i am jose paul.i am having problem with my 1.5 month old baby. she is having red scars on her face,and all over the body in some areas.when consulted with a doctor he said it is a kind of exima . she is not sleeping someties and crying as if somebody beat her so please give me some information about this exima and tell me if it can be treated
|
Hello, Please send to me a photo of your 1.5-month-old baby face in order for me to get it analyzed myself. Sometimes, some babies do develop baby eczema at the age of your baby. It is called baby eczema. Should wash the face and skin with sensitive non-soapy baby shampoo. Apply eczema cream and zinc oxide ointment locally. Normally it is clinically expressed with Chat Doctor. This explains why your baby keeps crying without knowing the reason. You should try to soften the skin by applying eczema lotion. Looking forward to getting the requested photo in. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care

i have got my gall bladder removed 2 years ago...i was always healthy doind exercises 5 days a week .recently after a trip to australia i came bak nd within 2 weeks i started a feeling of heaviness in my upper abdomen...i hav a normal bowel activity nd rest of things are normal..but this feeling nd not pain in upper abdomen puts me in a state of mental pain
|
Hi. Thanks for your query and an elucidated history. I can understand how you feel. . . Well, the gall bladder surgery 2 years ago may not have to do anything with this. You have a heaviness in upper abdomen and no other symptoms. Try Sanitizing and risperidone tablets and your problem may be solved within a few days. This may not be anything serious. Just for the sake of perfection-better to undergo upper GI endoscopy and ultrasonography, in case there is no relief with routine medicines.

Hello doc i m having pain in my penis when its erect and there is some milky precum regularly from my penis.even m not able to mastrubation.i feel like my penis muscles is gonna b.....and one of the muscel is too hard that hurts a lot when erection or bending...plz tell me what i have to do.......
|
Degree understand your concerns went through your details. I can understand. You are worrying unnecessarily. The whitish liquid comes out through your penis semen itself. That is bodies normal procedure, and you cannot control it. Body produces sperm cells whenever you are sexually excited. The produced sperm cells are stored inside your body. Because it is a waste product, body needs to throw it out. Body naturally throws out the waste product through urine or through nocturnal emission (Chat Doctor. There is nothing to worry about it. Please understand, bend penis are also normal. This is the scenario with most men. The bend is usually due to masturbation. Again there is nothing to worry. I suggest you to consult a psychologist for counseling and to provide you with essential sex related knowledge. Please do not ignore this advice. You need sexological counseling. If you require more of my help in this aspect, please use this URL. http://goo.gl/aYW2pR. Make sure that you include every minute details possible. Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications. Good luck. Take care.

Hi, my name is Gary I was diagnoses and had colon cancer stage 4 and spread to liver. I had treatment 5 weeks for radiation, and total 6 times chemo. It seem like first 3 times chemo therapy is not working so my doctor change to different chemo medicine, is seem like cancer wont spread and shrunk. by that time i met some one and he recommend me to change my diet, drink more water, no sugar, so when i went to draw blood my CEA went up from 24 to 30 and after i change my diet and last 3 chemo my CEA back down to 13 and my doctor told me i have to do one more chemo. And i decided not to do because a lot of people told me radiation and chemo kill people more than cancer kill people. So i went back to draw blood and check with my doctor my CEA go back up to 26. I would like to know am i do the right thing? just only change my diet and not listen what my doctor tell me what to do??? right now i feel just like normal person, i can go to exercise, running, walking, but i lot some weight because i eat only fish, vegetable, and fruit.would you please, answer me what am i suppose to do?? Thank you so muchGary
|
Hi, I went through your query. I am afraid changing your diet at this stage will not cure your cancer. Colon cancer mainly occurs due to a high fat diet. Dietary fiber as in fruits and vegetables has a protective role. However once you have the cancer it does not help much. It is true that chemotherapy and radiation have very serious side effects and can themselves cause cancer. But at stage 4 that is the best possible treatment available. I would advise you to continue with your treatment. But you can talk to your doctor if you do not wish it and ask him/her for some other palliative treatment. Hope this helps.

Hlw sir,I m Sajol.I want to know, how to solve hepatitis B virus / HBS(ag) positive.....My pathology report 1)B.suger-Random = 6.02 mmoll/L 2)S.Bilirubin (total) = 0.6 mg/dl 3)S.GPT (ALT) = 26.2 u/l 4)HBsAg = positive(pts. OD- 3.50) 5)HBsAg ( ict method) = Negative
|
Dear Major, you are having Bag positive test. That wants you to have got hepatitis B infection. To understand whether you have cleared this virus, or what level of your viral infection is, you need to undergo complete hepatitis B profile tests including various Hepatitis B (He, HBC) antigen and antibody testing and hepatitis B viral load. Based on all these, you would/ would not need anti-viral treatment. Regards Chat Doctor.

Hello doctor,My eye doctor told me, after doing an eye scan, that I have no pigment in my sclera. She said she could see right through my eye in the scans. I cannot find anything online regarding this. I would like to know what this condition is called so I can research as I also have glaucoma that is unresponsive to any drops and trying to find out if there may be a connection. As in a genetic link of some sort. So my question is, what is the medical term for having no pigment in the white part of the eye?
|
Hello. I think what she meant was iris, not sclera. There is brown or black pigment in our iris. Normally, some people have blue or green. But, there this a genetic condition known as albinism or pigment dispersion syn ChatDoctor. Patients with these conditions suffer from glaucoma too. To correct glaucoma these patients need a surgical intervention like laser trabeculoplasty or trabeculoplasty. Kindly share your docs case file with me so that I can guide you better.

I ve inserted my penis in the butt and I am afraid if I precum had touch the vagina my gf says it did touch but slightly and I pulled out just before I ejaculated I am about to give her norlevo emergency pill at the 71 hour how much chances are there she could get pregnant and yeah I did urinated after my last ejaculation
|
Hello dear, I understand your concern. In my opinion the chances of pregnancy are very rare in your case. Usually there is scope for pregnancy when semen is ejaculated inside or around the vagina during the fertile or unsafe period of the cycle. There is very, very rare chance of pre-cum causing pregnancy because rarely pre-cum might have sperms. This applies when penis is inserted into the vagina and the pre-cum is directly injected into the vagina. And in your case the penis was in between the butt and in that case the pre-cum coming and touching the vagina and that leading to pregnancy is rare possibility. So relax. Avoid stress. Nothing to worry. There might be no need of emergency contraception. Hope this helps. Best regards....

|
Thanks for contacting Chat Doctor with your medical questions am sorry to hear that you are having problems with sexual Chat Doctor. These symptoms do sound like low testosterone level. I would recommend that you have your doctor repeat your testosterone level as a fasting lab. The testosterone levels are highly dependent on the time of day. After waking is the time that is the best time to obtain a blood sample. If the level is still normal then I might suggest using a medication like Viagra or Levitt to help with sexual performance. If these measures are not satisfactory then I recommend you seek medical attention by a urologist or a specialist in male endocrinology. Hope I answered your question. Please feel free to contact us again for you medical concerns and questions

Hello, THX to contact us. I understand your concern. If I am your treating doctor I advise you that urine culture with colony count of less than one lac is not UTI. It won't requires a treatment.

Don't be in a hurry to conceive so down after cesarean. ...you need ample of time for your body as well as uterus to be capable to handle a new pregnancy. ....the scar of cesarean takes 1 year minimum to be able to carry a next pregnancy safely...since you had a baby with birth defects....get your tests for congenital anomalies done and start taking folic acid 5Β mg along with multivitamin to cover up for any internal deficiencies for at least 3 months

I am a 23 year old male. Lately Ive been getting really bad migraines, trouble sleeping, and dizziness. About 16 hours ago I realized I got this lump or bump on my inner upper thigh. I had an accident when I was 11 years old where I had to get surgery because a testicle popped inside me. There was a complications with the surgery I had which had an outcome of me overproducing testosterone. Since then my mother was informed that I would possibly have aggression problems, depression, and headaches. My question is, would this lump be related to my accident many years ago?
|
Hello! Thank you for the query. It is possible that this lump is related to the surgery you have had many years ago. It might be a femoral hernia. However, it should be movable and get smaller when lying down. More possible is that this is something not related to the accident. It might be some benign skin lesion like lipoma. The best way to find out what are you dealing with is to have an ultrasound of this area. Hope this will help. Regards.

My husband has a large mass in his left breast and another is forming in the right. He has had a sonogram on the breasts showing the masses. His left is worse, swollen, red and very painful. His right is just starting to feel that way. The doctor just did a biopsy of the mass. I have been trying to read about MALE Mastitis however there is no real information. How does it get treated if in fact that is what it is and not inflammation cancer. My husband is 41 and very out of shape and over weight.
|
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Most common cause for breast mass in males is breast abscess and breast cancer. Since his breast mass is painful, swollen and red, possibility of breast abscess (infection) is more. Best treatment for this is incision and Chat Doctor. If Biopsy is suggestive of cancer then he will need modified radical mastectomy (MRM). So collect Biopsy report and discuss all these with his doctor. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your husband. Thanks.

I have had mS for about three years. Been to the Dr, but because of my age, 83, they do not want to start any type of treatment. MS in left leg, lower half, right leg, Bottom 0f foot only. I manage to get around with the aid of a cane. I am very active and seldom home, MS has not affected diving My biggest problem is I cannot have a normal BM, unless I have to urinate, which opens muscles for my relief. I take laxatives which help, but tired of medicines. Any suggestions ?I also have COPD and on oxygen .. Most likely I ll will be told to just continue as usual Just to get this off my chest may be good for me Thanks

Hi, From what I understand you been suffering with symptoms of multiple sclerosis (MS) involving the lower limbs along with difficulties during bowel movement in the background of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (CODE). If my assumptions are right, I would like to know if you have been diagnosed to have multiple sclerosis. Besides this, MS symptoms are not related to the bowel disturbances you have. Irrespective of the neurological symptoms, bowel irregularities can be easily corrected with dietary changes - plenty of fluid and fiber consumption with or without stool softeners. Laxatives may be used occasionally when symptoms are severe. Hope this answers your query. Regards

|
Hello, Welcome Thanks for consulting Chat Doctor, I have gone through your query, for toothache you should consult dentist and go for IOWA x-ray this toothache can be due to Caries or due to Periodontal problem. As you are asking about antibiotic yes you can take if it 8s prescribed by your dentist. Go for proper treatment if caries then go for restoration and if periodontal problem go for Oral prophylaxis. Hope this will help you. Wishing you good health.

Hello! Welcome on Chat Doctor! I carefully read your question and would explain that her symptoms seem to be related to a lung dysfunction. Coronary artery disease can not be excluded either, considering the fact that she is a diabetic. Coming to this point, I would recommend consulting with her attending doctor for a careful physical check up and some tests: - a resting ECG- a chest X-ray study and respiratory function tests- a cardiac stress tests should discuss with her doctor on the above issues.

Helo Dr. My 10 month baby suffring from cold with runny nose from last 7 days. Doctor prrescribed me sumocold syrup initially with antibiotic and later changed it to histakind syrup ..m giving him histakind syrup(2ML) twice a day with antibiotics for 4 days ..but still he is having cold.plz tell me the best cold syrup for him. Is it seasonal change or some other reason? Can i give him saline nasal spray but there is no chest congeation.. tell me the correct the correct tratment for running nose. Thanks.
|
Hi welcome to Chat Doctor, Common cold, running nose is self limiting illness, it usually resolves in 7-10 days. One can give antihistamines, paracetamol, and if there is nasal block, you can use saline nasal spray (it can be used as and when required, saline nasal spray is safe to use for prolonged time and as many times as required.). If baby is well, not febrile, accepting feed well, no rapid breathing, no resp distress, you need not worry, it will resolve. But if it persists than allergic rhinitis and secondary bacterial infection needs to be ruled out. Hope I answered your query thanks

i HAVE A RASH ON MY BACK THAT STARTED ON BACK OF MY NECK AND HAS MOVED DOWN MY BACK. VERY ITCHY BUT DOES NOT HURT AT ALL - JUST ITCHES. I HAVE HAD IT FOR ALMOST 2 WEEKS NOW AND MY NECK AND UPPER BACK DONT ITCH ANYMORE - BUT WHERE IT HAS TRAVELED DOWN MY BACK ITCHES. IT COVERS MY LOWER BACK STOPPING AT MY WAIST. COULD I HAVE DEVELOPED AN ALLERGY TO FOOD LIKE PEANUT BUTTER OR ALCOLHO?
|
Hi and thanks for the query, Its important that this rash be distinguished from either being of infectious origin or allergic origin. Are others around presenting with same symptoms? Is it the first time you are experiencing this? Any fever or lymph node enlargement? A careful evaluation could really be needed. A food allergy is a possibility, but the spread is really unusual. It should be interesting to know the duration of time between consuming alcohol or pee nuts and developing the rash. If it occurred immediately after, it could be incriminated. But if not, other sources should be searched for. Characteristic lesion should easily guide the clinician, depending on whether the rashes are vesicles, pustules, males or pa pules and other clinical parameters, an appropriate diagnosis could easily be made. Booking an appointment with your family physician or dermatologist could be of interest. Thanks and best regards, Luchuo, MD.

my granddaughter has very low blood sugar and a high red blood cell count. The doctors advised her mother that she has an autoimmune disease but not sure of which one. He advised my daughter to keep my granddaughter away from anyone that is sick. They have scheduled her for a "conversation this Friday. Could this be Sickle Cell Disease, Leukemia, or Lupus. Also she has been having trouble with bowel movements and constipation. She is 6 years old.
|
Hi ! Thank you for your query. Dear madam, Whatever information you have provided is insufficient to guide you. Low blood sugar is not related to autoimmune disease. Generally in autoimmune disorders the is hemolysis leading to anemia but that's not universal. High RBC count can be physiological or pathological like in polycythemia. I advise you to see you doctor and get her thoroughly investigated only then we can reach on to some conclusion. If you have any further queries feel free to ask. Wish you good health. Take care.

I have slightly raised white patches on my hard palate, which appear to end just before the soft palate. I just noticed it this evening. I have also been very fatigued for several weeks, and have had a yellow vaginal discharge for about the same amount of time. It has been slightly over a year since I had my last chemotherapy treatment for breast cancer.
|
Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor, A white patch anywhere in the oral mucosa can occur due to a number of causes. For all practical purposes a white patch in oral mucosa is called leukoplakia. The cause for such a patch needs to be found out. Fungal infection, lichen plans, even a hyperplasia, sub mucosal hyperplasia, cancer can lead to white patch in the oral mucosa. A clinical examination and biopsy of the affected region is required to make a correct diagnosis. There is a possibility of fungal infection as chemotherapy suppresses the immunity of the person to an extent. However, exact diagnosis can be made only after relevant investigations. Management depends on the underlying cause of the lesion. Yellow colored vaginal discharge suggests an infection of the genital tract. Various microorganisms can cause yellow colored discharge e.g. bacterial vaginosis, trachomas infection, fungal infection, etc. An examination of the vaginal discharge needs to be done. Consult your gynecologist for clinical examination and investigations. None of these symptoms suggest a recurrence of breast carcinoma. Thanks and take care Chat Doctor.

odd skin condition I have recently discovered a series of perfectly circled patches of dry skin. It started as a few small spots under my right breast and soon spread up into my cleavage. And now there are 6 visible spots. They are tiny, maybe a quarter inch at best. There are very very slightly raised, no itch, no burn...they dont bother me at except for the fact that they are there. Light in color almost not visible maybe 1 pigment darker than my usual caucasian flesh color. However when I shower they tend to darken momentarily.

Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor I would keep a possibility of Erythema. Erythema is a chronic superficial infection of the intertriginous areas of the skin. The incriminated organism is Corynebacterium minutissimum. Dark discoloration associated with erythema is usually limited to body folds that are naturally moist and occluded. Infection commonly is asymptomatic, but it can be pruritic. The typical appearance of erythema is well-demarcated, brown-red macular patches. The skin has a wrinkled appearance with fine scalesTreatment is with oral erythromycin Or topical erythromycin Or with topical clindamycin for 2 weeks regards

I am in the middle of this and undergoing huge amount of tension and sometimes thinking of attempting suicide as am unable to take my devision. I dont know what to do as both are equally important people in my life. I am stuck. Please help me out

Hello are a 28 years old married female and are in dilemma for care of your mother and about your husbands' carrier. You are in chronic stress and this is causing depressive features in you. The depressive features are the reason behind huge tension and suicidal thoughts. If you are not able to find any solution to these problems then I would advise you to please consult a marriage counselor.

Hi Dr Grief: I am taking care of an 82 yr old parkinson s lady who is in her 9th year of living with PD. Recently she lost her husband of 62 yrs and has started dry heaves-she turns white in face and cannot vomit-yet she goes through the symptoms and stages of vomiting-should I feed her when she is sick with this feeling of needing to vomit. Or is there some kind of calming liquid I should give her???
|
Hi, Thank you for posting your query. I have noted the symptoms, which could be related to the medications she is on, for Parkinson's disease (PD). Both levodopa and pramipexole/ropinirole have an adverse effect of causing nausea or vomiting. To reduce the sensation of nausea or vomiting, you can give her ondansetron liquid just before her feeds, and then she can be fed within half an hour of that. I hope my answer helps. Please get back if you have any follow-up queries or if you require any additional information. Wishing you good health, Chat Doctor. Ly/

His read your query and understand your concerns am sorry for the symptoms you are suffering It seems you are suffering from lumbar discography, it is bothering and provoke pain but at least isn't dangerous so you don't have to worry too much In my opinion you should schedule a lumbar CT scan or even better a lumbar MR which will confirm my doubt and show the gravity of herniation Meantime you should wear a lumbar fortress and continue pain killers Hope I have been of help Best regards

It may be due to cardiac condition or anxiety disorder or thyroid problems or hypertension. I advise you to consult a cardiologist and undergo a few tests like an ECG, 2D echo and others to get to a diagnosis. In the meantime avoid over exercising yourself and do not take any stress.

Hello doctor,I had my second anomaly scan at 18 weeks and the reports showed the impression that the placenta is at posterior wall mid and lower part grade I. The lower margin of the placenta is 3 cm away from internal os. Also, there is a breech presentation. What does it mean? The doctor told me to take bed rest and to avoid heavy work and sexual intercourse and keep an eye on any kind of vaginal bleeding. I am really tensed about the condition. Is it life threatening for my baby and me? What other precautions do I need to take? Should I go for another ultrasound after one month to check whether the placental position has improved or not? Also, I am a working woman and need to travel approx 40 km daily. What should I do? Also, I wanted to ask if I can fly at around 23 weeks.
|
Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor forum. Breech presentation at this gestational age has no significance. The placenta is 3 cm from os means that it is slightly in the lower segment. No need to take bed rest. Just avoid jerky traveling. It is not life-threatening. There is a slightly increased risk of bleeding. It will ascend in future. Get a repeat ultrasound few days prior to traveling. If everything is fine, then you can travel. A flight journey is safe in the second trimester. For more information consult an obstetrician and gynaecologist online

I fell in my basketball game earlier, and I hurt my arm, it s not bruised I don t think, and it s not broken. Although it hurts when I touch it, and slightly move it in certain directions, to top it off it keeps twitching, what could this be? Should I be worried ?
|
Dear patient You have got blunt trauma to your arm with contusion. I would advise X-ray of involved arm anteroposterior and lateral views to rule out bony abnormalities. If its normal fracture is ruled out. Apply ice packs on swelling frequently. Start tab diclofenac plus serratiopeptodase combination twice a day for 7 days. Keep limb elevated. This will relieve you of pain and swelling. All the best.

i have been on oxycotine30 mgs and hydrocodone 10/325 for about 6 yrs due to a forklift ran over me and the damage it did was the L4 L5 S1 & disk bulge. Had surgery in 2007. the meds do not very well anymore. Is there another combination that i could ask the doctor for. I went back to work in 2010 and slipped on a hanger thrown on floor and injured L2 L3 disk bulge with pinched nerve on L3. The combination i have now is not really helping.
|
Hi therefore user If I was your doctor I would recommend a fresh MRI lumbosacral spine. Most of the time the answer to such long-standing problem is a decompression laminectomy. It has outstanding results and a permanent solution to your problem. Medicines, esp painkillers are good for short term pain but not very helpful in long term or chronic pain. If you still want to go for medicine then I think the best combination for you would be an NSAID and a Muscle relaxant. Many a time the back pain is due to hyper flexion of the vertebral column. In such a case this combination is very successful.

Dr. My daughter is 2 year n 2 months old, she very underweight with 6.2 kg. She was born normal. In age of 6 months she fell sick n later diagnosed with mitocondrial complex 1 def. She has milestone delay. Doctors say that underweight is not related. She does not drink milk with bottle or with spoon n does not eat. Anything fed she vomits in jelly form.. Gave her medication also but nothing is helping Plzz suggest I m really worried.
|
Hi, thank you for choosing Chat Doctor. Sorry to hear about your daughters' diagnosis. The not gaining weight may not be related to her disease, but both are interrelated and as she has developmental delay she won't be able to feed on her own and will have frequent regurgitation of feeds which intern lead to frequent pneumonia and weight loss. Kindly consult a developmental pediatrician as they can assess the degree of inability to take feeds and advise regarding a proper method like feeding tube or gastronomy tube etc. Hope this has been helpful to you, kindly feel free to contact again for any queries. Kindly rate the answer if so. Take care. Chat Doctor.

My daughter is 2 months old and since she was born she has sounded so nasaly. She also has vomited several times and its been so mucousy that she has stopped breathing for a couple seconds. Now she has been gasping for breath when she cries or gets excited. The best way to describe it is someone has scared her. Her chest is not congested at all and my pediatrician just blows me off but is this normal?
|
Hi... Thank you for consulting in Chat Doctor. By what you quote I put forth these possibilities -1. Congenital airway anomaly - this causes noisy breathing (both inspiratory and expiratory noise, actually inspiratory will be more than expiratory noise). But the child will not struggle to breath and there will not be fast breathing and in- Chat Doctor. The sound will be more heard during sleeping and feeding.2. Wheezing - Here the sound will be predominantly expiratory; the kid will be struggling to breathe, might turn blue and require oxygen and may have chest wall in-

yes i fell 7 days ago and landed on both knees really hard i weigh 240 lbs they were sore for a few days and turned black and purple last night my ankles started sewlling i elevated them and the swelling whent down some but not all the way had to work and the swelling started again i dont have insurance to go to a doctor is there anything i can do at home to get rid of this
|
Hello, Thanks for posting your query. Rest and protect an injured or sore area. When resting, place a small pillow under your knee. Ice will reduce pain and swelling. Apply ice or cold pack for 10 to 20 minutes,3 or more times a day. Compression, or wrapping the injured or sore area with an elastic bandage will help decrease swelling. Elevate the injured or sore area on pillows while applying ice and anytime you are sitting or lying down. There are many vitamins and natural supplements you can take to help rebuild cartilage and increase blood flow. Wishing you good health. Regards.

Not sure if I should go to the Doctor, what do you think?

For 2 days now I ve been having very bad pain in my lower left side of my abdomen. The pain is mainly on the side/front part of my abdomen but also goes to my lower back left side only. This is the second time in 2 months it s happened. The pain sometimes goes to my leg, or if I bend my leg up it causes more pain in my abdomen. Yesterday it went away on its own, but today it started again and the pain has intensified, what could it be? I eat relatively healthy and exercise 4-5 times a week. I m 28 years old, Hispanic 5 2 113 lbs.

Hi! Good evening. I am Chat Doctor answering your query. If I were your doctor, I would advise you not to have food from outside to prevent any kind of intestinal infections like meiosis which might cause colitis resulting in such pain. Also, I would advise you for an ultrasound of whole abdomen which would either confirm or rule out a left sided ureteric colic with radiation of pain to back and to left leg. Further management would depend on the reports of investigations. Till then, you could go for an antispasmodic and a proton pump inhibitor Chat Doctor. 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. I wish you an early recovery. Chat Doctor.

I had protected sex 3 weeks ago... and don t really have symptoms...but I have been pooping a lot, really gassy, and have had some breast tenderness. I take my pill every day at the same time, and waited the 7 days before having sex (with a condom). Is there still a chance I could be pregnant?
|
Hello dear. Understand your concern. Birth control pills failure rate is 1-2 %, means 100 women's used it then 1-2 women he chance to be pregnant. If you take regularly pills then lesser than less chance to be pregnant, & you said that you are doing protected sex, so you doubly protected, so,according to me 99.99% you he no chance to be pregnant. Your symptoms are may be due to indigestion & Brest tenderness is due to side effects of contraceptive pills. So be calm, not worrying or being an anxious. Hope this will help you. Best regards.

Hi, I have a pain under the lower part of my left ribs, it started yesterday and felt like a knot at first and now it is just a pain not severe but constant. I am a female in good health 65 years old. I take Crestor each day an asterix each day plus a premerin every second day.
|
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. In my opinion we need to rule out cardiac cause first for your left sided chest pain, as you are old age plus taking antihypertensive Chat Doctor. So better to rule cardiac cause. Get done ECG. If this is normal than no need to worry much for cardiac cause. I think you are having musculoskeletal cause for your chest pain. So try to follow these steps for better symptomatic relief. 1. Avoid heavy weight lifting and strenuous exercise. 2. Avoid bad postures in sleep. 3. Avoid movement s causing pain. 4. Start good painkiller and muscle relaxant. 5. Apply warm water pad on affected site.

Dont laugh. Just had my 58th bday. Had an intense bout of vertigo a few months ago. Symptoms resolved ( mild ringing in ears continues, very background, not problematic) but I have been off my game ever since. Lost quite a bit of momentum and had been doing yoga, biking prior. Tired, general all over body fatigue in way Ive never experienced before and have been athletic and fairly hyperactive my whole life. Normal weight (5 ft 8. 145 normally. 160 now) Not really pain, just physical worn outness that makes me want to sit or lie down. Something that up until now I didnt do much of. Ive always been the energizer bunny, kept late hours. Dont take any meds sedatives etc. Rarely drink even moderate alcohol. Less than 1 glass a mth. Do drink typically 2 cups, now up to 4 cups of espresso in a day ( made at home) Maybe ibuprofen 2x a mth. More lately!Have become more sedentary and gained more than 10 lbs as a result. Fatigue tends to hit early evening (7 or 8) and everything from feet to hands feel heavy. My 80+ yr old mother was recently diagnosed with Fibromyalgia. Might it be? Is this what old is? Also do feel like I am forgetting things more. I have had adhd my whole life, btw. Any advice appreciated. Thank you.
|
Hello! Welcome and thank you for asking on Chat Doctor! I carefully passed through your medical history and would explain that your symptoms do not seem to be related to fibromyalgia. Vertigo in your situation can be related an inner ear disorder, or a low blood flow to the brain (possibly caused by narrowing of the posterior circulation or vertebral arteries). Your actual symptoms do not seem to be related to the past episode of vertigo. A metabolic disorder or depression could be related to your actual symptomatology. I would recommend consulting with your attending physician for a careful physical exam and some tests: - a resting ECG-Doppler ultrasound of the cervical arteries-some blood lab tests (complete blood count for anemia, thyroid hormone levels for possible thyroid dysfunction, cortisol plasma levels, fasting glucose, blood electrolytes, blood lipid profile). An electromyography would help exclude possible myasthenia syn Chat Doctor. You should discuss with your doctor on the above issues. Meanwhile, I would recommend performing a lot of physical activity (walking, yoga, swimming), which can be helpful in case of depression. Hope to have been helpful! Best wishes,

Hello I m a 81 year old uncircumcised male. Hospitalized recently with severe kidney infection and place on a levaquin drip for 4 days. Released and sent home taking oral levofloxacin and have noticed a severe swelling of my penis. I m unable to get out of bed to toilet but have a supra pubic catheter so urine is no problem but feces has been an issue. Wondering if swelling issues from oral levofloxacin or maybe balanitis from the hygiene issue from feces? Thanks
|
Thanks for asking in Chat Doctor forum In short: Renal infection can cause scrotal and sometimes penile edema. Explanation: As you were hospitalized for renal infection and were on treatment for that, your renal infection could have caused scrotal edema or penile edema. It is unlikely that antibiotic causing edema at this juncture. Even balanoposthitis is a probability if it is only foreskin swelling.

I m 56 year old not overweight woman who just had a session with pain in the middle of my chest and it caused profuse sweating and dizziness. I almost passed out from it. It lasted maybe 5 - 10 minutes. I was sitting at my desk so no exertion involved. What could it be?
|
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. The way you describe your symptoms like chest pain, sweating, dizziness, feeling of passing away, point towards cardiac cause more. And risk factors for cardiac cause in your case are1. Age more than 552. Post menopausal status. (CardioProtective effect of estrogen is gone in this age). So better to rule out cardiac cause first. Get done1. ECG2. 2D Echo. Possibility of heart attack is more with such symptoms. So consult cardiologist and discuss all these.

She has been taking these religeously and still doesnt feel better she acts like shes stoned and cannot stand at all. I dont know what to do

Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Brown phlegm with chest pain is more suggestive of lung infection. So better to consult pulmonologist and get done chest x-ray. If chest x-ray is showing lung infection (pneumonia) then she should be admitted and start Intravenous fluid and antibiotics. So don't wait at home. Consult pulmonologist and discuss all these. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your wife. Thanks.

Hi I am a 39 yr old female. Only problems I have had recently was gallbladder removed. About 2 months ago. An now for the last month I m having bad swelling in hands an feet . Worse on right side an worse when I lay down. Mornings are horrible been the doc he looks at them an an rights me a script called Melodican. Been takin them for 3 weeks. Pls help me. It hurts so bad.. Thank u
|
I think you might mean that your doctor is giving you Meloxicam, an anti-inflammation medicine that treats pain as well as other signs of inflammation like swelling and redness. In any case, swelling in the hands and feet joints that is worse in the morning in a woman of your age is likely to be an inflammatory arthritis like Rheumatoid arthritis or lupus but could also be any number of other diseases - the list is quite long, and it can take some skill to sort this out. If the symptoms are no better after three weeks you definitely need to see a doctor. They will ask about additional complaints - heart lungs, abdomen, lymph nodes, rashes, eye problems, etc... and will probably order blood and urine tests. The doctor may also order x-rays of the inflamed joints. This could be a serious illness and this warrants immediate attention by the family doctor or by a specialist rheumatologist.

I have a question about a young man who is dxed with malaria and typhoid but he is already in the hospital. NO doctors there due to its being midnight. He is complaining about chest pain, short of breath, left arm and left leg hurting. Any ideas? Thanks.
|
Hi. In my opinion he should inform the duty staff, they will evaluate the symptoms and will call the doctor if required. These symptoms might be benign and part of his illness. But chest pain and shortness of breath can be due to pulmonary embolism. Pulmonary embolism means blockage of blood vessels of lungs due to clots. It causes chest pain and shortness of breath along with other symptoms. Patients who are ill, and bed bound are at increased risk of it. It is a life-threatening disease, so it should be ruled out. Hope, my answer was helpful. Regards.

yes what are symtoms of a problem with a ivc my husband had one placed in lower belly area on 19th of dec. to help with blood clots in both legs that formed while in hospital from brain injury , he has been home 1 week and started to complain of a funny pain in lower belly , they did not tell me what signs to look for if something happened to the ivc he seems to have a small area in his lower belly that feels like a small round ball . im not sure if i should take to er or just watch to see ?

Hi welcome to Chat Doctor forum. Thanks for choosing Chat Doctor. Forum. Your husband got an I.V.C filter fitted in inferior venacava to prevent thrombus from his legs to enter into the heart, to prevent any thrombi embolism. Now he is having funny pain lower belly. That feels like a small round ball. There are so many side effects some common are 1. Fracture of IOC, or perforation into duodenum. Now it appears that none of these is the case. It may be the thrombus lodged in the IOC and causing obstruction to the flow of blood.Don't worry it could be a psychological feeling also. What ever may be the cause any abnormal feeling should be reported to the concerned doctor. So immediately report to your doctor about this. Wishing for a quick and complete remission from the complaint. Best regards.

HiT hank you for asking ChatDoctorBefore treating your condition first have to identify what problem you have. You have to rule out a Polycystic ovary by ultrasound examination and have to find out whether you are ovulating or not. For that an ultrasound examination and hormone analysis may be necessary. You husband semen analysis also should be carried out. Then your treatment will be easy. You can consult a gynecologist and have a work out of all these at least first. That won't be that expensive. Hope this may help you. Let me know if you have any further query.

HI, thanks for using Chat Doctor Increased heart rate can occur commonly as a result of illness. It occurs due to fever, altered metabolism that can occur in illness, any electrolyte abnormalities due to altered appetite or fluid loss. If it is entirely due to her acute condition then it would resolve as the infection improves. If the palpitations are significant or associated with any other symptoms such as chest pain and shortness of breath, she may want to consider visiting her doctor for an assessment. I hope this helps

Hi, when Im in bed I feel my legs like heavy, and in the past weeks I been feeling also like my face heavy and pain in my chest(I used to have panic attacks)Im 37 years old, My Father passed away when He was 45 from a heart attack, and Im not obesse, My height is 56 and my weight 88 kilos(184 lbs) bt my constitution is musculed because I work out a lot. So Im in danger of a stroke? THANK YOU
|
Hi, The history of heart attack to your father at 45 years makes you a high risk for heart attack. Definitely you require a heart checkup. The heaviness in your legs face may not be because of heart disease. But sometimes thyroid hormone abnormalities may cause these problems. So to evaluate for heart disease get your routine ECG Treadmill stress test and Echo done along with blood test for lipid, thyroid test, kidney function test and blood sugar. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Shortness of breath is my main concern. I have started a low key diet last week. Can you sugggest anything? John

Hi Mr John, thanks for the query to Chat Doctor. Shortness of breath in above-mentioned condition may be due to these possibilities, these include:1 Over weight 2 Coronary artery disease, diagnosis can be confirmed by ECHO of heart .3 Exertional breathlessness, due to pain in the legs when you walk there develop exertion and this causes breathlessness. 4 Asthma diagnosis can be confirmed by pulmonary function test. The foremost thing is to decrease your weight and deal as mentioned above. Hope this will help you. Good luck.

Hello appreciate your concern for your husband Looking at your description it seems to be upper respiratory tract infection or chronic allergy. If I were his treating doctor I would have advised him for a battery of tests like blood for CBC, Hemoglobin, liver function test or an X-ray chest. He may require a course of antibiotics preferably penicillin or azithromycin group of Chat Doctor.

Hope things are well with you. My Mom was diagnosed with Endometrium Papillary Serous Stage IIIC carcinoma. (This was after she had a total abdominal hysterectomy done a couple days ago)The pathology report points to TNM stage which says T4b, No, M1.They advice Chemo as an option starting within 2 weeks (6 rounds lasting 6 months) followed by PET scan to see where things are at. 1. We need another opinion as to the diagnosis.2. What are the treatment options available at this stage in the progression?3. What is a realistic prognosis
|
Good morning. Your mom is suffering from carcinoma of endometrium(uterus) which is now metastatic as revealed by your TNM report. She has also completed 6 rounds of chemotherapy so its time now to undergo imaging test like PET scan to look for the response of chemotherapy. Since she has an advanced disease (metastatic) she will require some form of treatment for rest of her life. Treatment will be decided after seeing the response on PET scan. Usually 2nd and 3rd line chemotherapy with some other Chat Doctor. Average survival in a case of metastatic ca endometrium is around 2 years. For another opinion on diagnosis you need to verify her tissue biopsy from any other pathology lab. Regards

I think I have injured my wrist. I need to know what I can do currently for it and if you know what I may have done to it. Ok so at the beginning of december of 2011 I was ice skating on a school field trip. I fell 3 times and the third and last time I fell it hurt the most. I landed on my wrist and it hurt ALOT. Anyway I hurt it at the base of my hand and the beginning of my wrist. It s close to the end of Jan. now it still hurts as bad as it did when I fell on it. The funny thing is, is that it s not swollen at all or maybe a little bit. (I don t know how to tell if it s swollen or not) It only hurts when I put a little bit of pressure on it. For example my schoolbag is a messenger bag and it gets very very heavy at times and just a little bit of heavy at other times. Anyway I can pick it up a little bit when it s over my shoulder, but I can t carry it, no matter how heavy it is, at all. I tried using ice to see if it would help and it didn t help really. I decided to try the rice treatment and the only thing that helped was the ace bandage. My friends say it might be fractured but if it was it would be swollen and I wouldn t be able to use it right? My 2nd cousin says it might be mildly sprained. I can t go to the doctors for x-rays because my parents are teachers and they are paying for my sisters college right now so they don t really have the money to pay for x-rays, and besides it s been over a month since I fell on my wrist so it s a little late for x-rays right? So anyway what do yall think it is? Thanks

Hello, The symptoms seem to be related to a sprained wrist. I suggest doing an X-ray to exclude the possibility of a fracture. Meanwhile, I suggest using anti-inflammatory medications such as Ibuprofen to relieve the pain. I also suggest using a brace to prevent further damage to the wrist. Ice compresses can help to relieve the pain. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Chat Doctor.

I have quite severe reaction to mosquito bites. They itch initially then turn into two inch diameter hard swollen circles getting progressively itchy. They then get a head which looks like a chicken pox pustule. I have tried most mosquito sting relief creams lotions but do not get a lot of relief. They eventually go down after 4/5 days. Can you suggest a cream / lotion with a more instant relief. Thank you
|
HI, thanks for using Chat Doctor The response to insect stings can vary from one person to the next. You should try to reduce the bites. This would mean checking your environment for any containers that may be collecting water. Even small still water collections can act as breeding ground for mosquitoes. You should also apply a mosquito repellent and consider screens on the windows of your home. An oral anti histamine may work in addition to your topical creams to help reduce your response. Most of the topical agents are similar. I hope this helps

I am a 55 year old female, had auto accident 12 years ago. 5 and 6 disk were ruptured and surgery was performed on them. Now mri shows 3&4 bulging and 7&8 protruding into the sac. EEg shows I am having seizers and mri of head shows Mild nonspecific chronic white matter hyperintensities and narrow blood vessel. For the last 6mo every time I lay down my body jerks until I am worn out and I get very little sleep, also when I am really tired sitting up it also jerks and I am not talking about small jerks, it jerks so much at night my chest starts to hurt from it. After having my mri on my neck I was sent for physical therapy, was told by therapist that therapy would help my neck but I needed to find out what was causing the jerking, also said that my left are reflexes are hyperactive and my right arm has no reflex. My right foot also feels like electricity is flowing in it, but not my leg. I have been to a neurologist and was told the unspecified white matter is from migraines and my jerking is from anxiety and referred me to a Shrink. I don t understand why if it s anxiety it happens every time I lay down, day or night or when I am sleepy sitting up, I feel like they are missing something and this can t be anxiety. I was also told 2 1/2 years ago that I had a cyst in the gland that is in the center of your brain and there was room for it there, but was not mentioned on this MRI. Seeking answers!!! I also had a heart ablation done about a year ago because of frequent rapid heart beats.
|
Hello, The bulging discs may cause pressure on your spinal cord in selective posture stimulating it leading to jerky movements in your body. Also depressed reflexes and electricity like feeling in your body parts suggest that the disc is impinging on your spinal cord. I will suggest you to meet or get an appointment to a neurosurgeon and take along your latest MRI of Brain and neck. The best test to differentiate it from a cardiac event is by doing a Holder study for 24 hours. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

I have tingling in the back of my head. Tingling feels more like a mild electrical shock that comes in pulses. It started directly behind my left ear and has travelled to back, Ctr of head. When pain comes it enough to make me whine and grab my attention. Earlier this week I also had a dumbness in my left arm, milder shocking feelings. Elbow feels like arthritis pain, have been using OCmed, i.e. Icy Hot, topical. Any ideas on remedy for head spasms /
|
Hello! Welcome on Chat Doctor ! Your symptoms (tingling in the back of the head and headaches) could be related to occipital neuralgia. While the tingling and numbness in your arm, could be related to a pinched nerve or articular nerve pain related to a bulging cervical disc. You should know that even the occipital neuralgia can be triggered by chronic degeneration of the cervical spine. Coming to this point, I would recommend consulting with a neurologist for a careful physical check up and performing a cervical spine X-ray study. A cervical spine CT scan or MRI may be needed. Hope you will find this answer helpful! Best wishes,

Hello, My husband was just seen a week ago for a sinus infection and was given antibiotics. It is a week later and he has developed a small, hard,painful to the touch lump on the base of his head in the back on the right side. When he first noticed this he also had a bad headache with but took some aspirin and now does nit have the headache but still has the soreness. What could it be?
|
Welcome to Chat Doctor .1. You already had a course of antibiotics, it seems for me its healing stage, and you need to wait for day 4-5, if not then need to examine. 2. Generally carbuncle/fur uncle are seen with pus discharge.3. As a precaution you need to maintain personnel hygiene and cleaning the area with the antiseptic liquids twice a day, and do not scratch the area as it delays the healing process. 4. I would recommend waiting and see - it should heel. Anything to ask ? Do not hesitate. Thank you.

Numbness is generally due to involvement of nerves, has varied causes like 1. Compression of nerve directly 2. Diabetes 3. Thyroid disorders commonly.*In this age group of 45 yrs female, it may be Carpel tunnel syn Chat Doctor. ....in later stages the muscles of palms and fingers become so weak that it can't be undone.*So better go for confirmatory tests of nerve involvement and ... The treatment involves Wrist splint and simple exercises and NSAIDs and treatment of underlying cause. Only under supervision of a doctor.

My husband has what we thought was a bug bite on his head. We put some drawing ointment on it on friday and attempted to lance it the fallowing night. Very little pus came out. Its been 3 days now and it still hasnt gotten any smaller, and it has not come to any kind of a head. should we be concerned and go to the hospital or should we wait a few more days and see what happens. We have no insurance so we are trying to avoid the hospital untill we absolutly have to.

Hi, Thanks for your query Looks like your husband has developed folliculitis (pyoderma)over you scalp. Folliculitis is the inflammation of one or more hair follicles. The condition may occur anywhere on the skin except the palms of the hands and soles of the feet. They may appear as red dots firstly and then increase in size to become red, hot, tender pus filled lesions... Avoid touching it too much. Avoid using any kind of cold Chat Doctor. .as it might increase the lesion. You can start using any topical antibiotic/antiseptic cream(like mupirocin cream) over the lesion and see if it persists even after using the cream for 2-3 days, then you need to consult a skin specialist as lesions on the scalp are very painful, and also they tend to increase in size very quickly... Take some painkillers along for relieving the associated pain and discomfort Hope it helps

HI, Thanks for the query. Pregnancy in 7th month, having high blood pressure & travel by bus (with possibility of jerks due to bad roads & exertion of constant sitting for 7 hours are the difficulties in Bus travel you are going to face. Though the decision has to be your treating doctors. (as she would be best judge of your health) if you ask me I would say NO to bus journey. You can travel by train/ plane with proper reservation & your treating doctors advise.& advise of few preventive medicines on the way. In case rail or Air ways are not available. You should travel by private Taxi.(with a break journey in between) with back seat reserved for you as a sleeping arrangement along with doctors advise as suggested earlier. - In case nothing suggested is possible It's safe to stay where you are with proper care of your doctor... your in laws can travel & stay with you. Thanks.

Hi, I have had a problem with discoloration and bleeding on my forearms for approximately four years. First noticed when my sholder bag (heavy) slipped off of my sholder and hit my forearm. Next up was bleeding without knowing I was doing so. I couldn t bump into anything without causing myself to bleed. I am not a vain person but I DO have Diabetes, Fibtroymyalgia, hypothytoidism, and arthritis. and when my largest organ starts making holes for germs to enter it makes me very nervous. Thanks, JR PR I stopped taking Cymbalta after my doctors and I went over the pain relief cmpared to it s bleed factor.
|
Hi, thank you for providing the brief history of you A thorough musculoskeletal assessment is advised. As you are diabetic there is always a possibility of the bleeding to not stop. Tying the compression bandage to stop bleeding and stopping blood thinner for hypertension should work. Also, you need to be careful with the wound healing, as wound healing will be delayed in diabetic. Also, for your arthritic and fibromyalgia pain undergoing physical therapy should work well. You should be always conscious with your blood glucose levels as it should be always into control. As due to non-controlling of the blood glucose levels any smallest injury will lead to major symptoms. For skin discoloration you need to wait as it will go slowly. Due to high blood glucose levels the healing is slightly delayed. With proper care the recovery is expected Chat Doctor.

Hi there, I have understood your concern. I will suggest you the best possible treatment options. First do not panic. As you have mentioned that you have taken injectable contraceptive almost a week back, you need not worry about getting pregnant.

My 34 year old son has pain in the upper part of his abdomen. He has suffered from it for a couple of years. His stomach swells up and he says it feels like it is putting pressure on his spine and his heart. Things like ZANTAC or mylanta help somewhat. No one seems to know what the problem is.
|
Hi. Thanks for your query. This is very classical history. The swelling in upper abdomen with pain. The simple tests are :::X-ray of the abdomen in a Standing position when the stomach has swollen-up. If necessary-Barium studies of the stomach in head-low position and upper GI Endoscopy examination. IF this is a volumes of the stomach-the treatment is simply putting a few stitches into stomach and fixing it to the abdominal wall. If the problem is due to obstruction at the duodenum, needs a major surgery to bypass this.

Hi doctor i m 23 years old unmarried girl i have a little lump in my armpit and also very tender and paonful breast but it is days of my period before it i have only tender and painful breast not a lump in armpit is it worried is it breast cancer plz help me there is no change in size and shape of both of my breast.

Hi, Dear,Thanks for the query to Chat Doctor. I studied your problem in depth and I understood your concerns. Cause for lump in armpit with tender breasts-In my opinion you seem to have Menstrual Enlargement of the Breast in Axillary Tail, which are with Stenosis of the Breast. This is non-malignant condition but needs observation by self breast examination.Hence, stop worrying about it, as it is not a CANCER as you fear and think, but do check it up from ER Gynec-Surgeon. For Final Diagnosis and treatment needs clinical data from a Doctor. And Hence for further treatment I would advise you to Consult ER Gynec-Surgeon, who would treat it accordingly. This advice is based on the facts from the history you give and needs further clinical check.Hence, I would advise you to check with ER Gynec-Surgeon. So don't build up wrong concepts and create more psychic complications in you which would increase risks and costs to you. Hope this would relieve your problem. Welcome for any more query in this regard to Chat Doctor. Write good resume and Click thanks if you feel satisfied with my advice. Have a Good Day. Chat Doctor. N.

My boyfriend started having trouble with kidney stones 6 months ago (had 7 stones confirmed by ct scan in July). 1 large 7mm one was extremely painful, leaving soreness in his kidneys. 1 month ago he started having issues with gastritis, gas, bloating, loss of appetite and thirst. A gastroenterologist determined it was proteus and gave him 3 IV treatments of metronidazole (last IV was 2 days ago). He felt better all week until today- same symptoms returned. Before he sees another doctor, what should we expect? It sounds like proteus could be creating his stones and living in them (according to the internet). Will he be fighting proteus and stones for life? What are some treatment options?
|
Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor forum. The kidney stones are of calcium, and oxalate type of stones. When only one stone is present it can be crushed, and the powder of the stone will come out through the urine. If the stone is very big, the doctors prefer to remove it by surgery. When the stones are plenty and present in the kidney, they are not suitable for above procedures, they have to be treated with medicines for resolving. I advise you to consult a urologist for diagnosis and treatment. I usually prescribe to my patient with such symptoms lifetime, dicyclomine , and Ayurveda preparations like near to dissolve the stones slowly. Wishing for a quick and complete recovery. Thank you.

Hi doctor,Recently, I had undergone chest X-ray, ECG, creatinine, fasting glucose, postprandial blood sugar, urea, uric acid, lipid profile, liver function test, thyroid stimulating hormone, TSH, urine complete analysis, complete blood count with ESR and ultrasound of abdomen and pelvis. All the reports came back normal except my urine report. My chemical examination of urine says there is blood in the urine and the microscopic examination says pus cells and RBCs are present. I contacted my doctor immediately and he suggested to go for urine culture and sensitivity. The report came after three days and it looks normal as well. It says, no growth noticed at the end of 48 hours of incubation and microscopic examination says occasional pus cells and no microorganisms were seen. The doctor said not to worry and that everything is alright. He suggested taking more water. He also mentioned that the ultrasound report is also normal. I searched on the internet about RBCs in the blood and saw some very strange articles which scared me a lot. I request you to kindly help me out and suggest what I should do.
|
Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor forum. According to your reports, it seems to be a urinary tract infection secondary to a kidney stone. Some kidney stones are not visible on the ultrasound. So, I suggest you do a CT scan of the abdomen and repeat urinalysis. If the same report persists, then we can think of nephrolithiasis. Such reports can be seen in acute kidney injury secondary to a urinary tract infection which usually subsides on its own. Do not worry. For more information consult an internal medicine physician online

Hi doctor,I am a 22 year old female. Why does the area, which I believe is my ovaries, hurt when I stretch? The pain would be in both the left and right side. When I sit down for a long time or when I defecate, it hurts a lot in the area. During my periods, why do my legs go numb? Every month around the time, I experience leg numbness, back pain, pain in the butt area, and pain my stomach. I understand the stomach pain, but why do I have pain in other areas? When all this pain starts, I get panicked, as I do not know what to do. I try sitting down for a few seconds, which helps but then, my back pain starts. I try to walk, but the pain is not relieved.I start feeling sick and throw up. I start getting suicidal thoughts, and I just want to put myself out of this misery. When I take two painkillers for the pain, I end up sleeping the entire day and get up only to use the restroom. I do not eat, and I would end up going days without eating until I feel better. So, I just want to know what is the cause of this. This will help me explain my physician to help me better. I feel like this would affect me trying to go to work. I am trying to find a job, but I feel that if I take so many days off for the pain, my boss will fire me.I was thinking of getting a partial hysterectomy to stop it maybe, so I will have to deal with the pains, and I can stay on the job. But I am not sure if my insurance will cover it. Do you have any suggestions? Sorry for the long query, I just really need help. The last physician I had could not help me in the way that I needed help, so I stopped going to her. I need more of professional help.

Hi. From the history you have given, it sounds like something is affecting the neuromuscular area on both sides at the pelvic or may I say the deep groin area. Hope I have been of help to you, do write back. All the best. For more information consult an obstetrician and gynaecologist online

I have gotten 7 teeth removed 4 of them were my wisdom teeth which had to be cut out. On September the 9th. They put me on steroids and antibiotics. I went in for my one week appointment I complained of pain and diarrhea, I was told it was from the antibiotics. I still have diarrhea,headaches,nausea,upset stomach,and pain.
|
Hi, Thanks for asking the query, I would like to tell you that pain, swelling, nausea, dizziness, fever are common side effects after wisdom tooth extraction you don't worry about the symptoms as they will subside after sometimes. Abdominal discomfort is due to antibiotics and analgesics prescribed to you, visit to the concerned Dentist and get the prescription changed, also take an antacid along with the medications. Also take lukewarm saline and antiseptic mouthwash rinses for early recovery. Hope you find this as helpful, Regards.

I have mainly lower jaw pain that come on just maybe once every day or two and then leaves after about an hour but my jaw joints remain a little tender. My lower front teeth ache and my top front teeth ache also. I visit the dentist every six months and I also sleep with a cpap machine but the pain seems to come on in the evening
|
Hello, There are some possibilities that come to mind: grinding your teeth, root sensitivity or infection. Your C-Pap machine may be a factor causing you to breathe through your mouth or adjust your jaw position while sleeping. They can have a Chat Doctor. From your brief description, I am suspect of this. Review side effects and consider any recent adjustments such as a new mask, pressure? Are you sleeping well? Other factors such as your diet, other medications, allergies or sinus congestion may be contributing to your discomfort. Discuss all symptoms with your dentist at your next recall visit if symptoms persist. If your condition worsens, consult your dentist for an appointment. Make sure you keep up with good daily dental care. Try toothpaste for sensitive teeth and fluoride rinses. Keep well HY

My son is 20 months old and had vomiting throughout the night on Tuesday/Wednesday...after 5 episodes overnight, he was back to normal by Wednesday aside from a decreased appetite. Since Wednesday he has had very pale liquid stools with lots of gas. Activity level is normal--eating and drinking with no more vomiting. Is this stool change residual from the GI distress or does he need to be seen to rule out pancreatic/gall bladder involvement? Thank you for your time and expertise!
|
Hello, thank you for posting your query here. The vomiting and loose stools all seem like a part of the GI infection, and should settle.in a few days. I would suggest Ondansetron half hour.before.meals to. Help with the vomiting, and zinc supplements for the diarrhea as it has been shown to decrease the duration of diarrhea. Home available fluids like tender coconut water, buttermilk or ORS powder. Solution after every loose stool will replenish his fluids and electrolytes. Hope he gets better soon, take care.

Hi I had an mri and the dx was mild stress reaction 3rd tibia, my ortho told me 3 weeks on crutches...what about air cast leg brace or walking boot? I am a mother of two young kids...I would assume that there is some sort of functional method to heal this???
|
Hello, As you had a mild stress fracture in tibia, where was the fracture and if you advise for crutches then it means no weight-bearing should be applied to the injured limb. As it may aggravate the symptoms and non-healing or million. To avoid this the doctor must have asked to apply no weight. Air cast leg brace or walking is advised in the later stages and not for now in the acute situation. It's totally your call to take a wise decision, but I think the doctor has taken the right decision. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Hello doctor, My 61 years old mother underwent vestibuloplasty for lower jaws. Since she arrived, it seems to be bleeding. I know blood and saliva mixed together will seem like bleeding than it actually is. We live in an isolated area. And reaching a doctor was not possible. Could you please let us know what to do to clot the blood for now?
|
Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor forum. I understand your situation. Bleeding after vestibuloplasty or any oral surgical procedure is normal for the next two hours. There are certain instructions you can follow at home to stop bleeding. 1. Apply pressure to the surgical site. Place a thick cotton or gauze pad (probably from the first aid kit of your car) and ask your mother to bite it with pressure for the next 45 minutes. 2. Swallowing saliva. It will be difficult to swallow saliva with the blood taste. Saliva helps faster clotting. Avoid spitting which will increase bleeding and delay clotting. 3. Avoid disturbing the area frequently (to check for clotting). Leave it undisturbed. If the surgical area is disturbed after the clot formation, bleeding will start again. 4. Ask her not to disturb that area with the tongue. 5. Take some ice cubes in a ziplock. Wrap a clean cloth/ tissue over it. Give periodical and very gentle cold compress extra orally (not directly to the surgical site) after 45 minutes of gauze biting. You should seek emergency care if the bleeding is profuse even after three hours. Whereas, very mild bleeding is absolutely normal for today. And place an extra towel over the pillow before laying on the bed, which prevents pillow staining. I hope this helps.

|
Thanks for your query, the pain could be radiating from the teeth...the swollen gums and the swelling on the palate could be because of the gum infection or periodontitis or periodontal abscess...consult your oral physician and get it checked...you might have to take some radiographs to rule out the pathologies associated with the respective teeth. If it is just gum infection get your teeth cleaned...if it is tooth infection get it restored. I hope my answer will help you.take care.

Hi, I have a throbbing sensation in my left temple. I can feel the throbbing with my fingertips. This is a new sensation to me! Worried I am having an aneurysm . There is no pain and it s been on-and-off for two days. I am 27 and a little bit overweight , but have had blood pressure checked before (when I donate blood, for example) and it s always been fine.
|
Halloween we keep our fingertips over our blood pipes (arteries) which are located close to skin then the throbbing sensations can be felt. There is an artery called superficial temporal artery which passed up the temple region and that is what you are feeling. You can feel it i almost all people (Try it !!). It is not a common feature of aneurysm. However you can always consult a physician to clarify your doubts.

Had hepatis c and was treated two years ago with the pills and shots. I stopped doing drugs but started again and have hepatitis c. 11.0 I received the drugs first time free. Are the new drugs less costly ? Also I have been clean since February and have no plans to ever start again.
|
Hello, my name is Chat Doctor. I understand your concern. Treatment for hepatitis C, depending on:-How damaged your liver is.-Other health conditions you have.-How much hepatitis C virus you have in your body.-What type (genotype) of hepatitis C you have. Treatment with a combination of antiviral medicines can fight the viral infection and prevent serious liver problems. I suggest you to see a gastroenterologist for a proper treatment after an examination. Hope my answer was helpful. If you have any other question I'll be glad to help.

My brother in law is 49 years old. He was admitted in hospital for severe blood vomiting and purging. Hes been having severe abdominal pain, loss of appetite, weight loss, swelling of the entire body and dirty urine output. Doctors told us his liver is failing. Please tell us exactly whats happening with him. Everyday is hell for all of us.
|
HIT hank for asking to ChatDoctorI can understand your worry, if it is liver problem then it might be portal hypertension, let me tell you in brief about it, it is increasing the venous blood pressure in side the livers main vein either because of liver cirrhosis or thrombosis of liver vein, this is what I could say from the history given here else the complete clinical history and some investigative documents is needed, the prognosis of this would be great with proper treatment and great nursing care you may have words with your words have nice day.

I have interstitial cystitis which is not responding. I have had the installations, I have taken the Elmiron. I drink mint tea, milk and water. I eat very bland food. The only thing keeping me going is my Fentanyl patch. But I know my is still cystitis is very present because as the patch wears down the pain increases. When oh when can I get off the patch and live a normal life.
|
His am sorry, but no single treatment eliminates the signs and symptoms of interstitial cystitis, and no one treatment works for everyone. Often a combination of treatment is given. Tricyclic anti depressant like amitryptallline can be tried,anti-inflammatory analgesics can be taken orally. Pentosan polysulfate sodium used specifically for treating interstitial cystitis. How it works is unknown, but it may restore the inner surface of the bladder, which protects the bladder wall from substances in urine that could irritate it. Try these treatments.

i sprained my ankle and i went to the doctors friday and got an ankle brace the thing is some people say it takes a few months before your really healed is that true. i mean i only sprained it 2 weeks ago and just got it looked at friday when it was still hurting.
|
Hello, Take absolute bed rest for a couple of days. As of now you can use analgesics/anti-inflammatory combination like diclofenac/serratiopeptidase for symptomatic relief. You can apply ice packs for faster recovery. Generally the symptoms will settle in a couple of days. If symptoms persists better to consult an orthopedic and plan for an MRI scan. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

I have a dragging feeling on the right side of my face. also I feel my right ear is blocked. I had a sinus infection last month and took a course of antibiotics - worst infection ever, cause my forehead to go almost numb. aged 40, 5 ft 4, 10 stone (64 kgs), female, smoker
|
Hello and thank you for your question. Sinus infections, especially severe ones can irritate the nerves to the face and cause that Chat Doctor. This should clear up in time, but it may take a few weeks or even months if the infection was severe. Sometimes also when you have a sinus infection the Eustachian tube gets blocked, and you can get an ear infection. If the ear sensations persist you need to have a doctor look at your ear. Regards

Hi, I have a small lump/ bump just above my armpit. Tz been there for years and most doctors have told me it s nothing to worry about. I just turned 29 but never had a real cancer screen. This bump is not ichy but is hard to the touch. Should I be worried? Can you advice me on what kind of a screen or test to take to make sure it s not serious? thanks, jojo
|
Hi, If your Doctors have told you It's nothing to worry about then it is probably not anything serious - Could be a Lipoma or swelling containing fat cells. To be sure you can get an FNAC done. This is an investigation in which they insert a small needle into the lump and aspirate some cells out of the swelling and then examine the slide of cells under a microscope to see what it contains. You can ask your Doctor to get it done, and then you can be sure. Take care, Chat Doctor.

I possibly have multiple liver haemangiomas. Also iron deficiency probably due to heavy menstruation. Could the former impact on any treatment options for heavy bleeding?Also had bilharzia as a child (and treated), could this leave deposits/affect my liver?
|
Hi there, Hematomas shouldn't affect your menstruation cycles. They do have a risk of rupture, would, could cause your anemia, but you'd have significant right upper qua Chat Doctor. It depends on the size of the hematoma, but most of the time if they are small, the recommendation is usually just to watch them. I don't think Bulgaria should leave deposits in your liver and is unrelated to your hematomas. I hope I have answered your questions. Please feel free to contact me should you have any further questions.

Hello doctor,My head hurts. I have got a bad runny nose, my whole body hurts, and feel very sick. Is this bad?
|
Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor forum. Your symptoms are quite consistent with influenza or the common cold. If you do not have a fever yet, you will be coming down with it soon. It is viral so it will run its course. Over the counter, Paracetamol will help with the fever and body ache. Do not take any other painkillers like Aspirin, Ibuprofen or any other NSAIDs at all. For now just stay hy ChatDoctor.

|
Hello, Welcome Thanks for consulting Chat Doctor I have gone through your query, as you have noticed red vein under lip and bleeding gums there is nothing to worry it is seen in some patients and bleeding gums is due to periodontal problem. You do warm saline gargle two - three times a. Apply ointment Gum paint on bleeding gums twice daily. Consult dentist and go for Scaling and root planning for deposition of plains and calculus. Hope this will help you. Wishing you good health.

|
Hi, Thank you for posting your query. White matter loci or lesions on MRI are often non-specific and may not represent any specific disease. However, there are few common causes for these lesions. These include ischemia (lack of blood flow to brain), desalinating illness such as multiple sclerosis, and head injury (as in your case). They can also occur in people with migraine. Presence of contrast-enhancement on MRI lesions may indicate an active disease. Your neurologist would be in a better position to interpret the MRI abnormalities. I hope my answer helps. Please get back if you require any additional information. Wishing you good health, Chat Doctor. Ly/

hi sir /madam , my name is dhivyasriram one year past in marriage life but still i didn t get pregnant i consult near to lady doctor she said to check scan and test for mu husband and me and after that she said pod and gave medicine for three month to the irregular period after three month for me period become normal but i cannot became pregnant and for my husband their said low count and try after regular period but plse sir/ madam help me and tell me wt to do and tell me possible days for pregnant and my number is 0000
|
Hello Divya Sriram, You are suffering from POD and irregular periods, so your doctor gave you medication for regularization of periods for 3 months. Now you will need medication for ovulation induction and follicular study to see growth of the eggs and to tell you timing for having intercourse, so that chances for pregnancy can be increased. Also, if you are overweight, try to reduce weight. At the same time, you said, husband has low count, so, I would like to know the details of how low is the count. Accordingly, he will need treatment. So, I would suggest you to consult a fertility specialist. Hope this information is useful to you. Good luck.

hello sir, i am 22 years old.i am suffering from hair loss. front part of my scalp has no hair & hair falling gradually. i want my hair back , please provide best solution for me to gain my hair,and give suggestion to which product is best for hair gain.thank you.
|
Hi! Welcome to Chat Doctor. Com. I have read your query in detail and do understand your concern. Daily shedding of up to 100 hairs is normal. Excessive hair fall can be due to male pattern baldness, physical or mental stress, anemia or nutritional deficiency or certain medical conditions like thyroid disorders, low serum ferritin etc. Take a nutritious and protein rich diet(pulses, milk products, eggs). Use of hair supplements containing biotin will be of help. Avoid routine application of gels or frequent blow Chat Doctor. Use a sulfate free shampoo for your hair twice a week. A hair growth lotion or serum can be advised to you depending on the cause and severity of your hair fall. Biotin containing hair supplements can be taken for 3-6 months. Hope this helps! Good luck!

Hello Dr My 7.5 months old son has been suffering from high fever for the past 7 days...Blood examination has revealed a Total Count of 21300. On the prescription of our Dr, we intend to administer Advent Syrup 228.5 6 ml 2 times daily...Am worried of the side effects this ll have on the little one...Pls suggest
|
Hello, Let me tell you that advent is a combination antibiotic that has been given to your son for the infection. I want to make it clear that the pediatric dose of any medicine is calculated on the basis of per kg body weight and that is why 6 ml twice daily of the medicine has been given. And don't worry the doctor must have thought everything before prescribing. Please don't bother about the side effects, right now treating the infection is more important. So please be clear and don't worry. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Chat Doctor.

I am a 55 yr female, in good health. In the last several weeks, getting a sharp punching pain in the center of my chest. Happens during the day while working, or in the evening while resting, watching TV. Sometimes it will hit 4-6 times a day, but then 2-3 days nothing. Have been extra tired lately, feeling like I am drained, and want to sleep my life away. Having headaches more than usually. There are times when heart feels like it is racing. I work in a deli, where it can become stressful at times. Notsure what is going on, but ddon t want panic. Heart disease runs on both sides of my family. There are times when I feel a heavy feeling in my left chest are and sharp pain between my shoulders, but it doesn t last very long, and only happens once in a blue moon.
|
Hello, i have gone through your history. Your complaint is suggestive of stable angina sectors. The chest pain which results due to decreased blood supply to heart is known as angina sectors. And when angina occurs on exertion we call it stable angina. You have already strong family history. So you must be careful. You must go for resting ECG and echocardiogram along with lipid profile and blood sugar estimation. Depending on reports you may need coronary angiography to decide whether medicines will be enough to protect you against heart attack or you will angioplasty or bypass. Meanwhile you must start Tab. Metoprolol 25 mg once a day, with aspirin 75 mg and atorvastatin 10 mg at bedtime. Further addition and alteration should be done after complete evaluation. Please proceed for early evaluation. My best wishes. Chat Doctor.

I m 20 years old. I have pigmentation on my skin, small black spots ( about 4 or 5 in number on my face), which according to my doctor is due to excessive exposure to sunlight. I have undergone laser procedure to get them removed 5 to 6 times, but there are still very small amounts of the pigmentation left. I use SkinLight cream on the spots every night. Is there a way to completely get rid of these spots and prevent recurrence of them?
|
Hi, from the description that you have given, it seems you are most probably having freckles. Freckles can be best prevented by avoiding sun exposure and using a good sunscreen with SPF more than 40 even if staying indoors. Lasers, chemical peels (glycol, trichloroacetic acid peels), radiofrequency or even segmenting creams like the one that you are using can be used to lighten them. There are multiple laser treatments like fr axel, q switched or ILL available for freckles. Consult your dermatologist to know which one would suit you better. Take care.

I have what feels like a lump towards the back of my mouth. It s almost right where the tongue meets the gum line. I ve had this feeling before, years ago. It feels irritated whenever I swallow or eat something, but it isn t very painful, just annoying. I can t see it in the mirror. I can only feel it when I stick my finger back there. It feels like a small lump. What could it be and is it serious?
|
Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor forum, I would like to inform you that a lump which has suddenly appeared needs to be checked thoroughly by the dentist, it may increase in increase over time, I therefore advise you to see a dentist. Do not worry, the lump may be normally present, just to make sure nothing is wrong kindly visit your dentist. The lump may be due to an infection and subside as the infection resolves, Dentist may prescribe medication if required, i hope I answered your query, i wish you good health, take care.

i am a 42 yr old female... never had skin problems but the last 2 weeks i have been getting bumps on my arms and neck that look like mosquito bites.. very itchy,,, i scratch so bad that they bleed .. my hands are very itchy.. swelled up.. feel like they are on fire and there is no relief.. ive tried benadryl .. allergy meds... all types og anti itch creams and nothing is helping me... and now ive been running a fever.. any ideas??
|
Hello, The bumps on your neck and arms being very itchy suggests it may be cholinergic urticaria and high dose long acting antihistamines will help. Fever, joint pains, rash that does not disappear but looks like a bruise or leaves a scar needs further investigating to ensure that it is not a form of vasculitis (inflammation of blood vessels). However, just a fever is not suggestive of this condition, and a viral infection triggering the itchy rash is usually the most likely explanation. If the fever continues, do ensure an infection screen is done, and you are on the right antimicrobial but continue on the antihistamines until the rash is well gone for 2 weeks and then stop the antihistamine tablets. Thanks.

I have been diagnosed with a very rare neurological condition called neuroferritinopathy. However I am suffering from symptoms which are not recognised by my consultant as neuroferritinopathy. 1. I have pain in a number of joints.2. I have an overactive bladder.3. I am losing my sense of smell.4. I am going deaf in my left ear.
|
Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor. You are affected by a disorder in which iron accumulates in brain and other cells. It is due to mutation in gene called FTL gene. Please avoid intake of iron supplements. At present, there is no absolute cure for Neuroferritinopathy. You need physiotherapy and NSAIDs for painful joints. Adequate calorie intake is necessary. Only symptomatic management is currently available. Do all necessary investigations like Ferritin level in blew, MRI brain etc. Consult with your family doctor and Neurologist as well as genetics expert to have a better management and followup. Hope this helps. Take care.

Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ? Please type your query here...i have a hard lump above my belly button. not painfull but its there. does not seem to be small!im overweight but have been going to gym. this seemed to get worse as i had bronchitis and was coughing really bad
|
Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You may have umbilical or para umbilical hernia, or it may be some soft tissue tumor of muscle sheath. You should go for ultrasound study of that lump and physical examination. If it is hernia then you should go for surgery. If it is tumor then go for biopsy and take treatment accordingly. Hope I have answered your question, if you have any doubts then contact me at bit.ly/ Chat Doctor. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Wish you a very good health.

HiI am a 31 year old female considering going on the contraceptive pill. I have most recently used the Merina coil which resulted in many negative side effects including acne on face and back (I had never has any skin issues before), serious lethargy, significant anxiety symptoms and massive fluid retention. Also raised prolactin levels. I have given my body a years break and would like to go on a low dose pill that will not aggravate my acne as it is still an ongoing (but now more minor issue) and not cause fluid retention/appetite increase. I have tried various pills in the past including cilest, microgynon, Mercilon and the contraceptive patch.I would be grateful for any advice you can offer.
|
Hi, Thanks for posting your question here, I will try to answer it to the best of my abilities. If contraceptive pills don't work for you, why not just calculate the days when you ovulate? These are the danger days when you can get pregnant. This is how you calculate it - count 14 days from your last period, the next 4 days after that are the danger day, i.e. the days you are ovulating. So just to be on the safe side, for 7 days instead of the 4 I mentioned avoid intercourse, and you should be okay. I hope this answered your question.
