ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | My teeth are suddenly breaking. Ive had 2 fillings break loose and just this evening I had tooth structure loss on a FRONT tooth at gum line almost in between 2 teeth - no previous repair to this tooth before. What in the world could be happening for my teeth to suddenly start deteriorating like they are doing?? | Hello, There is no need to take tension, as the tooth structure you are mentioning at the gum line between two teeth, it can be calculus, which is similar to tooth structure but a debris which has become hard and situated at the same area. And the fillings which has become loose were not done properly. There is nothing to worry just visit your dentist and get complete scaling with re-filling done. Thank you |

Welcome to Chat Doctor. I read your query. Please check if any of his teeth have caries or there is pus or plaque anywhere in gums. If so, it needs to be treated by a dentist. Also, as you mentioned he has cold, ear infection and swollen gland. This infection can be the reason for this pain and discomfort. Also, at times medicines (he might be taking for infection) can cause side effect like this. I suggest you to first cure his existing infection completely with proper antibiotics suggested by his pediatrics. Maintain proper oral hygiene. Brushing twice daily, rinsing after eating anything. Syrup ibuprofen can be given for pain. Give healthy diet. Ask physician for multivitamin supplement. If symptoms persists or worsen, show a dentist for further investigation. Hope the answer helps you. Thank you! |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | I had a pain in my upper left stomach, under the ric cage, that woke me in teh middle fo the night for two days. Its gone now but now my left arm is painfully numb for the last 12 hours and I have a mild headache for the last 6 hours. I have been taking low dose asprin (6) all day but it hasnt gone away. The only other symptom, that doesn;t seem related, is that I have to urinate often, every hour, but Im not sure how that is related. | Hello, Thanks for the query to Chat Doctor. Forum. Stomach pain, numbness in left arm and frequent are related to each other. According to history, you are taking aspirin. Aspirin may be the cause of hyper acidity. Hyper acidity is the root cause of pain in stomach. Frequent urination may be due to tension, but reason may be diabetes. Diagnosis can be confirmed by HBA 1 C and blood sugar examination. Numbness in the left arm may be due to a radiating pain from heart disease. Diagnosis can be confirmed by E K G & ECHO. In my opinion consult a physician and get his opinion. Good luck. |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | Hello doctor,I had a painful, swollen, reddish boil under my armpit two days ago. I went to a doctor yesterday and he put me on antibiotics. Yesterday night, when I took the antibiotics, after some time I got the feeling of stiffness in my right calf and thigh. My leg felt heavy and affected my walking a bit for some time too. I had thought it was due to a little bit of walking I had done yesterday. When I woke up in the morning, the stiffness was gone and my leg felt fine. In the morning again after taking the medicine, I felt stiffness in the right leg, and it is still there (it is late evening now) though less than before. Left leg appears to be fine. I also have a ringing sensation in my ears.I am wondering if this is due to antibiotics? Or is it just coincidence? I am not seeing any noticeable swelling in my right leg, but not very sure. Maybe there is a little bit. Please let me know your thoughts. Is it an emergency? I am in my office now and cannot go to the doctor before tomorrow morning unless it is an emergency. The boil has subsided quite a bit, and is much less swollen and painful. It is not reddish anymore. I am taking Pantozec 40 and Augmed 625. I am fine with stopping the medicine if needed. I am supposed to take it after dinner again tonight. | Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor forum. The antibiotic which you are taking does not have the side effect of myalgia and stiffness or joint pains. However, Pantoprazole may cause some times such symptoms. I think the boil itself can cause the myalgia and there is nothing serious. You need to complete at least three days of antibiotics because once you stop these medicines the symptoms will also resolve. I suggest you complete three days at least or if possible take for five days. For more information consult an internal medicine physician online |

She is also on a blood thinner, but I do not know what one. | Hi, there are a number of causes for membranous nephropathy (MN). Some are transient and some remain for life. Prognosis depends on what has caused it. Many viruses like Hepatitis, Chat Doctor. Once your nephrologist finds out the cause, appropriate treatment would be started. Generally, steroids are given which will offer some cure of disease irrespective of the cause. Cut her sodium to less than 6 GMS/day to prevent edema; potassium rich foods are better avoided as there is accumulation possibility, but is generally followed by serum potassium levels.

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | Hi.My 11 months daughter has cows milk protein intolerance.Shes been on Nutramigen AA since she was 5 weeks. A couple days ago she started thowing up right after she has her bottle of milk.She has fever of 37.She doesnt womt during the day its just the milk that she bring up. | I would blame the bottle-feed for this. As a part of Baby Friendly Hospital Initiative (BFI) I am actively involved in health education against bottle feeding and advise feeding from a cup and spoon, if you must give formulas while the best for your baby is breastfeed till 4-6 months when homemade semi solids can be give. In this case of CPI you can give Nutramigen but from a sup with spoon > lack of proper burping the baby after feeds also worsen vomiting. You also make sure the formula is mixed correctly as per schedule as more powder or too little water all can cause over feeding problems. Before you put the baby to bed you burp the back well and put on right side of the baby. Take care and inform me. Regards |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | Hello.. Hope you are fine. I want to ask something about my father who is suffering from Cervical Spondylosis . Cervical Spondylosis is detected by Neck X-Ray prescribed by one doctor. But at the time of Cervical Spondylosis detection he is suffering from Seizure (Specially sometimes when he bend his neck down) . He has undergone ECG and Echo Cardiogram and also brain scan..But all of the reports are normal. Recently another doctor told us this is kind of nerve problem better to say Epyleptic Fit. Can Spondylosis cause this kind of Epileptic fit? If not what should we do now? | Hello, Epilepsy and spondylosis are 2 independent condition not related to each other. Cervical spondylosis wouldn't be causing epilepsy in your father. It is good to know EEG and brain scans were normal. Most often a cause for epilepsy is not found as in the case of your father. However, review of his blood tests may help us rule out any missed causes. Meanwhile, it is absolutely important to be regular with antiepileptic medications. He needs to sleep regularly and avoid fasting. Lack of sleep and skipping meals can induce seizures which is not good. Meet a neurologist if you haven't met yet to know more about your fathers condition. Hope this helps. Wish you good health. Best Regards |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | HiI am a 23 year old female. I have regular periods. Avg cycle 28-29 days. I had a regular cycle from Aug 4-8 (5 days). My bf and I had an unprotected encounter on Aug 10 (day 7 of my cycle) and I had an I-pill (emergency contraceptive) within an hour. The next day, i.e. Aug 11 (day 8 of cycle) the condom broke. I didnt want to pop a pill again so didnt. I had mild bleeding that started on Aug 15 (day 12 of cycle) at night. It lasted until today, i.e. Aug 18 (day 15 of cycle). Unfortunately, the condom broke today again (this literally angers me). Had to take in an Unwanted 72 (emergency contraceptive).My question is:What exactly was the bleeding on Aug 15 (day 12 of my cycle)? Was it ovulation bleeding (I never got that ever in life), effect of the pill (withdrawal bleeding) or implantation bleeding (so wishing it isnt this one)? The bleeding was scanty as compared to my regular cycle but enough to make me wear a single pad all day (not soaking it but still not little enough for Undergarment to hold).When should I be expecting my next period? My regular due date, i.e. Sept 2-3 or when?Could I be pregnant?Please answer ASAP! I am worried here.P.S. I have made a promise to myself. No more ECs. Enough is Enough. A dual condom or whatever will be tried but this breaking is so making me mad everytime. | Hi, Thanks for your query. Here are your answers -1. The bleeding on August 15th was the effect of the pill (with Chat Doctor. 2. ECS notoriously alter the normal course of the menstrual cycle, your normal period next time around could be a week or ten days earlier or later than expected. There is no way to predict when it would be.3. Well, EC s are over 95 % effective in preventing a pregnancy when taken within 24 hours, so the chances of pregnancy are quite low. You would know only next month, when and if you skip a period, and take a test.4. Yes, ECS taken so often will wreak havoc on your cycle and on your system. Take care. |

But i still think there is something wrong with me, why does my ear hurt when I spit mucus out?! And why I cant breath?! | Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. By your history and description, possibility of bronchitis is more in your case. So better to consult pulmonologist and get done 1. Clinical examination of respiratory system 2. Chest x-ray 3. PUT (Pulmonary Function Test). Chest x-ray is needed to rule out other lung related causes. PFT is must for the diagnosis of bronchitis. It will also tell you about severity of the disease. And treatment of bronchitis is based on severity only. You may need inhaled bronchodilators and inhaled corticosteroid (ICS). Don't worry, you will be alright. Better to first diagnose yourself and then start app treatment. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks. |

In the past 3 months my blood pressure has gone up along with my heart rate. For the most part, we got my blood pressure under control but my heart rate is slowly increasing. Sitting it s normally around 100-110. Walking around home it can get up to about 140. Sometimes I feel like my heart is beating very hard and fast. It is very uncomfortable at times. It makes me very tired. I have learned I have a B12 deficiency about a month ago and the B12 vitamins aren t helping. Could my B12 deficiency be causing my heart to do this? Or could there be something else causing this? I have had a stress test, and an echo with a bubble study and everything came back fine.

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | Hi doctor,I have pain, little but noticeable in my gum. It is not inflamed or red. What should I do? Is it infected? I need advice. Please help. | Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor forum. I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. If the lesion is white and painful, it can be the aphthous ulcer or canker sore. If there is no visible lesion as you said, the pain may be because of any dental infection. If the pain will be tooth related, your tooth may be tender if you press on it. As your question is not clear about the area, whether it is swollen or not, how many days you feel it, I am unable to guide you in detail. Please reframe your query so that I may provide you better opinion. If you think the pain has infectious symptoms like swelling, interference with sleep cycle, fever, you need to take antibiotics like Augmentin 625 (Amoxicillin and Clavulanic acid) twice daily for five days. Also, do saline gargles. |

Also, the size of my fibroids (two) increased by about 2cm (each) in 3 months. Should I stop the treatment ? | Hi, Yes, it may increase the size of fibroid.

Other causes to consider are hormonal(thyroid etc.), any lifestyle or residence change, stress, any history of recent illness like typhoid, any chemical procedures, etc. These causes need to be considered and treated as they affect hair growth. For now, you can apply HAIR4U solution to scalp with hair supplements daily like Collinear or Seraglio Men. This needs to be continued at least for 2-3 months. Since you have not taken treatment before, do continue the treatment advised. Do consult a dermatologist as well, to assess your type of hair loss and to give you treatment based on the results. They may also suggest some routine blood tests if required.is you see no improvement, certain new surgical procedures can be considered such as PRP.hair transplant etc., as will be advised by your consulting doctor after observation. Hope this helps. |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | Hello! I have a big troubles. Everything started 10 years ago, when I was diagnosed with cancer, but lucky or unlucky, it was just a hernia. A year later, I started having problems like waking up in the middle of the night, cant breathe etc. Just an easy problems. After time, the things went wrong. I was affraid to go to a doctor, because I dont want to hear, that I am sick of Cancer. That is still the good part. Few Years later, I started having more serious problems. Currently, almost everyday at anytime I am in a different moods. Once I am happy, everything is fine, next minute I am depressed, and nothing is valuable to me. It happens after I lost one girlfriend though. But the problems are: 1. Cant focus on almost nothing2. Brain Fatigue3. Sleeping more then 8 hours and wake up tired.4. Always thinking of something in the past, cant concentrate on the present.5. Social Phobia - recently I found , that I am having it6. Hard time to organize my day. When I sleep less, like 4 hoursI am feeling more organized and easy going. But on the next day, I need to sleep more , like 10 hours and when I wake up, I am confused, stressed, tired, and the day is just passing by me.7. Sometimes, I am feeling, like I am out of my body and my life is just passing near myself.8. Avoiding reading documents and doing work, where brain is involved more then normal. That s a big problem, because thequality of my life is getting worse and worse. Currently, I am 30 years old, finished my law school, but dont want to tell you how hard I took my exams, because, when I read something, I do forget it very fast9. It is hard for me to remember many things from my day. Everyday, I am not having many memories. For Example,not sure what I ate, not sure what movie I watched, not sure with whom and when I have a meeting. Cant organize myself, and the biggest problem ever is, that when I have all those symphoms, I start stearing in the mirrow and I see, that somehow, my eyeis changed. The way my eyes looks is a bit scary even for me. When I dont feel this pressure in my eye, they seems well, but often they skin where my eyelash is located is purple to red colour. this is only on one of my eye.10. Tired during the day. Need a sleep often in the early afternoon for at least 30 mins.11. Cant focus on many things, even if I want to. I would like to ask you, please, give me a clue, because when I go to doctor, everyone says, that I am ok, and this is just a depression. It is not, I am sure. I read forums, about Bipoliar Disorder, Concentration Disorder, and almost every desiase, I have the sympthoms. I need to know, what I am seek of, so I can take the propper treatment and have at least more normal life.Thank you very much , and hope to read from you!!! | Respected user, HiT hanks for using Chat Doctor.come have evaluated your query thoroughly.* This is not due to simple depression, it consists of pyramid of anxiety, phobia, stress, personality disorder with behavior changes at major extent.* Only cure is getting hospital treatment with expert Psychiatrist in form of behavior therapy, counselling sessions and if required may have to opt for Electron convulsive therapy, other IV treatments.* This is curable , needs extensive treatment , patience on the part of doctor and patient.

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | Respected Doctor, I want to share one of my case to you. Actually my mother expired in August 2009. My wife is a BAMS doctor.My father is a retired person from government service. I am the only son. Soon after my mother s expire i started Alcoholic consumption. I got edicted to it. Then my family took me to a Psychiatrist . They put me tablet like Libruim, Nexito, Dizone( Disulfiram ). The prescribed tablet i am taking from 2 years. Past from 2 years i have no alcoholic consumption at all. But to be frank i chew tobacco. Now thing is when i started taking the prescribed tablets, i was working in Priya cement. I was feeling good in work and confident. In Priya cement i worked for 1 and half years. I am MBA finance. When i was in Priya cement i got a offer from Onida company for the post of Accounts officer. There when i joined i was ok for ten days, and then they didn t give me any training. I was over pressurized. Than my hands started shaking, my head was totaly struck. I was mentally upset. Whenever i used to see office documents and cash, i used to get nervous. Lots of negetive things started in my mind (Like attemting suicide )lack of interest in my life. I donot know when i was in Priya cement , i was confident and interest and soon i joined onida company, this case happened like this. So soon i resigned from Onida company. Right from past 1 year iam not in a job.When i resigned from Onida company for month i was uncomfortable( like attemting suicide, hands where shaking, lots of interest in life). Now iam getting state government appointment. I want to ask whether again the same thing will happen which happened in onida company? Now at present iam ok. Now my hands are shaking where iam getting a state government offer. Also every seconds my mind will be fluctating and fructrasting regarding my interest in life. So please tell me what are the causes for my case. Please note iam in tobacco habit. Sometimes i get confidence, sometimes i don t. So look into my case and awaiting for your valuable solution. Regards, Abhishek | HI, Welcome to Chat Doctor. I have gone through your query. I am really glad to know that you have stopped taking alcohol. Congratulations on getting a government job Coming to your problem, based on the symptoms you have mentioned it could be due to Panic or anxiety disorder. It is just the environment and the work pressure at the place where you worked before(Oneida company) that made you feel insecure. This insecurity leads to anxiety and panic attacks where you feel very nervous about even small things thinking too much about the consequences. You absolutely normal. You need not worry about the same being repeated at State government job. Furthermore, you can happily take up the offer. Furthermore, you don't even need medication. Just forget about your life at Oneida company. If you don't leave that, that keeps bugging your mind. Be confident and just say to yourself that everything is going to be OK. As you have mentioned that your wife is a doctor, just share all your problems with her. Try to meditate. Just because you were over pressurized in the previous job, it doesn't mean that you face the same kind of challenge everywhere you work. One more thing I would like to advice you are regarding tobacco chewing. Please stop chewing tobacco as I would take a toll on your health. Try Nicoletta chewing gums. Chew a gum whenever you feel like chewing tobacco. As you have stopped alcohol I think i won't be difficult to get rid of this addiction as well. You don't need any medicines at this stage. What is your need is a bit of counselling and a quality time with your family(they will always stand by you at all times). Stay positive and your life will definitely be beautiful. Wish you a healthy life. Take care |

Coming to this point, I recommend consulting with a neurologist for a physical exam and a brain MRI study. Regarding the palpitations that you are experiencing, I would recommend performing an ambulatory 24-48 hours ECG monitoring in order to investigate for possible cardiac arrhythmia and some blood lab tests (thyroid hormone levels, blood electrolytes). You should discuss with your doctor on the above tests. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. |

In this case, omeprazole 40 mg 30 minutes before breakfast may be used. You may try to eat frequent small amounts of food to help avoid nausea and vomiting and also help keep food in. On the other hand, there are other conditions that may cause similar pain such as gall bladder stones or cholecystitis.

Hi doctor my question is that my and my boyfriend had sex a few days ago and we used protection however when we were finished the condom was empty and I was wet and dripping can I be pregnant? | Hello dear, I understand your concern. In my opinion this condition might be called slippage of condom. Here there might be risk of pregnancy if the intercourse is done during the fertile period. I suggest you to wait and check for the period because the first sign of pregnancy is missed period. Or you can try for emergency contraception if 72 hours have not passed from the intercourse. Avoid stress. Relax. Best regards... |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | Hi my name is Annie. I have been on subtext for 8 years as a substitute for heroin addiction . I started off on a high dose and am now on 6 mlgrms pr day. I have recently had chronic liver fatigue and signs that my Hep C is active. I am waiting for the results from the hospital as I m contemplating have the Interferon treatment. Subtext has saved my life, I would have died of a heroin overdose had I continued using, or another car crash of which I had several!! I do however worry that Subutex has a negative impact on my already damaged liver. Could you please tell me if this is true... Thank you... | Hi and welcome to Chat Doctor. Yes this is true unfortunately, but this isn't a reason to stop taking it. Hep C causes much serious liver damage than subtext. You should treat hep c primary. I know that there is a minor chance that you are able to stop with subtext, and you must consider all this as the best solution. You should follow doctors recommendations, rest, and do frequent liver check-ups. Hep c is unpredictable disease and has its positive and negative phases. You need to hope for the best and nit to give up. Wish you good health |

Welcome and thank you for asking on Chat Doctor! Regarding your concern, I would explain that your blood pressure values are a little low, which could explain the dizziness that you are feeling.

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. Paracetamol can be given in the dose of 15Β mg/kg/dose (maximum ceiling dose of 500Β mg) every 4-6th hourly that too only if fever is more than 100F. I suggest not using combination medicines for fever, especially with Paracetamol. 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. |

My suggestion for you would be: 1. Please take her back to the surgeon who operated her or to his assistant. 2. Get an ultrasound of the abdomen and X-ray of the PUB region done. 3. Anything suspectable can be seen on these 2 investigations. 4. We need to also check if the postoperative wound is healing well or not. 5. Re-check on the antibiotics that she is on.

Welcome on Chat Doctor ! I would not recommend performing this sports, considering the fact that you have suffered from a series of strokes. This is because of several reasons: - I assume you are taking a blood thinner and a trauma can lead to increased risk of bleeding. - Increased motion can lead to increased stress and high blood pressure, which can increase the risk for another stroke-Increased motion can lead to cardiac arrhythmia, especially if you have been diagnosed with such disorders before.

How can I restore the original color on my face? | Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor forum. The skin often darkens due to tanning under the effect of UV (ultraviolet) rays. I would strongly recommend using a sunscreen with a minimum SPF of 30. The sunscreen has to be applied at least half an hour before you go out and has to be reapplied every four hours till evening. I suggest trying skin lightening cream like Biluma (Kojic acid) at night. Alternatively, you could visit your dermatologist for chemical peels like Lactic acid or Glycolic acid peels. Whatever be the treatment, sun protection is a must. Hope this helped. Take care. For more information consult a dermatologist online |

If an emergency pill is taken within the time limit, that is within 72 hours of unprotected intercourse then it is very effective in preventing pregnancy. But if your next period is delayed then pregnancy has to be ruled out. For that, blood hCG estimation can be done three weeks after LMP (last menstrual period). If you want to do urine hCG card test then get investigated after one week of thedelayed period. Sometimes, high dose Progesterone in an emergency pill can delay period for a week. So, if your period is delayed for more than a week then urine hCG card test can be done to exclude pregnancy. Usually, an emergency pill is taken as two doses of poll or high dose Levonorgestrel 1.5 mg single dose. Thee poll not recommended in any regimen. For more information consult a family physician online |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | I have a lump on my head, resulting from an accident that happened a month ago. My black eye and cuts have healed, but the lump is still there. I went to the emergency room at the time of the injury, and I was told that the injuries should resolve. I followed up with an urgent care physician a week ago. She said the lump appeared to her alot like a cyst (but it was not there before running into metal street sign.) She advised to get a sonogram. The lump is located on my forehead above the eye. It doesnt really hurt. But I do have some headaches -- not severe. Could I be referred to a doctor for a sonogram regarding this? | Hi ! Good afternoon. I am Chat Doctor answering your query. Although a physical examination would be more appropriate, with your history of trauma alone, and the lesion appearing only after the trauma, it seems to me that it was a hematoma which has organized now. To confirm, a FNAC (fine needle aspiration cytology) could be done. To me, it seems that a FNAC would be more helpful in diagnosing the lesion than an ultrasound. However, as I told earlier, a physical examination would decide on the investigation required. The management would depend on these factors. I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts. Thanks for choosing Chat Doctor to clear doubts on your health problems. Wishing you an early recovery. Chat Doctor. |

Im not sure whether to see a doctor or just to wait it out. Some advice would be greatly appreciated. | HelloAbdominal pain may be due to many reasons like gastritis, cardio-pulmonary causes etc. Your history may suggest gastritis. You need proper clinical examination and routine investigations. Investigations include routine hologram, random blood sugar, liver and renal function test, ultrasound of abdomen, ECG. You may need to take tablet pantoprazole 40 mg single dose half hour before food in the morning for four weeks. If symptoms persists then cardiopulmonary causes should also be screened.

So possibility of cold weather triggered asthma exacerbation is more in your case.

Please understand, penis shrinkage is due to stress or anxiety. Penis cannot decrease in size as you already know. The area could shrink. The possible reasons are lack of sexual desire, stress or anxiety. Lack of sexual desire also is due to anxiety.

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | Hi, my 17.5 week old baby will not take a bottle. I exclusively breast feed. We have been trynig several times with the bottle and she refuses. She did take a couple ounces one time and since then will not. She may play with it in her mouth or else she just gets increasingly frustrated. We have tried myself giving it to her, my husband, we ve tried different bottles and nipples - nothing works. Do you have any suggestions? Also.... I have been told that some babies will go right from breast to sippy cup. Is there any harm in this and how old must she be before we try breast milk in a sippy cup? Is this harmful in any way? Someone told me ia baby doesn t ever use a bottle it can cause speech problems as the muscles of the mouth don t develop proply. Is this true? Thanks! | Hello, thanks for asking on Chat Doctor. It is recommended to exclusively breastfeed a baby until 6 months of age and then start weaning foods while continuing to breastfeed. The longer you breastfeed, the better it is for the overall child development. Since the technique of feeding from breast and from a bottle is different for a baby, it finds it difficult to easily switch from one to another. Some babies totally refuse bottle if they have been exclusively breastfed before and there's no harm in that. The only thing is that mother finds it difficult to leave the baby with someone else for going to work or elsewhere. What is suggested is to try different nipples and someone other than mother to give the bottle. Since you have already tried all this it seems it won't work. You can start the hippy cup after 6 months along with semisolid foods with a spoon. There is no disadvantage of not using a bottle at all. In fact bottle can cause health problems like diarrhea since the nipples might harbor bacteria if not cleaned and sterilized properly |

Ovarian cysts are a common problem and not all of them are cancerous. Fluid collection around the ovaries can also be due to many causes and from the description of your symptoms, it does not look malignant. You should get a repeat USG after 2 months to assess the size of the lesion. If it is increasing in size, it would be advisable to get it removed. Hoping for the best. |

I can understand your concern. Basically you are having left sided chest pain when you are excited. Excitement causes sympathetic stimulation and this can cause heart damage. So we should first rule out heart diseases in your case. So get done ECG and 2d echo first. If both are normal then no need to worry about heart diseases. Sometimes stress and anxiety can also cause similar symptoms. So avoid stress and tension. Be relax and calm. Consult psychiatrist and get done counselling sessions. Try to identify stressor in your life and start working on its solution. 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.

Then it can be related to OA or Varicose veins. If you are in your not in the above age then this should be related to some other pathology than the above-mentioned. If the pain in radial in nature, tingling, numbing and weakening than you should check out for the other pathologies like the neuropathy, fatigue, weakness, ligament injuries etc. In most cases, it is related to muscle weakness and less physical activity. I will recommend you to take hot water fermentation and do some basic knee strengthening exercise if this does help you then it's a muscular issue. Which can be corrected by simple exercise.

It may be due to a fungal infection called tinea versicolor which usually occurs in the summertime, or it may be an allergic reaction to the sun. I suggest using an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole 1 % cream twice daily. Consult a specialist doctor, discuss with him or her and start taking the medicines with their consent. Follow up with a photo of the rash. Continue sunscreen. For more information consult a dermatologist online |

How many days per month does he cough or feel breathless?2. How many nights per month does his sleep get disturbed due to above symptoms?3. Does he feel breathless when he runs around or plays with other kids?4. Are the symptoms when there are seasonal changes?5. Is there any family history of asthma or any other sort of allergies like skin allergy etc.?6. Is the cough always associated with fever?

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | My 4 year old niece was at Urgent care last night and the doctor said her urine has 10 wbc in it and no rbc in it. He didn t tell us what the possibilities are, but he did say that it s kidney related and very serious in children her age. Can you tell me what could be wrong with her? | Hi... I hope your name is doing better now. Most of the time Urinary infection is due to improper hygiene painted (in India very common reason being using public toilets). Sometimes an injury in the tract also leads to UTI. It is much more common in females because the Urinary tract is smaller and hence the infection travels easily. You may get the Kidney function tests done. Give her a lot of liquids. Cranberry juice works wonders for this infection. Take care. Wishing her a good health. |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | i done a clearblue pregnancy test on wednesday. it said pregnant 1-2 which on the box says that means 1-2 weeks since conception. but it also said that my doctor will date this as being 4 weeks pregnant. please help. i dont know how this works and am really confused. | Hello, and I hope I can help you today. Over-the-counter pregnancy tests check for pregnancy hormone in your ruin, however the results are absolutely not reliable in diagnosing the length of gestation. The reason for this, is that the amount of pregnancy hormone in your urine, depending upon how much water you Chat Doctor. However, what the box is explaining is the way that we routinely as physicians calculate the due date for someone's pregnancy. As a convention, the due date for pregnancy is calculated based on the first day of the women last menstrual period. The pregnancy test measures the amount of pregnancy hormone, theoretically, from the date of conception. In women with a 28-day menstrual cycle, ovulation typically occurs at 14 days after the start of your period, so, that is why your doctor will refer to your pregnancy as two weeks further along than the pregnancy test. So, in the meantime, I would not worry too much about calculating your due date. When you see a doctor for the first time for this pregnancy, he or she will explain how we determine your due date. Obstetricians generally recommend that you see a doctor for your first prenatal visit at around 6 to 7 weeks gestation (from the first day of your last menstrual period)In the meantime, please begin taking a prenatal vitamin supplement, stop |

What will be the problem ? , what kind of medicine we try? | Hi, Thanks for the query. Once check for the positivity of antiphospolipid antibodies in your wife. If that comes positive she has to take steroid treatment for few months. Then your wife can go for ovulation induction with your doctors advice, and you plan intercourse around the time of ovulation. After conceiving let her continue the pregnancy with the support of progesterone and aspirin etc. By these the possibility of future fetal loss can be prevented to some extent. Take care. |

Could this be stress or something worse? I still get scared it could be a heart attack I am really freaking out!! | HIT hanks for using Chat Doctor I think, I had panic attack. It happens due to stress. In that case, there is nothing to worry. It is not related to heart disease, but it is a psychological disorder. If you get repeated attacks, then you can take benzodiazepine on sos' basis. That would help to control the symptoms. You can also try some relaxation exercise. In case, you need further help, you can ask. Thanks |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | My 2 year old grandson suddenly had 2 large, quite hard lumps appear on the right side of his forehead even though he definitely had not bumped himself. He was fine in himself and after a nights sleep the lumps had miraculously disappeared. Could you please suggest a possible cause for these lumps ? | Hi. Thanks for your query. Noted the history related to your grandson developing two large bumps on the right side of his forehead even though he definitely had not bumped himself. He was fine in himself and after a night sleep the lumps had miraculously disappeared. Could you please suggest a possible cause for these lumps? Such large bumps which vanish on its own are due to angioneurotic edema. This is an allergic reaction to something in food or in the air, that can be found out on observation by the family members alone. You have to keep the dosage of antihistamine and oral steroids adjusted to his weigh at reach at home so that the next time it develops you can immediately give him medicines as this can be dangerous if they appear on the neck, in mouth or inside. This can not be due to hematoma as it could not vanish within a night. |

I was actually expecting to get my periods yesterday, but i happened to take just 3 tablets of Promilut N. Im worried that if im pregnant, will it affect my pregnancy?? | Hallow Dear, Primolut N is a Progesterone preparation.

No history of cancer in family. Should I be concerned? | Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You may have enlarged axillary lymph node. It can be due to reactive hyperplasia, tuberculosis, lymphoma or metastatic carcinoma. You should go for fine needle aspiration cytology or biopsy of that lump. It will give you exact diagnosis.

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | Day before yesterday I accidentally stepped on an exposed two inch rusted nail that went through the sole of my shoe into my foot. The hole bled for a little bit and then I went to the hospital and took a tetnus shot. My foot is recovering and there is a swollen lump on my arm where the tetnus shot was given. Is a swelling normal in case of a tetnus shot? Any further suggestions for my foot? Am I still having any harmful or dangerous infections? Thank you. | Hi. Thanks for your query and an elucidated history. The swelling in a spot of tetanus shot can cause a swelling because of few reasons. Local reaction of the contents of the injections as this is a toxic / local inside bleeding (this is a blind procedure) / infection ... So the best way to have a good antibiotic cover along with anti-inflammatory medicines which will help for the injection site as well as the site of nail injury. If you want immediate immunity against tetanus, it is given by an Injection called ATS (anti-tetanus serum). The present dose works as a booster only, and is good if you are already immunized in the past. |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | Hello doctor,I had my tooth removed and a dental implant done five months ago. About three months ago it got infected. I went to my dentist, who cleaned out the infection and prescribed antibiotics. The infection did not go away, so I was prescribed antibiotics two more times. Once again, the infection is back. So over the past two months, I have gotten an infection four times and each time had been prescribed antibiotics, which seem to only temporarily fix the situation. I am at a bit of a loss for what to do because my dentist cannot seem to get rid of this infection. | Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor forum. That is hard that you got infected several times. If still infection persists, now your dentist must remove the implant and let the area heal. Maybe this foreign body is not accepted well by the immunity of your body so infection had occurred. Antibiotic coverage is enough once in a month, you are already given multiple times this means ultimately we have to remove the cause to get it right. Ask your dentist to do this removal work without much cost because five months is less period and comes under warranty period of time for an implant. Give me followup of your case in a week. Stay happy and blessed. Take care. |

Is the medicine not working properly. Should i change to any other medicine & what are the side effects of the above procedure. | Rival G is a hormonal medication which works like any other combined contraceptive pill. Most users take this pill for21 days and have a period thereafter. To stop periods it can be taken continuously. In that case sometimes break through bleeding is seen, which is happening in your case. In my patients who are around 40 yrs, smoke, are overweight or have high blood pressure I advise hormonal pills only if necessary. It would be a good idea to check with your doctor if you still need to continue the medication. Let me know if you have any other queries. Thanks |
