Why do I run out of breath real quick? Iquit smoking 17 months ago. I smoked about two packs a day fo about twelve years. My daddy is 51 years old and has smoked all of his life,and he dont run out of breath like i do. I give out of breath by walking 100 feet.
|
Hi welcome to Chat Doctor.... See effect of smoking is not same on every person... Genetic, environment and many other factors will affect it.... As in your case by smoking release of elastane can be there and lung tissue might be damaged by it.... Here restrictive lung disease like pulmonary fibrosis lung disease ruled out by x-ray and PFT... Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease like bronchitis or emphysema could be there. So rule out by x-ray and PFT.... You might have given bronchodilator therapy. Treatment given according to cause. So consult physician without delay with keeping my answer in mind.... Take care. Chat Doctor.

Hi am just asking on behalf of my father he had a serious life threathing accident and ended up in intensive care for a number of weeks. He has been having blood checked and recently his PSA level has been raised, he is now also experiencing diarrhea after meals whta could this be?
|
Hi, thanks for sharing your fathers' health concerns with Chat Doctor! Well, PSA, when high with diarrhea might suggest some serious condition like prostate cancer or severe prostatitis, especially if there is urinary retention also! A THUS is necessary for confirmation. 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 your father good health.

right varicocele pain for more than 3 years, can surgery be delay? hi im 22 years old, im suffering for right varicocele for more than 3 years, it has mid pain but it is tolerable
|
Hello there mate! Varicocele is 15-20% men problem of which only 40 percent has infertility problem. Varicocele is associated with impaired semen quality. Why don't you do a semen analysis to see where you stand. Its 80 to 90 % left testicle in your case its right, bit atypical presentation. Which grade your varicocele is? You did not mention but as you advised surgery it must be grade three. If its just visible on inspection, if occurs with bearing down or Valhalla maneuver then it's small, if palpable without bearing down than moderate. So you see for yourself where do you stand. Now you said delay, well it can be delayed if indications for surgery are not met and symptomatic treatment is helping you. If testicular volume is less than 20 ml and length remember not all varicocele lead to infertility. 10 to 15 % of fertile people have it. Plus if you early treat it is will prevent infertility plus you are 22 only I believe if you operate now you won't lose your fertility.so if you have pain in testicle, size and volume I mentioned, and your semen analysis comes abnormal I am afraid you would have to go for the repair instead of delaying it. Some authorities correlate right sided varicocele with abdominal retroperitoneal pathologies so I would recommend abdominal U/s and CT with scrotal Doppler sonography(high resolution color flow) to be on the safer road too.let's discuss some surgical options. There are 3 approaches. 1.through groin2.through abdomen3.below groin there are interventional radiological approaches too with minimal invasion. Providing the expertise are there. So in nut shell if you fit the criteria for surgery as I mentioned you should have a surgery because it will involve your left one too if left unsure, and it will progress. Its outcome will be good.rest correlating your condition clinically with the situation is the best option and the surgeon whose hand and eyes are on your testicles can decide better, from here I can advise sincerely only with the provided facts which will never be enougChatDoctorpared to one confrontation of patient and doctor. Any ways I will be here to help if you need regards Chat Doctor.

I am a 65 yo female living in Jacksonville, NC, USA. I had a grandmother on my mothers side, and an uncle on my fathers side, die from pancreatic cancer.I have high enzyme readings of amalyse (wrong spelling) for many years and at other times it is in the normal range. I have gone to a endocrinologist who did a mri about 5 years ago on my pancreausand they said it was normal and couldnt find any thing wrong. The Dr. said that I could be just one of those people who have this unknown etiology and dont know what causes it. Diabetes is very prevalent on my mothers side her mother as well as her sister and brother died from it, altho my mother who is 87 and my father did not have it nor do any of my sisters or brothers as of yet have it., My question is
|
Greetings. First you should not be worried due to an isolated high amylase level. There can be several causes of raised serum amylase like gall stone disease salivary gland duct stones intestinal infections, inflammations diabetes(uncontrolled)small cystic lesions of pancreatic biliary region benign conditions. However, high amylase level are not associated with pancreatic cancer. You may have little higher chance of developing pancreatic cancer as you have positive family history for that. Symptoms of pancreatic cancer are pain in abdomen, or development of jaundice. These may or may not indicate pancreatic cancer and should not cause undue worry. You should be in regular surveillance with your doctor. Regards

I fell down my basement step. Went up and then down and landed on the edge of steps. I struck both elbow and my buttocks/ hip. I have a genetic blood clotting disorder. MMTH. This happened 4 days ago it is still swollen but no discoloration yet. How long before I need to see my doctor about any possible complications. I have had previous DVT and several strokes.
|
Hello dear, Thank you for your contact to Chat Doctor. I read and understand your concern. I am Chat Doctor answering your concern. No, you should immediately contact your doctor. As you have previous history of the DVT and stroke. This time also it is like that thrombus has formed in the vessels which can release to cause the stroke. If you visit the doctor and start taking the treatment of anticoagulant immediately than you are free from the complication before it can occur. Please start mild exercise as it can improve the circulation and prevents the clot formation. I will be happy to answer your further concern on bit.ly/ Chat Doctor. Thank you, ChatDoctorInfectious diseases specialist, ChatDoctor.

hi, ive been eating blackboard chalks for the past eight months now and i doubt if its going to cause any serious issues regarding my kidneys n stuff. Im already seeing that by eating chalk, my teeth are slowly grinding. Whatls wrong with me n how do i get rid of eating chalk. Im 30, skinny my bust is almost vanished, tubal ligated mother of 3 kids
|
Hi, Eating chalk for past 8 months is an odd eating behavior that needs both physical and psychological evaluation. Many causes like iron deficiency anemia, malnutrition, obsessive compulsive disorder etc. has to be ruled out that may be the cause of this behavior. Toxicity of substances contained in chalk has to be ruled out. It is advisable to visit your doctor at the earliest. Hope this helps, Chat Doctor.

I have selling of both ankles and feet and as well both legs ache. I do have some diagnosed bulging discs in my cervical spine at C5 and C6. Could this all be related or are the leg aches and feet swelling different. I have had blood work and the only thing it has show is higher than average levels of inflammation.
|
Hello, Thank you for using Chat Doctor. I read your question and understood your concern. I do not think that you ankle problem is related with the cervical spine bulging discs. I think this is more of an inflammation, so I would recommend you to see a rheumatology specialist to give you proper medication with anti-inflammatory Chat Doctor. Also, thyroid problems might give swelling of ankle and feet, so you should check the thyroid function with blood tests. I wish you quick recovery.

Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ? Please type your query here...i was tested for hep b and have a positive result of 12 U/L. I had my twinrex vaccinne, all 3 6 years ago. The test states that a value of 10 or greater is consistent with immunity. is this a problem?
|
Hi welcome to Chat Doctor... You have taken full dose of vaccine..... Your antibody title is more than 10 according to your history, so you are safe from hepatitis b infection.... Still your liver enzymes value slight elevated... So for that repeat liver enzymes study after few days along with bag detection to rule out bag positivity ...(chances of positivity less likely as you are immune)Also check your fresh antibody title report ... If title between 10 and 100 than booster dose given ... Take care. Advise

Hello , about 10 hours ago I started using Vimovo and Etoflam as prescribed by a GP for back pain, taken 2 tablets/applications so far . In the fast 4 hours I have quite severe pain in my scrotum where there is a large (16cm) epididymal cyst, is this pain connected to the new meds? i also take , warfarin , valsartan and bisop , the GP is aware of all my meds.Thanks Aidan
|
HelloThanks for query. Based on the facts that you have large 16 cm sized Epididymis Cyst in your scrotum the severe pain that you have since two days could be mostly due to either a) Sudden increase in size of the cyst b) Infection setting up in cyst It needs to be confirmed again by doing Ultrasound Scanning of scrotum.In the meanwhile start taking broad spectrum antibiotic like Cefuroxime along with anti-inflammatory Chat Doctor. Continue rest of the medications that you are taking for other illness. Further treatment will depend upon result of this test.

I have a hematoma as the result of surgery to remove my appendix.. The operation took place 3 weeks ago and although I was advised that it may dissipate naturally the swelling and hardness has barely reduced (akin to having part of a softball sticking out of my side).. I was quite heavily bruised all around the front and side waistband area following the surgery but this has greatly improved. However, the hematoma remains. I would be grateful if you could advise on possible next steps. Does it just require patience on my part?Many Thanks
|
Sometimes, because of continuous bleeding from small blood vessel, there will be hematoma after any surgery. As your surgery was 3 weeks ago, it should get subsided by now. Please go for an Ultrasound abdomen and see the nature of the swelling. If it contains fluid, it could be hematoma. Sometimes, after healing of the wound, there will be induration which will be hard. So, get it confirmed by ultrasound abdomen. IF hematoma is confirmed, please get it Chat Doctor. Wish you good healthRegards

I have a tiny little white bump & the skin connected to my lower lip & gum is a little red & looks like there could be a little cut by the little white bump. what can heal this? it s been about 4 days since this has been hurting & used warm water & salt like 3 times to see if that would help
|
Hi. Thanks for the query. I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns. As per your complaint it looks. Like a tiny bump along with redness is due to AUTHORS ULCER which is causing you the eruption of a painful lump on lower labial frenulum. It can be caused commonly due to causes like toothbrush trauma, eating something very hard, spicy and sour foods, burning with hot liquid or chemicals like mouthwash, some other forms of traumatic injury etc. For authors ulcer you can do warm saline garglesGargles with 1

I am currently taking amoxicillin for an infection in my wisdom tooth . I have been taking it regularly alongside ibuprofen for four days now. Last night I developed chills and a high fever, although it went down over the course of 6 hours with the help of some paracetomol. I still have body aches, a low fever and chills-- flu like symptoms. Is this normal?
|
Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor, Wisdom tooth is the last tooth to erupt in the oral cavity and often its eruption is associated with symptoms like pain and discomfort in eating, difficulty in opening mouth, swelling in the jaws, fever and chills. Wisdom teeth are often tilted in position and impacted in the bone, gums overlying the tooth is usually undergoing inflammation known as peritonitis which may lead to swelling and bleeding gums. I would suggest you to go for symptomatic treatment at home like gargling with lukewarm saline water or antiseptic mouthwash like chlorhexidine or Betadine. You start with antibiotic augmenting along with paracetamol and antic old tablets like levocetrizine to relieve the symptoms till you consult a dentist and get the tooth extracted surgically. I hope this helps, take care

Sir, my daughter is 4.5 yrs and she has problem of pollution allergy.so after consulting Dr I am giving her montair syrup and now rumilast for the last 1.5 yes.is it safe to use for such long? As I stop using the medicine she suffers from cold, cough and sneezing..plz help
|
Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor, Your child seems to be troubled with reactive airway disease and the medications prescribed are very much needed, and its unfortunate child needs it for so long. But it's not unsafe to use it for so long. Having said that, for your child to be so sensitive for so long there should be some trigger factor in your home or in the area that child is coming in contact with. You need to identify that and get it off from his life, then things should fall in place. Keep away from pollen, dust, smoke, cold etc. triggers. Wet mopping of home floor. Dusting and Chat Doctor. Take care. Wish your child a good health.

I am suffering from severe toothache from a broken tooth and suspect that the nerves are exposed. I have been putting some rum on to the site as well as taking Ibuprofen and now part of my bottom lip has gone numb but still having really bad pain. Please advise what to do as I wont be able to get into a Dentist until tomorrow hopefully. Many thanks
|
IIN regard to your query, you are very much aware that your toothache is because of broken tooth structure very good, and you will be highly appreciated if you visit your dentist rather than keeping rum on it. You might have had little relief by keeping rum due to the alcohol present in it, but it is very bad choice of treatment. Already you are on the analgesics better visit your nearby dentist as early as possible to avoid further complications. Hope this is helpful to you.

Hi, We are married and living together for the past 13 years. Am 43 years old and my wife is 37 years. We have been diagnosed with unexplained infertility . We have tried IUI (1 time), IVF (1 time) and ICSI (1 time). Wife conceived during ICSI treatment and pregnancy was terminated after 3 months. We are really worried. Kindly advise what are options do we have.
|
Hello, Unexplained infertility has no particular treatment strategy. Sometimes, natural conception occurs when everything else fails. Considering your couple age, I would ask you to see an expert infertility specialist and go for one of the ART procedures that are compliant with your situation. Please do not experiment with different techniques as each failure lessens the chances of future conception. Hope your query is clarified. Take care.

My doctor changed me from lisinopril to amlodipine 5mg because I had some protein spilling over into my kidneys,Itake bp meds, diovan,metoprolol,and a low dose aspirin. Will amlodipine interfere with my other meds. Is there something I can do to keep the protein from spilling into my kidneys. Is their a special diet I need to be on. Mae D.
|
HiT hanks for the query. Diovan is Alsatian which is one of the Chat Doctor. Losartan has similar action as divan and thus there is no role of using these 2 medications together.Thus, I agree with change of losartan. Of course, you need to discuss with your nephrologist about the possible causes of protein loss in urine, and he can suggest further appropriate measures including dietary modifications. Hope this helps Good luck.

Heavyiness in center of chest and extreme pressure? Ive had upper Gi series, xrays, blood tests, just about everything done on me to find whats wrong, the pressure is so bad I cry sometimes and its random and has been on going for a year, I dont smoke, I have a floppy tricusbid in my heart and take a beta blocker, sereqoeul for bipolar at night, and ativan for panic attacks.
|
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. By your history and description, possibility of stress and anxiety related HERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease) is more in your case. HERD is due to laxity of gastroesophageal sphincter. Because of this the acid of the stomach tends to come up in the esophagus and cause symptoms of chest pressure, tightness and heaviness. You are also having other psychiatric illnesses. So we should definitely treat them first. Only Chat Doctor. Counselling by psychiatrist is also beneficial along with

Hi, I have two questions. For a couple of years I have been finding white discharge coming from my butthole. I was wondering what this means, or if it means I have a parasitic infection. Also, for a few years Ive had this white crust/dry skin on the backs of my ears. I had eczema patches on my scalp when I was a kid, so I was wondering if it was that.
|
Dear friend,first thank you for your consultation. From my day to day clinical practice I believe that white discharge that are coming from your anus is of eczema origin. I sincerely believe that because you had eczema before, so there is every possibility that it was not completely cured. Anus, being a place where fecal matter comes in touch with skin has a tendency to host such chronic infection like eczema. So what you should go is to go to your dermatologist and take antibiotic for this .my best wishes for you. Thank you.

My 2 year old daughter woke up this morning with about 5 welt looking lines on her back, from her lower back going up her back. These then went away and I noticed a patch on her l shoulderblade. It was an oval about 10m across with the same red line outlining it and raised like a mosquito bite in the middle. It then expanded and there were mosquito bite looking bumps going from it up her neck. It has now moved to the tops of her arms and across the top of her back. I have not idea what it is and am a bit. Nervous. This week she has had a runnt tummy and vomited twice, I didn t stress about it because she is cyutting 2nd molars and was the same with her last 1... Please help, don t know what to do!

Hi, I had a bad stomach ache for a few days when I am hungry and after eating. My pain is on the left part and it remains pain for a half day. I had this kind of history many years ago , but just now it starts again when I am very hungry. Can you me give advice on this matter and what medicine I should take?

HI. Thanks for your query and an elucidated history. You have a classical history which says that the pain on the left side of abdomen increases on empty stomach or after eating. This relation with the food habits indicates the following reasons

Hi, I am prone to kidney stones, I have spongy kidneys and have had 3 surgical procedures to remove kidney stones by using yag laser, now they say I have uncountable stones once again and are suggesting another round of yag laser. The doctor that is doing the surgery (procedure) is a wonderful person and I do not fault what he is doing for me, but, I feel that there is more that could or should be done to cure me of this horrid problem. I have anywhere up to 100 stones lodged in each kidney at anytime. help please, this has been ongoing for more than 10 years.
|
HelloThanks for query. You have repeated episodes of recurrence of stones in kidney over a period of last 10 years. This is because of some metabolic disorder and needs to be investigated so that preventive measures can be taken to avoid recurrence of stone .1) Get stone analysis done to know the composition of stones2) Blood tests for serum Calcium and Phosphorus levels which constitute major component in stone3) Serum Uric acid levels .4) Urine routine and culture 1)Ensure to Chat Doctor. 5) Avoid getting UTI by taking prophylactic antibiotics as and when necessary.

My daughter who is severely mentally retarded has been taking ,25 milligrams of risperidone 2 times daily for impulse control. The nurse practicioner who treats her is now wanting to up that dosage to .5 milligrams 2 times daily. That seem to be a big jump in dosage and I am concerned with giving my ok on this. What is the dosage range for an adult?
|
Dear Bogdan,Thanks for using Chat Doctor. I read your query with keen interest and understand your concerns about high dose of risperidone. I like to assure you that your nurse practitioner is increasing the dose in recommended dose range only and there must be no reason for concern. The effective dose of risperidone is 0.5 to 16 mg per day and most individuals tolerate well till 8 mg per day. I understand that increasing dose to double of current medication is big high but one mg per day of dose is minimum effective dose for mode adults and only some individuals respond at 0.5 mg per day of risperidone. I hope this helps you. Feel free to write back to me if you have more questions. Thanks again.

i have pinkish brown patches on my neck and shoulders. ive had these patches for about 10 months now, they use to just away on their own, but their spreading and wont go away. i have taken off the necklace i use towear to see if that was the problem, but of course it wasnt, the patches have gotten worse and have become ichy at time, and burn when i stratch them, no bleeding or fluids come from the patches and my skin does not peel either. i feel like an lepord with these patches. can anyone please tell me whats going on??
|
Hi, It seems like a fungal infection, otherwise called Tina. You should try using topical antifungal ointment like Clotrimazole. It is available over the counter. You should apply it twice daily, in the morning and in the night. The treatment should be for a minimum of 6 weeks. They are known to recur. Therefore, application of the ointment should be continued for 2 weeks after the patch disappears. There are many other causes for this too like Isolated Vitiligo. It is ideal to meet a Dermatologist and confirm the cause for it. I hope this helps you. Get well soon. http

Hi, I do appreciate your concern for your cousin. From what you have mentioned, it seems that your cousin is having symptoms suggestive of a delusion of persecution. It is a condition in which a person starts feeling that people are trying to harm him. It is part of a psychotic condition and can be due to a primary psychotic condition like schizophrenia or may be secondary to depression. I would suggest that you seek a psychiatric evaluation of your cousin and initiate treatment. He will need treatment with anti-psychotics like olanzapine. An anti-depressant would also be required if he has an underlying depression. I do hope that you found the information helpful. Best wishes.

helloi m 29 week pregnant and i have a white discharge from my vagina. sometimes there is also some itching in my vagina. doctor had advised me to take clingen tablets for 3 nights.i just want to ask that is it safe for me. is there any sideffects of that medicine.thanksshazia
|
Hi there, I have gone through your question, and I think I have understood your concern. I will suggest you the best possible treatment options. First do not panic. Your treating doctor has rightly advised you about the use of vaginal tablets. Clinger vaginal tablets are safe for use in pregnancy, they act locally and do not have any side effects on baby or pregnancy. I will also suggest that you keep your private parts clean and Chat Doctor. Use Lactated vaginal wash alternate days at the time of bath. Capsule Vibrant DS once a day for ten days will be of help. Wish you a great health. May God bless you with a bundle of joy. I hope this answer helps you. Thanks

|
Degree understand your concerns went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. The description of your behavior and cognition is directed towards Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. The more you try to get away from it, the more it will trouble you. Enjoy the fantasies and enjoy the visions. The best method to treat OCD is to be engaged, creative and that helps you ignore obsessive behavior. Give it some time and just enjoy and slowly the problem vanish. Psychotherapy techniques should suit your requirement. If you require more of my help in this aspect, Please post a direct question to me in this URL. http

after a 50 km cycle I didn t eat and woke up during night with a blood sugar of 2.3 mmols . I was nauseated and weak . it raised to 14 mmols by eating a few dates and I was fine . I am not a diabetic . am I prone to diabetes ? I am thinking of going on a pilgrimage for 3 days which involves total fasting . is this a bad idea ?
|
With exercise and fasting your blood sugar Chat Doctor. This does not seem to totally normal. Possibly you are secreting more than normal sugar controlling hormone insulin which lead to low sugar and there is resistance to its action, so sugar went higher than normal after food. I feel you are having Prediabetes state called IT Impaired GlucoseTolerance which should be confirmed by GTT test. If so the diet, exercise and Metformin may help you. Lastly it is not good idea to go for 3 days fasting when you have Prediabetes. You may land up in low and subsequent high sugars

hi i am 27 years old and have been trying for get pregnancy past three month next month my marriage is going to one year and today is 11 day of my cycle and my follicular scan report is 6.5(2),6(1) right side and 9(1),,8.5(1)sf and 8.1 mm tl(endo) what does it mean?
|
Hi, thanks for writing. Assuming your periods to be regular, there is only one good follicle in the right ovary. Endometrial thickness is ok. Get follicular study repeated every alternate day till folliclevreaches 20\u00a0mm. This is the time ovulation occurs. Have intercourse during this time. If no good follicle, you can take ovulation induction Chat Doctor. . Hope I have answered your query. Good day.

Yesterday morning I had some dental work done on my left side. Last night my jaw was sore but I expected that. This afternoon the pain has spread down the left front part of my neck, about where my gland is. I have no swelling, discoloration, or difficulty swallowing. Im hoping they struck a nerve and the pain will subside. It hurts a little when I move my neck from side to side. Any cause for concern?
|
Hi. Welcome to Chat Doctor . I have gone through your query and can understand. As per your complaint pain in jaw on the side where you have got dental treatment done can be due to pain originating from the tooth that is worked on, and the pain can radiate to the entire jaw on the same side. While pain in neck on moving it side to side can be probably due to stiffening of muscles and also swollen lymph nodes under the jawline that can be a cause for neck pain. If the nerve is hit then in mild injuries the nerve recovers rapidly and the symptoms resolves and as you already have milder symptoms, nothing is there to worry. Nothing to worry as the pain is mid and will resolve gradually. As of now you can anti-inflammatory painkiller like Ibuprofen and also muscle relaxant like Chlorzoxasone. Do cool compresses. In case if there is no improvement or the symptoms worsen consult your dentist and get clinically evaluated. You can also discuss in detail with me by going to my profile and ask me a direct question for detailed discussion and advise. Hope this information helps. Thanks and regards. Chat Doctor.

HelloYour findings suggests mildly enlarged liver with fatty changes in liver. Fatty liver is a reversible condition. Obesity and sedentary lifestyle are its common causes. Other causes of hepatomegaly with fatty changes are hepatitis, alcohol intake, altered lipid profile, medicines,autoimmune causes etc. I suggest routine hologram, random blood sugar, urine RE/ME, renal function test and liver function test. You may need to take few medicines after evaluation. You may need to change your diet and lifestyle. You should go for brisk walk regularly. Get well soon. Take Care Chat Doctor.

Hello, I have had a CT done of the Lumbosacral spine. What does a broad based annular disc bulge at L5/S1 with anterior theca distortion mean? There is disc material seen impinging onto the exiting S1 nerve root. Also disc bulge at L3/4 and L4/5.I frequently have quite severe pain across my lower back and this creates sciatic nerve pain through my legs. I have pulling, pinching sensations. I can have intense burning in the back of my thighs, pain on the outer part of my calf and pain shooting intensely into the middle of my heal. I can also experience some loss of feeling in my legs.I would greatly appreciate it if I could get a more detailed explanation of what is happening inside me and what kind of exercises could best help me manage this problem.Thankyou,AAAAA
|
HI, thanks for using Chat Doctor Between the vertebra (the bones in the back), there are discs. These discs are made up of an outer ring called the annulus fibrosis and an inner part called the nucleus pulposus. The bulge that was seen between L5 vertebra and S1 vertebra was a bulging of the outside ring or annulus. The theta is a sheath covering the spinal cord, due to the bulging of the annulus, there is also is distortion of this sheath. The imaging also saw bulging between L3 and L4 vertebra and L4 and L5 vertebra. The bulging disc is compressing the nerve that is exiting from the S1 vertebra or bone at the level of S1. These results would definitely contribute to your pain. Your doctor would likely suggest referral to the physiotherapist. The physiotherapist would be able to demonstrate exercises that may help you. You may also need medication to help reduce your symptoms. It can sometimes take a month, sometimes up to a year for improvements to be seen. I hope this helps

Hi... Thank you for consulting in Chat Doctor. Fever of few days without any localizing signs could as well a viral illness. Usually rather than fever, what is more important is the activity of the child, in between 2 fever episodes on the same day. If the kid is active and playing around when there is no fever, it is probably viral illness and it doesn't require antibiotics at all. Once viral fever comes it will there for 4-7 days. So do not worry about duration if the kid is active. Paracetamol can be given in the dose of 15\u00a0mg/kg/dose (maximum ceiling dose of 500\u00a0mg) every 4-6th hourly that too only if fever is more than 100F. I suggest not using combination medicines for fever, especially with Paracetamol. Regards -

I am 46 yrs old, female. I have degenerative disks and 2 yrs ago had 3 cervical disks replaced with instrumentation. Now I am having very sharp pain and pins and needle sensation in my upper back and the left upper portion feels like my skin is numb and freezing cold. This pain wakes me up at night. What would cause this-it isnt going away and is more frequent. Thanks!

Hello, I have studied your case. You may need to do MRI spine with contrast again to see for nerve compression. Due to compression of this nerve root there is tingling numbness in your back and pain associated with it. Previous surgery may lead to early degeneration around operated vertebrae. Another possibility of spinal canal stenosis leading to pain on standing. If your MRI shows disc bulge with nerve compression then surgery may help. For these symptoms analgesic and neurotrophic like pregabalin and methylcobalamine medication can be started consulting your doctor. 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. 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.

Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ? Please type your query here... Why does my blood pressure rise for no good reason? I can be sitting in my easy chair and all of a sudden my BP will go up to an all time high. Seems like it starts in the middle of my body and just rises and makes me feel really strange. Whats up?
|
Hi Thereafter going through your query I understand your concern. I would like to tell you that many factors can cause a rise in your blood pressure like, unhealthy lifestyle, lack of physical activity, obesity, body malfunctions or genetic factors etc. Cause of hypertension should be evaluated for a proper treatment. It's recommended for to consult a GP and get yourself evaluated and for further management. Kind Regards

I there, my mother just came back from the doctors office with a blood pressure reading of 280 over 130, he told her to go home and take her medicine because she has not taken it in 4 days, do you think I should take her to the ER for them to get it under control
|
Hi, Usually, high blood pressure patients start tolerating high BP. If your mother is not having any major symptom besides high BP, let her take her medication and physical rest. She must avoid all physical and mental exertions for the next 3 or 4 days. Even morning walk should be avoided for the next 3 or 4 days. Ask her to avoid tea, coffee and alcohol also. Ask her to relax. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Greetings doctor,I am 18 year old boy, uncircumcised. I have little bit of vitiligo. I have stopped consuming all the medicines for it now .I was prone to masturbation and did it pretty much everyday .My penis (glans) looks blue, dry and a bit brown and dark near the meatus(opening). I have very dry foreskin.I was using coconut oil as a remedy. I have a healthy diet but a bit sleep deprived routine due to studies.I have a loss of libido too. I am virgin.
|
Degree understand your concerns went through your details. Please understand, you must not misunderstand simple things and become anxious. Vitiligo is a chronic skin condition characterized by portions of the skin losing their pigment. On treatment the condition will be cured. You should continue treatment. You should not associate your vitiligo condition with your masturbation or sexual abilities. Masturbation is considered healthy if done in moderation. You can have one masturbation per day but not when you have skin problems. For the time being, keep away from masturbation. Coconut oil makes skin more Chat Doctor. Instead, you may use olive oil.

i am on the pill yasmin and have not gotten my period during my 7 days free. this has happened me before when i was on yasminelle but i changed to yasmin so it wouldnt happen again. ive been taking yasmin for the past 7 or 8 months and this is the first time i havent got my period on it.. should i be worried of pregnancy?
|
Hello, and I hope I can help you today. Many women stop menstruating while they are taking birth control pills, especially after long-term use. This is because the tissue lining the uterus called the endometrium, becomes so thin that there is too little to be visible externally during the free week. Because all birth control pills contain progesterone, which suppresses your uterine lining, even switching to a pill that has a slightly higher dose of estrogen can sometimes not produce a menstrual cycle. So there is no harm in missing a menstrual cycle while you are on birth control pills. If you took all the pills in the package to close to the same time every day, and use them correctly, your pregnancy risk whether you get your period is still less than 1%. So I do not think that you need to be worried about pregnancy in the situation if you are taking your pills correctly and do not feel any different or exhibit any other symptoms of pregnancy. I hope I was able to adequately answer your question today, and that my advice was helpful. Best wishes,

Hi, I was diagnosed with PID last year after being admitted to hospital with sepsis. Before I was admitted My symptoms were abdominal pain, pain with sex and bleeding after sex. All these symtoms are now back but have had blood tests etc and no signs of infection. When I was admitted with sepsis all my bloods still showed no signs of infection. What should I do?
|
Hi there, PID means pelvic inflammatory disease, and it could be the inflammation of the fallopian tube along with the uterus and also the inside of the abdominal cavity. Infection causes inflammation and when it heals with the help of antibiotics or on its own it leaves behind scarring or in this case adhesions which may occur between the different organs present in the lower pelvic region. These adhesions cause pain whenever the organs are moved due to having sex or any manipulation of the external genital organ. The bleeding post sex need s to be evaluated with the help of a PAP smear exam to rule out any cervical pathology. You may visit your gun and get yourself evaluated with the help of an ultrasound to rule out any other pathology. If there are adhesions they need to be freed which can usually be done microscopically or by open surgery if required. Do get yourself evaluated. Take care.

Hello, I have studied your case. Due to trauma to back there can be injury to vertebra or sacrum, you may need to do X-ray spine and MRI spine. Due to compression of this nerve root there is back pain. 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 inferential therapy will give quick relief. Core stabilizing spine exercises will help. I will advise checking your it B12 and it D3 level. Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow-up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us.

Hi. i am a healthy 18 year old girl and i have been exercising for basically my entire life. I havent had many problems other than a small heart valve leak but i had an ekg done and was cleared to exercise. Yesterday while running pretty vigorously on the treadmill i began to have a sharp pain in my right lung every time i tried to breathe. I immediately stopped running and the pain subsided within a couple of minutes. Any idea what may have caused this? I am not sick and feeling totally fine today.
|
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. Since you have done ECG recently, and it is normal, no need to worry much for cardiac cause. Your age is also very young for cardiac diseases, so cardiac cause is less likely for your acute sharp chest pain. In my opinion it is muscular pain only, because of sudden muscle pull. And sudden relief from pain is also favouring muscular cause more. So try to follow these steps for better symptomatic relief.1. Avoid strenuous exercise.2. Avoid heavyweight lifting.3. Avoid movements causing pain.4. Take good painkiller and muscle relaxant.5. Apply warm water pad on affected site if appears again.

Hi one of my friend is effected with blood cancer & doctors said that max she might live for a span of 10 days. We people want to save her & some people said that there is medicine for that in madhya pradesh mangilal to save her in days counts. So can u please suggest us regarding that. Its to urgent please .......... Waiting for ur repl
|
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your situation and problem. But terminal stage cancer can not be cured. Blood cancers can rapidly spread in the body and succumb patient. They are metastasize in all organs. So life expectancy is very less. And five year survival rate is also very rare. And no treatment can cure this. So no need to follow ayurvedic and other treatment option as there is no cure for cancer. One has to accept the situation.

Hi Dear, Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of hair loss and Dan Chat Doctor. Need not worry. I would suggest you to consult dermatologist for proper examination. Doctor may order skin patch test, blood test and physical examination and may prescribe financial at least for 3-4 months along with antifungal medications. Take Indian gooseberry powder (half spoon) with water once a day and use almond oil for hair massage. Avoid use of hard cosmetic products, gels, sprays and shampoos. Hope your concern has been resolved. Best Wishes,

Hi Im a 42yr old fitter welder ,I was diagnosed with bilateral shoulder impingement in both shoulders as well as elbows with tendinitis both forearms ,Ive had shoulder surgery with little improvement in shoulders and no improvement in fore arms it has been 18 months since symptoms started. I m unable to work at the moment and near future ,do you fore see this will change or would the pain and tightness be a permanent thing.
|
Hi, Thank you for providing the brief history of you. As in my clinical experience, we do not find shoulder impingement cases to undergo surgery as the physical therapy has helped to the majority of patients. In shoulder impingement the ROM of the shoulder is restricted and regaining back through exercises is always possible, as research supports this as well. In case if you have undergone the surgery, then post surgery a better physical therapy rehabilitation plan has to be implemented for future goals. In case if this is missed, you can start the post surgical shoulder rehabilitation program to get the shoulder functionality back. RegardsJay In Chat Doctor.

My daughter is 8 and is sufferring from fever which goes upto about 38C and keeps coming back every 8 to 9 hours after we give her paracetamol , not sure if its a viral infection or some other infection like urine infection , etc, the doctor has prescribed clarithromycin as well , which she has already taken 5 times
|
Hi, Apart from fever, what are her symptoms-like cough, throat pain, loos stools, vomiting? Whether azithromycin will be effective or not, will depend on the cause of fever. If it is respiratory infection (will be having cough, cold or throat pain), azithromycin is a good choice. But we have to wait 48-72 hours to get any relief. If it is just a fever only, with otherwise normal examination, I will take this as viral fever and give paracetamol for 3 days and review. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

What actually causes cold urticaria? I stay in an air conditioned room and usually nothing happens. But when Im exposed to cold stimuli for a long time or if its really too cold, my hands swell up and become puffy and itchy. Is there a way to stop this besides covering up? Im 16, female and I have had this allergy since I was little.
|
Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor, The history and symptoms suggests me that you may be having the Maynard phenomenon. It is a condition in which there is excessive reduced blood flow in response to cold or emotional stress. It is a hyperactivation of the sympathetic nervous system causing extreme vasoconstriction of the peripheral blood vessels, leading to tissue hypoxia and producing these symptoms. This can be managed by avoiding triggers such as cold, keeping a warm body temperature and avoiding smoking including passive smoking. Chat Doctor. Thank you.

Hi I am 24 years old. I had sex during my ovulation period. and now my periods are 15 days late... I took pregnancy test 3 times in last 7 days.. but got negative.. I want to conceive.... current symptoms of pregnancy I am feeling are lower back pain.. lower abdomen pain.. little sickness... What should I do now??? Also, If we still have sex... would it be beneficial for pregancy?? or should we avoid until my pregancy test comes positive or get periods??
|
Hallow Dear, If otherwise you had regular menses in the past and the pregnancy test is negative even 15 days after missed period, you are most probably not pregnant. This delay in the menses could be due to the apprehension for desired pregnancy. If you still want further confirmation, you have two options

My son is 7 and complaining of toothache over the past week or so. He has a pea sized firm lump at the back of his lower gum and I suspect a molar erupting. Hes in a fair bit of pain and rarely complains. Should I be concerned or is the lump normal. Im worried in case if infection?
|
Hi Dear, Welcome to Chat Doctor. Understanding your concern. As per your query you have painful lump on the lower gum of a child is normal during time of tooth eruption. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to maintain complete hygiene of child. You should get clinical check up done by a dentist and get a X-ray done so that it can be ruled out what is exactly causing you the lump. Do brushing a flossing regularly. Avoid intake of sticky food. Get scaling and cleaning done in that area. In case of pain take proper antibiotic course. Massage with colonel as well to increase blood flow. Hope your concern has been resolved. Get Well Soon. Best Wishes,

hi,i have been waking up for the last 2 weeks with numb fingers,and only get the feeling back when i open and close them and hold them down,i use power tools in work,ive been talking 225mgeffexor for 1and a half years,and i have done a lot of srenght trainng over the last 10 years,could it be that im just lying on my hand when im asleep?thanks.
|
Hi Thanks for your query and Welcome to Chat Doctor. I am Chat Doctor. If it is a transient numbness which becomes better as you wake up, then it may not be a lot of worry especially if it is one side towards which you are sleeping. It can be due to a transient compression of the nerves, but if it is a persistent issue even while at work and is associated with Neck pain, or other symptoms like weakness, paresthesia (Pin prick or needle prick sensations) etc., then it requires evaluation in form of blood tests, clinical examination and maybe if needed a nerve conduction study. Do not hesitate to contact me if you need any further assistance/SOS You can also discuss your case and treatment plans with me in a greater detail in a private consultation. Thanks & Regards

I,m 29 yrs, almost 6 feet tall, about 75 kg, no previous medical history. I was playing with my nephews and slide down a children s slide which was very steep. I completely let go and landed with a bang at the bottom of the slide, on my tail bone. It s been 2 weeks and it s still paining, specially when i sit and more on harder seats. When i lie down it s almost fine. When will it heal and do I need to go in for some X ray or MRI scan???

Probably you have a fractured coccyx (tailbone) which can cause this discomfort and pain, this bone takes long time to heal, x-ray can confirm the diagnosis and role out other fractures if any .you can try the following instructions to help you through this

I am 67 years old man.I am having mild back pain on right side of spinal curvature.Sonography findings are (i) simple cortical cyst right kidney and (ii) benign prostato megaly (grade I) with insignificant post void residue - prostrate size 4.9x3.4x2.9 cm (wt.26.5 gms). Pl advise,
|
Hi, Simple cortical cysts are very common after the age of 40 years. At your age, it is a normal finding. Small cysts do not cause any pain. Occasionally large cysts can cause flank pain. Grade I prostatomegaly can also be considered a normal finding at your age. If you have any symptoms like poor urine flow, increased frequency of urination, urgency or getting up at night to pass urine, then it needs to be evaluated further. Insignificant post void residue means that there was no significant amount of urine in your bladder after you passed urine i.e. you are emptying the bladder completely. This is a good sign which implies that prostatomegaly is not causing much obstruction to your urine flow. I can guide you further once you mention the size of the cyst. If the cyst is small (e.g. less than 3 cm), then you need to be evaluated for spine and muscle related problems. Wish you a speedy recovery and good health,

I am having anxiety / shortness of breath and chronic asthma. I am using two puffs of Combihale twice a day and if required I take Synasma - 400 mg per day and Montek LC. Only medicine that is effective is Montek LC and since it causes drowsiness at high dosage, I resort to asthalin quite often. I would like to know if my shortness of breath may be the cause of excessive asthalin usage. If so, how may I manage both shortness of breath and anxiety.Age
|
Hi, I had gone through your query and understand your concern. No, this is unlikely to cause shortness of breath in asthma patient due to excessive Stalin use since Stalin acts by dilating airways and thereby relieves breathlessness. Rather excessive use of Stalin indicates that your asthma is not under good control. For asthma management, Physicians follow step care management. If I were the treating physician, I would check the diagnosis, inhaler technique, triggers and Chat Doctor. If every thing is found alright, then I would think for stepping up like increasing the dose of steroid inhaler if required and other

I am 36 and have never had a child or tried to conceive one till last month. Because of my age, I wanted a completed checkup to see if anything is wrong. My doctor is suggesting that I have a polyp removed because it is a possible cause for infertility but on here I read an answer that stating that my body could take up to a year to heal enough to conceive ? Is that right ? It is only one polyp if that makes any difference.
|
Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor. Yes even one uterine polyp can interfere with attachment of embryo to uterine wall resulting in infertility. As advised by your Gynecologist get it removed through Hysteroscope. It just takes a FEW DAYS to heal after the surgery sine the endometrium (lining of uterus) has good blood supply. So don't worry. Go ahead with the surgery. Take a tablet of folic acid daily. To increase your chances of conception maintain normal BMI, quit smoking (if you're a smoker) and have intercourse at least three times in a week. If you have any further concerns do contact me through Chat Doctor

Hello, I hope you are well, ESR is a very non-specific acute phase reactant study that can be raised by multiple causes; any infectious process, of stress, deny Chat Doctor. A very important relationship is diarrhea and an increase in ESR due to an inflammatory bowel disease in any of its variants such as Ulcerative Colitis, Crohn's Disease or an Indeterminate Colitis.

My child of 2,5 years was diagnosed with RSV infection upon showing respiratory problems (difficulty to breathe) and she was put on respirator. She suffers of asthma as well. Her O2 saturation level improved for a while but after 12 hours the level started decreasing? Whats causing this fluctuation?
|
Hello dear, thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your situation and problem. RSV (respiratory synovial virus) infection in asthmatic patients is very dangerous and causing severe bronchospasm with super added bacterial infection. Both these conditions cause poor oxygenation of lungs. This ventilation perfusion mismatch occurs. So deoxygenated blood will not be properly oxygenated. And this causes low oxygenation.

HIGH my feet hands and ankles have swelled up real bad. I have hepititus C asthma joint pain. I also had a heart stent put in in 2008.my wife gave naproxon to take for my pain and swelling in my knee one or two days later i have al this swelling in my hands feet and ankles
|
Hello sir, The swelling you described has to be evaluated. As swelling can be diffuse over area or could be over joints. You need to visit to your treating doctor for evaluation of same, if any change in medication is required or an investigation to look for function of internal organs that might cause swelling. If the swelling is localized to joint you might also need an orthopedic consultation. I hope for the best for you. Thank you

Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You have history of injury, so it may be some hematoma formation. You may have some internal injuries.

3 weeks ago today i had laproscopic appendectomy . Last week when it was 2 weeks after my surgery I started having upper stomach cramps . It has only increased in cramps and pain. I started taking some Donnatal that I had left from last year and it has helped with the cramps but still feel very sore and bloated in my upper stomach. What could be going on with me?
|
Hello, Sharrel, I hope you contacted the surgeon that did the laparoscopic surgery prior to taking medications on your own. If you were given pain medications, it is possible that you might be experiencing some side effects. After any type of intestinal surgery, the contractions of the intestines are a little slow and this might account for the bloating. Also, Don natal slows down the contractions. If the pain persists, I would recommend contacting the surgeon who may recommend some x-rays or scans. Hope you feel better.

hi, last night I masturbated with soap and while washing the soap off, I feel this burning sensation on the bottom part of the head of my penis. When I looked I saw a few red spots. It also burns if water comes into contact or urine. I tried putting Candid B cream but still the same. It began maybe 6 hours ago.
|
Degree understand your concerns went through your details. Masturbation using soap can cause irritation to the soft skin of penis and this could cause momentary inflammation. Your red dots and burning sensation could be due to the inflammation. Leave the area like that. Keep it clean and Chat Doctor. No need to use any cream. Observe for three days and if no improvement found, please consult a urologist. If you require more of my help in this aspect, please use this URL. http

Hi...by what to quote this seems like a mucus cyst to me. It is generally self limiting, and they grow out of it. But if it is causing discomfort to him in any way...

Hi Doctor, I had undergone hair straightening and colouring sometime back. Because of this my hair has got completely damaged. I am losing a lot of hair and hair whitening has also become common. My hair has become very frizzy and looks lifeless. What should I do to get my healthy hair back?
|
Hi Dear, Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of hair whitening and loss of hair which seems to be due to compromised immunity of body, stress, systemic conditions, improper hygiene, fungal infection and hormonal changes. Need not worry. I would suggest you to - Take diet rich in supplements like vitamin A, Omega-3 and vitamin E.- You should avoid using shampoos that contain excessive chemicals. - Take protein rich diet and healthy food intake on daily basis. - Do massage of hair scalp on daily basis.- Avoid covering your hairs with cap/hat or longer duration. If symptoms keeps on persisting visit dermatologist once and get it examined and start treatment with antifungal medication and shampoo. Go for blood tests to check any underlying systemic pathology. Hope your concern has been resolved. Best Wishes,

hi, occasionally i get a rather large spot or 2 between my balls and my leg, i keep that area fairly clean and am not sure what they are, ive worn a condom every time ive had sex so im certain its not an STI. Id really appreciate if you could help me
|
Hello, The private area where you get spots / boils is due to warmth and moisture. Keep the area between the balls and the inner thighs clean and Chat Doctor. Bacteria (staph aureus) or fungus have the tendency to grow in the moist and warm areas. However, people who have this infection can spread it with skin to skin contact or contaminated towels, bedsheets, clothes, etc. Make sure that the natural skin barrier is not broken with some kind of injury or friction. Inner thighs are areas where friction occurs due to rubbing of the skin(if obese), exercising, running, etc. Wear loose fitting cotton clothes, avoid sex for a couple of days. You can apply Bactrian (mupirocin) ointment after cleaning the area affected. If its fungus (ring worm infection), then you can apply clotrimazole or fluconazole cream inn the area affected & take a course of antifungals (fluconazole) orally. Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

My son is 14 years old. He had a fever on Sunday of 103. Not unusual for him. Yesterday and today he just doesnt seem to be bouncing back. He says his legs ache a little today, but he doesnt hurt anywhere else. Is there a bug going around that I should be aware of or could it be the intense cold that we have been having?
|
HI, thanks for using Chat Doctor Viral infections are prevalent, and it is possible that this is the cause of his symptoms. They can be associated with aches and pains along with fever. The ambient temperature would not itself cause symptoms. The use of rest, fluids and paracetamol may help at this stage. If additional symptoms occur or his symptoms worsen then you can treat or take him to see his doctor. I hope this helps

Hi Dear Welcome to the ChatDoctorContinuous weight gain according to the age and chart is the best indicator for the well-being of the child. It is also the best indicator the adequate fulfillment of the caloric supply to the baby means baby is getting sufficient milk. Many times because of the gastronomic reflex there is frequent motion without any infection. Gradually with due course of times this frequency decreases and baby starts passing normal stool. Hope the query is answered. Thanks

I have a sunken chest cavity which I have had all my life I am 70. My grandson inherited this defect and worries about it he is 16. A schoolmate of his had this corrected and he talks about doing this someday. I never felt my situation hindered any sports etc but he is afraid to get into any physical sports like basketball etc for fear of injury?Is there some way of evaluating if this deformity is limiting him?
|
Thank you for your queryPectus Excavated (sunken chest) varies in degree (mild to severe). This is a defect in the development of the anterior ribs and sternum (breastbone). The heart and lungs are adjacent structures and depending on the degree of the defect, they may or may not be significantly compromised. Reduced lung capacity, Cardiac wall and valve defects can be diagnosed by appropriate tests. Initially, the severity of the defect must be assessed. A series of tests (ECG, CT scan of the chest, Echocardiogram will show mechanical/conductive defects of the heart; pulmonary function tests, treadmill test(stress/exercise test) will show the functional defects of the lung/heart.) Based on these, his age and overall health, a treatment plan will be made. If it is mild and without any compromise in lung and heart function, the concern is mainly of a cosmetic one. Normal physical activity can be continued. Corrective surgery is optional it is causing severe retardation in his overall endurance, a corrective surgery may help. There are different types of procedures all of which are associated with certain risks. This should be discussed with his doctor before making a decision and if the benefits outweigh the risks, the surgery carried out has excellent prognosis once he is on the road to recovery. Hope this helps. Please contact us if you have further questions. Wish you both good health

After operation she developed Adhesions& metastatics, Now we are helpless WHAT DO I DO, PLEASE SUGGEST ME.

Hello! Good Day! I've read your concerns and feel sorry for your wife. The surgery might be necessary to get all remaining tumors and decrease the tumor load of your wife. Ovarian cancer metastasis is really known to be messy and produce a lot of adhesions and metastasis. Adhesions/metastasis can only be treated with surgery. If I was the treating surgeon, tumor debunking, peritoniectomy, plus intro operative peritoneal chemotherapy (HI PEC) will ad Chat Doctor. However, if the adhesions/metastasis are unresectable, palliative treatments will be the last option (colostomy for obstruction, tubes for feeding).

Hello,I am a 41 yr old male and I have a large lump between rectum and groin. It appeared 2 days ago and is now extremely tender and the lump is moving down to my scrotum. I am trying prep h but it is steadily getting worse. I have trouble sitting, bending, etc

Hi. It would most likely be a abscess or collection of pus - infected. I suggest you see a Surgeon soon to get it evacuated and start a course of antibiotics along with anti-inflammatory medicines. The medicines should be continued for at least a week to avoid a recurrence of the infection. So please see a Doctor preferably a Surgeon at the earliest. Take care and feel free to ask any questions you might have. Chat Doctor.

Thank you.I have a persistant cough which seems to have got worse over time.I do not have any cold or flue symptoms but a few weeks ago I noticed that I couldnt sing anymore as my voice keeps cracking and my throat has become dry and now feels a little swollen.I dont have any mucus or phlegm.What do you think could be the cause of this?
|
Hello dear, thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. Chronic Chat Doctor. Chronic lung infection like tuberculosis and fungal infection. 2. Bronchitis3. Vocal cord pathology. So better to consult pulmonologist and get done1. Clinical examination of respiratory system. 2. Chest x-ray. 3. PUT (pulmonary function test). Chest x-ray is needed to rule out lung infection. PFT is needed to rule out bronchitis. If all are normal then consult ENT doctor to rule out vocal cord pathology. Since you are singer, vocal cord damage can be there. So rule out this.

I get sores where my legs rub. I also have many blackheads in the same area. The sores take a long time to heal and they dont heal up at all until I pull this rubbery white plug out. They are very difficult to remove them but the second they come out I feel a great sense of relief from pain. It leaves a perfect little hole that starts to bleed once it is pulled out. They sometimes return in the same spot or have multiple rubbery things in one sore. They are v shaped, and very elastic in texture. They dont generally bleed (the sores) until the rubbery thing gets pulled. what are these things? How do I deal with them?
|
Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor. Based on the details mentioned in your query I am suspecting sebaceous cysts which are caused by blockage of sebaceous glands present in the hair follicles. They get blocked by sebum which is secreted by these glands and when these blockages are removed, they can bleed. I suggest you keep the affected areas clean and Chat Doctor. Avoid tight-fitting clothes which cause increased sweating in those areas. Also get a prescription of antibiotics to avoid infection and recurrence of these cysts. Local application of Benzoic acid over the affected area will be useful. Thanks.

my son is 3years and 5months old we live in cambodia only his been here for 2months now.he developed a terrible rush on his body which spreads very fast as the temperatures get hotter.the locals say i should help him take as many showers as possible and it is a normal occurance in children in south-east asia.however he cant sleep well at night Dr how do you advise me?is there medication?
|
Dear Parent, Heat rashes are very common in summers and in humid environments. They usually subside by exposure to cooler environments, wearing light cotton clothes, using cool packs and cool showers. However, if your rash is not going away with home treatment above or getting worse after 3-5 days you should consult a pediatrician who can examine your child and make sure there is not a bacterial infection or other cause. If your child has fever, headache, nausea, dizziness, or vomiting, you should immediately seek medical help.

I am getting my Mirena removed next week and I am wondering if the removal of an IUD causes ovulation. I am wanting to get pregnant as soon as possible and need to know what the chances of an immediate pregnancy are. I have had my iud since April 2011 and have only had one period while it was in place. I havent had any problems with the iud.
|
Hi, IRENA is not a simple IUD. It has hormones impregnated, which were entering your body & suppressing your bodies hormones. It will take some time for your body to start the regular cyclical hormonal production. Usually within a month or two you will have normal hormone levels, so normal ovulation. Usually after such suppression body hormone show a surge & suddenly good number of follicles start growing & pregnancy chances are good. Hope I have cleared your Doubtful the best Chat Doctor.

I have sever tuthache advise me tablets i fell hot n cold in that teeth since 2 days now pain since last night? plz
|
Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor, If there is cavity associated with the tooth with pain, place cotton dipped in formocresol within the cavity for temporary relief. Also avoid food lodgment at the site. Maintain good oral hygiene. Get a thorough clinical and x-ray evaluation done. Get your teeth cleaned. Decayed teeth have to be restored.Painkillers will not give permanent relief. Please do take medicines after consulting with your dentist. Take care.

If i do pay attention i can answer any question my teacher asks but when im by myself or writing it down i just cant seem to be able to do it or concentrait. and i guess in my parents point of veiw its just getting worse (my grades are going lower.) in class while everybodys doing their work im sitting there playing with my hair. i want to go talk about it with my doctor but i dont wanna go there and find out its nothing..im 16, female, and my names jelena. whats wrong with me?
|
Degree understand your concerns went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. You are supposed to refer to concentration and attention as two. Attention span for any adult is maximum 30 minutes. Sometimes, a person can be attentive to an interesting thing for more than 30 minutes, such as movies or games. Concentration is attention plus understanding. For this too, span OS below 30 minutes. If you are able to make your studies interesting and based on variable principle, your concentration level can be increased. Concentration comes only when you are interested in what you do. So please be passionate towards what you are doing or do only those things which you are interested in. It is also possible to improve your concentration level with the help of yoga, meditation and breathing exercises. Psychotherapy techniques should suit your requirement. If you require more of my help in this aspect, Please post a direct question to me in this URL. http

MY HUSBAND HAD A CT SCANNER ONE YEAR AGO AND EVERYTHING WAS NORMAL, AFTER ONE YAER HE HAD A SEISURE AND AFTER ONE WEEK A SURGERY . BIOPSY RATED AS GRADE 3 AA. THE LESION HAS TWO COMPONENTS AND THE BIGGEST ONE 2.6 CM LOOKS LIKE LOW GRADE AND THE SMALL PART 9 MM IS GRADE 3. IS ANY WAY THAT WE CAN FIGURE OUT THE PROGNOSIS ? IF TUMOR IS AGRESSIVE ?
|
Hi, Thanks for writing in. Anaplastic astrocytes (WHO grade III) constitute about 10% of all gliomas. Definitive data on predictive and prognostic factors are lacking for these neoplasms that are considered the most enigmatic entity among the whole spectrum of astrocyte tumors because of their unclear biologic behavior and variable clinical outcome. Cancer is a difficult condition to treat and the progress of disease can be predicted only after initiation of treatment and response. Anaplastic astrocyte is more on the aggressive side and shows behavior that requires a close watch. As there is only a small part showing anaplastic features, the cancer can still be controlled and aggressive treatment must be given in the beginning. In a cancer lesion having both aggressive and low grade areas, the tumor must be treated as an aggressive one and measures should be put in place to control tumor growth and control cellular proliferation. The age-standardized 5-year relative survival rate is 23.6%.

Hi, My baby is 1.5 months old, she passing green plus some red color stool last 2 days .She getting breast feed and lactogen 3 and also normal food. Every day she stooling 6 or 7 times . We did not go any doctor. Is it dangerous situation and need to go doctor immediately ?
|
Thanks for asking on Chat Doctor. Let me ad Chat Doctor. Breast milk is the best food for a baby and there can be no alternatives to that. Formula milk like lactose are cow milk based and hence hard to digest for a baby. It may lead to greenish stools. But reddish is not normal, and you should get the stool tested for routine microscopy and occult blood. Passing stool 10 times a day is equally normal as passing stool once in 10 days, and you need not bother about it unless the stool is very hard. Lactogen 3 is unsuitable for a baby of this age and can be given only after 1 year of age. So stop giving it. I would like to ask what do you mean by normal food. A baby is supposed to receive only breast milk and nothing else till the age of 6 months. In case breast milk is inadequate, supplementation with formula milk can be given, but that should be age appropriate. Although it is not a dangerous situation, it needs to be managed properly, and you need to get guidance on this from a pediatrician. Visit a doctor with the stool report or post a query directly to me with the report and I would try to help you further.

Welcome at Chat Doctor I have gone through your query and being your doctor I completely understand your health concerns. Yes you should immediately meet your doctor so that treatment can be initiated... Meanwhile, get your family members screening done and particularly your wife if you are married. Get precautions during sexual intercourse Treatment usually varies from 6, months to one year. Your doctor will decide about your case. Get well soon Regards Chat Doctor.

My daughter is 20 years old now on Saturday she complained about her chest and that it felt tight and some difficulty breathing it went away over night.Just this evening she had to sit down because her heart rate was racing. I could not count the beats they were to fast! It lasted approx. 5 min. She has complained about her heart beating fast before in the past when she was 15 years old. I took her to a doctor than and he said not to worry but the symptoms have returned. How worried should I be. It is difficult with a 20 year old because she thinks I worry to much!
|
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. In my opinion, you should definitely consult cardiologist for your daughter. Arrhythmia (rhythm disturbances in heart) can be seen in young patients with similar symptoms. So get done ECG, 2d echo and Holder monitoring (24 hours continuous recording of ECG). If all these are normal then no need to worry about arrhythmia or any other heart diseases. Teenagers are also at increased risk of stress and anxiety. So better to consult psychiatrist and get done counselling sessions. Try to identify stressor in her life and start working on its solution. She may need anxiolytic Chat Doctor. Don't worry, she will be alright with all these. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your daughter. Thanks.

I fell and hit my elbow on the pavement about 3 weeks ago. Bruising has long since subsided but there still remains a noticeable amount of fluid settled in/around the tip of the elbow. There isn t any pain except when I put weight on the tip of the elbow... and it s more of a numb kind of pain... any ideas?
|
Hello, I have studied your case and I think that you have developed bursitis around elbow, or you may have soft tissue injury. I would suggest you following.1. Hot water fomentation2. Tablet Brute 400 mg twice daily.3. Compression bandage and physiotherapy.4. If fluid is more than needle aspiration can be done to remove excess fluids. I hope these steps will be helpful for you. Let me know if there is any other followup questions. Thanks

i keep geting excrutiating pain in my right calf it burns it hurts and it makes me not want to talk to people when i have it i have had this or along time have been to docs several times had x rays on my hips and scan on my leg nothing there so she just gives me pain killers which dont make any difference have been on computer before and the only thing i can find is the mischief maker pain is this what ive got and what can i do about it
|
Hi... The pain what you complaining if it is due to some trigger in calf muscle itself...which could be tight calf muscles.trigger points in calf muscles. The causative factor could be load placed on calf muscle due to faulty foot alignment issues Luke hyperpronation... habituated walking in toes...etc. If I were your treating doctor then. I would like to remove the causative factor first to reduce the load on calf muscles. Keep icing your calf muscles frequently... Examine the foot to suggest you to have an arch support done... Glute rehab to improve glute stability...like clamshell...bridging ...side lying lifting one leg up... squats...spine extension...exercises. Gentle kneading over both calf muscles... Hope this is helpful for you. Kindly revert in case you need further clarification...

my girlfriend has been experiencing sharp pains in her chest and on the top of her left breast. The pain has also spread to her left arm and is creating numbness all the way into her hand. She also has a lump in her breast as well. She is going to get it checked out tomorrow but the apt maybe cancelled because of a huge storm. So we are obviously nervous. Please help
|
Hi welcome to the Chat Doctor According to history she is having left side chest pain and radiating towards arm... Hence, ischemic heart disease or angina like problem needs to be ruled out first... For that EKG investigation needs to be done along with troponin estimation if needed Second is no cardiac cause found then no need too much worry For lump in breast investigation needed with FNAC to rule out nature of lesion According to cause management plan decided So consult physician or any general practitioner if available for examination and EKG Take care Hope your concern solved

Its not about me, but its about my partner. Hes BiPolar which ive known about for years, but recently hes told me he thinks hes got anhedonia. We hardly ever have sex now because of it and i want to know if theres anything i can do to help him or for him to help himself!
|
Hi, Thanks for writing to us, In a person with bipolar disorder if there is recent onset Macedonia and low mood or loss of interest, a depressive episode should be ruled out. If he is taking his regular medications the chances of an episode is less but if there is any stressor in his life, an episode can get precipitated even with medications. Please consult his psychiatrist for an evaluation. Hope this helps Chat Doctor.

For the past two weeks my entire body has been itching extremely bad..i m miserable..and theres little raised bumps where i have been constantly itching now..I dont know if this is because of stress or what else it could be from?? I m not anymore stressed than i normally would be and I have no allergies I am aware of. What could it be???
|
Hi thanks for your question. The small raised bumps which your mentioning could be due to constant itching. Itcung could be due to some allergens present in your environment, or you might be consuming some food to which you are allargicOther common cause of itching include scabies, which is infection and involves whole body. I would suggest you to consult some physician to differentiate between allergic reaction AMD scabies further management will depend on diagnosis. Hope this answer your question.

He used to travel 100 kms per day (approx) Which doctor should i consult and what kind of treatment should we take? i reside in velachery
|
HelloThanks for your query. After going through your query I came to know that your husband is probably suffering from lumbar disc prolapse. It can be confirmed by MRI scan. There are two treatment options. First option is rest in position of relief(generally lateral position with both hip and knee bend), neurotopics such as mecobalamin and analgesics (Diclofenac three times a day after meals is effective). Sometimes strong analgesic(such as tramadol three times a day after meals) is required. Omeprazole before meals prevent acidity caused by analgesics. Second option is go for surgical operation(Discectomy). You can discuss with your treating Doctor about it. Hope your query get answered. If you have any further questions then don't hesitate to writing to us. I will be happy to help you. You can also write to me directly on below link

Hi For a few months now I have had severe back pain and shooting pains down the back of my right leg, my GP diagnosed Sciatica and said it would go. Well, it hasnt, the pain down my leg is not as bad but the pain in the base of my back is continuing and is very painful and is interfering with everyday life
|
Hi, Chronic back pain can be debilitating. There are lifestyle changes that may help you. You are overweight then weight loss may help. Regular low impact exercise such as swimming or cycling could be considered. Exercises to build up your core muscles to support your back will help. Do not rest as this will cause stiffness. Warm or cold compresses to area. Paracetamol and ibuprofen for pain. Also, steroid injections usually give lasting relief and can be repeated if needed. I hope this helps you. Chat Doctor.

Hi Doctor , My son is 22 months old and weighs 11kgs . Recently he has been coughing a lot (not dry cough) and had slight temperature last night. I called the pediatrician and he advised us to give 2.5ml of Ambrolite-D, 3 times a day . Will that be ok. What is the difference between Ambrolite S and D ? Regards, Gokul
|
Thanks for posting your query at Chat Doctor. Your son has a respiratory tract infection. Usually it is caused due to a virus and has an allergic component associated. Both Absolute D and Absolute S are safe to be given. Dose is ok. Absolute S contains aerosol, guaiphenesin and albuterol whereas Absolute D contains Cetirizine, Dextromethorphan, Pseudocode Chat Doctor. The actions are similar. The main difference is due to the albuterol which is a bronchodilator that helps in widening the airway tracts when there are spasms that cause wheezing. Hope that I have been able to add

Hello! Thank you for the query. Acetaminophen (Tylenol) is quite safe medicine, however when used reasonably. It is metabolized by the liver. The danger dosage is about 6 g (12 tablets) taken at once, so you seem not getting even closer to this dosage. However, the alcohol is also metabolized by the liver and connecting high dosage of alcohol (two beers seems to be safe) with this medicine can bring dangerous side effects. So you should e fine, however you should not connect these two substances. Hope this will help. Regards.

Hello, Thanks for letting us know your health concern. I have gone through your query and here are your answers. 1. Nitrogen contains micronized progesterone. It is used when there is a deficiency of natural progesterone. It is needed to sustain the pregnancy until the placenta takes over the function of producing progesterone between 12-14 weeks. Furthermore, it is safe to use during pregnancy as no adverse effects have been reported. 2. Meet contains Ondansetron. It is a category B Chat Doctor. Therefore, the benefits outweigh the risks. Hope this helps.

Husband is 62 w/o Caucasian male with DX. of Chronic Progressive MS x 17 years. Today he is very confused, says he can t distinguish reality from dreams. Has been sleeping very poorly for past several weeks due to severe muscle spasms in shoulders, legs. Medications; Low-dose Naltrexone, Tramadol (never together), Magnesium, Curcumin. This confusion is very about normal for him, and has lasted the entire day. He does know date/day of week/ current President, etc., no drooping of face, can stick out tongue, smile widely. TIA?
|
Hello, But this is probably not due to TIA as it lasted the whole day. However it could be due undiagnosed diabetes, electrolyte imbalances and kidney dysfunction. So I would recommend that he gets a blood test for blood glucose levels both fasting and postprandial, kidney functions test including urea and creatinine and blood gases test. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care

Thanks. I am having knee pain and also my leg and soles are paining and burning for the lst five years. I am also suffering from varicose veins. I had consulted nuero surgeon and after a test he was of the opinion that the blood flow in both the legs was hampered and he prescribed me Pregalin M M75, Aldonil 50 and Rejunex OD and was taking these medicines for the last one year but I am not getting any relief. On the contrary, the pain has increased and I am finding difficulttowals even onem. Pl. advise.
|
Hello, In this case, I do agree with treatment of your doctor. He has already prescribed you right medicines to help you. But if you are feeling continuous pain which is hampering your routine activities then there are some nerve block procedures which can be done by expert neurosurgeon or a neuro-physician. You may ask this from your doctor. Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Hi Doctor, I am a 47 years old lady, 95 Kg is my recent weight and I am 1.80 cm tall. i have always been weak with my lungs, I have had silent pneumonia 7 years ago, treated and finished fortunately but in the last 2 months I am having a daily temperature of 37.5 degrees which knock me down. tonight I just had X-ray and the response says
|
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. I have gone through the x-ray report you have mentioned. This report is not showing pneumonia. It is showing changes of bronchitis (inflammation of the airways). Prominent bronchovascular markings on chest x-ray is seen with bronchitis. So better to consult pulmonologist and get done clinical examination of respiratory system and PFT (pulmonary function test). PFT will not only diagnose bronchitis, but it will also tell you about severity of the disease. You may need inhaled treatment in the form of inhaled bronchodilator and inhaled corticosteroids. If you are smoker then quit smoking as soon as possible. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.

I am taking prolomet xl25 since past 4 months. This has been prescribed by cardiologist for HT. I face missing beats especially when (a) I have had a very tiring day and (b) I move from one position lying down to up right position and (c) When I am stressed. It is not a regular occurance but sometimes. Please let me know how serious is this and is it the sideeffect of the drug.Thanks.
|
Hello, To me, you should monitor your blood pressure (BP), record the results for reference. The missing heartbeats are indicating that your heart is not working properly. You need to get it monitored through Holder monitoring. Blood electrolytes should also get checked, and treated adequately. Discuss this further with your cardiologist. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

i am 26 weeks pregnant and have been having some problems. I have had a headache for 2 weeks with no relief and i have had an abnormal amount of discharge that is an odd yellowish color also i have had blood in my breastmilk and severe cramping followed by diarhea...
|
Hi. You seem to be having numerous issues; well first please get your hormone panel conducted and speak to your doctor about correction if there are any abnormalities. The headaches could be related to a hormonal cause, and it should subside as your pregnancy progresses. Yellowish discharge vaginally? That can happen during pregnancy, but either way report it to your doctor, so we can rule out infections. As for the blood discharge from your nipples, I would recommend a mammogram and a physical examination to be conducted by your doctor. Best wishes.

Hi doctor, i have a very small lum on my pelvic region and it showed up recently during the beginning of my menstrual cycle. Its slightly red but not reall detectable until u touch it. Its been here for two days and is slightly smaller. Any advice? ?
|
Welcome to Chat Doctor .1. It could be localized inflammatory change in the subcutaneous plane.2.Meanwhile do not scratch or press the lesion - as you will complicate.3. Sinse its asymptomatic - would recommend waiting and monitor.4. Maintain local hygiene - thinking in terms of infective process.5. If no change advised an ultrasound to evaluate if there is any collection or swelling and where it is arising from and its contents. Good luck. Hope it helps you. Wish you a good health. Anything to ask ? Do not hesitate. Thank you.
