ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | i am 53 years old. I am overweight. I have been dieting for months. I have diabetes. I know I should exercise, but my feet kill me. I wear good shoes. over the past several years, i have become very weak. i have difficulty walking any distance, or upstairs. My feet hurt all the time. They ache so bad and will have sharp pains in them. I do not think it has to do with the diabetes. Sometimes they will even feel like a bone is broke in them. I feel bad most of the time and can not get anyone to listen to me. They give me b 12 vitamin. I have sleep apenea, and have been on a cpap machine for years, I have never felt like it helps at all, other than controls my snoring. I supposedly have narcolepsy also, and am on medication for that too. I think if it was not for that I could sleep 24 hours a day. I am so tired all the time. But my feet are my main problem seems like. I know i need to exercise, but My feet hurt so bad I don t want to walk. i still work and by the end of the day, i just want to get off of my feet. | Hello, Thank you for using Chat Doctor. I read your question and understood your concern. You may have plantar fasciitis, so I recommend you to use custom-made shoe inserts with arch supports. Also check your osteoporosis as you may need calcium and vitamin D medication. Diabetes affects also the nerves of the legs, so you take medication for neuropathic pain such as LYRICS. Non weight-bearing exercise and sport such as swimming, water Derby and stationary bike is good for you to lose weight but not walking nor jogging. |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | My husband takes 500 mg. dilantin and 20 mg. clobazam per day for seizures caused by a head injury 30 years ago. Recently the doctor reduced his clobazam to 10 mg. per day and introduced cipralex for depression. My husband had a seizure about 3 weeks later and up until this change was seizure free for 3 years. Could the cipralex cause the seizure or/and the reduction in clobazam? | HI, thanks for using Chat Doctor If he was seizure free for an extended period of time prior to the change in medication, then it is definitely possible that the alteration may have contributed to the seizure. It is more likely related to the decrease in seizure medication than the introduction of the circle. You may want to consider speaking to his doctor especially is there are any more seizure episodes. I hope this helps |

My doctor said that getting pregnant would be risky. Also, there is a higher chance of miscarriage. Can you please give me your suggestion? Thank you. | Hello. Do not worry. With recurrent miscarriage, you do not require to go for TORCH test as it is responsible for sporadic losses and not a recurrent one. Have you been immunized against rubella in childhood by receiving MMR at 16 to 18 months? The levels of 277 suggest that you are immune and to know whether you had a recent infection or not then avidity testing is done for that. Please state at what period of pregnancy you had an abortion and what test and medication have been given so far. Few important tests should be done to know the cause of recurrent miscarriage. Is there any family or past history of thrombosis in the family? We need to rule out congenital or acquired thrombophilias.

That is the only medication that I take . | Hi, thank you for providing the brief history of you. As you mentioned you have pain from 4 years than it is a chronic backache. For which a thorough neuromuscular assessment is guided. Based on which an MRI of the lumbar spine will be performed. Also, medicine acts as a symptomatic relief to pain and aches. Once medicine is induced in the body, the physical therapist role come into existence. On which by application of the therapeutic ultrasound therapy and TENS therapy the pain is still taken into control. After that the major role comes is to strengthen the muscles. As muscles are the supporting structures of the spinal bones, the need to strengthen them is of due importance. Once the muscles of the core, pelvic Floor, spinal muscles and hip muscles become stronger the pain is under control. You can perform the exercises at home as it is needed in chronic stages to control the pain in longer run. In my clinical practice I assist patient with three-step therapy.- rest-Medication- physical therapy. Apparanlty we have 100% success rate of controlling the back pain and avoid future recurrence.

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | Hello doctor,I have two inner ear conditions. Both are somewhat rare: Right-semicircular canal dehiscence and Left- patulous eustachian tube dysfunction. What I want to know is whether I can fly- take an airplane without getting ill and sustain further inner damage? | Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor forum. 1. Super semicircular canal dehiscence is a rare inner ear condition. In this condition there will be giddiness and imbalance when exposed to loud noise and imbalance, echoing of once own voice, etc. This condition usually does not get worsened by change in environmental pressure. So air travel will not be an issue in this condition. In any case keep anti-vertigo medications such as Stemetil handy when you fly. 2. Patulous eustachian tube is a condition involving middle ear and nose. My guess is because of similarity in symptoms you have been given both the diagnosis. I can say that if there is vertigo then it is superior canal dehiscence if there is no vertigo chances of Patulous eustachian tube are high. In any case people with Patulous eustachian tube will have certain degree of pressure symptoms in ear when they fly but most of the times it will not be very severe. You can use simple saline nasal spray before boarding the flight and every two hours in air to reduce symptoms. |

Please give a suggestion what we need to do right now | Hi I did review your concern. Connective tissue disorders are a group of disorders that are due to autoimmunity in which our body immune cells like ABCs responds in a harmful way to our own other normal body cells. It can be Systemic lupus erythematous, systemic sclerosis, sjogren syn Chat Doctor. There are various serum tests used for diagnosis. There is treatment available in form of steroids or immunomodulators. The treatment is to prevent progression of disease, and unfortunately it cannot be cured, but many people live with steroids or immunomodulators for years without much problem.

If not, do most insurances cover it? I don t want my knees to disintegrate later in life. Also, frankly, it s ugly. :/ | Hello, I have studied your case. RA with genus Valium may be associated with soft tissue injury. Your MRI may suggest soft meniscus injury. Meniscus injury can be managed by arthroscopic repair. As per your symptoms you need to do physiotherapy and knee exercises to improve range of motion. Along with MRI we will also need weight-bearing knee X-ray. Due to old injury to knee there is early degeneration of knee joint. VISCOSUPPLEMENTATION: Hyaluronic acid injections given into the joint (especially large joints like knee joint) in prescribed dosages will give good short term pain relief in arthritic joints ranging from 1-2 years.

I already took 2 tramadols n 2 paracetamols..I am getting ready for a hot pack...please advice | Hello, As you have pain on the left side of the body, I think this should be related to the weakness of the muscles and intervertebral disc disease. Medicines will act as a symptomatic treatment for a few hours to block the pain from reaching the Brain. There will be a gastric issue associated with it as well. I will advise you to start doing exercises for the core, spine, upper limb and lower limbs under a guided physiotherapist. This will help you reduce a lot of the current symptoms you were facing. You can still continue to take paracetamol but avoid Tramadol. As on long run, Tramadol will damage the kidney functions and lead to other complications in the body. In my clinical practice of over 12 years, most cases have responded well to Physiotherapy guided exercises and I wish the same from you. Hope I have answered your query.

Your MRI has indicated of disc bulge and encroachment to neural recess of L4-5 So this can be taken as tentative cause. Well Mr. Namibia I believe I will not recommend surgery as the first option in such cases. In Ayurveda there is a procedure which is called Kate Vast in which medicated oil slightly heated is kept over affected area for about half an hour to 45 minutes. These oils contain analgesic, anti-inflammatory and muscle tonic herbs. I have seen excellent response in such cases. More so it is non-invasive technique. In case the cause is with muscles then fomentation with herbs and oil massage is beneficial. I wish and hope that this will cure you. |

Her ICU Doctor told me that he doesnt really think that she has much more than 3 months to live...how to you think he arrived at this conclusion? Aggressive therapy has been ruled out as a very high risk for her. | Hello, Brief Answer: Factors such as comorbidities, age, heart functions, and other investigations may aid to give a life span for such conditions. Explanation: My opinion is that ischemic heart disease is a bit of concern these days. Treatments range from medical to invasive coronary intervention. In some cases, a coronary angiogram may show heavy lesions that make it impossible to intervene either percutaneous or even surgery. Also, the clinical condition of the patient is taken into consideration during the assessment. Life span is a range of time that may be inaccurate in some cases. Factors such as comorbidities, age, heart ejection fraction and treatment options may aid to get that type of range. I suggest my patients the following lifestyle change and adherence to anti-ischemic. The information provided by you is not sufficient to provide a good opinion. If someone comes to me with this condition, I would ask them about medical history, other comorbidities, and echocardiography data. Conclusion: I suggest you check with your physician. Focus on your mom treatment options. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | hi doctoriam banu 28 years old ihave 2 male kids iam married in 2003.4days before i had throutinfection throut paining but now its cure.lost 3 days ihaving continous cough without sleep. check my docter chek me and told siviour veezing and give medicine. this is first time veezing for me.so iam doubt about veezing.pls clear my doubt about veezing | Hello Band, Thank you for asking at Chat Doctor. I went through your history and would like to make suggestions for you as follows:1. Wheezing can only be confirmed by listening to chest by stethoscope. So if your doctor has diagnosed wheezing, you can trust him/her for diagnosis.2. As you have first episode of wheezing, it can be due to viral infection. So you should not worry about anything serious at present. Such episodes improve with medicines and usually the patient completely recovers within 2-4 weeks. So I would suggest you to complete medications prescribed by your doctor.3. If you have repeated episodes of wheezing, in the future, then only one has to think about chronic diseases like asthma, etc.4. To make you understand "wheezing", it means whistle like sound coming from chest due to narrowed respiratory tubes (bronchi), which can be due to infections, bronchitis, asthma, and many other possible causes. Actually, wheezing is a sign and not a diagnosis. Hope above information will be helpful to you. Should you have any further query, please feel free to ask at Chat Doctor. Wish you the best of the health ahead. Thank you & Regards. |

The chances of pregnancy are close to zero. Primolut N for period induction is good, but it is unlikely to work for you if I-pill did not give you a with ChatDoctor. You may be suffering from PCOD. Please get your blood tested for LH, FSH, TSH, free testosterone, prolactin, DHEAS. Also, do your insulin fasting and transvaginal ultrasound. If the diagnosis of PCOD is confirmed you will have to take oral combined hormone pills with a prescription. That will regularize your periods and give contraceptive protection too. Also, your weight is towards the higher side. Try to lose weight that will help too. |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | Hi doctor,I am a 24 year old female. I am in a relationship since three years. I am not treated with the same love and dignity by the person. In this duration of our relationship, he left me twice for two months without communication, and he used to text when he needed anything. It is always me, who has to give and make efforts. Whereas on the other end, he seems happy, and he does not bother nor miss me till he wants to have fun or money. He often treats me as an option. If I call, he gets irritated, and if I message, he just ignores them. I think it is time to put a stop to this. He does not give any commitment. He often says that some day our paths will be different. He wants materialistic things from me, rather than wanting me.Whenever I talk about marriage, he says that his family will not support us. Still, he wants to keep a relationship with me. I have left my close ones, and I have changed my personality for him. He was good before, but now I do not recognize him. I feel like a beggar, who begs for his time. I know that I am holding on to someone whose does not even care about me, but I am unable to get over it. I tried to divert myself with my hobbies and interests. I left my job, and now I do not have money. And he is earning well now. All this frustration is ruining me. I have insomnia, and I cannot sleep at nights. I have got hypothyroidism. This lonely feeling is eating me. I have many things to do, but I am not able to work on anything. Though I train myself to be strong, ultimately I land up getting fooled by his messages or the thought of seeing him with somebody else. But, I cannot take this kind of behavior from him.

I also have high liver enzymes, so he sent me for abdominal CAT scan. The results of that said there was a small mass not suspicious and to watch closely,f/u recommended. I then had an ultrasound and it read:fatty liver seen,Echogenic areas within the liver measuring 4.2 x1.8cm. The Impression reads: Fatty liver seen.Echogenic mass vs. fatty tissue seen within liver,f/u is recommended. What does this actually mean? My endocrinologist told me that on the original CAT scan it showed I had an extra piece of liver(thats how he interpreted it);the ultrasound was to see what is happening within that area/Should I be concerned?Why do they use the term Echogenic?A. | Hi, Echogenic means something that is generating echoes. In your liver, there is this area which is more echogenic which means it is whiter than the rest of liver. An echogenic area if well-defined, commonly is a hemangioms which is a benign lesion. Else it can be a fat containing lesion and less likely a problematic one. I would suggest you to go for follow-up ultrasound after 3 months to see if there is any change in size. Hope this helps. |

The leg does not feel hot to the touch, but the sensation has come several times in the last 24 hours. | It can be due to some temporary nerve compression. I would suggest you to take pregabalin M one tablet at nighttime daily for five days. Most probably this sensation will improve. If there is continuous sensation then you need to get EMG test to find out if there is nerve compression.

I would like to know why you used the medication repeatedly, whether to induce an abortion after confirming a pregnancy or simply to induce a delayed period. Whatever it may be, you should not self-medicate with such a medication. Please see a specialist as early as possible to get a complete appraisal of the situation and plan further management. A sonogram of the pelvis, preferably in the trans-vaginal route is needed to clarify the situation. Hope this helps. |

Keeping 1-3 percent as the baseline for major malformations in an unexposed population to Montelukast, the medicine doe snot increase the baseline rate of major malformations. In a prospective, multigenic, comparative study around the world it is the severity of Asthma/breathing difficulty that produced a major birth weight difference of 304 GMS.

With your history it seems that you have got a fungal infection with super added bacterial infection.

I can understand your concern. Yes, possibility of ciprofloxacin induced gastritis is more for your left sided chest discomfort. But better to first get done ECG and 2d echo to rule out cardiac cause for this. If both are normal, then no need to worry about heart diseases. Ciprofloxacin is antibiotic and known to cause gastritis. Gastritis can cause left sided chest pain, tightness, stiffness etc. So you need proton pump inhibitors (antacid) for relief.

Nerve supply to scalp is different from that of throat. Pain is perceived by nerve endings. Since nerve supply is different, throat pain is not caused by scalp disease.2. Shingles can be made out by clinical examination. Every doctor is trained to differentiate different diseases. So viral infections like Shingles can be made out clinical examination.3.

Thank you for your query. I am Chat Doctor, I understand your concerns and I will try to help you as much as I can. This may indicate several benign or less benign diseases of liver and gallbladder or biliary ducts. In most cases this happens due to stone in biliary duct and sometimes there is a tumor as underlying cause. She should do ERCP or CT scan for further evaluation and then surgery can be planned to relieve biliary obstruction. I hope I have answered you query.

The growth of the skin over the lip could be because of the scar or irrational fibrous or a muscle or arteriovenous malformation. Get a miscopy test done to rule out these things. Consult an oral physician and get it evaluated. If it is a scar nothing to worry unless it interferes with function and appearance. If it is a muscle or fibrous, get it surgically removed under local anesthesia. If it is an arteriovenous malformation, then get it treated with surgery or chemotherapy. I hope my answer will help you, take care. |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | Dear Doc - A couple of months ago I noticed round nickel/quarter size light brown spot my venus mound (under pubic hair) The sport is flat, symmetrical, same color all around, and feels waxy. It does not hurt or itch, nor does it peel or ooze. Today I noticed it turned bright red.What could this be? | HelloThanks for query. Light brown spot on Venus mound which has recently turned out red is most likely to be a Sebaceous Cyst which is in a stage of induration and impending infection. The skin in genital area is rich in sebaceous glands and hence prone to get more sebaceous cyst due to accumulation of sebum beneath the skin. Normally they fade away without treatment however they need to be treated if increase in size or get infected. Take antibiotic like Doxycycline with Diclofenac twice daily for a week. If persists even after taking antibiotic you may need to consult qualified General Surgeon for assessment. You may need to get it removed (Excised) in Motto under local anesthesia. Chat Doctor. |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | Hello doctor,Just two days ago I found out I was about 1-2 weeks pregnant. And it has been about 4 1/2 weeks since my last menstrual period. Unfortunately with labor day being this weekend I have been unable to see my regular OBGYN. But I did go to the ER to confirm the pregnancy 2 days ago. So my blood results came back with an HCG OF 248 and the doctor said I am right around 1-2 weeks.So, here is my question. I have been stressing out badly due to the fact I have been on Lorazepam 1 mg every night for anxiety and PD for the last 2 years as well as Percocet 10 mg as needed for back pain. I have been taking both of the medications during my pregnancy when I had no idea I was pregnant. Since finding out I have tried tapering on both medications. The Percocet is making me sweat and very agitated and when I tried to cut down on the Lorazepam I was shaking and almost hallucinating and delusion. I also tried not taking the Lorazepam at all and woke up crying, shaking and sweating. I want to be off both these medicines but I am worried more about the Lorazepam as it is a class D pregnancy drug. I have read about the terrible problems this causes for infants. I am so scared that I am considering abortion. I do not want to be a terrible mother before I even give birth. I have been having bad panic attacks over this and cannot seem to relax as the complications of these medicines are always on my mind. Any advice at all would be very much appreciated. | Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor forum. Well in your case, as you said rightly Lorazepam is category D ChatDoctor. Ideally we advise avoidance of this medicine during and even before till 12 weeks pregnancy to avoid congenital malformations. You have tried leaving/ reducing it, but your with |

Im not able to see my doctor for another month. What can i do in the meantime? | Thanks for posting your query to Chat Doctor. Ring worm is caused by dermatophyte fungus .it requires long and proper treatment. Antibacterial are not effective, it can only treat if there is secondary bacterial infection. Presently you can apply antifungal ointment containing Turbinate .don't use steroid as it favor growth of fungus.

I would like to get healthy and prefer a Doctor who has experience. Unable to find anyone in SC so far. I have Blue Cross Blue Shield PPO state SC and Tricare as a secondary insurance. How do I find a lyme literate Doctor? | Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor, As you were diagnosed to have Lyme disease which is an infectious disease caused by Cordelia bacteria, and it is a tick borne disease transmitted to humans by the bite of infected ticks. The symptoms are suggestive of the Lyme disease. I would suggest oral doxycycline, if you have taken this and if there is resistant to this you can take either cefuroxime or azithromycin. These medications should be taken for at least one to four weeks. You need a few tests including labs to check his kidney function and an ultrasound of the kidney area and a urine culture to rule out an infection. I think the best way to do this would be to go the primary doctor again and tell him or her the new symptoms. Thank you. |

Chil Chat Doctor. It can often be complicated with secondary bacterial infections. I would insist that you try to see a doctor ASAP rather than waiting for your appointment especially because the child is not feeding well. It would be good if you can give the child steam inhalation for the time being. Just sit with the baby in your lap and put a source of the steam before you. The water vapor will be in the air and automatically the child will breathe it in. It will help by diluting the cough/phlegm. Hope that helps. |

Welcome on Chat Doctor ! The difficulty walking could be related to a partial paralysis after the seizure (which is quite a common phenomenon). Confusion after the seizure could also explain the gait difficulty.

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | hi.i am jknkjn mkl,33 years old.i have a son who is 7 years old.after him i didnt conceive.last year in june i had a surgery to remove endometriosis.after which i was given 3 zoladex injections.i am using prolifen for the last 4 months but still the same.n my periods are as painful as they were before my surgery.plus it makes me despondent too as my son often demands siblings. | Hi, I guess your concern about for painful menses plus conceiving for the next baby. Treatment information given by you seems correct. Endometriosis is a health problem in which pt will have painful menses and difficultly in conceiving. The surgery and medicines (Rolodex, Prolific as told by you) is usually given for endometriosis treatment. But, when the surgery was done and when the medicines were started, this information is not shared by you. The dosing of medicines is also not told by u.so I can't comment on the medicines. Don't worry, once the problem of endometriosis is solved you can conceive for next baby. My suggestions:1. Usually it takes some time for the medicines to have their effect. Sometimes the medicines start working early, and sometimes it takes little extra time. 2. So have patience. Wait for few more days. If still there is no improvement in painful menses, revisiting your treating doctor. Your other concern is to conceive for next baby. Endometriosis is one of the cause of infertility (infertility in medical term means unable to conceive). So a patient on treatment for endometriosis is usually having difficulty in conceiving till successful treatment of the problem. My advice:1. Revisit your treating doctor, to discuss conceiving for the next baby and presence of painful menses inspire of taking medicines.2. You may also consult a nearby infertility specialist. I hope the information is useful, informative and helpful. I wish and pray almighty that your son will be getting a cute sibling as soon as possible. Hope I have answered your query.

So sorry did not know I had to pay for this service and right now, I do not have those funds. Thank you anyway. | Hello, I have studied your case. According to your symptoms and findings there is osteoarthritis of your knee. You can start cartilage protecting medication like Chen Chat Doctor. Take analgesic and add tab methylcobalamine 1500mcg daily. Physiotherapy like ultrasound and tens will help, along with knee exercisesLife style changes will help in reducing pain which include, ACTIVITY MODIFICATION -It is important to maintain as much activity and joint motion as possible, but impact activities will aggravate arthritis. Running and jumping will often accelerate cartilage loss from the joint. The key is to focus on low impact activities, such as swimming or cycling. VISCOSUPPLEMENTATION: Hyaluronic acid injections given into the joint (especially large joints like knee joint) in prescribed dosages will give good short term pain relief in arthritic joints ranging from 1-2 years.

Is there any chance of pregnancy? | Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor forum. Sexual contact on the seventh day of periods will not make you pregnant, as they are the safe period. You should not have taken I-pill. I-pills are meant for emergency contraception and not for routine use. These are hormonal medicines and can disturb and disrupt your cycles, and can cause abnormal bleeding. I think that is why your periods are late. But still, you can get beta hCG done to rule out pregnancy. For more information consult an obstetrician and gynaecologist online |

That and a little rest last night seemed to help some but the pain is back and doesnt seem to be passing. Is this something to worry about? | Hello, and I hope I can help you today. As your uterus grows, there are two ligaments that are located on either side of the graph the front wall of your uterus that anchor it to your pelvis. These are called the round ligaments and for some reason, many women experience pulling sensations and pain as these ligaments are stretched. The pain is usually associated with walking or standing, and for an unknown reason, is more likely to occur on the right side. We refer to that type of pain in obstetrics as round ligament pain. It usually begins in the mid-second trimester and can occur into the early third trimester. It is nothing to worry about and will usually go away when you rest or Chat Doctor. If you experience any vaginal bleeding, or leakage of watery fluid from the vagina, or regular painful abdominal pains that seem to come and go with the clock and feel like menstrual cramps, you should instead report to labor and delivery for further evaluation. In the meantime however the right-sided pain you describe is likely a normal part of pregnancy, and really is nothing to worry about. I hope I was able to adequately answer your question today, and that my advice was reassuring. Best wishes, and best of luck for the rest of the pregnancy, |

I can understand your concern. Almost all lung insults whether tuberculosis, pneumonia or lung injury can cause lung scars after treatment. All of them heal with fibrosis and this fibrosis gives scar lesions on chest x-ray for lifelong. So your current scars on x-ray are mostly due to previous lung infection. Since these are inactive, noninfectious lesions, no treatment is needed. These lesions will not go away with any treatment. So to get medical fitness for visa clearance, you should consult pulmonologist and get done 1. CT thorax 2. Bronchoscopy and BAD (bronchoalveolar lavage) analysis. If both of these are normal then you can argue with visa authority that your lesions on chest x-ray are old, healed, fibrotic, noninfectious. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks. |

Erection of penis is due to the stimulation of parasympathetic and sympathetic nervous systems. This is usually affected in case of lower back injury. It is important to know if you had any injury to the lower end of spinal cord and that must be investigated in detail.

Certain medication can have a side effect of causing psychiatric symptoms.

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | Hi,iam suffering from seviere upper back pain,there is no problem in mri scan,doctor sujested to take dulot 20 mg for 3 months,but this capsule is using fot anti depression?why he prescribed for me?can start to take this capule?is there any side effects? | Hello, back pain mild to moderate may occur due to postural causes. When severe there may be underlying problem. But as your MRI is negative, it may occur due to somatoform disorder i.e. without actual pathology but due to chemical imbalances in brain. So your doctor might have suggested u the anti-depressant medication. The side effects are present but are mild. So it's better if u use them and have regular consultations with your doctor to review your symptoms n side effects. Don't worry n take care. All the best. |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | Hello doctor,The tooth has become black and feeling sensitivity while chewing and when having some cold and sweet feeling like it is due to the cavity. Can I reduce it naturally? | Hi. I had gone through your question and I can understand your concern. As per your history, it looks that you are having reversible pulpitis, that means there is a cavity in progression. If you will get it filled, sensitivity will go and there will be no further decay. If you left it as it may lead to your infection, then you have to get it root canaled or extracted. You can use desensitizing toothpaste but this is temporary. You can also avoid it by not taking hot or cold or sweet food but all these are temporary provision. My opinion is to visit a dentist and get it filled as soon as possible. |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | Hi, my husband had a lump removed from between his eye and nos May 2011. The pathology report said it wa significant of a viral wart or squamous cell carcinoma and it was been labelled as ssc. he has now been discharged from the consultant (He had skin graft from brow) but has a small, red hard lump on the back of his neck that looks as it will be a spot but is not coming to a Head. Do we need to be wary of this? | If the margins of resection at the time of the 2011 surgery were not involved by the tumor, i.e. were free (this will be in the biopsy report), then the likelihood of the tumor recurring are remote. Also, more than 2 years have now passed without him having any problems. If such a cancer recurs, it generally comes back at the site of previous surgery or in the front of neck (not back). All these factors point towards this being an unrelated thing. You have not mentioned the duration of this lump. If it is recent it is even less likely to be cancer. I will suggest you to take Tab. Ciprofloxacin 500Β mg twice daily + Tab. Ibuprofen 1 thrice daily + Tab. Sanitizing 150Β mg twice daily for 7 days. If the lesion persists then get a FNAC (needle test) done by a pathologist from the lesion. Also, if you are a diabetic, get a blood sugar done, they may be high, which can cause infections in this area. |

Lumbar area is doing well, but MRI of cervical spine shows a bruise & surgeon recommends "complete disability" d/t cervical bruise ~ he had been asymptomatic prior to that surgery. Please offer insight! Thank you. | Hello! Thank you for asking on Chat Doctor! Regarding your concern, I would explain that his symptoms could be related to cervical myelopathy. I would like to directly review his cervical MRI results in order to be able to give a more professional opinion.

This to you can give only when there is fever above 100 degrees Fahrenheit. I suggest that you give Paracetamol as an isolated medicine without any other combination. It is not about how long you should give Cronin or Paracetamol. You should give it only when there is fever and avoid when there is no fever or temperature is less than 100 degrees Fahrenheit. An 8-month-old baby developing blood in the stool could be because of bacterial dysentery, or it could also be because of cows milk protein intolerance, if you have started any cows Milk products recently.

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | I am 49 and have a heart murmur that has not impeded any activity in the past. Yesterday after a weekend of working on my house in the hot sun with no breaks for food and water, I woke up with a pain in my heart when I rolled over on my back. It subsided when I sat up, but I was pretty exhausted and slept all day. I felt fine by the evening. This morning when I woke up I felt a slight pain (not as bad as yesterday) again relieved when I sit up. I have a heart vitamin with coenzyme Q10, resveratol in it. I took one yesterday plus one aspirin. I have stayed home again for rest. I have no insurance right now. Recommendations? | Hello, I passed carefully through your question and would explain that your symptoms do not seem to be related to the heart. Acid reflux or a musculoskeletal pain could be the main causes underlying your complaints, as your symptoms are relieved by sitting down. Coming to this point, I recommend taking omeprazole for acid reflux. If the pain does not improve, the next step would be taking acetaminophen, which would help in case of musculoskeletal pain. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | I have c5-6 Foraminal stenosis diagnosed 6 years ago. I was put on soma and that along with accupuncture, massage and specialized manual physical therapy worked well ( I chose to not take any pain medication for those years). Unfortunately I was rear ended in September of this year and now the muscle spasms and pain are about to end my life. Soma and Vicodin (I have always taken small amounts with never any recreational drugs or alcohol used. I was referred to a pain doctor with his own agenda who decided I was a druggie despite multiple sites of injury in my body due to many years in the healthcare industry lifting heavy patients, walking and neck/shoulder injuries) I hold dual medical degrees so I am knowledgeable and careful with any pain medication and realize the risk/benefit balance. I have taken soma on and off for 12 years. I actually was originally given 4 a day and for many years only took 1. I did not ever experience withdrawal despite discontinuing 2 times due to a period of relative ease. Now I am older and my body is no longer able to compensate for the structural defects. I have been told my condition is not a good one for surgery. What am I going to do? I only want to work, quilt and occasionally garden. Any suggestions? I am sorry. I read your advertisement/website and I dont think you are an ethical company that will actually do anything. so I am not going any farther. | Nowadays, minimal invasive spine surgery is possible, consult a spine or neurosurgeon.it seems laminotomy, laminectomy and or fusion of vertebra are apparent remedies. Lyrica, methycobalamin, tramadol may be alternative medicines. If disc issues are also co-existing, epidurals or ozone therapy may be considered alternatively if for technical conditions you can't undergo surgery. Opioids are best taken for acute conditions as a short course. Use of cervical collar and isometric neck exercises may be done if condition permits.Also, cervical traction if this can be done in your position |

Sometimes she passes normal bowl, but today she is passing very loose bowls and since morning she has passed about five times, runny and loose stool. Kindly suggest me some home remedy or medicine. | Hi. Give ORS as much as she wants to prevent dehy ChatDoctor. Start Zinc syrup 10 milligrams once a day and a good brand of prebiotic probiotic available locally. Look around her bums area, if there is a redness rash, then apply Zinc-oxide cream locally 3 to 4 times a day. If she is looking dull, seems irritable for not passing urine, then please bring her to a pediatrician as soon as possible. If stool continues, please do stool routine and microbiology report. Above all advice will not help to stop the stool frequency but it will help to prevent the complication. Mostly it is looking like viral gastroenteritis so it will subside by itself only to just give ORS when she passed the motion to prevent dehy |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | I am experiencing a very stiff right index finger middle knuckle. It feels like it gets stuck in either straight or bent mode. When I try to either straighten or to bend it feels like it gets stuck and the two parts of the knuckle are rubbing against each other. When it finally moves it is very uncomfortable. | Trigger finger. Tendon usually glides easily through the tissue that covers it (called a sheath) because of a lubricating membrane surrounding the joint called the synovial. Sometimes a tendon may become inflamed and swollen. When this happens, bending the finger can pull the inflamed tendon through a narrowed tendon sheath, making it snap or pop and it some feels like locking. This can be caused by a repeated movement or forceful use of finger. Rheumatoid arthritis, gout, and diabetes also can cause trigger finger. So can grasp something, such as a power tool, with a firm grip for a long time. |

I can understand your concern. By your history and description, possibility of musculoskeletal pain is more. Since you are massage therapist, muscular strain is common in you. But better to rule out internal lung causes for your chest pain. So get done chest x-ray first. If chest x-ray is normal then no need to worry about lung disease.

I can understand your concern. I have gone through the x-ray report you have mentioned. This x-ray report is suggestive of bronchitis. And bronchitis can cause cough which needs to be inhaled bronchodilator and inhaled corticosteroids. No need to give antibiotics further as it can cause side effects. Better to consult pulmonologist and get done clinical examination of respiratory system and PFT (pulmonary function test). PFT will not only diagnose bronchitis, but it will also tell you about severity of the disease. And treatment of bronchitis is based on severity only. She will improve with inhaled bronchodilator (formoterol or albuterol) and inhaled corticosteroids (ICS)(budesonide or fluticasone). Strict control of diabetes is also needed.
