Hi Doctor,I stepped on a sharp piece of fish bone so I put peroxide side on it and thoguht it was ok but I found out 3 weeks later a tiny tip of the bone was still in my foot so I squeezed the tip of the bone out and a small amount of pus came out. In two days the pain went away, the natural color in the area came back, the tiny opening closed, and the skin grew back. I feel like its totally healed. Do I need to get antibiotics for any sustained infection I may not be aware of?
|
Hello dear, Thank you for your contact to Chat Doctor. I read and understand your concern. I am Chat Doctor answering your concern. No, there is no need to take any antibiotics now. Your description is suggesting that your infection is cured. If the infection is not cured than skin never fuse, opening remains as such and there is discharge of pus coming out from it. So from now only maintaining good hygiene and small Chat Doctor. Extra antibiotics created in necessary resistance in you. I will be happy to answer your further concern on bit.ly/

Hi,I am trying to conceive for second child after 5 years. My age is 36 yrs. I am on clomid from day 2 and when the scan was taken on day 9 only one follicle of size 8mm was found. Also last cycle, there was one follicle of size 22 mm on day 9. Why the follicles are irregular every cycle and is thee any chance to conceive this month?
|
HelloThanks for your query. Just one monitoring scan on day 9 is totally insufficient to tell you about chances of conception. Follicular monitoring includes serial ultrasound scans throughout the cycle. The follicle is followed at least up to day 14 - 15, when normally ovulation occurs. On day 9, follicle size of 8 mm is normal, but size of 22 mm is too big.22 mm on day 9 indicates a follicular cyst, maybe remnant of previous cycle. Track the entire cycle to know whether cycle is ovulatory or not, if ovulation is not observed, you can go for further testing of ovarian reserve, hormonal assessment of POD etc. Take care.

Hello doctor, I am a 13-year-old male. I have been recently struggling with sickness, yet, I do not know which one. I have 94\xb0 F, sore throat, and it hurts while swallowing. I can not breathe without coughing, and I blink a lot. Please give an opinion about my problem.
|
Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor forum. First of all, is your temperature reading correct? You have written 94\xb0 F that is very low, and we call such low temperature as Hypothermia. If that is your temperature, you need to keep yourself warm. ChatDoctor. As your other symptoms are concerned, it seems like a throat infection with probable tonsillitis. I advise you do salt water gargling three to four times a day. Also, you can take tablet Aceclofenac 50 mg three times a day and Paracetamol 500 mg three times a day. If your cough is

im a 21 year boxer. in outstanding physical conditioning. i train very hard. amateur boxer becoming pro. i have a murmur. have had ultrasound. all good. but today while jumping rope, i felt a sharp pain on my chest over my heart; felt like my heart was beating fast and bursting out of my chest. it caught my breath and i stopped bc it was really sharp and i felt i couldnt breathe. i had eaten @1 1/2 - 2 hrs prior. never happened before. im fine now. but it scared me bc i have never had that happen. should i check it out?
|
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Possibility of musculoskeletal pain is more. But better to rule out cardiac chest pain because it is located in heart area, and you are having murmur. So better to get done 1. Blood pressure monitoring 2. ECG 3. 2d echo 4. Stress test (trade mill test). If all these are normal then no need to worry about major heart related diseases. Possibility of musculoskeletal pain due boxing exercise is more. So avoid exercise for few days. Apply warm water pad on affected areas. Take painkiller like ibuprofen. Don't worry, you will be alright. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.

I have a small cluster of boils on my head and have been using hot compresses and tried vicks vapor rub and toothpaste to help pop them. I got one to drain but it left some deep scarring and where the boils have appeared on my head I now have two bald spots. After the first boil drained that is when two more small boils appeared right next to it. Is this cellulitis or a carbuncle and how can I treat it. I do not want to go to the hospital. This has been occuring for a few weeks now.
|
Thanks for contacting ChatDoctorI am sorry to hear that you are having problems with boils. Boils are signs of infection in the skin and trying to rupture them may actually cause the infection to spread below the skin. I recommend that you seek medical attention, so you can get and antibiotic. The doctor may also be able to lance the boils which will help them heal. Hope I answered you question. Please contact us again with your medical questions and concerns.

My mood naturally turns frustrated during the night time only, sometimes i get suicide thoughts, they don t happen in daytime though, sometimes when i lay on bed i get little jerks and get anxious. My doctor suggested me Levroxa tablets twice a day, one in the morning and one in the evening, can i reduce it one time a day? cause i think don t i need them in the daytime. But night dose is relevant for me. Help!
|
Degree understand your concerns went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. I hope you consulted a psychiatrist. The symptoms may not be enough for a correct diagnosis, but it seems that you may be troubled by anxiety disorder. But it is also obsessive type because it comes only during nighttime. You may be thinking too much during night when you are free from other works. Please understand that your negative thinking can harm your whole 24 hours. Psychotherapy techniques should suit your requirement. If you require more of my help in this aspect, Please post a direct question to me in this URL. http://goo.gl/aYW2pR. Make sure that you include every minute details possible. I shall prescribe the needed psychotherapy techniques. Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications. Good luck.

The inside of my left foot started hurting 2 days ago. I don t remember injuring it. There is a sharp pain when I move it after putting weight on it, as well as when I put pressure on the ball of my foot. It doesn t look like it is very swollen or bruised.
|
Hi, There are many reasons for the pain in your foot. Like improper footwear, fungal infection, nail bed injury gout. You need to get thoroughly examined by a physician. You can take Ibuprofen for time being, but remember it won't help in treating the condition, will just provide you a temporary pain relief. Till then take care and rest well. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

I had bells palcy in my childhood, due to which my face looks ugly also, i came to know about this after a longer time. i had discussed with Neurosurgeon also but did not make any difference. Is there any way to resolve my problem also the estimated cost for this. It was not major one thing i would like to clarify. Please suggest me the best solution for my problem.
|
Hi, Thank you for posting your query. Bells palsy can lead to incomplete recovery of facial muscle weakness in about 5-10% of cases; in the rest, almost complete recovery occurs within 1-2 months. At this stage (after so many years of your illness), there is no medication that can help you. Physiotherapy including facial exercises may help a bit. For good benefit, plastic surgery may be required. You can discuss this with a plastic surgeon. Best wishes, Chat Doctor.

Dear user, thank you for your question, to get a better idea of is going on I suggest doing an MRI scan, with study of gray matter density. Refer to a neurologist in your areas and discuss symptoms with after acquiring the MRI. Reason for MRI is 2 things first to role out possibility of brain tumors, second is to study gray matter density to role out certain neurodegenerative diseases. Hope that was helpful please rate as five if so. Best regards,

yes my husband recently had kidney stones and was in the hospital so they can break them down so he can pass them. its been several weeks now and he is still urinating blood and he claims now it is coming out in clumps. is this something we need to some concern with do I make him go back to the doctors?
|
Hi, This can be due to various factors in your case. Stones cause bleeding when these are large. As you are diabetic so you have nephropathy which can also cause it. Lesions within kidneys can also cause it. As your husband had stones, so it appears these are large and large stones cause definitely hematuria. So there are multiple possibilities in him. It is better to get him properly investigated and find whether it is only stones or other than that which is causing bleeding. So get him consulted by physician as soon as possible. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Hello,6th day after period is relatively safe if your previous cycle was regular. You also took Corvette as emergency contraceptive pill within 12 hrs. Here, chance of pregnancy is quite low. Vaginal bleeding after one week occurs due to with Chat Doctor. It is a normal phenomenon. It will stop automatically. Don't be worried. Just maintain your genital hygiene. Next cycle may be delayed for 1-2 weeks due to hormonal imbalance. Do a home pregnancy test if period is delayed more than a week. Practice safe sex in the future. Good luck.

My husband is suffering from extreme mental confusion. He has had an MIR and well as many blood tests. All tests have proven to be negative. He is refusing to leave his bed and just doesnt want to talk or eat. He is very confused and cant seem to voice his concerns or thoughts. What can I do besides committing him, which is not an option?
|
Degree understand your concerns went through your description. You have not mentioned the age of your husband. He must be suffering from life anxiety. MRI and other blood tests were normal, and therefore he is supposed to be alright physically. I should ask you so many questions. When this started? What were the basic reasons for this? Is he suffering from any other lifestyle disease? Is he satisfied with his family and professional life? Any unnatural death in your family or nearby? Etc. Usually, when a person who sees actual life, he gets confused about his role and should normally become anxious. Fear and anxiety are after products. Fear keep him in one place without moving and anxiety keeps him thinking. Normally such patients need expert intervention. With the help of an expert Psychologist / psychotherapist your husband should become alright. Consult such a specialist. Or book a telephone appointment through Chat Doctor for me and talk to me. I shall help your husband in every way I can. Hope I am able to partially clarify your doubt. Good luck.

Hi doctor,My daughter has pleural infection in lungs. When she was 2 years, decortication was done by open surgery. Now she is four years old. 3 days back she got fever. Though after taking antibiotic her fever subsided, x-ray report showed mild cardiomegaly with bilateral perihilar congestion. Is there again a chance for fluid to get gathered inside her lungs? What should we do for the same? Please advice.
|
Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor forum. I can understand your concerns. Pleural fluid collection occurs when infection persists for long time and is not responding to antibiotics. Pleural fluid collection in past does not increases the chances of collection at a later age. This time, x- ray (attachment removed to protect patient identity) shows mild cardiomegaly and perihilar congestion. This is not related in any way to lung infection and fluid collection. I suggest you to do an echocardiogram, to see what is the cause for cardiomegaly. Further treatment will depend on echocardiography report.

My dad has hep c about 4 years ago he had varaces in his esophagus bust and he almost bleed to death. So niw 4 years later he has been diagnosed with throat cancer. The symptoms have been going on for months tho. His ent dr was saying he can t go through treatment because of his liver. They was going to put him to sleep to do a biopsy and while he would be asleep go ahead and do the breathing tube, he decided against it out is a risk to put him to sleep let alone cut on his throat and not be able to control the bleeding... to sum it up he won t eat cause it hurts he s lost like 30lbs in about 2 months. If they was to succeed in putting a breathing tube and a feeding tube in. What would his quality of life be and how long could he survive with no treatment
|
Hi, Thanks for writing in. Sorry to hear the disease progress in your father and praying for his recovery and pain free survival. Throat cancer needs to be staged first when deciding on treatment. There are 4 stages in any cancer and stages 1 and 2 are almost completely treatable. Stages 3 and 4 are difficult to treat. If he is unable to get a chemotherapy session, then he can go for radiation therapy. Radiation works wonders in prolonging the survival of a throat cancer patient. This will kill the cancer cells and any lymph nodes involved in the area of radiation. Chemotherapy might not help him much if his immunity is low, but it can surely be tried. Surgery is a problem if he has bleeding tendency. You can discuss the possibility of giving him radiation and chemotherapy. The breathing tube and food tube are important to make sure he gets his nutrition and keeps his airway open. These is vital functions for his life. In this way a patient can survive for about 12 months to 2 years without any surgical treatment and if the tumor shows response then survival can be even longer.

Hello Doctor, I am a 48 year old male with Eosinophilia Myalgia Syndrome, from taking L-Tryptophan capsules. I suffer fatigue, skin, nerve, muscle and joint problems My height is 1.82m and weight is 87 kg I have been ill for a year, I suffer also insomnia and my body temperature is well out of balance, I sweat easily when warm now and have fevers every night unless I only sleep under a very thin blanket. Lot of stress and sensitivity to sounds also.
|
Hi. Stopping ingestion of L-tryptophan or any other agent that may be the offending factor is key in the treatment of eosinophilia-myalgia syn Chat Doctor. Because of the protean manifestations of EMS, patients are treated based on their symptoms. Chronic symptoms, such as muscle pain, spasm, weakness, neuropathy, and skin thickening, are noninflammatory and are treated symptomatically. Intermittent use of muscle relaxants and analgesics. In addition, prednisone is commonly prescribed because inflammation plays a role. However, treatment with corticosteroids is not beneficial in reducing the severity or duration of symptoms. Long-term steroid therapy has no role. Assistance with activities of daily living can be taken. You can consult neurologist for your multiple problems. Hope this is helpful. Take care.

Needing some ideas of what could be going on with my mom. She has had h pylori bacteria and ulcers which they said were gone but she still takes the protonix. Now she is experiencing pain in her chest when she swallows, eating drinking and lots of air coming up and thats painful. But no burning.

Brief Answer:Most likely its: Side effect of Proton ix. Detailed Answer:Hello, Thank you for asking your query on Chat Doctor. The most common side effects that occur with pantoprazole(Proton ix) include: stomach pain, chest pain, nausea or vomiting, gas(lots of air coming up). However, because Chat Doctor. If the H. Pylori infection is over, and the ulcer has been fully healed now, I may suggest you stop treatment with Proton ix. If the symptoms disappear, we are sure that they have had side effects of treatment. A re-examination of the gastro-hepatologist would be necessary. If you have more question, Feel free to ask.

Are you or any of your colleagues specialist in treating very accute pancreatitus. Sister has suffered this condition for three months, most of that time in hospital and now in skilled nursing home. She now is fed by tube into her stomach. Still no solid food. We are desperate for a doctor who can address and treat her problem. Thank you. J. Hemenez
|
Welcome at Chat Doctor I have gone through your and being your physician ii completely understand your health concerns. As far as management is concerned, first thing is cause of acute pancreatitis is it a GALL STONES? Or something is else. Second is how severe is the attack? For this we need to get some investigations like serum glucose, BBC, LDH and AST along with UREA CREATININE and serum CALCIUM LEVELS. The most important aspect of the management is giving rest to the pancreas by keeping Will by mouth to patient. For this purpose NG tube has to be put in . All necessary fluids have to be given via intravenous route along with ANTIBIOTICS. Studies have shown that EMINEM has reduced the mortality by 70% in these patients. My advice to you, you should meet GASTROENTEROLOGIST so that you can be counselled properly. As far as home management for this disease is concerned I will discourage you for it and in my opinion patient should be hospitalized until and unless he starts tolerating oral diet... meanwhile stay calm and meet your GASTROENTEROLOGIST.get well soon Hope your query is adequately ad Chat Doctor.

Hello, As most of the cases reported in this age are due to changes in the physiology. Lack of vitamin D, calcium, hormonal changes, menstrual cycle, etc. I will advise getting your hemoglobin checked once. As low levels of iron can also lead to aches.

As such anxiety and thalassemia are not correlated pathologically, but due to burden of the disease and repeated blood transfusions child Chat Doctor. You have said that you are having thalassemia minor, so particularly in your case it is not correlated to anxiety. Actually anxiety and depression are psychiatric disorders which are known as "common cold of psychiatry", so it can happen to any person in this world. If you are experiencing any of the symptoms then it might be separate from your thalassemia, may be related to your life stressors, or it may be biological without any stress. you are taking alprazolam 0.5 mg thrice a day, as such alprazolam is nice

If you are not an asthma person we can start on stable 5 mg and these are prescribed Chat Doctor. .without the test done we can't start this medication otherwise the diet plan which you had started, and your regular exercise might decrease the B.

My mum had a small lump on the back of her leg which they did an ultrasound and said it was a bakers cyst now 2 years later they dont think it is a bakers cyst and sent her for an xray now shes to go in for an mri scan does this mean they think she has cancer or could it be something else? if they thought she had a tumour would they have her in straight away?
|
Hi.your doctors are probably doing those follow-up diagnostic imaging to further evaluate the mass. It doesn't necessarily mean she has cancer. But it could be of help in characterization and extent of the mass. If there are indications, further investigation, such as tissue diagnosis/biopsy might also be needed. Thru this, you'll know specifically what kind of lesion it is. Depending on the results/ findings, your surgeon would proceed accordingly. Hope this helps. Good day!~ Chat Doctor.

Hello doctor,I was diagnosed with bronchitis today in the emergency room. I felt very weak and had difficulty breathing and could not wait for my doctor\s appointment in two weeks. I have an unproductive cough for a month and a half and burning in my chest. I have attached my reports.Do you see anything else in these X-rays (tumor)?Is bronchitis the correct diagnosis?Are the medications they prescribed correct?
|
Hello. According to your present and past history, it could be allergic rhinitis with bronchial asthma if rhonchi present on auscultation. it could be bronchitis in which rhonchi may or may not be present. I have gone through the reports (attachment removed to protect patient identity). There is no evidence of malignancy. Although medicines are correct, if symptoms are not controlled, then I suggest you should go for nasal spray BD, Montair LC (Montelukast and Levocetirizine) HS, Seretide Accuhaler (Fluticasone Propionate and Salmeterol Xinafoate) BD. For more information consult a pulmonologist online

Hi, Im 20 years old and I had unprotected sex with my boyfriend during my ovulation dates. Im on Orsythia, a birth control pill. This is my second month on it and I have breakthrough bleeding. Its about a week before my period now. And its also about a week since I had the unprotected sex. Im just concerned if I may be pregnant or not. I take my birth control very regularly. Ive never missed a day or been more than an hour or two late taking it. However, I didnt know that I had sex during the ovulation days till later on. But I guess on birth control you dont ovulate? Im confused on that. My main question though is if I had unprotected sex during my supposed ovulation days while on birth control, could I be pregnant?
|
Hello, On regular intake of birth control pill gives protection near about 99% against unwanted pregnancy. Here, pregnancy rate is less than 1% and occurs only after failure of the pill. First time pill user may get irregular spotting or bleeding before period for initial 1-2 months until hormone is adjusted to body system. However, you can undergo one home pregnancy test if you miss next period. It helps to clear confusion. Good luck.

Hello I am 43, 5 8 tall, 137 lbs. I am having pains in my neck and pressure in my head. The pain goes my clavicle. I just had an MRI of the brain and the neck. I would like to know what is T2 sequences show scattered minute white matter hyperintensities mostly on the left subcortical consistent with minimal small vessel disease and the sequela of chronic ischemia? Also what is the basal arteries are patent? I also have numbness and weakness on my legs but more on the right side.
|
Hi ! Good morning. I am Chat Doctor answering your query. The report shows some amount of lack of proper blood supply to the neural cells of some part of the brain. This could be due to any pathology of the blood vessels like arteriosclerosis due to very many regions. Basal arteries are one of the major arteries of brain and cervical region. These arteries are normal as per the report of patency of these vessels. These findings could also be just incidental findings whereas your symptoms could be due to cervical spondylitis, but there is no mention of that in the report. The significance of these findings could be co related only by physical examination and some other investigations if need be by the treating doctor. If I were your doctor, I would also advise very much against smoking and alcohol if you do consume any of these. Management of your symptoms could either be physiotherapy and some euro vitamins along with some anti-inflammatory Chat Doctor. These could be decided by the doctor who treats you after a physical examination and some routine investigations including a blood sugar test. I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in solving this problem. Thanks for using the Chat Doctor forum for your health query. Wishing you an early recovery. Chat Doctor.

xray cervical spine no fracture seen alignment is anatomic no prevertebral soft tissue swelling detected very minimal loss of disc height is seen at the c4/5 level the remaining intervening cervical disc spaces appear preserved the visualised neural exit foramina outline normally rudimentary cervical ribs are noted bilaterally the lung apices appear clear this is my result after an exray due to numbness pins and needles in my left hand could u please explain briefly what it is exactly as im looking for another opinion from outside my gp doctors in australia thankyou
|
Hi This X-Ray report will be passed off as normal in your case since the symptoms(pins and needles in hand) do not match the report(decrease in disc height at C 4-5). In my opinion you could be having 1.cervical nerve root pressure(which will be evident in MRI) 2. Carpal Tunnel syn Chat Doctor. I suggest that you start painkillers, muscle relaxant and gabapentin and get the above-mentioned tests one by one.

i pulled/ tore my right calf muscle 7 days ago the first 3 days I could barely move it. Now I have most ofmobility back but I still have pain and some swelling. The swelling is mostly on the top of my shin. I can press down about a half inch. Is this normal? Also I now notice swelling on my other shin very strange. Is the swelling a symptom of something different?
|
Hello, I read carefully your query and understand your concern. Your symptoms seem to be related to a pulled muscle. I suggest using a muscle relaxant such as Baclofen three times a day. I also suggest taking magnesium supplements for muscle relaxation. Warm compresses can also be helpful. Hope my answer was helpful. If you have further queries feel free to contact me again. Kind regards! Chat Doctor.

Hi, it looks like you almost certainly had a kidney issue when you had your symptoms of bleeding with burning urination. This picture is usually due to a stone or infection, but the only way to know if you have indeed passed a stone or not is to get some minimum tests done like an ultrasound of your kidneys and bladder area along with an X-ray of the same area with a urine examination for any evidence of infection. On the other hand your hives are not likely to be due to the kidney problem, and if you have upper abdominal discomfort that gets worse with alcohol, you might have sever gastritis and try avoiding anything that exacerbates it like alcohol, coffee, spicy food. You can try using antacids and medications like Sanitizing but if things get worse, you might need an endoscopy.

Hi Doc..this is, age 32..i do have pigmentation on both the cheeks as well as on nose since 4 years..i don t know what exact treatment i should follow..and is there is specific tablets to reduce pigmentation ..and also wanted to know if pigmentation is curable ? I heard that it is not curable so i am bit scared as i don t want to look like this for ever

.-. Hi your clinical history gives the impression that you're having plasma...no one knows the exact etiology but it usually happens because if terminal changes during pregnancy, sometimes BCO of OC pills, thyroid and decrease he....the. .the greatest enemy for this condition is UV rays...so top most priority is UV protection whether u r indoors or outdoors....apply sunscreen with SPF 30 at least 3 to 4 times a day as the effect of sunscreen hardly lasts more than 2 to 4 hours.this pigmentation is quite resistant to treatment so prevention and protection is best especially when it is deeper...it can definitely be reduced with the help of medium depth chemical peels...at lead six sessions...BT again the improvement has to be maintained as well as it's not permeant and recurrence is possible...more of salads and sprout, plenty of water, and at least a single citrus fruit a day...don't take stress...

Hi, im in excrutiating pain. Seems like i have an impacted wisdom tooth. I have a really bad ear ache my left tonsil hurts (feels like it is) and my jaw hurts. Basically my left side. The pain is 9/10 ive never actually cried in such a long time due to pain. Would this tooth need to be removed?
|
Hello, You are suffering from the spread of infection. Take some anti-inflammatory medication at regular intervals until you can seek care. If possible, try a combination of two Advil and two Tylenol. You can be prescribed an antibiotic to control the infection spreading and decide the best treatment after a clinical diagnosis. Schedule a visit with the oral surgeon. Consider a visit to the emergency room if you have a delay in getting an appointment since you are experiencing such a high degree of pain. You may need to visit an ENT specialist if the tooth is not the source of the pain. A surgical extraction will most likely be recommended if the wisdom tooth is infected. Get the correct diagnosis as soon as possible to make the best decision and stop your infection from getting worse. Thank you for your inquiry. I hope that my suggestions are helpful, and you have some relief soon.

Hi, i am 39 years old and weigh 237 pounds. I went to the emergency room for abdominal pain and had a cat scan done. they told me my scan was perfect,but they notic i had a couple of white dots showing in one of my lungs... Can somebody please tell me what this could be.
|
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. White spots on lungs on CAT scan are commonly seen with 1. Benign cyst 2. Fresh infection like pneumonia, tuberculosis 3. Lung abscess 4. Lung cancer5. Old fibrotic, healed lesions. So better to consult pulmonologist and get done 1. Bronchoscopy and BAD (bronchoalveolar lavage) analysis for the diagnosis of infection. 2. Biopsy from the nodule for the diagnosis of cancer. So consult pulmonologist and discuss all these. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.

I have iron deficient anemia, and have done IV treatments to elevate my iron levels. More recently, I am noticing that I am bruising quite easily, and sometimes without knowing how I got the bruise. I have been doing a lot of reading and research, and wondered if this bruising easily is something i should look into as possibly having another blood/clotting disorder.
|
Hi, dear. I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. If you get easily bruised then you may have some other disorder. It's not due to your iron deficiency or its treatment. You should go for platelet count AMD and coagulation profile once. It will give idea regarding your disorder. Then you should take treatment accordingly. Consult your physician go for investigation and 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.

Tripped 3days ago foot injured five toes bent backwards during fall,Swollen big toe and next toe along with blue purple brushing swelling also top and bottom of that foot, moving up to ankles and few inch s above F age 62 high blood pressure CHF1 early diabetics
|
Hi there. What you have had is a bad soft tissue injury of the foot and ankle region. At your age the skin starts to become loose, so if there is an injury of the ligaments, muscles underneath the hematoma spreads towards all directions and this manifests itself as bruising with a black to blue color to begin with. As the days go by the bruising will subside and change color to green or yellow as the blood present in the hematoma gets broken down. The two main problems in your case is that you are a diabetic and have CHF as well. So please maintain a strict control over your sugars, take some bed rest for around 5 days. Keep your foot elevated over 2 pillows, apply crΓͺpe /compression bandaging to reduce the swelling and avoid putting weight on the affected foot to let the injured structures heal. At the end 5 days see how your problem is and whether it is still persisting. In that case get an x-ray done and get yourself evaluated for the same.

my daugter is ten years old and I will say she has never seemed to be a well child. She has delt with a great deal of allergies in her life and is on sublingual immunotherapy drops. Last year in august we discovered a 1.5cm lump in her left supraclavicular which she has had two ultrasounds to confirm the second of which confirmed and increase in size to 2cm around march. she was sent to see an oncologist which is also her allergist who told us not to worry its just due to her allergies that the node is swollen because its not growing fast enough and she is not loosing weight. She is a small child (thin and short) to begin with. She has also been diagnosed with IBS by sick kids before all this came about after an ultrasound of the digestive track due to pain in the stomach and constipation/ diarrhea . Now she seems to get quite a few days of the month that she is very lathargic and pain in the stomach area just under the breast bone. I am very conserned regarding possible lymphoma but unsure if being a year since we first found the lump and no other b symptoms that we can think of other than being lathargic more frequently if this is still a possibility or the allergy diagnoses is more likely/
|
Hello, I am a bit confused as your allergist is also an oncologist, and you need to figure out what he is board certified in - allergy or oncology? The important investigation in this regard is a complete blood count, Lots, thyroid functions, the ultrasound reports and a FNAC report of the lump from the pathologist and reviewed by a Hematologist. Supraclavicular lymph node swelling is a significant swelling that must be investigated in detail. Her alleges and SLIT does not take precedence at the moment.

Ive been eating almonds a lot lately and lately Ive noticed after one or two the tip of my tongue feels funny, sort of like after you burn your tongue on hot coffee. The initial pain fades but theres that funny feeling and you cant really taste anything for a while after. Its like that and lasts for about an hour. Why is that?
|
Hi. Thanks for the query. It looks like there is inflammation of the tip of the tongue that can be due to eating too much of almonds that are probably hard. It can cause inflammation of the tongue papillae and give you a sore feeling.However, it is temporary and will resolve once you avoid over eating hard foods. For now, you can do warm saline gargles, do cool compresses over the tongue tip, take soft diet and avoid spicy and hard foods. Chat Doctor. . If still there is no improvement, or it worsens get it clinically examined by a dentist. Hope this helps. Regards.

I have had congestion, very frequent sneezing, runny nose for 5 weeks now. I got put on Amoxicillian for 7 days and that did not help. The last few days I developed a cough and a very smelly odor when I do. I also have bouts of wheezing and crackling sometimes throughout the day and night.
|
Hi, I think that your problems is between a flu by viral infections or a upper airway allergy. In both the antibiotic is not effective. In other hand wheezing is everywhere a sign of constrictions airway in low level of respiratory tract, and both with cough maybe speak for a before asthma situation. Bad odor is by some microbial flora in your tract that activate during inflammatory process and go on after medications. By me, you need a Specific IGE (ALLERGY TEST) in order to be clear is allergy or not. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Yes sir at least one blood thinner should be taken life long, though with time Your doctor will decrease the total number of pills to minimum, however the benefit of taking one blood thinner preferably aspirin lifelong if far more than the risk involved with stopping it, which has been proved worldwide in many trials. So I would request you not to stop with consultation with your doctor or me. Regards Chat Doctor.

my son had an appendectomy on Tuesday evening. he is 10--came home yesterday evening and couldnt tolerate pain meds (I hope that is what it is) I stopped giving to him at 10 AM as he threw up 4 times since waking at 8 am. he has no appetite --no fever and terrible headaches--called the surgeon and he thinks it was the pain medication lortab elixir making him sick..but says it could be an abscess and if he is still vomitting tomorrow to bring him back to ER...what about the headaches?
|
Good day, and thanks for your question. Please kindly take him to the ER as soon as possible. The headache could be as a result of the effect from the anesthesia during the surgery or as a result of the abscess too, and pain medications will help him. If he's still vomiting kindly take him to the ER where he will be given pain injections and injections to stop the vomiting and treat the abscess. Hope it helps. Thank you.

Hi doctor,I am a 16-year-old boy. I had thick hair. Recently, I started applying conditioner on my hair. I have lost my hair after using conditioner on the scalp. My mother has thick hair. My father has a bald head. I want to get my thick hair again. I am living in depression. I am unable to concentrate on my studies. I do not know whether the hair loss is temporary or not. I also have small patches between my hairs. What can it be? What can I do to get a thick hair again? Is it right to use Minoxidil now? Please help me.
|
Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor forum. It can be a side effect of a conditioner. Sometimes, the chemicals present in the conditioners are quite strong, and they lead to a negative impact on the hair, causing hair loss. As a first step, stop using conditioners. Secondly, you have told about the small patches present between the hairs. It can be a fungal infection causing hair loss. Wash your hair twice a week with a mild shampoo. Use Ketaconazole based shampoo for every 15 days. It can be a medicated anti-dan ChatDoctor. You can take vitamin supplements for a month. Take vitamin biotin and other vitamin B complex foods. Also, take vitamin C. Eat healthy food and lots of green leafy vegetables. Also, add

Hello doctor,My last period started a month back and I have a regular cycle of around 32 days. I am trying to conceive and I also noted date during ovulation and implantation dip but suddenly a few days back, I started to bleed which was dark brown in color initially and the amount was less than periods. Next day, some more bleeding with clots and on the third day. I had very dark little spotting and in my life, I never had my periods earlier than the date. What can I conclude from this?
|
Hello. If you are trying to conceive, there is always the possibility that you are indeed pregnant. However, it is just a month and at this point, it is too early to tell what is going on for sure. The light bleeding could be implantation bleeding or it can be regular periods, just a lighter version. However, it can also be a chemical pregnancy that did not last. What I am going to suggest is that you wait a few more days and get a home pregnancy test done. If you experience symptoms of early pregnancy like feeling tired, abdominal pain, feeling dizzy, nausea or more bleeding, get a USG done.

My Gyne doctor advised me to take Novaclox, but it causes skin irritation alongwith I don t like anything to eat. There is pain observed from Coller Bone to right abdomen. Please advice me.

Hello dear, I understand your concern. In my opinion the elevated leukocyte might not be considered as abnormal. Because there is elevation of leukocyte count up to 15000 in pregnancy. So you need worry regarding the elevated counts. Relax.the pain from collar bone to abdomen might be due to muscular pain. Some or the other type of non-specific pain appear in pregnancy which subside on their own.Don't worry. Take Paradox if pain is severe. The skin irritation might be due to sensitivity to antibiotics. Take adequate fluids up to 3 liters per day to prevent deny Chat Doctor. Hope this helps. Best regards...

I wake up at least 7-10 times when I sleep at night. The reason I wake up is painful tingling in my mostly in my left hand, rarely in my right. There is no feeling in my hand and there is a bad tingling. I understand that if you sleep with your hand in an ackward position that could possibly cut off the blood circulation, but I guarantee you that this is not a factor. Please consult.
|
Hello, As you are right that due to lack of blood circulation there might be some tingling sensation and its good you are aware of it and that is not the case which you admitted. So tingling in the fingers can be due to the other factor like the nerve entrapment anywhere in its course. Having doing simply gone remedy can sort out the symptoms and provide relief. Home remedies include - hot water fermentation to the neck region, static neck exercises, shoulder stabilization exercises, biceps and triceps static strengthening exercises etc. should provide relief. In case after the home remedy the tingling still persists then we need to look for an MRI cervical spine to rule out the nerve root entrapment due to disc compression. In that case, exercise remains similar, but we have to start with using the cervical soft collar which will help to stabilize the cervical spine. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Jay In Chat Doctor.

I brought my daughter into a family physician on Wed of this week. They diagnosed her with an enlarged spleen . They checked her blood , full CBC and mono test, whicChatDoctore back negative. She is 17 years old, they feel that it is swollen because of a viral infection. My concern is she still is in lots of pain AND her sister, now 19 had acute myeloid leukemia at 11. I am very concerned as I looked on the internet and this can be a cause of leukemia. What should I do now?? Both to put our mind at ease and to help her pain.
|
Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor, There are many causes of spleen enlargement, her CBC and Mono test are normal, so do not worry but as there is family history of AML, just wait and watch and keep her under medical supervision. Blood test can be repeated and if Hematologist thinks it is appropriate a bone marrow examination can be done. One should be positive, I hope splenomegaly will regress or other cause if any will be detected and treated, and she should be better soon. Best of luck Take care.

I am from Bangladesh. My father s problem is when he walk he feel vertigo. He feels uneasy to keep walking due to vertigo. His BP is normal,no diabetics, He feel uneasy to stand on foot for long time. He is 64 years old. We consult with Bangladeshi doctors. They told he is well, there may be slight problem in Vestibulocochlear Nerve. One of the doctor identified it is as a peripheral vertigo. Now I am worried about it. Why he is not recovering???Please help Sir.
|
Hello, There is a condition called BENIGN PAROXYSMAL POSITIONAL VERTIGO (BPPV) which could be correctly referred to as a "peripheral" vertigo. It is common in all people above age 55. It is as a result of some degeneration in the INNER ear apparatus where balance is executed and signals sent to the brain via the VESTIBULOCOCHLEAR nerve. There is a set of exercises you could look up on the internet on YouTube called the Brandt-Daroff Exercises. They will show you exactly how you can help your father (or how a specialist such as a neurologist or neurobiologist or even ENT specialist) without much effort though you have to follow the instructions carefully and perform these exercises for at least 7-10 days before your father may experience full relief. Also, in 50% of cases the condition may return after successful treatment in which case you need to repeat the whole set of exercises for another 7-10 days and so forth. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Chat Doctor.

I have a few bumps on both sides of my labia minora. One of the bumps protrudes a small amount, but the others are small bumps. I recently shaved and hadnt noticed them before. They do not look like warts and I was at the gyno for a pap a couple months ago and she didnt say anything, but I didnt notice them at the time. They do not hurt or cause any discomfort. Any ideas?
|
Hi.based from your description, yes, it could be folliculitis. This usually occurs after shaving or when a hair is accidentally pulled out, and it gets infected. It could also be a cyst, or an inflammatory reaction which is starting to form an abscess. A consult with your gynecologist is best for clinical evaluation. Medical and/or surgical management will be directed accordingly. Hope this helps. Good day!!~ Chat Doctor.

My 4 yr old daughter has typhoid 320 titres. she has high fever of 103 and she sweats later after fever is gone, she is having from almost 2 weeks. I want her to be cured I also have typhoid but 80 titres , my daughter is taking mafkind and taxim with calpol syrup, how long she has to suffer like this? also Dr . tried to give her iv drips but the Dr. could not find the vein for her , he pricked and she was swollen in iv area, so he could not give her iv. advise plz
|
Hello there, I am Chat Doctor. In typhoid only certain antibiotic is to be prescribed. Taxim is one of them.360 typhoid is positive in your language, while 80 is found in almost all healthy individual, this is called baseline typhoid level. You had been advised for culture, but you have not mentioned, so you have not done culture, but now this case is looks like typhoid which is resistance to that given antibiotic, taxi. SO now one thing you can do you go for culture of Stool sample, because in antibiotic given cases typhoid bacteria can be isolated mostly. While other sample mostly found negative. And if it is found positive you just go with sensitivity report and at least antibiotic for 14 days is necessary for complete clearance of typhoid bacteria. You need to think for other fever also it might be a malaria, because sweating after fever is a feature of malaria also, so you need to rule out malaria also. Also do some blood test like complete blood count with peripheral smear examination, urine routine microscopic examination, stool routine microscopic examination and culture, so malaria also can be ruleoutHope I have given appropriate guidance to you. If you have any query you can consult me anytime. Give me star rating and thank you according to your satisfactory level. Thanking you.

I hit my head on my windshield in an accident and went to the E.R. Had a Ct scan that was negative, however almost a week later I still have a little tenderness and there is a spot that when I press down on it feels like my finger sinks into it. Does this warrant a visit to the doctor?
|
Hi, The CT brain is the gold standard for any head injury. If it has shown a normal study, you needn't be worried. The bump on head is probably soft tissue swelling, and it should recede in a week or two. Applying an ice-pack will certainly help in decreasing it further and the pain too should go away. You could also take an over-the-counter Tylenol for the pain. If however the symptoms don't go away, and you get any new symptoms you would need to visit your doctor.

My gums bleed and seem to be taken over my teeth. I don t want to go back to my dentist because I don t want to get yelled at for not taking care of my teeth when I do. I just can t get every spot with having braces. Not only that but I m pregnant I heard that when this happens you have to get surgery done. What will help get them to go back to normal ?
|
Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query. The bleeding gums are because of the gum infection called pregnancy gingivitis, or it can be secondary to the deposits. Nothing to be panic, no need to go for surgery or anything. Just get the teeth cleaned if deposits are there. It is also because of the hormonal changes during pregnancy. Do not worry about the instructions given by the dentist regarding your brushing methods, it's for your good. This will reduce once you deliver. Do saline gargling. I hope my answer will help you, take care.

Hello, The symptoms can be due to infection and in case if it looks like you are getting a fever. Then it can be due to viral infection. It can also be due to bacterial infection. It can cause swelling of lymph nodes along with fever and pain. So my suggestions are -To take a combination of Ibuprofen and Acetaminophen.-You can also take antibiotics like Amoxicillin.-Take plenty of fluids. If there is no improvement consult an emergency room or a general physician. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

My mother is having a problem in her mouth .Age:47. The part of inside mouth i.e inner cheek comes between the teeth and create a cut. This happened always and it looks like a mark. We consulted doctor and they said that due to age, the muscle of face becomes loose and it goes in between the teeth. Can you please provide me a solution for this ?

Hi, Thank you for the query. Cheek bite is a most common problem among every individual. Cause for it varies, may be due to a sharp margins formed due to attrition of the teeth in aging , due habits like tobacco chewing. Usually if left unattended it may lead to formation of cancerous lesion due to repeated trauma. Selective grinding in case of sharp or irregularity in teeth can be done. Another possibility is lack of proper occlusion when closing the mouth or biting or chewing the food. If it is because of improper occlusion then it requires correction of occlusion. Your dentist can diagnose the reason for the cheek bite and treat accordingly. Hope the information will help you.

hello dr. i m ashok .i have a very unique problem.when i saw any thread like that of thread of kite or any sharp thread,then i feel that it is cutting my right index finger,and i become irritate by this action..i continously concentrated on this and cannot concentrate on my work

Degree understand your concerns went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. This symptom cannot be termed as clinical hallucination. But can be termed obsessive thoughts. You had that disturbing sensation once. You expected it to happen again and tried. Then you started experiencing it as you were expecting it. Then your body brought the familiar symptom because you are expecting it. Then you started worrying that the symptom is coming again and again and expect it. Body brings it again as you are expecting it. You become worried and so on. That is obsession in simple terms. Ignore it and the problem vanishes. If you require more of my help in this aspect, Please post a direct question to me in this website. Make sure that you include every minute details possible. I shall prescribe the needed psychotherapy techniques which should help you cure your condition further. Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications. Good luck.

Welcome to ChatDoctorGreetings of the dengue usually affects the platelet count. As dengue is caused by virus it does have some amount of upper Gastrointestinal symptoms like bloating of the stomach. There is no cause of concern. You can safely continue taking steroid for lupus state. Getting dengue does not usually worsen lupus state. Rest be assured everything is alright. Do get a platelet count repeated. Take disregards Chat Doctor.

Hello. Thank you for asking at Chat Doctor. I went through your history and would like to make suggestions to you as follows:1. First, I would suggest you to stop smoking completely, you can please seek a professional help to quit smoking. Smoking is very dangerous for lungs, can worsen asthma as well as can reduce beneficial effects of some asthma medications.2. Were I treating you, I would suggest you to use inhaled corticosteroids (Budesonide or Fluticasone) for at least 3 months.3. I would also suggest you montelukast for at least 3 months.4. I would suggest you allergy testing which may help identify the substances causing allergy to you and to know the measures to avoid them.5. In general, I would suggest you to avoid exposure to dusts, smokes and air pollution.6. Regular breathing exercises and a healthy diet rich in vitamins & minerals (adequate green leafy vegetables, fruits, sprouts, etc.) will also help you in a long run by improving your lung capacity and immunity respectively. 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 have chest pleuritic chest pain in right side, on X ray & Scan certain amount of fluid identified as infected what is non tap able, doctors using Antibiotics. What are the possible way to determine the type infection in this case. Still pain is there while lying dawn on bed for some time after taking a course of antibiotics.
|
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. Ideally we need to Chat Doctor. But since it is not tappable, we need to rule out type of infection by other tests like1. Sputum routine microscopy and culture.2. Bronchoscopy and BAD (Bronchi Alveolar Lavage)analysis.3. Blood reports like ESR, CRP and PCT. Amongst this PCT is highly specific for bacterial infection. And most common cause for pleural effusion is bacterial infection only. So discuss these tests with your treating doctor.

Hello! Welcome on Chat Doctor ! I read carefully your question and would agree with your doctor that neuropathy seems to be the cause of your numb and cold toes. From the other hand, the way you feel could be related to depression. For this reason, I recommend consulting with a psychiatrist for a careful evaluation of your situation. An antidepressant could help improve the way you feel, make you more optimistic. Besides, antidepressants are a good treatment option for chronic pain and neuropathy pain. Pregabalin could also be a good treatment option for neuropathy. I would also advise performing HbA1C levels and make the proper changes to your anti-diabetic therapy. Hope you will find this answer helpful! Best wishes,

Yes. Recently, Ive had 3 blood tests showing low WBCs and some other abnormal counts. I sometimes take pamabrom when I feel bloated. Could this cause leukopenia and neutropenia? Im also definitely iron-deficient/anemic and that is being treated. The low WBCs is still a mystery, though.
|
Hi, dear. I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. There are many causes of low WBC count. Even simple viral infection, typhoid, malaria can lead to low WBC count. If you have any symptoms then consult your doctor and take treatment accordingly. If you don't have any symptoms then no need to worry at all. Your Chat Doctor. 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, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You have lung cancer and you are taking chemotherapy. Your tiredness, fatigue, hair loss, stomach pain all are due to side effects of chemotherapy like carbonation. It is very common and expected side effects. No need to worry about that. Just be relaxed. 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.

Hello,I have a small area slightly to the left of my belly button that is tender and sore, but only when pushed on. (I discovered it when I leaned over to reach for something and the counter put some pressure on my abdomen. No other symptoms but it is pretty tender.
|
Hello and thanks for your question. It is possibly a small hernia or a cyst. Hernias are separations in the abdominal muscles and a small piece of bowel can push through especially when you put pressure on the abdomen like when you bend over or cough. Cysts are small fluid filled structures that can turn up anywhere. Neither one of these are dangerous but if the pain becomes severe you would need to see a doctor right away. Best to see your doctor soon to confirm the diagnosis. Thanks for using Chat Doctor.

my mother has bone tb since last ten years and has the treatment from our doctor but not satisfactory,However she has high BP,Thyroid and swelling in her both legs and also has knees problem. Now please suggest what to do? I live in Kanpur city right now and want a best doctor here.
|
Hello, As post diagnosis of the TB of bone one needs to undergo the medicine for the TB to control the progression of the condition. Which will be taken care of by the orthopedist for sure. There is a principle of management to work behind TB bone and most of the doctors will work the same pattern without any modifications. Also, she needs to be treated for her high blood pressure, thyroid and swelling as well. Because these systems may lead to additional symptoms apart from the TB bone. So having medicine to correct those symptoms is also advised. Use stocking to correct the swelling and diuretic to control the high blood pressure and swelling. Due to TB bone and other added pathologies, there will be a weakness of the body and its muscles. Doing simple passive or active exercise will help improve the circulation and also the metabolism which will help the absorption of the medicine to be better to have its effects to be optimum. Be optimized and work on a multidirectional way to help your mother. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Jay In Chat Doctor.

Im 63 with asthma, usually well controlled. Dev dry cough for 2-3 last week. Called my pulmonary doc who put me on Z pack last Fri. Phegm was creamy yellow. By Sat pm had low grade fever up to 100.6 by Sun pm. By Mon phlegm was brownish Called pulmonary doc back on Mon- he switched me to Ceftin 500 2X day. Today is Wed and fever has been gone since yesterday morning. Feeling much better. Energy returning. QUESTION is: Is it safe for me to have dinner tomorrow (Thurs evening) with friend who is having chemo for breast cancer. I will have been on anitbiotic (seftin) since Mon night following 3 days on Z pack. Coughing is now minimal. Can you advise?
|
Hi, If you are recovering from cough with septum and fever then it is good but need to continue the full course as per your pulmonologist advise. Now there is no question of dietary restrictions with anyone despite he or she is on chemotherapy or not. Yes if you still feel not completely comfortable then you can have soft diet only for another couple of days and continue with your asthma medication. Thanks

I wonder if I took about 1/2 a teaspoon a week of Cheratussin cough syrup (contains codeine) for my intractable chest congestion, (from allergies) if it would be okay. I ve tried multiple things, mucinex, antihist., humidifiers, etc. and none of them begin to work as well as the cherrarussin. I know its addictive and bad to take long term. But I have no addictions, and I would not get addicted.

I fell on my elbow and forearm. Its been about 2 hours. At first it was just pain. Then it seemed to lessen. But then I was not able to use any strength. And now I can t extend it completely and I can t bend it more than halfway. There is no bruising, but a little swelling around the elbow on the forearm. it doesn t hurt when it stays bent halfway. But when I turn my wrist outward it hurts. What should I do?
|
Hi, Thank you for providing the brief history of you. As you mentioned you had a fall on elbow, and it was swollen, and now after 2 hours the situation is you can't move your elbow, I will strongly recommend to undergo an X-ray, never neglect the smallest injury, as it may become bigger any day in the future. Getting treated on time is the first step to better health. Prevention is better than cure. I hope you will understand this, as you can get help better. RegardsJay In Chat Doctor.

Hi,Im 18 now and my wisdom tooth has only just stared to grown and show a little bit but just recently from the pain of the wisdom tooth growing i started to chew the skin on the inside of my mouth over the sore gum on top of the wisdom tooth and this has caused my skin to stretch a little out over my wisdom and molar teeth. So every time i eat, smile or talk i end up biting the skin over my teeth which causes extreme pain and also my wisdom tooth seems to grow normally but there is a bit of sore gum on the side of my wisdom tooththat i havent chewed or bitten which is causing lots of pain when i touch it and doesnt feel right. Shall i see my dentist regarding this or is this normal with wisdome teeth growth? Thank you.
|
Hello, Thanks for consulting ChatDoctorRead your query as you have sore gum around wisdom tooth don't be worried so many sore gums is due to erupting wisdom tooth this is due to Pericoronotis. I will suggest you to do warm saline rinses 2 -3 times a day, and you can apply gum paint on sore gums. If your pain and soreness persists you should consult oral surgeon for curettage and oral prophylaxis. Hope this will help you.

my son is 10 years old and had 2 knots come up one on the side of his face close to the bottom of his ear and the other one at thebottom of his face close to his throat. What could this be and do we need to be concerned. They both are sore to the touch.
|
Hello! Welcome to Chat Doctor. These are most likely enlarged lymph nodes. Commonly due to some infection in oral cavity, these nodes enlarge. Inflammatory process in them causes pain. In my clinic, I look for source of infection & if found, removed. Antibiotics are prescribed and if there is no obvious source, FNAC - fine needle aspiration cytology of the lump is done. Treatment is done accordingly. Hope this helps. Wish you healthy life. Thanks. Regards.

Hi S. Nagarajan, I am sorry for the situation your son is in. As he is having wheezing problems for the months of December and January, it might be due to upper respiratory tract infections during these months of winter. I advise consulting with a pediatrician pulmonologist to rule out pulmonary issues. Next, I advise running blood tests to check for deficiency of it. D and/or anemia. Hope it was of help!

I have just recently had a baby boy who was also born with an enlarged tongue but we are still waiting for tests too be done.

Hi. Good day. Im trying to find some information. On my top gum, by my teeth (between my two front teeth), it seems to be swollen. Also on the roof of my mouth there are some swellings and two white dots. I used a treatment called Bonjela. i have noticed this for two days now and Im really trying to find out about this before anything serious happens. Thank you in advance.
|
Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query. The lump swollen gums can be because of the gum infection. The swelling and white spot on the roof the mouth can be secondary to tooth or gum infection forming an abscess. Consult an oral physician and get a radiograph done to rule out tooth infer ton. If there is tooth infection, then it has to be treated with RCT. If there is a gum infection then the teeth has to be cleaned. Msanwhile you can take a course of antibiotics like penicillin and metronidazole combination(if you are not allergic) after consulting the physician.I hope my answer will help you, take care.

at the end of June I had what i thought was a bladder infection, I took an antifbotic for it, then I thought I had thrush which they say i didnt have but gave me a one dose antibotic for that but now I have a white tongue and my innner lower lip is red and feels burnt all the time, what could it be?
|
Hello, This is Chat Doctor. Thank you for posting your question to Chat Doctor. I agree with tour doctors, that the signs you have is oral thrush. It has typical signs how you describe it and usually comes after using an antibiotic. Generally it's not confirmed by labs when we decide to start treatment, but from signs and history we start with the treatment. If I was your caring doctor I would recommend to use fluconazole 100-200 mg orally once daily for 7-14 days, because it is the first line of treatment. Other advises I would give are to wash dentures in an antiseptic such as chlorhexidine and good oral hygiene such as tooth brushing, routine dentistry, and denture care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can help with something else. Take care

Hi doctor,My daughter is 1 month and 26 days old. Her birth weight was 3.05 kg. Her current weight is 4.4 kg. She spits the milk after burping also. She has been diagnosed with laryngomalacia. I wanted to know whether it a matter of concern or not.
|
Hi. The current weight of the child is absolutely normal according to the birth weight of the child. There is no need to worry about this. Babies often spit very little amount of milk after feeding even after burping, this is a normal thing. If it is problematic, then the weight of the child does not increase. Since the weight of the child is normal according to age, I think this is normal and we should not worry about this. Also working should be done for around 10 minutes for effective results. Laryngomalacia is a condition in which the muscles of the larynx are weak and as a result, there is stridor sound during breathing. This is not a serious issue. Laryngomalacia usually gets corrected around eight months of age. Sometimes calcium levels are low which can result in stridor like sound, so calcium level should be done in the child. If low, then calcium needs to be started.

Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor, I m Chat Doctor. L5-S1 disc left paracentral- foraminal extrusion causes compression of the nerve root of S1 which supplies the lower part of leg. Presently you have to take rest, gradually start physiotherapy according to your consultant. Modify the sitting and working posture. Your numbness will go automatically but gradually. Don't rely too much on painkiller tablet as it is not the solution. Exercise is must for you, never ignore it in your rest of life. You will have good quality of life Thanking you.

Hi I was a pulmonary embolism and DVT patient last year..after my treatment in fortis delhi and months of taking medication (acitrom) , I just topped taking it as I was adviced by the cardiologist to stop after 6months (I have had numerous ct scans and was told in my final meeting i.e 3months after the incidence that I need to take acitrom with varying dosage depend on my iNR which had to be kept btw 2 and 3) . I am a student doing preparations at home and have to sit for 1 or 2 hours continuous (not any longer)but I have started some excersicing and walk sometimes.. ever since I have had the illness even 30 minutes of sitting on a cushioned chair becomes problematic on my bottom (right buttock more often) and I would have to do stretching time and again.Now after stopping the medication and continuing witb the trend of sitting for 1 or 2 hour daily with exercising and stretching, during brisk walking my right thigh gets exhausted easily and I feel a temporary soreness , just like after a strenuous exercise..but it goes away on resting.So my question is, has the clot formed again? On my own I have again started taking acitrom with ecosprin , as I am fed up of going to the doctor again spending thousands in mri and lakhs in treatment.Please help
|
Hello dear, thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your situation and problem. No, your symptoms are not suggestive of clot formation again. So you should not take citron and esprit without confirming. Because these Chat Doctor. This bleeding can be life-threatening. So you should not take citron and esprit without reports. Your current problem is mostly due to spine related cause due to prolonged sitting. Prolonged sitting in bad posture can cause spine problems and similar symptoms. So consult orthopedic doctor for this. Stop citron and esprit.

hi suffering with my kidneys the last week, i was getting dull aches on and off, sometime i feel the urinate but dont need to go. the pain has become more persistent and has been with me all day now i also feel quite fatigue. anyone have any advice. it would be much appreciated.
|
Thank you for choosing ChatDoctorI understand the pain you must be in. I think that you have a Urinary Tract infection, or you have a kidney infection. I think that you need to see a Doctor to get to the cause. There are several causes for this. To diagnose a UTI, you will need to check your Urine for the levels of white blood cells in the body. This will help you get to the cause. On microscopy, you can discover bacteria and the white blood cells. If these are raised, you will be able to know that you have UTI. To treat the UTI, you will need to start on antibiotics. These antibiotics will help you recover from it. Follow up after 4 days. All the best. Hope this helps you. Chat Doctor.

Hello, I was just released from the hospital after a blackout. I have severe MVP and so, even medicated, these are pretty frequent. My concern is that right after I came to, my face and limbs were numb and tingly . Its gone for the most part, but my right arm is still pretty near useless. Its difficult to move my fingers and it feels asleep . I landed on my left side when I went down and the hospital provided no answers.
|
Welcome to Chat Doctor I have gone through your query and understand your concern. Your fingers numbness and tingling can be any pressure of nerves in the neck. You are advised to go for MRI of cervical spine. You can also go for echocardiogram for circulation issues. What is your BP. Mecobalamin can be useful in treatment of tingling and numbness. Analgesic such as ibuprofen is useful in pain relief. 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.

Hi, my baby (now 9 weeks old) has been suffering from painful wind and bowel movements. I have to sit with her massaging her tummy on the left side which sometimes help. She has intermittent but frequent pain. Its exhausting for her and me. I combine feed her but sure she had it when I exclusively BF her. She has soft but bitty yellow poo which has been smelling vile sometimes. Doctor has prescribed calpol and lactulose but this doesnt seem to be helping. She can scream whether very watery of soft. Some weeks ago I noticed white mucus coming out a couple of times and think that was when she seemed she had diarrhoea. Please help

Hello, This is called evening colic and is quite common in this age group. This happens when the baby sucks at the breast very fast and in eagerness to Chat Doctor. Unless the air comes out like burping or flatus this discomfort will be there and next time check if the baby is sucking too fast and gulping in air too. You will be more convinced. Usually I don't advice any medicines for this as they give only temporary relief. The two best ways to relieve this distress is:1. Do not put the baby in lying position after feeding till the baby burps out the swallowed air.2. If still crying, put the baby in prone position and keep patting the back gently so that the baby passes off the flatus and gets relieved. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

I had an IUI done on the 6th of this month and I have been having alot of pain on the left side and I took a home pregnancy test on Monday and it came out negative but I also have been having heartburn and nausea and Im not sure if I could be pregnant or if it is something else going on with me.
|
Hi, Thanks for writing to Chat Doctor.Sometimes it takes time for implantation up to 6 to 12 days after fertilization. And to become UPT positive 1 wk after implementation. I would suggest you to repeat up tone wk later. One more possibility is after GUI you will be put on progesterone tablets. This progesterone causes side effects like weakness, nausea, abdominal pain mimicking pregnancy symptoms. If you have not conceived this time then these symptoms will subside once you stop progesterone tablets. They come in name of duphastone or sustain brand names. Hope I have been helpful. Regards Chat Doctor.

I had a tooth pulled 5 days ago. The pain was lessening up until last night it began to hurt again. Its controled by regular aspirin but is uncomfortable. I had to work the day of extraction and three days after long shifts. Is this pain normal. I can still see something on the hole (was red then a white covering and now is like a grey)
|
Hello, Thank you for consulting with Chat Doctor. Actually when a tooth is removed you should continue with the antibiotics and painkillers for 5 days and even follow the instructions given by the doctor. If you have followed all the instructions then pain might get relieved after 5 days. But as in your case, it looks that due to exertion the socket is not healing properly and that is why pain is present, there is a possibility of Chat Doctor. Better to visit your dentist again and get it treated. Hope it will help you.

What is the cause of Peripheral Neuropathy, and what is a persons life span that has it in feet and legs? I have no balance, and no Diabetes. Toes have little or no movement, lower legs are ice cold during daytime and very hot when sleeping at night (causing restlessness) this has been ongoing for 4-5 yrs. It ends at my knees. Will this go any further in my body? Was a very active and high level tennis player. Outside activities included biking, boating, walking, and tennis. Cannot do any of these things now, and it is stressful. Is there an answer???????
|
Hi, Thanks for your query. Peripheral Neuropathy is a condition caused by damage to the peripheral nervous system [most commonly seen in diabetic patients]. The reason may be due to deficiency of nutrients or due to vascular compromise or due to any pressure effect.1. So you can take multi vitamin supplements consisting of pyridoxine, methyl calamine with pregabalin. This supplements will help you in the prevention of symptoms. 2. Along with these you need to have nutritious diet consisting of fruits and green leafy vegetables and more fluids3. Daily out door exercises (150 min per week). I do hope that you have found something helpful, and I will be glad to answer any further query. Take care

Hello, I have a 6 week old baby whos tongue had a white coating on it her first few weeks of life. Her Dr. said it was a coating of milk. Now, it has changed and appears green. She also cries now in the middle of every feeding. Thought it was gas but now Im beginning to think her tongue may actually be hurting. She is formula fed, by the way. Id appreciate your thoughts. Im calling the doctor for another appt. in the morning. Thanks!
|
Hi. Thanks for the query. As per your question white coating on tongue in an infant does not seem like Milk retaining over tongue but seems like fungal infection known as Oral Thrush and can be commonly due to premature immunity in infants. The change in color from white to greenish can be due to chromogenic bacteria(color producing bacteria) that is causing greenish color of the coating. I would suggest you to consult a Periodontist and get evaluated and for Thrush he/she can advise antifungal Oral Chat Doctor. . Hope this helps. Regards.

I lost a baby over 5months ago now, but had my first depo injection 3months ago. Since the same day of the depo I have spotted blood some little some more heavy but only spotting. It made me sick to the point I couldn t eat without being sick etc and I always bleed during sex. My injection is due to run out. From the last time I had sex though the spotting has stopped completely and now I am constantly needing the toilet. My lower tummy the muscles feel like I have a pins and needles sensation especially underneath my belly button. Is it possible I may be pregnant? I have red many forums though that women of all ages have said it messes up the body and can give you fake symptoms of all kinds. Would you be able to shed some light on this please?
|
Hello, Depot shot is very much effective in preventing unwanted pregnancy and to be taken once in 3 months. It has failure rate less than 0.3 per HWY. But there has several side effects like irregular period/ spotting including long time amenorrhea, prolonged infertility after discontinuation, wt change, headache, abdominal discomfort etc. You may do a USG lower abdomen, thyroid profile, LH/FSH to rule out underlying pathology if any. Consult with your doctor and take suggestive measures. Take Tab Chat Doctor. Avoid stress, take healthy diet,

l have cronic back pain due to having six back surgeries. The last being an anterior, posterior fusion of L3,L4,L5;S1. 10 years ago. I have an interior pump that delivers 16mg of morphine daily. Now about four weeks ago my right thigh begin to swell and hurt almost like a tooth ache thobbing but it gets mors painful if I put pressure on lt. like to press toes down or pull them up. the swelling eases up but never goes away. also he thigh is not tender to the touch. any ideas
|
Hi, thank you for providing the brief history of you. As you have swelling and also undergone surgeries of spinal fusion in the past, this could be related to that as well. Even vascular insufficiency is one of the other factor to look forward with. Trying out physical therapy should help you strengthen the muscles of the core as well the lower limbs which will ease swelling as well. In my clinical practice such cases of past spinal surgeries face such issue, and they respond well to physical therapyregardsJay In Chat Doctor.

A few months ago I started noticing a sore tailbone and sometimes feeling like there is rash in that same area. Now when I have to do a bm it feels like there is an extreme amount of pressure in that spot. Pressure feeling goes away once I go to bathroom.
|
Hello! Welcome on Chat Doctor! Regarding your concern, I would explain that your symptoms could be related to inflammation or an infection in this region. That is why, I would recommend consulting with a surgeon for a physical exam and performing a chest X-Ray study of this region. Inflammation tests (complete blood count, ESR, PCR) are also needed. Hope you will find this answer helpful! Best wishes,

It started less than a year ago with cluster headaches. The headaches then changed to burst of pain that would blur my vision and cause such pain that I would be kind of out it for a few moments. They never lasted very long. Since the last burst which, thank God, has been over a month ago, my head is numb on the right side. I am having vertigo and numbness in my head, right side and back. At times I lose my thoughts, confusion sets in or forget in the middle of something what I was going to say or do. I even went to step out my door to my house which has a couple of steps down and its like my brain forgot to tell my feet to step down. I almost fell flat on my face.
|
Hi, Cluster headaches are awful...possibly worst headaches known to man. The other headaches you are describing are most likely a form of dysautonomia as well and could be a slightly atypical hemicrania continuum since the numbness overhead seems constant. There are many things you can do for clusters and headaches in that family which are referred to as trigeminal autonomic cephalic (TAC). You need to find a headache specialist or a neurologist very well versed and who really makes it a passion to treat and manage headaches. Do not settle for someone who really doesn't wish to really approach these to find out what's at the root of your headaches if possible and then, offer you legit treatments that have a chance of working. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

i`m taking ciproflaxacin with paracetamol, my tummy feels heavy(i need home remedis to stop this), and can you tell me how the combination helps with PID(ultrasound-related)
|
Hi Tricia;Thanks for choosing Chat Doctor Ciprofloxacin is a broad spectrum antibiotic & paracetamol is an analgesic. These medicines have been prescribed by your doctor for PID (pelvic inflammatory disease). The name itself suggests that there is inflammation in pelvis whicChatDoctores because of infection, so it is necessary to take antibiotic to cure the disease. If you have heaviness in stomach after taking these medicines it could be because of hyperacidity so either you can take an antacid or home remedy will be to take these medicines with a glass of milk to avoid acidity.

Hello and welcome to ask a doctor service. I reviewed your query and here is my answer. Do you have his tests reports and ultrasound reports? How much is his blood urea and creatinine? What does ultrasound report say? If it is confirmed that he has got kidneys failure, then I am afraid to say that he will have to go through dialysis the rest of his life until you do kidney transplant. Hope I answered your query. But please ask more with further elaboration, about what you want to know exactly? Thanks.

Hi, My query is about an oral yeast infection which is like a white coating on the back of my tongue , also the tip of my tongue is quiet painful with small bumps. My GP has given me Nystatin tablets and Daktarin oral gel which I have been using for 2 weeks with only a slight improvement, but the condition appears to be very stubborn. I also have developed a slimy feeling in my mouth causing me to spit out saliva that is slimy. I would value your opinion. Thank you. Kind Regards Maxine Inglis
|
Dear friend. Thanks for sharing your concern. You have developed oral candidiasis. That is fungal infection of candida Africans. Are you on steroids, or taking prolonged antibiotic? Xerostomia and poor oral hygiene conditions predispose to oral candidiasis. For this I would recommend, rxtab fluconazole 150 mg once daily. Topical application of statin is also helpful. Take plenty of fluids, keep yourself HY Chat Doctor. Maintain very good oral hygiene. I hope this helps.thanks.

When I touch just bellow my knee cap (left), I feel a sensation to my anterior tibialis. Almost as though a string under my skin is connecting to two areas. When I kneel, however, it sends a shooting burning pain through the muscle (anterior tibialis) that takes about 30sec to 1 min to fade away. When my leg is at rest portion of that muscle feels numb. What could this be?
|
Hello, I have studied your case. Your symptoms look like a nerve compression, but there is no such nerve in that region. I would suggest you to visit an orthopedic doctor and get it examined. Sometimes there can be compression on nearby nerve. If your doctor thinks it is nerve related then he can get nerve compression studies like EMG/CV. If there is doubt about nerve pathology then blood sugar and vitamin B 12 estimation can also be done. Meanwhile, you can take Pregabalin M tablet at nighttime. I hope this answer will be useful for you. Let me know if there is any other followup questions. Thanks

I thnk I have a recurrence of CFS (my body is drained after minor exertion), but am a little worried by a loss of power in my hands. I can t do delicate things, nor can I do things that need strength, such as opening a jar. This has been going on for a fortnight.
|
Hi, Sudden loss of strength occurs because of derangement of nerve supply to the muscles. It may occur at any level from brain to very junction of the muscles with the nerves. Sometimes, myopathy (pathology of muscles) itself may present as sudden weakness, but muscle coordination remains intact in case of myopathy. You need to get muscle charting done along with blood investigations focusing on markers of inflammation and myopathy. Only after this, we can reach a diagnosis. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
