I had a burning face rash and spots on my cheeks about a montoh ago. I went to the emergency and the doctor there said I should see a naturpath and do yoga . I am a very active and pretty relaxed person most of the time. I have had pain, piercing pain in my neck and head which has got worse after the rash has disappeared which lasted about a week. I went to my own doctor and she was shocked at what the dr. in emerg said as she said I had shingles . She put me on a drug called lyrica which has make me feel sick, tired and I am still having pains in my head and neck. I can t function and I have to work. Just wondering how long this pain lasts and should I go off the lyrica. I am on 25 mg. twice a day. nI am also seeing a Homeopath Doctor in my area. I am the kind of person that does not like taking drugs and drugs really effect me. Thank you for your help. | HAI, Shingles you will have burning sensation, pain. Redness and vesicles. The symptoms may likely to persist for more than a week. It is a self limiting disease in an immuno-competent person. Tablets of Acyclovir in adequate dose along with painkillers, Antibiotics to control secondary infection and vitamins are necessary. You have to put appropriate Chat Doctor. Otherwise, sometimes you may likely to suffer from a condition called as Post Herpetic Neuralgia. That is even after healing of the lesions, symptoms of pain and burning will persist for months together. So immediately consult your dermatologist and get cured soon. |
Hi, I am a nineteen year old female, and about three days ago I noticed I have a dime sized lump on my right mastoid bone. It is not movable and only causes me pain when I touch it. It is not red or irritated. It is not a bug bite, surely not a blemish, and is very hard, almost bone hard. I have had many ear infections as a kid and know positively that this is not a simple ear infection. I looked up a lot on mastoiditis and cysts. I am no medical professional but I can rule out both just based on the symptoms listed. I have been feeling very fatigued and my lower back/ kidney area has been hurting severely for multiple days. If it is any help, two of my grandmothers on my mothers side had cancer. One had ovarian and the other had breast cancer. I am running out of idea on what it could be and am getting quite frustrated. Going to see a doctor is the next step, but for now I am just looking for possible answers. | Sounds like an enlarged lymph node. Painful enlarged lymph nodes are usually infectious in nature. It can be caused by an ear infection like you have guessed and ruled out or it could be something as simple as acne/pimples in your scalp that has caused it. Based on your description, it is not suspicious for cancer. As for the lower back pain, it could be a lumbar strain. Is it associated with your period? Do you know what activities exacerbate it, and what relieves it? Do you have pain when you move/ bend or when you urinate? |
hello ...my friend had her last period on 24 april and then wen her periods ended she had an intercourse with her fiance and took I pill within 5 hours might be...then she got vaginal bleeding ...wen she counted days it was after 12 days of her last date...please tell me wen she wil get next periods and since she had protected sex ..just for safety due to leaking outside or might be inside ..she took ipill... There us any danger for pregncy... till wen she culd wait for getting periods..or she culd do test | Hello misunderstand your concern Chance of pregnancy is nil as you had sex just after ending of period (safe period) and tool I pill with in 5 hours. Vaginal bleeding is a breakthrough bleeding and due to high progesterone in the pill. Next period will be delayed by 7-8 days from normal expected period date. For safer side, 12-14 days after missed period pregnancy test should be done. Hope this may help noncontact Chat Doctor for further health query Best regards |
I have small white patches all along my gum lines and my gums bleed if I just push on them, and I am experiencing bad breath. I floss and brush and use mouthwash...this has been going on for about a year and is progressivly getting worse. I am a single mother of four and cannot afford to go to the dentist. Is there something I can do over the counter? Thank you!! | Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query. The white patch could be because of lichen plans, candidiasis, or leukoplakia. Consult an oral physician and get it evaluated. The possible cause of halitosis or bad breath could be because of the deposits over the teeth causing gum infection. Or it can be because of the pus discharge secondary to gum or tooth infection or any respiratory tract infection. Consult an oral physician and get yourself examined to rule out these conditions. If it is gum infection get the teeth cleaned once and maintain oral hygiene after that. You can use mouth wash. If it is tooth infection get the tooth restored. If it is respiratory tract infection consult a pulmonologist. I hope my answer will help you, take care. |

i have moderate to severe pain in my lower right back - just to the right of my spine at the top of my buttock. As the pain worsens, it radiates down the front of my right thigh.

THANK YOU! | Dear patient you may be having articular pain due to nerve compression at the lower lumbar spine. If diclofenac and ibuprofen others are not working this needs to be investigated. First X-ray of the lumbosacral spine anteroposterior and lateral views should be done. MRI of the lumbosacral spine would also be required to confirm diagnosis. Meanwhile, take strict bed rest. Start tab moral 4 mg twice a day with tab regain x 75 mg one at bedtime. Avoid forward bending and weight lifting. If not relieved you need to consult orthopedic surgeon nearby your area with report. |
I got a straight line bruise on my upper leg on the inside right about where my tendon runs. I have also gotten a similar loom bruise on my ankle a week ago. I have been having tight tendons as well and was wondering if the bruise where a sign of something worse. | Hi, I have studied your case and clinical photos, There is skin bruise on calf, and there is hematoma near ankle. If swelling is there, you need to take rest and use splint or compressive cr\u00eape bandage to reduce swelling. On ankle, you can apply thrombhophobe ointment. Watch for increase in redness, infection. Take precaution to avoid infection around hematoma. If required you may need to do blood investigation for prognosis and recovery. 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.

Hi there, I should not have been eating some nutella, but I was, and I think a tiny piece or two fell inside and I ate it, because I taste metal. is that really bad? I am a hypochondriac so I don t want to stress unnecessarily. But I watched a CSI episode where a girl swallowed a reel of film and asphyxiated to death. So I was just wondering if there were similar properties is foil as there are in camera film. And I do have asthma already so ya, I m really trying not to stress here. One of my worst fears is suffocating to death... If you could get back to me asap I would really appreciate it. | Hello, Thanks for writing. I am Chat Doctor. I have read your question completely, I understand your concern and will try to help you in the best way possible.First you need to relax. As you said only a tiny piece was swallowed. Probably it won't cause you any harm as it may be dissolved by the stomach and excreted out. Try to see positive things in life relax and be happy |
my husband had renal carcinoma 2 years ago and they removed his left kidney - the tumor was very large and some entered the renal vein. All has been well so far, however, his last checkup showed a shadow on his lung exray - the hospital just called and his original oncologist wants to see him re followup to this new development on Monday - can you tell me what to expect My husband is 55 years old and weighs 165 pounds, 6 feet tall | Based on your description, your husband had a non-metastatic left renal carcinoma for which he underwent radical surgery. I assume that the x-ray done at the time of surgery was normal. However, it is quite possible, considering the advanced tumor (entered the renal vein), that the tumor has come back in the lungs. Lungs as it is the most common site of metastasis for kidney cancer. A contrast enhanced CT scan of the chest or a PET/CT will determine whether this shadow is really the tumor coming back or something else. If it is indeed the tumor, then your husband will need to be placed on targeted therapy (tablet therapy for cancer) |

My left eye gets swollen, red and I get a headache. The optometrist says it might be allergies but I don t think so. I had some sinus congestion recently and was just released from the hospital for having an abcess under my tongue in my throat. I was there to receive I V antibiotics to treat abcess. Dr said to follow up with optometrist for eye problem. | Hi Shrylllanes, If your redness is recurrent in the same eye, it has to be examined under the slit lamp in an eye clinic. Sometimes sinus congestion will simultaneously affect the eyes producing conjunctival congestion alone which recovers once your sinusitis is relieved. Although sinusitis will cause headache, any refractive error should also be ruled out. Cold compresses for 5-10 mins, few times a day, with an antihistamine vasoconstriction eye Chat Doctor. Take care. |

Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like standing for prolonged periods of time, taking estrogen or testosterone, antidepressants, blood pressure medications, steroids or NSAIDs, infection in the leg area, venous insufficiency, organ failure or lymphedema. I would suggest you to consult cardiologist for proper diagnosis once again. Doctor may order liver and kidney function test along with heart tests like ECG and complete blood profile.

I am always tired when i take the medicine. How can i stop taking montek lc. | You are saying if you skip Monte, you get sick with wheezing. It basically doesn't mean you are addicted to it, it means without taking it you get the problem of wheeze. So I would say don't stop taking the Monte without your doctor deciding to stop it. You have to consider taking care of wearing a mask while Chat Doctor. As you get better with time, your doctor may decide to stop it. Until then follow what your doctor has prescribed. |
My 24 year old daughter has a red bump about the size of a quarter, at her hairline above her forehead. It is very swollen and throbs. We have had her to the Dr. (one week ago), and he put her on antibiotics after taking blood and an x-ray, which he said all came back normal. He thought it might be an enlarged lymph node. What do you think our next step should be? | Hi, dear. I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. If you have enlarged lymph node not responding to the treatment then you should go for either biopsy or FNAC of lump. It will clear the picture. Then you should 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. |
HiI have a small lump on my inner upper arm about 1 inch from my inner elbow. The lump is slightly sensitive to touch and I only noticed it a few days ago. There is no bruising in the area to suggest a knock. The lump does move as I can move it with my fingers. Hopefully nothing and just after a bit of advice on whether or not I should see a doctor.Many thanks in advance for your helpSteven | Hi.it is best if you consult with a doctor, preferably a general surgeon, for medical and physical examination. Based from your description, it could be a cyst (a sebaceous or a gelatinous type), a fibrous or a lipoma. These lesions can occur anywhere in the body and have the tendency to recur. Management (medical and surgical if indications are found and the lesion is bothersome for you already) will be directed accordingly. Hope this helps. Good day!!~ Chat Doctor. |
Hello, I had symptoms of UTI last week after getting Brazilian wax and intercourse. It burned when I peed, I had to go to the bathroom constantly, and one time there was blood though very little in my pee. The burning went away after three days, but now it s just itching down there. I also have back pain. Is this still a UTI or a yeast infection, or is it something more serious? I am 19 years old and I m afraid of a kidney infection. I don t have any vomiting issues though. Only constant itching and back pain. Thank you | I understand your concern about your symptoms. Usually urinary tract infection causes burning with urination and frequent urination. The only way to tell it to go to a doctor and have your urine checked. The itching may be from something like yeast or could be from a sexually transmitted infection. The back pain is not likely related. I would suggest you see a doctor and get your urine checked and get a pelvic exam to look for infections. Good luck and I hope you feel better soon. |
I just had an upper endoscopy yesterday and I am experiencing a lot of gas, not hungry and a burning sensation at the top of my stomach. My doctor sails he found some ulcers. Is this common? I have had the same procedure before but never felt like this. | Hello dear, As detected by upper GI endoscopy & revealed by your doctor, you have Peptic ulcers, which are caused due to increased acid production in the stomach. The reason for increased acid production can be Stress, inappropriate diet & lifestyle methods or infection associated with a type of bacteria called Helicobacter pylori (H pylori). Symptomatic relief can be obtained with intake of Proton pump inhibitors like Omeprazole, Pantoprazole, etc. (which prevent acid formation in stomach)It is also needed that you take certain precautions regarding your diet & lifestyle, such as |

I just received a phone call from my doctor with the results from my follow up chest xray and find out that the pneumonia has not gone away and is still about the same size. What should be our next step? She wants to put me on another type of anibiotic. | Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. You are having persistent lung opacity despite antibiotic treatment. So possibility of these is very high. 1. Chat Doctor. Malignancy better to first diagnose and then start appropriate treatment. Bronchoscopy and CT scan of thorax are advised in your case. Bronchoscopy will isolate the causative organism and guide about specific antibiotic therapy.

hi I had two teeth that where bad and pulled out in beginning of march all healed nice no problems. but now one tooth near the one pulled is itchy really bad plus i have a bump on roof of mouth its getting very irritating i have to itchy tooth with my tongue and hurts a little whats is causing it? and why do i have a bump on top roof of mouth its sore is that maybe a bone left from other tooths that where pulled? | Hi Dear, Welcome to Chat Doctor Team. Understanding concern about your health. As your two tooth had been pulled and you feeling sensitivity or tenderness in area around those tooth, need not worry about it. It's nothing serious, the space around the tooth from where two teeth have been extracted is empty now, and it causes deposition of bacteria, food particles. These bacteria keep on accumulating and improper brushing in that area builds them up which causes sensitivity, itchiness in that area and that is the reason your tongue keeps on going in that area due to pressure built due to bacterial deposition. Hard bump on the roof could be because of any sharp tooth in lower arch which keeps on irritating upper arch as this is very common occurrence after extraction. What you need to do is maintain proper hygiene of your oral cavity. Brush at least twice a day. Use flossing interdentally to remove debris. Visit your nearby dentist for cleaning of your teeth. Get the sharpened edges trimmed. Apply colonel in the sharp bump area it will go away. Hope your concern has been resolved. Get well soon. Best wishes, |
I have a 26 year old son with cerebral palsy, slight mental retardation, hearing loss and a history of seizures. Recently he has been showing a strong interest in the opposite sex. My concern is that the probability of having any sexual relations is next to none and he is showing signs of anxiety, and frustration. Often witChatDoctorplaints of headaches, stomach aches, and chest pains ( of which we took him 1 year ago to the emergency for). I am at a loss as to what to do to help him, and redirecting his natural and normal interest in women. | Hello! Welcome and thank you for asking on Chat Doctor! I understand your concerning and would explain that this is a normal physiological reaction, related to the hormonal changes of his age. Anyway, considering his situation, a real sexual relationship would really change is mental balance. For this reason, I would recommend directing his energies towards something recreational |
I am a 21 year old female, I don t have any illnesses or allergies. I go to community college in the mornings and work part time at night, I have very little time for me, and sometimes I have a lot of things going on at once that sometimes when I m working, I tend to hold going to urinate, and now I have a very severe abdominal pain that is unexplainable and I don t know what to do, it is very difficult to walk or do anything. What should I do? Is there anything that would help the pain go away or lower it? | Hi Angelita, Your History suggests, you pain is due to stretched bladder. But other factors for your Pain has to be ruled out. Kindly get yourself examined by a Physician to rule out if you have Urinary Tract Infection (UTI) which is common if you try to hold your urine and also kidney stones.

If at all necessary, your doctor will suggest an Ultrasound scan to rule out any pathology along with Urinalysis. The treatment depends upon the cause. Exercise regularly and eat healthy nutritious balanced diet which should include fresh fruits and green leafy veggies. Avoid stress. Wish you Good Health, Take Care. |

Its on going all day, now my nose fits the smell at end its like real red like its getting burnt every time I blow the stuff out. I touched my gum way up high and I think there may be a little bubble, Im pretty sure its abscessed, but my question is can the juice from the abscess, be traveling into my sinuses out thats what im blowing out?? I have a dentist appt. monday morning, I just want to make sure that thats whats going on?? I started on amoxicillan, today.??? please tell Im not going to die.... | Hello, You describe the symptoms of a badly decayed tooth that has abscessed. You should take an antibiotic by prescription from your dentist. I usually prescribe amoxicillin to control the inflammation and spread of infection. Patients of record, can ask for a prescription to be called into the pharmacy. You need to be taking the correct dose and at specific time intervals. Anti-inflammatory medication such as ibuprofen and acetaminophen may reduce symptoms. The anti-histamine Ben Chat Doctor.

I am 48 years old and have had kidney stones since I was 19. I just recently had lithrotripsy to take care of a 14 mm stone. Sometimes I can feel them pass, sometimes I cannot. Does this mean my ureters are damaged or scarred? Also, how many CT scans are too many. I seem to average about 4 a year. Also, I have already had a parathyroidectomy and watch my diet. Any ideas? | Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor. As a Urologist, let me advise you, that as a stone former, you need CT- scan (plain), once a year. ESL is ideal for kidney stones up to 2.5 CMS size. Stones above 1 cm size or causing pain need treatment. The fragments do no harm to ureter. If stent is placed, (optional only), it can injure the ureter. Chat Doctor. You should be more careful after para-thyroidectomy, as small stones need no treatment. You must have done blood calcium, phosphorus, and uric acid.You're welcome to send a copy of your reports, with last CT, here, in my name, for an expert opinion. Get well soon. |
Hi Doctor,Im 26 and I have a very slight redness at the tip of my penis as well as a few wrinkles. These were developed through having a lot of intercourse I believe I slept with a girl pretty much once or twice a day for about 2 months. Ive seen a couple of different doctors and they say its nothing to worry about, being I have had every STI test you can think of and they all came back negative I am not concerned as such. When I am erect my penis looks completely normal and I dont experience any pain or anything. Just wondered if there is anything I can do to get rid of them as although I know they arent dangerous or anything I would prefer if my penis looked like when it was flacid before, wrinkle and redness free. Thanks | Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor forum. It appears to be due to the over friction, may be due to the congestion of the vessels there. First thing I advise is the rest, give rest to the penis at least for 15 days. I usually prescribe to my patient with such symptoms' fluconazole, and lifetime, daily 2 for 10 days, and multivitamin tablet daily one for one month. Take more of green leafy vegetables, pulses, sprouts, and protein rich foods to have a healthy tissue. Wishing for a quick and complete recovery. Thank you. |
I am having a vein bulging above my right and left year from past 4 days. Can this be due to wisdom tooth and jaw displacement ??? I met a neurologist and he told its due to my working conditions. Could you please provide tips on how to reduce or cure myself and any precautions that I should be aware of ... Thanks | Hello, It would have been helpful if you had described the working conditions the neurologist has advised you against. Some more information regarding the wisdom tooth and jaw displacement problem that you may have suffered in the past would be good too to advise you in your situation. However, wisdom teeth are not known to be associated with any building vein above the ear. In addition, as you have the vein on both the sides, it does not seem to be related to wisdom tooth. Regarding jaw displacement problem, do you suffer from dislocation of jaw that happens frequently when you try to open your mouth wide? Have you met with an accident in the past and injured the TMJ? If any of these two cases is your case, then I would advise you to visit an oral and maxillofacial surgeon for physical examination and further investigations of the TMJ area. Treatment of any disorder present in that area can help you. If you do not have any TMJ problem and vein is not causing you any trouble or discomfort, then you can ignore it unless it presents with any symptoms in the future. Alternatively, you can take opinion of an ENT surgeon to rule out any pathology in relation with ears. I hope this information helps. Thank you for choosing Chat Doctor. Take care. Best, |

ct study of thorax and abdomen SPIRAL CT REPORTthis examination demonstrates mild pleural thickening in the right mid hemithorax posteriorly with subpleural bands in the adjacent right lower lobe. Liver ia in normal size .there is diffuse fatty infiltration of liver.please guide what to do in this situation or guide any medicine for it | Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. I have gone through the CT report you have mentioned. In thorax, it is showing pleural thickening and bands. These are healed lesions from previous pleural effusion or pleurisy (inflammation of pleura). No treatment is required for this because they are scarred, inactive lesions. In liver, you are having fatty infiltration. This means that you are having higher body fat. So try to reduce weight and stay fit and healthy. Start exercising and dieting. Avoid alcohol Because this can also cause fatty liver. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks. |
Hi! I have been experiencing neck pain for 2-3 years now. It is most severe when I have pressure or any strain to my neck especially when laying down. It is very difficult for me to get any sleep. I have gone to several doctors in the last 2 years which has led me to have x-rays, ultrasounds, ct-scans, blood work, cortisone injections, physiotherapy, IMS treatments, electronic muscle therapy, and in the last 3 weeks have started massage therapy. So far, the massages are the only thing that have even started to help relieve some of the pressure. In X-rays it showed I have degenerative disc disease. But in the last 6 months I have been experiencing such excruciating pain in my neck, that the pain shoots up through my ear and gives me such severe headaches that it makes me want to throw up. Other things that have been happening in the past 6 months that kind of have me concerned is that I have occasional body twitches, kind of that jerky feeling you get when you dream your falling from the sky. I also have been experiencing temporary body paralysis where I cannot move my body for long periods of time. HELP! I m only 39 years old. | Disc issues could have been detected on MRI.anyway if orthopedic doctors have tried all modalities of treatment, now massage helps, it's good. Apply Voltaren gel also. For nerve pain take methycobalamin and lyrics 75\u00a0mg twice a day for 6 weeks, and you may notice significant difference. At bedtime, take next plus. For sleep panic disorder. Consult a physician fir obtaining prescription if he agrees to my suggestion |

Commonly acid peptic disorder may be there like peptic ulcer, Gastritis, this is more so because of smoking. You should visit a Physician and after examination if necessary Upper G. I endoscopy should be performed, even ultrasonography of abdomen may give clue to the cause of pain in abdomen. Ibuprofen itself can cause Chat Doctor. Treatment depends on cause of your symptoms.

I ve had my implant in my arm for 3 weeks now and I m concerned about it. I ve had no emotional problems or anything but my arm has a red line down it and it is itchy. A friend of mine had hers done less than a week ago and you can t see hers. Should I be worried? | Hi, Once your body heals from the insertion of the birth control implant, you should not experience any itching or any skin changes. The rod also should not be visible unless someone is examining your arm very closely. The fact that you see redness on your arm is very concerning that the area may have become infected. I would recommend that you follow up with your doctor or healthcare provider who inserted the implant, as you may need to be treated with antibiotics or even have the implant removed. There is no reason to worry, however you should be seen right away (within a week) or if that is not possible at your doctor's office, a visit to a local urgent care center or emergency room would be a good idea. I hope that I was able to adequately answer your question today, and I hope you get diagnosed accurately and treated soon. Best wishes, |
My 8 month old son has a low grade fever (99-100 degrees). However, last night we noticed that his feet were cold (not ice cold but cold) even with pajamas to cover his feet. He slept a lot today. All the online forums bring up meningitus. I dont think that is it but want to be sure. | In an 8-month patient there is no such thing as \"classical\" signs or symptoms of meningitis. It is true that many cases of meningitis have higher fevers, are accompanied by stiff neck, nausea, vomiting, etc. However, at that young age many of these symptoms may be absent. If I were in your position I would default to take the baby for a checkup with the pediatrician. They may be able to get some blood work and the pediatrician can do some examination maneuvers to see whether meningitis is likely or not. It may turn out to just be a viral syn Chat Doctor.

I have been sick for 3 weeks. I never had a fever, but I had flu like symptoms. I am on my 2nd set of antibiotics and also take Advir 2 times a day. My symptoms today are shortness of breath by going up or down a flight of stairs, bending over or going out in the freezing cold. I also cough really hard. And sometimes cough so hard that I have to run to the bathroom to urinate. What do you think I have? Do I need to do anything else? Or does this just take time to heal? | Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your situation and problem. By your history and description, in my opinion you are mostly having acute bronchitis. It is infection and inflammation of airways. So better to get done PFT (Pulmonary Function Test) for the diagnosis of bronchitis. It will also tell you about severity of the disease and treatment of bronchitis is based on severity only.

The last 2yrs hes been acting stranger and stranger. Then he had a truck accident and hit his head again. Is demenor got even worst with memory problems, blackouts with major aggression. He wouldn t listen and played football anyway and started drinking acohol for the heaches. Now he s in trouble big and he doesn t remember if he done what there accusing him of..At first I thought he was lying now I think he really does have issue of the brain. What are the symptoms and how do I find a doctor to check him and help him if he does..Live in Arkansas.. Thanks --Confused Sorry didn t know you had to pay I haven t work in 6 yrs do to muscle spasms in my body that no one can figure out the cause b/c test keep comming back normal.. They still hurt though.. Thank You for your time anyway. Sorry... | Hello Thanks for askingDementia Pugilistic also called as chronic traumatic encephalopathy is a type of dementia that occur in boxers after repeated trauma on head. The main clinical features are declining memory and features of Parkinson's disease like tremors and a number of other symptoms. He is having forgetfulness but no other symptoms are there that can label him with dementia pugilistic. Multiple trauma to head and then one serious accident are most likely the reason for his personality change. He is acting stranger, have problems of aggression, don't listen anyone and has started taking alcohol. He is not remembering the episode of aggression. Such symptoms may occur some time following head trauma because of injury to frontal and temporal lobe of brain. Injury to brain may cause personality changes and may aggravate anti-social behavior. Loss of short term memory might be due to trauma only. I would advise you to consult a good Psychiatrist for his treatment. To decrease his aggression and post-traumatic complications medicines like Mood Stabilizers like Sodium Valproate, Carbamazepine etc. can be used. Hope this helps you, thanks |

I fell down the stairs on concrete floor today and right after i got up i had severe nauseous, dehydration, and dizziness. i have no broken bones just a bruised back and jamed fingers, im curious to know if this could be something severe or just something that will go away over time? | Hi. The blunt trauma over the abdomen can have many consequences. You have already developed a few symptoms suggestive of some internal problems. This can be a contusion to any internal organ, perforation of the bowel and so on. The best way to get a proper diagnosis is to have a clinical / physical examination by a Surgeon to see the abdomen and vitals like temperature, pulse, BP etc. You have to go for the tests of the blood, urine and stool as well as ultrasonography and X-ray of the abdomen in a standing position. CT scan to confirm any positive findings. I would advise such a patient to get admitted to the hospital for observation and management. |

Hai... im 37 yr old person. To drive a car i want get some more power in my right leg hich is effected by polio at the age of 2yrs. N i got operated 2 times on my leg. to operate the accelator in a auto transmition car i need to strengthen my leg musils. Can u suggist any exciresize. | Hi, as you mentioned you are having poliomyelitis and the leg has become weaker, and you need to know the exercises for it. Well, telling just a regular leg exercises will not help. As it is a year of time when the muscle is progressively becoming weak to first thing here is to check the muscles which are activated. Also by doing an EMG and NCV we will come close to find out which muscles are in active state to implement the proper exercise. Learning exercises for individual muscles will help provide input. Also, PNF exercises will work and extend the strength in muscle. It will be a slow and gradual way of getting strength. Also, I am currently seeing the patient with same issues. We are working with different protocols. Only looking for leg Strengthening is not sufficient as body works as a unit. Using an electric stimulation to the muscles which may take some time for muscles to accept and reflect the improvement will take some time but performed along with exercise have helped my. Patients to a degree. I will recommend meeting a physical therapist and get the assessment of muscles done, and you can also learn exercises for individual muscles which later on you can do at home. With the game of God I wish you a speedy recovery |

However I had unprotected sex 4 years ago, there having been a 4 year interim between unprotected sex. How likely is it that I could be HIV positive? | Hi HPV is a sexually transmitted infection(STI) just like HIV. When you are diagnosed of any STI, it is always good to exclude the others. However, HIV is not only transmitted through sex. HIV like HPV when diagnosed early and manage is not lethal. So be calm, have control of yourself. Then request an HIV test in the hospital. If negative, run another test after 3 months. If positive, start your treatment early and enjoy a normal life. Wait for the results of your cervical biopsy and trust your Doctor. All will be well. Stay blessed |

Hey doc..Im a 20 year old male turning 21 in November. I really have a small penis its really a joke. Iam really ashamed of it and I dont feel like a man if Im around with my friends.its like a 9 year old boys penis when it erects its approximately 10cm in erect. Is there any solution or way to enlarge my penis? Or what problem do I have. Iam even scared 2 have sex. | HelloThanks for query. You have doubt about the length and size of your penis being small. The length of the penis in flaccid state has no significance at all, it is the hardness of the penis on erection that is important from the point of view of sexual satisfaction of both the partners. The woman vagina on arousal is capacious enough to accommodate hard erected penis of the length of 4 inches without any pain. Consult qualified Urologist to measure the length of your penis both in flaccid state and on erection. This will help to allay your anxiety. Chat Doctor. |
Good afternoon doctor , i was put on Warferin for life, i suffer extreme pain in my back and hipjoints i want to stop the warfiren and use Disprin cardio care as it says on the package it unclots the blood same as what warfein does. is it safe for me to do so? | Hello, I am not sure what Disdain cardio care is, but it sounds like it might be aspirin, in which case it would not be safe to replace your Warfarin with it. Whatever Disdain is, it is unlikely to be as effective as Warfarin is for preventing blood clots. Since blood clots can potentially be very dangerous, I would definitely not stop taking the Warfarin without discussing it with your doctor. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Chat Doctor. |

I am of the opinion that the squeeze 3 myths back had aggravated it to the red-large lump. In my opinion it appears to be a keloid -a fibrous lump-which has grown in the old scar -of the C-Section. Alert-You should act fast and go to surgeon and get the FNAC -done and rule out any malignant change in the scar-keloid. As you had no pain and complaints of any fever and discharge on squeez-this is the most probable possible disease. There are many other possibilities which the surgeon-would rule out before giving any treats. Hope you got the answer to your query satisfactorily. Wellcom again. |
Hi doctor ... my 3 years baby have high temp from yesterday .... doctor gave her Imol and maxtra for cold both in 2.5ml 3 times a day ....then also her temp doesn t comes down what I should do to reduce temp but heat is there on body and head but her legs and hand are cold .... plz help me .... Thank you | Hi...this differential temperature difference is quite common high fever in viral illness. Fever of few days without any localizing signs could as well a viral illness. Usually rather than fever, what is more important is the activity of the child, in between 2 fever episodes on the same day. If the kid is active and playing around when there is no fever, it is probably viral illness and it doesn't require antibiotics at all. Once viral fever comes it will there for 4-7 days. So do not worry about duration if the kid is active. Paracetamol can be given in the dose of 15\u00a0mg/kg/dose (maximum ceiling dose of 500\u00a0mg) every 4-6th hourly that too only if fever is more than 100F. I suggest not using combination medicines for fever, especially with Paracetamol. Hope my answer was helpful for you. I am happy to help any time. Further clarifications and consultations on Chat Doctor are welcome. If you do not have any clarifications, you can close the discussion and rate the answer. Wish your kid good health. |

Hi I recently received the depo-provera shot on October 9th. By the 12th I started feeling tired and now I can t even go to school with out feeling sick and very very tired.

i have this sharp pain on the left side of my lower abdomen towards the back. it has pained me before in 2009,2011 and now it has come again. 2009 it was on my leftside , 2011 it was on both sides. it usally comes slowly.i can start feeling it lightly likse a month before it comes fully. it hurts bad and i find it difficult to lie down. also i feel like belching but when i want to belch it hits me the more .in 2011 i was rushed to the ER and lot of tests were conducted but they were all negative. what can this be? | Hi and welcome to Chat Doctor! Thanks for posting your query here. The left lower abdominal pain in your case suggests a renal colic. Renal colic is presence of stones in the kidney pathway. You have not mentioned your age and what sort of tests conducted. The stones while passing through the passage will cause acute pain. If the diameter of the stone is less than 3\u00a0mm they will be passed out in the urine without any difficulty. If the size is more than 5\u00a0mm it causes obstruction and dilatation of the structures called HY Chat Doctor. This can be treated by ECSWL-extracorporeal shock wave lithography or lithotomy. The feeling to belch is due to the referred pain caused by the renal colic. Sometimes this will be associated with nausea and vomiting also. An x-ray of KUB-kidney, ureter, and bladder, or an ultrasonogram of the pelvis will give you a clue of the diagnosis. Another condition acute pancreatitis could be a reason for your pain. A thorough blood check and ultrasonogram will give the exact picture. Hope this is helpful to regards |

Has viable sperm ever been extracted post humously and used successfully - 5 days after death, if the body is kept cool in the mortuary? We have been told that it is worth trying. I know the standard is 36 to 72 hours but my daughter suffered a miscarriage last month and her husband died unexpectedly on Tuesday. They wanted a child so much. | Hello Welcome to Chat Doctor, thanks for posting this. Sorry to hear this loss. Hope you get enough strength to combat this loss. I read your question fully and understood the situation, but frankly speaking it's not a possible thing. I've seen so many such infertility cases being a senior doctor, but 5 days post death is next to impossible. Some may advise in order to calm you down but I'm being frank and telling you the truth. Basically all the cells die, maximum by say 24 hours including sperms. So there's no possibility. Hence, I suggest you to not give a try. Hope I'm not rude or bad to you. Get back to me in case you need any further help. Take care. |
I am off sick with stress/work related. I am having chest pains on my left side upper breast. Sometimes I have a throbbing pain in my left arm when I have this pain. I am not breathless when I inhaled. Iam on amitryptylline 10mg to help me relax. It maybe muscleskeleteal. Do you think I should go to A&E when I have this pain for an ECG? I am 53, 52kg and 5ft. I have a history of Lichens scelerosis but no cardiac history. | Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. By your history and description, possibility of stress and anxiety related symptoms is more but as you are in post menopausal age (53 years), better to first rule out heart diseases. Post menopausal women are at increased risk of heart diseases because of low estrogen and progesterone. So get done ECG and 2d echo first. If both these are normal then no need to worry about heart diseases. Stress and anxiety related symptoms is more likely. So consult psychiatrist and get done counselling sessions. Try to identify stressor in your life and start working on its solution. You may need newer anxiolytic Chat Doctor. Don't worry, you will be alright. But first rule out heart diseases, 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, may I answer your health queries right now ? Please type your query here... My daughter gets a fever (around 102) for a couple hours one day every couple weeks and then she is fine , but last night and it lasted about eight hours , any ideas what may cause this ? thanks | Hi there, Well, fever is usually a common symptom when there is an infectious process, whether of viral origin, bacterial, among others. But also it is usually accompanied by other symptoms that help to know its origin, for example, chills, cough, gonorrhea, among others. It is difficult for me to give you a complete answer since I do not know any other symptoms besides the fever and because I am not doing a physical examination. I would like to know more in order to help you clarify your doubts. At the moment if the only symptoms have been fever, my recommendation is that you perform a blood test to determine its etiology in order to obtain an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment. I hope I have been helpful, if you have any other doubts, feel free to ask me, ill be glad to help you. |
Hi! Im 19 and have two decayed teeth on either sides in my mouth. It started when I was 12 but I was unaware of it back then. When I finally realised, I thought it was too late to go to a doc. He might just get them pulled out. So i was scared. Recently, my front teeth have begun to look a lil brown. Are they decaying as well? Im scared to go to any dentist. | Hellooo...read through your query...first thing I can say is that pulling out of teeth is not the first treatment of decay.(in fact its last treatment).so don't worry about that...u must take a X-ray and go to a dentist.based on X-ray if the decay is too deep(since u said brown discoloration it can be deep) then u might have to do root canal treatment and crown.if not that deep then get a regular filling done...nothing to be scared of dentist.nowadays dentist also don't like plucking tooth out.v prefer to conserve the tooth.so I will say u to meet a dentist and get the treatment done...regarding front tooth also same procedure as told before applies.so don't be late.save your teeth.dentists are always there for caring your oral cavity...hope your benefitted something from this reply.have a healthy day!!! |

Deep breathing and relaxation exercises are helpful in these situations. Take care and have a nice day. |

My partner has sarcoma cancer which has now spread to liver and lungs . Just recently he has been very bad tempered and I cannot seem to speak to him without him having this anger going on. Does these other symptoms mean it is now going to his brain? and how long do you think he will now live for | Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. Sarcomas are highly aggressive blood malignancy. It can metastasize to all organs of the body. Liver and lung being highly vascular organs effect more. Liver and lung metastases points towards worse prognosis. And disease like cancer has great impact on psychosomatic behavior of the patient. So anger and depression are very common in end stage cancer patients. Better to deal these with discussion on and of life issues with patient. And life expectancy is usually less than 4-6 years. |

Hi ... My baby .. She is two n half year old... Got dry cough like barking from yesterday.. And got fever in last night... Help me what to give her.. And she is not having anything... Thanks lux | Hi. From your description I understand your child has got a laryngopharyngitis which is an inflammation of the throat and upper airways. You have mentioned it as barking cough. If its severe enough associated with change in voice or her face turning reddish while coughing, I feel it's better to start her on antibiotics. If your country permits over the counter medicines you can give her oral azithromycin syrup (please send me her recent weight, I will tell you the dose). You can give syrup PHENERGAN (Chat Doctor.

I always feel like there is water or fluid on the side of my head. When I do get it out I can feel a cool feeling on the side of the head. I have trouble in the winter I have to where a cotton ball in that ear because it aches in the winter with the fluid in it. What do do think it is. | Hi, Thanks for writing in. It is likely that the nerves on your scalp on one side are more sensitive and give you a feeling of fluid collected below the skin. This might be due to irritation of nerves supplying the scalp. Water or fluid inside the brain is a normal feature and everyone has it. That water is much deeply located and will never communicate with the outside surface of brain. Also, the brain is protected by a strong skull and over that there is scalp skin. In this way it is not the water inside your head but some sort of discomfort arising due to nerve stimulation in head and face region. Please consult a doctor and get a neurological clinical examination done. This will help in arriving at a confirmed diagnosis. Doing a CT scan might be indicated depending on clinical findings and to see if there is any structural changes under the scalp causing that feeling. Please do not worry. |

This backwash can irritate the lining of your esophagus and throat. I advise you to take a stomach acid-suppressing Chat Doctor.

hi ive been suffering lower abdominal pain now for 7 months ive been to the gp numerous times and have been referred for an ultrasound scan, recently after sexual intercourse i started bleeding bright red fresh blood, after the intercourse myself and my partner could feel like a lump on the front wall of my cervix and abdominal pain increased | Hi, thank you for your query, Vaginal bleeding, and a cervical mass may indicate the presence of malignancy. Also, moderate pain during sexual intercourse and vaginal discharge are symptoms of cervical cancer. Cervical cancer is a malignant neoplasm arising from cells originating in the cervix uteri. The pain in your lower abdomen is mostly because of the lump on the cervix. The most common cause for cervical cancer is Human Papilloma Virus (HPV)At this point i would suggest you to undergo a basic Pap Screening and a further Biopsy of the lump to confirm the diagnosis. Depending on that your OB/GUN will start the prescribed treatment.thanking you, wishing you good health |
Hi, i am 24 weeks pregnant and am suffering with bronchitis at present. I woke up this morning with severe jaw pain which is know at a point where my teeth feel like they are about to fall out and i am stuggling to open/close my mouth due to the intense pain i am experiencing. Is this just a symptom of brnchitis or something else? Thankyou | Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. No, bronchitis can not cause similar kind of jaw pain. Possibility of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) related pain is more likely in your case. So consult dental surgeon and get done x-ray of TMJ to identify the cause. Treatment is painkiller, muscle relaxant Chat Doctor. Don't worry, you will be alright with all these. Bronchitis is not a cause for this. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks. |
Hello, I have been drawn down with sinusitis for the fourth time since December. Have hbp and have had a minor stroke. No damage done. I am having ab pains for about six months.

Thank you for your time. Male 62 retired! Jpc. | HI. Thanks for your query. Noted the history of a 62-year-old very active and fit person.

Hello, a few months ago I think I got jock itch it was not to bad and when I put powder on it it got better... But it was not really going away and I got busy and forgot about it... They dont itch very often now but everyone in a while... I have felt pain on the left and right side every once in a while (similar to them being hit but not nearly as intense, just a dull pain) but I have gotton this pain everyday for the past 4 days now.. Random times of the day and only for a couple seconds... My testies also have looked purple for a while (unless they are really warm) but sitting on the toilet or before the shower they look purple | Hello and. As a Urologist, I must advise you, stop applying powder on your scrotal area. This can cause severe itching and an allergic reaction. Then don't try to itch over that area, or apply a lot of soap while bathing. The purple color may be also be an early change of the same reaction, in which case, you'll need to show it to a dermatologist, or skin specialist. If you're above 40 years age or have a family history of diabetes, check your blood sugar. Wear only cotton jocks. If you want my expert opinion on any doubt, send it as a direct question.

I have been down with influenza past week and have experienced instability in my left leg function. This has resulted in me falling several times. It seems as though the leg collapses without warning . I am generally in great health, quite active, and no know chronic diseases. | Hello, Welcome to the magical world of health care, I went through your query, and such instabilities with history or repeated falls indicate towards internal derangement in the knee ligaments mainly ACL and PCL, what you will need is an MRI of the knee joint followed by probably arthroscopic reconstruction of the ligaments if they are torn. I hope my advice would have been useful, in decision-making regarding your treatment, still if you have any clarifications or doubts feel free to contact back. Thanks. |
I have back pain, which I thought was caused from lifting weights because I felt severe discomfort seemingly at the upper left side of my upper back. After having severe upper back spasm, the pain has now settled at my lower back and around my waist. I had an MRI done, and the report shows abnormality in the bone marrow. What does this suggest? I know this is probably a broad question. Thanks. | Dear patientBack pain that happens after weight lifting may be due to muscle spasm or disc prolapse or occult vertebral fracture. Do you get only back pain or there is pain in your legs too? If you have only back pain it is mostly due to muscle spasm. I would like to advise you radiograph of lumbosacral spine anteroposterior and lateral views to rule out bony injury. Take diclofenac plus thiocolchicoside combination twice a day for pain relief. Avoid forward bending and heavy weight lifting. Apply diclofenac gel at your back twice a day. Your MRI report with bone marrow abnormalities do not point to any diagnosis. What is the status of disc space, vertebra? Please ignore MRI and do as I have advised and hope for the best. |

It is not red | Hi, since you mentioned the dislocation in the past and the other leg getting pain at the present then the pain you are having is the stress on the muscle. Human body is designed to function correctly even if the conscious level of mind can recognize the ability of its subconscious level. You need to meet a physical therapist and get to undergo proper strengthening of the muscles of the lower limb to have uniform balancing of the weight. Also, if the pain is too much than meeting an or tho is advice. Regards |
Hi,I am in desperate need of some expert advice. My mother was diagnosed with an ILD( Interstitial Lung Disease ) in Jan 2011 but the doctors did not prescribe any medicines as my mother had no symptoms. Recently we had to admit her to the hospital because of a high fever(103) and low bp, this was 10days back. After this the bp has stabalised but she is having recurring chills and fever. She continues to be in the hospital for this. The hospital has done all the blood/urine tests, blood/urine cultures, x-rays, ct scan , broncoscopy. All her tests came normal except for the WBC count(it is 17000 currently) and the ct scan shows significant right lung damage.She is not having any other symptoms except for the recurring chills and fever. Despite all the tests done the doctors are not able to figure out as to what exactly is wrong so they are not in a position to prescribe any specific medicines. My mother is still in the hospital(in Bangalore). Please help. She used to take meds for high bp for 10years and also has an elevated level of creatinine . | 1.

Hello, my name is Davie. I have severe back and neck problems, have for close to a decade. My entire spine and neck is very sore, nerve problems and no doubt my spine would be out in lots of places. A few weeks ago i started getting pains in my throat, like pain coming from the top of my chest just below my collar bones and traveling up my two neck two arteries. It isnt constant, but is there daily and comes and goes. Its in direct line with where the worst part of my back is, just below my collarbone line. That level is where my back is just beyond sore, words cant describe how bad it gets and i know my spine is out of place badly there. Now at the front at the exact same level is where im getting the pains from that are shooting into my throat. I know that pains like that can be heart related, but i feel fine apart from my back pain, my heart feels okay. Im just wondering can severe back pain and having a spine out of place cause such problems like this at the front. It just feels very tight and i get shooting pains going into my throat, but theres no real trouble breathing, just the usual tightness i feel with my spine being out and being very painful. If i honestly thought it was my heart and i had no trouble at all with back or neck pain, id be at the hospital right now. I just honestly dont feel its my heart and i know how ridiculous my back feels right now with the pain im in. Im only 35, so i dont think its a heart attack or stroke or anything and i have no tingling or numbness or anything in my arms/hands. Just want to know if severe back pain and spine out of place can transfer pain to your front and affect other things to give you the neck pain and chest tightness ive just described. Thank you for you help. | Welcome to Chat Doctor. Thank you for asking the query. In my opinion this is not heart attack or stroke. The pain at the back and in the spine does not come to the front just below the collar bone. The pain you are having in front and at the back are two separate pains.

yesterday, while flossing,a chunk fell out and now I have a crack in the back of one of my front teeth. I know I have been stupid in the past to avoid the dentist for so long but Im really scared. I have booked an appointment for Friday, but I am really stressing before that time. How can I tell if I have lost part of my tooth, or if it is hardened plaque that has come off? | Hello, thank you for consulting with Chat Doctor. I think there is nothing to worry as the tooth structure is the hardest substance in your body which will not just chip out with a floss, it must be the calculus (hard plaque). Yes but in a case when your tooth is infected from a long time in that it becomes brittle in that case it can chip off. But don't worry, visit the dentist to make it fine. Hope it will help you. |
hello, Im 19. I just started birth control pills( mercilon 28) 7 days ago. I have never been on any contraceptives before. I started my bcp 24 days after my period came, I had unprotected sex with my boyfriend on my suppose ovulation day and he came in my anal. We had sex again the next two days unprotected. Two days after I start my bcp which was 26days after my period, we had sex and he came in me and we have sex for three days after that and he came in me everytime, can i be pregnant? | Cellophane you for your query. You have taken the birth control pills very erratically, and hence, it would not offer you ideal protection against pregnancy. You have had penetrative sex with ejaculation inside the vagina during this timeframe, so yes, you have a possibility of pregnancy. Use a regular contraceptive method consistently and correctly. Take a pregnancy test at the earliest, when you miss a period. Take care. |

Kindly consult the dermatologist for the perfect diagnosis and proper treatment. Psoriasis on face is not common. Kindly have perfect diagnosis. Mometasone does not cause bulbous lesions.
