ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | My daughter (21) studies in an Engg College at Ahmedabad (5th Sem.). She stays in an Private hostel as paying guest. We, her parents, reside in our home in NE India. She has been quite normal when she came home last vacation in July, 2010. In the last week of August she was down with viral fever & UTI. She was in the hospital from 2nd Sept. to 9th Sept. She started behaving quite unnaturally since 6th September. She first started lamenting that, due to her illness, a lot of money is being spent & her father is going to be poor. Then she started lamenting that she committed mistake in having an affair with a boy. She also told that the boy has threatened her. She started experiencing hallucination that her father is being beaten by police & goons. She told that the boy has told everyone that she was not a good girl. On 10th of Sept, when she was returning home by flight via Chennai, she fell sick at Chennai Airport. She was extremely drowsy & was subsequently hospitalised in Chennai. There she told that she had consumed 20 sleeping pills the night before though it was completely untrue. She was again sent to Ahmedabad with her mother on 19th Sept, 2010 to continue her study. She went to college on 20th but now she is bent on leaving the college & Ahmedabad. She has been telling that all the other students are neglecting her considering her a very bad girl, good students stopped talking to her, Boys are seeing her as a girl having bad character. Now she is telling that she cannot continue her study in the college with such humiliation. We believe that all these are her imagination only. But she is bent upon leaving the city & the college. What should we do? | Hi dear. I had gone through your query. I understand your concern. All symptoms indicate pathology in thought process. Maybe it is auspiciousness and maybe it is a kind of delusional thoughts. Thoughts need to be evaluated in details. There are various good psychiatrists in Ahmedabad. Consult them. Early treatment will bring fast and better recovery. Still if you have a query then feel free to ask. Thank you. |

I did not have any of these problems befor I started doing any dentist work. what is the solution? | Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor, Numbness may be due to facial nerve damage during local anesthesia administration. Ringing and deafness may be associated with improperly placed or high points in the crown placed, Also get the root canal treated teeth examined.

We have tried talking to him and inignore him when this happens . Any suggestions Thank you | Hello and Welcome to Ask A Doctor. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice. Some physical causes of bad behavior in a young child include:-a certain type of seizure-diarrhea due to an illness that causes inflammation of the large intestine-brain tumor-various medications A child can learn bad behavior by being allowed to wreck furniture, write on the wall, or ride tricycle around the room. He must have discipline. So when he is stopped from doing inappropriate or harmful things, he will not cry or have a temper tantrum. Your grandson needs love, affection, and security. When a child is behaving badly, unpleasant, bad-tempered, it is then he MOST needs loving. On some occasions child Chat Doctor. As soon as he shows any anger or self-injurious behavior, try holding him close to you and comfort him. After 8 to 12 attempts I recommend he be seen by his pediatrician. Hope I have answered your query. If you have any further questions, I will be happy to help. Arnold EDD, MD, FLAP |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | Yesterday I started to have stomach cramps in my lower abomin..It radiates from the right side to the middle. The sympotoms are better when laying down, but get worse when standing or walking. I also started my period, but have never had any problems with menstrual cramps prior. I am not sure if it will pass or if I should seek out a doctor as soon as possible. It is also tender to the touch, hurts more when I laugh or drive over bumpy roads. Thank you for your time. | Hi!! Need not worry. The abdominal pain that you are getting may be from menstrual cramps, or it may indicate a problem in a reproductive organ(uterus, ovary etc.). As of now try these home remedies to avoid prescription medications: Apply a heating pad to your lower belly area, below your belly button but never fall asleep with the heating pad on. Do light circular massage with your fingertips around your lower belly area. Chat Doctor. Follow a diet rich in complex carboy |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | My daughter is 17 years old, and her BP is 85 over 73 with heart rate of 100. Should I take her to an emergency room? She has a history of severe anemia that required blood transfusion that resolved. She has chronic abdominal pain, and has been a bit worse the last few days. | Hello! Welcome on Chat Doctor! Regarding your concern, I would explain that in case your daughter experiences such a low blood pressure for the first time and can not tolerate such conditions (she feels extremely exhausted and is not able to perform her daily physical activity), then you should take her to the nearest ER service for a timely fluid HY Chat Doctor. It is necessary to investigate the real nature of her chronic anemia (hemolysis, a chronic inflammatory disease, etc.) as it may explain the reason of her chronic abdominal pain (visceral organs' enlargement, etc.) Several lab tests should be done:- complete blood count,- PCR & ESR,- thyroid hormones level,- liver and renal function tests,- abdominal ultrasound,- fasting blood glucose,- hemoglobin electrophoresis, etc. You should discuss with her attending doctor on the above-mentioned issues.

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | My blood pressure was 157/102 and the machine started beeping. The PA recommended that I see my PCP. I had a cervical fusion about 13 days ago and was told that after surgery they had difficulty waking me and getting my bp under control. I have never had bp problems before but I have been experiencing a lot of stressors 2 days before my surgery and since. What can I do to lower my bp without medication and could the surgery have contributed to this too? | Hello, Thanks for posting your query on Chat Doctor ...* Brief Answer: surgery as a stress causes high blood pressure readings, diet and lifestyle modification are a good start*Explanation: My opinion is that high blood pressure on many occasions is an indication for control. That happens on many levels. First, be sure that high blood pressure is not secondary to any other diseases as Cushing or renal failure. Then, Diet with low salt and less fat content is crucial. Exercise and other healthy activities are also a mean to control blood pressure. If all that does not help, medications are a must. That is usually decided by your doctor according to your condition and comorbidities. Some Chat Doctor. Regular blood pressure monitoring is as important as starting treatment so that we could assess efficacy of the medication we started. I suggest my patients the following : measure blood pressure accurately away of stress or anxiety. The information provided by you is not sufficient to provide a good opinion. If someone comes to me with this condition I would ask them about other comorbidities and readings before surgery.*Conclusion: I suggest you adhere to good diet and avoid caffeinated |

After going through your query I came to know that you are suffering from cervical spondylitis and herniated discs. Now you are diagnosed with avascular necrosis(small vessel ischemic disease)of right hip. You want to know that can these all be due to trauma. In my view these are not related to trauma. Cervical spondylitis is a degenerative disease(aging), fall can be precipitating factor for herniated discs. Small vessel ischemic disease(avascular necrosis) is generally idiopathic(unknown cause). You can discuss with your treating Doctor about it. I do hope that you have found something helpful, and I will be glad to answer any further query. Take care. |

Not necessarily at the same time as the dull ache? Also get a metallic taste in mouth, occasionally? No heartburn or acid reflux. Sometimes bloating with gas. | Dear patient thanks for the question.Judging by your symptoms it seems to be a kidney disease. A build-up of wastes in the blood (called uremia) can make food taste like metal and cause bad breath. You may also notice that you stop liking to eat meat, or that you are losing weight because you just don't feel like eating. All you have to do is get your renal profile checked along with serum electrolytes and a diagnosis can be made hope this helped |

Unfortunately, in the 3 years after surgery I have had only one slight orgasm (nothing like it used to be). I am also still so tired during the day & am told to try harder.....is it all psychological (depression or still repercussions from the lyme disease treatment that ceased last October) or do othersshare my problem too. Thanks! | Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You had urine cancer, and you have gone for hysterectomy. Sexual pleasure and orgasm are not affected by this. However, age, mental stress, depression all can affect the orgasm sensation. So in my opinion it's not due to your surgery. You should consult your doctor for counselling.

Could it be a early sign off pregnancy? | Hi, Certain vaginal changes are bound happen during early pregnancy, but it is not possible to predict that you could be pregnant or not based on such changes alone. You need to take a urine pregnancy test after a week if you miss your periods or if it is delayed. If it comes positive, you need to confirm it by means of ultrasound scan investigation and clinical evaluation by consulting Gynecologist. Hope the information provided would be helpful.

You may need to do MRI spine with contrast again to see for nerve compression. Due to compression of this nerve root there can be pain associated with it. Previous surgery may lead to early degeneration around operated vertebrae. Another possibility of spinal canal stenosis leading to pain on standing. If your MRI shows disc bulge with nerve compression then re surgery may help. For these symptoms analgesic and neurotrophic like pregabalin and methylcobalamine medication can be started consulting your doctor. Till time, avoid lifting weights, Sit with support to back.

I am wondering what this could be related to, could it be hormones or something to do with my lymph nodes? | Hi, Breast pain associated with alteration of monthly periods is suggestive of hormonal balance. For the period issue you need to consult your gynecologist. Small lump at this stage is suggestive of fibroadenomas. If the lump expands rapidly then further investigation is required.Otherwise, a course of vitamin E and oil of evening primrose capsules is all that is required for at least 6 months. Regards |

We had a visit with a cardiologist who performed an echocardiogram and found nothing wrong. He also told him not to go to the marfans clinic. He is still having chest pains and is now unable to finish his track season. Could the echo miss something? | Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Normally echo is done in resting condition. This kind of resting echo can be normal despite having heart disease. So stress echo should be done. In this, patient is force to perform exertion like running and then echo is done. If you this is normal then no need to worry about heart diseases. Sometimes simple musculoskeletal pain is the cause.

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | Im 37 weeks pregnant and I noticed slight blood stains in my underwear.. I put a pad on and am still having blood stains.. I cant tell if this is from my vagina or my hemorrhoid, should I call the doctor or is there something I can do at home to tell the difference | Hello, and I hope I can help you today. One of the ways that you can possibly figure out where the bleeding is coming from is by putting a tampon inside. If, while wearing the tampon, you still see blood on your underwear then the bleeding is coming from your rectum. In that case, there is less to worry about as it is most likely from your hemorrhoids. To reduce the chances of your hemorrhoids causing bleeding, eat lots of fruits and vegetables and Chat Doctor. This will not harm the baby, but will rather make your stool softer said it is easier for you to have a bowel movement. If the tampon has blood on it than the bleeding definitely is coming from vagina. A small amount of bleeding can happen during late pregnancy as your cervix starts to soften to eventually prepare for labor. However, this type of blood should be dark brown or purple and mixed with mucus. If you are having bright red blood coming from your vagina, I would call your doctor for advice. If you have any risk factors for bleeding during pregnancy; such as being on blood thinners, having a low-lying or placenta prefix, or experiencing any other symptoms like uterine contractions it might be prudent for you to go to an emergency room for evaluation. I hope I was able to adequately answer your question today, and that my advice was helpful. Best wishes for the rest of the pregnancy, |

And also I have been detected with ulcerative colitis since three months and I am consuming melamine tab for that. At present my esr level is 25. What can be my problem. Is it auto immune system disorder. How can it be cured. What are pathological tests to confirm this. ---mr Rajasekharan, India | Hi Rajasekharan. Thanks for your query and an elucidated history. Since you are a diagnosed case of Ulcerative colitis taking Melamine tablets, the cause of pain on the left side of you abdomen is obviously due to colitis. Urine tests may be normal in this condition. The skin disorder is due to fungal infection hence there is a hair loss. Please consult a Dermatologist for further diagnosis and treatment. Yes, there can be an autoimmune disorder, and you need steroid by enema or orally to get a control of the colitis and pain. There are no specific pathological tests to determine this and ESR has no diagnostic value at all. 25 is not very high. So do not bother about is unnecessarily. Consult a Gastroenterologist to get an appropriate treatment and remember this is a problem which can be recurrent. Stress and anxiety play a very large art in causing such problems, hence you have to keep them under control at any cost. Melamine alone may be not sufficient, and you may need an additional treatment |

Please tell me | Thanks for posting you query to Chat Doctor .this is not a normal condition as hemoglobin level is very low condition called as anemia .what investigation your clinician want to do on bone marrow please send me. As bone marrow study for histopathology will help in finding cause if there is any abnormality in cells and microbiological examination of bone marrow will guide you about infective case for your anemia. In my opinion if you are still having feverish illness you should be undergone blood investigation for 1.tidal test 2. Culture and sensitivity so that you can rule out infective cause. Further if you are having only anemia bone marrow histology will be enough for making diagnosis. But you should take treatment for anemia iron supplements should be taken regularly and take god nutritious date with higher amount of green leafy veg .hope you are satisfied with my answer.

It is momentary decrease in blood supply to some part of brain which is causing sudden onset dizziness, not able to stand, imbalance, breathlessness etc. So better to consult neurologist and get done clinical examination of Central nervous system (CNS), blood pressure monitoring and MRI brain to rule out major CNS pathology.

I can move my arm normally but have to think about it deliberately to do so, and it has less range of motion than normal before feeling stiff at the shoulder. When I reach that point of it feeling stiff the shoulder muscles begin to quiver. Can you offer any opinion? Please and thank you. | Hello, I have studied your case and I think that you are developing frozen shoulder. In this condition there is pain and stiffness of the shoulder and restricted movements. To confirm the diagnosis I would suggest you to get MRI of the shoulder. If there is any tear in cuff muscles then it can cause frozen shoulder. Also, if there is any capsular thickening then it can also cause tight shoulder. In both cases arthroscopy of the shoulder is helpful. During this small procedure we can cut tight band and repair muscles tears. I hope this answer will be useful for you. Let me know if there is any other followup questions. Thanks |

Do you have any thoughts on this? | Hi.it is best if you consult with a doctor, preferably a general surgeon in regard to your concern. It may be any of the following benign breast lesions: cystic, fibroid or fibrotic changes. Other tumor types, such as malignancy, must also be ruled-out. Clinical evaluation is best. Diagnostics (such as breast ultrasound and/or mammography, tissue biopsy) may be recommended. Management (medical and/or surgical) will be directed accordingly. Hope this helps.

Itd been like this for a long time. My heart beating fast just started though. Im just scared for the baby. | Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. In my opinion, we should rule out arrhythmia (rhythm disturbances in heart) first because arrhythmia can precipitate in pregnancy and gives similar symptoms like palpitations and breathlessness. If not treated promptly, this arrhythmia can harm you as well as your developing baby. So get done ECG, 2d echo and Holder monitoring (24 hours continuous recording of ECG). You may need anti arrhythmia Chat Doctor. 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. |

You need to have an evaluation with MRI of lumbosacral to see if you have a herniated disc or spinal stenosis and nerve treatment.

I went through your daughters history and would like to make suggestions for her as follows:1. From her complaints, I would first think of allergy. I would suggest her allergy testing for common allergy causing substances - house dust mites, insect proteins, indoor molds, common pollen in your region and pet dander (if she has contact with pets)This will help you identify the substances causing allergies to her and also to know the measures to avoid them.2. I would suggest her regular montelukast + levocetirizine for at least 28 days.3. Regular steam inhalation which will help in nose blocks.4. I would also suggest her to use albuterol inhaler when she experiences wheezing or breathing difficulty.5. In general, please avoid exposure to dusts, smokes and air pollution to her as much as possible.6. Healthy diet and regular exercise will also help her in a long run by improving her immunity and lung capacity respectively. Hope above suggestions will be helpful to her.

Other info I have ITP | I understood your concerns, first we need to confirm that you have muscular or kidney colic pain? Pain may be nerve related also...... In most types of neuropathic pain, all signs of the original injury are usually gone and the pain that one feels is unrelated to an observable injury or condition. With this type of pain, certain nerves continue to send pain messages to the brain even though there is no ongoing tissue damage. Neuropathic pain (also called nerve pain or neuropathy) is very different from pain caused by an underlying injury. While it is not completely understood, it is thought that injury to the sensory or motor nerves in the peripheral nervous system can potentially cause neuropathy. Neuropathic pain could be placed in the chronic pain category, but it has a different feel then chronic pain of a musculoskeletal nature. If you have stone related colic pain you can take dicyclomine paracetamol combination. |

However, after a couple of years as a jailer I started having pain, close to sciatica . I worked as a jail for over 7 years. Due to the everyday pain I went into a different career, but the pain is getting worse. I had an MRI done and the doctor told me that my last lumbar doesn t sit on the lower one correctly, but he didn t go any further with it and just gave me pain meds and muscle relaxers when I had a flare up. I have moved to a different state where the doctors are so less inclided to give out pain meds that I really don t take them. Not to mention that I can t afford to go into the doctor every 2 weeks. Needless to say that I am in pain everyday now. Most of the time it is bearable, but all I have to do is step wrong or bend over wrong and I get a sudden and really sharp pain in my lower back, that radiates into my hips.

Seroflo inhalation will reduce inflammation of air passages. Stalin will help to keep the lung open. Mucolite also do the same. Sometimes cough may present for a few days though the inflammation is over. This is due to irritation of air passages in the past. You can wait for a few days.

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | Hi,I am 20 weeks pregnant and having raised temperature (37 degrees celsius = 98.6 fahrenheit) while my normal temperature (before pregnancy, in the period before the ovulation was around 36.2-36.4 celsius (97.16 - 97.52 fahrenheit).I know that in the 1st trimester teh raised temperature is a good sign of hormones doing their job.... but how long the elevated temperature should stay?Is that temperature normal in week 20? or is it a sign of some infection?Thank you for your answer. | Hello dear, I understand your concern. In my opinion the raise of body temperature of about 0.1 or 0.2 degrees might not be significant. The normal body temperature is 38.4 degree C or 98.6 degree F. The body temperature is dependent on the basal metabolic rate(BMR). So considering the above values your temperature raise is insignificant. Anything more than 99 degree with any associated symptoms might be significant. So relax. There will be increased basal metabolic rate in pregnancy, so it might also cause the raise of body temperature. Take healthy nutritional diet and adequate fluids up to 3 liters per day. Urinary tract infections(UTI) are common in pregnancy so taking adequate fluids will prevent them. Nothing to worry. Hope this helps. Best regards... |

He has had dizziness that comes and goes along with a clogged ear that comes and goes (not necessarily together). He thinks it has to do with a fall where he hit his head hard at least a year ago. | Hi.it is best if the lump on his neck is evaluated, especially if its growing. It may not bother him now, but it might tomorrow. Inside our neck is our air and food passage, along with many other important vessels. If the lump continues to grow, it might compress those structures leading to more problems.

My doctor had diagnosed me with Anxiety issues and gave me Xanax in the past.. | Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your situation and problem. Yes, it is quite possible to have allergy due to color fumes. They are known allergen. Whenever exposure happens, these fumes go in the lungs and activate allergic inflammation. Which causes edema and bronchospasm. This causes wheezing and difficulty in breathing (not getting satisfying breath). And once exposure is over, inflammation is subsided, and you feel better. This is typical of allergic bronchitis due to color fumes. So better to consult pulmonologist and get done PFT (Pulmonary Function Test) to diagnosis and treatment for allergic bronchitis. |

Vitamin B12 is a very important vitamin which is available only in non-vegetarian sources and is essential for red blood cell production and maturation. Deficiency of this vitamin is common in vegans and would lead to anemia and less commonly nervous system abnormalities. Iron is also important as is folic acid, and these three together are quint essential to prevent anemia. Anemia can result due to deficiency of these three substances, and any type of anemia is associated with fatigue/dizziness as the oxygen carrying capacity of blood reduces due to deficient hemoglobin. Other causes of Vitamin B12 deficiency include worms, absorption defects and pernicious anemia. So do not hesitate in treating her with It. B12 if it is the cause based on the tests. Thank you. |

According to the clinical history provided the back pain could be part of a mechanical back pain complex of symptoms. I suggest you to try back strengthening exercises by extension of the back muscles which can be taught by your Orthopedic or Physiotherapist.

I do physiotherapy on my own, how long will it take for me to be completely well, what medical condition is this, what other advice do yoy have for me? | Hello, Numbness and pain in your fingers (this type of pain is known as neuropathic pain) is caused by a transaction of the nerve that supplies these two fingers. The common branch lies in the center of the palm from which the branches separate and go on to supply the fingers. Tablets can only help in relieving you from the neuropathic pain though not completely, but they have no role whatsoever in regaining sensation. You should get in touch with a plastic surgeon as early as possible because accurate nerve repair is the key to regaining sensation over the numb areas and would take place over months after repair. In the absence of nerve repair, there would be a very slow regain of protective sensation only over a span of many months and that too is incomplete. |

There are a few tests like the Urea levels in the blood which can range from 40 to 60. The kidney function based on creatinine can also range for 40 % function to 60% function.

I have now noticed that there a little bit of spotting of blood. I took the morning after pill around a week ago, is there something i should be worried about? | Hellman and blood in urine may be due to many reasons like urinary tract infection(UTI), calculus in kidneys or ureters etc. You need clinical correlation and investigations like routine hologram, renal function test, urine RE/ME, Urine culture and sensitivity and Ultrasound of abdomen. Ultrasound of abdomen and urine RE/ME is most important in your case. Proper treatment depend upon findings. It is important to exclude prostate enlargement in males because enlarged prostate may give rise to sense of incomplete emptying. Get well soon. Take Care Chat Doctor. |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | As a young child and up until I was well in my 20 s, when I developed a fever I would *always* also develop circular rashes (shaped much like hoop earrings) on my elbows, finger joints, knees and at my toe joints. Sometimes the rashes would be both on the anterior and postior portions of the joints. The rashes would itch. Ring worm had been ruled out (although why would the rashes develop only across my joints? Why not somewhere else, as well? I am 70 years of age and have been blessed with over-all good health, with the exception of fibromyalgia and RA (the latter being a real bug-a-boo). You may wonder why I am interested now, after all these many years. Actually, I have always wondered but just never received an answer. Warm wishes, Jan | Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor. At your 20s, you had rash with fever. And rash would erythematous and itchy. I feel, that you had viral exanthem. ...most probably you had erythema infectious. Also called fifth disease. It is a viral disease caused by arbovirus B19. There may be fever with erythematous rash on face, trunk and extremities. It is benign condition and heals without any complication. Your present diseases fibromyalgia and RA are not related with your past disease. I hope you got my answer. |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | Hi. Im on yasmin for two years. On 11th I had bleeding since I finished the pack until 13th. Then I started the pack on 14th til 18th. Since I was busy working and travelling I missed the pills from 19 til 25th. I had a withdrawal bleeding from 23rd which started as brown discharge. On 24th it stopped a bit then had unprotected sex with my bf and he came inside. On the same day I had bleeding this time its red and continuous and a bit heavy. But stopped on 25th. Is there any chance I can get pregnant while im bleeding and had unprotected sex. | Hi dear, birth control pills are effective only when taken regularly in a prescribed format. Missing the pills exposes you to the risk of pregnancy. If you had your periods on 11th, then, 24th will be counted as your fertile periods, despite you having slight with Chat Doctor. In my view there are all chances of you getting pregnant is you had unprotected sex on 24th. Kindly get a pregnancy test around your expected date or can check with a BChatDoctor |

They dont itch all the time but every so often I get the urge to itch them. Each place that the patches are seemed to be the same areas where a mosquito has bitten me.

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | I was just prescribed .5 mg or 1/2 tab of Lexapro to augment the use of Willbutrin SR 150mg (bid) Have taken Wellbutrin for at least 10 years and it has been the only anti-depressant that was effective. d/t many circumstances and stressors, my depression became worse this year. My Psychiatrist recently prescribed Lexapro to augment Wellbrurin (started at .25 mg (1/4 tab) x 1 week, then went to 1/2 mg which I am now on. My question #1) is, b/c it has made me drowsy during the day, could I take it h.s. and perhaps not experience the daytime drowsiness. Question 2) In the past, I usually have a glass of wine at dinnertime or one lager ale. All the literature I have read says that ETOH is not safe with Lexapro.. I had my annual P.E. this week and am in good health. Thanks for any advice you can give me. | Hello. Thank you for your question.... it is a good one! First, I would like to clarify the Learn dosage. The lowest dose manufactured is a 5 mg tablet... so perhaps when you say 0.5 mg you really mean 5 mg? In any case, it is perfectly okay, and in fact wise, to take your Learn at bedtime. Regarding the ETON.... nearly every medicine in the mental health realm has a warning about alcohol. To be honest, in the real world (or perhaps a world where lawyers don't exist), it is likely to be perfectly safe to Chat Doctor. Best of Luck.... and hope this answer helps. |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | my wife check the pregnancy kit and found that she is pregnant. She taken some atibiotic drugs in this period of pregnacy because she don t konw that she is got pregnant it is now 15 days form ovulation[The doctor prescribed the atibiotics asked her that whether she is pregnant on consultation and she told that she she is not pregneant]. Is this will affect badly to the fetus? | Hello, and I hope I can help you today. Many women accidentally ingest medications or alcohol before they find out that they are pregnant. However, there is no fetus that even develops before the 7th week or so, so the effects of medications on a developing fetus would not yet be able to pose any harm to the pregnancy. Furthermore, there are only a few, very strong IV antibiotics that can actually cause significant harm to a developing fetus. So it is unlikely that the antibiotic that your wife was taking was even unsafe during pregnancy. Asking whether a woman is pregnant when prescribing medication is a common routine practice and does not mean that the medication prescribed is in any way. So in summary, I do not think you need to be worried about the medication your wife took in this very early stage. To enhance the health of her pregnancy, she should follow a well-balanced diet, avoid alcohol, and begin to take a vitamin supplement designed for pregnant women. Your should also choose a prenatal care provider for her and have your first visit about a month from now. I hope I was able to adequate;y answer your question today, and that my advice was reassuring. Best wishes, |
