Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor, This could be acute bronchitis with your asthma as you are having persistent coughing. For burping or gas trouble or belching, you should take antacids like sanitizing or pantoprazole. Coughing can be diagnosed clinically, but you must undergo routine blood investigation with sputum R/ M and C/S, chest x-ray to rule out any other pathology of lungs. You might require long course of antibiotics (amaryllis with chavulanic acid or cephalosporins) with other supportive treatment like bronchodilators (steroids, beta agonists, anticholinergics) inhalers or nebulizers with steam inhalation frequently. Consult pulmonologist immediately and take advise.

I am 23 have had a lump on my back forever, but now its the size of a softball, it hurts, Im tired all the time and it has leasions? that are clear, red, and blackish I cant get help because I dont have insurance...could it be a tumor or cancer? I am 5\"6 120 lbs I dont smoke, dont drink, and do not do drugs...I exercise regulary and vegaterian.
|
Hi, welcome to Chat Doctor. First, don't be panic as cancers have tendency to grow rapidly. If it shows red, black, blue colors, it may be a vascular malformation. Sometimes, similar features are also seen in a nevus which is present since birth. You can get an ultrasound done to understand the underlying disease. If, it comes to be vascular malformation, it can be managed with excision or chemotherapy. In case it is a lipoma or other solid tumor, it can also be excised simply. So, once the ultrasound of the lesion is done, you can see a general surgeon for sorting out the correct management of the problem on the basis of the ultrasound report. Hope, you get well soon.

Hi i am using the contraceptive pill cerazette. I forgot to take it on sunday night the 17th march at half 10 an never took it until the following monday morning at half 11 (after the 12 hours) that monday night i had unprotected sex. I went and got the morning after pill (ellaone) on the friday morning 22nd march, 88hrs after the unprotected sex. The woman told me to do a pregnancy test 3 weeks after, iv taken one today the 3rd april and it appears negative. Is it too early to tell? Can cerazette affect the result and also can this pill give pregnancy like symptoms?ThanksHannah
|
Hi Hannah, Thank you for posting your question here, I will try to answer it to the best of my abilities. Usually you're supposed to take two pills in order to make up for the missed one, that's what I've been told by most doctors. The smart thing you did was taking the emergency pill on the next day, ellaone can be taken up to 5 days after having unprotected sex, so since you were just over the 3rd day, it should've worked. Now what you need to know is that Elaine had been shown to stop 60% of all cases, so it's not 100%. But since you're home pregnancy test has come out negative after waiting for 3 weeks, it is highly unlikely that you are pregnant, to be 100% sure, you can take another home pregnancy test tomorrow. I hope this answered your question.

I am not sure if I have tourettes or not, but I talked to a friend and she has it and told me some of the symptoms. I realized I had some of them. And before I tell you some weird things I do, I am NOT sure if these are symptoms or if they even mean anything but I just want to make sure they don t mean anything. I
|
HIT hank for asking to ChatDoctorI really appreciate your concern I read your given history here, but this is not the symptoms of the disease you said \"Tourette\" in my opinion this could be sign of psychosis and the developing maniac disorders is very likely, in such condition it is better to control the impulses that you are having away from the emotional stress, else you need to see the psychiatrist, take care and have nice day.

My son is 5months and 16days old and he was suffering from severe cough which is now reduced as the Doctor has put him on Augmentin Antibiotic and now he is normal, The doctor now has advised for Septillin syrup from Himalaya to be given for one month minimal which will help him increase immunity. Is it safe to give it to my baby. Please advice.
|
Most of the episodes of cough and cold are caused due to certain viruses. Antibiotics are generally not required, but some doctors give antibiotics with the assumption of super added bacterial infections which are sometimes present. Reptilian is supposed to act as an immunomodulator and help in enhancing immunity, but this demand is not backed by evidence. However, there should be no harm associated in giving reptilian to a baby of this age.

I have lower back pain for about 1 week I went to the doctor they gave me a shot and it seemed to work on my right side now it is on my left lower lubar. I get this from time to time I am a nurse and i know that I should warm up before I go on the floor but sometimes when I get to work I have to jump right in there do to patient over load
|
Maintain your posture while sitting standing and while working. Try to avoid uncomfortable positions. And for nurses while taking night duty in sitting uncomfortable position they used to sleep. This is also a cause of back pain. Have a regular exercise to strengthen your back muscles. For relieving pain syn Chat Doctor. You can use a local anti-inflammatory gel of diclofenac or nimusulide also. And do a hot compress also. If you don't have any disc herniation or other problems this will help. Thanks

I breastfeed my 11 month old daughter and haven t had a period yet. Lately I have felt off and have had mild cramping in my lower abdomen all day. More like a dull pain. Hubby and I had sex this morning and it was uncomfortable. I took a pregnancy test this morning and it was negative.( we don t use birth controle because we are ok with having another baby)
|
Hi welcome to Chat Doctor forum. Thanks for calling Chat Doctor. Forum. You are a mother of a child of 11 months. You felt a cramping of and on in the lower abdomen. Furthermore, you had sex, and it was uncomfortable, and pregnancy test was negative. Pain in the lower abdomen and discomfort in sex is an indication of dysmenorrhoea, (pain before period) or may be pelvic infection, or urinary tract infection. I advise you to consult a gynecologist for diagnosis and treatment. You may need to have U.S.scaling besides other routine tests for confirmation. Wishing for a quick and comfortable recovery. Best regards.

my daughter is a year and half has a rash all over her body some of the rash have white heads on them also there are blisters between her toes and on her feet and pimple like bumps on her body in different places, The rash makes her itch alot its even in her hair any help to ease her pain will help
|
Hi dear, I understand your concern. You should be worried, but not too much. It seems your baby has children infection-Chicken pox. With such presentation in my clinic, I usually prescribe antihistamine medicine-cetrizine syrup, you should apply spirit to affected area to kill infection and decrease itching. Don't take tub during 5 days, only wash intimate areas. Wash her mouth with soda water. Rash will stop after 5 days. Hope I answered to your question. If you have more questions than don't hesitate to write to us. I am always happy to help. Wishing your baby good health

Hi. I have been having shortness of breath occasionally for the past few months even when at rest. And every time when I exercise, I feel tingling sensation at the back of my head when I am out of breath. I was diagnosed with asthmatic bronchitis 2 years ago but no wheezing. Is this consider asthma but I do not have wheezing at all.
|
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. There is dictum in pulmonology. \"All wheezes are not asthma and not all asthmatic s will have wheel\". So it is quite possible to have asthma without wheel. I advise you to consult pulmonologist and get done PFT (Pulmonary Function Test). PFT is must diagnose breathing problem as asthma. It will also tell you about severity of asthma. And according to the severity, treatment should be guided. You may require inhaled bronchodilators and antihistamine. So better to consult pulmonologist and discuss all these.

Hi i have slight tingling in my hands and feet and numbness in my abdominal area it started 3 days ago. about 5 days ago i started treating a very painful wart on the tip of my rt pointer finger. it seems when this wart is acting up i start to get thethtinglimg snd numbness. could this be caused by the nerves in my finger tipbecaused
|
Hi, Thank for choosing Chat Doctor, These two conditions are very much differ from each other, your fingertip warts and the tingling numbness of hands feet and abdomen area are not related with each other, your tingling and numbness could be a nonspecific and temporary, emotionally triggered, or due to the emotionally induced stress, just relax it will go away, be in touch with Chat Doctor Have good day.

I m having what feels like broncospasms. Had asthma as a child, hx of smoking, recently issues with allergies. I can t talk with out becoming SOB. Having a little labored breathing, headache. My chest burns and I m still coughing. Ok to wait to go in to urgent care or should I go to ER now? I m a 35 yo female
|
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. By your history and description, possibility of chronic bronchitis is more likely. First, you need to quit smoking. Then 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 and treatment is based on severity only. You will need inhaled bronchodilators (formoterol or albuterol) and inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) (budesonide or fluticasone). Don't worry, you will be alright with all these. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.

I fell down from five steps of staircase at home, I cut my head, right side, I had 2 ribs brokers (fifth and sixth and bruise on my pelvic. I had x-ray on chest and pelvic bones. The hospital said it will heal itself. They gave me pain killer Today is the 14 days after my injury, what kind of exercise should I take.
|
Hi Dear, Welcome to Chat Doctor. Understanding your concern. As per your query you are wondering about exercises for broken ribs. Well there can be treatment option for broken rib. I would suggest you to consult orthopedic surgeon for proper examination. Doctor may order x-ray, CT scan or bone scan. Doctor may wrap elastic bandage around your chest along with splint and prescribe muscle relaxant along with anti-inflammatory. Doctor may also recommend deep breathing exercises for broken rib, which are very effective along with physical therapy. For now take proper rest, apply warm compresses on broken several times a day and take ibuprofen or acetaminophen for pain. Also do not sleep on side of broken rib. Hope your concern has been resolved. Get Well Soon. Best Wishes,

Hi, my name is Jeanette. I have been having horrible pain in my lower back, front and side of abdomen. My stool looks very strange to me.

Im worried I have a parasite.... what is going on with me???? Please help???

Do not worry. Only if you can rely on please take the help of Ayurvedic measures. First of all clean the bowels by some herbal purgative, for three days.

I am a 51 yr. old woman. I have a medical history of anxiety, asthma-copd,hgh.bld.press.,sleep apnea,migraines,acid reflux,bells palsy-hemi facial spasms,and t. dyskinesia. I have tried cogentin, valium,topomax,primidone,and neurontin for the tremors. They were not tolerated very well. I had been on numerous depression meds when this developed 2 yrs. ago. I take lorazepam,enalapril,singulair,symbicort,and abuterol on a regular basis. I would like to know of any vitamin-mineral or natural product that might help with the symptoms of this disorder. Look what prescription meds. have already done. Please TRY and figure out something. My family does not understand this disorder and is considering putting me in a nursing home.......CAN YOU HELP!!!!!!!
|
Hi dairy understand your concern. Vitamin or minerals can help, but they only boost your energy level but not help to recover from depression. L methyl folate and methylcobalamine can help in depression. Both have a good review in treatment. It is effective only when give with ANI depressant. Anti-depressant like sertraline / Escitalopram will help along with L methyl folate. Thyroid function is also necessary. Do it if you have not done yet. Supplements of thyroxine also beneficial. Do take advise from your treating doctor. Consult psychiatrist and get help. Still if you have a query then feel free to ask. Thank you. Get well soon.

hello dr ,my daughter is 2.5 yrs she was exclusively on the mother feed till 2.4 yrs then i swiched her on nido fortified then after taking this she developed allergic reaction starting from her leg then spread centrifugally after givin syp prednisalonen phenergan injection she got relieved 70 to 80% but itching persist then after one week same rashes developed tell me this problem might be due to fortified nido milk
|
Thanks for the question. By your description it seems your 2.5yrs old child is on total milk diet. By now she should have been weaned to wholesome solid food. Yes top milk may cause allergies. And if you feel she is developing rash by giving a particular thing then stop it immediately, and make sure to mention it for rest of her life. It is advisable to get in touch with her pediatrician for confirmation.

I am a 52 yr. old female. I am 50 tall and weigh 115 lbs. I just received my blood work results. My potassium is high 5.3. Also, my WBC is low 3.58. Not sure why? When trying to read the automated differential results the numbers look with in the % ranges. But not sure what the measuremnts of K/mm3 means. Those numbers seem to be Delta Flagged. Would you be able to let me know what it means?
|
Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You may have some viral infection or infection. That causes decrease in your WBC count. Your potassium is borderline high. You should consult your doctor for that. And take treatment urgently. It causes life-threatening arrhythmia. Consult your doctor and take treatment accordingly. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Wish you a very good health.

I started having these rubbery white pieces coming out of my mouth 2 months ago which then turned into swelling in my inner left cheek and formed to a big white looking womb on my cheek as well as white spots on my toung and back of my throat.The doctors took a blood test whicChatDoctore out to be on the borderline of the mumps and said I have a viral virus which they do not know what it is.No one has seen this before.And I still have small stretchy white chunks coming out of my toung when I swallow and push my toung out really hard.Can anyone help, does anyone know what this can be or has come across this before?
|
Hello, thank you for consulting with Chat Doctor. The type of rubbery white pieces you are mentioning, it looks that you are developing candidiasis in your mouth as this is a white lesion inside mouth which can be scrapped of. And this candidiasis has developed because you are having viral infection of your salivary gland (parotid) which is situated in front of your ear. As viral infection of this gland leads to decrease salivation and increase in candidiasis. So you have to visit your dentist get started with antifungal Chat Doctor. Hope it will help you.

I have constant neck pain located about 5 oclock. There is constant pressure from the middle of my neck passed my hair line, with no relief. There is a lump that has double in size about 2 1/2 fingers since July now. I get spot headaches in the same place on the top of my head that only last a minute or less. I waken with chest pain and a strange feeling through the back of chest up to throat now it comes throughout the day. It s been over a year that I have had exstreme stiffness,and loss of movement.
|
Hello, With such symptoms, I shall advise you to consult to your doctor and get an MRI investigation. Your problem can be related with swelling which can be either vascular or soft tissue mass. This may compress surrounding structures and can lead to your problem. Till then, you may take a mild analgesic like acetaminophen for relief. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

I am wondering what if my water doesnt break and i dialate to 4 cm before my due date. what are my options?
|
Hi. Chat Doctor. I welcome you to Chat Doctor VIRTUAL CLINIC. I have gone through your question, and I think I have understood your concern. Furthermore, I will suggest you the best possible treatment options. Please do not worry, as you have crossed 3 weeks of pregnancy. Even if you land in labor pains and bag of water doesn't break doctor can do a procedure called ARM, artificial rupture of membrane, and help you out. You keep watch on babies kick counts. Any discharge or reduced baby kick count should alert you. I hope this answer helps you. Thanks.

My back started to hurt about 3 weeks ago. Pain is located between scapulas, around my backbone. Pain is not consistent, I can feel it when I lower my shoulders down. It feels like something is pressing my backbone from sides. I also experienced some left chest pain about three weeks ago, it lasted about 2-3 weeks (I relate it with smoking).I tried some not prescription ointments for my back, but it doesnt seem to help.What could be the cause of that back pain?
|
Dear patient Pain between scapula may be due to 1. Trapeziums 2. Dorsal spine origin. Have you suffered trauma? If not then I would advise X-ray of dorsal umber spine anteroposterior and lateral views to rule out bony abnormalities. If its normal then start tab diclofenac plus thiocolchicoside combination twice a day for 5 days. Apply diclofenac gel for local effect. If report shows abnormalities take a visit to orthopedic surgeon.

Hello My sister s baby is one week old now and nothing stays in his stomach. He vomits immediately after feeding but now it s coming through his nose while busy feeding. The doc said that his stomach flap is under developed. Will this come right and how long will it take. They don t want to keep the baby in the hospital. Someone suggested that she give the baby infacare formula because this apparently worked for her vomiting baby. Her first baby died because of this vomiting.
|
Hi... I have just read through your query. If I were your pediatrician I would consider these possibilities -1. Hypertrophic pyloric stenosis (obstruction of stomach outlet due to muscle over growth) - Though uncommon in female babies - yet is a possibility. We need to do an Ultrasound abdomen to rule this out.2. HERD - Sometimes the contents in the stomach swill come up to laxity in the esophageal sphincter. We can try a course of Antireflux therapy - Proton pump inhibitors + antiemetic.3. Physiological - It can sometimes happen in completely normal babies. If the kid is gaining weight well and voiding urine well - then you need not worry it could be physiological or a normal phenomenon. Regards -

I am an ayurvedic dr,my dad has tremors in hands more than 10 yrs, increased while holding objects,he is a cardiac patient,is taking alprazolam 0.25 (1 1/2) per day more than 10 years,two days back he felt a nerve pulling sensation in his fingers,kindly give your opinion about this condition,what can be done
|
Hello and thanks for using Chat Doctor. I have read your question and understand your concerns. First thing to do in your dads' case is to get done nerve conduction study and EMG of the affected limb. If there is found a nerve entrapped, (median or ulnar), a minimally invasive surgical procedure may be necessary to treat it. Discuss with your fathers primary care Doctor about these issues. Hope you found the answer helpful. Greetings.

Hello, I had a bartholin cyst that became infected last August. I was admitted to hospital scheduled for surgery the following day but the cyst burst during the night and I was discharged without surgical treatment and just antibiotics . In the last few days it has been sore again. It is not protruding like in August but I do have a slight fever and I am in pain when sitting walking or using the bathroom. Should I contact my local doctors surgery or will it heal on it s own? Thank you
|
Hello dear, Thank you for your contact to Chat Doctor. I read and understand your concern. I am Chat Doctor answering your concern. It is likely to be infected. Once cyst ruptures it leaves a raw area which are potential area of infection. I suspect the infection at local site. But you should get examined your self at doctor site. Please take definite tablet 200 mg three times a day, tab diclofenac 500 mg and tab partaking for three days, please take above medication under your doctors' guidance. Good maintenance of hygiene is equally helpful in treating the infection as antibiotics do. I will be happy to answer your further concern on bit.ly/ Chat Doctor. Thank you, ChatDoctorInfectious diseases specialist, ChatDoctor.

I am 13 and have had anemia since I was 4 years old and lately if I stand up I just collapse to the ground because my vision blacks out and I get so lightheaded and cant catch my breath I lay there for a few seconds then get up and feel in shock. Why does this happen?
|
Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. Weaknesses, blackout, difficulties in breathing are common in anemia. Because your oxygen carrying capacity OS reduced. You should go for complete blood count, peripheral smear examination and anemia profile. Find out the cause of anemia and take treatment accordingly. As your he level improve you will get relief from your symptoms. Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using Chat Doctor.

hello, i wanted to ask if i should be concerned of this itch i had on me outer ear. it was a little ithchy only when i touched it and it hurt a little. today i scratch it by mistake and some white yellow thing came out. like the thing that comesout of your pimple. it was a little bit. then some clear liquid came out with a blood. i am pregnant just letting you know if it may help.
|
Hello dear, I understand your concern. In my opinion the pain and pus discharge admixed with blood suggests infection. Yes it can be treated by either topical antibacterial or oral antibiotics. Nothing to worry. Because the medicines which can be given during pregnancy are only prescribed. Do not apply pressure and express the pus because this might lead to spread of infection. Mild infection might subside with topical medicines but if the infection is more oral antibiotics are required. So I suggest you to consult ENT doctor for accurate diagnosis and treatment. It will subside with adequate treatment. Hope this helps. Best regards...

I am having lower back pain in area of the kidneys, pelvis discomfort and a small amount of blood when having a bowel movement, I have made an appt with a gastroenterologist, but could not get me in until Nov. 2, do I need to go to another doctor sooner. I m 58 yr old female. symptoms have only been since Monday
|
Fellow back pain and pelvic discomfort may be due to many reasons like pelvic organ pathology, genitourinary problem, musculoskeletal cause etc. You may need clinical correction and few blood tests. Blood tests include routine hologram, random blood sugar, liver and renal function test, urine and stool RE/ME, ultrasound of abdomen, serum calcium, thyroid profile etc. Ultrasound of abdomen can exclude many causes. Colonoscopy and CT scan may be needed after evaluation. It is due to history of bleeding. Proper treatment depend upon clinical findings and investigation reports. Get well soon. Take Care Chat Doctor.

Continuing the previous question . What is the surety by undergone the surgery of sliding heatus hernia,that it will cure forever. And how complex this surgery is ? And how much time will it take.and what will be the cost? Will it be leproscopic surgery. As i tell you that i am taking rekool l .what is the side effect of this tab. If i take this for a long.will it damage other organ if i imagine continuing it till age 40 50.i mean the health issue.Is there not any excersise than can relief me? Any yog. Please assist me. Thanks Doctor
|
Hi. Thanks for your queries and an understanding of the problem. First understand that hernia is projection of some organ out of its normal place. In Hiatus Hernia, the part of the upper stomach slides through the diaphragm into the chest. This coccus through a natural hole in the diaphragm which allows a few structures to pass through. Due to inherent weakness or wideness of the hole, it allows the stomach to slide through into the chest. The operation can be successful and laparoscopy allows getting this done through small key-holes. The recovery is fast, and you can start moving the next day. Yes, surgery can cure but at the same time other principals have to be followed by you very strictly-like loss of obesity, small frequent meals, no smoking, no Chat Doctor. Retool suppresses the acid secretion of the stomach to reduce the pain, you can always stop it after 6 months of use. It may not be necessary to use after a successful surgery. There are no serious side effects. It will not damage other organs. You have to continue walking after food as an exercise, and I can not really comment whether Yoga will help you in such conditions wherein surgery is indicated. Do not worry much, that increases acidity and symptoms of hiatus hernia. Go to the specialty center, get evaluated and operated if advised so.

sir,my child name -Aviraj, Age-12 Years he is suffering the problem dentiral cyst in left lower joy from 2007, i operate as concern in max hospital in 2007,but the problem again develop and we reoperate in 2009, but sir, it will again reseen.Please advise me -what can i do
|
Hello, Thank you for consulting with Chat Doctor. Actually it can happen only in cases when complete removal of cyst is not done and a lining is still left, which causes re-occurrence of the cyst. Even it can also be possible that the diagnosis has not been made properly, and thus the treatment is also wrong. Better that once you should visit an oral pathologist and then an oral surgeon, as a confirmation diagnosis will be made by oral pathologist and complete treatment will be done by oral surgeon. Hope it will help you.

Then swelling of hands feet, heart palpitations , numbing in fingers toes legs...ppl say lupus doctor says psoriatic arthritis...joints and mussels hurt the worse...what can cause that?
|
Hi Dear, Welcome to Chat Doctor. Understanding your concern. As per your query you have psoriasis arthritis. Well psoriasis arthritis occurs when your bodies immune system begins to attack healthy cells and tissue. The abnormal immune response causes inflammation in your joints as well as overproduction of skin cells. Hope your concern has been resolved.

I havent had sex with anyone in the past 2 months, problem started a month ago, i have only had one sex partner which was my wife. This happened after I shaved. Ive been getting red bumps, small ones all over my genitles and around the area, i do not have fever, soreness, no burning sensation, just some itchiness. A doctor mentioned it could be fungus, but it hasnt gone away.
|
Hello dear, Thank you for your contact to Chat Doctor. I read and understand your concern. I am Chat Doctor answering your concern. From your description it looks like the bump arises because of the reaction of the shaving on genitals. I don't think its fungal infection. But you should consult the doctor after a week period because, this reaction wanes of in a few days. If it won't disappear than you can consult the doctor and review the diagnosis. Right now you should take the cetirizine tablet under your doctors' guidance for itching. Cleanliness and itching is all what is required to clear rest of the things. Please wear cotton undergarments it will prevent the erosion on the skin because of walking. I will be happy to answer your further concern on bit.ly/ Chat Doctor. Thank you, ChatDoctorInfectious diseases specialist, ChatDoctor

Hello Doctor, Unfortunately i fell from a tree, around 12-15 feet height, i directly landed on my hips. Immediately i got an X-ray & MRI done. MRI Reports say 0 have got a Lumbar vertebrae D12 compression fracture. I have been suggested for a month of bed rest. What measures should i take to cure it ASAP completely & as well avoid future problems like back pain and etc.
|
Hi, thank you for providing the brief history of you. I should be thankful to god as well that luckily you are out of danger is spinal cord injury. All the blessings of God be upon you. As you mentioned you have a D12 Vertebrae fracture, I think it will be fractured of the body of the vertebrae. As mentioned, you should really take a proper care initially because of to allow the callus to form inside the fractured bone. Since it is a crucial place you should be really careful. Movements you should avoid are bending and twisting in bed. You should just lie down. Also, also with that, perform slow breathing exercises to keep the respiratory system intact and also perform some little exercises. You can consult your physician and a physical therapist for the same as some maintenance of the muscle property is required. Also, consume good calcium supplement through diet which will act as a boost to the healing. Once you are advice to move out of bed, discuss with your physician prior to initiative of any exercises. Performing good exercise to stabilize the core and the spine will help you avoid future back pains, but it is unsure if you really can avoid. Because at some stage of life everyone should have once a while back pain. In the duration of your rest if you find any abnormality in you functions or symptoms kindly consult the same physician at the earliest to avoid any major issues to override the healing process. Usually, people can go back to activity soon depending upon the type of fracture. Also, in future without making the body fit undergoing any sports will not be advisable to avoid any future problems. With the grace of God you are really lucky. RegardsJay In Chat Doctor.

Hello my 5 year old daughter had like a temp filling done on Wednesday the uv light ones, she didnt have any drilling done or anything but that night she woke with tooth ache bought some medicine and was fine but now her cheek is quite swollen, I didnt know if this was due to as they was pressing the filling on she was screaming and moved a lot and disrupted the nerves and wil calm down in few days?
|
Hi Sir/Mam, I can understand your children problem. When ever a tooth decay develops sensitivity, it means the decay has entered second layer of the tooth. When there is pain or swelling in relation to decay tooth it means it has entered third layer of tooth which has nerves and blood vessels. Once the decay enters the third layer, root canal treatment(in adults) or lumpectomy is the permanent solution. But since your child had bad experience with the previous appointment. You can wait for one more month taking medications. If again pain and swelling develops you can proceed with root canal treatment. Hope your query is answered. For further queries please don't hesitate to contact me.

Hi, I just got over a yeast infection about two weeks ago. It came back a few days ago, and I ve started another 3 day over the counter treatment. I am positive that it is a yeast infection because I ve had the symptoms before. Why would the yeast infection return? Is it possible to get BV from the treatment?
|
Hello, yeast infection can recur due to several reasons. If you haunt taken the Chat Doctor. Sometimes if you have diabetes also. You would get recurrent yeast infections. If you haunt checked your fast blood sugar with your 1st yeast infection episode you'd better this time. Yeast infection can be spread by sexual contact. All your sexual partners/ partner has to be examined a treated simultaneously. Otherwise even if you were cured you would get the reinfection from sexual contact. Yeast infection sensitive to ketoconazole, fluconazole, cotrimoxozole. They are available as creams, vaginal posits. And in oral forms. Hope this helps. Thank you.

Hi, As per your query you have symptoms of alopecia which can occur due to many reasons such as compromised immunity of the body, stress, genetic factor, improper hygiene, fungal infection and hormonal changes. Need not worry. I would suggest you to - Take a diet rich in supplements like vitamin A, Omega-3 and vitamin E.- Take a protein-rich diet and healthy food intake on a daily basis. - Avoid using shampoos that contain excessive chemicals. - Do massage of hair scalp on a daily basis. If symptoms keep on persisting visit dermatologist once and get it examined and start treatment with antifungal medication and shampoo. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Have a 7 year old that has had a few white like bumps on his back. They have decided to spread and I am now finding on legs ankles etc. These bumps are not like pimples, no fluid inside that I can tell. They appear to be some kind of rash. Now he is on a few meds for seizure autism etc. He has always been one since a little boy that several times a day will ask you to scratch his back. But he says it is not the bumps.

Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor, Asthma is itself an allergic disease due to cold or dust or pollen or grass etc. irrespective of the triggering factor. Your chest sharp feeling or pain, breathlessness are here due to asthma episodes. You can go for pulmonary function tests if not done. Treatment is mainly symptomatic which might require inhalation steroids, beta agonists, anticholinergics as MDI or rota haler as a regular treatment. To decrease the inflammation of bronchi and bronchioles, you might be given oral antihistamines with mast cell stabilizers (montelukast) and steroids (prednisolone) with nebulization and frequently steam inhalation. The best way to cure any allergy is a complete avoidance of allergen or triggering factor. Consult your pulmonologist for thoroughly examination and above treatment.

hi am lawrence, i have a 5 months girl baby. my question is in my baby lips colour is light black colour. i consult the child doctor she said it will disappear automatically later but due to this in my family all of them are worried.please advice me for this
|
Hi....your doctor was right. The black color of the lips will eventually disappear as the baby grows up. But there is a medical condition called central cyanosis which can cause dark or bluish colored lips and fiber tips.... But if this is the case the baby will require evaluation for congenital heart disease. But I am sure your pediatrician would not have missed this. So be rest assured. Regards -

Sometimes when my bladder is full or when I am getting sick with a cold or virus, I experience dizziness after sitting for a while and walking a few feet.The dizzy spell might last 2-3 minutes. During that time my left foot is numb and wobbles ( can t really contro)l. Years ago I had a CT scan AND other tests the doctors found no indication of stroke, or brain tumor. Last week I had a internal sonogram, my bladder was full prior to the exam, I had very bad spell, and could not walk into exam room without assistance. Left side wobbling and shaking - arm and foot affected. No one noticed anything wrong with my speech, cognition, or facial muscles. This has been happening for over 20 years. I am a 66 years old.
|
Hias you mentioned your history I remember about my old case which was 5 years old with this kind of symptoms. As you mentioned all your reports turned out to be normal and tarnish no medication for it. Anyways, as you mentioned the weakness of the left side and difficulty in speech as well. I have something to mention here. Radiology and laboratory helps us to come close to the tissue abnormality. But there are certain things which are not under the control of the control of human limits.let's try to see if something you can compensate by doing exercises. Exercises will held regain the strength in the body and improve your metabolism. Exercises can help you get rid of the symptoms and also, you can learn more about the coordination exercises as it will help you improve a lot in your functionality. Since CT and MRI are not able to trace what is the problem it can be the balancing the neuromuscular functioning. Which can be made by performing exercises. You can try doing certain thingsmeditationbreathing exercisesyogaphysical therapy (exercises)I had a case where these things have worked for my patients and now it's all fine and healthy life. For more questions you can ask me directly with the grace of God I wish you a good health. RegardsJay In Chat Doctor.

I ve had a lump in my stomach on the right of my stomach above belly button for a few weeks now. Went to the doc cause I also had sharp pain there but they couldn t figure out what it was. Still have the lump and randomly some pain but not as bad and my period is 5 days late...what s going on?
|
Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. Lump above your belly button may be due to some abdominal hernia or some soft tissue tumor like lipoma, neurofibroma etc. you should go for examination of that lump, if needed go for biopsy or FNAC. Then 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.

I have completely lost my appetite and have almost dropped from 9 and a half stone to 6 in the space of 3 months, I do no exercise whatsoever. I went from the 24th of February this year until 2 weeks ago without a period and I wasn t pregnant. My eating problem started out as I wouldn t eat meals and I d snack now and then throughout the day but now I go days without eating a bite and if I do eat it s out of pain I have to and it s only enough to fight away the pain. I also haven t been able to sleep properly and due to this I look about as bad as I feel. In the space of 2 weeks, 3 times before I go to bed I have taken some kind of fit which I don t know what that is either. Currently I get terrible pains in my chest, ribs and recently severe back pains, my stomach makes the sound of burning acid and feels like a bruise, hurts to stand up and move around, do you have any idea what may cause this and how to fix it? I don t understand what it is as I don t worry about my weight in the slightest, I have always been slim.
|
Here you are talking something about stone it's not clear. Is it something you are taking about kidney stone? As well there is no idea about your age, over all weight, how much it was ? And how much it is now? You need to provide your details properly. I will give here generalize answer since many things are not clear. For burning sensation in stomach, it can be acidity problem also, as well it can be gastric ulcer also, here you need to consult a doctor for evaluation and treatment. As well need to change your food habits. Keep snacks minimum, have more of cut fruits in diet. And keep one time for your food intake. Break fast keep it good, lunch keep it average and dinner keep it early by 8

HiI am Dr. Sachin, an Ayurvedic physician from India. One of my patient with H/O kidney stone taking a herbal supplement for stone has suddenly stopped urination. What may be the possible cause and what should be the line of action?Thanks in advance.Dr. Sachin
|
Hello Chat Doctor. As a Urologist, let me advise you, that a bladder stone is the most likely. You can confirm it, by doing an ultrasound scan of the abdomen and pelvis. As there's a history of kidney stone treatment, a stone may have slipped down and caused this block to the urinary passage. Its very common situation. The patient should be catheterized to relieve the acute retention of urine. Thereafter, once stone is confirmed, it can be treated endoscopically. If the patient is a male above 45-50 years of age, prostate gland is a cause. If you want my expert opinion, you can send it as a direct question.
|
Today I awoke with pain on the left side of my back right around where my kidneys are. I am currently taking citalopram, doxycycline, and clindamycin phosphate. The pain has lasted all day and I have never had pain here before. Do you think it could be a problem with my kidneys?
|
Hi thanks for your query. The pain you mentioned could be unrelated to your kidney. Backache can be a part of the multiple somatic disorder.it could be related to depression as well.....it can be related to excess intake of doxycycline. But nonetheless you need to rule out ANALGESIC NEPHROPATHY. I suggest you get a renal ultrasound and a MRI of the spine after a trial of 7\u00a0days painkillers. Also get a complete urine examination. Stop clindamycin and review with your family doctor. Thank you

Hi, My wife is being diagnosed with TB and doctor advised to take AKT4 medicine. whenever she cough her left ribs gets pain. Whether we need to consult our doctor or body will take time to adjust with medicine ?. its been 4 days she started with AKT4 medicine.
|
Hi, I understand your concern. The pain while coughing in TB is due to involved lung & surrounding tissues. Which are infected, inflamed & damaged because of the bacteria. It's good that she has started with anti TB antibiotic kit AKT4. Its only for 4 days. While to get some relief from symptoms at least 10-15 days are needed. Please let her continue the medicine regularly. Addition of high protein diet along with multivitamins is desired for good recovery. Thanks.

Hi i have had an eye infection affecting both eyes for 9 months now. It started like conjuctivitis both eyes wer red sore and crusty especially when i wake up in the morning. i saw my gp who prescribed chloramphenicol. this did not help so she said it was like an allergic reation and gave me antihistamines and sodium chromaligiate. she also did swabs whicChatDoctore back clear. however i am still suffering the same symptoms any ideas on what i can do now?
|
Hi thanks for asking question in Chat Doctor. Here swab comes negative so might be viral conjunctivitis or allergic. Here is some suggestion for you. Use lubricant eye Chat Doctor. Whenever you have sticky discharge, don't remove directly with hand. This sticky discharge removed with cotton well soaked in water. Remove it gently. Do frequent handwashing. Sometime conjunctivitis may be because of rubbing eye with hand or allergy to contact sense. In such case antihistamines is to be used, like cetirizine. Take enough rest. I hope my suggestion will help you.

I have a family history of heart attacks. My father died from a sudden massive heart attack at the age of 51. His mother, father, 2 brothers and a sister also. I am 43 yrs old and have been experiencing chest pains mainly on the left side and heart burn (acid reflux). Just wondering if this could be warning signs? I also have high blood pressure in which I take medication. It was high (150/104) but since is slowly coming down. An hour later it was140/98. Is this a major concern that I need to go to the emergency room?

I feel like I have a fever and one minute Im sweating and then Im cold, therefore, I took temp and it reads 96 and I always am 98.5 unless I do have fever. Iv had lots of things going on with health and the main thing is sores and family doc did blood work and vitiam d was low. I have recently been to E.R. because chest discomfort and these sores - ekg was normal but could explain sores so i left. He wanted to refer me to dermatologist. My teeth hurt now for some reason and my temp is strange. What do you suggest ?
|
Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query. The soreness could be secondary to herpes virus infection which is usually associated with fever and body pain. Consult an oral physician and get it ruled out. If it is herpes then take symptomatic treatment like topical anesthetic and analgesics like Anabel gel. And for fever take paracetamol. Do saline gargling. I hope my answer will help you. Take care

I was prescribed Tamaflu - two tablets for five days. I have taken it for two days and my husband through area the box today. And yes, today our garbage was picked up. Are there any problems with not taking the entire five days of tablets? Patricia
|
Hello, I think that you've been prescribed Tami flu because of a Flu, so I answer for that case. If you are not immunosuppressed (due to an illness or a medication) or under chemo/radiotherapy, I think that you could stay without taking the rest of the therapy. Moreover, you have to consider how do you feel

hello sir,my mother suffering lung cancers, actually we are founding 1 month before, now we are doing chemotheraphy treatment, i dont know the treatment methods. now i am getting informations about adayar hospitals is the best one. i need further treatments i can continue your institute

Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. Treatment of lung cancer depends on type and stage of cancer. Chemotherapy, radiotherapy or receptor specific treatment can be given. It all depends on whether it is small cell cancer or non-small cell cancer.

im age-34, height-165 cm , weight-65 kg male and an ultrasound scan (doppler) report of my scrotum says few dilated (2.3 mms) anechoic serpiginous structers noted in right spermatic cord showing colour flow indicative of reflux on Valsalva maneouvre suggestive of varicoceles. what treatments can i do?
|
Hi, Thanks for writing in. A varicocele is an enlargement of the veins within the scrotum. Most varicocele develop over time. Fortunately, most varicocele are easy to diagnose and many don't need treatment. It needs to be treated surgically only if your varicocele causes pain, testicular atrophy or infertility, or if you are considering assisted reproductive techniques, you may want to undergo varicocele repair.

I am 38 yr old. My canine teeth are protruding slightly. When I smile they become more prominent. I have consulted local dentists who say that at my age there is no treatment. Can I not get any orthodontic treatment so that the teeth can go back and not be prominent.
|
Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query. The proclaimed canine can be treated by moving it orthodontically. If I am your treating doctor, I would have advised to get a radiograph done like OPG and Lateral rephotograph to rule out any bony loss or to assess the status of the teeth and the bone. If the bone support is fine, then you can get your tooth corrected by the orthodontic treating. There is a treatment protocol called adult orthodontics, so consult a good orthodontist and get it treated. I hope my answer will help you, take care.

I have a very painful lump on my inner leg/but area. I ve had this twice before and they have ruptured on their own but it takes a couple of days to rupture. The pain woke me up around 3 this morning and now can not go back to sleep. I ve taken sitz bathes and have been taking aleve for the pain. I can barely walk because of the pain and now just laying in the bed is uncomfortable. Can anyone tell me what this might be and if I need to go to the doctor ?
|
Hi. You do need to see a Doctor as the pain is severe, and it has already happened twice earlier. By the history you give it seems like an abscess of some kind. Might be a perianal abscess. Therefore, you might need a course of antibiotics and a minor surgery to remove the pus inside if any. Do not worry, but please see a Doctor who can examine you and advice the best treatment. Take care. Chat Doctor.

|
Hi, your son has to be given medicine for fever and omitting. You don't have to refrain from using medicine for fever and omitting just because your kid is on medication for primary complex. Give him a plain paracetamol and an antiemetic. Once his omitting stops he will eat properly. You can then initially force him on some oatmeal and then slowly give him normal diet. Don't worry he would be alright. Inspire of all this if he is not accepting food then please take him to your doctor. Tc

Hi, I have a lump in my left side, it gets worse after I have eaten, it is hard and growing, I have seen my GP and she does not seem to be worried, I also have cysts in both my kidneys and as such my Doctor has explored these with ultrasounds and advised me that if anything was there towards the lump it would show up, it is getting bigger almost like as large as a football, it is sometimes awkward when lying on my left side. I have had a miscarriage and kidney operation on left side to remove a stone, and was advised several years ago it could be scar tissue. What do you think, please help. Joy Cash
|
You have said that you have undergone kidney operation for stone on left side but you didn't mentioned whether it's a surgery or a simple endoscopic procedure. Surgery usually leads to scar formation later may result in enlargement of scar tissue. Another thing which can happen after surgery of abdomen is development of hernia(since you mentioned the size increases after taking food). So whether the problem is scar tissue or hernia, in both the case you need to check wit a surgeon (general surgeon not GP).he will check you thoroughly and can provide treatment accordingly.

Hello, As of about noon (EST) today I have developed a pain in my upper right chest. It hurts when I inhale. I have not had a cold or the flu all winter. I currently do not have a cold or flu. No sore throat. No sinus cold or drainage. No cough. No sputum. No shortness o breath. Just pain when I inhale. I thought that it would go away but it seems to be getting more painful. It is now 7
|
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Chest pain (worsening) during inhalation is commonly seen with pleurisy (inflammation of pleura). And most common cause for pleurisy is lung infection. So first get done chest x-ray. If chest x-ray is normal then no need to worry about pleurisy. Sometimes pulled muscle can be also caused similar kind of pain. So apply ice packs on affected areas. Avoid movements causing pain. Take combination of painkiller and muscle relaxant Chat Doctor. Don't worry, you will be alright with all these. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.

My 15 year old daughter started having sharp pains in her upper abdomen (just below her sternum) in the middle of the night. The pain is not so severe as to keep her from functioning, she just mentions the pain. The pain seems to subside if she hunches over, but hurts if she sits up, or stands up straight, or takes a deep breath. She hasnt lost her appetite, no fever, no vomiting, no diarrhea, no constipation...she doesnt have any other symptoms besides the pain. Any thoughts?
|
Hi friend, Welcome to Chat Doctor The pain may be felt in the abdomen, but not FROM the abdomen! / it could have been referred pain - spasm of chest wall muscle, as suggested by its relation to movements... Try paracetamol and muscle relaxant - hopefully all will be well.[Stomach pain is related to food, has altered bowel habits, colicky or burning and so on...] Take tarnishing speedy recovery God bless Good luck

I have PCOS , family hx of my maternal grandmother died of ovarian cancer . Is it true that ovarian skips a generation? I have been having painful, heavier cycles monthly. I had an u/s this morning and the tech told me she was going to label the cyst that I had now a complax cyst. I know there are several types. I ve had 2 removed August 2011 and felt pretty good afterwards but it continues to stay on the right side for the pain. I m scared that it may turn into something worse. I m 39, overweight (215) and 5 3 and have high b.p. My dr. told me to lose weight and get my b.p. under control and grow older and we may talk about a partial or full hyst later on, but not now. I had my tubes tied and and finished with children. I m doing just that but am concerned about the pain. I don t want to do b.c. pills. Any suggestions? Thanks ---Lisa
|
Hello and welcome to ChatDoctorYou have a family history of ovarian carcinoma. It is true that ovarian carcinoma has a genetic basis. It is a familial occurrence. The presence of PCs does not increase in the incidence of ovarian carcinoma. Presence of cysts is a normal finding in ovaries. The thing of concern are the presence of high blood pressure and obesity. The presence of high BP and high weight increase the risk of endometrial carcinoma. These parameters need to be kept under control and prophylactic hysterectomy done since you have completed your family. Thanks and take care Chat Doctor.

I have had problems with back and neck for several months. Recently I have had increased headaches. In the last two days, I have had a constant headache I at first contributed to possible sinus pressure. I have some pressure at the base of my skull. Today I had an episode of dizziness, muscle contraction, inability to move arms, hands clasp shut but not in a fist. Feet & hands become numb with a tingling sensation & it is very painful. I have had one other episode like this a couple months ago when I had a stomach virus. My hands are clinch so tight I can not open them & my husband could barely open them. Muscle spasms are extremely painful. I draw into the fetal position. Last 5-15 minutes. Any suggestions?
|
Hi, since you mentioned muscle spasm in the neck and lower back region. I will initially ask you to use some hot fermentation so that the muscles can relax. Then we need to wait and see for a week if along with hot water fermentation and rest the pain and stiffness subsides. Also you mentioned the symptoms of painful movements, tingling sensation, weakness. I feel that it might be related to a nerve getting trapped based on your complaints. Usually due to prolong weakness of the muscle there is a chance of the spinal column going weakness. You can undergo an MRI scan of clerical and lumbar to see the soft tissues in that area as it will help to make the treatment more precise. What you can do in the meantime is working out behind the neck and lower back muscles to strengthen them. Also, the core strengthening exercises are of due importance. In case if the symptoms are more than meeting a physical therapist and undergoing few sessions of ultrasound therapy and TENS will help reduce the muscle spasm and pain radiating symptoms.to look forward now, exercises helps 99% of cases if done under supervision and learned well. Post that one need to needs to keep continuing the exercises to keep the spinal muscles stronger. Weakness of spinal muscles will lead to damage to the spine soft tissues. So I Advise to be focused on this. I have seen many cases and I have only found 100% success in them and all are able to perform the best functional activities. I am hopeful that I will hear from you soon that post doing all the exercises for spinal muscles strengthening and core stability you will have a pain free life and the best functional outcome score. Regards

Hello Doctor,5 years back i had a severe headache followed by visual disturbance in my left eye lasted for few minutes.i am diagnosed with a calcified lesion at right occipital lobe. taken albendazole for a month and oxetol for 2 years. recently i had a visual disturbance again without headache. During last 4 months i have a feeling of right knee tingling intermittently. Why is this tingling happening. Should i have to continue oxetol.. then for how much time. Is there any procedure to remove lesion. Till today i dont have any record of seizure.
|
Hi, Thank you for posting your query. A calcified lesion is most often due to a healed tape worm infection, called as neurocysticercosis. Since the worm is already dead, as suggested by calcification, albendazole is not necessary. The visual symptoms could be a sign of seizure, and it may be due to the location of lesion in the occipital lobe. So, Extol may have to be restarted and continued for long. Tingling in knee is an unrelated problem. Best wishes, Chat Doctor.

I have had muscle pain/aches since taking a statin. I stopped taking it after a month. This is two months after stopping the statin and I still have much leg pain. Also hip pain. At night I have such leg discomfort that It is very hard to sleep. It comes and goes. Mostly I feel like I had a very hard workout (which I haven t) and feel very sore.
|
Hello, Pain in the legs, thighs & hips commonly occurs due to side effects of statins. You are suggested to get re-examined by your treating doctor & go for a repeat lipid profile to check your triglyceride & cholesterol levels to monitor the dose of statins. In the meantime, you can apply pain-relieving ointments & take pain-relieving medications to feel better. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

hi i m chintu from bbsr. i was found with ++afb bacteria in my acid fast stain urine. doctor gave me 2 monts intensive course of akt 4 and then 7 months of akt 4 . after which i agin checked for acid fast stain urine , which showed the report as no afb seen. i had no other symptoms . in the 8th month of my course i developed jaundice but i continued my akt 4. is there any chance that i can again develop ++afb bacteria .??
|
Welcome to Chat Doctor. I appreciate your concern for the development of jaundice associated with positive AFB in the urine sample. There is no relation between the two. Apparently you were suffering from the tuberculosis of the urinary tract (kidney or ureters or urinary bladder) which is reflected in the presence of the acid fast bacilli (Mycobacterium tuberculosis) responsible for the infection. Since you had undergone meticulous treatment to eradicate the infection, jaundice has occurred due to the side effects of most of the Chat Doctor. In case you have developed jaundice during the course of therapy, the

Have a small abscess on the first molar on the lower right side of my mouth. Going to dentist tomorrow. The tooth is capped and I think I want to have it pulled due to finances with root canal and crowns. I have no molars behind this tooth. Will I have trouble eating if I decide to pull it?
|
Thanks for your query. I have gone through your query. Yes first molar plays a major role in chewing because it's the key for occlusion. You will have difficulties in chewing if you get the tooth removed. If the tooth has sufficient bone support then try to save it. You can get the RCT done first that clears the infection. Once you get the money you can get the crown placed in later stages. Since you don't have any teeth behind first molar, you cannot go for fixed appliance even if you want in the future. Try to save the tooth. I hope my answer will help you. Take care

On the last day of my vacation (in Mexico), I noticed a small bruise forming on my collar bone. Later that day, the bruise got larger, and then I noticed a jellybean size bump in the middle of this bruise. I have no recollection of injuring myself. I am 100% sure that I did NOT wake up in the middle of the night and smash into a wall. I have no idea what this bruise is from, or if it is something I should be worried about. Can someone PLEASE help ease my mind?
|
Hello and thank you for your question. It sounds like you may have had a bite from some sort of insect. Sometimes our bodies react to insect bites (even the ones we do not feel at the time) by forming a bruise and a small cyst like lump. This should go away on its own. I would not worry about it unless you become sick in some other way. If you develop fevers, rash or pain please see a doctor. Thank you for using Chat Doctor.

Hello Dr. I have gone through 10 radiation treatments to my brain and was weaning off the steroids a few days ago I lost the ability to talk intermitted, appears when I am stressed, and now experiencing a burning feeling in my right hand and right side of face also intermitted it is common
|
Hi ! Good morning. I am Chat Doctor answering your query. Radiation treatment causes some functional derangement of any kind of cell/tissue partly due to swelling of the cells and partly due to the damage to normal cells as well. Therefore, your present symptoms could either be due to the neural cells being affected by the radiation treatment or could be due to the original condition for which radiation treatment was advised to you. This effect could be transitional or permanent depending on the extent of its effect. If I were your doctor, I would advise you for some euro vitamins, along with a referral to a neurologist if the symptoms increase. I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in solving this problem. Thanks for using the Chat Doctor forum for your health query. Wishing you an early recovery. Chat Doctor.

|
Hi, It may be viral rash, most probably erythema infectious. Consult the dermatologist for the perfect diagnosis and proper treatment. If it is viral rash, it may vanish in few weeks. Symptomatic treatment may be considered like antihistamines for itching, paracetamol for fever and antibiotic to prevent secondary bacterial infection. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

my son aged 3 years.Height is having fever for last two days and simultaneously he is complaining of abdominal pain when we took him to doctor ,he predicts it is typhoid.He has been given medicines such as Cefuroxime Axetil,Rem -cc (cough and cold syrup and Becosules syrup .Is he been given the correct medicines ?What diet Ishould maintain for him? How lo0ng it will take him to get cured?
|
Hello dear! The medicines prescribed by the doctor are alright but I would like you to have a blood culture report done to know which antibiotic should be prescribed depending on the sensitivity of the bacteria causing the illness. You should give him soft diet for at least 1 week like porridge, wheat or rice cereal, custard,bread soaked in milk, boiled rice with properly cooked and mashed beans/lentils. A balanced diet which has fewer spices and fat. Give him boiled water and fresh vegetables and fruits after washing them and peeling them properly. Maintain a good hygiene. Hope it will help. Wishing your child good health

Hi I have been diagnosed with Pneumonia, but no steps were taken to see if it was viral or bacterial. Is it important to know for the treatment? I now have asthma symptoms with a wheezy chest and I still need to cough up mucus which is still coloured, although lighter than when I first got the Pneumonia.
|
Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor, Irrespective of the causative agents, if there are any signs and symptoms of the pneumonia the patients will be put on treatment for pneumonia. As you are having cough with sputum it looks like a bacterial infection of the lower respiratory tract. The infections of the lower respiratory tract will trigger the allergic mediators like histamine and causes the narrowing of the bronchioles and may exacerbate the symptoms of the asthma. Patients with asthma and LETI, should be treated carefully with proper antibiotics, Multics, oxygen and steroid therapy. Thank you.

Hi! Good evening. I am Chat Doctor answering your query. If I were your doctor, I would clinically assess your abdomen, followed by some investigations like a urine routine/microscopic/culture and sensitivity test, a serum Chat Doctor test, and an ultrasound abdomen to rule out any pathology in the intrapelvic organs, apart from a gynecological check-up by a gynecologist in your area. Till then, I would advise you for an antispasmodic along with a proton pump inhibitor Chat Doctor. Further management would depend on the clinical assessment and related investigation reports. I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts. Thanks for choosing Chat Doctor to clear doubts on your health problems. I wish you an early recovery. Chat Doctor.

Hello, I have a slight pain/discomfort while urinating. This began last week right after I got back from a beach vacation where I was constantly in a bathing suit. I have also had a stomach ache for the last couple of days (dont know if its related). What could this be?
|
Hi ! Good evening. I am Chat Doctor answering your query. If I were your doctor, I would go for a clinical examination of your abdomen, followed by a routine/microscopic/culture and sensitivity test of morning sample of your urine, a complete blood count, to rule out a urinary tract infection and treat it in case it comes out to be positive. Otherwise, I would also go for an ultrasound of your abdomen to rule out any intro abdominal pathology. Till then, I would advise you for an anti-inflammatory, along with a proton pump inhibitor Chat Doctor. I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts.

I had a fall a week ago resulting in a numerous fracture (spiral) as I was falling I reached up a grabbed the top of the refrigerator as my feet slipped out from under me..I feel like I may have also some tendon and muscle damage..I cannot lift my arm from straight down position from the side. Do you think this may be a sign of damage other than just a numerous f2f?
|
Hello, I have studied your case. Inability to lift arm can be due to rotator cuff injury which may need MRI for confirmation. Medication like methylcobalamine with muscle relaxant and analgesic will reduce pain, you can take them consulting your treating doctor. You may consult physiotherapist for further guidance. He may start TENS, or ultrasound which is helpful in your case. You may need to take rest for early healing. Also check your it B12 and it D3 in your blood. 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 disregards Chat Doctor.

I went skydiving yesterday and landed on my tailbone at quite high speed on landing....the impact was too great for my legs (fierce stinging pain) so without thought I sat the landing....I m moving better but I now have a promonite red line down my crack from the spine region of my lumbar to the tailbone....
|
Hi, Thank you for posting your query. I have noted your symptoms and based on the description, your injury seems to be minor, and no important structures seem to have got injured. The red line is possibly due to skin trauma/rupture and would heal on its own in a few days. If there is pain in that region, an MRI scan may be done to look for any slipped disc. I hope my answer helps. Please get back if you have any follow-up queries or if you require any additional information. Wishing you good health, Chat Doctor. Ly/

I have had some tooth pain in my lower left jaw here for a few weeks and all the sudden i woke up in the middle of the night and i cant fall back asleep. Its labor day and all dental offices are closed so i go to the er. The give me penacilin and Tylenol with codine. Later i get my perscription and go to work. Then i take one of each and in about 6 and a half hours later i have a huge knot in my jaw of puss. Almost as big as my fist. I cant see a dentis for another 12 hours and im afraid if i fall asleep it could burst and being asleep i dont realize it. It went from a little annoying infection to full blown in less than a day. What do i do? Even with psin killers i can still somewhat feel the pain
|
Hi Welcome to Chat Doctor . I have gone through your query and can understand your concern. Following things can be done in case of pain & infection in jaw1. Mix one teaspoon of salt into an eight-ounce glass of warm water. Use this rinse after every meal and before bed to help reduce inflammation and prevent infection.2. Use pain relievers. Over-the-counter medications like acetaminophen and ibuprofen can be taken to reduce inflammation and manage pain. Take only the recommended dosage, as taking too much of a pain reliever may cause liver damage and other health problems.3. Use a cold compress- If you have swelling one side of face, Apply a cold compress to the affected side of your face for 20 minutes, to manage the pain and inflammation in the jaw and mouth. Do not use a hot compress with an abscessed tooth, as heat may allow the infection to spread. Visit your dentist, as early as possible Hope your query is solved well soon

Hi i am a 44 year old woman, height 5ft 3 inches 102.kg in weight but i was 111kg, going down slowly due to diet. Low choloesterol. I go to the gym 3 times a week. I keep having a kind of cold pain centrally in my chest, which sometimes radiates up my neck. It does not last long, does not make me feel sick. I did have an ecg about 3 years ago which was clear. Blood pressure is relatively normal. Could i have a heart problem? Any suggestions before I panic and book a doctors appointment for another ecg?
|
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. In my opinion, your symptoms are mostly due to stress and anxiety. No need to worry about heart diseases as your blood pressure is normal, and cholesterol level is low. You are approaching menopause and in this age, women tend to have stress, anxiety and panic. So better to 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 with all these. 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.

6 month old baby girl stool anlysis .... GROSSconsisitency
|
Hi...this is a completely normal stool examination. Nothing to worry about it. I guess you would have done this after she developed some loose stools. It seems your kid is having viral diarrhea. Once it starts it will take 5-7 days to completely get better. Unless the kids having low urine output or very dull or excessively sleepy or blood in motion or green bilious vomiting...you need not worry. There is no need to use antibiotics unless there is blood in the motion. Antibiotics might worsen if unnecessarily used causing antibiotic associated diarrhea. I suggest you use zinc supplements (Z&D Chat Doctor.

I have all the symptoms of an Inguinal hernia,(sore groin, inner thigh pain when running, and sometimes testicular pain) but no bulge. The doctor said it was not a hernia, but a hamstring pull, And gave me anti-inflammatory drugs, could this be true? Or maybe a groin pull instead?
|
HelloThanks for query. Pain in groin, inner thigh, and testicle could be either Inguinal Hernia or Epididymitis You need to be confirmed by clinical examination by a qualified General Surgeon and get following basic tests done to confirm the diagnosis .1) Ultrasound Scanning of abdomen and pelvis 2) Ultrasound Scanning of scrotum.In the meanwhile continue taking anti-inflammatory Chat Doctor. Further treatment will depend upon result of these tests and final diagnosis.

I slightly stubbed my big toe and now my whole area around the toe is swollen and I can barely walk...its quite painful, especially on top of the foot around the big toe. The injury was extremely minor at the time and seems to have gotten worse without any further injury. What Should I do to treat it?
|
Hello, Your pain and swelling following trauma, requires further evaluation with x-ray to rule out fracture. Please be advised to follow-up with an orthopedic to get an x-ray done. Meanwhile, apply cold compress to the affected area, elevate the leg, take adequate rest and Ibuprofen (if not allergic) for pain. Toe fracture is treated with immobilization of toe with cast/buddy tape. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

My brother is married person and got problem with night fall regularly.bcoz of this he feels very week.he is almost sure that because of regular night fall he got liver problem too.He told me that few years back,once he had sex for 90 mins while he was drunk and he fainted and woke up in the morning,after that he is having problem with lower stomach(just above the penis) and from that time he is having nightfall problem.
|
Hello Its completely normal to have nightfall in teenage and adults, however it could be due to excessive masturbation, over production of semen or its thin consistency, weakness of semen holding tubes, excessive use of semen producing diets, avoiding sexual act for a longer duration of time and weakness of kidneys as well. I suggest you to visit your doctor for your brothers detailed checkup and proper treatment if needed I hope I have answered your query.

I have had a cough and mucus/flem issue from my nose and lungs for two months now. It has really started to hurt, it gets worse at night and once I start coughing it is hard to stop. I don t smoke and I m not around smoke. I sound like a smoker and would blame it on that or second hand if I was exposed to it, however, I m not. It is slowly worsening but my tissue use has slowed down. Do I have cancer
|
Hello dear, thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your situation and problem. In my opinion you should consult pulmonologist and get done 1. Clinical examination of respiratory system. 2. Chest x-ray 3. PUT (Pulmonary Function Test). By your symptoms and history, possibility of asthma or bronchitis is high. Chest x-ray is needed to rule out lung infection and lung cancer. PFT is needed for the diagnosis of asthma or bronchitis. It will also tell you about severity of the disease. And treatment is based on severity only. So get done PFT. You may need inhaled bronchodilators and antihistamines Chat Doctor. Don't worry, you will be alright. Consult pulmonologist and first diagnose yourself and then start appropriate treatment.

Hi, a friend has come to me with a problem, he has recently had sex with his partner and has since noticed small yellow spots develop under his foreskin which are sore and gradually spreading, with limited knowledge i need a more professional opinion, he will be seeing a GP tomorrow but would like to know what hes up against in the mean time
|
HelloThanks for query. You have not mentioned sex whether it was a protected sex with condom or unprotected sex. In case of unprotected sex there is possibility of acquiring infection of the glans and foreskin due to allergic reaction to her vaginal secretion. She should consult her gynecologist for examination and take necessary treatment. If he has protected sex with condom it can be due to allergic reaction to chemical used as a lubricant in condom. You need to take broad spectrum antibiotic like Definite along with anti-inflammatory Chat Doctor. Along with topical antibiotic ointment like Newsprint twice daily. Ensure he washes his genitals with warm water twice daily. Ask him to avoid sexual encounters till it heals up completely.

Hello Doctor,Im 32 yrs. and have two childern ages 10 & 12. I was diagnos with a mild case of Von Williebrands disease and I have always have had Irregular periods. When I was younger in my teen years I hardly ever had my periods and now it wont stop. I have been on my cycle for 2 months at times light and at times very heavy. I have also been trying to have another child for the last 9 yrs. and no luck. I do realize my weight needs to drop at least 50lbs but this has been a problem since before I gained weight. I really want another child. What test would you recommend me doing no one seems to know anything please help...thank you!!
|
On Willie brands disease does not stop you from getting pregnant. Yes bleeding can be more during delivery or during menses because of less capability of blood to clot. But as the age increases the quality of eggs (Ovum) starts decreasing and less chance of getting pregnant. There is also hormonal lag along with body weight and other things leads to menstrual cycle and as you have irregular menses there is chance that they are disturbed. You have to lose weight. And get a consultation done with infertologist. He will guide you properly after examination and history. On a baseline you should do mammogram, Prolactin, Blood sugar level, Insulin level, Thyroid level. And one Pelvic sonography. Some tests may require afterward. Do one semen analysis report of your husband also. It is also to be normal for getting pregnant.

This started about a week ago and started happening everyday. I would eat something and then about 15-30 min later i would feel this ache in my upper abdomen or stomach. This would then lead to a feeling of needed to go, and sometimes I actually do go. Most of the time I would just be able to feel something moving in my bowels, Im sure you all know that feeling.
|
Hi ! Good morning. I am Chat Doctor answering your query. If I were your doctor, I would advise you not to eat from outside if you do as intestinal infection could creep in from outside. If yes, it could be the feature of meiosis, a common infection for those who eat from outside, which is never so hygienic. I would advise you to go for a routine stool test for ova and cyst and get it treated which would relieve your symptoms. Till then, you could go for a proton pump inhibitor along with a probiotic for a symptomatic relief. I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts. Thanks for choosing Chat Doctor to clear doubts on your health problems. I wish you an early recovery. Chat Doctor.

sir i am 60 year old and i am having heel pain. i am also suffering from canal stenosis. Dr. have advised me Febuget 40. Should i take it. Today I took one tab. but I feel gastric and mild un easiness in chest which was all right later on .What should I do?.The level of my uric acid is 7.1.Is it high side? should i continue with Febuget 40? Kindly advise.
|
Dear patient. Febuget has Eurostat which is a medicine which blocks the activity of Antoine oxidase and prevents uric acid build up. Normal Uric acid levels are 2.4-6.0 mg/DL (female) and 3.4-7.0 mg/DL (male). Normal values will vary from laboratory to laboratory. Also, important to blood uric acid levels are purines. So your uric acid is on the higher side. This medication is contraindicated for acute gout and generally given for chronic and intergout periods.Your heal pain may be a due to worsening of stenosis due to high uric acid which will probably subside once you take the Chat Doctor. Nausea and gastric unease is common with this medication.Hence, I suggest that you continue to take this medication and if the pain is severe take ibuprofen 800\u00a0mg stat. Also and I can't stress this enough please discuss the side effects of debut with your doctor and inform him/her about you taking ibuprofen

hello doctor, i am 26 years old woman and trying for baby since last 6 months. my doc gave me folic acid and duphastone which i took from 20th may according my doctor. my periods r irregular.last date of period is 3 april. i alsso feeling pain/cramping in my lower stomach n little brown spotting since 4 days... .is it becoz of my delay period or m i pregnant? i should stop duphaston tab or not..still im taking duphaston per day 2 tab. plz reply soon.thnx
|
Hello there, you had your last period on 3rd April and you are on phaeton 2 tablets daily since May 20th. Now you are just having brownish spotting for last 4 days.... so I will suggest you to get a urine pregnancy test with early morning urine sample done. Duphastone is a hormone- progesterone tablets. So if your pregnancy test is positive, you can continue with this tablet, after doing an ultrasound scan as you are having brownish discharge also. If the test is negative, you can discontinue this tablet, so you will get normal periods.

Hi thanks for contacting Chat Doctor... Noted here you have some constitutional symptoms with chest pain and swelling over leg....... So first I want to rule out cardiac cause as you have swelling, and chest pain associated........ Get your blood pressure measurement...ECG and ECHO useful.... If no cardiac cause present then it seems to be viral respiratory infection as in viral infection rash can be there....... It is treated symptomatically....... Take care. Chat Doctor.

Hi I told my MD and a MD that I see here in a hospital. I am in Australia but form the US. I have fibro and renaulds but I am having a lot of pain in my abdomen. My MD ordered an ultrasound and they found between 20 to 30 limpomas. I have them on my arms and legs as well but they dont hurt like the ones inside. They have a lot of trouble with the medical system here and have shut down a lot of spaces in the hospital. I guess what Im saying is This will probably not be followed up. My mother and sister have Dercums.I would like to move home but now I have been told that with the illnesses I have that I would not be able to keep insurance with the new system. So first what can be done for the pain etc and is that true that getting Insurance would be impossible. I also had a mild pontine stroke 2 years ago which basically triggered the fibro which is bad. My life has been ruined. so is there anything that can be done and would moving back to the US be a big mistake? I hope you can read this my typing since the stroke has gone crazy Ive tried to correct what I could see lol. Never mind I just read the pay and get answer. I have no disability so I have no money sorry to waste your time
|
Hello there! Thank you for asking. If the lipomas are bothersome then they can be removed surgically. But the trouble is that you had a stroke history and anesthesia would be a risk. SO pros and conses need to be balanced, and then a decision will be made what to do and what not to. Regarding your insurance you need to decide it for your own self. One can not afford itself in US without insurance. SO there is not much we can do about it from here excerpt wishing you well. But I suggest go where you can get treated. As health is wealthRegards Chat Doctor.

my husband thinks Manic bipolar, because I have anger issues, the only time this comes out is when we are fighting or he says hurtful things to me, he said Ill go from one extreme to another on things when I get angry, I feel like he is always cutting me down, for instance he said I dressed today like I just got out of a dumpster, he said I always dress up nice to go to work or church, but never dress up for him. I do have anger issues but they only come out when he makes me fill bad or hurts my feelings, I want to know if I do have this then I can get treated, I have never had anyone that I work with been with be for say this
|
Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor. Thanks for your query. I understand that you are distressed by your husbands comments and suggestion that you may have bipolar disorder. To clarify on this issue, bipolar disorder is a psychiatric illness where people have alternating episodes of depression and mania. Usually, each of these episodes last for at least two weeks continuously. Merely having anger outbursts or extreme emotional reactions does not qualify for the diagnosis of a bipolar disorder. In order to make a firm conclusion about this diagnosis, a detailed history and a psychological assessment is necessary. So, you can see a psychiatrist for a detailed evaluation to find out the possible cause of your problems. This would also help you find ways to handle your anger issues. Wish you all the best.

Hi, Thanks for your query. There are numerous causes and conditions that produce swelling in the legs. A few important causes are chronic venous insufficiency, Heart related issues, kidney disorders, liver problems, water retention etc. A thorough and detailed evaluation along with a few investigations are needed to establish the correct diagnosis. I suggest you to consult a General physician for further evaluation and management. I do hope that you have found something helpful, and I will be glad to answer any further query. Take care
