Hi, I have been having neck pain like in the muscle behind the ear going toward the shoulder. My husband says the muscle feels like it has a knot in it. Today my 6 year old came home from school and said his neck had been huring him all day long today. He has not heard me talking about my neck hurting since he was gone all day yesterday. Thanks
Hello, The pain in the neck can be due to a muscle spasm or due to an infected node in the area. In case there is no palpable node then a muscle spasm is more likely. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

My 10 month old has had a bad cold and hacking cough for the last 5 weeks. Almost continual streaming nose and lots of phlegm. This morning he projectile vomited up all his milk. I then tried him on solids, but half an hour later he projectile vomited all his solids up. Any advice on next steps? He doesn t have a temperature and seems happy otherwise.
Hi! I'm sorry to hear that about your child. His cough and colds can trigger the vomiting. You said he has lots of phlegm, the body will try to eliminate it. You can try small frequent feeding, in that way the stomach is not full when he coughs. Also, when you feed him, keep him upright. We want to prevent the risk of aspiration. Monitor him for any signs of difficulty in breathing and or deny Chat Doctor. If any of these appears, bring him to his doctor for proper assessment. I hope I was able to help you. Have a good day! Sincerely, Handle Dulay-See, M.D. Pediatrics

My dad has lung cancer and just in the last two days he has become very confused and cannot put sentences together, cannot feed himself, walk, or go to the restroom on his own...does this appear to perhaps reached his brain or could this be from the strong pain patches that he has been on for just a few days now? Thanks
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your situation and problem. There are few causes for altered mental status and confusion in lung cancer patients. 1. Spread of tumor in brain.2. Electrolyte imbalance especially hyponatremia (low sodium).3. Acute psychosis from the fact of having incurable disease. So get done MRI brain to rule out brain metastases. Get done S. Na+ to rule put hyponatremia. If both are normal than consult psychiatrist to rule out acute psychosis.

Over the past 3 days, my pelvis has been painful to touch, mostly on my right side as if there is a bruise just under the skin, although I havent done anything that may have caused this. I have no other symptoms or pain, just a lot of tenderness in that area, around a golf ball sized area.
Hi, from history it seems that you might be having appendicitis pain giving this tenderness at lower right abdomen. Consult surgeon and get examined.Meanwhile, take some antispasmodic like Metal spas for pain. Ok and take care.

My 8 month old has HFM, and is in a lot of pain. Blisters everywhere, barely able to sleep and is inconsolable when awake. Other than giving him Tylenol and offering cold things to chew on I m not sure what to do to keep him comfortable enough to sleep?
Hand, foot and mouth disease is a viral infection that is frequently seen now-a-days. Viral infections do not respond to antibiotics and resolve spontaneously in 5-10 days. Management is supportive. Giving Tylenol should reduce the pain and help. Use lidocaine oral gel over the oral lesions, and it will help in relieving the pain. You may give pedicloryl syrup and help the child sleep. I am sorry that you would need to be a bit patient.

About 8 days ago I was bending over while placing a box on a shelf in the garage, and heard a pop on my side. It came from my lower left side about 6-8 inches from my chest, the shorter ribs i think. There is no swelling or bruising , just painful, especially if I lay on that side. Is it a rib?
Hi, It might be a simple musculoskeletal pain. As of now, you can take analgesics like Acetaminophen or Tramadol for pain relief. If symptoms persist better to consult an orthopedic and get an MRI done. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

my father is having bad stomach pain. he had this pain before and was told it was alcoholic gastritous. he hasnt drank any alcohol and woke up in pain this morning that has gotten worse. he too a ranitidine at 9am. will an ibprofen help with the pain or be safe to take?
Hellos your father stated that this pain is due to gastritis (caused by alcohol intake) , sanitizing is not working. When such case visit with excruciating pain, patient need to take antacid (if it contains tetracaine, better)4 T S F (until and unless contraindicated) according to necessity. Also give your father diclofenac 100 mg+ Chat Doctor. Ibuprofen will further produce (aggravate) gastritis. Your father will get relief immediately with this treatment. But this is a prescription treatment so take a prescription from a doctor. Still, no relief within 4-5 hours then consult a physician and get his opinion. Good luck.

back in 1998 I broke my c6 and damaged my dic between c 6 c5 for 3 years I was bed ridin chronic pain 2002 they put me on dilaudid 2mg 4 tm dy which made some diff then added 25 mcg fen now I am at 175 mcg fen one 100 and one 75 also dilaudid 4 mg 4 times day now my doc for trial they want me to try drop the dilaudid and try 30mg of morphin 3 times aday the fen stay the same which would work best or a complete revamp I need to get some life back I am 71 and my name stuart
Hi Stuart, Dilaudid contains an opioid HY Chat Doctor. So if your doctor wishes to shift you from diluted to morphine, in my opinion, it will be better to ask him clearly what his reasons are for advising the change. If you were comfortable on the previous regimen, then there is no point in making any change. Best wishes.

I have general gum recession on my bottom teeth and slight recession on my upper canines. Im thinking about getting gum grafts to cover the exposed root surfaces. But as Im currently wearing braces, Im not sure what I should do. Should I wait until the orthodontic treatment is over and then get gum grafts? Or is during the orthodontic treatment fine?
Dear friend. Thanks for sharing your concern. As you are wearing orthodontic braces for teeth alignment, your teeth will take new position due to it root movements.Therefore, it is best to go for gum grafts only after that. Also remember mild recession can itself get corrected after orthodontic braces removal. It is only in severe recession cases you need to get your gums covered with tissues through grafts. That will reduce your teeth sensitivity as well as enhance esthetically. Meanwhile, it is advised to get your teeth cleaned once, upon consulting your orthodontist, because deposition of calculus and stains also leads to gum recession. Maintain very good oral hygiene, and you can use antiseptic mouth rinses too. Hope it helps. Thanks. Take care.

I recently had a stent put in my left carotid artery and am on Plavix. I have developed sizable bruise on my forearm which has a hard knot in the center of it. Do I need to see my doctor about this or will it just go away? Could it be a blood clot even tho I am on a blood thinner?
Hi, Greetings from Chat Doctor. Since you had a stent put on your left carotid artery you have to be on a blood thinner medicine like clopidogrel or aspirin which prevent platelet aggregation and clotting. If you have developed a bruise it is due to clopidogrel overdose. If it's enlarging in size or if multiple bruises are appearing you need to consult doctor and adjust the dose of clopidogrel

I have a daughter who s hair is starting to fall out since she was a baby. I thought it s normal until 2 months ago, her hair falls double. I went to different dermatologists but they can t give me an answer to what is causing for this hair fall. I thought it s due to malnutrition for she s thin and never had a regular milk to drink for she s allergic to milk. But I have been giving her powder milk and she seems to be gaining weight but the hair fall doesn t stop. Please help me find out what is causing my daughter s hair fall before her hair starts receeding in front. Thank you so much.
Hi, Hair fall can be due to zinc and protein deficiency. Give her zinc supplements like Sure and high protein diet like meat, eggs. You didn't mention the age, so It's difficult to counsel regarding diet but make him eat good diet according to age and get a check-up from dermatologist for some fungal infection causing hair loss. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Hi there, I have been having problems with my stomach for the past few weeks! I feel bloated and vomit after food but I dont throw anything up. I have also felt some lumps on my upper stomach right under my chest bones mainly my right side. The lumps are getting more and when I touch they hurt! Can you please give me some advice.
Hi and welcome to Chat Doctor. Bloating and vomiting are nonspecific symptoms, but these lumps you're feeling are definitely something that must be evaluated! You should do at least ultrasound to rule some serious diagnosis out. Usually such symptoms are caused by gastritis, gErd or hiatus hernia, so gastrostomy should be performed too. There is no specific cure. If you have only gastritis this is treated by changing dietary habits. You should avoid alcohol, coffee,smoking, fats and fast food, carbonated Chat Doctor. 1 hour after meal you should not sit or lay. Also lay with elevated upper body. If you are overweight you should do often exercise. But as I said, I really suggest to DI some imaging tests do investigate these lumps. Wish you good health.

I noticed bruising on both left and right legs after driving 12 hours straight (took four 1 hr breaks in between to get gas and food). Is this unexplained bruising related to sitting down too long in the car or it is something serious that I need to see my doctor.
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. In my opinion, you should consult your doctor and get done blood investigation to rule out any disease. Skin bruises on bilateral lower limb after prolonged Chat Doctor. So get done PT (prothrombin time), APT (activated prothrombin time) and bilateral lower limb venous Doppler. If all are normal then no need to worry. Hope I have solved your query. Wish you good health. Thanks.

My 2yr old grandaughter has always had trouble wth constipation and has been under her famly doctor, she has been taking medicine for quiet a while. My daughter in law is worried about her taking the medicine and asked for a Consultant to look at her. The first visit he said try a dairy free diet, this did not make any difference. Now she has a very swollen tummy and has lost weight. She has also been off her food the last couple of weeks eating very little. She has also cut another couple of teeth so we thought it might be that. The hospital have taken xray of her stomach, and she will be having some blood tests in the next couple of weeks. As you can imagine we are very worried, have you any idea what it may be?

Hi my name is sahira, 29 age, my husband is 31 yrs old. We are trying for a baby now I am taking Menogon 3 inj on alternate days and 1 pregnyl inj, how many chances of conceiving are with this inj? My hormones and my husband tests are clear. O have 2 fibroids in my uterus, does conceiving effect it?
Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor forum. As you describe both of you are perfect in the tests of gynecologist, you need not have this treatment. But if 3 years passed after the marriage, most of the doctors use this treatment. Mention is a purified combination of follicle stimulating hormone and luteinizing hormone. To induce ovulation and enable pregnancy in women. In women, Chat Doctor is used together with other hormones called follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH) in the treatment of infertility. So there is every possibility of getting pregnant. It needs per vaginal ultrasound scanning at the time of expected ovulation, to see there is maturation of the follicles, and ovulation. If you don't get pregnant in the first time, you may become pregnant you will become pregnant in the second cycle. So never get confused, or get anxiety, as they may spoil the process. Wishing for a quick and complete recovery. Thank you.

My grandson has a bad case of acne and seen Christa Heard CRNP today. She recommended antibiotics and a cream to be applied morning and night, to make a long story short the medicine was 600. dollars and I am a single woman raising my grandchild needless to say he was very upset when we left the drugstore what or where do we go from here? Sandra
Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor. Thanks for your query. I understand that 600 dollars is a huge amount and it's even puzzling to me why a course of antibiotics and a cream would cost that much. I presume that you don't have insurance, so the only option would be to be prescribed more cost-effective medication. Furthermore, I would suggest that you can let the CRNP know that you cannot afford the medication and request her to prescribe something else more cost-effective and affordable. Since acne is not a serious condition, I don't think your grandson needs a very strong antibiotic or other expensive medication. Wish you all the best.

I presume that you don't have insurance, so the only option would be to be prescribed more cost-effective medication. Furthermore, I would suggest that you can let the CRNP know that you cannot afford the medication and request her to prescribe something else more cost-effective and affordable. Since acne is not a serious condition, I don't think your grandson needs a very strong antibiotic or other expensive medication. Wish you all the best.

Hi there, Thanks for posting in Chat Doctor. Yes you can take Union for fatty liver. You are obese. Weight reduction is the first step in the treatment of fatty liver disease. Also check your blood glucose levels as diabetes is also a common cause of fatty liver. I hope that answers your query. Regards.

I am getting frustrated w/ my doctor. I have Hep C so he blames all problems on that. I have had a hysterectomy and now have terrible hot flashes but because I am a smoke he will not give me anything for that. I have a dozen nodules in/on my thyroid but my blood levels are in the high side of normal so I do not take a thyroid medicine. I have fybromalgia that I take gabapentin and tramadol for. For well over a year now I have been having these episodes where I become very hot, shaky, nauseous, and feel like I am going to pass out. They are getting worse. I am having severe headaches. They say I am not diabetic. Twice in the last 3 weeks it has felt like someone flipped me sideways and I have about fallen. It only happens for a few seconds. I am becoming very frightened by all of this. I have a doctor appt. tomorrow. But I don t know if he will listen to me
Thanks for your query at ChatDoctorAccording to your history you have undergone hysterectomy that could be a possible cause of your hot flushes, etc. You seem to be having some hormonal problem. You must visit a gynecologist and get investigated for hormonal tests. Furthermore, you might need hormone replacement therapy. I would like to add Chat Doctor. But you get you viral title done at 6 monthly basis and regular follow up. Can you guide me on your prior treatment? Take care!

Hello, I have lost my voice for about 2 months now it was getting better and then it came on again last week. I have not removed my wisdom teeth but they are now growing in, im 40 could you tell me what it might be and if my wisdom teeth have anthing to do with it
Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Read your query. Wisdom tooth eruption usually doesn't cause any voice loss. If I were your treating dentist, I would advise you to visit your ENT surgeon to check for the cause of voice loss. It can be due to various causes like laryngitis, pharyngitis, goiter and many other conditions. Hope this was useful. Thanks and regards.

My resting heart rate at the doctors office today was 132. I have narcolepsy and am on Adderall XR 30mg bid and Adderall IR 10mg tablets 2-4 times daily for afternoon sleepiness. My blood pressure was normal 120/77. Should I be concerned about my heart rate? The last time I was in the office it was 110 just sitting in his office.
Hello! Welcome on Chat Doctor! Regarding your concern, I would explain that your resting heart rate values are a little high, but they can be related to Adderall IR adverse effects (it is known to increase the heart rate by stimulating the sympathetic nervous system). As your blood pressure values are normal, the situation does not seem to be really concerning. But, I would recommend performing some other tests to be sure that everything is OK: - an ambulatory 24-48 hours ECG monitoring to examine your heart rate values for a prolonged time-complete blood count for anemia-thyroid hormone levels for thyroid dysfunction- blood electrolytes for electrolyte imbalance. If all these tests result normal, there is nothing to worry about. If your heart rate is persistently high, I would recommend discussing with your doctor on the possibility of reducing the dose of Adderall. Hope to have been helpful! Wishing good health,

My blood pressure has been low for the last month. 88/58. Now I just noticed 2 marble size lumps on the side of my neck. I had a fever earlier in the week and problems with allergies. Lost 55 pounds recently and lowered salt intake. Nor sure if all is related.
CLUMPS IN THE NECK CAN BE A INDICATOR OF INFECTION OR IT CAN BE ANYTHING SERIOUS LIKE CARCINOMA(cancer)sides of the neck has many nodes called as lymph node, its function is to trap any infectious agent in the body, swelling in lymph node indicates that there are infectious agents in body, as your lymph nodes are trapping those infectious agents, the size is increasing however in some case swollen nodes are an indicator of carcinoma its very possible that these enlarged nodes are pressing the vagus nerve which passes in the vicinity, vagus plays an imp role in maintaining blood pressure, increased pressure on vagus can lower the BP due to overstimulationbut a fever is indicative of ongoing infection would suggest you total leukocyte countdiffrential leukocyte count complete blood count test to rule out any ongoing infection if its normal then a Fine needle aspiration cytology of enlarged nodes should be done to rule out carcinoma

My fiancee had a stint put in after her gallbladder surgery. Today we had the stint removed at 1pm, we ate lunch (she had a small steak with a sweet potato), and she felt fine until 630pm where she started to experience a chill. She does not have a temperature but is still experiencing chills. Should I monitor her temperature to see if she has a fever , give her a Motrin, or take her to the hospital. Friends have recommended giving her a tylenol and watch to see if she gets a fever.
Hi, you have got removed the CBD stent. Why was this put?was it cholecystitis/cholelithiasis/common bile duct stone. When CBD stent was removed was there any infection found like pus discharge. I feel she needs to be given antibiotics which covers both aerobic and anaerobic organisms for 5-7 days. Talk to your physician/gastroenterologist. All the very best.

I m very terrified. I just noticed a very dark purple almost black lump in the back of my mouth about half an inch or so after my moler. Causes no pain unless messed with. WHAT IS IT?! Is it deadly?! Can I cure it at home?! Please say yes! WHY IS IT THERE PLEASE HELP!!!
Hi. Welcome to Chat Doctor . I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns. As per your complaint a dark purple lump next to molar tooth can be due to a dilated vein also known as Varicose vein or a Varix. The lump might be due to formation of a small blood clot that got lodged in that area forming a Thrombus. It is not AA serious condition and will not cause any serious problem. It can gradually reduce in size on its own. If it is not ruled out as the cause other causes can be like mucous cyst or Muscle, Hematoma or a Hematoma. Confirmation can be done by getting a clinical evaluation done by an Oral Physician or an Oral Surgeon. Hope this information helps. Thanks and regards. Chat Doctor.

I have been experiencing hip pain/upper thigh pain that was intermittent and now is consistent. It is more of a burning type pain. The pain disrupts sleep and is painful while sitting still. I am a 53yr old female, 175lbs. Last year blood work shows my white blood cell count to be slightly elevated but I have seen a oncologist who didnt find anything. I also have been very tired and have been getting frequent headaches. I was recently diagnosed with a autoimmune disease Vitilago. I have seen a dermatalgist and endocrinologist. No one has any answer. Where do I go now?
Hi, thanks for writing to Chat Doctor. Hip and upper thigh pain which is of burning nature and is occurring more in sitting position especially in obese individuals (as in your case) is suggestive of NEURALGIA PARENTHETICAL. This condition results due to the compression of Lateral femoral cutaneous nerve (pinched nerve) at the level of groin fold. A few conservative measures which are effective in treating this condition includes - wearing loose clothing (avoiding tightness at the level of the waist and groin fold), Losing weight, taking OTC pain relievers such as acetaminophen (Tylenol) ibuprofen (Advil) or aspirin, Physical therapy to strengthen the muscles of the legs and buttocks etc. Other causes arising from the Hip joint are also to be excluded by having X-rays and MRI scans, which may also present with similar picture. So, I suggest you to consult an orthopedic surgeon for a detailed clinical examination and further management. Hope this information is helpful. Good day

Hi, First, you should measure your blood pressure and if it were high, you should receive a medical treatment, take Aspirin 160 mg, decrease fat and salt intake, do Lipid profile and do an ECG and an ECHO on your heart. Second, if you take oral contraceptive pills or a hormonal replacement therapy you should ask a gynecologist for help. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

I had a skiing accident that caused a hematoma on about 50% of my hip a little over 10 years ago. My hip started to bother me when I laid on it about 6 months ago. Now the pain is to the point I cannot sit for more than 15 minutes with out my hip, knee, leg, and feet aching and sometimes get a warm sensation where the hematoma was. There is still a bump on my hip where the bruise was. I also never had any procedure for the hematoma. Should I see a doctor asap or am I ok waiting for my appointment with my general doctoc?
HelloWelcome to Chat Doctor, Due to blunt injury there can be hematoma collection. The bleeding that occurs result in hematoma collection. Over a period of time, as hematoma resolves it cause local skin symptoms around the hematoma. I would suggest you to apply ice and thrombhophobe ointment will help and take adequate rest. If required you may need to do blood investigation for prognosis and recovery. Take precaution to avoid infection around hematoma. If it continues to trouble I would suggest you to consult orthopaedician for further evaluation and treatment. Thank you.

i have chipping L5 L6 in my neck i was wondering if this could cause swelling around my neck even in the front. i am supposed to go for surgery but haven t heard from the surgeon yet. i am in a lot of pain in my arms and tingling down my arms to my finger tips.
Hithank-you for providing the brief history of you let me make a correction that C5-C6 comes in neck region and not L5-L6?.as you mentioned your history what I can understand is that you have pain & tingling in the arm up to the fingers.these symptoms arise due to Cervical spine disc pathology. For which I can recommend you to take physical therapy. This will help you reduce the pain and tingling sensation. Also on a later stages exercises will be introduced.in my clinical practice, I have seen many cases with similar issues and all response well to physical therapy.regards Jay In Chat Doctor.

My husband has a large, hard mass in the sternum. It has been there for about a year however in the past few months he has developed severe stomach pains, nausea immediately after eating and severe heart burn. His stomach constantly feels full and he spends a lot of time in the restroom. Is should also mention that about 8 years ago he was diagnosed with pre cancer of the stomach. This weekend the stomach pains were so severe that he could not get out of the bed. Could this be something serious? He is 44, 5 10 and weighs 210.
HI. This is definitely a serious matter as he was diagnosed to have a pre-cancerous lesion in the stomach. He needs upper GI Endoscopy. The mass on the sternum is not related. I would advise for this HERD like symptoms the following: Santa 12 hourly. Pepcid every 3 to 4 hours when on empty stomach. Add Risperidone or such motility regulators. Soft bland diet. No aerated colas / soda/ Chat Doctor. Early dinner. No late nights. Treatment for anxiety (as prescribed / needs a prescription by your Doctor)Lying in a reclining positional around after dinner. Think of the factors which increased the present problem, HERD, anxiety and try to avoid. If no relief, get Upper GI endoscopy done and get prescription for added Medicines. EKG for the heart n a safer side to rule out cardiac problems. This helps all my patients and should help you, hopefully.

I was just diagnosed with crohns desise a few months ago. Im also taking medicine for indigestion and heartburn. a few weeks ago I started this pain in my upper left abdomen, my gastro didnt seem concerned and my family doctor said it was a pulled muscle from coughing. pain has subsided for now. Last night I was woken up to severe stomach pain/ burning sensation in the middle of my stomach and severe nausea and started sweating. I could feel my heart racing. I did throw up a little and it calmed down a little bit but am still nauseated this morning.
Hi. Thanks for your query. You are suffering from Crowns, this is a recurrent problem and most probable be the reason or the pain in abdomen you have. It is better to get re-investigated for the fresh attack of pain, nausea, vomiting, sweating you had as there may be another problem associated. I would advise you the following:Get the blood, urine and stool test done. Standing X-ray of the abdomen and Ultrasonography. Get a course of additional medicines if advised so. Get PPI, Domperoidone, antacid. Alter the diet to suit the intestines. If required you can always take a second opinion of another Doctor or Gastroenterologist.

my lower left back around the back of my ribs has a sharp speratic pain. it has slightly eased since the first time it was hit and injured. i was wondering if it could be a cracked rib or what it may be as it still hurts when i sit or stretch in certain ways.
Hellenes this may be one or more cracked ribs, or it could even be a fracture in a transverse process of a vertebraNeither of those usually requires any treatment like surgery, but it would be a good idea to see a doctor and get both rib x-rays and a spinal x-ray series

I have suffered from what seemed to be RA for five years now. I was treated with methotrexate yet continued to suffer joint pain at times when having allergic reactions. I was tested by an allergy doctor and told I did not test positive to any known allergens on tests. Yet continue to have knee joint pain and itchy tattoos that turn bumpy throughout the year. On and off. I discontinued Methotrexate treatment and I went on a hunch and was treated for Lyme disease. I am around rescue dogs as a hobby not all the time. I got better and was able to walk again. However now I find whenever I have allergic reactions itchy tattoos sinus issues my knees become painful again. Any ideas? Tatto related?
Hello, I can understand your concern for side effects of tattoos. After analyzing your query it appears that you are quite stressed regarding the tattoos and its side effects. Though in general if the tattoos are made in sterile procedure then there is no any harm of the same but in case if the tattoos are carved by unsterile needle or is made with infected needle then can transmit multiple infections. Temporarily it can cause secondary infection and later on the tattoos can cause permanent darkening of the skin which is actually difficult to be managed. You can take further guidance from a family physician. Take care.

Hi, my 79yo mother noticed a lump in her neck on the left side, mid jaw line, extending from just below the jaw to the middle of her neck. It is soft, no pain. She has been running a low grade fever and has been very tired. The doctor ordered a ultrasound which was inconclusive and sent her to a surgeon. She is getting a CT tomorrow as the ultrasound showed a nodule on the right and a mass on the left. The surgeon said whatever it is it needs to come out. What are they suspecting?She does not smoke or drink, has a history of atrial fib and was on amiodarone until her doctor discontinued it 2 months ago due to high liver studies. she is now on only beta blockers. Her thyroid studies at her last physical 6 months ago were normal.
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. By your history and description, your mother is mostly suffering from thyroid cancer. Her CT report clearly mentioned left sided mass and right sided nodule. So possibility of papillary thyroid cancer is more. Old age is an independent risk factor. It is usually painless and present only as enlarged mass in the neck. So better to get done fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) for the confirmation of papillary thyroid cancer. Consult oncologist and plan future treatment. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your mother. Thanks.

Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor. There is apparently no organic problem in you. It is just that you need a strong motivation to start reading. No psychiatrist will be able to help you here. You have to get into a group which is preparing for the exams and be a part of the competition, only then you will be able to read well. Wish you the best.

AUDREY
Hi, Thanks for your query. Numbness in the toes indicate that there is some sort of neurological disturbance (impaired conduction of nerve impulse) in the involved nerves. This may result due to compression of the nerve at some level during its course or may also result due to some systemic diseases. A detailed clinical examination and few investigations like EMG & Nerve conduction studies are needed to establish a correct diagnosis of your problem. I suggest you to consult a Neurophysician and follow the advice. I do hope that you have found something helpful, and I will be glad to answer any further query. Take care

I had a complete hysterectomy 8 yrs ago. I WAS PUT ON A NUMBER of ssrs and finally found Prozac to work. I was put on Xanax for anziety. having more issues with panick attacks due to high stress last year. dr is talking mood stabilizer oxcarbazepine. will that help
! If your diagnosis is just anxiety disorder and not bipolar disorder, then oxecarbazepien will be best avoided. There is many milder and better molecules which can help you and will not require many dosage level monitoring (like oxecarbazepien). You may go for venlafaxine or paroxetine, or combination with Aquitaine. These all are good at handling anxiety and panic attacks. Your doctor will know about them. Hope this helps you please feel free to ask more questions for clarification

HI,Myself Balaji, my mom is admitted in hospital due to reduction of wbc count. She is treated for Rheumatoid arthretis and we suspect that it could be the side affects of rheumatoid medication. In recent test, It was found 760 wbc counts. Bone marrow test was conducted yesterday and we are waiting for the results. What is the next step? when will the blood count increase again?
Hi, Sorry to hear about your mother. Low WBC count could be due medicines like methotrexate given for rheumatoid arthritis. It could also be related to disease itself. Does she have any spleen enlargement? It usually takes a few weeks for the counts to recover. Till then, they would give her prophylactic medicines to prevent infections.

Low WBC count could be due medicines like methotrexate given for rheumatoid arthritis. It could also be related to disease itself. Does she have any spleen enlargement? It usually takes a few weeks for the counts to recover. Till then, they would give her prophylactic medicines to prevent infections.
My boyfriend was punched a few times in the stomach about 3 days ago during a fight and he began having severe upper stomach pains 2 days later. He describes the pain as 2 knives stabbing him. He refuses to go to the E.R. so, I gave him a couple of Tylenol and he went to bed. The pain comes and goes in a 1-2 minute intervals and only lasts less than a minute. Is this pain a sign of internal damage and is there anything, other than Tylenol, that I can do for him at home?
Hi. Do nothing at home. The blunt injury causing such pain can very well indicate an internal problem with organs or bleeding or tear or so. Give him nothing orally. He needs to be investigated urgently to rule out serious problem.

I am experiencing server pain from my crotch to my feet. I ve had a triple by pass in the past. In the last 6months I ve had swelling and extreme pain throughout both legs. The pain often brings me to tears. What caI do to comfort my legs until I see the doctor on Monday. I need relief.
Hi, It's likely a sciatica. You're It D level, x lumbar spine AP/ Lat view and further may need MRI if x-rays are not informative. The treatment for this is physiotherapy to release the nerve compression so may visit the nearby physiotherapist. Till the time you can have tabbed Neuronion forte once a day which is a nerve vitamin and Diclofenac/Ibuprofen. Also, you should get nerve stabilizer prescribed like Tab Pregabalin will stabilize the nerve and reduce pain. Etc. You need to visit orthopedic for all these investigations. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Hi, I got a flu shot a couple days ago. For a few days my arm was very sore (that s usual, I know) but then three days ago I realized my pain moved up to the base of my neck where I know feel a lump under my skin. Is that normal or should I seek Medical Attention for it? If it is normal, how many days do you usually keep it?
Hello, I read carefully your query and understand your concern. Your symptoms seem to be related to a side effect of the shot. I suggest using anti-inflammatory medications such as Acetaminophen to relieve the pain. I also suggest using cold compresses for local application. The symptoms may last for a few days. Hope my answer was helpful. If you have further queries feel free to contact me again. Kind regards! Chat Doctor.

I have had elevated AST / ALT levels (twice the high end of normal), low Alk. Phosphate , low sodium. Ultrasound clear, so was MRI, but trace amounts of ascites and two cysts found on liver. Tested for Hep. A, B, C, all clear. I do not have celiac but I think I have food intolerances to high fiber foods and have bad flatulence when I eat those things. Otherwise, pretty asymptomatic. What could be the problem? I hope I am not in the beginning stages of liver disease.
Hi and welcome to Chat Doctor. Thank you for the query. Well, ascites indicates some significant liver disease, and you should try to find the exact cause which can be some autoimmune disorder, congenital liver disease, certain infections or metabolic diseases. You should do liver biopsy to rule this out. Wish you good health. Regards

hi, i just consulted a cosmectic surgeon and she recommended a cosmelan peeling bcoz i hav got acne type skin along wth break outs pigmentation and marks, n small acnes on forehead, my skin is almost damaged.......is this a good suggestion to go for cosmelan surgery????
Hi, welcome to Chat Doctor, cosmelan peel is very effective for hyperpigmentation. Its results are good, but it should be applied to the skin by dermatologist. Peel is washed at home after wearing the mask for hours. After washing another cream is applied at home by patient itself. Hope this will help you. Thanks

Hello , i wanted to ask if this medicine good for flu + fever cough cold . ( Neoclav 625mg ) i used 2 pills and i dont feel its usefull . to let u know i am 20 years old female and i have high bloodpreassure . i have flu and that makes my blood pressure goes too high because i cant breath well . i cant use nose sprea cuz it has salt in it which it effect my bloodpressure . also am not sure which medicine is good for me to use .
See, antibiotics are not meant for symptomatic relief. They are used to treat the infection and in case of viral infection, they prevent the secondary infection. One should take antihistamines, paracetamol (a cough syrup if suffering from cough) as well. And also, antibiotics works when their course is completed, say for 3 days (i.e. 6 tablets) or 5 days (i.e. 10 tablets)

Today, my daughter s teacher told my husband and i that she realize that my daughter has been passing water frequently at school. I have not realize it at home, but however, i remember she going to the bathroom frequently when we were at church often. My daughter is six years old.
Hi, the most common cause of frequent urination in a 6-year-old child is urinary tract infection. Other cause could be Diabetes mellitus. You should do urine routine microscopy test and urine culture test and blood sugar levels. Based on reports, treatment for urinary tract infection or diabetes needs to be started. Review with reports. Take care.

Does an ECG show up any potential heart problems. I had one last week for ectopic beats Ive been getting as a part of anxiety and it came back normal. I have had 3 in the last 8 years all normal. I had a weird sensation in my chest almost like my heart bubbled or flip flopped whilst I was vivid dreaming. Wondering whether I should be comforted by the recent ecg and its scaring me and making my anxiety worse.
ECG is the representation of your heart activity for that 30 seconds. Like all test it helps us detect many problems of your heart, however like other test It's not always true. If at all you want to investigate for ectopic beats consider below. I'd the symptoms do occur every day, get a 24 hour holder. If they are very rare once in a month or so and troublesome, an event recorder is a better investigation . Before you embark of such a tedious job let me assure that 85% population has at some point of time in life ectopic s, however most 99% of there are benign and not relevant clinically, so you should be worried it there are no associated symptoms Regards

I tripped and fell down my stairs a few days ago. I fell sideways and hit my lower back to the side on a step. It hurt right away, but hours later hurt much worse and sitting and laying in positions hurt much more. I ve iced it, but not much improvement. Should I go see a doctor or should I take over the counter medicine until the pain subsides?
You should hurry to emergency room of hospital to do some investigations like x-ray and abdominal ultrasound to exclude abdominal bleeding or injury and any bone fractures.

I have an ALT (SGPT) of 61, but my other Lever function tests are within normal ranges. Should I be concerned, or is my old physician right that it is no big deal? He is significantly older and seeming dismissive in general since I don t look sick.
Thanks for posting your concern on Chat Doctor! I appreciate your concern towards the high ALT (SGPT) level. Age, gender, problem for which ALT is advised, and its duration, alcohol intake if any are not mentioned. Normal Adult Range for ALT : 0 - 48 U/Therefore, ALT in your case is slightly elevated. So, as your old physician suggested you need not have to worry about it. You need to have some lifestyle modifications to reduce the level of ALT. Daily physical exercise, eat healthy balanced diet preferably fresh fruits and vegetables which contain several anti-oxidants that help in reducing the ALT, AVOID ALCOHOL if any, avoid fatty vegan and non-vegan meals, fast junk foods, take plenty of oral fluids. INSA Allah, in due course of time your ALT will be normal. Wishing you best of your health.

I have sharp, excruciating pain in my lower left side of my mouth from a bad tooth. Its the 2nd one from the back. It has a cavity in it. I had tried various home remedies to be rid of it, and nothing works. My funds are all but nothing, so I am worried a dentist may not help me....What can I do?
Thanks for your query. I have gone through your query. The pain could be because of the infection in the root tip of the tooth. The home remedies will not help. We have to treat the cause by treating the tooth with root canal treatment or extraction. Consult your oral physician and get radiograph done and start with the treatment. You can take a course of antibiotics and analgesics like penicillin and diclofenac(if you are not allergic). I hope my answer will help you. Take care.

HI I have depression from last 5 year. I am not able to find a job for me. Whenever I feel that I should get a job and apply for it I feel stressed out and I never apply for it. I feel traped,low sad and in fear whenever I think of applying for a job and feel that its not possible for me to attend an interview. Also I have sleep problems. I hardly get any sleep at night. Its sleepless nights and in the early morning I get a sleep of 5-6 hours. For this I have consulted a doctor and he has given me depran forte at night and I am using it since last 3 years. I get sleep almost at 3a.m. at night and wake up at 12 a.m. In morning. I take medicine at night around 9 p.m. although I have taken this medicine for 3 years I have not been able to apply for job until now as I still feel fear and I feel I cannot do it. Why is that the case still when I am taking medicine from last 3 years. Help me on this please.
I guess the dose of medicine is not enough for you. I wonder why your doctor did not increase the dose. Also I prefer using Escitalopram and clonazepam as separate medicine not as combination like you are taking. Escitalopram is the main medicine which will help you to get rid of all depressive symptoms including decreased sleep, fatigue,low mood etc. clonazepam should be used for only initial phase of treatment when restoration of sleep and decreasing anxiety are preferred goals. Onces Escitalopram starts showing its effect. Clonazepam should be tapered and stopped. As long term use of clonazepam may decrease your thought process. Hope this would help you

Escitalopram is the main medicine which will help you to get rid of all depressive symptoms including decreased sleep, fatigue,low mood etc. clonazepam should be used for only initial phase of treatment when restoration of sleep and decreasing anxiety are preferred goals. Onces Escitalopram starts showing its effect. Clonazepam should be tapered and stopped. As long term use of clonazepam may decrease your thought process. Hope this would help you
i started having pain on lower side of right buttock about 2 wks ago. It is very uncomfortable to walk, sit. It feels like when u sit on a hard surface for a long period of time.. At times it throbs/pulsates and VERY painful, then just a constant uncomfortable pain. When I try to find the area that the pain is in, all I feel is the bone. It is hard to pinpoint exactly where it is.. I just need to see if I can get some answers or possiblities of what it might be... as a footnote, last August, they found a large mass in my left ovary, It was high risk of being cancerous at that time. When they removed it, I had abnormal cells, on the border.. the biopsy showed no cancer thank goodness... I do work 5 days a wk. standing and walking.... if you can help, i would appreciate it. thank you. Lynda

I found a hard peanut shaped lump on my bikini area on the left side. There is no raised point and it doesnt seem like an ingrown hair. It feels tender to the touch and has a general red appearence. I have tried squeezing it and it hurts too much. Any thoughts?
Welcome to ChatDoctorDont squeeze it. Mostly it is skin infection or hair follicle infection or rarely infection in lymph node. Any of the case you need antibiotics like Tablet Augmenting 625 mg twice a day for 5 days. Show it to a surgeon once to rule out abscess that is pus formation as it requires surgical Chat Doctor.

A friends family dog bit my daughters top lip today. It bled for less than a minute. I immeadiatly applied pressure with an ice pack and applied antibiotic ointment. It doesnt look deep at all. Lip is swollen. Dog is up to date on all vaccinations and rabies. Should I do something else?
Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor, Rabies is 100% fatal, but it is 100% preventable by proper and adequate treatment and this is transmitted by dog bite. As your daughter was bitten by a vaccinated dog over the lip which has led to bleeding from the site, according to WHO it is categorized into Cat III. Even it is a vaccinated dog you need to doubly check whether it is properly and completely vaccinated, because the bite is on the lip which is closer to the brain and the virus can ascend easily and reach the brain and can affect it. So I would suggest you to take 1. Active immunization with antirabies vaccine on days 0,3,7,14 and 28.2. Passive immunization with Rigs around the wound.3. Oral antibiotic like Tab Augmenting, twice daily4. Topical Tract ointment.Don't take any risk with this disease, I would suggest your daughter to take aforementioned treatment. Thank you.

Hi and welcome to Chat Doctor. Thank you for your query. I am Chat Doctor, I understand your concerns and I will try to help you as much as I can. Premature ejaculation is uncontrolled ejaculation either before or shortly after sexual penetration. It happens with minimal sexual stimulation and before the person wishes. Most cases of premature ejaculation do not have a clear cause. With sexual experience and age, men often learn to delay orgasm. Premature ejaculation may occur with a new partner. It may happen only in certain sexual situations or if it has been a long time since the last ejaculation. Psychological factors such as anxiety, guilt, or depression can also cause it. In some cases, it may be related to a medical cause such as hormonal problems, injury, or a side effect of certain medicines. I hope I have answered you query. If you have any further questions you can contact us in every time. Kindly regards. Wish you a good health.

Blood tests showing neutropenia and lymphopenia? Positive for Esptein-Barr virus at Igg but negative at Igm. Symptons started 6 months ago but just got blood tests back today, Symptons have included sore throat, reoccuring infections, body aches and pains, sharp pains in glands that come and go, headaches, dizzines, hot flushes, frequent urination, fatigue, uneasiness, anxiety.

Hello Shubham;welcome to ChatDoctorAcne are common for your age, and they increase with dirt;pollution, so first you need to clean your face with soap and water you can use Detail soap. Secondly you need to differentiate the pimples whether they are simple or big;pink and hard which are called acne rosette. If it is acne rosette then you can use ointment called Kremlin it is an ointment with antibiotic and will help treat it, but there is no complete cure as it will keep on coming till a certain age. As for food avoid excess oily and spicy food, and you should be fine. Thanks

Yes. Recently, Ive had 3 blood tests showing low WBCs and some other abnormal counts. I sometimes take pamabrom when I feel bloated. Could this cause leukopenia and neutropenia? Im also definitely iron-deficient/anemic and that is being treated. The low WBCs is still a mystery, though.
Hi, dear. I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. There are many causes of low WBC count. Even simple viral infection, typhoid, malaria can lead to low WBC count.

Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Wish you a very good health.

Hi.. my daughter is 6 months old I didn t introduce any solid food, only breastfeeding. I want to introduce her cerelac first.but I don t know which is best for her. Rice or wheat? And how many times in a day? If I give her one day cerelac, one day banana,potato, other day fruits and repeat this whole week, along with breast milk, so this will be OK for her?
Rice one first and just once. Gradually increase thickness and amount in 10-14 days time. Start next item from family food only. Initially only 2-3 spoons on day one. Go up to half bawl by 10 -14 days. See baby enjoys taste and its getting digested. Keep adding family foods At one year you and your daughter should be eating almost same diet.

Hi doctor I have lost a stone in weight over the last month, last time I had any form of sex was around 8 months ago. Pregnancy test revealed i wasnt pregnant sfter doing snout 10 of them When I eat little my stomach feels full and is extremely bloated , constant aching stomach until I lay down. What could this possibly be
It sounds like stomach issue. All this is caused by high acid secretion which is found in gastritis, HERD or hiatus hernia. These disorders can cause such difficulties, and you should do gastrostomy to evaluate this. Symptoms that are experienced in such conditions are pain and tightness in upper stomach, bloating, breathing difficulties, heartburn, feeling of lump and sore in throat, gurgling sound in throat, fatigue and loss of appetite. Symptoms are aggravated after meal, long sitting, leaning forward, stress and anxiety. In the beginning this is treated by changing dietary habits. You should avoid alcohol, coffee,smoking, fats and fast food, carbonated Chat Doctor. 1 hour after meal you should not sit or lay. Also lay with elevated upper body. If you are overweight you should do often exercise if overweight. Wish you good health.

My mom recently fell hard, hit her head and received 2 staples. The CT head/brain without contrast reads...Moderate white matter hypodensities are seen in the deep, periventricular and subcortical white matter with volume loss and old lacunar type infarcts in the basal ganglia. There is mild global volume loss. Chronic microangiopathic changes in the old lacunar type infarcts and mild global volume loss.
Hello, In relation to the fall that she took the CT scan doesn't show any damage due to the hit, none of those findings are related to the trauma, they were already present before she fell and hit her head. The findings are due to chronic changes in the brain matter and its blood vessels. Chronic microangiopathic changes are changes to the small blood vessels. To a point, they are genetically determined and are found in many people as they age. They are accelerated by factors affecting blood vessels such as high blood pressure, diabetes, smoking, high cholesterol etcetera. So the only thing that can be done to slow down this process is checking for the presence of those factors and ad Chat Doctor. As for the mild volume loss that means the mild shrinking of the brain. Again that is part of aging, all of us start to lose brain cells after our thirties, so as we age volume loss accumulates. So that finding depends a little on her age which you do not mention, the older she is, the more such volume loss is expected. The report speaks of mild volume loss so no reason for major concern on that regard, the blood vessel changes which I add

I have a lump or thickening in my labia majora, on the left side about level with the clitoris. It s a painful lump but seems deep in the skin, not like a cyst or a surface pimple or anything. I can t see a doctor until at least next week but maybe you can help reassure me that it might be a benign condition. It s not near the bartholin s gland.
Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor, A painful lump on the labia major could be due to boil, folliculitis etc. A clinical assessment of the lesion is required. In case the swelling is due to infectious cause, hot fomentation and antibiotic will be required to relieve the swelling. Thanks and take care Chat Doctor.

yes. im on clomid month 2 and last month by CD 10 i had a 13 mm dominant follice which matured and i ovulated. this month however its cycle day 11 and i dont have any dominant follices yet. is this normal for clomid and can i still hope to have ovulation this month? im 30
Hi, I think it can happen in some cycles. Sometimes follicle doesn't grow at a normal speed. So continue the scan at intervals of 2 to 3 days. If follicle doesn't grow to 17 mm by day 21, it is rare to ovulate this cycle. Hope I have answered your question. Regards

About 2 weeks ago, the gums at the back of my teeth is really swollen. It doesn t hurt, but it s uncomfortable. Recently, about a few days ago, a teeth is starting to appear at the back, right at the swollen part. The swollen gums are not so swollen now, but it s a little bit swollen. Today, the swollen part is tearing away. The rest of the gums are still intact, but the swollen part seems to be peeling away from my teeth. Is it normal?
