i recently fell last friday face first cut my lip/gum a little and 3 of my front teeth got hit. my lip and gum are now fine, my 3 teeth are the slightest bit sore ( much better from day one, seems like they are recovering hopefully ) and one is slightly sensitive to cold . I put an iphone light up to them and noticed horizontal lines through my front two teeth as if they are cracked at those points however theyre not the ones that are sensitive to the cold. If i go to a dentist within 2 weeks of the injury is that too late, im very busy with school and i go to school out of state. currently my teeth just feel slightly tight and the one is slightly sensitive. there is no real pain, could anyone help me out here and tell me whats going on and wether i should be worried or not? thank you so much

Hello there.... If the injury over your lip and gum is not very severe then don't worry, as it would surely heal...only if the injury is deep enough you need to get it sutured otherwise it would lead to a bad scar (over your lip). Teeth that are injured have to be examined periodically... These traumatized teeth become non-vital and get discolored developing into small cyst at the bottom of the tooth later on....if the tooth is slightly mobile (which you would not be knowing) splinting needs to be carried out to prevent tooth from getting more mobile. The ideal time for splinting is within 12 hours of injury. As it gets delayed the prognosis worsens. The horizontal lines must be the cracks over the tooth surface as a result of trauma...get yourself examined from your dental surgeon for further clinical evaluation and management.

I have had swollen lymph nodes right below my chin on both sides. I went to the ent doctor. they put me on an antibiotic for two weeks and they did not change. I have always had enlarged tonsils so we discussed taking them out. he did not feel the lymph nodes were from a cancer type but he did check down my throat to be sure as I was a smoker for 20+ years. I had the tonsils removed 3 weeks ago and the lymph nodes are still swollen and hard...not changing at all and he said they would change by the first of the year.
|
Dear Dcschlichting, Swollen lymph nodes under your chin does not necessarily mean that you have cancer. It could be because of your poor Oriental hygiene. If your tonsils were removed, have they been subjected for histopathological examination. Calcified lymph nodes will not get any change inspire of taking the variety of anti bionics. In case your physician is suspicious about these nodes you should get fine needle aspiration from the lymph nodes done. Even direct biopsy of the suspicious pathological node is recommended as there are so many causes of lymph node enlargement and the main cause can be ruled out. Consult your primary physician about it.

I am writing in regards to nausea/vomiting and muscles spasms as a side effect from chemotherapy. I am am enquiring about the physiology behind why these things are happening inside my body. Also, is there anything that can be done to reduce the seizure like spams and violent vomiting.
|
Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. Nausea and vomiting is common side effects of chemotherapy. It is due to some toxic substance from cancer cells. Chat Doctor. You can take oral or injectable ondansetron to manage this vomiting. 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.

Im 34. Last night I had vision problems in my left eye had a flutter in my heart and then broke out into a sweat all while sitting down. Afterwards I had a throbbing headache....today no fluttering or eye problems but I have a slight heavy feeling in my chest...just wondering if it could just be stress
|
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Yes, possibility of stress related symptoms is more in your case. But better to first rule out arrhythmia (rhythm disturbances in heart) because it can cause Fluttering sensations in chest, headache, vision problem etc. So better to 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 other heart diseases. Sometimes, stress and anxiety can also cause similar symptoms. So 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.

Hi I started taking cerezette last week as i was on microgynon for 2 years but have constant headaches with it. I only took the cerezette pill for 5 days as my legs started to really hurt and ache and had constant headaches and nausea after the 3rd day on it. I couldn t take anymore I felt horrible. I have under active thyroid also. This is the 3rd day of not taking it and I have come on I ve made an apoinment to see the nurse but that s only in 2 weeks I m just a bit worried to why have come on when I m not supposed to?
|
Hi, Thanks for the query. Cerazette is progesterone only pill, it can cause some side effects like nausea, headache, belatedness etc. But these will usually subside soon. If you are having severe problem, you can stop the pill and use some additional method of contraception till you consult your doctor. And I think you mentioned bleeding. It could be with Chat Doctor. It will decrease soon, no need to worry. Take care.

Hi, I have tweaking & tight feeling in my head behind my ears continuously. Sometimes it gets very very tight behind the head right upto the neck on one side and then when it loosens up a bit I can feel some liquid moving behind my ears. When this happens I am not able to balance or look straight while standing and things get a little blurred. The state of imbalance continues for long. There are 3 main areas that get tight -- 1. Behind the right Ear.. 2. Upper part of the Nose 3. Forehead. What can this possibly be.. ??
|
Hi, thank you for providing the brief history of you. As you mentioned the balance and blurred vision along with abnormal tightness of muscles in the neck region. I will advise you to give first priority to your health and meet up a neurologist. Do not ignore the small and little signs what the body receives. Remember that prevention is better than cure. Once you meet a neurologist he will be able to assess you in detail, a course of symptomatic medicine will be initiated. Also, you may be asked for an MRI or CT scan. Which you please undergo as it will reveal a lot more of things. I hope you will take the wise decision. RegardsJay In Chat Doctor.

Im experiencing brown spotting. My menses ended last Saturday. My boyfriend and I were making love with our underwear on. But we did rub our parts against each other and he did finger me. All with our underwear on. However the spotting only occurred after 2 full days. Why is this so? And what does it mean?
|
Hi. At times a sexual encounter, even without penetration can cause hormonal fluctuations which can result in the presentation you are experiencing, but there are numerous other factors also that can cause such a presentation like stress, weight fluctuations, side effects of medications, birth control, etc. So please discuss the details with your doctor or write to me using our premium service. Best wishes.

I fell down a flight of stairs 10 days ago and the pain in my tailbone is excruciating. It hurts all the time, but It brings me to tears to do any barely lifting, standing on one leg (dressing), sitting, standing or walking for prolonged periods of time. Ive tried ice/heat and ibuprofen. Ive also tried pain patches, but I have a bad rash from them. Is there anything else I can try?
|
HIT hank for asking to ChatDoctorI can understand your problem even slight hair line fracture could cause such pain and this could be long-lasting, and you have to be patience and need to increase your pain bearing capacity, this may take at least couple of week, meanwhile you can take the \"Diclofenac\" 50 mg sustain release tab. This will give excellent result, nothing to worry about this, have nice day.

In the last two years, since my total knee relacement I have had back pain on only my right side. The pain is severe and in the right top side of my back and also the lumbar area and oftengoes down my leg. I have seen two orthopedic surgeons and two choirpracters. Nothing has helped me. I have also had many injections and take hydrocodone and naproxen.? Thank you Gloria
|
Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor. Looking to your query probably may be suffering from lumbar spondylosis. It is confirmed by x-ray lumbar spine AP and lateral view. It is going down your leg suggest nerve compression. It is confirmed by MRI LUMBAR SPINE. In this condition Diacerine50mg daily, glucosamine 1500 mg daily, methylcobalmine and analgesics(attract tablets after meals)will be helpful. Daily back exercises will be helpful.

Hi I have been diagnosed with scoliosis andi found out in middle school that i had it and ever since then i been having severe back pain in my lower back in the middle. I was told by a specialist that i have scoliosis but its in the upper part and its curve alittle, i explained to them it s not hurting in the upper part its in the lower part. I just found out i was born with it but it was never disguised or thought about bac then, and i want surgery so i can get it fix and stop the pain as well, what should i do and i dnt have no insurance wright im in the process of getting one.
|
Hello, I have studied your case. If on bending forward curve of scoliosis disappears then its functional if it persists on bending forward then its structural. You need to confirm which type you have. You may need MRI spine to get detail diagnosis. For symptoms analgesic and neurotrophic medication can be started. Till time, avoid lifting weights, Sit with support to back. You can consult physiotherapist for help. 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 I Have a question i just had sexual intercouarse and as soon as he took the condom out , he did something to it i guess pushed it up and it popped do i have anything to be worried about it didnt burst by my vanginal area im just making sure i dont have anything to be worried about
|
Hello Welcome to Chat Doctor. Thanks for posting your query. I understood your concern and as a doctor who has seen so many such cases, I can assure you that you can stop worrying and relax. As you told, if It's not anywhere near vagina then you need not worry Even if its near vagina and not entering into the vagina then you can sit back and relax. You can still do one more thing to clear all your doubts, wait for your monthly cycles and if you menstruate, then all your worry is out. Hope this helps you. In case you need any further assistance, you can get back to me, Thank you.

I just had sex recently, and I got sperm on my boob. I didnt notice it till the next day when I stood in front of my mirror. when I peeled the small amount of sperm off the tip off my boob I realized it looks like a ringworm. could it be a ringworm?

Hello, I had gone through your question and understand your concern. Short answer

Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ? Please type your query here...I have a lump on the back of my head i havent thought anything of it for awhile but now i feel it i believe it has grown and when i do i dont feel well and my head has a dull ache around the area. what do think
|
Welcome to Chat Doctor. 1. The possible cause could be lipoma in the first place - painless mass with dull ache.2. The other possible cause could be infective cause with the collection of the pus with in, followed by a Desmond in the bone.3. In this case I would recommend an ultrasound scan to evaluate the lesion weather solid cystic, muscular or osseous, and where it is extending to.4. If mass evaluated an FNAC- fine needle aspiration cytology will be helpful to find out cell nature.5. Dependind of findings a CT If necessary to make sure that there no skull or brain involvement. 6. In case of lipoma followup is needed. Good luck. Hope I have answered your query.Anything to ask do not hesitate. Thank you.

I m harsh.I am suffering from cough.I showed this to many Dr they told me that its simple cough n they gave me cough syrup. Whenever i m in tension or scared cough starts.so i dnt knw exactly.i am also suffering from dust problem.I never smoked in my life.my room partner use to smoke.but now i m living alone for last 2yrs.still i m facing the same prob
|
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Your cough is worsening by emotions (stress and tension). You are also having dust allergy. Both these characteristics are more in favor of asthma. So better to consult pulmonologist and get done clinical examination of respiratory system and PFT (Pulmonary Function Test).PFT will not only diagnose asthma, but it will also tell you about severity of the disease and treatment is based on severity only. You will mostly improve with inhaled bronchodilators (formoterol or albuterol) and inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) (budesonide or fluticasone).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.

I have difficulty swallowing dry mean/dry bread. It always come back up but when it finally goes down I no longer have problems finishing the meal. I also have eczema...I researched something called Eosinophilic Esophagitis...a condition people with eczema who usually have allergies get. Is there a home remedy for this until I get to see a doctor?
|
Hi, if swallowed food comes back even once its called as gastric reflux but if it happens repeatedly then it requires to be diagnosed so that we can understand what's actual problem. Now in your case if this is happening repeatedly then u need to see a gastroenterologist and yes don't try to search on portal to diagnose medical disease, although there are plenty of Information available on net but That's doctors job and u will never able to do that. Forget about eosinophilic esophagitis.
|
A friend of mine in Thailand has a son with what I strongly suspect is Icthyosis. My friend says he heard of an herbal remedy produced by a company in Connecticut. I have not been able to find anything on this remedy on the net. Do you know of anything that can help. The boy is about 20 and is beginning to have social problems due to the disease.
|
I don't aware about the medicine that u mentioned.ichthyosis diagnosed as genetic origin little time to take treat. Depending upon the severity and type of ichthyosis, affected individuals may need treatment from about 6 to12 months, in order to significantly improve from this condition. Ayurvedic treatment for this condition includes oral and external medication along with some diet restriction. If needed (yoga also)If u give a clear detail of this patient I can guide u more.

My daughter is 1 year 8 months. now she has got cold & cold with wheezing 4 times in past 6 months .Currently doctor has advised to use flohale inhaler for 6 months it is safe to use ihalers will kids get adicted to these kind of inhalers what other options do we have to prevent from getting cold & cough with wheezing problem
|
Hi Dear, Welcome to Chat Doctor. Understanding your concern. As per your query your daughter have symptoms of cough, cold along with wheezing which is due to respiratory tract infection. It could be due to poor immunity of body which increases susceptibility of getting infected. Need not worry. I would suggest you to visit pediatrician once and get it examined. You should get blood test and sputum test done. Start treatment after proper examination. Yes you can give child inhalation after complete prescription and do not give it for long time. Give child diet rich in multivitamins. Give plenty of fluids to child. Avoid cold liquids, spicy, oily and fried food. Take diet rich in multivitamins. You should gargle with saline water. You should take cough expectorants as well. Hope your concern has been resolved. Get Well Soon. Best Wishes,

Hello dairy understand your concerns you both failed, I would suggest you both to consult infertility specialist.

I am a 47yr old female, im 5ft 6 tall and weigh 8stone 7lb. I have been suffering nausea on and off for about three weeks, i think i may have lost some weight, even though i am still eating. My skin has become incredibly itchy the last few days. I have been suffering abdominal pro for the last year on and off. I have been seen by my gp who was convinced i have gallstones, i have had a scan and x-rays and no stones have showed up even though i get occasional discomfort under my upper right rib the pain raidiates through to my back.
|
Hi, rom your history it is most likely issue of Gall bladder or pancreas. A proper ultrasound examination, Liver function test, amylase in blood to be done to rule out that. Taking Proton pump inhibitors like Omeprazole (Medium) will be helpful to some extent. Avoid fatty spicy and oily foods. Cakes and yolk of egg should be avoided also. Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

I just noticed a large soft red swollen lump on back of 5 year old earlobe, where jawline meets earlobe and a smaller lump directly behind right earlobe where ear piercing is. She got her ears pierced about 4 months ago and changed earrings to gold plated silver a few weeks ago. We removed earrings. Lumps don t seem to be painful and she seems fine, no fever or pain, but does have some tiny red bumos/rash on skin around neck and elbows.
|
Thanks for asking on Chat Doctor. The lump is bodies excessive reaction to an injury, a condition called keloid. They are painless and often increase in size rather than going away. Unless they are itchy, you need not do anything. However, applying some steroid cream like HY Chat Doctor. That would reduce the localized inflammation which is causing the redness. For the skin rashes, giving some antiallergic like levocetirizine should be helpful. I hope that helps. Feel free to revert in case of further queries if any.

I was in a car accident in 2004 and my back has been chronically hurting since then. Its not a constant everyday thing, but there are days that I am immobile from the pain. Ive talked to several doctors in my area and I keep getting prescriptions that dont take away the pain. When I ask for something stronger, I get treated like an addict. Im 28 so perhaps my age factors into this idea of theirs and its easy to buy narcotic painkillers on the street where I live, but how can I make them see my legitimate need for pain relief?
|
HAI I'm Chat Doctor. You will require a muscle relaxant with an NSAID the pain is radiating to your legs you will require pelvic traction. T. Myoril 4\u00a0mg 1-0-1 for 7 days. Ultracet 1 tab most. Rantac 150\u00a0mg 1tab SOS Once your pain settles start on back strengthening exercises. Do not bend forward not pull or push heavy objectsAvoid lifting heavy weight your fat reduce your weights only western Commander toilet Take care.

I have taken a pregnancy test last night and it tested positive, I m going to purchase the abortion pill. Abortion is illegal in my country so the doctor will just be able to provide me with the pills. Is it safe for me to just go by the results of the pregnancy test that showed positive or should I go to the doctor and get a pregnancy test ? What is the difference between the store bought test and a test performed by a doctor ?
|
Hello dear, I understand your concern. In my opinion the positive urine pregnancy test suggests the presence of pregnancy. The pregnancy can be tested by blood Chat Doctor test, urine pregnancy test by strip. Ultrasound helps in knowing the age and well-being of pregnancy. The doctors also perform urine pregnancy test by strip method and there might not be any difference between the test performed on your own and the doctor performed one. Mostly the positive urine pregnancy test indicates pregnancy. I suggest you to take abortion pills under doctor supervision to avoid complications like incomplete abortion, heavy bleeding etc. Hope this helps. Best regards...

a few months ago, my wife and I tried the ChatDoctor injections to try to loose weight. After I stopped the injections, I notices a small lump under my skin in my stomach. It has gradually grown and is painful to the touch. I was told that it will go away in time, but I am getting worried. Any thoughts???
|
Hi, DEar, thanks for your query to Chat Doctor. I studied your query in depth.1-In My opinion the lump post-ChatDoctor in under your stomach skin, which is growing lately, is most-probalby an -injection abscess and needs urgent care from your doctor.2-Urgetnly consult surgeon, who would treat it as needed. May be by NSAIDs and antibiotics or by incision and Chat Doctor. 3-Hope this would solve your query.4-Wellcome for any more questions on new or this subject also... Have A Good Day.!!

Doctor, I herewith attached my wife s follicular scan Reports.As per the first Scan Report she has poly syst ovaries.As per the second Scan Report after taking Medicines And Injuctions,the follicle is in larger size.Also showing utreus as subseptate.Is there any chance for pregnancy and Ovulation?What is subseptate utreus?Please explain. Regards Justine George
|
Hi dear, Polycystic ovaries and substitute uterus bot causes problem in conceiving. However, if treated correctly, the chances of pregnancy are good. Polycystic ovaries hampers with ovulation and can be managed medically and if required a laparoscopic treatment may be needed. Subseptate uterus is a condition where the uterine cavity is partially divided into two halves by a septum or a division. This hampers not with conception but implantation of fetus and can result in repeated abortions. It requires surgical management where the septum has to be removed. Your wife should be treated for the two before trying for conception. In modern era and good treatment options the chances of your wife getting pregnant is pretty good. All the best

Just home from robotic lathroscopic hysterectomy. Total hysterectomy with rectocele correction and removal of skin tag near rectum. Experiencing a lot of soreness yet in the abdomen, Very sore and burning rectal area. Trying to keep on top of this with Advil (2 every four to six hours) /been sleeping in recliner. Hurts to sit on hard surface.How long does it take for the abdominal/bloat/gas to dissapate? With the rectal area stitches, I feel a constant burning in the vaginal/rectal area. Is the rectocele repair part of this discomfort. Felt pretty good in the hospital with the IV pain drugs and then had trouble with hydrocodone and constipation. Switched to Advil only.Help???
|
Hi, you had robotic laparoscopic total hysterectomy. There will be so many complicated stitches and contractions, you may have all these for nearly 10 days, if it exceeds you consult your surgeon for follow up. It may also be due to anxiety and tension. I to my patient with such symptoms as usually happen to occur prescribe alprazolam .5 mg HS for few days. And continue the antibiotic for few more days. Thank you.

Hi I am 28 years old female recently got married me and my husband use pull back behind while having sex .....I have PCOD from last 2 years.. but I get my periods every month ....Recently my periods are delayed by 10-15 days ....I took home pregnancy test twice one in last week and one today botChatDoctore negative.......But I am having constant backache,Nausetic feeling.....please let know are there any chance of me being pregnant ???
|
Hi, Ovulation is rare and irregular in POD and as such, periods may get irregular. Still, with Chat Doctor. As your home pregnancy tests are negative, it is unlikely that you are pregnant. Yet, you may get a better confirmation through serum beta-ChatDoctor measurement and a trans-vaginal sonogram. If pregnancy has been ruled out, you would need a complete hormonal profile to see if there is a hormonal supplementation that is needed. Hope this helps. Take care.

Hi doctor, I am in 18th day and had an injection(fertigen) on 14th day and on 16th day went for scan and they have told my follicles are ruptured. we have been in ic from 12th day till the 17th day. I have been suffering from backache and leg cramps from yesterday. What are my chances of pregnancy. do i need to continue ic or stop. Please advice me docto
|
Hello. Thanks for writing to us. Since the follicles have ruptured, the chances of pregnancy are present. You need to continue with the treatment prescribed to you. For the leg cramps, do increase your fluid intake and get a mild painkiller prescribed from your gynecologist. I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you. You can consult me again directly through my profile URL http

|
Hello dear. Understand your concern. Look every contraceptive method have some side effects & failure rate.felon have also miner side effect & failure rate like another contraceptive method. But it is more safe than I pill 5 times a month. So I advised to take felon instead of I pill. That much use of I pill increase chance of miscarriage in future life. While felon don't do that harm to you. Hope this will guide you. Best regards Chat Doctor.

|
Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor, It is a good sign that your follicle grown up to 18.3 mm, and after In it ruptured also. Your chances of conception is high when you have intercourse up to 48 hours of rupture. After that you should not have intercourse. You may ask your Doctor for Natural vaginal Pessary for progesterone Hormones, or oral Progesterone, and Low does Aspirin. Do not start these medications before consulting your Doctor. Wish you the best. Chat Doctor.

I have a stress test scheduled for tomorrow morning and I m concerned that I forgot that I was not supposed to have caffeine and had a cup of coffee. Do I need to cancel? They re expecting me at 8
|
Hello dear, Coffee contains caffeine which acts as a stimulant. So, there are chances that it may interfere with the interpretation of the results of stress test. Effects of caffeine reaches it's peak by 30-60 minute of consumption & then starts decreasing thereafter. So, it is better to have a gap of 24 hours. Kindly discuss regarding this with your treating doctor. Wishing you a good health. Take care.

hello, im angela. i get a knot in my lower back and i feel i have to crack it, which i lie on my foor and strech my back, it cracks. i have no pain but i can feel a knot. when im in bed i wake up to strech. sometimes it aches. i cant lie on my side when i sleep as i can feel it i have to lie on my back when im a sleep. i do this all the time and at nite. im 36 female, 9 and a half stone. i work as a carer and i have 2 children. xxx i did go to my GP he gave me some pain killers and told me to exercise that was last year. it been going on for about 4 years
|
Hello, Thanks for your query. Knot in lower back likely to be due to a muscular spasm. Taking mild painkillers and muscle relaxants will bring a short term relief. Regular stretching exercise will be helpful. You can do a hot fomentation and apply a local analgesic gel on the area to relieve the spasm. If this persists I suggest you to get it evaluated by an orthopaedician. I do hope that you have found something helpful, and I will be glad to answer any further query. Take care

i have irritant contact dermatitis caused by laundry gel; went to doctor given timodine cream which burnt the genital skin area even worse then given double base gel cream which also burnt . . . .went back to doctor given fexofenadine 180mg tablets one per day along with clarithromycin 500mg twice a day and prednisolone 20mg per day skin is no better after a week it is burning and itching . . . improves slightly after a cool bath more cream and then when i walk / drive which i have to do it is as bad again Got another week or tablets any idea as to what else i can try or do to fix this as soon as possible its been going on since middle of june and im crying with pain at times and the skin is agony . . . i rang A&E but they are for accident or life threatening and not a GP condition . . . . want to sort this asap as i have only had to have 5 doctor appointments in the last 26 years 100% truthfully; i am never ill ! Until now and feel awful cos of the burnt skin and pain
|
Hi!! I have gone through your history, and you need to apply high potency topical steroids like clobetasol propionate cream on the burnt skin. You can continue with prednisolone 20\u00a0mg tablet and fexofenadine 180\u00a0mg tablet but also add tablet levocetrizine 5\u00a0mg to be taken at night daily. Besides this don't use soap on the burnt skin and wash the area with only plain water. This will surely help you.

I am currently taking flucloxocillin for a boil that i have i know about the side affects but did not see anything about mmy period being late or missing altogether. I am 6 days late and have done a pregnancy test and it came back negative. could this be because of the antibiotic
|
Hi, Flucloxacillin is an antibiotic commonly prescribed to treat infections caused by susceptible bacteria like skin and wound infections. Its common side effects include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, bloating and indigestion. It is not known to cause delayed menstrual period. Delayed period could be due to infection, stress, change of job or place, or hormonal disorders. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Im 60 yrs old, had brachytherapy for prostate cancer in June. Approx. 3 weeks ago (9 weeks since radiation) I have been having great difficulty beginining my urine stream. The urgency to go is great, but especially at night I cannot start the stream. My anus seems to contract and spasm while at the urinal. Eventually a dribble will ensue and minutes later Ill feel releived. This is very uncomfortable for the duration but no lasting pain following. Im usually back again an hour later, throughout the night Initially, following the radiation, I was prescribed Flomax. That was changed about 8-9 weeks later, by a Urologist, now Im on Trospium Chloride 20 MG once a day, andAlfuzosin HCL ER 10 MG once at bedtime.

My sister has breast cancer and its now spread to the liver and spine she is South Africa. the doctors said her liver is enlarged now. Are there any suppliments that I could buy to help her secondly, what are her chances or how long roughly are we looking at? some days she is constantly vomiting and diarhea all day. please tell me something
|
Hi, breast cancer involving liver needs chemotherapy treatment, provided the bilirubin is normal or less than 1.5 gm/ DL. If that's not the case, we should give her good supportive care, which includes medicines for vomiting, loose motion, and pain. I think you must take her to medical oncologist as the bottom line is, if we can control the disease with chemotherapy we should use it and if not at least we should support her last 2 to 6 months. We can't live her like this. Take care.

I ve developed some nose issues over the last 2 years I guess. I went to get things checked out, and got medicine to help with some of the symptoms (the doctor said I was allergic to cedar pollen). My symptom is I always feel congested. Although I have been using the prescribed medicine, I do find it easier to breath but I still feel there is mucus and I can t seem to get rid of it. It is also bloody at times. When I try to blow my nose nothing comes out really, or if it does it s mostly blood. How can I get rid of this blood and mucus and clear up my nostrils.

Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ? Please type your query here... I have had my 8 year old s urine tested and it is all clear, but before going to bed he visits the toilet 6 or 7 times. He strains to get a dribble out each time. He does one big wee and then the rest are a struggle. He said it is annoying. Nothing hurts.
|
Hello, thanks for asking on Chat Doctor. Seems like all is well. Might be that psychologically the child feels that he should not wet the bed at night and pass as much urine before sleeping as possible. It is more in the mind than the body I guess. Try to talk to him, maybe he has some anxiety. On the other hand you can get blood sugar tested, to rule out type 1 diabetes. However, it seems all is ok. Hope I answered your query. Thanks.

Hi, my husband and I are TTC. We had sex Friday/Sunday/Tuesday/Thursday/Saturday this past week. I should have ovulated sometime between Wednesday and Yesterday. I have been very bloated and cramping slightly all week. Could these be implantation cramps?
|
Hello dairy understand your concernImplantation bleeding and cramp occur around the time of the menstrual period. It is very early to tell about the implantation cramp. Your symptoms could be due to ovulation, hormone imbalance. Wait for the period to come. If period will delay by more than 8-10 days then go for urine pregnancy test and or blood Chat Doctor to confirm the pregnancy. Take tablet metals spas for crampTablet Gas-X Take small frequent meal, Chat Doctor.

I just had my kidney stones blasted with I believe sound waves. After 10 days, my urine now smells similar to the spray that a cat uses to mark their territory! Sometimes my urine is also dark red. While my doctor said I might occasionally see red in my urine, she didn t mention the development of this odor. Please advise.
|
HelloThanks for your query, based on the facts that you have posted it appears that you have undergone Lithography for kidney stone last week and new have Hematuria and passing smelly urine. This is common to happen after lithography. Hematuria is due to trivial injury to the kidney by source of energy used for blasting the stone. This usually gets resolved within a week by Chat Doctor. As regards smelly urine due to fragmentation or cracks in the stone after blasting it the bacteria concentrated in the sides (Center) of the stone are liberated, and they cause infection of the urinary system (UTI) and there are basic constituents of the stone like phosphates, oxalate are freed in urine which becomes smelly. Both these problems are common after lithography and get cured with taking antibiotics for a week and

Hi i have been experiencing random gasping for air (lasting about a second) throughout the day for this past month. It feels like my heart has flipped inside my chest and i making a gasping noise like ive forgotten to breathe.I also feel a dizziness or a mini mind blank which last 2 seconds now and again. This also has just started in this last month. I feel like my brain switches off for those 2 seconds. Its quite frightening. Any ideas of what it might be?
|
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Possibility of stress and anxiety related symptoms is more. But better to rule out cardiac and Pulmonary causes for this. So first get done ECG and 2d echo to rule out cardiac diseases. Get done chest x-ray and PFT (Pulmonary Function Test) to rule out lung pathology. If all these reports are normal than possibility of stress and anxiety as a cause for these symptoms is more. So better to consult psychiatrist and get done counseling sessions. Try to identify stressor in your life and start working on its solution. You may need additional anxiolytic Chat Doctor. So avoid stress and tension, be relaxed and calm. Don't worry, you will be alright. Hope I have solved your query. Wish you good health. Thanks.

Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. GGT is an enzyme. It increases in homeostasis. You may have intro hepatic or extra hepatic homeostasis. You should go for ultrasound abdomen and complete liver function test. Then you should take treatment accordingly.

Hello, I am a 35 year old male, and aside from high blood pressure and high cholesterol (both treated by medication ), I am in very good health. Last week I went to my doctor for a routine physical, and he was alarmed at my total bilirubin level of 1.8. It had always been 0.6 or 0.4 in the past. He also was surprised at a 60 point jump in my cholesterol level, despite my being on medication for that, and having it be stable for many years. I am having another test done in two weeks, but now paranoia has set in as I find every on-line article about elevated bilirubin levels being potential signs of cancer (or gallstones). I could not find anywhere what the typical high total bilirubin levels are in cancer patients, so I do not know how my 1.8 level compares. I would like to know this if possible, and also, is a spike in the bilirubin level likely to happen for any other reason? It does not seem to fluctuate like sugar levels or blood pressure can, so I am worried that it is an indicator of something bad. Any information regarding that type of bilirubin level would be very greatly appreciated. And also, would there typically be other indicators present at the same time in a blood test that would indicate cancer as a possibility? Thank you very much. Sincerely, Marc YYYY@YYYY 2-23-13 UPDATE
|
Hello, caucus, Let me assure you that you don't have liver or pancreas cancer. Bilirubin is a combination of conjugated and conjugated, that indirect and indirect components. Usually the Direct fraction is more than the indirect. The total can fluctuate anywhere from 1.2 -1.4 mg/DL. In your case you have a slightly higher indirect fraction. This is very commonly seen as a fasting hyperbilirubinemia. There are rare genetic disorders such as Gilbert's syn Chat Doctor. This is a benign condition and the bilirubin levels go up more during infections, stress etc. Condition is diagnosed by liver biopsy. Very rarely this is associated with pigment gallstones. As for cholesterol levels, if you had a rich fatty meal the day before, even if the blood was

I am 13 weeks pregnant I have A negative blood group and my husband is A positive. I lost a pregnancy 3 years ago but had the anti d vaccine. I have just received some blood results taken last week which show
|
Hi, I understand your concern. * Your indirect Combs test confirms a good effect of anti D you had taken during last pregnancy. So your blood is not sensitized for Rh + ve blood. This assures no chances of complications in your self & your fetus this time. Still in Rh incompatibility, pregnancy has to be strictly under doctors vigilance & care. All the instructions should be followed positively, for a good pregnancy outcome. * Pa pain test + ve indicates presence of hormone Pa pain in blood. It's an extract of fruit papaya. And is given in pain, inflammation conditions. It is not indicated in pregnancy . As it cause blood thinning & may cause excessive bleeding. This does not affect your baby at all. Please don't worry. It just gives information to the treating doctor who has to be careful in avoiding Pa pain containing medicines & to avoid stop eating Papaya (Raw/) to avoid problem at the time of delivery. Thanks.

Hi, I experienced frequent chest pain on the left that last less than 2 minutes. Besides, I m having back pain and blurred vision for the past two weeks. Two weeks ago, I was diagnosed with hypertension after I complaint to the doctor about my very bad headache. but currently I m not under medication for hypertension. Could the chest pain relate to high blood pressure.
|
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Yes, possibility of hypertension related chest pain is more in your case. Your headache, back pain and blurred vision are also due to hypertension. You are also not taking any treatment fir hypertension, so possibility of heart disease is more. So consult cardiologist and get done 1. Blood pressure monitoring 2. ECG 3. 2d echo 4. Stress test (trade mill test). Strict control of blood pressure is needed. Avoid salt in diet. Do regular aerobic exercise like running, cycling, swimming etc. And please start antihypertensive Chat Doctor. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.

Is there any research that points to the use of Saw Palmetto as an anticoagulant for AF therapy? I have been prescribed Eliquis 5mg BID, received a free 30 day supply, but most likely won t be able to afford it. I experienced GI bleeding when I took Pradaxa. I am a 75 yr old man diagnosed with AF appx. 10 yrs ago. Thanks, gary
|
Hello siren my opinion, saw palmetto is basically the American dwarf palm tree. The extracts of its fruit have been used to treat benign prostatic hypertrophy in elderly. However, international guidelines as based on various large center clinical trials DO NOT recommend its use. For Atrial fibrillation, there is NO ROLE of saw palmetto. As a professional advice, I would recommend you to continue on oral anticoagulants. There are multiple options available suiting your affordability. Pl discuss the same with your cardiologist. Thanks

Hi I just got all my wisdom teeth pulled this last Thursday and Im concerned that my left side might be infected. There is kind of a yellowish substance sitting on top of the lower tooth but it is painless. Im feeling a little bit nauseous and a little light headed. Is this normal?
|
Hello, Welcome Thanks for consulting Chat Doctor, you have got all wisdom teeth extracted, and now you are feeling nausea and light headless nothing to worry about it take proper medication prescribed by your dentist and proper diet it may be due to weakness also and yellowish substance that you are feeling may be soft deposits of food maintain proper oral hygiene and if pain occurs Thant go to consult your dentist.

my 5 year old was seen today and we were told he needs to have a procedure done asap but i cannot remember the name of what is wrong. the hole at the end of his penis is partially blocked and they will be opening it up his US showed that he has quite a bit of thickening on his bladder wall as well
|
Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor. The procedure you are asking about most probably is meat/urethral dilatation. The partial blockade can be caused by urinary tract infection, inflammation or irritation caused by rubbing of penis against nappy/diaper area. Natural chemicals inside urine can build up and accommodate as crystals in diaper can also cause inflammation leading to partial blockage. Apart from dilatation I would like to advise a visit to urologist so that underlying cause can be treated accordingly. Thank you for using Chat Doctor. Good luck.

I have a swollen area over a broken tooth . It is above the top of the tooth where the cheek meets the gum. I can t see it, but can feel it. ThEre is no pain associated with it but some pressure if I press on my cheek right below the cheekbone near my nose. And my nose runs. Sould I be worried about a dental access, or is it more likely related to a sinus infection? My ears have been clogged up for weeks since allergy season started but my noes isn t too stuffy.
|
HelloWelcome to ChatDoctorI read your problem & would like to tell you that if you have broken teeth & swelling adjacent to that then it can be due to some abscess formation. I would like to ask you that is there any pus discharge from same tooth?? You need to get an IOP AR done for same tooth for getting it properly treated. You might also have problem of sinusitis because of other symptoms like running nose. You need to consult your dentist as well as ENT specialist for same without making any further delay. Take Disregards Chat Doctor.

One of my family members recently found out she has hpv and she uses a wash rag for her body and vagina when she showers with her daughter and uses the same rag on her daughter. Can her 5 year old daughter contract hpv that way? also recently this family member licked all over my sons ice cream from keeping it from melting and handed it over to my son at this time my 5 year old sons lips were chapped and he had 2 small open cuts as well, could he contract hpv that way ?

Hello, thank you for using Chat Doctor. I read your query and understand. An HPV infection is caused by human papillomavirus, a virus from the papillomavirus family, of which over 170 types are known. More than 40 types are transmitted through sexual contact and infect the anus and genitals. Risk factors for persistent HPV infections include early age of first sexual intercourse, multiple partners, smoking, and poor immune function.HPV is typically spread by sustained direct skin-to-skin contact with vaginal and anal sex being the most common methods. Occasionally, it can spread from a mother to her baby during pregnancy. It does not spread via common items like toilet seats. It is not found in saliva so is not transmitted by licking. Hope my answer was helpful. Best Regards.

the patient is 68 yrs old male diabetic with spinal TB. D5,D1 are disorganised , with para vertebral expansion causing posterier displacement ,inhomogeneous marrow signal at DI & D5. Pls. advise procedure for cure and diet for proper nutrition. Thank you.
|
Hi, The regimen for spinal TB is the same as the one with pulmonary tuberculosis for most patients. You will need to take them for a period of 6 months. Please first consult with the spine specialist and get a thorough physical examination done. If biopsy too has confirmed TB you can get started with the regimen and follow it up with the physician at regular intervals for blood and liver checks. As for the nutrition, it is best to have a protein dominant diet. I suggest you fix an appointment with your dietitian to give you the detailed list of foods to include in your diet.

Hi, I am sakshi. my sister is suffereing from some mental illness from last 2 years, though she was very bright student earlier with no past history of such illness . Doctor has prescribed 10 mg olimelt to her . she feel as if some one is chasing her and also has written her name on all public places and trying to harm her image. she doesnt take medicenes on her own, we have to give her medicine in her food. Request you to please let me know how much time will it take to get this p[roblem cured. She is 29 years old and we want her to ge married.
|
Hi, Aliment or olanzapine is an antipsychotic medication indicated in many psychiatric conditions. The feeling of being chased, is a part of what is called a delusion, where in one harbors false beliefs. It can be present in many psychiatric disorders. The prognosis of her condition would depend on the diagnosis. Most psychiatric conditions are chronic and need medications for few years after the symptoms have been controlled to prevent a relapse. It may take longer in some patients. The treating psychiatrist will be best able to tell you. Hope this helps, Chat Doctor.

Hi, my sister has a benign lipoma in her left wrist. She has had it since she was little and she s now 28. She has had surgery on it three times now, but doctors haven t been able to remove it because it s intertwined with nerves. Earlier today, it started to hurt more than usual and get really hot. She tried putting ice on it to cool it down, but it only helped a little and it quickly got hot again after the ice was taken off. Is this something we should be concerned about? Or is there something we can do for it?
|
Hi. Thanks for your query. If the swelling is recurrent-coming again and again after surgery and is on the wrist-this is not a lipoma. Most probably this will be a ganglion. As the ganglion is connected to the wrist joint, it comes again.Now-at the moment this looks to be infected, so got painful and red. I would advise visiting an Orthopedic Surgeon and start antibiotic and anti-inflammatory medicines. It is possible that you may have to take antibiotics for a long time. This may itself get a cure due to infection in the sac. IF you wish you can go for an MRI - as this gives the diagnosis, connection to the joint, relation to the nerves and other important structure, and make easy for a final treatment.

i have been have irregular periods from the beginning.i got married at 19 and had a baby girl at 20(normal delivery)now its been 5 years now.i planned to have a baby a year ago but still have not.infact my periods are now become once in two months and most of the time it comes only after i take medicines......just want to make my periods regular and what should i do to get pregnant .is it safe to take medicine to get my periods every month thank you
|
Hello, thank you for asking for a help. The treatment you are following for your irregular delayed cycles is very wrong. Your problem can be called as secondary infertility. You need to look for an obstetrician as soon as possible. You may need hormonal study as well as ultrasound guided ovulation study. Kindly don't self-medicate your self each time your cycles are delayed, as this has its own side effects and may decrease your chance of further conception. Do consult a good doctor and undertake all the required investigations, and see an infertility clinic if required. Thank you take care

Hi, Doctor, My SGPT ALT level is 50 at morning without taking any diet, but later on in the middle of day its rise up to 64, I control my diet for one week with only boiled vegetables and juice of cucumber and reddish but unable to control. and please also tell what will effect if I take one cap of Geriatric Pharmaton.
|
Hi. Thanks for posting query at Chat Doctor. Usually ALT or AST values higher than \"two times the upper normal limit\", is considered abnormal (in some countries, ALT or AST values of more than 100 are considered abnormal). Value of AST or ALT greater than 85 or above maybe investigated further. Alcohol ingestion and obesity are common causes of fatty liver disease. Hep B and C should also be ruled out. Advice (for 2 weeks)

Hello, My mother (50 years old) has been having discontinuous chest and upper back pains for about 2 weeks now. Im worried she might be showing symptoms of breast cancer or a pending heart attack. Shes been under a lot of stress and has gone through a lot these past 5 months, is there a possible chance that these pains are a result of stress? Also, my mothers sister and mother were diagnosed and both died of breast cancer, so its in the family. Ive been begging her to go get a mammogram and a blood test. She finally agreed to it and went to the clinic for a blood test today--the results will be out in 10 days and then shed go ahead and get a mammogram. But please, any kind of help until then would be much appreciated. Thank you.
|
HelloWelcome to Chat Doctor Chest and back pain are non-specific symptoms and can occur in so many conditions including stress and anxiety. She should undergo periodic screening mammogram and since she has family history she should be more careful about it. Regarding chest pain and backache, apart from blood test she might need to undergo chest x-ray and ECG to rule out any serious heart/lung condition, Regards

Hello Miami have read the details provided by you and I understand your concern for starting your family. Making a right treatment decision for Rheumatic heart disease patient is a multidisciplinary approach taking into consideration History, physical examination and some tests like ECHOCARDIOGRAPHY. After echo, we can be sure how much severe is the disease and what treatment option will suit the best. So I would like to advise you to consult a cardiologist personally, get an echocardiography done, and then the right plan will be decided. After treatment a three to six months wait before conceiving is usually advised. Wish you all the best

|
Hello,As you are having a problem of premature ejaculation it seems by your complaints. Firstly proper medication and few relaxation techniques will relieve your problem to a good extent. I suggest your treating doctor to add following medications-Tab fluoxetine 20 mg once in Morningstar clonazepam 0.25 mg one during bedtime, continue treatment for at least 2 months. You need to get prescription from your doctor. Remember apprehension and worry about it will further add to your existing problem. Do moderate exercise in evening. Practice deep breathing techniques may prove helpful and avoid caffeine intake after 6 pm. Thank you.

Hi, Its suggestive of side effect of Concordat 5. Concord 5 MG is commonly used to treat high blood pressure and other heart diseases. Its most common side effects include low blood pressure, decreased heart beats, flushing, fatigue, muscle pain and impotency. Consult your treating doctor for a possible dose reduction of Concordat or an effective alternate but a safer Chat Doctor. Vitamin E or D is unlikely to cause muscle pain. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Crimson 35 is contraceptive. Austen taken from D5 x 20\u00a0days will act as contraceptive. No need to take Unfasten (D16-25) if ovulation is occurring with iPhone. Just confirm that ovulation is occurring with iPhone & can try naturally/GUI. One cycle of iPhone in ovulatory woman(In PCs) will give 20-25% chance of conception if both tubes are patent & semen analysis is normal. (Half the chance with one tube patent). Can continue iPhone +/- GUI.

I suffer with PSVT and recently began using Visalus shake mix and it bothers my tachycardia, makes my heart race...the ingredients do not list caffeine or other stimulants, which usually bother my heart so what is in it that could make my heart race? the only thing in there that normally bother me is artificial sweetener
|
Hello and thank you for using Chat Doctor. I carefully read your question and I understand your concern. I will try to explain you something and give you my opinion. Paroxysmal supra ventricular tachycardia has to do with a rhythm issue. It is an electrical impulse that generates from a part of the heart different from normal sinus rhythm. It causes this fast beats, and you might experience palpitation, strong beating, difficulties in breathing deeply and anxiety. There are some factors that might house arrhythmia in general. Sometimes they are idiopathic, without an identified cause, it is just a pathology of electric system of the heart and the only solution is to take medication to control them. As you already know there are some factors that might exacerbate the symptoms likes trees, coffee or energy Chat Doctor. It is mandatory to avoid them. You say that what you are

Hello. My husband, who is 53, a construction worker has been diagnosed with celluitits of head just behind his right ear spreading down his neck. He was diagnosed by a doctor on call, over the phone. He was prescribed 40mg of pepcid, 10 mg of Zertec, cephallexin 500mg 4xday, prednisone 20mg. He has taken two days worth of medication. Tonight I noticed that he has an all over body rash. Small pimples widely spread out on his body, red around, some scabbed over. They appear to be random, but consistant. Not bunched together. Sparse over his forearms and lower legs, more over his torso, and chest, and back. He was also prescribed pain medication, which has helped his pain significantly. I did not notice the rash before, but from the looks of it, it has been there, when his symptoms started around 5 days ago. Should we consult the doctor with this new observation?
|
Hi, It looks like the rashes are spreading all over the body & are becoming itchy. You are recommended to get physically examined, as the prescribed medicines that you have been taking could not effectively control the rashes. You will have to go through some investigations to rule out Contact dermatitis, Eczema or Shingles. Get evaluated, you need medications (antibiotics/antivirals), you may need intravenous IV support as sometimes the rashes affect the blood & lymphatic system & it may become life-threatening. In the meantime take bath regularly, maintain good personal hygiene, abstain from sex & addictions if any. For relieve from pain, take Ibuprofen or Acetaminophen (Tylenol). Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

I bent over and stood back up while taking a breath and something messed up my thorastic spine. I have really bad pain when I stand up, back, stoamach, or if I move at all. Only relief is lying on my side. when my wife feels my back 2 vertebras that are about 6 inches apart are sticking out and if I push anywhere on my lower back it makes my middle back hurt.
|
Hi and thank you so much for this query. I am so sorry to hear about what you experienced. Please, get consulted for your back to be evaluated. You would need at least and X-ray to understand what the real problem is before pursuing further investigations and proposing specific management for you. I hope you find this helpful. Thank you so much for using our services, and please do feel free to ask for clarifications if need be. I wish you the best of health.

I have stage 4 cancer 2 years...undetermined primary...tumor on hip bone...now spread to ribs...heavy chemo 1/10...given 6 mos. now back (almost 18 mos.)... spread to rib (bones...secondary)...now chemo every 3 wks. for rest of life...on my 3rd round of 3 wks test now show high alt/sgpt and low albumin. what can i do to help high. Read I need to increase protein intake for high. What if anything I can do to lower high alt/sgpt? Every doctor I have seen says that they have never seen this before....some are quite enjoying specimun (me). Been to mant top cancer centers so I feel quite satisfied that we have correct diagnosis....undetermined.
|
HI Welcome to Chat Doctor Very sorry for your condition. See your SGPT/Alt is high because of two reasons. 1, Chemotherapy. 2. Could be a spread to Liver. Ask your Oncologist to either change the chemo regime or reduce the dose (if possible) as that might help your Alt levels. I also advise you to take Header 1 sachet every day for 1 month.

Ive had pinworms for nearly 8 years. When I first contracted them, they were terrible. Probably hundreds of them. Now they come and go in smaller groups. Ive taken the prescription pill and am a very clean person. I dont bite my nails and I dont understand why they wont go away.

Hellos you mentioned that you are a victim of PIN WORM, also known as entertains vernaculars. As you mentioned that you have taken a full course for pin worm. Still you are having pin worm after 8 yrs of treatment. Because of the ease of person-to-person spread, pin worm infections are common among family members and institutionalized population, so complete treatment and eradication is necessary and important. Dosage schedule is as

My husband and I just returned from France and have contracted a cold virus - runny nose, congestion, cough, headache, ear ache, and frequent urination, sometimes uncontrolled - for both of us. Could a virus give us these symptoms? We were not on a farm but in the city in France.
|
Hi, thanks for using Chat Doctor The common cold is a viral illness. It would cause the runny nose, nasal congestion, cough, headache and ear pain (though ear pain may sometimes occur with bacterial infection as well). Frequent urination can occur with urinary tract infection which is a bacterial infection that would require antibiotic therapy. A urine test at your doctor's office would determine if a urinary tract infection is present. I hope this helps

Other causes of mouth foaming after death needs to be fixed by autopsy before giving exact cause of death in your friends case. Cause of this purple face and foaming mouth after death could be due to-due many reasons-cardiac/respiratory failure/could be from poisoning / or death from sleep apnea. Review of the other causes is needed for proper diagnosis of death in your friends case. You need to take opinion from -family doctor and Coroner and forensic expert doctor. For this to verify Second opinion from family doctor/ Physician/forensic doctor - would be needed. Just don't worry and be patient and co-operate with your doctors, till you verify with your attending doctors. Hope this would help you to treat your health issues in the best way possible.

Hi there! Last night I landed very hard on my head and back. Luckily I was wearing a bike helmet. My back hurts and my neck hurts as well. But the next day my centre of my chest hurts a lot when i breath deeply or cough. What could be the issue and should I seek medical attention?
|
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. You are having blunt chest trauma due to accident. So we need to rule out these things first as blunt chest trauma can cause all these. 1. Rib fracture2. Pneumothorax3. Pulmonary contusions4. Muscular injury etc. So chest x-ray is needed to rule out all these. If chest x-ray is normal than you mostly have muscular injury only. So try to follow these steps for better symptomatic relief. 1. Avoid heavy weight lifting and strenuous exercise. 2. Avoid bad postures in sleep. 3. Take good painkiller and muscle relaxant. 4. Apply warm water pad on affected site.

I have under gone Angioplasty years back. Ihave been advised Lipi ez 10 mg at bed time. My Lipid profile is below normal limit but SGPT is 123 and CPK value is 315 measured by Spectrophotometry method. Should I continue with same drug and dose in future. Kindly advise me.R.N.L.Srivastava Kanpur
|
Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You are taking lip EZ. It contains atorvastatin. It is used to control high cholesterol and triglyceride level and to increased HDL level. Your lipid profile is below normal but after angioplasty it is mandatory and should be taken life long. Your SGPT and CPK is high, but it may be due to some other reason. Consult your doctor and search the cause of high CPK and SGPT and 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.

yes, i was wondering ... I just vomited A LOT of blood while in the shower... i do smoke cigarettes, about a pack per day and may have breast cancer... also i am a 39 yr old male, smoked for 32 yrs.... anyway what could this mean. it was a mix of dark red and bright red... threw it up 5 times tonight and before this happened, i had chills and felt dizzy and weak...
|
You're vomiting a large amount of blood as is clear from your description could mean one of 2 things, considering your smoking history. Either you have developed stomach ulcers which have now started bleeding. This is quite common in smokers. Or, you have developed stomach cancer which is now bleeding. This is also possible in long term smokers. What you need to do urgently is to see a gastroenterologist and get an endoscopy done through your mouth or nose. That will differentiate between the 2, locate the exact site of bleeding, and if required stop any active bleed. The chills, dizziness and weakness was due to sudden blood loss. You may need a blood transfusion also depending on your hemoglobin. Meanwhile, Chat Doctor.

Hi I am 32 years married. I am having polycystic ovaries my periods is irregular doctor advised me to take ovasafe tablet Evatone glyconet aloes compound my last LMP was 11 Feb doctor advised me to take follicular study and mybfollicule ruptured after putting gonadotrophiin injectionwen can I do the pregnancy test plz advice will pregnancy test be positive
|
Hi there,You should check for pregnancy 2 weeks after the Chat Doctor injection taken for follicular rupture. With ovulation induction with clomiphenne there is 15% chance per cycle of conception. It is good that you have undergone follicular monitoring, and you should take tablet phaeton for endometrial support till you do the pregnancy test. Also continue folic acid, glycogen till then. Hope this helps. Regards.

I fell on the front of my right leg/knee on some hard rough concrete a few days ago. i have a small wound 4 inches below the knee cap. I felt sick to my stomach for about an hour but was able to walk on it. It never turned black and blue. The next day it felt great. Now the front of my leg is simi numb and tingling but my calf is fine.
|
Hi Dear, Welcome to Chat Doctor. Understanding your concern. As per your query you have numbness on the leg after falling down. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like nerve injury, hematoma, inflammation or fracture. I would suggest you to consult orthopedic surgeon for proper examination. Doctor may order CT scan, or X-ray along with physical examination. Doctor may give plaster, prescribe muscle relaxant, anti-inflammatory. Doctor may also Chat Doctor. For now apply cold compresses and keep your leg elevated. Hope your concern has been resolved. Get Well Soon. Best Wishes,

Hi I have recently noticed that I have some bumps around the shaft of my penis after masturbation. I do masturbate frequently and sometimes I feel that I dont keep my penis completely sanitary. The bumps seem to dissipate at times but then come back. Im worried that they may be genital herpes.
|
HiT hank you for asking ChatDoctorI have gone through your query. Genital herpes can be presented as cracked or red areas or blisters. In some it is accompanied by fever and lymph node enlargement. But a yeast infection can be mistaken for that as you may get somewhat same appearance. A physical examination with a dermatovenerologist will help to rule out that. Genital herpes is treated with antiviral Chat Doctor. Ointment of acyclovir is also used for local application. Medication helps to decrease the duration and frequency of outbreaks. Hope this may help you. Let me know if you have any further query.

Gud evening Doctors, I am already married for 15 yrs. but sad to say til now I cant bare a child due to my hormonal imbalance. My ob gave me duphaston for my menstruation to be maintained monthly since I have an irregular mestruation and polycystic ovaries. I really wanted to become pregnant please help me. What should I do?
|
Hi, Thanks for writing to Chat Doctor. Get your thyroid profile, FSH and LH and prolactin levels checked. Correct them accordingly. Since It's so long for your marriage. I suggest you to discuss with your doctor regarding use of ovulation inducing Chat Doctor. This will help multiple follicles to mature and rupture. You need to monitor your follicle growth. Get your tubal patency done and go for GUI. Here healthy sperms are selected and placed in uterus. This increases chances of pregnancy. You can try 4 to 5 cycles of GUI before proceeding further. You should get your husband semen analysis before starting your procedure. Hope I have been helpful. Regards

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. From what you have stated it is quite clear that you are having a depressive episode. Depression can occur with regular stress, and it can also occur biologically without any stress as well. You need proper treatment for the same. There are various effective therapies for depression like fluoxetine, venlafaxine, bupropion, mirtazapine or Escitalopram, and they are all very effective and mostly safe. You may also require some benzodiazepines like clonazepam or lorazepam for a short period like 2-3 weeks to reduce the anxiety and help with your sleep. If you are averse to the Chat Doctor. This therapy is taken by either a psychologist or a psychiatrist in which the therapist identifies impaired cognitions (Thoughts) and try to correct them. They are 15-20 min weekly session and there should be around 8-10 sessions to help you with your illness. Hope I am able to answer your concerns.

|
Hithank you for asking your concern and welcome to Chat Doctor. The description you have given above gives the impression of a viral sore throat. In viral kind of cough this may happen as the cough is mostly Chat Doctor. During the cough some irritation to inner skin of throat causes expulsion of little amount of blood, it is similar to any injury outside the body. If you are not having cough with some amount of sputum or fever or decrease appetite or decrease weight in last two weeks then you do not need to worry at all. If you have any of it then I would suggest you to take antibiotic like amoxicillin or azithromycin after consulting to your physician. otherwise no worry. You can do salt water gargle to decrease some discomfort. I hope I answered your concern thank you regards

|
Hi dear. Thanks for your query. From your history it seems your child has skin rash in all over body and scalp and food allergy. Form distribution pattern it may be seborrhea dermatitis but because you child also have food allergy atomic dermatitis can not be excluded.I suggest you to consult dermatologist or repatriation for proper evaluation and treatment because without seeing the type of rash, whether it causes itching or not, proper diagnosis cannot be made. Meanwhile you can use antihistamines like cetirizine for rash and antigen Chat Doctor. Also avoid food which is causing aggregation of symptoms. Regards-

Hi, Thank you for posting your query. Tremors of hands are a side effect of valeryl (sodium valproate). I presume you are taking valeryl for control of seizures or bipolar disorder.

|
Hello, It is due to formation of small hematoma or due to contusion following the injection. Nothing much to worry as it will subside by it own with conservative management. As of now you can take analgesics like ibuprofen or Diclofenac for pain relief. Warm compresses over the affected site can also help in reducing the pain. Hope I have answered your query.

I ve been having major discomfort and sharp pains in my upper left abdominal region. For the past week and a half. Also, I can seem to fart a lot but not poop as often and when I do its little 2 to four inch poops. There is somewhat of a bulge too but not extremely noticeable on my upper left abdominal region. Please can anyone explain what might be going on.

Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor, Sharp pain on left upper side of abdomen is suggestive of pleural pain. Pleura is a double layered covering that encloses the lungs. Infection, inflammation or any other disease process can involve pleura and thus cause pleural pain. Spleen is the other organ which is present in left upper qua Chat Doctor. Infection, inflammation or any other disease process can affect the spleen and thus cause t the pain, Thus, clinical assessment is compulsory. Thanks and take

My mother got a very sore lump on her neck whicChatDoctore up when she was undergoing Typhoid treatment. Typhoid went away, however the lump on neck became very sore and painful. Biopsy and CT Scan were done, however the cause has remain unknown for the lump. After 2 weeks of Antibiotics didnt help, doctor suggested to clear the puss out. Also doctor now suspects it could be due to Tubercluosis and has started medicines for same.Its been 4 weeks after the lump has been removed and an open 2 X 3 inch wound is present on neck, just above collar bone area. Its been advised to do dressing everyday and in te process a very thin tiny layer is removed from deep inside the wound. Also at times a white patchy balls type substance is found near the wound area and the person who performs dressing removes it using forceps (Its generally sticking inside). I want a second opinion on the entire medical procedure and would appreciate if you can provide me any further guidance.
|
HI. Thanks for an elucidated history. This looks to be tuberculosis unless proved otherwise, One can request for review biopsy just to clear the doubts. Please continue anti-tubercular treatment as the break is not a good idea. And these medicines are good antibiotics in itself. Typhoid by virtue of reducing the body-resistance gives way to the old not-clinically obvious infection like TB to come-up and show up as a disease. The while part which is removed is called a slough. Removing helps early healing. Please get her blood tests done related to hemoglobin, blood sugar, serum proteins, liver function tests, quantifier TB gold test so that we can know why she is not responding to the treatment. Please feel free to ask further if you want more clarification Chat Doctor.

I had unprotected sex on may 4th my period is somewhat un-regular so im not positive on when its supposed to start. On Saturday, may 11th i had unprotected sex again, when i went to the restroom, i noticed I had a light pink discharge. I was told it could of been implantation bleeding. Since then, ive noticed white bumps appear around my nipples, my breasts are very sore. I have been experiencing a lot of nausea, and head aches. could I be pregnant? If so when should I test?
|
Hello, Unprotected sex on irregular period is quite risky for being pregnant. Light pink discharge may indicate implantation bleeding. Here, you need to undergo one home pregnancy test after one week. If you do not get your period on that time, one blood test for beta Chat Doctor is required to confirm. TVS scan gives additional information on positive test. Following test report, consult with gynecologist for next line management. Practice safe sex in the future. Good luck.

Ive been having abdominal pain in my tummy in the centre and right side, when I add pressure the pain is there but also when I move to get up or get in any position its very painful it brings me to tears its mostly any position I move its an unbearable, should I go to my GP or straight to the nearest hospital?
|
Hellman on the right side in abdomen, also in the center, bending increases pain. Such type of acute pain on the right side in abdomen may be due to these possibilities, these include.1 Right renal colic, diagnosis can be confirmed by ultrasound of abdomen with both kidneys.2 Acute appendicitis may be the another cause of such acute pain Diagnosis can be confirmed by physical examination and ultrasound of appendix.3 Consolidation of lower lobe of lung may cause such type of referral pain. Diagnosis can be confirmed by X-ray chest. However, there are so many other chances of such pain but in the absence of complete history it is not possible to establish exact diagnosis. I recommend you please consult a physician and get his opinion as physical examination is important. Good luck.

My daughter is taking oral contraceptives. she is finishing her 2nd week but in the first week skipped one night doubled up the next then skipped the next night doubling up the following day. During the 2nd week she missed tues, wed, and thurs, and took two pills yesterday. Today she got her period. What should she do?
|
Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor. I am Chat Doctor. I will be answering your concerns today. Since your daughter has missed up so many pills she has started her period now. Let her throw away the remaining tablets and start the new pack of pills today. By doing so she will be protected against pregnancy from today. It is extremely important that she takes the pills almost at the same time daily. She can keep alarm or reminder in the mobile to help her take the tablets at the right time. She may practice taking it daily after dinner. I hope this is helpful. If you have further concerns, contact me through Chat Doctor. Best wishes, Chat Doctor.

Ive been on antibodics for broncitus for about 10 days but about 3 days ago I started getting a pain in my left rib cage close to my chest that has spread across my chest in the past couple of days. it hurts to breathe and cough and even worse when laying down
|
Hi, Dear , Thanks for the query to My Chat Doctor clinic. I studied your query and understood your concerns. In my opinion-you suffer mostly from -diaphragmatic-Pluritis -post bronchitis due to the viral?bacterial infection as it worsens on laying down.-I would do chest X-ray to rule out any old TB Lungs-along with - CBC/ESR /PPD/IGRA-Inerferron Gamma Release Assay to detect the old TB reactive immunity. Hope this would resolve the issue and would help you to plan treatment for your chest pain with cough with your doctor. Wellcome for further queries in this regard. Good Night.

hello. My grandma had some bloodwork done 5 days ago, he received the results today stating her hemoglobin level at 5.7. Dr. sent her to the ER righ away, where they performed a new bloodwork... the new results show hemoglobin level at 5.5... She is now waiting for a blood tranfussion but they have not ordered any other tests yet. How serious is this?? Thank you Doctor!
|
Hello, THX to contact us. If I am your treating doctor I would like to advice you that having a hemoglobin of approx a 5 is very serious condition especially in the older. Such type of severe anemia may lead to complications like anoxia of brain, heart dysfunction, hemorrhage in such condition is life-threatening. Urgent blood transfusion is required otherwise patient may lead to death. Ordering other investigations has no role right now, only blood transfusion is emergency. If you have anything else to ask please contact me. Than. Chat Doctor

Hi, Fever of a 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 a viral illness and it doesn't require antibiotics at all. Once the viral fever comes it will there for 4-7 days. So do not worry about the 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. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Chat Doctor.

I am experiencing an itchy itchwhich is most present on my upper chest. I have some red itchy areas under and down my upper arms, too. These are red bumps. I have had a trial on antibiotics for 10 days. I also took 20 mg predisone for five days. I thought it was licked, but it has returned this afternoon after I had mowed my lawn. I take aqua aerobics three days/week. I wondered if the boron from the pool might be part of the problem. The rash seems to be isolated to the upper chest. I have recently showered and used an itch lotion. It has tree tea oil in it. It helps. I do not know what else to do?
|
Hi, Thank for choosing Chat Doctor, You have not mentioned for what purpose you took antibiotic, the antibiotic itself some time causes allergic rash,your rash is not generalized, it is limited to certain areas only, this could be non-specific local allergic reaction, may subside itself without medicine, over reaction to this could worse the condition, wait and watch is the best way, taking steroids for this is too early,,, at the most second generation anti histamine can be tried.

I am a twenty one year old female, height 5, weight 150lbs and have had a lump on the right inside of my lower jaw. i have had this for at least four years; it causes no pain when touched and my jaw is not tender. cold does not bother it either.it does not seemed to have changed over the time that i have had it. are there any ideas as to what it might be and if i should be concerned?
|
Hi, Dear thanks for the query to Chat Doctor. Cause and Treatment-for Your under-jaw-lump--In my opinion its mostly a-benign lump in floor of your mouth.-I would advise FNAC biopsy from a Dental Surgeon to fix its cause amongst the various causes for such a lump.-Treatment would depend on the cause of it-which could be fixed after clinical examination from a dental Surgeon, who would plan the right treatment for it. So don't worry and act fast ASAP. Hope this would help your worry to take proper steps for health. Wishing you fast recovery. Wellcome again if you have any more query in this regard. Have a Good Day.

Hi Doctors, recently and for the past one year now, I have been having food, especially meat, sticking so long between my molar and/or premolar teeth after eating. This has been a big pain when trying to use tooth-pick to remove the stick meat after finished eating.
|
Hello, If you have spaces between your teeth food may occasionally get stuck. If the frequency has changed, and you notice larger spacing, a visit to the orthodontist could be considered to close the spaces and improve your bite with braces. Another concern is your periodontal condition which involves your gums and bone. Increased spacing can indicate tooth movement due to loss of bone. You would need to consult a periodontist. If you associate this with recent dental work, ask your dentist to check the contacts between your teeth. Broken or decayed teeth can catch food as well. Make sure you are up-to-date on your routine exam and cleaning to properly diagnose your condition and best treatment recommendation. Maintain good day dental care including flossing. Thsnk you for your inquiry.?I hope my suggestions are helpful.
