Hello doctor, I have multiple small cysts in both ovaries (PCOS). Our family friend suggested me to consume Kalarchikai medicine, powdered mixed with pepper and honey to have it for one mandalam (48 days). I have completed nearly 44 days by consuming one small ball of the mixture every morning and before two weeks I got my periods. Then I had checked whether the cysts were dissolved by having an abdomen scan. But still, small multiple follicules have been seen in it with both ovaries enlarged. Kindly suggest me what I can do further. I got married before one and a half years and I am much worried about my pregnancy. I have gallstones as well. | Hello. I just read your query. See Kalarachi Kai choornam is helpful in amenorrhea. As far as small cysts are concerned they are unmatured eggs which failed to induce menstrual cycle previously, as a result, they got collected in the ovary and they will remain in the ovary. Now, you have got your periods you can start trying for conception. But I advise you to do it under the supervision of a nearby gynecologist because egg size is important while conception and that you can know by ovulation study.

Hello doctor, I am a 26-year-old male. I have black/brown patches on my back below the neck. The whole of my upper back portion has turned black/brown. It has been around 10 years this discoloration started but is now constant (not spreading) for the past 4-5 years. | Hi. It is pigmented hairy epidermal nevus (Becker nevus or Beckers melanosis). The first appearance of this nevus is in adolescence. It presents as an irregular, hyperpigmented patch. Once present these nevi stabilize after several months or years. Becker nevus is a benign condition and malignant transformation is rare. No treatment is required, although lasers have been used for cosmetic benefits. Its cause is familial and occurs due to mutation. Genetic counseling should be tried. | 905 | Q. I have brown patches at the back of the neck with no harm for the past few years. Please help. |
Hello doctor, I am 40 years old. My sexual life was good but due to hysterotomy performed on my wife due to fetus complication, I am not able to have sex with her till date. In the event of this, I have been masturbating three to four times a week to relieve my urge for sexual excitement. However, lately, I have noticed that while masturbating my erections are not that rock hard like a couple of months back and even the force by which I used to ejaculate has drastically reduced and my sperm does not come out in force but just dribbles out of my penis on orgasm. I have no sort of medical problem or diseases and lead a normal diet without any medicines. My wife's gynecologist had once prescribed CoQ LC and Fertisure M medicines for me. However, I need your advice as to which medicines I should take and the dosage to overcome my problem and even get ready to make my wife conceive naturally. | Hi, Welcome to iclinq.com. I can understand your concern. As such nothing much to worry about. Erections may not be the same every time, these would settle down as you enter your sexual life again. Generally the following hysterotomy, sex life can be started after six months but here the main thing is the psychological part, the women is going through. Spend value time with your wife which would help her get back to her old sex life. If you are worried about your fertility profile get a semen analysis done and look for the concentration and motility of sperms. And also get a random blood sugar done. The very fact that your wife has conceived spontaneously rules out both male and female factors of infertility, so just relax. The possibility of erectile dysfunction with your complaints is less considering past history. Have a trying time for 5 to 6 months. If pregnancy is delayed then consult a fertility specialist. I hope this helps. Psychological. Semen analysis, RBS (random blood sugar). Psychological. Reassurance. Increase the value time for each other. | 906 | Q. I masturbate regularly and found my erections less hard nowadays. What to do? |

Hello! I am currently in my withdrawal bleeding week (placebo pill days, I am on birth control). Yesterday, I noticed two abnormal clots on my pad. I have experienced blood clots, but these were different. A little difficult to explain (I have a picture), but they were large and white, with visible blood vessels on the surface and a blood "string" at the end. Again, a little hard to explain in words. Because of my current circumstances, I have not taken birth control the "normal" way in the last two months. Early last month, I did not have more birth control at the end of my placebo week, and was only able to start a new cycle of it the following week. I did not know I should only start the pill at the beginning of my cycle. Once I found out, I skipped the placebo week the following month in order to reset the "ovulation"/placebo timings. I am sexually active and, knowing I had not used the pill correctly, I mostly used condoms as backup. I was wondering if these clots could be a result of messing up the pill or if they are something I should worry about. Thank you for your help! | Hello, Welcome to Icliniq. Based on your description, I understand that you skin using the pills in early last month, in the beginning of your menstrual cycles and later took it continuously to avoid the placebo pills. See, first thing you have to understand is that , if you didn't start the birth control in the first week of your menstrual cycles it's not effective as a birth control at all as the follicular development already sets in which contains the Ovum (egg). So there is a high chance of pregnancy in such cases even if you start it in the following week. The clots that you described could be possibly products of Conception ( only a possibility) if you had gotten pregnant and had a spontaneous miscarriage. So to confirm if this is the situation or not, please check your home pregancy test. If that is positive then this confirms the likely possibility of a pregnancy. Also if you could share a picture of the clot that you have I can have a look to check the other possibilities of your problem. Please feel free to revert back to me anytime with any further queries or doubts. Also please check your home pregancy test once and get back to me with the result. Have a nice day. - Home pregnancy test - Ultrasound Abdomen and Pelvis. | 909 | Q. Yesterday, I noticed two abnormal clots on my pad. Are they something I should worry about? |
Hello doctor, I am having postnasal drip for the past one month and had tablet Azee and Montair LC and took steam inhalation, but I think it got aggravated and the drip got thick because of it. I then consulted an ENT and he gave Nasomac AF spray, tablet Alaspan AM and Raciper 40. No improvement since seven days and then he gave Acetylcysteine 600 mg. The mucus comes out by coughing and I have to constantly clear my throat. I looked at the back of the throat and I could see white mucus dripping. I am 34 years old. | Hello. I understand that you are having constant post nasal drip. Is there any other symptom that is bothering you? Is there any lump sensation in the throat? Any nose block or runny nasal discharge? Any facial fullness? Did you ever have this problem before this month? The treatment given by your ENT appears to be correct and complete considering the symptoms you have told me. But are you using the spray in the right way? Antihistaminic, mucolyte and spray together should decrease the postnasal drip unless there is some pathology inside the sinuses that is producing constant mucus. Please tell us more details of your problem. Continue the same medicines for now. Take a picture of the back of the throat with open mouth showing the details of the mucus drip and send it to us. Please let us know if you are using the spray in the right way. If you are doing everything properly and this is the only symptom you are facing, then probably we need to check the insides of the nose using nasal endoscopy and a CT scan of sinuses. Next, is there any allergy that you suffer from? Do you smoke? Is your workplace ridden with dust smoke or pollution? | 910 | Q. On taking medications, my postnasal drip has become thick. Why? |

Hello doctor, I am having severe allergic symptoms to almost every single food I eat and not really sure what to do. For the last year, I have been developing what seems like IgE type allergic reactions to literally every single food I eat. It is getting really bad. These potatoes I have been eating for the past month now cause swelling in the back of my mouth and throat that makes me choke so I had to stop eating them. Other foods cause different types of reactions like frank diarrhea. Please help. IgE, IgG and IgA antibodies normal, IgE skin prick testing normal, C1 inhibitor slightly low, cortisol low (ACTH stim test not performed), fasting hypoglycemia (testing for insulinoma negative so far), and I have mild heart dysfunction (diastolic). | Hello. I have gone through your query and can understand your concern. As you rightly said there might be an allergy for a particular type of food you eat. You may have allergy probably to one particular type of food. You need to observe keenly over getting symptoms after eating a particular type of food. You have been eating potatoes for a month and then getting symptoms is little unlikely. If at all it is because of potatoes you should get it immediately after eating and not after eating for a month. Most of the people will have an allergy to milk and milk products or lactulose intolerance. Most common food products that cause allergy are milk and milk products, eggs, fish, nuts like almonds, cashews, peanuts, walnuts, soy, or wheat (as seen in patients with celiac disease or non-celiac gluten sensitivity). Have you been evaluated for other gastric disorders by a gastroenterologist? It would be better if I could see all your reports and treatment given so far by your doctor. You need to observe keenly about the food type that is causing the allergy. Avoiding the food that is responsible is the best way to avoid allergic reactions. Make sure you have always with you all emergency medications needed to be taken in an emergency. As anaphylaxis and other allergic reactions can be dangerous at times. Kindly get back with the above details, your further queries and reports if available for further discussion and management. | 912 | Q. I am allergic to almost all foods with swelling in the back of the mouth and throat. Please help. |
Hello doctor, This morning I woke up and passed stools and had mild abdominal pain in the center of my belly. I went about my day and the pain is getting more intense. I defecated again and it still hurts. The pain feels like the worst gas of my life but I am not farting. I cannot afford to go to the hospital especially if it just ends up going away. Is there anything I can do to fix this? | Hello. Well, the onset of pain with a feeling of bloating, and change in intensity after passing stools suggest it is related to gas. You probably had something last night, or a few days back, which has caused you to this gastrointestinal upset. Well, this does not seem alarming in any way. I suggest you to take Simethicone suspension /or capsule (whatever available OTC pharmacy) 60 to 125 milligrams (mg) four times a day, after meals and at bedtime for two to three days. This medication will break the gas bubbles and will help you pass the gases easily. It has side effects of excessive burping/belching, and farting. But use temporarily until the time you feel better. If symptoms do not improve in the next 48 hours, and if the pain increase in intensity or you started feeling vomiting and complete loss of flatus, I suggest you to contact me immediately or get yourself checked to the nearby clinic. Gas and bloating. Simethicone 60 to 125 milligrams (mg) four times a day, after meals and at bedtime. Follow up if no improvement in pain, or unable to pass flatus. | 913 | Q. After passing stools, I get mild to intense abdominal pain with no fart. How to fix this? |
Hi doctor, I had my hips adjusted about a year ago and the trainer who did it yanked my right leg to align my hips. It felt good at that time but the next day I had nerve pain down my left leg and into my lower back on the right side. Every time I stretch my left hamstring or sit in an L shape I get a really sharp pain in my right lumbar spin area. It has not gotten any better and I have tried nerve flossing but that was making it worse. Any help would be greatly appreciated. | Hello. In my opinion, you might have your sacroiliac (SI) joint strained and the same is causing you pain in the back and the leg. You just need a good mobilization of the SI joint and lower spine. Along with some soft tissue work to relieve the pain and spasm. Nothing to worry. Once you start realigning the joint you will gradually feel better. You need to start strengthening your lower back and glute stability with hip control exercises. As of now, keep a lot of icing in the painful area frequently like once in two hours for 10 to 15 minutes. Gentle stretching of gluteus and hip flexor, gentle massage over gluteus muscles, and hip mobility program will help you to relax with lower leg symptoms. I hope this helps. | 914 | Q. After getting my hip adjusted, I get nerve pain in left leg and lower back. Why? |

Hello doctor, I am 29-year-old, married male. I have a baby who feeds on breast milk. I had a sexual encounter before 8 months with a professional with a condom. I am 95% sure that my protection was intact. Then I started reading about the HIV symptoms and technicalities of testing online. Five days later, I went to a Dermatology and Venereology specialist and described about the incident. He was confident enough that he advised me not to go for any testing. Although my fear of infection remained. Around two months post-exposure, I felt tenderness here and there like on the back of my head, arms, one lymph node in my underarm was swollen and I developed cold and cough. I started sweating during that time as well. I looked a bit thinner. I got panicked and went to the doctor again. He checked me and was still confident that I am not infected. But for my mental satisfaction, he prescribed me thorough testing which includes HIV1/2, VDRL, HBsAg, HCV along with urine R/E, M/E, C/S analysis. On 74 th day post-exposure I took all those tests and they all came back negative. After lapse of a few days again I felt some skin irritation on theback and burning sensation on my forearms. Although no skin changes can be seen. Again I got panicked thinking that I may be in the window period for HIV. But the doctor remained confident and he adivised me not to go for any repeat testing. But my sense of fear, anxiety, panic, guilt, and impurity continues. On 110th day post-exposure again I repeated the tests but I excluded the urine analysis this time. All the tests came negative again. The HIV tests were fourth-generation combo test both the time. I am on the eighth month post exposure. Still, I feel tenderness hear and there. Recently, I am developing small red blood vessel like dots just underneath my skin on my hand and feet which is staying for 5-7days and going away leaving faint black spots. I again showed it to the same doctor. He is confident and repeatedly asked me to stop worrying. He also gave me anti-anxiety, anti-OCD, anti-depressant drugs. I am also taking sessions with a psychologist. But still, my mind is not free from the fear of HIV and also fear that my wife and child might get infected by me. My questions are, do I need to repeat any test to out rule the probability of HIV? Are there any probability of error from lab test given the fact that I took the tests twice? Do I need to worry about the window period as there is conflicting information available on the internet? Do I need to worry about the phenomenon of delayed seroconversion? Do I need to opt for the tests from a different lab? Do I need to worry about HIV 1/2anymore? How to unroot the fear from deep inside my mind? Any other opinion on my history? | Hi. The chances of transmission of HIV by the given description is almost nil. HIV tests are repeatedly negative and after three months of exposure it is conclusive. You are free from HIV. There is no need for you to worry about seroconversion. You can forget about the episode and lead a normal life. There is no need for any further HIV tests in any lab. Just relax. Do some yoga, exercises, meditation, etc. | 920 | Q. I had negative HIV tests with a swollen lymphnode in my underarm. Am I in window period? |

He's my dad, becoming weak day by day. We consulted doctor who told the urine is containing blood also although its not visible looking at urine. His leg was also swelling, on medication it became fine. He also added, it may be liver failure but he didn't confirm.

The history you provided provides a little clue to what excatly he is sufferring with. Non visible blood in urine is called microscopic hematuria. Some liver condition can cause this problem such as Hepatitis C viral infection , hepatitis B viral infection, recent drug use, or advanced liver disease secondary to any cause. with advanced liver disease platelets (white cells in blood which control bleeding) are decreased that why patient is prone to develop bleeding from any site- may be in urine, skin or sometime internally within abdomen. The swelling you mentioned possibly be secondary to fluid collection over legs and which resolves with medications called diuretics which increase urine formation. If these all findings combined It is possible that your father is suffereing from liver cirrhosis also called scarring of liver. Dear, the liver cirrhosis requires a long term management with initially medical and supportive treatment followed by liver transplant which is the definite therapy.

Hello doctor, I am a 27-year-old female. I have pain on the right side of the head, neck, and shoulder. Please suggest. | Hi. I can understand your concern. According to your statement, you have been suffering from right-sided head, neck, and shoulder pain. Most head, neck, and shoulder pain is resulted from sprains and strains by incorrect posture or mechanical injury due to daily works. It may result from soft tissue injury (including muscle, tendons, ligaments, etc). Again nerve injury of these area can produce head, neck, and shoulder pain. Displacement of cervical disc can produce same type of symptoms known as herniated or prolapsed disc. Rotator cuff tendons hold your arm with shoulder and rotator cuff tear which is caused by sports or overuse can produce head, neck, and shoulder pain. Inflammation of tendons (tendonitis) or bursa (bursitis) of these areas also can produce the same type of clinical symptoms. Again heart attack, angina, stroke, cervical artery dissection, etc., can present the same type of clinical symptoms. Treatment depends on causes. So you should undergo some investigations like an x-ray of cervical spine, CT scan or MRI of cervical spine, RBS (random blood sugar), CBC (complete blood sugar), USG (ultrasound) of the hepatobiliary system with blood pressure monitoring, etc., to find out the underlying the causes which are responsible for your suffering and then treat them accordingly. For your head, neck, and shoulder pain you can take Naproxen plus and Esomeprazole combination (twice daily) with Baclofen (twice daily) with calcium plus vitamin D combination (once daily). Please inform me of the results after undergoing the investigations and then I will be able to help you further. | 923 | Q. I have right-sided head, neck, and shoulder pain.

My digestion is always a concern for me but since last month i am having bloting , stomach cramps , stool discharge 3-4 times a day. medicine taken rifagut, actigut for 5 days , meftal spas continuous , pentaprazole - 20 days till nw . at present bloting reduced but stomach cramps , stool discharge 3-4 times a day still persisit . USG abdomain found " minimal edamatus wall ( avg 3mm) noted in sigmoid colon. " rest is ok. as per stool test macrophagus present - a few . Kindly advise | Hello. I welcome you to icliniq. I can understand you must be very upset about your problem. Well the symptoms you mention seem to be occurring due to irritable bowels. The irritable syndrome is a gastrointestinal entity where patient has abdominal pain which change with physiologic activities such as defecation, belching. This abdominal pain can accompany diarrhea, which is called as Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) diarrhea (D) predominant (IBS-C) to be precise. The blood test, urine test, and Ultrasound abdomen that you shared are very much within normal limits. So don't be worry at moment. You said stool test contain macrophages, but I can't see any stool detail report among files you uploaded. Well macrophages or leuckocytes can be present in stool harmlessly and does not suggest any diagnosis by its own. I would recommend you to get some more stool test that can determine it clearly. So the IBS usually affects small and large bowel; and it is not uncommon to have concomitant stomach irritation which is called functional dyspepsia. So part of your symptoms such as stomach cramps, bloating are secondary to stomach irritation. You are on lots of medications, many with similar drug class, that does not seem a wise to continue for now.

Hi doctor, I get cold sores about every 2 years over the past 15 years and they go through the five stages of healing which take about 10-14 days to heal. Over the past two years, I have got two cold sores that have not completely healed. One was before a year and the most recent one was in February of this year. They are faint but apparent to me and every time I move my lips, eat, have hot food, shower, sweat, or just about do anything I can feel them on my upper lip. I have been to multiple doctors and two dermatologists. I have been prescribed Valtrex, Tacrolimus, and medicines for the pain. I have used many over the counter medicines such as Neosporin, Abreva, Hydrocortisone, Vitamin E oil, face cleansers, tea tree oil, Aquaphor and kept it moisturized and clean throughout. Nothing has worked or even made a slight difference. I get the constant tingling and it is not super painful but I can feel it there as if it has not healed or subdued. My current dermatologist has suggested a biopsy but I am not sure if that is the next step. If it is not a cold sore or cannot be healed with what I have been prescribed I nor my dermatologist have any idea what it could be. How I can be rid of it? Please help. | Hi. As per your information and photographs (attachment removed to protect patient identity), I can see there is swelling and some small pus-filled rash and small scars. If it is recurrent then there are some possibilities like herpes labialis, cyclic neutropenia, neutrophilic dermatoses (localized), granulomatous cheilitis. Yes, punch skin biopsy will give a more close clue for diagnosis. Along with it, you need to do Tzanck smear from lip area, CBC (complete blood count), absolute neutrophil count, and ANCA (anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody). Do you have diabetes or high blood pressure or on any medicines for the same? Or any other complaint? From your detailed information, recurrent herpes labialis or neutrophil (WBC) related skin disorder are more possible. Tingling, and pain indicate nerve fiber involvement which is more possible in herpes virus infection. For time being you can start tablet Pregaba M (Pregabalin plus Methylcobalamine) 75 mg one tablet in the morning and night after food for 15 days, tablet Prednisolone 10 mg in the morning after food for 10 days, Flutibact cream apply at morning and night for seven days, Vitamin C 500 mg one tablet at night (dissolved in water) for 15 days, and tablet Famcivir 250 mg TDS after food for seven days. Review after investigation reports. | 925 | Q. I get recurrent cold sores which are not healing completely. Why? |

Hello doctor, Anxiety disorder, bloated stomach, and constipation are troubling me. I am a coronary artery disease patient, with diabetes. Thinking about these issues cause me more anxious. Please help. I am currently on Mirtaz 7.5 and Daxid 50 mg. I have also done sugar, lipid profile, 2D echo, ECG, and TMT. | Hello. I read your query and understand your concerns. First of all, I like to inform you that anxiety disorder is a treatable disorder during current times as a lot of medications are available in this regard. As I can see you are taking two medications for the same but unfortunately dose of both medications is at lower limits. I also feel instead of two medications it will be ideal to have one medication with proper dosage. For example dose of Daxid (Sertraline) is 50-200 mg per day and the dose of Mirtazapine is 15-60 mg for most individuals. In my opinion, you need to discuss the optimization of dose with your treating psychiatrist. As I can see there are issues with stomach bloating and constipation. Mirtazapine needs to be avoided as far as possible. This is because abdominal side effects along with constipation are very common especially among the elderly. There is also a possibility that your medications for CAD or diabetes contributing to the current problem. For that purpose I feel you need to discuss same with your cardiologist. In addition to medications, there is a need for stress management. I can see that you have excessive concern about the ongoing medical illness. First of all, we need to acknowledge that these two conditions are treatable and with appropriate care you can have near optimal life.To smoothen the stress management, I am writing down a few of the strategies that will help you. 1. Diet: Ensure intake of adequate quantity of fiber. Two servings of vegetable salad and two servings of fruits (one preferable citrus fruit). Avoid junk food and fast food especially pizza, burgers, and excessive sweets. 2. Ensure adequate water intake. Recommended intake of water is two to three liters a day. Insufficient intake of water could be a contributing factor in the causation of symptoms. 3. Early morning exercise and brisk walking for 30 minutes at a stretch preferably in the garden will be very helpful. 4. Avoid tea, coffee, nicotine, and alcoholic beverages. If at all you want to drink something, drink fresh lime water. It is very much refreshing. 5. Start your day with a glass of lemon water with two spoons of honey added. Have a good breakfast. 6. Do not take work so seriously. We all have the feeling to excel in our respective fields and do not spend adequate time with our own self trying to understand our own needs. Spend time with your family and friends. 7. While working take frequent regular breaks. I will advise you to take a break of 5-10 minutes after every 50-55 minutes. Close your eyes and rotate the eyeballs for a couple of minutes. 8. Avoid starring for a longer time at the computer screen or TV. 9. Steam inhalation before going to sleep will be very refreshing. It will also benefit. 10. Take multivitamin and calcium supplement. I hope this helps. | 927 | Q. I am a CAD patient with stomach bloating and constipation. Please help. |

Do you have fever or any associated complaints such as headache? Have you been taking any antibiotic? Which over the counter medicines have you been taking? You probably had common cold and now you have secondary bacterial infection with low respiratory tract involvement. You could be having allergic rhinitis, mild asthma and bronchitis. There could be some risk factors which need to be investigated. So you need to be examined physically with some blood test carried out. On confirmation of diagnosis you probably need a course of antibiotics.

Hello doctor, I have multiple small cysts in both ovaries (PCOS). Our family friend suggested me to consume Kalarchikai medicine, powdered mixed with pepper and honey to have it for one mandalam (48 days). I have completed nearly 44 days by consuming one small ball of the mixture every morning and before two weeks I got my periods. Then I had checked whether the cysts were dissolved by having an abdomen scan. But still, small multiple follicules have been seen in it with both ovaries enlarged. Kindly suggest me what I can do further. I got married before one and a half years and I am much worried about my pregnancy. I have gallstones as well. | Hello. I just read your query. See Kalarachi Kai choornam is helpful in amenorrhea. As far as small cysts are concerned they are unmatured eggs which failed to induce menstrual cycle previously, as a result, they got collected in the ovary and they will remain in the ovary. Now, you have got your periods you can start trying for conception. But I advise you to do it under the supervision of a nearby gynecologist because egg size is important while conception and that you can know by ovulation study. Ovulation study is performed under the supervision of a gynecologist. For gall stones, surgical intervention is required generally. Medicine is not of much help. | 933 | Q. Will Kalarchikai cure multiple ovarian cysts in PCOD? |
Hi doctor, During masturbation I just rub the tip of the penis and not the entire penis. Is it a wrong way of doing? I do not get excited during sex and unable to ejaculate.

Consistent lower back and neck pains. yes, I've been diagnosed with having a cervical disc herniation since 20 years and a lumbar disc herniation since 12 years. An L2 Nerve block procedure was performed in 11 years back. The last MRI I did was 3 years back. | Hello Yes the MRI does talk about the disc bulges both in the neck and the back but it is now clear as to the degree of nerve root compromise as canal encroachment as this will determine the degree of symptoms and likelyhood of conservative management succeeding. I really need to see the MRI films to comment The obvious thing is that the MRI was done 3 years back, so the relevance is doubtful if you are having new symptoms and with passage of time the MRI picture may change. I will recommend that you two a course of Duloxetene 30 mg twice daily and added pregabalin 75 mg twice daily to see the response and do take them for atleast 6 weeks, mind you pregabalin makes you sleepy but that will fade with time | 935 | Q. Please help me get rid of constant lower back and neck pain. |

Hi doctor, I am currently having a sore throat. As I checked, it is a bit red and saw a white dot. Please help. | Hello. Thank you for attaching a photo because that really helps. (attachment removed to protect patient identity). Your throat does appear red but your tonsils do not appear swollen so it is unlikely to be tonsillitis. Most of the time this is just due to a viral infection that will get better on its own without medication. Healing usually takes about five to seven days. As long as you are able to eat, drink, and remain without fever, just allow your body to heal naturally. If the sore throat is only getting worse to a point you are unable to swallow anymore due to pain, and you are having a fever of temperature 37.9 and above, you might need to see a doctor in person to have it examined and prescribe you antibiotics. Viral. Supportive management only. Drink lots of water. Take Paracetamol every 4 hours as needed for pain, Difflam lozenges every six hours, Bactidol gargle three times a day after meals. Regular handwashing. If the throat pain is getting progressively worse until a point that you cannot swallow any food due to pain, or if having fever, you will need antibiotics. Feel free to follow up with me in 3-5 days time regarding your progress. | 938 | Q. I am having a sore throat with redness and white spot. Please help. |
Hello doctor, I have migraines daily for the past two months. It gets controlled with painkillers and worsens with movement. Other than that no other symptoms (like dizziness or vomiting) are present. The pain is usually moderate to severe, sometimes one-sided and sometimes full head pain. I am taking Paracetamol or Ibuprofen for pain. Please help. | Hello. I understand your concern and would explain that considering your aggravated situation, it would be reasonable to start preventive therapy for migraine. In this regard, I would recommend starting Topiramate 50 mg twice daily (it is recommended starting 25 mg daily and increase each week by 25 mg, up to 50 mg twice daily). This will help reduce the frequency and severity of migraine headaches. If you do not tolerate this drug or it does not help reduce the frequency of headaches within the first month, I would recommend considering other treatment options like Verapamil or Amitriptyline. You should discuss with your doctor on the above treatment options. There is no need to perform any tests, as this is a chronic headache, and painkillers still help. I hope this helps. | 939 | Q. I get migraine daily but it gets controlled with painkiller. How to manage the same? |
Hello doctor, My knee is locked in hyperextension. I had an injury on my knee had lateral damage that was fixed by knee scope. This was successful, however, about two months ago, I twisted the wrong way and my knee got caught in hyperextension. I saw my Orthopedic surgeon and he told me I had a high rise patella and Chondromalacia. We did Synvisc and cortisone and physiotherapy. But my knee is still caught in hyperextension and cannot fix it. I am only 32 years old so I need my mobility but now I am in pain and can barely move any thoughts? Right now I am on Naproxen, and Tylenol. | Hello. From what I can read and understand by the brief history you have given is that there can be damage to ligaments and meniscus in your knee. Can you please elaborate on the range of motion of your knee? If it is barely movable it means that probably some tissue (either meniscus or soft tissue) is stuck causing block to the range of motion. Also are you having hyperlaxity? Generally people who have hypermobile joints tend to go for hyperextension. Also, kindly update the details of your surgery. Was there ACL reconstruction as well? As you pointed high rising patella, patella alta is more responsible for patellar dislocation/subluxation rather than knee hyperextension. Do attach a copy of the MRI you have. | 940 | Q. Due to wrong twist, my knee got locked in hyperextension. Please help. |
Hello doctor, I am having heaviness in my head since yesterday afternoon, especially when I bend and lift my head up. Also, I am experiencing the same heaviness while coughing too.

I am taking medication for thyroid (Eltroxin 75 mg). Also, I use glasses for short sight and presently the lens has got scratches with vision not 100% clear.

Site of pain, front, back, whole, or half side of your head or vague? Episodic or stays the entire day? Any facial pain? Apply pressure on the face, on either side of your nose, on your temple, and see whether those areas are tender.

Hello doctor, I am a 60-year-old female having a complaint of minor nose bleeding and headache for the last five days. I have undergone valve replacement therapy a few years ago, and tablet Acitrom 2 OD going on. My recent PT value - 17.40, INR - 1.52. As we do not have access to our doctor, what step we have to take ahead to manage the problem? | Hello. Sorry to hear about your experience. Did you have a history of nose bleed long before the surgery? Or did the bleeding start after you started taking Ecosprin? Have you noticed bruising in any part of your body alongside the nasal bleed? Conditions like nasal polyps, hemophilia, Ecosprin medication she is currently using can cause it. If it started after the commencement of the Escoprin, I advise you to call the doctor that prescribed the Escoprin. There is a need to adjust its dosage or replace it. In the meantime try to apply an ice pack on your nose with your face in an upward direction and buy nasal spray Oxymetazoline it will help with your situation. If your symptoms persist, please go to the emergency so as to physically examine your nose. | 943 | Q. I have minor nose bleeding with a history of valve replacement therapy. Please help. |
Hello doctor, I am a 20-year-old female. I have had bad stomach issues since February. It started with yellow stool, and diarrhea when eating fatty foods. I have pain on and around my right rib cage and in the same spot in my back near my shoulder blade. I have done an HIDA scan and my EF was 68%. CT, ultrasound and blood work was normal. My doctor wants to remove my gallbladder anyway because he says I seem to be symptomatic without test evidence. Have you ever heard of this before? Is this possible? | Hello. I will definitely help you. As per your history and investigation report your diagnosis maybe some kind of hepatitis in which there is a yellow color of stool and urine without any evidence of any abnormalities in USG and CT scan. If USG (ultrasound) is normal and there is no evidence of gallstones then no need to remove gall bladder as it is a very sensitive investigation for gallstones. I will advise you to do hepatitis A, B, C, and hepatitis E marker tests for confirmation of diagnosis. Please attach all investigation reports for better comments about your illness. I need your liver function test also. I am advising treatment for you please start as soon as possible. Avoid fatty and spicy diet. Drink plenty of water. Hepatitis A, B, C and E antigen.

Hi doctor, I just noticed that I had some yellowish discharge from my vagina. I do not have any itching or burning while urinating and there is no odor from the discharge. I was checked for STDs about three or four weeks ago and everything came back negative. I had protected sex with a condom last week, but had unprotected oral sex. How likely is it that this is STD? I am also on Viorele, an oral contraceptive and I know sometimes that this can cause discharge. What could this be? | Hello. Yes, oral sex could transmit STD (sexually transmitted disease) and they are herpes simplex, gonorrhea or even syphilis. Infections less frequently passed on include chlamydia, HIV and hepatitis A. But, I must tell you that the risks of getting an STD from unprotected oral sex are typically much lower than the risks posed by having unprotected vaginal or anal sex. This is because saliva often contains the antibacterial and antiviral agents. I think of a rescreen if it persists for more than a week or changes its behavior as you never know how you could contract STD.

Hi doctor, I am a 22 year old male. My weight is 180 lbs and height is 5'10". I was prescribed a generic brand of Adderall 20 mg about a year ago. It truly has improved my lifestyle. Up until about two months ago everything was fine. I noticed that on the left side of my neck became red randomly. I would describe it as looking more like a heat rash that starts around my collar, goes up only on the left side of my neck. It extends to my left ear and sometimes I get some redness on my left cheek bone. It does not itch or bother me in any way, but it is very noticeable sometimes. I have not been able to find any other factor that could be causing this. I have tried not eating particular foods, changed my laundry detergent, etc. My older brother and I both get a redness in our face when we play sports and this has happened every since I can remember. I do occasionally smoke cigarettes and have tried different brands to see if that may have a factor, but nothing. I have been to my local doctor and they have said that it is probably allergies, but I just do not agree. I am not allergic to anything, but I have not got around to getting an allergy test since the redness appeared. I am very concerned about this and more embarrassed. Thank you for any advice. | Hi.

Hi doctor, I have just started fasting from yesterday morning and last night I was having slight kidney pain. Then I awoke in the middle of the night with some kidney pain and a swollen kidney feeling and urinated with difficulty like having to really push it out. Similarly, last year my kidney got worse when I was fasting. When I was under 1 year of age, I had an operation on my kidney and have a large scar in front of the bladder or abdomen area. It was a blocked urethra, which caused whatever fluid back to the kidney causing damage. They said that my kidney would have to get removed at one stage in my life and 21 was the oldest patient in the past that lasted before removal. I am now 30. My height is 183 cm and weight is 85 kg. I wanted to know if it would be advisable for me to stop fasting and if so would that be for the rest of my life? | Hi. Kidney stone.

Hello doctor, I am a 38 year old male. I was diagnosed with bilateral glue ear. It has persisted for two weeks now and has seen an ENT specialist. I am on my third dose of antibiotics, Moxiclav duo forte 875/125. The condition does not seem to be improving. I am also using painkillers, nasal spray and antihistamine. I am keen to get grommets in my ears just to get some relief as the pressure or fluid buildup is unbearable on occasions. The ENT specialist seems to be against doing this? What would you recommend?

Hi doctor, I am an 18 year old male. I have been experiencing a wide range of symptoms for nearly a year. It all started in the last summer. I started to experience constant vomiting after eating, bloating and weight loss. Then, I was diagnosed with a Dientamoeba fragilis infection and given a course of antibiotics. I thought I would get better after this, but that was not the case. I was treated for the bacteria and I still have symptoms like occasional vomiting, a lot of weight loss (15-20 pounds), bloating and abdominal swelling. The doctor did a bunch of blood tests and said he did not see anything wrong. The vomiting stopped, but I still experience the symptoms and not gaining any weight. So, my doctor referred me to a gastroenterologist. I told him about my symptoms, which are as follows. GERD, weight loss, occasional abdominal pain, abdominal swelling and bloating, malnutrition, alternating diarrhea and constipation, and heart issues like racing heart and heart palpitations. My sister has celiac disease. My gastroenterologist has done an endoscopy and said he does not think that I have celiac and he said Helicobacter pylori might be a possibility. I am really worried because I have got a lot of blood tests and everything came out fine, except Vitamin B12 and D deficiency. So, I just want to know if you think that I could have Helicobacter pylori. I am really anxious. Please explain as soon as possible and share any other possible illnesses that I could have based on my symptoms. Thank you. | Hi.

Hi doctor, I have been diagnosed with bilateral varicocele grade II and III. My urologist recommended microscopic varicocelectomy after reviewing my test results. I am 32 years old and all of my blood test results, including hormones were in the normal range. However, my semen analysis showed that there are approximately 34 million sperms and out of which 60% are of good motility that is approximately 20 million. My semen analysis from 6 years ago was nearly 90 million sperm count with 60% motility. I understand that my current sperm count is at the bottom of the normal range. Me and my wife are not planning to have kids for the next one or two years and have not tried yet. My doctor recommends the surgery because there is going to be some improvement in the sperm count if he performs the procedure. I prefer to avoid the surgery if not necessary. I have a few questions. Is the sperm count going to be significantly different three years from now after performing the procedure? Is there a downside with leaving a permanent suture in my body for the rest of my life? What happens to the permanent sutures if the veins shrink or get absorbed by the body? I am not comfortable with leaving an external object (silk in my case) in my body for the rest of my life, especially if it causes problems in the future and I have to remove it later on. I am a highly active person and play soccer and go to the gym regularly. I am not sure how experienced the doctor should be for this procedure.

Hello doctor, I have multiple small cysts in both ovaries (PCOS). Our family friend suggested me to consume Kalarchikai medicine, powdered mixed with pepper and honey to have it for one mandalam (48 days). I have completed nearly 44 days by consuming one small ball of the mixture every morning and before two weeks I got my periods. Then I had checked whether the cysts were dissolved by having an abdomen scan. But still, small multiple follicules have been seen in it with both ovaries enlarged. Kindly suggest me what I can do further. I got married before one and a half years and I am much worried about my pregnancy. I have gallstones as well. | Hello. I just read your query. See Kalarachi Kai choornam is helpful in amenorrhea.

Hi doctor, I am suffering from anxiety around the health issues, cancer and tend to obsess about things. I have been fixating on my breasts and keep thinking I feel lumps. My doctor suggested to get an ultrasound four weeks ago for my peace of mind and they were perfectly fine. Tonight, I was scratching and then prodded to the left of my nipple on my right breast. If I push firmly down I feel a small knot or pea like thing. There seems to be two and one is more prominent. I can feel something vaguely on the left side of my breast but not near a prominent. Am I right in assuming? As I had an ultrasound only four weeks ago and everything was fine, whatever I am feeling might be some muscle or something. I have to press quite firmly to feel it. If I just do a normal breast exam, then I cannot feel it. Also, if the scan was fine four weeks ago, is it possible for a cancerous lump to grow in that time frame?

Hi doctor, I am suffering from unsteadiness, muscle tension, mild fatigue, anxiety and depression. I have been diagnosed with GAD. My doctor prescribed my Clonazapem 5 mg and Escitalopran 10 mg. Is it fine to take half of each tablet? Will it cause any intolerable side effects? I do not want to take medicines. My doctor said that it is mandatory. She said CBT will not work for me. Please help. | Hi. I think for a 71 Kg young male the chance of side effects with recommended dose is very minimal, but at the same time I do not think this could be the final dose. Your doctor is right in saying take 5 mg of Escitalopram and this is the minimal effective dose for first time anxiety problem. Since you are already taking Xanax (Alprazolam) I assume that you have this problem for a longtime and it is possible that there will be required to increase the dose in the near future. You also mentioned heart arrhythmia. In that situation we need to be very slow. First, start with 5 mg than 7.5 mg or 10 mg as there are problems encountered by those who has a heart problem. I do not mean there is a serious risk, but caution is warranted. In case if you develop side effects, then there is some possibility of headache, gastrointestinal disturbance and giddiness, which are most common. Regarding the suitability of treatment, I do not find any fault with prescribed treatment as Escitaopram a SSRI (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor), is used for definite treatment of GAD (generalized anxiety disorder) while Clonazepam helps in initial management of anxiety till Escitalopram takes over.

Hi doctor, I am 24 years old. I am suffering from a neurological disease and due to this I am getting weak day by day. My toes are gone almost numb since last two years and the same things are now happening with the upper limbs. I had this disease from childhood, but in a progressive state. So, with time my health degraded constantly. It started affecting my lower limbs. Now, I cannot even walk or stand properly. Now, it started affecting my upper limb as well. I cannot lift heavy objects due to weakness in grip and cannot do any manipulation by fingers quickly such as typing, writing, etc. I have been treated in various hospitals since my childhood. Currently, it was predicted as vasculitis neuropathy and getting treatment accordingly. I have gone through various treatments till now, but unfortunately nothing worked. Now, my doctor suggested me an injection called Rituximab, which can possibly stop the growth of this disease. The two dosages of this injection are quite expensive and due to this we are worried that how much safer is this injection to me. Hence, I thought that I should take an opinion from you before taking this injection. Could you please suggest me your opinion by looking at my attached reports, Is there any possibility to cure this rare disease or at least to stop the growth of this disease?

Hello doctor, I had a problem with lower left abdominal pain for 7 years which is diagnosed in 2017 as an umbilical hernia. I subsequently did the surgery in January 2018 and I was diagnosed with moderate fatty liver during the test prior to the surgery. But I was given Liv 52 to take for three months and Lipitor 20 mg. But when I reported to work I started noticing mild pain in my heels and imbalance which I thought was due to the drugs side effects. Somewhere in March I panicked out of sleep and started sweating with my heart beating very fast. I rushed to the hospital and they did a brain CT and kidney function test which was normal and the gave me some anxiety tablets Lexotamil 1.5 mg. Afterward, I noticed that my heel pain was aggravating with flashes of dizziness and minor headaches which I could manage. I reported to the hospital and was referred to an orthopedic specialist. There I was asked to do and MRI of the brain, neck, and spine with magnesium, phosphate, calcium, and sodium test which were all normal. The doctor then gave me Renerve and Stugeron for the dizziness. But still the issue persisted so I reported back to focus and was asked to see and ENT specialist and EYE specialist. I went to an eye center but they all proved negative. So I was referred to see a neurologist who asked for an MRI of the thoracic and lumbar spines and also test for Folate and Vitamin B12. But again they were all negative and he said my situation might be idiomatic so he did not give anything. But in all these, I realized my energy levels were coming down I easily get tired and occasionally my heart rate will go up with a feeling of uneasiness and confusion all coupled with balancing disorders associated with cluster headaches. I went back to my hospital and was advised to see a cardiologist. He also did his relevant test which all proved negative and he declared me safe. But he advised if I am still not normal I should see his boys at the executive heart center which I did. They have been working on me since and nothing has come up. Although the symptoms still persist. So just last week I was not feeling very well and had to go for a check up when I was told of the micro-pulmonary embolism and was admitted. I currently have serious heel pain without swelling in the legs, dizziness without spinning, chest discomfort, unsteady gait, muscle weakness and extreme fatigue, diminished vision, issues with acid reflux and indigestion, occasional heart palpitations, insomnia, and pressure and discomfort in the chest after standing for about 5 minutes or while walking with extreme dizziness. I currently take Xarelto 15 mg, Motilium once daily, Stugeron 25 mg, Maalox plus suspension 150 ml, Pariet 20 mg, Carvedilol 6.25 mg, and Lexotanil 1.5 mg once daily at night. | Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. I can imagine how difficult time you have doing all these visit to doctors. Well, I have gone through your history, I could not see you have any specific gastrointestinal issues at this moment. Your main concerns are related to the neurological department not a gastroenterology department. I urge you to seek help from a neurology team. Well, some of your concerns like fatty liver, and indigestions are related to my field, hence I would like to give you some suggestion regarding that. So I see you already on some medicine for indigestion such as Maalox syrup and Pariet which is an acid suppressant medication. They are relatively safe and can be taken regularly or intermittently based on symptoms. The second concern from GI prespective are fatty liver. You did not mention your weight so I could not estimate the body mass index which is a direct tool to assess the level of fat one has over the liver and other body tissues. Atorvastatin (Lipitor) can reduce some fat from liver but they are not the preferred treatment for fatty liver disease, they can control lipids however if elevated. Atorvastatin can cause myopathy means muscle damage and can cause severe cramps over legs and throughout the body. I want you to check your creatine phosphokinase (CPK) levels to confirm this if you have recently stopped your Atorvastatin. The preferred therapy for fatty liver disease, if you are not diabetes is Vitamin E 400 mg twice daily for at least three months. The other recommendation is to reduce your weight by 7 to 10% of current body weight in the coming six months. Walk 150 minutes/week and dieting which is all required.

Hello doctor, I have had three nose and septum surgeries and my septum is deviated. My workplace wants me to do the nasal Coronavirus test as I recently came back from overseas. I am already on day 10 of Quarantine but they want to do the test. Is there any risk for me to do this test considering the previous surgeries? Can they force me to do the test? Do they need me to consent to the procedure? Can I request to finish my quarantine instead of testing? Or is there any other test that is less invasive? | Hi. I see that you are concerned about previous surgeries. Nasopharyngeal swab for Coronavirus is a very simple test just like how you use your ear buds. So nèed not worry, it can be done even if you have deviated septum. At this pandemic season, it is recommended by world health officials and your employer can demand you to get tested before joining your work as you have traveled overseas and 14 days quarantine is also recommended by World Health Organization. No other tests is as less invasive and highly yielding than a nasopharyngeal swab test. I hope this helps. | 985 | Q. I had 3 nasal surgeries in the past. Is it safe for me to take nasal Coronavirus test? |
Hello doctor, I am 26 years old. I was diagnosed with proctitis stage of ulcerative colitis in January. Doctor prescribed Mesalamine suppositories and I was healed. It again started in May. Doctor prescribed me three Mesalamine suppositories a day but the bleeding still continues. Any advice on medicine or diet will be highly appreciated. | Hello. I can imagine how upset you are about your disease. Thankfully it is limited to the rectum and not extensive to involve the left side of the colon. I am sure that your previous gastroenterologist had done biopsy of the rest of colon to exclude microscopic activity in other segments of the colon. So if suppository is not working I suggest you to use Mesalamine enema. You can use 2 grams enema once a day preferably in morning after passing the first stool. Not thrice a day. The once a day dose work fine. Actually suppositories may not reach up to the extend of disease, hence in such situation enema which are rather liquid preparation would work fine. Plus you should add Hydrocortisone enema 100 mg once daily at night time. You can use Hydrocortisone enema for two weeks and Mesalamine enema regularly. The picture you uploaded (attachment removed to protect patient identity) suggestive of blood with lots of mucus. I also want to recommend to test stool for C difficle antigen, and blood IHA titers for E.histolytica, if any of those infections are found would require antibiotic therapy in addition to the above therapy. You can follow up with me and update me about five days of use of the above regimen, I hope you would be fine by then. I would tell you the long term management of your disease and when exactly you require a repeat colonoscopy. I hope this helps. Ulcerative proctitis. Stool for fecal calprotectin. Stool for C difficle antigen, and blood IHA titers for E.histolytica. Infection colitis superimposed. Ulcerative proctitis. Follow up within one week to update about the symptoms and discuss the investigation that are suggested. | 986 | Q. I am diagnosed with ulcerative proctitis and suppositories do not work for me. Why? |
Hello doctor, I am 36 years old. I am a vegetarian. Before three years due to stomach disturbance, yellowish urine, pain and some popup and cracker sound in my legs and knee joints. I visited a doctor and he suggest me for liver function test and all reports in normal range except for sugar which was 138 mg/dL at that time, he gave some medicines and referred to an orthopedic for joint pain. I visited an ortho specialist and he took an x-ray of both leg knees and tell that it is an early stage of osteoarthritis of knee and suggest for MRI. I had done an MRI and in the report it is mentioned that the left knee has affected with osteoarthritis. After that he give some medicines for 10 days and refers to a physiotherapist for exercise and weight loss. I have visited as he told and I reduced my weight and now there is very little pain remain in my left knee. But now my other joints, hips joints, both hand knee has popup sound when movement including neck, jaws, all have some very mild cracking and popping sound, as there is no pain, but as it seems to be taken care of in the next few years, so I prefer to consult a specialist like ortho and gastro doctors. Still I did not found any reason behind my current health situation, still, I have yellowish urine. Kindly interpret all the reports. | Hello. Well I have gone through your history. I would like to ask you a few more questions to confirm the probable diagnosis. Do you experience a lot of fatigue? Is the sleep pattern normal or is it disturbed? Any feelings of tiredness in the mornings after sleep also? Any history of recent irritability, forgetfulness? When you say stomach complaints does it mean loose stools or increased frequency of stools or constipation? Any history of weight loss? I have gone through your reports (attachment removed to protect patient identity). Most of them seem to be normal except for mild ANA positive. You are right that it all looks connected and we need to reach the diagnosis, as management gets easier then. | 987 | Q. I have stomach disturbance along with pop sound in legs and knee joints. Please help. |
Hello doctor, I am 56 years old male and have been treated for depression for 32 years. I have tried numerous antidepressants. I have responded to ECT extremely well in the past but it did not hold me. I could no longer afford monthly maintenance treatments. I have currently started a treatment called Theta burst stimulation. After nine, 3-minute sessions I have had a few normal days but more days where I feel depressed. I am more depressed after I have started this treatment. Is this normal? I am scheduled to have a total of 36, 3-minute sessions. | Hello. I read your query and understand your concerns. Although it is too early to measure the effect of TBS (theta-burst stimulation) after the nine sessions there is a good possibility that there will be an enduring effect over the coming weeks. My statement is based on the fact that early response (may be transient one) is an indicator of long term response for most antidepressant therapies including medications, TMS (transcranial magnetic stimulation), ECT (electroconvulsive therapy) and now rTMS (repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation), and TBS. Considering the above fact I like to state that reversal of symptoms after a few days of normalcy at this stage is considered normal and we need to hold on till the completion of therapy. Although this is not the part of the question I like to draw your attention to the suboptimal dose of Effexor for someone who has depression over the 30 years. I rarely see any patient who responds to below 150 mg of Effexor after a prolonged history of depression, say 30 years. I hope this helps. | 988 | Q. I have depression for 32 years, but I am more depressed with my recent TBS. Why? |
Hello doctor, I have this pimple in my inner ear and it has been eight days but until now it is still hurt. I am currently taking Mefenamic acid. | Hi, Welcome back to icliniq.com. There could be an infection of the hair follicle in the ear as a result of which it can create excruciating pain. Besides the wax would have further got pushed toward the ear drum causing severe pain. Plain use of antiinflammatories like Mefenamic acid alone will not bring much benefit. You will have to take antibiotics as well to handle the infection. I suggest taking tablet Ciprofloxacin 500 mg one tablet two times a day for the next 1 week. Please take an antireflux tablet such as tablet Pantoprazole 40 mg once in the morning before breakfast. Along with this, I suggest you to apply Candid ear drops three drops thrice a day. Continue Mefenamic acid one tablet two times a day. Keep your ear dry and do not allow water to enter the ear. Stop swimming for another two weeks until the ear completely heals. Please do not attempt to clean the ear at any cost as the infection can further flare-up. I hope this helps. | 989 | Q. I have pimple in my inner ear with pain. Please suggest treatment. |

Hello doctor, I have multiple small cysts in both ovaries (PCOS). Our family friend suggested me to consume Kalarchikai medicine, powdered mixed with pepper and honey to have it for one mandalam (48 days). I have completed nearly 44 days by consuming one small ball of the mixture every morning and before two weeks I got my periods. Then I had checked whether the cysts were dissolved by having an abdomen scan. But still, small multiple follicules have been seen in it with both ovaries enlarged. Kindly suggest me what I can do further. I got married before one and a half years and I am much worried about my pregnancy. I have gallstones as well. | Hello. I just read your query. See Kalarachi Kai choornam is helpful in amenorrhea. As far as small cysts are concerned they are unmatured eggs which failed to induce menstrual cycle previously, as a result, they got collected in the ovary and they will remain in the ovary. Now, you have got your periods you can start trying for conception. But I advise you to do it under the supervision of a nearby gynecologist because egg size is important while conception and that you can know by ovulation study. Ovulation study is performed under the supervision of a gynecologist. For gall stones, surgical intervention is required generally. Medicine is not of much help. | 993 | Q. Will Kalarchikai cure multiple ovarian cysts in PCOD? |

Hello doctor, My 13-month-old baby has neutrophils 23, lymphocytes 73, WBC 6100, and hemoglobin level is 8.9. Is there any worry? | Hello, Welcome to the icliniq.com. Following is my opinion for your asked question regarding CBC (complete blood count) of your child. The lymphocyte count are usually high in children. So you may need not to worry about lymphocytes count. But the hemoglobin level of your child is definitely low suggestive of anemia. It could be nutritional anemia or hemolytic anemia like cause. I suggest you do further work up for anemia with serum ferritin, serum iron, peripheral smear examination, and USG abdomen. You can consult a nearby pediatrician once for physical examination. His PCV (packed cell volume) and MCV (mean corpuscular volume) is low, so most probably he is having iron deficiency anemia. According to the cause specific treatment is guided. I hope this helps. | 995 | Q. My 13-month-old baby's report shows lymphocytes 73 and hemoglobin 8. 9. Is there any problem? |
I am looking for a good probiotic. I have read conflicting results online and don’t know which ones are a rip off or legitimate. It seems for one to be affective it needs to survive the trip to your intestines and too many make that claim without knowing if it’s true. Can you recommend one that Gastroenterologist recommend that don’t cost a fortune? Thank you so much in advance! Medical history: I am healthy with no Gastro problems that I know of. Only medication I am on is Zyrtec | Hello. I welcome you to icliniq. Well It is very hard to define which probiotic is the best to one. Since Microbiota (pooled microorganisms in your gut) is completely different from the other person and For one to know what range of microbiota is present in your gut; you have to get it tested by giving a fresh stool sample and ask for stool mapping for microbiota. Once you have report in hand Anybody can tell which good bacteria are short and should be replaced and which bad bacteria are present to be removed. Actually there is no specific regimen of probiotics developed to empirically replace with probiotics. studies has largely seen Bifidobacterium bifidum, Bifidobacterium breve, Streptococcus thermophilus, Bifidobacterium longum subsp longum, and other lactibacillus species such Lactobacillus rhamnosus, Lactococcus lactis, Lactobacillus casei, Lactobacillus paracasei, Lactobacillus plantarum, and B. longum all work well. But there is no single capsule that can fit all. You have to take a probiotics which can anticipate and fullfil your need. The one which I commonly prescribe is Ecotec twice daily beside good diets including fruits green vegetables and yougurt. Avoid use of antibiotics as possible as can. The probiotic use comes after a good healthy diets and avoidance of antibiotics commonly used for common infecion of gut and flu. I hope this will help good day follow up if need to discuss more about different diets and life style modifications required to keep your gut healthy | 996 | Q. Can you recommend a good probiotic? |
