am a 39 year old male and keep on crying and cant relax my moods keep on changing one minute feel fine next minute snap am like a jackyl and hyde feel like i am leeting everyone down work shifts as a fll time carer and worry alot what can i do to make me feel better, have been to couselling but been told cant help me no more. | Degree understand your concerns went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. You have to understand yourself first. Are you really unable to correct your behavior? Are you employed? During work, do you have these mood change problems? If the counselor cannot help you, then the counselor is totally wrong. A counselor, if it feels that he cannot help a case, he is supposed to get professional help by referring to psychologist / psychiatrist. I think the counselor you met has no professional capability. Any way, you should consult a psychologist / psychiatrist to get diagnosed and to start proper treatment. If you require more of my help in this aspect, Please post a direct question to me in this URL. http |
My son is 11 yrs old and has complained twice over the past two days of having blackened vision for short bursts of time (3-4 sec) as he describes it. He also indicates he looses orientation and for slpit moment does not know where or why he is in the place that he is? Can you please advise me? Thank you Rene Calafato | Blackened vision for short period of time it can be an emergency, serious causes and disorders can do this, and the fact he feels disoriented too is a red flag. A detailed history and complete physical exam and possible imaging is warranted I highly recommend visiting his doctor as soon as possible to role out TIA (transient ischemic attacks) , it's rare in child Chat Doctor. Another neurological disorder to worry about is narcolepsy apoplexy disorder, in which the child seems to black out and loss his tone and never recall it, which can present it your children case.

Doctor, my neighbour had swallowed a large quantity of Lysol floor cleaner yesterday night. She was immediately made to drink huge quantity of water and was made to vomit repeatedly. What other measures should be taken? How dangerous could this be in the long run? | Hello. Thank you for posting your query. If you consume floor cleaner by accident, it can be a serious life-threatening condition since it can cause metabolic acidosis, can lead to liver failure, and in some cases' encephalopathy. It is better to take her to the ER to get the blood tests done, just to make sure everything is fine with her. It can even act as an irritant and lead to problems like esophagitis. I appreciate you helped her and made her vomit immediately, but it is advisable to take her to the ER. The effects are all short term, and nothing can happen in long run. Feel free to discuss further, Regards |

hi i have to go into hospital for a potassium check as i have low potassium i was just wondering what level should my potassium be at so i dont have to go onto a drip and also how long does it take to get a potassium blood check in a hospital, how long does it take for the results to arrive back.thankyou | Hi, Thanks for asking. Based on your query, my opinion is as follows.1. The serum potassium levels should be above 3.5 MML/L to avoid Chat Doctor. It should be less than 5 MML/L always. The range is 3.5-5 MML/L2. Low potassium is known to myalgic, muscle cramps, abnormal heart rhythms, flaccid paralysis, constipation, etc. It needs to be corrected slowly, as increased potassium is much more dangerous.3. Potassium blood check up and results should be complete within an hour of you giving your sample to the lab.4. Take potassium rich food in diet like potato, banana, apricots, fish etc. to improve potassium. Diuretics commonly cause hypokalemia. Look into your medications. Hope it helps. Any further queries, happy to help again. |

Dear Sir/Madam, I m XXXXXX. I have been suffering from allergy specifically with pollen and dust since my childhood. For a long time i kept on understanding it some type of external disease which results in the formation of a lot phlegm , mucus, sputum and consulted various doctors. Buf after a detailed analysis it has been found that I have been suffering from very sever allergy. What is the best treatment for this? | Hello, Thank you for writing to us. As you now already know that you have severe pollen allergy, you must also know if that is tree pollen or grass pollen allergy. Depending on which part of the world you live, there are specific seasons when these pollen counts peak in the environment. You need to start taking long-acting antihistamines like Allegra 180\u00a0mg morning and levocetirizine 5\u00a0mg in the evening followed by Montelukast 10\u00a0mg at night. Alone nasal spray 1 spray per nostril once daily and/or Stalin inhaler when required. This should be started 1 month before the pollen season and continued throughout the season.1 in 5 people will fail the above optimal medical therapy and will need immunotherapy. This therapy involves giving low doses of the allergen either in the form of injections or Chat Doctor. Some practitioners lower the amount while in the season, while some do not. This lasts between 3 and 5 years. I hope this helps. Best Wishes. |
Hi Im a 22 year old woman, weight 110, body fat %19 below normal, and taking concerta. I sometimes have heart palpultations but main concern is by low blood pressure. A month ago it was 100/60 which is kind of normal for me but recently I was 87/50. Im just wondering if I should be alarmed or worried. | Hi, I understand your concern, as though you are young and skinny, so your blood pressure tends to be down. However, it must be confirmed whether the gauging technique is correct, if the device is calibrated properly, if the cuff has the width suitable regarding the circumference of your arm. All these parameters might incur wrong pressure readings down. In case your level of pressure is really low, we will have to check if the symptoms you are related reported low pressure or not. The most common cause of low pressure in young is vasovagal syncope. However, your description of the symptoms are not compatible with this clinical situation. If the low blood pressure is confirmed, I suggest you look for a Cardiologist for further investigation. I hope I have answered your question. In case of doubts, I am available for further questions. Have a good health. |
Hello, last summer I developed a few symptoms together. My upper lip swelled in the front(no sore, just swelling and irritation), my throat is very red, bumpy and irritated, and three canker sores on the inside of my mouth. After a week or so the canker sores healed and went away. My throat was irritated and continued to look bumpy and red for a couple months. Then winter came. My lip has remained swollen for about 8 months now and with the season turning and warmer weather coming around my throat is irritated again. This all developed after I kissed someone however after visiting a std clinic, an urgant care providor, and my primary physician I was reassured by all three that it is not an std. I was told by one that it was a viral infection and would clear up in a week or two and my primary physician told me it was allergies. Any Ideas? | Hello, I can understand your concern. Your symptoms do not suggest that you have any STD, thus you can stay relaxed about it. Your symptoms suggest more towards a viral infection, but as your doctor suggested, if it is a viral infection, it should resolve on its own in about a week and only supportive therapy related to symptoms might be needed. The persistent swelling for about 8 months seems to be an allergic reaction to a substance that you use routinely. However, in your case, it might be an allergic reaction along with the viral infection. I would recommend you to go for a blood test for allergy. It will suggest what substance you are allergic to so that you can avoid its exposure. After giving the blood for testing, you should start taking antihistamine such as Levocetrizine 5 mg (Exocet) or Loratadine 10 mg (Forfeits) once a day for about 10 days. If it will be an allergic reaction, the swelling should start to reduce or disappear. If that does not happen, then you should visit a dentist or oral and maxillofacial surgeon for examination of the lip and further investigations directed directly towards the lip swelling. Based on the results, diagnosis can be made and treatment can be advised. I hope this information helps. Thank you for choosing Chat Doctor. I wish you feel better soon. Best, |
I need to find a list of foods for Diabetics that are okay and a list of foods that you should avoid, so that I can print it out to go by. My husband has just been diagnosed with this. Can you tell me where I can go to find these list on the computer please. Thank you, Judith Shields | Hello, As a rule, the sweet foods are to be avoided .and no sweet food should be eaten in large quantity and not shared with any another sweet food as far as fruits are concerned eating whole fruit is much better than taking juice. If you Google for foods which are safe and which are bad for diabetics, you will get complete info on Google, take foods with low glycemic index. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. |
I am undergoing root canal treatment but the dentist said it has to be done in stages. So he drilled the tooth, removed what he described as dental caries and placed temporary filling. It led to pain and so went back to the dentist after 48hr. This time he removed the temporary filling, washed the teeth with chlorohexidine solution and placed yet again temporary filling. Within 8h of the procedure being performed I suffered agonising pain that is only relieved by ice-cold water next to the filling. It just after 4am here and no access to an emergency dentist. What can do other than constant ice cold water that needs replacing every 30sec? | Hi Dear, Welcome to Chat Doctor. Understanding your concern. As per your query you have severe tooth pain post root canal treatment. There is formation of the dental abscess due to accumulation of pus below the root tips of the tooth, which sometimes occur due to left over infection even after root canal. The pain after root canal can also occur due to traumatic injury or nerve injury. You should consult an Endodontist again and get evaluated and in case if there is infection. Doctor may irrigate the tooth for few days regularly and prescribe antibiotics along with anti-inflammatory. For now take ibuprofen or acetaminophen for pain and do warm saline rinses several times a day. Hope your concern has been resolved. Get Well Soon. Best Wishes, |
Ive been with my boyfriend for 2 years we are both over 40. I have had 2 children and Im his second girlfriend. I know he has masturbated alot. And the beginning of our relationship was fine and now he cant stay hard during sex nor could he ever last long. Im a hot 40 year old. I do all kinds of things to make things fun and interesting so Im not sure what is going on. | Thanks for contacting Chat Doctor with your medical concerns and questions. You are concerned that your boyfriend is having problems with erectile dysfunction and premature ejaculation. These are two common problems men face. This can be related to stress both positive and negative stress. If he is an anxious person then I recommend he find ways to relieve the anxiety wither through yoga, exercise or relaxation exercises. To help with medical aspect of erectile dysfunction I usually recommend seeing his doctor and getting a prescription to Viagra or similar medication. This will help him maintain erection and may improve his confidence. The premature ejaculation may improve just with being able to maintain erections. But if they do not then I recommend using condoms and special male lubricants that have mild desensitizing agents. This may allow for longer time before ejaculation. Then if that does not help then there are medications called SSRIs or fluoxetine that help with premature ejaculation. The SSRI may also help with anxiety and depressive symptoms if they occur. Hope this answers your question. Please contact us again with your medical concerns and questions |

I have a small little cut where the forskin connects to the penis And I have a white build up under the forskin that i have never had before its slimy and its all over the tip and other skin bellow (usally covered by the forskin) It covers the skin but rubs off and Im pretty sure its dead skin About a week ago is when i got the small cut/tear and its been very sore but has calmed down and has very little swelling but has seemed to swell abit lately. At first i had a few red spots on the tip under the skin but now i have red blotches and they arnt round actually they look like theyre the bits that the white skin has fallen off.My penis doesnt hurt apart from the sore forskin and sometimes during intercourse it stings a lot and a couole of days ago it would sting from just pulling the skin back But ive been with my girlfriend for 3 months and she is clean of any stds or STIs and i havnt had unprotected sex with anyone in well over a year. | Hi there, and thank you for your question. I can appreciate your concern regarding this issue and I'll try to help you were I can. Judging by the symptoms you have noted in your inquiry, it sounds as if you might have a fungal infection of the head of the penis. This condition is called fungal Atlantis and caused by the fungus Candida albicans. Now, candida is a normal fungus found in the vagina and is present to help with regulation of the normal organisms found there. If your girlfriend had a fungal infection (colloquially also known as yeast infection), then it could be a way that you have been infected with this fungus. It doesn't mean that your girlfriend gave you an STD but rather a common infection women get via the sexual intercourse route. You can ask your pharmacist for clotrimazole cream and apply it liberally to the head of the penis 2 times a day until the issues resolves or for a maximum of 14 days. Once the symptoms have resolved, then continue applying the cream for another three days to make sure you kill off all the fungal spores so that this issue doesn't recur. Before applying the cream, just make sure that you have cleared as much of the discharge from the head of the penis as possible. If the problem still persists then you should consult your doctor as you may need to have this condition treated with oral antifungal medication. I hope this helps and good luck. |
Hi, I am facing stomach pain problem from last couple of days. It is not continuous pain, but comes for 2-3 seconds. It is sharp pain in and slightly above the center. I had appdix surgery 10 years back, so that option is not there. I already too constipation and antigas tablets. No improvement. Please advice. | Hello! Welcome to Chat Doctor. Pain in the area above center as mentioned by you suggests acidity. Increase in acid secretion in stomach can be due to various reasons like consumption of hot/spicy food, late night meals, excessive stress, alcohol, non-vegetarian diet etc. So, the advice is to avoid these things. Consult your doctor for medicines like omeprazole, spy. Sucralfate. Hope this information is useful to you. Wish you a good health. Thanks. Regards. |
About a month ago I began getting a feeling on my back, right shoulder blade like an electrical current. It is quite annoying and I m not sure how to treat. About 12 years ago I had a neck fusion C-6 and C-7. What s going on? I am 60, work with special needs kids and stay active. Could it be that our freezing cold temps, for about a month, have something to do with this? Thank you. | Hello,First let me explain to you that a given medical symptom like yours could be due to various causes. Back pain and current like sensation could be due to spondylosis in the cervical spinal cord, or other causes (any tumor, declination, spinal cord problem) can cause similar symptoms. In old age this could be due to spondylosis. You need a detailed neurological examination in order to determine the exact neurological problem. The presence of current like sensation is a point of concern as it suggests that one structure in the spinal cord is being compressed. Hence, an urgent neurological evaluation will be required to be followed later by a repeat imaging and nerve conduction study (maybe optional depending upon the early evaluation). Your treatment will largely depend upon the cause. Hope this explanation will help you. Best wishes |
Hi iam 25 years old girl i had a unprocted sex on the 4th day of my mensuration yesterday , how can I avoid being pregnant with out using pills is their any home medicine , does it got pregnant having sex on 4th day of mensuration or not ?plz let me know and throw away my tension thank you ? | Hallow Dear, The egg is released 14 days prior to the next expected day of menstruation. Hence, considering your menstrual cycle to be of 28 days, it would be day 14 of the cycle (you can adjust the day according to your cycle periodicity). The egg has life of 24 hours while the sperms are active for 72 hours. Hence, the fertile period is about a week around the day of egg release, which would then be day 10 to day 18 of the cycle. Your had a sex on day 4 of your menstrual cycle which is far away room the fertile period. Hence, practically there is no possibility of egg being present on that day to cause pregnancy. For post-coital contraception, there are two scientific methods |

Hi. Ive been in and out of the er 5 times since march for LLQ pain. I had a partial hysterectomy in 1997 due to cervical cancer. Hx of right kidney stones. PID as a teenager and am 44 now. My first pregnancy was a miscarriage but had 2 healthy live births following. I am in relatively good health until this issue. They have found that I have a bleeding cyst on/and a stone in left kidney, a ovarian cyst on rt ovary (now gone), hemangionomas in my spine, several small cysts on my liver that have slightly increased in size since march, and severe constipation (I don t eat enough fruits, I do eat vegies). All these things, Ive been told, don t cause the pain I feel. Went to the er again last night and they found that I now have prominent left gonadal veins and parametrial veins which can be seen with pelvic congestion syndrome and can cause pain and multiple pelvic phleboliths . The pain has increased the last few days with increasing dizziness and nausea. Was sent home and told to contact a GYN. My GP is out of town til the 10th (I need a referral) and am becoming increasingly nauseous and dizzy. Am starting to feel like Im crazy but the pain is very real. Do you have any suggestions or ideas that may help me? Please. Thank you for your consideration, Jackie | HIT hank for asking to ChatDoctorI understand your problem, you really have multiple health issues and you're really fighting well with all of them, for your nausea and dizzy feel, If I would be your doctor then I would surely put you on the Tab. \"Triflupromezine\" three times in day this is the very old tested agent gives very good result if the patient have nausea and dizzy feel along with some functional problems try it have nice day. |

Hi ....I am xxxxxxx basically belongs from Sitapur, U.P.; I consults with lots of Doctors in last 15 yrs but didnt get any proper result, As per doctors detail my uterus and tubes are covered so not seen properly & in uterus some parts are blocked but my periods is normal. | Hello, thanks for using Chat Doctor I am afraid i don't seem to have understood what you reported was the doctors results.

Best regards Chat Doctor. |
i often find a tiny white patch on my right side of myt tongue exactly at the point where my tongue meets premolar teeth when jaws are closed. It goes away on its own and re appears. Its completely painless. Am worried that it would be cancer. Please do let me know what should be done | Hi, Thank you for the query. According to the history it could an ulcer which is painless caused by any irritant or sharp margins or cusps of the premolar teeth.

I can understand your concern. Yes, all these symptoms can be due to pneumonia. Other possibility is bronchitis. So better to consult pulmonologist and get done 1. Clinical examination of respiratory system 2. Chest x-ray 3. PUT (pulmonary function test). Chest x-ray is needed to rule out lung infection (pneumonia). PFT is needed to rule out bronchitis. On the basis of these reports, you may need antibiotic, inhaled bronchodilator and inhaled corticosteroids (ICS). Don't worry, with proper diagnosis and treatment, you will be alright. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks. |

Hello, Im a male 34 years old.I have a warm sensation in the left part of my chest.I had a very bad last week full of stress & anxiety at work.I have hypertension since 13 years & I take 1 (Concor 5 Film Coated tablet) each day at morning.My blood pressure was always perfect using Concor 5 (115/75).I never had such warm feeling before except when I forget to take the Concor 5 tablet in the morning.My blood pressure was unstable allover last week & mostly was (140/89) even with Concor 5.Now the work stress is a bit relived but blood pressure is (125/75) also with Concor 5.Would you please help me with that case. What could it be? | Hello, welcome to Chat Doctor, In my own practice, I have always preferred to have patients try lifestyle modification such as diet and exercise before starting medication. In many cases, when people are very committed to doing so, lifestyle modifications are enough to bring blood pressure down into a normal range. If you decide to go the lifestyle modification route, it would be a very good idea to get a consultation with a dietician/nutritionist. They can help you to know what food choices are best and how many calories. To start, please eliminate all added sugars such as in sodas. Also, when eating carboy Chat Doctor. |
hello Doctor iam a man, 25 years old, and weight of about 67KgI have Scabs on head, when i touches it to remove the dry skin over it, it releases watery fluids and after sometime it dries and look like a wound. its for a long time now about one year. i tried to use spirit and gentrisone tubes without success. | Hello. Thanks for writing to us at Chat Doctor The condition affecting the scalp is most likely seborrhea dermatitis, which is an inflammatory condition associated with yellowish, greasy scaling and crusting. The scale/crusts is usually adherent to skin and forceful removal would expose raw inflamed skin hence leading to oozing, which again Chat Doctor. If I was the treating doctor I would have asked you to use an OTC antifungal shampoo, daily or every alternate days, for scalp involvement. Mizoram is 2% ketoconazole and would be suitable. It is available OTC. You may also use a 5% certified based shampoo/scalp wash, once daily. Certified is antiseptic as well as antiseborrheic/degreasing agent and therefore would help to remove sticky discharge and as well as loosen up the crusts. It is also available OTC. Regards |

I am 6 weeks pregnant. I followed the directions for stouffers lasagna to keep the plastic film on until the last 10 minutes, but after the first 10 minutes I realized the smell of plastic in the apartment. I took off the film and put foil over it instead and opened the doors/window. Does this type of plastic cause birth defects if inhaled. Will my baby be okay? | Hello, and I hope I can help you today. A general guideline that is useful about pregnancy is to think of it as if regarding certain products fumes and other accidental exposures, if it doesn't harm you, it will not harm the baby. If you ventilated the area, and you did not have any symptoms of headache dizziness or blurry vision is most likely that these fumes did not get inhaled by you significantly, and therefore they cannot do damage either to you or to the baby. There is also no evidence that exposure to fumes from plastics, aerosol cleaning products, or similar items causes birth defects. So certainly your exposure to burning plastic in that context is nothing to worry about regarding your pregnancy. I hope that the information was reassuring, and that my advice was helpful. Best wishes, |

I was investigating Black Seed Oil for my Son who has been diagnosed with Prostate Cancer but I see that it is suggested Black seed oil could possibly help tinnitus. I had chemo three yrs ago due to a Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma I was treated for and since that time, have experienced ringing in both ears. Thank you. Melanie | Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns. There is no scientific evidence that seed oil or any other similar herbal product or supplement may have positive effect on prostate cancer and prognosis. So it would be best if you follow official medical advice by your doctor and surgery + chemotherapy is the only possible curative treatment for this type of cancer. Alternative medicine however may be helpful for treatment of pain and chemotherapy side effects and this is something that I do accept as an option. Your tinnitus may be related to your previous chemotherapy, and you should see ENT doctor for further evaluation. Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow-up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions. Wishing you good health. |
my 2 year old has two big bites on his face near his eye. They have been there for 2 days and are still swollen and have a small pusy-looking center. This morning he woke up and his eye is a bit swollen and looks slightly red and possibly bruised. Is this just a reaction to a mosquito bite or should I be concerned? | Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor. I have read your question in detail and I know that you are very concerned about your child but don't worry. By what you quote, it seems that your child probably has got an insect bite. Insect bites cause redness and itching at the site of bite. It usually has a pale center. In my opinion, you should give tablet levocetrizine 5 mg two times a day for 3 days. Review after 2 days. I hope this will help you. Wishing your child good health. Take care. Regards Chat Doctor. |
Hi i had filled my teeth nine years ago but one month before i got pain in my fillings so i went to dentist he said you need to remove old fillings.To remove old fillings he gave me medicine but i cant eat medicine bcoz of liver swelling so after one day he remove my old fillings through injection and do temporory zinc white filling and said to me come after five days.i could not get pain in temporory filling but after eight days when i go back he remove my temporory filling and did sliver filling .since then i am getting pain when i try to eat something and also feel hot and cold .kindly tell me what should now i do? | Hello! Thank you for posting in Chat Doctor. You must have developed cavity below the fillings. Your dentist filled it temporarily expecting your teeth will heal deep cavities. But, you still developed pain. It means your cavities are deep that they need a root canal treatment. I suggest you to see your dentist for an x-ray and proceed with the root canal treatment. This will save your teeth from extraction. You must also see your general physician for an antibiotic and analgesic prescription as it is necessary for your tooth to heal after root canal. Liver problem also leads to poor blood clotting. So, inform your dentist before any treatment. Regards. |
I have been diagnosed with a sacralisation of the L5 and also had a slipped disc last year. I tried all kind of treatment laser, physiotherapy, hydrotherapy, conservative medcines, has an infiltration procedure. But still not helping. It still hurts and I cant walk. what do I nedd to do to get relief. | Dear patientSacraization of lumbar vertebra is compatible with normal living and will not produce any symptoms. You might be getting pain in back and legs due to slipped disc. How was disc prolapse diagnosed? Was MRI of spine done? If not done previously I would advise going for MRI of lumbosacral spine with screening of whole spine which will lead to confirm diagnosis and helps in planning treatment. Since u have undergone all conservative measures and if MRI shows significant disc prolapse Next option is surgical excision of disc(discectomy). It can be done with endoscope and minimal incisions. Please consult orthopedic surgeon nearby you and take his advice for this. All the best. |
Im 26 years old and have always had a small brown mole near my anus. After feeling some irritation, I decided to check the area out in the mirror and was shocked to find a bunch of tiny moles that look like brown dots, all around the anus. I cant remember the last time I looked down there, but know they werent there before. What could they be? | Hi, and thanks for using Chat Doctor question service. Small moles in that area could be compatible with human papillomavirus. The brown color is because the area (anus) has more melanin than other parts of the body. However, the definitive diagnosis only is given to you with a biopsy study of injuries, so I strongly recommend you to visit a specialist. I hope this information is helpful to you. Remember in order to have a good diagnosis, a physical evaluation is necessary. Get better soon. |
Can inside room temperature (high) cause blood pressure to rise when you are taking blood pressure medicine (hychlorthyazide, Lisinopril, and amlodipine). I have a neighbor who doesn t want my A/C unit on and I am trying to explain that it affects my blood pressure if I am too warm. | Hello and thank you for using Healthcare magic. High inside or outside temperatures usually lowers blood pressure, and it is not related to the medicine you're taking. The heat dilates blood vessels and in that way contributes to lowering of blood pressure. In n my opinion you should get out thyroid gland checked for any form of hyperfunction. Hyperthyroidism is a condition in which you can feel warmer than others around you, have a higher blood pressure even if you are taking your medications regularly. Thyroid gland problem are a common finding and cause of high blood pressure. A simple thyroid check up with thyroid hormones' lab work and a thyroid ethnography would get you cleared up. Have a wonderful time ahead. Hope I answered all of your questions. Let me know if you have any further clinical concerns or doubts. I will be more than happy to get back to you in no time. If satisfied here, please give a generous five-star rating and don't forget to close the discussion. |

I have tryed the preseed lub hoping that it would help the situation which it didnt do anything ummm is there anything else i can do to try and get pregnant? | Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor. I am Chat Doctor. I will be answering your concerns. About 85% of couple conceive in the first year of marriage and 95% of couples conceive by the end of second year. So don't be stressed. Give time. You will get pregnant. It would have been nice if you had provided me some more information like your age, BMI, regularity of menstrual cycles, whether your hormone assay, semen analysis are normal. If it is bothering you first get baseline investigations like hormone assay, SG, and semen analysis done. Based on the results, you can be treated. To increase your chances of conception maintain normal BMI, quit smoking (if you're a smoker) and have intercourse at least three to four times in a week. Take a tablet of folic acid daily. If you have any further concerns do contact me through Chat Doctor. |
Hello Dr. Deepak. The orthopedic surgeon who did the knee replacement surgery (both knees) on mom 12 days back has prescribed wysolone. I realized that this is a steroid drug. I wanted to understand how important is it to take this drug and why is it prescribed. Thanks.Chintan Sarda | Dear patient. Thank you for your question. Let me start off by saying I am not Chat Doctor. Post replacement steroids is rare as steroids decrease immunity by increasing blood sugar and inhibiting the production of white blood cells which fight off infection. Post replacement the chances of infection increase. The only conditions where steroids should be given is1) Your mother OS a patient of rheumatoid arthritis and was on steroids before the operation2) She was on steroids for a different reason.Steroids, post replacement if given should not be given for more than 3 days and that too low dosage, so please ask your doctor the reason for giving steroids and to stop them before 2 weeks are up |
I had a crainiotomy the 5th and yesterday hit the top of my head past my incision. It was on the inside door frame of the van. I called my neurologist and they know. I have pain but no bleeding or passing out nothng ike that. However, just now I tried singing and now have throbbing jaw pain on the right side same side as I hit my head | Hi Dear, Understanding your concern. As per your query jaw pain after head injury is because of two reasons. One is TMJ dislocation and other is jaw fracture. Sometimes due to sudden jerk or wrong opening of mouth TMJ get dislocated from its socket or also get fractured. I would suggest you to restrict your jaw movements, do not sing, avoid eating hard food, try to eat soft or liquid diet and consult oral surgeon. Doctor may order orthopantomogram of face to find out exact cause. Doctor may clinically reduce the jaw into its socket if jaw is found to be dislocated. If there is fracture the wiring will be needed. Doctor may also prescribe muscle relaxant. For now tie a bandage around head and jaw to restrict movement. Hope your concern has been resolved. |

Ive been a healthy person with no family history of heart problems. I dont understand why Im going through this.Ive also had strange headaches which feels like Cluster headaches, Drs did a scan and found nothing so they said I didnt need an MRI.Thanks,Need insight | Hi, Irregular heart rate could be abnormal beat from a normal part of heart (VPC - Ventricular Premature Contraction) or could be sinus arrhythmia (irregular heart beat due to breathing, which is a normal phenomenon) or could be serious Atrial Fibrillation. To know the exact diagnosis you need an ECG at the time of this irregular heart beat. If ECG is normal, then we put a 24hr ECG monitoring called Holder Monitor which will tell the diagnosis & than the treatment plan accordingly. Stress test is done to rule out coronary disease as a probable cause of this irregular heart rate. So wait for the Holder report. ThanksTake care |
Chest pain in center of chest...now has moved to my back upper right side...right shoulder and at the base of my ribs on right side...Also, hurst quite a bit when i sneeze...I have just come off Champix and have a history of Hodgkins Lymphoma (underwent chemo and radiation to chest). Should I go for an x-ray? | Hi thanks for asking question. According to history you Hodgkin lymphoma history. Now you have pain at chest and shoulder. Although you are treated possibility of metastasis has to be thought. For that yes x-ray can be done. But if x-ray picture not clear then CT scan or bone scan like investigation done to search for metastasis. If metastasis not present by above investigation then it might be by muscular strain or by Costco Chat Doctor. For pain take analgesic. Along with my above suggestion also consult doctor for physical examination as you have malignancy history. Good luck. |
Approx 4 yrs ago I was diagnosed with a hiatus hernia and prescribed omaprazole, I now take 20mg daily in the morning to control the symptoms. However, despite taking each morning I still get the feeling of lumps in my oesophagus by mid afternoon/early evening... I then resort to taking another tablet in hope this will settle but to no avail. . . Another symptom of late is discomfort in my thoracic area which does feel like muscular tension but do worry that there could be something more sinister going on. Approx 18mths ago i had another endoscopy and was told I didnt have a hernia...? I didnt think it could go once you had one so perhaps I was just very inflamed. ..I dont like to go to the dr;s as I feel this is trivia but then when its bad I think I should. Should I just increase my dosage? | Hi. Thanks for posting your question on Chat Doctor. From your symptoms, it looks like that you are having persistent HERD. But at the same time there is need to do rule out Aphasia cardiac and esophageal manometer, barium swallow may be required for that. You shouldn't increase the dose yourself, rather consult a Gastroenterologist for further evaluation and management. Meantime, avoid stress, take more of liquids, elevate head end of bed, avoid spicy foods etc. |

I beg of u please help me.karim | Hi, would suggest you to undertake a few investigations like TSH, ogtt, ovulation monitoring. If all normal then chances of conception with GUI are high. If abnormal the above i.e. metformin and thyroxine will require dose adjustment.in case you are not ovulating you will have to start ab closed 50 mg daily for 5 days from day 5 to day 9 of cycle, also give your husband feature daily for 3 months to improve sperm quality. Take care all the best. |
i got my wisdom teeth removed on the 13th and the stichs are comming out what should i do if its getting to long and i want to cut them to keep me from swallowing the stichs? and theres a weird taste comming from the holes where the wisdom teeth were. i dont know anything about this and i need help | Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Read your query. If as mentioned the tooth removal was done on 13th, (of April) it is long time which u had to get the sutures removed. Regarding the bad smell, I advise you to keep that place clean without any food debris left behind, do saline gargles, and it will be better. Please visit your dentist and get the sutures removed. Hope this was useful. Thanks and regards. |
Our eighteen-month old nephew hit his head and briefly passed out a week ago. He was checked at A and E and there were no concerns. He then developed symptoms very like chicken pox which his GP is convinced he does not have. Is it possible that there is a connection to the concussion or are there viruses similar to chicken pox? | Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor, Usually chicken pox presents with rashes and fever. If your nephew developed fever before the rashes came out, your kid most probably has chicken pox. If with no fever, you might be dealing with another entity (probably allergy). I am of opinion that it does noes not seems to be chickenpox, because in chickenpox lesions, rash leads to vesicles and then crust formation. Anyway if child is well you need not worry, get your child immunized for chickenpox, if not already done. Thank you. |
My husband had prostate cancer in 1999 and had the brachy therepy seed implant. After this time, he first had problems he could not pee and than after he had a procedure, scraping, done, he had incontinence. At this time, he has to catherize at least three times daily. He had the scraping done twice and is now scheduled to have it again on June 5. How long will this scraping last and for how long would he have to use the cather. My husband is 80 yrs but is in very good health and was very active until this has brought him down. | Hi, Thanks for writing in. Brachytherapy might cause side effects that include difficult urination. Your husband might have got this problem as a side effect to the brachytherapy which was given to him. Catheterization is a method to empty the bladder at regular intervals to avoid bladder outlet obstruction complications. He can try without the catheter for some time after he gets the scraping done June 5. Some people might have use the catheter for a long time because the bladder is not able to expel the urine by itself. It is understandable that this is a discomfort which is influencing his active daily life. It is difficult to predict for how long he might require to do regular catheterization to help empty the bladder. Please do not worry. |
ive had a bad back for many years but i want to know why i get tingling in my legs arms hands face and i also get a lot off balance my neck is also very stiff im 52 and im a cleaner in poole hospital im also very sensitive around my left temple and eye and my face it makes me feel so ill with the worry of not knowing whats going on please could help | Hello. Thanks for writing to us. The tingling sensation that you are having is likely to be related to the nerve root compression at the level of the lumbar vertebra. Taking methylcobalamin supplements for two weeks can help in reducing the problem. I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you. You can consult me again directly through my profile URL http |
I recently had a lft alt level of 77 and serum gt level of 68. Since these are in excess of normal ranges, how high do they represent a problem with liver. Eg are there various upper ranges such as 45-100 = mild fatty liver etc. I am also insulin resistant have pcos and may be pre diabetic. All the signs of fatty liver disease. | HelloFindings suggest raised ALT and GGT level. Increased ALT and GGT may indicate liver injury. It may be due to many reasons like hepatitis, alcohol intake, altered lipid profile, medicines,autoimmune causes etc. You may need few more investigations like routine hologram, random blood sugar, lipid profile, urine RE/ME. I suggest tablet ursodeoxycholic acid 300 mg twice daily for three months to my patients. It helps in regeneration of liver cells. You should avoid saturated fat and go for brisk walk regularly. Avoid alcohol if you take it. Get well soon. Take Care Chat Doctor. |
Hello I had sex from front but just for few minutes, but when i pulled out penis the condom was break but unfortunately i do not remember that sperm was licked or not and we both are confused what should we do just 24 hours ago we made sex sex had on 28-06-2014, nd her next MC on 08/09- 06-2014 plz help nd plz confirm that is there any chance of pregnancy? if yes then what should we do????? plz send me your number, so that i an talk you.. PLZZZZZZZZZZ | Hello dairy understand your concerned there is chance of the pregnancy as you did sex in the 10th to 20th day of the cycle and condom was broken. I would suggest taking Emergency contraception pill like I pill as early as possible to prevent the pregnancy. It is around 85-90% effective in preventing the pregnancy. But it causes delay in period by 8-10 days. If your period will delay by more than 12 days then confirm the pregnancy as I pill has come failure rate.Meanwhile, avoid stress, take healthy diet, Chat Doctor. |
I am in the medical profession and I serve a client that has an issue with ongoing lice. Unfortunately, I have caught it as well as my daughter. We have treated with Sklice lotion, and I have taken ivermectin orally twice. I thought I was clear and then found two nits tonight. Does ivermectin sometimes not work? And how do you tell if the nits are alive or dead? Thank you | Hi, Thanks for writing in to Chat Doctor. Slice lotion is a single dose ivermectin application cream. You need to wait for 14 days for the hair t be clear of lice. Along with this make sure you wash clothing, bedsheets etc. in hot water and also clips, combs are washed in hot water. After washing the hair with water and vinegar comb the wet hair to remove any dead lice or nits. If the nits have only the outer coats sticking to the hair which can be removed on combing wet hair. Hope this helped. Regards |
My two year old has a cough, runny nose, fever. He has also complained about his stomach hurting, his eyes and his teeth. He complains more about his teeth right now more then anything. The fever began after he started complaining about his teeth. Should I be concerned or are these symptoms of the cold/flu? | Hi... I feel that this is a simple viral illness with cough and cold. Nothing to worry about it. For nose block, saline nasal decongestants will do. Paracetamol can be given in the dose of 15\u00a0mg/kg/dose (max ceiling dose 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. For cold, you can use Cetirizine at 0.25\u00a0mg/kg/dose every 12 hourly for 3 days. For nasal block, plain saline nasal Chat Doctor. Regards - |
Hi, my husband came home from work with a very large bump on the back of his left wrist on the side the radius is on. He says there is a little pain with it. It looks swollen but not sure why. The swelling is about 3 inches long and 2 inches wide. What do you think it could be? | Hi, I have studied your cafetiere can be bony contusion. As x-ray may be essential to rule out fracture. If swelling is there, you need to take rest and use splint or compressive cr\u00eape bandage to reduce swelling. Watch for increase in redness, infection. Take precaution to avoid infection around hematoma. Do not use hot fomentation or massage. If required you may need to do blood investigation for prognosis and recovery.X-ray may be required after clinical examination. Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow-up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries. Wishing you good health. Take care. |
Good morning Dr. Grief, Question, I have TMJ Syndrome and I was wondering was this associated with the the other day I woke up and my top gums were swollen? They went down bout a day later but right behind the front two teeth is VERY painfull and soar. Makes it hard to eat, almost feels like a cut or something. Do you have any idea what that is? | Hello there, TMJ problems can be associated primarily with the pain and soreness in the upper front teeth and swollen gums as you have mentioned. Swelling in the gums indicate inflammation of the gums known as gingivitis, it is caused due to poor oral hygiene, deposition of bacterial plaque and calculus deposits deep in the gum pockets and on the root surfaces of the teeth. You may also experience bleeding gums, pain, sensitivity and redness in the gums. This needs professional scaling and root planing by a dentist to remove all the irritants, plaque and calculus which will subside the gum swelling rendering good oral health. Pain in the upper front teeth is may be due to some dental infection or decay process, it can be confirmed by taking an X-ray examination of the area accordingly treatment can be planned. I hope this helps, take care. |
Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ? Please type your query here... I am 8 months pregnant. A toddler had spots on his bottom Wednesday just gone and has been diagnosed with hand, foot and mouth disease. Is my unborn safe from contracting this disease from taking my toddler swimming in the indoor heated swimming pool. | Hi. If you contract the infection, you can transmit it to your baby shortly before birth and this can also be controlled or avoided if the medical team is a little more careful. But if you do not have it, and only your toddler has/had it, then there is little chance your unborn baby will get it. So it may be best to keep your toddler hospitalized, until he/she recovers completely, and avoid contact with him/her until he/she does. Best wishes. |
Hi, I have gone through a root cannel for one of my tooth 3 years ago, after 3 years i am facing a boil filled with puss and bllod in my jaw just below the tooth (which has undergone root cannel). the issue is there for 6 weeks, please advice on possible cause . is it infection ??? | Hello, Thank you for consulting with Chat Doctor. This boil of puss, shows that again there is an infection in the same tooth or the adjacent tooth in which you got the root canal treatment done. Because in case of infection an abscess forms below the tooth which is the collection of pus only. So you should visit your dentist and get an x-ray done of that area to show the infection and get the treatment accordingly. Hope it will help you. |

Your pelvic scan is essentially normal. However, there are various other factors for conception. Firstly, please consult an Infertility specialist. Get your husbands' semen analysis done. Check your basic hormonal profile, and go through a follicular monitoring cycle to check whether ovulation is on track. Also, take regular folic acid supplements and maintain a healthy BMI. If all other factors are normal, consider having an HSG or laparoscopy done to assess tubal function. Take care. |

So please tell me exercise for this treatment for quick well. My e-mail i.d. is YYYY@YYYY | Hello, I would recommend performing nerve conduction studies in order to exclude possible pinched nerve in this hand.

I believe I have bronchitis. During the day its bad enough, but night is horrible! I cough so much that sleep is impossible. And now my nose is stuffed up and my ears feel like they pop when I cough. Also, my chest aches with every cough. What can I do to stop the coughing and pain? | Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Nighttime cough, blocked nose and ears are more suggestive of allergic bronchitis. So better to consult pulmonologist and get done 1. Clinical examination of respiratory system 2. PUT (Pulmonary Function Test).PFT is must for the diagnosis of bronchitis. It will also tell you about severity of the disease. And treatment of bronchitis is based on severity only. You may require inhaled bronchodilators and inhaled corticosteroid (ICS). Oral combination of antihistamine and anti-allergic Chat Doctor. Don't worry, you will be alright.

Hi Doc, My son is 02 years old and for couple of days his poo color has changed. After normal poo he is again going poo is very small quantity with greenish color and sticky. Though this is happening 02 to 03 times in a day. He is eating good and is having both cow milk and mother s milk. | I am glad that you have put up your query at Chat Doctor. I understand your cause of concern. But I would like to reassure you since greenish stools are often normal. Greenish stools may occur when food might be moving through the large intestine too quickly, such as due to diarrhea. As a result, bile doesn't have time to break down completely. Green stool can also be caused by taking iron supplements or eating certain foods such as green leafy vegetables, green food coloring, such as in flavored Chat Doctor. Foods with dark purple coloring, such as Kool-Aid, popsicles, and gelatin (Jell-O), can also result in greenish or green stools. In case you wish to be even more certain, I insist that you consult a pediatrician. |
Hello doctor Actually my platelets coubt is currently only 4000... I have cold and flu... 2 weeks back I had taken antibiotics for my tooth pain as prescribed by the doctor.I had itp last year same time... I was given immunosuppressive drug .. ritoximab and dexa Can you please advise what should I do now to get rid of this disease completely Thank you | Hi, Thanks for asking. Based on your query, my opinion is as follows.1. ITP is an autoimmune disorder. If It's chronic, it will be present for longer time. 2. If its acute presentation, it might go into remission on its own.3. 4000 or 40000, I am not sure. If It's 4000, you will require immediate platelet transfusions to avoid risk of internal bleeds.4. ITP cannot be completely cured. It can only be controlled. Hope it helps. Any further queries, happy to help again. |

Hi, I am from India. Today is 17th day of my cycle and as per doctors advice follicular study has been done since 10 dth dat onwards. I had ChatDoctor injection shot on 11th day. Follicle size on 17th day are 29x22mm in right ovary and 30x24 mm in left ovary. Follicle size are remains same as it was on 15th day. Is there any chance that follicles will repture? If so by when? Kindly advice. Thanks | Hello dairy understand your concerned had Chat Doctor injection on 11th day and on follicle was not ruptured on 19th day. Generally effect of Chat Doctor injection will occur on next 24-36 hours. So chance of rupture is less. I would suggest taking Chat Doctor injection for few cycles. If ovulation does not occur then it could be due to thick covering. If problem persists then you can go for USG guided ovarian Chat Doctor. Along with this you can try clonidine citrate, metformin and progesterone pill in second half of periodAvoid stress, take healthy diet, |
i m taking glycomet-850 tablet trice a day, livogen twice a day, folmine twice a day and one ovrall tablet per day with doctor advise. I didnt able to understand what my doctor told. can u please explain clearly?.. can i able to get pregnant after talking these tablets ? | Hi, oral is z contraceptive pill, so you can't get pregnant on that. Talk to your doctor regarding this. You may need some medicines for growth of your follicles and track your follicles' growth by repeated ultrasound. When follicles reach a size more than 17 to 18 mm, take injection for rupturing the follicles. Be in contact with your husband every 2 to 3 days after your periods stop. 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. Glycogen can help you in conceiving. Hope I have answered your question. Regards Chat Doctor. |
My mother has gallstone, shes 37 years old and shes been doing well. The doctor put her on a diet, no fried food, or fatty foods. This includes no oil, but unfortunately someone gave her oil, now shes in pain and she says it feels like shes getting stabbed in the stomach. We would go to the hospital but her doctor is out of town and hes the only one who has her medical records, if we go to the hospital we might be running a heavy risk at the doctors not having any idea what to do with her due to lack of information. Weve given her some lemons in water to break up the oil. She cannot take her pain killers for another three hours. But is there something else that we can do? | Hello and thank you for asking Chat Doctor. I have read the symptoms of your mother and I understand your concerns. It seems she has a biliary colic, or worse even pancreatitis. No one can be sure for the diagnosis without tests. Usually the pain disappears in a few hours, but if the pain is prolonged, and she has other symptoms like nausea, vomiting, fever than probably she has cholecystitis (infection of the gallbladder) In this case she needs to check up at the hospital to do some tests.-ultrasound of her abdomen (to check the walls of the gallbladder, biliary ducts, pancreas etc)-blood tests (to check the white blood cells for presence of infection, liver enzymes, pancreas enzymes)-a consult with a surgeon. It doesn't matter that her personal doctor is out of tows. The other doctors will do the tests and will know what to do once they have a diagnosis. If you have any other question, feel free to ask me. Chat Doctor. |
I have a lump on my right butt cheek. I don t know if it is viaible or red for when I stand in front of the mirror I can not see it but it does hurt when I touch it. Is this something serious like a tumor or cancer? How can I treat it to go away? I do not feel it when Im sitting or walking just when I touch it or I m laying down I feel it being there | Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor, A lump or swelling in the buttock region needs to be investigated. The swelling is most probably a soft tissue swelling since soft tissue swellings are common in this region. Certain investigations are required to know the nature of the lesion. An aspiration cytology of the swelling needs to be done to know the exact nature of the swelling. In aspiration cytology, a needle is inserted into the swelling, cells are aspirated, spread on a slide and stained with appropriate stains. The stained cells are studied microscopically to know the nature and character of the lesion. Thus, consult your primary healthcare provider for clinical assessment, investigations and thus management. Thanks and take care Chat Doctor. |

hi my name is Akshay. my mother has asthma n her age is 48. she takes seroflo rotocap 100mg everyday n her asthma is very much under control. but she has been taking it for a few years now n the doctor has advised her to take it for the rest of her life. she s worried whether or not to take it regularly since it contains steroid. is it really harmful or does she slowly need to stop consuming it or at least take it less frequently rather than everyday? | Hello Akshay, Thank you for asking at Chat Doctor.First I want to inform you that Seroflo-100 contains 2 Chat Doctor. If your mother is very well controlled with using Seroflo-100 rota cap once a day, it is really very good for her. The decision to reduce asthma medications depends on how severe her asthma has been in recent past. If its very quiet, say, she does not have any slightest symptom due to asthma in last 3 months, I would suggest you to use rota caps containing only flluticasone 100 (not albuterol) for next 3 months. If she is able to maintain the same control for next 3 months also, then decision regarding reducing fluticasone (corticosteroid) can be thought of. You should know that the tapering of asthma controller medications should be gradual and under a physician guidance, it must not be self attempted. I would also suggest her regular breathing exercise, Yoga & Panama, which may improve her lung capacity over a long time. However, if she is not able to taper medications due to return of symptoms, I would say that inhaled corticosteroids have the least side effects compared to oral forms. Right technique of using inhaling device, taking the medication in morning & gargling after inhalation procedure will minimize the side effects. Hope this will be helpful to you. Wish your mother the best of the health. Regards. |
