I am feeling an itchy sensation when i cough. It feels really good when i cough, almost as if I am itching the inside of my rib cage. I think it may be assoicated with asthma? I was diagnosed a few years ago but they were different symptoms more like shortness of breath. The symptoms went away and now it appears the symptoms have changed. Do my new symptoms sound like a form of asthma or is this non-related? I feel like when i breath in, almost like my wall is closing and there is not enough air getting through, at the same time, i feel like my rib is itching on the left side and when i cough, it feels great but after i cough it burns as well! Help please
|

Im having pretty sharp lower left abdomen pain, on a scale from one to ten its about a 7. I had a pretty severe kidney infection several years ago, and it doesnt feel like that location-wise. It started late Thursday/early Friday, and its progressively gotten worse. It now is very painful to move and almost painful to talk. Should I wait until a QuickCare unit opens or go to the ER?
|
Hi. Thanks for your query. With the severe pain in the left lower abdomen, which does not allow you to move and almost painful to talk. This indicates peritonitis, and you need to rush to ER for clinical examination by a Doctor and investigations :Test of blood, urine and stool, X-ray of the abdomen in standing position, Ultrasonography. If the clinical examination gives a rebound tenderness, this is a certain sign of peritonitis and most probably you may need surgery.

Hello Doctor,I am male of 48 years and it has been quite some time that I have had sex with my wife. Reason for this long nterval is her poor health condition. In order to retain my normalcy, I masturebate regularly. Trust that by doing so, I am not causing any harm to myself and whether this halt in bodily contact with my wife will not lead to her ill health.
|
Dear service user, Thank you for writing to Chat Doctor. I understand your concern about possible effect of masturbation. You did not report which health condition your wife suffering from? Hence, you avoid sex. Per se, masturbation for sexual satisfaction is harmless unless both of you are happy. It does not cause any health hazards. Basic thing is pleasure and satisfaction for both of you, however you achieve. Wish you good health.

I had hernia and intestinal blockage surgery on October 28, 2013 due to a previous gastric bypass surgery that I had i 2007. I am now experiencing pain in the belly button area and a foul smell when I urinate. Can this be the due to an infection due to this surgery? I am a little worried about staph.
|
Hi. Foul smell while urinating may not be directly related to the previous surgeries. Yes this can be a chronic infection and should be investigated thoroughly by ultrasonography, urine test for routine, microscopy and culture and sensitivity. A course of 3 weeks of antibiotics according to culture report (if positive) or according to the experience of operating surgeon would solve your problem. Take plenty of oral fluids.

should I go ahead & what back bottom tooth, half filling come off & wisdom tooth pushing under same tooth. Ive been taking antibiotics, 900 mg. 3 days. Dr. wants pull tomorrow. Jaw still swollen. Should I let him Fri or wait until Mon.? still on antibiotic.
|
If the jaw swelling and pain is minimal, and you have had your course of antibiotics then you can get it removed without any trouble. Though if there is a significant pain and swelling that is persisting then it is advisable to wait for a day or two more since any tooth removal in such a case may lead to spread of infection and also difficulty in removal of tooth which the dentist may have to face chair side.

im 6 months pregnant and Im having severe sharp lower back pains its very painful when i shift a wrong way i guess i dont know if this is normal sometimes i have to like stiffen myself so the pain goes away or it just gets stronger. what is causing this type of pain
|
Dear patient Back pain if mild to moderate severity is common during pregnancy due to increased abdominal size. Since you are 6 months during this time The is rapid increase in weight of baby which increase size of uterus and hence abdomen and puts strain on spine. There is nothing to worry about it as it subsides on its own within few months. Take rest for few days and do back exercises. Modify your posture while standing and walking to put less stress on tour spine. If its severe and affects daily activities you can take tab paracetamol 500 mg thrice a day for 3 days for pain relief. Also add calcium supplements to your diet that will increase bone strength. All the best

Hi, I am 21 years of age, about 6 feet tall around 162 pounds. I have had asthma, something that has gotten less severe over time.I have been experiencing pin and needle like pain that shoots up or down my spine. Sometimes into the right side of my head, my right arm and even the right side of my chest. The last few days it has been happening more frequently. What could it be?
|
HI, thanks for using Chat Doctor Abnormal sensations such as the ones that you are experiencing are due to neuropathy. This refers to damage to the nerve due to changes in structure or function of the nerves. It can be central (related to the brain or spinal cord) or peripheral (related to other nerves in the body). Peripheral neuropathy is more common. There are different possible causes such as: (1)vitamin b12 or folate deficiency(2)diabetes(3)trauma(4)exposure to toxins(5)liver or kidney disease(6)some autoimmune diseases(7)stroke, MSI fit continues, it would be best to visit your doctor for an assessment. I hope this helps

Hello doctor, I am one week late as of today for my menstrual period. Currently, my cycle is 38 days. I have been having protected sexual intercourse the past month, but just recently (Day 35) of my cycle, the condom of my partner leaked at the base. So I immediately took emergency contraceptive which is four birth control pills at 5 PM, then another four birth control pills at 5 AM the following morning. I started feeling the side effects, but I am worried since my period is a week late already and I just woke up at 2 AM on day 38 unable to sleep with a weird feeling in my stomach and I am extremely constipated, with tender breasts, and feel sick overall.I would like to know if my period will come soon? If there is a possibility I am pregnant, or if I am just feeling all these symptoms due to hormone imbalances? What I should do in this whole situation since I am very worried about it?
|
Hello. Yes, you are right, your period will come soon and that is most likely possibility. Your symptoms can be due to both pregnancy and/or hormones. Because in pregnancy there is increase in amount of hormones and you just take higher dose of hormones. And symptoms you are experiencing is due to the higher level of hormones in your body which can be due to both reasons. But it is more likely that symptoms are due to the pills you had taken. Because if it is due to pregnancy then pregnancy must be due to earlier intercourse which was protected. So there are very fewer chances of failure in that case. And right now your periods also get extended due to the pills you had taken. Basically, in this situation you should do a urine pregnancy test and see if it comes positive then it is due to the failure of previous precautions. And if it turns to be negative then just wait for seven more days and periods will come. And even after that if your symptoms are increasing in two days then you need to go for a test for confirmation to clear the confusion. ChatDoctor. And do not take much tension. With your history, it is more likely that it is just delayed menses due to emergency pills and side effects of oral hormones. Your period can be irregular for one or two cycles.

my side hurts between my hip and lower ribs on my right side. its been going on for about a month now. im thinking its my kidney. I did a bit of reading and the only other symptoms related to my kidney is dry mouth, metal mouth, the pain in my side, my breathing is different sometimes and a bit of anxiety.
|
Hello, on the right side between the hip and ribs are two main organs i.e. Kidney and the liver. Do you have any other associated symptoms along with the pain? If you only have pain in that region I would suggest you undergo a simple USG scan of abdomen. If everything comes normal then it might just be muscular type of pain also. So I would suggest you to take up a USG scan of abdomen and depending on the report we can see what can be done. Thank you

A few days ago I noticed that there were red dots inside and around my belly button...they dont itch but sensitive a little and hurt like its irritated. It also looks like theres a liquid substance inside my belly button...I have used hydrocortisone cream and it helped a little but I am unsure of what to do and I want to know what it is and what I nedd to do to get it to go away
|
You seem to have developed infection of the umbilical and surrounding area. You should stop using a topical steroid cream over the affected area. Avoid using any oils or moisturizers over it.Instead, you need to apply a topical antibiotics cream over it. Clean it twice a day with a topical antiseptic solution or with warm saline water. Chat Doctor. You might in addition need a short course of oral antibiotic

Im a 46 years old female,i have had a colonoscopy done the first time they removed 4 big poylps,2nd time nothing,last month was admitted over night,my DR.came in room and told me not to come back there was nothing wrong.. I look like i am 7 months pregnant,stomach stays hard and swollen 24-7. I have abdominal pain,stomach feels like its in my chest,i cant breath right,but not sure what is going on or what i should do..they told me last year i had a benign tumor,and a hernia,any help is appreciate.What is going on with me..
|
Hi. The colonoscopy has its own complications, and you already have a hernia and a benign tumor. The probable causes are intestinal obstruction. This can be easily diagnosed by a simple test of X-ray of the Abdomen in standing position as it will show fluid-gas shadows. If you do not get a relief within a few days of conservative treatment like Intravenous fluids, Nasogastric Rules tube aspiration, you may need surgery to get a proper diagnosis and treatment

My 5 year old grandson spits compulsively. My wife and I have observed this seemly non normal behavior for a couple of months now. Physically he seems to be a normal healthy kid from top to bottom; no learning disabilities or behavioral problems. However my wife and I feel compelled to get a professional opinion. Should our diagnosis begin with a doctor or a dentist?
|
Get a torch and look inside the of the baby and try to look if the teeth are all normally aligned or some of the teeth is causing pressure on the inside of cheek? If you could find nothing and the child does not complain of any pain sensation, it's not a dental problem. Then I would not prescribe any medications and ask you to maintain proper oral hygiene with any mouth wash. It's a habit and will resolve slowly with your care.

Today in work I lifted a tote box full of shoes it slipped on the tote under it and hit me in the chest,it really hurt and as soon as I done it i felt sick.it still hurts now,it doesnt hurt to breath but its a constant pain that almost feels like heart burn.should I go to the hospital or should I just rest?
|
Hello! Thank you for asking on Chat Doctor! I understand your concern, and would like to explain that your pain is originated from traumatic injury of chest wall structures.First, it is necessary to exclude important damages of thoracic cage (ribs, sternal fracture, etc. as well as soft tissue contusion, like intercostal muscles and more profound structures: lungs, heart, aorta, esophagus, etc.). I recommend seeking medical help to your local ER service: a careful physical examination, chest X-ray study, pulmonary and cardiac ultrasound, coupled with some lab tests (like AST, ALT, CK-MB, troponin, etc.), would be necessary to rule in/out the above-mentioned potential injuries (depending on severity of shock). Meanwhile, a painkiller medication would be helpful. Hope to have been helpful! Greetings!

Hello doctor,My father is a heart patient and his ejection fraction is 35 %. He is now suffering from kidney stone which is currently stuck in the penis. He has heavy pain during urine passage. The urine flow is almost zero. The doctor suggested for the operation with high cardiac risk. Can catheter open the blockage instead of operation because there is a risk of life due to anesthesia? Please suggest. Currently, he is on Ecosprin gold 10, Prolomet R 25 for heart disease.
|
Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor forum. He has a stone in urethra, just proximal to a stricture (attachment removed to protect patient identity). Opening up of the stricture segment and stone removal will be done at the same time. Cardiac risk is a real risk but is usually managed by good anesthetists. Just catheterization may solve the problem temporarily and may be difficult to pass catheter with stricture. At 62 years of age, I would suggest he should undergo surgery at good center with good anesthetist. And the stricture will need repeated dilatation later. For more information consult an urologist online

My daughter was just released from the hospital last night after being hospitalized with a kidney infection . Before being admitted her temp had gotten as high as 104.6. After being admitted her fever broke and she has been anywhere from 99.2-97.6. Today she has been around 97 but in the last couple of hours I have been checking her and all of her temp readings were 96.7 or as low 96.0. When at the hospital she was having her electrolytes checked also and they had said her crp readings as of yesterday were at 7.5 which was higher than when she had been admitted. Should I be concerned about her body temperature being low like that or is it ok?
|
After the episode of severe sepsis/infection, next about 3-6 months are quite important in that immunity of the affected individual starts getting normal over that duration of time. You need not check temperature records so frequently. Maintain good nutrition, fresh fruit, salads,personal & surrounding hygiene.CRP levels may remain elevated for a long time. You may get her urine culture repeated. Please Do not get unduly concerned about her body temperature. Best of Luck.

Hi my son has been getting recurrent cold cough fever and some times rashes on his body. This is happening almost every fortnightsince cclose to 3 months. My doctor kept saying it is viral. I did a medical cbc as well as iron test.as earlier his iron count was low. Last Monday the doctor prescribed laveta m, immunac and septilin syrups for 3 months. However he still has cold and cough. He has been complaining that his body is scratching. Please advise why could this be happening.
|
HelloYour son is having recurrent episode of cough, cold and fever. Usually fine dusting powder, hay, mite, mold, pollen, increase or decrease in temperature (sudden) , pests (cockroaches) are certain predisposing factors, which triggers these symptoms. These symptoms are also precursor of bronchial asthma (childhood), so avoidance help greatly. When such type of patient visit my clinic I prescribe them to take montelukast+albuterol (10 mg / kg body weight of each tablet). Usually patient respond at once, no need of any antibiotics. When complete relief, stop the Chat Doctor. Levitate is an anti histamine and combination of levoceterizine + montelukast (these only act as an anti allergen) but your son require BRONCHODILATOR. Septilin and immune, no doubt increases immunity but not act as curative. For low iron level try to take some good iron preparation as an OTC product. Hope this will help you.

Hi, my 7 month old baby is suffering from a bad cough since last thursday accompanied by a fever. His fever has subsided since but his cough seems to get worst. There seems to be some yellowish greenish phlegms from his nose as well as mouth when he coughs. Today his voice turns croaky. Will his voice get well as soon as he recovers from the cough?
|
I would like to answer your concern, your child is most likely suffering from CROUP! It is a viral illness in which there is cough and change in voice as you mentioned already. The yellow green phlegm is also due to virus involving the nose and throat. So you can support your child cough and secretion by having nebulization (steam inhalation) through a medicine called epinephrine, you should go to hospital for having this medicine.

Dear Friend, greeting from Chat Doctor. I understand your problems. You need to go for blood transfusion since your HBO is very, very low . Plus iron injections or oral supplements. Take more of iron rich foodstuff. Jagger, nuts, meat, green leafy vegetables, fruits may be with citrus fruits. You need to find out the cause for low HBO. Vitamin deficiency/ pernicious anemia / hook worm infestation / nutritional deficiency. Finding out the cause is very important. Thank you for contacting us and do contact us for more information .

Dear user feel your quarry and I would like to tell you that genital her peal cavity then touching your genitalia cause you to get infected you have may be because of another factor rather than sexual contactalthaugh sexual contact is the main method of transmission of genital herpes, but genital herpes may be caused by indirect contact methods you may have hsv1 infection and then touching mucus membrane or oral cavity then touching your genitalia causing genital herpes also you may touch another person who carry the virus through hands or kissing then touches your genitalia that causes genital herpes so sexual contact is not the only method of transmission, but you should refer your doctor to confirm diagnosis clinically you need not get worry wish you healthy life

Is it true that smelling almonds is a sign of brain tumour? It s happened to me a few times at night (woken me up) - it s a very strong smell as though it s right by my nose and then it s gone. In the past I ve had some weird crackling in my head so right now I m putting two and two together and possibly making five...what are your thoughts?
|
Hi, Symptoms of brain tumors can vary. Abnormal smell are very nonspecific and can be caused by many causes including congestion, sinusitis and allergies. Abnormal smells in neurological disorders are best described in temporal lobe seizures which can be caused by brain tumors. However, there are other signs that can occur with brain tumors. Headache being the most common which is typically positional (worse when lying down and in the morning), vision changes, worsening balance, problems with speech, weakness, numbness and tingling. It really depends on where the tumor is. A crackling in the head is unlikely to be related to any sort of tumor. Such a sound could come from the neck or ears for instance. If you are very concerned you can see a neurologist and have them do a thorough exam on you to see if there is anything abnormal. The gold standard for diagnosis is an MRI and if present then a biopsy, but I think It's highly unlikely that you have one. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

I have been having chest pains and aching in my chest. It will shoot out of the left arm pit. And not I have some weird feeling like a thump that will happen sometime once a day to once or twice an hour. I had open heart surgery when I was ten due to heart murmer because I had a whole in my heart that all the dirty blood was going into the clean blood since I was ten never really had problems until I got pregnant in 2008 and now as time passes it is like they are gerttinf worse the chest pains. I always blow them off because I m still standing or sitting after one and o haven t feel out yet. What is going on and how can I get into a heart doctor asap with no insurance???
|
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. In my opinion you should consult cardiologist and get done few tests for evaluation. Since you had heart surgery and cardiac problems in pregnancy, I think we need to rule out valvular heart disease and endocarditis first. So get done 1. ECG2. 2D ECHO. If valvular heart disease or endocarditis is there than these tests can identify it. So consult cardiologist and discuss all these.

|
Hi, Fetal heart rate of 126 is in normal range. By no water does she mean that the liquor around the baby is less. If so can you tell me what AFI has she written. Also, how much is the baby weight at 28 weeks it should be approximately 1000 g. You will need a detailed ultrasound with Color Doppler to know more about the fetal condition. Kindly get a Doppler done and show this to your obstetrician. Also reasons for small baby could be many. Do you have high BP? How has your weight gain in pregnancy been? Regards.

About the 2nd week of May I got what seemed to be a yeast infection, I did not go to the Gyno nor take any medication I just waited for it to pass which it did after about a week and half. After the symptoms went away I had sexual intercourse and it was extremely painful. So I took another break for about 2 weeks or so and had sexual intercourse last night and it was fine once he was in, but when he got out and tried to get back in it was extremely painful. The only way I know how to describe it is it felt like skin burn from the rubbing. Any suggestions?

Thanks for posting you query to Chat Doctor. As you said you are having yeast infection, but yeast are not always pathogenic as they can be present as communal vaginal flora. So you should be investigated to find out other infection. Genital infection are usually due to sexually transmitted infection (STD) and acquire by contact with infected partner. There are a group of organism causes STD. So I suggest you to fist you should confirm your diagnosis .you should be investigated for :1. Microscopic examination of Vaginal discharge. If discharge is not present Vaginal Swab can be used it will suggest you causative organism and about your microbial flora.However, syn Chat Doctor. But always remember treatment should be always given to your sexual partner also and keep sexual abstinence or use condom until you get cured. Hope you would be satisfied with my answer. Feel free to communicate if any query.regards,

Hi. I have a question about possible pregnancy. Today is tuesday and this weekend I had unprotected sex. I had it on friday, saturday and sunday morning. Friday was my first day of the period and the guy also pulled it out. Though he did have some pre cum and im not exactly sure if he did pull out the last time. It was also my first time to have sex. On monday morning I took a plan B. Is it possible that I could still become pregnant?
|
Hallow Dear, Since you had intercourses during menstruation, there is no possibility of any pregnancy. There was no need of plan B pill also considering then timing of your intercourses. The egg is formed 14 days prior to the next menses. Egg has 24 hours life and the sperms are active for 72 hours. Hence, a period of about a week around the day of egg release is a fertile period. Your intercourses were far away from this period. Hence, there is the least possibility of pregnancy. However, I would like to advise you to avoid sex during menstrual period lest the risk of infection. I hope this helps you.

A brain mri is done: the part of the astrocytoma that has high contrast is growing very slow but the low contract is growing very slow. The high contract is the most damaging part of the tumor. question: is the low contrast part where the swelling is?
|
Hi, Thank you for posting your query. It would be useful, if you can upload the MRI pictures or at least the complete radiologist report of the MRI. This would help us answer your question better. In a tumor, one can have areas growing at different rates, and also the aggressiveness of tumor varies in different areas. The tumor is surrounded by an area of swelling, which may not enhance well with contrast. I hope my answer helps. Please get back if you require any additional information. Wishing you good health, Chat Doctor. Ly/

My mother is 52 & 5ft 6in. Lately she has been having high blood pressure ranging from 159/104 - 173/92. Its usually lower than this, but lately it has been high. Is this something she should be concerned about & maybe even seek medical attention for?

Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Yes, sh should definitely consult doctor for this blood pressure reading. Common causes for hypertension in females are 1. Increasing age (stiffness of arteries) 2. Post menopausal age (low estrogen) 3. Family history. So first two are likely causes in your mothers case. She should definitely consult doctor and get done 1. Blood pressure control 2. ECG and 2d echo to rule other heart diseases 3. Sugar level time rule out diabetes 4. Lipid profile to rule out dyslipidemia. She will need antihypertensive Chat Doctor. Along with

|
Hi dearWelcome to Chat Doctor. The treatment of acne depends on the extent and type of acne. For this purpose I guess you need to see a doctor. A doctor would recommend antibiotics, vitamin supplements, retinoids. Combination of these will successfully treat acne. To remove the scars caused due to acne, treatment with retinoids can help. If you can find it working, you can opt for laser treatment, which is quite effective. Take care.

I m looking at the effects of low blood pressure starting the day 97/61 with a heart beat of 64. Movement to cerebral biofeed through oxygenated hike in the trails of autumn under rainy and 10 degrees conditions. What I find consistent is; only after a sweated workout do I sense the pathological pain pressures of the left parietal quadrant; that quadrant is completely separated and pain in persistent. The reason for the workout is for picking up the chi energy of the 4 oclock cycle.
|
Hello! Welcome on Chat Doctor! Regarding your concern, I would explain that low blood pressure can be associated to different symptoms: - pressure headache-blurring vision-shortness of breath-ear noise-fainting and loss of conscience. It is quite normal to experience low blood pressure after a lot of physical activity. It may be related to sweating and deny Chat Doctor. Hope you will find this answer helpful! Kind regards,

My 7 yo boy was attempting a karate kick yesterday on a carpeted floor, and both legs flew out from under him and he landed on his back and back of head. He was upset for a while, then felt sick and vomited. Took him to the ER where he was fully checked out and sent home, and told me to monitor him for a week. Now I m constantly anxious and watching him like a hawk, and need a little reassurance. Could he have vomited from just falling on his back, or usually is this head injury behavior? He seems totally fine, I just can t let it go....Thanks!
|
Hi, First be reassured that your kid is normal. I will suggest you danger signs of head injury:-1. Vomiting continuously2. Seizures3. Watery of bloody discharge from ears and nose4. Unconsciousness5. Altered sensorial or behavior. If none of them are present, I don't think you should worry about his trivial head injury. For pain, you can give oral Paracetamol every 4-6th hourly. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

I have a paralysis of long thoracic nerve (right arm) 25 years, winged scapula etc. Take 3600mg Neurontin daily. Had pneumonia in February, still not breathing well, sats of 92. Pleural thickening raised diaphragm, painful, tired, short of breath, partially collapsed lung. Have been told, all will sort itself, or my body will just adjust & get used as it has my thoracic nerve dying. Doc mentioned something beginning with Ac----- something, lungs are tight, I want to breathe in, but a nerve, maybe connected to the thoracic nerve is preventing me from filling my lungs. So much to take in, I am 45, I spent 6 years welding in shipyards, breathing lead fumes, zinc fumes, iron filings & have worked with asbestos. No blockage inside lung, been told, there is something stopping me breathing in. Any ideas what could be up with me?
|
Hello, As there might be a paresis of the thoracic nerve and not paralysis. Because if its paralysis then you need to be put on ventilator support. Since there is breathing difficulties I feel there is a respiratory system pathology due to the work-related factors. Since the inspiration and expiration abilities are lowered in will advise you to look for CPAP machine with oxygen saturation machine. In fact BiPAP will be far better. This will help your pulmonary system to function close to normal and also will help the lungs fill the air. As due to the pathology there is less ability of the alveoli and needs a correction. Medicine is symptomatic and along with that a BiPAP machine with oxygen saturation would do good. Also try pulmonary rehabilitation under guided physiotherapist. As this will help you improve the lung capacities and help you ease of dyspnea. It's a matter of good pulmonary rehabilitation training. In my clinical experience of 12 years most patients with respiratory complications have responded well to pulmonary rehabilitation. Using of the CPAP BiPAP and oxygen saturation is totally dependent upon the clinical findings and this machines can be used at home for large number of hours to improve the overall function of the respiratory system. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Jay In Chat Doctor.

dr.my son 1 year 3 months old he is suffering from loose motions past 1week. (loose motion lost one or two drops blood colour motion). what is the best way to stop blood colur motions until we go to the doctor for consultation. please help me dr. by. Mother P.Arulmani.
|
Hi, blood color stools in a child occurs due to acute gastroenteritis due to stomach infection, worm infestation. At this age, child usually puts everything in mouth and as a result, it results in infection in intestine and stomach. Prebiotic like enterogermina ampule should be given once a day for 3 days to increase intestine eliminator. If bloody stools persist then antibiotic needs to be started. Kindly do stool for routine microscopic test and stool for occult blood test. This will help us in confirming the diagnosis. An examination by doctor should be done so that we may not miss any important finding. Review with reports. Take care.

Hi I am Chat Doctor. . You may have a kind of nerve compression, you may use painkillers like (NSAIDs) Tylenol tabs when needed, hot gentle massaging with topical anti-inflammatory gels, muscle relaxants, B12 vitamin supplements will be effective in most of the cases. In more severe or chronic cases steroid tabs or injections are prescribed if required. If these symptoms persists or does not respond to medications I recommend MRI scan on spine to exclude any spinal injury or discs or herniation and follow them up with your neurologist for proper evaluation and management. Please click and consider a 5-star rating with some positive feedback if the information was helpful. Wish you good health, Any further clarifications feel free to ask.

My 8 week old baby has been inconsolable all day, and has been unable to finish a bottle, she stops half way as it seems to cause her discomfort. there is a small number of white sores in her mouth (inside cheek and bottom gum) which resemble ulcers more than oral thrush. could newborns get mouth ulcers and if so, how do i treat it?
|
Hello, I can understand your concern. It seems that the child has been infected with some virus, and it is presenting as white ulcers in the mouth. For relief in the pain, you can apply local Endocrine gel (McCoppin) over the sores. They will improve healing, too. However, I advise you to visit a pediatrician once for the consultation and ruling out presence of viral disease and if it presents, its treatment. I hope this information helps you. Thank you for choosing Chat Doctor. I wish the baby feels better soon. Best,

|
Hi. The blood throughout he the bowel movement and the history you have noted, this can be due to ulcerative colitis or IBS with severe colitis. I would recommend you to undergo colonoscopy to see the reason, get a biopsy done and institute appropriate treatment. Get stared on an antibiotic, probiotics, metronidazole and supportive treatment. Get investigated : blood, urine and stool tests, ultrasonography, colonoscopy.

Hello dear, Welcome to Chat Doctor. I have read your query and understood your concern. For pigmentation, Bolivia you may use but floor is a steroidal cream which is not advisable for acne, that too on face and for such a prolonged time. In such cases, i usually advice my patients to apply aider 20% cream over the lesions in nighttime and clindamycin gel in the morning. In moderate to sever acne, oral antibiotics like doxycycline, minocycline are advice. I hope it helps. If you have further queried, you may ask me.

My MRI report said - central and right paracentral disc bulge causing right anterolateral thecal sac indentation.right lateral recess stenosis resulting compression over the L5 traversing nerve on right side at L 4-5 level. will i become alright without any operation ?
|
Hi, thanks for providing the brief history of you. As you mentioned the MRI reports you missed to mention your symptoms. Because most of the scans may reveal many things but has to correlate with clinical signs and symptoms of the patient which is always mentioned in the reports.in case you have not tried physical therapy you can please try the same as it is a non-invasive way of helping patients with disc injury and other most cases. Your physician will help you by medicine which will help you to get ease of pain symptomatically. Also to mention that use of a therapeutic ultrasound therapy and TENS for this issue by a physical therapist helps the pain level to come down. Post that an exercise regimen is implemented which helps strengthen the muscles and release the compression from the nerve which also reduces the symptoms to a great extent. Usually most patient of mine have responded well under the medicine and physical therapy. I never had to recommend the patient to undergo surgery in 99% of cases. With the grace of God I wish you a speedy recovery

Hi hemp, Thanks for writing to Chat Doctor. Hysteroscopy helps to diagnose any polyp or adhesions in uterus and also uterotubal junction defects. But it won't help to know tubal patency. I suggest my patients to undergo tubal patency test before GUI. I would suggest you to undergo tubal patency test. If tubes are patent you can try 3 more cycles of GUI. Routinely we advise GUI for 6 cycles. If that fails IVF(in vitro fertilization) is next option. But no procedure have 100% success rate. Hope I have been helpful. Regards Chat Doctor.

My mother in law is 65 and has stage 4B cervical cancer. She was given 2-3 years max by her doctor. She has had chemo and radiation and is having more chemo. She has neuropathy in her feet and a little in her hands. There are lessions on her liver and a few spots on her lung. What would your life expectancy be for her?
|
Hi, Thanks for writing in. Unfortunately the cervix cancer your mother-in-law is having is in stage 4 disease because it has spread to liver. In this condition surgery cannot be done. The only methods of treatment available are chemotherapy and radiation therapy. These will help control the disease and delay progress. Survival in stage 4 cancer is 2 years with chemotherapy and radiation therapy. Without treatment the patient might survive only for 6 months. Therefore, it is important to provider her good nutrition and supportive care. Any pain needs to be treated with pain relief medicines. Please prevent infections in urinary bladder from happening due to cervix cancer. Supportive care is important for her. Please do not worry.

Thanks for asking in Chat Doctor forum In Short: Your medication may not be the causeExplanation: Since you have toothache, that may be causing you headache.

Your condition may be due to both Stress(Anxiety Disorder) and Stomach ulcer rather Acid Peptic Disorder with or without H. Pylori Infection. If you are not getting relief managing your Stress, You can try medications like Histamine 2 receptors antagonists - Cimetidine, Sanitizing, Famotidine can be given in divided doses. Or Proton pump inhibitor - Omeprazole, pantoprazole, and lansoprazole can be given in morning empty stomach. Anticholinergic Chat Doctor. If no relief, H. pylori infection may be present, treatment is combinations of 2 antibiotics (e.g. Azithromycin, Amoxicillin, Tetracycline, Metronidazole) and 1 proton pump inhibitor (PPI), sometimes together with a bismutChatDoctorpound. In complicated, treatment-resistant cases, 3 antibiotics (e.g. amoxicillin + azithromycin + metronidazole) may be used together with a PPI and sometimes with bismutChatDoctorpound. An effective first-line therapy for uncomplicated cases would be Amoxicillin + Metronidazole + Pantoprazole (a PPI). In the absence of H. pylori, long-term higher dose PPI's are often used. More over habit of smoking or using any form of tobacco preparations, consumption of alcohol, tea, coffee, frequent use of analgesics for headache or body pain should be avoided.

Dear Friend. Hi, I am Chat Doctor, I have read your query in detail, I understand your concern. Tightness cannot be treated as such, but symptomatic relief you can get by applying a lot of moisturizers locally. Also, a good systemic treatment you should take, that would slow the progression of the disease and skin tighteningThis is my personal opinion based on details available here.

hello Dr. last Friday i visited my cardiologist for an echo and a cardiogram. He mentioned to me that my pulse rate was low-40 and that i nedd to wear a Holter for 24h .i am a 65 yr. old male ,athletic, former runner, gym rat, always had a low resting pulse of 45-50. I am on Diovan 80mg/crestor 5mg/trilipix and lovaza! Should i be concerned here? will i need a pacemaker?
|
Hello and thank you for using Chat Doctor. I carefully read your question and I understand your concern. You don't have to worry. Slow heart beat may be quite normal in young people and in well-trained persons. If you tell me that you are a former runner, athletic one than we don't have to worry. It is quite known in cardiology that athletic people have slow heart rates. As a well-trained person you have as you say a slow heart rate and this is quite normal. If you don't have any symptoms like fatigue or syncope you have nothing to worry. Of course, as you are a 65 years old its quite normal to do a cardiac check up with echo and even a holder monitoring. It will show us better your rhythm tendency during the day. But as far as you tell me, my opinion as a cardiologist is that you should not worry and of course you don't need a pacemaker. This will be obvious of course after our holder exam. Hope I was helpful. Wish you good health. Best regards.

Hallow Dear, the main question is whether you are pregnant or not! Your pregnancy tests are negative, your doctor could not locate the fetus (by which method?). On what grounds are you presuming that you are pregnant? My advice is to get ultrasonography done. It will help you to diagnose the status of your pregnant, assess its gestational age and help you to calculate the due date of delivery. If ultrasonography shows that you are not pregnant, then the cause of your delayed period will have to be investigated. Reproduction hormonal imbalance, Thyroid dysfunction, etc. may cause menstrual irregularity. You will need a thorough work up if you are not pregnant. If you are pregnant, ultrasonography will help you decide the due date of parturition. Otherwise, the simplest formula to calculate due date is date of last menstrual period + 9 months + 7 days. I hope this serves your purpose.

I I have just found that my sister has a type of lymphoma called adrenocortical carcinoma. She can no longer speak except to whisper. She has three small tumors on her brain and they are starting radiation tomorrow. In addition she has two tumors in her lung and another on her vocal cord or esophagus...she isn t sure and hasn t said whether they are treating that along with the radiation or what they will be doing with her lung tumors. I will be going to Boise Id. where she currently lives to try to help her through this. I can t see a good outcome for this and wouldn t ever let her know that. I would like to know your feeling about treatment as I know from what I ve read and heard from a close friend (Dr.) who practices in in Fla. that the future with going through treatment will make her very sick and her quality of life not good at best. Do you feel the prognosis is such that she could go through all of this if there isn t a good chance that she ll survive? I know it s not a yes or no questions....I should also tell you she is in stage IV. I am not very hopeful. Thank you in advance for your consideration. Maris
|
Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. She has metastatic cancer. It is already in stage 4. Surgery is not possible at this stage. Treatment of choice is chemotherapy and radiotherapy. However, despite treatment prognosis is very poor. Life expectancy is very low. Chemotherapy and radiotherapy definitely make her more sick and quality of life is also bad. It is better to leave her without treatment. Consult your doctor and take treatment accordingly. Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Wish you a very good health.

Should someone go ahead and start the first session of chemotherapy to treat hodgkins lymphoma if one has caught a cold?My brother-in-law is 63 years old and he is supposed to start his chemotherapy this coming Tuesday. I was informed yesterday that he has been diagnosed with Hodgkins disease 10 days ago. We are all shocked. I do not know his weight. He is tall. I do not know his medical history. I live in Europe and he lives in South Africa. It is winter out there and he has caught a cold. Should he postpone or go ahead with the chemotherapy given that he has caught a cold?I am sorry this is all I know at the moment. I do not know what stage of the disease he is in nor if the lymphoma has spread from his lymph nodes to and organs or to his blood system. I also do not know what type of Hodgkins Disease he has. I know there are at least 4 or 5 different types. I would be most grateful if you couls advise whether the treatment should be postponed until after he has fully recovered from the cold. Many thanks in advice for your reply.
|
Hi, Thanks for writing in. It is suggested that he gets a complete blood count done, and then it will be known if his cold infection is of a severe grade. If there is severe infection then it will be wise to provide treatment and then allow him to recover over a week or 10 days before initiating chemotherapy. A week of wait is acceptable, and the chemotherapy might be planned such that he is physically fit at the time of commencement of treatment. Please note that every patient will feel weak after chemotherapy and his health will go down. He requires good care and support. Please do not worry.

I got hit on the inside of my leg right below my knee with a soccer ball over a week ago it didn t hurt at first n then swelled up after 5 mins and bruised instantly... My leg then and is still randomly getting tight feeling like a circulation issue since then and the bruise has gotten worse and started to spider down my leg.. Should I be worried?
|
Hi, Thank you for providing the brief history of you. A thorough musculoskeletal assessment is advised. As you had a sports injury, the RICE protocol have to be implemented instantly. Now with the mechanism of injury what I understand is that the ball has hit the leg directly and after a few minutes the swelling has started. So there might be a compression injury to the muscles and the vascular system too. Which needs a thorough examination. Using the contrast bath technique will help provide the changes in the vascular mechanism and also the healing process. Also, for swollen knee, we need to check for any ligament injury too. For which an MRI might be needed after a sports musculoskeletal assessment. Later stages, with physical therapy you can regain the knee mechanism better under the complete sports rehabilitation of the knee. In my clinical practice, such cases comes with sports injuries and after a thorough assessment and knee rehabilitation the back to sports is achieved. RegardsJay In Chat Doctor.

Hello doctor,I have been getting a cold drop of water sensation all over my body. It is more noticeable on the legs. I often go to clean the water, but there is nothing there. It only gets triggered when clothes touch it. I also have muscle twitching all over the body and a muscle tension on my right arm. I also noticed I am losing hair from my left eyebrow. I have no weakness, tiredness or loss of balance. No diseases run in my family, not even diabetes or cancer. I am a hypochondriac, and I was panicking for almost two weeks just because I noticed my finger was a little crooked and it was just normal. But now, I have developed real symptoms. Can anxiety cause such real symptoms? I am really scared.

I had an injury to my elbow including a small cut. After approximately 12 hour I developed a sharp pain and swelling to the joint. 24 hours later I still have inflammation and swelling. The elbow is warm to the touch. Now experiencing pain in other joints. Should I be worried about infection or is this just a normal reaction to the original injury ?
|
You could be developing an infection in your elbow. There is a small bursa (fluid sac to help joints move) at the tip of the elbow which can easily get infected with even minor trauma. It would be best to have it looked at and get on antibiotics if necessary. I can't say why you are having pain in other joints; this is not a typical reaction. You could be in the early stages of a viral infection. But get the elbow checked, and they can also look at your other joints and see what's happening there. Hope this helps.

My mother has a cyst in the head of her pancreas that has grown from 17 to 22 mm. She is having pain in her side radiating through her back. Shes had a ct scan, mri, and ultrasound. Shes been told its only a cyst, but her gastrologist wants to check the fluid in the cyst. Should she be concerned?
|
Welcome to Chat Doctor. 1. The history suggest cyst in the pancreas - if it is a simple cyst then anyone will recommend getting a followup and monitored.2. Since its symptomatic and size is increasing in size - it needs attention.3. An diagnostic taping will be good to know what type of cells are involved in the process.4. If simple infective etiology - therapeutic taping followed by antibiotic treatment and followup will be indicated. 5. And pancreatic enzymes need to be monitored. Good luck.

A few days of taking the cholesterol pill, ATORVASTATIN, I had horrible back pain that started in the lower back, moved up to the middle the second day, then in between the shoulders. I am pretty sure I did not do anything to cause a strain. It felt more like aching muscles, not pulled muscles. After four days of this, the pain disappeared. A few days passed, then I developed a little cough, scratchy throat, almost like an allergy, but it was more persistent. It would go on throughout the night. I took myself off the cholesterol med about three days ago and I have not had any more cough. This is the first time I have been on medicine for cholesterol. What do you think?
|
Hi I am Chat Doctor. . I hope you feel better soon, It is a kind of allergy or hyper sensitivity reaction may be due to your medication or else maybe this is a sort of cervical radiating pain due to neurovascular compression on nerve endings in your spine at the cervical region. In most of the cases pain may subside simultaneously without medication with rest and avoiding any heavy lifting, over weighing, vigorous movements and bad sleeping and sitting postures. For my patients I may recommend Advil tabs when needed, hot gentle massaging with topical anti-inflammatory gels, B12 vitamin supplements and muscle relaxants with some neck stretching exercises and spinal straightening exercises will be effective for most of the cases .in more severe and chronic cases steroid tabs or injections are prescribed. If pain persists I recommend MRI scan on cervical vertebrae to exclude any disc herniation and follow them up with your neurologist for better evaluation and management. Please click and consider a 5-star rating with some positive feedback if the information was helpful. Wish you good health, Any further clarifications feel free to ask.

My lower legs, feet, knees have moderate pain daily. I also suffer from being tired, fatigue, abdominal pain. Went to a Care Now 6 months ago and was prescribed anti-inflammatory drugs. My blood came back slightly elevated, dr was not concerned. This pain has been increasing for the past year and half. I consider myself to be healthy and active on days I can walk.

Hi Dear, Welcome to Chat Doctor. Understanding your concern. As per your query you have severe knee pain, fatigue, lower leg pain and abdominal pain. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query mononucleosis, Lyme disease, sinusitis, diabetes, type 2, rheumatoid arthritis or multiple sclerosis. I would suggest you to consult orthopedic surgeon for proper examination. Doctor may order certain test like MRI of knees, check for hernia, sciatic and order blood test. Doctor may also refer you to gastroenterologist for gastric problem or ENT specialist for sinusitis like problem. For now take ibuprofen or acetaminophen for pain, Chat Doctor. Hope your concern has been resolved. Get Well Soon. Best Wishes,

My son is 6 months old now. I have started with mashed foods like carrots, apples, vegetables and cerelac. The doctor also asked us to start with lactogen. But he does not drink lactogen at all. Is it really necessary that he takes lactogen? If yes is there an alternative?
|
Weaning with semi solids is recommended from 6 months of age. You can give mashed rice boiled along with pulses and the vegetables that you mentioned. Basically it is a transition to adult food and practically any adult food low on spices can be introduced gradually but in the mashed form. Lactose or milk is an accessory and may not be given if other nutritive principles are included. If the child is not taking lactose, it is not a cause of concern, and you need not worry and there is no need to look for alternatives.

Hello. I have recently been diagnosed with C6 radiculopathy caused by herniated disc. As well as the arm pain, I have nausea, which I first thought was because of the pain because it was only came on when the pain was really bad. Now I am taking Tramadol and Lyrica for tha pain and the pain is a little better, but the nausea seems worse. Could the nausea be caused by the nerve irritation, or is it likely to be something else entirely?
|
Hi, thank you for providing the brief history of you. Since you mentioned you have C6 level radiculopathy it is the matter to get treated for it by having a close communication with a spine surgeon and a physical therapist. Your nausea is because of the tramadol as most medicines have one or the other effects. Your nausea cannot be because of the nerve irritation. You need to get a meeting with a physical therapist who will first help for pain relief via TENS as most research have proved it to be successful for controlling pain. Later on doing physical exercise under the guidance of the physical therapist for strengthening the muscles of the neck and upper limb. Once the articular symptoms comes down your tramadol will be stopped and your nausea feeling will be gone. Too much of tramadol on long term will affect the kidney and increase the creatinine levels and later on painkiller will be contra indicated for you. So have a good and smooth recovery I recommend you to start physical therapy and get helped. With the grace of God I wish you a speedy recovery

Hi, i have a swollen gum at the back of my teeth(molar). It all started after eating unripe paw-paw(its not the first time im eating that). Overnight, i woke up with a swollen gum, i took paracetamol after sometime the swelling went down and the pain subsided. Later on, it wasnt working. I started taking another pain relieving called labdic relief along side vit C, applying bonjela on the affected gum, and washing my mouth with diluted TCP. Later on, it stopped reacting to that treatment. Then i decided to take ampiclox which after taking i noticed another swollen gum beside the tooth after the molar(that is the second to the last tooth) now both swellings are almost covering up the molar(the last tooth). Is it wrong to take ampiclox or am i reacting to something? I hope to see the dentist soon but i dont have enough money yet to pay for the treatment, so theres something i can take to reduce the pain while i try to get money. Thank you
|
Hello! Thank you for posting here. This can be a gingival abscess. A piece of the unripe fruit you have taken can be struck in your gingival and causing this. Debri and bacteria can accumulate in the area and started with an infection. You cannot remove it with a home remedy. You can spread the infection even if you try to remove at home. I suggest you to see your dentist for a root planning on the involved teeth. Swelling in the other tooth suggests spread of the infection and not allergy to Tampico. Gargle with warm saline thrice daily. Eat in small pieces chewing completely. Do not bite fully. Regards.

MRI shows flattening of the ventral sac and ventral cord as well as severe foraminal stenosis, but currently not in pain. I just do not have full range of motion in my neck. Surgery is not required if I am not in pain. Correct? I am an active runner/cyclist and go to the gym. I am hoping I can continue with gym with no heavy lifting and thinking I am ok to run. I am assuming probably should lay off the bike. My appt with Neurosurgeon is Feb 14th. c5-c6-there is a broad based central & right posterior disc herniation with endplate ostephyte formation. There is flattenting of the thecal sac & ventral cord. There os mild to moderate central canal stenosis and moderate to severe right foraminal stenosis.
|
Hello, Your MRI findings suggest that you have a lot of spinal stenoses that compresses the medulla and the nerve. Even though now you do not have much pain, but you have stiffness. Sooner or later the disease will progress. I would suggest you not to neglect these signs but discuss with the neurosurgeon or spine surgeon for surgery the pros and cons of surgery. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Im on ortho patch ,I always change my patch on mondays and one monday on the first week a start a new patch bc my period ended I forgot to put on the patch bc it was a holiday and i forgot to bring it with me .so i didnt get a chance to put in on in about 24 hours .My mom said to just put it on right away and i would be fine .but about 2 weeks later my period was very irregular it was very light pink spotting then it turned a little brown ,I was a little confused bc my period is always a normal flow since ive been on the patch ....I do have some pregnancy symptoms but im not sure if i should just take a pregnancy test i just wanted someones opinion
|
Hi, The present symptoms of irregular spotting could be either due to an early pregnancy or the hormonal disturbance created by the delayed application of the patch. You can test for pregnancy if it has been more than three weeks after your last cycle through the blood test as urine pregnancy test may not give you any definite conclusions right away. I would ask you to see a gynecologist for an examination as well to correct if it happens to be a hormonal disturbance or further management if it is a pregnancy. Hope this helps.

Hi, thanks for the query;sleep problems are often manifest in people with night shift work. Rather than taking the usual sleeping pills like alprazolam; you can try medications like Agomelatine, Hamilton which naturally alter your bodies sleeping rhythm & are non addicting. Second option is use of sleep restriction; that is at the end of shift work, don't sleep during early morning hours & instead sleep during afternnon-evening hours to ensure at least 6 hours & preferably 7 hours before your night shift begins Consult your GP/Psychiatrist for medications or get back to me for further assistance Hope this helps; good luck

|
Hello! Thank you for asking on Chat Doctor! I understand your concern and would like to explain to you that Marian syn Chat Doctor. Aortic wall consistency may be damaged, manifested with aortic dilatation and aneurysms, sometimes leading to aortic wall dissection. Thus, it is of utmost importance to follow up aortic dimensions and structure, in order to be right in time for any needed intervention. Facing your actual aortic diameter, seems that it is around the upper limit of normal. So, you have to be very careful with your hypertensive therapy. Beta-blockers (Atenolol) are the main stay of therapy. You have to follow your doctor advice to start Losartan even at a higher dose, if it is judged necessary for controlling blood pressure. To may try other antihypertensive medications as well (always under medical advice and supervision). If aortic diameter increases more than 50-55 mm, despite appropriate therapy, then a strict supervision for a near and potential aortic surgery would be necessary (to avoid a fatal aortic dissection and rupture). Hope to have been helpful. Greetings!

Hi, Thanks for writing to Chat Doctor. Routinely I advise prolific for 3 to 6 cycles and if it fails to conceive then change to alternative Chat Doctor. I suggest you to get your tubal patency done and if it is normal go for GUI. It is intrauterine ingestion of sperms. Here sperms are washed and processed, and healthy sperms are placed in uterus. This will increase the chances of pregnancy. You can go for 4 to 6 cycles of GUI. There are no strict rules to tell exactly when you can conceive. You should have positive attitude and try your best. Don't take stress. That is major cause for infertility. Hope I have been helpful. Regards

I am getting my Mirena removed next week and I am wondering if the removal of an IUD causes ovulation. I am wanting to get pregnant as soon as possible and need to know what the chances of an immediate pregnancy are. I have had my iud since April 2011 and have only had one period while it was in place. I havent had any problems with the iud.
|
Hi, IRENA is not a simple IUD. It has hormones impregnated, which were entering your body & suppressing your bodies hormones. It will take some time for your body to start the regular cyclical hormonal production. Usually within a month or two you will have normal hormone levels, so normal ovulation. Usually after such suppression body hormone show a surge & suddenly good number of follicles start growing & pregnancy chances are good. Hope I have cleared your Doubtful the best Chat Doctor.

|
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. You have achieved the desired blood pressure of 122/74 MMH with this antihypertensive Chat Doctor. This is good thing. But your heart rate is very high (97) and you are also having suffocating feeling. So we should definitely rule out heart diseases like coronary artery disease (CAD) in your case. So get done ECG and 2d echo first. If both these are normal then no need to worry about CAD. Sometimes, stress and anxiety can also cause similar kind of suffocating feeling. So avoid stress and tension, be relaxed and calm. Continue antihypertensive

Hello, I have studied your case. Medication like methylcobalamine with muscle relaxant and analgesic will reduce pain; you can take them consulting your treating doctor. Some exercises which can be done after pain has reduced include-Spine extension exercises, lying on your stomach flat lift leg 6 inches from ground, do it for other leg. Now lift both hand and leg simultaneously, 6 inches off the ground and supposition for around 10 breathes. Core stabilizing spine exercises will help. You may consult physiotherapist for further guidance. He may start TENS, or ultrasound which is helpful in your case. I will advise checking your it B12 and it D3 level. If MRI shows disc compressing on nerve root then surgical decompression is permanent solution. Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow-up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries. If you find this answer helpful do not hesitate to rate this answer at end of discussion. Take care.

Hi, Thanks for your query. Your pain is due to Arthritis. When bone is not able to take weight due to arthritis than it has to be shared by muscles. Also, some time it can be due to nerve compression. You can judge your self. If your pain increases on walking and relieved with rest, it is suggestive of nerve related pain. Arthritis pain is present even when you are taking rest. I will suggest you following. Hot water fomentation. Volition ointment Tablet Pregabalin M one daily at nighttime. Calcium and vitamin D3 daily. Tablet Tramadol one daily. Please consult your doctor before taking those medicines. I do hope that you have found something helpful, and I will be glad to answer any further query. Take care

I am a male 71 years old.I have developed sever medium sized cyst type knots under my scalp on the back of my head in my hair line. they are somewhat painful and are seeming to get large. This started about a week ago and is getting worse by the day?
|
Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor, A cyst is a sac that is filled with a fluid or semi-fluid material. Cysts develop in various places in the body, and it also arises from scalp. The most common types of cyst that occur under the skin surface of the scalp are epidermis and polar cysts. These cysts used to be called sebaceous cysts. An epidermis cyst is a cyst where the cyst sac forms from cells that normally occur on the top layer of the skin. A polar cyst is a cyst where the cyst sac forms from cells similar to those that are in the bottom of hair follicles. The cyst can be easily removed by a simple operation under local anesthetic. Thank you.

Hi, I broke my back in two places a couple years ago. I was lifting weights and had 2 anterior compression fractures of the L2 and L3 vertebrate. When I went in at first they did an xray and said I was fine. I kept having muscle spasms and kept coming into the hospital. I didn t have insurance so they would nt do an mri and they labeled me a drug seeker due to other people going in for drugs. So I finally got indigent insurance and an mri was done and they found the fractures. I received an apology and an explanation. I also received a spinal tap to asparate the fracture area. So about a month goes by and I lose 50 pounds and I m sick every day so I start frequenting the hospital again and they label me as a drug seeker AGAIN! All they do is give me a bag of saline and tell me to go home and I even had to go in by ambulance a couple times because I couldn t even get off of the floor! So about a month after that I go to a hospital out of state almost incoherent and they do an xray and find staph right where the spinal tap was done(MSSA). I get flight for lifed out of state to another hospital where I am on a pick line with antibiotics for 6 weeks until my platelets drop so they had to put me on oral antibiotics for 2 weeks. I barely survived. I came back to my home state and there s obviously no apology this time because they messed up bad. So about a year goes by and my neck starts hurting bad and they mri it and find arthritis as bad as a 60 year old. Now my back is hurting again bad and I have had numerous visits to the ER but don t have insurance again and no way to treat pain where there is significant damage. What do I do? Free clinics wont prescribe pain meds and everyone labels you as a drug seeker because meds are so highly abused these days so do I just need to go score some smack (kidding!) to treat this or what can I possibly do? Sorry don t have money to have question answered.

Hello, I have studied your case. Physiotherapy like ultrasound and inferential therapy will give quick relief. For these symptoms analgesic and neurotrophic medication like pregabalin and methylcobalamine can be started consulting your doctor. Till time, avoid lifting weights. I will advise checking your it B12 and it D3 level. Your lumbar scan also shows some disc bulge but not compressing nerve root. So continue physiotherapy for lumbar spine also. Epidural injection shot may help if no relief. Avoid lifting weights. Avoid bending forwards. Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow-up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries. Wishing you good health. Take care.

I just had a Brain MRI and was told it came back with some abnormalities, but nothing acute, and have beenscheduled to see a Neurologist. Im very nervous about this. Im 53 yrs old and I do have Fibromyalgia andDeg Disk Disease in My neck and Back, and do suffer from severe Migraines from the Fibromyalgia. I guessIm just trying to figure out what could be wrong, Oh and I guess I should tell you they did the MRI as I startedlosing my balance and getting dizzy about 4 months ago. I appreciate anything you can tell me.

Hi, Thank you for posting your query. I can understand your anxiety after being told that there are a few abnormalities in it. However, it is pleasing to note that the abnormalities do not require any emergency attention.

We consulted a Gynac yesterday...she told that the egg has got released from the ovary of my wife...She suggested us to have intercourse as the egg would be alive for about 48 hours...i wanted to know what are the chances of my wife becoming pregnant??
|
Hi, Rightly said Egg has life of around 48 hrs, but is very healthy for 24 hrs only. Sperms stay alive for 3 days, that is 72 hrs. So chances of pregnancy is high if you have sex just before ovulation & also for next 2-4 days. Sperms should reach the tube first & then wait for the egg to come into tube, where they meet & form the baby. Then baby moves & fixes in the uterus. Chances of pregnancy in normal couple is only 10 %. That's because the healthy egg may not meet the healthy sperm always. Healthy doesn't mean you have a problem. Incidentally the egg or the sperm chosen may not be good. If you are lucky, you may be in that 10 % & you get the best sperm to meet the best egg & you have a healthy lovely baby. These are something's we cannot control. All the best, God bless you Chat Doctor.

There is a hard lump on the outer side of my butt It has been there at least 3 years It has bbeen seen by a doctor before and they said not to worry about it But this few months it has grown bigger and more painful than before It got no other symptom Just the lump itself Could it be anything serious
|
Welcome to Chat Doctor. 1. The long-standing history of lump suggest benign pathology (non-cancerous) most likely lipoma.2. But present symptoms could be due to complications in the lump.3. In this case very much recommended to get examined for better evaluation.4. An ultrasound examination - will give the nature of the lump, its extensions, vascularity and source. 5. It could not be anything serous - but you may need to get a small incision and a course of antibiotics post procedure. Good luck. Hope I have answered your query,anything to ask ? Do not hesitate to ask.http://doctor.ChatDoctor .com/doctors/ Chat Doctor.

Hello doctor,I have a small hole in the middle of my tooth and the top of my tooth. I do not have any other symptoms. The only medication I am taking is a multivitamin. What should I do?
|
Hello. As per the explanation, it looks like a tooth decay but does not look deep. So my suggestion is to consult a dentist and get evaluated and if the decay is superficial then filling of the tooth with a tooth-colored filling material will prevent further decaying. Investigation to be done are to take a tooth X-ray for confirmation of the severity of decay. Probable diagnosis is dental caries. Preventive measures include brushing your teeth twice a day, use antiseptic mouthwash gargle and a get a dental checkup done every six months. Follow up with the X-ray results. For more information consult a dentist online Take care.

hi, i am on the implanon birth control and have been smoking weed for about three months now. i havent had my period in over two yrs but about two weeks ago i had a light pink discharge when i wiped. after that day i have been feeling sick n have nausea . could the weed be taking off the effect of my birthcontrol? could i be pregnant? i also been having alot of headaches
|
Hello there. Implant is a hormonal device. Side effects of implant use include lighter, irregular and infrequent bleeding. Sometimes there are no periods at all which is not accountable to pregnancy if the device was used in the right way. So your pink discharge can be due to the side effect of implant. Nausea, headache, sore breasts and weight gain are also seen with implant use. Smoking does not affect the contraceptive efficacy of implant, but it does predispose you to serious side effects associated with implant like stroke and blood clots. So it is better if you stop smoking with implant in situ. You can test for pregnancy just to be sure. Secondly I want you to visit your gynecologist for an internal examination to rule out other causes of unexpected vaginal bleeding (pink discharge). A Pap smear is also mandatory if you have not done in the past one year. TAKE CARE.

Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Read your query. Yes, the ulcers can be due to vitamin deficiency or can also be due to stress. These are conditions which is to be treated when they appear. To avoid it recurring you can take few precautions:* Take the multivitamins as prescribed by the doctor.* Advise her to take all nutritious food including egg(boiled)and vegetables and fruits.* Lead a stress-free life.* For the ulcer you can apply denote/mucosal two to three times a day.

Hi, Aproximately 14 months ago i injured myself at work, im a motor mechanic. The injury happened while i was leaning and resting my body over the front of the car, the front part of the car i was leaning/resting on was against my lower abdomen. I was really straining to undo something using my hands and kept going till i felt something like a little balloon getting blown up in my lower abdomen around the groin area. I have been in and out of hospital and seen general surgeons, orthapedic surgeons, nerve and mascular specialists and also physio therapist, theyve found a hernia but said that its small. 2 months ago as it has been going on till now but not as bad, the pain was unbareable, the put in a scope and found that i had alot of adhesions, so they cleared all that up. Now im waiting for a hernia surgery but the pain is extremely sharp and this travels all the way to my left testicle and also makes the vain in the shaft of the penis, the pain gets that bad that those areas can not be touched and takes about 3-4 days to start to become bareable, when the pain is there im unable to put too much pressure on my left leg, walking short distances, sitting on flat and hard seats, sitting in car seats all aggrevate this and make the pain unbareable. The doctors and specialists are unable to find what the cause of all this is. Im desperate. I need to work this out and get my health back, i want the pain ive been suffering for 14months gone, i want to get back to work and support my family, i want my life back. Please help.

Hi! Good afternoon. I am Chat Doctor answering your query. Discomfort in the testis could be due to ignored repeated trivial trauma (specially in your case due to your job profile), which causes inflammation causing pain/discomfort in the same. Testis being an intra-abdominal organ embryo-logically, brings the nerve supply to it from above, and so the pain in the testis is frequently radiated/felt as a discomfort in the abdomen/pelvis area. If I were your doctor, after a thorough physical examination I would advise you for the following:1) Support your testes with properly fitting undergarments.2) Avoid standing for prolonged period, and avoid lifting heavy weight if you do.3) Advise you for a routine blood tests like a CBC, AEC, Bag, HIV test and a urine routine/microscopic examination followed by a culture and sensitivity report if need be.4) Avoid indulgence in any sexual activity if you are active sexually which would prevent further trivial trauma if any to the testes, apart from precipitating any kind of infection if present.5) Prescribe a broad spectrum antibiotic along with an anti-inflammatory Chat Doctor. The antibiotic could change after the report of the culture sensitivity test of urine. Hernia is a separate entity and has to be dealt with separately by your surgeon. However, a ureteric stone has to be ruled out with the help of an abdominal scan which also gives rise to abdominal pain radiating to the penis and testis on that particular side. 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. Thanks for choosing Chat Doctor to clear doubts on your health problems. I wish you an early recovery. Chat Doctor.

hello my father has oral cancer and its of 4 stage he has recieved 3 chemotherapy sittings 2 operations and 1 month radiation treatment .he has also recieved target treatment and now he is undergoing ozone therapy but still has 5 tumors on his face age43 help him
|
Your father has received almost all possible treatment modalities available. At the moment only palliative treatment looks possible. If the tumors on his face are respectable then surgery should be done. Otherwise, palliative chemotherapy should be given. For details regarding the chemotherapy options previous chemotherapy given, current performance status of patient, age of patient and baseline lab investigations would be required. Please discuss it with the treating oncologist and if you have any further query I would be more than happy to answer.

Hi, This indicates acute gastroenteritis, which may occur following ingestion of unpasteurized milk. If there is no fever, and the stool does not contain blood or much mucus, we need not worry. Just give her frequent sips of fluids like ORS solution to prevent deny Chat Doctor. Giving zinc supplementation is also good (20Β mg once daily for 2 weeks). If loose stools are not getting down in 5-7 days, she becomes febrile or lethargic, or stool becomes blood stained, kindly take her to pediatrician as this may need antibiotic treatment too. Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

i had tonsillitis with some bronchitis almost 4 to 5 weeks ago and i still get a cough every now an them from laughing or running but i dont smoke but in the past i been around smokers also i took antibiotics and i am pretty sure i dont have asthma considering this never happened to me before.
|
Hello, thank you for posting your query in Chat Doctor. Passive smoking has harmful effects same as the smoking that cause health hazards. Tobacco smoke contains 200 to 4000 toxic chemicals including nicotine, carbon monoxide, formaldehyde which cause heart diseases, lung diseases like bronchitis, asthma, middle ear infections, tonsillitis and symptoms like cough, sore throat, nose irritation. If I were your treating doctor I would like to get these tests done.1. Blood tests to rule out infections2. Chest x ray3. ECG to rule out cardiac causes. I would come up with following possibilities like asthma, bronchitis, I would suggest you to consult a pulmonologist for further evaluation. Wish you good health.
