I m 31yrs, It has been 3 yrs since we got married. I conceived twice but in my first conception I had bleeding in 5 week then I had D&C in 12th week as my child had no heart beat.In the next conception again I had bleeding and it aborted naturally in 2nd month.After this I didnt conceive for a year inspite of several follicular studies and natural contact. This year 2011,I had laparoscopy in the month of april it was found that I had chocolate cyst of 3*.3cm in my left ovary and a fibroid 1*2cm in uterus.Right and left tube are normal and the spill is mild positive on both sides.In the month of May I had IUI but I didn t conceive. This month(June-2011) on my 4th day of periods I had Lupride depot injection. Inspite of many problems, Are there possibilities for me to conceive, please do clear me. My husband has 30 million sperm count and 65% mobility.
Well, your husbands counts are ok. In your case, the fibroid is very small, and should be a cause for infertility. The chocolate cyst is pretty significant and I believe should be removed. Now, chocolate cyst generally cause endometriosis which results in difficulty in conception sometimes. But in your case, conception doesn't seem to be the problem.It's the maintaining of the pregnancy that is. At least in the earlier one.I'm guessing that the chocolate cyst has developed in the last few months causing difficulty in conception. I suggest getting that treated first and then see a fertility specialist again for ovulation studies. Lupride is a Chat Doctor.

My little boy (aged 2) has had diahorea for over a week now. The only thing I can think of is that he seems to be eating more tinned spaghetti in tomato sauce. It seems silly, but is this the cause do you think? He doesn t eat a lot of dairy products (which some say makes diarhorea worse) just plenty of milk each day. He is fine in himself and eating quite well; most of his teeth are through and teething hasn t caused him to have diahorea for this long in the past...should I take him to the GP just yet? Kind regards, Corinne
Hello dear Corinne!I would like to have a detailed history regarding loose stools, their frequency?consistency?either they are foul smelling or not?do they cause abdominal pain also?do they contain blood or mucus?if nothing is there and the stools are about 2-3 per day and no abdominal pain no smell no blood in stool, it could be because of excessive eating. Stop tinned foods.avoid too much milk, one glass per day is enough for this age. Should also give him more fluids like ORS and fresh fruit juices to replenish the fluid loss if he seems a bit deny Chat Doctor. Give him spy. Zinc 5 ml once daily for 10 days along with homemade yogurt. Hope it will help. Wishing your child good health :-)

Hi, my 2.5 year old is running a temperature of 102. We gave him crocin before 5 hours and now the fever is high again. Should i continue giving crocin? the pediatrician said that it will take 2-3 days to feel better and that we should continue giving medicine.
Hi... Thank you for consulting in Chat Doctor. Fever of few days without any localizing signs could as well a viral illness. Usually rather than fever, what is more important is the activity of the child, in between 2 fever episodes on the same day. If the kid is active and playing around when there is no fever, it is probably viral illness and it doesn't require antibiotics at all. Once viral fever comes it will there for 4-7 days. So do not worry about duration if the kid is active. Hope my answer was helpful for you. I am happy to help any time. Further clarifications and consultations on Chat Doctor are welcome. If you do not have any clarifications, you can close the discussion and rate the answer. Wish your kid good health.

Hi there, How long do you have to be taking Noriday contraceptive pill to be protected if you dont start taking it the first day of your period initially. I started taking it at another time in the month but took it for 7 days straight before I had unprotected sex, am I covered? Regards, Laura
Hello, and I hope I can help you today. Typically, women are advised to start birth control pills within seven days of their last menstrual period because it is unlikely that she would've already ovulated at that time. If you start the pill later in your cycle, the process initiates ovulation may have already begun and your body may produce an egg that is capable of being fertilized that cycle. However, even if you ovulated right when you started to take the pill, it is unlikely that the egg would still be viable to be fertilized after seven days. Therefore, waiting seven days before having unprotected intercourse most likely was enough time to ensure that you would not become pregnant. Modern pregnancy tests will become positive within 10 days to two weeks after conception, so if you do not have a menstrual period at the end of your pill pack, you should perform a urine pregnancy test to be safe. However, if you start your pill later than one week after the start of your period, you may not actually bleed the first month during the pill free week. I hope that I was able to adequately answer your question today, and that this information was reassuring. Best wishes,

My 11 year old son has been having abdominal pain for 1 week. It is servere enough that he has not been able to attend school. I took him to the in yesterday & the nurse said his pain was cause by sinus drainage. I am concerned by the amount of pain he is in & how long it has lasted.
Hi dear, Is he having any other symptoms like vomiting, abdominal distension, loose stools or constipation? Any relation to food intake? Any difficulty or pain during urination? How was his interest in schools before? Abdominal pain severe enough to cause school absenteeism, that too for 1 week need to be evaluated for the underlying cause. Less commonly, a stressful or unfavorable school environment also cause such symptom in adolescents. So kindly take him to his pediatrician for evaluation. Depending on associated symptoms and findings on examination, you may be asked for few blood tests or ultrasound. Meanwhile, give him paracetamol for pain relief. Hope I have answered your Quertle me know if I can assist you further Chat Doctor.

My daughter had been on antibiotics due to throat infection.she had been taking augmenten dds plus alerid and capval, her course for antibiotic is over after 5 days.She has pain in stomach which i believe is due to strong medicines, can she take lanzol 15 junior for reflux
Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. She may have upper respiratory tract infection. Augmenting or azithromycin is useful. Pantoprazole is given along with these antibiotics to avoid gastric side effects. Warm saline water gargle are very useful. Consult your doctor and take treatment accordingly. Hope I have answered your question, if you have any doubts then contact me at bit.ly/ Chat Doctor. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Wish you a very good health.

I experience chest pain and while i was i home felt pain rush up my jaw, teeth where hurting, felt uncomfortable, took a bayer pill, today i feel down, feel confuse, my head feels weird, so i took migraine pills, feel better now, but i was wondering if i should go to hospital.
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your situation and problem. It seems mostly due to anxiety but better to rule out cardiac cause first. So get done ECG. If ECG is normal than no need to worry much for cardiac cause. Anxiety appears more in your case. And it also causes you migraine like symptoms too. So better to consult psychiatrist and get done counseling sessions. Try to identify stressor in your life and start working on its solution. You may require anxiolytic Chat Doctor. So avoid stress and anxiety. Be relax and calm. You will be alright. Don't worry.

Hi, Cerebral atrophy may be age-related or Alzheimer's disease or multiple infarcts or stroke or multiple sclerosis. Multiple sclerosis associated atrophy can be treated, and they may recover early and attain a normal life expectancy of others. Alzheimer's disease patients may not recover completely, their life expectancy is less than 10 years even with treatment. Therefore, give him supportive care along with that regular exercise and green leafy vegetable consumption are recommended. Please consult your euro physician, he will examine and treat you accordingly. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Hello doctor,My wife is 26 years old. She is 33 weeks pregnant and detected with sugar all of a sudden. Her PP sugar level is 149 mg/dL. Can you suggest how to control it? How early baby can be delivered?
Hello. A single reading of postprandial sugar of 149 mg/dL should not be a reason to worry unless your wife has a family history of diabetes or diabetes in the previous pregnancy. She can do one oral GTT (glucose tolerance test). It is a sugar test done in fasting and every hour after giving glucose orally. If that is fine and if there are no other symptoms of diabetes like increased thirst, frequent urination, or frequent infections, then no dietary modification is needed. Normally baby can be safely delivered after 37 completed weeks (four weeks from now). If sugar was already tested more than once and found high, simple dietary modifications like avoiding sugars and reducing carbohy ChatDoctor. I hope this helps.

She has an infarct in cerebellar region, she has hallucinations and delusions disturbing her life, she is taking reguib 1mg tds diovan 80mg and sinenet 1/2 bd.

Hi, thanks for the question. Circle (Escitalopram) is an antidepressant used to specifically treat symptoms of depression like low mood, lack of pleasure in pleasurable activities, irritability, crying spells, helplessness, hopelessness, fatigue, low self-esteem, suicidal ideation, death wishes etc. As your has had stroke; she definitely is having a risk of suffering from depressive illness. Is she having any or some of these symptoms? Parkinson's disease & use of antiparkinsonian Chat Doctor. But you have described that your mother is having delusions & hallucinations which are suggestive of Psychosis. Psychosis can be secondary to stroke she recently suffered, or due to side effects of antiparkinsonian medications, or it may be even a hidden manifestation of delirium which tends to occur in post stroke patient or even dementia which is common in this age group. Hence, I need further information in form of detailed description of your mothers symptoms, medications, problems faced by you (caregiver) before arriving at a diagnosis & starting medications. Depending upon her problem, T. Quetiapine to control delusions, hallucinations or T. Circle to take care of depressive symptoms can be used. Do get back to me with further information.

My son below 2 years is suffering from high fever 102 degree F or higher with dark stool sometimes, as well as he complains for stomach pain. His fever started 5 days back with 100 Deg F and is gradually increasing. He has been given Amoxycilin Tryhydrate & potasium Clavulanate & combination of paracetamol & Ibuprofen for 2.5 days. Now the medicine is changed due to increased fever and is given Taxim O(Cefixime) , Levofloxacin Ornidazole combination & paracetamol Ibuprofen combination. I am really worried what has happened. Please suggest. The fever comes back every 6 hours.

i am 55 years old having a heightb of 160 cms and weight 60 kg.I was having low back pain accelerating to my buttocks . ON doing MRI scan the observations are 1)Mild postero-central disc protrusion with central annular tear at L5-S1 causing central canal narrowing and mildly indenting the traverse nerve roots.2)mild pseudo disc bulge at L4-L5 due to anterolisthesis with no significant neural compromise. what are the precautions and excersise i should take/
Hi, Thank you for posting your query. I have noted your symptoms and MRI findings. The findings are minor, and you can be treated without surgery (conservative management). This would include precautions such as avoiding forward bending and lifting heavy weights. Also, you should do back extension exercises, which can be taught by a physiotherapist. Medications that can help you are pregabalin or gabapentin capsules. I hope my answer helps. Please get back if you have any follow-up queries or if you require any additional information.

I am currently 29 years old. 6 years ago (age 23), I had to have an emergent double cardiac bypass related to inflammatory occlusion from my Takayasus aortitis. I am otherwise very healthy an have not had any complications following surgery and my grafts are patent. Is it okay for me to ride steel roller coasters? Is there anything about the shifts in gravity that would be contraindicated?
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. In my opinion, you should not ride on any roller coaster ride. These rides can damage operated vessels. Actually, there is sign board stating that bypass patients are not allowed in roller coasters. This is because they are not safe such patients. So better not to take ride in such roller coasters as it can cause sudden death in such patients. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks

Hi, I have been suffering for the past 7 months with chronic dizziness, light headedness, headaches and occasional migraines, palpitations and chest pains. I have seen my GP who had referred me to a cardiologist, neurologist and ENT. My Dr first referred me to a cardiologist after she couldn t find the cause for my dizziness to have a 24hr holter monitor the results came back as a First Degree AV Block but no further action was taken regarding this. They later done an ECO, Stress ECO, Brain MRI, Brain CT and they all came back clear. My cardiologist wasn t satisfied so he referred me to another Cardiologist interstate in Queensland for a Transcranial Doppler. My results where positive Grade 5 so 2 weeks later they attempted a PFO Closure which was unsuccessful, they could not locate the hole. After surgery they told me it was the first time this had happened to them and they were unsure of why they couldn t find the hole or a reason for the test to be positive at a Grade 5 level and he told me to see a ENT. The ENT i seen done a hearing test, allergy test and another test where they squirt water in your ear. All results come back normal except they discovered a dust might allergy. They later done food allergies and blood tests to check for other virus the results came back with no food allergies but a positive to Epstein Barr Virus. The ENT told me and made me believe it was a rare viral infection from the middle east that could be fixed with vitamins and B12 injections. I went home done some research and discovered over 95% of the population has it, i went and seen my GP the next day to discuss my results which she had sent to her to discover i do not have a current infection and the ENT had lied. I had a slight B12 deficiency so my GP gave me the injections anyway and she also gave me a dose of steroids in case it was Vestibular Neuritis but unfortunately they didn t work. My GP has referred me back to another Cardiologist in Sydney this time my appointment is in 7 weeks. I am not confident any more about My current Dr situation, It seems like i am just going around in circles and i am getting no answers. I have just turned 21 i should be working and having fun but instead i have had to put my life on hold. I can no longer drive or work. Just Before i had gotten sick my Boyfriend and i had planned to move interstate to be closer to our families but we have had to postpone it until i can work again. Please help me i am begging you to please give me some suggestions to what it could be or ideas as to what to do next. I want to start living again and i can t afford to keep having the same tests done over and over again. I am exhausted.
Hi welcome to ChatDoctorI understand your query and concern. Your symptoms are suggestive of Myocardial infarction leading to Right sided heart failure and pulmonary edema.

Hello doctor,I have four big fibroids. Two intramural 12 cm and 10 cm each and other two 4 and 10 cm each which are subserous. I do not have any symptoms except for frequent urination. My periods are also regular. Is there any medication to shrink the fibroids?
Hello. According to your condition, along with Ayurvedic medicines you also require panchakarma procedures like Vamana or Virechana. Vaman is emesis therapy and Virechana is purgation therapy. They are done under the supervision of a physician. They will help you in removing excess toxins from your body and also will help you in fibroids. Along with that, you can take Ayurvedic medicine for fibroids. Rather than taking medicine alone take panchkarma therapy along with it. So I advise you to visit a nearby reputed Ayurveda physician and ask him regarding this. For more information consult an ayurvedic specialist online

Dear doctor, I was diagnosised with TB infection in my left upper back by ultrasound guided FNAC in february 2013, Medications: from March to May 2013 (1st 3 months) i took 4 tablets daily contained Rifampicin 150mg + Isoniazid 75mg + Pyrazinamide 400mg + Ethambutol 275mg/tablet. Then from June to December 2013 (next 7 months) i took 2 tablets daily contained Rifampicin 300mg/ + Isoniazid 100mg/tablet. In December 2013 i had the TB skin test which was 12 mm. Then from januray 14 to april 30 i again continued the second dose as usual. But still now i feel a pinch type pain inside while i stretch my left upper back muscle. Please give me your valuable suggestion whether i should go for the surgery now to get rid of the infection.
Hellos you mentioned that there is a tuberculosis in the back (in my opinion this may be extra pulmonary tuberculosis after FNAC report). But dosage you mentioned of anti-tubercular medicine is not perfect (in my opinion). The dosage are adjusted according to weight wise as:Rifampicin 8-9 mg /kg body weight. Isoniazide 10 mg /kg Ethambutol 16-18 mg /KgPyrazinemide 25-30 mg /kg. In my opinion this treatment should be for initial 2-3 months according to severity of symptoms (known as intensive treatment) . After this 2nd treatment started depending on condition of disease 6 months to 1 year (total). As about tuberculin test, still you may have disease. In my opinion consult a Tuberculosis physician and get his opinion about all these. In any condition patient should not develop resistance to anti-tubercular Chat Doctor. Hope this will help you.

Hi, i recently had my blood test done and my renal profile results are as below:Creatinine: 83 umol/L (Range: 44-80)Phospate: 0.86 mmol/L (Range: 0.87-1.45)Uric Acid: 341 umol/L (Range: 143-339)Can you please let me know does the above results indicate a possible kidney problem?
Hi, Thanks for writing in. Serum creatinine is a test by which the ability of the kidney to clear impurities is calculated. If serum creatinine is at upper limit of normal then it does not necessarily mean kidney failure. Please get other kidney function tests done and also urinalysis done. History of any previous illness or inflammation can also rise the serum creatinine levels to upper limit of normal. Please get an ultrasound scan abdomen done to know if there is any stone or infection causing the serum creatinine level to be at upper limits of normal. Rarely patients might not experience pain when there is stone in the kidney and this might go unnoticed. History of a co morbid condition like diabetes or hypertension is also important to be evaluated. Please do not worry.

Hey thanks for your faith in the Chat Doctor.I have gone through your question and understood your problem. Yes it can if u had yeast infection previously. When swimming with a yeast infection, keep your vaginal area Chat Doctor. Hanging around in a wet bathing suit can stimulate the growth of yeast, exacerbating your infection.

I am 51 years old and was diagnosed with scoliosis at the age of 16. I have went threw injections in my spine serval times it would work for about a week.So I stopped, now pain wakes me up at night in my back and new systems pain in left hip and pain in right shoulder . Last time I went to back doctor I had a 45 degree curvature,What can I do to get out of this pain and is hip and shoulder pain related? I am currently not on pain killers.Also had history of blood clot that led into DVT & PE. PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!
Thanks for the query. Scoliosis curve is in the upper back or lower back? Hip pain...... does it worsen when you move your hip in and out? If it's a buttock pain then it could be due to nerve pinching. Shoulder pain not related to hip or low back. However, neck problem can give rise to shoulder pain. Initial treatment is pain medicine and physiotherapy. Need to see your X-ray. Do you have a compensatory scoliosis curve? Need complete work up like X-ray and MRI of the spine. Need to establish the pain generator before doing any intervention. If possible get back with above information to tell you more about pain source. Thanks.

Hello doctor,A couple of weeks ago, I woke up with a bad headache and a very stiff neck. It was so painful that I could not make it through a regular day without crying and intense pain. Since this time, I have been to the doctor four times and each time, they gave me more medicines. I have also been to a chiropractor four times because one of the doctors recommended it after he took an x-ray. The headaches have gone away. I suffer from headaches and this pain is so different. Now, I have constant pain in the back of my lower neck and only on the left side. The stiff neck has improved and I can manage a day but I am still in intense pain. The only medicines I am taking at this time are over the counter medicines. What do I need to do?
Hello. Your symptoms may be related to occipital neuralgia, which is an irritation of the occipital nerve, which lies in the back of your head. I would like to know what were the results of your neck x-ray. This neuralgia can be exacerbated by cervical spondyloarthritis. I recommend starting Indomethacin twice daily if you have no contraindications to it (stomach problems or high blood pressure). I recommend consulting with a neurologist for a careful physical examination. An antiepileptic ChatDoctor. I hope this helps. Cervical spondyloarthritis or intracranial cause. Neck x-ray, brain CT (computed tomography) scan. Indomethacin. Anti-epileptics (Valproate, Topiramate or Lamotrigine). Take care.

Yes, I have a herniated disc that causes me to lose control over my bladder to add to this I have a PE which was just discovered. How long do I have to wait to address my disc problem which also causes me significant pain and my PE causes me significant pain. What do I do? My current pain med does not - hydrocodone does not give me relief.
Hi, thank you for providing the brief history of you. A thorough neuromuscular assessment is advised. I read your history and found that the pain due to herniated disc is not reduced even after the HY Chat Doctor. I will advise you to get the thorough neuromuscular assessment done with the or tho first. Second, he may recommend you for a fresh MRI if you don't have one. Later, He will recommend you to for physical therapy. This is non-invasive and effective in herniated disc. A lot of research articles will be there on net to find one. By use of Therapeutic ultrasound therapy, TENS therapy the inflammation and pain will be controlled. Also, on later stages you will be taught exercises which will help regain the strength in the muscles, by which the inter vertebral disc spaces will be regained and the pinch from the nerve will be down. Besides, to understand, that physical therapy will help you to regain the maximum benefit on the longer runs, if you continue the exercises in the future. In my personal practice, we design a protocol not less than 12 weeks, keeping the assessment in mind. And we are able to get 100% success in cases. Also, regular exercises are advised to our patients and till date we have only to joy. RegardsJay In

Hello doctor,I took an I-pill after 48 hours of intercourse. Now I am experiencing brown spotting a week before my periods. Is it a sign of pregnancy?
Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor forum. As you took an emergency contraceptive pill within 48 hours of intercourse, you can expect around 75 % protection towards pregnancy.

Hello, If your treating doctor says that your daughter doesn't need admission, then it must be a correct observation. In general patients with typhoid fever are treated as OLD patients and admission is done only in few cases where there are complications present. After a proper antibiotic therapy typhoid fever may take 4-6 days to normalize, however you should make sure that a complete antibiotic course for 2 weeks must be completed, lest relapse occurs. Thanks

I have asthma, and I have had a particularly bad year for colds and bronchitis. I have had three cortisone shots this year--the most ever in my treatment. I have really bad bronchitis, and I am debating whether or not to go to the doctor. It s probably viral, but I sound like a seal, and my wheezing is terrible. Please advise. Kaye
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. In my opinion you should consult pulmonologist and rule out infection at present as infection is the most common cause for worsening of asthma. Also get done PFT(Pulmonary Function Test) for lung functions. And treatment of asthma should be continued daily. Not only when you have severe wheezing. Treatment of asthma is follows.1. Identification of allergen and complete avoidance of it.2. Inhaled bronchodilators like long acting beta 2 agonist and corticosteroids. 3. Antihistamines and anti-allergic Chat Doctor. 4. Anti-inflammatory ABD antibiotics as and when required. So consult pulmonologist and discuss all these.

I witnessed my 18 month old daughter aspirate on food. She went limp. It took ambulance 18 minutes to get to our house. She never regained consciousness and died in my arms the next morning. This was 1993. I suffered severe depression....guilt ridden......nightmares on a regular basis....severe anxiety at the sound of sirens...contemplated suicide every day. I went to church and counseling. My husband was not interested in either. He took a leave of absence from work for 3 months. He went fishing every day...left me alone at home. I was desperate to have another child. We finally did get pregnant with twins....I was hypervigilant. The twins were born in 1996. Things were good. Fast forward...2007, my mom died unexpectedly.....I was main support for my father. My husband s sister died 1 month before my mom did...then 3 weeks later, her daughter committed suicide...shot herself in the head. In 2014 my husband was in a car accident...8 days in a coma for 8 days...we withdrew life support. Next my father died....less than a year after. Next, my older sister died unexpectedly after years of fentanyl and prescription drugs. All these deaths were back to back. The death of my sister recently has thrown me into back in to severe depression and anxiety...who s going to die next?? Don t want to get out of bed.
Dear patient. Multiple back to back life stressor makes one vulnerable to depressive episodes. Multiple suicidal attempts with mood changes may be underlying severe depression. You need to consult psychiatrist. U may need antidepressants and psychotherapy. But if depression is left untreated it may markedly disturb your psychosocial professional aspects of life sooner u seek help better it would be

My Dad 62 years old .. recently got fever, after taking one injection from a doctor ... fever got reduced but omitting started........ We went to hosiptal and we toll blood sampleSericum creatine is 4.5 and blood Urea is 100 ......... Doctor told he is suffering from Parenchymal kidney disease grade 1?
Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor. As a Urologist, I can fully understand your concern. What you need to know is, creatinine and urea, are wastes products of the body, that normally get filtered out of the kidney, and are flushed out in urine. Normal urea is up to 40, and normal creatinine is up to 1.2. In your dads case, both are significantly above normal, causing the omitting. On the scan, the kidney changes are noted as parenchymal kidney disease. Hope your doubt is cleared. You may send the scan report in my name, for expert opinion.

I had a blood clot in my leg after a vein procedure with laser in March. Subsequent tests showed I am positive for Factor V Leiden. I still have a lot of swelling and continue to wear a compression stocking. I cant figure out if the swelling remains from the vein procedure or the blood clot and Im afraid that I will have to live with this kind of swelling from now on. Is that the case for Factor V? Is this continued swelling to be expected?
Hi, Thank you for your query on Chat Doctor. Positive for factor V Leiden people are prone for clots formation in the blood circulation system. Symptoms will depend on the site and extent of involvement. Continue to wear stockings. Prophylactic use of anticoagulants like aspirin, warfarin may be required to prevent further clot formation. Prolonged sitting or lying on bed further increases the risk of clots formation. Consult the doctor for further advise on management. Hope I have answered your query. Regards.

Hi,my daughter is 20 now.She is suffering from allergy(running nose,watering eyes and sneezing all the time).So one doctor suggested to take odimont-lc.She has been taking this for the past 1 month but she also feels drowsiness for the whole day.As she has exams to come ,kindly suggest as per the need.
Cellophane You for contacting Chat Doctor. Allergy should have subsided by now as your daughter has taken medicine for a month. I would suggest you following things:> Observe what particular things is causing allergy. It could be from dust, pollen or particular food. This is very important for long term management.> Take cetirizine one at night for 5 days. (sedation will only occur at night)> Take montelukast one daily for one month. Research has shown that it decreases the allergic symptoms considerably. I would also suggest her to undergo allergy testing at allergy clinic if it does not subside. It will tell that her that she is allergic to what specific thing. The results will help an allergist to prescribe you immunotherapy to that specific allergen, and it will improve the problem. Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow-up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. Wishing her good health.

My mother has stone in gall bladder and have uterus problems too.. Doctors have adviced for laproscopic surgery for stone and then open vaginal surgery after 3-4days. My mother has Thyroid problem and haemoglobin is around 10.She already had two stomach operations long back(apendics and cesarean birth)..We are from Patna..AFMC Pune will be good or should we go for Patna only for the surgery..???And what other important suggestions will you give???
Hi, thanks for writing in Chat Doctor. The first issue is which problem is causing symptoms? Gallstones or the uterine one. The one which is symptomatic needs to be attended first. Allow a gap of at least 12 weeks for full recovery until you consider the second surgery. Operating both the conditions at an interval of 3-4 days in a patient with medical problems could cause complications. Hence, it is wiser to play self and allow the patient to full tolerate each surgery properly. The place where you get operated does not matter. What matters is the qualifications and expertise of the surgeon. Regards

Dear Dr.Mahashur, i have been diagonised with MYCOPLASMIC PNEUMONIA by a Dr in Singapore,(mycoplasmic pneumonia antibody fbc= >1:1280) and am now on a 20-days course of avelox ( moxifloxacin 400 mg) and have also been advised to take steroids for 10 days. I have already gone through a course of antibiotics to treat pneumonia (CLAVICEF)and TB has been eliminated by carrying out a bronchoscopy and lab analysis for TB. I am apprehensive about taking steroids, so pls advise if it is necessary to take steroids? thanks.
Hello rearward welcome to Chat Doctor.come have evaluated your query thoroughly.* The need of steroid is determined by the clinician taking into considerations many parameters.* Steroids help to relieve mucosal inflammation of the bronchi, gives faster recovery, so under medical guidance a short course of steroid to be consumed has no harm in it. Hope this will help you for sure. Welcome for any further assistance. Regards.

Sometimes after I have sex or masturbate and dont wash my penis I will end up with a red bump on the head of my penis. It doesnt hurt or sting or burn its about 4mm round, and forms a head or flakes off a layer of skin. Ive been to the STD clinic they say its nothing. Any thoughts?
Thank you for query. It may be due to fungal infection. Please take following precautions. Use loose cotton clothes. Keep area Chat Doctor. Apply antifungals like clotrimazole. Clean the area twice daily with warm water. Oral antifungals like fluconazole 150 mg weekly once can be taken. Treat your partner also to prevent recurrence. Good control of diabetes is most important to prevent recurrence. Consult doctor if it does not subside. You can get back to me for any clarifications with the photos.

I had chest pains and it was hard to breathe. I went to ER where they did a CAT scan of my heart, did an ultrasound and found nothing. INow my pain is in my upper chest area and it hurts to breathe deep, feels like someone is has a bear hug around my upper chest
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your situation and problem. In my opinion, we should first rule out bronchitis in your case. Because bronchitis can cause similar symptoms like breathlessness, chest tightness, pressure, pain etc. So better to get done PFT (Pulmonary Function Test). If PFT is normal than no need to worry about bronchitis. Your CT thorax is also normal. So no need to worry about lung infection too. Sometimes stress and anxiety can cause similar symptoms. So avoid stress and tension, be relaxed and calm. Consult psychiatrist and get done counseling sessions, try to identify stressor in your life and start working on its solution. You may need anxiolytic Chat Doctor. Don't worry, you will be alright. Hope I have solved your query. Wish you good health. Thanks.

Hello doctor,What is the difference between spine fusion and fixation surgery?
Hi. The spine fusion means we fuse one mobile segment of the spine. That means we fuse between two vertebral bodies. We put bone graft there and it fuses with time. This is usually done if there is instability at that segment or spinal canal is so narrow that while decompression we are sure that this segment will become unstable. We also put screws because it takes around six months to fuse, till that time those screws will prevent instability at that segment. In spinal fixation surgery, we only put screws and connect them with rods. This is done mainly in trauma cases where natural healing occurs with time and till that time screws are kept in place. I could help you much better if you can tell me your particular case in brief. Take care.

My 11-year old son tells me he has sharp pain in the center of his scrotum. It is intermittent and has had it for the past four days. The scrotum is normal color and he does not think it is swollen. Hurts more when sitting down. No pain during urination. Seems slightly more sore, but not significantly, after running around. Does not recall a recent injury to his scrotum. Has not been very physically active outside of PE.
Thanks for asking in Chat Doctor forum IN short: Intermittent torsion can cause this. Explanation: Usually torsion testis occurs in young individuals. Sometimes it may be for a short time called intermittent torsion. SO, only you may not have noticed swelling after that. Please visit your doctor at the time of pain and ask for Doppler investigation to rule out this. If pain is present now, then visit your doctor now only.

Hi, I am 23 years old and usually very healthy. I have recently been suffering extremely blurry vision and strange heart beat; it beats very fast and then slow for quite a while, it has happened at night when I am in bed and during the day when exercising. It lasts about 10 minutes. My mother has cardio myopathy however the Drs are quite certain this was caused by the extreme levels of medication she has used all her life for her asthma. Thanks,
There are 50 chances of getting asthma in their child Chat Doctor. Usually it starts with allergies and if allergies are not completely cured in starting it worsens to asthma and the medication usually land into cardiomyopathy but in your case there can be other causes like thyroid, sinuses and other diseases you have to get diagnosed for allergies so that the symptoms do not land into asthma in future get diagnosed and treat them and it won't cause you any problem if treated correctly

I went to a pain management doctor this morning and had an injection for back pain. Before the injection my blood pressure was 155/82, The blood pressure after the procedure was something like 100/60 and the pulse 50. I had an electric cardiogrma done and no problem by my Cardiologist where I was sent. The blood presure and pulse havs now increased to more normal numbers. Should I be concerned? Bill
Hello, Thank you for using Chat Doctor. I read your question and understood your concern. I think there is nothing to be worried about since the blood pressure is getting to normal now. It may have been a temporary Chat Doctor. Some people react like this from any kind of injection in their body. From now and on you should know that you are such person and take some preventive measures such as keep laying down and not standing after the injection for a while and

Hello;Fever in cancer patients taking chemotherapy is not uncommon. Patients with cancer are immunocompromised and chemotherapy can further suppress the immunity. Common sites of infection should be searched to find source of infection. Questions whether there are any other signs of infection, redness, swelling, pain, pus, productive cough, color of phlegm, breaks in the skin, presence of an IV line, mouth sores can help in localizing source of infection. Since his blood culture was negative, and he has not responded to antibiotics, there is a probability that he is having some fungal infection. He should receive antifungal medication as well as tests for detection of fungal infectionRegards

Hello, my name is Nadine. Im 32. 3 children. I had twins 10 mo ago. It was a complicated peegnancy. I had high blood pressure 145/90 at the end with high protein level in urine. I had a c section the day I broke my water. At 34 weeks exactly. Babies were doing great though. Anyway 10 months later, as today, I still have high BP. 145/90. My family doctor advised me to lose some weight and get on a more healthy diet (less salt and sugar) and avoid any medicine right now. Instead he prescribed me deanxit, being very stressed, feeling low and sad for a very long time now. Is this a good idea? Will this medicine help me get my BP lower also? Im also subject to tachycardia and I forgot to ask my doctor if deanxit will affect my heart beats. Im also about to start a treatment with isosupra for acne , is it compatible with deanxit? I know that isosupra affects the mood.Thank you for reading and answering me.Regards
Hello, you had pre-eclampsia during pregnancy. It was wise decision to have a CS as soon as the water broke. Btw about 10 -20 percentage of patients who had hypertension during pregnancy may have persistent hypertension throughout and these are the patients who require long term medication for blood pressure. However, as your pressure are just borderline we may wait and give diet and lifestyle changes RO take care of the slightly higher pressure. Also yes anxiety does push the blood pressure high and so treatment for the same may decrease the pressure is that's the predominant cause. What you are feeling is called post part um blues and its very common after a complicated pregnancy. Peer support would be ideal here. Isospin can be taken with Density. However please note that Isospin should NOT be taken if you are breastfeeding. Also, the reason for acne in you would be hormonal imbalance and ISO treating in is not the best Chat Doctor. Hoping I could help. Regards

My son-in-law is having difficulty breathing....feels like he cant get enough air. Its worse when hes standing, so he is now laying down. Difficult to speak. He has no history of asthma, but had the same thing happen a couple of weeks ago, but not quite as bad.
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. In my opinion, you should definitely consult pulmonologist for your son-in-law. He is having recurrent breathing difficulty. So we should definitely rule out asthma and bronchitis. So get done chest x-ray and PFT (Pulmonary Function Test).PFT will not only diagnose bronchitis or asthma, but it will also tell you about severity of the disease and treatment is based on severity only. He may need inhaled bronchodilators (formoterol or albuterol) and inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) (budesonide or fluticasone).Don't worry, he will be alright. First diagnose him and then start appropriate treatment. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your son-in-law. Thanks.

Hello, I had gone through the case and found that back pain might be due to calcium deficiency and lower chest burning due to hyperacidity or any heart problem as her lipid profile is on higher side. So take Vitamin D3 and calcium and antacid. Also go for heart checkup. For high cholesterol take statin and 8-10 night soaked almonds. Do yoga and exercise daily.

I had my lower right premolar extracted on tuesday at around 5pm. When the anastethic wore off I was in unbearable pain, so I took a paracetamol and held a cold compress to my cheek and the pain went away. The next day I woke up with no pain. However as the day went on and ever since I have had pain in the jaw, a dull ache that sometimes twinges in my chin and occasionally radiates to my ear, and on one occasion my temple. Before today I controlled it with two doses of cocodamol and 200mg ibuprofen a day, today I have managed on two 200mg ibuprofen. It just feels like the pain will never go away - its not getting worse, but it flares up at night where it is usually manageable in the day. Is there something wrong? (additional info - I broke my jaw 2 months ago and it just finished the healing process before the extraction; also the extraction site looks healthy, gums slowly healing over a black socket. Bathing in salt water 4 times a day and brushing gently twice a day as normal.) Update - I have just realised I have to pay and I am a poor poor student in London who barely has enough money to eat but I am so worried about this pain, pleeeeeease help me :-(
Hi, Thanks for asking the query, I would like to tell you that pain, swelling, prolonged numbness are common complications after extraction, you don't have to worry about that as they will subside after sometimes. There could be a chance of some broken root piece left in the socket to rule out this you need to take an x-ray. Take complete course of antibiotics and analgesics. Take lukewarm saline and antiseptic mouthwash rinses. Take rest and follow the post extraction given by the Dentist properly. Hope this helps out. Regards.

my father is 69 years old 90kilos weight , last week he had on pump cadiac bypass, since the he has had very swollen legs, he is unable to stand by himself he is unable to walk unassisted, he is very tired with any minor effort. he has a history of diabetes and hypertension. is this normal after the surgery or is something wrong with him?
Hello! Thank you for asking on Chat Doctor! I carefully passed through your question and would explain that his symptoms could be related to increased fluid retention. There are different causes of fluid retention: - heart failure-kidney dysfunction- liver dysfunction- electrolytes imbalances. I would recommend consulting with his attending physician for a careful physical exam and some tests: - a cardiac ultrasound to examine his cardiac function and structure-some blood lab tests (complete blood count, PCR, sedimentation rate, kidney and liver function tests, blood electrolytes, blood osmolarity). You should discuss with his doctor on the above issues. Hope you will find this answer helpful! Best wishes,

i have been having pain in the middle of my chest off and on for a few months now. over the past week or so i am having worse chest pains that last most of the day off and on. sometimes it is sharp pain today it is dull and achy and my back is sore too
Hello. Thank you for your question and welcome to Chat Doctor. I understand your concern. Well, I am going to try and explain the differences between various origins of the pain which can arise from the rib cage. There is angina. It is described more like mid-chest heaviness or squeezing sensation, that is triggered by exercise and relieved by rest, which radiates to the both sides of the chest, to the jaw and left arm and shoulder. It is indicative of a blockage within one or more coronary arteries and reflects the lowering of blood supply to the heart muscle. An EKG obtained in the moment of chest pain, if it fills this description, would be helpful. Then there is pleuritic chest pain. This kind of pain is sharp, stabbing pain that can happen in any part of the chest area. No radiation like in anginal pain. It arises from acute or chronic inflammation of the linings that are within the rib cage: pleura (lining of the lungs) or pericardium (lining of the heart) or both. In this regard, I would recommend a chest X-ray for pleural inflammation or effusion. In case of pericardial pain and anginal pain, echocardiogram is helpful, by evaluating the size, motility and function of heart muscle and valves, and also by assessing the pericardium and whether there is fluid build-up within it, or not. Other causes of chest pain are related to the locomotion system of the rib cage: muscle soreness, bone and cartilage-related pain. In the end, stress can also cause chest pain. I hope I was helpful with my answer. Best regards,

Dear Dr. Malpani, I m Mr. Dorji, 29 years old. I have been trying for a baby past 2 years. I have a problem with ED from the very young age. The first time I tried to have sex with my girlfriend, i could not get erection . I then learned about viagra and tried next time. With the help of viagra, I am able to perform and have good sex with my partner. But no matter what and how best i tried, my girlfriend is never getting pregnant. I even tried with my second girlfriend, it never worked. Please help!
Hi I think u should get your semen analysis done and see the amount of sperms and see the motility of sperms. Amount should be at least 40-60 million per CCMM. If it is less we can increase the sperms by taking restore tablet twice daily for 6 months, if it is zero go for ultrasound see for any structural changes in the passage of sperms. If motility is fewer means actively motile sperms are less treat it with Evian LC tablet daily once

Hi, I hurt my wrist by hitting it on the railing really hard when I ran into it. It s right under my thumb but lower by sort of on my wrist. It s bruised and there s swelling. It s also very tender and hurts to touch. It s on my left hand on the left side, not on the bone that sticks up. What should I do? Is it just bruised?
Dear patient You have got significant trauma to your left hand and possibility of fracture cannot be ruled out. I would advise X-ray of left hand anteroposterior and oblique views to rule out bony abnormalities. Visit radiology center nearby you and get it done. Meanwhile, start tab diclofenac plus serratiopeptodase combination twice a day for pain relief. Apply ice packs on bruise to reduce pain and swelling. You need to consult expert orthopedic surgeon with report. All the best.

I have a rash on my inner arms and inner foreaarm that look similar to pimples but with no head... They appear randomly and usually dont itsch.. However I was recently on vacation in Arizona and noticed they came back and got worse on inner arm and upper ribcage and started to itch after I had been in a hot tub.
Hi there.1. By your description, your concern may be pityrosporum folliculitis.2.its due to candida yeast infection of hair follicles.3. You can try Julian lotion once daily bedtime for 30 consecutive days along with any clotrimazole dusting powder twice daily as maintenance.4. Avoid hot and humid conditions 5. Have 2-3 liters of water daily. If there is no response within couple of weeks, then have a consultation with a dermatologist nearby you for physical examination. This will help you.

I have CIDP and the weakness in my right leg and right arm and hand has got worse this past month. I have severe pain in my lower back and right leg when I am not laying down or setting. My dr. has me taking infusions each but I see no difference. Since I am getting worse, I was wondering about the life expectancy of someone with CIDP.
Hi, Thanks for asking. Based on your query, my opinion is as follows.1. CDP is neurological disorder and progressive weakness is seen.2. Treatment with intravenous immunoglobulin therapy and prednisone is known to be helpful3. Life expectancy is variable. Spontaneous remission or relapses with remission can be seen. Response to treatment and severity is important for further prognosis. Hope it helps. Any further queries, happy to help again.

Hello doctor,I chipped my front tooth two days ago. I saved the broken tooth piece in a cup of milk in the refrigerator. The piece is fairly small (bottom corner chipped off). What are my options to get my tooth fixed? It does not hurt but it is a little sharp to the touch.
Hi. That is good that you saved the part of the tooth. But actually little chipped off part of the tooth cannot be reattached to the tooth by any means. But if whole tooth and its root somehow got knocked out of socket while you fell down or so and that tooth is kept immediately under your saliva or milk and then re-implanted at the same place within one hour then this tooth definitely gets saved. But, unfortunately, its broken part is hard to re-attach. You should get filling of it done as soon as possible and get sharp edges trimmed else it will hurt your tongue or lips. Stay happy and blessed. Take care.

Hello. My baby has had a rash on his leg for the last couple weeks. Sometimes it looks as though it s getting better but then the next day it s back and red. It s rough and has a few circular spots but more spread out like a rash. I m not sure if it s from the detergent or what exactly. We live in a very hot and dry area so could it be from the weather? How can I treat this?
Hi Dear, Welcome to Chat Doctor. Understanding your concern. As per your query your child have symptoms of rough rash on legs which is very common as dirt and moisture get trapped by your clothing and the friction that comes from sitting can these symptoms. It could be due to blockage of sebaceous glands leading to folliculitis or boils. Need not worry. I would suggest you to keep this area clean and Chat Doctor. You should avoid touching or pricking rashes. If condition doesn't get better than consult dermatologist for proper examination. Doctor will examine physically along with blood test and sample for lab test. Doctor may prescribe immunosuppressants, antibiotics like clindamycin, anti-inflammatory or antifungal. Doctor may also prescribe benzoyl peroxide ointment. Hope your concern has been resolved. Get Well Soon. Best Wishes,

Hi iam 25 years old girl i had a unprocted sex on the 4th day of my mensuration yesterday , how can I avoid being pregnant with out using pills is their any home medicine , does it got pregnant having sex on 4th day of mensuration or not ?plz let me know and throw away my tension thank you ?
Hallow Dear, The egg is released 14 days prior to the next expected day of menstruation. Hence, considering your menstrual cycle to be of 28 days, it would be day 14 of the cycle (you can adjust the day according to your cycle periodicity). The egg has life of 24 hours while the sperms are active for 72 hours. Hence, the fertile period is about a week around the day of egg release, which would then be day 10 to day 18 of the cycle. Your had a sex on day 4 of your menstrual cycle which is far away room the fertile period. Hence, practically there is no possibility of egg being present on that day to cause pregnancy. For post-coital contraception, there are two scientific methods:1. Post-coital emergency contraceptive pill to be consumed ideally within 24 hours of but not later than 72 hours of unprotected intercourse. 2. Intrauterine device to be inserted within 5 days of the unprotected intercourse. There is no home remedy to avoid pregnancy after unprotected intercourse. I hope this helps you.

Hi dear thanks for posting question in Chat Doctor. Noted you have fatty liver. Continue with the tablet. I will give you here some lifestyle measures for fatty liver. Take fruits more. Green leafy vegetables taken more. Use oil as much less than possible. For cooking very less oil and try to use good oils like sunflower or peanut like oilsAvoid trans fat like cheese, butter, meat etc. Avoid junk food. Do regular 30 to 40 exercise like running, swimming, jogging etc. Papaiya seed with lemon juice good herbal remedy for liver. Avoid refined food and fat.

My son has had pains in his shoulders, chest and back (rib area) for the last year. His Dr said it was probably growing pains. They are very painful and getting worse as time goes on. He describes them as sharp, bubble like pains like they are trying to burst out of him. He has also gotten them on his hips. He also gets a tingly pain in his left elbow. The chest pains are just sharp with no bubble feeling to them. Any ideas as to what this could possibly be? More info on him, he is 11 yrs old, asthmatic (less than 2 inhalers per month), active, otherwise healthy. His diet is mostly veggies, fruit, wild game (deer, turkey, etc) and very little sugars and milks...he gets his calcium and other nutrients from vegetables. I am not looking for a diagnosis, just trying to make sure that it is just growing pains and not something more serious.Thank you for your advice!
Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor, I have read your query and understand your concern. As you have mentioned you have pain in your shoulder to chest and back rib area which is growing but does not seem to be serious. Here, I would like to know that whether you have any history of diabetes or thyroid illnesses or any injury to that joint. There could be several causes of shoulder pain such as rotator cuff injury or tear or rotator cuff tendinitis (inflammation of its tendons). The initial treatments for all these are, 1. Avoid repetitive overhead activities 2. Do not carry any heavy object or bag on affected shoulder or arm.3. Apply ice packs for about 15 minutes twice or thrice daily. 4. If you have learned how to do shoulder exercises then continue with that its could be effective. 5. Apply diclofenac based topical ointment which is more effective than paracetamol based.(available over the counter)6. Can take oral painkillers if pain is very severe. 7. Take Re-nerve Plus, as it is just a multivitamin supplement which is good for nerves (more useful in diabetic patients). If still pain is persisting then proper examination of shoulder joint is required to find the exact cause and if needed X-ray and MRI should be done. You can consult nearby doctor or orthopedic who can write X-ray and MRI of the shoulder after taking complete history and thoroughly clinical examination. Thanks and

I have a curved uterus and had trouble having my coil fitted last Tuesday, the Dr was heavily pushing with a curved metal rod, then all of a sudden it inserted sharply, while I was in the usual position for the procedure I jumped in the air because of the pain- it felt like the metal rod had gone through my rectum! I was uncomfortable after the procedure and found that when I urinated I had a tingling pond &!needlea sensation on the left side of my vagina, also I now have a pain like siatica down my left leg to just above my knee. Could I have siatic nerve damage - how long will it last should I go to my GP?
HI, IUD insertion with introverted/deviated uterus is a bit of difficult procedure, still its managed well by an experienced doctor. The pain you are having is mostly due to the difficult IUD insertion. Over handling, has given rise to the tingling sensation while urinating. Again your stressed /awkward position, sudden jumping after insertion has muscular stress/stretch to the nerve. This has given rise to the pain above knee. You can very well get checked by your doctor, who has undertaken the procedure/ an expert gynecologist. Don't worry, if you don't have any other complaint. A course of NSAID pills along with vitamin B12 twice a day with food should control the symptoms. Thanks

So my 2 year old baby has freezing cold feet but the rest of her body is extremely hot. I took her temperature and it was 102.2. I gave her some medicine and she seems to have cooled down. She isnt as hot as she was before but her feet are still kind of cold. What is happening to my baby?
HelloCool extremities during high grade fever is a common finding in child Chat Doctor. In most of the cases when this happens due to peripheral vasodilation. This condition must be differentiated from septic shock(hypotension with severe infection) a serious condition in which also there may be similar finding. A care taker can differentiate between the two as a baby with septic shock is very sick, there may alter sensorial or decreased frequency of urine. I would suggest you to consult a pediatrician for proper assessment and also to find out the cause of fever and management accordingly. Regards

I have had a soft, moveable lump on the opening of my anus for a few years now. It does not hurt and is not tender. I have noticed before when wiping that there is a tiny bit of bright red blood on the toilet paper. I suppose my bowel habits have slightly changed in that some days I don t need to use the toilet and other days I need to use it more than once. And recently I have noticed there may be another lump of a similar description in the same region. This has been a concern for quite some time now as I have always been too embarrassed to go to the doctors. I am also young. I plan on going on Monday but I am very very scared about what it could be, particularly as I have tried to ignore it for so long.
Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You may have some piles (hemorrhoids). Its common problem and it may bleed sometimes. You should go for examination and if needed you should go for surgery for your hemorrhoids. Consult your surgeon and plan accordingly. 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.

morning dr iam AAAAAAA im having ipills reglarly after having sex bt this tym my my periods not cum , and i check also i am not pregnant so is this the side effect of ipills or what plz guide me
Hello dear pill should not be used as a regular contraception method as it contains progesterone which is a hormone and can cause irregularities in menstrual cycle and interfere with ovulation eventually. Wait for periods for another week and then repeat your pregnancy test which is negative visit your gynecologist. Opt for a suitable contraception method from next cycle onwards. Take care and all the best

Cellophane you for asking. Yes chronic cough is always boring. I need some more information for your concern. Do you smoke and if yes for how long and how many CIG/day? If not any known allergies, if not you have to exclude them by doing a Prick test. Any problem with your stomach ? The returning of the acidic fluids of the stomach in the esophagus maybe? If not you would be better to do a chest X-Ray for determining any lung problems. Wish you good healthThank you Chat Doctor.

I had a cholecsytectomy about 7 months ago and for the past few days, i have been passing green stool. I havent eaten anything that woukd have lead to this. I also have some abdominal pain at the location of my now absent galbladder. Should i be concerned?
Hi.noted history of cholecystectomy, occurrence of pain over the post-operative site and green stools. Are you taking in any medication or supplement right now? It is best if you consult with a doctor, preferably a gastroenterologist or a general surgeon, for physical examination and clinical evaluation. Recurrence of stones somewhere along the hepaticopancreaticobiliary tree must be ruled-out. Diagnostics (such as ultrasound, bilirubin, liver function tests, etc.) and management (medical and/or surgical if indications are found) will be directed accordingly. Hope this helps. Good day!!~ Chat Doctor.

Hi, my chest is congested. I have been taking robitussin dm for cough & chest congestion and Advil for a headache. The headache is gone but my head still felt a little swollen. The last Advil was taken this morning. I have been coughing up mucous. My right arm feels tight. Is that normal?
The chest congestion and the headache with your arm pain suggest a viral respiratory infection. The headache is better as u said, but the head cannot be swollen. If you are coughing up mucous, then take good steam inhalations three times daily with an expectorant cough syrup about 10ml three times and rest with lots of fluid supplements. If still not better than do a Chest X-ray and see a chest physician

Hello, You seem to be experiencing the pill effects, though rib pain may be non-related.

I went SCUBA diving with a rented regulator (the piece you put in your mouth ) on the 25th. That night I realized my lower left tooth was hurting, much akin to wisdom tooth growth. I woke up yesterday with white and clear bumps on my outer gum that resemble the blisters which show up on skin because of fever blisters. I had to use the same regulator yesterday for my certification and this morning my gum has several small, shallow holes where the blisters burst or were rubbed away by the rubber. It is not swollen but it is tender when pressure is exerted. My teeth do not hurt, but under my chin behind the jaw bone is also tender. There is no swelling to speak of. The dive shop puts rented gear in a tank of Mean Green to disinfect everything before renting it out. I called to ask if they had heard of this situation occurring before and no one seems to know anything about this. Thanks for your help!
Hi, Sometimes when there is already bacteria in the teeth and the nerve of the tooth is also irritated then going under pressure like scuba diving or airplane/flight, can lead to pain in that particular tooth. I would recommend you to visit your dentist for the same. The dentist may take a X-ray to determine if there is a cavity or an old filling that needs to be changed. You have maybe given a dosage of antibiotics for the same which will also help with the pain under your chin. The infection in the tooth may be the cause for lymphadenitis i.e.: infection of lymph nodes which you are feeling behind the jaw bone, under the chin resulting in tenderness. As for the ulcers, rubber regulators can abrade the mucosa and result in ulcers. They will go on their own once you use a Betadine mouthwash (not an alcohol based one as it will cause irritation) along with warm saline gargles. Also, you should include lots of green leafy vegetables to increase your vitamin intake and body resistance. Regards

HI, I been having a ache like feeling in the center of my chest and my left arm has been aching off and on. my arm only aches on my shoulder elbow and sometimes my wrist and fingers and I have a burning feeling between my shoulder and elbows at times.The Dr did a ekg,blood work and took xrays and everything came back normal so why does my chest and arm still hurt
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. In my opinion it is muscular pain only. Since your cardiac and pulmonary work up Is normal, it seems muscular pain mostly. So try to follow these steps for better symptomatic relief in muscular pain. 1. Avoid heavy weight lifting and strenuous exercise. 2. Avoid bad postures in sleep. 3. Take good painkiller and muscle relaxant. 4. Apply warm water pad on affected site.

About a week ago, I went into the Er , and they said I had an execution, now the infection had nothing to do with my sharp pains. In jan, I had my appendix removed, so the pains on my left side couldn t of been that. Now, my pains feel worse, and it s only when I eat, and when I lay down. It s on my left side. I used the restroom just fine, but could I be backed up?
I am unable to understand you question properly but what I can gather is that you have had an appendectomy in Jan, and now you are having left sided abdominal pains. First, the appendix is on the right side, so your pain cannot be explained because of the surgery. I would be able to answer your question better, if you let me know your age and whether you are having any bowel or bladder disturbances.

I have macular degeneration and get frequent injections in my eyes, the numming drug is Proparacaine, I am concerned since i noticed that it affects my mental acuity..........and i have to drive myself home..........I have not had any problems however, should I be in an accident, my fault or not..... would the insurance company consider the fact that i have Proparacaine in my system the same as someone who has used alcohol?????
Hi, Thankyou for providing the brief history of you. As you are having macular degeneration, it is a painful condition to bear with. The vision is totally very bad and only the person undergoing will know. Also, for macular degeneration the Steroid injections are effective to a certain extent, but the healing of the issue is totally depended upon the body. With steroid injection only the symptomatic treatment can be done and nothing more to reverse the degeneration process. I will advise you to do regular general body exercises, take oxygen therapy, do breathing exercises, meditation and allow the body to utilize its own natural medicine produced within to help control the degeneration process. In my clinical practice, I have seen cases with macular degeneration and performing the combination of therapy I mentioned, it has got some benefits in the patients, but to be honest the reversal process will surely take time. Patience is what needed. RegardsJay In Chat Doctor.

For years, I periodically have some heart palpitations with tightness in the center of my chest. Heart test show not much going on, I just deal with them when I get them. Today however, I had a MRI for my lower back. I felt fine during the test but afterwards my chest ached. Similar to esophageal spasms, but I also had heart palpitations. My heart rate is about 120-134 bpm and I keep needing to deep sigh breathe every five minutes or so. I am 61 and was just sitting watching TV when I finally was concerned enough to check. I also have been hearing my heart pound below my ears on and off for the last month or so. I have a follow up with my Heart Dr. But not until Middle of July. Do I need to be concerned about this today?
Hi Welcome to Chat Doctor. I understand your query and concern. Rapid heart rate and Dizzy spells can be a definite feature of heart rhythm disturbances. Irregular heartbeat is known to alter the blood supply to the brain leading to impaired function in a transient way. Few Chat Doctor.

Hello doctor, I am a hard-working man in my mid-60s. Two years ago a 15 lb street light fell on my head, a 10 feet drop. Since then I have been having a problem with my ear, a dimmed echo in my head when I speak and frequent high pitched ringing that leads to aggravating headaches. This could not be solved by the doctors and nothing was found in any tests such as MRI, and CT.Unfortunately, it is been a real struggle. I do not sleep well, and it is burdening my life. Is that a known problem? Could it be treated? Any help and advice could make a big difference.
Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor forum. Tinnitus is often described as a ringing in the ears like roaring, clicking, hissing, or buzzing which cannot be attributed to an external source. Post-traumatic tinnitus usually follows head and neck injuries. Do you have tinnitus in both the ears or in one ear? Any history of hearing loss? Any triggers like exposure to loud noise? Does loud noise or loud music hurt you? Well, for treating your tinnitus other causes for tinnitus need to be ruled out. Compacted ear wax. ChatDoctor. Management involves a multidisciplinary approach. Good to know your CT (computed tomography) and MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) being absolutely normal. I would suggest you go to an ENT specialist for audiometry to see for any hearing loss. Ear wax removal if any.

I had a chest xray last sept.28,2015 and the result is minimal residual fibrosis left lobe. I would like to know what was the cause of that findings. On the medical clinic I went with for medical exam as well (Sept.29,2015), I was told to undergo sputum examination for AFB smear and culture. Will there be a significant abnormal result in sputum exam to be detected? I m so worried!
HelloFindings suggests minimal fibrosis in left lung. Fibrosis is a healed stage and generally this specific finding doesn't require any treatment. However, your clinician may advise investigations to exclude any persistent infection. Sputum and AFB smear is advised to exclude tuberculosis. You may need clinical correlation and I don't expect any adverse findings. Get well soon. Take Care Chat Doctor.

I have a rash that appeared on my arm a few days ago. First it was red bumps I thought were mosquito bites but they didn t itch until I put alcohol on it. The next day it spread down my side lightly aND at the top of my other arm. What could this be??
Hi, It may be lichen ultimatum.also called popular urticaria. Consult the dermatologist for the perfect diagnosis and proper treatment. It may be due to hypersensitivity reaction to insects. Take antihistamines like levocetirizine 10 mg daily. You may also take oral steroids in tapering dose. Apply soothing lotion like calamine lotion. Keep away yourself from insects. Avoid contact with soap. Hope this helps. Chat Doctor.

Hi, Thank you for posting your query. I have noted your symptoms. You have a mild seizure disorder, as you have had only two episodes of seizures in the past 25 years. I do not understand by "the test result was not satisfactory". Please explain what was the test, and what was its result? Please upload it here. As far as I am concerned, you are seizure-free for two years while on option (phenytoin), so, it is good news. I agree that alcohol is not good, so, it is better not to re-start it. Also, keep yourself tension-free and get adequate sleep at night to prevent any recurrence of seizures. I hope my answer helps. Please get back if you have any follow-up queries or if you require any additional information. Wishing you good health, Chat Doctor. Ly/

Hi, it seems that your child has probably got stomach infection.

Hello, My husband is a type 11 Diabetic , he is going to have Surgey on his Torn Aorta next month, suddenly today he right leg started hurting with pain and now it feels cold ,with a small amount of whitish color , his left leg is normal , could this be a possible sign of a blood cot ...???:(
Hello! Welcome on Chat Doctor! I understand your concern and would explain that his symptoms may be related to peripheral arthropathy. An arterial thrombosis could not be excluded too. I recommend going to the ER for a careful physical examination, a Doppler ultrasound of the leg vessels and some blood lab tests (complete blood count, PCR, sedimentation rate, D-Dimmer, blood electrolytes). If an arterial blood clot is diagnoses, a vessel intervention should be performed urgently. Hope to have been helpful! Feel free to ask any other questions whenever you need! Greetings!

Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Yes, you are right. Kidney stone can not cause this kind of chest pain. In my opinion, you are mostly having musculoskeletal pain. But better to rule out Pulmonary causes first. So get done chest x-ray and PFT (Pulmonary Function Test). If both are normal then no need to worry about any major diseases. Your chest pain is mostly due to musculoskeletal cause. So avoid heavyweight lifting and strenuous exercise. Avoid movements causing pain. Take painkiller and muscle relaxant Chat Doctor. Apply warm water pad on affected areas. 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.

I was curious on the chances of getting someone pregnant is when the female is on birth control , the male uses a condom, and the male does not ejaculate inside of the female. The situation being birth control taken between 9:40 and 9:45pm, a new condom carefully put on, and not ejaculating inside the female. What are the chances?
Hello, There is no chance of pregnancy in dual protection (condom and birth control pill) without ejaculation inside vagina. So don't be much worried. Pregnancy is possible only, if unprotected sexual intercourse is done with ejaculation around ovulation time in regular period. Ovulation occurs approx 14 days before due date. Practice safe sex by using safe period/OCP/Condom etc. to avoid unwanted pregnancy & unnecessary vaginal bleeding. Be well.

hello, my daughter has been running a fever between 103 and 104 the whole day, her nose is a little bit runny. she doesnt have any other symptoms, i asked her if anything else is hurting she said no. she is 2 years old will be 3 in feb. and is about 36 or 37 lbs. i have given her ibuprofen 3 times every 6 hours. i am on the line where i am not sure whether i should go to the hospital or stay at home and see if she can fight the sickness herself. please help Thanks!
Hi Dear, Understanding your concern. As per your query your child has symptoms of runny nose and fever which is due to inflammation and blockage of sinuses leading to upper respiratory tract infection. It could be due to coinfection and impaired immunity as well. Need not worry. I would suggest you to visit pediatrician once. You should get blood tests and culture of sinuses done which can help in correct diagnosis. You should get X-ray chest done along with allergy test to find out exact cause and start treatment. Furthermore, you should complete course of treatment of antibiotics along witChatDoctorbination of anti-inflammatory medication. Avoid taking outside food. Hope your concern has been resolved.

SInce 1 month i had been Having 3 boiled eggs everyday in breakfast but , ever since i started having boiled eggs in my breakfast i have been having hea boils all over my back and in my face too is it beacause of the eggs or my stomach is not clean ?
Welcome to hellcat magic Chat Doctor. . it’s though a very rare incidence but yes there have been reports of egg allergy and most of them were to the people who consumed egg yolks (whole egg)Things to do: (1) First stop using egg for ten days.if issues resolve it means eggs are culprit(2) Start taking just egg white not the yolk if no issue arises it means yolk was the culprit not the whole egg.(3) if even egg white causes issues then stop eggs and use other protein sources like red beans .pulses. Chicken .fish stopping egg does not resolve the issue then your suspicion about egg being culprit was wrong may be its some new med.diet...cloth.or place you have just came in contact with try to find out the causing agent and contact your physician.plus we at Chat Doctor are always there to help you:)I hope this would be helpful.

I am 53, have taken treatment for high blood pressure for years, have high cholesterol and my father died at 51 of coronary occlusion. I have recently had a few chest/epigastric pains and had a clear ECG, electrocardiogram and a good 24 hour BP monitor-average 119/68. I have lost a stone in two months, walk for 30 minutes at least 4 times a week and have reduced my dietary fats-also take Benecol. However I am terrified of having a heart attack-is there anything else I can do-I do NOT smoke!!
Hi, You should maintain your blood sugar, lipid profile and blood pressure under control. Continue what you are doing. In addition, avoid day to day stress. Try meditation, relaxation techniques as deep breathing exercises. Do not take stress, if you keep your risk factors under control, there is a little risk of a heart attack. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Thanks for your query at Chat Doctor! I am Infectious Disease Specialist! I went through your query! You don't need to worry as your friend has taken treatment.

hi, i saw some blood after my bf fingered me two days ago. the blood was like the blood i see during the first day of my period. my period is on the 7th 3-4 days from today, i had a test today it came out negative. i wanted to know if its accurate, and if the blood i saw earlier was pregnancy spotting?
HI, I understand your concern. Spotting is usually faint pink to red. It may subside in few hours to a couple of days. *The spotting you has on the said day can be- - Internal injury/ scratching while figuring, - implantation bleeding. * Pregnancy test will not be reliable so early. You ACN do it - - Blood HSG test in laboratory around your expected date of periods. - Urine pregnancy test (home) after a weeks delay in periods. You will only confirm the spotting to be pregnancy spotting (implantation bleeding) after + ve pregnancy test. Thanks.

Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor forum. As you describe it appears to be the food poisoning, means infection of the foods, they need not be the junk food related. Sometimes the home foods also get infected due to storage problem. I advise you to consult a doctor for diagnosis and treatment. He may need to have infusion of I.V.fluids for correction of deny Chat Doctor.

I am HCV positive but they arent recommending TX until the newer treatment comes out in a few years. My question is I have a large sore on the roof of my mouth. This occured about four months ago. I was prescibed some antiseptic mouthwash and to rinse with Benedryl and Milk of Mag. mixed together - but why am I getting them. They are incredibly painful and I can not wear my denture. My throat is sore also....
Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query, the soreness on the palate could be secondary to fungal infection like candidiasis or denture dermatitis. Consult your oral physician and get it ruled out from other lesions like tooth infection. If it is candida infection you can use topical candid mouth paint. Maintain oral hygiene. Do not use denture for a week. Wear only when it is absolutely necessary. During nighttime it has to be removed. I hope y answer will help you. Take care.

Hello.I arrived last night from the night shift and hit my teeth with the toothbrush against my lower teeth (ie, between teeth and gum just at the gumline ... it has now bled!) and now Im afraid that the tooth dies. Can that happen through the hit, or was he too weak? Have you ever heard of such a case? Or one probably, even had?How should I proceed further and not allowing it to die? (wanted to scrub the chewing surfaces), and then slipped and hit it! Is it very bad? I dont want my tooth to become dark and dead.. :( And the dentist aren`t open here.
Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Read your query. The impact of the tooth brush trauma will not usually lead to the tooth to be dead, though it may have caused the gums to get bruised and cause the bleeding. Relax, and do not try to hurt it more. Do salt water gargling. Application of an oral topical gel will help relieve the symptoms. Once the dentist office opens you can have it reviewed. Hope this was useful. Thanks and regards.

Hi, Its normal for eggs not to rupture in few of the cycles. Additionally, not all cases of egg rupture can be seen on ultrasound. Sometime what you see is not unruptured egg but the corpus luteum. (Which normally forms after the egg is ruptured). Still some cases of repeated cyst formation(egg not getting ruptured) might be due to either endometriosis or adhesions around ovary. Both can be diagnosed by laparoscopy. If you are very anxious, you can go for laparoscopy.

I was 100% health with no asthama symptoms. Also, was very active.Please let me now why i get asthama problems only in bangalore? I am taking budecort and asthelin. Also, have started Sudarshan Kriya daily(25 mins). I want to be healthy and active again. Please show me the way
Hello. Thank you for asking at Chat Doctor. I went through your history and would like to make suggestions for you as follows:1. First, to respond to your query, why symptoms in Bangalore, I would like to mention that flora of Bangalore is quite different from that of Delhi. So the pollen you are exposed in Bangalore are quite different. Another reason, of course, Bangalore ranks high in air pollution and is allergic disorders & asthma are quite common in Bangalore. Of course Delhi is also polluted. Maybe the area where you live/work in Bangalore is particularly polluted more. 2. Regarding treatment, I almost agree with regular Decor (Budesonide - inhaled corticosteroid, a controller type of inhaler) and Stalin (Albuterol - a rescue type of inhaler, to be used on as-and-when-needed basis). I would like to emphasize on technique of using inhaler as if it is not perfect, there is a chance that adequate amounts of Chat Doctor. 3. Were I treating you, I would add regular montelukast in your treatment which may reduce your inhaler requirement.4. I would also suggest you allergy testing which may help you identify the substances causing allergies to you and also to know the measures to avoid them. Based on allergy testing, an Allergist-Immunologist may prescribe you allergen specific immunotherapy which works on immune system to improve your allergy symptoms on long term basis.5. I would also suggest you regular breathing exercises (including Yoga & Panama) and a healthy diet rich in vitamins & minerals (adequate amounts of green leafy vegetables, fruits, sprouts, etc.) which will gradually improve your lung capacity & immunity respectively on a long run.6. Please try to avoid exposure to dusts, smokes & air pollution as much as possible. Hope above suggestions will be helpful to you. Should you have any other concern, please feel free to ask at Chat Doctor. Wish you the best of the health. Thank you & Regards.

Hello, as the pain is excruciating and has occurred suddenly, heart might not be the first cause, however acute myocardial infarction should be ruled out with an ECG. In high probability it may be a nerve pain, due to some Co existing cervical spondylitis. Do rule out the same.

Hi, thank you for putting up your query on Chat Doctor. As per your history, you are suffering from hair loss for which you are already on medication.I would like to inform you that, yes it may take time for your hair to regrow. But you will be able to see some results at least in 6 months. Since, you are getting no results, I would advise:-- discuss with your dermatologist to investigate for your hair loss like routine CBC and thyroid check up.-- you can also go for procedures like monotherapy, platelet rich plasma therapy. After consulting your dermatologist.-- also immunomodulators can be tried only after consulting your doctor.-- also, take a healthy diet rich in proteins and green leafy vegetables and fresh fruits may help. Wishing you good health. Thank you.

I have been extremely dizzy all day - if I move my head quickly I have some blurred vision. My blood pressure this morning was 100/60. I take meds for high blood pressure. My doctor is off today should I try to get in touch with her or go to hospital.
Dear-thanks for using our service, I will try to help you in your medical concern.First, your blood pressure is in the low range, so any change in position or movement of the head can make you dizzy and produce the blurred vision. Most likely, you need to have changes in your blood pressure medications in order to get better control. Other possibility of dizziness is a laryngitis which is an inflammation in the inner ear which controls equilibrium, but this is less likely. Benign positional vertigo is another cause of dizziness when moves the head hope that my advice will be helpful. Chat Doctor.
