Hi, I had foot surgery on bunion, when they put the screw in, they broke my foot on Jan 14,2014. The cast was put on wrong. The big toe is droopy and stiff.The second toe is straight up. The foot is was very swollen. Lots of pain. Do you have any suggestions on how to get the swelling down and the droopy toe back to straight?
|
Hi foot surgery for bunion alone will not cause all these symptoms. In my opinion you had surgery for Hal lux Valgus where multiple surgeries are performed to correct the deformity, hence the plaster and swelling. 2nd toe is held in place by pins till wound heals. I suggest that you take painkillers and keep the foot elevated on two pillows for 2-3 weeks. If no relief then it will be better to consult your surgeon.

I have had an endoscopy done last week. Nothing was found. I then had an ultrasound of my gall bladder and all was clear. I still have short bouts of nausea. I do have an inner ear issue with tinnitus and some minor high frequency hearing loss . Any ideas on the nausea? I currently take omeprazole daily and Gaviscon liquid on a needed basis.
|
Dear friend, welcome to ChatDoctor.it clearly is an inner ear issue. Tinnitus, hearing loss, nausea are symptoms of ? Labyrinthitis.or other lesions do you have imbalance while walking? And giddiness/ rotation feeling?I think you should be visiting a good ENT specialist who is good in middle ear and labyrinth problems. You can try labyrinthine sedatives/ antiemetic still then. Take care and keep me posted on your progress. Good luck !

HI At my last appointment with my heart specialist the doctor increased my dose of Carvidilol (Coureg) to 12.5mg twice per day in the hope that this would decrease the chances of an AFIB event, in fact he said I can eat anything now. Unfortunately over Christmas I had two or three AFIB events each of which subsided after a few hours and where my pulse fortunately never reached over 124 ppm ( at least when I checked it ). The reason for the events was probably due to over indulgence in foods that may have had higher levels of sodium chloride at the same time as drinking a lot of wine and on one occasion brandy. On a normal day my pulse is 49 to 52 in the morning and seldom gets above 65 even after some fairly heavy physical activity. It does go up to mid to high 60 s if I have two or three glasses of wine. Normally of course I am on a very low salt diet as my wife and I make almost everything from scratch ourselves without adding sodium chloride. The reason I am writing is that early March we are traveling to Australia for a month followed by a month cruising back to the US. I don t know whether I will be able to get low or no salt food on board the ship. I m wondering whether an even higher dose of coureg might be advisable during the trip to counter the unknown levels of salt I will encounter on the voyage. Thanx Keith Jones
|
Hello, Your dosage or Carvedilol is optimum and increasing it at present is not justified as you already have low borderline pulse (50) at rest and increasing the dose may bring it more low which would cause fatigue and weakness on routine activity. Mostly you would be able to tolerate normal salt in cooking. Just avoid breads, bakery products and preserved food as they have higher salt content. Avoid Bing Chat Doctor. If you have an Atrial fibrillation episode, taking a higher dose e.g. 25 mg max of carvedilol single dose, would be ok. But taking on routine basis is not a good idea. Also discuss the need for anticoagulation with your doctor on next visit. Regards

Hi doctor,I am a 28 year old male. I have had severe acid reflux and stomach bloating three times in the past 12 months. It started suddenly each time. There is no prior symptom. This is the third time and it has been going on for a month. During the first time, I treated myself with antacids (Calcium carbonate) and a two week cycle of Nexium with probiotics. When it came back for the second time, I had Pepsin and Betaine hydrochloride, probiotics for a month. It worked very well. Five months later, it came back for the third time now. I have had no acid reflux, but just bloating. I am taking Betaine HCl and Pepsin, but it is not going away. I will start to bloat right after my first bite of food. Even drinking water too fast will make it. The bloating is bad. I have severe bloating and pressure for hours after I eat. I think my stomach is not producing any acid. Could it be like that?

hi my name is Sara and my 2 yr old son use to go to bed no problem and sleep through now he screams when me or his dad leaves the bedroom and then wakes in the night and can be awake for about an hour and half. when i go into the room he gets out of bed and stands facing the wall really close and wont let us comfort him. his bedtime routine has not changed could he be waking up with nightn terrors?
|
Hello, Night terrors are frightening for a parent to witness. The child appears agitated and panicked and confused and dazed and may have his eyes open. At the beginning of the night terror, he can cry or scream. He may mumble, is often clumsy, and push a parent away. The child is unaware of what he is doing and has no memory of these events when he wakes up. He might become more upset if you attempt to calm him down. He may seem to be awake but is actually asleep. A night terror occurs within 1-2 hours after falling asleep. Duration: a few minutes to an hour. Night terrors often run in families. Can occur during naps, as well. Usually, require no treatment; however, if there is injury, violence, or serious disruption to family, then speak to his doctor. Another possibility to consider is night walking in which the child learns to need something(being rocked, fed, blanket) in order to fall asleep at bedtime. This same need can be present in order to fall back to sleep when waking during the night. When the children needs are not readily available during the night(being held, having a parent present) prolonged night walking scan occur. Here are a few tips to reduce night walking:- Make to be Chat Doctor. - Put your son to bed

I am experiencing intermittent facial (next to my nose), bilateral cheekbone and temple, front of neck and the bones around the eyes pain.It seems it might be related to ill fitting dentures that require lots of adhesive to keep them in. Could my dentures be causing all this almost unbearable pain that remains even after removing dentures?.
|
Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query. The pain in the cheekbone and temple, front of neck and the bones around the eyes could be because of the ill-fitting denture, or it can be because of the high points in the denture or any sharp borders in the denture. These causes result in abnormal forces over the facial musculature and results in pain. Consult a prosthodontist and get the denture corrected or repeat the denture. For the pain you can take analgesic with muscle relaxant(tablet flexion MR). I hope my answer will help you, take care.

Hi, I ve experienced swelling on the left side of my lower abdominal area / upper groin I noticed this about a month ago. It wasn t extremely noticeable but I felt it more so when lying down. I just started experiencing some pins and needles feeling in my left foot/ big toe area mainly when urinating but just when I just start urinating. Do you have any thoughts on what this might be? My mother seemed to think it is kidney stones.
|
Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You have pain in lower abdominal area with needle and pin like sensation. You may have some kidney stones or some other disease in kidney or urinary tract. Furthermore, you should go for urinalysis and ultrasound abdomen. 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.

my baby has recently developed a fishy smell to his breath. what could be the cause. he recently swallowed a penny. it did pass in his stool but he developed a rash afterwards. he also was taking ammoxicillin a couple of weeks ago to clear an ear infection. could these be all related?
|
Hello, I can understand your concern. Fishy odor from breath does not seem to be related to the swallowing penny incidence or course of amoxicillin 2 weeks ago. It seems that the children oral cavity is not cleaned adequately which is causing accumulation of debris, plaque and calculus around teeth and gum margins and on the tongue. I would advise you to visit a dentist for ultrasonic cleaning or scaling of the oral cavity which will remove all the debris, plaque and calculus. Make sure that the child is brushing is teeth twice in a day. Mouthwash can also be used if the child has learned spitting. I hope this information helps you. Thank you for choosing Chat Doctor. Take care. Best,

About a week ago, I experienced acid reflux while sleeping, which caused a mild wheezing in lungs for a day. Since then, for the first time, I have experienced a persistent, mostly dry cough, clearing of throat, and strange, metallic, burnt taste in the back of my throat after coughing. I used to suffer from asthma but have not had any symptoms for the past four years.

Hello. Thank you for asking at Chat Doctor. I went through your history. Were I treating you, I would suggest you 4-6 weeks treatment with a proton pump inhibitor Chat Doctor. I would also suggest you to avoid hot and spicy foods, alcohol and caffeinated beverages. If possible, a brief relaxing walk after evening meal will also help. Hope this will be helpful to you. Wish you the best of the health. Regards.

Recently I have been experiencing a dull pain in the center of my chest. I had attributed this to stress. Today I experienced it much harsher and it seems to be effecting my jaw, almost like this pain is causing an odd tingling sensation in my jaw, more specifically near the bottom of my front teeth. I was wondering if there was anything I should be concerned about.
|
HelloYour symptoms may be due to many reasons like cardiopulmonary causes, acidity,musculoskeletal causes etc. Firstly it is important to exclude angina, and it is important to know your age. You may need clinical correlation and few investigations. You may need routine hologram, random blood sugar, liver and renal function test, lipid profile, chest X-ray (PA view), upper GI endoscopy, ECHO,TMT, ultrasound of abdomen. Further investigations may be advised after evaluation. Proper treatment depend upon findings. Take Care Chat Doctor.

Just noticed spots on my 7 year olds front and back -- red spots with white top....almost looks like tiny scrapes. No fever. Some sneezing but not much. No real cold symptoms. Has complained, without vigor about earache once or twice and sore throat once. Tonsils and Adenoids have been removed.
|
Hi, I understand your concern. The red spots with white headed on your 7-year-old boy s front and back are due to skin infection. Please send a photo of the red spots to me for further evaluation and a more specific advice. Keep good local hygiene, wash with water and antibacterial soap. Apply antibiotic ointment locally (e.g. juridic acid). If no improvement, consult further with dermatologist. Wish fast recovery.

67 year old female, 5 4 175#. 3 days ago, Right shin took a hard hit from cast iron lawn sprinkler a bit higher than midway. Second hit to same area on grocery cart yesterday. Shin swelling mostly down with ice and elevAtion, however, blood pooling both sides of ankle. Swelling getting worse, feeling the pressure more. Is this something that needs to be seen, or just more ice and elevation?
|
Hi, Thanks for your query. From description, it seems to be soft tissue injury. Swelling might be due to haematomaformation(collection of blood). You need an x-ray to rule out any bony injury. I suggest you to consult an orthopaedician nearby for a detailed examination. You may get the X-ray of the area affected under his/her guidance. Beside icing and elevating it, you can take anti-inflammatory Chat Doctor. I do hope that you have found something helpful, and I will be glad to answer any further query. Take care

Hello doctor,I just want to start off by saying that I am a 24-year-old male. I have been diagnosed with IBS in the past, and for about a good seven months I have had stomach issues on and off. Nothing serious, no weight loss or any large amounts of blood in the stool. I had one CT scan the first time six months ago and my abdomen was fine. I did one about a month ago, and they found numerous pericecal enlarged lymph nodes measuring up to 12 mm that may represent mesenteric adenitis. I am afraid that this is stage 4 colon cancer. All my GI doctors think it is not necessary to do a colonoscopy, and that I am too young to have anything wrong with me and it is probably nothing. I did just find out that I had a grandfather who had a blockage in colon a very long time ago but received no cancer treatment for it. Should I consult a GI doctor? Are this grounds for concern?
|
Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor forum. See as such mesenteric lymphadenitis does not directly represent colon cancer. It is very commonly seen post infection. So what we do is that we give antibiotics for seven days and later repeat an ultrasound abdomen after one month to check for the size of lymph nodes. If size are decreasing in size we simply wait and watch. Actually, these lymph nodes if once increased in size may take weeks to months to come down to normal size. Even you do not have any symptoms of colon cancer. However, your suspected family history should make us little concern. So I would recommend you to take a Gastroenterologist consultation and simply get a stool for occult blood done. If this test comes out to be positive then you would need a colonoscopy.

may breast ultra sound showed a solid mass with blood flow to it. It is palpable but was inflammed and sore a couple weeks before the ultrasound but not any more do have need to be concerned could it just be a sebaceous cyst do they have blood flow to them.
|
Hi, Dear,Thanks for the query to Chat Doctor. I studied your problem in depth and I understood your concerns. Cause of solid lump below breast -This lump seems to be fibroadenoma with blood flow and tender sore mass due to surrounding stenosis. Possibility of sebaceous cyst is not there, as the USG showed solid tumor and not the cystic tumor. And for the sebaceous cyst blood flow would not have increased and its USG appearance would have been of Cystic swelling, and hence possibility of it being a sebaceous cyst is not there. I would suggest consultation with ER Surgeon. So don't build up wrong concepts and create more psychic complications in you which would increase risks and costs to you, but just ask a query to Chat Doctor and be comfortable to resolve your health issues. 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 son is having tightness in his chest and finding it hard to breathe. He has diaherreah and having problems creating saliva. Any position he lays in is giving him the tightness in his chest. Hes been up all night. Took him to the ER this morning and had a chest xray and it was fine. He also has no appetite. This has been going on for two days.
|
Hi thanks for asking question. Chest x-ray normal, so pneumonia like condition mostly less likely. Here it could be simple generalized viral infection as you have diarrhea also. Treat it symptomatically. Take more water. For nasal blockage decongestant can be taken. Anxiety can lead such chest muscular spasm. Avoid anxiety and stress. Sometime gastric problem might lead such chest pain. Muscle relaxant Chat Doctor. ECG also done if chest pain refer to shoulder and arm also. You will mostly will OK in few days. Wish you good health

An MRCP Scan of my wife indicates that the Gall Bladder is moderately distended. The portal venous radicles are normal. The gall bladder shows smooth walls. No evidence of GB calculi. No biliary dilation. The cystic duct is mildly projinent however no calculi. The C.B.D. appears mildly prominent measuring approximately 5 mms. No C.B.D calculi9. No intrahepatatic biliary radicles dilatation. Spleen is normal with no focal lesion. Pancreas is normal with no focal lesion. The impression is: MRCP shows: 1). Moderately distended GB with smooth walls. No cholelithiasis . No GB claculi. 2). No biliary dilatation. The C.B.D. is mildly prominent measuring 5 to 6 mms. No C.B.D. calculi. No intrahepatitic biliary radicles dilatation. 3) Pancreas is normal with no focal lesion. The pancreatic duct is normal measuring 2 to 3 mms. 4) No other abnormality in uppper abdomen. Please indicate as to what should be the course of action to be taken, be it clinical or otherwise, to ensure a good healthy life of my wife...
|
If there is no wall thickness, no periodic fluid collections, no liver abnormality, no CBD abnormality, no pancreatic pathology, moderately distended gall bladder means your wife was in empty stomach while doing MRCP. It is normal that GB is distended in fasting status. However if she does not have clinical symptoms like pain in right upper region of abdomen, no fever, no nausea and no vomiting no need to worry

I have been sick with a cold and last night when I was walking around I started feeling a pain in the top left side of my chest next to my collar bone kind of and I have this flutter feeling almost like I am going to faint off and on several times a day what would that be?
|
Hi thanks for asking question. Here you have two possibilities mainly. First along witChatDoctormon cold you might have acute bronchitis also. For that if infective antibiotic needed. It is better to Dy your complete blood examination to see for total count and neutrophil count. If it is high chances of bacterial infection and if eosinophil high chances of allergic infection. Viral infection will show high lymphocyte count. Second there is also possibilities of simple musculoskeletal pain because of excessive cough or improper sleep posture. Take simple analgesic for that. If still other symptoms develop like fever, difficult breathing then pneumonia like infection can be thought and for that x-ray can be taken. Here respiratory cause are more likely as compared to heart problem. I hope my suggestion will be helpful to you. Wish you good health.

Hi I have a nine year old daughter that had a blood test on Wednesday and the doctor call me and said she has Glandular Fever. Since then she had had very high temps arount 40 c and gets the sweats and chills through out the day and night. She gets very pale and shivers for hours unless she has some form of medication to reduce the temp. Can you tell me if this is normal for glandular fever or it sounds like there might be a baterial infection and I should go to the emerg dept.

Hellos you mentioned that your daughter is having very high temperature with chills and rigor. Glandular fever often starts with a sudden onset of FEVER, CHILLS, HEADACHE & GENERALIZED MYALGIC & ARTHRALGIAS. So high fever and chills are common symptoms of glandular fever. In my opinion at present no need of any emergency dept. Tylenol 10 mg / kg body according to necessity. Glandular fever has the following symptoms and signs. Lymphadenopathyfever, ulcer or pa pule (at the site)myalgic arthralgias, cough , pharyngitis, diarrhea . Incubation period is 2 to 10 days. There are a variety of Chat Doctor. Ciprofloxacin 10 mg /kg body weight twice in day for 10 days. Others are chloramphenicol, ceftazidime, doxycycline. So consult your primary care physician and get his opinion.

Hello, Erection in kids, especially babies are just uncontrolled reactions of a healthy nervous system and parents need not worry about them. So there is no reason for parents to believe that the erection is a result of sexual stimulation. Arianism is when your child has an erection that lasts 4 hours or longer. The erection may occur without stimulation. Your children penis may be dark red or purplish. Arianism is usually painful and can lead to permanent tissue damage. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Chat Doctor. V. Anand, Psychologist

Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor. Thanks for your query. The symptoms that you have mentioned such as chest pain, chest tightness and breathing difficulty can be seen in panic attacks. However, they can also be due a variety of other medical causes. It may not be a good idea to make conclusions without having a proper medical evaluation. So, I would suggest that you see your doctor and report your problems, so that you can have a detailed examination and evaluation in order to arrive at the correct diagnosis. Wish you all the best.

Hi thanks for asking question. These symptoms can be because of any viral infection especially any influenza flu. Do your CBC examination. Mostly it will reveal lymphocytes if viral infection. It may be swine flu also. For it, you have to contact doctor and your swab can be sent for confirmation of it. Until that if strong doubt then semi flu can be taken. Chat Doctor. If severe bronchoconstriction present then steroid can be taken for 5 days to relieve bronchial edema and congestion. Thanks.

Hello doctor,I just got married. Right after two days, my wife experienced a sharp pain on her right head to the neck, it felt like someone hammering the head. Then after 20 to 25 minutes, she slept and it stopped. Then again after 5 to 6 days, it came up again in the same frequency and same pattern just right side of the head to the neck (right side) and then again after three days, it came back. Can you please suggest something?

Hi. If she does not have any other deficits like a hand or leg weakness or giddiness or cognitive deficits, then most likely it is a migraine. It is just recent in onset. So, we can wait with medicines. Tablet Topiramate 25 mg at bedtime for 21 days, tablet Sibilium 5 mg at bedtime for 21 days. Initially, she may get more sleep, but with lightheadedness for 3 to 4 days, then her symptoms will improve gradually.

Hi Dear, Welcome to Chat Doctor. Understanding your concern. As per your query you have painful and swollen pimple on forehead which could be due to hormonal imbalance, allergic reaction, stress and clogged pores of sebaceous glands. I would suggest you to wash your forehead with Clindamycin gel. Apply cream on face rich in comic acid and benzoyl peroxide. You should wash your face 3-4 times a day and apply alicyclic acid gel. Visit dermatologist once and get it examined. Start treatment after proper prescription and Chat Doctor. Hope your concern has been resolved. Get Well Soon. Best Wishes,

You should investigate properly for the cause of low he. She may have some internal bleeding or blood loss from hidden site or may be some other cause. It's not necessary that low he always due to iron of it deficiencies. So it's not improved on iron therapy. Consult hematologist for your problem. Do complete investigation first and reach to the cause of anemia and take treatment. You will definitely get benefit. Consult hematologist.

i have a rash on the inside of my bicep and it just so happens it is over the area where i had my implanon implanted. i had it implanted 8 months ago and am just now getting the rash and it looks a lot like the pupps rash i had on my stomach when i was pregnant. i don t know if it is related but i figured i would add that in.
|
Hello.thanks for sharing your query Since it is already 8 months since the insertion was done, I won't think that the Implant should be a cause of the rashes you have. You may apply a mild topical steroid for 3-4 days to see if it improves. If you have itching, oral anti histamines may be taken. However, if your lesions persist, you must visit a dermatologist.PUPPY rash is a pregnancy related condition and resolves mostly within a week of delivery. A few women continue to experience symptoms into the postpartum period, but I think this not be related to the present symptoms. Hope this is helpful. Take care.

Hi, Anti-tuberculosis Chat Doctor. The given chest X-ray report is suggestive of tuberculosis of the lungs. Your doctor will further evaluate the condition and prescribe the standard treatment for about six to nine months depending upon the severity of the disease. In the initial phase (for first two months) isoniazid, rifampicin, ethambutol, and pyrazinamide along with vitamin pyridoxine are given daily. And this is followed by continuation phase (for remaining four to seven months) isoniazid, rifampicin along with vitamin pyridoxine are given. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

I experienced neck stingers playing college football thirty years ago and it comes back to visit with a vengeance. I know sometimes what triggers it and sometimes I don t. Very painful, just at the neck and small portion of the left shoulder. Lasts weeks, months and this episode is in the third week. I ice it, massage it, push up under the chin with little relief. Aleve is no help.

Hello, What I can infer from your complaints is that you may be suffering from cervical spondylosis. It is a condition in which the cervical spine (neck part) will wear off and cause pinching of the nerves. It, in turn, will result in tingling and numbness of the arm and hand. There are various aggravating factors like poor posture, jerky movements which can aggravate these common treatment measures are physiotherapy. I would suggest you consult your orthopedic surgeon to have a look. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

For the last few days have a pain in my right side towards the back about a handsize above my hip. Could it be liver or kidney? Had Liver function Test done, only my ALT was 78 s.b. between 0-45, I am 87 y.o. male. Years ago I was told I had a Fatty Liver??? Kindly advice. Carl.

Please consult qualified Urologist to clinical examination and get following basic tests done to confirm the diagnosis 1)Routine urine test and urine culture 2) Ultrasound scanning of the abdomen to rule out stone.In the meanwhile take broad spectrum antibiotics like Δeferin along with urinary antiseptic like Nitrofurantoin twice daily and urine alkalizer thrice daily and painkillers like Diclofenac twice day. Later on switch on to appropriate antibiotics as per culture report. Get the prescription of medicines from your family Physician. Ensure to Chat Doctor.

One month base of spine mild pain. Relieved with Aleve. Today sharp pain upon straightening up after bending over. I have Degenerative Disk Disease. I ve had pain off an on without complication for years. 69 and generally in good shape and good yearly exams.
|
Hi, thank you for providing the brief history of you. As you are having degenerative disc disease and your age is 69 it is an aging process of the pain you are getting. Since one level disc injury will transform to the other level in few cases. Also, there will be para spinal muscle spasm, and it will lead to pain and aches. In my clinical practice such cases are treated will with a combination of medication and physical therapy. They respond well, and optimum functionality is achieved. RegardsJay In Chat Doctor.

My dad was diagnosed with diverticulitis last Tuesday morning due to severe pain in the lower left side of his back and stomach cramps. He had a ct scan and they also noticed a kidney stone thats 6mm in size still in his kidney. They admitted him overnight and released him the next morning (Wednesday). He was prescribed antibiotics to cure the infection of diverticulitis. He felt fine all day Wednesday and Thursday and the pain came back on Friday morning. He went to the ER and they gave him a med injection (cant remember name) and did another ct scan whicChatDoctore back with the diverticulitis fine and stone still in kidney and prescribed him vicodin and a muscle relaxer and sent him home. He felt good enough to go to work Friday and Saturday and then Sunday morning the pain came back. He was admitted Sunday and stayed Sunday and Monday night without much answers. They then did a MRI and say that his L5 disk in his back erupted. Can that be caused by the diverticulitis? He has never had back issues before. Is it anyway possible that the stone is causing pain also even though it is in the kidney?
|
Hello there, and thanks for using this forum to pose your worry the presence of stones in the kidney can cause recurrence of his pain as the stones move down the urinary tract. However, neither the kidney stones, nor the diverticulitis is the cause of the back problem. Rather, this is what we called a slipped disc or fiscal hernia. He might require good analgesia and stabilization of his spine. Surgery is also an option. For sure, he is already treated from his diverticulitis and should now see a urologist for the definitive management of the kidney stone, then a neurosurgeon/rheumatologist for the back problem.I wish him a very steady recovery. Thanks

Hi. My 18 month old daughter has a reoccuring itchy rash that appears behind her ears, on her scalp, neck and sometimes the side of her face. It will disappear and reappear in different areas of her head. It seems worse in the evenings, however is there throughout the day. The rash is dark red and appears dry. There are a few raised bumps. About 2 week ago she had a cold/virus with a mild ear infection. She ran a fever of about 101. They treated her with antibiotics for the ear. The rash appeared about 3 days into taking the antibiotics. The doctor recommended we discontinue the antibiotics in case of allergic reaction. She has been off them since. Any ideas?

About 2 or even 3 weeks ago, I dropped something heavy directly on my foot. It was bruised for sometime but the bruise soon went away. At the moment, I feel no pain but I have a small bump on the inside of my foot, where the bruise used to be, should I be concerned?
|
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your situation and problem. In my opinion, it is callus or million of fracture. You had foot injury 3 weeks ago. And after 3 weeks, you are having bump on trauma site. So possibility of fracture at the time of trauma and healing after 3 weeks is high. In bone fracture, healing occurs by callus formation. It is collection of inflammatory cells and calcium which give rise to appearance of swelling. Another possibility is million. If fractured fragments are not fused correctly then they can give rise to swelling due to million. So better to consult orthopedic doctor and get done clinical examination and x-ray of affected foot.

Hi - I fell down some concrete steps nearly 3 weeks ago and suffered from considerable bruising, a laceration through my brow that required seven stitches and concussion. My doctor says everything is healing well but my head still feels both swollen (tight and hard on the skull) and numb (on the skin). Is it normal to still feel this way, even when the wound is healing?
|
Hello, I have studied your case. Yes such symptoms can be common, no need to worry. CT scan may detect minor bleed or in fact so if symptoms persist then you need further investigation. Neurotropic medication like methylcobalamine 1500 mcg daily will help for improving focus. Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow-up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries. Wishing you good health. Take care.

Hi there, I just had a liver US today and I was told I might have multiple hemangioma but they were unsure.Can hemangioma be mistaken for liver cancer. Also, my ggt is high and has been increasing for the last 2 years. Is there any connection between the two?Thanks
|
Hi thanks for asking question. The chances of hematoma more in following risk factors like-Smoking-Estrogen high-OC pills etc.GGT is enzyme present in bile calculi. So in bile duct injury its level elevated. In hematoma like tumor it may rise.IN obstructive jaundice also it is high. Here constant observation needed regarding your high liver enzyme. If possible and chances of bleeding less than FNAC or biopsy can be taken to confirm malignancy. Mainly hematoma creating confusion between fatty liver and liver nodules. But FNAC or biopsy will rule out malignancy if feasible. Clinical watch up is necessary. Wish you good health.

hi, my husband had a molar tooth extraction and the scab is now hanging, and is causing him to feel faint and VERY uncomfortable. We tried pulling and cutting gently but i am afraid that we may damage or cause dry socket. we dont have insurance or extra money so an extra office visit isnt an option. what can we do to help this scab come off or should it even be falling off? PLEASE HELP
|
Hello, Thank you for consulting with Chat Doctor. Actually after the extractions of tooth cotton is placed on the area for at least an hour and the socket is compressed, and if the area is large even sutures are placed to close the socket. On the second day after extraction patient is called for the follow-up to see whether every thing is fine or not and there is no extra charge for this procedure. Better if you have something like this hanging you should visit your dentist again and get it checked as nothing will be charged for this. Please do not go for any procedure on your own as it will cause any further problems. Hope it will help you.

Hello doctor,I was diagnosed with palmer erythema last year. I am 28 years old, however, I started drinking moderately from 16-20 then stayed sober for a year and a half. However started drinking again at 22 and have been more of a binge drinker consuming on average of 20-50 drinks a week over the last 5 years. I never drank everyday usually 6-10 one day during the week but would drink alot on Friday annd Saturdays. Since my PE diagnosis I have had my liver enzymes checked 3 times along with CBC and autoimmune diseases and just about every kind of blood work that could cause along with an ultrasound and everything has came back normal except my cholesterol and triglycrides were a high.Since I have gotten my triglycrides in healthy range but cholesterol is still a little high. My question is how accurate is all of this in detecting liver damage. I do not have any symptoms of disease except the red palms. And should I be concerned? Since I am now sober as I have talked to several people in the cirrohsis and and fatty liver disease community and it definitely scared the heck out of me how dangerous alcohol really is. So I am just hoping to get some advice and if there is anything else I can do to be certain? Or what is your opinion on my story? Definitely never drinking again and totally not worth the risk of developing some kind of liver disease.
|
Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor forum. Do not worry. You may have anxiety more than disease itself. For raised total cholesterol you may take low cholesterol diet with regular exercise. Quitting of alcohol may be useful. Get it done ultrasound abdomen and liver scan. Avoid alcohol intake. Use tablet Pantoprazole before breakfast for one week. Eat green leafy vegetables, do yoga and meditation. Be happy and do not worry. If cholesterol is still high, then you may take antihyperlipidemic ChatDoctor. Please consult your physician, he will examine and treat you accordingly. Take care.

Sometimes it troubles me whole night.During the whole day i.e. since I wake up in the morning through the entire day when I do all my activities at home and office I feel absolutely normal. Only little bit etching I feel during this time.But after evening when I reach home etching gets hold on my entire body gradually. What could be the reason? Will it be treated and cured?

Hello, Thank you for asking at Chat Doctor. I went through your history and would like to make suggestions for you as follows:1. Itching is not a disease, but it is a symptom of some disorder. So it is important to identify the disorder causing itching to you.2. Usually itching is caused by causes like Chat Doctor. 3. So I would like to know more about you before suggesting investigations. Detailed information about you would guide me to think about some particular condition/s. 4. If without clue, usually I suggest my patients some basic investigations like complete blood counts, random blood sugar, urine and stool examination, serum SGPT, serum proteins, etc. Sometimes they can give clue towards possible condition.5. At present, I would suggest you to take an antihistamine like cetirizine or levocetirizine for symptom relief from itching.6. For

|
Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor, Severe left side stomach pain with fever and black stool could have many causes which are acute gastritis or diverticulitis or food allergy or food poisoning. In your case it is likely because of gastritis or diverticulitis. Your should undergo routine blood investigations and serum electrolytes, liver function tests, urinalysis and stool for blood and abdominal ultrasound to detect the underlying cause. Treatment is mainly symptomatic if there is no infection. Although antibiotics like norfloxacin with tinnidazole should be given for at least 3 days small course with anti-emetics like tab.ondansetron mg twice daily. Antacids like h2 blockers (sanitizing) or proton pump inhibitors (pantoprazole or omeprazole) will help to reduce excess acid production in stomach. One can also take gene gel or liquid or ulcero-protective agents like sucralfate or bismuth subsallicylate to reduce the burning sensation. Apart from medications he should eat plain foods like boiled rice and green leafy vegetables without adding spices or oil. Avoid oily, spicy and fast food. Consult physician or gastroenterologist for detailed medical history and clinical examination to diagnose the cause. Thanks and

|
Hi, Meprate is used to regularize your cycles, it doesn't help in getting pregnant as such. It is a progesterone hormone like Chat Doctor. If you have been trying for a year and not successful, you should get thoroughly evaluated, which would include, Sperm count, hormonal levels, ultrasound pelvis, and an HSG of the tubes. Since you have irregular cycles it indicates an ovulation (difficulty in egg formation). You and your partner need to discuss all this with your gynecologist and decide further treatment. Hope this helps. Regards.

Hi and welcome to Chat Doctor. Thank you for your query. I am Chat Doctor, I understand your concerns and I will try to help you as much as I can. Usually liver enlargement may indicate some types of hepatitis or fatty liver diseases and in most cases it doesn't require any specific treatment. If this is caused by diet, obesity and diabetes then dietary and lifestyle changes will be beneficial in every case. Alcohol and viral hepatitis are the most common causes and in this case medical evaluation is required. Also, if there is infectious disease or biliary duct disorders then you need to do some tests to rule out more serious issues which require specific medical treatment. You need to check your viral markers and do liver biopsy if necessary. I hope I have answered you query. If you have any further questions you can contact us in every time. Kindly regards.

Hi there, I have understood your concern. First do not panic. It is not clear from your reports that the values are for Egg or IGM antibodies. If these values are for Egg antibodies, then you need not worry. It indicates past infection. Also, as your Toxoplasmosis values negative there is no need to take Tobramycin. Only if IGM antibodies are positive, then you need to wait for 3 Months. Repeat the tests and once IGM values are negative, you can plan to get pregnant. I will suggest you to opt for a healthy diet and regular exercise regimen. Include more portions of fruits, salads and vegetables in daily diet. Chat Doctor. Avoid deep-fried foods,bakery products and refined sugars. Use of vitamin B 12 and Folic acid supplements at least 3 months before you plan to get pregnant is advisable. This helps to prevent many problems during pregnancy and delivery. I hope this answer helps you. Thanks.

Hi and welcome to Chat Doctor. Thank you for your query. I am Chat Doctor, I understand your concerns and I will try to help you as much as I can. These symptoms and signs are suggestive of STD especially if there is associated pain, fever, urethral discharge and recent sexual intercourse. So this is the first thing to rule out by doing STD testing. Second, it may be signed of reinfection or urinary stones and some other genital infection, but this is less common. In every case, antibiotic therapy may be required, so test should be done as soon as possible so that appropriate treatment can be started. Till that try to Chat Doctor. I hope I have answered you query. If you have any further questions you can contact us in every time. Kindly regards. Wish you a good health.

Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. He is having hemoptysis (blood in sputum). Common causes for hemoptysis are lung infection, bronchitis and lung cancer. So better to take him to pulmonologist and get done clinical examination of respiratory system, chest x-ray and PFT (Pulmonary Function Test). He may need antibiotics, inhaled bronchodilators and inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) on the basis of diagnosis. Telling him to quit smoking as soon as possible if he had this habit.

When asked, the client says that he believes he will miss out on something by going to the bathroom. He wears a watch that vibrates as a reminder to go to the bathroom, but ignores it. His school and mother are on board for consistency. Can you direct me to research material addressing this problem. Kind regards, Colleen Young, M.A./Ed.S., LAC

Hi, Welcome to the ChatDoctorAs these symptoms can occur in mental disabled child and the child having bad experience in surrounding and with friends and family.First neurological problem has to be ruled out, and if he gets some back pain, he may need MRI spine to be done to rule out nerve injury S1 or sacral plexus injury. If only counseling is not helping then he may need psychotherapy and needs to get checked by psychologist for discussing further. Chat Doctor.

Hello. I read your question carefully, and I understand your concern. Although rare, they may be connected. In late stage congestive heart failures (CHF), due to heart pump failure, every organ system suffers from not enough blood delivered by the failing heart. My opinion is that it is a slight symptom, in this big picture. I recommend a diet with restricted salt and taking all the CHF medications regularly. I hope I was helpful. Good day

Kindly consult a competent dermatologist who has good experience on lasers. Hope Ive answered your query.

sure, i took my mom to a hospital on the 19th of december, they discover she had cancer through out her body, she died at home 6 days later. She had always been seen at another hospital, and had numerous scans and blood tests everything you could imagine, but failed to find cancer that had been spread through her body for 9-12 months, well, now that i have vented, could someone with chf and copd under go masectamy and chemo? and how could a hospital miss it, out of lots of cts and bone scans and xrays and mamograms ect, also how can i find a doctor to review the case for merit, the cancer doc at the other hospital said the hospital simply missed the cancer. but docs that close to another hospital probally wont stand up in court and say that
|
Hi, Many a time it is very difficult to diagnose a primary cancer. From your question it can be said that she had metastatic disease to start with but what made you think mastectomy and chemo may be a treatment option is not clear to me, anyway CHF and COPD are relative contraindications for a major surgery even these can be tried in special circumstances. As you have mentioned your mom was on regular follow up at a hospital and lots of CTs, Bone scan X-rays Ammo were done, probably her breast cancer screening was done regularly. There are many cancers which are not picked up by screening and with a very short period present with a metastatic disease. However, this is a depressing fact that your doctors failed to help you so much.

Hi doctor, I am 26 years old. Two years back, I found that I have autoimmune hepatitis. At that time they did Fibroscan, in that kPa is 14.5 (F4). Last one year I took medicines (steroids) and I stopped. Now it again came back and doctors did a biopsy, in that it is showing:Portal and lobular hepatitis with areas of confluent hepatocytic necrosis and Ishak fibro score are 0. Is it possible for my fibrosis to come from F4 to F0? How is my liver now based on that biopsy report?
|
Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor forum. In autoimmune hepatitis, it is possible to decrease the fibrosis. Or other possibility may be that, initial fibroscan was done in acute inflammatory state hence it may be falsely high. We need to compare it with the liver enzymes at that point of time. Autoimmune disease may be episodically triggered by various factors. You must continue the medication.

i am coughing up green rough phlem and my x-ray shows increased vascular brochi lines, my eosinophils is also increased slightly. my Dr told me the was nothing to stress about and he gave me some medication, symptons passed after the medication but now its back. what could this mean?

Hi thanks for asking question. Here first possibility of allergic asthma is to be rule out if associated breathlessness present with cough. Second it can be allergic acute bronchitis. Thirdly eosinophil get increased in parasitic infection also. Filaria or scars like worm can lead to hypersensitivity lung reaction.albendazole use for scars worm. Hetrazan also useful Chat Doctor. For ruling out whether it is obstructive or restrictive lung dz pulmonary function test done. So become yr condition has rec cured it should be investigated to rule out cause.Finally, green sputum can be become of pseudocodes infection that also ruled out if no other cause found by sputum culture. I hope my suggestion will you

Each night I lay down, my bed becomes a vibrating machine, beginning at my feet and traveling up my whole body to my neck (not in neck or head, but there, there is pulse rhythms I can hear in my pillow each time my heart beats).

Hello, Thanks for posting your query on Chat Doctor ...* Brief Answer: You need to check your blood pressure regularly if high, check with your physician to modify your Chat Doctor. *Explanation: My opinion is that high blood pressure on many occasions is an indication for control. That happens on many levels. First, be sure that high blood pressure is not secondary to any other diseases as Cushing or renal failure. Then, Diet with low salt and less fat content is crucial. Exercise and other healthy activities are also a mean to control blood pressure. If all that does not help, medications are a must. That is usually decided by your doctor according to your condition and comorbidities. Some

Husband woke up in middle of night- lower back pain and upper thigh , behind knee pain- it is a dull pain but severe enough to ask for drugs- he NEVER ask for painkillers. When he bends over and stretches-the pain is more behind the knees but is coming from back
|
The cause of the low back pain is not apparent from the details that you have provided, and he needs to be examined and investigated. The age of your husband the duration of onset of the pain is important, and you have not mentioned that either. If it is acute, it could have been caused due to some electrolyte imbalance (due to low potassium) where taking juicy fruits like citrus fruits is likely to help. It could also be due to lumbar spondylosis or slipped disc As of now, some muscle relaxant, analgesic and hot compress should be helpful. Please visit a doctor and get it examined and treated.

|
Hi, Chest pain could be because of bronchitis(allergic or infective), pertussis, seasonal asthma etc. You may undergo routine blood count, ESR with X-ray chest and pulmonary function test. You must consult your pulmonologist to get diagnosed first and then treatment. Asthma is itself an allergic disease due to cold or dust or pollen or grass etc. irrespective of the triggering factor. Treatment is mainly symptomatic which might require inhalation steroids, beta receptor agonists, anticholinergics as MDI or rota haler as a regular treatment. To decrease the inflammation of bronchi and bronchioles, you might be given oral antihistamines with mast cell stabilizers(montelukast) and steroids (prednisolone) with nebulization and frequently steam inhalation. The best way to cure any allergy is a complete avoidance of allergen or triggering factor. Consult your pulmonologist.

Hi, Thanks for the query. Menstrual irregularities like inter menstrual spotting, change in the length of the cycle etc. can occur due to many causes. Though some of your symptoms can be seen in pregnancy just by that pregnancy cannot be confirmed. So you once go for blood test for pregnancy which will rule out the possibility. If the test comes negative better to consult gynecologist and undergo physical examination and ultrasound to find out the cause for your problem. Take care

Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. Cavernous hematoma is the benign tumor of blood vessels. Medication will not help much. Ultimate treatment of choice is surgical excision. You should go for surgery. Consult your doctor and take treatment accordingly.

hello, I have been getting dizzy between 3 to 5 minutes in the last several days. I recently bought a blood pressure monitor and it seems that I am not feeling well and getting dizzy when my blood pressure rises above 130/90 and pulse increases to about 90-100. My blood pressure is in the normal range when I am laying down. Is there something wrong with me.
|
Hello, It's highly unlikely for this BP to cause dizziness. Other cause if dizziness should be considered in you like from ears, neck. Many times, they originate from internal ear, which is a common cause of dizziness. This occurs due to age related changes leading to abnormalities in balancing system of ear which leads to this. Do they get aggravated with head movements or associated with imbalance, hearing problem, if yes they further support the cause or even without these also? The treatment, is medicine like Vermin 16 mg up to three times a, if not responding then tab Vertigo 25 mg up to three times a day. Also, ENT specialist will teach exercises for this which can be done at home. Do you also have neck pain, tingling, burning sensation in arms, if yes they are likely originating from neck? Hope this helps you and get back if you have any doubts or if you have more information to share.

i chew tobacco about once a day for the past year. recently, the left side of my tongue doesnt really hrt but rather aches some times. Also there are several pink colored lumps (small) on the very very back of my tongue, unreachable by a toothbrush. wondering if you have any idea what this is or if it is early signs for cancer . i dont have luekoplakia or anything like that right now which is why i thought it was weird that just my tongue hurt. my wisdom teeth are on their way in aswell i do not know if that would effect anything
|
Hello and thank you for your question. If the bumps are on the top of your tongue, chances are they are to circumvallate papillae which help in taste. If they are on the sides of your tongue then chances are they are the foliate papillae. It is highly unlikely to develop oral cancer from one year of use, but does increase you chances of developing it. I would recommend discontinuing the use of chewing tobacco and use substitutes like Capitol gum. Your wisdom teeth can contribute to the pain, and you should probably be evaluated to have them taken out. See if the pain stops after discontinuing the usage of the chew. It may take two weeks for the tissue to heal post exposure to the irritant. Best wishes and good health.

Hi, for a few months I ve been gettin pain and occasionally a throbbing sensation in my upper right abdomen . On initial examination the doctor seemed quite sure that it was an aneurysm but after a scan they told me it wasn t. I still get the throbbing feeling and sometimes pain could the scan have been wrong or could it be something else?
|
Hello Victoria, Throbbing pain in the upper right side of abdomen could be due to along list of conditions. However, is your pain intermittent, do you get fever, and how's your bowels? If the doctor suspected an aneurysm-was there any pulsatile nature and a swelling? Obviosly It's hard to tell about the possibility with limited details. So I suggest you get yourself evaluated by a general surgeon the best

Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor forum. As you describe it appears to be the urinary tract infection, or a stone in the ureter, may be in the lower end. There may a cyst on the kidney. It may not have any relation with the symptoms. And the nephrologist deals with the issue. For these symptoms you can consult a urologist for diagnosis and treatment.

Hello, Im a 30 yo Caucasian female with a pea sized lump over the right side of my hyoid bone. Its been there for several years, it gets sore and difficult to swallow food at times. I can move the hyoid back and forth. I can feel it grind but the pain subsides afterwards. Feels like its rubbing and caught on cartilage. Is this something I should be concerned about? The doctor said it was fine, but no one else I know has this issue..? They tested my thyroid and TSH levels, and all came back normal. Chem profile 2 and CBC also have come back normal. No X-Rays or anything else has been done to determine what it is. It has not grown, its just irritating and its a bit concerning that no one else has it, and it wont go away.
|
Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor, A lump on the hold bone could be due to hypoglossal cyst, sinus or fistula. You need to consult a surgeon for investigations. Investigations include determining the site of lesion and its extent. An ultrasound of the lesion needs to be done. In case the lesion turns out to be hypoglossal cyst, sinus or fistula, the tract has to be removed along with removal of the hold bone. Besides hypoglossal anomalies, the lesion could be a growth or lesion arising from the cartilage or bone. Thanks and take care Chat Doctor.

My younger sister has just been diagnosed with Lymphoma and feels that she does not want to have anymore of the Cancer treatments available,bcos she had breast cancer in both breasts twenty two years ago,and has been in total remission for close on eighteen years now,so she knows the rigors of the treatments available.Is there any alternative therapies that can help her through this present condition. There are ten of us girls and all but myself has had breast cancer.We have lost 4 of my older sisters to breast cancer and the rest are all still in Remission,through self treating themselves,the same way our mother,our grand mother, aunts,and grand aunts did,back in the 1935 s up til 2002. Our mother had double breast cancer,when my baby brother was born,she was then aged 49,and he was her 24th child.I am number 19 of those 24 children.Our mother had 3 sets of triples and 2 sets of twins,of which I am of her last set of triplets. However my mother,self-treated herself too after being diagnosed,and she died at the age of 96 yrs. She lived long enough to raise her children,but also to bury 4 daughters,who told her that her methods of treating diseases had gone out with Noah s Arch,and buried 6 sons who died all serving as SAS service men, in the Armed Forces,for NZ,Australia and UK.!! My sister with the lymphoma is 62yrs old and has been caring for her husband who has been on dialysis for the past ten years now,but was diagnosed with diabeties 6 years prior to being put on dialysis.This is our plea for help for her.

Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. Your sister has lymphoma. Treatment depends on type and stage of lymphoma. Overall treatment of choice. Chemotherapy and radiotherapy. She should go for immunohistochemistry to confirm the exact type. Then she should take treatment accordingly.

My sister , age 30, got kidney failure, (doc describes as ARF). This happened after she delivered baby thru c-section. She has been struggling for more than 7 weeks and has gone thru number of dialysis till date. 1 week ago she shifted to big hospital in Calcuta. what are the chances of getting out of this. If needed I can send the respective doctor a soft copy of the latest report. Please suggest and guide.
|
Hi, Thanks for your question. Sorry to know about your sister. ARF means Acute Renal Failure. ARF following C- section may be due to-1) Blood loss or hematoma (blood clot formation).2) Hypotension (low blood pressure).3) Infection.4) Direct injury to ureter.5) Aggravation of pre-existing kidney problem. Chances of recovery from ARF depends on upon-1) Correction of underlying causes.2) Serum urea, creatinine, uric acid, calcium, phosphorus level, arterial blood gas analysis.3) Urine production per hour.4) Level of Blood pressure maintained with or without medicines.5) Signs of fluid overload. After knowing this one can comment on recovery. Over all there is definite chance of complete recovery of kidney function in most of the cases of ARF Hope this helps you. If so do vote as helpful.

I was a depo user for 17 years and have not had an injection in 2 years. I am also menopausal and a recent test of my liver functions indicated elevated liver enzymes. What do I need to do to get my liver functions back to normal? Also, how will years of depo use impact menopause?
|
Hi, It is incomplete history and no reports are attached. There are NO values mentioned. Usually ALT or AST values higher than "two times the upper normal limit", is considered abnormal (in some countries, ALT or AST values of more than 100 are considered abnormal). Value of AST or ALT greater than 85 or above maybe investigated further. Alcohol ingestion and obesity are common causes of fatty liver disease. Advice:- Abstinence from "Alcohol" - Low fat diet should be followed, avoid junk food and beverages-decreased oil consumption (oily food)- NO red meat-green vegetables should be ingested daily-use lemon juice (lemonade) once in a day-reduce weight if overweight/obese- "recheck liver enzymes after 6 to 8 weeks" and/or ultrasound Hope I answered your query.

Hi I think you should go for evaluation first. Get a thyroid profile and prolactin level and an ultrasound done to see uterus and ovaries to find out the cause of inability to conceive. You can get a HSG test done to see the tubal patency. Also get a semen analysis for your husband. If everything is fine, you can try 3 more cycles of Closed with tracking of follicles growth on ultrasound. When follicles reach a size more than 18 mm, take injection for rupture of follicles. Be in contact with your husband for next 2 fays. Take progesterone like Austen or phaeton for next 2 weeks after rupture is confirmed on ultrasound. Do a urine pregnancy test after that. Hope it helps.

Hello, Stopping smoking cold turkey does not have any risk to your health and would be the best way of stopping if you are able. But as for Lopressor, it is a beta-blocker medication and can help to prevent episodes of SVT, or help control them if you do have one. It is no guarantee but it should help. Also, smoking will not interact with the Lopressor in any significant way. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Chat Doctor.

If Cefixime(3rd Generation Cepholosporin) Oral suspension has not worked in a 3 year old child, then will it be appropriate to give Azithromycin 200 Syrup? The child is having a fever upto 101 degrees Fahrenheit. A mild dry cough too. Is on Cefixime oral suspension for last 2 days. Have taken Cefixime Oral Suspension even 6 months before due to fever as prescribed by the Paeditrician. Please guide.
|
Hi...by what you quote (as there are both fever and cough) it seems like a viral illness. Both Definite and Azithromycin are antibiotics used for Enteric fever or Typhoid. Definite specifically doesn't act for upper respiratory illness like this. I SUGGEST YOU NOT TO USE BOTH DEFINITE AND AZITHROMYCIN AS THEY ARE ANTIBIOTICS AND ARE NOT INDICATED FOR VIRAL ILLNESS LIKE THIS. 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. Regards -

Hi. I am a 32-year-old female. Over the last month and a half I have had some bizarre symptoms. On Oct. 13 I awoke from sleep with a vibrating sensation in my neck and shoulders. This vibrating sensation now comes and goes even during the day. Some days I have it all day some days just occasionally. I also notice random numb spots on my arms, hands, legs and face. Even burning and tingling type sensations. I went to my family doctor and he ordered a CT scan of my head with contrast which was normal. I work for a Radiation Oncologist and he looked at the CT scan to confirm and said it was normal not to worry. Well yesterday and today I have a new symptom. I have afterimages in my vision. I can look at something and as soon as I look away I see an outline of that image. Not the same color as the image just an outline. I have had these before but they have always gone away. Im really worried I have a brain tumor. I know they say the CT with contrast was normal but could it have missed something?
|
Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor A contrast CT is very sensitive to rule out a brain tumor. If it is normal it is unlikely you have brain tumor. Since you are working for a radiation oncologist you anxiety level for a malignancy is very high which may also be partly responsible for aggravation of your symptoms. The problem could be related to cervical spondylitis as you have numbness in the arms and hand and even tingling on face can be explained with this. It could also be related to vision. It is more important to get cervical spine X-ray, ESR, CBC, and to see ophthalmologist. A carotid Doppler, if indicated by your neurologist, may rule out any insufficient vascularity of brain. Take care

Hi, loose stool may be due to infection or hypersecretion so detailed history required. Black stool cant be due to rectal or anal cancer. Black tarry stool should be due to upper G-I bleed and that can be a cause of collapse. So stool exam to be done, if necessary blood transfusion will be needed. Anyway anorectal cancer can be treated by chemo radiotherapy first, if not metastatic disease. Then surgery may be tried. First go for conservative management at a good hospital then think about definitive management.

Hello, Thanks for posting your query. As you are in your younger age, orthodontic appliances can correct your teeth within short duration of time.

HelloThanks for query. Your father has undergone surgery for Varicocele and feeling tired since surgery he has hematuria since very recently . The cause of fatigue and tiredness could be loss of blood due to hematuria and not due to surgery.

What are the odds of achieving pregnancy with ICIS + IVF as a last resport.?

HelloThanks for your query. Please upload the exact semen analysis report. There are various causes of abnormal semen analysis. You should consult an Pro An Chat Doctor. Some causes are treatable, such as infections and blockage, and others are not, such as genetic causes.IT is difficult to say offhand without an examination.IVF _ CSI reports also depend on the count and other parameters.Consult an infertility specialist.

Gud mnin Doctor,I m 22 weeks pregnant with these ultrasound report, Presentation-unstable breech,Lie- Longitudinal,Placenta Location-Posterior,Placenta Maturation Grade-2, Foetal Weight-0.62kg, BDP- 5.3cm, FL-3.9cm, AC-17.5cm. Pls help translate dis? Cos d Foetal weight seems to small,less than 1kg.

Hi there, I have understood your concern and I will suggest you the best possible treatment options.First do not panic. This USG report is showing fetal growth corresponding to the period of pregnancy. Breech presentation as on today can change to vertex presentation by 34 weeks. Secondly, baby weight is also corresponding to weeks of pregnancy. At around 28 weeks, baby weight gets closer to 1Β kg. I will suggest you not to worry. Opt for a healthy diet and regular exercise regimen. Include more portions of fruits and vegetables and salads in daily diet. Chat Doctor. Have regular intake of Folic acid, vitamin B 12, IRON, Calcium and protein supplements. Meditate regularly. Practice deep breathing. Think positive. May God bless you with a bundle of Joy. I hope this answer helps you. Thanks.

Hello doctor,Two years ago, I suffered from a miscarriage and had undergone D and C. I am suffering from hypothyroidism and on Thyronorm 75 mg, and now the levels are normal. After six months of D and C, I got pregnant while on ovulation induction treatment, and unfortunately, that was an ectopic. My right tube is now blocked as I had undergone surgery. The tube is not removed, but the tube is blocked.It has been a year since I had surgery. I am trying to conceive, but I am not able to. My doctor put me on Letrozole, and it is my fourth cycle for it. During the first cycle, the ovulation was on left tube with ET 6.5 mm, and I did not conceive. Next two were on the right side, so no chance. Now again luckily it is on the left with ET 7.8 mm on day 16. What are my chances of conceiving, and is there a risk of ectopic again? My left tube is clear HSG test was done. Kindly explain to me.
|
Hello. No matter which side the ovulation occurs, the egg will fall into the peritoneal cavity and moves into the available open tube through which it enters the uterus. Since you had one ectopic pregnancy, you have a higher chance of repeat tubal pregnancy. But since HSG (hysterosalpingography) shows a patent tube, you also have a high chance of normal uterine pregnancy. The only chance is to have a pregnancy and have an early scan to confirm pregnancy inside uterus. I hope I have clarified your query, do write back if you have any more questions, for feedback. Take care.

im chioma, i dont know why i cant conceive after my first baby. each time i have sex during my ovulation for conception , instead of pregnancy, i will be having stomach cramps till i see my period. again my menstruation is not as heavy as it used to be since i finish giving birth. i need another baby. im 31 yrs. wht could be the possible causes?
|
Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor. I would ask you to get a scan of the abdomen which can give clue into any ovarian anomalies which can be expected in women of your age. A detailed follicular study would be necessary here to ascertain that the ovum is being produced at right time in good health. Also since you had a previous birth the cause for this delay now could be due to any structural defect left over by the previous childbirth. Do consult a gynecologist for the same. Wish you good health

Hi Doctor, I am a 40 years old women and have two kids. For the last ten years I am suffering from back pain which mostly goes to my leg. I have been trying physiotherapy, muscle strengthening exercises supported by physiotherapists, consulted Chiropractic clinics, etc. But so far the pain is till there and getting worse. Recent MRI result indicated that there is a problem on both sides of my hips( hip displacement) and recommended treatment (physiotherapy and compressor machine) for a month to fix them back and strengthen the muscles. Though there is improvement, I have a different pain on my left Thigh and Leg and it is getting worse. I can see a reddish color the side of thigh, it is not painful when I touch it but inside I feel pain and burning on thigh all the way to my leg. It gets worst when I walk. I don t know what to do and whom to consult (internist, bone specialists, etc.). and I am worried that this might not be a simple thing...I worried and not sleeping. That s why I am writing you to advise me. Awaiting for your response, Thank you so much! Email address: YYYY@YYYY

Hello, I have studied your case. As per your history there can be possibility of hip arthritis which can be degenerative or due to avascular necrosis of femoral head [AVN]. I will advise you do X-ray of hip, and you can consult me with reports or with your doctor. After clinical examination IF AVN is suspected then you will need MRI again with spine screening. Till time take analgesic and cartilage protecting medication like glucosamine sulfate. For hip arthritis joint flexion, extension and rotation exercises will help. Physiotherapist will help you better to learn more exercises in proper protocol. If required intra-articular injection can be given. Diet rich in calcium and protein will help Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow-up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries. Wishing you good health. Take care

Hi, I m 18 years old and I ve had this soft, moveable lump on the floor of my mouth behind my front teeth for about 6 months now. I don t believe it has grown in size and I kind of forgot about it until recently and now I ve started worrying about it. I also have this hard lump on the gums at the top of my mouth after a bad ulcer that is now painless. I m a non-smoker, never even smoked a toke of a cigarette in my life, and am not a particularly heavy drinker. I was wondering if there s anyway you could put my mind at rest until I manage to get to the dentist next week. Thanks.
|
Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query. The soft movable lump behind the front is because of the irrational fibrous or myogenic granuloma or an inflamed duct opening. Consult an oral physician and get it evaluated. If it is a irrational fibrous or myogenic granuloma, then get it excised surgically. If it is an inflamed duct opening take a course of antibiotics and check for any stones in the duct. I hope my answer will help you, take care.

|
Hi.it is best if you consult with a doctor, preferably a general surgeon, for medical and physical examination. Based from your description, it could be a cyst (a sebaceous or a gelatinous type), a fibrous or a lipoma. These lesions can occur anywhere in the body and have the tendency to recur. Management (medical and surgical) will be directed accordingly. Hope this helps. Good day!!~ Chat Doctor.

I m 67 and sometimes get a dull pain in my upper arms and shoulders, which normally lasts for just a few minutes. I m just finishing such a bout that came on about 10 minutes ago as I was lying in bed waiting for sleep. It caused severe aching in both arms and and shoulders. Most intense experience yet.

Hi, I am sorry for the pain you feel in your upper arms and shoulders. Your pain is suggesting "impingement syn Chat Doctor. Consult further with rheumatologist first and run shoulder joint X-ray. Arthroscopy might be also required. Take oral analgesic (ibuprofen or naproxen). Apply analgesic cream locally. Take glucosamine and hyaluronic acid supplement to reduce inflammation. Wish fast recovery.

Dr. I am a desperate mother. My daughter is suffering from Atopic ezema and asthama. Now when her skin has subsided her astma is giving her a hard time. I have taken her to a astma specialist and has prescribed these medicines.the problem is not better but she is very very tired and cannot walk or stand for long. She alsways wants to lie down. The medicines are - Ketasma 1mgRabium-20Acebrophylline capsules 100 mgMontek-10 mg plus an Inhaller.Are these medicines making her tired ?
|
Hello. Thank you for asking at Chat Doctor. I went through your daughters' history. I would like to know more about her like - What is her age? Since what age has she had asthma? Does she have allergic rhinitis (nose symptoms like nasal congestion, running nose, sneezing, etc.)? What type of inhaler is she taking? What is her frequency of her symptoms? Has she ever been tested for allergies? Does she have anyone in family with asthma? Is she regularly exposed to dust/smokes/air pollution? From your given history, I would like to make following suggestions to her:1. As per your query, Plasma (Ketotifen - an antihistamine) can cause sedation, Chat Doctor. 2. Personally I would suggest her to check her hemoglobin levels and allergy testing for common foods and air-borne allergens prevalent in your region. I would suggest maintaining her hemoglobin around 14 go. If she tests positive to any allergy-causing substance, avoidance measures can be suggested which may help to improve both atomic dermatitis and asthma.3. I would almost agree with her treatment as mentioned by you. However, I would like to review her technique of using inhalers as if it is not correct, adequate amount of

I took my daughter to the pediatrician because her temp was 102.4 and her throat was swollen and red. They tested her for rsv, strep, and the flu all were negative. Now she has a bad cough and her voice is starting to get hoarse. Is that normal, is this "cold" running its course or should I be concerned?
|
Hi, From history it seems that she might be having acute upper respiratory tract infection, either viral, bacterial or mixed. Seeing severe symptoms she might require one course of antibiotic medicine as it might create problem like pneumonitis if not treated with antibiotic. Consult your pediatrician and discuss this. Give her paracetamol and decongestant medicine to get symptomatic relief from all symptoms. Ok and take care. Give her enough water and keep her well HY Chat Doctor.

Hi I have a brownish colour discharge/pus coming from my belly. I get stomach pains randomly throughout the week. Ive seen a few doctors, had blood tests, ultrasounds, and xrays done, but no one is able to tell me what is wrong. Ive been to a specialist and he has ruled out appendicitis and a few other things. I am a 26 year old female and i dont know if this is of relevance but my partner and I have been trying for a baby for a year now. The stomach pains are more commonly in the morning, and i get a dark green stool too. Do you know what could be causing this? Thank you
|
Hello, the green stool and the pus from the belly do not seem to be related to each other. If the discharge is coming out of your umbilicus (the belly button) then this is omphalos and has various causes. The exact cause can usually be identified with either an ultrasound scan or a CT scan. The treatment is surgical, but it also requires administration of antibiotics. In mild cases antibiotics only and Chat Doctor. If it's not the umbilicus then its most likely a superficial infection or inflammation (carbuncle, infected cyst, etc.). The treatment is the same. Green stool means faster passage of the intestinal content through the intestinal lumen. There are far too many causes to mention here. The most common ones are the patients diet. Certain foods may stain the stool and make them look green. Iron supplements make the stool dark green (may look like black sometimes). Various causes of diarrhea may also cause green stools. More information is required for the investigation of this problem. I'll be glad to provide more clues, if you send more information about the quantity, consistency of the stool, how many bowel movements you have per day and the rest of your symptoms. Uploading any tests you've done will help a lot. I hope you find my comments helpful! You can contact me again, if you'd like any clarification or further information. Kind Regards!

Hi, Anti-TB medications are generally well tolerated by most patients however acne can occur as a side effect of vitamin one of the anti-TB medications that you have been taking. Other common side effects of anti-TB medications include orange colored urine, saliva or tears, redness and itching of the skin in sunlight, peripheral neuritis, joint pains, flu like symptoms, and liver injury. You must report to your doctor if you develop symptoms of liver injury like fever, right upper abdominal pain, vomiting, and jaundice. Hope I have answered your question.

Hi!welcome to Chat Doctor! It is important to note that, even though, the platelet numbers are decreased in thrombocytopenia, their function usually remains completely intact. The treatment of thrombocytopenia is largely dependent upon the cause and the severity of the condition. In general, platelet transfusion is not necessary, unless an individual with low platelets (less than 50,000) has an active bleeding or hemorrhage, Sometimes, transfusion may be recommended without any bleeding if the platelet count is less than 10,000. If a Chat Doctor. In autoimmune thrombocytopenia or ITP, steroids can be used to weaken the immune system in order to impair the attack on platelets. Take healthy well-balanced diet with plenty of fluids and wait for the B. M result. Hope this helps you! Take care!

I have been having bloody mucus stools for the past 24 hours non stop with nausea, severe cramping, fatigue, weakness, and it seems like I can t fully empty my bowls. My bathroom has mold in it (it has for years) and I wondered if the two were somehow linked.

Hello, Thank you for your contact to Chat Doctor. I understand your concern. If I am your doctor I suggest you that it can be possible with the mold only if exposure time is more, or you have immunocompromised. But having mold in bathroom usually do not cause such a symptom because the exposure time in you is very small. I think there must be some other reason behind your symptoms. I will be happy to answer your further concerned can contact me. Chat Doctor. Infectious disease specialist. Thank you.

Hi, My 3 yr old boy woke 2 days ago with a fever (38) and vomiting (3 times between 9am and 2pm). I gave him ibuprofen that morning which brought the fever down, so the vomiting wasn t from fever. So the second day loose stools x2 (not too bad) but lack of appetite, fever spiked in evening to 39.3 before coming down with ibuprofen. The third day (today) no fever (well 37.5-37.7) but he has over the course of the day developed a dreadful croup-type cough, now asleep but breathing very noisily. Should I be thinking of taking him to doc first thing in the morning? Or presume its a virus which has to run its course? Any advice muchly appreciated, thanks, Gemma
|
Hi Dear, Welcome to Chat Doctor. Understanding your concern. As per your query your child has symptoms of fever and vomiting along with loose stools which means child is suffering from gastroenteritis caused by viral infection or urinary tract infection known as UTI due to Enterococcus females infection. Fever is happening just because of that. I would suggest you to visit pediatrician once and get it examined. You should take roper course of antibiotics to fight against infection. Chat Doctor. If not taking any antibiotic start Norfloxacin for 5 to 7 days. Get culture test of urine done again after few days and start treatment accordingly. Avoid intake of outside food.
