ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | I have a lump on my jaw bone on one side near where my jaw and neck meet and it is a little bit painful when i press my chin to my chest or when i put pressure on the area (the jaw strap of my helmet hurts to wear sometimes). What are some possible explanations? | Hi. Welcome to Chat Doctor. I read your query. What is the duration of the existence of this lump? Has it happened before? Check for any cavity in corresponding tooth in lower jaw. If there is, then you may have space infection due to tooth. If there is Chat Doctor. Or it can be some swollen lymph nodes as well. Visit a dentist and get it checked for appearance, consistency, texture, etc. Proper oral check, history, radiographs are required to establish a diagnosis. In any case swelling below jaw should not be ignored as they tend to spread fast posing a threat to wind pipe. I suggest you see a dentist and get it treated. Hope the answer helps you. Thank you! |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | I woke up with a small circular rash looking area on my lower back toward my right side. Laterally elongated characterized by small raised red bumbs. Slight burning sensation occurs when rubbed otherwise no discomfort accomponies. Wondering what it might be and what might have caused it. | Hello. Thank you for writing to USI will keep a most likely possibility of Tina/Fungal Infection. Patches of tines classically present as annular or circular lesions, which may be composed of red, raised bumps forming a raised margin with central clearing. The patches may grow bigger as they expand peripherally. Itching and burning are a feature of fungal infection. A KOH preparation made from the scale can be scanned under the microscope to look for fungal elements. That would be confirmatory. I suggest you to try an OTC topical antifungal e.g. clotrimazole 1% cream, twice daily for 2-4 weeks. An OTC oral antihistamine e.g. cetirizine 10 mg once daily will provide you symptomatic relief from itching and burning sensation. If the lesion does not respond as expected you must review with a dermatologist. Regards |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | My son-in-law has a viral infection in the lungs, which triggered an astma attack which the Dr thought had triggered a mild heart attack. Now they say he didnt have a mild heart attack. He is now running a fever and is on antibiotics and it doesnt seem to go away. What would be the cause of this? | Hi. I am glad we connected. Based on the symptoms you have mentioned, it sounds like your son-in-law may have had viral CARITIG. This is when a viral infection causes antibodies to be formed against the cardiac muscles or against the virus in the heart. One may also develop antibodies which attack the virus and the cardiac muscle. Depending on the severity, the treatment may range from plasmapheresis, steroids, or immune suppression. It would be best to confirm the exact treatment with your doctor or immunologist. Please reach out if you have any other questions. All the best. |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | Do I have anxiety?! I am a 17 year old female in Grade 12, about to graduate this year. I started getting these feelings in grade 11- around the end of the year. I felt as if my confidence had completely been wiped out. I used to be an outgoing person, I loved to be outside, I loved to do things with my friends, and family. I loved to be around people. I feel these feelings started after I was kicked out of my house. I had moved in with some friends and my boyfriend. I felt depressed for a little while after that; I then felt like uneasyness around other people. I thought maybe it was just because I was around people I didnt really know, or thought were familiar. I feel its been getting worse---over moderation. It comes for a little while, then dies off... and I feel normal, but I somehow I think of that feeling again, and I know its lurking.. and it will be back. I feel uneasy around people, I cant look some people in the eyes; for a long time, its even hard sometimes for a short amount of time. I feel so judged by other people, and Its like im scared what people think of me, or what they say. I twitch sometimes, I feel really uneasy when people look at me, or stare at me. I also get shakes sometimes, I feel cold . I walk around a feel a skip in my steps, and I feel like my legs arent a part of me. I just feel so awkward and out of place, I don t know what to do; I know I should go to the doctor---- but please someone tell me what I should say or do? can anyone answer me please. I know for a fact that I am not crazy. I need some hope. the only person I can feel normal around is my boyfriend, but lately I have been getting the feelings AROUND HIM! AND I hate it, because right now I feel he is all I have.. SOMEONE ANSWER PLEASE! | Degree understand your concerns went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. For other people, you may sound crazy, but for us, you are perfect. You are a teenager. You have some developmental tasks such as role identification, which is a bit confusing. Conflicting. Don't worry. Every teenager goes through these paths. You are just disappointed with your current life. Avoiding others and avoiding going between people, are behavior which are part of these conflicts. Don't misunderstand. Forget and ignore these problems and concentrate on your studies and career. In case if you need more explanation in this regard, please post a direct query to me in this website. I am happy to explain. Hope this answers your concerns. Good luck. |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | I have had low back pain for a couple of years now. I have had injections , physical therapy and a tens unit at home. Nothing has worked. Sometimes the pain will go into my hips and legs. It has gotten to the point that I can stand at my sink for more than five minutes to wash dishes. I am only 39. My MRI reads: The alignment is normal. Vertebral body marrow signal is benign throughout. There is a small Schmorl node type superior endplate defect at L2 centrally and a similar slightly smaller lesion at L3. The lesion at L2 has signal which suggests it may be relatively recent. T12-L1: tiny left paracentral disc protrusion minimally indenting the thecal sac without significant canal or foraminal stenosis . L5-S1: small central disc protrusion just abutting the ventral thecal sac without significant associated canal or foraminal stenosis. Can someone please explain some of this and what other options are there? | HAI, Thanks for writing in. Schools node are nothing but disc protrusions inside your vertebral bodies. They are benign and usually don't cause any problems. After reading your MRI it seems there doesn't seems to be any significant findings. Small / tiny disc protrusions might be present for all individuals. Since there is no canal or foraminal stenosis, the pain is not a neurogenic / isogenic pain. Your MRI also didn't comment anything abnormal in your sacroiliac joints. Sometimes spondylosis at L5/S1 or any other levels can be missed by MRI. After a thorough clinical examination, you might need to undergo stress views of your spine +/- CT at the levels to rule-out any instability of segment or spondylosis. Till that time you can wear lumbosacral belt, back strengthening exercises, lying on hard bed etc. Avoid leaning forward, sitting /standing in same posture for longer periods, lifting heavy weights.

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | Hi. I had a urinalysis yesterday with no infection but some blood in my urine. I had stabbing pain yesteday on my right side on back that eventually went away. The walkin clinic gave me Levaquin 750 that I started yesterday. Also, Tramadol for pain. I had Pyelneohritis 3 years ago due to my right ureter being completely blocked. I had a cystoscopy with ureteroscopy then and they put a temporary stent in for 10 days. I have had no problems until now. Not sure if pyelonephritis or passing a kidney stone. Not sure what to do now. I currently dont have health insurance, so I havent been to the ER or a doctor yet. Please advise. Thank you | Hi. Thanks for using Chat Doctor.you have the past history of pyelonephritis which was treated with stent.now you have intense pain in the back, and hematuria followed by this.severe pain goes in favor of renal stone, and probably you have passed it, causing excoriation in the ureter which caused the hematuria...you need to undergo certain tests to rule out the pyelonephritis. Urine examination, ultrasound examination, ureteroscopy(recurrence).see your urologist for this.all the very best. |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | I had a kidney transplant on Aug 12; my son gave me one of his kidneys. My creatinine went from .89 o 1.07 in just 5 days. I go for labs every Mon and Thurs, so I just had more labs done today. I am anxious to see what my latest creatinine is from today. Is there a reason for concern at this point? I do not know what my GFR is; for whatever reason, they don t test for that. | Hi, Thanks for writing in. A creatinine level from 0.89 to 1.07 is acceptable after 5 days following renal transplant surgery. This is a minimal elevation and within normal range. As long the serum creatinine is in the normal range of 1.4 it does not cause any worries. This indicates that your kidney is able to filter out the toxins in expected amount and the blood is getting filtered. The GFR is calculated using a formula, and you might contact your lab and doctor to exactly know the GFR right now. Please maintain a chart of the creatinine level and this will help notice any abnormal value and guide you through detailed investigation. Please do not worry. |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | Hi I am 22 weeks pregnant and i have little wheezing and shortness of breath while sleeping.there is also pain in my chest and back while breathing.I was admitted to the hospital of asthma attack last month with 17 weeks of pregnancy.it was cured then but it seems has attacked once again.doctor has prescibed me the same medication of Augmentin,Wysolene and nebulisation.Will i get relief | Hi, Yes definitely these will help in relief from the asthma attack. Nebulization will relieve the symptoms, Alone will decrease the inflammation and allergic response and Augmenting will prevent any secondary bacterial infection from occurring. I would advise you not to take Augmenting but rather another antibacterial such as Azithromycin or Clindamycin, this is because Augmenting can rarely cause fetal developmental issues when given in pregnancy. Some studies have shown it to cause cerebral palsy in child Chat Doctor. So please discuss this with your doctor before taking Augmenting. It is very important that you control asthma in pregnancy, as uncontrolled asthma can have a lot of negative impact on pregnancy. Asthma usually improves in third trimester. Hope this helps.

Your metabolism is slowing down and there is a lack of energy for the limb. Keeping on the pillow might help on a symptomatic basis.

Good morning. I am Chat Doctor. A pain of the intensity you have described on the right side upper abdomen and under the ribs could be due some pathological process in the hepatobiliary system. If I were your doctor, after a clinical examination I would advise you for an ultrasound of abdomen to rule out a gallstone cholecystitis, or an inflammation in the liver. Further management would depend on the clinical findings, and reports of the investigations. As your pain is high in intensity, I would suggest you to go the ER of the nearest hospital to get assessed and proper immediate management of your pain. Any elective procedure could be done after you get through your insurance papers and depends on your doctors' advice as well. I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts.

Its fine when I sit but when I walk or lay it begins to cause discomfort. Apart from the aching in the hip area there is also some lower back pain (right buttock) and a dull ache into my groin, almost like its numb and just recently the inner thigh muscle has started to twitch. When I walk I will sometimes limp - seems like the longer i walk for the better it feels but the main issue is laying down - I was up most of last night as I couldnt sleep due to discomfort - mainly a pain in my lower back above right buttock. The best position I found was to sleep on my right with my pelvis chest and head in line and legs bent at knee. If I attempt to sleep on my back my lower back aches and if I sleep on my left it seems like the weight of my leg pulls the hip muscles and causes discomfort from right hip area spreading to my lower back.

If high fever is there then a higher dose of Paracetamol (Solo 650) may be needed. What is the weight of the patient? Dose can be 10 -20 mg per kg per dose for 4 times a day with a maximum of 4 g in 24 hours. Following a single dose, one may not see sudden reduction in fever. Plus even if fever does come down on taking adequate dose of paracetamol, there is always a possibility of fever coming back after about 5 to 6 hours as the blood levels of the Chat Doctor. That is why dosage is advised every 6 hours initially. The antibiotic given helps to treat and remove the cause (infection) for the fever. So in that case to a single dose is not going to be helpful. A minimum of few doses of antibiotic (2 to 3 days, 625 mg three times a day) has to be given. To help a better recovery give a good deal of fluids along with normal food.

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | Hi. I will start with the fact that i had the mirena iud incerted feb 2011. A few momths later developed anxiety. Was prescribed prozac and anxiety attacks begab immediately. Suffered through that for a little over a year before finally requesting to be taken off. Ive been off for a few momths and had mirena removed last feb. I have had 2 periods since which were not normal. Pretty much three weeks of random spotting with each period. For the last week i have been experiencing nausea, a burning sensation in my stomach, lightheadedness and a low grade annxiety. I started spotting yesterday a brown discharge and then this morning a little of red but mostly just comes when using the bathroom. Took a pregnancy test a few days ago and came out negative. My question is whether this all sounds like side effects from mirena and post removal? Could it be a stimach ulcer? A combo of several thing? | Hello, thanks for the query. IUD removed, and that chapter closed now. Now we are talking about your problems that nausea, burning sensation in stomach, anxiety. Blood spotting is normal so don't think about that. This is the nature of an individual that how he or she reacts to things around him. Over reaction to surrounding is a form of anxiety and that is in your case. When IUD was inserted from day first you were not feeling comfortable with it and that was an anxiety. IUD removed and still you didn't come out from that dilemma and that is anxiety. Due to anxiety you are feeling hyper acidity (gastritis) like symptoms. So control yourself, if not, than consult a psychiatrist and take TT. You will be right within a short period. Regard |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | Hi, i was just wondering i take a tri-sprintec birth control ive been on it for about 2 years but i recently just ovulated i dont take my pills at the same time everyday sometimes i have to take more than 1...i recently just started taking it at the same time everyday could that cause ovulation? I also took a test and it came back negative | Hello misunderstand your concerned TRI sprinter birth control is pill is safe and effective to prevent the pregnancy. It should be taken regularly on the same time every day. As you started regularly recently it prevents the ovulation and prevent the pregnancy. Please make the habit to take it regularly by putting reminder in the mobile on same time. It failure rate is 1-2 percent. You should worry about pregnancy if your period will delay by 8-10 days from normal expected period date. So repeat the pregnancy test 8-10 days after missed period to clear your doubt regarding pregnancy. Hope this may help you Best regards |

I suggest you not to worry much. The skin area beneath your foreskin is very sensitive. It could get agitated if you try too much to get accustomed to it. Using rough towels and other things to rub over it could be painful and could bring blood out. You don't have to do that. Instead, use some oil to apply over that area, and you can massage slowly to get it desensitized. But remember, the area is kept sensitive to make sex more pleasurable. Leave it as it is. Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications. Good luck. |

I can understand your concern. No, chest pulsation and fungal ear infection are not connected. But better to rule out any cardiac cause for chest pulsation. So get done ECG and 2d echo. If both are normal then no need to worry about heart diseases. Most common cause for chest pulsation is stress and anxiety. So avoid stress and tension, be relaxed and calm.Don't worry, you will be alright. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks. |

The terms: 1) chronic microvascular ischemia ; 2) mild right temporal lobe infarct ; 3) mild brain atrophy . I m 70 years old; are these conditions just normal aging, or something I should be more concerned about? | Hi, Thank you for posting your query. I have noted your symptoms. First, I would like to reassure you that there is no need to worry, as the MRI does not suggest any serious brain disease. MRI is suggestive of decreased blood supply to brain (ischemia and infarct). This could be related to migraine, however, we need to exclude risk factors such as diabetes, high BP and cholesterol. It may be useful to take aspirin tablets. I hope my answer helps.

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | Hi i have two polyps in my gallbladder, one is 4mm and the other is 3mm. these polyps were detected through ultra sonogram of my whole abdomen. i feel some sort of pain in my right abdomen near the gallbladder. the report also revealed mild fatty liver. i would be happy if you tell me what to do now. | Brief Answer:You should establish a follow-up plan with your GI doctor. These polyps should be followed-up using standard abdominal ultrasound or endoscopic ultrasound. Detailed Answer:Hello, Thank you for using Chat Doctor.First, is a good think that your polyp size is small, because even though in 95 % of the cases the polyps are benign, there are rare cases of cancerous polyps. The size of a gallbladder polyp can help predict whether its cancerous (malignant) or noncancerous (benign). Small gallbladder polyps that are less than 10 millimeters in diameter, as in your case, are unlikely to be cancerous and generally don't require treatment. However, these polyps should be followed-up using standard abdominal ultrasound or endoscopic ultrasound, to look for changes that may be an indication of cancer. In most of the cases they are asymptomatic and are often detected incidentally. However, as in your case, the polyps may cause occasionally pain in the right abdomen, due to intermittent obstructions caused by small fragments of cholesterol that become detached from the gallbladder mucosa. So how to deal with these polyps ? See a gastroenterologist and make a follow-up plan. In case of repeated pain, consider cholecystectomy. In this way you avoid either long term surveillance of the polyps. Hope this is helpful. Let me know if you need more clarifications. Otherwise, please close and rate the answer. Kind |

Kindly suggest. | Hi there ~ It is not uncommon to experience anger and physical aggression in psychiatric disorders. Your husband seems to be having problems with mania which is common is bipolar disorder. I am thinking that your husband gradually got worse over time and assuming this, it is easier to put someone on medications and try to wait and watch for results. However, symptomatic treatment is recommended in acute and subacute cases and anger management or sleep management might be of initial use before going on to titrate the dose of the mood stabilizer, in this case Trip MT. It may also help to seek the expert advise of a psychiatrist regarding medication changes and a counselor to help with any stressors/family problems. I hope this helped. Take care. |

Notes given regarding this test are this is a chemiluminescent enzyme (CLIA) for simultaneous qualitative detection of antibodies to HIV 1 and 2. A negative result does not exclude the possibility of exposure to or infection with HIV 1 and 2. A positive result is not a diagnosis of AIDS. Supplemental testing such as immunoblot should be done for confirmation. Specimens containing mouse monoclonal antibodies or heterophile antibodies can give falsely elevated or depressed values. | Hi. In CLIA (Clinical Laboratory Improvement Assessment) test result, a value greater than 1 is considered reactive (positive). Your result is 0.03, which is less than 1. Hence, it is non-reactive (negative). In HIV (Human immunodeficiency virus) testing, it is very important to know how long it has been since your suspected exposure to infection.It can take up to 3 months from the time of exposure, for the virus to be detected in blood. If it has been more than 3 months since your suspected exposure, your result confirms that you do not have HIV infection. In case it is less than 3 months since suspected exposure, I advise you to repeat the test after 3 months of exposure. |

Since taking the shots she noticed blue/purple spots on her ankles.. it looks like a cluster of vericose veins. Her feet hurt all the time. What is causing this? | Dear friendvericose vein is the condition in which veins that have become enlarged and twisted. Veins have valves to prevent blood from flowing backwards. Leg muscles pump the veins to return blood to the heart against the effects of gravity. When the valves do not work (valvular incompetence), it causes blood to flow backwards and likewise enlarging and twisting the veins even more. This is the varicose vein. The related factors in the cause of varicose vein are prolonged standing, leg injury, abdominal straining etc. the blue/purple staining/spots you noticed on your mothers' ankle is due to varicose vein. Treatment of varicose vein are surgical, and non-surgical treatment includes elastic stockings, elevating the legs, and exercise and chemotherapy. So you should counsel your mother not to work on her feet as much as possible. Whenever possible elevate both legs, this will pump blood towards heart. Hope this answer will be helpful to you.

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | Hi, One of my friends have been diagnosed with Adenoid Cystic Carcinoma in the year of 2009 in his Nasal cavity and he went for a major surgery and 80% of his Nasal has been removed. No Radiation & No Chemo Given after surgery. Periodic checkup was done on every 6 months. After 3 years on November recurrence was found on his right eye canthus later after biopsy doc confirmed it Adenoid Cystic Carcinoma. We have consulted the major hospitals in India and he was suggested to go for a major surgery which is opening the skull and there is no guarantee for his eye . So we have been gone through most of the alternate treatments like ayurveda, siddha and chemo and nothing has worked for him. Can you please let me know if there is any possibility to cure his tumor without loosing his eye. Regards Paul YYYY@YYYY | Hi, Thanks for writing in. The cancer might have become locally aggressive and that is the reason the doctors have suggested major surgery. A surgery being possible is a curative approach. I am not sure of the position of his eyes as reports are not available but however if surgery is not done then risk to life persists. If there is risk of loss of vision in one eye then I think it is worth to take a chance with surgical treatment. This time it is suggested to have detailed discussion and also take complete treatment like chemotherapy or radiation therapy if required after the surgery. It is less likely for alternate treatment to work at this stage. I suggest that he does not waste more time in decision-making and proceeds with a surgery at a good cancer hospital. Hopefully his eye will be safe. Please do not worry. |

Also, I feel as if something had cracked on the right side of my jaw a few times before. also, on my right, I can hear the sound of the elastic stretching. Is this a major problem? | Dear friend. Thanks for sharing your concern. As per history posted here, it appears that the discomfort while moving the jaw could be due to two reasons.

Therefore, I would suggest you to visit your oral surgeon and get an x-ray done. This will help you to locate the exact site of pathology, related to jaw.x-ray is helpful in case of bony pathology whereas clinical evaluation will be helpful to evaluate clinically about fibrosis.

If it was a muscle pull, possibly a hematoma (blood collection) formed over there which got organized. This is seen in the scan as a lesion of 1Β cm by 2Β cm.

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | hi i am a married woman, 26 years old. we are planing for a baby. i would like to ask that is there any problem if we do sex during the periods, is there chances of pregnancy with this. and how often we should do sex to conceive? and when should we do sex to concevie | Hi, Thanks for the query. I understand your concern. Conceptions possible with unprotected sex around 3Β days before &3 days after)the ovulation day. Ovulation day is 14 days prior to expected date of menses. There is no possibility of ovulation during menses . So no chance of pregnancy in those days. So for conception have sex around ovulation date (calculated as said above in regular menstrual cycle/estimated exactly by LH surge test around expected ovulation)Have sex in those 6 days at least once a day or alternate day... for positive results. It's advisable to get semen analysis of your husband tested&treated as per need before you plan for a baby. Thanks. |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | I have a hard visible, looks like a cyst under my arm. I do not have pain. I had this lump for approximately three months. I have a gyro appt. Oct. 9th. I am now concerned but waited this long. Do you think I should see my family doctor before I see my Gino? | Hi, Dear,Thanks for your query to Chat Doctor. Dear I read your query and reviewed it with context to your query facts. Based on the facts of your query, you seem to suffer from-Fibroadenoma- as its painless lump, mostly in axillary tail of your breast. Could be a Cyst underarm ? Cystic Fibroadenomas. Both these conditions are benign, non-cancerous,but Verification by FNAC Biopsy to rule out the Cancerous cause of it needs to be ruled out By Second Opinion from Surgeon, prior to FNAC Biopsy. So I think before Meeting your Gone, meet your Doctor, which would save your fruitless Visit with your Gone, as you need a Surgeons consultation and not Gone consultation. Treatment-USG of the Cystic Hard Lump and FNAC Biopsy would give the direction and lead to the treatment of this Lump in Breast. Excision Biopsy / or Sectoral Lumpectomy with HIsto-path study would confirm the Benignity of your lump and would help you out of this intricate and worrisome Lump. So better Go to Surgeon, after consulting your GP doctor. Take care. Hope this reply would help you to plan further treatment with your family and specialist doctors there. Welcome for any further query in this regard. Good Day!! Chat Doctor. N. Senior Surgical Specialist |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | I have had MRCP scan and got gallstones. But also found mildly dilated intraheptic biliary ducts in segment 8 and 4a returning into normal calibre of the right hepatic duct and some hypertrophy of left lobe of liver. What does this mean? I have pain in right area under the ribs and back / shoulder pain. But also gas / lower abdomen pain and floating stools. What could be the cause? | Hi and welcome to Chat Doctor. It can be caused by gallbladder or liver issue and this is the most common cause of such pain. Dilated intrahepatic ducts are seen most commonly in biliary tree obstruction due to stones but also any kind of liver fibrosis or hepatitis can cause it as well. Rarely tumors are diagnosed after such MRI findings. So you should do cholecystectomy if pain persist and have frequent hepatologist follow up. Thanks for the query. Wish you good health. Regards |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | Hello doctor,I am a 19-year-old male. A week ago my thumb became numb below the fingernail. It was numb for two days and this went away. Now my left middle finger and the ring finger are numb and my right thumb feels sore. I also have a burning sensation in the feet, sometimes it feels like there is water or ice on my feet. My right knee feels stiff and then I switch to my left knee. My doctor looked confused and said it was all anxiety. Really, I do not think so. Could this be an early sign of diabetes? | Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor forum. I have read through your question and I would like to tell you that peripheral neuropathy can happen in a patient with diabetes which does present in the form of burning sensation in the feet and neuropathic pain. At your age, type 1 diabetes that is insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus is more common. It can be diagnosed by a blood sugar profile. I would advise you to get an ESR (erythrocyte sedimentation rate), RF (rheumatoid factor), and CRP (C-reactive protein) done to diagnose the cause of the stiffness. If these tests come clear then most likely it a neuropathic pain caused due to a nerve compression for which we may need to get an MRI (magnetic resonance imaging). In the meanwhile, I suggest you can start taking tablet Neurobion Forte (multivitamin supplement) and let me know if you feel any improvement. Consult your specialist doctor, discuss with him or her and with their consent take the medicines. Thank you. For more information consult a family physician online |
