hi I am 25 years old and this are the results of my semen analysis i am wondering if this results are good or bad considering my age also i am married for a year and still my wife not pregnant colour | Hi, welcome to Chat Doctor It is important to remember that the characteristics reviewed by semen analysis only look at some factors in semen quality, 30% of men with normal analysis may have abnormal sperm function and those with abnormal sperm may father child Chat Doctor. The normal results of a sperm analysis is pH normal range is 7.2 to 7.8 according to the WHO. A higher level may occur in some instances of infection which can usually be treated. Normal count is at least 20 million per ml so 16 mill/ml is slightly below this At least 50% should be mobile- 40% of yours were rapidly moving and 20% sluggish but moving 35% abnormal forms is good, it implies that 85% were normal which is a good figure. Presence of pus cells may indicate an infection. I hope this information helps |

My daughter woke up yesterday with a rash all over her body and swelling in the area of her nose and eyes. Hospital told us its viral and that is her body s reaction to it. Today she has increased swelling in those areas, rash is still present. Has a runny nose - yellowish discharge. Itchy/no pain and no fever. I am leaning towards an allergic reaction but Benadryl has had little to no affect. Can it possibly be a virus or more of an allergic reaction or both? | Thanks for sharing your concern. It is more likely a viral rash though the possibility of an allergic reaction is still there. Unfortunately there is no certain way to know. The good news is that both types of rashes are very common in kids & generally last a few days. Bena Chat Doctor. Is the dose right ? Can easily wait 3-4 days for rashes to improve if she remains otherwise ok. Hope you find the information useful. |
Hello Dr Thakwani, My mother was diagnosed to have breast cancer (Right- mucous carcinoma), the FNAC suggested. When consulted with the surgical oncologist, he suggested to get total mastectomy with axillary dissection. A PET-CT scan was done at 5 | Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. Sorry to hear about your mother. She had breast cancer. It was just stage 1 cancer without lymph node or distant metastasis. Her surgical margin and base are free from tumor. So chances of death due to cancer itself is very rare. But she may have some complications after surgery. Pulmonary embolism or some other complications can lead to sudden death. Sorry for her but this can happen sometimes. Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Wish you a very good health. |

I also have a lesion near it that has been pussing for about a week I have had that befote and had surgrry to try to fix it but it has returned I havr however never had the larger lump . | Hello! Thank you for the query. From your description it sounds like you have a sebaceous cyst which has gotten infected. Due to infection, puss appears and starts giving pain. If it lasts long enough, the lump starts to leak. I suggest you to consult a surgeon with this lump. It needs to be incised and removed. To make sure it won't recur, it needs to be removed with the capsule. Hope this will help. Regards. |

My husband is in coumadin because of artificial valve in his heart. Heis also taking pain pill because ofhis back and joint pain. Is benefles good for him to alleviate the suffering from his back thus improve the way he walks. He can t walk more than 500feet without experiencingn excruciating pain. Help! | Dear patient What I'd your husband s age? Considering the history there are two possibilities 1. Disc prolapse with nerve root compression 2. Lumbar canal stenosis. If he is more than 45 year likelihood of 2nd diagnosis increases. I would advise radiograph of lumbosacral spine anteroposterior and lateral views to rule out bony abnormalities. I also recommend MRI of lumbosacral spine with screening of whole spine. MRI would correctly lead to diagnosis and help in planning treatment. Start taking diclofenac plus thiocolchicoside combination twice a day for 10\u00a0days along with tab vitamin B12 plus pregabalin 75\u00a0mg at bedtime for symptoms relief. If report is abnormal take a visit to spine specialist. |

The cough is very annoying- I feel that I can t breath and I have a strange pressure in my chest. ( if my explanation makes any sense)..Any ideas? Thank you in advance! | Good day, and thanks for your question. Your explanation do make sense. Bump on the left side of the neck and cough of 10 days should be something you should be worried about.

I have a painful red lump on my left shin and its been there for about a week now. Ive just arranged a doctors appointment for Monday as it feels that its getting worse. IIts sore to the touch and feels quite warm and swollen. Its been feeling more tender in the last day or so and, Ive been feeling quite tired recently. Ive read the symptoms of Cellulitis and it seems plasuible to me. Im 35, relatively healthy and I dont smoke or use drugs. I drink socially, but not heavily/frequently.My question is whether I should keep to the doctors appointment in a few days or whether I should seek more urgent medical help. It aches to walk but isnt excrutiatingly painful. Id say that the lump has got bigger in the last few days but doesnt seem to have spread elsewhere and hasnt grown rapidly.Im happy to wait until Monday but would also like to know what to do in the meantime? I presume I should keep weight off of it, take over the counter painkillers and rub in an antiseptic lotion, but not sure and would appreciate the advice. Thanks | Hi this is Chat Doctor. Thanks for the opportunity for helping you. As per your description this fits your assumption of cellulitis though I would like to get few more informations1) did you get your sugars checked recently. If not kindly get your sugars checked, fasting blood sugars as well as postprandial blood sugar levels. If you have recently developed diabetes then your immunity will be lowed, and you might get cellulitis due to streptococcal infection or klebsiella or pseudocodes infection.2) kindly get a total count done which will guide you regarding the extent of infection and help in considering your decision to wait till your appointment. Kindly enlighten me about any history of injury over the affected site. As u have told that the lump is tender, warm and non-spreading it fits the diagnosis of evolving abscess secondary to cellulitis.in that case incision and |

Smoking cessation and inhaled bronchodilators are the treatment for this. |

My radiology report suggests some foci of chronic ischemic white matter disease. I am 65 have hypothyroid, allergies PBC and received this today. My father died of alzheimers and I have had multiple spells of like heart attack that was on rt side radiated to jaw and head. could this be alzheimers. | Dear User, Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Generally Alzheimer's do not present with white matter disease. The most common cause of white matter disease is ischemic injury. It is quite possible to have multiple small strokes if you are having ischemic disease risk factors like family history, hypertension, diabetes, smoking, factor V laden mutation. If you are having any risk factors you need to post again or contact your PCP for assessment of vascular risk factors and to find out the cause for white matter changes. Thanks |
Hello, I have a small problem; there is red blood in the semen, it is bright red and not old blood. Also, there was a large amount of blood in the semen,not a small amount, all the fluid was red. Also, there is a drawing sensation in the right testicle causing discomfort to the scale of a 2-3 with 10 being the max. The question is what causes the blood in the semen and to what degree is this serious? Thank you. | Degree understand your concerns went through your details. Seeing blood in the semen can make a man anxious. Fortunately, it doesn't always signal a major medical problem. For men younger than 40 with no related symptoms and no risk factors for underlying medical conditions, blood in semen often disappears on its own. Blood in the semen can come from several sources like infection or inflammation, in any of the glands, tubes, or ducts or some sexually transmitted diseases. The best approach is to consult a urologist for physical and pathological examination. In the meantime, Chat Doctor. If you require more of my help in this aspect, please use this URL. http |

I have surgery scheduled in 2 weeks I was diagnosed with shingles last Saturday morning after noticing the area puffy,swollen and very tender.I immediately started taking the prescription right away. If I do not have too much discomfort can the surgery go as planned? | Thanks for contacting ChatDoctorI am sorry to hear that you have shingles.

More than likely they will postpone the surgery until after you have recovered from shingles. Hope this answers your question. Please contact us again with your health care questions and concerns |
Hi,Im Evelyn, 27 yrs.old.my height is 55 and my weight is 80kg. I would like to ask a question for my problem.I have a red rashes on the top of my nose,it feels itchy and redish..before its only a small pimple,but i accidentally scratch it and become bigger now, Actually I consulted it already to my doctor,and also to my dermatology..but their findings was different..first result was cause of bacteria the second one is fungal infection,,because of that findings?im so confused..my prob.was not solved.hope you would help me. thanks | Hello, Since you have rashes on your nose avoid over exposure to the sunlight, alcohol, hot beverage or spicy food.

I have always had a heart that skips a beat or two. When this happens usually a cough can start it back on the right track within seconds. A few days ago however I had an episode that lasted almost five minutes (first time ever)...and coughing did nothing. Since then I have had a slight discomfort in my chest but no more palpitations (the discomfort feels like mild heartburn). I am a 46 year old female - no medications, relatively healthy - My life is very stressful at the moment and Im wondering if it is anxiety - I had a physical 2 weeks ago and have a doctor appointment in 12 days because of an irregularity? in my blood test results.... which of course is making me more anxious. A visit to emergency feels irrational since I have no other symptoms. | Hello and thank you for using Chat Doctor. I carefully read your question and I totally understand your concern. But you should not worry. These skipped beats have to do with some electrical issues in the heart. Some electrical impulses that generate in a part of the heart different from normal sinus rhythm cause a premature heart contraction that you feel like a skipped beat, because it's not a normal one. This extra-sistolik beats generally are followed by a pause till the next normal heart contraction. If these are not frequent, in Young and normal heart, it is nothing to worry about. If it is normal to feel breathing difficulties or any chest discomfort when you experience this skipped beat. There are different factors that might cause this skipped beats like emotional stress, anxiety, excessive coffee consumption, coca-cola or energy Chat Doctor. Pathology like anemia or hyperthyroidism, ischemic heart disease might be other causes. So, if I was your treating doctor I would say that you have nothing to worry if this happens once a wile, its normal. But if they begin to bother you and interfere in your live we can decide to do some examinations like a blood analyze, your thyroid hormones, an electrocardiogram, echocardiography and of course a holder rhythm monitoring to have a full view of your rhythm and the extra-sistolik beat frequencies. Onliest than we can decide what we should do. All this thinks can take time. I will recommend you to directly go to emergency room only if you feel strong, fast and chaotic beats. Hope I was helpful. Wish you good health. Best regards. |
Hello I am a 52 year old female with cerebral palsy (mild) seeking a neuro surgeon to diagnose/address issues of degenerating discs, narrowing of the spinal column and spinal stenosis. I am at a crossroads as to what will be the best thing to do in my situation and feel that a neuro surgeon may be the best course of action at this point. I am currently in pain management receiving radio frequency treatments to help with pain. My legs are starting to get painful /pulling/hard to walk...I have never had an issue with my legs before. Any helpful referrals/direction would be so appreciated. | Hi, Thank you for posting your query. Based on your symptoms, you need to be evaluated by a neurologist/neurosurgeon. In addition, an MRI of the spine, focussing on the lumbar spine needs to be done. Initial treatment for degenerating discs would be medical (with medications such as pregabalin or gabapentin capsules) and physiotherapy. If there is no significant improvement with the above, then, epidural injections or surgery may be considered. I hope it helps. Please get back if you require any additional information. Wishing you good health, Chat Doctor. Ly/ |

my boyfriend told me yesteday that at the GUM clinic he had been told he had symptoms of chlamydia, I know i never gave it to him and he swears hes been faithful. i also found out that he has had it in the past, could this be why he has these problems now.

I,m 51 yr female and not diabetic and in what I think is good health. | Hi welcome to Chat Doctor, Sorry to say that your question is not that clear. I think that you are suffering from an infected ulcer in the foot following an insect bite. It is now associated with an enlarged lymph node in the inguinal region (pelvic region). It is usual to have inguinal lymph nodes enlargement with leg ulcers. But the prime concern is that the ulcer is not healing. I would suggest you to attend a nearby clinic and get your Blood routine, Serum albumin, Total Protein checked. Get a Fasting Blood Sugar repeated if not done in last 3 months, though you have said that you are not diabetic. The wound needs to be explored for any foreign body, and you may need a course of antibiotics. Do contact via Chat Doctor on case of any doubts. Thank you. |

iwas told ihad sciatica thepain are im legs it comes and goes iwent for mri cat scan they wanted to give shots i wont take them they also said a herniated disk some days no pain and some day ihave pain i take tylenol the pain is at night icant sleep ineed helpfor dr rynne dr.rogala and drchoudharythank you | Hi, The pain in your legs can only be temporarily treated with the pain medications. Its cause needs to be investigated and MRI without contrast i.e. Plain MRI (for which you don't need any shots) of the lower back is enough to investigate the cause. If MRI is not feasible a CT too can be done, but it is not as informative as an MRI is. As for the pain, I would advise you to avoid carrying heavy weights, bend forward excessively or sit for prolonged durations. If you are slightly on the obese side, you need to start exercising and lose some weight. It causes a significant decrease in pain. |

Hi, i recently had a biometric screening at work. My AST came back at 41, my ALT at 50 and my BUN Creatinine Ratio was too low and had an alert by it. I am a 48 year old obese female. I am not diabetic and i take Sotolol 2x daily for A Fib. I am also a smoker. | Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. Your creatinine level is low. Don't worry it is not a problem. Many people has low creatinine level. It is not significant clinically. High creatinine level suggest kidney disease. But low level is normal. It depends on dietary protein intake, muscle mass and many other factors so don't worry about that. Your AST & ALT level is also normal so just be relaxed. Hope I have answered your question. If you have any doubts then feel free to ask me. I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Wish you a very good health. |
I have a 38 year old son on Prozac and Bustpar. He also has anxiety attacks and panic attacks. Just for the heck of it I took his blood pressure the other day and it was 147/104. I wanted to take him to ER but we would not allow it. It has come down a little. I have 10md Lisinopril I am not using now. Would it be safe to get him started on one or 1/2 a day. He is on Buckyeye Insurance here in Ohio and no specialty doctors will take him as a patient. He also suffer from severe Fibromyagia so bad sometimes he can t stand to have his shirt touch his skin. How can I get help, Please? God Bless Denise | Dear; It is very important to take care of uncontrolled blood pressure. He needs to start lifestyle modification with a low salt diet, exercise 20-30 minutes daily and weight control. The complete evaluation with physical examination and laboratory is important too. I understand your concern about his medical condition, but it is not recommendable to medicate without having a medical professional supervision. Fibromyalgia wont interfere with hypertension treatment but can be controlled with medication too, as Combat and Novella. I hope you will be able to convince him. Thanks for using our service, Chat Doctor. |
my girlfriend s daughter, who is 9 years old all of a sudden has got high temperature and fell asleep. My girlfriend did not measure her temperature and decided to leave her sleep if her temperature goes down. I insist that she takes her temperature but she does not. The girl almost never gets sick. What can it be? What should her mother do? | Hi... Thank you for consulting in Chat Doctor. Fever of few days without any localizing signs could as well a viral illness. Usually rather than fever, what is more important is the activity of the child, in between 2 fever episodes on the same day. If the kid is active and playing around when there is no fever, it is probably viral illness and it doesn't require antibiotics at all. Once viral fever comes it will there for 4-7 days. So do not worry about duration if the kid is active. Paracetamol can be given in the dose of 15\u00a0mg/kg/dose (maximum ceiling dose of 500\u00a0mg) every 4-6th hourly that too only if fever is more than 100F. I suggest not using combination medicines for fever, especially with Paracetamol. 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. |
Today on my commute home I was talking on the phone with my father when I got a rush to the head unlike anything I have ever had. I have a history of anxiety but this was not anxiety. It felt like my blood pressure skyrocketed or something. I felt immediate pressure behind my left eye and felt like a nose bleed was coming. I also had slight numbness in my right forearm. I thought I was going to die which triggered my fight or flight. I stepped on the gas thinking that I was headed for the fire station. By the time I got to town all symptoms had subsided except some slight dizziness. I went home to relax. I had to use the bathroom and saw stars while on the toilet. Feel okay now. I am afraid it it will happen again. Have had rushes like this before and figured it was anxiety related. Today s event was terriying. Im overweight. 6 0 300lbs. 31 years old. No significant health history other than anxiety. Any suggestions? | Hello! Welcome on Chat Doctor ! Your symptoms could be related to blood pressure spikes. Anxiety can also trigger this situation. If these episodes keep repeating, I would recommend consulting with your GP for a physical check up and some tests |
About 4 days ago, I noticed a pea shaped lump on my forearm between my wrist and elbow. It is painless and under the skin. What could it be? I have been taking medication for coughing, sneezing, and runny nose since before Thanksgiving. Also, I received a steroid shot. | Hi.based from your description, it could be a cystic formation (tedious or ganglion cyst), lipoma (fatty deposit) or a fibrous (fibrous tissue formation). It is best if you consult with a doctor, preferably a general surgeon, for physical examination and clinical evaluation, especially if the lesion is persistent, increasing in size and is bothering you. Other lesion types must also be ruled-out. Definitive management is excision biopsy of the lesion. Hope this helps. Good day!!~ Chat Doctor. |
dear sir,my father ,51 years of age..he has been suffering from fever of low grade i.e. upto 100.2 since 20-25 days.all medical tests were done.including tridot test,typhoid,malaria,blood culture ,urine culture,fnac.there was found an infection of e.coli in urine culture.he was treated for the same with norfloxacin for 12 days.later gentamycin i.m. for 5 days.fever was not controlled.later he took malarial drug i.e. atemether+lumifatrine for 3 more days.now our doctor has adviced us to go for biopsy..in fnac ,the report said that it might be reactive lymphadenitis.they also mentioned to go for biopsy.he was 61 kilos last month.now he is 60 kilos.what could be the reason for all these ???our doctor is suspecting that it might T.B..is it so??/please kindlly inform me some measures.we are veru much worried about his health..pls do me a favour. | Hello dear, Thank you for your contact to Chat Doctor. I read and understand your concern. I am Chat Doctor answering your concern. Swollen lymph nodes, fever, and weigh loss and variety of other negative test lead bus to the tuberculosis on your father. I advise you should test the biopsy for ZN staining, this will guide us for the tuberculosis bacilli. Once it comes positive also test for the Inexpert test. It will guide us for the possible resistant in the TB bacteria. This will help full in the treatment. The test result will be available in few hours. Please give them a mask to wear over face. This will prevent the bacilli shedding and infection to the family will be prevented. Please give them high protein diet. Avoid more spicy food. E.cold in urine may be found normally, if the colony count is more than 1 lac than we can count it as possible pathogen. You can advise them plenty of water. This will flush out some bacteria present in the urinary tract. Immediately start the therapy of the TB once diagnosed. This treatment should be taken regularly and completed. Incomplete treatment can cause resistant among the bacteria. I will be happy to answer your further concern on bit.ly/ Chat Doctor. Thank you, ChatDoctorInfectious diseases specialist, ChatDoctor. |
Last year on my physical ,my blood sugar level was 5. months after that I had a terrifying experience were I couldn t stop shaking for about 45 mins to an hour afterwards. This year s physical my blood sugar level was 6.2 fasting and 7.1 after glucose tolerance test. According to my doctor a have diabetes. Is it possible that having that terrifying experience could have caused it? and is it diabetes for sure or is that borderline? | A 5 is great. A sugar level of 6.2 fasting puts you in the pre-diabetes range. You could be carrying a diabetes gene and that experience turned your gene on, we can only guess. You do need to take appropriate measures to lower it a bit. Take a look at your diet and get rid of junk, add healthy fruits/veggies/whole grains (especially OATS), good fats (virgin olive oil, etc) and exercise. Now, on the other hand your 7.1 you received after the 2 hour OG TT would have been closer to 7.8 for prediabetes. Ask him to do a HbA1C to cut the tie. If you do have red, you want to nip it in the bud!!! A HbA1C should be 5.7 (optimally) to 6.4% A HBA1C of 6.5% is diagnostic of Diabetes. And, ask him specifically why he thinks 7.1 is prediabetic?? He is probably translating it into blood sugar for fasting instead of looking at the cutoffs for a 75 g OG TT test. If he is confused have him refer to the January 2015 Diabetes Care issues on the new Standards of Diabetes Medical Management. It is good for you to question the discrepancies, but in the end, ask yourself if you are being given warning signs? The HbA1C should give you further information. Good luck. A good diet never hurt anyone! |
Hello. I got a CBC and results for WBC were 8.7 while LYM% was 16.5. Should I be worried? I have had a persistent cough for a month. It has improved somewhat, but I still cough when I drink something cold or air temperature is colder than normal (raining). I usually cough up some mucuous, though it is a dry cough. | Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. Your CBC report is normal. And lymphocytes are also within normal level. So no need to worry about this report. In my opinion you should consult pulmonologist first. And get done chest x-ray and PFT (Pulmonary Function Test). Since your cough is from 1 month, we have to rule out infection first. Other possibility is bronchitis. So chest x-ray is needed to rule out infection. PFT is needed to rule out bronchitis. So consult pulmonologist first and discuss these things |
Hello! I was wondering if it would be effective to take marvelon 28 birth control pills as an emergency contraceptive, and if so, how many? I am not on the pill anymore as I found out all oral contraceptives use lactose as a binding agent, and I am lactose intolerant. Sidenote | Hi, Marvelon may be taken in high doses to act as an emergency contraceptive, but the efficacy has not been proved and would definitely be lesser than the usual emergency pill in view of the raised side effects on account of the increased dosage. This happens with any other oral contraceptive meant for regular use. If you cannot use pills being lactose-intolerant, the ideal choice would be to go for the insertion of an IUD which is non-hormonal. Insertion of the IUD soon after an unprotected intercourse also acts as an emergency contraceptive. Hope this helps. |
I seem to cry an awful lot. Sometimes I ll just cry every day and night for no reason at all, or the slightest thing will make me upset. I m only 16 so I guess some of it could be hormones but surely it shouldn t be this regular? I m worried, what can I do? | Hi deceit can be due to depression and stress. Need to evaluate properly. Low and sad mood is the key symptoms of depression. It can be treated with medicine like combination of SSRI and benzodiazepine. In SSRI sertraline/ Escitalopram will be useful. But before it, you will require proper evaluation and diagnosis. So consult and get help. Still if you have a query then feel free to ask. Happy to help you. Thank you. |
Good Morning Dr. Rynne, I have had chronic diarrhea for the past 4 days following a sinus infection that I took the antibiotic Ceftin. cannot keep food down and have been drinking propel water containing electrolytes which also just pours out of me not long after. what foods are best for this and what to avoid. thank you, S | HI, thanks for using Chat Doctor At the moment, since you have diarrhea, it would be best to avoid any solid food till there is a 4-hour window with no symptoms. The colon is still inflamed/irritated, this is the reason for the persisting diarrhea. If solid food is used then it would provoke more diarrhea and may delay healing since the intestines are not ready for it. Treatment |
I self diagnosed my family for scabies after three visits to doctor over dry skin and possibly allergies. We used the Prometerin treatment two days ago. We are still itchy but I understand it will take two weeks to shed the bugs from our skin. My question is why are my thighs bruised. Am I itching that much at night and causing bruising? | Hithis seems to be scabies with secondary bacterial infection, can be due to the itching or the lesions getting infected. Application of 10% benzyl benzoate or permethrin is the treatment for scabies it is better to meet your dermatologist, to add up with one course of antibiotics to prevent the dermatitis or secondary infection. Please do not meddle or scratch the infected area. All the best take care |
i do not smoke. never have. i am very healthy female. my husband has been smoking for 6 months. we want to have a baby. is it unsafe to conceive with husband that smokes. he never smokes in my presence. i am afraid sperm will be deformed, and risk to my fetus. help. | Hi there,Smoking is not advisable in couple trying to conceive and also because it will affect your partners' health. Smoking is known to cause several types of cancers in the person smoking and should definitely be avoided. Smoking can affect the amount or quantity of sperm, but it is not known to cause a deformity in the child born. It may make it difficult for you to get pregnant but deformities due to smoking is not known. Smoking should be avoided as even after the baby is born it is a known cause of sudden infant death in the first year of life. Also, you as the mother will be exposed to passive smoking and should be avoided. Hope this helps. Regards. |
I am gluten intolerant and used to break out in hives after eating something with gluten in it, but then I went off gluten and was hive free for about 6 months. I recently started to get the rashes again, even though I ve been eating extremely carefully and avoiding gluten. Could the hives be from touching bread or something with wheat? or is it more likely that I have a new allergy? I have severe stomach cramping, bloating , pain and diarrhea if I accidentally eat gluten, so I always know if its in my system. With this new rash, It just doesn t seem to be connect to gluten. It s also always on my right side. My right hand/fingers, my knee, and my ankle. Any idea? Thanks! | Hello dear, In view of the fact that you are avoiding Gluten rich foods, the hives cannot be related to it. Since the rashes are present only on one side of the body, they can be attributed to Contact dermatitis. Symptomatic relief can be obtained by intake of Antihistamine preparations & application of topical steroid ointment. If symptoms still persist, then kindly consult a Dermatologist & get a proper clinical examination done. Wishing a good health. Take care. |
I was very dizzy for a few weeks was told I had a sinus infection the medication didn t work. Now two months later I am still dizzy most of the time and my leg has started swelling and feeling tingly and my knee has been very sore. Does it sound like something I should tell my primary physician? | HI, thanks for using Chat Doctor Yes, it should be reported to your doctor if the symptoms are disturbing you. Sinus disease can be associated with dizziness so if you do have sinus symptoms then this could be the cause of your symptoms. It would not cause swelling of the leg however so this is related to another because that may need assessment. Unilateral swelling may be due to trauma, venous disease, clot in the leg hope this helps |
Hi I had a tkr of my right knee 3 yrs ago and my hip started to hurt. I have now narrowed the source of the pain to a small muscle at the bottom of my gluteus, maybe obturator internus? I have been working with pt to strengthen the quads & doing clamshell rotator type exercises massively aggravates that area. What should I do to get some relief? | Welcome to Chat Doctor I have gone through your query and understand your concern. I think you may be having osteoarthritic of hip joint. It can be confirmed by x-ray of hip joint. Glucosamine is helpful in osteoarthritis. You can take analgesic such as ibuprofen for pain relief. You can discuss with your doctor about it. Hope your query get answered. If you have any clarification then don't hesitate to write to us. I will be happy to help you. Wishing you a good health. Take care. |
My problem is I am terrified of the dentist and the last time I saw one was 10 years ago when I had some fillings put in, when she numbed me it numbed my whole face to which I couldnt even close my eye and that freaked me out also they wanted to scrape my gums and after hearing many horror stories I never went back well now I have been in pain for the past 2 weeks, my tootChatDoctore out upper right side and I am having pain in this location and also in the tooth next to it. when I looked at it I can see a hole in the tooth where the gum is, the area is red and I see white in the hole at one point the whole side of my face was hurting. Do I have to have this other tooth pulled? also i feel maybe a piece of tooth on the upper gum where my tooth fell out.I dont know what to do because I am scared to death. | Hi, Thanks for posting the query, First I would tell you don't get frightened it is not a major problem I would suggest you to get an x-ray done of the filled tooth to see if there is any formation of secondary caries beneath the restoration, see if there is any presence of high points if so get it trimmed, if there is presence of secondary caries get it removed and root canal treatment can be performed. For pain relief take tab broken BD for 3-5 days, go for complete mouth scaling and polishing, at home take antiseptic mouthwash rinses. Hope you find this as helpful, Take care! |
hi? we have been trying with my wife to get a child for three years now with no avail. i have done a seminalysis which the results found out was normal. My wife was given a ova care tabs to take for one month, what are the chances. What if it does not work. what are the alteranatives? | Hi, Thanks for writing to Chat Doctor. I would like to know whether your wife has polycystic ovary disease . Ova care helps in regularizing cycles and improve ovary function. It will take 3 to 4 months to have its effect. I would suggest you to go for ovulation inducing Chat Doctor. This will help multiple follicles to mature and rupture. Thus increasing chances of pregnancy. 3 to 4 cycles you can try. You can try GUI with Josephine. GUI is intrauterine ingestion of sperms. Here sperms are washed and processed and placed in uterus. Also, your wife should reduce weight if she is over weight or on higher side. Hope I have been helpful. Regards |
Hello. Im 52, taking medications to thin my blood because of congestive heart and afib. My teeth are in various stages of breakdown, inherited condition that I have been trying to address. I floss aggressively after meals and sometime in between meals as necessary. I use arm and hammer toothpaste with orajel and keep a tube of orajel handy to put on teeth and gums that bother me. Had a toothache in lower left quadrant and earliest dentist could see me is on a Monday. Toothache went away yesterday evening and my face was a little swollen and numb in the area of toothache. Woke up this morning and teeth feel fine but my whole cheek is swollen now. Only slight numbness in lips no where else, no redness or pain. | Hello and welcome. As per the history posted here it appears there is an abscess developed in your jaw.Therefore, please see your dentist soon. The numbness is due to pressure on nerve. Do not cover the swollen area. Do warm saline rinses and maintain oral hygiene. You can consult your Cardiologist now for deciding the suitable antibiotics and its dosage and immediately start with antibiotics and analgesics. Later on you can get the root canal treatment done upon meeting your dentist. Thanks. Take care. |

Hello. I m a 20 years old girl. One day more than a week ago I believe I sat too long on a bicycle with a very hard seat and after I started feeling a bit pain on the tailbone area. But I didn t pay much attention to it and I continued using the bike maybe twice more. But 2 days ago I was in a lot of pain and when I checked it out in the mirror I saw that I had a bump on the right cheek of the butt (above the anus, near the tailbone area). Its not much red or irritated but it seems swollen and like the size of an almond and it does not look like it has created pus. Yesterday I started using Advil for the pain and it was effective, then the pharmacist gave me Eudorlin which I tried but it had no effect whatsoever for the pain. So today after a night with no sleep I went back to Advil. I m really nervous cause I can barely walk, I can t sit, and I m not at all comfortable laying down, (so I m not getting much sleep ). Right now I am not in the position to go to the doctor so I really hope you can help Sorry for the long post. | Hi, i appreciate your concern.it seems you have coccyxdynia, due to injury on hard seat while cycling. There seems to be injury to last fragment of tailbone, causing irritation and swelling.i usually advice my patients to take site bat hie sitting in lukewarm water in a wide stencil, for 5-7 days, take some safe painkiller, use sponge cushion for sitting, apply locally painkiller creams, use anesthetic cream/gel in anus to help to pass feces. Get an x-ray done for pelvic area after consulting or tho expert. Thanks I will be happy to answer further any query. |
Good Morning Sir, I was taking olmezest ch 20 for 3 months, from may to till date i am taking no drugs. since last 1-2 months without taking any medicine my bp is 75-85/115-130. my ppc s.glucose is 101. i was also taking feliz s plus anti depressant tablet for 2 years but now from 2 months i was do not take it. some time i feel like panic attack but after few mnts. i feel normal. some time i take epitril md which was prescribed by psychiatrist. today doctor prescribed me tazloc 20 as well as my bp is normal. Please advice me and oblige. Regards | HiT hanks for using Chat Doctor In that case, you need antidepressant like Felix and low dose benzodiazepine. If you take antidepressant regularly, then you would feel better and able to control anxiety attack. You can also try some relaxation exercise that would help to control anxiety symptoms. Better to consult your psychiatrist for proper treatment. In case, you need further help, you can ask. Thanks |
i am facing breathing prob past 2 months . i consult dr shetty coimbatore . i took ecg also . the doctor said he didint find any problem in my ecg report . he gave me 2 months medicin . i had all the medicin . while i am having the medicine ifeel much better . after completing the 2 month .the prob started . kindly help me | Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. No need to worry about heart related diseases as your ECG is normal. Possibility of bronchitis is more. So better to consult pulmonologist and get done clinical examination of respiratory system and PFT (Pulmonary Function Test). PFT will not only diagnose bronchitis, but it will also tell you about severity of the disease. And treatment is based on severity only. You may need inhaled bronchodilators and inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) on the basis of PFT report. Inhaled treatment is the best treatment for bronchitis. 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. |
Hello!, Perhaps with my question I will need a dentist or can you answer my questions regardless? I recently used a mouth rinse (Optic White for whitening) and I came across a feeling as if burning from eating a lot of salt and when I rinsed out with water and looked on my inner bottom I came across blotches of white... I m kind of worried I just burned the inside of my mouth... | Dear friend. Thanks for sharing your concern. Your symptoms suggest that you have developed an allergic reaction upon exposure to your present mouth rinse. It is advised to discontinue its usage temporarily, so that the symptoms get relieved. Nothing to worry about it, just wait for a week and see if there is any improvement. If not in that` case you need to visit your dentist for oral examination. Hope it helps. Thanks. |
my husband had a quarter size knot on the back of his head at the crown and another dime size to the right, then a rather large baseball size behind his right ear on Friday. Saturday he had general malaise and then Sunday he developed vomiting. Last night he suffered with night sweats, restless. Today no vomiting but severe headache, pressure behind eyes. He had no po intake in 2 days. fever 96.2, gen bodyaches. he has been in bed all day and says it hurts to sit up due to the pressure. the bumps are gone though | Hi, Thank you for posting your query. It is difficult to ascertain the cause of these bumps without examination. However, possibilities include infection or hematoma (collection of blood). In view of malaise, it could be infection. You should show him to a GP, and do routine investigations such as blood counts, serum electrolytes, blood sugar, etc. He would get better with proper treatment. I hope it helps. Please get back if you require any additional information. Best wishes, Chat Doctor. Ly/ |

my 15 year old daughter went to the Dr. on Tuesday with a fever of slightly less than 101 and a cough. she said her chest hurt while coughing. She had a fever for only one day. The Dr. didnt hear wheezing but prescribed a z pack just in case. Could she have had bronchitis but it wasnt picked up or could it have been a sinus infection. Her fever disappeared yesterday but returned at night. It was only 100.. Today, she woke up and felt fever free but when i took her temperature, it said 99.4 Do you think she will need more antibiotics? She only has one left for tomorrow? | Hi, Welcome to ChatDoctorI understand that you are concerned whether your daughter should continue antibiotics or not. I suggest she completes the full course of antibiotics to avoid recurrence. Based on the symptoms mentioned in your query, she definitely is suffering from lower respiratory tract infection and antibiotics were necessary to be prescribed. She does not need to take any fever medications. Fluid diet and at least 3-4 liters per day is recommended. Thanks. |

I was diagnosed with MVP and Autonomic Nerve Disorder roughly 10 years ago. Apparently, I had it all my life but was not diagnosed until my heart went flip flop right after surgery. I am fixing to turn 44 this week, and have noticed that my heart palpitates (far more than usual) a week prior to my menstrual cycle. As soon as my cycle starts, the palps are as normal....here and there....Is this a sign of menopause? If so, I am ready to jump with excitement! | Hello! Welcome and thank you for asking on Chat Doctor! Your symptoms are not related to menopause. They could be related to anxiety or low blood pressure. During menstrual cycle your body loses blood, and it can aggravate chronic anemia or low blood pressure. I recommend you to closely monitor your blood pressure during those days and perform a complete blood work to exclude possible chronic anemia. An ambulatory 24-48 hours ECG monitoring may be necessary to examine your heart rhythm trends during the day and exclude possible cardiac arrhythmia. A head up tilt test would be necessary to exclude possible orthostatic intolerance, which is a part of autonomic nervous system dysfunction. Hope you will find this answer helpful! Greetings! |
I have swelling in both legs, lately has become much. I feel the swelling has starting up my leg as my slacks have become tight around my leg. i m scared. I have been un a terrible amount of stress for the last 2 months. My Dr has me taken xanes, however I feel swelling basically all over my body. My my legs are the worst and can t get y shoes on. Appreciate any help you can advise me. Kay Koldyk | Hello, I have studied your case. Foot and leg swelling suggest internal disease process. You need to consult your doctor before any other complication arises. Due to compression of this nerve root there is pain in your foot. Physiotherapy like ultrasound and inferential therapy will give quick relief. I will advise checking your it B12 and it D3 level. Ultrasonography leg will help to rule out other pathology leading to pain like deep vein thrombosis. Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow-up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries. Wishing you good health. Take care |
I have a question. I am currently receiving treatments from an orthodontists. I have an impacted front tooth that I want down. Initially, during the consultation, the doctor told me that in order for that tooth to come down, I would have to get braces and then a surgery to expose the impacted tooth and to chain it. He also said that because the tooth is in the front, he would put a temporary tooth in that place while he uses the chain to pull the tooth down. Well, I ve got the braces and I had the surgery. All I m waiting for is for the doctor to pull it down and to put a tooth in the front. Well, during my last appointment, he told me that he wasn t going to be able to pull it down because my surgery area wasn t completely. Now, the surgery area is healed, and I went to see him today. I was expecting to begin pulling my tooth into place. However, that was not the case. He told me that, now, in order for him to begin to pull down the tooth, he has to leave the open space, and I would have to go a few months without a tooth in the front. This is not what I agreed to initially and I do not want to walk around like that. Is there anything I can do about this? | Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query. The tooth cannot be replaced with an artificial tooth since in that place the impacted tooth has to be pulled down. By placing an artificial tooth, we cannot pull the impacted tooth into position. So ideally speaking, the impacted tooth should be exposed and then using braces it has to be repositioned. Do not go for artificial tooth. I hope my answer will he LP you, take care. |
I have been having stomach problems for a while now. I ve had a basic exray and it showed that I have a cyst on either my spleen or pancreas . The pain is on my right side under the rib cage. I m scheduled to have a ctscan also. Which one do you think the problem is | Hi and welcome to Chat Doctor. Thanks for the query. Ct is needed to verify exact size and position of cyst and then further diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. If cysts is seen on X-ray already then I suppose it is big one. But it still doesn't means that surgery is necessary. It must be removed if there is risk of hemorrhage or if this is symptomatic. Since you have some pain then surgery can be considered. Mostly such cysts are caused by trauma but so mother causes are possible such as chronic pancreatitis or congenital cysts. Wish you good health. Regards |

I have had diarrhea for three weeks now associated with abdominal pains to the mid front area, but also having attacks to the right upper area (not sure if it s my gallbladder or liver). I am a renal transplant recipient as well. I have no nausea, vomiting or fever. The pains on my right side have been occurring for about 2 weeks now and they are sharp pains whicChatDoctore and go. What does it sound like? | Hello! Thank you for the query. Diarrhea and upper right pain can be caused by gallstones. The pain usually radiates to the back. Similar to gallstones symptoms can give chronic pancreatitis. Both conditions usually give nausea, low appetite. Symptoms can appear after a fatty food, spicy foods, alcohol. Diarrhea and abdominal pain can be also a symptom of gastrointestinal infection. Please note that every diarrhea which lasts longer than 48 hours needs to be checked with stool tests. As you are kidney transplanted patients, such symptoms can appear due to medicines you take regularly. I suggest you to visit your doctor, have blood work, abdominal ultrasound, urinalysis and stool tests done. Hope this will help. Regards. |

My neighbors 19 year old son recently had an emergency appendectomy about three months ago. He is very healthy and active. Since then he has experienced many other medical symptoms such as sharp pains thru his legs and back and even in his face. He has burning sensations as well. They dont last very long but he is even afraid to drive long distances invade he has an episode. Drs are in the process of conducting cat scans and have found nothing so far. They have one more to do then they will have to send him to someone else. He also caught annumonia a month after his surgery and was having trouble breathing like panic attacks.. This may not be related but ever since he has had the surgery he has suffered with problems. We almost considered lyms disease. Any suggestions?? He feels very fatigued. | Hi, Thanks for writing in. The first investigation he needs to undergo is contrast enhanced CT of the abdomen which will rule out any abdominal issue.Thereafter, blood counts and chest radiology to ascertain and rule out any major chest problem. If that is ruled out then a psychological evaluation is necessary to find the cause of panic attacks. I hope this provides you with a road map for further investigation. Regards |

Hello Doctor,While having sex the condom torn off, and so I took a \"morning pill\" the next day...Then I again had intercourse the same day and the next day but I am not sure if my partner ejaculated inside or not. Now I am uncertain if I should take another \"pill\" because according to internet, its not wise to take pills this frequently. But I also do not want to be pregnant. Please help!!! | Hello, This Morning after pill works for 72 hours for no matter how many intercourses you had within that period. And Yes! You are right you should not use Emergency Contraception because it is not a regular contraceptive. Instead, Use regular oral contraceptive pills Condom when used along with spermicide is more effective most Importantly-Not only Ejaculation, but also the secretions before ejaculation contains sperms!! |

Hello Doctor..I am male of 23 years.I have pain in my abdomen.My report says | HelloYour findings suggests elevated liver enzymes like SGPT, SGOT and mild hepatomegaly with grade I fatty liver. Increased SGPT, SGOT may indicate liver injury. Increased liver enzymes in your case may be due to liver parenchymal disease. Compromised liver may cause mild ASCIIs and mild bilateral pleural effusion. It is important to know protein like serum albumin and globulin level. You may need routine hologram, viral markers, random blood sugar, renal function test, lipid profile, urine RE/ME. You may need medicines like tablet ursodeoxycholic acid tablet 300 mg twice daily for three months. It helps in regeneration of liver cells. Avoid alcohol if you take it. You may need few more medicines after evaluation. You are rightly suggested to take furosemide, it will expel excess water from body. Get well soon. Take Care Chat Doctor. |
something weird happened to my body these last couple of months. last month my period didnt come but then, when december kicks in, it arrived unexpectedly and it last for a bout two weeks and now i am experiencing thse spots for about a week until now. i also started taking a birthcontrol pill and i am somewhat sexually active. this is the first time this has happened to me, is there something wrong with my body? or this is just hormonal? | Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor forum. It may be due to the anemia, hormonal disturbance, etc. Still it is better to consult your gynecologist for diagnosis and treatment.

my age is 47 years.weight is 75 kg and hypertensive for last 15 years using tenormin 50 mg a day.Later for last 2 years using eziday.at the moment reduced tenormin to 25 mg nd at times using 12 mg to get rid of it slowly,bt taking 50 mg eziday regularly. | Hello and thank you for using Chat Doctor. I carefully read your question and I understand your concern. I will try to explain you and give my opinion. You should know that when we treat hypertension our goal is to keep mean blood pressure values below 140/90 mmHg. You can use performing to treat blood pressure, but you should know that essential hypertension is a chronic disease, and you should treat it live long and not stop medications. If you have to low blood pressure values, meaning below 100/70 MMH, you can lower your dosage. But lowering it below 25 mg doesn't make sens. It is better to exchange it with another blood pressure medication. But my opinion is to measure your mean values with the dosage prescribed by your doctor 50 mg and then discuss with him how to lower it after having a full graphic of your values under 50 mg. Hope I was helpful. Best regards, |

My mom thinks i was having an anxiety attack buti dont no how it would be that i really believe it was somethin with the alcohol because it was after iw as drinken that it would happen and after the second drink and the paini quit drinken and was fine the rest of the night.. | Hello, Your symptoms could be related to gastroesophageal reflux. For this reason, I would recommend taking an antacid or PPI (omeprazole, pantoprazole, etcetera.) before racing. If the chest pain improved, I would recommend performing a fibrogastroscopy. Otherwise, I would recommend performing an exercise cardiac stress test. If all these tests result normal, you should consider anxiety as the main cause of your complaints. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. |
I have numbness on left side of head and sharp pain on right side after surgery for sever cervical stenosis of the spine. The surgery was 4 October 2013. When turning neck to the right or to the left, I can t see either of my shoulders. I also get a cramp in my neck when turning my head to the right. When I lower my head forward it feels as if I am pulling or stretching. Is this something I will have to live with, is this normal? | Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor forum. As you had surgery on the cervical spine, there will be some contractures and hence the pain. You may need to have physiotherapy, for relief of the pain by relaxation of the muscles.

Hi, I am 12 days late but have been experiencing cramping and pelvic pain over the past 2 weeks. I have had 4 negative pregnancy tests. I am not nauseous, fatigued, experiencing headaches, or any other symptoms. I am typically regular maybe a day or two variance. Could I be pregnant? Would a blood test be warratned? | Hello, i can understand your concern. If you had an unprotected sex in your last cycle, the chances of you getting pregnant are pretty high. 12 day delay strongly points out towards pregnancy as you have regular periods.I would advise an ultrasound and a blood test to detect pregnancy. Urine tests take longer time than blood tests to get positive. The delay can also be unrelated to pregnancy.it can be due to stress or a hormonal imbalance. The first thing is to rule out pregnancy. Hence get the tests advised, and the further things can be managed as per the results. Please get back to us with the reports. Thanks for choosing Chat Doctor |
I have chest pain located around the costal cartilage at rib 4. This pain in exacerbated with deep breathing. There is no pain in the upper limbs. The pain is also increased with movement of the left arm. Blood sugar is 4.5 and blood pressure is 100/120. There is not medical history related to heart conditions, with no family history. Mother has type 2 Diabetes. There is some feeling of nausea with no vomiting. | Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. It seems muscular pain mostly as it is increased by arm movement. But we need to rule out cardiac cause first because pain is on left side. So get done ECG first to rule out cardiac cause. If this is normal than muscular pain is the cause mostly. Try to follow these steps for better symptomatic relief in muscular pain. 1. Avoid heavy weight lifting and strenuous exercise. 2. Avoid bad postures in sleep. 3. Take good painkiller and muscle relaxant. 4. Apply warm water pad on affected site. |
I WAS AT A RESTURANT WITH A FRIEND HE ASKED ME TO TASTE HIS ICE TEA. IT TASTED LIKE DETERGENT OR SOME KIND OF CHEMICAL . HIS WIFE THINKS IT WAS INDUSTRIAL DISH SANITIZER, IT MADE MY TONGUE IRRATATED 7 SWOLLEN. WENT TO DOCTORS THEY GAVE ME PRETIZONE & A STEROID SHOT. I LOST SOME TASTE ABILITY WILL THIS EVER GO AWAY? | Hello, Severe chemical damage to the surface of the tongue where there are taste buds can be permanent. You were given anti-inflammatory medication, eliminated the chemical and now must keep the area clean for healing. Are you having difficulty healing with any ulcerations? You need to watch for an additional oral infection such as thrush. Antifungal medication such as Statin would be necessary. Antibiotics could be required due to complicated healing. Gentle oral care along with warm salt water rinses will assist and soothe the tongue. Keep well HY Chat Doctor. Avoid vitamin deficiencies. Spicy and acidic foods may cause irritation. I suggest you have your dentist evaluate and monitor the surface of the tongue. I think you can have a positive outlook and realize with more time, more taste sensation should return. Your exposure sounds limited. Knowing the exact chemical would be helpful. Ruling out an allergic reaction would also be suggested in the case of a flavored tea, etc. Thank you for your inquiry. I am glad to provide additional assistance if you have more questions. |
I was reaching in my car to the glove box my arm slipped on the console which caused me to hit under my right breast area Immediate pai with a deep feeling of a pop sensation. I waited went to the er pain under right breast radiating to right uppper side and back. Had a chest xray and ct scan Dr. stated that I had a rib fracture but my internal organs look fine. I still have the same pain on movement breathin lying deep breaths and movement Nothing has changed since Tuesday what should I do I am working have no way to pay sorry thought it was free advice | Hi, thank-you for providing the brief history of you. A thorough musculoskeletal assessment is advised. As the CT and x-ray suggest a possible fracture, I will advise you now to perform costal breathing exercises. Of which you can learn the description from net. Also, a physical therapist can teach better and perform good job here. As due to fracture there is weakness of the intercostal muscles and pectoralis muscle which needs an attention to strengthen them. Also, rib fracture healing will take some time to recover. So applying a plaster bandage at the area should perform well as an assistance. With costal breathing exercises the recovery from pain is expected in 2-3 weeks of time. RegardsJay In Chat Doctor. |

In 30 days cycle average time of egg formation will be on 13 to 15th day. If she is normally ovulating then you can try between 12 to 16th day which is called fertile period.

I am experiencing vaginal swelling after intercourse when my partner is wearing a condom could I be allergic to Latex? I have also heard that this can be a sign of Cervical cancer? I did have an irregular pap smear and thin prep colposcopy several years ago with continued pap smears every year to ensure no further issues | Absolutely, there is an entity called latex allergy, and you have rightly suspected. You also need to see if you can get rashes on your hands if had worn a latex gloves also. Surprisingly there also a content of suffering called semen allergy!!what all you need to be is, be observative next time, while contact with rubber products. And still have same complaints better to avoid them as avoidance is most safe and first step way out of allergies. And with your pap smear issue. I strongly recommend seeking a gynecological opinion at the earliest as this is an entity to be ruled out at the earliest. |
Yes, thank you. I had a large molar on the upper left side of my mouth removed last summer. The endodontist couldnt find anything unusual from the x-ray. He initially ordered a root canal, but the pain continued. Later, I had the tooth extracted. Since then, (six months ago), I have had a constant acidic taste in my mouth where the molar was. It seems to come from the site of the pulled tooth (#14). The acid flows around my mouth, is often thick (like mucus) and is very uncomfortable and painful to the gum tissue. What would you suggest I do from here? | Hello, It looks like the area of the tooth extraction is not yet healed and the thick mucus with acidic taste is appearing to be due to pus discharge from the extraction site. You should get an x-ray of the #14 area done to rule out the problem, there is a possibility that any root piece is left in the extraction socket, and it is the cause of lingering infection, pus discharge and pain in gum. For now, you can take antibiotics like Augmenting and if the pain is intolerable, take anti-inflammatory painkillers like Ibuprofen medicine. Do warm saline gargles and antiseptic mouthwash gargles. Do not let food accumulate in that area. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. |
