i sprayed my shower stall ceiling to floor with triple concentrated bleach then covered the tub floor with a cleaner like comet. i added a little water and began scrubbing it. my eyes started tearing up severely, i wiped eyes, and went back to scrubbing, the smell was horrendously strong and my breathing was compromised. i took my head out of shower stall for a moment and again wiped eyes that i could hardly keep open by now. continued to scrub with face about 1 foot from the tub, with shower doors closed. it got to a point i could not keep eyes open and the tearing was pouring down my face. i couldn t breath, couldn t really stand up now, so crawled out of bathroom and shut the doors, in a short while. the tearing stopped but my thoat was tight and so very sore and burnig, i had wheezing when breathing. i began coughing and coughing for hours on end. i took benedryl and finally got some sleep, but now when i am awke, my lungs hurt when breathing, my whole body is sore and painful. is there a lasting results to what i did? thank you | Thanks for your question in my opinion you should visit a Pulmonologist and get yourself evaluated as chemicals cause pneumonitis in early and delayed formPulmonologist may request for a chest X-ray to see if there is any urgent intervention required or motif these symptoms persist and chest X-ray has changes your Pulmonologist may prescribe you low dose of corticosteroids for a short period to counter the inflammatory process, or he may add leukotreine inhibitors for the samethanksfeel free to ask more questions |

You can take Melba for this acute episode of panic, but not long term. How long and well is your B12 deficiency treated? What are rechecked levels? Are you still on vitamin supplements?

I hope you are fully satisfied with the guidance I gave. I would be glad to answer any further queries. Thank you and Good luck ! |

Hello, my 6 yr. old son woke up with a bad headache, med.-high fever; red eyes, and crying. I gave him childrens advil and now was just wondering if I should be doing more, and when should I take him to his pediatrition? He never gets sick, matter of fact its the first time he s been sick since school started in Sept. | 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. Regards - |
hi,i have dog bite 2 days back. I have started Rabipur vaccination for it today, is it okay.Just asking because all say to start immediately, but its almost 2 days now, any i just got injected. is the safe time gone and im going to die because of rabies...???Plz help | Hello, Welcome to ChatDoctorRabies is a disease which is 100% fatal, but it is 100% preventable with proper and adequate treatment. Adequate treatment means wound wash, antirabies vaccines and rabies immunoglobulins. At least you have started the treatment 2 days after the bite, chance of getting rabies will be less, I would suggest you to observe the biting dog for at least 10 days.Meanwhile you need to take all the 5 doses of antirabies vaccines on to the deltoid on days 0, 3, 7, 14 and 28 days. Hope you got the answer for your query. Thank you |
I have a small knot behind my left knee accompanied by a small bruise. It is soar to the touch and tender when I bend my knee...but it does reside in the bend of the knee. Otherwise, no soreness, redness or fever in the leg/knee. I may have I injured it but dont recall how or when. What could it be if not an injury? | Hello, Thank you for using Chat Doctor. I read your question and understood your concern. This could be a Baker Cyst filled with fluid from your knee due to some overuse activity you may have or arthritis. You need to do an ultrasound examination of the soft tissues of the knee and take non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medication, rest, ice therapy and keep the leg elevated for few days. If your complaints still persist after 2 weeks than you should do an MRI of the knee wish you quick recovery. |
I was diagnosed with a kidney Stone. At the time i had an enlarged spleen and an ovarian cyst. i have a lot of pain on my right lower side. Ive been on antibiotics for 9 days. Im afraid my spleen could have burst. What else are the possibilities. Could the Cyst be causing the pain? | Hi thanks for asking question. Spleen usually causing pain on left side. For its study USG abdomen can be done Here you gave right side lower pain. It could be by ovarian cyst. Hormonal pill can be tried for its treatment. Cyst might bleed or ruptured causing pain by peritonitis .USG useful for it. Noted this region pain could also be by appendicitis ...USG done for it. If abdominal pain and diarrhea present then colitis like condition can lead pain. Lastly if fever present and pain radiating to back with painful urination then pyelonephritis like kidney condition also has to be ruled out. Take care... Wish you good health. Chat Doctor. |

My mom aspirated & had to be recessitated. Docs said she was out for 8-15 minutes. (2 different docs each say different times) She has 2 CT scans done and they eacChatDoctore back negative for any bleeding, swelling or a stroke. She s been on a vent for 6 days now. All vital signs are normal. BP is normal. Doctors say she s using the vent at minimal settings. But she is not showing signs of improvement such as foowing basic commands. She has been diagnosed with encepalopathy. What are the chances she will wake up from this? | Hello, I have gone through your question and understand your concern. If your mother experienced cessation of cerebral blood flow, it is very probable that she suffered cerebral ischemia as well. The CT scans should have revealed if such eventuality. Still, MRI is the best exam to rule out any cerebral damage. This can be done once she is out of mechanical ventilation. If there is no cerebral damage I would expect conscience recovery, still no one can tell to what degree. Hope this answers your questions, please feel free for any further questions. Wishing your mother fast recovery |
I just turned 43, had a tubal (tubes cut and tied) when I was 22yrs old, never missed a period until now (15 days late) my abdominal is growing, a week ago I felt dizzy, faint, nuasea, have been experiencing breast enlargement, weight gain even though I exercise and sharp needle sensations, at time, under my pelvic area, basically feeling like I m pregnant, could this be possible? | Hello, as you have mentioned if the tubes are CUT and tied it is unlikely to recanalize the tubes. There are instances where tubes are recanalized. But that has happened mostly after tubes are only ligated without cutting. But there are instances where healthy pregnancies have happened after tubes are cut ligated and burnt. Best thing would be to do a urine Chat Doctor test. If it is negative, repeat the test and an ultrasound scan in another 2 weeks. If it is also negative what I can say is it may be a premature menopause with premenopausal symptoms or a case of dysfunctional uterine bleeding. Hope this helps.thank you |
blob on ct scan lower lunghi, im 37 yrs old weight roughly 172.( havent lost the baby weight ) 55. had a ct scan with contrast done for kidney stones and was told I need to call my family dr. about a blob that was seen on lower right lung. should I be worried? | Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your situation and problem. Since you are not having any respiratory symptoms, no need to worry much for CT scan report. Blob like thing in your CT scan report can be due to any of the following. 1. Simple benign lung cyst. 2. Sequestration of right lower lobe. 3. Fibrosis or absent right lower lobe etc. All these are benign conditions and thus no symptoms are experienced. As they are harmless to the body, no treatment is required. Lung biopsy is needed for confirmation of the blob. |
I am 17 years old. I have been getting pain by my molar and premolar. Its also my sensitive teeth. The pain is worse at night. A month or so ago, I went for an x ray for my wisdoms and they are impacted so Dr said I have to wear my retainers every night. The roots of wisdoms are not yet out. But the pain is severe that I cant wear my retainers. What should I do? My teeth are sensitive to cold and heat. Its only on my right side. | Hi, As per your queries, it seems that pain in between molar and premolar teeth along with sensitivity that is more at night seems to be decay in either your molar or premolar tooth over the wall of tooth that lies in contact with the adjacent tooth. Such decay is not visible and is a common cause for pain in tooth due to deep decay. Sensitivity to hot and cold is also due to it. It does not seem to be due to wisdom tooth. I would suggest you to consult a Dentist and get evaluated and a thorough clinical evaluation and investigation like x-ray will be done. In case of deep decay you will be advised root canal treatment of tooth followed by a course of antibiotics and painkillers. It will be followed by capping of the tooth. As of now take anti-inflammatory painkillers like Ibuprofen for pain and apply desensitizing toothpaste over the tooth. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. |
Have a sever lower back pain on my left. It initially started with the stomach on my left side. It is accompanied by feverishness and fatigue. Sometimes I have headache and blurred vision. Have undergone two endoscopy sessions plus a CT scan and all the blood and urine tests done. yet the doctors seem not to get anything. I have an appointment to see the urologist. I don t know what to expect. The pain is unbearable especially with lying positions which put a little pressure on my left. Pls help me out. | Dear sir/ Madam, Thank you for posting your query at Chat Doctor.come advice you to consult urologist and see if there is kidney stone. Kidney stone is very painful and mistaken as back pain. If there is any kidney stone or other stone, urologist will treat you appropriately. Chat Doctor. If not, consult orthopedic doctor who will advise you to get MRI done to suggest you the treatment. Some time the prolapse disc (of spine) pain hamper the activities of daily living. Rest is highly recommended. In both cases, simple anti-inflammatory (SOS) and hot pack at painful area will help till you see the doctor. Please have an appointment with both the doctors and rule out the underlying cause and start the treatment. If the pain is unbearable, go to emergency room and available doctor will examine and route you to the required specialist. Please revert if you need any further advice. With best wishes, |
Hi there, Im looking for some guidance and advice, basically it started a year ago in April, I was feeling ok then had a feeling of indigestion, but it wasnt that as I hadnt eaten, this then evolved into pain on my right side, this was pelvic pain lower than my belly button but more to the right, I was vomiting and unable to stand, dizzy and felt spaced out - following advice I was taken to hospital, the doctor suspected a UTI, and gave me an injection, by this point I was in immense pain and rolling about a and e ... the doctor admitted me to triage - surgery ward with suspected appendicitis, a few days as Nill by mouth on a drip the pain died down and was bearable without pain relief. Since then 3 more of these episodes have happened exactly the same symptoms and onset of this and Ive had to be hospitalised until I am better. On each occasion a different doctor gives a different diagnosis, appendicitis and one suggested I must learn to live with the pain as all my tests are normal. I have had 3 ultrasounds that have came back normal, one showed a femoral hernia, however there is no pain in the groin and the surgeon assumes its a red herinh. I have had internal scans for ovarian cysts and endometriosis, these have came back clear. Recently, I went to hospital following online advice when a bowel movement contained an orange grease like substance, this was present with and without stools for 3 days. I have also recently had severe constipation and bloating which I have never had before, Im having a lot of pain on my right pelvic side and this is at any level of movement, it is especially sore whilst I urinate or pass stools. Any information or guidance would be great. Just wondering if theres something thats being missed. | Hello! Thank you for the query. Your symptoms should force surgeon to perform appendectomy. Even if the appendix will occur healthy, this will finally rule this out. This is the first thing which should be done as your symptoms along with right lower abdominal pain are enough to remove appendix. Antibiotics can cure some part of appendicitis, but it can come back. And when it does, should be removed. I suggest you to consult a surgeon, ask him to do diagnostic laparoscopy with appendectomy. Other thing is your hernia. Please not the hernia is the most common reason of bowels obstruction. So if this hernia is on the right side, it should be fixed. Hope this will help. Regards. |
Yes, thank you. My sister lives with high stress levels everyday and has a dry cough throughout the day and then she ends up vomiting at the end of the day. Her stomach is always in pain. What is she dealing with and what can she do resolve these symptoms? She cant sleep throughout the night and has trouble falling asleep too. She is in her mid 50s and has already gone through menopause. | Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your sisters situation and problem. She is mostly having stress induced HERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease). It is due to laxity of gastroesophageal sphincter. Because of this the acid of the stomach tends to come up in the esophagus and cause the symptoms of nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, chest pressure etc. First and foremost stress management is required. So better to consult psychiatrist and get done counseling sessions. Try to identify stressor in her life and start working on its solution. She may need anxiolytic Chat Doctor. For HERD, avoid hot and spicy food. Avoid junk food. Avoid large meals. Start proton pump inhibitors and prokinetic |

I have a rAsh under my left arm it is red and swollen has a white thick discharge and has a horrible smell no matter what I have tried to cover odor it still overpowers it the rash is severely painful to touch Have tried creams and stop using under arm spray its so bad others can smell it | Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor, From the description it seems like an infected sebaceous cyst. It is a small cyst under the skin which contains a cheesy white material. This can get infected causing pain and swelling. When it breaks it releases the white material which has a bad odor. You need to take a course of antibiotics to treat the infection and once the infection subsides the cyst should be totally excised to prevent further problems. Kindly consult a surgeon for the same. Hope this helped, Take care. |

She was told she has too much iron in her blood and they want to start removing blood from her, they also said she has a fatty liver, can you help me understand and pershaps explain things to her. I am in FL., she is in Texas. Thank you | Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. She may have hemochromatosis.

I trust the care that she is given in the hospital right now, but it helps to know these things myself. | thanks for your query can feel your concerns there are various causes of low platelet count.infection is one of thence your friend is suffering from amoebas, so most likely it is infection resulting in destruction of platelets. Her platelet count will improve as soon as her infection is treated. Other causes of low platelet count will also be ruled out by her doctor and if it is continuing to decrease, she may need a bone marrow biopsy to find cause there are no such foods to improve count and Chat Doctor. |
I have been suffering from Sexual Anhedonia and can ejaculate but feel no orgasm. It s been about 23 years. I ve been times with psychiatric meds and again without psychiatric meds and the meds seem to have no effect on causing or helping the anhedonia issue. Several therapists have placed the cause on years of constant rejection and belittlement from my wife, who accepts no responsibility in the development of the problem. I have been trying to convince myself that I deserve to enjoy sex, since I have been conditioned to believe I don t deserve to orgasm. I see you listed something called the Masters and XXXXXXX technique? I am beyond desperate for help. | Hello Sexual Macedonia or decreased libido is really a distressing problem. You can ejaculate but feel no orgasm. You have been on psychiatric medicines also. See a number of medicines used in psychiatry can cause decrease in libido and can result in orgasmic. Persisting complaints result in dysfunction in family and which further aggravate the problem. A vicious cycle is formed in which individual loses self-confidence. Commonly used medicines like Sildenafil, Tadalafil etc. help to improve erection but these medicines don't improve libido. I would advise you to increase your diet with fenugreek seeds. These have good medicinal value in decreased libido. Apart from that herbal medicines like Wanted forte and Confide can be taken to increase the libido. The medicines can be taken without prescription also and are safe to use. Get your hormonal profile done to find out any hormonal problem. Total testosterone, Free testosterone, and DHEA values are deranged in low libido cases. Hope this helps you, thanks |

Currently, I have lower stomach cramps,pain,bloating,fatigue,lighthediness,nausea,lowerback pain,,random dizziiness,more frequent urination..I was retesed for hpylori and it went away..what can this be? | You have not mentioned the duration of your symptoms. However, the symptoms do not suggest an exacerbation of a Helicobacter pylori infection. It is more suggestive of an enteric bacterial or viral infection that must have caused an infection. You should give your urine and feces for culture and sensitivity to know what this is. Please meet your physician with these results, and he should help you in taking this further. |

I fell down the stairs this morning. I landed on my shin bone. Its has been hurting since. I even had a difficult time drivin to work this morning and can not put much weight on it. However it is only red and not wry bruised or swollen. The skin is actually numb to the touch. Is this something I should be concerned about or just ice and take Advil? | This is a common problem after a trauma to the shin-bone. Though you may not see bruising there is probably bruising deep under the skin. This is a self limiting problem and will gradually go away. It may take a few weeks and don't be surprised if you do see bruising later along the foot. You can continue to treat it with Advil. Ice may also help reduce some pain. Hope I have answered your query. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help |
I have been experiancing continuous vomiting (bringing up alot of bile mostly) i cannot keep water or food down. i have no stomach pains but i do feel hot and then shivery. i am 14 weeks pregnant and have no experianced vomiting during my morning sickness/nausea | Hello, I have gone through your query and understood the concern. If you are experiencing this vomiting only now and not earlier in your pregnancy, you should see a physician to evaluate the cause. Gastric causes, hepatic and renal causes also should be excluded, blood pressure checked regularly, urinalysis should be done apart from routine fetal monitoring. Any infection should be appropriately controlled and fluid and electrolyte balance well maintained. Chat Doctor. Please take adequate rest, avoid stress, oily foods, take plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables or as suggested by your consultant. Hope you find this information useful. Wish you good health. |

If I were your treating physician I would have suggested replenishing your children salt and electrolyte deficiencies due to diarrhea. Give him intravenous fluids and keep him nothing by mouth and observe him for three days. Then I would have suggested albendazole or mebendazole 100\u00a0mg for 2 weeks to kill that parasites. For the bug in the bile duct I would have suggested doing endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography(ERCP) to remove as caries. In my opinion you should meet a gastroenterologist. Thanks. Hope the answer is helpfulness your child a healthy life |

Meanwhile you can take a course of antibiotics like amoxicillin(if you are not allergic). Once the diagnosis is confirmed the tooth can be treated with root canal treatment. I hope my answer will help you, take care. |
I have bipolar 1, but my symptoms or episodes arent the same anymore. I used to have great highs of energy and happiness. Now its depression, frustration, anxiety, irritable, sadness, hopelessness. I went to the hospital last year for suicide thoughts. They were awful. They said after 2 days and talking to me once, that I was Borderline personality disorder. That I was manipulating and it all just didnt sound like me. I always do for others first, to a fault. Anyways, they cancelled my insurance and have tried local clinics. They told me no meds, its all in my mind. That sleep is over rated. I have always had insomnia. I dont know what to do. I dont have money due to not being able to work. Can symptoms get worse with age, change, be a different diagnoses? I am at my wits end. | Hilt me assume you are indeed bipolar1 Personality Disorder can coexist but to label you of borderline personality is difficult with the information provided.

It is a matter of detailed history taking and reviewing the information from as many sources as possible. Now the effect of aging. Yes, Bipolar Disorder tend to get worse with age esp if left untreated. No, it will not change to be a different diagnosis, as they say-once a bipolar, always a bipolar.

i hurt my wrist while breakdancing about 3-4 weeks ago. I took acupuncture for about 1 week and the swollen part went away. However, when i went to the docter, he told me that i had my growth plate injured. Its been maybe a week or two since then and ive been wearing my wrist brace almost every minute. I took it off recently and tried moving it. when i bend it back,( when my finger tries touching the opposite side of my palm) i can hear small scraping noises. It feels like my bones or slidng against each other. This sound comes from when im stretching my butt muscles by putting my feet on my knee, and my knee makes a noise where the bones are sliding together. I was wondering a few things. Will i ever be able to breakdance again? If i do, will my wrist be significantly weaker? how long will it take to heal? and what is the most effective way to take care of my wrist? | Hello, It looks that your age is below 18.

Hi I recently had a ruptured cerebral aneurysm and had a coiling proceedure done. They did a spinal tap to be able to find traces of blood in my fluid. Since the spinal tap I have had lower back pain everyday and in a couple of cases my legs have almost given out on me. The spinal tap was done about 3 weeks ago now. Should I be worried about this. I have researched the internet and have found that other people have experienced this as well. | Hello. Thanks for writing to us. The spinal tap is sometimes associated with a persistent pain in the legs due to the irritation of the nerve roots at the level of spinal cord. This is a self limiting symptom and is likely to improve in next 2-3 weeks. Taking methylcobalamin supplements will help. I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.

I got new dentures a few months back since then I have this salty taste in my mouth and throat..it even make my mouth feel stickey. What is the cause. I have been to the dr to check if its the meds I use. I have been to a throat nose and mouth specialist and he could not understand what is causing it. | Hi Dear, Understanding your concern. As you describe in your query that you have metallic taste in your mouth which could be due to dentures as material used in making dentures can sometimes cause these symptoms. Other factors are medicines like antibiotics and medicines used for blood pressure control, gum problems like gingivitis and periodontitis, poor oral hygiene and cold and sinusitis. I would suggest you to chew on sugar-free gum and candies to stimulate salivary flow. The taste of the mouth will get to the normal as soon as we remove the causative factor. Visit oral physician once and get denture examined completely and start treatment accordingly. For now eat fresh fruits and chew hard peppermint candy. Hope your concern had been resolved. Best Wishes, |

In your case, it could be a result of prednisolone with Chat Doctor. I hope your asthma is well controlled because inadequately controlled asthma can also cause excessive weakness. If above issues are not the reason you should take a complete health check with special emphasis on He, blood sugar and thyroid tests. Consult a pulmonologist for proper control of asthma-preferrably with inhalers rather than oral steroids(prednisolone) |
hi,I am facing a problem regarding mouth ulcer for some months for which I didnt anything,but now situation is like that, it is causing excessive secretion of saliva.Also I have been suffering from viral fever for last two days causing fever and pain in throat.I am using Kenacort mouth paste for ulcer problem,but result is not satisfactory.please give me your valuable suggestion. | Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query. The ulcers could be recurrent authors ulcers or herpetic ulcers. Consult an oral physician and get it ruled out. If it is recurrent authors ulcer then the escort works, if it doe snot work then you can take amlexanox paste.

Do not take tension because tension aggravates both herpes and authors ulcers. Do soda bi core mouth wash.I hope my answer will help you, take care. |

I have been getting canker sores for about two weeks now and once one seems to heal another comes in. I have been susceptible to canker sores before but this time seems to be more than ever as I have three at this point and had three earlier.

In medical term it is called as medial border scapular muscle pain. It happens due to loss of cervical curve or else over use injury. But conformation can be done only from cervical x-ray. If you want to avoid going to doctor in general I can suggest not to carry weight on same side shoulder as well not to sleep on it. Also avoid doing anything which pains you on that shoulder as for example |
Had 3rd tooth from back on bottom left side removed Friday, because so much of the tooth had chipped off. It is now Wednesday, and I only have a little ache, but the clot is gone, and now there is something white in the middle. My stitches are doing good also. Should I worry about the white stuff in middle of socket? | Hello, If there is white stuff filling up the extraction socket, then it is probably the healing tissue that continues to remodel so that the extraction socket gets healed completely. So, if the extraction socket has white tissue, it is a good sign and as the pain has also been nominal now, this is an indication that the extraction site is healing well. So, my suggestion is to maintain a good oral hygiene and let the extraction site heal the way it is healing. Get the stitches removed after a week. Do not let food accumulate in the extraction site to avoid any chances of infection. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. |
I had a fusion on L4-L5 about 5 years ago & now i just had a MRI done & its saying thes things. Borderline Acquired Central Canal Stenosis @ L2-L3 , Secondary to disk bulging & facet arthropathy. # 2 Laminectomy changes identified @ L4-L5, with no evdence of disk herniation or neural compromise. # 3 Moderately severe facet arthropathy is identified bilaterallyn @ L5-S1 level. # 4 Minimal noncompressive disk bulging @ L1-L2. Now i have a lots of pain in my lower part of my back & into my legs & hips & my hips gets numb & my lesg more of my right leg & my lower back gets numb to. | Hi, Thanks for writing in. Please find the MRI scan findings explained below in simple language.1. Borderline Acquired Central Canal Stenosis @ L2-L3, Secondary to disk bulging & facet arthropathy. This shows that there is spinal canal narrowing due to possible degeneration and disc bulging. This is often an age related degeneration.2. Laminectomy changes identified @ L4-L5, with no evidence of disk herniation or neural compromise. This is the area of surgery and things look fine at this area.3. Moderately severe facet arthropathy is identified bilaterally @ L5-S1 level. There is advanced degenerative changes at L 5 - S 1 level which can be causing the pain you are having.4. Minimal noncompressive disk bulging @ L1-L2. Slight disc bulge is noted at L 1 - L 2 level. It is possible that a nerve is getting pinched along its way to the legs. However, no serious problems are seen on MRI which can be a serious concern. It's important to note that after back surgery, many patients continue to have symptoms and other methods of treatment like neurogenic pain relievers, ointments and physiotherapy must be thought of as relieving measures. |
Hello. I have a 9 year old boy who is a heart patient. He had an asd that was fixed when he was 18 months old and he has a cleft mitral vavle. He belly seems to be bigger than normal. He weighs 70 lbs and is 48 inches tall. He was also born with a mild ompaphaliciel and had bilateral hynerias. | Hi... I understand your concern. The congenital omphalocele which he had might have decreased the tone of the abdominal wall musculature and this might be the reason for protuberant abdomen. Unless there are symptoms of intestinal obstruction or constipation or green colored bilious vomiting, you need not worry. But if you are still in doubt I suggest you consult your pediatrician regarding this. Regards - |

My daughter is 12 months old and has got heat boil from last 2.5 days. she has caught fever because of boil. Her ped. has given her antibiotics and asked to give flexon only if having fever only once per day. after every 6-7 hrs her body temp becomes 99.2.-99.9 F. Should i give her flexon after evry 6-7 hrs. or i should give other medicine like coldman?? Please help | Thanks for the query. For boils, you need to take the complete course of antibiotics. The boils are not due to heat, but they are due to infection of hair follicle. Flexon can be given every 6 hourly for fever more than 100 F. For fever less than 100F, you need not take any antipyretic. Coldman is antic old, you need not give it for boils. Flexon will reduce the pain and also fever. Hope I helped you. |
Hi. I have been having short ( 30 seconds or less) dizzy spells. Some are worse then others. I have never fainted but each time I feel like that is what it s leading to. I have been to numerous doctors including a few specialist. None have been able to tell me what s going on. I have been told it is stress but I really do not have any real stress in my life. Any ideas or suggestions? Thank you S. Hughes YYYY@YYYY | Hello! I read your question and understand your concern. In my opinion your dizzy spells can be caused by a problem in your inner ear called benign paroxysmal positional vertigo. Have you had any head trauma? Are these spells provoked by head movement? I would recommend you to go to an ORL specialist, have a physical examination and a Dix Hall pike maneuver to rule out this diagnosis. Another possible cause of these dizzy spells could be vertigo epilepsy, a rare form of epilepsy. Dizzy spells in this situation would not be related to head movement. An EEG would be very helpful to rule this diagnosis out. Hope to have been helpful! Thank you for using Chat Doctor! Best wishes |
Hello, I am 21 years old, 120lbs. and a female. I have been having a health problem that I cant seem to get resolved by any of the doctors I have seen. About a year and a half ago, I have been extremely gaseous. It feels like I have suppressed gas trapped in my chest and I am constantly burping or trying to burp to relieve it. However, as soon as I do so, the suppress gas returns. I am gaseous at both ends. I never had my tonsils out and I also notice that when I get run down, I have swollen lymph nodes in my throat and my voice gets hoarse. I have been to an ENT doctor and they told me that I do not have a deviated septum even though I sleep with my mouth open. I also am now seeing a gastroenterologist and they said it is not reflux etc. Do you think my sinuses are causing me all of my problems? | His, you said you have had gaseous feeling since one and half years, from what I understand it can be gastritis or acid reflux both of which can be relieved by taking antacids. If I were your treating doctor, I would have suggested you tab. Omez 20\u00a0mg or tab. Panto 40\u00a0mg once daily on empty stomach. If these doesn't relieve the symptoms, combination of an antacid with McCain gel is better in relieving gastritis. Avoiding spicy foods and having proper meals at regular intervals can greatly decrease the gaseous feeling. Lymph node swelling usually can occur in minor bacterial or viral infections of throat even though there is no septal deviation. Sinusitis (infection of sinuses) also causes lymph nodal swelling sometimes. I would suggest you to get a X-ray of para nasal sinuses which gives a clear picture if the problem is with sinuses. These conditions can be treated with taking antibiotics like amoxicillin 500\u00a0mg twice daily when u have episodes of swelling. I hope my answer helped you in clearing your doubts. Thank you. |
I am getting a metallic taste near the impacted wisdom tooth. I read on internet that it could be gingivitis, Dysgeusia, or something else. But whatever I read about, I believe I dont have any other symptoms but the metallic taste - feels like my tongue takes that taste just below the gum near the impacted wisdom tooth on lower jaw. Also, since past 2 months I spot some blood (not bleeding but just a gist of blood) coming from that area near impacted wisdom tooth. This happens at least once a day and happens by itself, i.e. it doesnt happen while brushing or eating something hard. It just happens by itself. | Hello, Thanks for writing to us. Bleeding gums usually occur due to inflammation of gums as a result of poor oral hygiene maintenance. I would advise you to get a thorough scaling done. Maintain oral hygiene well. Metallic taste at the site of impacted tooth usually occur due to inflamed flap overlying tooth. Impacted tooth has to be either extracted or retained. Ciprofloxacin along with analgesics has to be administered. Take care. |
I have been taking diltiazem 240 for hypertension and irregular heartbeat. I had severe swelling in my feet and ankles. My family doctor lowered the dosage to 120 but I still have the swelling. Will lisinopril hctz 20-25 help the problem. Thanks lance | Hello, As in Hypertension, there is sometimes a symptom of swelling of ankles and feet. The physician can help with the symptomatic therapy with the help of medications. But then, we have to understand that there might be other ways to work with like exercise. As the swelling of the feet and ankles are indicative of cardiac muscle weakness and the venous pull is reduced due to the same. In most cases a multidisciplinary team approach works together like the physician, physiotherapist, urologist, nephrologist etc. Taking too much of diuretic medications can only allow the kidneys to function more and taking more of the diuretic Chat Doctor. A different approach to deal this is always good. Also, I will advise you to continue the medication provided by the physician and consult him for the advice of the exercise under a physiotherapist, so the combination therapy gives a good outcome score. Cardiac rehabilitation is the only way to strengthen the cardiac muscles as in the case of many patients. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Jay In |

I also wonder what would the method be since my partner works out of state and we only have sex approximately every 4-6 weks. | You are in a difficult position, because with irregular periods it is difficult to predict the day of ovulation, and you don't have sex often.

Your actor will be able to prescribe you medications that will make your ovulation more regular and predictable so that you can time our sex better and make it easier to get pregnant.

Hi, My partner is paralysed and confined to a wheelchair for the last 30 years. We used to encourage her to walk as much as possible using a frame in the house but a fall 2 years ago left her with a broken ankle. Due to this she has not been walking and now she has difficulty taking even two steps.She has also swollen feet and is getting cramp in her legs more often. I was wondering if a circulation booster would be beneficial? | Hi, There is possibility of shoulder pathology that may radiate to arm and chest. The other possibility is muscle spasm that occurs because of taking cold bath after exercising. You need to do warm saline fomentation along with rest, if it is a spasm it will recover in a week. It is the pain persists you need to get a shoulder and neck X-ray and an MRI done to reach a diagnosis. Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further. |
My father has been peeing blood for months. He has had several tests no infection or bacteria. He is peeing every 15 min. He has a cyst on one kidney. Also he feels like he is going to pass out. He does not sleep doses off here and there. He is 68 and has a compressed spine. | Good Day, and thank you for being with Chat Doctor ! No, the renal cyst will not cause bleeding and will not cause his urinary frequency. Since he is 68 y/o I would urge you to have his prostate checked for enlargement and maybe screen for prostate cancer. Blood in the urine is always a red flag and the etiology should always be investigated to rule out Chat Doctor. ) A PUB, prostate Ultrasound and an urinalysis is the first step in the investigation.

In the last month I noticed a dent about 4 inches long developing in the top rear of my skull runningvertically down toward the nape of my neck. I am 76 years old, I walk 3-5 miles a day in good weather. I try to eat well. I do have permanent lung damage to my right lung due to radiation from breast cancer 16 years ago. But I never had such a seam on my skull. It aches a bit especially when I get tired and seems to be more painful on the right side of my skull. How should I have it checked? | Hi, Thank you for posting your query.First, I would like to reassure you that there is no need to worry about the dent, as most often, dents are not serious. Since, you have a mild ache, it may be better to get clinically examined by a neurologist, and if needed, a CT scan of the brain may be done to exclude any pressure on the underlying brain due to the dent. If the CT scan is normal, then, no further treatment is necessary. I hope my answer helps. Please get back if you have any follow-up queries or if you require any additional information. Wishing you good health, Chat Doctor. Ly/ |
Hi Doctor,I have Azoospermia with FNAC Impression | HelloThanks for your query. In a word - No, this is not curable. Azoospermia can be of two types. One is where normal sperm formation is ongoing, but due to obstruction in the ducts, the sperm is not secreted. Second one is the testicular problem where the sperm formation itself is defective. Obstructive azoospermia can be treated. However, maturation arrest at this stage cannot be treated. It is better for you to consider pregnancy with donor sperm (donor sperm GUI - intrauterine insemination). As a few sperms are seen, you MIGHT consider THESE (testicular sperm extraction) and then CSI (intro cytoplasmic sperm injection), but the results would not be good. Take care. |
I have ptsd, and tremors of my hands and sometime my body will jerk all over like a walking seizure, in 1996 a doctor wrote me 100, 10mg valium and said they must last a month, i live in southwest VA, and can not find a doctor to write me anything excdept Clonazepam and i am a big guy not obese type just wide and big. i wear a 38 pant size if that tells you im not fat i need a doctor to see me on line or help finding one that will write me the valium, i have been given xanax and it is not for my tremor problem it helped the ptsd but i type on finger because of the shakes. please help | Hi, Thank you for posting your query. It seems to me that you may have Valium (diazepam) dependence, which may be aggravating the tremors. In any case, Valium is not a good Chat Doctor. Best options for reducing tremors would include beta blockers and clonazepam. At the same time, please meet a psychiatrist who would get you off Valium. Please get back if you require any additional information. Best wishes, |
I fell yesterday on my back, left shoulder area. It is difficult to breathe and extremely painful. Nothing appears out of place. what is the difference between a cracked rib and a broken rib? Is it just the pain level, or what are things I should consider. I understand there is not much to be done, other than wrapping the rib cage, that a Dr can do. I have not gone in for an X-ray yet. | Hi... The difference between a cracked rib and broken rib...both are fractures difference is how big the crack is ... In short. Cracked rib is kind of hairline fracture of a rib. Whereas the broken rib could a situation in the continuity of rib with or without displacement... Displaced fracture can lead to an improper union and displaced fracture is a bit concern as it can damage internal organs... Hope this information is helpful... |
hi...moey 23. Heroin user 2yrs. I recently started IV ing and due to unnoticable veins elsewhere, ive been using the vein at the crook of the arm on both arms around 3 to 4 times daily for 5 days now. my right arm got slightly swollen but was not painful as such after a shot 1 day ago but i woke up last night with it painful and with a bit of swelling around the injection site upto 2 inches away. i cant bend it as it is really painful, in my country, drug users are reported to the police by the drs so going in for care and being honest is not an option.(Kenya) But one can get most meds even antibiotics via the chemist wtht prescription. please advise. i will not hold u accountable for your advice. thx | Dear user chances are you have an infection at the injection site, and you need urgent treatment. You are running the risk of loosing your arm at worst or even dying of septicemia. I suggest you go to hospital and just show them your arm, and they will know how to treat you. The decision to tell them exactly what caused this condition is entirely yours. Most doctors will recognize the condition and simply treat you without judging you or digging too much in your personal life |
Ive had bilateral mastectomy, stage 0 breast cancer, 17 lymph nodes from my right and 7 from my left underarm were removed by my surgeon. Now I have a boil on my nape and i feel another lump beside it. Its quite bothersome because its painful. What do I do. Thank you so much. Good day! | Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You may have boil or enlarged lymph node. Enlarged lymph node may be due to reactive hyperplasia, tuberculosis or metastatic breast cancer. So it should be tested.

Good afternoon my mom was diagnoses with the bird fungus last year and took strong antibiotics. They removed a slither of her lung. Her spleen was also very enlarged. That was in January of 2014. Today she is having a biopsy, they are thinking she has lymphoma. Her spleen is still enlarged, she has spots on her lungs and some nodes are also enlarged. They biopsied her liver, can you explain to me why they would biopsy the liver? She also continues to loose weight and she is not well. | Hello, The reason for the liver biopsy is to find out the homogenous (via blood) spread of the underlying pathological condition of fungi.

Hello. My mom has been in extreme pain for 5 days now with what she says is kidney stones. She did pass one last year after about 5 hours, and she says the pain is the same, so she \"knows\" that it is stones again. However, she now has a very sore throat and says she is just getting a cold. Do I need to be worried? | Hi, I am sorry to know about your mothers condition. She is probably having a stone in the ureter (the tube connecting kidney with bladder). Since it is a very painful condition and can affect kidney function and/or general condition, it is very important that she gets medical attention as soon as possible. There are excellent medicines which can control the pain within minutes. However, I cannot prescribe them online. Once you get a confirmation of diagnosis using ultrasonogram and urine microscopy testing, your treating physician will be able to sole the problem very quickly. A single dose of over the counter pain medication can be given for emergency (if she does not have pre-existing liver or kidney disease). Make her Chat Doctor. I am available for further guidance at any point of her treatment. Wish your mother a speedy recovery, Best regards, |

I used to check for my urea creatinine blood test and urine routine every month. My albumin is 2. Whether i will be having any problem in my kidney? My urine output is also normal. Expecting your advise.Hari | Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. Your urea and creatinine level is very high. It suggests kidney damage. You should have some symptoms with this high level of urea and creatinine. You don't have any symptoms, so there may be some doubts.

Then you should take treatment accordingly. Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Wish you a very good health. |

I have serious stomach pain and the last x-ray i did last week suggests that there is a blockage. The only thing my doctor prescribed was Lactulose. I have not tried it yet, but will soon. She did not tell me the cause of this recurring pain (for 2 years now). I am a bit frustrated. I need more information. What to eat what not to eat possibly... and I need to know if this is serious. All ultra sounds were normal... I dont understand. | Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor. Constipation is one of the major digestive tract symptom experienced by many in world.

One of relatives is down with appendicitis, he is advised to undergo surgery for the same. Tell me more about the surgeries done for removal of appendicitis. What are the complications of the same? | Appendectomy is the surgical removal of the appendix, a small, finger-shaped pouch that is located at the junction between the large and small intestines.

Hi. I dont really see any answers online that help and this is the first time I have had this happen. I had my menstrual cycle 13-16 of last month. Three days ago I started lightly spotting. It started out pinkish and getting darker. I dont know what would be causing this. Im 28 years old and never had it happen and there is a chance I could be pregnant. When should I take a test? | Hi and thank you so much for this query. It is best to take a urine pregnancy test at least after having a missed period. This allows sufficient time for the levels of the hormone to rise too levels that can easily be detected. Tests done before this date may give false negative results because of low levels of the hormone in the body. So after 16th of this month, you can conveniently do so. If you long to become pregnant, I wish you luck with the outcome. However, if you don't want to be pregnant now, consider adopting and correctly using a contraceptive method. I hope this helps. Thanks for using our services and feel free to ask for clarifications. |
i had pain in by inner jaw line as my wisdom tooth was growing 6-8mths ago. but now i found it is not full grown its slightly peeping out and stopped. Now i could feel toward my right side lower end after my last tooth their is an small flesh growing. but their is no pain. pls help | Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query. The pain and fleshy growth (swelling) could be because of the gum infection over the wisdom tooth (periodontal infection leading to space infection). Consult an oral physician and get a radiograph done to rule the amount of space present for the tooth to erupt if space is there for the tooth to erupt then the gum covering over the wisdom tooth can be removed. If the space is not available then you have to get the wisdom tooth removed. Meanwhile you can take a course of antibiotics like amoxicillin 500\u00a0mg and metronidazole 400\u00a0mg TID for 5 days (if you are not allergic). Do saline gargling. I hope my answer will help you, take care. |

My kidneys just got hit a few minutes ago it was hit by a door knob and it was a strong hit.... It felt really painful but now it is not that much anymore. It has a mark like about 2 inches of straight red line... I have normal breathing but it felt a little shorter than usual, just a little bit, and the straight red line in my left side of the body where the door know hit the kidneys hurt a little bit... can you help me? It might be internal bleeding... | Hi, Thanks for writing in. Please find my observations below.1. The kidneys are well protected organs in the abdomen. It is first protected by a strong capsule and then surrounded with fat. Then there is bowel in front of it and from all sides there is the muscle in abdominal wall protecting the kidney from trauma.2. From the above, it is less likely that the pain is from any kidney internal bleeding if you have no other urinary symptoms of trauma to kidneys like passage of dark urine.3. Since if is on the left side of the body, thought must also be given to the spleen and if the pain is severe then you immediately require an ultrasound examination to make sure you do not have any splenic injury resulting from the trauma incident.4. Please take rest for about an hour and if it is still paining severely then visit the ER and get yourself evaluated for any internal injury probably involving spleen. |

You may need investigations like routine hologram, random blood sugar, semen culture and sensitivity, ultrasound of scrotum. You may need to take antibiotics. Motility is normal. Normally it should be at least 55 %. Your findings suggest overall 60 % motility, so it is normal. Sperm count is normal. Normally it should be at least 20 millions/ml.

I HAVE THIS HEAT FEELING INSIDE MY BODY AROUND WAISTLINE/ STOMACH , LOWER BACK AND CHEST AREA. THIS SYSTEM COMES AND GOES. WENT TO SEE MY DR, AND SHE TOLD ME NOT TO WORRY ABOUT IT. SINCE I HAVE A C-SECTION WITH MY LAST BABY 3 YRS AGO, I STARTED TO HAVE LOWER ABDOMINAL PAIN ON MY RIGHT SIDE TOO. PLEASE TELL ME WHAT I NEED TO DO? | Hello, Abdominal pain following a C section may be due to adhesions of the internal structures. But pain of burning nature of the upper abdomen may be due to Gastritis(Inflammation of the stomach). In this situation I would advise my patients to Avoid spicy food, tea, coffee and carbonated beverages. Eat frequent small meal for easy digestion. Take proton pump inhibitors. If the symptoms still persist then consult a Gastroenterologist. He may advise you Ultrasound abdomen and Upper GI endoscopy which may help in diagnosing the problem. |
Hi, I hv just brought melacare forte cream and still not applied as i was sacred , my face skin colour has become very dark and lot of marks are there but if I m using this now and if I stop using after a month then will it darken my skin the same or worse, and the other thing how am I suppose to apply this on my face, and after how many minutes should I wash my face, i am 27yr old with a five year old kid | Hi, Melacare forte is a strong pigmentation reducing cream. It should not be used beyond one month and should always be applied in night. Continuous, prolonged unsupervised use can lead to rebound pigmentation. The other caution to be exercised with it is that if it causes redness or irritation, it should be immediately discontinued. Do not forget to use a sunscreen in morning and also take oral vitamin C supplements. Once you have achieved desired results switch to a milder Comic acid, licorice albumin based creams. Take care. |
Hi I am a 39 year old female, non smoker, not asthmatic however I keep getting pleurisy. Oridinarily I am in good health and am not on any medication. I have had 2 bouts of it in the past year and I feel it coming on for a third time. Ordinarily I dont suffer with shortness of breath or struggle to walk or run or dance. It is only when the episode presents itself in the form of pain in my lungs when I breath which worserns over time and the absolute exahustion and weakness that I feel. Once I had tightness in my chest as well and had what I describe to be like a panic attack when I couldnt catch my breath. That happened twice. I would be grateful if you could advise. Thanks Dawn | Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. In my opinion, we should definitely rule out bronchitis in your case. So consult pulmonologist and get done clinical examination of respiratory system and PFT (Pulmonary Function Test). If PFT is normal then no need to worry about bronchitis. Sometimes stress, anxiety and panic disorder can also cause similar symptoms. So consult psychiatrist and get done counselling sessions. Try to identify stressor in your life and start working on its solution. You may need anxiolytic Chat Doctor. Don't worry, you will be alright with all these. Avoid stress and tension, be relaxed and calm. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks. |
Hi, Yesterday, all of a sudden when I was doing something, (tying a ribbon) and my entire left hand went numb. It felt heavy and when tested with a pin I felt nothing. It subsided in about 10 minutes, slight tingling as it resolved, No color change or enlargement or change of appearance. No feeling when the fingernails were pressed fairly hard. I have read about conversion disorders, but I am under no undue stress. Anything else? Thanks! | Degree understand your concerns went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. The numbness you felt could be so many reasons. Also, you did not mention your age, other medical conditions etc. Just try to remember what happened before the incident (around 1 hour). Also try 24 hours before, sleep position. Has this occurred before? Safest option should be to visit a physician and tell him all the details and ask his opinion on this regard. Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications. Good luck. |
I have a low platelet count - 58 which was a retest from one that said 55. My allergist ran the test because that was the only abnormal part of my blood work. He thought it could be just my platelets are clumpy . I have no other issues - no abnormal bleeding or anything. No fatigue either. Could this be something really bad? He just wants me to follow up with my regular doctor. | Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. If you don't have any other symptoms then it can be due to platelets aggregates that happen due to sampling error. So you should repeat your platelet count after two days. If it becomes normal then nothing to worry. If it is low then you need further investigations. 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. |

hi,my 4year old son had fever aroung 38-39 with cold and cough, 2 weeks ago. we did blood n urine check up but it was normal DR. said its Viral infection no need of medicine.after 10 days today again he is having fever aroungd 38. what may be the reason? this is worrying me cause in last 4 year first time he is this much sick . | Hi...by what you say I feel that your kid might be having a recurrent viral illness. I will explain to you how a viral illness behaves so that you can be more confident. 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. Regards - |
Hi, My mothers aged around 56 is suffering from pain in lower back bone and pain in the upper side backbone (near sholders) the MRI report shows the following. Mild diffuse disc bulge at l4-l5 with indentation over thecal sac and causing mild narrowing of bilateral lateral recess/foramen.

No open cuts just ached in the head...put ice on and never really had any other issues except towards the top of my head feels very numb.,...so numb that when my hair is normally really tangly and I brush through it....it normally hurts at my scap....but I feel nothing really | Hi, Thanks for writing in. It is possible that you had a scalp injury when you hurt your head. This can cause irritation of nerve endings which can get sensitized when brushing your hair. If you experience symptoms like persistent headaches, heaviness, vomiting, dizziness, loss of gait then please get back to your doctor at once for a CT scan brain to know if there is any injury to brain which is not visible from outside. Also check your scalp for any bruises and injury and signs of inflammation and infection in the scalp that might have appeared after the injury. If present you must apply antibiotic ointment containing sodium fumigate to the area. This will prevent infection. |
My shin started itching randomly one morning, and has been annoyingly itchy ever since 2 weeks ago. There is a colorless rash that looks like goosebumps, and when itched the rash becomes slightly numb and raised when itched. It spread to my other leg, though not as bad, and I fear that it could be spreading up farther past the knee. Diagnosis? Treatment? Either is appreciated.

My son is 12 and work up with a 102.9 fever and I have been giving him Tylenol. And with the Tylenol it seems to be going down. Now its up to 103.4 and I just gave him more tylenol. He is not complaining about anything should I wait and see what happens of call the dr. | Thanks for contacting Chat Doctor. It is safe to give your child Tylenol for his fever. I recommend in my practice that you can give Tylenol every 4 hours for fever. You can also use a tepid bath. Place him in bath water that is about 99 degrees and place him in it. That will slowly lower his temperature. Do not use a cold bath as it will make him shiver and actually increase his core body temperature. Overall temperature is not a bad thing. We only reduce a temperature if the child has a history of febrile seizures. Remember fever has been around of thousands of years as a defense against infection. The fever reduces the ability of the infection to grow, and it also brings more white blood cells into the body to help fight that infection. So fever is not a bad thing. You can wait and see how he behaviors over the next day or so. Hope I answered you question. Please contact us again with your medical questions and concerns. |
I am 25 years old and was shot in the arm back in june. Since I have been on tecta due to a bleeding ulcer and without it I vomit non stop and wind up in the ER for a night or two. I am wanting to get pregnant and am wondering what I would do as I see tecta is not safe for pregnancy? Also I was wondering, I take morphine pills once in awhile for the severe pain I still get in my arm (the gun shot shattered my elbow and I now have rods and plates in there) and I read that is safe, as well as injectable gravol when my stomach gets too bad... | Dear patient, Thanks for the query. No medication is absolutely safe in pregnancy, but there are some that have to be avoided if possible (those that are Class C) or completely at all costs (those that are Class X). Class A are those that have been shown to be \"safe\" in humans (very few, like acetaminophen). Most meds fall into Class B; these we try not to use during the first trimester, but if there is a medical need that exceeds the risk they could be used. Yours truly, Chat Doctor. |
Im 80 years old, female, five feet six inches tall, weigh 150 pounds and have no serious health problems other than a slightly elevated cholesterol level for which I take medication. I live alone and wonder if I should be worried if I sometimes talk to myself. | Hello! Thank you for asking on Chat Doctor! Regarding your concern, I would explain that it is quite normal to talk with yourself when you live alone. Loneliness is just a normal condition and human beings are accustomed to living in the society with each other. It is normal to need to talk to someone during the day. Being alone, you try to do it to yourself. But you have nothing to worry about, as you are very conscious of doing this. If this helps you feel better, you can continue doing this. Otherwise, I would recommend going out and try to socialize with someone (a neighbor, an old friend, in a place for old people like a bar or home care). Hope you will find this answer helpful! Best wishes, |
