My 4 month old has been hoarse/raspy for a week and a half. He has a runny nose (clear discharge) and had been developing a mild cough. No fever. His doctor said Monday that it is allergies, but he just woke up with a deeper, raspier, almost barky cough. His breathing is almost wheezy at times. Should I be concerned?

Hello, Thank you for asking at Chat Doctor. I went through your daughters history and would like to make suggestions for her as follows:1. I would like to know more about her milk allergy symptoms. How was milk allergy diagnosed? If she is really allergic to milk, taking any milk product (be it curd, buttermilk, butter, milk biscuits, milk chocolates, etc.) can cause her allergic reactions.2. If she is not taking any milk products and still she develops allergic reactions, I would suggest allergy testing for other foods such as soy, ground nut, wheat, rice, egg, seafoods, tree nuts, etc. This will help you to identify the allergy, if any.3. Hives can occur even without allergies. Possible causes are viral infections, bacterial infections, parasites, Chat Doctor. 4. As she is getting hives since 2 months, I usually suggest my such patients investigations like serum total IGE, allergy testing for common allergens, complete blood counts, ESR, stool examination, urine examination, etc. However, before suggesting investigations, I always take a detailed history about her each and every symptom, diet, environment,

Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ? my name is pegah , I am 32 years old and this is my first pregnancy. I have never had miscarriages but when I started bleeding (hematoma) at 12 weeks my Dr decided to give me Proluton depot 500 mg injections. I have had 9 of them and the last one was week 20 (i think)...the hematoma was gone by week 19. i also take prenatal vitamins, extra iron, and a baby aspirin 80 which my Doc will not let me come off just yet. I am now 32 weeks pregnant and all scans have been good so far. I read on WWW.WWWW.WW that proluton 500 mg is category D and it has horrible side effects on the baby. i have not slept since then and have been crying as I am so scared i have permenantly damaged my baby. why would they adminster such a horrible drug? what are the chances that my baby may have future defects? I know my Dr gave me the shots cause it took me 2 years and a month of Clomet to get pregnant and she was and is paranoid I might lose the baby so she did everything to keep the child. But if I knew the side effects of proluton I would never agree to it. Please give me your opinion as I am going crazy and have no one to turn to. Please help. I also read that this drug is not given in any of the advanced countries anymore (i live in Iran).
|
Hi, Please do not worry, Proton is given in pregnancy to prevent miscarriage and preterm births, you need not worry about any side effects to the baby. It is routinely given and is also recommended by the American college of obstetrics and Gynecology for use in pregnancy to prevent preterm delivery. You need not worry. Baby aspirin can be taken up till delivery without any harm to baby. Hope this helps. Regards.

I ve had itchy rashes on my skin for many weeks now. It starts off as a red rash and is very itchy. Then they sort of flatten out and become brownish in colour, still a bit itchy at this point and then heal. I have them on the sides of my thighs both inner and outer and on my arms and back and abdomen areas. My GP has tried treatment for scabies , antibiotic ointment and even steroids but so far nothing has worked.

Hello doctor,I have anxiety and panic since five years. My GP had given Nexito forte and Veniz XR 37.5. And, I felt better and asked him to reduce the dosage two years ago. He stopped both and gave Nextio plus from then till date. I felt better. I did not smoke or drink while on treatment. 10 days back, I stopped taking the tablet. I drank half a beer at a party, and the anxiety disorder relapsed. I will not drink any longer. Now, my questions are as follows. I am on Nexito plus. Suppose there is a relapse, should I take Veniz XR 37.5? When I completely stop all the medications, and there is a future relapse, should I take Nexito forte, Nexito plus or Veniz XR?
|
Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor forum. It seems to be an anxiety disorder. You need to avoid the triggering factors that cause the relapse. Be it alcohol or something like smoking, family issues or financial problems. It is better to be on Nexito forte (Escitalopram and Clonazepam) during the episode of anxiety. If your symptoms were not controlled then, add on Veniz (Venlafaxine) to your medications. Meditation and yoga will help control the problem. For more information consult an internal medicine physician online

I am taking Tetralysal for my acne and also taking Cerazette the mini pill, i need the pill to work as a contraceptive but does the antibiotics affect this? Also i have got small patches of skin rashing on my face and i started both around the same time, is it more likely the antibiotics caused this?
|
Hi, Betrayal is a tetracycline antibiotic commonly prescribed to treat acne (pimples). Its common side effects include vomiting, stomach upset, diarrhea, headache and photosensitivity (phototoxic) of the skin. It does not reduce the efficacy of mini pill which is actually a progesterone-only pill. However, if you experience vomiting or diarrhea while taking betrayal this can potentially make your pill less effective at preventing pregnancy. Yes, the facial rash appears to be due to phototoxic effects of this antibiotic. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care

My 2 month old girl passes wind that smells... Last night she was hysterical with pain and very rigid for 40 mins... she is very placid normally.. I called the doctor and they said it could be twisted gut..what does this mean...i could not pacify her..very frightening
|
Hi, Welcome to the ChatDoctorFirst of all I would like to know does pain increase in the evening time, does she become so much cranky in the night. If yes then it could be because of wind (gas)in the stomach. You may first get ultrasound abdomen done to rule out twisted gut (which seems less likely) or any other cause of pain.Otherwise, it is take at least 6 months to get her intestine mature and without gas. You may also give her Chat Doctor.

HelloSign you are having persistent cough with difficult breathing. Such type of symptoms may be due to these reasons, these include.1 Asthmatic allergic bronchitis, some allergen produces bronchoconstriction and this causes Chat Doctor. Cough increase in the night due to fall of temperature. Predisposing factors are dust, mite, pollen, mold, sudden increase or decrease in temperature, fumes, smoking (active and passive). When such patient visit I advise my patient t to take montelukast+albuterol tablet once or twice in day till complete relief. Hot coffee and steam inhalation also provide relief. Codeine with chlorampheniramine male at cough syrup also help. But this causes addiction. Since this is a prescription

I m experiencing pain in the lower back and hurts to walk and stand. I had an appointment this morning with an orthopedic dr and he took x-rays. The disc between thr 4th and 5th lumbar is pretty much just a think line now. I was diagnosed with degenerative disease in the lower back about 10 years ago after an MRI. I will be doing another MRI after pre-authorization with insurance company. Dr. talked today about a possible epidural injection. Is this painful? Will this take care of the pain or will I need other injections down the road?
|
Hi, Thank you for posting your query. Lower back pain due to degenerative lumbar disc disease and prolapse of disc is a common problem. It is not a serious disease. MRI of the lumbar spine would clarify the diagnosis further. Epidural injections are standard treatment for severe lumbar pain. It is a very safe procedure. In addition, you would require good physiotherapy. Epidural injections may have to be repeated after three months. Best wishes, Chat Doctor.

Hello doctor,I have type 1 diabetes at 27 years old (diagnosed around eight years). Recently I was somewhat nauseous, and today diarrhea with a lime green tint. I read about diabetic enteropathy, but this is the first time I feel like it could be diabetic-related diarrhea mostly because I had not had much to eat other than peanut butter and jelly sandwich for breakfast and a juice box for lunch.I was 79 around 11 am, and at 8 am I was 118. The last few days I have been consecutively around 150-to-mid 200\s (but mostly in the 150 to 190 range). Otherwise, my numbers are generally stable overall, and I believe my last A1C was 6.8. I had two bowel movements today with diarrhea. I took my blood sugar just a few minutes ago, and it was 290, and going down (I gave myself a shot of Humalog to keep me steady for dinner). I was just a little worried because of the article I read on diabetic enteropathy. It is treatable by just keeping the blood sugar tighter, and I was a bit scared if it might be fatal. I assume it is, but I do intend to keep things better regulated after this. I need to be a bit more at ease after what I read. I did not want to contact my doctor if it is something I can fix with regulation.
|
Hello. Diabetic enteropathy is not diagnosed after a single episode of diarrhea. Usually, it is chronic and intermittent with regular bowel movements in between. Constipation can also be present. Diarrhea can occur during the night. There are other causes for acute diarrhea-most commonly infections, food poisoning, or adverse reactions to medications. I suggest you wait and see how this whole thing pans out. As long as there is no blood in the feces and no abdominal pain or fever, I would not worry about some serious underlying condition. Tighter control using insulin is possible but can be difficult due to hypoglycemic episodes. However, if you cut down on carbohy ChatDoctor. I suggest you go through these articles about this. Also, if you can afford or if your insurance covers it, try getting a CGM (continuous glucose monitor). I hope this helps. Please let me know if you have any other questions.

my husband is diabetic, he has not been well lately. His feet has been very swollen, and he got celulittis on one of his legs. Today when he woke up he had a rash all over his body. He went again to the doctor and the doctor said that he believes it is from his kidney. he put him on predisone 20 mg. 2 times a day. What I want to know is this a prelude to diaylsis. thank you.
|
Hi, welcome to Chat Doctor. Looking to your husbands' history, I as a nephrologist can understand your concern. In your husbands case, it is necessary to treat cellulitis with antibiotic first. Check basic urine report, S.creatinine and sonography to rule out kidney damage. It is not advisable to take prednisolone when there is active infection (cellulitis) in body. Consult nearby nephrologist with above reports, or you can get back to me also with reports. Swollen feet does not necessarily indicate need for dialysis. So, don't get panic. I think this would be helpful to you. Best wishes. TC. Chat Doctor.

Hi, Glucored Forte is a combination of Glibenclamide and Metformin commonly prescribed in the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus. It improves the blood glucose levels in adults when taken along with proper diet and regular exercise. Generally it is well tolerated by most of our patients however it may cause low blood sugar level (can be adjusted by the dose), abdominal cramps, diarrhea, deficiency of vitamin B12 and a serious condition called lactic acidosis.

Hello thanks for consulting at Chat Doctor,four main methods of managing saliva control problems:1. Conservative methods-It is important to assess for underlying problems that may be aggravating the saliva control problem, for example, the presence of nasal obstruction, dental disease or the use of medication that may be contributing to the problem.

Hello! Welcome and thank you for asking on Chat Doctor! Regarding your concern, I would explain that it is necessary a period of up to one week for the antihypertensive therapy to show its effect (when it is started or when changes are made). So, I agree with her doctor that you should wait before making some changes to this therapy. From the other hand, this is a tiny dose, but it is started in this way to avoid possible adverse effects related to amt as intake. So if her blood pressure is still above 130/90 mm Hg after a couple of days you should discuss with your doctor the possibility of a dose increase or adding another antihypertensive therapy. Hope to have been helpful! Best regards,

I had two fillings done today on the lower teeth, one was very deep and a large dose of anesthetic had to be used. The numbness was still around after 3-4 hours and I ate something small 3 hours later when I still had some numbness although I tried not to chew on that side of the mouth. I now have severe headache on my forehead and top of my head, its gradually worsening and keeping me up. What could the headache be from?
|
Hello pt-The most likely explanation to your symptoms is that the nerve inside the tooth may be inflamed. This can occur when the cavity and therefore the filling is very close to the nerve inside the tooth. The condition is called irreversible pulpits and the treatment is root canal therapy. There are simple tests a dentist can do to confirm this diagnosis. The radiating pain you are describing is not uncommon with inflamed or infected teeth.

Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern.

I just noticed a purple/yellow circular bruise on my right upper arm with a while lump in the middle...feels like the size of a pea. The entire bruise is about the size of a quarter. It doesnt hurt! I know it is not a bug bite, no shots and nobody has grabbed my upper arm. What could this be? My Grandmother on my Dads side had breast cancer.

Hi, Dear,thanks for the query to Chat Doctor virtual Clinic. I studied your query and understood your health concerns. The worry of the lump on your right upper arm, is only due to the fear of it being cancer, as your grandma had breast cancer. I reassure you, after studying the details of your query, that you should not worry about possibility of cancer in your right upper arm. Your lump appears to be an unknown insect bite. Possibility of it being boiled or sebaceous cyst is not there as the history is short. Hope this would resolve your query. Welcome for any further query in this regard. Write good review and hit thanks, if this reply helps you. Have a good day. Chat Doctor. N.

i have a little bit of blood in my urine, what could it be? i wiped some on toilet paper and it was a faint orange color, so it was not much, i 1st noticed it this morning when it hurt to pee, the pain was a decent amount, i got back from school and went to the bathroom again and it hurt again but a lot less than this morning. there is no one with diabetes in my family, so it might be UTI (even though i have never had sex).
|
First get your urine examination done to confirm whether it is urine in blood or something else. Most common cause for blood in urine is calculus. Common cause varies from male to female. UTI can cause blood in urine, but not the commonest cause. So to know the cause complete urine & sonography is required. Treatment depends on the cause. Start taking plenty of liquids it will definitely help you. Disclaimer

Last week went to my doctors with continual palpitations which had starte D one week ago occasionally then becoming continual . With in 5 minuets was in an ambulance to er. Put on a 24 hour drip. All bloods ok apart from really slightly low pottassium. X ray fine echo no problems. Now on betas bisoprolol 5mg. Final diagnosis was palpitations secondary to self terminating runs of vt (right ventricular outflow tract) my question is what does this mean ? Will it recur? I am terrified to go out now. Have an appointment with a cardio in 6 months time. Will have a7day ECG in 1month.
|
Hi, First thing is to confirm the diagnosis, first you are having 7 days ECG, if It's able to diagnose then its well and good, otherwise you should get electrophysiologist studies done, which is invasive study which can diagnose and treat the arrhythmia. Considering the same diagnosis, prognosis is usually good, it recurs but not very common. Averagely it recurs once in 3 years. You should continue to have medical management and definitive treatment is electrophysiologist studies and ablation which is successful in more than 80% patients. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Hi,I believe I have pinworms. My internet queries solidly indicate this issue. Ive been taking albenzole and mebendazole for a year now and they have not gone away. Albenzole is not a prescription item here and the mebendazole came from another country where its not a prescription item. Ive been to the doctor overseas here on three occasions, but they say its very rare here, but pinworms is what they suspect. Months before I started treatment they were all over me, I would put transparent tape around my hips and hundreds would get stuck on the tape. They were obviously just pouring out of my anus. I took the tape to the clinic here and it came back negative, but I really think they were clueless. It was so clear there were these little white v-shaped threads, how could they not figure it out? After I started albenzole they dimished a lot, but I still feel them crawling on my anus and walking on my scalp. It appears that they are living in my scalp, it appear they have moved though my bloodstream to different parts of my body. I have not seen this issue in my internet queries. I have a metal lice comb that I use daily to try to get rid of them on my head, but they come back daily. I was taking 1/2 tab albenzole for 5 days, then off for 5 days, but that didnt cure. Then I went to 1 tab per day, 5 days on, 5 days off, then 14days on. Still not cured. Then I used 250mg Mebendazole twice a day for 3 days, off for 5, 3 on, 5 off. Still not cured. Im guessing the eggs floating around may be one issue, but Im starting to think I have something far more serious going on. I have two dogs that stay on one sofa and am thinking they stir up the eggs. I have treated them for heartworms so unless they are reinfecting themself by breathing their own worm eggs (assuming they have worms, which I see no evidence that they do). The meds Im taking have reduced the worms but I am taking way too much and they are still around. I have followed all the different advice regarding sanitation, I am squeeky clean and wash my hands/nails with a nail brush, roller my bed linens with a lint roller after getting up and before sleeping, wash all clothes in hot water, carefully avoid breathing near my dirty laundry when Im changing clothes or putting stuff in the washer. I hope theres some good advice coming. Thank you.

HI, thanks for using Chat Doctor Pin worms, as you mentioned, do not usually travel to different aspects of the body. They are not present in the bloodstream, so it is not likely that they have traveled to different parts of the body. A stool sample sent to the lab would be able to determine if you have any parasites in the stool. Blood tests for complete blood count and ESR would determine if any infection is present. You are also correct in saying that using these medications persistently is too much, this is the reason you should have the tests done to see if you need to still take them. A gastroenterologist or infection control specialist may the best doctor for assessment. I hope this helps

My son is allergic to dust. Always hv mucuous secretion. He has to yake anti allergic medicine evernight. Bt still cough replase everytime with minute changes in weather or may be dust or allergens. What should we do? Do eggs creates cough? Pls let us knw.
|
Hello. Thank you for asking at Chat Doctor. I went through your sons history and I think he is having respiratory allergic disorder. I would like to know the age of your son. However, I assume he is pediatric age group. Personally I would suggest him to continue a Chat Doctor. If he has nose symptoms like obstruction, running nose, etc., I would suggest taking levocetirizine and montelukast. If in spite of being on these medications, he has intermittent cough, I would suggest you to consult a Pediatrician at time of his symptoms. A Pediatrician will examine his chest and decide what is the cause of coughing. For identification of allergy causing substance, allergy testing will be useful. Common allergy causing substances are those in our daily environment like house dust mite, molds, pollen, etc. Eggs do not create cough unless he is allergic to them. Hope this will be useful to you. Wish your son the best of the health. Regards.

I have been having pain in my lower back and abdomin for the past few days and now have a creamy discharge . I am 46 . I have had a hysterectomy but have had bladder problems in the past, tumor removed about 3 years ago. I was wanting to know what might be the cause of this and if I needed to be concerned. I usually don t go to the doctor unless I have to because I have no insurance. Thank You.
|
Hi and thank you so much for this query. I am so sorry to hear about what you have been through and the current pains and discharge. Considering your past history, it will be very important to get these symptoms checked out. They could represent an infection that needs investigation and treatment or otherwise more concerning conditions that could be linked to the previous surgery or the cancer. Getting examined and managed accordingly by your ORGAN would be great. I hope you find this helpful. Thank you for using our services, and please feel free to ask for more information if need be. I wish you the best of health.

I am Khalid , 30 years old , 83kg , 173cm, i have pain in The knee joint , i feel this pain during the movement or pressing and holding on my knee, i met the doctor and he advice me to take dorfine tablets for three months but there is no good improvement
|
Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor Thank you for providing the brief history. As there is no improvement with medicine I will advise for MRI of the knee. This will help understand the internal structures of the knee. For now do hot water fermentation, static Qua Chat Doctor. Also, straight leg raise will be good.this exercises will help improve the muscle strength and also improve the joint space while reducing the inflammation. Regards

Hello, Im 15 weeks pregnant and just found out about a week ago. For the weeks i didnt know i ate lobster.... didnt drink too much water.... smoked marijuana a couple times, and drank probably once at my sisters wedding....and could have eaten a little better. Is this going to harm my baby?
|
Hi, I understand your query & concern. Eating cooked lobster is not supposed to be harmful. So is the case with a solitary Chat Doctor. It should not be regular. But smoking Marijuana is definitely harmful in early weeks of pregnancy when primitive brain is formed. You should consult an embryologist, in case you had regular smoking of marijuana in the early pregnancy to decide about continuation of pregnancy. Thanks.

my wife went to walk about 12 miles. She put on bug spray with deet. When she was done, she had a red ring around her leg, right where the socks gather above her ankle. It had rained and she suspected that the rain washed all of deet into her sock and made it concentrated enough to cause the red rings around her leg. Any other reason why this would have happened. She did not get bitten on both legs or anything. Thank you.
|
Hi, As per your query your wife have symptoms of red ring rash on the leg. Need not worry. I would suggest you to keep this area clean and Chat Doctor. You should avoid touching or pricking rashes. If condition doesn't get better than consult dermatologist for proper examination. Doctor will examine physically along with blood test and sample for lab test. Doctor may prescribe immunosuppressants, antibiotics like clindamycin, anti-inflammatory or antifungal. Doctor may also prescribe benzoyl peroxide ointment. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

I have a 1yr old who started running a low fever yesterday. I noticed the two bottom molars are poking through the gums and associated the fever to that as she has had fevers with teething before. Last night it got as high as 103.4 degrees. I gave ib-profin and it came straight down. All day today it s been coming and going. Between being normal and 100. She wants to play but I can tell seems just a little tired at times. Eating is ok. Stool is not diahrrea but soft. No vomiting. Hands are slightly cold. No discoloration but face may be a tiny bit pale. What would indicate that it s from teething and what would indicate ear infection? Cold?
|
Hi, I am Chat Doctor. Since she is playing and active and accepting feed, it does not seem to a reason to be tensed. It is unlikely due to ear infection as there is no history of respiratory symptoms like running nose. Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow-up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questionsTake care.

I have elevated cpk levels as determined by a blood test. My doctor took me of liptor as a result. I have congestive heart failure and type 2 diabetes. Recently, after performing one test shortly after exercising my Rheum Doctor seem not to be concern with cpk coming from the brain or heart. Is there a way to lower cpk level? I weigh 400+ pound so perdiosine (?) is not an option.

THANK YOU AND PLEASED TO ANSWER Co-creating phospholipase elevations can be found without any healtChatDoctorplaints. CPK elevated levels enzyme come from the muscles active work.

Hello doctor,I am trying to have a baby but nothing is working out. When is the right time to conceive, either during fertile days or ovulation? I tried during fertile days, but nothing happened. Please explain. My cycle is 31 to 34 days.
|
Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor forum. If your cycle is 31 to 34 days long, then 13th to 24th day of your cycle is fertile period. You should have sex in the above period for at least on alternate days and this will increase the chance of having a pregnancy. Even if everything is normal then also, you do not need treatment for at least a year. There is naturally a minimum of one chance in 12 cycles in a year of having a pregnancy. You have only one chance of pregnancy if ovulation is normal in one cycle. So, there is one chance in 30 days and 12 chances in one year and this is when you have a normal cycle and ovulation. So it is a time-consuming process. Do not get frustrated. Just say that in one cycle, if you did not ovulate at all, then that chance is gone and you have to wait for the next. This is what you should first understand.

Dear patient If X-ray is normal means there is no fracture. On the one hand you are saying fracture is healed, and then you say X-ray report is normal. This is not possible. If your X-ray is normal you may have sprained your left ankle with ligament injuries. For which you are given slab for month. Sprain should be relieved by now and u should be pain free. If there is constant pain there should be other possibilities than sprain. I would like to advise MRI of the left ankle to rule out other pathology. Please get it done from radiology center nearby you. Meanwhile, start tab diclofenac sodium 50 mg twice a day for pain relief. Please consult orthopedic surgeon nearby your area with report.

hello Dr., my name is khushboo from Rajasthan. Its been 4 yrs of my marriage but i m not able to concieve. I am taking treatment from last two years. My first dr did my biopsy and found myco endobactirum TB. I took the medicines for about six months & den dey said its ok. last year in Aug2012 IUI was done. my follicles was not growing as expected so they give me injection of HMG 75mg. later that in dec12 i approached an other dr she did all my test and said everything was ok except the insulin level which was on higher edge. she said there may b a chance of PCOS but there is no symptoms of PCOS found in me except the small follicles found in sonography. now i am undergoing treatment with an other dr. she said its cervicitis. i undregone cautery in feb2013. still taking bactrium DS and probiotic tablets. she ask me to go for follicular study. report are as undre:10th day- few follicles in left ovary largest is 12.6*12 mm endo thickness is 5.6mm triple lining and no fluid seen in POD12th day- follicle size 13*13 mm endo thickness is 7.7 mm triple lining and no fluid seen in POD
|
Hi, Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Raised insulin level suggests insulin resistance that occurs in PCs. And it may be in early stage. Get checked for your sugar levels also. Usually in TB, most common is salphingitis and the ovum does not move into endometrium Since no problem in the structure you can conceive without problem. Now with the description the follicle size is increasing. So 2 days around your ovulation day you should actively involve in sex. So discuss with your doctor and follow her advice. Hope I answered your question. Consult your doctor for further examination and management. Feel free to ask me if you have any further queries. Wish you good health. Take care. Regards

Hi Doctor.. My 2 year old sons teeth have been turning into a blackish color since a few days now. The only change that we can say is that we have been using Vitcofol Iron Syrup since a couple of weeks now. Is this a cause of concern? Should we stop using Vitcofol?
|
Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Read your query. Vitcofol iron syrup do cause staining of the teeth. If I were your treating dentist, I would suggest you to clean or gargle the mouth immediately after having the medicine.Also, dilution of the syrup with some juice or water will also help in preventing the stains. If the stains are increasing, consult the pediatrician. Hope this was helpful. Thanks and regards.

What is the cause of this?

Hello. Allergic rhinitis is a perrinial manifestation of allergic reactions to unknown triggers. Also you may have coexisting allergic conjunctivitis. Though, Prick test is negative for most of the allergens, we can not neglect the role of unknown allergies in your case. So I advise you to do blood allergy test with All Full Panels including environmental, food, ChatDoctor. Definitely we will be able to find out the single cause for your allergy.

Hi This is heena here I m suffering in typhoid from 10 days.. My Mom and Dr. Also had told me that i have to cut my hair.. I wanted to know that is it necessary to cut my hair for typhoid if yes.. Then please tell me in detail why its require...? Thanks Heena Naqib Ingaiya
|
Hi Helena, Thanks for posting in Chat Doctor. I understand your concern. It is not compulsory to cut hairs while having and getting treated for typhoid. However, it might have been advised so because many would experience severe hair fall during or after the period of illness and its treatment, which may be bothersome. This occurs due to a state of hair under-nutrition and falling out during the period of recovery (convalescence). The hair usually grows back within a few months. You can provide good nutrition to hair by eating a lot of fruit, Chat Doctor. Hope the information provided would be helpful. All the best and wish you good health.

Hello, Thank you for posting on Chat Doctor. Complexion of any person is having two components; constitutive, one which is predetermined by genetics and racial factors and usually cannot be changed with any treatment. The other component is due to external agents like environmental exposure, sunlight, use of any cosmetics etc. and is amenable to treatment. You can get a series of chemical peels, which actually remove the upper dead layers of skin and stimulate regeneration of collagen and thus newer layers of skin. Many options are available in chemical peels depending on the requirement and skin type. (Glycol peel, retinol peel, cocktail peel etc.)Also, chemical peeling can be preceded by a simple procedure called microdermabrasion or commonly known as skin polishing to augment the results. Also, at home you can try using cream containing comic acid, betray Chat Doctor. Always use broad spectrum sunscreen before going out in sun.

Hallow Dear, Depo Proverb is long acting slow release Progesterone preparation. It should not give any symptoms like headache, aches, malaise or weakness, particularly 4 hours after the injection. It seems that you are having flu or such viral infection. You need to take some antipyretic painkiller like Paracetamol. Steam inhalations will give you some symptomatic relief. It is advisable to take hot Chat Doctor. Ginger powder mixed with Jagger in hot milk is good in such symptoms. Hope this helps you.

Hi Elise, Thank you and welcome to Chat Doctor From your description you are presenting with a hematoma or an abscess. A doctor will need to take a closer look at it to evaluate. Do you present with any other symptoms like fever, chills, joint pains etc. which could be signs of infection?

yesterday I had hardened skin over muscles where the backbone ends (gluteus maximus muscles I guess) in my buttocks. No pain, not really itchy. For the previous 1-2 days I ate a lot of pastries with wallnuts and sugar in it. I also have some kind of arthristis in my joints (a rheumatologist from Istanbul is trying to diagnose at the moment - she says it may be spondillitis). Back to my hardened skin, I took a claritine (10 mg) last night and it looks like it is almost totally gone. Why did that happen? It was first time in my life.
|
Hi Hope this message finds you in good health. Such kind of hardened skin occurs due to para spinal muscle spasm. Due to inflammation, the skeletal muscles under the skin go into spasm and become stiff. This occurs if you have underlying lumbar spondylitis. Get an MRI of the backbone done to diagnose. Taking muscle relaxant tablets will help. Hope your query has been answered back to me for any doubts that you may have. Kind Regards

Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Yes, tight hugging can cause Costco Chat Doctor. And your symptoms are suggestive of the same.

Eyes were allergy itchy most of day. Feel fine now.

Welcome to Chat Doctor. This occurs due to some changes in vestibule system in the ear it is called vertigo. In your case triggering factor is stress. You can take tab.betahisidine 8 mg for it after your doctors' advice. Try to avoid stress, take proper sleep, eat good nutritious diet. If it is recurrent than go for complete blood tests. Correct anemia and other deficiency. Your blood pressure should be checked. You can use anti-allergic eye Chat Doctor. Consult your physician for perfect diagnosis and medical management.

Hi, my father in-law went to the doctors yesterday and they found a lump down his food pipe. They have cut a bit out to send of for tests and we are waiting for the results. He is very scared that it could be cancer do you think this could be the case and if so is it currable?
|
Hi, Thanks for writing to Chat Doctor. There are more likely chances of the growth being a cancer. Because of his age and also since he has swallowing problem. Non cancer growth occur in younger people and won't cause much of swallowing difficulty. Once the tissue report will confirm it is cancer you need to endoscopic ultrasound and CT scan of chest to know the stage of cancer. On getting to know the stage of cancer we can tell it is curable or not. It may come as non cancer growth, but chances are less. Also, health of your father-in-law is important for outcome.

Hi, I m a 31 female and I fell hard on my right knee a week ago. My knee immediately swelled all over, but especially on the right side--there was a bump a little larger than a golf ball. I could walk on it, though it was sore, and I immediately went home and iced it and elevated it. The next day was more painful, but, again, I could still walk. The swelling went down, and now, a week later, it s terribly bruised and still painful--especially when I touch it, try to kneel, and sometimes even bend it). My main concern is that there s a solid hard painful bump that s the size of maybe a large marble (?) right were the major swelling occurred. Do you think I just need to keep icing it, or should I see a doctor for an x-ray?
|
Hi, Ideally X-Ray should be done of the affected knee joint just to be sure that the bones are ok, because sometimes even a small displaced crack manifests with pain and difficulty in ambulation only. As far as swelling is concerned, it could just be an organized hematoma, but my concern is that if there is a significant hematoma over the joint, it usually suggests a significant soft tissue injury inside the knee joint which can be meniscus or a Ligament injury, so ideally 3 weeks of Rest and Ice packs and even after that your symptoms are still there kindly visit your Orthopedic specialist and get necessary investigations done. Till that time as I have mentioned. - Ice Packs 3-4 times a day- Compression bandage- Anti-inflammatory medication along with medicine to reduce swelling. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care

i have a SGPT level of 262 which is very abnormal in my case. I rarely drink alcohol and I have continuously maintained a normal level of these tests for years until last week. I can recall eating high uric acid foods approximately 10 days prior my lab test. Did this have any effect on the lab results?
|
Hellraiser SGPT is most likely not related to eating high uric acid foods. Increased SGPT may indicate liver injury. It may be due to many reasons like hepatitis, alcohol intake, altered lipid profile, medicines,autoimmune causes etc. You may need few more investigations like routine hologram, viral markers, ANA factors, ultrasound of abdomen. I suggest tablet ursodeoxycholic acid 300 mg twice daily for three months to my patients. It helps in regeneration of liver cells. You may need to take more medicines after complete investigations. Get well soon. Take Care Chat Doctor.

About two weeks ago, my left big toe was slightly tingly. Last night, both my toes were numb at the tips and slightly tingly. I just ate a very late dinner and the very tip of my tongue is slightly tingly....I m a 23 year old male that is very active. Can you help?

Hello, As I understand from the history this should be just a change of posture led to nerve entrapment temporary. This will get over on its own without anything much to worry about. But if the symptoms are prolonging for longer than we might need to do some blood routine to rule out any pathophysiological changes in the body. Till then just observe the symptoms and wait and see if its increasing of reducing. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Jay In Chat Doctor.

Yes! I had double knee replacements on Feb. 2008, At the time the Dr. told my husband my left knee was too small , and he had a hard time with it. Then I also was found to have a blood clot in that calf. That replacement has never worked right, THEN, 8 weeks after the surgery, I suddenly began to have a very itchy, red bumpy rash from the knee down the front & inside of that leg. and all these years I keep being told that I have dry skin even though I continually apply several types of creams, aquaphor, even steroid creams subscribed for me. Then in Oct. 2012 it began same way on my right leg; below the knee. I have asked & asked if I could be allergic to the glue & commented that I was not asked about Nickel, ( I am allergic to it), but was told that there was no Nickel. I am so frustrated, & with constantly using the steroid cream, my skin is very thin, red & all my blood vessels now are prominent! It is an ever on going discomfort. Do you think this could be from the glue or a bit of Nickel in the Prothesis?

Hi Hope this message finds you in good health. I have gone through your complaints and understand your concern. You are right, the redness may be due to allergic reaction to some type of chemicals used in the manufacturing of implants, A possibility of a low level infection should also be kept in mind. Get a X-ray done to see the wear and tear of implant material. Nothing to worry about. I hope your question has been answered. If you have any follow-up queries, feel free to consult me anytime. Thanks, Take care, God bless.

Our friend has stage 4 tonsil cancer. he went by way of alternative treatment and did radiation and hyperthermia treatment. This started in Fall of 2009. It worked until February of this year. He was given a high dose of steroids that made him very ill. While he was being weaned off the steroids for two months his tumor markers went up. He is stage four and cant eat or drink. He is in Los Angeles and just wanted to know where to go from here. They are looking at taking him to City of Hope. Thank you for your time.

Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. He has tonsil cancer, and it is of stage 4. So surgery will not work. Chemotherapy and radiotherapy remains the treatment of choice. However, it can not cure the disease. Despite treatment prognosis remains poor. Life expectancy is not good. Sorry to say, but one should not expect much from this case. Consult your doctor and plan accordingly. Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Wish you a very good health.

My 9-year-old daughter is suffering from blood cancer(Pre B-cell ALL). Her treatment was started in Aug-21 2012 under BFM protocol and now she is in remission and undergoing her maintainance phase.Can she take nutrilite products alongwith her chemotherapy?Does it really help cancer patients?If yes, then plz suggest which products to take?
|
Hi, Thanks for asking. Based on your query, my opinion is as follows.1. Yes, she can take.2. Nutritive products would contain protein importantly along with essential nutrients. These help in buildup of immunity and also helps in the building the cells damaged due to chemotherapy.3. She can also add fish, eggs, pulses, legumes and green leafy vegetables to her diet. It will help her in fighting cancer. Hope it helps. Any further queries, happy to help again.

ESR was 130, which went down to 100 after an antibiotics course. Had fever for 10-15days around 103-104 initially and later on lowered to 100 and now it s normal however esr is still 100 and a bad cough. chest x-ray and whole abdomen ultrasound came out fine. what could it be?
|
Hi, Thanks for asking. Based on your query, my opinion is as follows.1. ESR will take longer to come down.2. C-reactive protein or CRP is more of an immediate marker for inflammation. Get a CRP done to identify the level of inflammation.3. Try salt water gargling along with lozenges to soothe throat. 4. ESR will take another month to get back to normal.

hello sir i had a fit on 3 august as i went to vaishno devi 2 times with right side frequent movement i consulted the doc with eeg and mri all reports show no traces of convulsion he prescribed me levipil 500 i feel very lazy after taking it please help me what should i do?
|
Hello, I will suggest you to continue the level. The presence of any clue in EEG and MRI brain is not mandatory for diagnosis of epilepsy. Two events are mandatory for diagnosis. It's best to get a mobile video or CCTV video of fits, and you show it to your physician or a tell-tale story word by word as seen by any person who was accompanying you at that time to be told to your physician. If doctor is confident that you had fits only then he has prescribed you anti-epileptic. Mild laziness do occur with all anti-epileptics. If you can't tolerate it, your doctor will either reduce its dose or he will switch you to some other Chat Doctor. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Hi, as you mentioned pain and swelling in the knee joint it may be due to early degenerative chances in the knee joint. Initially taking a rest and applying ice provided you don't have diabetes. If you have diabetes you need to use hot water fermentation. Later on performing slow static qua Chat Doctor. Also performing ankle toe movements and straight leg raise will help reduce swelling improve the strength. With the grace of God I wish you a good health.

my son 26 yrs old just got out of rehab 3 days ago. he is on fluoxitine hcl 20 mg. He was diagnosed with bipolar disorder a few months ago. today he had a wicked panic attack. crying, hating his life, hitting his head. it lasted half of the day. he also says that he doesn t like the medicine makes him feel. should he stop taking this medicine?iz
|
Hello! Welcome on Chat Doctor ! Regarding your concern, you should know that fluoxetine does not seem to be very effective in controlling his symptoms. For this reason, I would recommend discussing with his psychiatrist on the possibility of making some changes to his actual therapy. In this regard, increasing fluoxetine dose may be necessary, coupled with further add on therapy like valproate or clonazepam, in order to manage his anxiety. Lithium therapy may be needed. You should discuss with his doctor on the above treatment options. Hope you will find this answer helpful! Best wishes,

Hello doctor,I have noticed there is some pimple like structures on my scrotum skin. Is it warts? I do not have sexual relation with anyone till now. My father is suffering from eczema. Is it due to that? And also, I am seeing white spots on the inner part of the penis. Is it penile papules? Please suggest some medicines to overcome this. I feel shy on a face-to-face consultation. That is why I chose the online mode. Please help me.
|
Hello. I have noted your concern and I have viewed the images (attachment removed to protect patient identity). You have sebaceous cysts of scrotal skin. They are not warts. Sebaceous cysts need to be removed surgically. The raised lesions on the corona of glans are penile papules. They are quite normal. There is no need for treatment. If you still want to get rid of penile papules for cosmetic reasons then you may need to go for a Laser- CO2 laser vaporization. For more information consult a dermatologist online

I have terrible burning lips , hoarse sore throat and sometimes sore mouth, seems to be caused by fragrances, my husbands deodorant, laundry powder I use, some shampoos, doctors have given me medication for GERDS, sent me to dentist , but Im thinking allergy to fragrances ... not chemicals, have changed a lot of products I use and it seems to be fragrances. I wake up every morning feeling like my lips are sunburnt and it gets worse when Im in contact with any fragrances
|
Hello, If your symptoms are definitely after contact with perfumes, you need to get a patch testing done. This test looks at delayed hypersensitivity to chemicals. A list of chemicals is chosen from the Standard Battery or from the Cosmetic series, applied at the back, kept for 48hrs, and reviewed to see the reaction. Depending on the grade of reaction, 1 to 4+ and the type of chemical, you are given specific advice. Antihistamines and lip balms will help until you can get this test and see what the chemical is. Best Wishes.

|
Hi dear, After going through your query it looks you are having severe anxiety related to death. Start doing deep breathing exercise daily. Before going to sleep you should do some meditation, you lie down in bed and starting from foot come upwards feeling that every part of your body is relaxed. Then feel that mind is relaxed and enter sleep. I usually prescribe clonazepam for initial period to patients visiting my clinic along with paroxetine.

Hi, doctor, my lower back starts aching if I stand a lot. Actually at my work , I stand the whole time approximately 6 to 8 hours and I work really hard... after like 4 or 5 hours I feel this pain in my back in the two kidney areas....if am not working for a couple days and not standing continuously this pain won t appear. Whenever this pain comes in, it feels very uncomfortable to stand. it feel like my body is gonna fall apart at my lower back..and I will have to bend my body..I am afraid if this has to do anything with my kidney. Do you have any suggestions?... sincerely, elizabeth
|
It's not connected with kidney. Continuous standing causes fatigue and some pressure on vertebral column which in turn affects lumbosacral region of spine. Look for some swelling in lower limbs or any radiating pain to legs. If not, OK. Hot water bath, some spray or light herbal oil massage over back at night will strengthen the lumbar sacral region to overcome fatigue. Additionally, if need be, Rumply forte Ayurvedic tabs will help a lot. Turmeric powder 1/2 tsp in warm milk or water Chat Doctor. Hope it helps.

Hello, A constant cough in this setting definitely requires exclusion of:(1) heart failure, with other symptoms of shortness of breath, unable to lie flat and swelling of the legs; an ECHO would be required; (2) chest infection, a Chest X-Ray is definitely required; (3) medication induced cough, the common one being April or captopril or lisinopril group of Chat Doctor. You must see your Cardiologist to exclude the above 3 common causes, as only after seeing a doctor will he be able to exclude other rarer causes or causes more relevant in the current setting. I hope this was useful. Best Wishes.

Hello friend. Welcome to Chat Doctor Forum. I read your concern and there is no need to be worried about health status.

Hello doctor. I am a girl of 23 years old and live in Mauritius. I have been suffering from OCD since 2-3 years and am not following any treatment. I came to know about my problem through this website itself but i can`t follow any treatment since my parents are not supportive. They know that am doing all those rituals like washing hands etc and taking long hours of bath because i feel that am dirty.They know the reason why i behave like this but they do not accept that am suffering from a problem. They scream everytime and say that one day i`ll definitely kill them with the way i behave. Am really fed up and i feel my life has become like hell. My parents always scold at me and they say all this is in my mind and i must know how to fight with it. I wanted to consult a psychologist without letting my parents know about it but since am not working i depend upon them and i was waiting for the day when i get a job to start a treatment. I always cry when they scream at me and now they have started to keep a watch on me when i have a bath etc but i feel more stressed with their attitude. Yesterday my mum was so angry with me that finally she contacted a psychologist.She did this only to make me fear but actually am happy that finally i`ll be able to go and consult a psychologist. But what is making me worried is whether the psychologist will understand my problem?Will my parents understand me after that and try to atleast support me?
|
Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor. Thanks for your query. I understand that you must be going through a difficult time trying to deal with your obsessive-compilsive symptoms. I'm sorry to hear that your parents are not being understanding and supportive to you regarding this. Unfortunately, many people have a poor understanding of psychiatric disorders and some even have a negative attitude towards them. Anyway, it's good that you have got an appointment with a psychologist. Don't worry, psychologists are well-trained professionals who will be able to explore and ascertain your psychological problem. They will also be supportive to you and advise you and your parents on further management of your problems. Once your parents are able to understand the nature of your problem and that it requires professional help, I'm sure they will be more understanding and supportive. Wish you all the best.

Hi, Since the birth of my daughter I was advised to do routine urine test. The pre-birth scans detected some extra growth of left pelvic kidney Pipe(dont know the medical name). even after delivery at 3 months and 6 months we did similar scans. 3 months scan was okay. 6 months scan again detected growth of that tube. On Surgens and Drs suggestion we did some special PET scan. Since then we have been regulary consulting surgen and padeatrician on monthly basis after doing urine test. Everything was ok and under control. But suddenly this month test revealed puscells to be 18-20 HPF which were required to be in a range of 0-5 HPF. On Surgens guidance we have repeated immediate some special urine test, of which results are awaited in three days time. Just want to understand, in worst case my 10 months daughter will need to undergo sergical operations. We are giving her sporidex on daily basis to control the infection, if any.
|
Hello, As a urologist, I can understand your anxiety. The pipe you're referring to is called ureter. It connects kidney to the bladder. Growth of the ureter is a normal process. There's no indication to repeating the scan at 3-month intervals. Next scan at 1 year age is enough. Review that with a urologist. Urine showing extra pus cells is suggestive of an infection, confirmed on culture test. This will also show, if an antibiotic needs to be started, if infection is present. It would be better to consult a urologist or a pediatrician. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Hi, Its not safe to take weed while on Federal. If taken along with Federal, weed (cannabis) may have additive blood pressure lowering effects resulting in profound hypotension. You may experience headache, dizziness, lightheadedness, fainting, and/or changes in pulse or heart rate. Use caution when getting up from a sitting or lying position. Take care.

Hi doc, I am a 34year old.Was diagnosed with TB two months earlier and was taking combination of 3medicines R-cinex cap,PZA Ciba 750,PZA Ciba 500 &Combutol 800 for 2 months. Right now I am on R-cinex for the next 7 months. Combutol & PZA have been discontinued as advised by the doc on the onset of the treatment. From a couple of days have noticed the sputum has returned.More recurrent in the morning hours and from 2days have also noticed a little droplet of blood sometimes in the sputum. Want to know has the TB strain recurred?I am out of the country; should I restart the medicines in this case?
|
Hello! I can understand your concern. You are on the right treatment for your TB. TB infection needs treatment for at least 6 months to get healed. Until then, it's quite possible to have cough and at times blood tinged sputum. You can take tab. Transgenic acid which helps you reduce the bleed. I would suggest you get a Chest x-ray and sputum tested for TB bacilli. Also check how far your appetite and weight have improved since you began taking anti - TB medications. These will help to understand how well your disease is improving. Hope my reply helps. Do Chat Doctor.

Hi, It can retrograde ejaculation, sperm in urine. Taking urine complete test will help you diagnose, or doing a urine complete after 30 min of masturbation will confirm the diagnosis of retrograde ejaculation. It can be a urinary tract infection. Doing urine culture sensitivity will help you diagnose. It can be prostate inflammation, dong an ultrasound pelvis will help diagnose. Hope I have answered your query.

Hello doctor,I am 25 years old. I have been diagnosed with essential thrombocythemia. The reasons are elevated platelet count (about 700,000 to 900,000 platelets per microliter of blood), positive JAK2 V617F mutation analysis, etc. There are different opinions coming from doctors in my country. Avoiding details, some advice me to take Hydroxyurea, some say that Hydroxyurea is unacceptable for guys of my age because of hard side effects and advise me to take Interferon alpha. Some say that I should not take any medicines and exclude disaggregates and I should just monitor platelets count to be lower than 1,000,000 and some other indicators. Kindly advise.

Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor forum. I had gone through your question I can understand your concern. No, you do not have to live with it throughout your life.

My 5yo son has been having very loose stools every time he poops. He was in to see his pediatrician last Thursday & again this Monday. Xray revealed foreign object 2mm in size in his stomach last Thursday. On Monday, they did a follw up xray & saw that it passed. Bloodwork done & came back normal, one level indicating he s getting over a virus. Doctor has him off dairy, he s drinking lactaid for about a week to see if that helps w/ his belly aches. But he still has a white Puss, & yellow, loose stool every time he goes. If his bloodwork & xray are normal, this rules out anything cancer related? What should I keep watch for & report to doctor? Should I get sample?
|
Hi, why are you worried about cancer it is not clear to me. In pediatric age group common cancers are hematological and in some case neurological. Your symptoms not indicating any of this. Frequent loose stool very common in childhood most commonly due to rotavirus. If not controlled then total biochemical and stool exam to be done to rule out any enzyme deficiency or some other benign cause. Consult your pediatrician.

I had a ct scan and they said that I have a small spot that is thin on my aorta it is in the abdominal area and they were doing a ct scan of my chest. they want to do another ct of my abdoman to zero in on the spot is this something that sounds like I should consider doing.
|
Hi ! I had gone through your question and I understand your concern. The conditions when we find thin spot in abdominal aorta we call it Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm. Depending on the size of the spot you may have symptoms or no. When you start to have abdominal or back pain, it shows that the spot is getting bigger or a rupture. A CT is used to measure the size and the anatomy of the spot . The spot that are more than 5 -6 in diameter must be repaired less than that we keep monitoring. The thing that you should do is to quit smoking if you do. Check you blood pressure, It's important to keep it low. Less than 140/90 Check your cholesterol level , take statins (atorvastatin) if it's high. Wish you good health. Thank you for using Chat Doctor.

Hello doctor,A little over two years ago, I experienced some stress in my life that resulted in a high level of anxiety and depression. I was prescribed Paxil and took it for one year. At the time, I was also taking Diovan and Atenolol for hypertension, Pantoprazole for reflux, and Simvastatin for high cholesterol. One positive side effect of the stress was that I lost 25 lbs and went from 195 lbs to 170 lbs. I also started to eat more healthy foods and started to exercise regularly. One effect of my anxiety and depression is that I would awaken frequently during the night and morning between 3 AM and 5 AM and feel very agitated and get panic with upsetting thoughts. Over the past year or so, I have managed to improve my condition with counseling, meditation, etc. I am also no longer taking any medicine since my health dramatically improved. I am at the point where I am doing well, but still awaken very early about 4 or 5 AM, no matter when I go to bed I feel very anxious and my heart starts to pound. I used to have bad thoughts, but I have managed those and now just feel the physical feelings. The thoughts diminish gradually throughout the day and seem to end at about 5 PM. I am wondering whether I have a cortisol or adrenaline problem. What are your thoughts regarding the same? Please guide.

Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor forum. 1. Have a thyroid function test done first for given weight loss and heart pounding.2. You should also consider seeing a primary care physician PCP and have an electrocardiogram EKG done. Revert back with the details asked and to an endocrinologist online.-

why do i get a really bad stomach ache, start sweating, feel dizzy, blurry vision and my ears feel cloaged. . it feels like im going to faint, i actually have fainted about 4 times in my 19yrs of life and when i do its usually these symptoms that i get. . can you give me an answer as to what it can posibly be?
|
These symptoms are quite alarming. Have you got any investigations done? Do you get heart burn or pain in upper abdomen? Where is the pain most often - Which area of abdomen? You could be having an ulcer in your stomach or duodenum(small intestine) or it could also be due to low sugar levels or inflammation of the Pancreas. I would suggest you get your liver function tests done as well as an Ultrasound abdomen and if they are normal then an Upper GI Endoscopy. But before that please reply with your sex, weight and location of pain and also whether you have ever had vomiting with or without blood or have had black tarry stools? Will wait to hear from you. Take care.

Hello, Read your query, as you have habit of chewing tobacco this habit of chewing gut is not good for your health, and it causes many lesion in oral cavity firstly I will advise you to quit your chewing gut habit completely as due to this chewing habit you may have attrition, recession, or pocket formation in oral cavity which causes sensitivity. For this now you should consult dentist and go for oral examination and oral prophylaxis to have good oral hygiene and as oral prophylaxis reduces bad breath also. Do warm saline gargle two - three times a day, do chlorhexidine mouthwash twice daily, properly brush your teeth twice daily. Hope this will help you.

I am 14 years old and I think I m depressed, when I look at myself I wonder why i even bother because life doesn t feel worth getting up in the morning for and I would rather be dead than carry on. I look at the future and instead of seeing a way out, I just see a load of closed doors. I can t handle my life anymore, the slightest thing makes me want to cry and never get up again, and I feel stressed all the time and speak to people in ways that normally I wouldn t. I kind of distance myself from people because I think they won t understand. I don t feel any motivation anymore to do anything constructive or worthwhile, because it all seems so pointless.

Hi Joseph, Welcome to Chat Doctor, and thanks for your question... I can understand how difficult and distressing it must be to going through such feelings. From the picture you have given, I think you are definitely in the midst of a depression. Feeling low, lack of motivation, social with Chat Doctor. Are all symptoms of depression. Often, when we are depressed, our thoughts and attitudes can get clouded due to the depression and we don't feel like even seeking help, as everything seems pointless and a mere waste. It is a positive thing that you have a good insight about your feelings and are able to recognize that you may be going through depression. Now, it is very important to seek help for this, without hesitating or postponing. I would suggest that you first talk to someone close to you... may be your parents or relatives ...and let them know what you are going through. You will also need professional help from a psychiatrist who would be able to assess you in detail and treat you appropriately. There are various options available - talking therapies, medication, etc. and you will be able to come out of this soon. Wish you all the best. -

Hi, For the last two days I have been suffering terrible dizzy spells. The first time was yesterday when I was getting gas for my truck and almost passed out. I became extremely shaky and couldn t walk straight. I went home and had my roommate drive me to the ER. There they did a blood, and urine test while checking my blood sugar and blood pressure. When I saw the dr he said that I was dehydrated due to having a very concentrated urine sample. Today I have been drinking plenty of water and have also eaten food. I however am still getting terrible dizzy spells and it seems like when I have to do a bowel movement these spells come on. I have to work in a couple days and cannot afford to loose my job, please help me understand what s going on. Thank you
|
Hello! Thank you for asking on Chat Doctor! I read your question carefully and understand your concern. Your symptoms may be related to an inner ear problem. Are your dizzy spells triggered by the head movements? As you refer all your lab tests have resulted normal. I would recommend consulting with the ENT specialist and perform an electronystagmography and labyrinthine test to exclude the inner ear as a possible cause of this symptomatology. Another issue is your blood pressure. An orthostatic hypotension would cause lightheadedness and dizzy spells, exacerbated by standing up. A head up tilt test would be useful to rule out this possible disorder. Meanwhile, I recommend betahistine twice daily for some days. Hope to have been of help! Best regards,

I had tooth pulled 6 weeks ago and the dentist broke a piece of my maxilla. I am having severe pain in my jaw that goes by my ear and up the right side of my head totally up to the top of my head. I use a heating pad and take Ibuprofen around the clock. How long should this take to heal? I am miserable.
|
Hi. Welcome to Chat Doctor . As per your query the healing depends upon the depth extent of fracture as well as whether it is in a condition that it will resolve on its own or needs surgical intervention for resolution. I would suggest you to consult an Oral Surgeon and get evaluated and along with clinical evaluation a thorough radiographic evaluation is a must for ruling out the extent of fracture and time duration of healing. In case if the broken segments are not in their original position they will fuse in wrong positions and cause further complications. In case if the broken segments have moved away they will not fuse and there will be continuous pain and discomfort and will require manual reduction and fixation of the fracture segments. Pain can also be due to unhealed sockets known as Chat Doctor. . As of now you should take higher painkiller like Tramadol for relief but consulting an oral surgeon is a must. Hope this information helps. Thanks and regards.

hey.. I was adopted and a while back I thought there was something wrong with me.I recently found out my biological dad had schizophrenia and looking at the symptoms it makes a lot of sense.I have many of the symptoms, but my mum think I am being stupid, so she cant know.
|
Hello and thanks for your query. Heredity is just one of the factors responsible for the causation of Schizophrenia. If one of your parents have Schizophrenia, then the risk of you getting Schizophrenia is about 10%. You have mentioned that you are having some symptoms of Schizophrenia, but you have not given any details. If you are worried or concerned, then I would suggest that you consult a psychiatrist for a detailed evaluation and psychological assessment.

Hi, You seem to have halogen effluvium. It may be due to some cause. Most common cause is psychological upsets like anxiety, worries,tension or depression. Other causes may be thyroid dysfunction, vitamin and mineral deficiencies, anemia, other internal diseases, Chat Doctor. .you consult dermatologist for firm diagnosis and treatment. Blood investigations may be done to find out some internal cause. You may take biotin containing tablets for long time along with vitamin E cap. You may apply mild steroid lotion like beclomethasone lotion on scalp at night. Mild herbal shampoo and almond oil may be used. Have patience for the result. I hope you got my answer. Thanks.

I am currently on the Depo shot. Ive only received three and my next shot is due at the end of this month. I dont plan on getting another shot. I want to try and get pregnant. How long does it normally take for the shot to wear out of my system and when will I be able to conceive?
|
Hi, after taking demo injection for Long, it takes at least 6 months to 1 year to get the ovaries back to normal. Ovulation gets suppressed. So, you may take 6 months to 1 year to get pregnant. If you want to be pregnant sooner, you can take some medicines like camphene for the growth of your follicles. Track your follicles' growth by repeated ultrasound and when your follicles is more than 17 mm, take injection for rupturing the follicles. Be in contact with your husband for next 2 to 3 days. Take progesterone for next 2 weeks. Do a urine pregnancy test at home after that. You can try like that for 3 to 6 months. It will increase chances of your pregnancy. Hope I have answered your question. If you have any other query I will be happy to help. Regards Chat Doctor.

Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. In my opinion you are having scar tissue. Lung scar can be due to any past insult in the lung. It can be1. TB2. Pneumonia3. Lung contusion. Any insult in the lung heals by scar tissue. So no need to worry much about this as this is harmless. You can get done CT THORAX and bronchoscopy with BAD (Bronchi Alveolar Lavage) analysis for further evaluation of lesion.

Every morning my baby will wake up with vertical nystagmus and sometimes he will have an upward gaze. It started 2 weeks ago when he was sick with a cold and ear infection. He had an EEG and the results were normal. We have an appointment to see a neurologist in two weeks. I am very concerned. What is the cause of this?
|
Hello, Thanks for choosing Chat Doctor for posting your query. I have gone through your question in detail and I can understand what you are going through. Many times seizure disorders can get missed in the single EEG. What is required is multiple EGGS and if possible EEG's with photic stimulation. Seizure disorder is a most likely diagnosis but occulogyric crisis is also one of the possible etiologies and this can occur as a side effect of some Chat Doctor. Are you baby on any medications? That needs to be checked. Your neurologist visit is certainly warranted. Hope I am able to answer your concerns. If you have any further query, I would be glad to help you. In future if you wish to contact me directly, you can use the below-mentioned link:bit.ly/

i heard about pomelos being good for high blood pressure , UTIs esp. in pregnant women. i also heard that Cranberry juice thins the blood...... this suggests to me that a life-long healthy diet will prevent health problems from starting. And drugs for each problem are derived from the foods / vitamins / minerals that the patient is actually avoiding. would you agree with my conclusion. I have no science or healthcare education or qualification.
|
Hello! Ofcourse Healthy and balanced diet is important for life. No doubt, it is better to prevent a disease rather than consuming energy and money on cure. Here are some facts you want to know... Pomposity is citrus fruits containing abundant of vitamin C that enhances your immunity, besides that it is rich in fibers, bioflavonoids (protects from cancers) and minerals (regulate blood pressure). Cranberry juice It contains substances that may affect your health, for example antioxidants help body to prevent cancer development. It also prevents bacterial growth in urinary tract and may benefit in Otis. Beside all this excessive use may decay your teeth and oxalate in juice may lead to kidney stones. In short, proper use of healthy and balanced diet with regular exercise is the best way to a happy life. Take Care!

Hi I get white bumps on my tounge all the time that come and go. They are very itchy and I tend to end up scratching them with my teeth. Sometimes it will just be one white bump other times it will be a big patch of white bumps from the tip of my tounge all the way along the side. They are always only along the edge and never in the center. They are normally there for a week or two and then they go away for a two to three months and then come back. I have been getting them on and off like that for many years now. They are very painful and I was wondering if you have any idea what it is and what I can do about it cause I can t afford to go to a doctor. Thanks
|

I have post nasal drip and sores on the side of my tongue. I drink a lot of fluids, but I feel like I have to keep sticking my tongue out to swallow properly and I feel as though I have to swallow constantly. I have been experiencing allergies and taking Allegra and a nose spray for the past 3-4 weeks-I thought maybe they were the cause of the discomfort of having to keep my tongue out. However, since I stopped both medications, the symptoms remain.

Cellophane You for contacting Chat Doctor. As you have chronic allergy problem, so I would recommend you to try following:> Avoid dust as it plays a major role in triggering allergy.> Use levocetirizine one at night for 5 days for allergy.> Take montelukast once daily for one month. Research has shown that it reduces allergic response.> Take hot water in a cup, add 1 tablespoon salt in it. Perform gargles (mouth wash) with it three times a day for at least 3 days.> use lidocaine gel on sores in mouth. Apply gel on sores for 1-2 mins, then mouth wash with plain water(Do not swallow it)It will start resolving by itself in 2-3 days. I would also suggest you to undergo allergy testing at allergy clinic as you have chronic allergy problem. It will tell that you are allergic to what specific thing. The results will help an allergist to prescribe you immunotherapy to that specific allergen, and it will improve the problem.AVOID:> Chat Doctor. If you have additional questions or follow-up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. Wishing you good health

Hello and thanks for using this forum. After going through your query I feel that your son is suffering from a learning disorder called dysmorphia.(a difficulty with word retrieval or naming problems commonly very poor spelling, mirror writing etc.). This is a condition which can be helped more by academic intervention and therapy rather than relying only on medicines. I would request you to seek more information from support groups regarding the same to be able to understand your child better and help him in achieving his potential. Hope this helps you. Take care. Chat Doctor.

Hi doctor,I have tachycardia (resting heart rate 125 bpm) while just walking around the house and not doing much. My heart rate was about 160 bpm. I do get chest pains and tightness. I also have a 70% LAD lesion. My question is would the lesion be causing my tachycardia? Should I consult my cardiologist? I am currently on Amitriptyline. My CSK level is slightly raised and normal FBC.
|
Hi. Blockage of 70% is referred to as noncritical blockage. I suggest tablet Ecosprin 75 mg (Aspirin) every night, so that the blockage will not progress in the future. Tachycardia can be because of a large number of causes varying from anxiety, stress, anemia, decreased coronary blood supply and defective electrical currents in the heart. Tachycardia can be of two types. Sinus tachycardia and arrhythmias. In sinus tachycardia, heart rate increases, but the rhythm of the heart remains normal. This can be corrected easily with the help of beta blocker. Arrhythmias can cause disturbed rhythm of the heart and are to be taken very seriously. They can even be fatal. I would suggest you to go for an ECG, 2D echo and Holter test for getting evaluated. If you have an ECG, then attach a copy so that I can see the basic rhythms of your heart. Smoking and alcohol can also cause palpitations. But, you have not mentioned them. Take care.

Im a 40 year old male and have had bad ocd for about 20 years now. Im currently living in Pennsylvania and me and my wife recently discovered a mouse in our home. We set traps and wound up catching 5 ! 2 days after catching the last one we cleaned out the laundry room where they were hiding. I vacuumed up a lot of debris from there and under couch. We also swept it up and wiped up the areas that had droppings. I am now terrified to learn that we shouldnt have done that. I have been driving self insane with worry. Can someone tell me what percent of mice in pa carry hantavirus? Also I read that it dies pretty quick so I hope after 2 days it was safe. Im extremely nervous . Any help would be greatly appreciated !
|
Hello thanks for asking from Chat Doctor for your health related queries can understand your concern. You are 40 years old and have OCD since last 20 years. Now after catching mice and then cleaning house completely you have started having anxiety about getting Antivirus infection. First I would like to reassure you that such infections don't usually spread by just cleaning the house. Usually such infections spread more commonly in closed, damp areas like old ships, go downs etc. Not all mice are infected and prolonged contact is needed to get infection. So as per my opinion there is no need to worry. The fear of infection is probably due to severe anxiety you are having and this has got aggravated because of your history of OCD. Continue to take your OCD Chat Doctor. Two days has already passed you are safe now. Thanks, Take care

Hi, I was diagnosed with spondylothesis/spondylosis about 5 years back, mainly from playing sports. Now that I graduated from playing college softball, I am still having major back pain with a major shooting pain down my right leg. The pain is in my lower back, as well as in my side right thigh and side right area below my knee. I now stand at work most of the day. Am I feeling this pain because of my prior diagnosis or is it something different?
|
Hi, Thank you for posting your query. Your symptoms are suggestive of a pinched nerve in the lower back. This is most often caused by bulged disc in the lumbar region. The nerve travels down the thigh, leg and foot. Therefore, the symptoms include pain in the back, which radiates to thigh, leg and foot. Your current problems are related to your earlier diagnosis. For confirmation of diagnosis, you can get an MRI scan of limbo sacral spine done. Treatment consists of medications such as pregabalin and physiotherapy. Best wishes, Chat Doctor.
