HelloThanks for query. Intermittent severe pain in abdomen is mostly due to presence of impacted stone either in kidney or ureter and needs to be investigated. Please consult qualified Urologist for clinical and digital rectal examination and get following basic tests done to confirm the diagnosis.1) Urine routine and culture.2) Ultrasound scanning of abdomen and pelvis In the meanwhile take broad spectrum antibiotics like Definite along with urinary antiseptic like Nitrofurantoin twice daily and urine alkalizer thrice daily. Later on switch on to appropriate antibiotics as per culture report. Get the prescription of medicines from your family Physician. Ensure to Chat Doctor. To keep your urine dilute This will help to control dysuria. Further treatment will depend upon result of these tests and final diagnosis as regard size of the stone, site of the stone and degree of obstruction it has caused.

Hi. I think I may have very mild tonsillitis on the left side of my mouth, my glands are inflamed and it hurts when I swallow. Nothing seems to be working at soothing the pain and I cant eat anything because it hurts when I swallow. Is there any tablets you could suggest?
Hi, Thanks for posting in Chat Doctor. I understand your concern. Sore throat could be caused due to mild bacterial infection. It can affect tonsils and cause tonsillitis. It can present as difficulty and pain during swallowing. You need not worry much about it as it can be cured. Kindly take the following measures: 1. Do salt water gargling with warm water thrice a day. 2. Take Syrup containing Ambrosia and Chlorpheniramine male ate combination 5 ml thrice daily. You can wait for 3 days for the symptoms to subside. In case you don't get better, then add antibiotic Tablet. Azithromycin 500Β mg once a day for 3 days. Also, you can take medicated lozenges to achieve throat smoothness. Do not consume refrigerated items till your symptoms get better. Hope the information provided would be helpful. Wish you good health.

Hello doctor,Yesterday, I had an ultrasound of my abdomen. They gave me the report online and I am not sure how to read it. The things I am looking up are extremely worrisome. It is all saying cancer. I am going for a CT scan within a week. It is without contrast because I have myasthenia gravis and the contrast really affects my breathing. Will contrast make a huge difference? Below I have pasted the results and it says:Normal liver and gallbladder.Left renal calculus.Complex heterogeneously hypoechoic cyst in the upper pole of the left kidney for which further imaging is recommended. Also, I have been urinating almost every hour and it feels like my bladder is never empty. I have had a kidney stone four years ago. But the part about the complex cyst on my kidneys is troubling me.
Hi, Welcome to ChatDoctor. I understand your concern. So, you have a cystic lesion in the upper part of your kidney. First of all, you are only 28 years old and at your age, I would favor many benign lesions over malignant ones. If they are not talking about solid components of the lesions, it again favors benign lesion. Let them do CT (computed tomography) with i.v. (intravenous) contrast, if possible share both ultrasound images and CT images with me. One more thing, if you do not have any sign of night sweating, weight loss or redness in your urine, again malignancy risk is too low. I hope this helps.

All of my upper front teeth have become very loose. I have used a pre-brush whitening rinse for a couple of years and suspect a connection between the rinse, irritated gums, and loose teeth. Is there an alternative treatment for the loose teeth or do they all have to be pulled? Eating is very difficult at this point.
Hello, Thanks for consulting ChatDoctorRead your query as you have mobility in upper teeth this loosening can be due to periodontal problem due to bone loss. For this I will suggest you to consult Oral surgeon Periodontist for examination of mobility of teeth if they have slight mobility grade 1 or grade 2 then it can be saved by splinting or laser treatment if possible. Inmeantime do warm saline rinses and maintain good oral hygiene, use mouthwash chlorhexidine regularly. Hope this will help you.

my son is having cough and running nose since last 2-3 months. He was on course of antiabiotics twice-once it was amoxcilin and second time was on a different antibotic. Now the doctor has given Levocetirizine Dihdrochloride and Acebrophylline syrup since he thought it is because of Allegric Bronchitis and adviced to do this course for 1-2 months. After this course was started the coughing has reduced a bit in last 2-3 days but I am wondering if his coughing can be stopped completely and what could be the cause why he keeps getting this cough back every week.
Hello, I would wonder about asthma with such a long time cough. But it would be helpful to know whether there is complete clearing between episodes or not and whether you think the cough vs runny nose/congestion is the major symptom. The antibiotics were probably given to treat a sinusitis, and if so, there should have been improvement around day 3-4 or 5-6 and then continued improvement until no runny nose. Has he tried any albuterol? I don't know where you are located, but in the US we use an inhaler or nebulizer machine to blow in medicine to the lungs. We don't really use theophylline like syrups in kids anymore, although that might help if its asthma. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

My husband wakes up soaked from sweating and has chills so bad he is shaking what is wrong? He was given a flu shot and also a z pk for a cold the Dr was treating him for. Now he wakes up soaked with sweat and has the chills so bad he shakes and then he feels hot after a while
Hello, rigor is usually a sign of serious infection although sometimes viral diseases may cause it as well. Influenza is one of those diseases. Other common causes include urinary tract infections, pneumonia and cholangitis. Since he's been treated for a cold, a respiratory tract infection is the most likely cause. He should return to his doctor for an assessment. Diseases that cause rigor should be promptly diagnosed and treated. I hope I've answered your question. Please let me know if you need further assistance. Kind Chat Doctor.

Hi. I have a 15 month old child and when I was breastfeeding I developed what I assumed was a blood blister on my nipple. It is a little black mark which appeared from no-where. After 6 months of it being there I saw the doctor who referred me to a dermatologist. She had a look and said it is not a blood blister, but would like to get a second opinion, so I am currently (5 weeks later) waiting for another appointment with a different dermatologist. The dermatologist mentioned skin cancer, and breast surgery, but I think it was more a case of letting me know the worst so I would be prepared just incase. However, I also have 2 lumps in my armpit which I didnt even think to mention about. One which has been there about 8 months, and the other which has developed recently. Theyre not painful and theyre not huge, but theyre definately there. I have just in the past week stopped breastfeeding and so I am assuming the pain in my breast with the mark is down to a blocked duct or mastitis which will clear soon enough.
Welcome to Chat Doctor .1. You are right with your possible causes after the breastfeeding like ductal blockage and dilatation and inflammatory changes.2. The changes in the breast you are experiencing with a blister and lymph nodal enlargement is giving a suspicion of any breast lesion.3. In this case an ultrasound breast will be ideal - it will help in detecting the nature of the lump its source and where all extending.4. After that if required an FNAC - fine needle aspiration cytology would help to know the nature of cells.5. So get a scan done, as its more informative. Good luck with your appointment. Hope it helps you. Wish you a good health. Anything to ask ? Do not hesitate. Thank you.

I have been having really sharp stabbing pains in my abdomin but sometimes its just feels like pressure i have had it for a month now and its constant everyday but the pain comes and goes i went to the er finally and all they said was it was pain of unknown etiology i also have nausea at times. what could this possibly be?
Hi. Thanks for your query. Pain in abdomen for the last one month, which is sharp at sometimes and just a pressure feeling sometimes with nausea and Doctor saying this as of unknown etiology is not acceptable unless these are investigated properly. I would advise you the following in such pain in abdomen:-Tests of blood, urine and stool: particularly for diabetes, liver and thyroid and kidney functions.-Ultrasonography to start with and Contrast enhanced CT scan of the abdomen to confirm or rule out certain problems.-Physical examination by a Surgical Gastroenterologist still has the main place in proper diagnosis hence get a reference for it. -Upper GI Endoscopy and / or Colonoscopy as may be indicated. - In doubtful cases, I would like to do Diagnostic Laparoscopy and SOS procedure. A proper diagnosis is possible with the advent of the newer machines and once a diagnosis is done, it is just possible to have a proper treatment.

My friend has cancer and she is not eating right. She has had radiation and now she is getting ready to do chemo. Can eating right help? She is going to need plenty of energy. I ll just ask my Dr. For free thanks but no thanks. It s a price for everything even a question about someone s life. Sorry didn t mean to inquire.
Hi. Eating a healthy diet definitely help patients. It keeps body energetic and boost immunity which is otherwise compromised due to effects of chemotherapy. Patients most of the time do not feel like eating or have nausea or vomiting. Patient should be encouraged to take small but frequent meals containing nutritious foods. Hope I have answered your query. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help.

Hi the last cycle of my started at 22july she supposed to be get cycle by today, we did the urine test and it shows positive . we are confused the pregnancy line is very fade.. is she pregnant, and what should we do if do want to go with this pregnancy ???
Hello dairy understand your concernPregnancy test will give true positive result 8-10 days after the missed period. Fade line could be due to improper use of test, evaporation line, early pregnancy, I would suggest going for repeat the pregnancy test 8-10 days after the delayed period. You can also go for blood Chat Doctor test, as it is very accurate and give positive result even 10 days after the unprotected sexual intercourse. If you will be pregnant then you can still terminate the intrauterine pregnancy by the abortion pill under the supervision of the gynecologist. Avoid stress, take healthy diet, Chat Doctor.

my 8 year old son has had a fever since last wednesday (a week ago tomorrow) that has spiked as high as 104-105. We controlled it by alternating advil and tylenol every 3 hours and that was for 4 days. We took him to the Dr. on Sunday and they confirmed strep throat. The only real symptom has been this high fever, and he hasnt complained about anything else. He did vomit once and it was greenish/yellowish and looked like mucus. He is now on Amoxicillin for 10 days, and my big concern is that his fever is not going away. It has been spiking in early evening and early morning as high as 103, so weve still been giving Advil/tylenol. what do you think? could there be a secondary infection or complications because we let it go for several days before treatment?
Hi, after going through the medical history I feel that the infection is resistant to Amoxicillin. Usually fever subsides within 1 or 2 days of antibiotic therapy. Unless the bacteria is resistant, it is not possible for the fever to be going on till now. The other possibility is that an entire diagnosis has been missed altogether. Why I say this because, Street can also be cultured from healthy people who are called as carriers, and they do not have symptoms because of this. Therefore, it may be co-incidental that we identified this carrier state when he might be actually down with something else. (This is not a common scenario when compared to encountering an antibiotic resistance). So next spike of fever, Kindly take your son to ER, and it is better to get him admitted in the hospital, do blood and urine test and cultures and treat accordingly after ruling out other infectionsRegards

Yes, I have a friend that I am deeply concerned about! They use methamphetamine recreationally, and was recently diagnosed with a lung infection. The medications my friend takes is prednisone 50 mg tablets *1 a day for 3 days/ albuterol 90mcg per spray-(as needed every 6 hours) and a 5 day azithromyicin z-pack . Should I be concerned about her health in an emergent wAy? Or is she going to be okay? I ve been working on helping her be clean, and try and keep her busy with real life activities, as well as support. But I am greatly full of concern and great anxiety every time she is prescribed something. (As that adds to her meth use) please help me have some info/closure here!! Thanks!! Sincerely... A concerned friend
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. In my opinion, you should consult pulmonologist for your friend. In lung infection, steroids are not given. Steroids are actually lower the immunity and flare up the infection. Your has been given prednisone. This is oral steroid. And this should not be given in lung infection. She also needs chest x-ray to quantity infection and parts of lung involved. If infection is more or the involved lung part is larger than she may need dual antibiotics support. So better to consult pulmonologist and discuss all these. Hope I have solved your query. Wishing good health to your friend. Thanks.

Hi I have an esix retainer which I only got last week. It is causing me incredible pain but am supposed to wear it everyday. It is digging into the skin that attached my power gums to my lip and also there is a sharp edge which digs on to my upper right cheek and is causing it get infected. What can I do to ease the settling of the retainer?
Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query. The possible cause for the pressure applied by the retainer can be either it is too active and has sharp borders. If the appliance is too active, then it causes pain in the teeth and gums, ideally the retainers should be passive. Regarding the pressure applied by the retainer on the gum causing damage to the gums is because of the extra extension of the retainer and the irregular sharp edges. Consult a dental surgeon and get the retainer in a passive state and also get the edges smoothened. I hope my answer will help you, take care.

Hello, high grade fever with rash can be caused by many reasons like dengue, measles, chicken pox, viral fever and allergic reaction. Most probably the treating doctor has given antiallergic injection because if it's an allergic reaction it will subside in 1 hour. If rash don't subside then we have to look for other causes. Since, blood investigations have already been done, you should wait for the results to come. Take care.

I have had a sudden bright red rash on face and chest, taste perfume and feel really dizzy with neck ache and headache - never had it before and dont know whether to be worried or not! I have had a few strange spots lately but Im too old for spots at 36!
Hello, Thanks for the query, You might have developed acute urticaria. It is an allergic condition. Anything including food, cloth, change in climate, pollen etc. can cause urticaria. You need to find out the cause. Treatment can be with oral anti histamines. Steroids like prednisolone are also helpful but cannot be used for long. Please meet a dermatologist for exact diagnosis. Let me know if you have any other doubt. You can ask a direct question to me on this forum, following the below link.https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.ChatDoctor .com/doctors/ Chat Doctor.

had vomiting 2-13-2014 could keep nothing down, went to local family doctor, he gave me a shot of ondansetron. Then developed extremely bad cough, earth shattering, seems like that flu with cough was really effecing nw ohio. So then doctor gave me Z-pack (zithromycin), and predisone for cough 10 pills to take 2x a day for 5 days. I felt terrible, grumpy, could not sleep, words can not describe how bad I felt. I only took 7.5 of the predisone. I had a vacation of which was scheduled in January and never thought this flu would last this long, I back in oct 2013 had flu shot. So 3-21-2014 I went to local emergency room, thinking I could get codine cough syrup...but NO.............er doctor told me an x-ray was in place, it showed a couple blood spots. Upon entering er if was immediately put on wrist bands with allergy alert and of course identification, the allergy was sulfa and pennecillin. er doctor on call, not one of our regular ones, ask if I was allergic to anything I informed her as stated above affirmative. Well she insisted on amoxicillin, and I had informed her 40 years ago I broke out form amoxicillin. I should have walked out of er, but she said that before I leave I was going to take l amoxicillin. I had a terrible reaction in am aprox 8 hrs later, hands 4X size and red, I called er they told me to either come in or they would call family doctor. Doctor called me asap, told me to proceed with vacation, and take 12.5 childrens benedryl. 2 days later, ankles swelled up, rapid heart beat, short of breath, and both legs knees down beet red. Got thru 5 days, only to see my former family doctor with family boarding airplane, for I was short of breath and so thankful he was there. Two days later, I broke out on chest and back, mind u 10 calendar days after amoxicillin. So went to former doctor and got another x-ray, and cortisone shot . the rash went away. however went to get chest x-ray today and findings ....The mediastinum is unremarkable. The cardiac silhouette is enlarged. Perihilar vascular congestion is seenbilaterally. Small bilateral pleural effusions are noted. Impression: Congestive heart failure. Could you advise me of your opinion ....I have appointment scheduled on tues. of next week with doctor who ordered last x-ray. thank you
Having gone through all the information you have provided, I would have advised, to my own patients, to get support of anti-allergic herbals which will not only enhance your immunity but would also correct the problem. This herbal medicine do not have interaction with any other Chat Doctor. However, we give some gap between allopatry and herbals. For more open discussion to make decision to opt for Ayurvedic herbals in your own interest, please converse through direct question. In my clinical career of three decades, many complicated allergies have been solved by simple means and principles of Ayurveda. If you agree, please make sure you will abide by dos and don'ts of food protocols (simple ones) while taking Ayurveda medicine as advised by me or for such reason by any Ayurveda doctor. Hope it helps. Please write direct question.

My baby is 6 months now. Want to stop breast feeding gradually. Introduced lactogen 2. Baby nvr liked th taste. Tried nan pro 2. Not much dislike conparitively. But, he threw up within few minutes after drinking it. First I tried with 2oz. Reduced to 1oz. It s the same. He threw up the same amount of nan pro he consumed.
Hi...there is no specific reason why some kids throw up some specific formula feeds. But if your kid is growing well on breastfeeds, as it is 6 months now, I suggest, you continue breastfeeds for milk requirement and start solid feeds like rice based feeds. Other home-made food options will be - 1. Deal and rice well cooked and made into a oatmeal along with ghee2. Boiled apple or banana and mashed into a paste.3. Any made cereal oatmeal preparation with additional ghee added. Remember certain principles like -1. Add one food material / cereal or fruit per week. This will be useful because if he develops vomiting or diarrhea, we will know what to avoid.2. Add vegetables and fruits made into a paste surely to avoid constipation.3. Do not add too much sugar as it may cause diarrhea. Regards -

i want to know how can i take fenugreek by grinding ant i should take about half tea spoon but my mom says its not safe for ur body it may harm u internally means menstrual problems or uteriine problems and clarified ghee is it effective in breast gowth.i want my breast well developed and im of 25 age and hight is 5.5 and weight is 54.please tell me some guideline but i dnt want to use creams or pills .u tell me some home remedies.
Hello Rehang! Good to see your interest!... Well, fenugreek actually regulates menstrual problems and even powder of fenugreek can lower your blood sugar too! Anyway efficacy of the same in breast development is questionable. The best suggestions are taking tomatoes...you know the pulp in the middle of tomatoes are known to increase your breast size! Another thing is bracing exercises. Repetitions with frequent rests are known to be effective in increasing the chest width. Another small tip is wear fittings that would prevent your breasts from sagging and look better... Good luck.

Hi, i have stopped taking my 20 mg. of carbimazole as my doctor thinks i have had a viral attack on my thyroid.I stopped them two weeks ago and am not due for a blood test for 5 weeks.I am not feeling great again and have been getting hot sweats aagain what would you advise
Hello dear, Thank you for your contact to Chat Doctor. I read and understand your concern. I am Chat Doctor answering your concern. Your thyroid hormone production is increased as suggestive of sweating. It is the nature of thyroid hormone to cause excessive secretion. If hormone increases than it causes more sweating if it causes less secretion than it hormone level is down. Your viral infection must be cured in the meanwhile that's why the hormone level us increasing. I suggest you to again start with the carbimazole. It will lower down hormone and so your sweating will disappear. I will be happy to answer your further concern on bit.ly/ Chat Doctor. Thank you, ChatDoctorInfectious diseases specialist, ChatDoctor.

Hello I have studied your case, You are having gastric upset I will advise starting antacids [proton pump inhibitors like] omeprazole 20 mg twice a day. Sucralfate will protect gastric mucosa and will give protective covering. If not relieved you may need to do USG abdomen. Pain may also from renal or policy pain. Hope this answers your query.

my baby is 3 months old having loose motion 5 times a day with greenish hue wat to do what medicines should i use also suggest some home remedeis
Hello Leila;welcome to ChatDoctorIf your baby is 3 months old then I guess he will be just on breastfeed so in that case to pass stools as many times as he takes feeding will be normal for him. But just in case your baby is on top feed or is crying and uncomfortable during passing stools then there may be infection.

Hi, may I answGood Evening Sir. This is Surendra from Chittoor., Andhra pradesh. Sir, I have been suffering from Hepatitis B since March 2009.Sir could you please give me suggestions to cure this disease. Also refer me some good doctors who can provide good treatment near to chittoor district. Thanking you sir, waiting for your kind reply. er your health
Hi, The treatment depends on the stage of infection. a. Acute HBV: no treatment.b. Inactive Bag carrier: no treatment, monitor ALT every 6-12 months, screen for HCC every 2 years. Chronic HBV with normal ALT: no treatment; monitor ALT every 3-6 months, screen for HCC every two years.d. chronic HBV with raised ALT: Treat with peg interferon alpha-2a or lamivudine. Adenoid dipivoxil is recommended in patients who are unable to tolerate peg interferon. There are many other categories also, but as you have not specified which category you belong to, it will be difficult to narrow down your treatment regimen. For definitive consultation and treatment, you should visit Global Hospital in Perumbakkam, Chennai. The hepatologists and gastroenterologists in this hospital are capable of providing world-class care when it comes to liver diseases. In fact, it is the referral hospital in India for liver transplants. They should be helped you in this regard. Hope this helps!

My son is 14yrs old.He is very good student.But now a days he doesnot concentrate on study.While studying he always talk about other.He always tells he is not feeling good .But when he plays computer games he becomes active.He also not mixes with his friend.Being a mother i am very sad.Please solve my problem.
Degree understand your concerns went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. Almost all teenagers are like this. Their brain is so vivid and vibrant, they cannot be still or confined to a task. Their brain demands vibrancy and creativity, which our normal curriculum fails to provide. Some teachers do try to be creative and make their pupil creative, but such acts do not last. You cannot advise them because teenagers never listen to elders. Only possible way is to make them understand with the help of their own friend. 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 some psychotherapy techniques which should help you cure your condition further. Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications. Good luck.

i m a clinical social worker. 14 year old client has micradenoma on or near pituitary gland. Some hormone levels were elevated but she was examined by neurologist and no surgery necessary they say. Has all kinds of symptoms -- racing thoughts, visual hallucinations at times, out of control anxiety, rage outbursts, trouble reasoning and little access to insight, preoccupied about her body and somatic complaints, defiance. However she doesn t really seem bipolar or schizophrenic, though she was Dx d bipolar. I don t think it looks psychiatric, it seems so odd and doesn t add up to any one Dx. Neurologists told parents the tumor had nothing to do wiht any of this, what do you think??
Hello, Fibroadenoma may produce hormones that may cause a constellation of disturbances for the patient including mood changes. I think that the case should be evaluated from a Neurosurgeon and a consultation with an Endocrinologist is necessary. If the fibroadenoma is responsible for the hormonal changes and subsequent mood problems it should be removed surgically. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Degree understand your concerns went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. I sincerely opine that the given details are not at all enough for a diagnosis. You could possibly be disappointed. Disappointed with your boyfriend or disappointed with some life event which makes you irritated. That irritation could be the reason for your mood changes. Don't relate these mood changes with mood swings of depression. Introspect. Talk to your friends and parents. Be open. They can guide you out of the present scenario. If you still need my help, please describe the whole problem in detail and post a direct question to me. I shall definitely help you with psychotherapy techniques to overcome your problems. Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications. Good luck.

my mother was diagnosed with left basal pneumonia she is 74 yeas old and was discharged from hospital yesterday was given amoxicillin and clarithromycin but now she is being sick and has diarohhea she has had amoxicillin before which hasnt effected her this way will it be the other antibiotics also what is left basal pneumonia
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. In my opinion, her diarrhea is mostly due to amoxicillin. Amoxicillin can cause diarrhea on second exposure. So you should stop amoxicillin. There are options for oral antibiotics other than amoxicillin like definite, levofloxacin, moxifloxacin etc. And left basal pneumonia means lung infection in lower lobe of left lung. So antibiotics are the mainstay of treatment. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your mother. Thanks.

My 9 year old daughter is excessively hungry. She says that her stomach actually hurts. If given the chance, she would eat a whole box of crackers, and then be excited that dinner is almost ready. She constantly sneaks food and it is rare to find her without food in her hands. Could there be a problem causing this?
Thanks for the question. By your description it seems that the child does have some problem either gastric, other systemic(endocrine/ neuronal etc.) or some psychological issue. You have not mentioned her height and weight which would have indicated to at least some things. In this situation it seems visiting a pediatrician will be of great help as a doctor can see more than you tell. Earlier the better

Recently I,ve been told I have high liver enzymes can this be due to medication ?? I take nexium 20mg. And avapro 150mg and am now on endep tab 10mg I have noticed I have a shaking sensation through my body on the inside is this due to medication ?? I have had a brain scan came out ok ???
HelloAvapro contains irbesartan. It is an antihypertensive. Though it may be hematologic in some patients but usually it doesn't cause high liver enzymes. Nexium contains omeprazole, and it is not expected to cause hepatotoxicity. Endep is also not expected to cause shaking sensation in body. You may have had elevated liver enzymes like ALT, AST. Increased ALT and AST may indicate liver injury. It may be due to many reasons like hepatitis, alcohol intake, altered lipid profile, medicines,autoimmune causes etc. You may need few more investigations like routine hologram, random blood sugar, viral markers, lipid profile, ultrasound of abdomen. You may need to take tablet ursodeoxycholic acid 300 mg twice daily for three months. It helps in regeneration of liver cells. Get well soon. Take Care Chat Doctor.

Hi...this looks like a viral illness, and it is fine for kids of this age to do air travel even with fever. Nothing to worry.Apart from the query you raised, I am just telling you about viral illness - Fever of few days without any localizing signs could as well a viral illness. Usually rather than fever, what is more important is the activity of the child, in between 2 fever episodes on the same day. If the kid is active and playing around when there is no fever, it is probably viral illness and it doesn't require antibiotics at all. Once viral fever comes it will there for 4-7 days. So do not worry about duration if the kid is active. Regards -

Hi, generally we don't give devilry in patients who are planning to get pregnant. It is a progesterone which is given to bring periods. But progesterone also supports the pregnancy. The thing is that for baby it is not considered good. Many other safer progesterone like Austen or phaeton are available. Talk to your doctor regarding this. Hope I have answered your question. If you have any other query I will be happy to help. Regards Chat Doctor.

Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor forum. Your present values are a little high. Let us make two changes. 1. Please make tablet Janumet 50/1000 mg (Sitagliptin and Metformin) twice a day. 2. Add tablet Empagliflozin 25 mg once a day before breakfast. Recheck your fasting and postprandial after 15 days and let me know. Add some antacid tablet if you feel bloating or gaseous distension. Please consult your treating doctor, discuss the suggestion and take the treatment with consent.

I fell over on my side at skiing 4 weeks ago. At the time I felt a very sharp pain in my right thigh just below the buttocks and it swelled up and became black and blue with bruising for about 10 days. Since the swelling subsided I have had a soft lump in the location about 6cm roung and 1.5 - 2cm high that is very soft to touch and is quite numb. Do you think this could be a hernia?? The tingling goes down the outside of my leg half way to my knee. Regards Michael Conroy
Hello! Thank you for the query. This lump is rather not a hernia. As it was blue with bruising and has appeared after the injury, most likely this is a hematoma. It appears due to veins rupture (Caused by the injury). The blood cumulates in the soft tissues. If a hematoma is pretty large won't disappear by its own. I suggest you to consult general surgeon. The hematoma should be Chat Doctor. In case of doubts, soft tissues' ultrasound can be done. Hope this will help. Regards.

Hello, Thanks for your query. It appears you may have strained the muscles of your lower back. I would suggest the following-* Adequate rest for a few days * Ice packing over the affected area once in 2 hours* Once the acute pain subsides, Moist heat application over the affected muscles* Gradual & gentle stretching exercises* analgesic & muscle relaxants as needed not take extra dose of Mobil without consultation of your doctor. I do hope that you have found something helpful, and I will be glad to answer any further query. Take care

My 23 year old daughter starting having seizures 15-20 per day when she turned 18. she was born 2 months 2 weeks premature, her seizures are somewhat controlled with medication, she is on 12 different meds per day, she still has seizures 1to 2 per day, her neurologist is suggesting surgery, what are the disadvantages vs advantages.
Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor forum. The treatment failure of the patient depends upon so many factors. If she is irregular in taking medicine, if she is using some medicine which has seizures as side effect, like antihistamines, ofloxacin etc. Should not be exposed to bright light, or continuous exposure to light like TV, or computer. Premature delivery may not be the cause, otherwise they would have started at an early age. Regarding the surgery, the attending doctor will be the correct judge, and pros and cons will be there with all the procedures. Wishing for a quick and complete recovery. Thank you.

I have a friend who is an occupational therapist. She recently was in the ER diagnosed with V-tach. She said her liver enzymes were also elevated and significantly not slightly. She is in excellent shape. Has an occasional drink; isn t on any routine meds, and does not abuse any drugs. She stated she had a cholecystectomy several years ago and does have occasional cramping in her stomach that subsides shortly after it begins. She thinks that whatever is causing her liver enzymes to be elevated, that is what sent her into V-tach. She will follow-up with a cardiologist in a few weeks however I am curious also as to what could have caused her liver enzymes to be sooo elevated. Any thought?
Hi and welcome to Chat Doctor. Thank you for your query. I am Chat Doctor, I understand your concerns and I will try to help you as much as I can.GOT and SGPT are sensitive indicators of liver damage or injury from different types of diseases or conditions, and collectively they are termed liver tests or liver blood tests. So the next step is to look for certain liver damage and most common case is fatty liver disease. It should be confirmed by ultrasound. Other causes are viral hepatitis, cirrhosis, medications, alcohol intake or autoimmune diseases. To verify exact cause, US, bilirubin levels and tumor markers should be additional done Then appropriate treatment can be started. I hope I have answered you query. If you have any further questions you can contact us in every time. Kindly regards. Wish you a good health.

Hello doctor,Kindly see the test report and advice what precautions or medications are required especially in the lipid profile section.
Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor forum. I have gone through your reports (attachment removed to protect patient identity). From your lipid profile test, variables like your total cholesterol, triglycerides, LDL (low-density lipoprotein), and HDL (high-density lipoprotein) are slightly either increased or decreased. All this is a reflection of being obese. But for now, I will recommend exercise and diet. You need lifestyle modification. No medications are needed. Start gym and get a trainer. So he can start you on a training exercise of at least three times a week. Start dieting, eat more fruits, vegetables, whole grain rice, etc. Eat and ChatDoctor. It would be best if you could get a nutritionist to make a diet plan for you. Best regards. For more information consult a cardiologist online

Is swelling conecerned with mild MVP?
Hello! Thank you for asking on Chat Doctor! I understand your concern and would explain that swelling is not typically associated to mitral valve prolapse. But it may be related to a low cardiac function or other disorders such as:- kidney impairment-liver impairment-long periods of standing up and lack of physical activity - venous insufficiency in the inferior limbs-some Chat Doctor. ) could also be the cause. I recommend consulting with your GP for a careful physical examination and some tests: - a resting ECG and cardiac ultrasound to examine the cardiac function- a Doppler ultrasound of the inferior limbs - some blood lab tests (complete blood count, kidney and liver function tests, PCR, sedimentation rate, blood electrolytes, blood osmolarity, etc.) You should discuss with your doctor on the above issues. Hope to have been helpful! Best wishes!

Hi Sandy ! Good morning. I am Chat Doctor answering your query. To know whether you have a hernia or not needs a physical examination of your abdomen. Apart from this, I would like to suggest you for a thyroid function test, a CBC, a kidney function test and a blood sugar test as a routine. Further management would depend on the findings of both the physical examination and investigations. I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts.

Dear Dr. my two year old has a number of symptoms that I m not sure are related. She has had a cold which presents as a night cough and generally runny nose for the past two weeks. Today she developed soreness/redness around her vulva (we changed nappy brands so it could be that, she has very sensitive skin). I checked her mouth for white spots in case it was thrush and didn t see any but did notice that her tongue is covered in little red dots. Any advice? The soreness is really bothering her, the night cough too, for that we are using a humidifyer. Regards, Eimear. .
Hi... I feel by what you quote he should be having a - Hand Foot Mouth disease. This is one viral illness among all other anthems which can cause fever followed by rash over palms and soles. It is a self-limiting disorder and itching can be really worrisome. I suggest you use any over the counter antihistamine if you have one with you now. You can use HY Chat Doctor. This can even cause some peeling of skin in the next 4-6 weeks and do not worry about it. Regards -

I have recently been discharged from hospital with probable crescendo angina due to some discomfort I experienced last week. All my tests in hospital were normal. I had a stent op 18 months ago and have been fine since then. I am awaiting further appointment for angiogram. If diagnosed with unstable angina is it a lifetime diagnosis or can it become stable again?
Dear, since you have a crescendo angina that is unstable angina, you have to have a coronary angiogram as early as possible. Generally a person with unstable angina is not discharged without an angiogram. But since you have been discharged, and now you are waiting for the angiogram, I would strongly advise you against any activity that would need you to exert. And also take your medicines very religiously.Most of the time unstable angina would not become stable on its own, but definitely it can be reduced by curtailing the level of activity and by taking some particular medicines. All the best.

Hi, As mentioned by you in the history I feel this Popping is due to the SI Joint dysfunction. Using hot water fermentation and taking rest should heal in 2-3 days of time. In case your pain symptoms don't reduce and the nature of pain is like tingling, numbing, etc., than it should be related to disc prolapse which may occur due to bending of the spine. For this we need a physical examination and an MRI to see the extent of the soft tissue injury. Please take rest and use hot water fermentation for now. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Jay In Chat Doctor.

My mother has been diagnosed with small cell lung cancer. She continues to smoke and she refused treatment. Her health is starting to fail her lately. If this cancer has spreaded to her brain, can this cause confusion and how serious can she become once it has spreaded to her brain. She complains about constant headaches that wont go away.
Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. Your mother has lung cancer. It can spread to the brain. Non-small cell cancer has high chance of spread. Once its spread to brain it becomes stage 4. Then there is no chance of cure. She should stop smoking. Go for MRI brain. Chemotherapy and radiotherapy is the treatment. Consult your doctor and plan accordingly. Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Wish you a very good health.

Hi, I recently fell of a horse and as I landed I got trod on by the horse on my inner upper right thigh. I first had lots of pain and I could not walk on it and every time I moved it I was in loads and loads of pain I then put some ice on it and it was better but it has now been 3 days and I still have a dull ache and difficulty walking and straightening my leg and it feels very stiff. However there has been no bruising at all but there was sweing... What have I done? Thanks.
Hello, As this fall has landed in the muscle injury. Straightening the knee will be difficult due to excessive muscle action. You need to wait for a week or so and till then continue icing to reduce pain but also use hot water fermentation to relax the muscles too. Post 7-10 days you can start slow and low-intensity static qua Chat Doctor. This should help regain the strength in the muscles and allow the knee to be flexible. Trying hot relax and contract-relax techniques will help improve the knee range of motion too. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Jay In

Hi Doctor, I am 25 years old female. I am trying to conceive for last 2 years. I have PCOD problem. 10 months back i was pregnant with the help of ChatDoctor injection. But unfortunately it was got miscarried after 5 weeks. My doctor suggested me to take Duphaston 10mg tablet for day16-day25. My 2 cycles are over after taking this treatment(Feb 2017 & March 2017). But no luck yet. This is my 3rd cycle. I dont have anyother health issue. Is there any possibility to get conceive this month? Why it was not happening with last 2 months?
Hi, I think the main problem in pro patients is non ovulation. So, I think you should take some medicines like camphene for inducing ovulation and track your follicles' growth by repeated ultrasound and when follicle is more than 17 to 18 mm, take injection for rupture of follicles. Be in contact with your husband for 2 to 3 days after the injection. Take progesterone for next 2 weeks after rupture is confirmed on ultrasound Do a urine pregnancy test after that. You can try like that for 3 to 6 cycles. Also get a thyroid profile and prolactin level done. Talk to your doctor regarding this. Hope it helps.

I fell down three steps to the garage on Feb 20th,and fell on my face, hitting the left side of my forehead, just above my left eye, on the hard cement floor.

The lump was as large as a ducks egg...and now it is about the size of a pigeon s egg. there are still black marks under my left eye , as the veins continue to clear out the blood. How can I help this process to speed up ?
Hi ! Good morning. I am Chat Doctor answering your query. With your history this seems to be a resolving hematoma in the subcutaneous tissues of the area. As the hematoma was large enough initially, it might take more time for the blood to get absorbed gradually. You can apply a pressure bandage over it if need be. However, it would take its own time unless it has got organized. In that case it might have to be evacuated by a small incision under local anesthesia. You have to take the opinion of a general surgeon in that case. I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in planning your treatment. Thanks for using the Chat Doctor forum for your query on health. Wishing you an early recovery. Chat Doctor.

My question deals with ED.........I am capable of full erections, and have a satisfactory sex life. But I usually get only 1 solid erection per session. If I dont use it immediately.....then it is a no go. It seems that the blood is returning to general circulation.....and not remaining where I want it. We can usually coax a new erection...but as soon as stimulation(either manual or oral) ceases.....my erection goes away rather quickly. Are you familiar with this phenomenon?? Thanks in advance for your time.
Hello dear, Thank you for your contact to Chat Doctor. I read and understand your concern. I am Chat Doctor answering your concern. You should take the sildenafile citrate. This will be helpful in good erection. Such phenomenon is common with some mens it's not a disease. Its psychological phenomenon. If you have to break this phenomenon you should think positively. Like you have to think that your erection will sustain it will not go. Secondly you can also think for the girl or women who can arouse you or sexually stimulates you. This thing will persist your erection. I will be happy to answer your further concern on bit.ly/ Chat Doctor. Thank you, ChatDoctorInfectious diseases specialist, ChatDoctor.

Hello doctor,My 5 year old son has poor vision -2.0. He improves his eyesight by doing eye exercises himself. Should he wear eyeglasses?
Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor forum. I do not know whether you have got his cycloplegic refraction or not. Is this just auto refractometer finding or final refractive power? Anyways, I will suggest you get a repeat cycloplegic refraction done at a good center by an optometrist who is experienced. Secondly, this refractive power is significant enough to cause symptoms. Your son may be able to correct it because of high accommodation at this age but this is not good. He may develop squint or many more other problems if not treated. So get his refraction done as soon as possible and use appropriate glasses. For more information consult an eye care ophthalmologist online

hi, i am a 27 years old man, recently 3 months ago i had a break up with my girlfreind.i had several time physical relationship with her. since it occured, due to this now i am thinking frequently may be she got pregnent and dont want to let me know about it.our breakup was happened due to our personal behavior and my family agresiveness towards her.But instead of the fact knowing i frequenly thinks that she might get pregnent.i cannot concentrate on my regular life always finding and thinking repeatedly the incidents occured between us. always try to relate the things occured during our last quarrel even knowing the real fact that breakup as happened because she dont like my parent because she had insulted by them. But knowing all the causes i am thinking that she was pregnent. one thing i like to tell that few years back i was suffering from OCD due to the same reason that happened with my 1st ex girlfriend. i have searched all the details about how a girl can be pregnent,there also i did not relate the thing accurately.Please do me feber let me know how can this thought be stoped.you may be thinking why dont i ask to my girlfriend.The fact is i dont want to call her again and dont want to ask this thing as i am not assure.Please tell me cure process.
HiT hank you for your query need to divert your attention. If you have hobbies this is the best time to pursue them. Get out with friends. Meet new people. Go to new places. Avoid places you went to with your ex-girlfriend. Concentrate more on your work too. Exercise. If all this also does not help, try to get to know for sure from a common friend regarding her status and get it out of your system. Break-ups can be tough. Consult a psychotherapist. There Chat Doctor. Hope that helps God bless you

Hi. I got test results as I just had Brain MRI. It said T2/flair hyper intensity in the left lobe sub cortical white matter. ? Sequela of chronic micro vascular disease, ?? Remote trauma/ inflammation demyelination or chronic ischemia due to migraine or other vasculopathis ??? So pls help me to explain what are these meaning ??? Thank u.
Hello! Thank you for your question on Chat Doctor! Regarding your concern I would say that it is a past lesion to the brain. It is not very specific for only one disorder. Have you suffered from headache like migraine? It can be caused by low blood perfusion to the brain in that region. Do you suffer from high blood pressure or heart disease? Have you ever had problems like tingling sensation, numbness or weakness in your right limbs? A desalinating disease like multiple sclerosis can cause similar lesions in MRI. The MRI images should be confronted with your symptoms to find out the nature of this lesion. Further examination of the heart, blood analysis, cervical vessel ultrasound are needed to establish the cause. Hope to have been helpful! Best wishes Chat Doctor.

I have been running what feels like a low grade fever for around a week now. I feel cold for most of the day and wake up in the night with chills and sweats. I play baseball and don t feel that bad. With the help of ibuprofen I am able to play games feeling completely normal until it wears off. I also feel rather achey most of the day and have headaches at some points. When should I go to a doctor?
Hello welcome to Chat Doctor. As fever is there since 1 week, it is better to get the complete investigation of blood and urine. Because your body is able to fight, less infection is there, so the fever is in lower grade. The ibuprofen what you are taking just relieves the symptoms. The cause has to be treated. So Please go to physician and take further treatment after the investigations. Take care

i m 22 year old male i have undergoes throuh urine test in which the content of RBC is 8-10/hpf,and the cast present is 1-2/hpf.about one month ago i had full blood and pain i consulted to urologist ...but nowalso it is there.i have little testicles pain .when i masturbate i feel no pain but after 24 hours i feel sympoms like fever,testicular pain ,weekness..etc..so,please help me
Hello, Here are few causes I have mentioned:1. Masturbation in one session for a long period of time may also result in pelvic congestion which may lead to pain.2. Pain may also be related to how you are positioning yourself during masturbation. If your testicles are moving around too much, this motion could be the reason behind your discomfort. Consider a change in position or try cupping your testicles with your free hand as you are masturbating. This touch could also benefit by providing extra sensation and may make the experience more enjoyable.3. Epididymitis can also be a source of testicular pain following ejaculation. This is caused by inflammation in the epididymis (the tube behind each testicle that stores and delivers sperm). The most common cause of epididymitis is a bacterial infection that can be the result of a sexually transmitted infection (STI) or coliforms (bacteria that live in the intestines). The infection can usually be cleared up by a dose of antibiotics. Complete examination of genitals may require please consult your physician he will examine and treat you accordingly. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Im experiencing a little dizziness that doesnt seem to go away. Especially if I move quickly or look down or up. If Im laying down and get up quickly, it is at its worst.I had this about a year ago and it went away. Now I cant seem to shake it. Its been about a month now. It started when a dentist put me to sleep to extract a wisdom tooth last month.
Hello, Thanks for posting your query. Constant dizziness followed with extraction of wisdom tooth may be due to-unhealed extraction socket. Overstrained work schedule, anxiety and stress can also cause this. Take adequate rest and avoid anxiety. Irrigate the socket with Betadine and apply eugenol into the socket. I would suggest you to take augmentin-625Β mg as well as analgesic with muscle relaxant. Take nutritious diet as well as plenty of fruits and fluids. Also monitor your blood sugar level and blood pressure. If symptoms persists, please do visit a dentist. Hope this helps.

My husband called an ambulance he said he has a numbness in left arm, feels dizzy and hasn t felt right in a few days like something s just off. He was in India before Thanksgiving and had to take malaria medicine for the trip. He s a 53 year old male in really good shape, eats healthy and exercises regularly takes vitamin supplements? Could this be a heart attack?
Hello there, A history of numbness along your left arm with dizziness and also a feeling of unease is a symptom I will like you to get checked out. At the very least you need to visit a physician and get an EKG/ ECG done. Based on the report of the EKG we can discuss further treatment and management as it can easily rule out a heart attack. With your husband being in good shape and healthy living it is unlikely but being safe is better than worrying. Symptoms like these are also seen in patients who have been anxious recently so that is also something to be considered. Please do get the EKG done as soon as possible. Hope this helps, please feel free to ad Chat Doctor.

I think I had the flu with fever chills headache and achy now when I think I m getting better the last two days I ve had the feeling of a lump in my throat that seems to burn. Not sure if reflux, don t generally suffer from it or should I b concerned about a heart attack?
Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You may have granular pharyngitis. This upper respiratory tract infection can lead fever and chills. You should go for complete blood count and test for malaria parasite. You should go for urine routine and microscopic examination. Furthermore, you have some infection. Don't worry about heart attack. Just complete a course of antibiotics accordingly. Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using Chat Doctor.

Hi I am 19 and have never had sexual intercors in my life. Just recently I have noticed small white bumps on the skin under my shaft they don t hurt and I don t think j can pop them but I also have hair so I m not sure if it is just hair follicles or maybe an STD?

I have unprotected sex regularly. my partner and i have a commited relationship and have both been tested. i have been taking birth control for over a year but i occasionally forget to take it. but i always take it within 24 hrs. for the last 5 days or so i have been having period like cramps . my period is not due for another 3 days or so. i have never had cramps prior to my period before. also i have been having a lot of lower back pain and while showering last night i felt very faint. ( im not sure if its related but my breasts are more tender than normal.) any ideas?
Hello, If you have been regular with your birth control pills in this cycle, your chances of conception are very minimal. Your symptoms could mean an impending period. To clarify about your status of being pregnant or not, you can get an assessment of the serum beta-ChatDoctor titles now or wait for your next period and go for a HPT 3-7 days later if you miss it. Urinary tract infections also can lead to similar symptoms of abdominal cramps and hence urinalysis also is essential in the current scenario. Hope this helps.

I have prostate cancer metastasize to the bone, taking chemo tx. My gums and teeth are very sore and painful....This weekend I developed a lump under my chin.......about a year ago I fell and landed on my chin......I thought I might have broken or chipped a bone at the time......It healed. Now this lump has me worried.....Wonder if its cancer?
The first line treatment for stage 4 prostate cancer is not chemotherapy but hormone therapy (unless you have already received it). This comprises a small surgery to remove the testicles (the source of testosterone which stimulates the cancer) followed by Tab Bicalutamide 50Β mg daily till response lasts. Response is assessed by monthly serum PSA estimation. So consult your oncologist about this. As to the lump you shouldn't be worried about it as it most likely the result of trauma than anything else.

i shave my pubic area and recently noticed a few flat, red blotches just above my penis .they seem to be somewhat circular. i have only had sex with my girlfriend for the last 2 years and she is clean plus we use condoms . any idea what this is?
HelloThanks for your query, based on the facts that you have posted it appears that you have shaved your private parts recently and have noticed red circular spots on pubic area . Most likely this is due to allergic reaction to the chemical or soap used while shaving. Do not worry just wash your genitals and private part with warm water twice daily and apply anti-allergic steroid cream. This should get cured within a week. Chat Doctor.

HI, I understand your concern. Both High doses of Oxacillin, INH & Ethambutal are placed in category c for their use in pregnancy. Though there are no sufficient evidences about their teratogenicity, they are to be used with precautions in pregnancy when the benefits over weigh the side effects & they are essential for control of Tuberculosis in pregnant woman. The doses offered to you are in normal range. & I feel you should believe your treating doctor & continue taking it as per the advice, while regular pregnancy check-ups are done. Thanks.

I fell on my foot funny about 3 days ago its still swollen and brusing has occurred. I have been on crutches and also I cant seem to keep it warm its always freezing cold to touch. Its the inside of my right foot that is bruised in the arch of the foot
Hello! Thank you for the query.First it is necessary to determine if your symptoms are caused by soft tissues injury or by some bones fracture. To do that, an X-ray is necessary. Foot swelling and bruise can indicate some hematoma in soft tissues which in some cases may need surgical incision. Veins thrombosis is also a possibility which should be ruled out. That is why I suggest you to consult a surgeon. Hope this will help. Regards.

Dear Sir,my father had got angioplastry surgery in Last year. few months later he got pain on left arm and shoulder . I discussed the doctor who done the Surgery and he advised us to check ortho specialist. Now my father taking four medicine which was suggested by surgeon as below clopilet a 75,amifru 40 mg, revolol xl 12.5mg, rosufit 10mg. is there any cause for left arm pain?
Hi, Thanks for writing to Chat Doctor, I am Chat Doctor. The arm pain that you told about is unrelated to a procedure done through his radial artery as there is no nerve supply over arteries that could cause him to sense pain. If his pain increases with arm movements especially when raising his arm above his head, it may be due to adhesive capsulitis that is the inflammation of the lining of shoulder joint For that he may have physiotherapy, use warm compresses, apply painkiller gels and take some over the counter painkillers like Tablet Naproxen hope this answered your question, if you have more feel free to ask.

Hello dear, and thanks for posting your query here. The problem of high BP is mainly idiopathic, that means it is not curable but needs to be treated to keep it under control. But there are certain other causes of high BP which is present are sometimes curable. So your wife needs evaluation to rule out these secondary causes of high BP. I would suggest you to show your wife to a good physician to get her evaluated for secondary hypertension. This needs certain blood and urine investigations and ultrasonography and Doppler. And of course her medicines need to be optimized to get a better control of BP. The target BP is I hope this information would be of help to you. Thanks and all the best.

i fell down the stairs and hit my back on the corner of some stairs. There is swelling next to my spine and it hurts from my neck down. I never hit my neck or head but when i fell i couldn t speak for a good minute and my vision went blurry and i couldn t see well for a few minutes.
Hello dear, The symptoms as mentioned in your post can be attributed to musculoskeletal injury secondary to the fall.X-ray & MRI of the spine will be helpful in clinching the diagnosis. Symptomatic relief can be obtained by heat therapy, application of analgesic & muscle relaxant gel, intake of analgesics like Diclofenac (to be taken after food) + Pantoprazole (to be taken 30 minutes before meals). Supplements of Calcium & vitamin D can be included in diet which will help in strengthening of bones. Physiotherapy exercise will also be helpful. If symptoms still persist, kindly consult an Orthopedic for proper clinical examination. Till then, maintain adequate HY Chat Doctor. Wishing a Good Health. Take care.

I have a mouth ulcer for a very long time. Do not know wat kind it is. Because of some whitenees in my mouth someone suggested oral thrust. Some of the dentists prescribed some paste etc without taking a biopsy. Lot of trouble eating. I have acid reflux problem too. Guide me. Thanks
Thanks for posting your query in ChatDoctorthere are many causes of mouth ulcers . It can be due to 1. Trauma from teeth or hard food biting2. Infection (viral, fungal/oral thrush or bacterial)3. Nutrition deficiency 4. Oral carcinoma 5. Poor hygiene6. Reflux disease7. Tobbaco and cigarette use etc.oral thrush if present is a candida infection and presents as a pseudomembrane which can be removed easily by antifungal ointment like clotrimazole... it presents mostly in person with poor oral hygiene. As you have acid reflux I would suggest you to take antacid syrup twice daily after food this will help your ulcer to heal.take multivitamins and use antiseptic rinses apply anti-inflammatory ointment over it . If it still persists for more than 10 days after treatment I would advise you to go to your dentist for further checkup and biopsy if needed.thanks

I have a rash under my arm, it is like red welts, they burn and itch, i have had them for 3 weeks now and they are spreading. i have tried gold bond powder and a itch medicine that our dr. gave me for our son who had several bad spider bites. my arm pit kind of smells like yeast.
Hello, Your symptoms point towards this diagnosis :1. Tinea corporal characterized by itchy, red coin shaped large lesion over your body.2. Candidiasis (intertwine) characterized by itchy red macerated lesion over body folds with some pus filled lesion also present.3. Erythrasma characterized by less itchy, red-brown smooth lesion over your body folds. You should start with oral antifungal like fluconazole, antihistamine (levocetrizine, loratadine), and a cream containing antifungal (above like clotrimazole) and steroid (like dexamethasone) to apply over the affected area.

Hi I had a fasting blood test and today I got a letter saying that I had to have another one in a month for comparison but it does say what. I went to the doctor because I was feeling tied all the time and I had a shape pain going from my right groin to my kidney what do you think could of shown up and should they of told me on the letter Thank you for your time sam
Hello Angel, Thanks for posting, Well I do not personally understand why your test results should be hidden from you and only ask to be redone after 1 month. Fasting blood tests could be done when testing for sugar, cholesterol, uric acid and other diet dependent tests. It is mostly done for glycemic (to determine if diabetic or not). If you had groin pain radiating to the kidneys, I personally would have requested for a urinalysis, abdominal scan (especially looking at the kidneys + bladders + ureters etc.). Usually when results are asked to be done after it is for a confirmation of a test conducted earlier. Usually after a while if a test value was high or positive, after a while it could normalize or become negative. Surely that is why they ask to do it again after a month. Hope this helps

Hi my question is I went to my doctor he find out that i have rectal herpes but i would like to know how can i treat that at home first i don t know how i got that i don t have a husband i don t have sex but i have Hemorrhoidal i have surgery last year please help me tell me what to do
Hi, Thanks for the query. I understand your concern, The transmission of Herpes during hemorrhoid surgery seems not to be possible because-strict aseptic precautions are taken during surgery. The possibility of getting it through some person who was infected (while nursing) OR Operation stress has triggered acute exacerbation already existing infection of is the possibility (. Actually hemorrhoid surgery removes a source of viral abide in body) Please know that Herpes infection can not be completely cured. It can take one out of acute exacerbation of symptoms. So only keeping control on disease symptoms with expert advise & regular check up/avoiding acute exacerbation/ & prevent transmission to others is all we can do. Home care for herpes lesion- - Maintain good health & resistance by healthy lifestyle, Keep a cold / lukewarm cloth on the lesion, Take bath with lukewarm water, keep the lesion Chat Doctor. -Over the counter NSAID like Ibuprofen would help in managing the pain/ discomfort - An experts advise for prescribing anti viral

Hello Doctor, My name is Srikanth.We have a 16 months old son and he was very healthy till his 11months.After that very frequently he is suffering with cough,cold and wheezing but no fever.One Doctor daignoised n said that he is suffering with bronchiolitis n gave him lc kid for 1 month n few other drugs for 5 days..And now finally we came to know that he is allergetic to all kinds of cold things..If the cold,cough n wheezing starts sometime we r doing nebulizing n syrup for cold n cough n he is coming back to normal within 2 days.I have read so many blogs n so many docs were saying that this is normal condition untill 6yrs..But i am scared that my son might have any other chronic disease like T.B or any other lung diseases.Please suggest me do we need take him for any tests?? Thanks and Regards..
Hello, Thank you for asking at Chat Doctor. I went through your sons history and would like to know more about him as follows:a. What is the frequency of his wheezing? Any seasonal variations?b. What are his nose symptoms - running nose, congested nose, sneezing, etc.?c. Does he cough more during day or night’d. Does he vomit or often nauseate?e. Does he have gastric disturbances like constipation, frequent stomach pain, frequent diarrhea, etc.?f. Did he have any skin problems/allergies since birth?g. Does any of his family member have allergies? Above details would help me to know more about his health and therefore to make suggestions more specifically for him. At present, from your provided details, I would like to make suggestions for him as follows:1. As long as Tb and other chronic lung diseases are concerned, I would think about them only if he is almost always sick, he does not respond to nebulization and other medications, he has serious weight loss, etc. If he does not have above features, I would not think of any serious cause.2. Wheezing is very common in this age and there are many causes like allergies, viral infections (including bronchiolitis), gastroesophageal reflux disease (HERD), childhood asthma (non-allergic), etc. So detailed history is important before suspecting a particular diagnosis and suggesting any investigations.3. I usually prescribe my such patients regular montelukast + levocetirizine which helps for most symptoms. If he develops wheezing, I suggest them nebulization with albuterol or levosalbutamol on as-and-when-needed basis.4. Cold air, cold Chat Doctor. 5. Also, please avoid exposure to dusts, smokes and air pollution as much as possible.6. It is usually true that around 70-80% of the child

I was stung by 2 yellow jackets one under my left arm pit and the other bite on my left calf. After being stung the second time the bottom of my feet and my hands became very itchy. I came in and took a generic Benedryl and a warm shower. The itch has gotten worse. Any suggestions?
Cellophane You for contacting Chat Doctor. Itching is because of allergic response from the bite. I would suggest you to take levocetirizine one at night for 5 days. It will take 2-3 days to improve, but itching will become less after few hours of taking medicine. Report to hospital if:> Condition remain same after 2-3 days> Any unusual symptom appears> Condition deteriorates.> There is difficulty in breathing. Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow-up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. Wishing you good health.

Yesterday my nose and under it was itching later the inner coner of my eye then my eye lid and then a coner of my lip when I woke up I started to feel something it was still itchy so I went to bathroom and noticed the rash like things on my face what is it?
Hello, Thanks for the query, You might have developed acute urticaria. It is an allergic condition. Anything including food, cloth, change in climate, pollen etc. can cause urticaria. You need to find out the cause. Treatment can be with oral anti histamines. Steroids like prednisolone are also helpful but cannot be used for long. Please meet a dermatologist for exact diagnosis. Let me know if you have any other doubt. You can ask a direct question to me on this forum, following the below link.https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.ChatDoctor .com/doctors/ Chat Doctor.

I stepped up on a ladder, heard a loud snap in my upper right calf and it began hurting and swelling immediatey - this was two days ago. I didn t do anything to treat it at first because I was out of town for a Wedding and couldn t rest. Once I got home the next afternoon, I elevated it and put ice on it. Today, the swelling is worse and now my ankle and foot are also swollen. I m 43 and fairly healthy (stay physically active at my job).
Hello, I have studied your case and I think that you may have a muscular injury. It is common during sudden twisting. I would suggest you visit an orthopedic doctor and get it checked. Most probably it is a grade 2 muscle strain. He will suggest you painkiller tablets with local ointment. Continue ice application. Avoid standing for a long time and doing any heavy exercise. Walking is allowed. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Had lots of tests, wbc has been rising and is now over the normal range, esr rate 1. My doctor seems baffled! Any ideas, i m really worried
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. By your history and description, we should first rule out hyperthyroidism. So get done serum TSH, Free T3 and free T4 for the evaluation of hyperthyroidism. If all these are normal then no need to worry about hyperthyroidism. Sometimes uncontrolled stress, anxiety and panic disorder can also cause similar symptoms. So consult psychiatrist and get done counselling sessions. Try to identify stressor in your life and start working on its solution. You may need anxiolytic Chat Doctor. Don't worry, you will be alright. Avoid stress and tension, be relaxed and calm. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.

Hello, I am wondering if I may have a mild form of tetanus. I impaled the sole of my foot about 3 weeks ago on a metal belt-buckle tine ( about 1/4 in in diameter and 3/4 in long). There was no bleeding so I initially didn t think it pierced the skin although I could feel and hear it enter, like an awl through leather. After looking at the wound under a microscope light I could see a clear + shaped entry. It produced a rather large bruise on the top of my foot for a week or so but that was it. I didn t think anything of it at the time but since have had weird symptoms including: sudden lump in throat and trouble swallowing ( went for dinner with my girlfriend last week and coudn t eat - thought I was going to choke so got a doggie bag) - I thought maybe strep so got anti-b s for that yesterday. Trouble is the swab won t be accurate as I self-medicated with some penicillin I had in the house for a couple of days prior trying to relieve my symptoms. Also, a severe and sudden onset of back pain lasting several days, x-rays showed nothing and it eventually subsided. Slight temp for several days now and also I have frequent ( every 15 - 30 min ) of flash heat/sweating and I know its not menopause as I just had my hormones checked and all is normal. I thought after 6 doses of anti-b s all would be fine but no. I feel like crap, can t get up in the morn and just want to know if I should be thinking of tetanus as the culprit. I don t think I ve had a tetanus shot for about 8 years or more. Had stitches about 7 years ago and remember telling the ER staff that I had had tetanus a couple of years prior so didn t get another at that time. Should I be concerned? The initial wound on the sole of my foot is pretty much healed, no infection that I can tell...a little tender but I am walking on it...just a 1/4 in scab under the skin. Do you think I should go back to the doc? I meant to ask about the foot injury at my last visit but thought it would sound silly. thanx
Hello. Tetanus is a fatal disease without life support caused by a bacterial toxin. Initially toxin is formed near wound area and later toxin spreads to whole body. Features are irritability, restlessness, locked jaw, fever, initial muscle spasm in the throat and jaw later spread to whole body including respiratory muscles. So until toxin is removed using antitoxins patient has to b put on respiratory support. According to your description difficulty of swallowing is only one episode. Tetanus is a progressive disease, so you can't have only one episode of muscle spasm. Fever and chills are may be due to the throat infection. Some of your symptoms are related with anxiousness too. Anyway it is better to get your blood tests done as soon as possible complaining your worries to the doctor. Hope this helps. Thank you.

Hello doctor,I have had pain recently in a tooth that has a hole in it for several months and the pain has been horrible and a couple of days back, I woke up with swollen cheek on the side of my bad tooth and pain is also there. When I touch my cheek, pain shoots down to my tooth and I do not know what this means.
Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor forum. I have gone through your question and I can understand your concern. As per your history, it seems to me that you are having acute apical periodontitis with related buccal space infection. You need antibiotics for at least five days, so have non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medication. In case you want me to prescribe proper dosage, upload your picture of the swollen face so that I know the severity, and also your weight and height too. Or, you can visit a dentist physically but do not avoid it as the space infection can be dangerous too.

Hi, I am 49 today, i have been feeling a jittery feeling in the left side of my chest area, kind of like anxiety or something. I have been checking my blood pressure, blood sugar etc. and it has all been fine, what can i do to ease me of this? i also have been having a lot of leg and feet cramps.
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. As a rule in left sided chest discomfort, we have to rule out cardiac cause first. So please get done ECG and 2D Echo to rule out cardiac causes. If both is the above are normal than it must be related to anxiety and stress. So try to avoid stress and tension. Be relax and keep calm. There are newer anxiolytic available in the market which are nonhabit forming. So you can try this too for anxiety related problems.

My son is 6 months old. I checked his temperature rectally and it was 100.0 exactly... He has been fussy and eats fine. He drools alot and sleeps alot here lately. I feel a bump in his lower gums but I cant tell if its just part of his gums or if its a tooth... Could he be teething or is there something else wrong possibly?
Hi. Welcome to Chat Doctor . I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns... As per your complaint mild fever can be seen in teething infants along with Chat Doctor. . I would suggest you to consult a Periodontist and get her evaluated and a clinical examination has to be done. In case if it is due to teethe it will gradually improve when the eruption of teeth will complete. As of now doing cool compresses on gums, feeding with plenty of cool fluids and soft and bland diet will help. Give Acetaminophen to reduce fever. Hope this information helps. Thanks and regards.

I have low blood pressure that will not get to a normal level even with drinking plenty of water and taking sodium. I am now extremely weak and nauseous. my doctor is suggesting Parkensons disease. I feel one reason I cant maintain a healthy pressure is because I cant seem to retain fluid. I am urinating ever 30 min day and night. Any Ideas what else this could be.
Hi, If you go on reading your blood pressure it will go on varying at all the time, and reading the blood pressure without any symptoms or reason is useless. If you have some doubt having some kind of symptoms like dizziness, breathing difficulty then you can see the physician and discuss blood pressure. Else self-measured blood pressure cannot be taken as granted for any treatment. Increase frequency of urine could be due to high sugar level, infection, hyperactive bladder, all these need to be differentiated, (Blood pressure cannot below without any obvious reason and that would be medical emergency demands the immediate medical attention). Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

After masturbating, i noticed my semen had a brownish tinge to it and had a few very tiny specks of red blood. I had no other pain during any urination or during daily activities. I have always had white to whitish-yellow semen. What is the cause of this problem? Thanks.
HelloThanks for your query, based on the facts that you have posted it appears that you have noticed that your semen is brownish and contains specks of blood. Most likely this is due to infection of either Seminal Vesicle or Prostate. Please get your semen analysis and semen culture done to find out the organisms causing this infection and antibiotics to which they are sensitive to. You need to take broad spectrum antibiotic like Čeferin along with anti-inflammatory Chat Doctor.

Thank you for the query. With increasing pollution and poor eating habits, this has become a major problem in kids. By description, it seems that the child is suffering from allergic bronchitis or asthma super added by repeated respiratory tract infection. I have treated loads of such cases.

HI DR I HAVE 6 MONTHS OLD BABY ,SHE IS PASSI;;;;;;NG GREEN COLOURED STOOL ,IAM FEEDING HER FORMULA MILK AP;TAMIL NO BREAST MILK ,NW I HAVE STARTED WITH RAGI AND BAN;ANA;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
Thanks for asking, but your question is not complete. Let me reassure that greenish stools are normal in child Chat Doctor. It occurs due to rapid transit of fecal matter through the large intestine and the bile does not get time to change to yellow color pigment of stool. 6 months is the right time to start semi solids. You have done the right thing by starting reign and banana. You can give any type of adult food in mashed form and low on spices. Introduce items one at a time. One possible reason for green stools is that your baby is getting too much foremilk and not enough hind milk which often occurs when breast milk production comes down. The hind milk provides most of the calories your baby needs, and makes him feel full. If breast milk is inadequate, no need to give formula milk; you can directly switch to semi solids. You can introduce:CEREALS & GRAINS: Rice-Barely-OatFRUITS: Apricots, Apples,Mangoes, Bananas that you have mentioned Peas, Peaches,Pumpkin, Plums,Prunes.VEGETABLES: Sweet Potatoes, Acron/Butternuts, Green beans, Yellow squash.DAIRY: Plain whole milk yogurt. Hope that helps.

Hi Doc, I have cavity in both of gums .What is the solution. What are the precautions to be taken in order to get rid of it. Thanxs
Hello,first I would like to tell you that cavity or decay will not be seen on gums. This may be perforation/sinus seen on gums. Or it may be cervical or sublingual dental carries which occurs on the cervical area of tooth which is very close to gums. Get your teeth checked clinically by a dentist to get the diagnosis. Get your teeth cleaned and check for any abscess or sinus on gums. Chat Doctor. Apply gum tone gel on your gums. If there is decay vertically get it restored. Use soft bristled toothbrush and brush from back -forth and top-bottom. Gum massage can be done with your fingers. Maintain good oral hygiene. Rinse your mouth after every meal. Regards

Hello Mild increase in renal echo texture may be due to infection, renal parenchymal disease. It needs clinical correlation and investigations. Investigations include routine hologram, RBS,urine RE/ME, renal function test. You are right prescribed antibiotics. If condition deteriorate then you need hospitalization. Diffuse fatty changes in liver is a reversible stage. You should increase your physical activity and avoid fried and fatty food. Liver function test should be done. You may need few medicines after full investigations. Take care Chat Doctor.

hello, i was in a car accident about two weeks ago and now just started having severe neck pain that radiates into my head and into my back on one side. it is also causing a sensation in the middle of my back that makes me want to pop my back but it wont pop , i guess its like an achy feeling. the pain wakes me up at night. what should i do?
Dear as said by you have severe neck pain with radiation to head and back and there is history of car accident also. All this is suggestive of musculoskeletal pain with or without some nerve compression. To confirm the diagnosis we need an MRI cervical spine .that will show us about any bone fracture or nerve root compression, or it may be a simple muscle injury or stain.bone fracture with prolapsed disc compressing nerve is an emergency. That must be diagnosed as soon as possible and managed. If it is some muscle stain it can be managed conservatively by some muscle relaxant and painkillers along with physiotherapy. So at this time you need to discuss all this with your physician .hope this will help.

My grandson is 19 years old and has been c/o fatigue, muscle aches for months. Blood work : sed rate and Epstein Barr neg but had elevated wbc of 25,000 and after 2 courses of antibiotics the wbc is 25,000. Enlarged lymph nodes in right axilla and groin.
He needs to know the cause of the symptoms, especially the elevated WBC and enlarged lymph glands before treating blindly with antibiotics. This could be an infectious process or even lymphoma. The infection could be an unusual one such as tuberculosis which would not respond to the usual antibiotics and requires extended therapy for months. At this point I think it is important that the lymph nodes are biopsied and cultured for unusual infections like TB and also the cells looked at to see if any type of cancer is present. He might need a bone marrow biopsy to see why the WBC are so high. This deserves prompt in-depth evaluation to figure out the cause. Hope this helps.
