ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | 2 1/2 years ago I was in ICU with toxic shock. at one point my vital organs started to shut down but was brought back from the "brink". But now on my records it says I had heart failure. Could my heart have been damaged and would this account for the breathlessness on exertion? It soon goes when I sit down.I am 81 weigh 11 1/2 stone and am taking Amlodipine 5mg for BP and otherwise feel reasonabley fit and intend to lose more weight | Hi, Certainly heart failure can cause symptoms like breathlessness, swelling of legs, and weakness. For confirmation of the same, you should get one echo done which will confirm the diagnosis. Also have low salt and water diet for some time and look for the response. Maintain healthy lifestyle like avoid fatty, oily and high calorie diet. Have low salt diet and monitor blood pressure regularly. Regular exercises like brisk walking, jogging according your capacity at least 30 min a day and 5 days a week. Eat lots of green leafy vegetables, fruits, fish once or twice a week, and avoid meat. Avoid smoking and alcohol if any. There shouldn't abdominal fat deposition or obesity. Get your lipid profile and sugars tested once. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | My 12 year old brother is having middle stomach pain. This has been going on for about 7 months now. My mom has taken him to the doctor and the have done tests that haven t shown anything out of the ordinary. He has asperger s syndrome and that comes with hypersensitivity issues so this might be hurting him worse then it would someone without these issues. He likes to sleep on the couch at night. He says his stomach hurts more when he sleeps in his own bed. He takes prozac for the asperger s and clonidine to help him sleep. They also put him on Lorazepam because they thought that the stomach pain might be from anxiety.He weighs about 140 and is about 4 9 . We just don t k-now if it s anxiety or something actually physical. Can you help? | Hello, As you already consulted with doctor, still has abdominal pain. Do ultrasound abdomen and endoscopy. You can give tablet Norfolk TZ, tablet Cyclops, and tablet Albendazole as per his weight. Did he have history of vomiting and diarrhea? Give him boiled or RO water. Maintain proper hygiene. I will suggest you to follow up with detailed history or consult with pediatrician for detailed examination. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. |

I understand that you are going through a difficult period. You have mentioned that of late you feel more angry and irritable and that you are not able to feel enjoyment or happiness. All these symptoms could be indicative of a depression. Since this seems to be affecting you as well as your marital relationship, it is necessary that you seek professional help. Help is available in the form of medication to relax your mind as well as counselling. So, I would suggest that you consult a psychiatrist in your place for a detailed evaluation and further treatment. Best wishes, |

What are the doctors missing? I am a very active working good healthy woman. | Hello! Thank you for asking on Chat Doctor! I understand your concern, and would like to explain that your complaints are non-specific ones. They cannot raise strong suspicions for a certain health disorder, so we could promptly correct the problem with some pills or other alternative therapy. Seems that there is necessary a comprehensive differential diagnosis work up, to arrive at the right way. I would recommend first to exclude any cardiac function implication by performing a resting ECG, a cardiac ultrasound, and a conclusive comment. If the above is OK, we can proceed wit ha differential diagnosis of those pulmonary granular nodules. It may be an inflammation, a systemic pulmonary involvement, etc. A pulmonologist and internist judgement would be required on the scene. Some additional tests, may be necessary (some inflammatory markers, pulmonary function test, arterial blood gases analysis, liver and function tests, etc.). You need to discuss with your attending doctors, as they have the clear view of all your already performed tests and examination, If you bring additional detailed medical data, I could give a concrete opinion. Hope to have been helpful to you. Greetings! |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | I have 8 mm kidney stone in the flesh of my right kidney. Ten years ago due to kidney cancer my left kidney was removed. My urologist tried the method up thorugh my penis. Lately I have noticed pain in my right flank and back. I think the. only method left is skin removal | HIF you have stone in the only kidney left then it definitely needs treatment. If the procedure through the penis has failed then the other method to try is called PCNL. This involves puncturing the kidney through the flank. Since you have got pain now, I would advise you to get another CT scan done and see the current position and size of stone and formulate treatment accordingly. Meanwhile, try mild painkillers as paracetamol or codeine through your doctor. |

Neurologist has asked me to see him next week saying that I should be fine till then.I have also started facial exrercises.Today I have been sensing flickering in the eyes and the lips would not close earlier are closing now feel a bit heavy only at times. Does this mean that I am Improving? Or is there something I need to worry about. | Hi, Based on the information provided you are having flickering in eyes and now able to close the lip, its very good sign and strong reason to believe that you are IMPROVING. In bells Palsy one nerve is being compressed or injured, but in your case its seems like it got COMPRESSED, and the STEROIDS will help To reduce the swelling leading to get the nerve back to it original function. Here is some information about nerves, I think it will help you in understanding it better, nerves are like electric wires which conducts electricity from main switch to appliance in the same fashion the nerves collects information from surrounding and sends the information to brain to analysis, for example if you put your leg in fire, the nerve will say it's hot, the information passes to brain and brain will reply to remove the leg from the fire its very fast process, as it happens in fraction of second. Hope it helps. |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | i had a feelings of heartburn i consulted cardiologist they have done my angiography In this scan they say i am having 90% blockage in one arteries and 70% on second.............Cardio says i should have bypass surgery but i insist there should be some second way i mean treatment with medicine | Hello. Thank you for your question and welcome to Chat Doctor. I read your query and I understand your concern. By the brief information you provided, I am assuming these blockages are in delicate parts of coronary arteries. Further, I think the main blockage is in the left main coronary artery (YMCA) or in the Ostia (entering) part of the left anterior descendant (LAD) artery. From all data that exist and from our clinics experience, the stent placement in these portions is a very dangerous procedure, both technically and from a result-oriented point of view. Therapy with Chat Doctor. But, this blockage will eventually get bigger and totally block the artery, causing a heart attack which, in this position of the artery, is potentially lethal. Therefore, my recommendation is that you should proceed with the coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). Of course, the choice is only yours. I hope I was helpful and thorough in my answer. Good luck! |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | Hi. A long time ago, my tooth (left, upper) was impacted due to a bicycle accident. Since then, I observed pus (without pain) in the gum right where the impacted tooth is. Now, I notice a flesh has grown that looks like a skin tag on that part of the gum. Sometimes it has pus and bleeding. | Dear sir/ Mam, I understand your problem. Whenever a tooth erupts, it will tear the tissue above it to enter the mouth. When an impacted tooth erupts a little before getting impacted, the tissue above it will be loose and flabby. This loose tissue attracts and encourage food impaction. Constant food accumulation under this tissue will not allow it to heal. As an inflammatory process the tissue will become like a tag, develops pus and bleeds at times. As a first line of treatment cut the tissue tag, clean that area and take antibiotics. If it recurs, take an X-ray to check whether there is any possibility of the tooth to erupt by its own. If not try orthodontic eruption(braces) of tooth. If nothing is possible last line of treatment is the removal of that problematic tooth. Hope your query is answered. For further queries please don't hesitate to contact back. Thank you. |

I have had this feeling before a few years back, but now it is happening to me throughout the day on a daily basis. I also have a dry cough which has made the condition worse. Sometimes I ll get a coughing fit and my stomach will suddenly knot up which is very scary and painful because I worry that I won t get it unknotted again. Hope you can help me. | Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. By your history and description, possibility of HERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease) is more likely. GERD is due to laxity of gastroesophageal sphincter. Because of this, the acid of the stomach tends to come up in the esophagus and cause symptoms of coughing, burning chest pain, chest pressure and tightness. So follow these steps for better symptomatic relief. 1. Avoid hot and spicy food. Avoid junk food. 2. Avoid large meals, instead take frequent small meals.3. Avoid stress and tension, be relaxed and calm.4. Take pantoprazole and levosulperide combination on empty stomach twice daily.5. Go for walking after meals. Lose weight if you are obese.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. |

The way you describe may suggest chronic pyelonephritis(infection in kidneys) which have led to scarring.

I still have the lump in my armpit and my breasts are still sore even though my period is done. Should I wait to see doctor or could this be cancer? | Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. You are having axillary lymph node. This can be due to either infection or malignancy. In my opinion you should first get done mammography of breast and ultrasound of maxilla. If lymph node can be biopsied easily than get done biopsy from node. If this is negative for malignancy than no need to worry much. Post menopause hormonal changes are quite common. So these changes can cause soreness in breast. So get done biopsy from the axillary swelling and rule out malignancy. |

Whenever the mucosa comes in contact with the mucosa or the skin there will be chance of transmission of the STIs. The most common STIs are chlamydia, trachomas, herpes, hepatitis and HIV can be transmitted by the unprotected sex. The chance of getting all this infection is possible if your partner is having these aforementioned infections. The chance of transmission will be there, but there are other factors like viral load and period of communicability. To rule out the possibility you may require physical and labor examination to rule out the presence of infection. Thank you. |

First be relaxed and calm. Blood pressure of 135/95 MMH is not considered as high. It is not causing your symptoms. Possibility of stress and anxiety related symptoms is more. But if you really want to rule out Pulmonary embolism (PE) and Pulmonary hypertension (PH), then get done CT Pulmonary angiography. If this is normal then your breathlessness and Chest discomfort are due to stress and anxiety. So consult psychiatrist and get done counselling sessions.

I first noticed it about 4-5 days ago when there was no obvious sign of rash, just minor itchiness and a couple of bumps. Now there a distinct red circle of bumps about the circumference of a soda can, maybe a little smaller. Their appearance is a bit bubbly but does not contain puss from what I can tell. This rash hurts more than it itches. It doesn t itch hardly at all, and I d say the pain level is about a 1-2 (on a scale of 1-10). The rash has grown in size each day, but not significantly (maybe a 1/2 inch in diameter over the last 3 days). There is also a similar onset of bumps and tingling beginning to form just beneath my armpit. In the past couple of weeks I have done a lot of hiking outdoors and in secluded forest-like areas. I have not changed soaps or anything along those lines recently. After doing some simple research on the internet I m still rather clueless as to what this rash could be. | Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor. I have gone through your query. Based on the description and sites of lesion, it is highly likely to be a fungal infection Tania corporal(Ring worm). It is a common fungal infection, usually seen on areas of body where there is moisture like underarms, groin region, finger spaces. But it can present virtually anywhere on the body. As you have been experiencing less itching and more pain it could be due to a wild strain (as of have mentioned that you have gone hiking and secluded in forest areas). Do not worry. Using topical preparations that contain antifungal(clotrimazole, micanazole or ketoconazole), a steroid (dexamethasone OT triamcinolone or clobetasol) and an antibiotic (Aureomycin or gentamicin) should help you. If you have severe pain using NSAIDs like Diclofenac or diclofenac along with serration peptide will help you. But please see a Dermatologist to rule out other possibilities for the lesions (as I did not see the lesion I can not be accurate with my diagnosis but probability of you having ring worm infection is high) and get treated accordingly.

He is on medication , but we are curious to know what could be the reason for this happening in night time? | HelloThanks for your query. I will try my best to provide you with the best possible professional recommendations to your questions. One of the basic reasons for a spike in blood pressure levels at night is due to nighttime noises which can range from traffic on the roads, to airplanes flying over-head to stray animals making a noise. Certain researchers have found out that Blood pressure levels have also been linked to the weather and research has proven that during the daytime in hot weather the blood pressure falls, but there is a marked increase in the level of systolic blood pressure at night. Restless Leg Syn Chat Doctor. I advise you to meet the physician and thorough examination of your dad is must, and he must take the medication regularly without fail and regular monitoring of his blood pressure. Yet again, I do hope that you have found something helpful, and I will be glad to answer any further queries. Regards |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | Hello doctor,I am 31 years old. I am married for the last two years, but still, I am not successful in doing intercourse with my wife and I am really frustrated. Also, my foreskin on the penis does not draw back when tried. I want your help in doing successful intercourse with my wife. When I consulted a sexologist, he says that I need to do circumcision, as the foreskin does not draw back. When I try to insert the penis, it is not getting inside her vagina, but shrinks and stays at the head of the vagina only. Please help. | Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor forum. I understand your concern. You are having phimosis. In phimosis, the foreskin does not role back and it is difficult to do intercourse. The other thing which can cause foreskin not to roll back are genital candidiasis but as per your description, you are having phimosis. You should do circumcision, it is the best treatment available and it is very effective. You should consult a general surgeon or urologist, they will do the procedure in your penis. Do not worry circumcision is a minor procedure done under local anesthesia and it is an out patient procedure. It will take only two weeks to recover completely and it will solve your problem permanently and also it will help you to enjoy sex also. I hope this helps. |

These have never been there before and he seems to be sucking on his lips more. The only thing that I could think of would be because of his baby food. We are trying him out on new foods and I thought maybe he had an allergy to one of them. Can you please help me? Thank you so much! | Hello, I can understand your concern. From the explanation of the problem, it seems that red spots inside the lower lip are due to allergic reaction to some food item that the child has come in contact with. I would advise you to visit a dentist or pediatrician for the clinical examination of the bumps, so diagnosis can be confirmed. Based on the diagnosis, antihistamines can be prescribed that can help in curing allergy. In addition, you can go for a blood test for allergy that can evaluate what substance your child is allergic to and that can be avoided in the future. I hope this information helps you.

It was terrifying. After making it to the bathroom and getting rid of what I thought was everything in my stomach, shaking and sweating, I made it back to bed. Then about 1 1/2 hours later it happened again, but this time I crawled to the bathroom. But didn t make it, passed out on the bath floor, hit my head - but regained consciousness almost immediately.

But till she is suffering from fever between 102 to 103. Is it a Viral or Thypoid fever | HIT hanks for posting your query to Chat Doctor See NS1 test could be negative if done after 3 days of fever, so I advise getting IGM Dengue Antibodies to check if Dengue fever is there or not. It is unlikely for Typhoid fever to cause low platelet but sometimes typhoid fever co-exists with Viral fever and in that case Platelet count can be low. So I advise you to get IGM Ty phi Dot to check for Typhoid fever. I also advise getting Urine routine test. Repeat platelet count everyday till it reaches normal value. The possibility of viral fever is very high and if temperature is of 102-103 then better you admit her to a hospital. Hope this information was useful to you. Any clarifications feel free to ask. |

You can continue whatever you have been feeding her regularly. But do remember that the appetite might be down and do not force-feed her.2. Fever of few days without any localizing signs could as well a viral illness. Usually rather than fever, what is more important is the activity of the child, in between 2 fever episodes on the same day. If the kid is active and playing around when there is no fever, it is probably viral illness and it doesn't require antibiotics at all. Once viral fever comes it will there for 4-7 days.

Its like i have to tell it to lift. It doesn t hurt just gets really heavy and it s only the right one. I am 53 femal | Dear patient Your right thigh muscles are getting fatigue easily and reason for that might be arterial stenosis. This leads to decreased blood supply to working muscles especially when they are exercising and has increased demand for blood and oxygen as per your description. When you take rest demand for blood is reduced and hence pain is relieved. Are you smoker? If yes stenosis is likely. This need to be investigated with arterial Doppler of involved limb and ct angiography of involved limb vessels. Visit radiology center nearby you and get it done.

In my opinion the cause of infertility can be due to both male and female factors. As you are on higher side and if your cycles are irregular then it needs to be evaluated for any thyroid abnormalities, polycystic ovarian disease(POD) etc. Early ejaculation might not be a in Chat Doctor. So I suggest you to consult urologist for your husband.Otherwise, if your cycles are regular and no other problem then there are good chances of pregnancy. Avoid stress and anxiety as they cause hormonal imbalance and delay fertility further. Practice regular intercourse to increase the conception chances. Nothing to worry. Usually infertility treatment is started when pregnancy does not occur even after 1 year of unprotected intercourse. So relax. Best regards... |

For now, I recommend for my patients hot foments with physiotherapy and massages with topical gels, painkillers like NSAIDs, muscle relaxants will be effective otherwise you may ask your neurosurgeon for further evaluation on your vertebral column.

The only medications I take are 20mg Adderall XR 2x a day, once when I wake up, the other at noon. Around midnight I go to bed and take 2x Benadryl to help me breathe better. Issue #1: For the last 2 years any tiny bit of bending over or walking when theres no airflow in the room causes me to sweat super heavy from my head. I mean heavy heavy. I use my sleave to wipe it off and its soaked. This is really embarrassing at work. Issue #2: I keep waking up with my face swelling up slowly and then all of a sudden I feel like im being choked and for about 2-3 minutes I have to struggle to breathe and then it goes away. I smoke about a half pack a day but I dont think this is smoking related, it feels more like an alergic reaction but the thing is this has been going on every few days or so for awhile now.

I ve ruled out bed bugs and scabies and crabs because my wife sleeps in the same bed and she has absolutely zero issues. I have no bite marks and no rash.

Early morning sneezing is also a sign of chronic allergy and some simple things to do over a few weeks would help you. Avoid dust exposure as much is possible, cover nostrils & mouth when be in a dusty situation. Try covering you head during night and identify whether morning sneezing also happens because of temperature variation during night (sleeping directly opposite a fan, extra cool or warm room etc.). If so avoid this. For blacked nose take steam two-three times daily. Start breathing exercises.deep breath.hold.and release slowly. Many times daily. When severe symptoms are there, use over the counter anti-allergic medicines with decongestants. You can continue with It C. persistent blocking may lead to a sinus infection so consult a Physician or ENT person if things don't get better. Do well. Chat Doctor. |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | I am shivery, have loss of appetite, heavy eyes and feel very weak. The hospital I work in has diagnosed patients and some staff with TB that are in a ward which I am not in contact with. I am a 42 year old female who is diabetic, who is prone to bowls under my arm but I am on medication for this. I use insulin once in the evening and take all the usual medicines also for my diabetes, weight about 11.2 stone and height 5.3. Thank-you. | I can understand your concern. The symptoms you mentioned may be seen in Tuberculosis infected person, but not necessarily confirmation of the diagnosis. Since you mentioned that you are not in contact with them, your chances of getting infected with Tuberculosis is less. Boils under the arm may be of varied causes, not particularly of tuberculosis infection. Its always better to consult your doctor for further tests if your condition is not improving with the medication. Always keep check of your sugars, as even uncontrolled sugars makes you more prone for infections. Hope my advice is of help to you. I will be happy to answer any further concerns. |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | Hi My daughter has freequent cough and cold and it will serious sometimes. We have already consulted 4 doctors and they that this is a allergic cough. Not sure how to get rid of it as my little daughther is sufferiing a lot since a quite long time. Your advice is highly appreciated. | Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. By your history and description, possibility of asthma is more likely. So better to consult pulmonologist and get done clinical examination of respiratory system and PFT (Pulmonary Function Test).PFT will not only diagnose asthma, but it will also tell you about severity of the disease and treatment is based on severity only. She will mostly improve with inhaled bronchodilators (formoterol or albuterol) and inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) (budesonide or fluticasone). Oral combination of antihistamine (levocetrizine or fexofenadine) and anti-allergic (montelukast) once a day at night is also beneficial.Don't worry, she will be alright. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your daughter. Thanks. |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | Good Evening Sir, Kindly help me out with this problem. We are planning for pregnancy since last one year. Our Gynecology had suggested Male Infertility Related tests, in which The Scrotol Color Doppler Test is showing complications. The result shows Bilateral Mild to Moderate Varicocele Note. Doctors are suggesting for Operations. But we don t want to go with Operation as there are no 100 % results and chance of conceiving are also not good enough. I would need your help in this regards. If their is a Medicine which could help in increasing sperm count then i would be thankful to you. Me & My Husband are of same age 32 Years. My all reports and test show normal. Kindly help me in this regards, Need your guidance. Thanks for your time | HalloThanks for your query. Your husband has BIL mild to moderate HY Chat Doctor. You have not mentioned anything as regards sperm analysis for e.g. sperm count, sperm motility etc. If sperm count is less than normal you have to take some measures like doing some moderate exercise daily, avoid alcohol, smoking , and take anti oxidants medication and Tab Ferry once daily for three months Repeat your semen analysis after three months. Though surgery for correcting varicocele does not guaranty 100% positive results you have to undergo it as there are 50% chances of improving the sperm count after the surgery which is minor in nature. |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | hi, im a 24 years old female(student) and i have been coughing for 3 years or so years now. it first i was told i had bronchitis and then l was later told that i might have asthma. i was given advair , albuterol , prednisone , singulair, claritin and antibiotic( when it first started). but i dont think its really helping. i often cough when i have from one place to another. i guess its the change of smell of the environment. i cough and have tinkly feel in my head when i go to place where there are too many different smell going on. do you think i have smelling allergies? also my bones (the joints) often make a pop/ click noise when i move around especially my pelvic bone. i asked my doctor and she said it might be gas but i think their might be something wrong. because when i run, i feel pain in my leg bone. im not sure if in lacking calcium because i dont really eat food that contain calcium. for the reason i just started taking some multi vit and calcium supplement. what do you think? | Hi, the medication you used are ok for asthma management, you must consult an allergist in order to get some allergy tests. This helps to verify the cause of coughing and after that you can take some measures to avoid the allergens. The doctor will tell you what to do: to increase dosage of medications or immunotherapy if it is necessary. As for the bones you must continue to take calcium supplements because your diet is poor with calcium. |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | About a month ago I was put on nortriptaline for depression . I am taking 150 ml. I was in the hospital during the time and had my blood pressure and pulse rate checked about three times a day. After a few days both I and the nurses noticed an increase in my heart rate . I asked them to tell my doctor (pysciatrist) and found out they never did. About two weeks ago at my appointment I brought it up... She did a manual test and said it was under 80 bpm. Three hours later I checked it on a blood pressure machine at the pharmacy and it was 134... Checked it again a few days ago and it was 128 and I ve done it manually many times and also have come up with these results. Now I m having mild chest pains and need to know if I should be concerned. I don t want to worry anyone unless absolutely necessary. | Dear Good to talk to increased heart rate and hypertension is very normal phenomena for depressed people. Also becoming obsessive to BP apparatus is also normal. Most probably you are obsessed with your measurement of BP. That is the reason why you are not diagnosed with high heart rate when physician and nurses measure it. Anyway make sure that you don't suffer from any other physical problems. Consult your General Practitioner and rule out cardiac dysfunction and thyroid problems. Then as per his advice consult a psychologist/psychiatrist. Wish speedy recovery |

Added to this, a few weeks back he fell on the back of his head. I am kind of worried...Can anybody suggest what is going on..Appreciate your feedback. Thanks. | Hi Dear, Welcome to Chat Doctor. Understanding your concern. As per your query your son have symptoms of headache and toothache which is due to radiating pain from an infected tooth that can cause pain in side of head due to bacteremia and septicemia. It could be due to injury to head leading to residual headaches. Need not worry. I would suggest you to consult a dentist and get evaluated and get X-ray of concerned tooth done and start treatment either root canal treatment or extraction depending upon condition of tooth. If this is not the cause get your blood pressure monitored and start treatment accordingly. Maintain oral hygiene by brushing and flossing. Dentist may refer you to neurologist if it is related to head injury. Hope your concern has been resolved. Get Well Soon. Best Wishes, |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | hi have been twice to my local Dr. I have been ill since February with viral illness also he called it a viral lung infection. Now I am experiencing sporadic low grade fever that is accompanied by upper to middle aches and soreness in my back. Whenever I experience the back symptoms a fever follows. I am experiencing the sweats, and also am extremely tired and sleep at least 10-11 hours a day. Is there any recommendation you can give me to get rid of this once and for all. Dr. did prescribe z-pac not much of a help, but did somewhat elevate symptoms. Thank you for any advice. Debra | Hello dear, thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your situation and problem. In my opinion, we should first rule of bronchitis In your case because recurrent viral infection can cause post infectious bronchitis. So better to consult pulmonologist and get done1. Clinical examination of respiratory system. 2. PUT (pulmonary function test).PFT will also tell you about severity of the disease. And treatment of bronchitis is based on severity only. You may need inhaled bronchodilators and antihistamine Chat Doctor. Also get done adult respiratory vaccination with influenza vaccine to prevent recurrent viral infection. |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | I have recently had a nasty moler extracted (3 days ago) and was prescribed a cheaper version of augmentin (apotex). I have only just taken it and am experiencing slight numbness around the extraction site including some of my tongue, roof of mouth and top teeth. (all on the right side). I have heard that severe numbness can be bad but i cant find anywhere that tells me this in detail. please helpOk nevermind. i didnt realise i had to pay. Please have a disclaimer BEFORE you offer a service. This is very misleading. | Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query. The numbness following extraction can be because of the nerve injury either while giving injection or while removing the tooth. Nothing to be panic, consult an oral physician and get it evaluated. Meanwhile you can take a nerve regenerating Chat Doctor. Be careful about the areas which are numb particularly when you consume hot food. This might take days to weeks to recover. I hope my answer will help you, take care. |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | 3mm of retrolisthesis of L4 back on L5. Marginal osteophytes at multiple levels and the largest is seen anterior to space at l4-l5. Degenerative changes posterior elements L4-l5 and L5-s1. Mild sclerosis about the left mid s1. Marginal osteophytes at every level of the LS spine. Focal sclerosis left mid S1. Hips: superior acetabular osteophyte. Small sclerotic focus, right intertrochanteric region. Mild degenerative changes at the hips. note: calcium depost caused stress fracture in 1990. Will this just get worse or should I start thinking of partial disability. PT. 55yo male works construction. Injuries were between 1980-82 while in military. Unemployed at this time. Pain in hips moderate to extreme x20+ years now. Back off and on since 1982. | Hi welcome to Chat Doctor, what you have is lumbar spondylitis. Osteophytes are small bony growths in the spine that develop as part of spondylitis. Retrolisthesis is the spinal matter prolapsing backwards, sclerosis means hardening of the spinal soft tissues. Generally all this points to degenerative changes probably set off by the fracture you sustained. Yes construction work can worsen the problem. And you can consider partial disability. Regards |
