Hi, Thanks for writing in. Acne is a hormonal disorder. When untreated or improperly treated acne can cause pigmentation and ugly scars on face. You should apply antibiotic like clindamycin in morning for 2 hours. Darlene should be applied at nighttime. Washing your face with Himalaya need face wash would be helpful. Oral Chat Doctor. Please visit a good dermatologist or physician for proper examination and treatment with prescription

Hi Dear, Welcome to Chat Doctor. Understanding your concern. As per your query your baby have symptoms of severe vomiting, diarrhea and fever which is due to deny Chat Doctor. It could be due to disturbed metabolism of body leading to electrolyte imbalance. Need not worry. I would suggest you to take acetaminophen and anti-emetic medication. Take diet rich in multivitamins and avoid any oily sharp and fast food. Avoid intake of any outside food. Visit pediatrician once and get it examined. You should get blood tests done to find out underlying cause of condition and start treatment accordingly. Your symptoms will resolve in 3-5 days. You should take proper rest. You should take plenty of fluids to ready

I have a lump on my armpit the size of a kidney bean. It s been there and painless for about 2years. Then just about 7 days ago, I noticed a thick brown pus with a foul odour coming out of it. I pressed it for days now, and it seems flatter but not completely out yet. Please what do I do?
|
Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You may have some enlarged lymph node due to reactive hyperplasia, tuberculosis, abscess forming infection or some cystic lesion. You should go for examination and if needed to go for fine needle aspiration cytology of that lump. It will give you exact diagnosis. Then you should take treatment 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.

I have swelling from my knees down with the worst being ankle and foot. I also have pain with worsening as the day progresses. I have been diagnosed with lymphedema and have a machine to help with that but it is not helping. I have already had a stress test and it was normal. What could be the cause of this?
|
Welcome to Chat Doctor I have gone through your query and understand your concern. There are many causes of generalized swelling, but most common of this is congestive cardiac failure in which heart is not able to pump the blood efficiently. Second is low blood protein count. Other cause such as kidney failure and thyroid function should be excluded by kidney function test and thyroid function test respectively. You can discuss with your doctor about it. Hope your query get answered. If you have any clarification then don't hesitate to write to us. I will be happy to help you. Wishing you a good health. Take care.

My son who is 43 and a diabetic he has been vomiting usely we end up in the hospital but we are out of nausea meds, and out in the country about 35 miles from a good hospital, my girl friend who was real sick pregnant took ondansetn cant read the rest 4 mg. if we don.t get this stopped he will end up in the hospital can he try one or not.
|
Hi, I did review your concern. Continuous vomiting in a diabetic is very concerning for either Diabetic ketoacidosis or Nontoxic hyperosmolar coma. I would recommend you to take him to nearby hospital and get his blood and urine evaluated for ketones and lactic acid and also glucose. This may be a fatal situation and earlier you take action better the eventual course is. I hope this helps you. Wish your son healthy life.

Hi me and my husband have been trying to have a baby for last 6 months. We both are working at different place and not living together. I am sure atleast 3 times we were in contact during the week of my ovulation. Last month i had consulted my gynaecologist and did follicular study. On day 13th the size was 18 mm. She gave an injection and we kept contact for next 3 days. But That month also i got my periods. Can u guide me on next step. Is too early for me to go to doctor for check ups for me and my husband.
|
Dear member, Thanks for writing. The chance of conceiving in each cycle is only 15-20% in healthy couples. In your case you both are also staying away and meet less often. Be sides you are trying since only 6 months. There is a good possibility of you conceiving in few months as your ultrasound showed that you ovulated normally. You can use ovulation detection kits at home to time intercourse with ovulation. Please do basic blood investigation like hemoglobin, thyroid profile, sugar test. Husband semen analysis also to be done. If normal no need to worry. Please write back with report. Thanks Chat Doctor.

Hi.. My whole body complexion is becoming darker. Parts of my body not exposed to sun were very fair before. But now my whole body has turned darker and is becoming darker day by day. I would like to know what might went wrong and how to get back my previous skin tone
|
Hello, Thank you for posting on Chat Doctor. Generally, in my patients of sun tanning I would advise then to get series of microdermabrasion followed by chemical peeling. Microdermabrasion is a procedure that removes the superficial deal layers of skin, and it is done with a help of machine. Then after a week or same day itself I would carry out another procedure called chemical peeling. Chemical peeling is again a similar procedure where superficial layers of skin is removed but here the effect is more profound, and it stimulates new skin generation in much better way thus giving you more youthful and radiant skin. Several options are available in chemical peels like glycolic acid, alicyclic acid, TCA but my personal favorite is retinol peel or also known as Yellow peel. The rationale of combining this procedure is to get better and long-lasting effects. I am sure 6-8 sessions will bring out a pretty gratifying results. At home the results can be maintained with antioxidant tablets like Antonio HC once daily in morning(It can be safely taken for months together) and night application of cream containing mixture of glycolic acid, albumin and Comic acid. In morning, you can apply a good quality sunscreen with additional skin lightening ingredients (NIL TAN SPF). Use a good quality face wash like Fast face wash gel. Take plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables in your diet and indulge into regular exercise for healthy skin and body. Hope this was useful. Let me know if I can be of any more assistance. Thank you and take care, Chat Doctor. D Dermatology

I AM LOOKING FOR A PAIN MANAGEMENT DOCTOR TO HELP WITH MY ANXIETY & CHRONIC PAIN (MOSTLY BACK PAIN). I CURRENTLY GO TO A METHADONE CLINIC, BUT IT IS OVER A 200 MILE TRIP TWICE A WEEK, AND I M NOT SURE IF METHADONE IS THE BEST THING FOR ME. I WOULD LIKE TO WORK WITH A PAIN SPECIALIST DOCTOR AND EXPLORE MORE OPTIONS SO I CAN LEAD A BETTER REDUCED PAIN LIFE
|
Yes definitely for you the best option is to adopt Ayurveda oils and some pain management herbal capsules those can be taken at home for long time without side effects. Similarly, for anxiety you cannot depend on synthetic medicine for long time. To my own patients I would recommend Rumply DS herbal tablets and Short capsules and also Mahanarayan oil for gentle message followed by hot fomentation for absorption of medicine. This oil is little smelly but naturally effective. Alternatively Rumply OUL is odorless but little less effective. Ayurveda med is SLOW. You may not see changes rapidly but then weigh the plus points. It is economic, safe, easy to apply and side effect less. If you can get the help if Ayurveda doctor near you, its excellent or go by these safe herbals yourself. IRS sure that it will not cause any problems. Worst may be that it may not give you relief.... But it will give you relief. Believe me. Hope it helps you.

My mother in law is a 62 year old who has been having a dizziness since Sept 2011. She has had similar episodesin 2009 and 2010. She had a lab work done on Friday Oct 20th 2011. Her lab results are as follows:WBC 1900, HB 6.8, HCT 16, PLATELET 28000. She has been advised to get admitted and is undergoing blood transfusion in a hospital in Chennai. She has also been having Hip pain on her left side for which there has been no tx done. She is going to have a bone marrow test scheduled for Tuesday. THere has been no hematology conuslt nor has there been any talk about her latest blood work by her physician. I am healthcare professional in the US and am concerned about tx. Please advise.
|
Hi, dear. I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. Your complete blood count report suggests you have pancytopenia means your all counts are low. You should go for bone marrow examination once. If any major cause is found in the fine marrow then you should consult hematologist. If no any causes are there in bone marrow then physician consultation is ok. So go for bone marrow examination then than take treatment 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.

Hi. Thanks for your query and an elucidated history. This is certainly indicative of an active infection in the would or may be in the urinary tract or so.

And start a broad spectrum antibiotic once the samples are Chat Doctor.

I am 10, between about 1.3m to 1.2m, weigh 24kg and I haven t had any major illnesses, apart from being knocked out for a few seconds (I think) after a fall when I was around six or seven. I don t get thirsty, even when my friend, who is the same age as me, was extremely thirsty. I m also really thin, with not much muscle or fat. Is this dangerous? If so, what can I do?
|
Dear, You are absolutely fine and feeling less thirsty is not a problem. 60% of our body is composed of water and intake of 2 to 3 ltd of water per day is good. Please try to see that you are taking at least 2 to 3 ltd per day water, buttermilk or any home fluids. Your weight of 24 is less for that age. You should be 30 to 34kgs. So, please see that you take high energy dense food in small quantities more frequently, like black gram and Jagger powder, groundnut , jaggery and ghee powder, boiled and cooked pulses.

I woke up this morning with a sharp aching pain in my inner thigh I have never experienced before. I took some ibuprofen and went back to sleep. When I woke up the pain now starts left to my groin and shoots down to the bottom of my foot. It s almost unbearable. What can I do?
|
Hi there. Welcome to Chat Doctor. I have read your query. Do you have any back pain ? What is your age ? It appears you could be having muscle spasm as a result of nerve pinching due to possible disc prolapse Beside the pain is radiating to your foot from the thigh. There are various causes for the same but if you are having back pain as well, it is imperative to get evaluated for disc problems in your spine and any problems in the hip like arthritis. Kindly avoid lighting heavy weights or bending forward. Eat healthy. Stay stress-free. Consult your Orthopedic surgeon in this regard for a thorough examination and evaluation of your problem. I hope I have answered your query. Thanking you.

I have a small ish White lump with a red ring around it on the roof of my mouth toward the left side, it hurts quite alot and hurts to spit and swallow . I have had it for about 8 weeks. I have recently been to the dentist and they said the lump was nothing but they said that I needed a deep filling redone as it had chipped and become decayed again. they took an x ray to find this. I am 14 and very worried about the lump and getting the tooth refilled as I have a fear of the dentist. Any help as to what this is would be very appreciated. Thank you
|
Dear Millie It looks like you are having periapical abscess. This happens when the decay has become deep and reached the pulp and progressed to tip of the root. The pus is now probably Chat Doctor. Since the X-ray has been taken, it would clearly show how deep has the decay reached and whether that is the cause for your lump. In your case most likely root canal treatment is required. The second possibility is that the tooth is decayed beneath the filling and the tooth has chipped off leading to food and plaque accumulation, which might have caused gingival abscess (abscess of gums) . In which case redoing of filling is sufficient provided the decay has not reached the pulp (X-ray will confirm this). In either case you need not have to be scared, dentist will anesthetist the tooth during the procedure (if he doesn't then insist on it). Visit dentist regularly and get yourself examined to prevent future problems. Take care regards

hi, i had a ring fungal infection in past on my belly. now the fungal infection has heeled many years ago but the black spot is still there. So can you please advice me how to remove the black spot. thank you
|
Dear Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor ! Usually 4 WEEKS is the time for cutaneous Tina (fungal) infections for a cure. So your infection has probably not properly healed. Find skin diseases usually heal with hypopigmentation (light color) or hyperpigmentation (dark color); the color blends with normal skin in few months or so. Therefore, I advise you to please consult a dermatologist for evaluation as dark color is still present. I don't advice self-medication. Good luck.

Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. He has creatinine level 2.2. In routine case it is not very high.

I am 62 years old, 6ft 2in and 290 pounds. I have chronic A-Fib for 5 years, non symptomatic. For one week now I have been feeling the blood flow, pulsing, in my left upper chest with some pain, but not constant. I am taking a mild blood pressure medicine (losartan-hctz) and coumidin with BPs of 150 / 95. What do you think? Thank you.
|
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Atrial fibrillation (AF) is tacky arrhythmia. If not controlled, it can cause lethal and life-threatening complications. You are now symptomatic since last 1 week. So all these symptoms can be due to AF. And hence you need to treat AF as soon as possible. You are not improving with medical treatment, so you need Radio Frequency Ablation (RFA). Before this you need to get done Electrophysiologist study (EP study). So consult cardiologist and discuss all these. RFA is having excellent success rates. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.

My father 65 had a slight double vision on left eye , we contacted many doctors (eye specialist) but no progress at last one doctor recommended MRI . The MRI show Pituitary adenoma compressing left optical never sizing 40mm x 27mm , unfortunately the CBC shows WBC cells more, doctors has put him on imatinib 400 and WBC are reducing , can we make the surgery for Pituitary adenoma and the cost and the type of surgery I want to know..?
|
Hi, Thank you for posting your query. I have noted your fathers symptoms and diagnosis. Pituitary adenoid needs surgery for treatment, as there are no medicines to reduce it completely. Also, this tumor may press on the optic nerves resulting in greater loss of vision. The surgery would be done by a neurosurgeon, and is mostly done through the nose. The cost differs among different centers in India and may range from 5000 to 10000 USD. 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/

|
Reclothe itching and redness of foreskin is due to infection of the foreskin (Prostatitis) or genital Candidiasis. As this is common in individuals with diabetes you need to get your blood sugar test done to rule out Diabetes. You need to take broad spectrum antibiotic like Definite along with antifungal Chat Doctor. Along with topical antibiotic ointment like Newsprint twice daily. Ensure to wash your genitals with warm water twice daily. Ensure to avoid sexual encounters till it heals up completely.

hi i hav son who will b 4 years soon .since he was 6 months old he first had a bad congestion...since then it is always like it starts with a cold particularly sneezing and then cough for two weeks it happens every now and then...he also hav enlarged adenoids ....he is taking singulair more often ..is removing enlarged adenoids the solution so tht sneezing doesnt come more often?
|
Thanks for asking I have gone through your question. Your 4-year-old child recurrent sneezing and cough with enlarged adenoids. The symptoms you tell suggest that your child is suffering from allergic sneezing and cold. Allergy also cause enlarge adenoids. Removing adenoids not improve in sneezing problem. I add budesunide nasal spray for those kids who not improved by singular. By budesunide nasal spray symptoms of sneezing and cough should improve. And size of adenoids also normalize. It takes about 15 days to get effect of budesunide nasal spray. So talk with your doctor about these thanks , wish healthy family

Severe indigestion that leads to lung problems can be serious. There are more advanced treatment options for bad indigestion and reflux that include surgical procedures. You can talk to your gastroenterologist about these options. In the meantime, I would recommend that you sleep with a wedge pillow, with your torso angled up at your hips to help prevent acid from regurgitating into your airways and lungs, which can cause several major problems. If you don't have a wedge pillow, you can use something to elevate the head of the bed (like bricks under 2 corners of the bed).

My husband just had back surgery. He was prescribed Amlopdipie besylate 50mg. Hes blood presuure is still high at 188/123. no nausia, no dizziness. At the hospital, he was not released until his BP was below /100. Not sure if it is normal to take some time for the medicine to work. He was released 2 days ago.
|
Brief answer :You need to see your doctor to change or to add any other medication to get a normal blood pressure. Detailed answer:You are right on making this question. Thank you. The blood pressure of 188/ 123 mmHg is really high and has to be treated. Amlodipine desolate is a good medication in his conditions, but seems it is not enough, for the moment. It takes at least 8 hours to reach the peak level in blood, and 3 -4 days to stabilize the blood pressure. So for this 3-4 days after admission from the hospital, he has to add any other blood pressure medication that acts fast, for example Zapotec (enalapril) 10 mg once a day. It begins to act in 20 minutes and has less side effects. If after 4 days the blood pressure is not yet stabilized, then you need to see your doctor to review the treatment. Please feel free to make any other question you need. Kind Regards,

I have a rash and am unable to pinpoint the cause. I have been to a dermatologist who prescribed claritin in am and antihistimine in pm and steroid creams. Nothing seems to help. I am logging food intake and changed laundry detergent. Can you help me determine likely causes
|
Hello, Rashes on skin commonly occurs due to side effects of medications, allergies, eczema, autoimmune conditions, psoriasis, contact dermatitis or shingles. Since antihistamines and steroids are not working. You are suggested to have a clinical examination by a dermatologist done. You may have to get blood test, test of an area of the scaly or crusted skin, skin biopsy & STD tests done. Furthermore, you will be treated with antivirals or antibiotics depending upon the severity of the infection detected. Stop taking any food that causes allergy, medicines causing side effects & reduce stress. Avoid alcohol, smoking & addictions if any. Avoid too much exposure to the skin, wear loose fitting cotton clothes. In the meantime you can apply Crisaborole (Europa) ointment locally. Phototherapy in also an effective treatment. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Hello, I have an upper back issue near the rohmboid and scapula (right side). When it flares up I darn near have to take the afternoon off of activities with my kids.

It is beyond frustrating, I first felt it roughly 1 1/2 years ago, while working extending with the arm repetitive motion doing janitorial.It has progressed worse and worse. I work fast repetitive motion all day long. I recently had an MRI of upper extremity focus on rohmboid right shoulder I got the Mri and supposedly it came back normal. They can feel inflamation, that s why 1 doctor wrote an mri for likely tear . Now the mri says normal my PA says I m fine. ?

Hello, If you are performing repetitive activities with your arm/shoulder, and you feel the pain or sensation of discomfort/swelling in the mid to upper back region where the scapula and rhomboid muscle are located then, you could have a nerve entrapment syn Chat Doctor. I recommend seeing a neurologist and describing your symptoms. This should prompt an examination of the back and the affected area to see if you have anything that we refer to as myofascial pain. In your area of complaints, swelling, WINGING SCAPULA, or any other physical evidence of trauma or positional entrapment of even blood vessels in the area that can occur from sitting too long in one position, sleeping on the affected side without moving enough, etc. An EMG/NCV study could demonstrate abnormalities of nerves and muscles in this region as well. Also, I would recommend either a CT or PLAIN X-RAYS of the thoracic spine and right shoulder girdle in both flexion and extension positions (something not able to be done on an MR scanner) which can demonstrate other causes of this sort of pain such as arthritic degeneration, scoliosis, other skeletal abnormalities irritating structures in that region. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care

Just wonder, neurologists are last I want to see but here I am. Does any of this make sense 4 ms ...if I get on treadmill or still bike my body can shut down fast can not move no ability at times . A gym did call once 911 amb. Came and not allowed to be any gym

I read your question carefully, and I understand your concern. The diagnosis of MS is made by symptoms and signs coupled with MRI. Since you don't mention to have had any MRI lately we are left only with the tingling and movement disorder (which is a little unclear). Tingling can be a manifestation of MS but so can it be a manifestation of many brain lesions. In your case given your history with the accident, the coma and subsequent seizures it is to be assumed that a brain lesion has happened due to the accident, and it has left a damaged area which could well justify the symptoms. So to conclude I would consider it far more likely the symptoms to be due to the brain injury rather than you having a whole new neurological condition (frankly what are the chances of that on top of what you already have). In order to completely exclude MS an MRI can be scheduled. I hope to have been of help.

I just started smoking hookah about a month or 2 ago, and I don t smoke all the time, maybe once a week when I m with friends, and now I m having chest pains, the pain started 24 hours ago, and I thought it was something I ate but now I m not sure bc the pain hasn t gone away. The area of the pain is inside and in the middle of my chest? How can I get rid of the pain?
|
Hello dear, thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. In my opinion you are having mostly HERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease). Hookah smoking aggravates and worsens HERD. It is due to laxity of gastroesophageal sphincter. Because of this the acid of the stomach tends to come up in the esophagus and cause the Central chest pain. So better to avoid stress and tension. Avoid hot and spicy food. Avoid large meals, instead take frequent small meals. Start Proton pump inhibitors. Quit hookah smoking as soon as possible as it is not good habit.

Hello doctor,I am 18 years old female and sexually not active. A month back, I woke up and peed straight up blood. I went to the ER and was diagnosed a bladder infection/UTI. I was prescribed Bactrim and the next day woke up with a rash. It turns out I was allergic. So, the next day I started a new medicine and took it for a few days. The blood stopped, but I felt pain, so I went back to the ER. They told me my UTI was gone and to stop taking the medicine. A few days later, I saw blood when I wiped after peeing, but it looks like it was in my discharge. It went on a few times, and I went back to the ER three days ago and said that I was peeing blood again. So, I am worried. I have not gotten my period this month, and no, I am not pregnant. I am a virgin. They said it was not a UTI and I was fine. I have had no pain or anything. Just now I peed and when I wiped there was blood in my discharge. It is not a lot but still freaks me out. I cannot tell if it is my period or something else. I have never had this happen before. My mother said that it is spotting but makes no sense to me.

Hello. This is likely to be irregular shedding which can often occur in adolescence by mid-cycle in girls with secondary progesterone deficiency due to either delayed ovulation or stress-induced hormonal imbalances. You need to get a serum progesterone level done and if it is less than 21ng/dl by day 21 of your cycle, then you may need cyclical progesterone therapy. For more information consult an obstetrician and gynaecologist online

I am a 62 year old lady, I have looked after my teeth very well all my life - brushed and flossed etc 2/3 times a day, and went to the dentist 2 times a year for cleaning. Two years ago I developed redness in my gums, which eventually turned to white peeling, massive amounts of blood were also an issue. My dentist referred me to an oral surgeon, who referred me to a pathologist, I was treated with steroidal rinse, and fungal rinse. This seemed to help somewhat, but I developed a puss discharge, then 2 of my molars got loose, which have recently been removed. Before I got the teeth removed, in August of this year, I asked my dentist for an antibiotic, he prescribed me Nova Pen. for 5 days, this did not kill the puss infection, then my doctor prescribed me Clindimician for 10, which after taking I was allergic to. My dentist thought that after the loose molars were removed that the infection should go away, it has been more than a week since removal, and I have been back to the oral surgeon, who says he can do nothing for me.(he extracted the Molars.Do I need another antibiotic? The infection is mostly bothersome at night when I lie down, the puss coats the inside of my mouth, and there is also a bloody discharge. I have not had any antibiotics prior to taking them in August for about 8 years. I have been told by my dentist that it is not healthy to have this infection, it started in March of this year and I still have it, I am afraid of loosing more teeth, I have bridge work, and crowns. How can I make this go away, my teeth have also now receded.
|
Hello! Thank you for posting in Chat Doctor. You are suffering a desquamative gingivitis. You did not mention if you suffer such peeling anywhere else in your body. This is more common in females, postmenopausal. You also will suffer more periodontal problems than normal. Do not panic. Your doctor has suggested use of topical steroids which is the major treatment plan. This periodontal issues will reduce once the gingivitis is controlled. Use steroids as prescribed by your dentist. Also take doxycycline 100Β mg once daily for 3 weeks. Use a regular toothpaste. Do not change your paste and mouthwashes often. You will require a biopsy for a definitive diagnosis as many conditions will cause this. Please see your oral pathologist to get this done. If you suffer any candidiasis, this must be controlled first. The pus discharge means infection still persists. A x-ray for the extraction site is absolutely necessary. Infection in tooth cannot be completely eliminated with antibiotics. Tooth responsible for the infection has to be removed as your dentist did it. Regards.

My husband was on a cruise ship at sea, the 2nd day of our trip, He was at the pool reading a book for abt. and hr. or so, around 12pm. He suddenly started to get chills, and chattering teeth, by the time we got to our cabin, he was freezing and had a very high fever, and bad headache, after a few hrs of tylenol around 5or 6pm his fever broke, The next day he was fine and 7 days later, he developed a fatigue and achiness all over, but mostly in his neck thighs chest and arms. He has been sick for 7 wks, no energy, He is now on prednisone and feeling totally well again, what do you think he had? We have not gotten a dianosis from any Dr. yet.

Hi Dear, Welcome to Chat Doctor. Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of high fever with chills and body ache which could be due to infection either by viral or bacterial microorganism. It could be due to compromised immunity of body as well. Need not worry. I would suggest you to take combination of anti-inflammatory medication Cetirizine along with Ibuprofen. Chat Doctor. Take painkiller if backache is severe. Avoid intake of outside food. You should take Azithromycin as well as it could be the case of coinfection. Visit General physician once and get it examined. Get blood tests done if symptoms keeps on persisting. Do tepid sponging as well. Hope your concern has been resolved. Get Well Soon. Best Wishes,

I had a root canal on a back tooth, number 25 I believe, the dentist did not fill the four root canal holes and he put a tempory crown on......it has been one year. I have had crazy pain.....how long can you wait before having the holes filled. It was a tempory cement used and a plastic tempory bridge on all three back teeth.
|
Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query. The pain after the root canal treatment can be because of the missed canal, or incompletely filled root canals. Nothing to be panic, consult an endodontist and get it retreated. You might have to get the bridge removed and get the tooth retreated. Meanwhile you can take a course of antibiotics like amoxicillin and metronidazole(if you are not allergic). I hope my answer will help you, take care.

|
Degree understand your concerns went through your description. I suggest you not to worry much. Your balls are hanging because your skin there tend to loosen and tighten according to so many physical and atmospheric conditions. Nothing to worry. Your foreskin may be operated for clear skin movement and for better sexual life. Night spilling of sperm is normal at your age. Penis shape is like banana for almost every one, and it is good for intercourse. You should keep your private area clean as an immediate treatment to itching. You are just 20, and you are worrying about your sexual life. Please keep yourself engaged in your career and education. Sexual life is secondary. You will learn it in due course. You might need psychological counseling., I am more than happy to provide telephone psychological counseling through Chat Doctor. Contact me through customer care, www.ChatDoctor .com. Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications. Good luck.

hi Doctor I have mild white patches on some part of my scalp. I have been having this problem since 8 years. as of now i am using 777 oil for applying it on my affected scalp and also taking Zemega -3 medicine. But it cures temporarily Dr says it is mild psoriasis. so please advsie whether it is curable
|
Hello. Thanks for writing to us at Chat Doctor Dan Chat Doctor. While seborrhea dermatitis is associated with faintly red patches, itching and yellow greasy adherent scales; psoriasis is characterized by well-defined deeply red patches, with thick candle wax like scales. The diagnosis of psoriasis is clinical in most cases. There may psoriasis plaques elsewhere on the body as well. If I was the treating doctor I would have asked you to use a coal tar+salicylic acid based shampoo, daily or every alternate days for mild psoriasis affecting the scalp. Depending on the clinical severity of psoriasis, dermatologists may also ask to apply a topical steroid+salicylic acid lotion for 2-4 weeks, if there are thick scaly plaques of psoriasis, as shampoo alone might not be sufficient. Other effective options apart from steroids that are available to treat scalp psoriasis are topical It D analogues like calcitriol and calcitriol. Psoriasis can recur again after seemingly complete cure. Therefore, once the patches and scaling is effectively controlled with topical treatment with lotions, a shampoo would be effective for maintaining the improvement. These are all prescription products, therefore, I would suggest you that you talk to your dermatologist for the needful. Your dermatologist would be able to assess whether shampoo alone would be effective or do you require additional topical treatment with lotions. Regards

Lower back spasms, pain, chills, fever, and fatigue. Fever at 104 now. Contraction like spasms ever 5-8 hours. Three weeks of pain. Doc keeps saying its just a back spasm but the muscle relax, pain med and anti immflam aren t fixing anything and barely keeping my husband functional. We have been to doc several times with little to no serious help.

Hi, thank you for posting! I have gone through your query and I understand your concerns. According to what you have said above, I think that you might suffer from an infectious disease. In most cases, viruses cause these types of infectious diseases. In order to determine the diagnosis, you should do the following:- Physical examination- Pulmonary X-Ray- Complete blood count-Liver test-Urine testate information that is to be taken from the above test, will orientate for the right diagnosis and treatment. You should consult your necrologist in order to discuss more about your condition. Take care,

I am not sure what to to?
|
Hi dear, I have gone through your question and understand your concerns. Pain and cramps are common in early pregnancy are due to the enlargement of the uterus and is normal. However, if you are having increased pain, it can be because of urinary tract infection also. I will suggest you to consult an ORGAN specialist to get properly examined, investigated including ultrasound and urine examination, and get treated accordingly. Hope you found the answer helpful. Wishing you good health. Chat Doctor.

Hi, maybe we can put all symptoms to one cause. She has constipation and nocturia.there is a condition called celiac disease which can start with a rash, that keeps increasing in size .at 8 year of age its unclear what female problems she can have. You have to do some special tests in her blood, in a specialized center with doctors from many specialities specially like endocrine, deramtologist and who will surely help. Keeping away from food containing gluten (bread) may also help till you get your appointments

Hi, My name is Ali I want to ask you some thing about my mother detail is given below Colostomy done 3 months ago due to abstraction after CT scan and colon scope found adenocarcinoma in rectum and CEA report was 82 the portion containing adenocarcinoma has been removed with open surgery After Surgery CEA report is 4.45 Normal MRI both plain and contrast also showing normal from lever to pelvis no evidence found mean to say all is clear No I want to ask you that which type of therapy is necessary for my mother is Radiation and chemo is necessary or not
|
Hello! Thank you for the query. Chemotherapy or radiotherapy is advisable depending on the clinical stage of the cancer. Only in stage I and II (not every case) chemotherapy is not necessary. All others stages needs chemotherapy. You need to know that chemotherapy is used for eliminating all micrometastases. Even one cancer cell left can cause further spreading of the cancer. Such small metastasis are invisible for MRI, so this test can be decisive for chemotherapy. Such test which can tell about left metastases is PET test, however still it can not show single cancer cells. Hope this will help. Regards.

HI, My name is XXXXX. My husband and i are planning to have a kid. My age is 38 and my husband is 46. My doctor prescribe me to take a clomid after the 5 days of my period. I had to redo the test bec i was out of town. On my second test, my period is only heavy from 3pm-12mn, and the next day was just spotting. I still took the clomid after 5 days. And they do the ultrasound on my 13th day. they didn t find any dominant folicles. I m not sure if my medicine is ok for me or not. My period is not the same as before. Please advise me if its safe or not to take it.
|
HELLO NINE, Well you are worried why you didn't get any follicles on day 13. I think you res can after 3 days and look for any that has come up. Your age is of concern. From the next cycle you take closed from day 2 onwards for five days, and add gonadotrophin to your cycle, and do a follicular study from day 9 onwards. You may perform a day 3 FSH, a serum prolactin and fasting plasma insulin. Good luck and take prompt treatment. Bye

My Daughter has had a fever of up to 103.8 since Tuesday. Have had her to the dr twice and the ER once. Every single time I have taken her they have asked about a rash that was not there. Today she is still running the fever and has a rash all over her body that does not itch. they told us yesterday they thought she had maybe been bitten by a tick and put her on Doxycycline. Her other symptoms are extreme lower back pain and rib pain that keeps her from taking deep breaths. They ran an ultrasound on her gaulbladder, kidneys, pancreas and ovaries last night. her white blood count is at 20 and her pulse is 140.
|
Hi... Thank you for consulting in Chat Doctor. It could be any viral erythematous illness, or it could be a Rickets infection due to a tick bite. As there is high grade fever it could be toxic urticaria too. I suggest you use calamine lotion as its giving results along with oral antiallergic like HY Chat Doctor. But if the kid is having poor oral intake or low urine output, then she might need intravenous fluids. Hope my answer was helpful for you. I am happy to help any time. Further clarifications and consultations on Chat Doctor are welcome. If you do not have any clarifications, you can close the discussion and rate the answer. Wish your kid good health.

Hi... Thank you for consulting in Chat Doctor. Fever of few days without any localizing signs could as well a viral illness. Usually rather than fever, what is more important is the activity of the child, in between 2 fever episodes on the same day. If the kid is active and playing around when there is no fever, it is probably viral illness and it doesn't require antibiotics at all. Once viral fever comes it will there for 4-7 days. So do not worry about duration if the kid is active. Paracetamol can be given in the dose of 15Β mg/kg/dose (maximum ceiling dose of 500Β mg) every 4-6th hourly that too only if fever is more than 100F. I suggest not using combination medicines for fever, especially with Paracetamol. Cough and cold are viral 95% of the times in child Chat Doctor. For cold, you can use anti-allergics like cetirizine and for nose block, saline nasal decongestants will do. Paracetamol can be given in the dose of 15Β mg/kg/dose (max ceiling dose 500Β mg) every 4-6th hourly, that too only if fever is more than 100F. I suggest not using combination medicines for fever, especially with Paracetamol. For cold, you can use Cetirizine at 0.25Β mg/kg/dose every 12 hourly for 3 days. For nasal block, plain saline nasal

Ive had a sore throat for about a month. Ive been to the campus doctor twice. The first time I was prescribed amoxicillin for strep, but it didnt work. So I went back again, and they told me I had some kind of viral infection. I have a sore throat, fever (for the first week), headaches, shortness of breath, cough, tongue pain, tiredness, and a lesser appetite. Do you know what I could have?
|
Hi Dear, Welcome to Chat Doctor. Understanding your concern. As per your query you have fever and sore throat since about a month which could be due to viral/ bacterial infection of body. I would suggest you nothing to worry about it. You have to booster your immunity by taking multivitamins and diet rich in vitamin A. You should take NSAID medication along with antibiotic such as Levofloxacin. You should take plenty of fluids. Avoid taking any sharp and oily food substances. You should take soft and bland food. You should take fresh juices in diet. Try to divide your meals in small fractions rather than having bulk at a time. Visit general physician once and get it examined. Go for blood tests as well. Start treatment after proper diagnosis. Hope your concern has been resolved. Get Well Soon. Best Wishes,

hi. since i lost my jobi have been awakning the past month or so during the nyt because i have been doing alot of sweating during the nyt so i have to get up to change my t shirt. but the last 2-3 days i have had the flu and it has become worse.( every hr or so) i am also remembering my dreams alot more and they arnt right aswell. really weird and sometimes scary. what do you think might be causing it? thanks.
|
Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor. Thanks for your query. Unpleasant Chat Doctor. You seem to be going through a stressful period currently, due to the loss of your job. So, it is quite possible that your sleep problems are being caused due to your stress. The night sweats can also be a manifestation of nighttime anxiety / panic attacks. However, there are also a few medical conditions which can result in frequent night sweats like hypoglycemia, certain infections, hormonal imbalances (such as in menopause), etc. The recent worsening of this sweating could also be due to the flu and the associated fever and chills. So, I would suggest that you try stress management and relaxation techniques in order to tackle your stress. If you are feeling overwhelmed by your stress and the related symptoms, then you need to seek professional help from a psychiatrist. There are effective treatment options available - in the form of medication or counselling / psychotherapy which will help him overcome your stress-related problems. Wish you all the best.

Hi I had a piercing pain in the left side of my chest. Like a needle piercing my heart. I went all light headed and needed to sit down. I then experienced a hot flush where i actually had sweat beads on my forehead. I have had an ECG, all clear plus a heart scan and that was clear
|
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. No need to worry about heart diseases because your ECG and heart scan reports are normal. Sometimes, stress and anxiety can also cause similar kind of symptoms. So better to consult psychiatrist and get done counselling sessions. Try to identify stressor in your life and start working on its solution. You may need anxiolytic Chat Doctor. Don't worry, you will be alright. Avoid stress and tension, be relaxed and calm. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.

I was sleeping and I felt this warm feeling on my back an like someone may have been there then I started convulsing (upper body) felt the same feeling again and got really scared. It woke me out of my sleep and no one was there when I looked behind me.Then I went back to sleep for a little bit. Afterwards/Additional details: Felt very sleepy (more than normal) My body was sore (upper body and legs) Headache Lightheaded Convulsing lasted less than 30 seconds Almost fell off of my bed Sleeping on my side (left) No meds that day I was sleep deprived and get little sleep in general I become tense during sleep and I know this because sometimes I get painful leg cramps that wake me
|
Hello ! I read carefully your question and understand your concern. I think that the symptoms you describe may have been a seizure, a complex partial seizure, but they may also be caused by sleep disorders. As you refer you have painful leg cramps during the nights, which can be restless leg syn Chat Doctor. Seizures may be caused by sleep deprivation. I would recommend you to consult with the neurologist, have a good neurological examination, a full blood work and an EEG for the possibility of seizures. Another examination that I would recommend is a polysomnography, which is very helpful in the diagnosis of sleep disorders. A brain CT scan may be needed in case of an abnormal EEG or neurological examination. Hope to have been of help! Greetings!

HI My daughter is 9 years old- former 25 week preemie- very complicated med history. short of it she has had 37 surgeries and has 2 TBI. She has PTSD due to early med trauma and is scared out of her mind of medical facilities. On Sunday she started running a fever 103-103.7 even with ibprofrin I could only get it down to 102. She would vomit every time she would sit up, couldn t walk and complained that her head hurt, she also had a bladder accident and said she didn t even know she needed to go. I took her in on Monday- strept and urine fine; and Doc thought possibly viral meningitis. sent us home told me to keep fever under control- call if it got worse or if confusion ect took place or a rash. That night her fever was only brough to 102 with ibprofrin and cold wash cloths, cool bath. 2 am fever broke she was fine. Tuesday she played all was well. today she woke up with a headache, difficult walking, some confusion fever started about 11 a.m.- I gave her ibprofrin again but by 12:15 she was up to 103. Called doc he said take her to ER. I did. They gave her ibprofrin at 3- fever started to subside and she was walking fine ect. She seemed good- they did blood panel and urine- all normal. sent us home. gave her more ibprofrin an hour ago, more water, fever is at 102 but she just had another accident while awake. My daughter is mostly lethargic but wakes and talks every now and again. She has a sleep disorder so for her to sleep is very rare without her meds. She also is cognitively delayed so it is difficult to determine how much confusion is abnormal. My concern is can there be a neurological issue causing this fever? I don t understand how her blood work is normal with a fever that is acting like this and for so many days.

Thanks for consulting in Healthcare. I want to tell you that often we observe headache and fever when patient has herpes infection, that's why I propose to your daughter antiviral medicine-acyclovir 400 mg 1 tab 2 times 5 days. Keep to HY Chat Doctor. In addition, for increasing her bonus and immunity give to her multivitamin- zirconia syrup 1 teaspoon 1 time 1 month, vitamin C 500 mg 1 tab 1 time 5Β days, Tulsa juice 1 teaspoon 2 times 1 month. You can check her for viruses-IgM, G to herpes 6type,cytomegalovirus and Epshtein-Barr. Blood test is normal, because immunity is not good, it is not well when we don't have reaction to infectionRecovery soon

Should I be pressing a tooth six days after a root canal, and it still hurts. Also, when I move the side of my cheek to talk or place my tongue over the tooth, it can cause the tooth to throb or the ones nearest it. I have a temporary flilling until I can get it capped. When should I get relief from the throbbing?
|
Dear user, Thanks for using Chat Doctor, I understand your concern, pain after root canal some causes may be like-some infection(pulp) remain in canal or root canal filling material(gutta-percha points)can be longer than root canal. So you need to one IOWA(x-ray) of that tooth to get the region of this. You should also take some antibiotics and painkiller. I think you should visit your dentist for checkup, I wish get well soon. Thanks,

Hi me and my girl friend were fooling around and the tip of my penis was rubbing against her vagina. Now i dont know if i had pre cum sliding out but if there was any could it be possible if she could get pregnant? We were grinding a bit so the head slid back and forth but no penetration.
|
Hallow Dear, Pre-cum (ejaculatory secretion) does contain some amount of sperms. These sperms are very active and swim their way to the ovum for fertilization. Even if you have deposited pre-cum at the opening of vagina, there is chance of pregnancy to her. If you do not want this pregnancy, please advice her to take Plan B birth control pill within 24 hours, but definitely not later than 72 hours to avoid pregnancy. Alternatively, she can get intrauterine contraceptive device inserted which will prevent pregnancy. This device then can be further continued which will give her ongoing protection against pregnancy for few years. I hope this helps you. Chat Doctor.

Gall bladder infection with or without stone. Any pathology of colon, stomach in this area can cause pains.Hence, I would advise her the following:Ask her to consult a General Surgeon asap for clinical evaluation, examination and investigations of X-ray of abdomen, ultrasonography of abdomen, tests of blood for CBC, liver and other functions as per the clinical picture. This will give her a proper diagnosis and plan for management. If all the investigations are normal, ask her to talk to her about possible Costco

I recently had a prostate exam and embarrassingly got an erection while the doc checked my testicles which I thought had a strange lump. Then when he did the rectal exam and inserted a sonar thing I ejaculated. Is this normal for a guy of 50? It is very embarassing.
|
Yes it can happen, so you have no reason to be embarrassed! When having an exam in that region, spinal nerves which your brain does not control can react and cause an erection. It doesn't mean you were aroused or anything. When you have a rectal exam, the physical pressure on the prostate causes ejaculation of semen. We see this often when we do our prostate exams. Again nothing sexual. Please rate 5 stars! I strive to provide the best answer I can to your questions!

Hi, Your non-motile sperms increased in numbers. There is also the presence of pus cells in semen. So infection is present like in the form of vasculitis or prostate infection. A course of antibiotic can be prescribed for that. Then you have to repeat your semen analysis after completing the antibiotic course. You can consult a urologist for examination. If needed urologist will suggest you further tests like ultrasonography and semen culture. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

This only happens when I masturbate at night and the itch doesn t last very long. I don t have any other discharge or a burning sensation when I pee. What could it be?

HiT hank you for asking Chat Doctor. I have gone through your query. Your problem is most likely due to fungal infection or irritation. In such case I advise ointments witChatDoctorbination of antifungal like fluconazole or terminating with corticosteroid quinolone. You should also avoid soaps for cleaning penis as it may irritate more. You can use warm water or saline for that. Hope this may help you. Let me know if you have any further queries.

I have some sort of nerve pain in my right arm. It hurts the most when its touched especially when touched softly. I also have lower back pain around the kidney area. Both paincould be described and lightning pain. But, these are not always felt. All my life Ive menstruated every 2 or 3 months. Never on time. I am 20 years old.
|
Hi, The location and movement of pain give clues as to what is going on. And sensitivity to touch, lightning-like feeling are indications of a nerve being the cause. This can be from sick nerves or injured nerves and if it is one then it is usually a local injury. The elbow has a prominence that the nerve gets hit between it and most everything else (funny bone). There can be arm pain from a problem beginning in the neck. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

lump that can be felt on right side of sons jaw line and he says his gum hurts and ive notice him keeping his fingers in his mouth(he is 7 years old) went to dentist about 5 months ago and they said he hadnt gotten bottom back mohlers yet. any answers
|
Hi. Thanks for the query. As per your complaint lumps under the jawline on the right side of your son can be swollen lymph nodes also known as LYMPHADENOPATHY, and it is commonly due to infections in the nearby and distant regions of the body. You should consult a Pediatric dentist and get evaluated for: Any prevailing or recurring infections on facial structures like ear, throat, nose, teeth, salivary glands, teeth and gums etc. or at times infections of distant body parts may cause secondary infection and swelling in distant lymph nodes. Inflamed gum flap over the wisdom tooth that has not yet erupted. After thorough examination and investigations the correct diagnosis and treatment can be done. In case of infections and inflammation antibiotics like Augmenting or Amoxicillin and anti-inflammatory medicines like Ibuprofen can be taken. In case if there is some doubt still left Biopsy of lymph nodes can be done. Hope this helps. Regards

|
Cellophane You for contacting Chat Doctor. These symptoms are due to allergic response from the insect bite or weed plant. I would suggest you following :> Take levocetirizine one at night for allergy> Try to avoid touching the plant.> Avoid touching the bitten area with dirty hands.> take a piece of cloth, warm over flame and then place over swelled area. IT will give soothing effect.> take acetaminophen for pain (if occurs)Report to hospital if:> Condition remain same after 2-3 days> Any unusual symptom appears> Condition deteriorates.> There is difficulty in breathing. Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow-up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. Wishing you good health.

Hi I have a 1 month old daughter & she was diagnosed with reflux since day4. She was put on meds at 2 weeks and I have decided I want to stop her meds b/c she is still throwing up while on them so whats the use. She is a happy baby not fussy not colicy but she saounds like she is having difficulty breathing all the time is this the reflux? It reminds me of while I have a panick attack. She is breastfead & sometimes she sounds like she is choking while nursing. I am worried its something else going on sound I get a 2nd opinion?
|
Hello, Thank you for your query. Yes please get a second opinion. I believe that the parents instincts are always right.*What tests did they do to confirm reflux?* does she turn blue while nursing?* what color is her vomit? When does she throw up after feeds, how long after? Is it a forceful kind of vomiting? Based on her symptoms, I would like to rule out pyloric stenosis & tracheoesophageal fistula. This is an abnormal connection between her food pipe and wind pipe. It could just be reflux, but it is better to confirm with proper imaging and tests. I recommend-please get a pediatric surgeons and gastroenterologist opinion.- a series if x-rays after swallowing a special contrast dye.- an endoscopy if required.- blood tests (complete blood count, electrolyte levels)Hope she recovers soon, please let me know if there is anything else I can help you with.

I am experiencing loss of breath and tend to panic because of it. Have been sneezing a lot. No cold or flu. Have been checked for diabetes, lung xray ok, thyroid ok, blood pressure slightly up but on medication for this, on medication for anxiety, stressful job but has been for over 20 years, cholesterol slightly up, go to chiropractor for bad back, fatigue. Due to have tests for lung capacity eg possible asthma. On list for check of heart but have a history of heart disease.
|
Hello dear, thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your situation and problem. Anxiety and panic disorder appear more in your case due to stressful life. But better to get done PFT (pulmonary function test) to rule out asthma. Also get done ECG to rule out cardiac cause. If both are normal then no need to worry much. You are having anxiety and panic disorder mostly. So better to consult psychiatrist and get done counselling sessions. Try to identify stressor in your life and start working on its solution. You may need anxiolytic Chat Doctor. Avoid stress and tension. Be relax and calm.Don't worry, you will be alright.

Hi doc, I am a 53 year old Kenyan. I underwent a lower back surgery last year end of November to correct spondolysis and spondolthes. Excuse my spellings. Titanium implants was used to fix the problem. the back pains have disappeared but my right leg and feet started to feel numb and have been experiencing excruciating pains especially at night. I am a diabetic but with good sugar controls though the doctor thought this could be responsible. the pains dont seem to abet even after taking lots of neiropathy drugs. what exactly could be happening with me?
|
Good Morning, Sorry to hear about the pain you are suffering from. The bones of the back/ spine, are adjacent to the Lumbar Plexus of Nerves. When you have a Prolapsed Disc or spondylolisthesis that has been diagnosed and treated, it is a common complication to have compression symptoms of these nerves, that lead to numbness / Chat Doctor. If symptoms are tolerable and occur once or twice in a week, I would recommend you to undergo physiotherapy with Lumbar Traction and IT and take an oral dose of it. B12,(which I am sure you are already taking;Methylcobalamine). The symptoms will relieve slowly. On the other hand if the numbness and pain are severe and not tolerable, you may require a surgery to decompress the nerve. Kindly consult a neurosurgeon for the same. Hope you pain starts decreasing soon. Good luck mate !

Hi I have suffered with asthma since I was a child I m now 23 and my asthma is still bad I ve been to the asthma clinics regularly and they have told me it isn t as well controlled as it should be. I have asthma attacks now and again and would find it really helpful to have a nebuliser at home. Can a gp prescribe this ?
|
Hello. Thank you for asking at Chat Doctor. I went through your history and can understand your concern. I would like to make suggestions for you as follows:1. Personally I do not suggest any of my adult patients to have a nebulizer at home. There are many reasons. a. Fist of all, there are many good inhaler portable devices are available (Metered dose inhalers, rottweilers, etc.) which are very efficient, convenient and as good (sometimes even better) as nebulizer.b. Nebulizer has problems with maintenance, also requires electricity, also chance of cross-infections. In my opinion, nebulizers are good for young child Chat Doctor. 2. Were I treating you, I would suggest you regular montelukast and controller type of inhalers like inhaled corticosteroids for at least 3 months.3. I would also suggest you allergy testing which will help you identify the substances that you may be allergic to and to know the measures to avoid them. Based on allergy testing, an Allergist-Immunologist may prescribe you allergen specific immunotherapy which slowly improves your immune system to improve allergy symptoms.4. In general, I would suggest you to avoid exposure to dusts, smokes and air pollution.5. Personally I would suggest you daily breathing exercises, Yoga & Panama which gradually improves immunity and lung capacity.6. I would also suggest you a healthy diet rich in vitamins & minerals (adequate amounts of green leafy vegetables, fruits, sprouts, etc.) which are very important for overall health and immunity. (Allergies & asthma are basically immunity related disorders). Hope above suggestions will be helpful to you. Should you have any further query, please feel free to ask at Chat Doctor. Wish you the best of the health. Thank you & Regards.

I ve been experiencing right hip pain for the past two years. I recently just had a MRI done. My orthopedic surgeon said that there was fraying of the labrum, but he said that there isn t anything he can do to help me with it. Should I ask for a second opinion?
|
Hello, The surgeon is right. We cannot surgically correct the labrum. In fact, the role of the labrum is to stabilize the hip joint within the socket of the pelvic bone. So for now doing exercises to stabilize the hip joint via the muscle strengthening will be of the choice to look for. In most cases of my clinical practice of over 12 years, most of such cases have responded well to exercise which are mainly designed of stabilizing the hip joint. Hope I have answered your query.

Hello, I have been struggling with psoriasis since around 09 and over the last few weeks have developed lots of joint pain in hands, feet, elbows, shoulders,wrists,back,and knees. I ve been seeing a Dr. since January of this year about the skin and had a visit again today. I ve had labs done 3 times now and recieved like a naproxon shot today, but already struggling again with aching. I ve been reading about psoriasis and psoratic arthritis, and have had some chest pain when taking a deep breaths neglected to tell my Dr. today. Should I notify him right away, or wait until next visit? Also how much can be learned from so many labs? Will the X-ray s taken of my hands, feet, and knees show any indication of this arthritis?
|
Hello, With such presentations, I would first advice to have an ECG done to rule out any cardiac involvement. Once I am sure that this is Psoriasis arthritis and is not a life-threatening one then I would suggest the following Ayurvedic medicines. 1. Mahamanjishtadi Ashram 3 teaspoon with three teaspoons of water thrice a day before food. 2. Kishore Juggle - 2 tablets (chewed) thrice a day with the Ashram (Item 1) before food. 3. Siddhartha Sana Churn - made into a paste by mixing it with water and applied all over the body before bath. The same powder is to be mixed with gram flour at the ratio 1:2 teaspoon and used for bathing instead of soap. If it is not relieved then I would recommend Classical Vacant and Air China treatment (Panchakarma) and then continue the above medicine. As this involves specialized treatment and monitoring I suggest you meet an Ayurvedic specialist and discuss the condition. Please let me know if you have any further doubts before you meet the doctor. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care

I still feel symptoms of pregnancy. I took a HPT 2 days ago but its neg. Is there a chance that I can be pregnant?
|
Hallow Dear, The very fact you had menses after the sexual relations indicates that you are mostly not pregnant. Moreover, you urine pregnancy tests performed twice are also negative. So it is unlikely that you are pregnant. First day of the menses were heavy, hence the remaining days were with light bleeding. Nothing to worry about it. Please forget about pregnancy due to this sexual relation and try again a fresh for pregnancy. Wish you the best of luck.

Hi, Dear,Thanks for your query to Chat Doctor virtual Clinic. I studied your query in all the details put forth by you. I understood your health concerns. Cause of the health problems you queried-There are many causes of the lumps on your left of your jaw besides nerve. Hope the data in your query is confusing and needs more clarification on the exact site and location-as it could be-- pre-auricular node around the facial nerve near the Tagus of your ear, ----and / or it could be node in the left neck besides the jaw. And each of these locations would indicate-Either a lump with Lymph node due to infection post-parotitis post parotid duct stone/ or from Pleomorphic Parotid Adenoid with nodal spread, or could be Lymphoma of the lymph nodes due to NHL(pre-auricular) or HL(Neck). To rule out other causes, I would advise you to consult ER ENT and ER Surgeon, who would examine it and treat it accordingly. Still with my expertise and experience and with the given data in query, I would suggest you to rule out following causes with your ER OrthoSurgeon. Cause in your case-As the lump is opined by your ENT Surgeon as not to be intervened now, seems that he wants to observe and treat it withe antibiotics and anti-inflammatory Chat Doctor.

Hello, I understand your concern and would explain that high blood pressure could be related to the Althea pills. Anyway, I recommend performing some other tests to exclude other possible causes (complete blood count, PCR, ESR, kidney and liver function tests, blood electrolytes, thyroid hormone levels). Starting antihypertensive therapy may be needed as long as your blood pressure values remain above the normal ranges. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Hi, Your weight loss seems to be related to the underlying stress that you mentioned. Once that is treated, your weight will recover spontaneously. You should consult a psychiatrist for complete evaluation and initiating treatment. Anti-depressants like sertraline will help to overcome your stress. Alternatively mirtazapine can be used as anti-depressant which has one of the effects of weight gain. You should also start exercising daily. It will help you relax and feel better and also help in improving your physical health. I do hope that I was able to answer your query. Best wishes.

I am a 45 year old women in good health..But lately I feel like I am wearing my heart out. I feel a pressure on my chest when I sleep on my back. I feel like I have to a take deeper breaths to get good air. My heart beat seems very strong and forceful like It is straining. I have no other symptoms. I have been to the doctor and they are doing tests... Thyroid, allergies and a halter monitor for my heart soon. When ever I have gone to the doctors, they always see a normal blood pressure, EKG and blood work for me. Will they be able to detect a week valve or heart disease with any of these tests? I am anxious of the process to weed things out. I dont know what to do for myself because I think it is something serious with no time to waste.
|
Hello, the symptoms you are trying to explain are called orthopnea and paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnea in medical terms, as age progresses sometimes the valves in our heart withers away, so the blood which has to be pushed forwards moves backwards also, while it regurgitates back it flows back to lung ....as the space in the lungs which was meant for air is filled up by fluid which is regurgitating back from lung ...there is shortage of air available...so you feel breathless would suggest you to go ford echo tread mill test and pulmonary function test for ite kg can be normal 2 d echo is a specific test to see any valve leakage or any motion abnormality of heart walls

I am 44 6 ft 5 and 260 lbs real good shape except a little over weight. never had any real medical issues exceot a fall which I cracked my tailbone and hurt my groin area about 2 years ago. I have been with the same woman faithfully for the last 10 years and am concerned because I have a mucus discharge from my penis when I have a bowel movement. This happens 3-4 times a week . It is not painful but just a strand of mucus. could it be an effect of my groin and ball injury
|
Dear service user, Thank you for writing to Chat Doctor. I understand your concern regarding mucus discharge while passing stool. This is absolutely normal, and it is not caused by your past groin injury. This is a fluid of sex organs and tiny glands in the way of urine tube come out from penis. This is not semen. The smell of the fluid and consistency may be like semen. This is not a disease and no need to seek medical treatment. Relax and don't worry about it. I suggest reading That Syn Chat Doctor.

|
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your husbands situation and problem. One should not start radiotherapy only on the basis of CT scan report. You need to have diagnosis of malignancy before starting radiotherapy. Since he is smoker, possibility of malignancy is high for this nodule. But we need to have tissue diagnosis first. Biopsy is not the only tool to detect malignancy. Rather for detection of early malignant lung nodule, go for bronchoscopy and BAD (bronchoalveolar lavage) analysis to detect malignant cells. You can go for PET scan also. So first diagnose malignancy and then start radiotherapy. Ask him to quit smoking as soon as possible.

Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. In my opinion, we should rule out lung infection and bronchitis first.

So better not to take give haphazard Chat Doctor. Consult pulmonologist and get done 1. Clinical examination of respiratory system 2. Chest x-ray to rule out lung infection 3.

Hi, you are on the treatment for infertility. You said your follicle not ruptured after Chat Doctor. It is LUF. Mutinied unruptured follicle. Need regular followup with treatment, for that meet good infertility specialist. You have one blocked tube, that means your conception chances are reduced to 50% every time u try, because every month one dominant follicle will come from one side, and if it is on right side then no chance of conception. All the best.

Hi, after over a month of feeling like I had the worst cold of my lifetime, I finally went to a doctor.

On Nov. 25, 2012, I had my gallbladder taken out due to the presence of multiple stones. Two weeks before, i had the mrcp and the results confirm that there is no stone in the bile duct. The day after surgery, I was informed by the surgeon of NYU that the xray taken during the surgery shows a shaded surgery which could mean the presence of a stone in the bile duct or it could just be the imperfection of the xray. To confirm, I need to have another mri which i did last Friday, Jan. 31st. The surgeon informed me yesterday that indeed i have a 7mm stone in the bile duct and suggested that i should have the stone taken out before i travel on February 18th. If I have the stone taken when i come back to NY on March 31st, what would be the consequence?
|
Hello! Thanks for putting your query in Chat Doctor. I am a Gastroenterologist (DM). Presence of stone in bile duct should be treated as an emergency. As it may cause obstruction to the bile duct leading to fever, jaundice, and abdominal pain. It may also obstruct pancreatic duct leading to pancreatitis which can be serious also. SO get it removed as soon as possible hope I have answered your query and this will help you. If you have any further query I will be happy to answer that too. Remain in touch and get-well soon.

Hello! Thank you for asking on Chat Doctor! You should know that these changes in the brain MRI are since birth. They do not need any special treatment. In case of seizures, he should be treated with antiepileptic Chat Doctor. Later, surgery may be discussed with a neurosurgeon in case of persistent epilepsy seizures. Otherwise, there is no need for any special treatment. Hope to have been helpful! Best wishes,

Hi Doc, I am 37 y.o. and on 1st cylce of Clomid/Duphaston- my Gynae advised to take clomid on D3-7 an Duphaston on D11-25, and have to take this meds for 3-6 months until i get pregnant. is it ok? but now I am out of the country for a few months and has no contact with my Gynae at all, shall I continue or not? please advice!

Hi, I think you can try thes4 medicines. Closed is given to increase the growth of your follicles and phaeton helps in supporting the implantation. But it would have been better if you track your follicles' growth by repeated ultrasound and when your follicles is more than 17 to 18 mm, take injection for rupturing the follicles. Be in contact with your husband for 2 to 3 days after injection. It will increase chances of your pregnancy. Hope I have answered your question. Regards Chat Doctor.

Hi Dr., I am father of patient (10 yrs old baby), she has swelling on right leg and we treating this for last 2-3 years with different doctors and done approximately all tests related to this, but still her leg has swelling same as before. Now we would like to consult a General Surgeon, preferable in palakkad. Pls advise
|
Hello, I have studied your case. I think it can be a lymphedema or a collection of fluid in the leg. This can be present since birth, or it can develop later on. So I would recommend you to meet general surgeon as soon as possible and do needful. It is a difficult issue to tackle and may need surgery. I hope this answer will be useful for you. Let me know if there is any other followup questions. Thanks

I have notice a small nodule or lump at the base of my hairline close to my left ear. It started very small in 2009 and the last month is enlarging and starting to protrude. It feels hard and hurts when I push down hard on it. I find it very anoying and I am worried it could be a lymp node with cancer. I get migraines and my estacine tube drains causing more sinus type migrain headaches. What should I do and what is this?
|
Hi. Thanks for your query and an elucidated history. One thing is for sure. No lymph node in this position ever shown to be cancer. So first forget about cancer. It is not due to cancer. Let us see them what it can be. As you say this all started in 2009 - enlarging since last one month; this can be a sebaceous cyst or a lipoma or a lymph node too. You can test this by FNAC = fine needle aspiration cytology. And... It is better to get this removed (excised) for 2 reasons.1> your get rid of the disease and 2> you get the histopathological diagnosis-makes you tension-free that it is not a cancer. Well - another misconception- Eustachian tube blockage will cause problem of the ears only. Sinusitis can be a reason for this and the headache. The best way to get a proper diagnosis is consulted an ENT Surgeon who would do a proper history, clinical examination, investigations as per these findings alone can lead to a proper diagnosis. This is most important to lead to a proper management/ treatment.

are you here? I need some help I had an inquinal open hernia 7 months ago. This hernia was repaired total three times over the period of 10 years. When I masterbate or have sex it burns in the stiched area. There is no bulge in there. I have been seen by a doctor she said there is no hernia. My sergeon said it s a scar pain. I am worried it s been 7 months and the burning did not go away. Thruout the day I feel discomfort in there but I am worried about the burning sensation
|
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. Yes, it is probably a scar pain. Its unfortunate that you have landed up with such a problem. It occurs cause during sex there is an increased abdominal pressure and this increased pressure can lead to stretch on the earlier sutured area. You may take paracetamol for the mild pains. You may also take carbamazepine or amitriptyline for modifying the pain. 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/ Chat Doctor.

I am on birth control and took one more active pill than I was suppose to last month, hoping to delay my period by a day. But my period never came. My next period is expected next week. I ve been really nauseated, exhausted, cramping, spotted yesterday a little, been running a fever, and can only eat things that I am craving. Is this due to messing up my schedule or could I be pregnant?
|
Hi, Chat Doctor. I Think I have understood your concern. If you had regularly consumed the birth control pills and added only one more pill, you were totally protected in that. Cycle. If you have not started your periods within ten days of stopping the pills and your most of the symptoms ate that of early pregnancy. I will suggest you to get mornings first sample of urine tested for pregnancy. If it is negative then you can wait for menses to come. But Please observe another contraceptive method like Condom. Even if it is positive, you can opt for termination of pregnancy with medicine safely till 9 weeks of pregnancy. I hope this answer helps you. Thanks

Ive been on neotigason 2 daily capsules 25 mg for 6 months as a treatment for psoriasis. I came off them actually couple of weeks ago because my doctor prescribed antibiotics for a toe nail infection. In the meantime my psoriasis has returned. Can I re-continue taking neotigason. I have periodical blood tests whose results up to now have been ok to continue with the treatment over the past 6 months. Im 67 years old and I take high blood pressure pills which control the pressure at 120/ 80 usually.
|
Hi, As you said, you suffer from psoriasis vulgarism. You must be aware about psoriasis that it is a controllable disease and there is no complete cure. So, some factors like stress, disease anywhere in body, trauma, Chat Doctor. .etc. might precipitate the disease. In your case, it has relapsed. Do not worry. You just restart the medicines you were taking...neotigasone 25 mg twice a day. After control of disease, you may reduce the dose to 25 mg per day. And also apply steroid with salicylic acid point on the lesions. I hope you got my answer. Thanks.

I have a congenital bicuspid aortic valve.Is coconut oil good for it?I also take flaxseed oil and is there anything that can help it and save myself from surgery later on. May I add that the regurgitation is minimal and I am 64years young and walk briskly every day for an hour.(female)
|
No medication has yet proven role in slowing the progression of stenosis of BAV. There are individual studies which said Statin group of medication and omega 3 fatty acid (flaxseed, cod fish oil) may help. However, at 64 years of age if there is no stenosis, I don't foresee any progression soon. Minimal regurgitation is inconsequential. Coconut oil doesn't help rather it may increase your bad cholesterol and would be harmful in long run. Regards

Hello there, sorry to hear you are through such distress. But PUPPY is a self limiting condition, meaning it's not harmful And will resolve by itself in four to seven weeks time. However, as your doctor rightly said Allegra, evil and other Chat Doctor. It's fine to use local application of high potency steroids to get some relief. They are safer than oral steroids and when used for short periods of time will not cause much harm to the baby. Meanwhile, you can keep applying emollients that can hold moisture and help a bit. You may need repeated applications. Wet soaks give symptomatic relief. Use loose cotton garments to keep yourself comfortable. Hope this helps a bit. Take care.

Hi, My name is Sanjana, age 28 years, height 5 5, weight-65 kg. I got married in November 2013. Due to some unavoidable circumstances i had to go through abortion (pill) in March 2014. In July 2014 I was facing severe pain in my right breast and on 1st of july I visited doctor and she diagnosed it as a lump in my breast. The doctor asked me to have two medicines (1). Codesoft EPO (Evening Primrose Oil Capsules 1000 mg) (2). Novex (Ormeloxifen Hydrochloride) My last MC was on 14th of June. Till today i.e 15th July i didnt get my next MC so today I visited Doctor again. Doctor told me that since Noves is a contraceptive pill, this may happen. Then i realized that i started to take it from 1st of July and my last MC was from 14th of June. Meanwhile I might have got pregnant.The doctor had my pregnancy test and it was positive. She asked me to avoid to take above mentioned medicines and given others instead, saying it wont have affected pregnancy/ baby anyways. NOW OUR CONCERN IS THAT CAN WE GO WITH THE BABY, AS THE PREGNANCY HAD TO BE AVOIDED WHILE CONSUMING ABOVE MENTIONED TWO MEDICINES. KINDLY ADVISE.
|
Hi, Most causes of pain in the breast are benign and not serious. There are a number of harmless causes for breast pain and tenderness that may primarily be related to changes in hormone levels. These can include Menstruation and premenstrual syn Chat Doctor. Fibrotic breasts are not necessarily linked to cancer, and the lumps are fluid-filled cysts rather than a mass of cells. However, it is advisable to do breast ultrasound and mammography just to be sure and start regular follow up of possible cysts. In case of redness, fever, and progressive pain this may indicate abscess, and then it should be surgically

Hi, Dear , thanks for the query to Chat Doctor. I studied your query in-depth. In my opinion -diagnosis is-Lipomatosis ? Spider bite popular lumpy-rash ? Or bed-bug bite popular lumpy rash. Consult your ER doctor who would take care of it with proper medicines -like -Tb NSAID, Tb cetirizine, or if lipomatosis-being benign one should neglect-if worrysome-excision biopsy is done. Hope This would resolve your query. Well come again for any more query.

Hi there was an operation of my aunt i.e laprascopic as it was diagnosed with gallstones in ultrasound .when the surgery was performed the doctor came to knew that there was accumulation of pancreatic fluids around the pancreas which was causing the pain.Around 1/2 ltr of fluid were removed and the area cleaned with saline and we were told to wait and do for an ERCP after 1 month . In the mean time we did a ct scan in one more hospital and there we came to know about that the area is now clean of pancreatic fluids,but there were small stones in the gall bladder which needed to be removed. recently there was a severe pain for which again my aunt was admitted.Please kindly suggest if theres a renowned hospital for the further checkup in Patna as am leaving in Patna and can look after my aunt.
|
Hello. As far as doing ERCP in any renowned hospital in Patna, such information can be best found in any local based hospital which is dealing with such cases. As for the removal of gallbladder with laparoscopy, this procedure is quite common these days and can be performed in any good reputed hospital. It is better that any further procedure be taken in a hospital which has various departments of surgery to deal with any further arising problems. Hope this will help. Regards.

I was diagnosed with multiple cysts, the largest is located along the posterior aspect of the left kidney. this measures 10 cm. in height and 7 cm in AP diameter. The transverse diameter of this cyst is about 8 cm. This cyst contains two septations within it. The septation located along the superior aspect of this cyst is mildly calcified. The septation along the inferior aspect of this cyst shows slight enhancement. The characteristic of this cyst are consistent with Bosniak type II F cyst. It is a minimal complex cyst. The other cysts are simple cysts, one of these measure 5.5 cm. My Primary Physician ordered Ultrasound of Kidneys and Ct urogram enhancement. I also had CT scan of my spine, 5 small bulging vertebras. Experiencing extremely severe pain. Most probable Cysts are pressing on my spine. No herniation or degeneration. Am I a good candidate for Laser Laproscopic surgery to remove these cysts?
|
Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor, You are suffering from two different problems. One is that of multiple cysts in the left kidney and the second is that of bulging intervertebral discs. The cysts in the kidney are benign lesions and require observation over a period of time. Surgery or laser treatment may not be required. The renal function tests need to be done to look for functioning of the kidney. If there is fall in the renal functions, surgical excision or laser treatment may be required. The bulging discs can be corrected by complete bed rest alone. In case the discs do not replace back after bed rest, other treatment modalities need to be done. You need to stay in touch with a nephrologist and orthopedic. Thanks and take care Chat Doctor.

This is sort of embarrassing. In late July I was on 2 different antibiotics for a tooth abscess. The 2nd one was strong, causing stomach upset. I was on these for a total of ~20 days. During the last 7 days, I started with major bowl problems. The strange part is that it actually itched when I went. It still itches. Is it possible to get a yeast infection from the antibiotics in your bottom?
|
Hi, Thank you for the question. There is nothing embarrassing in discussing a health related issue. Your history suggests that you've used antibiotics for a long period of time. This in itself alters the normal microbes that exist in our bowels and on our skin. Due to changes in these normal helpful microbes it is very much possible that harmful organisms make your body their home. You may be suffering from a fungal/yeast infection called candida which is causing the itch. I suggest you visit your physician and confirm the problem. The treatment is very simple and will give full cure.

HiT hanks for using Chat Doctor You may have attention deficit disorder. You have not mentioned your age. Maybe this problem due to poor IQ or attention deficit disorder. In your case, you need to consult a psychiatrist for proper mental evaluation and psychologist for IQ assessment.

hello doctor, my name is usman and i think so i am suffering from cystic fibrosis. i am experiencing breathing problem by birth as bronchitis. but from past year i am totally reliable on sabutamol inhalers. i am also experiencing transpaent thick cough whicChatDoctores almost every minute. i have also digestion problem.Please suggest me some good treatment.
|
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Albuterol is short-acting beta 2 agonists (SAGA). It is not for regular maintenance treatment. And this is the reason why your bronchitis is not controlled. So better to consult pulmonologist and get done clinical examination of respiratory system and PFT (Pulmonary Function Test). PFT will not only diagnose bronchitis, but it will also tell you about severity of the disease and treatment is based on severity only. You will definitely improve with long acting inhaled bronchodilators (formoterol or albuterol) and inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) (budesonide or fluticasone). Indigestion should also be treated simultaneously. So take pantoprazole and levosulperide combination on empty stomach. Don't worry, you will be alright with all these. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.

Hi Doctor, my family phscian sent me to the hospital because I was having chest pains. The emergency Dr. had me admitted due to the fact my blood pressure was 176/100,family history and he said my EKG was not prestine and was not normal. After 3 days of testing I was told not to worry about the EKG and was having coronary spasams and if the chest pain (radiating to my jaw) continues (I have only had 5 in 6 months) I will need a catherization.Should I have had it while still in the hospital? Thank You
|
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Yes, you should definitely get done coronary angiography while still in the hospital. You are having the following risk factors for heart diseases. 1. Hypertension 2. Positive family history 3. Abnormal ECG. So possibility of coronary artery disease (CAD) is more in your case. And undiagnosed CAD can lead to Sudden cardiac death. So better to rule out CAD in your case to prevent future serious complication. So request your doctor to get done coronary angiography while still you are in hospital. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
