any test results are altered then consult your doctor and plan 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.

From last 2 or 3 months I had a white spot under my scrotum sac and it itches may be once a day more or less in night or in morning .. but I think its size increased in past few days not sure .. when I use some anti itching cream itching goes, request you to help me out on this
|
helloThanks for the query. Probably you have developed a fungal infection. The area of scrotum is a bit moist and is prone to develop fungal infection. It can be easily treated with the use of an antifungal cream. You can use an over-the-counter antifungal cream like clotrimazole. Remember to use the cream for at least one month continuously. Maintain good personal hygiene. Its better to meet a dermatologist and get yourself examined. Let me know if you have any other doubts. Thank you.

I have a painful lump in my right breast, mid-cleavage. Not long ago I had a blemish there but it drained (there was pus) but there was no pain. Now it s back and painful. I have tried to relieve whatever is there by squeezing the area, but very little pus comes out. How long should I wait before I seek medical attention?
|
Hi. Thanks for your query. Noted your history and understood your concerns. The recurrence of a sinus like formation in the right breast needs immediate medical attention and an opinion of a General Surgeon for clinical evaluation, examination and if needed total; excision of the lump for the following reasons

hi, sir i am having udiliv300 & bycozyme cforte due to problem in liver. my pt is 108 (required 67) , albumin is on border line. ot is normal. fatty liver. i am also having digiplex t. i drink scotch once in 15 days. now question is that what i do to become my liver normal. is there any medicine which can reduce fat from liver & my all reports can be normal?
|
Hello, I read your question very carefully and appreciate your concern for your health. I would like to tell you that there is no medicine which can reduce fat from liver, so don't even think about it. Only way to reduce fat from liver is to reduce your body weight and for that you will have to do regular brisk walking, have healthy diet, avoid oily and fatty food, avoid alcohol and smoking, do regular meditation to remain stress free, etc. I would also advise you to check your fasting lipid profile and repeat it every 3 to 4 months. Also repeat SGPT after 3 months to check the effectiveness of these modifications and medications. So have patient and buy some time to get back your reports to normal. Hope this answers your question and let me know any of your further relevant queries.

Hi, Target treatment should not be to lower ESR, it should be to make complete diagnosis and treatment. However, as raised ESR is concerned it is due to a lot of conditions just reflecting an inflammatory response of body. Get the complete arthritis profile of your father done which includes -X-rays of the affected part-Hgm-CRP-thyroid profile-serum vitamin D levels-RA factor-Anticcp-ANA-serum uric acid. Once you get the exact diagnosis then target the disease to be controlled or cured. ESR will automatically revert to normal. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Im 17 years old, 140 pounds, and have had this problem ever since I can remember. Every time I lay down on my back I have severe lower back pain for about 15 minutes and then it stops and I am fine. I usually avoid this by sleeping on my side. Any suggestions?
|
Hello, Thanks for your query. It seems that your increase in weight; wrong body posture; inadequate exercise and reduced muscle tone is taking a toll on your back. For pain to go, it takes not only rest (on a comfortable bed) but also avoidance of particular positions (during work, rest or recreation). During the day don't sit in one position for more than an hour and take frequent stretch breaks. Do not bend forward to lift things up, bend the knees and hips for that. Also discontinue any strenuous activity or exercises for some time. I suggest you to try back strengthening exercises by extension of the back muscles which can be taught by your Physiotherapist. This will help to relieve the possible muscle spasm which causes the pain. You may go for a physical examination by your Orthopedic to rule out any spine related pathology. You may be prescribed painkillers and/or muscle relaxants which should give you relief. Physiotherapy may also be advised if necessary. I would suggest you to try swimming as this will help most in back conditions. I do hope that you have found something helpful, and I will be glad to answer any further query. Take care

My grandson is suffering from toothing and has loose motion one doctor has suggested ofm suspension n there is different opinion that it is not to be given my grand is 1year7 month old loose motion is not in control kindly pls advice that the above medicine can be given to him
|
Hi...loose motions form soothing come because the kids of this age keep everything in the mouth and this is cause for viral diarrhea. Stop OF - it is an antibiotic. It seems your kid is having viral diarrhea. Once it starts it will take 5-7 days to completely get better. Unless the kids having low urine output or very dull or excessively sleepy or blood in motion or green bilious vomiting...you need not worry. There is no need to use antibiotics like OF unless there is blood in the motion. Antibiotics might worsen if unnecessarily used causing antibiotic associated diarrhea. I suggest you use zinc supplements (Z&D Chat Doctor.

Hello, a positive Bag means that you have been infected with the hepatitis B virus. If you had no clinical syn Chat Doctor. As your doctor already suggested a repeat measurement after six months will prove chronic hepatitis. If the rest of your laboratory findings suggest a chronic active hepatitis B then treatment is indicated and bears a good chance of success. Of course, you can get married, you just have to follow your doctors' advice to avoid getting your future wife infected too (and your kids). There is no need to adjust your diet, since you had no clinical syn

Dear Mustafa, Your nasal sinus may require cleaning. Your left side nasal blockage suggests that you are probably suffering from Deviated Nasal Septum also. Thus, you should consult an ENT specialist personally, so that he can remove blockage if required & can prescribe you proper antibiotics on behalf of C & S report. Meanwhile, you can take T.

|
HIT hanks for posting your query to Chat Doctor. Nausea could be either due to antibiotics or due to Urinary tract infection. But after starting antibiotics you should have been better, at least you should not feel hot. I need to know since how long you have been taking antibiotics? Was Antibiotics prescribed as per Urine Culture report ? I advise you ask your doctor for a prescription of Coquitlam to be taken along with Antibiotics. Also ask for a prescription for Prokinetic Chat Doctor. If Urine Culture sensitivity test has not been done, kindly get it done. Hope you find this information useful. Any clarifications or Queries feel free to ask.

Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor. I have read your question in detail and I know that you are very concerned about your child but don't worry about it. Recurrent discharge from ear could be due to incomplete treatment, recurrent sinusitis or perforated ear Chat Doctor. Since, you have already given antibiotics for 1 week, you should go for pus culture from ear which will help us in starting correct antibiotics. An examination by ENT specialist to rule out perforation of ear

Hi Welcome to Chat Doctor Your doctors have tried surgery (laparoscopy). Even after surgery ovulation is not occurring properly, so they have suggested IVF to bypass that event by doing ovum pickup. Actually at this stage when surgery fails IVF is the treatment preferred by infertility specialists. If you want to get a second or third opinion before proceeding for IVF to be sure that treatment you are undergoing is best for your situation. Age is important factor, so if you are <30 you have some time otherwise IVF success rate also decrease with increasing age. Take care.

Hello, I had a molar extraction in my upper right side on Tuesday of last week. On Friday, I went back because I had a dry socket and was inserted a gauze with anesthesia. Today I had to go back and get the gauze removed- the assistant scraped the top part of the extraction site to make it bleed again (it was the most painful experience), it bled, and was rinsed and cleaned out, inspected by the dentist, and I was sent home. Now, in the evening, I have a grayish, white-ish film in the extraction site and a dark red dot or hole right next to it. Is this normal? Please advise.
|
Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Read your query. It can be the healing site after applying medication to the socket. Take the antibiotic as your dentist has prescribed for you. If You smoke avoid it as it will prevent healing.Don't carry on vigorous forceful gargling. Do warm saline gargling. If the pain is persistent or the swelling is increasing, consult back to your dentist. Hope this was helpful. Thanks and warm regards.

My self is raj Kumar , sufferiing from spine TB (Lumber koch spine). Intailly , i was on akt 4 for one month. But MRI after one month of AKT-4 , there is no further improvemnet . And doctors suggested for spine surgery . I got spine surgery on D10 -d11 along with platinum instrumetaion. After that , AKT-4 with other antiboitics continued for 6mothns . Two prevoius MRI showd some improvemnet. But current MRI did not show any changes in MRI. DOctors says , there some small collection fluid and others .
|
HIT hank for asking to ChatDoctorYou have taken early decision for surgery, the spine surgery takes more time to heal the lesion, look the clinical improvements is the important sing and not the MRI even after the complete eradication of infection MRI could show some kind of changes or may exhibit as if disease is still there, you have given importance to MRI study and not to your clinical improvement, now take care, if you are doing well then why to go for invasive procedures, this will come around be patience, take care and have fast recovery.

I had a dental novicaine injection for a temporary crown in a molar. The Dentist said that I have a blood blister in my jaw from the injection. He told me to take an antiinflammatory and it should go away. It is very painful. What else can I do to relieve the pain?
|
Hello, Your body needs to absorb the blood that has pooled. If after 48 hours use heat to increase circulation and improve healing. Anti-inflammatory medication such as Tylenol or Advil is advised. Avoid massaging or added stress to the area. You don't want any additional bleeding which would cause more pressure. Keep well HY Chat Doctor. The swelling should slowly resolve. Follow proper nutrition with balanced vitamins and maintain gentle, good daily dental care. Contact your dentist if area does not continue to improve. Don't be alarmed if a hard area develops as a process of healing. This will usually continue to resolve with time. Thank you for your inquiry. I hope you will feel better soon. I am available to answer additional questions.

My one year old son woke up this morning and has vomited repetitively since then. I tried giving him pedialite, but it did not stay down. I have given him small amounts of water, but that comes up too. He has been sleeping on and off all day. He is not cranky and isn t being colicky. Just lethargic, sleepy, and vomiting. Not fever present. What should I do?
|
Welcome to the ChatDoctorRepeated vomiting without any fever might be due to VIRAL gastroenteritis or gastritis. In my opinion you may try an antiemetic such as Sup. Meet along with Junior Landon dispensable tablet. This should be followed by oral fluids such as lemonade or butter milk or a plain ORS. If he tolerates, continue same. But in case he continues to vomit or remain lethargic, consult a pediatrician so that a proper clinical examination can be completed to search for cause of persistent vomiting and lethargy.
|
i have inconsistant pain in my right side of my stomach and lower back pain as well. i pee frequent. the pain in tolerable unless i ampeeing then there is a sharp pain in my abdomen IF i put pressure on my abdomen. i have a slight 99 fever and a fast heart beat as well.
|
Hi Thanks for using Chat Doctor. You seem to be suffering from urinary tract infection. Get your urine cultured and sensitivity done.Meanwhile you can start a broad spectrum antibiotic with urine alkalizer. You can take tab acetaminophen if pain is severe, it will help in fever as well. Get ultrasound abdomen also done if pain is severe and radiating, to rule out any chances of stone, as it may also cause recurrent urine infection. Good luck.

My 6 year old daughter has what I believe to be an Allergy induced throat clearing cough that has gone on for 3 weeks now. I think it is throat clearing because it is not episodic, but a one cough burst and she claim tickling at throat. She is on Claritin once a day...although it seems to help other allergy related symptoms, it doesn t seem to address the post nasal drip. Is there something you can recommend? The Claritin is antihistamine only.
|
Hi, according to me your kid is suffering from some allergic symptoms. To help her come out of this, I would recommend you to give her warm water to Chat Doctor. This will definitely help. Antihistamines cannot be given for a long term for the simple reason that it would not work and the body gets addicted. You can consult your doctor and probably ask for nasal sprays which would reduce cold and post nasal

Hi, I developed a bruise on my chest this morning (centered basically where a necklace would hang), and Ive been coughing a fair bit today. I figured the cough was from allergies, but now Im starting to feel a bit dizzy. Are these symptoms related? Should I go and see a doctor, or am I being a hypochrondriac?
|
Hello dear, Thank you for your question. Bruises usually come from local trauma whereas hives (urticaria) are the main manifestation of allergy. And usually allergic skin manifestations are numerous in different parts of the body. So your bruise doesn't seem connected with the other symptoms. Cough can come from different causes including

Hello! So I have had throat stones appear in my tonsils but they have been appearing more so recently. Also, just since yesterday, I don t see any of the throat stones in the back of my throat but I am still having the bad breath smell symptom from them. And in the back of my tonsils, if I press my finger against the crypts, a whitish/yellowish colored substance oozes out of the crypt. Also, I have had these bumps on the very back of my throat for a few days and just passed it off as an irritation due to an allergy. I am beginning to worry that something is wrong with my tonsils. Do you have any advice or suggestions as to what may be going on? Or what I should do?
|
Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query. The yellow discharge could be a pus from the infected tonsil. It can be secondary to the tonsillitis or peritonsillar abscess. Consult a ENT surgeon and get it treated. Meanwhile you can take a course of antibiotics like amoxicillin 500\u00a0mg and metronidazole 400\u00a0mg TID for 5 days (if you are not allergic). Do saline gargling. The halitosis is because of this problem only. Once you get the tonsils treated everything will return to normal. I hope my answer will help you, take care.

mother in law had knee replacement surgery. She has had problems with swelling in the leg/knee area. She was dismissed from hospital today and now has clear fluid leaking from her forearm. Is this related to the swelling and the body trying to release all of the built up fluid? She is on 2 diuretics.
|
Hello, As she has undergone knee replacement surgery, post-discharge there needs to be measured taken for having medicine which is described to avoid infection and pain. Due to infection, there may be chances of having fluid discharge and antibiotics are advised. Diuretics may have been given to avoid swelling and that is common. If her vitals are stable then there is nothing to worry. You can start the simple exercises like knee range of motion exercises, static Qua Chat Doctor. Post the removal of the stitches exercise which is focused on strengthening the muscles will be good. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Jay In

Hi, From what you're describing I don't detect anything organic to worry about although a better person to clear you for any type of organic bladder or other problem would be either your family doctor or your urologist or gynecologist. But it really does sound like you can ad Chat Doctor. I believe you've had enough surgery for a lifetime... time to heal up and approach things from a nonsurgical perspective for a while in my opinion... otherwise, it's a never-ending circle. In my opinion, surgery begets more surgery... no matter how much anybody says that statements not true... I see it way too often for it to be pure coincidence. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

I recently took my prescribed medication, but now I have a very horrid feeling in my chest. It hurts to breathe and it s causing me to worry about whether or not my heart can withstand this pain. Could someone please help me figure out what might be wrong? Please and thank you
|
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. In my opinion you should first relax and be calm. I advise you steps to proceed.1. Get done ECG to rule out cardiac cause for your chest discomfort.2. If this is normal than get done chest x-ray and PFT (Pulmonary Function Test) to rule out pulmonary cause for your chest discomfort and breathing problem. If both are normal than get done CBC and S.TSH to rule out anemia and thyroid causes. If everything above is normal than you must have anxiety associated symptoms. So be relaxed and keep calm. Avoid stress and anxiety.
