I am so sorry to hear about this increased levels of bilirubin that your child has. Garden would increase the conversion of bilirubin to forms that can easily be excreted for the body. This would be helpful. However, I believe phototherapy would be a better and a more rapid solution to this. I hope this ad Chat Doctor.

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | I have heart palpitations and my blood pressure went up to 150/90 and as a rule i have low blood pressure. I took a herbal calming tab called removit recommend by my doctor. Stopped taking the meds and blood pressure has come down but still have the heart palpitations. What should i do? | Hello! Thank you for asking on Chat Doctor! I read carefully your question and understand your concern. Your symptoms seem to be related to anxiety. The fact that your symptoms were relieved by remote is another in argument of this cause. But, as your palpitations are persistent, I would recommend consulting with your GP for a careful physical examination, a resting ECG and some blood lab tests (complete blood count, thyroid hormone levels, cortisol plasma levels, kidney and liver function tests, blood electrolytes, etc.), to exclude other possible metabolic causes. An ambulatory 24-48 hours ECG monitoring and a cardiac ultrasound may be needed if suspicions of a possible cardiac arrhythmia are raised. If all the above tests result normal, I would the main reason of this symptomatology would be just pure anxiety. In such case, I would recommend you to consult with a specialist of this field to help you manage anxiety. Psychotherapy or an antidepressant may be helpful. Hope to have been of help!

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | my mother accidentaly drank some kerosine. she is diabetic...the next day..she went diilusional for about 5 minutes. the ambulance said her blood sugar had dropped to 40..since then within the last 2 weeks she has had 3 more of these dillusional episodes..this did not start happening until she drank the kerosine..what happening.what should we do. | Hello, thanks for the query. Can you elaborate what exactly you mean by use of term delusional? Is your mother still in hospital or discharged? Based on my impression; Your mother is suffering from a condition known as delirium which has occurred in her case due to fluid-electrolyte imbalance/hepatic damage/blood dysplasia (in simple terms, some changes in bodies balance/homeostasis). Delirium is characterized by altered sleep-wake schedule, intermittent bouts of auspiciousness, ill formed delusions, hallucinations, impaired activity or overt aggression alternating with periods of normalcy (known as lucid interval). Treatment of delirium is diagnosed & treat underlying cause; hence get her to a hospital immediately & request doctor to assess her for delirium using a simple tool known as mini mental state examination (MUSE). She will get better soon. Good Luck |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | Today I got a call from my uriologists nurse following a prostate biopsy. She wants me to come in to the office. I asked her if the test showed any signs of cancer and she said yes. I have an appointment with him in 10 days. But right now I m worried and want to know what to expect and what Im up against. Can you give me some answers? Jay | Hi Jay. I can understand your anxiety and worry. Why was your prostatic biopsy performed. What was your PSA level. Now that your prostate cancer has been diagnosed, staging investigations are required to see if the disease is limited to prostate or if it has spread to other parts of body. A bone scan, MRI scan of pelvis and CT Scan abdomen & pelvis may be required. Further treatment plan will depend upon the stage of the disease. I hope your question has been answered.

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | Hi, I sometimes get these really painful, sharp pains in my chest. I get short of breath during them. They can last for a several seconds to a minute or so. It is located in the middle to left of my chest. I have normal blood pressure and cholesterol and not over weight. But, my dad died of a massive heart attack of the age of 59 and I am almost 50. | Hello and thank you for using Chat Doctor. I carefully read your question and I understand your concern. I will try to explain you something and give my opinion. You should know that typical heart pains have some characteristics. They are usually retro-sternal pains likes quizzing, tightness or heaviness. They may irradiate to both arms, neck and jaw. Furthermore, they last from 5 to 20 minutes. Pains that last with seconds that come and go are not typical heart pains. Even though, as you have hereditary history of ischemic heart disease if I was your treating doctor I will recommend some examination like - a cardiac echo to evaluate heart function and walls. - a stress test to exclude ischemic heart disease. After these we can be sure that this is nothing to worry about. Hope I was helpful. Best regards, Chat Doctor. |

I must say there isn t any pain . | Hello, Welcome to the magical world of health care, I went through your query, and I feel you have developed neural weakness in your shoulder, in such cases, the effect of improvement is time bound, and you should see your doctor at the earliest, because if the critical time is lost than things will not be in your control.

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | I get abdominal pain for about 7-10 days around the time I would be ovulating every month. This used to be controlled by birth control pills. For the last 3 months, while still on the pill (Natazia), those same symptoms came back and ADDITIONALLY, i get flu-like symptoms, mainly body aches. I am 39. The pain in the abdomen is on both sides, often times starts as "burning/inflamation" sensation and then results in general pain, feeling bloated, difficulty when sitting down or riding a car.... Can this be hormonal imbalance? Any other suggestions what may be causing this? What test would you suggest?Thank you. | Hi. Thanks for your query and an elucidated history. Obviously you have to undergo ultrasonography - routine ; at the time of pain and at the time of expected date of ovulation. Also, other tests as may be required to rule out other problems like pelvic inflammatory disease, gastroenteritis and so on depending upon the other symptoms a Doctor would ask after a clinical examination. Also go for hormonal tests. The treatment will depend upon the results. |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | Hi, Ive been noticing for a while (perhaps around a year) that I have a small soft bump on the edge of my upper lip on the right side. I havent bitten myself or hurt myself in any way that I can remember. I thought it was just the shape of my lip on that side for a while, then it seems to have grown a little. This morning I noticed it is coming to a small head (a little like a pimple), but it is not painful in any way and when I run my tongue along it, it just feels like a little bump. Could it be anything serious like cancer or is it more likely to be a mucocele?? Please advise. Thank you | Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query. The soft tissue lump over the upper lip could be a muscle or fibrous or a fibrosis muscle(since you are giving history of one year). The muscle will appear as a soft swelling with a bluish tinge. Usually it ruptures and again comes back. Consult an oral physician and get it ruled out. It is a benign lesion nothing to worry. You can get it excised under local anesthesia. I hope my answer will help you, take care. |

I was wondering if second-hand smoking (both from cigarettes and marijuana) affect the results my medicine gives since some friends I hang out with smoke frequently. | Hello, While second-hand smoke can affect your health, especially your lungs, it should not significantly affect the medications you are taking. Smoking can also increase the risk for blood clotting, which would work against the Coumadin you are taking, but I doubt second-hand smoke would have any major effect.

I have no cardiac issues etc. I was DX with systemic yeast infection and am allergic to tons of foods now. But I m sure that its not that. I think its my stage 3 pannis which is huge and it lays on my legs when sitting. I m fine when sitting but when I walk or stand it is terrible pain. What are the tx for this?? I m trying to loose weight now but that is not going to cut it because I am so far from goal. I ve only lost 5 pds in 1 week. 370pds. I also have knee pain from meniscus tear that = osteoarthritis . | Hi ! The intensity of the pain when you stand of walk as described by you points to the need for you to be clinically examined by a general surgeon/family physician to exclude any abdominal infection/peritonitis which is neglected can have grave consequences. Once it is excluded, it could be a recurrence of your systemic yeast infection, for which you have to re-start your treatment on consultation with your treating doctor. In the meantime, you should continue your efforts in reducing your weight which is also of much importance in your case. Thanks and good luck. |

Along with negative thinking and worries about health, it becomes dangerous. Once your doctors said, you have nothing to worry, you must believe them and get back to work. Rest we shall later.

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | My dad (82) showed sudden temper flares, mood swings and aggressive behaviour. Psychiatrist prescribed oleanz rapitab 2.5 initially once a day. That did not change his behaviour. After 4 days he was taken to the doctor again. Dosage was increased to 5mg twice daily. Now after 5 more days of increased dosage, he is his usual calm and quiet self. How long should he take the medication? Will one month s treatment be enough? He doesn t have diabetes or hypertension. Will taking this drug increase the risk of diabetes or hypertension? | Hi, I read your query. Before I go on to answer, I would like to mention that I would have wanted to know if your father is suffering from any forgetfulness too. That would be important because in that case it would be important to treat him accordingly with some anti-dementia medication. Currently, it would be difficult to say how long he would need olanzapine. It would be required to review him periodically and take a decision accordingly. Olanzapine doesn't increase the risk of hypertension although long term intake can lead to dyslipidemia and increased risk of diabetes. However, regular monitoring will help in taking care of that. Hope this information was helpful. Best wishes. |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | Hello My menstrual cycle is reasonably regular but has been flactuating from 28 to 32 days. My last cycle started Dec 14 2014. Yesterday on the 22nd day while having sex the condom broke with semen getting inside. I am considering taking postinor but would not want to expose my fertility to unnecessary risks as I read that the consequences could be quite unpleasant and dangerous. Information is very different from this medication being absolutely safe to causing infertility.i am 27 so would like to have children in next couple years. Could you please advise. Thank you very uh in advance. | Hello, Thanks for trusting us with your health concern. Ovulation occurs two weeks prior to the onset of the next menstrual period and this is the fertile phase when pregnancy can occur. Since you have 28-32 day cycles, your ovulation would occur from day 14 to day 18. The ovum lives only for 24 hours. Since you had the intercourse on day 22, you are safe. There is no need to consume the emergency contraceptive pill. The pill contains high dose of progesterone and hence can lead to hormone imbalance. Repeated pill usage can lead to infertility problems in the future. Hope this helps. |

It feels fine but I am not sure what symptoms I should be looking for.My pulse feels strong and even at around 58bpm. How long after the shock is there any risk.Appreciate you answerLuke | Hi, If shock was mild no damage is done. What I guess from your description, there is a very low probability of any problem occurring after this. So it doesn't looks like a matter of worry. Shock does disrupt heart rhythm but only during the period when shock was passing through body, once it has already passed and no damage done, I think you are safe. Hope I have answered your query.

It always sounds normal when just sitting around you know when the doc listens..Any items for me? | Hello thanks for posting at Chat Doctor. Basically you have symptoms of palpitations and fast heart rate when you exert. This may be related to cardiac cause also. When the heart arteries are narrowed, when you ever the heart nets faster to cope up with the demand. Please do a stress test which requires you to walk on a treadmill while your heart rate and ECG is continuously being monitored. This will show whether the heart really gets fast more than normal range during exertion. Next I would also like to see a thyroid profile on you. Thyroid abnormalities can also cause fast heart rate and palpitations. Please do the above tests and revert. Daily exercises like walking, cycling, jogging, swimming can also increase the stamina and can help in keeping heart rate under control. Wishing you good health. Regards |

Pain is worse when I first stand up. Pain also gets bad if I stand on leg too long. | Hello, As you had a fall directly over the knee, there might be inflammation in the knee joint due to ligament sprain. You should immobilize the knee and use hot water fermentation, keep it elevated over a pillow while in a lying position. This procedure will help to reduce the pain as well as the swelling. In case if you are not diabetic then you can even use ice for reducing pain. Only people who don't have diabetes we advise icing or else only hot water to avoid complications. Pain will be present and so does the swelling, due to the impact to the joint there will be a soft tissue Inflammation.

I have had this for over 3 months now and been to the hospital a couple times but never any improvement. I just want to get rid of this so I can start to get sleep at night and be able to leave the house with out my entire hurting from the infection. | Hi. Going by the sites that you have mentioned, more than the condition that you mention, I can think of an edematous skin condition called seborrhea eczema. It usually starts behinds the ears and can then spread to the other hair bearing areas of the body. I think you need to get your diagnosis revised. Since both topical and oral antibiotics are not helping, so it favors an edematous etiology. You might need to apply topical antifungal-steroid Combination creams over the affected area. Do not use oil over the affected area. Take oral antihistamines for the associated itching. Hope it helps Chat Doctor. |

I was only in the bathroom for about 1-2 minutes following each treatment. Did I do something to my lungs? Please advise | Thanks for asking your question I completely understand your question yes bleach can cause allergic symptoms. You need to take some leukotreine antagonists like montelukast and some antibiotics like lifetime for a week after consulting a pulmonologist. He can request for a chest X-ray also to rule out any other disease progressing in your chest. Short term exposure leads to allergy but long term and for long duration can lead to toxicity and some chronic changes, so better to avoid next time thanks / regards feel free to ask more questions may god bless you with good health |

As you are on demo shot, the possibility of pregnancy is less. The possible causes for your spotting are :- Side effects of the demo shot. It can cause intermenstrual spotting, break through bleeding as side effects. -Pelvic inflammatory disease. Chronic pelvic inflammation can present with cervical erosion. And that can lead to spotting, pain abdomen etc. - Post coital tear. Can present with spotting and pain. So, better to consult gynecologist once and get examined. By examination causes like post-coital tear, cervical erosion can be ruled out. If your doctor recommends go for ultrasound. Ultrasound will help in ruling out the possibility of pregnancy and also any endometrial abnormality. Then with your doctors' advice you can go for additional dose of hormones to control the spotting. Take care. |

Thank you for your help. | Hellcat 46, you are obviously aware that conception will be difficult, if not impossible.IVF is the only way ahead for you. Your partners' semen analysis is essential due to the testicular injury. Also, you can assess your egg forming capacity by testing your ovarian reserve. This is done by estimating AFC (astral follicular count) on ultrasound, measuring hormones like AMH (anti mullein hormone) and FSH and LH on day 2. This would tell you if your own eggs can be used for Four endometrial status needs to assessed for IVF also. Please consult a reputed Infertility Specialist and go for detailed testing and evaluation at the earliest, kindly do not waste more time. Take care. |

I had blood taken at the hospital and the only thing was my glucose was 132 which I was told was a little high. I did eat and have a large soda 2 hours before. I went and had more blood drawn at a lab after fasting the next day. I m currently waiting on the results. Also my neurologist schedule me another appointment for a EMG in 10 days, because he thought if we did it any sooner it would not show anything. Is there anything else that should being done? | Hello, You may be suffering from an acute desalinating event which would be most likely occurring in the brain (and sounds to be purely sensory in nature) by your description, although the spinal cord would also be a possible location to look for problems. In my opinion, what you really need that would be obtainable NOW are imaging studies of the brain and spinal cord (MRI with gadolinium contrast) to rule out a type of desalinating process in the brain or something such as transverse myelitis in the spinal cord. Frankly, I don't understand the purpose of the EMG since you say you have normal reflexes and no muscle weakness. Nothing will show on an EMG in 10 days from now that won't show up today BUT more importantly I wouldn't do that test anyway by the first intention simply because it is invasive (i.e. not very comfortable) and not likely to show anything more than you could diagnose with good clinical judgment if a solid history and examination were done. EMG/NCV studies are MOST helpful when muscles are WEAK or reflexes are severely altered not as helpful when only sensory changes are occurring. I would do the preliminary imaging studies, blood work is fine, waiting for a little time is fine as well but I don't think an EMG is something I would plan for unless you became noticeably weaker.

Can this be causing my symptoms? | Hi, Thanks for writing in. It is possible that the venous Angola might be causing all your symptoms. The venous Angola is an entanglement of vessels, and it is in the back of the brain in right parietal and occipital lobes. The size of the lesion is not known, and the symptoms might vary with the size of the Angola. Since it is located in the right occipital lobe, and it is causing problems on the left side.

If you are young nothing to worry it may be due to UTI bur if you are of elderly age it can be malignancy also. So please always mention your age.

Alcohol if you are taking then please avoid it2. If you are obese or overweight you need to reduce your weight3. Other common and treatable causes like Hepatitis B and C virus, Serum ceruloplasmin for Wilson disease especially if you are young, ANA and SMA for autoimmune disease4.

Certainly a year of antibiotics should have taken care of most infections, depending on what antibiotic was used. Unusual infections or internal infections (e.g., abscess in a muscle or organ) might cause a persistent elevated WBC, as might a chronic inflammatory condition. You would probably be having other symptoms, such as persistent fevers, pain, or weight loss, if that were the case. You don't say how high the WBC count is, so it is hard to assess its severity. Be sure the Cushing disease is well treated first. If you are still having elevated WBC, you might need further evaluation or need to see a hematologist to get a specific diagnosis.

Anyway, you should also exclude other reasons for your headaches like sinus problems, refractive errors etc. It is because of the asthma that you feel tired even after rest. Since you stay in a cool place at high altitude where the atmospheric oxygen concentration is lower, you can use a nebulizer for better relief. Also, steroid inhalers are needed to prevent attacks as they reduce the need for bronchodilators which usually have unpleasant side effects. Permanent cure for asthma is not possible, but you can keep the symptoms at bay by avoiding triggering factors and taking anti-histamines whenever needed. You can try yoga and Panama when there are no attacks. Please consult a pulmonologist for further advice. Good luck. |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | On February 4th, I got my wisdom teeth pulled out and i was prescribed with 800mg of ibuprofen which i took every 6-8 hours for the pain and I took that for about 4-5 days I think. I was supposed to get my period on February 26, but I didn t. And I am not feeling any symptoms that I usually feel before my period. Is it possible that ibuprofen delayed my period? | Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query. As far as the ibuprofen is concerned regarding the delayed periods, there are no effects on the periods. But the dose what you have taken is high, usually it is administered at a dose of 400Β mg 3 times daily. The adverse effects can cause gastritis and stomach pain but not delayed periods. So consult a gynecologist and take an opinion. I hope my answer will help you, take care. |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | Hi there, i have recently been diagnosed with chlamydia in the downstairs reigon... when i was being consulted the specialist asked me if i had any chest pain, in which case at the time i didnt, however, i have now taken the medication but a slight pain has arrived to the top/center of the reigon around my heart?Is there any link between this or is it just diet/excersise choice etc?I am a 22yo male, active but smoke around a pack of 20 ciggarettes every two days. 6"5 and around 100kgs?? | Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Chlamydia infection can cause pneumonia (lung infection). And this pneumonia can cause pleuritic chest pain. This is the reason why doctor asked you about chest pain. Since you are a active smoker, you are at risk of lung infection (pneumonia). So in my opinion, you should definitely get done chest x-ray to rule out pneumonia as a cause for your chest pain. If chest x-ray is normal then no need to worry about pneumonia. This chest pain can be due to simple musculoskeletal pain. In any case, it is better to quit smoking as soon as possible. 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 have pressure and an achy feeling in my left lung and was told that was were the fluid build up is. Is this typical with pneumonia? | Hello hope the answer satisfies you. As you are telling that you have received treatment for uncomplicated pneumonia and since pneumonia is an infection of lung parenchymal which resolves with antibiotic treatment but symptoms as pleural effusion(fluid in outside cavity of lung) with pain during breathing(pleurisy) may persist for 2-3 weeks. You donor worry it will resolve as you are on treatment but obviously must try to quit smoking as besides simple chest infections and risk of cancer is increased in those people. |

Masturbation is a perfectly natural phenomenon but in limits. Twice a week is what behavioral sciences recommend. There is no need to be anxious. Life is full of exams. Just work hardest possible. Instead of wasting energy on whacking off, use it to concentrate and focus. Remember masturbation leads to post masturbatory psychosis and depression and that adds to your anxiety and impairs memory.

As you had an abdominal surgery and now the blood reports suggest that you have increased WBC this might be alarming for any infection. Also, for swelling of the feet and ankle I will advise you to raise the leg by keeping on the pillow. This will help correct the venous insufficiency. Also, this occurs due to any of the weak cardiac endurance and needs a thorough assessment and physical therapy for the same. In my clinical practice most cases respond well to physical therapy.

The Dr. had to stop the cath because of almost complete blockage of all main arteries, the aorta and cartoids. He said she also had calcification in her veins. She has 18% heart function. They were able to reverse the major stroke but she is suffering from the first one that she had prior to transfer. What is her prognosis? We aren t getting straight answers yet....thanks! | Hello and thanks for writing. I can understand your concern and would try to help you in the best possible way. Considering her advanced age and multiple co morbid conditions like heart attack, stroke, a heart functioning around 18% and multiple vessel atherosclerotic disease her prognosis is not very good. You have to understand that having multiple organ involvement is not a good thing and in her case as per the information her organs have been severely impaired. You may expect her to go into congestive heart failure considering her poor heart function and also sooner or later her kidneys may also be involved in the process. I suggest that you may consult a doctor and start palliative care for her so as do decrease the severity of the symptoms and provide temporary relief. Take a good care of her medications a would be on many, and she may even require help with her day-to-day activity. |

The week I was on antibiotics we used a condom, but the very next day I was off of the antibiotics we stopped using them. I think Im having pregnancy symptoms, but Im not sure if theyre just in my head. How likely is it that I could have gotten pregnant? | Hallow Baby, Mononessa is an oral birth control pill. It contains Ethanol estradiol and norgestimate which together prevent the egg release in women. If you are on Fondness regularly, the chances of pregnancy would be very remote as these oral contraceptive pills have very good success rate. What makes you think that you could be pregnant? Have you missed your period? If you have not, the thought of pregnancy could be because you may be worried about pregnancy. If you have missed your period, then wait for about a week or so. You should get period by that time. If still you do not get period, you may perform urine pregnancy test. Done earlier, this test may not be conclusive. Alternatively, you may detect the status by ultrasonography also, one week after the missed period. I hope you are satisfied, and your stress has been relieved. |

Enlarged inguinal lymph nodes are generally inflammatory in origin, usually due to infection around nearby area like your legs or groin. You might have small abrasion or infection around your anal area as per your history, it might be the source of the infection causing swollen lymph node. As a first line management you can do the following.1. Start a short course of antibiotics preferably "Tampico" for five to seven days 2. Analgesics like "ibuprofen" or "diclofenac" for pain.3. You can apply topical antibiotics in case of small wounds.4. Hot compresses over the affected area provide symptomatic relief.

Half an hour before going out, apply a sunscreen and reapply it every three to four hours. You may apply a compact powder over the sunscreen so that there is a Matt finish. I would recommend you to use a face wash twice a day ideally a one containing glycolic acid as it helps in exfoliation and to even out the skin tone.(e.g. : Mel awash face wash)At night you may apply a lightening cream containing 2% comic acid over the face before going to sleep. You may consult a dermatologist practicing cosmetology for few sittings of chemical peels for faster improvement. Hope I have answered your query. Take care. |

Therefore i was thinking about getting one of the implants instead. However, i have had a leep procedure done for level three cervical dysplasia and am still getting 6 month paps. Can I get an implant? | Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query. The erythema nodosum can be secondary to certain Chat Doctor. Consult an oral physician to rule out the cause of erythema nodosum. You can get the implant placed if there is no defect in the bone and sufficient amount of bone is present. You need to take CT or CBCT to see the amount of bone present and density of the bone. I hope my answer will help you take care. |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | Hi, My 8 and half month old daughter has been suffering from a cold on and off for over a month. occasionally she has a high temp. The past week somedays she doesnt eat and today is passing very runny stools. she is also extremely tired all the time. whats wrong with her please? | Hi....by what you say this looks like a recurring viral illness. I will explain to you how a viral illness behaves so that you can be more comfortable. 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. Regards - |

Also get done chest x-ray to rule out lung infection as lung infection can also cause hypotension and shortness of breath. |

Wanted to know if this is correct since on the internet I saw there are a number of side effects for this.Also wanted to knwo if this will effect if I plan pregnancy now? Please advice. | Hi, If you are trying for pregnancy your Serum TSH should be For others up to 5 milliunits / Lt is normal. Once started on medications, it will take some time for hormone levels to normalize. TSH levels should be rechecked after 1.5 myths. I advise you better wait till you get a normal level. Mostly your doctor will have to reduce the dose of Thermoform. In the meantime try to reduce weight, will help in better control of hormones. Don't worry about the side effects. That medicine is the hormone which your body needs & you will have more problems without it. Both high & low levels of thyroid can affect baby, so wait till it is normal. Check TSH after 1.5 myths of every dosage change, if normal repeat once in 6 myths- 1 yr. Once normal definitely go ahead with pregnancy. All the best Chat Doctor. |

Shes been running fevers up to 103, has a d-dimer of 798, night sweating, shortness of breath and very fatigued. She was given a chest x-ray today, that was clear. If no better tomorrow, her doc. said she has to have CT scan performed. She is a nurse so knows a lot about what could be going on. Could she have a blood clot? | Hellos you mentioned that she is having "influenza" and all these symptoms are also an indication of influenza. Abrupt onset of fever, severe myalgic / arthralgia, severe Chat Doctor. But the main question is type of influenza, so that proper medicine could be given.1 Seasonal influenza.2 Avian influenza.3 Novel Hβ N1 influenza. Since you mentioned that your sister is a nurse, so it is very difficult to say, which type of influenza, she is having. Tests are performed for detection of type of influenza.

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | I just came from the Oral Surgeon and he examined me for a small (no pain) smooth white spot in the vascular ducts on the underside of my tongue. He advised me to just continue to watch it and return in 3 months for reevaluation. I am trying to recall the name that he used to identify this spot. (something like Phibolist) He said it was a calcium deposit similar to a kidney stone. Do you possibly know the name of this stone? | Sialoliths may be the name mentioned to you. Have you been told that your salivary gland duct is blocked? Calcium deposits under the tongue are not uncommon. Your salivary flow is important to the health of your mouth. Salivary flow reduction can cause Chat Doctor. Wharton's Duct is located under the tongue. You can try to stimulate the flow of saliva by sucking on something sour such as a lemon. Increased flow can push out calcium deposits and prevent the need for surgical removal. A Phlebolith, by definition, is a calcification in a vein or blood vessel. Vascular malformations may present with these. Sometimes, although present at birth, these may become prominent or increase later in life. Swelling may become evident. The phlebitis may be seen on an x-ray. Additional studies including ultrasound and MRI may be required to determine vessel involvement. Hematomas are common with swelling, but less common with a phlebolith association in the mouth. |

So I smoked crystal meth for the first time Friday and after smoking it I had problems like not being able to catch my breath and get a full breath of oxygen in my lungs and I was wondering how long is it going to take to go away or if it will be like this permanently. Thanks. | Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your situation and problem. In my opinion you are having inhalation smoke induced bronchitis. Any form of smoke when inhaled can cause irritation, inflammation and this can cause bronchitis and breathing difficulty. So I advise you to consult pulmonologist and get done 1.

And treatment of bronchitis is based on severity only. You may need inhaled bronchodilators and antihistamines Chat Doctor. You will mostly be improved in 7 - 8 days. |
