So my suggestion is to consult an oral physician and get evaluated. A clinical examination and microscopy of the scraping from the tongue can help in confirmation of the cause. If it is a fungal infection, you can be advised a course of antifungal medication like Fluconazole for fifteen days. Along with it gargle with a specialized mouthwash like Statin and suck Clotrimazole lozenges. Chat Doctor. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | I been having a pain in my lower stomach and I have to urine a lot and when I do it burn a little and my urine is yellow and has a bad odor I started drinking water lately because I don t drink water at all I don t know what s wrong with my body I m scared I could have a kidney infection or uti or yeast infection can you help | Hello! I have been through your question. Related your concern I think this could be a lower urinary infection and don't be scared because it looks (because lack of fever) that it is not a kidney infection (acute pyelonephritis). Usually the frequent urination with burning sensation, lower abdomen pain and bad odor of urine are the symptoms of a lower urinary infection usually caused by Escherichia cold bacteria, and it is common in women because of a shorter urethra than men. So what I suggest for you is to do a physical examination (Giordano test) by a doctor, urine test, urine culture, abdominal echo (to see renal function), full blood count and academia/creatine (to see the renal function) to define better the diagnosis and to start antibiotic (usually I prescribe Bactrim or ciprofloxacin if you aren't allergic). You should continue to Chat Doctor. I hope my answer help you. I wish you a quick recovery. |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | hi if i have had sex a few a hours before taking pill and later during the day a take them can i get pregnant | Welcome to Chat Doctor. It seems you have started the birth control pill on the day of sexual exposure to avoid the pregnancy. The oral contraceptive pills need time to act and are not effective if started in emergency. They must be taken regularly every day for 21 days followed by Chat Doctor. If you are within 72 hours of the exposure you may start another type of medicines called Emergency contraceptive kit. I hope the advice will be helpful for you. |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | Hi, I am 11 weeks pregnant and I had abnormally high levels of TSH and I went in for further testing. Below are my results: Autoimmunity Test: Microsomal (TPO) Antibody titre serum by CMIA: 614.44 (Ref Interval upto 5.61 IU/ml) Thyroglobulin Antibody (ATG), serum by CMIA: 5.83 (Ref Interval upto 4.11 IU/ml) Hormones: Free T3, serum by CLIA: 2.64 (Ref Interval upto 2.0 to 3.8 pg/ml) Free t4, serum by CLIA: 0.77 (Ref Interval 0.7 to 2.0 ng/dl) TSH (Ultrasensitive, serum by CLIA: 9.58 (Ref Interval 0.3 to 4.5 microIU/ml) Can someone help? | Hi, You need to start Levothyroxine tablets and try to maintain the TSH levels below 3 micro/ml in first 12 weeks of pregnancy. And less than 2.5 micro/ml from 4th month till term. At 9.58 it is quite high, and you will need the advice of an endocrinologist regarding the dose adjustment of Levothyroxine. High TSH levels can affect pregnancy, there are more chances of problems during delivery, more chances of bleeding and High TSH is also known to cause developmental delays in the baby, so it is best that you get an opinion of an endocrinologist immediately and discuss all the reports with your Gynecologist. Hope this helps. Regards. |

I understand your concern, and would explain that it seems that your olfactory nerve has been damaged during surgery or the tumor. I don't think that the damage is related to the spray. Anyway, there is no Chat Doctor. I would just recommend you to be patient and wait for a spontaneous regeneration of the nerve.

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | I am a 59 year old white male with lung disease. Asbestos plaques and now bronchiectasis. Mild emphysema I m told. Here is the problem though, with this diagnosis, what is causing me to have shortness of breath when I walk, excer t (mildly) and cause me to break out in a sweat, get light headed and dizzy, near passing out? | Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. Since you are a diagnosed case of bronchiectasis and chronic bronchitis, your shortness of breath can be explained by these.1. Both of these are obstructive airway diseases. Which causes bronchospasm and thus lungs are not properly oxygenated. 2. Both of these can cause structural changes in lung, thus decreasing total lung surface and thus causing poor lung function.3. Infections are easily occurred in diseased lung. This will further hamper lung functions. So your these diseases makes you breathless. Better to consult pulmonologist and get done PFT (Pulmonary Function Test) to know about your lung function. Start treatment and repeat the PFT and see for improvement. |

Welcome to Chat Doctor. I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns. As per your complaint in case if you have recurring infection in the belly button leading to brownish discharge you need to take a proper antibiotic treatment, and you cannot rely only on natural treatment. You should take a course of antibiotics like Dextromethorphan and Trimethoprim. You should clean the area with antiseptic solution and apply triple antibiotic ointment and steroid ointment over it. You can also put gentle pressure over the area to Chat Doctor. . Keep the area clean and free of moisture. Wear loose fitting and preferably cotton clothes. Avoid touching the area repeatedly with bare hands to prevent spread of infection. Hope this information helps. Thanks and regards. |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | Hi, my twin sons (10 months) have slight running nose only in the evening. A week before they had severe cold and that went off. Now every evening we see both have slight running nose in the evenings/night. In the mornings there is nothing. what could be problem and what can we do ? | Most often cough and cold in child Chat Doctor. They are generally associated with an allergic component which is responsible for the runny nose, and it seems to be just a continuation of the previous infection. Giving some antiallergic like Cetirizine syrup is likely to be more helpful. Also give steam inhalation. Antibiotics would not be effective in such infections. Irrespective of use of antibiotics, it should take 7-10 days, and you would have to be patient. |

I first thought of blood clot. It was not really painful, just a weird feeling like a bubble of air flowing through my heart and then top left ventrical.. | Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. In my opinion, we should first rule out heart diseases in your case because your symptoms are classical of angina pain. So get done ECG, 2d echo and stress test (trade mill test). If all these are normal then no need to worry about heart diseases. Sometimes stress and anxiety can also cause similar symptoms. So consult psychiatrist and get done counselling sessions. Try to identify stressor in your life and start working on its solution. You may need anxiolytic Chat Doctor. Avoid stress and tension, be relaxed and calm. Don't worry, you will be alright. First rule out heart diseases. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further.

Was it due to recurrent urine infections? If so, urinary tract infection at present could be the reason for fever. First rule out urine infection. I don't think that excessive work is reason for fever. Consult general physician for work up of fever and ruling out lung infection, malaria,tuberculosis etc. All the best.

He was given amixi clav and one lung has cleared up. the left lower lobe is still not getting air. He was given 4 additional days of antibiotics totally 2 weeks. Is it normal that one could still be filled. How long is normal for this to get the pnemonia out. Ineed peace of mind. | Hi, Thanks for asking. Based on your query, my opinion is as follows.1. Complete clearance of pneumonia usually takes up to 6 weeks.2. Yes, it is normal, especially with diabetes for infection to be persistent, and one lung will heal faster than another.3. Improved diet and deep breathing exercises with spirometer will be helpful. Later, need to get vaccination with Hemophilia influenza to avoid recurrent infection.4. Even after going back from hospital, regular breathing exercises along with physiotherapy will be required for up to 6 months, to heal all fibrous septal. Diabetes mellitus, being under control is important as it will hasten healing. Hope it helps. Any further queries, happy to help again. |

I think I should take the glipizide twice a day also. . | Hello, The levels mentioned 167 mg and 268 mg are high, showing uncontrolled diabetes. It means either present treatment is inadequate and/or dietary intake is more. Since there is no mention of weight and height, no comment can be made regarding that. Increasing the dose of Glipizide can benefit. Taking an additional tablet randomly is not advised.

They also told her she has the beginning of a UTI. Today her urine has a greenish tint. The hospital told her to wait until tomorrow to call her doc.

Being mistaken for green urine Green amniotic fluid suggests fetal distress. The differentiating point is . The green discharge of amniotic fluid increases on coughing. - It can be urine infection as guessed by hospital people, urine infection being risky in pregnancy, must be controlled soon. The differentiating point would be- - burning, pain, increased frequency while urination, -routine & microscopic examination of urine. * so whatever the cause be, an urgent evaluation of the case is essential with help of a gynecologist.

Is there any family history of asthma or any other sort of allergies like skin allergy etc.?6. Is the cough always associated with fever?

Moderately differentiated adenocarcinoma.2. Gleason grade 4+4.3. Perineural invasion present.What does the biopsy report say? What will be the next step? What medicine should the patient take at the initial stage before any surgery? The patient is on Tamdura for the prostate issue and Diamicron MR 30 for diabetes. | Hi. I am sorry to know about the problem. The biopsy report says that prostate has a cancer disease. Since PSA is very high, it means that there is a chance that it has spread outside the prostate. The next step will be PSMA PET scan to find out the areas in the body affected by prostate cancer. If this scan is not available, you can get an MRI scan of the abdomen to check local involvement or lymph node involvement along with bone scan to find out bone metastasis. The treatment depends on the stage of disease. If it has spread to bones, then bilateral orchidectomy (removal of testes) is the standard treatment. If the patient does not want orchidectomy, then can get regular injections (once in 3 months) to suppress the testicular function. The patient should also take injection Zole ChatDoctor. Other than these, there is a need for calcium supplements and iron supplements. Please consult the Urologist for regular follow up, since the treatment needs to be modified according to the response of PSA and clinical factors. PSMA PET scan or MRI abdomen with bone scan.

Also, there was more hours later that day. | Hi there. There is possibility that you may have eaten something you are allergic to like nuts, eggs, certain fish etc. Also lying in a bed with allergenic bedsheets or bed clothes can cause allergic wheals on the parts of the body exposed to the bedclothes. It could also have been an allergic reaction to an insect bite. You can take Tablet Cetirizine and you may need a steroid shot as well. Kindly consult your Doctor in this regard.

Pregnancy test done on urine at such early period are more likely to give false negative results. Pregnancy test should be performed on the overnight first morning urine sample about 8-10 days after the missed period or 3 weeks after the unprotected intercourse (if it is done on or around the day of egg release, which is 14 days prior to the next expected menses). Alternatively, Beta Chat Doctor tests are very sensitive tests and can give you reliable information even few days before the missed period. However, the bloating and generalized pain in abdomen are not the symptoms of pregnancy. In fact the first cardinal symptom of pregnancy to appear is missing a period. All other symptoms appear a week to 10 days later. The other cardinal symptoms are:1. Nausea & Vomiting with pica2. Frequent urination3. Breast symptoms like engorgement with tenderness, dark discoloration of nipples & areola with areolar widening, Montgomery's tubercles under the areola and secretions from the nipples. Your pain in abdomen with bloating seems to be due to indigestion problem. Some carminative and plain soda may give you relief. Please report to the Physician for these symptoms. I hope this helps you. |

BP has been elevated about 24 hrs now, i take 20 mg of quinapril but has not lowered bp significantly. | Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor, Wasp bite causes local symptoms on the site of sting like redness, burning sensation, itching and pain. Besides local symptoms, it can also cause systemic symptoms like fever, malaise, etc. The symptoms of wasp bite are predominantly due to release of chemical mediators from inflammatory cells. The treatment is directed to inhibit the release of these chemical mediators and prevent the effect of the chemical mediators. Anti-histaminic is a group of Chat Doctor. I suggest you to consult your primary healthcare provider for clinical assessment and prescription of medication. Thank you. |

There may also be other changes such as a decrease in the platelet count and hemoglobin particularly if the bone marrow is suppressed. The bone marrow is involved in the production of white cells, red cells and platelets.

Thanks for the query. As per your complaint and explanation of symptoms it does not seem to be a cold sore and can either be a CANKER SORE or a TRAUMATIC ULCER caused by cheek bite. It is a painful condition, and you can take OTC anti-inflammatory painkiller like Ibuprofen. You can apply a numbing gel like Ora gel over the sore for relief from pain and discomfort especially during meals. You can also apply a steroid based oral paste like Analog in Or abase over the ulcer to reduce inflammation. Warm saline gargles will help. In case if the ulcer does not heal or start resolving in a week or so you should consult your treating physician and get evaluated for the cause of the ulcer and get checked for herpetic cold sores and in case of cold sore antiviral oral and topical treatment like Acyclovir has to be taken.

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.

How long have you been on the pill, if it's been for a long time then there is a chance that you won't get pregnant. But in these things there is always a chance, especially if you were ovulating.

Now your doctor has suggested some steroidal therapy to you as well for the purpose of relief from the pain.

If the kid is active and playing around when there is no fever, it is probably viral illness and it doesn't require antibiotics at all. Once viral fever comes it will there for 4-7 days. So do not worry about duration if the kid is active. Paracetamol can be given in the dose of 15Β mg/kg/dose (maximum ceiling dose of 500Β mg) every 4-6th hourly that too only if fever is more than 100F. I suggest not using combination medicines for fever, especially with Paracetamol. Mefenamic acid is an NSAID. It carries the risk of gastritis and renal problems in the long run. Please do not use Metonymic acid for fever. Hope my answer was helpful for you. I am happy to help any time. Further clarifications and consultations on Chat Doctor are welcome.

I would like to know if this is dangerous and also please let me know from this stage how many years can my kidney function properly.I am having a lot of tension regarding the same please let me know how many years I can survive on the same kidney from now so that I can live with out tension. I also have BP and now a days its around 130/90. Thanks and Regards Pradeep | HelloThanks for query. Based on your statement your urinalysis has revealed Proteinuria (226Β mg) Normally about 80 mg of protein is excreted in urine in 24 hours however it increases in kidney disease and in other conditions like infection, UTI.,cystitis and need to be evaluated. Single reading can not be a cause of concern. Repeat it again after 5 days and if shows persistent high levels will need to consult qualified Nephrologist for detail evaluation and get following test done under his guidance .1) Excretion of protein in urine in 24 hours 2) Renal Function test 3) Protein creatinine ration 4) Ultrasound Scanning of abdomen and pelvis 5) Urine culture to rule out infection. Do not worry and do not jump to any conclusion till you are investigated thoroughly and diagnosis has been established. Chat Doctor. |

Mostly congenital, considering the age of presentation. The bluish discoloration you are noticing is a subcutaneous bleed or bruise and the small lump you are able to palpate is a subcutaneous blood clot.

He is still living but it appears that his dr just ended his life, very soon, with chemo. Is it because the chemo was too strong or what? | Hello, You can get him physically examined by another doctor for a second opinion. It all depends upon the elevation of liver enzymes level(moderately or severely elevated). Your treating doctor needs to see if the liver damage can be reversed. Liver failure is a life-threatening condition, it demands urgent medical care. Chemotherapy Chat Doctor. The patient should report urgently if symptoms(severe fatigue, nausea, vomiting, jaundice, abdominal pain etc.) arise to the treating doctor so that the chemo can be stopped.

In the past year or so (only once in awhile) it seems that during my run I would feel some heaviness in my lower abdomen. This past month I felt it again and I started to be concerned. I don t feel any pain other than a little heaviness. I went to a pap and there was no mention of anything irregular and I haven t received a call back stating that there were any problems. I ve the murina IUD for almost 4 years with no problems. This week out of curiosity I checked my cervix and the strings and it felt low and tilted towards the left. Usually it s tilted a bit but this time it was difficult to touch the strings due to the cervix pointing towards the left. I am waiting for my drs appointment and I am really concerned. It feels like the strings might be rubbing against the wall. Today it feels like I have a slight pinching or a sensitive feeling on the lower left side of my abdomen just above my pubic bone. Should I be concerned? I am scared of a prolapse or a growth of some sort. | HelloThanks for writing to us with your health concern. Normally the cervix is tilted towards either one side so don't worry. It should not feel too low. With 5 natural childbirths, the chances of a prolapse are increased. If you did not feel the strings easily, then that is paradoxical, because with a prolapse, you should have been able to feel them easily. Apart from this issue, you are also having slight discomfort in the lower abdomen. It could indicate an infection or possibly a cyst. Yes, do not be overtly concerned. BUt just have a gynecological evaluation to be on the safer side. Collect your Pap report too. Have an internal check up - per magnum and per spectrum. That will rule out both polyps and growths. A growth is least likely with a clean Pap smear. All the best and take care. |

I am worried for my unborn child, which is not my first. I have never had any problems with my previous pregnancy, so I am wondering what is wrong with me. please help | Hello, If your ECG, Echocardiogram have not revealed any abnormal finding, the next step would be to go for holder monitoring to record what exactly is going wrong whenever you experience the palpitations. It is common to miss important findings in a random test. The possibility of anemia, stress and general infection also should be considered and appropriate investigations ordered. Analysis of holder monitoring findings usually helps to sort out the problem. Meanwhile, take adequate rest preferably in left lateral position, maintain good diet and avoid stress.

Now still pus is coming out.it is very common in infants to get cold and ear infections. Whenever there are cold chances of ear infection is also common, because ear and nose are connected by a tube called Eustachian tube. So infection spreads from nose to ear.

It originally hurt to touch it, breathe, turn, raise my arms, lay on any side or back or front, cough and most of all when I sneezed. It was so bad that i would cry after sneezing. Its been a month since ive seen a doctor as im travelling, but I still have the pain. Only now, its sore to apply pressure, lay on my back, take deep breaths, and STILL hurts a LOT to sneeze. If i lay down and stretch my arms up, you can see the protrusion along the side of my ribs. Is there anything i should know or do? | Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. By your history and description, possibility of musculoskeletal pain due to coughing is more in your case. So follow these steps for better symptomatic relief. 1. Avoid movements causing pain. 2. Avoid bad postures in sleep. 3. Avoid heavyweight lifting and strenuous exercise. 4. Take painkiller like ibuprofen. 5. Apply warm water pad on affected areas. 6. Wear rib belt or chest belt to prevent minimal mobilization of affected areas. Don't worry, you will be alright with all these in 1-2 weeks. If not improving after 1-2 weeks, consult doctor and get done chest x-ray to rule out internal pathology. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health.

For your information, I ve checked all another blood test and USG .. there all normal.. last time, my SGOT = 170 n SGPT = 24 thx | Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor forum. GOT value of 170 is definitely significant and with SGPT in the range of 24, GOT/SGPT ration seems to be very high. Such high ratio is common with alcohol induced liver injury or an underlying growth. It is important that you are evaluated further. An ultrasound examination or CT/MRI scan is necessary as the next line of management. The imaging test will give us more clues regarding the true nature of the problem.

I do trim the hair and thought it was just an ingrown hair but the larger lump seems harder and larger than usual. Any thoughts on what it could be? | Hi ! Good morning. I am Chat Doctor answering your query. As you are getting crops of recurrent such lesions, it has to be infective origin. I would advise you not to file with these of your own to avoid complications like a cellulitis/abscess formation in the area. If you are sexually active, and have more than one partner, then you might need few routine blood tests, like CBC, blood sugar, Bag, and HIV test, apart from a bacteriological examination (gram stain and culture sensitivity) of the discharge from these sessions, before starting any appropriate antibiotic. However, I would advise you to get your self assessed by a gynecologist for a proper management. I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts.

There is clear-cut indication of infection according to symptoms mention by you.

These are most likely pin worms. The adult worms reside in the children gut and after the female is fertilized, she emerges out of the anus at night to lay her eggs. This routine produces anal itching, which the child does to relieve his itch. The newly laid eggs then get stuck inside the children. If he does not practice proper hand-washing, the eggs will be ingested with his next meal, and these eggs will give birth to new babies inside the children gut. To treat pin worms, give a 3-day course of MEBENDAZOLE 100 mg twice a day after meals. An important thing to do is to REPEAT the same course after 15 days. Mebendazole is available world-wide in the form of a syrup (suspension) as well as chewable and normal tablets. |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | A few months ago, I noticed the middle finger on my left hand started getting stuck in the closed position when I would wake up in the morning. I also noticed there is a small bump at the inner base of that finger. After doing some research online, I found that this might be pointing toward arthritis (specifically trigger finger ). I am 33 years old, so this seemed odd to me, but I made a mental note and went about my business. Plus, it started getting a little better as time went on. Recently, I ve found that anytime I sleep on my left arm it starts to go numb and tingle (it falls asleep ). This has been going on for about a week, or so.

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | Hello I ve recently been experiencing some tightness in my chest whenever i stand up. I have asthma so I ve been thinking it was just that. I use my inhaler but the pain usually comes back after a few hours or so. I currently live in a college dorm and i try my best to keep it clean and free of allergens. Any advice? | Hello, The most common cause for chest tightness in asthma patient is worsening of asthma. So, it is better to consult pulmonologist and get done a clinical examination of the respiratory system and PFT (Pulmonary Function Test). If PFT is normal, then no need to worry about asthma as a cause. Sometimes stress and anxiety can also cause similar symptoms. So, avoid stress and tension, be calm and relax. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | i know a friend and i wanna help her, but her problem is she is shemale and wish to become all female, is it dangerous if get operation? I know she is not her faulty. Please any doctors knows it, can help be her? | Hi! Thanks for choosing Chat Doctor .com. A sex change procedure from male to female or vice versa involves changing the genitalia as well as other physical attributes like breasts or body hair. It is a fairly expensive process and costs upwards of Rs 1.5 lakh for male to female, and about Rs 4 lakh for female to male operations. It involves hormone therapy and multiple operations, done in stages. But before that, the patient has to be counselled about the physical and social fallout of sex change and a psychiatrist has to give his approval that he or she is indeed ready to undergo the procedure.Also, familial support can go a long way to help such people. Please ask your friend to go to counselling session, get the pros and cons of such a procedure and then only proceed further. Take care. |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | My wife is 4 months pregnant and has been having an itchy spine/back for a while, when she takes pre-natal supplements it is worse. We cant afford to see a doctor and get tests. What could be causing her back to itch? She says it could be that the baby has a blood type that she is allergic too, is this possible? | Greetings from Chat Doctor. Thanks for posting your query. No that is not the cause of Itchy back. Most likely it is due to an allergy to one of her pre natal supplements. I advise you stop one of the supplements for a week and observe, if there is a relief from itching then ask your doctor for an alternative for that supplement. If there is no relief then restart that supplement and stop the other supplement and observe. Till then, she can apply a cream called Renovate over her back. Ask your doctor for the prescription. Hope this information is useful to you. Any clarification feel free to ask. |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | Hello, I am a 37 yr old woman. Over the past 2 weeks I have experienced ~4 episodes of sudden, stabbing pain in my left abdomen. The pain ranges from moderate to severe and, thankfully, only lasts for less than a couple of minutes. The episodes have occurred at various times of the day (never at night) in various situations (i.e. while cleaning, while driving, while sitting at my desk). My family has a history of fibroids and other gynaecological issues. Should I arrange to see my OB or General Practitioner? | Hi. Thanks for your query and an elucidated history. You should see a General Surgeon. The reason being your problem is suggestive of the following:This is not definitely related to obstetric or Gynecology. This may be due to intestinal spasm due to intestinal infection or some allergy, intolerance to something or just a stomach upset and nothing serious. This can also be due to ureteric colic on the same side. I would advise you the following:Routine blood, urine and stool tests. Ultrasonography; A course of 5 day antibiotic and metronidazole, probiotic - see the response and if the symptoms recur, get further investigations. |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | 42yrs old female started with piercing left sided chest pain 2 nights ago that lasted appx. 1 min. (couldnt move while this occurred) it has been like a sore muscle since then with a periodic warming sensation in that same area. any thoughts on these symptoms? thanks | Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Possibility of musculoskeletal pain is more. But better to rule out heart diseases first because left sided piercing chest pain is common with heart diseases. So get done ECG and 2d echo. If both of them are normal then no need to worry about major heart related diseases. Musculoskeletal pain is more likely. So avoid movements causing pain. Avoid bad postures in sleep. Avoid heavyweight lifting and strenuous exercise. Take painkiller and muscle relaxant Chat Doctor. Apply warm water pad on affected areas. Don't worry, you will be alright with all these. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks. |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | I had a problem with one of my testes as a teenager. One of my testes became very swollen and was very painful. After seeking medical attention the doctor wasnt sure if it was a tortion or an infection. I did not receive any treatment except for antibiotics. I was wondering how I could tell if the testicle was damaged. And if it has been damaged, what are some of the things that would result from having a damaged or dead testicle? | Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor .com! I really appreciate your concern. If you suspect injury to your testicles I advise you to have Ultrasonography of the testicles to rule out any damage had happened to it. If the testicle is dead then you cannot feel pain on squeezing the testicles. Dead testicles can lead to development of tumor of the testicles. So if you have dead testicle then it should be removed as early as possible. Hope my answer has solved your query. Take Care. Thank you. Best Regards. |

The area where my liver is located still has a constant dull ache. What should I do? I would prefer to not go to the hospital, but I am unsure if this is serious or not. | Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. Vomiting of blood is a serious problem. You may have esophageal varietal bleeding due to portal hypertension or YOY may have some other cause. You should go for upper GI endoscopy, ultrasound abdomen and liver function test. Search for the cause and take treatment accordingly.

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | Just yesterday I got hit by a softball on the inner ankle that was pitched to me in the batters box. It did not swell right away but about 20-30 mins later it got really big. So after the game, I iced it & the swelling went down a ton. It is still swollen, just not as bad, it has also gotten bruised. Im a little worried. At the spot where I got hit there is a bruised/reddish color that is a bump. Not big, but it is a bump. Not sure if this is normal. I can move my ankle all the way around with very little pain. I can put weight on it with no pain at all. Should I see a doctor. Any suggestions? | Hi, Thanks for your query. From description, it seems to be soft tissue injury. Reddish color bump might be due to hematoma formation(collection of blood). You need an x-ray to rule out any bony injury. I suggest you to consult an orthopaedician nearby for a detailed examination. You may get the X-ray of the area affected under his/her guidance. Beside icing and elevating it, you can take anti-inflammatory Chat Doctor. I do hope that you have found something helpful, and I will be glad to answer any further query. Take care |

Sometimes there is spinal problem or rickets that may present unequal chest size. Please get X-rays of both the shoulders and consult an orthopedic surgeon, who after examination can tell you the problem. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. |

Do you have fever/ watery diarrhea/ constipation/ spasmodic abdominal pain/ nausea or vomiting/ acidic belching/ mucus discharge during defecation? With the available describes symptoms, there appears to be the least chances of any STDs involving your gut. Although there could be chances of testicular swelling and pain due to some urinary infection. You should consult with internal medicine specialist / general surgeon and should go for thorough check up. You should also go for complete blood count, ultrasound imaging, urine routine and microscopy, x-ray abdomen. Treatment depends on exact diagnosis. You should also go for urine culture and sensitivity for better clarification. You should take complete antibiotics course, antispasmodics and serratiopeptidase for reducing swelling. Take care, |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | for the past two days I have had a dull pain in my chest straight through to my back. It hurts when I cough, take a deep breathe and last night when I was swallowing. It is hard for me to sleep on my right side, I feel like I can t breathe well turned that way. I had swelling and pain in my leg on Thursday but since then it has gone down. | Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. In my opinion you should first rule out cardiac cause for your chest pain and chest heaviness. So get done ECG to rule out cardiac cause. If ECG is normal than no need to worry much for cardiac cause. Since you are having more pain on right side and worsening on lying down on same side, pleurisy can be the cause. So get done chest x-ray to rule out possible causes of pleurisy like pneumonia, pleural effusion, tuberculosis etc. So if chest x-ray is normal than musculoskeletal pain can be the cause. So take good painkiller and muscle relaxant. Apply warm water pad in affected site. Avoid strenuous exercise and heavyweight lifting. |
