<s>[INST] Biting lips, lips look white in color, bad odor in mouth. Causes and treatment? [/INST] Hi, Thanks for posting at HealthcareMagic. Biting lips can be due to 2 reasons: -Malpositioning of teeth ie: teeth are out and thus you end up biting your teeth. -Habit If its the first case then i think you must visit an orthodontist (for Braces), so that he can treat the root cause of your problem. If its a habit then its good that you have stopped it on your own. About the white lips, if there is any deposite which is white in colour or patchy discolouration then you may have developed a fungal infection called candidiasis/oral thrush for which you need to put antifungal ointments on the area locally. If the lips have become pale, then you need to visit your physician for a blood test to check your hemoglobin. If the iron content of your body is low (anemia) then that can cause pale lips which needs to be treated. Check for more white patches in your mouth, if present then that may cause bad breath but usually bad breath is because of deposits on the teeth for which a clean up(scaling and polishing) is required. For the above mentioned problems i would recommend you to visit a dentist. Regards </s> |

<s>[INST] What causes blood clots in brain with positive result for barr virus? [/INST] Hi, Hypercoagulable state is a condition which commonly comes about because of infectious states, dehydration, and other metabolic disorders. The blood clots are referred to as sinus venous thrombosis or venous thrombosis and they are in the venous circulation of her body...which is not a bad thing compared to if they would be on the arterial side in which case she may have suffered acute strokes....not to minimize the gravity of the current situation....she's got a bit of work to do to get normal....but she's not lost any neurological function due to the clots....just slowed her down...and giving her some mild headaches, I'm sure. Since your daughter has been diagnosed with EBV...then, that is likely the most plausible explanation for her blood clots, severe headaches, cloudy thinking, etc. The good news is that she'll get better...she's on an oral anticoagulant though current guidelines actually recommend she NOT be given orals. If she's converted to warfarin then, I'd ask the doctor if he'd consider something instead like Eliquis (newer version of warfarin such that no INR testing is really needed, less bleeding complications overall). I'm not sure why they chose oxycodone for headaches. CVT headaches have been shown to have pathophysiology very similar to migraine and they do respond to standard migraine regimens. She may benefit from IV DHE (dihydroergotamine) or triptans even though she can't take the medication continuously. Now, if they keep giving her the opiate drugs....I'm afraid she might run into some medication rebound or overuse syndrome which will give her even more headaches. You may find better medication choices for the headaches from a headache specialist. I am not sure what the hematologist move is going to accomplish. Her status of resolution will be dependent upon how quickly the venous clots come down. Other details have to be explained to your future for the future and another blood testing should be done now that this has happened. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Regards, Dr. Dariush Saghafi, Neurologist </s> |

<s>[INST] Q. Can Yasmin birth control pill be used as an emergency contraceptive pill? [/INST] Hi. How are you doing? Yes, as you have heard, Yasmin can be used as an emergency pill. Even if you have not ejaculated into her, she stands a chance of pregnancy if the pre-seminal fluid, the clear fluid that comes out before semen, which is rich in young healthy sperms, comes in contact with her genitals. As soon as possible, earlier the better, I suggest taking four tablets of Yasmin (combination of Ethinyl Estradiol and Drospirenone) at the time, repeat four more tablets after 12 hours. This being a high dose of hormones, it will suddenly increase the inner lining of the uterus. Then as it is a single dose, the inner lining will fall off. This makes it unfavorable for the possible embryo or baby to settle into the uterus. She will get her periods within 7 to 10 days of the last pill. But do not keep repeating this frequently, it can disturb the hormonal balance and can reduce the effectiveness of the pill. Consult your specialist doctor, discuss with him or her and start taking the medicines after their consent. This is an old method, but it is an effective emergency method. Just do not delay the pills. As time passes by, the effectiveness reduces. Hope I have clarified your query, do write back. All the best. For further queries consult an obstetrician and gynaecologist online --> </s> |

<s>[INST] How to treat bone marrow edema and calcification on the high cervical spine?

The surgeon who tells you that you have one of the most complicated anatomies, would send you to a sub-specialist. This sub-specialist is doing the right thing by telling you that someone else is better suited in your case. I suppose, I'd be worried if it were your brain surgeon doing the operation. But since it's not the case, I would not worry about his opinion at this point. With respect to any future surgery, just wait to see what the sub-specialist says in the future. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. </s> |
<s>[INST] What causes an unusual sensation in the mid-chest while on Prilosec? [/INST] Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice. Prilosec is having pantoprazole. It is antacid in nature. Since your symptoms (central chest discomfort) appeared after stopping prilosec, possibility of GERD is more likely. No need to worry for heart attack. GERD is gastroesophageal reflux disease. It is due to laxity of gastroesophageal sphincter. Because of this, the acid of the stomach tends to come up in the esophagus and cause central chest discomfort. So follow these steps for better symptomatic relief in GERD. 1. Take pantoprazole and levosulperide combination on empty stomach twice daily. 2. Avoid hot and spicy food. Avoid junk food. Avoid large meals, instead take frequent small meals. 3. Go for walking after meals. 4. Quit smoking and alcohol if you have these habits. 5. Keep 2-3 pillows under head in bed to prevent reflux. Don't worry, you will be alright with all these lifestyle modifications. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. </s> |
