I have had a lower right abdominal pain above the hip for 5 days now and it started with a lower stabbing pain that was very painful and then became a dull ache and it was painful to say the least. The next day I just had the dull ache on the lower area of the stomach near the hip but also started hurting next to the navel and also I felt very hot and cold and also had no appetite . The pain seems to be worse when I am standing up and moving around and hasn t got any better. I finally decided yesterday to book a doctor s appointment and this morning I went and at the end of the appointment, the doctor didn t even know what it was, but thought it wasn t appendicitis but didn t rule it out. So basically I have a blood test next week and then an ultrasound sometime (no idea when though). So I still don t know what it is but the doctor thought my lower right stomach was quite hard around the belly button and ordered the tests so I am going to have to live with it until I have the tests. Today the whole of the lower right abdomen feels quite bloated and I have started to feel pain in an area below the navel and above the hip. I really don t know what to do as I don t feel well at all with most of my stomach hurting all day and don t know what s wrong. Any help is appreciated. | Hello Welcome to Chat Doctor Thanks for the query. Pain in Rt Lower abdomen starting from navel and moving downwards with loss of appetite is most commonly due to appendicitis. Though there may be other causes like Memetic amenities, ureteric colic diverticulitis, I suggest you to get your blood examination and sonography report done soon which will help in early diagnosis of your problem. And if you are having severe pain and not feeling really well I advise you to go to emergency to a hospital and get yourself checked and if necessary admission so that treatment can be started early to avoid any complications. Wish you good health and get well soon |
Hello, I have brown, dry, rough, flaky skin in my armpits, on the back of my neck and on my chest. Ive been to several doctors and each gave my some sort of cream, but it has never completely gone away. Its gotten worst lately, is there anything to sooth it until i can go to the doctor again? | Thanks for using Chat Doctor The causes could be1. Acanthosis --When we develop insulin resistance there will be parish discoloration of the skin occurs especially neck. Usually this is seen in obese individuals. Othwrwise also when the insulin resistance occurs you can have this...2. Thickening of the skin also can cause this problem. You can apply moisturizing cream 3. Fungal infection is another cause. But you will have itching around the area. Please do a blood sugar check up including HbA1C,Thyroid profile, Complete blood count with ESR.....please consult your doctor with these results.... |
I seem to be dealing with an almost rash or something like it on my butt. Not in the hold but on the cheeks rather. I work out a lot and work outside at a pool and beach so I am constantly sweating which seems to affect it more. I dont know if its some sort of irritation from all of the sweat or what. Any answers?

my child of six months having fever from last sunday. initially doctor has suggested crocin syrup then amoxicylin with crocin with no improvement in temperature which is hovering around 102 today doctor has suggested meftal after two hours of one shot of meftal till no improvement in temperature what to do now | Thanks for putting up your query at Chat Doctor. It would have been easier for me if I could see the reports of the blood and urine investigations that your doctor might have done. You have also not mentioned whether the baby is still exclusively breastfed or whether he/she is feeding well. I would have also liked to know about the frequency of passing urine and whether there is cough. If you let me know these details, I would be able to help you better. Most of such fevers are viral. Since you are already giving antibiotics, I would suggest you to wait and see if the fever comes down. If the baby is not feeding well, it might be better to hospitalize the child. Metal contains Metonymic Acid which is prescribed for stopping bleeding. Your details are not enough to estimate the source of bleeding that your doctor is suspecting. Please get in touch with your doctor and discuss or get back to me with the details and I would try to help you further. |

Steam inhalation also useful for relieving congestion.... If dyspnea occurs then spirometry done to rule out asthma .... |
I have been taking Lutera birth control pills for almost 3 months now and this is the first time this has happened. I had my period about a week ago (8/23-8/30) and I m still bleeding , except it s a sticky/chunky, thick black colored blood , almost black! Is this normal? If it keeps going on, should I see my doctor and change BC? | Hi, thank you for your query. What you are experiencing are the classic side effects of Luther birth control.a lot of women experience Vaginal bleeding between periods (spotting) or missed/irregular periods may occur, especially during the first 4-5 months of use. This along with clots, passage of dark-colored blood is seen. There may be associated nausea, vomiting, headache, stomach cramping/bloating, dizziness, vaginal discomfort/irritation, increased vaginal fluids, or breast tenderness/enlargement.I would advise you to consult your OB/GUN to change the birth control method to a more suitable one. Thank you, wishing you good health |
Hi, I just got my lab results following infertility issues I m having. FSH 28.5mUI/mL, LH 14mUI/mL, estradiol 19 pg/mL,prolactine 46.11 ng/ml. I also have a constant low back pain for about 6-7 months. I am 34, my periods have lately been irregular | Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor I hope you have got hormonal tests done on day 2/3 of your periods. If yes then I am sorry to say that you are suffering from premature ovarian failure and chances of conceiving naturally is very rare. Reason of irregular cycles could be explained by this and you'll be having menopause earlier than others. Prolactin levels are also high which needs treatment. Don't lose hope. Still you can be pregnant by IVF using donor eggs. If uterine fibroid is away from uterine cavity then it will not cause any problem. Take care. |
HI, I HAVE BEEN MARRIED FOR 12 YEARS NOW, TRIED TO CONCIVE NATURALLY AFTER 4 YEARS BUT UNSUCCESSFUL. HAD ICSI IN JULY 2009 AND CONCEIVED IN 1ST TRY. BUT HAD SPOTTING TILL 20 WEEKS, AT 20TH WEEK DEIVERED A STILL BORN BABY. LATER AFTER 6 MONTHS TRIED THE ICSI CYCLES 4 TIMES WITH ALL NEGATIVE RESULTS. GAVE A BREAK TILL YEAR 2012. IN MARCH 2013 TRIED THE CYCLE OF FERTOMID, PROGYANOVA AND DHUPHSTON. 1ST MONTH DIDNT SUCCEED, NOW ON 2ND CYCLE. WHAT ARE THE CHANCES TO CONCEIVE? PLZ HELP | Hello Payalthanks for your query. You need to provide me with further details, as to why an CSI was necessary in the first place. Also, the cause of stillbirth needs to be investigated. You have to rule out genetic, chromosomal, autoimmune, infectious causes, uterine abnormalities and hormonal imbalances - before planning a future pregnancy. If CSI was advised and carried out in the first case, then chances are high that you would require CSI and IVF again to conceive. The chances of natural conception after 12 years of married life and 4 failed CSI cycles are quite low. Please consult an Infertility specialist and do not waste more time. Take care and wish you luck. |
Ive been having stomach pains for the past 4 days that tend to exacerbate at night. It is not related to heartburn but it does hurt. I went to the hospital on the 3rd day since I had a lot of pain but nothing could be diagnosed. I was just prescribed zofram and protonics. Only thing that helps a little bit is taking a warm bath but shortly after the pain comes back. | Hi friend, Thanks for your query. The details are very sketchy and vague. I wish you had mentioned your age and gender; the exact area (above/below navel; right or left side of abdomen) where pain occurs; your bowel movements; nausea/vomiting, if any; urine problems if any; itching at the anus; passage of mucus or blood in stools; details of periods (if you are a female).however, for the time being, you may take a deforming course and anti-emetic (such as Metronidazole) course days. You may either revert to me (AS PREMIUM QUERY, ad Chat Doctor. |
Hi, I have been on Femilon for 3 months now. I had unprotected sex during the first 3 days of the 7 day pill break, during which my period is expected. It is the 4th day of my 7 day pill break and I still havent gotten my period. Is it possible that I am pregnant? | Hi, You are absolutely safe since you have had the intercourse during the safe period and added to that, you are extra protected due to regular pill intake. It could be a slightly delayed period, and you may wait for another couple of days and take medical advice only if you do not see your period within the next week. The chances of conception are almost nil in the way it happened. Hope your query has been answered. Wish you good health. |
I have premature ejaculation problem. I release in less than a minute, in just 3-4 strokes... i cannot stay longer. Me & my girl friends had tried to do in many ways in relaxed conditions but still i am not able to do it. we have tried it again and again but still failed..... .please suggest me medicine OR healthy food to get rid of this problem.I am going to marry after a week please help me. | Hello ! Many things are there for this cause. Little celebrated history could be better, however I will try to make it simple. One of the reason is mind related (its depends upon your thinking and so) but as you said you tried in different conditions it could partially ruled-out. Other thing is due to the blood supply reduction to the organ, which could only find-out by the Doppler evaluation. Another thing is Diabetic can cause this in the complications. So I would recommend consulting urologist for better evaluation. Hope it helps you. Thank you. |
I have herpes, n wen i was diagnosed i start noticing thesr skin tag mole lookin things growing. Dey start off small n get bigger they in my pubic area but are starting to increase in number n size, i bn embarassed to get it checked out nw its startin to bother me. Is dis genital warts i aldo read bout skin cancer | Hi, Herpes is not a skin cancer. It is a sexually transmitted infection, so it is infection that you have been in contact due to sexual activity. Generally patients that get one sexually transmitted infection might have other infections as well so in your case because you are having genital warts this might mean that you might have contracted HPV as well which is a sexually transmitted infection as well but is different from herpes. I would recommend you to have a visit with your doctor and have a pap smear (as a routine check) and also discuss the chance of removing the warts. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. |
If i was sent to the emergency room because of high blood pressure and given medicine on a drip, which fixed me up. Then after about an hour or so i was giving another dose of some other medicine as i was being prepped to go to a private room. I started complaining about feeling nausea and light headed. Then my arms went tingling, next my hands clamped shut and continued constricting. The rapid response team came in. My face went numb, i became incoherent and sweating perfusely. Ok my question is, was that second injection the cause of my relapse? | Hello ! I read your question and understand your concern. I would like to know the name of the Chat Doctor. In my opinion the symptoms you describe may be related to a possible Transient ischemic attack, which is caused by a low blood flow to the brain or a seizure, a type of Epilepsy. I don't think the injection has been the cause. Because a Transient ischemic attack can be preceded by hypertension. I would recommend a brain MRI, a cardiologist consult to find out the causes in case of a possible transient ischemic attack. An EEG would be very helpful in case of a seizure suspicion. Hope to have been helpful! Thank you for using Chat Doctor! Best wishes |
2 days ago i thought I had an allergic reaction to tomatoes in a salad. I am mildly allergic to tomatoes -they make my mouth itch and sting sometimes. Nothing serious. But this time the mouth pain got worse and my inside upper and lower lip and sides of my tongue became swollen, painful and developed red welts. I had trouble sleeping because of the mouth pain and now I feel very fatigued, I have a low fever 99.8 and tender swollen glands only neck. What can this be? | Hi I do care for your concern. The history suggest hypersensitivity reaction to tomatoes. The condition is called as angioedema. Taking a shot of steroid such as DEXA as soon as possible will relive the symptoms. It is advisable to take anti histamine tablets for three days to get rid of symptoms completely. The fever and swelling is also caused due to inflammation and will subside after treatment. Hope I have answered your question, If you have more feel free to ask. Thank you. |

I am kranthi of 19 years old and 5.6 height.My lips are black in colour.I have no habit of smoking and drinking.How to make them normally?? | Hi!Ranchi, Welcome To Chat Doctor forum, I would say that the treatment would be difficult, but we still have some options. If your dark lips are acquired due to allergy to something then there is some possibility. But if it same since birth, then it would be difficult. In case of allergic condition one can apply tacrolimus cream locally along with a sunscreen. You can also try HY Chat Doctor. If nothing works then the last resort would be lasers. Specific laser for this would be Q-switched Nd |
My boyfriend started work and was spraying paint with a sprayer. They used respirators only when they were spraying, but they were still working with the fumes. Its been a week now and he is feeling numbness in his face and he feels almost like he s high, he said his vision is weird and blurry. He went to the doctor and they did no tests exceot blood pressure and listening to his lungs. They said he was fine. He is still feeling weird, and wants it to go away. He was fine until he started working. | Hi, welcome to our site. I am Chat Doctor, MD. Read your query. That is a very significant question and I appreciate your problem. I will try my best to answer your query feel that his problems is the fumes that they worked with. It is possible that the respirators they were using were not so tightly applied. In this case, the fumes may have entered his lungs. Some of it is easily absorbed via the skin as well. Once they are in the circulation, it takes time for the body to clear them as some of them really attach to the blood components and do not budge until the blood is gradually replaced by the body. I would agree with the doctors because the examination would be normal. However, a blood electrophoresis test may help them find the defects. I suggest some fresh air and high concentration oxygen breathing. I hope this helps you. Inform the reports mentioned above/if any other, so I can be of help further. I have given you the answer to the maximum considering the information provided. The results of the tests could further enhance my answer to you. You can upload them on the site.

My son s allergies are bothering him very much. He has been taking clarifying every day for about a month for the high pollen count and today took a decongestant. This has not helped. He plays baseball each night during the week. Have read that I should close up the house and turn the air on but he is at school all day with no air. What can we do to help him? | Hello. Thank you for asking at Chat Doctor. From your history, I guess your son is having allergic rhinitis, which is not controlled despite medications. I would like to suggest him to take a combination of montelukast & levocetirizine regularly for 2 weeks. I would also suggest him to use nasal saline spray 3-4 times daily. Avoidance of dust, cold air exposure, smoke & air pollution will definitely help. If he is allergic to pollen, it is advisable to close up the house during high pollen count days. However, if he is not allergic to pollen and allergic to house dust mite & indoor molds, I would suggest ensuring proper ventilation and sunlight into the house to reduce humidity and increase temperature. So that depends on what he is really allergic to. I would suggest you to get allergy testing done, if not already done. Hope this will help you. Wish your son best of the health. Regards. |
hi!! i had a misscarriage at 5 weeks pregnancy, in 1st week of may!! my lmp was 16 0f august. we r trying for a baby n to avoid the misshap again i wish to get the pregnancy test, beta ChatDoctor asap... after how many days the test result is positive plus hoe do i know if the result is positive or its the falling beta ChatDoctor from the previous preg?? | Hi, You should do home pregnancy test on the day of the missed period. If you want to do beta Chat Doctor levels you should also do them at 4 weeks that is the day of the missed period, and repeat them after 48 hours. Your previous pregnancy Chat Doctor levels would have been back to non-pregnant levels by 20 days after the miscarriage, so you have nothing to worry about, as you are way past that time. Hope this helps. Regards. |

Thanks for choosing Chat Doctor. F. You have got irregular periods, had unprotected sex in expected date of ovulation. Feeling pain in the suprapubic region. Difficulty in passing urine. As you suspect it could be threatened abortion, or tubal pregnancy. Urine pregnancy test reveals if pregnancy is there. As it appears it must be a urinary tract infection. Or stone in the urinary tract. I advise you to consult a gynecologist for diagnosis and treatment. You may need to have M.R.I. besides other routine tests for confirmation.In The meanwhile you can have anti spasmodic for pain relief. Wishing for a quick and complete recovery. Best regards. |
Hi, my baby is one year 9months old. She is suffering with vomiting and dark green loo. Seems like motions with foul smell. Suggested by doctor to use ofloxacin ,metronidazole. Is it safe to use the drug as there is a warning on the carton as CARCINOGENIC | Hi... Thank you for consulting in Chat Doctor. PLEASE STOP ANTIBIOTICS (OFLOXACIN AND METRONIDAZOLE). It seems your kid is having viral diarrhea. Once it starts it will take 5-7 days to completely get better. Unless the kids having low urine output or very dull or excessively sleepy or blood in motion or green bilious vomiting...you need not worry. There is no need to use antibiotics (OFLOXACIN AND METRONIDAZOLE) unless there is blood in the motion. Antibiotics might worsen if unnecessarily used causing antibiotic associated diarrhea. I suggest you use zinc supplements (Z&D Chat Doctor. |
Hi, today is day 4 after 3 day embyro transfer. I have developed a cold (fever, runny/blocked nose, cough) since the following day of transfer. I have been taking panadol for 3 days now, but fever is still here. Do I still stand a chance with getting pregnant | Hello, thank you for your contact to Chat Doctor. If I am your treating doctor I suggest you that it may be some viral infection. It has nothing to do with embryo transfer. But it should not be a serious virus infection like CMV virus which causes a fetal malformation. Continue with your treatment. Viral infection will be self limiting, it will be treated as such. If you have to ask me anything you can ask me. Thank you. Chat Doctor. Infectious disease specialist. |
Hey, doc. I have this oranges pea sized limp on my cheek. It does not hurt, it s just there, and it is a darkish orange color. It s not a pimple or anything, but I dont know what it is. What could it be, and how can I get rid of it? It s been there for months. | Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You may have sebaceous cyst or some other mass or infection. You should go for examination. If it is infective then antibiotics will help you. If it is sebaceous cyst or other mass then excision biopsy should be done. Consult your doctor and take treatment accordingly.

Pregnancy is possible in you, but it might be difficult for you to get conceive. I advise you to first complete medication for TB. After that go to a nearby reputed gynecologist and under her supervision and with advice go for conception. Because previous medical history may lead to some problem while conception, so it's better to take precautionary measures before. I hope you find my answer helpful. Thank you. |
i have low left stomach pain from last 30 days, i have seen doctor, he described it is because of my stress i am feeling acute pain at my stomach. I have done sonography , als0 full stomach scan..nothing is found in my stomach..but it is hard for me. when i use some medicines prescribed normaxin RT .. | Hi. I think you are under the right treatment, just see if it is helping you or not. Other probable reason can be colitis due to an infection. I would advise such a patient to take an antibiotic like Ofloxacine and metronidazole for 5 days (if not yet taken) under the supervision and prescription by your Doctor. IF still no relief, then I would advise colonoscopy for diagnosis and further management. |
I have had mild upper abdominal discomfort for around 6 months. It is mainly based around the upper right abdomen, although sometimes also on the upper left. Can sometimes be worse after eating or when first waking. I have noticed today around 5 or 6 pinprick red dots scattered across both sides of my upper abdomen. Any thoughts? | Hi ! You have not mentioned anything about your dietary and bowel habits. If you frequently eat from outside, it could be some kind of creeping infection of the intestines and stomach which is causing trouble for you. Amoebas is very common and this can give rise to hyper acidity and pain in the stomach. Hyperacidity can also occur more in empty stomach in the early morning hours. However, the site of the pain in your case is right upper abdomen and sometimes on the left also. Right sides upper abdominal pain could be due to gall stones with inflammation of the gall bladder, which may inflame the pancreas with pain in the middle and left side of upper abdomen. The pinprick red dots scattered across your upper abdomen could occur due to a variety of pancreatitis. These are all the possibilities as per your history. However, I will suggest you to get yourself examined by your family physician who may advise you for undergoing an ultrasound abdomen, serum amylase and lipase estimation and some other tests as need be. Wishing you an early recovery. |
I have a weird sensation in ride side of stomach (abdomen) about half way between belly button and ribs (just off to right side). mostly noticeable when I bend over or stretch. had ultrasound and blood tests and all organs are fine... nothing irregular showed up. all good. could it be a muscle issue? feels like stitch like feeling when I exercise (ride bike), but most noticeable if I riding hunch up. if I stretch out on bike it feels better. thesensation does not feel too deep. I have previously had IBS issues, but that seems a lot better on Gluten free diet and minimal dairy.... have been referred for another ultra sound for possible hernia - but the feeling is more general area roughly about size of palm of hand.... but always in the same region. any ideas? | Thanks for query. Pain which changes on posture and as you mention not so deep. With normal investigations it might be probably muscular in origin. Hernia would give you a bulge in that area. If pain is severe you need a complete evaluation to rule out all possible causes like Biliary tract diseaseAppendicitisDiverticulitisMesenteric ischemia (risk factors include atrial fibrillation, atherosclerotic disease, and low ejection fraction)Abdominal aortic aneurysmPeptic ulcer diseaseMalignancyGastroenteritis. I am not here to scare you. But just to enumerate that these are possible causes of abdominal pain.regards |

Modern Chat Doctor. Slowly, this may lead to BRONCHITIS and other complications if not treated properly. My own recommendation on the basis of my three decades experience in clinical Ayurveda is that your child needs to strengthen the resistance against allergens, changing season and to clean the pulmonary system of accumulated cough. This is possible only by Ayurveda which may seem slow, but action sustains for long. The scheme of treatment is cleansing the cough, raising the immunity and instilling the strength by special herbal combos designed for child |
I had a thyroid biopsy and the results indicate that the test was inclusive but suspicious of papillary carcinoma. I was told that I should have surgery. Is this diagnosis accurate? How can a further get tested to confirm these findings before considering surgery? | Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. If your biopsy results suggest papillary carcinoma of thyroid then its accurate results. You should go for total thyroidectomy surgery. No further testing is required for that. Consult your doctor and take treatment accordingly. Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Wish you a very good health. |

After oral sex I noticed a small black mark on the head of my penis which I presumed to be a blood clot. I have had it for the last two days or so and it is still apparent after this. How long should it take for it to disappear? and should I see a doctor if it persists? Also could I take the matter into my own hands by popping the clot with a sterilised pin or would that be unadvised? Any advice would be appreciated. | Degree understand your concerns went through your details. Please do not do any sort of interference without a doctor advise. The black spot could be anything from a simple mole to a blood clot. Blood clot takes around 15 days to 30 days to disappear. If it is herpes like blisters or any other infections you need the advice of a dermatologist. To be on the safest side, please consult a dermatologist. Take care.

Im 38 years old and I have had high white cell count for the last 3 months. I have had 3 lots of different antibiotics. And they havent worked. I just recently had another blood tests and it still shows that my white cell count is 13.7. And also shows that myelocytes is 0.82. Blast cells is 0.14. Could you tell me what that means. Thank you. | Hi there, Thank you for your question. Blast cells and relocates are immature cells of the white blood cell series. So when one's white cell count is high like yours is, it means that either this is an infection or something else that is causing your white blood cells to be high. Since your bone marrow is producing a lot of cells it also sometimes causes immature white blood cells to also come into the blood like in your case. This is not something to worry about a great deal. Kindest Regards |
My son went camping last weekend, waking with chafed swollen lips, and itchy roof of mouth. I gave him Benadryl, and hydrocortisone for his lips. This helped, but did not take it completely away. Same symptoms persisting this morning. What should I do? | Hello. Thank you for asking at Chat Doctor. It seems your son has got angioedema involving lips. This is a swelling involving deeper tissues than skin, and usually it takes a few days to disappear. I would suggest you to give your son an oral antihistamine & montelukast daily for 3-7 days depending upon response. Hope this will help you. Wish your son a fast recovery and best of the health.

Ive had the coil fitted for just over 4 and a half years now and I have had problems with it from the day it was fitted for the first year I bled heavily and had extreme abdominal pain. I suffer from other medical problems such as POCS, severe constipation and Irritable Bowel Syndrome. Within the second year I stopped using the laxatives I was being prescribed as I was going to the toilet every day without them something that I was unable to do since I was 15. started having huge bloating but would go away after a few days went to see my GP regarding this and speak to her about being able to feel the threads whilst having intercourse wit my partner and she cut them for me. the 3rd year of having the coil in caused more problems I hadnt bled for about a year and then all of a sudden I was bleeding for 2 weeks at a time went to see my GP again regarding this and they sent me to see the nurse to check the threads under an examination the nurse could not locate the threads but I had a scan 2 months or so prior to this regarding POCS and when the GP looked at the scan they determined that the coil was visible but advised me that it was fine. I have been in and out of my doctors for the following past 2 years with constant problems with bloating and I was given advice as to stick with it that these where only minor side effects. My stomach has been bloated for the best part of 3 weeks now and I am going for an ultrasound this month but I was only told on the 24th of this month that the coil has been ineffective and hadnt protected me against pregnancy. I am extremely depressed about the way I look and cannot cope with the pain anymore can you give me any advice. thanks | Hi, You got coil since 4.5 years, Had many problems, threads were cut, not felt, but coil is inside and infected. Feeling bloated. First thing one should change the coil every 3 years. Stings were cut, and it will be difficult to remove the coil. I advise you to consult a gynecologist for removal of the coil, immediately. I to my patients with such symptoms prescribe fluconazole, a combination of ofloxacin and ornidazole, and omeprazole and risperidone. Thank you. |

I am getting 16 teeth pulled this week and havent been to a normal doctor for years because of money issue. Only reason how I am affording to get 16 teeth pulled is because a family member is paying. But since 2003, I have had chest/head pains and Im wondering if its safe to get my teeth pulled if those issues are going on? | Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Read your query. Having chest pains/ head pains is a matter of concern which says there is some underlying issue which has to be checked up. I would advise you to visit a GP doctor first and get a check-up done in relation to your chest pain and then proceed with the tooth removal. Any underlying heart conditions may cause you damage when the local anesthesia is given. Thanks and regards. |
My 11 month old is vomiting almost after every meal since yesterday afternoon. She acts normal before and after. Her last throw up had really dark brown stuff in it that I have no idea what it is. I m nursing her and she ll drink, but not very much. We are giving her pedia light as well. She doesn t have a fever or swollen tummy. What is wrong with her? | HI...by what you quote I feel that the kid is having GER (gastroesophageal reflux). Your daughter will need - 1. Antireflux therapy - Proton pump inhibitors + antiemetics2. Always make her lie down in a propped up position - as in the care seat. She should not be sleeping completely flatly.3. Avoid heavy feeding and feeding more times and in small liquors.4. This type of GER is the root cause for the constipation she is having. She needs expert gastroenterology consultation. Regards - |
I keep getting a strange (pinching) pain that comes from under left breast, on far left, as if from behind rib cage. The pain is random and very excruciating. It used to be once or twice a week, now it it a few times per day, when I am not straining. Any idea what could cause it? | Hello, As this pain can be caused due to tight clothing like the Blazers. Due to which the muscle gets restrict and leads to abnormal tightness in the muscles. Also, there might be some acidic issue which needs to be ruled out. If only muscular than with simple stretching exercise and hot water fermentation you should be fine. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Jay In Chat Doctor. |
I was electro shocked held to unconciouness afib for two days till medicine got me back rate as high as 180. I am 49 years old male 160 lbs 6 foot. could this cause me to have diabetic carrectoristics or even be dibetic after? also could it cause a small almost insect bite like rash above both anckels about 4 inches? blacking out and hard to focus with eyes though eye doctor says nothing wrong with vision? | Hi, Sorry to hear about your medical condition. There is no correlation between an electroshock and you're having diabetic symptoms. Diabetes is a disease process that takes years before it even manifests as symptoms. When were you electron shocked? And what was the exact medical condition that you were told to have regarding the heart. Also, could you please tell me more about the blackouts. Do there occur immediately on standing up from a lying position? Do they occur after a walking for a while, or they occur on exertion? Are you a Hypertensive? If so I think you should have your supine and standing BP checked? And finally what medications are you on right now? And finally could you describe more about the rash above both ankles. Is it red or is it elevated? Does it look like it could have occurred due to physical friction with another object recently? |
Hello I am a 38 year old woman (birthday just passed on Aug.19th) and I have decided to try for a baby. I believe my cycle ranges from 27-28 days although recently after taking the morning after pill in July my period came after 32 days and arrived on Aug. 2nd. I just got my period yesterday (first sign of it anyway...pinkish) but today this morning its a normal color. Anyway June I got my period on the 5th, July I got it on the 7th, August I got it on the 2nd (first period after taking morning after pill in July). I had unprotected sex with my partner on Aug. 20th. Unfortunately that did not result in pregnancy because I got a little light pink bleeding on the 29th but as of this morning Aug. 30th my period is it is offically here cramps and all. Anyway, my question is what date range should I begin trying for a baby again would it be Sept. 8th ,9th or 10th and how frequently? I m not sure what day I ovulate. I really want to convieve this time. Also considering my age how likely do you think it is that I will conceive. | Hi, welcome to Chat Doctor, I am Chat Doctor First, though there are several procedures by which you can identify the day of ovulation, in several instances that fails. From your gynecological history, it can be said that you normally ovulate in between 12-16 days from the day of first menstrual bleeding. So, my advice is tried between 8th September to 18th September. Try minimum once a day. And one more thing, counting the day of first bleeding as day one, just try from day 10 to day 20. |
Hi Doctor,I am getting allergy in my skin often ,i dont know why i am getting these.I have taken the allergy test and they said few things will create allergy to you like dust,chicken etc.So i omitted taking these items but still i am getting allergy.Could you please provide your suggestions | Hello, Thank you for asking at Chat Doctor.

Yesterday I was having a bm and I was straining then all of a sudden I felt a sharp pain in my head almost like something burst inside my head. Well afterward I had a headache all day, I took aspirin and ibuprofen but it still hurt. When I woke up this morning it didn t hurt but when I would cough it would, and now sometimes it comes and goes. Could I have done some kind of damage, I ve had a stroke back in 07 from a blood clot. Thank you | Hello dear, Please accept my concerns for you. Abrupt onset headache, which increases on any form of straining(including coughing) can be a symptom of some structural intracranial pathology like a mass lesion inside the brain or an aneurysm(even subarachnoid hemorrhage).Also, it can also be a part of benign headache like primary cough headache(which is episodic and increases on coughing and other forms of straining like urination). You should, get a Computerized tomographic scan(CT scan) of head, without much delay. Please get in touch with a neurologist as soon as possible. I hope it was of help. |

The rashes are nothing but allergic urticaria rashes, apparently due to amoxicillin. Ensure that amoxicillin is not prescribed in future to your son. Always tell his doctor about sulfa and amoxicillin allergy. A short course of an oral antihistamines Chat Doctor. Consult your doctor and apprise him of my opinion. I am certain that he will agree with me and substitute amoxicillin with a safer antibiotic; and also prescribe anti-allergic |
hiactually i previously had a miscarriage and when went to the doctor he is giving me clomid 50mg and primolut 5mg on every mensus cycle to consume . i see the doctor on every 4th day on my mesus every month. than straight away i start with clomid. after 13days of mensus i start with primolut one per day for 10day. doctor saying this will help to concieve the baby faster. please if you can help me in telling if my doctor recommending the right thing | Hi, I think closed is fine, but you can take some other progesterone instead of primal N like Austen or phaeton. Talk to your doctor regarding this. Track your follicles' growth by repeated ultrasound and when your follicles is more than 17 mm, take injection for rupturing the follicles. Be in contact with your husband for next 2 to 3 days. You can try like that for 3 to 6 months. Hope I have answered your question. If you have any other query I will be happy to help.

Hi Doctor;Warm RegardsI had a query ; i am always feeling since quite days that if i by chance threw semen or release semen on any one he will die;this has led to weak mental conditions as it has been hardwired in my brain,i cannot also ejaculate freely of fear of this.I will be getting married ;and thoughts like this come;If i release semen into my wife vagina she will die.I know this is illogical;but something has crept into my mind.I cannot understand why one would die with mere contamination with semen.Please make me understand and help to get over this .. | Hi friend, first let me figure out your prob-----since you are getting married shortly, I think this thought is haunting you, and you are fearful about sex. Despite any logic, these thoughts are intrusive and making your life miserable, you can't concentrate at job, confidence lowered, can't sleep, cant relax. It all be better if you clarify further more about the prob that whether you have a tendency to \"doubt\", get occupied by trivial/unusual thoughts/acts, do some rituals/actions to get relief. If so probably you have problems of \"obsessive compulsive disorder\". Learn more about it from authentic websites. Get to know how to stay relaxed, how to control thoughts, build up your good habits & hobbies. If your time to get married is very short, or you think that your problem is very severe better take help from experts. Best wishes |
Hi, my wife is expected and after having a ultrasound in the 28th week of pregnancy, there were extrarenal pelvis - right kidney 5.8 and left kidney 4.4. I want to know how safe this after birth and is there any harm of this extrarenal pelvis. Please give me detailed information regarding extrarenal pelvis in kidney of fetus. | Hello, and I hope I can help you today. An extrarenal pelvis is a variation of the anatomy of the kidneys which is actually found in about 10% of the population. It is absolutely no long-term medical consequences, but it can be confused with other types of urinary obstruction which do not have as good a prognosis therefore it is always important to monitor it if it is seen in a fetus to make sure it is not another more dangerous diagnosis like urinary obstruction. So there are no consequences of the babies health by having an extrarenal pelvis. Many people who have this condition are not diagnosed until they have a test such as an ultrasound of the kidney or CAT scan for another reason and have never had any symptoms over the course of their lifetime. So there's no reason to worry further about the health of your baby because of the extrarenal pelvis. I hope I was able to adequately answer your question today, and that my advice was reassuring. Best wishes to you and your wife for the rest of the pregnancy, |
hey doc i have middle chest pains and sometimes they go to the right and left, when inhaling and like theres something hurting in my throat. Sometimes I feel like something going down my throat without doing nothing at all. When I wake up i feel severe pains in the lower right back and sometimes I cant come out of bed. When I swallow I feel like my middle chest hurts. Im a 22 and Im a heavy smoker, although now quitting slowly using chantix. thanks doc ! | HAI.this type of chest pain can mimic many things like acute gastritis, cough with bronchitis, cardiac related, lung related like pleuritic pain, esophageal induced coronary spasms. Being a smoker u have all possibilities of these problems. Please go ahead with a chest X-ray, ECG, upper gastrointestinal endoscopy, sugar levels, blood pressure check up.u can take a course of PPI(proton pump inhibitors) like pantoprazole added with antacids as a course for 3 weeks. Take care good luck |
my husband has a blood blister in his mouth they have been coming and going for over four to five weeks now could they be caused by the large amount of medication he is on - the Dr has refered him to the Community Dentist yet our own dentist asked him to see the Dr | Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query. The blisters could be because of the viral infection like herpes zoster infection, or it can be Memphis or pemphigoid. Consult an oral physician and get it ruled out. If it is a viral infection you can take a course of antiviral Chat Doctor. If it is Memphis or pemphigoid you can take topical steroids like triamcinolone acetone (0.1%) 4-5times daily for 1 week. You can also take topical anesthetic and analgesics like Anabel gel for the pain. If the lesion does not heal then get the lesion biopsied to confirm the diagnosis. I hope my answer will help you, take care. |
hello, i was running and ran into a fire hydrant and smacked my leg very hard..the. fleshy part above the knee. it hurts very badly and is bruising and swollen...but i can stand on it...i am having difficulty bending it..i dont think it is broken but i am concerned about it | Hi, Thanks for your query. From description, it seems to be soft tissue injury Swelling might be due to haematomaformation(collection of blood). You need an x-ray to rule out any bony injury. I suggest you to consult an orthopaedician nearby for a detailed examination. You may get the X-ray of the area affected under his/her guidance. Beside icing and elevating it, you can take anti-inflammatory Chat Doctor. I do hope that you have found something helpful, and I will be glad to answer any further query. Take care |
Hi. Ive been on a low dose bc pill for a few months now after switching from the IUD. All periods have been normal until this month. No period. Its several days late now, I start my active pills again today. Ive had lots of cramping for the last two weeks and nausea off and on for the last 2-3 days. Home pregnancy test was negative...? I know there were a few days I took my pill later than usual by a few hours. Not sure what to think. | Hi, Thanks for sharing your health concern with us. Since you have switched over to oral contraception, you have to use additional protection during the initial couple of months to avoid failure due to breakthrough ovulation. Since you are a few months into the pill, your hormone milieu should have settled by now. A few hours delay in the pill intake should not affect much. This delayed period is hence, of significance. Your symptoms are also suggestive of a possible pregnancy. Home pregnancy tests read well when performed 3-7 days after the missed period with a fresh early morning sample of urine. Since you have to start the active pills now, it is better to exclude/confirm pregnancy through the blood test and plan further management. Hope this helps. |
my 11 month daughter has very prominent lumps either side of her nose when she laughs or screws her face up..they are just above the nostril...is this something to worry about. They have always been there but seem more prominent now she is getting older | Hi Dear, Welcome to Chat Doctor. Understanding your concern. As per your query you have lumps on nose which is a skin growth made up of blood vessels. This type of skin growth is typically not a cause for concern unless it often bleeds or changes in size, shape, or color. This is basically Angola. I would suggest you to consult dermatologist for proper examination and to rule out condition like cyst. You can start treatment after proper examination. There are few treatment options which doctor can opt for its treatment like electrocauterization, surgery, excision and laser therapy. Hope your concern has been resolved. Get Well Soon. Best Wishes, |
my last pill of diane 35 was last Dec. 23, 2013 then I had unprotected sex in the morning of Dec.26, 2013 then I take Charlize pill at the night of the same date. Im afraid now, I still dont get my period. I tried to have a pregnancy test last January 04, 2013 but its negative. Now, its January 9 but still I dont get my period. Is there any possibility of me getting pregnant?? Pls help me. I need a very urgent answer. | Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor, If you had taken Diane 35 regularly every day, starting from Day one of your menstrual period, and you had unprotected sex on 26th December, there is no chance of pregnancy. There could be many other causes for not getting period. Sometimes if you are taking these hormonal tablets, randomly, without asking the Doctor, or not following the proper instruction, it may disturb your cycles. You may repeat your Pregnancy test tomorrow morning again with first morning sample. If it is negative just wait patiently for the period, but make sure to avoid intercourse or use proper protection. If you are continuing Charlie pills, continue it, and you may see your period within 10 days after you the last tablet. If you still have some doubt r getting impatient, you may see your Doctor. Hope you got your answer. Chat Doctor. |
Since about 6 months ago I started to have sticky saliva from time to time. That was the time when I started to use denture and the fact that my dentist recommended a kind of glue to hold the upper denture in place. Also the soft roof (upper part) of my mouth seems to taste slightly salty. Can you tell me why? | Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query. The sticky saliva or salty taste could be because of the denture adhesive that you are using to keep the denture fit in the oral cavity. Usually the salivary flow will increase when you wear denture. In your case the salivary flow may be normal but because of the denture adhesive you might be feeling like this. Consult an oral physician and prosthodontist and get it ruled out. If there is problem in the denture get it relined or rebased so that there is no need to use denture adhesive. I hope my answer will help you, take care. |
Hi I am a 48 year old female. I have been experience shortness of breath for last 2 days. Last night I was waking from shortness of breath. Today have been short of breath all day. I went to the doc straight after work. My blood pressure was 163/91. I usually have around 145/83. I am not tight in the chest, but feel slight numb on my left calf...as if I am wearing a tight sock there. | Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. In my opinion, we should rule out hypertensive heart failure in your case. Your blood pressure is high and your symptoms like sudden onset breathlessness in night are commonly seen with heart failure. So better to consult cardiologist and get done 1. Blood pressure monitoring 2. ECG 3. 2d echo 4. Stress test. You may need diuretics and antihypertensive Chat Doctor. |
Hi Im 32 years with 70 kg. I took mtp kit 3 days back and bleeding has been just for one day now bleeding is not there but feeling very weak and continously vomiting tendency, nothing like to eat or drink and also feeling vertigo tendency please suggest | Hi, Thanks for the query. I understand your question. MTP kit has two type of medicines Out of then Mifepristone is to be taken on day one followed by 2 pills of Bisoprolol vaginally/ orally after 48 hours. Failing any response 2 more pills are to be repeated after 24 hours. * Have you followed the same way. If there is no bleeding after 3 days of the course, you need consultation of a gynecologist & exclude extrauterine pregnancy. * The vomiting feeling you have may come from gastric irritation by the high dose pills taken on an empty stomach. & weakness & vertigo follows the vomiting./ May be due exaggerated pregnancy symptoms OR unaffected tubal pregnancy. ** In all you do need an urgent consultation of a gynecologist. Get examined/ USG scanning will help in confirming her findings & diagnosis. This will follow specific management for the diagnosis. Thanks, |

sir,im 30yr old dentist n i have chronic pain in d5 d6 vertebrae region since last one month. my doctor say that in mri the discs are dehydrated in this region.anything worrying about this? my email add. YYYY@YYYY | Hello Doctor, I think the problem you are experiencing is from your body position during your work. You may lean forward or work on the side of the patient and this position cases muscle pain and spasm and other soft tissues such as ligaments of the spine may be inflated.I suggest you to start some physical therapy, manage, swimming and posture exercise. You need to book up your core muscles and I the pain will go away. |
a few days ago I was impacted with a hard object just under, right in between my breasts. (esophagus?) the next day and since (on my 4th day) I have had the chills (under blankets in +30 weather doesn t seem right) low energy, headaches, back and neck pain etc. I am 52 yrs old, female, 5.2 , 135 lbs. Should I be concerned I damaged something which would be causing this or would your guess be just a flu bug at the same time. Coincidence? No vomiting but no appetite. No blood in stool. | Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Yes, possibility of flu infection coinciding with chest trauma is more in your case. But better to rule out internal lung injury because you are having low energy, headache, back and neck pain etc. So get done chest x-ray to rule out lung contusions, pneumothorax etc. If chest x-ray is normal then no need to worry about lung injury. Take antihistamine and anti-inflammatory Chat Doctor. |
HI At my last appointment with my heart specialist the doctor increased my dose of Carvidilol (Coureg) to 12.5mg twice per day in the hope that this would decrease the chances of an AFIB event, in fact he said I can eat anything now. Unfortunately over Christmas I had two or three AFIB events each of which subsided after a few hours and where my pulse fortunately never reached over 124 ppm ( at least when I checked it ). The reason for the events was probably due to over indulgence in foods that may have had higher levels of sodium chloride at the same time as drinking a lot of wine and on one occasion brandy. On a normal day my pulse is 49 to 52 in the morning and seldom gets above 65 even after some fairly heavy physical activity. It does go up to mid to high 60 s if I have two or three glasses of wine. Normally of course I am on a very low salt diet as my wife and I make almost everything from scratch ourselves without adding sodium chloride. The reason I am writing is that early March we are traveling to Australia for a month followed by a month cruising back to the US. I don t know whether I will be able to get low or no salt food on board the ship. I m wondering whether an even higher dose of coureg might be advisable during the trip to counter the unknown levels of salt I will encounter on the voyage. Thanx Keith Jones | Hello, Your dosage or Carvedilol is optimum and increasing it at present is not justified as you already have low borderline pulse (50) at rest and increasing the dose may bring it more low which would cause fatigue and weakness on routine activity. Mostly you would be able to tolerate normal salt in cooking. Just avoid breads, bakery products and preserved food as they have higher salt content. Avoid Bing Chat Doctor. If you have an Atrial fibrillation episode, taking a higher dose e.g. 25 mg max of carvedilol single dose, would be ok. But taking on routine basis is not a good idea. Also discuss the need for anticoagulation with your doctor on next visit. Regards |
Hi, for the past couple of nights my chest area ha really ached. My rib area aches and the ribs halfway down the rib cage hurt to touch. Also I thought I was getting indegastion but what felt like my heart just had a massive pain go through it. Like someone was squeezing it. It only lasted for a couple of seconds - I have had this feeling before but felt it was time to find out whats going on. Also noticed tony veins on my rib area earlier - dont know if its related. | Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. In my opinion, you should definitely rule out heart diseases first because your chest pain is on left sided and more in night. So get done ECG, 2d echo and stress test (trade mill test). If all these are normal then no need to worry about heart diseases. Sometimes musculoskeletal pain can be the cause. So avoid movements causing. Apply warm water pad on affected areas. Take simple painkiller like paracetamol or ibuprofen. 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. |
Hi, my dauther (8 months, 6.5kg, birthwt - 2.8kg) was suffring from some viral disease(vomating, fever and lose motions) and was having stomuch pain. blood urine and stool culture was done along with routine and CBC. Her WBC count was high along with Lymphocites - wbc- 18700 - 16500 - 18300 - 15500 in last 18 days, and lymphocites were 70 - 75- 79 - 81. she was on oral antibiotics for 5 days, than 3 days taxim 375mg BD (IV) and than Ceftrixone 650mg OD(IV) for 3days and than Ceftrixone 650mg OD(IV) + Amikacine 95mg (IV) by infusion machine for 5 days. Now she is discharged but again from last 2 days she is having fever around 100.5 - 101F, when ever she gets up after asleep. This fever goes down normally in 1-1.5 hours. Can you suggest me what to do. She was admitted in a very big and known Hospital in Bangalore for 4 days, but no one out of 4 doctors (consultants) identified the disease. | Good afternoon.!! I understand that you are going through tough time. This episode of fever from last two days could be due to a fresh infection all together or recurrence of the previous problem. Avoid pollution / smoke / bottle feeding and maintain good ventilation at your home. The weight of your child is ok for her age, so it's not a chronic process. So if persisting, it's better to visit pediatric infectious disease specialist for further evaluation and management. Thank you, have a nice day.!!! |
Hi, Lately i have had som odd symptoms. I feel my heartrate has been more irregulare lately. Also i have had alot os muscle twitches. They kan be big or small, from one to a prolonged twitching. I have also felt creeping in my skin, usally going from my neck to my head. Sometimes other places. I have also felt inner tremors at night. I usally wake upp i the middle of the night feeling vibrations coming from inside my body. Usally the chest area and armes. My puls feels normal though. I have had these symptoms ( exept for the tremors) before but alot these last weeks. I also hade rashes before but nothing like that lately. I have felt som anxiety about my university applikation and my fathers death this year. I have thought it might be psychological but ime scared it might be something else. I havent seen a doctor about it yet. I saw a doctor about the rashes before and they said it might be som sort of allergic reaction. What could these symptoms be related to do you think and what can i do about it? | Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. In my opinion, you're all symptoms are mostly due to stress and anxiety. But better to first rule out heart related diseases like arrhythmia (rhythm disturbances in heart) as this can cause similar symptoms. So get done ECG, 2d echo and Holder monitoring (24 hours continuous recording of ECG). If all these are normal then no need to worry about arrhythmia and other heart diseases. Possibility of stress and anxiety is more in your case. So better to consult psychiatrist and get done counselling sessions. Try to identify stressor in your life and start working on its solution. You may need anxiolytic and other supportive Chat Doctor. Don't worry, you will be alright with all these. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health.

But after that i controlled it. Please give some suggestion to increase fat , weight and healthy sparm. | Degree understand your concerns went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. You are misguided about the facts about masturbation. Masturbation is natural and is a normal activity. Semen is a waste product and is supposed to be ejected. You don't lose your strength by masturbation. It is a jinx. You are loosing your health not because of past masturbation but because of anxiety about it and obsession about it. Lead a healthy lifestyle, eat nutritious food and stop worrying, and you will gain weight. Please do not worry. For psychological and sexological counseling visit http |

Hi Dr Sunil.My name is Doris. Ive had bilateral x-rays done on both of my hips. I have small collar osteophytes on both hips. Ive been to PT since the middle of Sept. But now the pain is worse. I have the pain bad when I sit down and try to get up, or try to get out of the car. I feel so crippled. Ive been using stop pain...I rolled it all over the thigh and hip area. I had this for well over a year. What is the next step? | Hi, thanks for writing to Chat Doctor. As per your description, you have mild arthritic changes in your hips producing the symptomatology. The initial measures for hip arthritis is always conservative by the following means-* ACTIVITY MODIFICATION -It is important to maintain as much activity and joint motion as possible, but impact activities will aggravate arthritis. Running and jumping will often accelerate cartilage loss from the joint. The key is to focus on low impact activities, such as swimming or cycling. These are the best forms of exercise with arthritic hips as they do not require significant weight-bearing across the hip joints.* WEIGHT LOSS - Significant weight loss for obese patients can make a Chat Doctor. * NON-STEROIDAL ANTI-INFLAMMATORY |
my father is suffering from Kidney damage.. he is having excess of Ca & Ph in blood .. can a dialysis be avoided using medication? He was having hemoglobin at 6 when admitted to hospital but after giving Espogen , Iron IVs, it has improved.. but the BUN and Calcium and Phosphorus is not being cleared... His legs are paining a lot and its difficult for him to walk.. | Hello, welcome to Chat Doctor. You need to specifically tell the values of blood Ca and Phosphorus. If blood creatinine and BUN are high your father will definitely need dialysis. If the levels are marginally high they can be brought down to normal levels with help of medicines. But overall blood levels are the deciding factors. It would be advisable to undergo dialysis if the levels are high as they can be toxic for health if retained for long time in excess. Wish your father good health. |
I have shingles. I ve had it for about 10 days and the original rash is clearing up...it s getting brown, as I was told it would. I had a lot of pain on my left side from under my breast to my waist. I thought my rib was broken. it was very painful. I got medicine (valacycloir) on Saturday1/20/18 from quick-care. I went to my GP yesterday and my shoulder blade was very sore, like it needed a chiropractic adjustment. It even hurts under my arm. It is on the RIGHT SIDE. My GP said it couldn t be shingles because it stays to one side of the body. But, today I went to the Chiro to adjust it and it continued to hurt. He said it WAS SHINGLES. AND EVEN IF IT IS ON THE OTHER SIDE...he has seen it plenty of times....it can come out on both sides. What do you think? What an illness. It s very painful and unpredictable!! | Hello, Thanks for your query on Chat Doctor\"As\"per your clinical history is concerned please follow like this -1)If confirmed clinically then discuss with your Doctor about [Capsaicin cream, codeine, lidocaine spray]for relief of pain.2)Do complete your course of antiviral [val acyclovir]as prescribed by your Doctor with oral [corticosteroids]. For prevention discuss with your Doctor about shingles vaccine and in future it will protect against complications. Hope that helps |
Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ? Please type your query here... I hav an 8yr old girl who hasnt been well for over5weeks now she has had two courses of anitboitics she seems to be suffering from tummy pains stiffness of limbs tempure and a genril low feeling any ideals | Hi, From what you said, she is suffering for fever, body stiffness and abdominal pain, for over one month. She had already received two courses of antibiotics. Although the details given are not sufficient for a firm conclusion, if I were your treating doctor, after a thorough physical examination to look for pallor, lymph node enlargement, enlarged liver/spleen and abdominal tenderness, I would have ordered few tests like blood count with ESR, urine routine, serum Tidal and a peripheral smear and proceed further accordingly. Your doctor will guide you. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further. |
I had a cyst that became a chlyson (sp?) I saw one dr who said to apply heat. I refused tobradex because I get fever blisters. It went away after 4 weeks - well it went down to a small cyst from a large, red bump. But now it is growing again. I applied heat -- anything else to do? | Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You should search the cause of cyst. Which kind of cyst is there. Then you should take treatment accordingly. You should go for fine needle aspiration cytology. It will give you exact diagnosis. Then you should take treatment according to diagnosis. Surgical excision is the treatment of choice for most of the benign cyst. 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 have neuropathy caused by the medication Prograf, an anti rejection medication that I take, as I had a lung transplant in 2006. Unfortunately I have extreme burning in my legs and feet, and tolerable burning in my arms, and my face sometimes... the Gabapentin I take does not really help a lot, I take 400mg 3 times a day. Is there something else I could do or take to alleviate this discomfort. | You need to understand the human body metabolic activity as it will be of always a different in nature. Kindly focus on doing regular free exercises under a recommended physical therapist which will help u a lot. U already said something about long transplant so need to be slow as the balance between the all systems needs to be performed by slow exercise. Too much of medication will not solve your problems. |
My son (12 yrs) has been dealing with neck and back pain for about three years. We saw a pediatrict orthopediac about a year and a half ago and all he did was treat with Ibuprofen for six weeks and tell us it would go away. That was looking at x-rays that showed something in his neck area that was infection or inflamation and the disc was tilted. So then we went back to his pediatrician who recommended chiropractor. After 6 months his pain has not improved but now has moved totally down the back and he is now complaining of leg pain. | Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor, Understand your concern and sympathize with your child, he must be bearing pain for so long. Sounds to me like that your child is suffering from cervical spondylitis which is a chronic problem and is hard to respond to medical therapy. As you would have experienced, the pain decreases only for a short duration when on treatment. If I were your pediatrician, I would advise you to consult a good physiotherapist and have a long term therapy with them. That along with medications are known to be of great help. Please continue followup with orthopedic also. Hope child gets well soon. Take care. |
Hi im getting a pain in the left side of my chest and upper back it feels like a pain in my heart.pain gets worse when couging or breathing in.it only came on me this morning im a 26 year old male and smoke 20 a day.g had this pain 2 months ago when i had a cold but went away. | Hi. I can understand your concern. Ideally ECG and 2d echo should be done first in your case. If both are normal than no need to worry about heart diseases. It would also be advisable for you to get a chest x-ray done. If it is normal then get a PFT done which will tell us how much your lungs are functioning and what is the effect of smoking on them. Consult a pulmonologist for the same. STOP SMOKING before it causes more harm to you.Don't worry, you will be alright. Hope I have solved your query. Wish you good health. Thanks. |
I was very afraid to brain because i was missing the brain memory day by day i do know these problem start minimum one month. How to solve? | HelloWelcome to Chat Doctor first you must mention your age, as in old age we expect memory loss due to senile changes. Consult neurologist to find the cause & get it treated. There can be many reasons for decreased memory, over stress, lack of proper sleep, over expectation, poor non-nutritious diet. So first have sound sleep, discuss things with your friend, topic discussed is more remembered than just read. Also look for hemoglobin. Start iron & vitamin supplements. Wish you speedy recoveryDisclaimer |
Hi Doctor, Currently I am suffering from a swalloen lymph node on right side of my neck for 1 month. It has grown rapidly in size in 4-5 days and remained in that position. I have taken azithromycin and methylprednisolone to decrease the swelling but it did not worked. Done ultrasound and it shows 3/3.5 centimeter large node. No other swelling in neck or throat. Thyroid is normal in ultrasound. But i the blood work thyroid was 6.83 ( TSH ) in the first test, and in the second test it was 3.07. Blood count is also normal. No weight loss in 1 month. Now i have been advised to take clindamycin hcl 300 mg capsules thrice a day. But from yesternight I am feeling feverish and body aches. Could you suggest if there is any posibilty of cancer in my body? I have also scheduled a CAT scan in coming tuesday. Please suggest as I am very worried about cancer and I am only 28 years old. | 3.5Cm enlarge node, unilateral is somewhat significant adenopathy. Head and neck Cancer with adenopathy neck may some time present with unknown primary disease. I should suggest that go for FNAC of node that gives exact clue whether it has spread cancer from some head and neck primary cancer. Also it gives clue whether it is due to some infective reactor changes. Squamous cell cancer is found 90% case if its cancer. I also suggest having direct laryngeal examination get done. |
I might be having surgery for Arnold chiari malformation and I am meeting with the neurosurgeon again today and I am just looking to see if there are any specific questions I should be asking, there isn t much study on the matter and I am more confused every minute. | Hi, I have gone through your question and understand your concerns. Arnold-Chiari malformation if symptomatic, is treated by surgery. Surgery consists on decompression of posterior fossa, i.e. removing a part of bone in your back part of your head, cutting and releasing outer and, in certain cases, middle coverings of the brain (aura and arachnoid), putting a graft on it, relieving in this manner cerebellum (small brain) and brain stem. It is a brain surgery and these types of operations carry risks also. Risks include cerebrospinal fluid leakage, wound infection, recurring of Arnold-Chiari malformation, rarely brain structures damage. Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow-up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions. |
respected sir i am looking for the treatment for anemia cause i have a habit of masturbation due to over performing it i gets very weak i am doing this since 10years of age now i am 27 years old could not able to do thing just normal person do thats why i am finding a right doctorwho know my problem and give full treatment and make my life and career keep going .my mobile 0000 .type of problem. anemia blood deficiency .requirements. anemia | Hi, Thanks for asking. Based on your query, my opinion is as follows.1. Need hemoglobin levels and complete hologram to identify specific deficiency.2. If MCV is high, possible it B12 deficiency.3. Low MCV would suggest iron deficiency. Correction of hemoglobin to at least 15g% is necessary. Followup with reticulocyte count after 15 days of starting treatment would show increase in reticulocyte percentage. Start immediately on it B12 and iron therapy.4. If masturbation is affecting routine life, then you will require counseling. Hope it helps. Any further queries, happy to help again. |
I always feel like I have to vomit but can t. It is very rare that I actually throw up. Sometimes when I eat spicy aciddy foods it result in me having that vomitting feelin again. I also get pain in my chest/ stomach a lot it s an intense throbbing pain and sometimes may burn .

If so it might be a periodontal disease with pocket formation. Are you under stress? Coz you have mentioned you have sores too. If no deposits and oral hygiene is good then it might be due to it C deficiency. Whatever I would suggest you to visit your dentist for further treatment. |
When visiting my children in Crested Butte CO. I get sick during the stay. I am 65 and have eosinophilia and some swallowing disorders occasionally. I do very well at home but could the high altitude be affecting my system there? It seems like some part of a 4-6 day stay I am ill with vomiting or dirahrea and have difficulty swallowing my vitamins . | Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor. Since you have swallowing difficulty, you need evaluation with an upper GI endoscopy as the reason could be an obstruction due to growth in the food pipe. Sometimes it may be due to motility disorder which affects the contraction of the food pipe. Esophageal manometry has to be done to rule this out. Since you have eosinophil also, eosinophilic esophagitis is another possibility (though it is more common in child Chat Doctor. Discuss with your doctor about these possibilities and the tests. |

I had a liver transplant 31 yrs. ago with no problems until two years ago when doctors, whom I ve been seeing on a regular basis, diagnosed me with reoccurring cirrhosis . I was on methadone for twenty years when a changed over to suboxone five years ago. I currently take cyclosporine, lumidivine, and the suboxone.

Thank you!! P.s I don t drink and hepatitis B has been negitive with the Lumidivine. | Hello, Hepatotoxicity is poorly documented with the use of Suboxone (Buprenorphine HCL & Naloxone HCL) in prescribed dosage by a doctor. Suboxone's abuse causes liver damage. Suboxone needs to be with Chat Doctor. You ought to inform your treating doctor & get a follow-up physical examination & investigations done before stopping any medicine. Lamivudine (used to treat Hepatitis B) is a very rare cause of clinically apparent |

Doctors advised to do few tests and reports are here... SALMONELLA TYPHI O SALMONELLA TYPHI H SALMONELLA PARATYPHI AH SALMONELLA PARATYPHI BH | Hi, Thank you for your query on Chat Doctor. You need a complete physical examination by a physician followed by investigations to know the cause for frequent sickness. The type of investigations depends on your symptoms.

depression is serious and my sister goes through this very often. concerned her second husband (first one died) makes them have less money as he pays for her ins of car of 400 dollars a month. She goes to places to get free food. He will not listen. Daughter going to college in another state. Claimed herself on her income tax and only cares on what people do for her and hates my sister. afraid for my sister as she has mental problems already and in the 90 s attempted suicide. I live up north and she is in Florida. Hard to not worry. Hard to let go. | Hello and thanks for writing in. I understand your concern for your sister. From your description of her current situation, it appears that her depression is mainly due to her family problems and other personal stressors. Stress is well known to cause or worsen depression. Her situation is concerning because you have mentioned that she has already gone through a severe depressive phase and even attempted suicide before. So, it is very important that she gets appropriate and prompt help for her depression. I think that she would benefit a lot from counselling, which should be focused at supportive psychotherapy, coping skills and stress management. Antidepressants may also be necessary if the depression is severe. So, I would advise you to please take her to a psychiatrist for further help and treatment. |
I want to know if ranitidine is good for high blood pressure treatment? My mom has high blood pressure but tabletes like captropril cause headache and nausa, but she face to none of these side effcets when using raninitine ( of course she take ranitidine for stomachache). Many thanks | Hello dear, and thanks for posting your query here. Ranitidine is not for high BP, It's for acidity that's why your mother is feeling better with this tablet for her headache and nausea. But is she has high BP, then she must take some medicine for lowering it. For this, please see your doctor for some BP lowering medicine other than captopril. I hope this information would be of help to you. Thanks and all the best. |

My husband is 50 years old about 1.8 in height, weight about 100 kilos and has a history of angina, blood cancer treated successfully about a month and a half ago. Two days ago he discovered a hard ball under his testicals. Was sore when he closed his legs but the pain disappeared. | Hi and welcome to Chat Doctor. I understand your concerns and I will try to help you as much as I can. Most such lumps are benign and may be just a cyst or lipoma. However, it would be good to do ultrasound to rule some more serious diseases out. Masturbation and intercourse should be avoided till pain persist, if possible since I may prolong inflammation course. Some more serious conditions such as tumors or torsion are rare but in doubtful cases you should do Doppler ultrasound or scenography. I hope I have answered you query. If you have any further questions you can contact us in every time. Kindly regards. Wish you a good health. |
I had my dentures relined yesterday,they were done straight away with a soft acrylic paste and put in my mouth,after leaving the dentists i started to get a bad burning sensation and sore throat ,went back to dentist he said it was a gum irratation and it would go away,i cannot wear my dentures,mouth hurts throat sore.Will this go.He said i may have an allergy to acrylic.not wore dentures since but gums still irrated 48hrs later.Any advice please | Hello. Yes u had pointed correctly it can be allergy to relining material. Reliner contains monomer which causes sore throat and burning sensation. And it will take approx 7-15days to completely heal. If a cold refiner was used and u gets the same symptom again on wearing denture after 7 days then it is allergy to other contents of the relining material. And that refiner needs to be replaced. Meanwhile u can use analgesic, anesthetic mouthwash for relief...and take some antiallergics. A denture is usually made of acrylic. Heat cure mostly and u were using denture earlier so you are not allergic to heat cure acrylic/ acrylic itself. U can get a new denture fabricated or ask your dentist for relining by heat cure acrylic. Remember in cold cure relining material unused monomers causes adverse chemical reaction on mucosa sometimes. So u should always avoid this type of relining or rebasing in the future. |
Hi, this is Ravi from Gandhidham, Gujarat, recently my moms hernia surgery done dtd 10/06/2011, after four days some liquid leakage is started, now mom is under treatment.

I am Chat Doctor answering your concern. Leakage of fluids can be possible after a week or so. Leakage after this time is abnormal. It requires a treatment. I suggest you to do culture and sensitivity from the fluid coming out. If it is infected than appropriate antibiotics as per the report will cure you.

Please maintain good hygiene locally, you can do it by frequent cleaning and Chat Doctor. This will equally important as taking |
I am 30 years old trying to conceive 14 mos. I have regular periods every 28 to 30 days. I started metformin 500 mg bid 4 days ago. Today i am very nauseated, diarrhea this am , and i am having spotting. I just had lmp 8/20/10. I have never done this before . any ideas as to what may be going on | Hi there, The nausea and the diarrhea you are experiencing must be due to the metformin. Metformin is known to cause side effects especially in the initial few days of use. Metformin is usually given in women with PCs problems, if you are having the same then you will require ovulation induction by Camphene and/or injectable HMG to get pregnant. But first you need to be completely evaluated for any other problems of infertility, your hormone levels, tubal function need to be checked, so also your partners' semen analysis as well. Your overall health including any previous illness, diabetes, thyroid problems need to be ruled out. I would also advise you to take Folic acid if not already started. Hope this helps. Regards. |
Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ? Please type your query Hi, My son is now 9months..he is having cough, cold (running nose) vomiting due to cough (I guess) and loose motions I went to see doctor he prescribed medications but no improvement. we used medication for 3 days. please advise as I am greaatly worried | Hi, If he is not having fever now, I think you need not worry, it is probably a viral respiratory infection which will get better in 5-7 days. I am not aware of the medications you already got. For such cases, I used to give antihistamine like levocetirizine and bronchodilators like albuterol to help cold and cough. If not getting better in 3 more days, or if the child is lethargic and not taking feeds as usual, kindly get back to your doctor as we may need addition or changing of antibiotics and nebulization. Give ORS solution or salted rice water after each episode of diarrhea. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further. |
My daughter is 17 months and has eaten barely anything the past 8 days (usually a very good eater) and is sleeping 15-16 hours day. Two nights she had a fever and also has a runny nose and recently started coughing. She has also had two almost black poops the last few days. Any suggestions? | Your concern of not eating can be due to present infective process when appetite is reduced in all. So also the excessive sleeping is part of tired less from cold and fear. As she has coughing also a chest infection and antibiotic will be needed. I would check Blood RE and X-ray chest if needed and start appropriate antibiotic. By black poops did you mean black potty/stools ? Which could be color of the medication if you are giving any or minor abrasion in the anus that comes as motion is likely to be hard as she is not eating and Chat Doctor. You can discuss with your doctor for guidance. Regards |
I have hypertension. I have been taking amlodipine/benazepril (Lotrel) for years. This year my insurance changed, and this medications cost jumped up high. So my doctor changed it to amlodipine besylate 5mg tab and losartan potassium 50mg tab separately to reduce the cost.My question | Hi, There is not much difference in two treatment regimens. In second regimen amlodipine is continued separately and benazepril is replaced by locating. Though Benadryl (Angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor) and losartan(Angiotensin receptor blocker) are of different classes, but mode of action, potency in reducing blood pressure, effects on kidney are almost same. Safety profile of two regimens is also same. Other important factors that may help you - 1) Salt restricted diet. 2) Intake of fruits and green leafy vegetables. 3) Regular checking of blood pressure, lipid profile, blood sugar levels and keep them under control. |
I am a 36 year old female with an ESR of 35. It was higher about two month ago with fevers and headaches. I was put on steroids and antibiotics. I went back about 1 month and it was 50 and now to date it is 35. My doctor is telling me that it is stress related. Is that even possible? | Welcome to Chat Doctor. I am Chat Doctor. Dear friend Since ESR is a non-specific marker of inflammation and is affected by other factors, the results must be used along with other clinical findings. Moderately elevated ESR occurs with inflammation but also with anemia, infection, pregnancy, and with aging. Your doctor is correct that High ESR can be related to stress also. I advise you to live a stress-free life with help of yoga and meditation. Repeat your E.S.R witChatDoctorplete blood count to rule out anemia(a cause of increased E.S.R.) Thanx for query. |

The sonographer couldn t tell me what it possibly meant because she wasn t trained in that field but obviously I am very worried. She mentioned genetic disorders of which the Amnio tested the major 3 and I got the all clear. What other genetic disorders could this dipict. | Hi, Detection of a small head, that is size of head smaller than expected for that fetus could mean a lot of things and sometimes could just be an incidental finding. I would like to ask you if you have had any fever or infection in this pregnancy as some viral infection can also cause this microcephaly (small head). Since you have already had the amniocentesis which has confirmed that you don't have any genetic syn Chat Doctor. Get blood investigations done to see for viral infections, as apart from microcephaly these viral infections and also cause other growth problems in fetus. Hope this helps. Regards. |
