hello doctor, My query is for a dermatologist. my 2 months old baby have got dark complexion...right now, i m using almond oil for her body massage and himalaya baby soap for her bath(she z taking breast feed)...but i don t find any significant difference in her skin tone... I belong to southern part of India. So, i want you to suggest any baby oil ,baby lotion or baby soap to improve her complexion. Thanks

Hi Dear, Welcome to Chat Doctor. Understanding your concern. As per your query your baby have dark complexion, and you want to get it improved. Well if it is genetic chances of getting fair complexion are less. I would suggest you to :- - Apply baby cream or gel containing atelier acid twice a day, which is a natural product obtained from cereals and is save alternative.- Apply sunscreen while going outside to protect your skin from sun exposure which can cause further damage.- Exfoliate your skin once a week. If condition persist after one month then consult dermatologist. Doctor may recommend antibiotic cream or antioxidants friendly to babies skin. Hope your concern has been resolved. Get Well Soon. Best Wishes,

Hi I took next choice pill may 29-30 normal period was may 37-June 2 . After I took pill I spotted from June 3-6 and from June 7-12 bled like a period. Was due for reg period June 26 I m a week late. Not preg Urine said neg but now I m worried. Was my bleeding from pill? And When will I have a norm period ?
|
Hallow Dear, Next Choice pill contains a Progestational preparation named Levonorgestrel. After consuming the pill, some with Chat Doctor. Nothing to worry about it. Furthermore, Levonorgestrel may delay the period up to one week or so. If you had taken the pills within 72 hours of the unprotected sexual intercourse, you need not be worried about this delay also. Wait for few days; you will get the period. However, you may opt for pregnancy test on overnight first morning urine sample one week after the missed period. Alternatively you can go for Beta Chat Doctor test which is reliable even few days before missed period. This will relieve you of the stress. I hope this resolves your doubt about the bleeding and delayed menses.

Hi there! 27 years old. I am trying to conceive. I stopped my contraceptive pills in February 2011, but the only problem is that I used to take Jasmine so that I could get my period and now that I have stopped it, my period just never returned. I dont think I am ovulating aswell. Is there any medication that I can use or anything that I can do to get pregnant fast. Regards Louise
|
Hi dear, I have gone through your question and understand your concerns. Delayed or no periods at all is indicative of an ovulation and decreased ovarian activity. Conception is very difficult if there is no ovulation and the ovarian activity is decreased. I will suggest you to consult an infertility specialist to get properly examined, investigated including ultrasound and hormonal profile and get treated accordingly. Hope you found the answer helpful. Wishing you good health. Chat Doctor.

I am a 22 year old female and I have pain throughout my stomach and it helps when I eat sometimes but not all the time. Tums doesnt help either. I have normal Bowel movements and urination but the pain makes me sick to my stomach and makes me want to vomit. I had uncontrollable itching for about 9 months and it stoped about a 3 weeks ago with the help of clobetasol propionate ointment. Usp, 0.05%. I still ich a little sometimes but not as bad Its just one problem after another and I need help!

Hello! Welcome to Chat Doctor ! The abdominal pain when relieved after food and nausea is in favor of a peptic ulcer. If your food habits were irregular or too spicy, or you have a lot of stress, this could be a possibility. There are other possible causes too like chronic hepatitis, colitis, etc. And the itching need not necessarily be related to the abdominal pain. Itching can accompany abdominal pain in a hepatitis. It can also be due to an unrelated problem - fungal infections of the skin, Chat Doctor. So kindly get evaluated thoroughly and see to that you get a liver function test and hepatitis screening to rule out liver pathologies. Hope you get well soon! Take care!

elloThanks for query. Severe pain in groin could be due to either Inguinal Hernia or acute infection of the spermatic cord (Funicullitis)or Epididymis (Epididymitis)However this can be confirmed only on clinical examination by a qualified general Surgeon and ultrasound scanning of abdomen and pelvis In the meanwhile take broad spectrum antibiotic like Lifetime along with anti-inflammatory Chat Doctor.

Hi, It would appear from your description of the paralysis and medications that you suffered a stroke in 2012. You've not really said much about how you are currently doing, but my guess is that things are stable. After 7 years from a stroke the paralyzed portions of the body will have reached a stable point of recovery. Medication wise, it would appear that your doctor is covering you for the correct and adequate items that could cause problems in the future such as cholesterol, and it also appears he is giving you some type of supplementation for good health of the brain tissue itself. I might recommend your doctor look into your B12 and vitamin D levels in the bloodstream. Those 2 things are very important to good nerve health following a stroke. I would talk to the doctor about doing blood work and looking for B12 levels that are no less than 450 and D levels that are 60-80. Otherwise, the balance of your medication list appears to be quite reasonable and I'd suggest it continue. You may also benefit from some form of personal REHABILITATION EXERCISE therapy depending on how paralyzed the right side may be and if your speech and language have been affected you may be able to benefit from speech therapy as well if you never had any in 2012. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

I had a blood test done last November and my calcium blood test came back 10.8. I guess the standard range is 8.4-10.6. I have had another follow up test but I do not know what the value is . I m going on Monday to a specialist in Ames for this. Is this something I should be very concerned with?
|
Hello, your levels are not that high and sometimes technical reasons may cause it. A repeat measurement is needed. Measuring the parathyroid hormone would be very helpful as well to estimate the risk for a parathyroid adenoid, which is a common cause of mild hyperkalemia. Also, have you been using anything that has an effect on calcium like supplements, Chat Doctor. I hope I've helped! If you'd like more information, please let me know. I'll be glad to answer. Kind Regards!

My husband has cirrhosis not related to alcohol. He is now in palitive care. Although his health has declined in the last months, I don t think that he is at the end of his life. He was diagnosed one year ago and told that it took at least 15 years for his liver to become this damaged. Last September he was given 4 to 6 weeks to live. I don t know what to think as far as his life expectancy is concerned. He has been taken off of all meds except rimaxifin and Lactulose and a water pill. What should Ii expect in terms of life expectancy? I know this sounds harsh but I m trying to come to terms with this disease.
|
Hi, Ive gone through your question and understand your concern. Once cirrhosis develops, only symptomatic management can be done. Continue these 2 medications to avoid constipation. Restrict salt intake to 2-3 grams and restrict proteins intake, i.e. avoid pulses, meat, milk & milk products. Because protein restriction is needed to avoid complications of cirrhosis. You can give him juices and vegetables soup. Well, liver transplant is another option, but your husband may not be fit for surgery. You can ask your local physician regarding transplant. I hope, my answer helps you.

My blood pressure is 147/70. The higher reading is in the hypertension range but the low is in the good range, my resting pulse was 47 bpm. I run / swim 4-5 times per week, eat a low fat diet with loads of veg and fruit and never add salt to food, dont smoke and drink lightly. I has been like this for some time. Do I need to worry!
|
Hi thanks for asking question in Chat Doctor. With advancing age elasticity of artery decreases, so chances of essential hypertension. You just have to keep on doing regular exercise along with dietary measures you are taking. Keep your diet with low salt. Keep on continue these all measures for few days. If still with lifestyle modification BP cant controlled then Chat Doctor. But just now don't use

HelloThanks for your query. I will try my best to provide you with the best possible professional recommendations to your questions. As you have child Chat Doctor.

my daughter is 4.10 years old.looks like 3.5 and weight is 15kh. she has distended abdomen.doctors believe she has metabolic lever disorder.sugar level drops if she does not eat any thing for 7-8 hrs. She had nose bleed. but now her blood does not stop so easily. platelets count ok.hb=10 sgpt=54
|
Hello, Yes, it could be metabolic liver disease. A distended abdomen may be fluid in abdomen, seen in liver disease. Bleeding may occur due to deranged PT/INR, a test and function of liver, which may lead to bleeding. I suggest you a battery of test as ultrasound abdomen, complete Liver function test, alpha photo protein, and repeated blood sugar. Further tests are based on reports of these tests. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Hi Thanks for using Chat Doctor Forum, There is no need to worry. Anxiety and Stress can lead to many problems. I advise you to do an X-Ray PUB to rule out mild stone formation in the Kidney as per your symptoms. Kidney stone if found for less than 5Β mm it will pass away in urine in few weeks by Chat Doctor. Urgency to pass urine and low back pain is also a symptom leading to Kidney stone. I advise you to do the examination to start treatment at the earliest. I Hope I Provided Useful Information. Do ask Further Questions to help You get well soon. Regards

Hi, I just found out that my son has Chiari Malformation. He was in a car accident when he was in the ER the doctor gave him an MRI. My wife came back from the follow up appointment and told me that they discovered that he had type 1. One of my biggest concerns is his eye sight. His vision to me seems to me getting progressively worse.
|
I read your question and I understand your concern. I must say though that Chiara malformation doesn't affect vision. It does not involve any of the brain structures whicChatDoctorpose the visual pathways. Actually I wouldn't be surprised if the finding was an incidental one, not related to the accident but already present for a long time. So unless there is some other finding that you don't mention in the MRI you should look elsewhere rather than the brain for the cause of eyesight reduction, a visit to the eye doctor is what I would recommend. I hope to have been of help.

Hi my name is Brad I am 36 years old. 5 11 ... 215 lbs. I have a swollen area just below my knee on the inside of my right leg. It s about an inch and a half in diameter. It s white and hurts occasionally. I have had it about 2 weeks. What could this be?
|
Hello, Looks like there is a knee injury in the soft tissue at the internal structures. Need an MRI to help assess more. As your weight is too high for having good pressure over the knee joint and can lead to a ligament injury and symptoms like pain and swelling. Using knee cap, diet modification, regular aerobic exercise without troubling the knee joint should help yield good results. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Maybe....I have a lot of health issues. I take a lot of medications for migraines, kidneys disorder, 4 herniated discs, complex partial seizures, major depressive disorder, severe anxiety disorder with panic attacks, and various gastritis issues .My teeth : 4 from the front on the top right side, an d 5th & 6th upper teeth from the from are completely disintegrating. It is extremely painful because nerve ending are exposed and food gets trapped. I think it could be a combination of all the medication and my gastric condition which causes me the throw up bile on a regular bases could be the cause. It hurt tremendously to brush my teeth, I spit out a lot of blood, and usually little shards of teeth. Do I call my dentist or to I need an oral surgeon. I am just in pain. Please advise....
|
Thanks for sharing your concern with Chat Doctor .! Please note, based on your detailed explanation. We can understand that you are suffering with multiple teeth damage. Which may require a pool of treatment, which includes Root Canal Treatment for treating exposed nerve endings ad also patients who are on Anti-Epileptic Chat Doctor. Please consult your dentist immediately, who can plan the step wise treatment plan for you. I have handled many cases similar to your condition the only difference is while treating patients with seizures require more controlled treatment approach. Regards

It is causing pain in my back, chest, and between my shoulder blades up the back of my neck and i feel miserable. it is not a constant pain but it comes and goes in waves. I have already taken prilosec otc. I was diagnosed with gerd about three years ago after an upper gi.
|
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Your current symptoms are mostly due to HERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease) you are having. HERD is due to laxity of gastroesophageal sphincter. Because of this the acid of the stomach tends to come up in the esophagus and cause symptoms of bloating (bubble feeling), gaseous distention, burping, belching etc. You are taking Prilosec (pantoprazole). Along with this, you need to follow these lifestyle modifications for better symptomatic relief. 1. Avoid stress and tension. 2. Avoid hot and spicy food. 3. Avoid large meals, instead take frequent small meals. 4. Quit alcohol and smoking if you have these habits. 5. Keep 2-3 pillows under head in bed to prevent reflux. Don't worry, you will be alright with all these. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.

hi im 50yrs old lady ht 5.6cm wt 72 kg abit overweight . i have severe back ache and pain in both hips and legs like sciatica .MRI done showing disc desiccation in t4-t5 and surgeon advised me surgery as acccording to him no use of physiotherapy or medicines but im afraid as most people after surgery have the same problem .help me what to do and is walking ok in disc problem .Thanks
|
Back pain with pain radiating to limbs the first line of treatment is medications and physiotherapy, but if the pain persists, and it is due to disc herniation which is not subsided with physiotherapy and medication then surgery(disc removal) is required. If the disc herniation is left untreated you might later develop neurological defects like numbness of limbs and weakness of muscles. If the pain is due to disc herniation then post surgery pain will subside but recurrence of back pain due to disc herniation at different level is always a possibility. Now answer to your question-1)considering your age if you have not started on physiotherapy then start physiotherapy and painkiller, if pain subsides then continue physiotherapy. If pain persists then it is advisable to undergo surgery.2) walking is ok if you have only disc herniation without spinal instability, but not prolonged walking nor prolonged standing.

Hi, I woke up this morning and went to the bathroom. I started having stomach cramps and had to sit down on the toilet. I then started to feel incredibly weak and started seeing black and white. During this I was sweating and both my hands and feet were shivering. My face colour changed to pale and looked yellow. I have never had this before and I am 17.
|
Hello. Severe pain and stomach cramps can cause a pathology called vasovagal syncope whose manifestations are what you refer (weakness, blurred vision, sweating, facial pallor). Vasovagal syncope is not important pathology, but you should go to your doctor, as soon as possible, to examine you and assess about your stomach cramps and establish diagnosis and treatment.

Hello, You may have some periodontal disease. Rinse with warm salt water. Make sure nothing is stuck under your gum. Practice good oral hygiene with brushing, rinsing and flossing. Gently massage gum area. You can cause strain to the periodontal ligament that holds the root onto the bone socket when you incise. Please avoid chewing and stress to this area. Take some anti-inflammatory medication for pain relief and to reduce any accompanying inflammation. Medications include Tylenol and Advil. Keep well HY Chat Doctor. Prescription rinses with chlorhexdine gluconate may be helpful to healing. Schedule a dental exam and cleaning. Can you see tartar buildup on your teeth? There may be sublingual tartar buildup. Your dentist will probe your gums and evaluate for periodontal disease. Gingivitis can have swollen gums with increased probings. Periodontal disease will include bone loss and additional treatment recommendations. Maintain routine dental visit at least two times a year. Thank you for your inquiry. I hope my suggestions are helpful and offer you some relief.

I am a 19 year old boy approaching 20. 1.83m talk. I have a great medical history. I have never been admitted to hospital or any other facility. The problem i have is over masturbation. I started to do it on the year 2002 now i find it hard to stop please help
|
HelloThanks for query. It is natural for a man to masturbate at the age of adolescence. It is one of the safest mode to fulfill desire of sexual satisfaction without getting in to physical intimacy with female. It has no side effect on body or any organ.However, addiction to frequent masturbation does lead to sexual problems related to erection and ejaculation in later life.hence one has to restrict the frequency of masturbation. Please note that there is no medicine that can help to reduce frequency of masturbation, It requires self-determination Try to reduce the frequency of masturbation by keeping yourself busy in activities like sports, reading, social work etc. so that you will not get free time to masturbate.

Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You may have folliculitis or cyst or skin adnexal tumor. You should go examination first.

hi, my son is suffering with ITP for the last 2 years. he is just 3yrs old. initially drs prescribed Ivig ing and steroids. platelet count did not increased beyond 15000. then reffered to heamatology drs and they put him on dapson for 9 months. no increase in platelet count. then he was on steroids and azithioprine 50mg a day. after 1 month steroids tappered down and stopped. no improvemnts in platelet count even after 1year azithiaprine treatment. drs now suggesting spleenectomy to the 3 year old boy. is it a suitable option?
|
Thanx for posting query. Yes splenectomy is one of the options in case of chronic it pas in your case .but there are certain other things related to this. In case the child develops severe bleeding manifestations then emergency splenectomy has to be done .and if this is not the case and the child is stable then it is a wise option to wait till at least 5 year of age and then take a call depending upon the platelet count at that time. Till that time you get your child vaccinated against some of the disease that are more common after splenectomy and take care of the child to prevent any injury while playing.

Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns. Unofortunately, this is serious conditions and such large tumors can't be treated surgically or with liver transplantation. Only chemotherapy is advisable, but it has limited success, and may just slow the progression for few weeks with no other benefits. Unfortunately, the diseases is incurable and unstoppable.

I was just getting my nails done at a nail salon and I passed out Im not sure if it was from the fumes I had my father check my blood sugar an hour later it was 142 should I be checked for diabetes Was having a work party all I had to eat was to rice crispy treats and a piece of bacon Plus I have a bad head cold
|
Hello. Thanks for the query. On the basis of the reports you have told me, diabetes is unlikely. The sugars should have been either much lower, or very much higher. Still, it is always a good idea to test for diabetes. Testing with FBS PPBS HbA1C may help. Getting a cardiac and neurological check up to rule out arrhythmia, TIA and seizures is more essential, if the sugar tests are normal. Let us know the reports for further details. ChatDoctor

My father had a open heart surgery a few weeks ago and he has a pus accumulation in the middle of his chest. This is along the area which was cut open for the surgery. He now has developed high fever overnight and also has some body pains. What has to be done now?
|
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. In my opinion your father is having SSI (Surgical Site Infection). It is a type of complication seen post operative. It is due to bacterial infection either due to poor stick care or due to poor immunity of the patient. Diabetes need to be rule out first. So get done Hb1Ac (Glycosylated Hemoglobin) to rule out Diabetes. Pus is formed mostly by mixed infection (aerobic and anaerobic). So get done culture from pus and sensitivity for guiding antibiotic therapy. He needs at least 21 days of antibiotics.

Pls help!
|
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. In my opinion you should not worry much about cancer. In my opinion, mostly you are having chronic urinary tract infection, resistant to routine antibiotics. So better to get done urinary culture and sensitivity. If this is normal than lumbar spine pathology can be the cause. May be chronic macro ileitis or osteomyelitis. So get done MRI of lumbosacral spine. And no need to feel depressed, you will be alright.

Hi, Sperm are regularly produced in our body along with fluids secreted from glands like prostate seminal vesicle etc. it becomes semen. So if it is produced regularly it should be discharged regularly from body by sexual intercourse and manually through masturbation otherwise it comes out during nightfall. Now masturbation does not cause weakness or defect in sexual organ (energy lost is almost similar to doing other activity in muscle contraction n relaxation). It gives pleasure during act of masturbation and later calmness which is thought as weakness. Your height and weight are normal. So in my opinion you don't require supplementing any diet if you are taking balanced diet. Hope this will help. For any queries feel free to ask. THANKS N REGARDS

Otherwise I am healthy. So, should I worry about my mantaux report??

Hello, thank you for your contact to Chat Doctor. If I am your doctor I suggest you that manitou test is not a diagnostic test. It is a prognostic test. It s positivity indicates that you are allergic to tuberculin protein. Furthermore, it does not mean you have tuberculosis. Furthermore, it is positive of other conditions also. But you should be investigated for sputum for ZN stain. If you want to know anything else you can contact me. Thank you. Chat Doctor. Infectious disease specialist.

|
Hi, It is not clear to me what makes you worry about possibility of pancreatic cancer. Anyway, pancreatic cancer often have vague gastrointestinal symptoms. As almost every report came as normal in your case no organic disease can be suspected right now. For your information pancreatic cancer can be diagnosed on the basis of pancreatic protocol CT scan. Your present investigation and symptoms not in favor of pancreatic cancer. Follow your doctors advise.

Hi, I m coming up 25 weeks pregnant and I keep getting nose bleeds and I feel really down most of the time. Also my appetite has suppressed quite a bit, I never had a huge appetite before I got pregnant, but it did get bigger and I did eat a fair bit, now it s just like I m never hungry.
|
Hi dear, I have gone through your question and understand your concerns. Nose bleeding can occur in pregnancy as nasal stuffiness and vascularity increases in pregnancy, leading to bleeding from the nose. Decreased appetite can be due to enlarging uterus pressing upon the stomach. I would suggest you to consult an ENT specialist to get properly examined, investigated and treated accordingly. Hope you found the answer helpful. Wishing you good health. Chat Doctor.

I had a hair removal wax treatment for the first time yesterday and have had an allergic reaction. The reaction has only occured in areas where a post treatment oil was applied. Affected areas are itchy and some small red lumps have appeared. I am using calomine lotion as a topical treatment. Will pseodoephedrine help? It is the only antihistamine I have at hand.
|
Hi, Thanks for writing your query. You should wash the affected area thoroughly. Pseudocode Chat Doctor. You should take antihistamines medicine like Fenofexadine or Cetirizine for relief. Application of Calamine lotion will help in decreasing the itching sensation, but local application of steroid cream will be more beneficial. You should get yourself examined clinically at the Emergency Department and take the appropriate medicine. Donor apply the post-wax treatment oil in the future, as your skin is sensitive to it. I hope this is helpful to you. Thanks.

As you have washed the vaginal secretion with the water even if you have a cut in finger the chance of getting HIV will be very less.

hello, I am from Romania,my name is Alice and I have an 8 months old baby girl with major convergent strabismus.

A few minutes after the surgery the eyes were alliagned but after 2 days they begin to crooss again.The doctor told me that the fnal result can be seen after 2 months. It is usual that the eyes not to look straight after the surgery? Is it possible to reallign and be like after the surgery?
|
Dear parent. I understand your concerns but the surgery success rate ranges from 30_80%. As the eye muscle surgery is not a brain surgery. The brain is the main control of the eye muscle movement. So cutting and moving the eye muscles will not automatically change the brain signals to the eye muscles. That is why patients often go back to deviation after surgery. The surgery usually improve cosmetic appearance but not the vision

I have a hard lump on right side lower jaw just above where my lower teeth finish, I went to a dentist they said it was my glands, I then went to my doctor and he said it was a stone in my glands had antibiotics and still there, got refered to ent and she said she don t think it is a stone and I m currently waiting to have a ultra sound and is getting worrying now??
|
Hi. Can understand your concern. As per your complaint a lump on the jaw can be due to a number of reasons and also depends upon the time duration for which they are present. A lump can be due to an infected tooth leading to pus formation near the root tips leading to formation of a lump (Dental abscess) as pus accumulates in the soft tissues. In this case treatment of the tooth either by root canal treatment or extraction can be done. It can also be due to a blocked salivary gland duct leading to back flow of saliva into the gland and appears as a swelling just below the jawline as well as in the floor of the mouth. It can also be due to inflamed lymph nodes due to infection in any part of the body and the lymph carries the infection along with it to the distant lymph nodes. It can also be cyst (jaw cyst, sebaceous cyst) or a tumor. In few long-standing cases it can be a cancerous lump too. I would suggest you to wait till the ultrasound report is given and need not to pain as the jaw lump can be most commonly due to non-cancerous causes and can be nothing serious. Treatment can be planned only after the diagnosis is confirmed. Hope your query is solved. If you find the answer helpful please write a positive review and click on find this answer helpful as a token of appreciation. Thanks and regards. Chat Doctor.

Hi, Thanks for writing in. Efudex is a strong medication and to be used only with doctors prescription. Fluorouracil belongs to a class of medications known as anti-metabolites. It works by blocking the growth of abnormal cells that cause the skin condition. Fluorouracil belongs to a class of medications known as anti-metabolites.

I have been struggling with chest pain for 7 months now. I have asthma and have been through many tests including EKG, echo, blood gas, stress test, and most recently colonoscopy and endoscopy. My condition seems to worsen everyday, but nothing is showing up on these tests. I have an appointment with pulmonary doc on the 2nd. Just really concerned and it seems like I can t get any help at the ER.
|
Hi, thanks for using Chat Doctor Chest pain can occur from any structure in the chest from the skin inwards. This means it can originate from the skin, muscles, bones, heart, lungs, esophagus. The ECG, echo and stress tests would have been able to identify any problems with the heart and the endoscopy would have assessed the esophagus and stomach. This means that the pain may be from one of the other areas mentioned. The pulmonary doctor should be able to determine if it is related to the lungs. I hope this helps

I feel out of breath and my left arm goes numb and i feel pins and needles on my face and arm. What could this be?
|
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. By your history and description, possibility of stress and anxiety related HERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease) is more. But better to get done ECG and 2d echo first today rule out heart diseases. If both these are normal then no need to worry about heart diseases. Stress and anxiety cause laxity of gastroesophageal sphincter. Because of this the acid of the stomach tends to come up in the esophagus and cause symptoms of chest pain, tightness, vomiting etc. So avoid stress and tension, be relaxed and calm down. Consult psychiatrist and get done counselling sessions. Try to identify stressor in your life and start working on its solution. You may need anxiolytic Chat Doctor. For HERD, take pantoprazole and risperidone tablet on empty stomach. Don't worry, you will be alright with all these. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.

I have trouble walking, siting or any activity. what can I do pleas help. my left side ribs are sticking out threw my back my muscles are so tight its pulling my nerves what are my options. I live in Wisconsin.
|
Hello, I have gone through your query and understand your concern. I think they are asking you to wear a brace and sit for many hours. We used to recommend the Braces for the Scoliosis initially, and it is also compulsory to wear to minimize the scoliosis. Usually we do not recommend surgery for scoliosis less than 50 degrees. As your scoliosis is just 23 degrees, you do not need surgery. You can be well managed with conservative management like braces. I understand you may have trouble in walking, siting etc. But it is common in scoliosis patients. If you feel some discomfort with brace, just ask your doctor to change the brace and try another kind of brace. If still the nerve pain is worse and debilitating, then you may go for surgery. Usual surgical option is fusion of vertebra. Hope this helps. Please write back for further queries. Wishing you good health.

Hi, Unfortunately surgery is the only option to recover. The more delay you have in getting surgery done, the lesser the chances of having a good prognosis. The medications like Pregabalin and Gabapentin can only afford a temporary relief. Surgery is the definite thing, but recovery depends on the degree of damage to the nerves and the amount of spared cord. I would highly suggest you to come to terms with the surgery and inquire about more details from your physician.

hi...My absolute Eosinophil count is 592. I have continous sneezing for more than 7 times every day. sometimes i feel like some worms in my nose.so i always rub my nose hardly. I went to a ENT hospital yesterday, they taken lung test,blood test,x-rays in skull and chest. in this test i have no issue in lung,chest.after they saw skull x-ray they said u have slightly sinus. After that they gave Alerfix tablet and they said its alergy problem. so can u say how to reduce eosinophil count naturally. Can we reduce eosinophil count by daily exercise.
|
Hi, Thanks for your query, Eosinophil count is not that much raised. If you have this sort of symptom frequently, you may have allergic rhinitis. You may continue this Alex for 3 months along with a nasal spray e.g. fluticasone nasal spray for equal period. Since in allergic rhinitis, 50% have concomitant asthma, please go for simple breathing test called spirometry with reversibility testing to have an idea of asthma...BEST WISHES

I have a painful lump in my pelvic area by the crease on my right leg. It hurts when pressed on &its maybe the size of a gobstopper. I do shave that area.Im 17 years old.I am sexually active and have had only one partner.I am very worried it may be something of concern..
|
Hello! Thank you for the query. If the lump has appeared in the area when you do shave, hair follicle inflammation is the most probable reason. Due to hair shaving, sometimes bacteria get into hair follicle. This causes pus accumulation and abscess formation. Such abscess is very painful and hard. The best treatment of such lump is an incision and pus Chat Doctor. I suggest you to consult a surgeon. Hope this will help. Regards.

Hi We live in Bay area , california. My parents from india got Osteofit-c for knee pain. Now we are running out of medication. Instead of getting it from Inida, Is there any equivalent over the counter medication available for replacement of Osteofit-c. Thanks, Rubini
|
Hello, For knee pain, there are medicines which a physician can prescribe based in the clinical examination. Taking alternatives may not be advised as due to medical reasons. If your parents have knee pain than I suspect they're in ageing, and taking medicine without physician advice may not sound good. Because later on the mistake can be put on others head easily. Since the medicine is over, why not trying doing hot water fermentation, using knee brace and exercises. Physical therapy has been effective in knee pains in aging patients. Sorry to not guide for medicines, but I will only be able to mention exercises here. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Jay In Chat Doctor.

I have recently finished treated for a grade 3, left breast cancer with lymphatic involvement, sectional removal, lymphatic clearance, chemo 6 1/2 months, radiotherapy 6 weeks of 5 times a week. I was very fit at the commencement of apparently fairly aggressive chemotherapy, as I was told there was a chance of metastases. Diagnosed feb 27 2013, 56 years old. I am a positive person and have been involved in the medical profession. I have noticed a lump just above my left groin, no pain and intermittent. I attend the gym twice a week and do sport twice a week with no pain in this area. I assume it is nothing to be concerned about in regard to cancer !
|
Hi. Sorry to know the history but happy to know you are positive and careful treatment you have undergone. The area you suggested is the rarest site to develop secondary of Ca breast. At least not heard of or seen to have lymph node involvement at this level. Somehow I have a feeling this is either a lymph node due to local area infection or a hernia or so. Your Surgeon can ell you more on clinical examination and ultrasonography and FNAC if needed.

Dear user, Thanks for writing to Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern regarding safety/harmful effects of masturbation. Masturbation is a normal sexual activity. Masturbation is similar to sexual intercourse for penis. What penis does in vagina during sexual intercourse, same it does during masturbation in your folded palm! This is a natural activity and I would say a healthy activity and does not either affect or deter sexual performance. If you feel pleasure and sexual satisfaction after masturbation, no need to be worried about. No need to control. No need to feel guilt. Wish you good health.

I ve been having anxiety for the past 7 months and recently I ve been getting mild headaches and weird sensations all over my head. I also get these weird feelings like numb-like waves that happen only for like 2 seconds. I also have tension around my neck and back/chest on the left side of my body. I really hope it s nothing really serious...
|
Earle understand your concerns went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. I sincerely opine that these could be signs of anxiety and apprehension. These could arise out of obsession also. 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. I sincerely think, you need expert medical / psychological advise. Please consult a psychologist. 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.

Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor. Based on the information provided by you, the breast lump could be a Fibroadenoma or fibrotic disease. Fibroadenoma is benign swelling which moves freely with in the breast tissue and is usually pains and often requires no treatment. Fibrotic disease is usually seen in women in their 30s and present as a painful mass which does not move freely in breast tissue. It presents as pain during menstruation (Cyclical Nostalgia). You have not mentioned anything about pain in the swelling during menstruation. The possibility of fibrotic disease can be ruled out as you are 22 and you don't have any pain. So, the breast lump you have is a Fibroadenoma. FNAC does not remove the swelling. FNAC is a test where some sample of the lump is taken through the needle and tested to know what type of swelling. Evian Capsules contain vitamin E and you can take them without any doubt. You need no special precautions and just stop worrying. Please get the FNAC done and if it turns out to be fibroadenoma, you do not need any surgery. Surgery in Fibroadenoma is required only when the lump is too big and causes mass effects. Hope you got my point. Take Care

I m having diarrhea right now with stomach pain/cramps. I m ok with the constant bowel movement and I m willing to wait it out. It s the stomach pain that I want to get rid of. How do I do that without impeding bowel movement? I mean, I would prefer to constant bowel movement so that whatever is causing the diarrhea will be flushed out.

Hi. Thank you for your question. Let me ensure that you are fine and need not panic. There can be a lot of causes leading to such symptoms. The commonest one being bacterial infection of Intestine. I generally advice following to my patients:1)Antibiotic course preferably with Norfloxacin and Metronidazole for 5 days.2)Adequate diet.3)Oral Rehydration Solution to be taken frequently. Hope I answered your questions. Wish you a healthy life, Chat Doctor.

My mother is suffering from hypertension and her TSH levels are also high. Last week after performing some tests it was found that her creatinine level is 2.1 and mild proteinurea(+). On USG left kidney size 9.64 cm and right kidney is 8.65 cm and there is partial loss of cortico-medullary echoes. Can we plz tell the problem and treatment plan??
|
The creatinine is higher, most probably it is due to hypertension related kidney injury (USG and s crest suggest early stages of chronic kidney disease), likewise kidney problems itself will result in higher blood pressure, triggering a vicious cycle. Because the medication he is on is not available, I suggest you to consult a nephrologist or your doctor and review your meds as decreasing proteinuria should be a priority. Also, TSH on higher side suggest s hypothyroidism, which would require supplementation of thyroxine

Hello doctor,I was recommended by my cardiologist for a heart valve replacement surgery as my latest echocardiogram results, both transthoracic (TTE) and transesophageal (TEE), revealed that my mitral valve prolapse had worsened. The diagnosis was severe eccentric MR. However, during the latest TTE scan, the radiographer who did the scan said that my regurgitation was only moderate. I find this very confusing and was wondering if MVP is a reversible condition. No current medications.
|
Hello. First of all, the severity of MR (mitral regurgitation) will be correctly deciphered by your cardiologist. An eccentric type of MR is actually a grade higher than what it looks. Like your radiologist may think it is moderate but it is severe, but because of its eccentric nature, it looks lesser than what it is. The second thing is, why are you not on any medicine yet? You should be on ACE (angiotensin-converting enzyme) inhibitors and diuretics. If you have symptoms like breathlessness, these medicines will relieve that and prevent heart events too. If you have symptoms and your heart chamber size increases, then you should go for MVR (mitral valve replacement). If a prolapse is worsening, then it will not reverse. For more information consult a cardiologist online Take care.

Hello doctor,My distal phalanx of the left-hand middle finger is broken (complete and open fracture) along with nail bed injury five months ago. As of now, I was feeling some abnormal activities at the fracture site.

Hi there! My mom didn t sleep well last night, and as we are sitting on the couch her left side is constantly gurgling. Very loud, consistent. It s definitely not in her stomach, but more in her left chest area. She had her kidney removed in October, has HOCM, and a valve problem. Is this something to be concerned about? Thank you!
|
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your mothers situation and problem. In my opinion, you should immediately take her to cardiologist. Since she is known case of HOC (hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy) and valvular heart diseases, possibility of worsening of underlying disease is more for her chest sound. She is also having difficulty in sleeping. This is mostly due to heart failure. So consult cardiologist immediately and get done clinical examination, ECG and 2d echo. She needs urgent treatment. Hope I have solved your query. Wishing good health to your mother. Thanks.

|
Hi, If performs rupture as such doesn't warrant surgery. Treatment of rupture depends on symptoms and difficulty you have. If you are suspecting performs rupture, diagnosis can be confirmed by MRI of the MRI of the involved hip. Detailed clinical Examination can also aid in diagnosis. If pain is severe you can take tab Attract P twice a day for pain relief. Visit to orthopedic surgeon is recommended. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Hi, Thanks for asking. Based on your query, my opinion is as follows.1. 9.6 go is mild anemia. Not to worry.2. Improved diet intake along with supplements is necessary. If the type of anemia is not unknown, Iron and It B12 supplements would be helpful.3. Followup after 15 days with reticulocyte count will be helpful for evaluation of bone marrow response. Ideal value will be around 13-14g% for you. Improvement should be complete within two months. Hope it helps. Any further queries, happy to help again.

Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. Your wife has low EBC count. There are many causes of low WBC count. Even viral infection can lead to low WBC count. You should investigate first. If needed go for bone marrow examination. First find the cause and take treatment accordingly.

Hello, thanks for sharing your problem. Sorry to hear about your problem but as such torn frenulum should not cause any kind of problems except pain. I've seen so many such cases who present with torn frenulum following violent usage. You can do one thing, wait for the thing to settle down or Get a small surgery done. Circumcision. This can completely solve your problem forever, and you can be tension free. I strongly recommend that you get a circumcision done. There are absolutely no side effects or complications associated. We do a lot of such surgeries. So choose what's best for you and get back to me in case you need any further assistance. Take care. It was nice to help you.

hello doc. i m 20 yr old boy. 4 days ago first i masturbate, all sperms were on my hand, then i press her breast with my hands and then after 5 or 6 min later, i touch the vagina of my girl friend. then around after 26 hour she took half of i-pill( she is 19).. is there a chance of pregnancy???
|
Hello dairy understand your concerns touching the vagina by hand does not cause pregnancy in your case. To become pregnant full penetrative sexual intercourse or intercourse up to vaginal opening is required.Also, I pill was taken with in 26 hours. It is around 85% effective in preventing the pregnancy. So I think there is no chance of the pregnancy. But period can be earlier/delayed (for 1-2 week) and with excessive bleeding. Avoid stress, take healthy diet, Chat Doctor. Use condom in future to prevent unwanted pregnancy. Hope this may help noncontact further if follow up needed Best regards

Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You may have some soft tissue tumor or bone tumor. You should go for x-ray first. Then if needed go for biopsy of that lump.

I m 16 and I had a seizure during the summer and face planted into a door and the floor. I scratched my forehead and was going in and out of consciousness for a while. Now I m forgetting a lot of stuff and I keep having progressive migraines that have been happening every day. Should I be worried, my mom won t take me to the hospital to be checked. Should I worry about my health further deteriorating
|
Hello! Welcome and thank you for asking on Chat Doctor! Regarding your concern, I would explain that your symptoms could be related to a brain lesion. From the other hand the fact that you have had a seizure followed by a head trauma, raises suspicions of possible intracranial bleeding (like delayed subdural hemorrhage, etc.). The progressive deterioration in your clinical situation is really concerning. So, I would recommend consulting with a neurologist for a careful neurological exam and performing some tests: - a brain CT scan- an EEG-complete blood count- PCR, sedimentation rate for inflammation - thyroid hormone levels. A brain MRI may be needed. Hope to have been helpful! Greetings,

I have a ganglion cyst on my inner right wrist and I recently went to the doctor. He said that the only way for it to be gone is by doing surgery, due to the artery/vein that s near the cyst. I researched about this and I saw that I can smash or pop this stubborn thing with a Bible (it said it was cured that way) or a heavy book, but not as hard as if I were going to break my wrist. So, uh.. Tell me doc, can I save money and do the Bible Bash?
|
Ganglion cyst is collection of fluid/ viscous material near the tendon sheath or joint, it is because of the friction of tendon in the tendon sheath, the cyst like material will be gone once you press it but it again reaccumulates, i would recommend surgery if it is really bothering you, i.e. if you are having any pain or difficulty in doing activities, or if it is of cosmetic significance if not I will recommend leaving it alone, ganglion cyst go away if you smash or pop, but it again comes back because of the friction between tendon and its sheath, the only way for cure is surgery if it really bothers.

Hi.... By what you quote I feel what your kid could be having viral associated wheeze or multi triggered wheeze. I have a few questions for you -Questions:1. How many days per month does she cough or feel breathless?2. How many nights per month does her sleep get disturbed due to above symptoms?3. Does she feel breathless when she runs around or plays with other kids?4. Are the symptoms when there are seasonal changes?5. Is there any family history of asthma or any other sort of allergies like skin allergy etc.?6. Is the cough always associated with fever? If your answer is yes for any of the above questions, your kid might be having viral associated wheezing or multi triggered wheezing, and I suggest you meet a pediatric pulmonologist who is near your place.

|
Hello, Thank you for asking at Chat Doctor. I went through your history and would like to make suggestions for you as follows:1. I would like to know more about your symptoms like whether you have recurring nose allergies, nose obstruction, sinus symptoms, stress, etc. From your given history, I would think of 3 possibilities:a. It may be obstructive sleep apnea, usually due to nose obstruction due to allergic rhinitis, sinusitis, etc. or some other obstruction in upper respiratory airway. In that case, I would suggest you to get examined by a ENT specialist who will examine your nose from inside and may identify the cause.b. It may be gastroesophageal reflux causing choking at night. As you have acidity, this is also a possible cause. In that case, I would suggest you to take an antacid like sanitizing daily before meals for at least 4 weeks.c. It may be night terrors, especially if stress is a problem for you. In that case, relaxation and consulting a psychologist may help you. 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 ahead. Thank you & Regards.

Hi, Thanks for your query. What you are experiencing is called Radiculopathy. It basically suggests entrapment of a nerve root in your cervical spine in its origin or course. It is somehow not so uncommon now in younger population, and we like to call it industrial neck pain, since its predilection towards people working in computer related industry. It can be caused by lifting weights, episodes of over-exertion during work, long hours on computer, inappropriate posture while sleeping or sitting, lack of proper nutrition-exercises-rest-recreation or any other relevant past medical history. If it has been persistent or even increasing since few days, you need to visit your orthopaedician. Depending upon the clinical findings they might ask you to get an MRI done, which shall help establish a diagnosis and in turn allow one to formulate a treatment plan. I do hope that you have found something helpful, and I will be glad to answer any further query. Take care

Hi I m 16 years old I ve been dipping tobacco for maybe about a month now I ve noticed I have a small painless lump below my ear lobe that is kind of going away now.

Also today I noticed I have little bumps on the top and bottom of my lips it kind of feels like a rash almost. Today is my first day quitting I haven t put a lip in at all today.

Hi, dear. I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. Your lump in the ear lobe is not related to quitting smoking. It may be sebaceous cyst. You just need excision biopsy of that lump. Consult your doctor and take treatment accordingly. Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer.

Hello doctor,My doctor suggested me to have cognitive testing for my problems with memory and concentration. I also cry for no reason. I was let go from work for making too many mistakes and forgetting tasks. I cannot get over that. I feel I will not be able to find other work because I have Lupus SLE arthritis and fibromyalgia. I am really depressed and crying constantly. Currently I am on Wellbutrin for anxiety, Plaquenil for lupus, Procardia for Raynaud\s, Lialda for colitis, Lisinopril for high blood pressure and Alendronate for arthritis. I have been taking the same medication for the past six years. Please help me.

Hello. I can understand your concern. The symptoms like forgetfulness, lack of focus, poor concentration, memory issues, etc., are seen commonly in depression and should be evaluated properly. You have mentioned that you also cry for no reasons and you are 53 years old. It is not very common to have dementia at this age. Secondly, memory impairment in dementia start with memory issues in day-to-day thing. Mood symptoms, crying, focus issues, etc., are seen commonly in late stage of dementia.

Hello and I hope I can help you today. You do not need to worry sir-there is no chance of pregnancy from oral sex. A woman can only get pregnant if semen gets inside her vagina or very close to the opening. I hope this reassures you and that your girlfriend feels better. She is probably ill from something else, and please let her know it is not possible for her to be pregnant if she is worried about it.

Hi, Welcome. This is Chat Doctor. The symptoms you are telling could be because of your heart condition. Gastritis or heart burn does not increase on exercise & it can occur on rest too. I would recommend against doing excessive treadmill now & would advise you for doing Tread Mill under ECG monitoring (Tread Mill Test) which can rule out cardiac condition if any. If that is negative, you can safely continue your treadmill. Come back if you need more help. Thanks

Hello, theoretically if all the blockages have been scented and the pumping of the heart is normal, with the prescribed medication she can fly with no added risk. However, as you said it was an urgent procedure, I presume that she had a heart attack in Peru, now in such circumstances all the complications are more common during first 5 -7t days.

Hi, Dear Thanks for the query to Chat Doctor virtual Clinic. I studied your query with available details given in your query. I understood your health concerns. Cause for the lump on the chest-From the limited facts and limited story of your query, It's very difficult to comment on the lump you had. Only with a history of bang which is questionable in itself, as you don't remember it, only possibility appears to be either -strong hit on the chest with skin blister pealing off the lump on the chest above breast, or it could be after the unnoticed bug bite with a blister appearing on the lump which pealed on 2nd or 3rd day. Treatment would be-To consult an ER Surgeon and get the X-ray / USG done to understand the bony or soft tissue status to understand the nature of the damage done by that unknown bite or bang/hit.-Antibiotic skin cream to protect any infection-Tab Motrin 1 x 2 times for reducing any inflammation or tissue edema.-light padded surgical Chat Doctor. -If no relief, Tomophobe introducing tissue hematoma, if need be.Don't Self-treat or medicate in your case as the case may go in to further complications. Hope this reply would resolve your query and would help you to plan treatment with your doctor. Hope this would relieve of your health concerns. Welcome for any further query in this regard before final suggestions are given in your query. Wishing you fast recovery. Have a good day.

My grand daughter was born 10 days ago. She is feeding well, has no skin problems. Before leaving the hospital, the doctors strictly instructed not to start oil massage until she is 40 days old, whereas in our time, oil massage used to be started within a week of birth. Please advise what is the right time to start oil massage.
|
Thanks for asking I have gone through your question and understand your concern, There is clear-cut guideline for message. But as baby come in this world, she has to accommodate many things. Like she has to feed, breath her self, and many things other thing her self. I think it takes about 1 month to accommodate her. As she starts having good weight gain,.I have seen many newborns after message gone for very deep sleep, that many cause of concern to both parents and pediatrician. So I not see any problem if her massage delayed for 40 days. Hope I answer your query.

My 10 year old has developed a rash that started 3 days ago..I gave him zyrtec and that seemed to work ok..tonight it seems to be everywhere..trunk, limbs, back, groin, face..treated him with benadryl with no effect..no other symptoms according to him. Do we need to take him to the ED or just treat??

Child Chat Doctor. Gurgle with lukewarm water is the best treatment. Irrespective of the cause or treatment with antibiotics it takes 5-7 days to recover. In fact, antibiotics like amoxicillin cause rashes if it is caused due to Epstein Barr Virus. So, I would not recommend use of antibiotics. Zyrtec is an antiallergic and should be helpful. About the rashes, you first need to remove the amoxicillin and wait. Still you can visit the ED (emergency department) just to be on the safer side.

Hello, Thanks for your query. It seems you are suffering from degenerative disc disease & it occurs due to repetitive overload or stress to the disc & it increases the risk of disc herniation & spinal canal stenosis. The main treatment of such pain is bed rest along with painkillers and muscle relaxants. Muscle relaxants can help with your symptoms if used in appropriate dosage in combination with a potent analgesic. You can get the appropriate Chat Doctor. Meanwhile, you can follow these measures:- If the pain is severe, you need bed rest till the pain resolves. - Get some analgesics prescribed and apply analgesic spray or ointments.- While resting, keep a pillow under your knees if it doesn't bother you.- Avoid lifting heavy objects.- Back strengthening exercises and stretching exercises daily as advised by a Physiotherapist.- Avoid exercises in times of pain. - Improvise your posture while sitting do hope that you have found something helpful, and I will be glad to answer any further query. Take care

my seven year old son with history of emesis (diagonosed at 3 with mild sensory integration). He has been vomitting off and on more often in the last month. sometimes all day large amounts. went to pedi who ordered an upper gi scheduled for tomorrow. He hasnt stooled in a couple of days, regularly is very regular. my pedi thinks it is just severe reflux but even on prevacid twice a day he continues to throw up. Im concerned that he may have an obstruction?
|
Hi, Thank you for posting on Chat Doctor, I understand your concern, According to the history you have given the nemesis is a bit unlikely due to persistent reflux as in which gastric content is not large and not very forceful ejection. Because he has not passed stool for a couple of days It's very crucial to exclude any obstruction as you have already thought of. In kids with sensory integration issues its common to have intestinal problems than others. I recommend your kid to have barium studies of small intestine and colonoscopy test. Hope the answer is useful. If you need any more you are welcome to ask.

Dear doctor, I am a 35 year old male with chronic dull abdominal pain. I am skinny fat, 5 71/2 and 125 lbs. I have been suffering from this condition for the past 5-6 years. I have seen a doctor over this issue a few years back but nothing came out of it. He did all sorts of tests, no stomach or intestinal ulcer, no gas trouble, no appendicitis, no stomach or intestinal worm, no hepatitis or lacerations within stomach or intestines, no presence of helicobacter pylori . He did a barium test. Stool test and blood test came clean. At the end he gave me some medication related to stress (I think, based on the info on the leaflet found within the drug case) which i discarded as I found it amusing that he would treat me for stress when I was having trouble with my abdomen and stopped seeing him. Also ECG results came -ve. The dull pain doesn t affect me during daily life. Only when i press my belly i feel it. When I eat, after some time I feel my belly to be throbbing as if my heart is in my belly. I did my own research online and found my condition closest to Chronic functional abdominal pain. I don t suffer from bouts of diarrhea or vomiting or pass blood in stool. I don t feel any pain during bowel movement and I have one every day. I went without gluten once for a few months, it felt slightly better but the dull pain didn t end, i.e it has no effect whether I have gluten in my diet or not, i get the same throbbing sensation some time after I eat. Looking forward to your diagnosis

Hello! Thank you for asking on Chat Doctor! I understand your concern. Your symptoms seem to be related to irritable bowel syn Chat Doctor. It is known that stress can worsen the situation. So the doctor who wanted to treat you for stress has not been wrong. This is not a life-threatening condition. All the tests result normal, like in your situation. Much about the condition remains unknown or poorly understood; however, dietary changes(more fibers and avoid caffeine and spicy food),

Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor . Along with ferry I suggest you to go for GUI. It is intrauterine ingestion of sperms. In this the sperms are washed and processed, and healthy sperms are placed in uterus. This will increase chances of pregnancy .once you start ovulating normally your cycles will regularize. Be stress-free. No treatment for infertility give 100% results. They increase chances of conception. Hope I have been helpful. Regards Chat Doctor.

Yes we were involved in a accident were a truck plunged in our living room tire spinning on couch produced a thick white smoke that filled house in seconds we were exposed to this n still living in home which turns our stomachs dizziness and hurts our lungs how bad could this be.
|
Hello dear, thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your situation and problem. Burnt rubber smoke can cause lung damage through inhalation. It depends on duration of exposure, amount of smoke in the room and ventilation of room. In your case, I don't think it will cause much damage to your lungs. Acute bronchitis is the most immediate complication of it. But you are not having coughing or wheezing with shortness of breath, so this is less likely. So better not to worry much for lung damage.

I have a dog who had 7 puppies inside our home. We put them in the laundry room about the size of a restroom. After the puppies got 2-3 months old they were pooping and peeing at 1st on puppy pads but as they grew there was so much excrement in there it made my eyes burn and took my breath but while in there I kept the door shut and the longer i stayed in there the more difficult simple tasks became and I had an episode where I stayed in there at the end of a long day of going back and forth I stayed shut in there for 3 hours because i became confused and too tired to move. Can that cause confusion and hallucinations and after 911 came and ran oxygen for a while I cleared up and I want to know can being shut up in there with no fresh or moving air cause that? Can it cause further damage?
|
Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor. Thanks for your query. Unless you have been in a completely closed room, totally shut off from any air supply for a few hours together, it sounds improbable that the incident of staying in that room could have caused you hallucinations and confusion. Moreover, it again sounds improbable that spending some time in that room would have caused you to become immobile for 3 hours, to not be able to get out of that room. There are two things which are concerning to me. Firstly, your hallucinations, confusion, etc. which needs further evaluation. Secondly, such a scenario of harboring such unhygienic conditions inside your house and your behavior of shutting yourself inside that room for hours also seems concerning to me. Please see a psychiatrist for a detailed evaluation and psychological assessment. Wish you all the best.

hi ive booked a doctors appoint but wanted another opion aswell. I had this for a long time but its only started to effect me more now, i find it hard to concentrate and when people are talking to me i kind of zone out and also i get confused of what to say and not knowing what to say most of the time
|
Degree understand your concerns went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. It is always good to have an expert opinion. You are supposed to refer to concentration and attention as two. Attention span for any adult is maximum 30 minutes. Sometimes, a person can be attentive to an interesting thing for more than 30 minutes, such as movies or games. Concentration is attention plus understanding. For this too, span of below 30 minutes. Your concentration level can be increased with the help of yoga, meditation and breathing exercises. 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.

|
Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You are suffering from anemia. It can be due to iron deficiency, vitamin B12 deficiency, chronic blood loss or other cause. You should search the cause of anemia first. You should go for complete blood count with indices and peripheral smear examination. If needed go for anemia profile. It will give you exact diagnosis. Then you should take treatment according to diagnosis. 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 Doctor, I have alot of conjeston in my chest for the last 15 days. I am on antibotics an I am not any better. I cough alot during the day and when I try to sleep. My Doctor says I should wait till friday to get an x-ray for phneumonia. What do think?
|
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. Signs of pneumonia are1. Fever with chills.2. Chest pain on inspiration or coughing.3. Cough with purulent expectations (sputum)4. Chest congestion, tightness, breathing difficulties etc. So if you are not getting brief from cough even after antibiotic, chest x-ray is must. Possibility of pneumonia should be ruled out first in your case. So better to get done chest x-ray and start treatment accordingly. Get done sputum culture if necessary to guide antibiotic therapy.
