<s>[INST] Q. My friend had a spinal injury and walked after that, but passed away after two days. Why? [/INST] Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. 1. Yes, the fall seems to be the cause of the fractured neck and the damage to his spinal cord (attachment removed to protect patient identity). 2. Nothing would have changed if you found him one or two hours before. 3. I think that the fall caused the vertebral column fracture. Then, during transport to the hospital, the instability of the vertebral column has to lead to compression of the spinal cord, probably due to a wrong posture. 4. As he had tingling in his legs and could not feel them, these are signs of a spinal cord injury, probably in the posterior part where the sensory columns lay. A person with partial spinal cord damage can walk if the motor pathways in the anterior spinal cord are not damaged. But there is no way to know if he had broken his neck because he had no neck pain. So, it seems that this was a fatal injury. He should not have walked, but even if this did not happen, I am not sure if he could survive. You should know that the most important thing after a spinal cord injury is the swelling of the spinal cord, which increases in size in the next days. That is why his situation worsened the following days. You should know that the respiratory heart nerve pathways and lay on the cervical spinal cord. So, probably as the spinal cord has been swelling in the next days, it has affected this area, causing his death. There is no way to predict that if something changed in the management of the situation, it would make him live. This is because cervical spinal cord injuries have a high mortality rate and poor outcome. I hope you will find this information helpful. If you have any other questions, please do not hesitate to ask me again. </s> |

<s>[INST] Q. I sleep for about 11-13 hours a day. How to control this? [/INST] Hello. What you are describing is a common sleep disorder known as delayed sleep phase syndrome. It is a disorder of the body clock. This clock is tuned by bright light and blue light. Chronotherapy: Sleep in a room where the sunlight will bathe your eyes in morning, even during sleep. Once awake, spend your first hour in the sun, either having tea, or reading newspaper or jogging. In short, increase the exposure to sunlight in the morning, both when you are asleep as well as awake. Do not sleep in the day at any cost. At night time, reduce your exposure to blue light emitted by TV screens, laptop, phones, etc., by 1) Minimize the usage at night. 2) Install blue light filter or flux applications in your devices. You can also use amber-colored goggles when watching TV or using a laptop, etc. 3) Have curd or a diary product at night. 4) Go to bed at the intended time, make your room completely dark, do not use the night lamp even. Use a band to cover your eyes when on the bed. Do not use your phone while on the bed. If these measures are not helpful, take Melatonin supplements like tablet Meloset 3 mg one hour before the intended time to sleep and hit the bed at the intended time to sleep. Another option if you are fine with taking medicines, is tablet Agomelatine. It makes falling asleep easy and makes you awake and alert in the day. It also has mood-enhancing property. These measures will reset your body clock and solve your sleep issue. I hope this helps. </s> |

<s>[INST] Suggest remedy and precautions for hepatitis b [/INST] Hello and welcome to HCM!To summarize it briefly: you are amongst those persons who, when contacting hepatitis B virus, cannot get rid of it. Almost 10-15% of all persons contacting hepatitis B virus can not eradicate it and become the so-called "a Hepatitis B carrier". There are two types of hepatitis B chronic carriers: active carrier and passive carrier. An active carrier is a person infected with hepatitis B and that shows signs and symptoms of the disease. A passive carrier is a person who has the disease in its body but it doesn't manifest any signs and/or symptoms. Since you report that you did several test back in 2011, and you are feeling perfectly healthy, then I guess that you are a passive carrier of hepatitis B and probably you will continue to have this status for the rest of your life if you do not engage in excessive unhealthy behaviors such excessive alcohol intake, etc. Unfortunately, there is no ultimate cure for chronic B hepatitis. You can try with interferon therapy, but this is expensive and in a good proportion of cases it can only achieve a lowering of the titer of HBsAg surface antigen without eradicating it. On the other hand, treatment of hepatitis B with interferon or other anti-viral drugs is advised only if there are signs of liver damage but this is not your case. Vaccinating against hepatitis B at this stage is of little benefit as well, even though it is not harmful.However, please not that you can pass the infection to other people through unprotected sexual intercourse or if your blood comes in contact to that of other people. Therefore, you can not donate blood anymore. Therefore, my advice would be: do not engage in unhealthy behaviors such as excessive alcohol intake, in order to not "wake-up" the silent disease. If you are careful then you can live a perfectly healthy life. Lastly, carriers of hepatitis B need to measure the levels of liver enzymes such as ALT and AST periodically in order to monitor its function.I hope I have answered your concern! Best! </s> |

<s>[INST] What causes high sugar and protein in the urine while on Percocet? [/INST] Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.Percocet tablets are unlikely to cause any "leakage" of protein or sugar in urine. This happens particularly if you have developed high blood glucose, (above 180 mg) then only glucose is excreted in the urine by kidneys. This is a sign of developing diabetes. As regards protein in urine, normally no proteins are excreted. That is a sign of some problem with kidney function. It can happen in various conditions including diabetes. So it is essential to get your blood glucose tested (fasting, PP, and HbA1c%) also kidney function test done. That will clarify the reasons.Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.Regards,Dr. Prabhakar Laxman Jathar </s> |

<s>[INST] Q. Can high BP with migraine cause stroke? [/INST] Hello. I would largely comment from cardiac point of view. So overall, other than BP, your cardiac status is normal. Your heart function is normal and no RWMA, your blood vessels were clean on CT coronary angiography (attachment removed to protect patient identity). So, I do not think there is anything to worry from cardiac perspective. Regarding chest pain, if BP is elevated then it can cause some strain over the heart and cause chest pain. But it would be limited to time during which BP is elevated. Now considering that you did not have any chest pain during stress test and BP was elevated during stress test, pain is probably unrelated to BP or heart. If you are having any ventricular ectopics or extra beats then it can cause some dull ache in chest. Now other aspect is BP. You have tendency for BP elevation due to your genetic make up which is part of PCOS, etc. How much do you weigh? Also, your psychological issues tend to worsen BP. BP may rise during exercising and considering your high BP tendency, it may excessively rise during exercising. Other factors which can worsen BP is stress, high salt intake like pickles, NSAIDS like Brufen or other pain killers, migraine medicines or even any pain can worsen BP. So, avoid pain killers other than Paracetamol or Tramadol, plenty of fruits, have low salt diet, regular exercises, try to keep weight under control. If BP elevates then you may have an additional dose of Telmisartan. Maximum you may up-to 80 mg in a day. Also, while taking BP readings, you should keep your arm relaxed, take 2-3 readings at a time and take BP after rest of 5-10 min. If BP is rising persistently in the evening then additional dose of Telmisartan may be added in the afternoon 2 hours before the expected BP rise. Your average in last abpm was fine and occasional high readings are not worrisome. Regarding inflammation, best way to settle inflammation is healthy lifestyle like avoiding fatty oily and high calorie diet. Having regular exercises like brisk walking or running according to capacity. Also, you should get your lipid profile done and statins like Rosuvastatin prescribed to settle this inflammation. Dinner should be light. Now, regarding your stroke risk, it is better to get a neurologist opinion. The changes may be related to inadequate BP in the past, but you should also obtain carotid artery Doppler for source of emboli. Also, transesophageal echo should be obtained to rule out possibility of patent formanen ovale as a source of emboli. </s> |

<s>[INST] Suggest remedy for fever and runny nose in infants [/INST] Hello,From the information you provided, I think that these are signs and symptoms of a common viral infection. Rash could be due to fever.Therefore, please do the following to manage the condition of your infant:- Apply physiological isotonic water to your infants' nose (to each nostril) for 2-3 times a day. This simple and cheap procedure will improve her nose condition and will ease nose blockage by secretions.- If your infant is 3-6 months old, apply paracetamol, 10-15 mg/kg/dose every 4-6 hours. If your infant weight 10 kg, then you can give between 100-150 mg of paracetamol every 4-6 hours.- If your infant is more than 6 months old, paracetamol could be alternated with ibuprofen in order to dominate fever. Ibuprofen is given 4-10 mg/kg/dose every 6-8 hours. If your baby weights 10 kg, then you have to give between 40-100 mg of ibuprofen every 6-8 hours.- Keep your baby well hydrated and fed (liquid food).Please monitor your baby for another 2-3 days (usually viral infections last for 7-10 days) and if the condition does not improve, fever is not dominated or there are signs of laryngitis (dry cough, difficulty in breathing), severe and prolonged crying, difficulty to sleep, et cetera, then you have to consult your pediatrician for further care.Hope I have answered your query.

<s>[INST] What causes extremely vivid dreams which seem real ? How can these dreams be prevented ? [/INST] Exact reason for Why we dreams is still unknown, but frequent & extremely vivid dreams can be manifestation underlying psychological turmoil. Many psychiatric illness can have early manifestation of extremely vivid dreams of fearful or strange nature. Depression, Anxiety, Primary sleep disorders etc. are major psychiatric illness presenting most of the time with vivid dreams only. It can be due to side effect of many over the counter medication used for different reason. Improper use of sedatives & hypnotics now easily available OTC for minor sleep problems, are most common cause for vivid dreams in my opinion. Among the sedatives short term use and sudden withdrawal of alprazolam is most notorious for causing disturbances in dreaming processes. There is no need to prevent dreams at all.

<s>[INST] Q. Why am I having gum bleeding when hot or cold water hits my teeth? [/INST] Hi. I have gone through your query. You have mentioned two situations and let me cover one by one. Firstly, bleeding gums. This is due to inflamed (simply, swollen) gums. The most probable cause is calculus (hard deposits) and plaque (soft deposits) irritating your gums. The treatment for this is to get a professional cleaning (scaling) done by a dentist. You can do lukewarm salt water gargling to give some relief to the gums. Mouthwash (preferably, Chlorhexidine) can be used but use it after diluting it with water and once or twice daily till the gum condition is very severe. After that, you can continue just lukewarm salt water gargling, as Chlorhexidine can cause teeth discoloration. Next, pain in the molar. This can be due to deep caries (cavity) or an impacted tooth, or simply because of the inflammation of the gums covering the partially erupted tooth (pericoronitis), or some other cause. This can be confirmed only after examination. Kindly send a picture of the affected tooth to guide you with a provisional diagnosis. X-ray (IOPA or OPG) and clinical examination will be required for final diagnosis. The treatment will depend upon the condition or diagnosis. It can either go for root canal treatment or filling or removal or just scaling might be enough. Do you have any difficulty in mouth opening, pain during sleep, any swelling, fever, pus discharge, lymphadenopathy (swollen lymph node below the angle of jaw), sinusitis, or any other symptoms or problems? Do you smoke or consume tobacco? If yes, try to avoid it slowly and get rid of it as these can also cause gum inflammation, destruction of tooth-supporting structures and bone loss, in turn leading to tooth mobility and tooth loss, and cavities too, and other mouth problems. Take care. For more information consult a dentist online --> </s> |

<s>[INST] Q. I am having allergy for onion and finding difficult to quit onion. What should I do? [/INST] Hello. From your allergy report, it is obvious that you are allergic to onion. The value of 0.69 suggests mild allergy. Still, you can not guarantee that after exposure, a severe reaction can not occur. A positive allergy test indicates sensitization to an allergen but does not necessarily predict that a clinically relevant allergic reaction will occur. The best way to treat allergy is to avoid the trigger, but it is very difficult, especially in Indian recipes. First, find out if cooked onion causes less symptoms than the raw one because the allergic trigger is protein present in raw onion. So after cooking, it gets denatured and can not cause allergic symptoms. Over counter tablets like Levocetirizine, Desloratadine, or Rupatadine will alleviate allergic symptoms like itching and redness. Antacids will help to relieve acidity, specially liquid antacids than tablets. So prevention is the key messege. Even if it is said that food does not contain onion, the flavouring agents, sauces or many toppings contain it and cause an allergic reaction. Even other food from the same family can sometimes cause allergy like garlic, carrot, etc. It is the matter of just trial and error as per your tolerance. </s> |
