Dear Sir, My 3years 5 months daughter (22 kg) had a fever and cold. she had been initially prescribed clamp kid forte ( amoxycilling & potassium clavulanate 2 tab daily and aligra sus 5ml twice. later she developed rashes through out her body and mouth. we stopped after 3 tablets. then she has been prescribed azithal XL 200 5 ml daily. she does not have high fever now (Max 99.9 F) Her rashes are now become big and red. we are worried please help. | HI...if there is fever and associated with rash, then it must be a viral illness. There was no need to use antibiotics and that to two antibiotics. Cough and cold are viral 95% of the times in child 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. Regards - |

I understand your concerns and I will try to help you as much as I can. This ultrasound shows enlarged liver with coarse nanostructure which is a nonspecific finding, but in some cases it may indicate certain liver disordersThere are many causes of liver enlargement and treatment depends on exact cause. Most common cause is fatty liver. If this is caused by diet, obesity and diabetes then dietary and lifestyle changes will be beneficial in every case. Alcohol and viral hepatitis are the most common causes and in this case medical evaluation is required.Also, if there is infectious disease or biliary duct disorders then you need to do some tests to rule out more serious issues which require specific medical treatment. In every case, if there are high liver markers then CT scan should be done as a next step which will reveal liver condition ore precisely. 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. |

AST level is 205 and ALT level is 401. They are scheduling an ultrasound. I m not a heavy drinker just an occasional glass of wine - maybe one every couple of weeks. In the past I ve had liver function tests that were only slightly elevated but then the dr. stopped testing when one came back normal. These levels have me concerned though. I m 43, not obese. | HelloSign ALT may indicate liver injury. It may be due to many reasons like hepatitis, alcohol intake, altered lipid profile, medicines,autoimmune causes etc.AST in non-specific, and it increases in many conditions.

I have been running a fever for nearly a week. (started last Thursday 1/19) at times as high as 106. I know that sounds crazy - but it is accurate. I am using a hospital grade thermometer (Exergen $389)Anyway I went to ER when I developed some pain in my right flank. After taking chest x-ray, sonogram, urine dip, blood draw they couldnt find anything wrong. I think it was just body pain from the fever itself. All the docs tell me is it must be a flu virus. I have clear sinus and lungs, no pain with urination or BM, no diarhea. I am sensitive to molds. I used to get sinus infections when exposed. A few years ago I found out some of my food sensitivities and eliminated them from my diet. I havent had chronic sinus infections since them. Do you think this could be an extreme allergic reaction? I really need to figure out what is happening here. Im pretty weak. | Hellos you mentioned that you are having high grade fever for one week. While all tests are normal. So such type of fever may be due to these reasons, these include |
My mom has had Reynaud s syndrome for about 12 yrs-15 yrs. She has had top-notch help, so doing fine there. My question is in the process of this disease, is blacking-out common ? She hasn t blacked-out for a few years, but she also has a background of grandmal siezures many year ago and then the smaller-out for a minute type. (Sorry name is escaping me ) | Dear Friend, Thanks for sharing your question. Raynauds phenomenon and seizures can be due to multiple causes, which includes Lupus, vasculitis, lymphoma, myeloproliferative disorders. However, long history of 12 yrs and single episode of seizure doesn't go with these diseases. It seems to be co incident or primary Reynolds. Which kind of Reynolds phenomenon it was? Biphasic or traffic, primary or secondary? Any other significant history? Please provide some more details. |
Hello doctor.......i start my vaccine after 10 day of when my sisters puppy by accident scratched by her leg nail then i dint get a tetanus injection But when i heard that she died at day 5th evening and i went to doctor after day 5th of she died is there any risk that i start lil late my rabbies vaccine plzzz doc im really scared reply me....... | Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor, Rabies is 100% fatal, but it is 100% preventable with proper and adequate treatment. As the dog which has scratched you has died you need to take both antirabies vaccine and antirabies serum. As the puppy died after biting you it may be having rabies, still it is not late you have to take both the vaccine and the serum. Antirabies vaccine should be taken on days 0,3,7,14 and 28. The vaccine should be taken to the deltoid by intramuscular route. The antirabies serum or rabies immunoglobulin should be taken around the wound as early as possible. I would suggest you to follow aforementioned treatment as soon as possible by contacting your doctor. Thank you. |

Doctor my baby is 2 months old..From birth she is feeding Lactogen1 no breast milk. I tried a lot of medicines for breast milk but failed.The matter is that the stool of baby is having foul smell. And her motion is too difficult hardly one times in a day. Is there any problem. | Most formula milks are cow milk based and hence difficult to digest. When the child is unable to digest it, the undigested remains are degraded by intestinal bacteria to produce foul smelling gases. I would suggest getting a stool routine microscopy (including test for reducing substances) to be done. Treatment will depend on the results. In any case, I would suggest changing the formula to a soy based formula and see if there is a difference. |

Hi doctor, my 65 year old mom, generally healthy, got a swelling on the lower and mid forearm region which is red/ blue and warm to touch. She over exerted herself a day back. She has no pain moving her arms, wrists or working but the swollen area is painful to touch. The area started as 3 cm diameter and has started spreading and lightening in color and heat. What could this be. | Hithank you for providing the brief history of you. As you have overextended the forearm this could be just a muscle inflammation and needs some resting for the inflammation to subside. Also, doing quick icing this inflammation should subside and also the pain. In my clinical practice such cases are advised with physical therapy like therapeutic ultrasound therapy for reducing inflammation and pain. Regards Jay In Chat Doctor. |
Post root-canal by 10 days, still in a ton of pain with deep jaw ache, metal - chemical taste, more pain after eating. Have crown scheduled for 2 days from now but dont know if I should proceed with remaining problems from root canal. This root canal has taken place over the course of 8 weeks in 4 sessions due to calcification build up they injected a medicine and made me wait to finish it just a week ago Wed. Pain management is non-existent. Ortho wont prescribe any more pain meds. I am on my 2nd course of steriods and of antibiotics. This is causing me severe headaches, pain radiates into the ear and forehead, some throat issues, inability to sleep, etc.. What is the best course of action - go through with a crown, get it pulled or go back to ortho to get another assessment of the root canal job? I am sick of this nonsense. | Hellooo...read through your query.I must say that first don't get panic...pain after few weeks of root canal treatment is normal....it's because of the healing procedure.....and no dentist will do crown till your pain completely gets over.so don't worry about that...but be careful while u bite with that side(avoid biting with that side).metallic taste can be due to temporary filling getting disintegrating in saliva.so nothing to worry...in my view I suggest you to go to dentist take for a X-ray if there is any abscess beneath the root is present can be detected...and if nothing works only as a very last resort extraction have to be done...do salt water gargle regularly.....go to dentist...finish the treatment...be cool...be happy.happiness can do wonders for our minds...that's best medicine...hope your benefitted something from this reply.have a healthy day!!! |
My father has end stage cancer. He has been suffering from severe constipation for a month. We did everything we could to alleviate it. Chang meds...cut down on narcotics...give high doses of meds to promote a m. The problem is is that he had two very small band in the last week and a half with NO m for 3 weeks. Finally after an enema yesterday Eureka! A m on his own last night and 3 today. In total a pretty good amount of bm. But now he feels real bad. No nausea or pain. No pinpointed symptoms. Just feels bad. Could the toxins leaving his body cause him to feel bad? | Hi, Thanks for writing in. It is good to know that the enema worked yesterday, and he had good bowel movement. It is possible that he is low on nutrition and probably feeling hungry. Constipation in itself is an unfavorable symptom and patient is in discomfort. The bad feeling he is having is not a serious concern and might be due to sudden evacuation of bowels. There is nothing like toxins leaving the body making a patient feel bad. However, is might mean that he needs to be given a healthy meal. Please include fibers in the diet and this will ease in digestion and bowel movements will be regular. Give him adequate fluids. Please do not worry. |
yes I have a doctor that has diagnosed me with bipolar 1. My family disagrees with this diagnoses and I have a cousin that is mad with me and she is a nurse and she court ordered me in to the hospital she works at. She got fired for breaking the hipaa law going into my information through the computer to bmu. she had been there 15 years. she is the one that called the hospital and told them I was manic and bipolar. I looked up all symptoms and I do not have the symptoms of bipolar. I went to er with a reaction to lithium and the doctor there told me not to take it and to do not let a doctor put me on crazy medication because I am not crazy. What do I do. My family has signed a piece of paper stating I do not have the symptoms of bipolar | Dear, We understand your concerns went through your details. As you had already gone through the symptoms, I do not have to repeat those symptoms here again. You had already gone through the bipolar symptoms list and once you are sure, you don't have those symptoms, why worry and take medicines for that? Your family also vouches your version. You may convince your doctor easily about it. You may, if you want, consult a psychologist who is capable to give you a psychometric test to assess your mental health.

I am male 62. Had CABG in Dec 2008. Recent 2D echo shows mild diastolic dysfunction, LVEF 60%. Other parameters normal. BP less than 110, diabetes controlled with diet and a little medication, taking metolar and rampril. Can climb stairs, slope without problem. Rest HR 75. | Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. I have gone through the 2d echo report you have mentioned. At the age of 62, mild diastolic dysfunction is common finding. You also had CABG (Coronary artery bypass grafting). So nothing to worry about mild diastolic dysfunction. Your ejection fraction (EF) is 60% which is very good at this age. So your heart pumping is excellent. So you car definitely climb stairs or slope without any worry or fear. But please do do it fast and take proper rest after climbing 2-3 stairs. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks. |
dear doctor , my friend has nasal blockage for last 6 months. and he had done endoscopy and the biospy report was malignant tumour . the features are poorly differentiated carcinoma . how long will take to recover from this? what is the treatment? sheeba | HI! SORRY TO SAY THAT PROGNOSIS IN YOUR FRIENDS CASE MAY BE DISMAL AS THE TUMOR REPORT IS BAD --IT SHOWS A RAPIDLY SPREADING TUMOR WITH HIGH POTENTIAL TO PROGRESS & GROW --- SO NOW FUTURE PREDICTIONS NOW VERY MUCH DEPEND ON TH E SPREAD WHICH HAS ALREADY OCCURRED & THE CHANCES OF CONTAINMENT OF TUMOR & ITS RESPONSIVENESS TO TREATMENT ...THIS CAN BE WELL DECIDED BY CT SCAN OF THE SINUS & HEAD & NECK AREA ---DO CONSULT AN SURGICAL ONCOLOGIST /ONCOLOGIST |
I have had 2 chest X-rays in the last 3 days there seems to be an ill defined alveolar opacity in the right upper zone measuring 3cm. Looks like a wedge, I am worried because I am a thyroid cancer survivor and am aware that rai puts me t higher risk of other cancers. Why does this result mean? | Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Since you are thyroid cancer survivor, possibility of lung metastasis is there. Cancer patients are immunocompromised. So opportunistic infections are common. And lung is the most common organ for such infection. And upper lobe lesions are common in tuberculosis. So tuberculosis should also be ruled out. In my opinion, you should consult pulmonologist and get done 1. CT thorax. It is much superior to chest x-ray in diagnosis of metastatic lung nodule. 2. Sputum for AFB (acid fast bacilli-bacteria causing tuberculosis). 3. Bronchoscopic evaluation for confirmation of cancer and infection. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks. |
I thought I had a cold or flu coming on so when i began to sneeze and have a sore throat i began my vitamin c airborne routine. I thought it had knocked it out but about 1 week later in the middle of the night i would have a plugged nose and sore throat so i started the airborne again. About two days later i woke up with a stiff neck and thought it was a kink but it was stiff and headachy with a full feeling nasal area for about a week then the stiffness subsided during the day now its almost gone day 17 but two or three days ago some of my fingers and toes began to ache feeling like i jammed my pointer on my right hand ..they are swollen and tender two fingers on left hand and two on right plus one toe on right and two toes on left.....today i have a sore throat and feel like my neck lymph is swollen my fingers ache the toes are tolerable with ibuprofen regularly and airborne. I hope you can help me..i dont have medical as i began a new job recently and it doesnt kick in until May. | Thanks for your query at Chat Doctor! I am Infectious Disease Specialist! I went through your query! You need thorough examination and set of investigations to come to diagnosis whether viral, bacterial or tubercular, in nature or malignancy. Take paracetamol and nasal decongestants. Do saline gargles 6-8 times/day. You probably have had a secondary infection over your primary viral infection. You will need antibiotic prescription to see cure for 2 weeks. If it persists you need further evaluation. Happy to take more queries! You can also write a review for me. If you would like some more information, I will be happy to provide. You can take a follow-up query. Take care! |
Hi I have just stoped microgynan after a year and half I had my period on the13..12.12 and finished on the 18 after that I have stoped the pill and today on the 24 I am getting black blood could you help is this normal? As I want to try for a baby now thank you | Hello, Thanks for trusting us with your health concern. I have gone through your query and would like to offer some suggestions. As the oral contraceptive pill has been stopped, there is some hormone imbalance created. This takes some time to settle down and return of ovulation may take a couple of months. This is the most likely cause for the breakthrough bleeding you have experienced. Furthermore, maintenance of a healthy lifestyle helps a lot in attaining normal hormone milieu earlier. If you do not find relief in a couple of days, please get further help from your health care provider. Hope this helps. |
my left arm has been bugging me and Ive had chest pain i went to the emergency room and they checked my heart they say my heart is healthy but why does my left arm and chest kinda hurt? i also noticed i have had phlegm in my lungs could all this be cause by inflammation? | Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Yes, these symptoms can be due to inflammation in the lungs. Bronchitis (inflammation of airways) can cause chest pain, phlegm production etc. So better to consult pulmonologist and get done 1. Clinical examination of respiratory system 2. PUT (pulmonary function test). PFT will not only diagnose bronchitis, but it will also tell you about severity of the disease and treatment is based on severity only. You may need inhaled bronchodilator and inhaled corticosteroids (ICS). 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 I have back ache and somebody suggested Kerala ayurvedic massage for good relief. Can this really help? Does anybody else got this done anytime and know if this helps? | 1. Kerala's massage is palliation procedure while Ayurveda massage is purification procedure.2. Ayurveda panchkarma except Andaman vast causes Langham i.e. loss of weight while Kerala ayurvedic massage produces Brian i.e. gain of weight.3. Most Important aspect is that while in Ayurveda Panchkarma there are fixed formulation for a given disease, in Kerala ayurvedic massage medicine is prepared individually for patient disease, thus you can choose Kerala massage for good relief, depending upon the duration of therapy and number of days of treatment. |

In the past few month my balance has become increasingly worse . What other treatment is available for me ? I have also lost my hearing in right ear . | Hello! Welcome on Chat Doctor !

My 20 year old daughter had her 4 wisdom teeth pulled 2 days ago. She had has very little swelling and little pain. Her tongue is almost dark purple/black looking from blood stains and this morning she has a \"blood blister\" or what looks like one in her mouth near one of the extractions. Anything we can do at home for this? Is this normal? | Hello, She most likely has a hematoma. This can be from the injection or bruising trauma from biting the tongue. The body will take care of this with time. Healing may involve some tissue changes and even an area of solid feeling tissue can be part of normal healing. You can expect a slow healing process that can take 3 to 6 weeks to totally resort the hematoma. Warm salt water rinses and anti-inflammatory medication such as ibuprofen may assist healing. If the area increases or does not continue to heal, visit the dentist to evaluate if Chat Doctor. In general, this is not considered an unusual event, and you do not need to worry. It is a very positive sign that there has been little pain and little swelling. This indicates healing is progressing well. Thank you for your inquiry.

My 3 year old daughter has been diagonsed with dermatomyosis and is under the care of a pediatric rhuemetologist. Tonight, we noticed spots on her tongue - I know these disease can present ulcers in the mouth - how do I know if this is an ulcer related to her condition? | Hello, I can understand your concern. As your daughter is suffering from Dermatomyositis, chances are more that the spots you have found are related to this condition only. To differentiate them from other ulcers, while other kids of oral ulcers are very painful, the ulcers associated with dermatomyositis are not painful. However, some cases present with painful ulcers, too. They are more like the spots and not ulcers and I assume that is what you have observed. However, it is better to get it confirmed by the treating doctor rather than deciding for yourself as doctors are the experts in identifying one type of lesions from others based on their appearance. I hope this information helps you. Thank you for choosing Chat Doctor. Take care. Best, |
My mother has been advised to use olanzapine tablet (olan), dosulepin tablets(dothip), feliz-s-20 medicines but she is not feeling as such kind of relief it s been 4 months since she has been using these tablets. While consulting with the doctor he advised to continue the treatment. What is your opinion? | His had gone through your query. Mood disorder has various subtypes and treatment are different for each subtype. Olanzapine has dual role in psychotic and mood disorder. Feliz is antidepressant and can be given in depression. So it is difficult to say on that many details. But yes if she is not improving then need to re-evaluate her diagnosis and need to change medicines. So discuss with your treating psychiatrist for this and get help. Thank you. I hope I have answered your query. |

I have high blood pressure, and protien in my urine. Ive been tested for appendacitis, gall stones, kidneys and all that and it all came back normal. Im on prolosec now, it helps some but the pains still there just not as bad. What do I do? | Hi there, acid reflux could be caused due to reflux esophagitis, peptic ulcer disease or any other cause relating to the GIT, besides these, acid reflux can also be caused due to other systemic disorder like liver dysfunction or kidney disease which may present with the vague symptoms that you have suggested. As you also have protein in urine and increased frequency of urination it would be wise to get your SEF examined for any kidney disorder and for that preliminary tests like routine urine exam, blood urea, creatinine, GFR, serum cholesterol, lipids and 24hr urine protein done. If there are any positive findings in them then you may consult a nephrologist and act accordingly. In the meanwhile you could continue with Prilosec. IF you are a smoker or consume alcohol more than socially then cut down on them and make some minor changes in your lifestyle such as take regular meals fat restricted and low spice in small quantities at frequent intervals. Hope you get better soon, take care. |
Hello, I dont really know how to start describing my problem, but I noticed something a little disturbing in my partners behavior during sex. First of all, he experiences pain during intercourse and sometimes after. Secondly for a long time he couldnt come at all, now weve reached the point that he can (after more than an hour of sex) but he doesnt feel it. He is ejaculating but he doesnt have orgasm. What should I do about it? Ive never met with such a problem before, I tried to ask him whats going on but hes not really eager to talk about it. I hope you can help me. | HelloThanks for query. Based on the facts that you have narrated I think your husband is facing a problem of Delayed Ejaculation and occasionally An orgasmic Ejaculation. The most common cause of delayed ejaculation or An orgasmic ejaculation is due to performance anxiety and stress or problems in personal relationship between husband and wife. Both of you need to consult qualified Psychiatrist for counselling and treatment. Chat Doctor. |
Hi, My 3-yr old son had a fever of 103 three days ago and has since developed a rash on his torso, starting on his genitals and spreading up the front of his torso. The rash consists of flat pink spots which don t seem to be itchy or sore. He says he feels ok, although his appetite was poor when he had the fever a few days ago. Is this rash likely to be a heat rash as it has been in the 90s here the last few days (but we do have a/c) or could it be connected to the fever. Thanks! | Hi... I feel by what you quote he should be having a - Hand Foot Mouth disease. This is one viral illness among all other anthems which can cause fever followed by rash over palms and soles. It is a self-limiting disorder and itching can be really worrisome. I suggest you use any over the counter antihistamine if you have one with you now. You can use HY Chat Doctor. This can even cause some peeling of skin in the next 4-6 weeks and do not worry about it. Regards - |

I m prescribed Evion 400 with Mok-L .i hv cold allergy asthma recently after having a trip to 7 days trip to hill station,. In past this problem occured 4 yr and 1 yr back .. I hv dry cough n sometimes breathing a bit uneasy. I m diabetic and HT.also prescribed synoder syrup (sugar free cough syrup ). Pl. tell me how useful this evion is and its side effects . . | Hi, Thanks for using the Chat Doctor. Evion is it E an antioxidant. I think this has been used only as additional agent as there is no guidelines to use it E along with Anti asthma medications as far as my knowledge. Mok-l I think its combination of montelukast and Levi cetirizine. If you are taking aspirin please take only plain montelukast not combination as they can increase the bleeding tendencies. For acute management no severe AE is reported. So you can use this product. But any side effect you can report to your doctor. Hope I have answered your query. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help. Thanks get well soon.... |
My chest has been hurting about 2 weeks, at first I thought it was reflux or similar, but it s getting worse. I had an ekg which read normal and I have been popping antacids like candy. I listened to my chest with my stethoscope for about 10 minutes and there were at least 6 pauses in my heart rhythm in that span. Could this be pvc s or something else? I was also diagnosed about 20 years ago with mvp. | Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. In my opinion, we should first rule out heart related diseases because you are having skipped beats, had MVP (mitral valve prolapse). So consult cardiologist and get done 1. 2d echo. 2. Holder monitoring (24 hour continuous monitoring of ECG). If all these are normal then no need to worry about heart diseases. Uncontrolled acid reflux can also cause chest pain. So take proton pump inhibitors and prokinetic Chat Doctor. Avoid hot and spicy food. Avoid large meals, instead take frequent small meals. Avoid stress and tension. Don't worry, you will be alright. But first rule out heart diseases. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks. |
My son is 2 and a half y/o. For the last month he has had diarrhea nearly every day, with an occasional solid b.m. every now and then. He isn t having a b.m. any more frequent than usual. I ve stayed away from fruits and sugary foods/drinks but still the diarrhea. He doesn t have any other signs of illness. What could be the problem and how can I fix it? | Hi... 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. But I have few questions for you-Questions |
I fell on my knee on the concrete 1 month ago. The area was bruised and scabbed. It has since healed, but there is now a large hard lump on my knee cap. It is about the size of a gumball. Does no feel fluid filled. It is in fact very hard like bone, but is only mildly tender when touched. What is it? Will it go away? | Hi, Greetings from Chat Doctor. Since you fell on a concrete slab you must have suffered a hematoma in the knee. Once hematoma is organized it will feel like a hard swelling instead of fluid. You need to give cold compresses to prevent it getting bigger. You also need to take paracetamol and diclofenac tablets to get relief. It will take a long time to resolve spontaneously. You better go to an orthopedic and Chat Doctor. Hope you will be fine |
My sister had breast cancer it was 1 degree so the doctors decided to take her breast they sad that is the safest . They took her breast then she started the chemotherapy after that she did all the tests she has to do and shes taking hormones now but the problem now and because shes overseas its hard to do the radiotherapy they sd to her you have to do 1 month after the chemotherapy but she couldnt find any nearest appointment the gave her till May which is 6 month is it too late to do or not.R | Thanks for query. After mastectomy chemotherapy is to kill small metals which is spread and not detectable by routine scan. Radiotherapy is to burn cancer tissue around the resected area where chemotherapy does not reach as vessels are either ligated or cauterized during surgery. Basically this is the theme of treatment. So it is better to take radiotherapy .now it's all available even in small towns .It's never late.regards |
I was diagnosed several years ago with degenerative arthritis of the SI joints, bilaterally. My lower back/buttocks pain has increased significantly so my new doctor ordered a lumbar spine MRI. Does the lumbar spine MRI even show the SI joints? it appears to me that it stops at the L/S line and goes no further down into the sacro area, therefore this test isn t even really looking at the area which is causing my problem? | Dear Your concern is justified. Though lumbar spine MRI do not cover sacroiliac joint properly but in some sacroiliacs lumbar spine is also involved. MRI of lumbosacral spine in coronal section shows some imaging of sacroiliac joint. But best would be MRI lumbosacral spine with screening of sacroiliac joint. Best would be to consult your neurologist and discuss with all your records Hope information Is helpful God bless you good health |
I am into 3rd month after lunge surgery, I had stage 3 small cell cancer, surgically removed via 3 small incisions. my recovery is slowed down now because of enlarged liver, iam still on pain killers. tec 3 was on high doses of tramadol with accetiminephen.... I think its the accetimeniphen ,am I safe to stop pain relief? or switch to ibruprofen?? | Hello;Are you sure your tumor is small cell lung cancer? Because recommended treatment for small cell lung cancer is radiotherapy and chemotherapy not surgery. And are you receiving this treatment. Small cell lung cancer has high chance of spread to liver-have you undergone test like ultrasonography or CT scan of abdomen for test of liver? Regarding pain medication if your pain is well controlled you can stop tramadol/acetaminophen and switch to ibuprofen. Discuss with your oncologist regarding changing Chat Doctor. Regards |

Jaw hurts at the hinges, and I cannot open mouth much without severe pain. I also have rheumatoid arthritis. Are they related, or would it be something else? I am not aware of any grinding of my teeth when I am asleep, so it is possible, but don t think so. | Hello, I read carefully your query and understand your concern. The jaw pain can be related to rheumatoid arthritis. I suggest to use anti-inflammatory medications such as Ibuprofen to relieve the pain. If the symptoms continue you should see a rheumatologist for further treatment. The symptoms seem to be related to side effects of the energy Chat Doctor. Hope my answer was helpful.

Dear Doctor,My 5 month old baby has a red swollen lump on his arm. I noticed this after he recieved his DTaP/IPV/Hib jab about a week and a half ago but these were in his legs. I am wondering if this has affected the area where he had a hepatitus B injection at birth? The lump looks like a boil it is dark red and is swollen. It has not reduced in shape or size over the last few days. Thank you. Rebecca. | Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor. I am Chat Doctor. I have red your question and I can understand your concerns. Is your child running temperature.? Are you or your child diabetic.? Were proper antiseptic measures applied while vaccinating your child.??

I believe my 2 year old son has some type of allergic reaction to mosquito bites. Once bitten he gets these oversize lumps that takes days to go down and normally leaves dark committed scars in the area. I m concerned today bc he has a lump behind his right ear and I can t tell if it s from being bitten or the result of the ear infection and cold he was diagnosed with last week. | HI, Welcome to Chat Doctor with your query. Confirm the diagnosis before the Treatment Planning-By the facts of your query, In my opinion, you seem to have Post-auricular lymphadenitis from Ear infection after the Cold attack your baby-son got last week. Treatment-Antibiotics/anti-inflammatory treatment from your doctor, if responded would confirm the infective cause of it.Non-response would need Second opinion from ENT Surgeon who would direct further treatment after proper examination and investigations, accordingly. But don't worry as it is not Cancerous and Could be treated by -Surgical Excision with Biopsy, which would confirm further treatment line. Hope this would help you to plan treatment with your doctor.

My daughter is 13 years old and the other day at gymnastics, she came out out of breath, saying her heart was pounding and that her vision was going in and out. She said it was very hot in the gym. She settled down after awhile. It just happened again, without the heart pounding, but her stomach was hurting. What could this be? She has not started her period yet. | Hello, Regarding your concern, I would explain that her symptoms could be related to low blood pressure or a panic attack. Coming to this point, I would recommend to closely monitor her blood pressure values and performing some blood lab tests (complete blood count for anemia, fasting glucose for hypoglycemia, thyroid hormone levels for thyroid gland dysfunction, blood electrolytes for electrolyte imbalance). You should discuss with her doctor on the above tests. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. |
i am a man of 43yrs,11months ago i was diagonised to have severe oligospermia,4 months later it became cryptozospermia.my fsh 20.4ng,lh 10.6 testoterone 2.1. ecosonography revealed small testis,with cyst and calsification at head,tail and body of left epididymis,and small cyst at the head of the right one.i stopped all medications and after 3months result read azospermia,fsh 20.4,lh 6.4,testosterone 1.9,csyst increased in size.am confused and we are trying to concieve.what your humble suggestion pls | HelloThanks for query. Based on the facts that you have stated your Azospermia is not related to FSH or Testosterone levels. It is basically due to pathology of the both the testicles and epididymis. In a given situation there is no ray of hope to improve quantity of sperms in semen and having normal and natural conception. You need to consult qualified Infertility specialist for clinical assessment and to confirm whether testicles are producing sperms or not? If there is production of sperms by testicles he may suggest you to go for In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) or CSI by using sperm being aspirated (Sperm Aspiration) directly from the testis.

Steam inhalation will be help full, Nebulization with bronchodilators helps a lot in reliving the congestion.

Hello, I am 16 years of age and I have extremely crowded teeth, I have been waiting for braces since the age of 10 and due to switching dentists this problem has not been resolved. For 5 years now i have also been having problems with my jaw, for the first two years it was constantly clicking as i ate or talked but now it is completely locked which is extremely uncomfortable and irritating. I also have quite a large overbite, It has knocked my confidence allot but nothing is being done about it, what should I do? | Hello thank you for consulting with us, as you have mentioned that you have the problem of crowding of teeth, and you also have this problem of clicking of joint of jaws, it means that because of crowding of teeth you have improper closing of jaws which is creating problem in the joints. For this problem you should consult a good orthodontist, if you will see is your jaw size is small, in that case he will get some teeth removed and a fixed brace then you will be fine. And for the problem of clicking once your problem of improper closing is solved most probably it will be relieved. |

I have a few questions Did she hit her head against anything when she fainted ? Did she have abnormal movement of her limbs when she fainted Another possibility being a seizure So I suggest if there is a recurrence then you need to get her evaluated. She will need a complete thorough evaluation to find out the exact cause in case of a recurrence she will need an EEG to find out if it could be seizure activity |
Hello I am almost 18 years old and I think I may have COPD because I feel short of breath. It all happened at a friends house about 5 years ago and suddenly when I came home an hour later I lost my voice and got a chest infection. then It never stopped I still feel short of breath. Back then all my friends parents pretty much smoked. Ive had this for a long time. I do not feel fatigued or had any chest pains. I went over there everyday after school. Stayed for a few hours and left. Will I die? I m rather worried. | Hi COPD/chronic obstructive pulmonary disease has 2 main forms |
HELLO. I HAVE A HISTORY OF A BILATERAL PE. I WAS HOSPITALIZED FOR IT LAST YEAR IN JULY. I HAVE BEEN HAVING CHEST PAINS SINCE. I WENT TO A CARDIOLOGIST, BUT HE DIDN T FIND ANYTHING WRONG. RECENTLY I WAS TOLD THAT I HAVE HIGH CHOLESTEROL. IVE BEEN HAVING MORE CHEST PAIN MORE FREQUENT, WITH PAIN ALSO IN MY NECK. | Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. In my opinion you are at high risk for heart disease so better to rule out this first. Risk factors in your case are1. High cholesterol2. Past history of pulmonary embolism. 3. Constant chest pain. So get done 2D ECHO and TMT (Trade Mill Test) to rule out cardiac cause. If these are normal than you may have worsening pulmonary embolism and due to this pulmonary infarction and chest pain. So get done CT PULMONARY ANGIOGRAPHY to rule out chronic PE. |
I have been having pain and diagnosed with cervical radiculopathy. I am having pain constantly on my right side neck, head, and shoulder area and sometimes radiating down my arm and legs. I have not been able to work. I am going to see a Neurologist. I am wondering how long will I be out of work. | Hi, There's really no telling without an examination how long you will be sidelined from anything because its entirely dependent the cause of the problem and what can be done to fix it such as therapy, surgery, medication, etc. After the visit with your neurologist, you will be able to ask that same question and get a much more refined answer since they will know how this all came to be and what the recommendations will be to get you better....this might include a reduction in your work duties as opposed to having to be absent. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. |
Hi there. I had my tubes tied and burned 19 years ago obviously thinking I was going to live with my childs father forever. Didnt turn out that way and now I am interested in having another child at 41 years old. My question is, is this possible? I am certain my tubes were burned at the top if that makes any kind of a difference. Price is a factor as well if this is possible, what kind of price rage would I be looking at, ballpark. Please help. Thank you for your time. | Dear member, Thanks for writing to Chat Doctor. A diagnostic laparoscopy with dye test Will tell whether the tubes have been damaged. Laparoscopic. Recalculation can be done if tubal damage is minimal. Otherwise I V F(invited fertilization) is recommended. As you are 41 it is also recommended that detailed investigation have to be done to check whether your body is fit for future pregnancy. Thanks. Chat Doctor. |
Hi, Im a female. I have hepatitis b. Actually I dont have the virus yet. I mean my body is still fighting for it. In future, I wont get the virus at all as my doctor told me. It will always fight for it, and it is like 5%-10% germs. I know I cannot share my food, or kiss anyone. However; according to sex, I have a few questions. Can I do a blowjob with my partner? And can he do an oral sex with me, such as licking my private? Will he get it? Im just concerned, becuase I dont want him to get it from me. | Hello, I have read your questions and can understand your concerns. Hepatitis B is too easy to transmit sexually. The virus mainly transmits through infected persons vaginal secretions, saliva and semen and blood. Oral sex is one of the highly possible ways of transmitting the virus. So I feel sorry to inform you that oral sex is not a good idea, and you should refrain from it until your consulting physician gives you clean chit from being a carrier of the virus. Giving your partner oral sex may transmit the virus through your saliva, and if he gives you oral sex, then you can transmit it through vaginal secretions. However, hugging, holding hands and Chat Doctor. Deep kissing transmits virus through saliva, so you should refrain from it. I hope this information helps. Thank you for choosing Chat Doctor. Best, |
SIR, I HAD AN ACCIDENT LAST YEAR(14/08/2010). IT WAS A FREE FALL ON MARBLE EDGE WITH MY BACK THAT CAUSED ME FRACTURE OF L3, L4, L5 AND D12. HOWEVER I WAS BEDRIDDEN FOR 45 DAYS AS PER DOCTORS ADVICE, AFTER THAT I UNDERWENT PHYSIOTHRAPY BUT NOT RELIVED COMPLETELY. WHAT SHOULD I DO? I FEEL STIFFNESS IN MY BACK AND UNABLE TO SIT FOR LONG. | Fractures are of various types. Difficult to decide here by your information. If there is no loss of power or sensation in your legs, no problem with urination or passing stools and a standing g x Ray shows stability, then you need to do gradually increasing physiotherapy and give around 4-6 weeks for it to heal and get better. I would suggest you to see a spine surgeon for evaluation and follow from there. |
I m 54 years old male. As per echocardiography report and blood examination report, mild pulmonary HTN, Mild TR and PR, Grade I LV Diastolic dysfunction & SGPT(ALT) pt value 92, S. calcium pt value 8.7 and Triglycerides pt value 192 have been detected. Dr has prescribed me Almox 500 capsule, Cipcal 500, nexpro-40,lipicard-160, synclar 500, cardace and ursodial tab usp 500 for 15 days. When I takes the drug above, I don t feel well, so can you tell me what the drugs prescribed me are correct and no over dose. | Hello.... You mentioned your investigation reports, but you did not mention your complaints. First, always remember that `treat the patient not the investigation`. Firstly your Echocardiography report is not significant. At the age of 54, mild PHTN, mild TR, mild PR, and grade I diastolic dysfunction is common so nothing worry about it. But kindly check your blood pressure also. Second, your blood report are also insignificant. ALT is minimally significant but TG level and Calcium is normal. So don't worry about your blood report also. Those medicines you mentioned here is not appropriate for you. You are taking too much of medicines without any reason. Kindly stop all medicines. If you are hypertensive and alcoholic then please stop alcohol and start taking only Candace of hypertension and Fenofibrate for borderline Triglyceride level. With these medicines, kindly concentrate on physical exercises with dietary modification and avoid oily and Junk foods. Thank You |
I had a hida scan and my results was my gallbladder is functioning at 25%. I declined to go to a surgeon because I was informed a normal gallbladder functions at 35% or more. My thought was my ejection fraction was a high abnormal so I shouldn t immediately assume my gallbladder needs to be removed. I can go days/weeks without any attacks but when I have one they are severe. What is the pros/cons in waiting until the attacks are more frequent? | Hi.noted history of gallbladder pathology. If it is secondary to gallstones and your symptoms are occurring frequently and increasing in severity, it is best if you consult with a doctor, preferably a general surgeon, for physical examination and clinical evaluation. What you have is chronic cholecystitis, probably secondary to cholelithiasis (gallstones). The most important thing to take note here is that an elective or scheduled cholecystectomy has better post-operative outcomes and less risk of developing complications as compared to the one done emergently. Diagnostics (such as ultrasound, liver function tests, blood count, etc.) and management (medical and surgical) will be directed accordingly. Definitive treatment for gallstones is cholecystectomy or surgical removal of the gallbladder along with the stones. It can be done laparoscopically (gold standard) or through open technique. Low fat diet is also recommended. Hope this helps. Good day!!~ Chat Doctor. |
I m having these deep, somewhat sharp pains on the left side that feel like they re deep behind my clavicle maybe three inches from midline. It s been hurting for a few months on and off and is exacerbated by exercise involving the chest muscles and deltoids, as well as raising my arms overhead. I also feel a clicking when doing exercise like a chest press of flyers (like bones are clicking against each other). The pain feels pretty specific to this area, but also feels like my neck and shoulder are involved. Many mornings I have awakened with stiffness in that shoulder and neck as well as an large increase in pain; some mornings I have awakened with numbers in my left hand that feels less like a nerve impingement and more like a blood vessel blockage (when I reposition and go through ROM movements, it actually feels like blood is returning to my arm and hand). Do you have any ideas what it could be? | Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. By your history and description, in my opinion you are mostly having musculoskeletal painting due to exercise. Do better to avoid strenuous exercise and heavy weight lifting. Avoid bad postures in sleep and movements causing pain. Apply warm water pad on affected site. You may require painkiller and muscle relaxant Chat Doctor. Don't worry, you will improve by all these. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks. |
My mother is diagnosed with endmeterium carcinoma 4 th stage. She currently undergone 3 chemo cycles. However, doctor are saying that cells are chemo resistant and need radiation etc. I am planning to take her to one of Bangalore hospital for further treatment. Due to chemo, she has general weakness and loose motion. Could advise me a medicine for loose motion for cancer patient ? She has loose stools from 2 days now and I have given her eldoper 3 times but it seems to be not working. Thanks, Raju | Hello, If the cancer is chemoresistant then I advise you to try radiation since endometrial cancers can often BR responsive to radiation. The diarrhea may be due to an infection because of lowered immunity as a result of the chemotherapy. Giving Elder can worsen the condition, if the diarrhea is due to infection. She might need an extensive course of antibiotics. You might have to get her admitted in a hospital and get a stool culture done to find the right antibiotics for her infection. Hope she improves. |
I live in south FW aqnd am seeing a therapist. Many of my problems have arisen from the problems associated from my 30 year old son who lives in Weatherford. After many months of talking about many of the problems, she suggested that he get help from a psychologist/therapist. She feels Borderline Personality woiuld be a starting point since he matches so many of the criteria. I am also looking for someone who does Dialectical Behavioral Therapy. He needs help as soon as possible. Can you or someone you know help? | Hello, Thanks for choosing Chat Doctor for posting your query. I have gone through your question in detail and I can understand what you are going through. Borderline personality disorder does need dialectical behavioral therapy. You may contact your general practitioner who can guide you to a psychiatrist who does the DBT. Not all psychiatrists do DBT. Hence, your GP would be the best person to have this knowledge that who does the DBT in your area. Hope I am able to answer your concerns. If you have any further query, I would be glad to help you.

hi dr robert, thank you for taking your valua able time off to answer my question, i am 55 years young and today my doctor prescribed medicen novasc amlong 5mg for my high blood, as i am still working and it require me to be outdoor and driving i need to know the side effect if any when taking this medicen please | Hello, Any blood pressure medicine may lower the blood pressure too much and people may feel faint. The only way to try to minimize this is exactly like your doctor did go with ONE medicine at a time and at a low dose and seeing if it is enough in a few days to a week. Novas has only one frequent side effect otherwise which is it working by opening up the vessels and the blood can fall to the feet and cause puffy ankles. This is not all that serious of a symptom. It's a pretty good and safe and effective medicine. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Chat Doctor. |
hello,sir first i got pain in back,i went to my native place and consulted my doctor,he said that i have oesophagitis and he prescribed me the rabiprazole.i used that and stayed there for 1week.after that i came to my workplace.again pain started if atmospheric changes can affect gastric people or due to bus journey,dont know what to do,is this pain harmful? | Hi, thanks for posting the concern in Chat Doctor. My understanding is esophagitis may produce similar symptoms. However, other causes should be excluded too. I need to know whether the diagnosis provided by your doctor was only provisional, i. e based on history and clinical examination only or you had specific tests done to confirm the same. If you have not done any test, other causes should be ruled by relevant investigations, e.g. Complete blood count, urea, creatinine, LFT, amylase, lipase USG whole abdomen Stool for routine examination Upper GI endoscopy Till the completion of the tests, you can continue with Rabeprazole-levosulpiride combination e.g. Tab Habitat XL one tab once daily before breakfast. After having the test reports, you can write back or consult your local gastroenterologist immediately. For any further information, please write back to me. Regards |
i m a girl of age 20,i had a sex last month..with my bf..we do had safe sex and do used condom...but last week ,i didnt get my mc properly on time ..only liitle blood came on starting day of my mc peiod but on the rest days..there is no blooding..i m very tense....am i get pregnant...and tell me what to do for avoiding pregnancy now....plz reply... | Hi, You did not mention on which date you had sex. Was it in the last week of your menstrual cycle? The first and the last week of your menstrual cycle are safe periods. Sex done during that period does not cause pregnancy. Condom is a reasonably safe contraceptive method. It has a typical failure rate of 18% (of 100 partners using this method 18 women get pregnant in one year). Since you say that your period was very light do a pregnancy test first. That will make things clear.

im 26 have pains that come and go in my left shoulder. i suffer with palpitations but am not having any at present or with the pain. the pain in shoulder doesnt happen if i move it comes on its own. could it be cardiac? it can shoot in my shoulder and it can be very sharp and painful | Hi, Cardiac pain is exertional and occur during exercise or exertion. It is diffused in nature and can not be localized. Therefore, the Pain you are having seems unlikely to be of cardiac origin. Palpitations can be cardiac related. I'll advise you to get an ECG done at the time of these palpitations and a 2D Echo to rule out any possible cardiac related abnormality. Cardiac arrest means stoppage of heart and a person with cardiac arrest does not write a question by himself. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. |
My brother had his gall bladder removed a week ago. He is in ICU now with a blood infection and internal bleeding . Doctors haven t been able to determine the source of the internal bleeding. They are running tests. In the meantime, he s on a sedative , blood pressure medication, antibiotic. sodium chloride and dextrose. They will run more tests. They suspect there may be some damage to his kidney, liveer, and think he had a mild heart attack. What s his prognosis? | Hi ad welcome to Chat Doctor. I am sorry that it happened, It is not common after such procedure, but complications are always possible. In this situation there is a rule |
Ive had a respirator infection for about a week and have been coughing a lot. All of a sudden today I noticed a spot on my lower right abdomen (to the right of the pubic bone) that is very tender to the touch and hurts when I cough....is it a strain or could I have given myself a hernia? What do I do? | Hi and thank you so much for this query. I am so sorry to hear about abdominal pains. Coughing often requires the support of most of the abdominal muscles and this could be as a result of the strain. Hernias would generally not pain unless they get complicated and the pain would be constant and not related to cough. I think it is more related to strain. Take pain medications and should the pains persist or worsen, I will suggest you visit a doctor for further evaluation. Have you been evaluated for this cough? I hope this helps. I wish you well. Feel free to ask for more information and clarification if need be, and I will gladly respond to. |
I went to the Dr. yesterday and was diagnosed with bronchitis. I was put on Omnicef 300mg 2 capsules a day and 2 squirts of Symbicort twice a day. Today I started wheezing so the Dr. called me in a 6 day dosage of 10 mg Prednisone. I didnt get the prescription until about 5 | Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Dose of prednisone is 1 mg/kg /day. So usually we give 60\u00a0mg per day in divided doses. So you should take 2 tablets in the morning after breakfast, 1 tablet after lunch, 1 tablet after evening snacks and 2 tablets after dinner. For today, you should take 2 tablets now and 2 tablets after dinner. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks. |
hello, I am 30 years old and I have an aprox. golf ball sized lump inside the center of back neck at hairline, it hurts when I move my neck looking up more than anything, I am also an x-smoker just recently noticed the lump and stopped smoking since. MRI did not show anything and I have CT w/contrast done today would anyone know what it might be, thanks in advance | Hello! Thank you for the query. MRI or CT are usually not necessary to diagnose a lump in such location. Ultrasound is far enough to diagnose it. Such lump can be a sebaceous cyst, lipoma or enlarged lymph node. Cyst or lipoma are benign lesions which do not lead to a cancer and can be removed with small incision. Enlarged lymph node can be caused by some inflammation or a cancer (throat or larynx cancer is usually caused by smoking and can give such symptom). I suggest you to have an ultrasound of this area. In case of lymph node biopsy should be considered. You should also consult palynologist and pulmonologist. Hope this will help. Regards. |
Hi, wondering whether or not you think its possible my pregnancy is still viable? Ive neever had any real symptoms other than going to the toilet more. My LMP was 22 October, I did my first pregnancy test on 26th December, strong positive, did another one one new years eve with a clearblue test and it said 1-2 weeks pregnant and said to add 2 weeks on for how doctor would date it. Did yet another test due to no symptoms on 14th January which said 3+ weeks and again to add 2 weeks for doctors dates. I paid for a private scan on the 21st January and they believed by the size it was only 5 weeks 3 days, 10days on and still no crmaping,no bleeding and no symptoms? | Hello, and I hope I can help you today. There are two possibilities of what could be going on with your pregnancy. If you really did conceive back in October, your pregnancy should be about 12 weeks. This would have been found on the ultrasound examination that you had, but instead the fetus measured only five weeks three days. At five weeks it is not normal to see fetal heartbeat so that is not used in the consideration to make a diagnosis. However, it is possible that you conceived later in the cycle after your. In October. If you actually conceived in late November early December it is still possible that the fetus could be viable and that is just younger than it should be by your dates. So the way to tell the difference would be to get another ultrasound examination and approximately two weeks; by then you should see some evidence of the fetal heartbeat if the pregnancy is normal. Contrary to popular belief, the majority of women do not have pregnancy symptoms. The most reliable sign of pregnancy is a missed menstrual cycle. Furthermore, judging the number of weeks of pregnancy on a urine tests is extremely inaccurate. Pregnancy tests are designed to pick up the hormone Chat Doctor from that whicChatDoctores out in your urine. However, your urine can be diluted by different amounts of water depending upon what time in the day you tested and how much water you Chat Doctor. Most urine pregnancy tests ask that you use your first morning urine, which has the most concentrated sample, however, even within those restrictions there is a large margin of error. So I would advise, in your situation, that you repeat the ultrasound examination in another 2 to 3 weeks. In the meantime take good care of yourself for the pregnancy by |
Hey so three years I ago I had a outbreak of herpes simplex one for the first time, and I recently just had another outbreak on my lip and I was very cautious about touching my penis without washing my hands, I masturbated, but washed my hands before and after and I washed my penis in soap afterwards. Just a day ago I started getting this pain kind of like a cold sore in the left side of my shaft but I m wondering if it could be my antibodies fighting off the infection or the infection coming on, I have no signs of blister or anything in that matter. Can someone help me please! | Hello, I understand your concern. I am Chat Doctor, infectious diseases specialist, answering your query. In my opinion it is not Harper it is likely to be something else. There are two types of herpes virus causing herpes simplex infection. HSV 1 and HSV 2. Infection caused above the waist is caused by HSV 1 and below the waist is HSV 2. As both the virus are different there is minimum chance of infection at penis. But it can be different infection. Visual examination can help for further diagnosis and management. You can either investigate yourself at nearby doctor or you can send me photograph to help you further. I will be happy to answer your further concern, you can ask me on bit.ly/ Chat Doctor. Thank you. ChatDoctorInfectious diseases specialist. |
Hi there, this is kind of going to be all over the place but here are my symptoms... Im in birth control, although I occasionally forget a day or two and use o other form of contraceptive.All of this has been this month.Sex on 1st or 3rd, probably the thirdPeriod started 4th or 5thWas very short Ended on the 9th I thinkNext day had light pink discharge which turned brown and then kind of red and bloody and smelled bad, lots of clots11th the brown discharge came and went thought out the day, still smelled, 12th nothing all day then started cramping really bad around 730 and ended up having a pinkish red discharge again and one little clot.Today, the 13th Ive had a terrible headache, almost no appetite, and bad cramping and general abdominal pain. A kind of bloody taste in my mouth as wellIve also been sleeping much more lately and can hardly stay awake during the day. Been having some light nosebleeds too. And almost daily headaches. My weight has fluctuated a few pounds, but thats pretty normal for me I guess.From this information do you think I could be pregnant by any chance? | Hi, Thanks for sharing your health concern with us. Well, with the description of your clinical picture, it is more likely that you are experiencing some hormone imbalance and pregnancy is a remote possibility. This is because you had intercourse just around your menstrual period which is considered the safe period, even if you had some breakthrough ovulation due to irregular pill use. I would ask you to get a proper clinical evaluation, get a sonogram of the pelvis and a blood test for pregnancy to help plan further management. Hope your query has been answered. Wish you good health. |
i have an 11 year old daughter that has been complaining of stomach pain on and off for the last year. her ankles cause her a lot of pain. she was told she has tendonitis, now the other ankle is bothering her. she also complains of shortness of breath. are the symptoms related? should she have some lab work done. her ankles have been exrayed and nothing showed up. | Hello, Thanks for the query to Chat Doctor. Forum. Pain in her ankle joint was due to RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS & now pain is in the other ankle joint. This is an indication (pain in other joint) that your daughter has rheumatoid arthritis. Now your query is that she has trouble in breathing (short breath). History of illness is somewhat clear. Begin with strep throat in first phase, that passed due to carelessness. 2nd step was involvement of joint and 3rd step was involvement of heart (breathing). Now please consult a physician at once and get in blood examination for C B C, E S R, Rheumatoid factor, echo of heart, Doppler of heart, to rule our any further damage. Good luck. |
I started taking care of my two month grandson last week. I developed severe pain in right hip and thigh at bedtime. I can function during day but when I go to sleep I wake up with unbearable pain that takes me to tears. Is it a pinched nerve or pulled muscle? I dont even want to go to bed knowing I will wake with this horrible pain. | Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns. In my opinion that is a kind of muscular spasm or a mild sigh of sciatica a kind of spinal neurovascular bundle herniation diagnosed by X-rays and/or MRI, anyway it may resolve simultaneously or with some relaxation in your case, hot foments with physiotherapy, massages with topical gels containing muscle relaxants, painkiller like NSAIDs (Advil), multivitamins will help for moderate cases epidural steroid injections. For severe cases minor endoscopic or even surgical microdiscectomy may be suggested by your neurologist. Please consider a 5-star rating with some positive feedback if the information was helpful. Hope the above information helps you. Any further clarifications feel free to ask. |
Hi, I collapsed while setting off for a jog (I was only about 5 houses away from my house/on the same street) when my heart thudded and my legs went from underneath me and I collapsed to the floor. The next thing I knew I was on the ground. Is this just caused by hyperventillation or is more significant? Ive also had extrasystolies | Hello, Here we need to evaluate for the cause. Do you have any other disease like any chest pain, or history of heart attack? Although hyperventilation is can cause these symptoms we still need to evaluate the cause. For this you'll need one holder monitoring. If its showing some abnormalities then further test will be guided accordingly. Also, are you taking any Chat Doctor. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. |
im 36 had surgery for pectus excavatum when i was around 5 yrs old. i am verry short winded. im concerned about my heart and lungs, i get worn out very fast. i cant even keep up with my children. i cant play with them and have to make excuses because i get winded so fast. i push my self to keep up, but im afraid my heart is gonna exploid. will my heart last? | Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. By your history I think you are having uncorrected rectus excavated. It Is a kind of rib cage anomaly. With age this anomaly can cause restrictive lung disease. In these lungs are restricted to expand due to rib cage anomaly. So lungs become weak and it further damages heart. So right sided heart failure with cor pulmonale and pulmonary hypertension can be seen in these patients. Better to consult pulmonologist and get done PFT (Pulmonary Function Test) and 2D Echo to rule out all these. Start chest physiotherapy and deep breathing exercise. |
Hi,I went to the dentist to have a tooth removed.After the surgery, the dentist gave me an injection in my right arm, probably for the pain.It made the injection site swell and become hard.Its been 2 weeks now and the site is still swollen and hard.Whats the cause of this and what can I do | Hi. Thanks for the query. As per your complaint swelling around the injection site that has become hard can be most probably due to accumulation of blood under the skin due to broken blood vessel. At times there is Hematoma formation that can take even months to resolve. Hematoma is a harmless tumor like mass formed due to spillage of blood from ruptured blood vessels leading to accumulation of blood into the soft tissues forming a lump. I would suggest you to do alternate warm and cool compresses over the swelling. Take pain relievers like Ibuprofen as they also have anti-inflammatory action. Keep moving the arm to avoid stiffness. In case if there is no improvement in another 115 says or if the symptoms worsen consult a Local Physician and get evaluated. Hope this information helps. Regards. |
Im not sure why, but for a really long time Ive been having some sort of panic to flex certain muscles until they feel right. Im not sure how to describe feel right however its really bugging me now and it just happens and I dont even notice it. Do I have some sort or ocd or tourettes syndrome? | Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Random muscle twitching is commonly seen with stress and anxiety. But better to first rule out calcium and vitamin D 3 deficiencies. So get done serum calcium and vitamin D 3 levels and if Deficiency than you will need supplements. If levels are normal then stress, anxiety (OCD) related muscle twitching is more likely. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks. |

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have nausea, vomiting and joint pain all over body. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like food poisoning, diabetic ketoacidosis, gastroenteritis or peripheral neuropathy.

I am trying to learn self hypnosis and meditation since last 3 years but still I am not expert in doing this.I know that if some one hypnotize me and say \"whenever you say READY in your mind, you will instantly go in deep trance and now whatever you say in your mind will go to your unconscious mind\" then this will really work. I have tested it with my friend and brother by hypnotizing them.But there is no one here to hypnotize me to program my mind to do self hypnosis or meditation.I want someone to hypnotize me.Could you please help me to learn self hypnosis? | Hi dairy understand your concern. Hypnosis is unconscious process and only 6o % in the world hypnotize by someone. It is not possible to hypnotize everyone. And among them self hypnotize is so difficult because ewe know our thought processes and suggestion in them is difficult. So if you want to hypnotize then contact expert nearby. But self hypnotize is not possible in some extent. Still have a query then feel free to ask. Thank you. Take care. |
Please i want to know if i can conceive taking bromergon tablets and ikaclomin tablets. I had a miscarriage 3months ago. my doctor advised that i use 3months to recover. He gave me vitamins E and C tablets, cod liver oil, ferrous sulphate and folic acid all these tablets i have taken for 3months before he recommended the fertility drugs i mentioned in my first paragraph. Are the fertility drugs the right one for me to take. please reply. Nma | Hi, I think your serum prolactin level might be higher that's why Bremerton was given to you. It decreases the prolactin levels. High prolactin levels interfere with ovulation. Ikaclomin is a Chat Doctor. It increases the chance of pregnancy. You can track your follicles' growth by repeated ultrasound and when your follicles is more than 17 to 18 mm, take injection for rupturing the follicles. Be in contact with your husband for 2 to 3 days after injection. Take progesterone for next 2 weeks. Do a urine pregnancy test at home after that. You can try like that for 3 to 6 months. Hope I have answered your question. Regards |
Hi Gud evening Dr, My son is now 7.5 month old.His birth wt was 4.2 kilo and during 6th month he was 7.8 kilo.Is it fine ?am feeding him with formula and cerelac.He has more attraction towards chicken as when we eat he used to struggle and have it again and again.Is it ok to give 2-3 spoon of minced chicken?Regarding egg yolk how i should give? | Hi,Non-vegetarian items can be well introduced into diet of a 7.5 months old baby. Minced chicken, meat, egg all can be given alone, or used while preparing other items. But take care to introduce one by one at a gap of 1-2 weeks in between, so that babies tolerance to a particular item is ensured. For cow milk, it is better to wait till 1 year of age. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further. |

I have noticed that when I listen with my ear I can feel her heart pushing at the side of my face but when I try to feel for it with my fingers / hand...I cant feel anything? Is this normal and where is the best place to feel her heart? Thanks. | Hello! Welcome on Chat Doctor! Regarding you are concern, I would explain that what you have experienced trying to catch hear heart beats is quite normal, nothing to concern about.

Sometimes, heart bump may b easily palpated around this area but is quite variable depending on anatomical variants (difficult in large volume breast, etc.) Hope this will clarify your concern! Kind regards, |

Hello, my son is a year old. we just went on a weekend vacation (9 hr car ride) last night he started having diarreah. This morning we gave him some red gatorade then quite a few hours later he pooped a liquidy-red (bright red) and it smelled horrible. PLEASE help me.. I dont know if that gatorade did this or not | Hi... Thank you for consulting in Chat Doctor. It seems your kid is having viral diarrhea. Once it starts it will take 5-7 days to completely get better. Unless the kids having low urine output or very dull or excessively sleepy or blood in motion or green bilious vomiting...you need not worry. There is no need to use antibiotics unless there is blood in the motion. Antibiotics might worsen if unnecessarily used causing antibiotic associated diarrhea. I suggest you use zinc supplements (Z&D Chat Doctor. |
My 6 month old has bad eczema on his face (cheeks, forehead, eyebrows). He is wearing mittens but he rubs his face so much I m scared to put anything on it. I do my best to make sure he doesn t get it in his eyes or mouth. Are Johnsons natural safe and Gentle Naturals baby eczema cream safe if ingested or rubbed into his eyes? | Hi... I sympathize with the kid and understand your concern. By what you quote I feel that it could be eczema. The trick of the management is keeping the skin moist and never allowing it to be Chat Doctor. For this oil massage and lotions like Hiatus will help. Regarding cure options - eczema is a sort of allergy...allergies can only be controlled and can never be cured. But usually kids grow out of it...that is as the age progresses, they become better starting from 6 months.They are safe even if ingested or rubbed into eyes - don't worry. Hope my answer was helpful for you. I am happy to help any time. Further clarifications and consultations on Chat Doctor are welcome. If you do not have any clarifications, you can close the discussion and rate the answer. Wish your kid good health. |
Hello The top of my stomach/under my ribs is tight, the tightness hasnt change for over 24/hrs ??its not to painful but very annoying ive been feeling sick and not sleeping very well, i feel warm but im cold and im slightly dizzy ??? thank you | Hello! Thank you for the query. Such tightness can be caused by stomach issues, gallstones, pancreas inflammation or just some mild food poisoning. As you have also dizziness and warm feeling, some inflammatory process can be the reason. If your pain radiates to the back, gallbladder inflammation or pancreas inflammation can be the reason. You should also have nausea with these issues. If you have diarrhea, food poisoning it is. If the pain is dull and localized in the center, stomach issues are the most probable reason. I suggest you to consult your doctor. Blood work, abdominal ultrasound, liver tests and pancreas tests should be done. Hope this will help. Regards. |

I can understand your concern. You may have some benign cyst lie Catholic cyst or some soft tissue tumor arising from vagina or vulva. Chances of cancer are less likely. Still you should go for biopsy of that lump. It will give you exact diagnosis. Then you should take treatment accordingly.
