Hi I am an occupational therapist and one of my clients (1 year old) recently in January had her adenoids removed. Since her surgery, she has developed what seems to be an allergy to milk products causing breaking out of her feet and lower legs every time she drinks milk or eats anything with milk in it. It goes away. She was drinking milk and eating other dairy products before surgery without any breaking out. Could this be a result from the surgery?
|
HI, thanks for using Chat Doctor Adenoids are part of the immune system, and it is possible that there was some change in the immune response as a result of the surgery though it should not be to this extent. It is also possible that she is now showing her intolerance for these products. In some persons, initial use of certain foods and Chat Doctor. This can even happen in adults, they start showing allergic reaction to foods that they have used for years. I hope this helps

When I was born, my parents have told me that, my heart was to big in proportion to my body.I didnt hav to go throug a sergery, I just got some medicins, and after 3 weeks I could leave the hospital. My question is
|
Hi Welcome to Chat Doctor, I understand your query and concern. The diagnosis could be Cardiomegaly or Dilated cardiomyopathy. I advise you to get a 2 Dimensional Echo cardiograph of your heart immediately to confirm the diagnosis. A routine ECG, lipid profile, chest x-ray will help for evaluation. Once the diagnosis is confirmed, depending on heart parameters like Ejection fraction, blood pressure, heart rate the treatment options can be framed out. Avoid strenuous activities. Avoid smoking or alcohol if any, Report to emergency if you have symptoms like Shortness of breath, chest pain or dizziness. Consult your cardiologist for expert management. Post your further queries if any, Thank you.

I have a burning sensation on the feet, hands, urine gland & have rashes on my cheeks, I treated a lot, but no improvement, It is my unfortunate that Doctors can not Diagoniss my diseases. Can you pl tell me the actual cause of my diseases & Advice me what to do

Hello, Eczema or urticaria or autoimmune disease or allergic dermatitis may cause this problem. Still, many more causes may present like this. Until examination is done it is difficult to say what it is. Get it done eosinophil count, blood sugar, serum creatinine, and electrolytes. Check for thyroid status. Apply lactocalamine Kelly over the rash. If symptoms not improved please consult your doctor he will examine and treat you accordingly. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Chat Doctor.

You are having a problem in your lumbar spine, and it can be either an intervertebral disc prolapse or a spondylolisthesis with a problem called sciatica i.e., radiation of pain to the back side of the legs. Do not lift any weights, and please wear a Lumbosacral belt. Consult an Orthopedic Surgeon and take an X-Ray Lumbosacral spine AP/Lateral view and most probably you will also need an MRI of the lumbosacral spine. Take care

hi. my period is 6 days late but i do not think i am experiencing any significant symptoms of pregnancy. around 10 days ago though, for 2 straight days i noticed a pulsing feeling in my lower left abdomen . during this time, up to three days after, my mouth was extremely dry and i d drink water frequently. now, i haven t had my period yet but last night, i was pressing my lower abdomen, i noticed that the left part is slightly painful when pressed, as opposed to right part which felt soft and not painful at all. i haven t done any pregnancy tests , but is it possible i am pregnant? thanks.
|
Hi and thanks for the query, Its actually too early to start expecting clinical signs and symptoms of pregnancy at 6 days. However, the commonest cause of lack of seeing periods in females of reproductive age, especially those having been exposed to unprotected sex during the fertile periods of their cycles is pregnancy. Mild pain or implantation bleeding might be observed as you described any way. The pregnancy tests used however become positive only after 7 days after implantation. It is reasonable for you to be patient a bit and do a blood pregnancy test, Beta Chat Doctor levels which is relatively very accurate. Pregnancy is a possibility, but expecting clinical signs of pregnancy as early as 6 days might be too early. Consult your primary care physician for pregnancy testing. Thanks and best regards, Luchuo, MD.

Iam 72 years old male. My creatinine level is 3.4 and BUN is 57. How bad is my kidney? Do I need dialysis soon. I have no other symptoms.
|
Dear S Krishnan, Welcome to healtcaremagic forum... High creatinine and BUN indicates renal failure. The severity of the condition is predicted by GFR... Dialysis is needed, if one has symptoms of fluid overload, electrolyte abnormalities, or when the GFR is very low - less than 10-15ml/min (normal 120ml/min). Asymptomatic CKD with GFR above 20 can be managed conservatively with fluid and dietary restriction, risk factor control and other supportive medications... Wish you good health.

hI,I WAS TOLD I HAVE CHRONIC KIDNEY DIEASE,AN THAT MY KIDNEY FUNCTION IS ONLY 22%,BUT I AM ONLY EXPREIMENTING ABOUT 3 OF THE 7 SYMPTOMS,I HAVE SICKLE CELL DIEASE, AN WAS TOLD THAT BY THE END OF THIS YEAR BEGINNING OF NEXT YEAR I WILL BE ON DIALIYIAS, THAT IS NOT A GOOD COMBINATION,SO I WAS WONDERIN IS IT SOMETHING I COULD DO MYSELF TO IMPROVE MY KIDNEY FUNCTION
|
Dear patient, The best way to protect your kidney, with the limited things you can do because of the serious underlying disease, is to avoid medications or conditions that cause deterioration of kidney function; the 2 most common and easy to ignore are deny Chat Doctor. Sickle cell patients indeed can get end stage renal disease, and if you get to that stage, then dialysis, either intravascular or peritoneal, could be indicated to replace the functions of the kidneys. Yours truly,

My 13 yr old son told me last night that he had kneecap pain, but only when he sits and he didn t fall or hurt the somehow. He then said it s like when his fingers hurt. I was surprised but he said his fingers often hurt and that s just normal for him. Is this a growth thing? My younger son has oschlingers something that comes and goes, but this sounds different.

Hi, Welcome to the ChatDoctorBrief answer. It could be juvenile arthritis. Detailed answer.juvenile arthritis is autoimmune joint disease, which can cause different joint pains, stiffness of body and body aches and on and off five. My opinion would be got blood Rheumatoid factor (RA factor) and ANA factor tests, and X-ray knee joints done, and discuss with the HEMATOLOGY specialist. Hopefully my answer is helpful. Maheshtala

so about a year ago i had my tongue pierced and about two to three months afterwards i took it out... now at the bottom part of my tongue where the hole was from the piercing there is now a bump there and it has been a concern to me i am just curious as to what this could be?
|
Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor. This could be due to impacted food with granuloma/ or could be mucous inclusion Desmond cyst/ or could be abscessed at the pierced site. Hope this would help you to resolve your query. Else Contact with a Followup Premium question to ME.

i have chest and back pain from one month. I have finished all test related to heart like xray,ecg or tmt etc.. all are clear. Only triglceride 320 and uric acid is 8.4. Doctor told me this chest pain is not related to heart. So he told me to take madicines shelcal 500 OD for 3mth, vonder tab BD for 3mth, CMD3-60K once a week for 10 week and Divon MR BD for 5 days. please tell me these madicines are suitable for my chest pain
|
Thanks for asking your question I completely understand your problem your uric acid levels are on the higher side. Yes you can continue with the analgesics.thing u need to do is ask your physician ti have your calcium levels checked .this is all regarding backache. Chest pain cannot be due to this reason. If chest X-ray is normal no need to worry. You can consult a pulmonologist if chest pain does not resolve .he can guide you better thanks/ regards feel free to ask more questions may god bless you with good health

I had a cholesterol test done and the results are concerning. Ttl cholesterol was 229, triglycerides 224, hdl 48, LDL 132. The dr wants to put me on meeds before talking diet and I did not fast before the test which seemed odd. Concerned? Should I opt for meeds first?
|
Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You have high triglycerides and LDL cholesterol. It is independent risk factor for coronary heart disease. You should take low fat diet with high amount of polyunsaturated fatty acids and high fiber diet. Then repeat your cholesterol levels after 1 month. Then if needed you can take Chat Doctor. But it is prescription based medicine so consult your doctor and take treatment accordingly. Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Wish you a very good health.

I have a bad tooth that has behaved itself mostly for some time. it has been sore to press on the area under my nose above the gum and to bit hard on it . .or if food gets into the decayed area . .but otherwise no biggie. This morning I woke up and my face is swelling in that area and sore . . . . the tooth no longer hurts however even to bite hard on it. Suggestions
|
Hi, Thanks for asking the query, According to your symptoms I suppose that you have developed infection in your tooth this had spread to the periapical tissue leading to pain and swelling. I would suggest you to visit to a Dentist. Get an x-ray done. Start with root canal treatment of the tooth. Take complete course of antibiotics and analgesics. At home take lukewarm saline and antiseptic mouthwash rinses. Hope this helps out, Regards...

I have a dull pain on the left side of my abdomen at the height of my navel that has persisted for about 10 days. i can feel that an internal organ is swollen. It is giving me back and hip pain as a result. I want to see a doctor but am not sure what organ is involved and therefore what doctor to see. Is it likely to be my large intestines? If this is the case, I have a colonoscopy scheduled in a week and will wait.
|
Hello, Thanks for the query to Chat Doctor. Forum. If I were your treating doctor for this case of dull pain on the left side of abdomen, I would come up with these possibilities, This includes.1 Left renal stone, diagnosis can be confirmed by ultrasound of abdomen as pain is in the abdomen as well radiating to the back. This is the site where kidney lies .2 Left intestinal tumor as pain is dull, diagnosis can be confirmed by ultrasound of abdomen with emphasis over this area. Colonoscopy also help in this case. But I would like to get in ultrasound of abdomen before colonoscopy.3 Amoebic colitis is the another cause of this pain, so physical as well clinical examination will find out the reason of this pain. In my opinion first consult a physician and get his opinion regarding kidney stone. Good luck.

My uncle had a massive heart attack last Tuesday around 7 am. He has been asleep for 7 days now and is on the dialysis machine along with damage to his liver (but doc says it is improving and stable), he also has an infection in his stomach .....The doctors just sent him in for a C scan, where they found a mass on his brain, so now he is onto the MRI . He has been taken off the ventilator for 36hrs now (with the exception of a few hours last night to not over work him, I guess). I guess my question is what is going on and why has he not woken up? I live in Seattle, WA and he is in Spokane, WA so I can t ask the doctors whats going on and my family is not in the best shape to talk, so I am hoping you can help me please! Of course I am worried but want to know the truth if he can recover and not to keep dancing around the real truth Well I would love to have the answer but I guess you have to pay??? Why does finding out a question have to cost? My uncle life is worth more than 18$ to whomever this firm is! People should not have to pay to have a question be answered for a loved one! This makes me sick and really upset! Nothing personal to whomever the doctor is on the other end but really? I am asking for help, not to give money.....this is so sad and I am truley upset that this is what our world has come to??? Thanks, but no thanks! I guess everything has a price
|
Hi and welcome to Chat Doctor.I am sorry about your uncle, and it sounds like very serious and life-threatening condition which is to be expected in massive heart attack. I cant say what brain mas is, but it can be tumors, intracranial bleeding or brain insult. In every case this is not good sign. Why isn't he awake? Probably because he has acute brain damage and his brain suffered ischemia during his heart attack. So you need to be patient but prognosis isn't well. Wish you good health.

I have recently seen a Kidney Specialist and she says that I probably have something called Medullary Cystic Kidney Disease Type 1 Stage 2, but we cant be sure without doing a biopsy, and I am extremely worried because she also said that the only treatment available would be a transplant within the next 5 to 6 years, is there anything else that can be done?
|
HelloThanks for query. You have been suspected to have Medullary Cystic Kidney Disease type 1. This is a kidney-specific disorder. It is characterized by slowly progressive tubulo-interstitial disease that leads to end-stage renal disease (ESD) and the need for dialysis or kidney transplantation. The diagnosis can be confirmed only on doing a kidney biopsy and few tests. It being a progressive disease one may land in Chronic Renal failure over a long period and may need Renal Transplant. Unfortunately there is no treatment for permanent cure. One has to monitor hypertension and renal function under observation of a qualified Nephrologist Chat Doctor.

I M 30 YEARS OLD . MARRIED . I HAVE PROBLEM OF Premature ejaculation . before 2 years i get treatment on depression antidepressant drugs (cetrizine) now from 6 month i stop this medicine. i have habit of Masturbation daily from past 10 years. which medicine and treatment solve my problem?
|
Thank you for writing to Chat Doctor. I understand your problem of early ejaculations. I suggest you to reduce frequency of masturbation because very frequent masturbation leads to conditioning of mind to ejaculate early and this happens in faster ejaculation with partner too. When clients with similar problem approach me, I advise them one or more of the following methods which often help them.1. Stop-start technique of behavior therapy.2. Female on top with active role.3. Double condom4. Medicines like Fluoxetine 20 mg day or Paroxetine CR 25 mg per day. (To be taken under medical supervision only)5. Keel exercise also helps in some cases. You can learn the same from internet. (As if try to hold urine intermittently during voiding)6. Penile squeeze technique applied at the point of ejaculatory inevitability.7. Applying a local anesthetic ointment to glans penis prior to penetration.8. Leading partner to orgasm by exploring and stimulating other erogenous zones. (Other than vaginal containment movements only)One can gain ejaculatory control over a period of time by practicing behavior methods mentioned above REGULARLY. Practice makes a man perfect. You can consult psychiatrist for this. Hope, I ad Chat Doctor. Wishing you good health

hellooo I ve been getting abdominal pains both from the right and left side of my stomach for like a week now been feeling sick vomiting I can t eat properly I ve done a home pregnancy test but keep getting negative results so I don t know what it could be I m really worried now . I would appreciate if you could help me out. Thanks
|
Hi. Such pains on both sides of abdomen for about a week and feeling sick and vomiting all are suggestive of a classical problem of colitis. One gets the large bowel inflamed. A course of an antibiotic and metronidazole with probiotic, anti-spasmodic can give you perfect relief. This has nothing to do with the pregnancy. So do not worry about pregnancy. Consult a Doctor to get examined and prescription based Medicines and get well soon. Take plenty of oral fluids. ORS- rely Chat Doctor.

Daughter, age 38, has CML. Was wondering what it would cost for the trip to Arizona, Cancer Center there. She has Kaiser here in Sacramento and we were told the trip and treatments were not covered. Yet she s getting drugs that make her tired, goes to work when the pain isn t a lot (2 or 3 days per week) and I can see no treatment being used/exercised. Linda Q
|
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. CML is blood cancer which is having excellent prognosis if proper treatment is given. Life expectancy is more than 10 years with five year survival rate almost 70-80%. So strict follow up and proper chemotherapy should be administered. It is having remission and crisis phases. So chemotherapy Chat Doctor. So for your mother, I advise you to consult oncologist and start the chemotherapy. She may be in the crisis stage. So clinical examination and chemotherapy is needed. Convince your mother about good prognosis of CML and importance of chemotherapy in CML.

So I have for pretty much three weeks, and I have taken care of myself and my body pretty well since I was diagnosed. But last night I was around a few friends at their house and the were smoking cannabis out of a tobacco paper a few times while I was there, but I did not partake in smoking but was sitting with them around second-hand smoke. There wasn t a window in the house open, and I was with them for 12 hours. I feel absolutely stupid now, for being around the smoke!! Will this worsen the pleurisy and should I go to the doctor and get checked back out again for further damage to my lungs? I thought if I couldnt feel the effects from being around the smoke it wouldnt affect the pleurisy, but man was I wrong at least I think?! PLEASE HELP!
|
Hi, Thank you for your query. I can understand your concerns. Second hand marijuana smoke can produce a very small high(contact high) in people, around those who are smoking. The high that the non-smoking individual feels is said to be caused by the smoke that is in the room.However, second hand marijuana smoke is unlikely to have any effect on pleurisy for that matter to worsen it. Significant decrements in pulmonary vital capacity have been found in regular daily marijuana smokers and marijuana smokers may develop bronchial irritation. Whether second hand marijuana smoke will affect by-standers lung similarly await study replication and confirmation. Regards

hiI am Ahmed Soudi, From EgyptI am a dentistry student, I just wanna ask about post operative toothache related with eating Crackers associated witChatDoctorposite restoration..That discomfort is associated only with Crackers and there is no pain or discomfort with eating any thingI will be so grateful if you told me the reason and the solution
|
Hi, Thanks for asking the query, Tooth sensitivity after composite restoration mostly depends upon the cavity depth and the type of dentin bonding agent. Restoration with shallow or medium depth cavity usually have less sensitivity. Crackers are sticky substances due to improper bonding between tooth and the restoration creates pressure and sensitivity in the tooth. There should be presence of protective layer of calcium HY Chat Doctor. I would suggest you to remove the restoration and place zinc oxide eugenol

HiWhen I need to go to the toilet either to urinate or open my bowels Im in constant pain-it even wakes me up at night. The pain varies from stabbing like back ache on both sides to really dull ache which feels like its inside my hip. My bowel habits have changed dramatically-I used to go probably every 3 days but now its twice a day and is like diarrhoea, sometimes mucus is present and a little blood. When I need to go, I have to go immediately. I have in the past had a deep throbbing pain which feels its inside my bum but havent had this for a few weeks. I never feel like Ive completely emptied by bladder or bowels. I have got a kidney stone which is sat at the bottom of my kidney and has been there for a few years. Im in pain when I stand up from sitting down (lower back pain). Im always tired despite having 8 hrs sleep. I have a pain every day On my right side of abdomen just below my rib. I currently take sertraline and diazepam. Please help!
|
Hi, from history it seems that you might be having gastrointestinal infection either bacterial or protozoal. At the same time you might be having renal colic giving this problem as there is h/o kidney stone. This stone might migrate from kidney to ureter. Go for one course of Ofloxacilin, tinidazole combination medicine course for 5 days. Go for ultrasound kidney to find position of stone. Take plenty of water. Avoid jolting movement as it might aggravate your pain. Take antispasmodic like Metal spas or Cyclops as needed. Ok and take care.

A friend of mine has been developing a sort of bruising under her armpits, breasts, legs and on the palms of her hands. It is not really a rash and the doctor s have ruled out lupis or fungal infection. Her skin in those areas have turned to a purpleish/brownish colour and it burns to the touch. Her hands are even swelling a bit. It started about a month ago and has been progressively been getting worse in the order I listed above. Any ideas?
|
Hello, thank you for your contact to Chat Doctor. If I am your doctor I would like to see your friends lesion. In skin disease diagnosis is usually made by the visual inspection. But from your symptoms it appears more of lupus. Take the antibiotic cream for local application like tobramycin. Also use steroid like prednisolone tablet, and renovate cream for local application. But remember confirm diagnosis is necessary. If you have to ask anything else kindly contact me. Chat Doctor. Infectious disease specialist. Thank you.

my son has been ill for a couple of days he has got a rash and by his grind his skin is pealing bcuz a burning bright orange wee i am very worried i have phone the doctor and they have done some test but non have came back yet can you tell me what is might be Thank
|
Hello, I read your message and understood your medical issue. First, it would be great if I have a look at the photos of your sons skin to evaluate the rash myself. Rash on the skin is commonly associated with an infection or allergy, but before I come to my results I need to see photos and if it is possible the lab test results in photos. The bright orange urine could be due to highly concentrated urine most probably because your son was not consuming too many fluids recently or losing fluids with sweating. Try not to be worried unnecessarily. Keep your son well HY Chat Doctor. Wish fast recovery.

I just woke up and when I was simply turning over in bed, my heart started beating fast and kind of hard. It slowed back down after a few seconds, but it still does that with any physical exertion unlessIve been working at a steady pace. What can cause that?
|
Hello, I would like to have more information about you and the symptoms, however If the same kind of symptoms occur at exertion, and you are above 50 years of age, diabetes, hypertensive, obese, bad lifestyle or any other risk factors for heart disease, I will request you to get a Treadmill stress test done, as the symptoms you describe fits into stable angina. If none of the risk factors are there, and you are in your 20-30, but not used to exercise, the symptoms may be due to just a bad Chat Doctor. Regards

Hi Doctor, I was facing terrible itching on my scrotum. I used to occur mostly in the night. Due to scratching, sores used to occur on my testicles and it looked like an open wound. I consulted a local doctor and she diagnosed me for tiena cruris. She prescribed an ointment and antibiotic tabs. I have been on the medication for more than a week now. But the sores that appear due to itching are not heling. Dry skin comes up on the sores by night fall and I tend to itch in my sleep. So again the sores look fresh and are very painful. I request you to please advice me on this. Thank You Ved

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.

Hi Doctor,In 2004 i had constipation once and approached a gastro enterologist.He inserted his finger to examine and i remember stool comming out.He suggested fibrogel and usage of fibre rich food.Till 2007 July i didnt have any problem. That year i had bleeding at the time of defecation. I approached a gastro enterologist and he confirmed that i have fissure. He suggested to heal with medicine. If it repeats he suggested to have surgery. Again in April 2008 August i had problem.In all the above mentioned periods, the pain went off soon and i was normal.But in 2010 on New Year eve i had the problem again with bleeding. I still have the problem on and off. The doctor suggested surgery. I have only one fissure. He suggested to have surgery before the count increases.But i am not inclined to have surgery.Do you suggest Homeopathy or Sidha in this case.
|
Hi Welcome to ChatDoctorI have gone through your query regarding your fissure problem. Constipation is a boon of faulty lifestyle and wrong dietary pattern. Causes like unbalanced food habits, irregular sleeping pattern, low physical exercise are few of them. In elderly population, about 70% people are affecting or complaining about constipation. Constipation is mother of all illnesses. Fissure, piles are part of it. If you are severely constipated, the hard stools and strain during bowel movements will cause further harm to your condition by tearing - You may even bleed as the tear gets rubbed by the hard stools. You may feel an urge to itch the affected area. First thing you should keep in mind , Prevention is better than cure so try to eat a high-fiber & a low-carb Chat Doctor. Eat food rich in natural fibers to avoid this condition. Whole grains, beans, green leafy vegetables, carrots, figs, raisins and dates, prunes, papaya etc. are some of the best foods you can include in your daily diet. Fiber helps to increase volume and soften the stools, thus preventing constipation. Soft stools will put less pressure.- Avoid sour spicy foods, refined flours foods, as fried, fast foods cakes, pastries, white bread and biscuits. White rice and sugary food items tea, coffee alcohol corn, tortilla chips, and peanuts should also be avoided as they can cause constipation. Milk and milk products can cause diarrhea in some people, can also aggravate the pain in the anal fissures. A gentle instillation of olive oil into the rectum is an effective home remedy to treat anal fissures. You need to use around 50 ml of olive oil at a time. Repeat it daily whenever required, help to soften the hard stools. This prevents aggravation injury and helps heal the fissure quickly. Use of fresh aloe vera jelly compress on the anus will provide comfort from the painful symptoms and help heal the injury fast. Keep the affected area clean and

started last night. Under alot of stress right now. pain in chest, shortness of breath, slight numbess in left arm. Lower back pain and a sharp pain in right shoulder blade region. This morning, when I ate when i swallowed there was pain in chest area?
|
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. By your history and description, possibility of stress and anxiety related symptoms is more likely. But better to get done ECG and 2d echo to rule out heart diseases. If both these are normal then no need to worry about heart diseases. Consult psychiatrist and get done counselling sessions. Try to identify stressor in your life and start working on its solution. You may need anxiolytic Chat Doctor. Don't worry, you will be alright. Avoid stress and tension, be relaxed and calm. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.

my son had a chest x-ray 2 weeks ago and they just sent a letter stating that there is diminutive blunting of the lateral costophrenic sulci suggesting either tiny bilateral pleural effusions or minimal pleural parenchymal scarring. His aortic valve leaks and he had open heart surgery 12 years ago. What could be the cause of this and should we be worried?
|
Hi, your child had an operation for Aortic valve regurgitation. Now he has bilateral pleural effusion. This condition is a bit worrying because effusion could be due to the inability of heart to completely pump the blood out. This leads to back pressure and effusion. Get an Echocardiography done to get a view of the current status of aortic valve function along with ejection fraction. If you live in a high tubercular endemic zone, get a Koch work up in form of an ESR and a contour test. Also, consult your cardiologist. Thanks and regards.

I have a fizzing in the left side of my head...I have had one sinus infection after the other and found out I also have allergies. There is pain in my left eye...I always seem to have my left nostril clogged...I have used different meds, allergy, sinus spray, etc. but it keeps coming back....I have tinnitis, but this other fizzing is driving me crazy.Can there be something other than just allergies or sunusitis?
|
Healthier is a fizzing on the left side, left side nasal blockage, heaviness or pain in the left eye. These symptoms may be due to these reasons, these include.1 Nasal septum deviation on left side. Diagnosis can be confirmed by X-ray of nose of the effected part. As this is a classical feature of nasal bone deviation that it causes blockage of nose, and fizzing sound .2 Acute bacterial rhinosinusitis (AIRS). Symptoms includes, nasal congestion, facial pressure and or pain (if unilateral & focussed on one sinus as may be on LEFT SIDE in your case) , post nasal Chat Doctor. 3 Allergic bronchitis (maybe early stage of asthmatic allergic bronchitis) . Diagnosis can be confirmed by physical as well clinical examination. Deal as mentioned above. Good luck.

Hi, I can understand your concern regarding your mood swings. Your suddenly feeling low and wanting to cry can be due an underlying depressive illness. However, it will need complete evaluation. I would suggest that you consult a psychiatrist for the same and starting treatment thereafter. Depression is a condition where you feel low, mostly for unknown causes, feel low on confidence, and feel anxious. It can treat effectively with anti-depressants like Escitalopram or sertraline. With adequate and proper management, I am sure you will be able to overcome your mood swings very soon. I do hope that I was able to answer your query. Best wishes.

I have been diagnosed with a prostate infection. I have been on and off antibiotics for almost a year. I have pain in my penis and sometimes my lower abdomen. Recently they found ecoli in my sperm. I was given penicillin for 15 days, and again was found with ecoli in my sperm. I just was given an MRI for my pelvic around, and it found nothing. My belly button is an inward, but it is now an out or a soft lump underneath it. I bleed two days over a year ago while urinating. I have had blood word, they have found nothing. I sometimes get severe pain inside my anus. Any ideas?
|
Hello, Thank you for your contact to Chat Doctor. I understand your health concern, if I am your doctor I suggest you that do culture and sensitivity of the infected sperms. Take treatment according to sensitivity report. It is likely to be a closed space infection so radiological correlation along with treatment is necessary. I will be happy to answer all your future concern. Thank you, ChatDoctorInfectious disease specialist. Wish you the best health at Chat Doctor.

I have had numerous UTI S and I requested a copy of my last lab report, 1) for vaginal culture, and 1) lfro urine culture, final report on the urine culture was Morganella MorganII, b colony count 30,000, but no antibiotic was prescribed. Can I get over this on my own?
|
Hello, THX to contact us. I understand your concern. If I am your treating doctor I advise you that urine culture with colony count of less than one lac is not UTI. It won't requires a treatment. Organelle organic many a time isolate as a saprophytic organism or Laboratory contaminant. So if the colony count is less, it is not UTI and treatment is not required. I will be happy to answer more of your concerns, kindly know me, Wish you a very good health at Chat Doctor. Chat Doctor. Infectious Disease.

Hello. I have many problems with my lower back, herniated discs, degeneration, fibromyalgia etc. Had a new mri and not sure what it all means. *Sterile reactive bony end-plate changes*Neutral foraman and lateral recesses with abutment of the descending s 1 nerve roots bilaterally. *concentric protrusion with annular rentNo idea what all this means
|
Thanks for writing to us. Degenerative changes mean age related wear and tear in the spine. End plate changes means bodies response to the wear and tear by forming new bone such as osteophytes and sclerotic end plates. Also, the spine ligaments gets hypertrophied which further compromise the space for the nerves. Concentric protrusion is type of disc prolapse and annular tear means tear in the outer covering of the disc and this is always painful. With this finding, we treat patient with medicine and physiotherapy. Thanks.

Hi Frank Welcome to Chat Doctor. Localized swelling of veins could be due to any swelling or any obstruction. I advise you to visit your General surgeon and get it examined and evaluated. I would like to have information about any other symptoms like engorged veins anywhere else on your body or headaches or eye pain. How long do you have them since.

Hi, I am Chat Doctor, I have read your query in detail, I understand your concern. You have not attached your liver function tests. If you consume alcohol, most commonly the rise in liver enzymes is due to that only. But, if you don't consume alcohol, I recommend you following investigations

I have been experienceing stomach cramping and nausea for the past 3 months. It started out that I got sick with the flu (it wasnt bad, it only lasted a couple days) but since then at night i would have an upset stomach , every night. just recently i started to get the same feeling during the day and now I am feeling nausous during the day as well. i know it could be due to stress, but i have been stressed before and never experienced this. I am on the birth control pill, and i dont know if that may have something do to with it?
|
Hello, welcome to Chat Doctor. Birth control pills are known to cause upset stomach. So in your case it could be because of that. You need to take pill after having some meal. But one cannot rule out other bowel disorders like irritable bowel disease which are very common in middle-aged group in females. It would be advisable to get yourself thoroughly checked up by gastroenterologist. Wish you good health.

I had 4 wisdom teeth removed on Friday. Shortly thereafter, the same day, I had excruciating pain in my lower back. I went to the ER and they said I did not have a kidney stone and that it was either muscular or a disc? But it happened like right after I woke up from anesthesia. Any thoughts about this? Does anyone else get similar symptoms?
|
Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor. After going through your query I think You are suffering from acute backache after your wide teeth removal. Treatment of it is rest and analgesics. Diclofenac three times a day after meals is effective. Sometimes strong analgesic(such as attract three times a day after meals) is required. OMEPRAZOLE before meals prevent acidity caused by analgesics. You can discuss with your treating Doctor. There are two possibility, one is simple muscle pain, second is disc prolapse. I consider it to be muscular as this occurs after your four wisdom teeth removal, prolonged laying down on dental chair may have provoked it. To further investigate MRI of the region is advised. I think your query answered. Welcome to any follow-up query.

Sir/Madam,my son(20 years old) shares everything about himself freely.Recently he showed me that when he has a flaccid penis he s easily able to move his foreskin over glans and as soon as he got an erection(13.5 cm) the foreskin is moving only half of the glans and when he tried to pull it forcefully it slightly hurt him and when he left the foreskin it fell normally onto the glans of his penis.even he had an erection of about only 80-85 degrees erection and he said that the first he moved the foreskin back(when his penis was flaccid) was 5 years back.will it take some time to get foreskin get stretched and automatically move back onto the glans????.is the angle of erection in normal range or there is any problem??? because when we saw on internet we found that erection was above 90 degrees usually and as soon as man gets an erection the foreskin automatically moved back without any hand job.i asked him whether he s masturbating?? and he said that he does it 7or 10 times a week....as masturbation is not harmful should i ask him to masturbate much so that when he moves his foreskin front and back it may get stretched properly and also i found very very light brown colored patches(2 or 3) on his scrotum and is the length of his penis and angle of erection normal????should i ask him to stretch the foreskin by fingering ... please please suggest any remedy so that my son has proper erection and reduce his disappointment...
|
HelloThanks for query. Based on information that you have provided I would say that your son has Partial Mitosis. This is unlikely to get resolved by any measures that you have been trying It is advisable to get circumcised. This will help him to have enjoyable sexual life. This is a simple surgery done under local anesthesia as an out patient procedure and offers permanent cure and helps to have enjoyable sex for rest of the life. Chat Doctor.

for the last couple of years ive been getting extremely light-headed sometimes with black spots flickering over my eyes. also my limbs sometimes go numb and give out. especially my legs. I also get extreme abdominal pain regularly. also have chest pains sometimes. help? my doctors wont listen.
|
Hi. Thanks for your query and an elucidated history. Your problem is for a long time-couple of years, and you are getting light-headed with blackening, limbs going numb and extreme pain in abdomen. Your problem may be due to severe form of colitis, wherein you get deficiencies of many vitamins, minerals and trace elements. I would advise you to go for colonoscopy and CT scan of the abdomen in addition to the routine blood, urine and stool test. The proper diagnosis, its treatment and symptomatic treatment for your symptoms with therapeutic dosages of multivitamins, minerals and trace elements would give you the best possible results.

My husband has autoimmune limbic encephalitis. He has had the IV steroid treatments and has been out of the hospital for about 7 weeks. When can we see a difference in his functioning...as far as his initiation of ideas and processing of information?
|
Hello ! I read your question and understand your concern. It is a very complicated situation and the recovery depends on many factors including the time of diagnosis and treatment, the cause of the limbic encephalitis(the recovery is more rapid in herpes infection and is very difficult in paraneoplastic cause), the age of the person. Most of the cases (infectious cases) recover and gain most of the functions within 2 months. I would say that there are a lot of patients with remaining cognitive deficits, who don't gain their prior performance. I would like to know if the cause of the encephalitis was found. Furthermore, I would recommend you to be patient and work with him, help him with his verbal rehabilitation and memory tasks. Hope to have been helpful! Best wishes!

I have bilateral upper thigh nerve pain as well as bilateral calf pain. No pains at night. I sleep well. Could this be caused by anxiety. Have had this for past 8 months. MRI of c spine t spine , l spine and EMG all normal. Pain exacerbated with sitting and standing. Better when walking or lying down.
|
Hi, I went through your query. It is true that anxiety often manifests itself in the form of physical symptoms. Since all your reports are normal anxiety may be the root cause. Has something happened recently that has recently made you too anxious? Do you have difficulty falling asleep? Do even minor problems cause you to worry too much? I would advise you to consult a psychiatrist for the appropriate diagnosis that can be done only after a thorough history. Hope this helps. If you have any more query I can answer them.

Can a person get 7 erbitux treatments and then decide to get full voice box removal if their cancer goes beyond epiglottis.The person is 62, weighs about 114, and height is about 53. She is in a lot of throat pain after 7 erbitux She was trying to avoid full voice box removal. Please let me know if this still is possible and which doctor is goodat doing this surgery in nj?
|
Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. If your cancer goes beyond voice box and if it surgically removable then surgical removal of voice box is better. Oncosurgeon is the doctor who can do this best. Consult your doctor and take treatment accordingly. Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Wish you a very good health.

It depends on the severity of the disc injuries. But the rule in general regarding the spine is to keep surgery only as a last resort. Try everything else first

Hello Doctor,Thanks for taking time to answer the question I post here. After marriage I have severe stomach/abdominal pain where I cannot even move. i just bend downwards holding my stomach-- even breathing becomes very difficult. I have one advil pill and it eases the pain in 20 mins... is it normal? I have come across this situation twice. First time i got scared and went to ER. They took some tests and provided a report stating everything is normal. But am confused here.Can you please help?
|
Hi! Good evening. I am Chat Doctor answering your query. With your history of getting abdominal pain of such severity after marriage, I could think of either a resistant UTI (urinary tract infection) or a PID (pelvic inflammatory disease). If I were your doctor, I would advise you for a routine and microscopic test of urine followed by a culture and sensitivity test and treat it if positive. The PID could be diagnosed by a gynecological examination and a vaginal swab culture and sensitivity test. Apart from this, a general abdominal examination along with an ultrasound of abdomen would be required to rule out any other intro abdominal pathology. Till then, I would advise you with an anti-spasmodic along with a proton pump inhibitor Chat Doctor. 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.

Hello, i have a pain in the bottom of my stomach , it hurts when i move, and turn. and even when i press on my stomach lightly it hurts. could i have pulled or strained a muscle? or shall i go and see a doctor about this? a few weeks ago a doctor thought i had appendixis but i had a rumbling appendix and now a few weeks later this pain has come along.
|
Hi ! Possibly your pain is more on the right side for which your doctor had appendicitis in his mind. If the pain on the right side of lower abdomen, and is persisting or recurrent, then it really could be a recurrent attack of sub acute appendicitis which can only be known by clinical examination followed by some investigations to be decided by the examining doctor. However, one has to also keep colitis in mind specially if you are a frequent visitor to hotels, and chronic infections like granulators intestinal infections. You can think of a muscle being pulled or strained if there is some history of lifting a heavy weight with a jerk, or any history of trauma.

I have a rash that started on my lower legs, and now is also on my upper legs and arms. It isn t on the rest of my body. It is not welts or obvious spots, but I can feel the bumps when I run my fingers over it. It is extremely itchy and keeps me awake at night. Benadryl doesn t works that well. I am at my wits end.

Hi welcome to Chat Doctor forum. From your description it appears that it is not an allergy but is an infection, of either bacterial or fugal. So you need to use antibiotics or antifungals for cure. I advise you to consult a dermatologist for diagnosis and treatment. If your skin is Chat Doctor. Take balanced diet and nourishing food to make the skin healthy, and sea that the hemoglobin is up to the mark. Wishing for a quick and complete recovery. I thank you for calling.

Dear Deann, Keep your hope high. As modern medical treatment advanced you can manage these problems easily.1.First, take analgesic.

It is widely prescribed as a Chat Doctor. 3.1-2% topical nitroglycerin is very useful.4. Wear a belt for disc prolapse, but you can get maximum benefit from surgery.5. For carpal tunnel syn

|
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your problem. In my opinion, you are having HERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease) mostly. But better to rule out cardiac cause for your chest pain. So get done ECG first. If ECG is normal then no need to worry much for cardiac cause. GERD appears more in your case. It is due to laxity of gastroesophageal sphincter. Because of this the acid of the stomach tends to come up in the esophagus and cause the symptoms of burning chest pain. Try to follow these steps for better symptomatic relief.1. Avoid hot and spicy food.2. Avoid stress and anxiety.3. Start proton pump inhibitor.4. Avoid large meals, instead take frequent small meals.

But sir my question is that its major infection in liver with high counting of vires, LFT didn t come down within 01 month.continuously weight is decreasing. Please advice me or suggest me good treatment.
|
Hello, She is on initial infection is known as acute hepatitis B, meaning short-term inflammation of the liver. Most people are able to clear hep B from the body within six months of becoming infected. If they clear it, they are no longer infected, nor can they infect others. Additionally, they now have hepatitis B antibodies, which will protect them from future reinfection. So don't worry she is not recovering even after 6 months also from acute infection then please consult your hepatologist he will examine and treat you accordingly. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Chat Doctor.

|
Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. Masturbation has no relation with any health problem if it is coned within limit. You should concentrate on your study. Try to avoid loneliness, go for extra activities. Don't worry about semen volume. It is low due to excess masturbation. Don't worry much. You will be ok. Just be relaxed. Hope I have answered your question, if you have any doubts then contact me at bit.ly/ Chat Doctor. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Wish you a very good health.

Hello, I am 26 years old and I am very worried. I have had swollen lymph nodes (or glands) behind my right ear, in my neck, and in my groin for the last 3 to 4 months. I also keep getting Candida or what looks like thrush on my tongue that is reoccurring. I have had oral sex from prostitutes in the past (that I dont do anymore) mostly protected but a couple times unprotected. I also had sex with a prostitute once and the condom broke, I immedietly pulled out and put a new condom on, that was about 5 months ago.Also, right around the time my lymph nodes swelled up I got pink eye, and a girl I was dating got it also but she got it a couple days later and she did not see me during that time. I was tested for HIV about 3 and a half weeks ago and it was negative. I am still very frightened about possibly having an HIV infection, even though the doctors tell me I dont. I am having surgery for a hydracele in my right testicle next week that I have had for years and is starting to become painful.and I just started dating someone I am very interested in, What should I do? Can I have sex? Do I maybe have Lymphoma, I need help.please.

Hi Dear, Welcome to Chat Doctor, As per your query you have swollen lymph nodes in the neck. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query that problem related to wisdom tooth in case if you have an erupting or impacted wisdom tooth and gum flap over the tooth is inflamed leading to swelling and in the area as well as swollen lymph nodes. You should consult an Oral surgeon and get evaluated and an X-ray can help in confirming the cause. The symptoms can also occur due to tonsillitis due to upper respiratory track infection or lymphadenopathy. Consult ENT specialist for this. Doctor may prescribe antibiotics along with anti-inflammatory or recommend tonsillectomy. Hope your concern has been resolved. Get Well Soon. Best Wishes,

Hello, Thanks for posting, When you experience pelvic pain/lower abdominal pain associated more or less to lower back pain it is usually as a result of an affection at the level of your pelvis or kidneys/UT. Now first, since you have missed period, take a pregnancy test, and if positive consult a knobs, so he can run a pelvic scan to determine if any abnormal pregnancy. Some series of tests include screening for PID (which is very likely given the presentation) and also urine tests + more or less of some blood tests could determine the cause of your problem and henceforth an appropriate treatment can be established. Hope this helps Chat Doctor.

hi doctor, i am from delhi, india, my son who is 11 years old was chased by a stray dog yesterday and clawed, though there is no blood marks on the spot but he has got redness in the area which is very minimal. Please let me know if we need anti rabies vaccination for this, please note again he was not bitten but clawed.

Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor, Dogs are known reservoir of rabies virus and can transmit to human beings by biting. Rabies is 100% fatal, but it is 100% preventable by proper and adequate treatment. As there was no bleeding from the bite site, according WHO categorization it is categorized into Cat II. So cat II bite should receive following treatment.1. Wash the wound thoroughly with soap and water.2. Active immunization with anti rabies vaccine on days 0,3,7,14 and 28.3. Inj TT, 0.5 ml, IM4. A course of Antibiotics like Tab Augmenting, twice daily for 5 days. Thank you.

Lower abdomen pain that travels laterally across the abdomen and becomes sharp if I have been sitting for an extended period of thime and then stand up. A trainer thought it might be the psoas? muscle. But it has been a while and it does not seem to be getting any better.

Hi. Thanks for your query. Read your history and understood your problem. You have got a lower abdominal pain that travels across the abdomen and becomes sharp on standing up after sitting for a long time. Thinking of Sons muscle. Yes, this is a possibility and a clinical examination of a Sons test will confirm or rule out the diagnosis. If the test is positive, you have to undergo MRI scan for the Spine as the Sons muscle comes from it and its affection in any way causes such a pain. Another possibilities are

Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your situation and problem. Phenytoin is having Chat Doctor. So both will interact with each other and decrease their therapeutic levels. And hence desired anti-epileptic and anti coagulant effect can not be achieved. So possibility of seizure attack and recurrence of Pulmonary embolism is high. So in my opinion, you should continue warfarin. Better to start newer anti-epileptic

i had a gi bleed last friday, i still have stomach pains an little energy why could this be? i was bringing up blood after drinking quit a bit of wine at a family party last friday, i was taken to hospital by ambulance an was put on a drip they allowed me home after a blood test . my stomach is still very tender an i have very little energy why could this be?
|
Most common cause of upper GI bleed is peptic ulcer followed by varices. Also u have history of alcohol use and still tenderness is the in your stomach. All these giving clue towards peptic ulcer. But you have to rule out other causes also. So better, go for an upper GI flexible endoscopy after the consultation of a gastroenterologist. Simultaneously avoid alcohol, avoid spicy and oily foods take food in time. Frequent small meals and good amount of water

Hi, It looks like you are infected by Tina courts, it commonly occurs in the moist warn areas of the body.1. Keep your genital area clean & Chat Doctor. It is a fungal infection & antifungals can effectively control the spread & clear in up. You can take a course of Fluconazole orally. You can apply antifungal creams, sprays & ointments locally for relieve.2. Do not share your toiletries or clothes with anyone. Take showers at least twice every day. 3. Sexual contact or skin to skin contact can spread the jock itch(Tina courts) from the groin area to any part of the body & cause the spread of infection. However, since you are sexually active get physically examined & get STI tests done to rule out genital herpes. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

I have been diagnosed with a cyst on my brain, the dr. said he didn t think it was cancerous. For six years now i have had headaches, I wear bifocals now, my hearing is not that great, i stay tired, i have memory and thinking problems, i sometimes have speech problems along with left side drawing in my face and arm. At times my sexual desires are very high for me, my emotions are all over sometimes with alot of pressure in my head. I have been getting sharp pains with instant vomiting. i fall to sleep easy. I didn t ask any questions because all i was interested in was none cancerous. should a cyst be giving me all these symptoms?
|
Hi, Thanks for writing in. A cyst in the brain, present for more than 6 years is a stable lesion. However, it is important to know the location of the cystic lesion to know the exact implications and to confirm if your symptoms are due the cyst or there is any other condition that is responsible for vomiting. As you report emotional changes and sexual desires being part of your complaints, it is important to know if there is any anxiety related stress or a similar condition largely causing the symptoms. Please detail us about the location and size of the cyst in your Bain and any recent enlargement is size. Cysts in the posterior fossa and causing pressure effects on the brain stem including pons and medulla can lead to vomiting.

For the last week I m itching like crazy in my knee pits, on the bony parts of my hips, and my upper butt cheeks. There is no rash or bites. Best I can figure is some kind of allergy , but why only in those spots? It started around the time I ate raddiccio. I m not allergic to anything else from the lettuce family, so that would be strange to be allergic, but possible I guess.

Hello, Cruciferous (lettuce) vegetables such as cauliflower, radicchio can have high levels of salicylate that can explain the itchy hives that you are having. However, this is usually a secondary trigger for people with idiopathic urticaria (medical term for red, itchy hives that can feel swollen under the skin) and is occasionally generalized (i.e., whole body may be involved in hives). I would not suggest going on a strict low salicylate diet as it is a very difficult diet, but you might want to stop radicchio in your diet and start taking either cetirizine 10\u00a0mg (max twice daily) or Allegra 180\u00a0mg for the next 2-3 weeks until all the hives have cleared up. Sometimes the treatment needs to be continued for 3 months so check with your doctor on the right antihistamines. If you do not high levels of salicylate sensitivity (i.e., can tolerate other foods high in salicylates) then do NOT go on a strict low salicylate diet. Sometimes in people with salicylate sensitivity, one may be able to tolerate some foods but not others in the high salicylate list which may be the same with you.

Thanks for posting your query to Chat Doctor. Your symptoms are suggestive of Pyrex of unknown origin. There are so many causes of such kind of fever. I want to know some other point; Is fever associated either with cough, cold, running nose, pain in abdomen, loss of appetite, burning during urination, increased frequency of urine, or any other symptoms fever continuous or intermittent What is maximum temperature during episode of fever Did you lose weight during past few months. Is there any history of tuberculosis. Family history of tuberculosis. What was your complete blood count report If you have blood culture examination. Reply me with above query so that we can make a diagnosis and treat accordingly. As you have already taken medication so not start any treatment without diagnosed the condition.however you can take antipyretic like Paracetamol 750\u00a0mg as and when required if not sensitive to Chat Doctor. Thanks.

Ihave been having these symptoms for almost a year. I get tightness in my upper chest and sometimes my neck. Every two or threes months I will have a near syncopal epsiode. Sometimes associated with a short quick walk or slow stride up a filght of stairs. I get very dizzy, sometimes tunnel vision. I usually have to set down or put my head between my legs. This is accompianied by a feeling of SOB. Although I feel like I am exchanging air at the time. The new symptom is the feeling of my heart skipping a beat. This has happen the last couple of days. I have a high family history of heart and stroke disease. I have been taking Vitoran for almost three years for high colestoral, It is now under 175 with a ratio of 3 to 5. When the symptoms started I had an EKG, stress test and stress echo. These have all been normal. I even had a heart cath, which showed a 30% narrowing of my anterior desending coronary artery and a couple of lesser narrowings in two other vessels. I take paxil (20mg) a day for depression. I have taken this for over 10 years. My job is often stressfull, but I am an even keeled non flustered individual. Everytime I go to the doctor things check out normal. I am beginning to fill like I m going crazy and am becomming increasings concerned.

I understand your symptoms have been troubling you now and then, but we need to know the age, what brings the relief and what your habits are. Usually your pattern symptoms arise due to heart or/and lungs being diseased, but you have reports of normalcy in EKG and Stress tests with good perfusion of heart at the beginning. If you have been taking the cholesterol lowering agents only recently and a smoker and alcoholic and not had any blood pressure monitoring in the past and BMI is around 28, it will be good to reassess heart function along with ruling cholesterol rise noted due to metabolic reasons as well. This time hence see an experienced Endocrinology as well. Hope you will have complete answer for your problem

I have had a small lump on my neck for about 3 years, its smooth and I am able to move it when I move the skin on my neck. My PCP told me a year ago not to worry about it unless it becomes bothersome. Yesterday I woke up and the lump is tender and a little bit larger, could this be a sebaceous cyst?
|
Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You may have enlarged lymph node. It can be due to reactive hyperplasia, tuberculosis, lymphoma or metastatic carcinoma. Or you may have sebaceous cyst or some benign cyst or soft tissue tumor. You should go for fine needle aspiration cytology or 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 any doubts then contact me at bit.ly/ Chat Doctor. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Wish you a very good health.

since june 28 i am suffering from head realing.all of a sudden head is realing.age 63,suffering from diabetic.I took few Tablets of pine bark extract pills for two three days before 28 th June 2014 and if this may be the reason to induce head reeling.
|
The commonest reasons for a 63-year-old to develop such symptoms would be due to an inner ear mechanical problem triggered by certain positions adapted by the head while getting up from a lying or sitting position or on looking down, this could be evaluated and treated by an ENT(Ear, nose and throat) specialist. The next likely cause could be due to cervical spondylosis which is a degenerative age related change in the cervical spine(neck spine), this could be ad Chat Doctor. The treating physical therapist would want a radiological imaging like a X-ray prior to beginning treatment. Pine bark extract pills are not known to be a precursor for such symptoms however It's very difficult to comment on such products which do not have a complete scientific analysis behind its usage/ efficacy /side effects.

I think I might have a yeast infection but I am not sure. I get a lot of yeast that I remove with q tips that can be itchy a little bit and kind of uncomfortable. It also burns a little bit. Today the yeast had a greenish look to it and smelled like rotten eggs. I dont know what to do or what is wrong with me
|
Thanks for your query at Chat Doctor! I went through your query! You need set of investigations to come to diagnosis whether it is candida infection or Trichomoniasis(more likely). You might need treatment accordingly antifungal or antiparasitic. Kindly tell me symptoms in detail? Which part is involved? Duration? Previous medications? Are you female pregnant? Diabetic? Happy to take more queries! You can also write a review for me. If you would like some more information, I will be happy to provide. Take care!

im 36 years female. this month i had been diagnosed with viral hepatitis ( jaundice ) and reports are now normal but there is tremendous weakness and dizziness . two years back i was detected with vertigo . vertin 8mg twice a day was recommended and this week similar things are reocurring. the left arm specially feelings the pain more. constant there is some dizziness and again things get normal but due to this i have not been able to go to work. pls. guide. should i continue with vertin 8mg twice along with exercises? or there is some other reason. i feel depressed and lonely too and fear of job engulfs me and mornings are really bad and i m unable to go to work. im really tensed
|
Hi welcome to Chat Doctor forum. Thanks for writing to Chat Doctor. F. As you describe you had viral hepatitis, followed by weakness and dizziness. 2 years back you had vertigo and treated with vermin 8 mg. Twice daily. You are feeling depressed, and tense. After Infection and treatment for infectivehepatitis there will be weakness due to gastric irritation, if you get treated for that you will be fine so I advise you to consult a gastroenterologist for diagnosis and treatment. The reason of vertigo could be of central origin as before, so you can use vermin as well till you get relief of the symptoms. Wishing for a quick recovery, Best regards.

I ATE A PERSIMMON FOR THE FIRST TIME A WEEK AGO. iT WAS LIKE I HAD THRUSH THE ENTIRE INSIDE OF MY MOUTH PEELED DOWN TO BARE SKIN. MY TOUNGUE, RIDGES ON THE TOP AND BOTTOM GUMS AND BETWEEN MY GUMS AND CHEEKS ARE STILL RAW. MY HUSBAND SAID A WEEK AGO I HAD WHITE ON MY TONGUE. COULD I HAVE GOTTEN THRUSH FROM THE PERSIMMON EVEN THOUGH I RINSED IT GOOD? SHOULD I GO TO THE DR?
|
Hi. Thanks for the query. It looks more like that you have git an allergic reaction leading to peeling of the mucosa inside mouth and along with it there is raw feeling due to severe inflammation. It does not look to me like Oral Thrush, however a clinical examination is a must to rule out the exact cause. If there is a white coating over tongue then it can be probably thrush and a microscopy of the scrapings from tongue can help in confirmation. If the symptoms are very severe you can consult an Oral Physician or ab Emergency room and get evaluated. A steroid shot and a steroid mouth rinse can help in reducing inflammation and pain. You can also suck ice pops or do cold water rinses. You can gargle with specialized mouthwash like Magic Mouthwash. Avoid spicy, acidic and citrus foods. Take vitamin B complex supplements. Hope this helps. Regards.

Ive just got my e-ray reports & its stated
|
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Normally on chest x-ray bronchus is normal seen because it contains air and an iris radiolucent. This is the reason why chest x-ray appears black. Bronchus is having its own blood supply. And blood is radio-opaque and can be seen on x-ray. So any pathology where wall of bronchus is inflamed, edematous or blood supply in the vessels is increased than they (bronchovascular) are prominent and visible on chest x-ray. Common causes for prominent bronchovascular markings (BVM) are viral infection, bronchitis, in normal individual when x-ray is taken in expiratory phase, smokers etc. Since you are asymptomatic, possibility of bronchitis or viral infection is very less. And hence you declared fit despite prominent BVM because this can be seen in normal individual also. Hope I have solved your query. Wish you good health. Thanks.

I have a swollen vein under the left side of my jaw aligned under my last tooth and it hurts considerably when touched or touched around it, it also hurts a little when i open my mouth wide. I have touched the opposite vein on my right side of my jaw and it doesnt feel swollen nor it hurts. Ive had this problem for as long as I can remember.
|
Hello, Welcome Thanks for consulting Chat Doctor, I have gone through your query, as you have said that you have swelling on last tooth area don't worry it cane due to impacted last molar, or it can be due to swelling in gums due to periodontal problem, So you should consult dentist and get investigations done and if necessary OPG done and go for proper treatment. Do warm saline gargle two - three times a day you will get relief Hope this will help you.

Hi I am using Formonide 400 inhaler.. I heard that once I start this i wont be able to stop . Is it correct?My uncle started with Asthalin and now he is using formonide.. For me my doctor gave me formonide for breathing difficulty coz of high allergy
|
Hi welcome to ChatDoctorit is not correct that once you start inhaler you won't be able to stop the main idea of prescribing inhaled medications is - low dose medications could be used when compared to oral medication which have many side effects though the later are cheaper, and secondly the site of action of medications will be in lung itself regarding your query your uncle might be initially having intermittent asthma later on when it got converted to persistent asthma he might have been prescribed on phoronid. Regarding your case your doctor might step down your therapy from phoronid based on your response to therapy and your symptoms hope you got your answer with warm regards Chat Doctor.

yes i am having problems with my balance i feel like i am floating and sometimes swaying back and forth i am having alot of twitching over my body and a tingling sensation in my hands,feet and problems with my lower back and the back of my neck can you tell me what is going on with me i am scheduled for an mri next week have jus been really scared
|
Hello, Well, your symptoms unfortunately don't coalesce as described into a single entity but if there was more information as to your age, other health conditions you may already have been diagnosed with, medications you are taking, etc. and whether you've been THOROUGHLY examined by a doctor would help me better put your symptoms in line. However, would first want to get a good history on how quickly these symptoms came on and if there's been any let-up. Next, a physical examination to include blood pressure and then, laboratory testing to make sure you're not suffering from thyroid issues, diabetes, or chemical imbalances of some sort (B12, vitamin D, folate, electrolyte deficiencies). If an MRI is being scheduled I'm thinking that they are trying to be sure that you do not have any types of tumors, aneurysms, or even congenital intracranial anomalies which by your symptoms doesn't seem to be the case. Worry and anxiousness can also trigger these sorts of symptoms especially the tingling and floating sensations you mention. Is there anything of a stressful nature in your life right now that you'd rather be WITHOUT because often times if you can identify such a thing or things, get rid of them (legally! HA!) these symptoms get a lot better? Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Chat Doctor.

my son has a small white circular mark on his leg with bruising around it...we just noticed it but he did have a fever 2 days ago..it seems to be sore to the touch ...my son is handicapped and cannot tell us how it happen .. should he be seen by a dr.
|
Hi, welcome to Chat Doctor! It appears primarily that your son is suffering from a fungal skin infection. He needs to take an antifungal oral tablet and apply antifungal cream locally. If itching is present, he might also need an anti-histaminic like cetirizine to get relief.I'd suggest you to visit a dermatologist to confirm the diagnosis after examining it. Fungal infections commonly occur due to poor hygiene and poor immunity. Hope this information helps. Feel free to ask if you have any doubts. With warm regards,

My father 58 years old has under gone a kidney stone removal procedure by endoscopy method and a stunt was placed. Since then he is having WBC count between 25300-15000 and hemoglobin levels of 9-10.3. along with this ,his urine report says it contains pus cells 10-15 and traces of WBC and proteins. His urine culture is negative. He is suffering from frequent high fever, cold and severe uneasiness. write now using ciprofloxacin drug for this. He is having high BP with cardio myopathy (since 17 yaers),Diabatis and chronic pancreatetisis.How to over come recent issues please suggest.
|
Helots is Chat Doctor. Thank you for asking question. A high white blood cell count suggests an acute infection. I would also like to know the percentage of neutrophils and some other cells to have a better idea about the acute or chronic nature of infection. Anyhow, high WBC count suggests that there is an ongoing infection inside your fathers body. Having pus cells in urine, suggest there is urinary tract infection and usually the first

Am I pregnant? I am currently 2 weeks late on my period, I done a test when I was 2days late but have been told it has been too soon, I have been feeling very run down the last few days and tonight we had unprotected sex again and he came inside me, does this higher my chances of getting pregnant? Or am I pregnant?
|
Hi I think you should do a urine pregnancy test again. It will confirm whether you are pregnant or not. Overdue of 2 weeks may be a sign of pregnancy. Repeat intercourse can increase the chance of pregnancy if you are not pregnant because sometimes ovulation is delayed and thus periods get delayed. So do a pregnancy test and if you don't want a baby consult a doctor. If test is negative then go for an ultrasound, and you can take medicines for inducing periods after consultation with a doctor.

Hei I am trying to conceive been off pill since last September I have irregular cycles anything between 29 and 48 days cycle. I purchased clearblue digital ovulation tests. My last period was 1 may u tested in day 12 and 13 were negative day 14 was positive I also had egg like mucus with bit brown since then I had brown mucus when wiped that lasted for 5 days with light cramping. I am still having flashing smiley faces in digital test but havent had steady smile face yet which shows peak fertility any advice would be great in so confused!
|
Hi, Thanks for the query. As your cycles are somewhat irregular there is possibility of hormonal imbalance. So possibly because of that your ovulation kit is not giving proper result.Anyhow you better have intercourse during the periods when you have positive teat and mucus discharge. Then you wait for your expected date of periods. If you miss the period go for pregnancy test once. If you get the periods, in the next cycle you consult gynecologist and go for follicular study to track the ovulation. For more details you can ask me through

Hi, I m a Hungarian 34 year old girl, and I have panic syndrome. Now I serve 5 mg of Cipralex per day. My question is if I will pregnant can be collected the medicine with safety. Thanks for your answer, Brigi
|
Hicipralex contain Escitalopram it has been assigned to pregnancy category C by the FDA. Escitalopram is the S-enantiomer of race mic citalopram. Human spontaneous abortion has been reported by the manufacturer of citalopram. Animal studies have revealed evidence of adverse effects on embryo/fetal and postnatal development, including teratogenic effects, when administered at doses greater than human therapeutic doses. There are no controlled data in human pregnancy. Escitalopram should be given during pregnancy only if the potential benefit outweighs the potential risk to the fetus. Better to take advise of your gynecologist before planning pregnancy

I am worried its some type of disease but unknown at this time. What might it be?
|
Hi Dear, Welcome to Chat Doctor. Understanding your concern. As per your query you have internal soreness in leg and upper body. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like nerve compression, diabetes, neuropathy or multiple Sclerosis. I would suggest you to do light stretching exercises along with gentle message, apply warm compresses on entire leg or keep your legs in hot water tub with Epsom salt in it and take ibuprofen or acetaminophen for pain and inflammation. If condition doesn't get well then consult orthopedic surgeon for proper examination. Doctor may order blood test or RH factor, CT scan or MRI along with physical examination to confirm the diagnosis. Doctor may prescribe methotrexate, anti-inflammatory, gabapentin long with nerve supplement and recommend physical therapy. Also do light exercises like yoga and light walk. Hope your concern has been resolved. Get Well Soon. Best Wishes,

Is there any solution to turn my lip red beside using the rose leaves and glycerin?
|
Hi; Different people have different types of color of lips. The color can change due to smoking ;or in few diseases. The reversal occurs in smoking & color can revert to normal after quitting. Now there is no specific medicine to change color of a persons lips, so you have to bear with it. At the most & best is to apply lipstick of the color you like. Till then continue glycerine & rose leaves. Thanks

Will taking Cirpofloxacin for the bladder infection i have also help with the toothache i have? I will probably have to get the tooth removed after the weekend, already have had a root canal and one root actually removed on this molar. At least the molar lasted 3 more years. i am feeling pressure under that tooth. Want to make it thru the weekend and wondered if this cipro is going to help. I just happened to get these two unfortunate conditions at the same time and was given the cipro from dr. for bladder infection.
|
Hello there, Thanks for writing your query, Ciprofloxacin is a good antibiotic and can be used for dental infections as well in combination with analgesics to relive the pain and prevent infection. Since your tooth was root canal treated and has gone worse over a period of time with loss of one root, its better you get the tooth extracted consulting an oral surgeon. After extraction antibiotic and analgesic coverage is must prevent infection of the extraction site and to promote healing. Follow all the post extraction instructions and rinse the mouth with lukewarm saline or antiseptic mouth rinse. I hope this helps, take care.

Hi, about a week ago (after a workout) i have begun to have quite bad sensitivity issues to the right (as I see it) of my stomach and my back. It feels like a constant feeling of sunburn however there are no marks, redness, signs of any trauma etc. I have had no loss of appetite and everything else seems to be working fine - i am planning to visit the GP but any advice on this would be really useful. Thanks on advance.

Hi, Thanks for your query, an elucidated history. The most probable cause of such symptoms of bad sensitivity to the right of your stomach and back can be due to

I have oral lichen planus. Started having problem more than 4 yrs. ago. Have taken Dexamethasone rinse (causes weight gain); Hydroxychloroquine, Gabapentin. The outbreak seems to run its course without much response to medication. Currrent outbreak has been going on since before July 4th. Taking Hydroxychloroquine without significant improvement. Is there a cure?
|
Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor, If you have no pain or discomfort and if only white lesions are present, you may not need any treatment. I would suggest you to apply the steroid cream on the lesion twice daily for at least 15-20 days, you can appreciate the improvement. Topical medication is the best choice since it doesn't cause many adverse effects. Other treatment modalities includes intraluminal injection of steroids, mouth rinses containing steroids or systemic steroids. I advise taking topical only because it won't disturb the systemic status of your body. Thank you.

I just fell down some stairs and hit my head in the back and did something to my back. It hurts really bad about mid back on my right side. It also is sore on the back of my neck and down my spine. Should I go to the emergency room or just wait and see if it gets better?
|
Hello, Usually, post fall it is advised to take an x-ray to check out for any hairline fracture. If no feature than there it's a good sign as it will be only a muscle injury. But an x-ray is advised for safety purpose. As there is pain after the fall I will advise to take an x-ray, do hot water fermentation and provide rest to the muscles to heal. Once pain levels come down do simple exercises and breathing exercises to regain the muscle strength and improve the muscle property. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Jay In Chat Doctor.

My wife is diabetic. While on vacation she developed cough, sore throat accompanied by fever and headache. We bought Decolgen Forte. Now the fever & sore throat is gone. But she has cough and weakness. Can this be due to Decolgen Forte? She has no taste in her mouth and no apetite.
|
HI, thanks for using Chat Doctor The decline forte is a cough mixture with an antihistamine, decongestant and paracetamol. The cough, loss of appetite and weakness would be as a result of her upper respiratory tract infection which is usually viral not due to the medication. She may want to use a cough suppressant to help reduce the coughing. When the infection resolves her appetite and energy level would improve. I hope this helps

Hi there, for about the last 2 or 3 years I ve been getting these kind of almost black out experiences where when I stood up I would get a bit dizzy and through my eyes everything would look a bit darker but it would shake off in a few seconds. Today After laying down I stood up, walked a few steps then suddenly everything was black for about 4-5 seconds which felt like forever. I also got a tingly sensation in my left arm. I m a 14 year old male and i haven t seen much on this online. I don t really know what s going on. Any help would be much appreciated!Thanks, Aidan
|
Hi, Thanks for writing in. The main blood vessels supplying the back of the head passes through between the small bones of the neck. The nerves supplying the arms also originate at the cervical portion of spinal cord in the neck region. These pass through small foramen in the cervical spine and then reach the arm. Sudden compression of the blood supply causes blackout and pinching of the nerve at its origin or anywhere along its route can cause numbness, tingling sensation as described by you. Since it is happening for last 2 or 3 years then you need to consult a neurologist and get examined in detail. Another possibility is a partial complex seizure and this requires complete clinical examination, electroencephalography and imaging scans.

hii dr.shehzad my mom is hypertensive and diabetic with her fbs-110 mg/dl n ppbs - 146 mg/dl a week ago .. some times she complaints of head n neck pain her bp 3 days back was 140/90 with enalapril 5mg n shez on metformin 1gm twice before break fast n before dinner.. she some times skips the night antidiabetic tab .. so please suggest on her head ache n neck pain wat is the ideal antihypertensive for her?
|
Hi Thanks for writing to Chat Doctor. She is doing good on her glycemic controls as it seems, apparently. She her HbA1c done. Moreover, her BP is 140/90 is acceptable. Headache and neck might be of some other origin. There are chances of having cervical spondylitis. A neck X-ray would clinch the diagnosis. Paracetamol 500 tablet might help her in between. You can also apply diclofenac/feline gel locally. Hope this has helped with your query. You can write back to me if you need any further assistance.

Hi Thanks for your query, PCs is commonly associated with irregular menstruation and infertility due to ovulation problem. Ova far is given for induction of ovulation for usually 5 days starting from the day 2 and not for regulation of cycle. Unfasten is a progesterone. Progesterone is given for luteal phase support for progesterone deficiency in the second half of the cycle. It helps in sustaining the pregnancy after it occurs. Hope it helps you, Take care.

I am over weight, very sore joints, I ve been told I have fibromyalgia, my muscles are weak, I have a bad back which restricts some types of exercise, I m female and 57.

I am a happy person but I want to feel better and lose weight
|
Hello, Fibromyalgia treatment involves multimodal strategy which includes physical therapy for the trigger points, medications like gabapentin with methyl complain and vitamin D3. In addition to this, holistic approaches like yoga and meditation are of most help. I would suggest you to start with meditation and Physiotherapy. Get your Vitamin B12 and Vitamin D3 checked, and if low, get them corrected with medications. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Hello, Your symptoms could be related to arthritis or any other metabolic disorder. For this reason, I would recommend consulting with your attending physician for a physical exam and some tests

Hi,I am 27 years old woman i have been trying to conceive for last 1 and half years .I have normal hormone levels (FSH,Prolactin ) , my thyroid profile is also normal , abdomen pelvis scan & sugar level is also normal , HSG tube patency is also normal . But my AMH level is low (1.92Ng/ml) in low fertility frame and i am overweight 65 kg height 5 feet .My doc said scan didnt show signs of PCOS , still i couldnt conceive . My husband semen report is normal and good .I did follicular study 4 times and 2 IUI everything failed .I dont know how to solve this problem what step can i take ? PLz help
|
HelloThanks for your query. As your hormones are not suggestive of POD, do not worry. A low AMH level indicates premature ovarian aging. This could be age related, and in some women, the capacity of the ovaries to produce mature eggs declines with time and age. As follicular study and GUI has failed twice, please strongly consider IVF. Reduce your stress levels, and try and maintain an ideal weight and BMI. A laparoscopy should be done, as HSG is not conclusive to test fallopian tube patency. All the best. Take care.
