ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | hi, i have two fingers on my left hand my ring and pinky my pinky is worse they are cold n tip of my pinky is on the purplish side. i didnt do any thing to them that i know but feel like i froze them in the snow kinda like that and also hurt when i put them under hot running water | Hello, I have studied your case and I think that you might be having either a frost bite or a Reynolds phenomena. In both condition exposure to cold causes' lushness of fingers and difficulty in movements. I would recommend you to show it to orthopedic surgeon for confirmation. Treatment is gradual warm fomentation of the finger. Antispasmodic medication is also helpful in Reynolds phenomena. I hope this answer will be useful for you. Let me know if there is any other followup questions. Thanks |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | I have a really bad middle back pain that hurts when I move. And very sharp pains when I take deep breaths. I m able to walk but very slowly as the pain is sharp and hurts a lot. I ve also had a head ache since thurs and since then too I ve also not been able to hold food down. If I eat a meal it feels stuck on my chest and I cough and vomit it up. I was told last year that I had copd and just wondering of any of this is related. I ve been in bed since thurs. Attempted to work today but couldn t stand it. I m also freezing and shivering but my partner says my skin is burning Should I go to hospital | you must visit hospital as pain in the middle, vomit and other problems need attention of doctors with few X-rays of chest and back. An upper gastro-endoscopy for food pipe and stomach and upper bowels may be required, chest x-ray for COPD issues, and spine X-ray?MRI for disc related lesions. You will be given anti-emetic to control omitting, antacids/PPI inhibitors or acidity controllers and some pain medicines. Complete assessment is the necessity as of now. Endoscopy rules out food pipe lesions, stomach lining issues, ulcers etc Best wishes, |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | Hi I am Manasa from India, I am 29 years old, I had my laproscopy on 7th Dec 2012 for the endometric cysts . and from Jan I was on Lupron depot one on 7th Jan then 26th Jan and 16th Feb,today is 19th March I have not got my menses yet I have done a pregnency check which is Negetive, Can you please help me how to get the priods back and i want be concive as soon as possible. | Cellophane you for your query. Firstly, understand that Lu pron depot has the common side effect of scanty or delayed periods or no periods at all also. So your amenorrhea is due to Lu pron. Please don't worry as you will resume your natural periods once the effect of Lu pron wears off. Regarding your conception, it depends on lots of factors. The grade and severity of your endometriosis. Patency of your tubes. Your ovarian reserve and semen analysis of your partner. If your endometriosis was severe enough to warrant Lu pron shots, please go in for GUI or IVF after consulting an infertility specialist at the earliest, before the endometriosis recur. Take care |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | Hi I have had a hard bony lump on side of leg just below knee area of left leg, the lump is not painful but i do get a cold like cramp pain feeling in the lower part of my leg. I had a CT Scan a couple of days ago, while there i was sent for xrays to confirm what the scan was showing, but i was not told what the outcome of this was, they told me a report would be sent to my doctor. I know its nothing serious but am curious of what it could be. thanks | Hi, Dear,Welcome to Chat Doctor. Based on the facts of your query, You seem to suffer from-hard bony lump on the sides of the leg below knee of left leg. Cramps in the lower leg and X-ray study after the CT scan study, indicates something money osteophyte of the knee joint, causing the issues with the lump below knee. This lump could be MB Cyst or could be Osteolcastoma of upper end Tibia / or could be osteophyte of the knee joint. Arthroscopic removal of the MB Cyst or Osteotomy of the tibia with Bone graft would resolve the lump besides the knee. CT and USG would fix the diagnostic ambiguity and doubts.Hope this reply would help you to plan further treatment with your doctors. Contact with a Followup Premium question to ME. Will appreciate your Hitting thanks and writing excellent review comments to help needy patients like you. Good Day!! Chat Doctor. S. Genl-CVTS |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | My wife has gone through MRI of Lower portion because Doctor said She suffers from Cervicle/Lumber Spondlitis . In this scan Doctor observed that there are lesions in her bones . What are the implications ?? Is it possible that She can have Cancer . Now they have asked her to go though Bone Scan . Please explain !! | Hello, Usually, with the MRI scan, we can analyze the soft tissue of the body, but the bone scan is for assessing the construction of the bones if they are strong enough with proper deposits. As there is no mention the clinical symptoms it will become wrong on our part to comment over the orthopedist decision. The bone scan is only referred to post-MRI if the Orthopedist finds clinical complaints different from what actually it is shown in the MRI. Also, spondylitis is a common thing we find sometimes in every 3 Rd individual. In my practice of 12 years, I have seen almost a bunch of cases for spondylitis and most of them have responded well to medication and Physical therapy. Also, cancer cannot be detected in the bone scan. Bone scan only reveal the composition of the bones. For cancer, if suspected there might be advised to take blood reports or a biopsy. Please follow the Orthopedist guidelines for now without any worry. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Jay In Chat Doctor. |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | my 19-month old son has an ear infection and was prescribed amoxicillan. This is the 3rd time that hes had this medication. suddenly on the 7th day of taking this drug (the 3rd time) he broke out in hives and his face swelled up. could he have just recently developed an allergic reaction eventhough this isnt the first time taking this medicine?? he also had chills tonight. | Hi. Welcome to Chat Doctor . I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns. As per your complaint it seems that your son had an allergic reaction to the antibiotic given to you leading to rashes and swelling. It is one of the common presentation of allergy to antibiotic that leads to rashes and swelling. Many a time there is a delayed allergic reaction as the antibodies against a specific allergen are gradually formed in the body and once they are sufficient in concentration they try to fight against the allergen leading to the symptoms. You should also immediately give him the antibiotics and consult your treating physician and get evaluated, and he can give him anti allergic like Ben Chat Doctor. . Doing cool compresses and applying Calamine lotion can also help. Give plenty of water to wean off the effect of the allergen faster by increasing the excretion through urine. Hope this information helps. Thanks and regards. |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | I have had recent back surgery! 7 weeks ago to b exact! Two levels of lumbar discectomy! One at the L5-S1 area and the other at the L2- L3 area ! I was having a lot of problems on my right hip and thigh and numbness. Well after surgery it has transferred down to the left side and is excruciating pain at times! Tender to the touch but deep pain! I can t even walk the same ! Cant sleep on my left hip! Definitely Worse at night! My doctor is telling me that it is bursitis and gave me a cortisone shot a week ago! The pain is the same, numbness still there and still having problems with walking! these problem like this are starting to really concern me! Could it be from the surgery and he isn t diagnosiing it correct? Just worried! Thanks | Hello, The fact that pain on the right side has improved after surgery confirms that initial diagnosis was correct. The new problem that you are having maybe either complication of surgery - for e.g. infection at the surgical site causing involvement of left side nerves. Other possibility is that prolonged positioning during surgery can cause problems like bursitis. In your case repeat imaging of the surgical site may give a clue to the cause. Good luck. |

It can be apical periodontitis and/or apical periodontitis with abfraction. Please share a good picture just focusing on lower teeth.

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | I was diagnosed with tendonitis on my right elbow. My Ortho doctor told me that i have a tear as seen on MRI, my X-Ray is normal. He recommended a debridement injection surgery. Do I really need to have this kind of surgery and what is the risk of having this? I did a research and this kind of surgery are mostly people having problems w/ their knees not elbow. Please advise. Thank you. | Hi, thank you for providing the brief history of you. A thorough musculoskeletal assessment is advised. Based on your history, X-ray was normal and MRI was showing tear of the tendon. Well, X-ray cannot show soft tissues, and it is taken only for bony deformity, so in any case x-ray will be normal. Also, if MRI shows the tear of the tendon, than what is the grade of the tear? As based on the grade of the injury, the conservative or surgical treatment is planned. If there is complete tear than surgery is advised but if it is partial or fibers of tendon tears, then conservative treatment is planned. Usually in my clinical practice, I have seen patients recovering in the conservative treatment and never need surgery. Also, you can try performing physical therapy as it will help you reduce the inflammation by using therapeutic ultrasound therapy and for pain relief, TENS therapy. Later stages, exercises will be performed and taught as well, to regain the Elbow complete ROM and Strength in the muscles to avoid direct strain on the tendon. Which means, your case will be treated on a special note like a sports injury case to regain the maximum output of the upper limb functions without straining or damaging further the tendon. My clinical practice has only advised for conservative therapy than surgical one. RegardsJay In Chat Doctor. |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | I am going in for a colonoscopy and upper scope on April 15th and the Dr. called and said my potassium level is low and I am to eat foods high in potassium for 2 days and they will do another blood test to see if it is normal before she goes ahead with the procedure. I have been taking potassium pills for over 2 years because it has been low before. I have night sweats quite often, could this be the cause of the loss of potassium. I am a 74 year old female with many medical problems. Thank you | Sweats do not cause a Chat Doctor. Low potassium could be due to leakage of potassium from the urine. You need to check a trans tubular potassium gradient in urine. Also check your serum aldosterone as high levels could cause potassium to leak in urine. Check your magnesium and calcium levels with vitamin D. unless you treat the vitamin D deficiency, in this case with the active vitamin D(caltrop), the low magnesium and low potassium will be resistant to treatment. There are conditions like renal tubular acidosis which also cause low potassium. |

Welcome to Chat Doctor, and thank you for your question! I understand your concern, and would explain that your symptoms coupled with your past medical history are very concerning for a possible coronary artery disease. I recommend going to the ER for a careful physical examination, a resting ECG, a chest x-ray and some lab tests : fasting glucose, complete blood count, kidney and liver function tests, blood electrolytes and cardiac enzymes to exclude possible acute coronary disease. Further, tests (like a coronary angiography, etc.) may be needed if suspicions are raised. Hope to have been helpful! Best wishes, |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | Hello doctor,I have PCOS and had unprotected sex the day before my period, and my partner ejaculated in me. The next day I was supposed to get my period, but I did not get it. Since then I have had minor pregnancy signs. Last week I took two home test, and both were negative. Now, two weeks and a few days later I noticed brownish pinkish discharge and now I am bleeding lightly. Is this implantation bleeding? | Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor forum. PCOS causes irregular cycles. Hence you have had a gap between the periods. Scanty menses with the minimum flow is common in PCOS. Since the urine pregnancy test is negative, there is no chance of pregnancy. You could be having the discharge due to a new cycle. However, consult a gynecologist personally and get an examination done. You may need oral pills for three months or progesterone for with ChatDoctor. Thank you. |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | i had pus generating from my foreskin after sexual intercourse with my girlfriend. Urinating seems fine, no pain etc. The pain developed during sexual intercourse. The pus started coming out on the next day. Is it due to infection? As of now the foreskin is reddish. | Hi, You might have developed an infection after sexual intercourse. The foreskin is very thin and sensitive. During sex there might have been friction and rough sex leading to small cuts and abrasions in the foreskin. Following this if you have not washed the area and taken care of hygiene then there is every possibility of development of an infection with pus formation. As pus is there, the infection might be severe, and you must consult your doctor and take oral antibiotics. Please keep your genital clean and use condoms with a lot of lubrication the next time you are having sex with your girlfriend. Also get her tested if she has any genital infections. |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | I have a reoccurring blister that appears behind my last molar in my mouth. It fills with fluid and pops. It reoccurs about every 3 to 4 weeks since I had a root canal on the molar two years ago. I also have a sore throat , sore neck and jaw pain. Please help find an answer for me. My dentist had no idea what is going on. | Hello, It seems that the root canal treatment you have had about two years ago is left incomplete by the dentist, or you have got recurrent infection in that. If your dentist had taken an x-ray of the area, diagnosis could be confirmed. The molar teeth of lower jaw usually have two roots and three canals. Even if half or one canal is left untreated, the bacterial load increases in that area and re-current infection may occur. Due to the infection, the area fills with pus. The pus gets no outlet to Chat Doctor. Jaw pain is due to this infection only. Now, to treat this infection, you should visit a root canal specialist (Endodontist) and go for re-root canal treatment. In case, the tooth will have poor prognosis after treatment, the Endodontist will advise you to go for extraction of the specific molar and replacement of the tooth by artificial means. However, the sore throat and sore neck are not related to tooth infection. You might have tonsillitis which is just a co-incidence. You can take Azithromycin (AEE) 500 mg once a day for 3 days and the infection of throat will resolve. Do warm salt water gargles for faster relief. I hope this information helps.

A thorough neuromuscular assessment of you is advised. As the pain is in the shoulder and neck you can aspect this due to the position. As it is postural pain you should be fine in a day or two.

It can be normal sinus tachycardia due to anxiety or stress, or it could be abnormal supra ventricular tachycardia. For the diagnosis, you need to do ECG at the time of palpitation & tachycardia. If the duration of palpitations are short enough to reach a nearby hospital, we put a 24hr ECG monitoring (Holder Monitor).

Creatinine levels must be evaluated in detail and treated at the earliest to avoid complications and potential danger to kidney functions. If your creatinine levels are higher than normal, it may suggest that your kidneys are not filtering the blood as effectively as they should. However, over time, glomerular function rate (kidney filtration rate) can fluctuate, so one abnormal test result does not automatically mean that you have chronic kidney disease. A diagnosis of chronic kidney disease is usually only confirmed if repeated glomerular function rate tests show that your glomerular function rate is consistently lower than normal over the space of three months. |

Your pediatrician was right in staring steroid and inhaler. 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. Paracetamol can be given in the dose of 15Β mg/kg/dose (Maximum ceiling dose 500Β mg per dose) every 4-6th hourly that too only if fever is more than 100F. I suggest not using combination medicines for fever, especially with Paracetamol. Regards - |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | I donated a left liver lobe 5 years ago (plus gallbladder removal to better visualize and remove the liver). Initially LFTs were elevated but returned to normal. Now my LFTs are normal but my bilirubin level is mildly elevated...what is the significance of this? | Welcome to Chat Doctor. Thank you for posting your query. I can understand your concern. Elevated bilirubin level without raised Liver enzymes could be due to pancreatitis obstructing the bile duct, or it could be stones in the bile duct which have originated on their own or fatty liver. It is difficult to make a pinpoint diagnosis without actually examining you. I would suggest you to - Take a soft, bland diet for a week.- Get an ultrasound of the abdomen done-Get your amylase and lipase levels revisit a gastroenterologist. He/she can examine you and correlate clinically. Hope this helps. Write back to us. Regards. |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | I am a generally healthy 66 year old male without any major sicknesses.I feel hunger in a generally healthy and normal way, but most times food tastes bland or downright tasteless.Is this a sickness?By the way, I am retired for the past 10 years and miss the active usefulness of a productive life, although I keep myself busy with subsidiary activities.I do miss the dynamic administrative work I indulged in for a major part of my adult life.My wife is diagnosed with borderline personality disorder which could be stressful to me at times.Could you please give me some feedback? | Hello, Welcome to the forum. I can understand your concern for the symptoms from which you are suffering. It is good to learn that you are aware of your condition and interested to get well. You are unable to detect the taste of food since a few days, this is a medical condition called Alessia. It can be due to some problem in your olfactory organ. Most of the time people suffering from Alessia have associated smell problems. If you are unable to smell your food properly automatically the food will taste bland. You need to be examined by an Otolaryngologies or ENT specialist and get a general clinical examination done to diagnose your problem if any. Maintain a good oral hygiene. Use an antiseptic mouth wash after and before each meal. Change your brush buy a new brush with soft bristles, do not forget to floss your teeth. Get your dental problems treated if any. Be cautious if food tastes bland you will slowly start losing health. Change your lifestyle. Eat what you like. Make food colorful, presentation should be good. Use spices, visit restaurants for a change, visit supermarkets to chose your own food, you can consult a doctor and take some enzymes to trigger your taste and appetite. You should also eat papayas they will help your liver function well and trigger your taste buds. Sugarcane juice is equally good. You should have a few blood tests done to rule out any diseased state of your liver. Liver is the main organ of your body. Take fiber rich food, keep bowels clean. Stay well HY Chat Doctor. |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | Dear DoctorI did a ultrasound scanning yesterday & result on my liver was : "A small echogenic lesion in left lobe of liver. Non-specific appearance and may represent a focal fatty liver, haemangioma or tumuor." I has breast cancer 8 years ago and my left breast was removed. My ultrasound scanning on the left chestwall and armpit are all fine. Does the above remark means I have metastatic cancer? | HelloWelcome to Chat Doctor From your report it is difficult to say whether that small lesion in your liver is cancer or not. Since you had breast cancer in the past, the chances of that being cancer is more than in other people. Only definitive way to make diagnosis is fine needle aspiration biopsy. If the lesion is big enough and accessible you can undergo this procedure. Another option is to do serial examination of lesion in routine interval and assess. Unfortunately except needle biopsy there are no other tests which can tell you whether that is cancer or not. Regards |

But I have pain in the legs starting from Thighs to toes. I do regular jogging and every sunday climb a toughest track of nearby hill. I was a sports person. can you suggest - the cause and treatment | Hello, It looks from your details that you may be suffering from radiating pain in your lower limb. This type of pain may be most probably due to stretch or compression of sciatic nerve at your hip or at back. I will suggest you following - 1. Avoid climbing to hill for few days.2. Do rest. Keep a pillow under your legs whenever you do the rest.3. Check your posture.4. Avoid any type of forward bending activity. You may wear a lumbosacral corset for few days.

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | My mom is at the point with her COPD that she has sever lung damage, we just found out she also has a leaky hear valve which she cannot have surgery for due to her lungs........how detrimental is this for her. What are we looking at for life expectancy | Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. COPD is chronic, progressive inflammatory disease of lungs. And in late stages, prognosis is not good. She is also having valvular defect (leak in valves), this makes prognosis even more worse. Life expectancy in this situation is less than 1 year. But with optimal treatment, life expectancy can be increased to 1.5 to 2 years. Optimal treatment includes 1. Long term low dose oxygen therapy for at least 15-16 hours a day. 2. Long acting inhaled bronchodilators and inhaled corticosteroid (ICS). 3. Pulmonary Rehabilitation in the form of deep breathing exercises and Chest physiotherapy. So consult pulmonologist and discuss these optimal treatment options. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your mother. Thanks. |

Since taking it though i have had spotting and cant quite work out if it is spotting or i have come on my period early (started saturday - 5 days earlier than normal) and have been bleeding one day and then not the next. I am like clockwork on microgynon and am annoyed that i have been made to swop. If it is exactly the same drug why has it effected me like this? Thanks! | HiS potting can occur while starting hormonal pills. Progestin may thin the endometrial lining, which can cause some bleeding initially. A thinner lining helps prevent pregnancy as a fertilized egg cannot implant as effectively. Other potential causes of spotting while on the pill include: Forgetting to take a pill for a day or more. You can finish this pack of largest and again switch to back to microgynon. For the first 7 days of switching, use an extra method of contraception. Hope I have answered your query.

Ive been a healthy person with no family history of heart problems. I dont understand why Im going through this.Ive also had strange headaches which feels like Cluster headaches, Drs did a scan and found nothing so they said I didnt need an MRI.Thanks,Need insight | Hi, Irregular heart rate could be abnormal beat from a normal part of heart (VPC - Ventricular Premature Contraction) or could be sinus arrhythmia (irregular heart beat due to breathing, which is a normal phenomenon) or could be serious Atrial Fibrillation. To know the exact diagnosis you need an ECG at the time of this irregular heart beat. If ECG is normal, then we put a 24hr ECG monitoring called Holder Monitor which will tell the diagnosis & than the treatment plan accordingly.

A few days ago start feeling some pain when I press my chest. Im planning to see a doctor soon. If any recommendation. | Hello dear, thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your situation and problem. I advise you to get done chest x-ray to rule out pleurisy (inflammation of pleura). Pleurisy is common after upper respiratory tract infection (URI). And chest pain on pressing can be seen in pleurisy. So better to rule out this by chest x-ray. If chest x-ray is normal then no need to worry much for pleurisy. Avoid pressing chest as this can itself cause pain if force of pressing is more. |

A thorough clinical neuromuscular assessment is advised. As you have a sharp shooting pain and numbness you need to undergo a Neuromuscular assessment along with MRI of lumbar spine as this may be due to pinched nerve. Post which taking a physical therapy like therapeutic ultrasound therapy and TENS therapy will help reduce the pain. Later stages exercises will be implemented to improve the stability of the spine and strengthening of the muscle to improve the quality of life. As your symptoms are classical for suspecting the pinched nerve I will recommend undergoing physical therapy in my clinical experience patients with similar complaints are majorly having pinched nerve and respond well to physical therapy.

Catholics cyst is not an infection, although it can be caused by an infection, inflammation or physical blockage to the Catholics ducts (tubes which lead from the glands to the vulva). If infection sets in, the result is a Catholics abscess. If the infection is severe or repeated a surgical procedure known as marsupialization may be required to stop further recurrences. It is a benign swelling of the gland, however a biopsy of the removed cyst will help in confirmation. Thank you. |

From what you've described, it seems like your baby has furunculosis or a small abscess. It should settle on its own and if it is very painful, causes fever or large, may require an incision to Chat Doctor. I would advise you to wait and match unless he develops spots around his mouth or under his nose, in which case he will need antibiotics. Another thing to keep in mind is that if he gets fur uncles often, he may have a bug called Staph aureus in his nostrils or armpits and will need a decolonization regimen with mupirocin ointment in both nostrils for 7 days, and a chlorhexidine body wash for 10 days.

First, the underlying cause of the anemia needs to be identified and corrected. For example, anemia as a result of blood loss from a stomach ulcer should begin with medications to heal the ulcer. Likewise, surgery is often necessary to remove a colon cancer that is causing chronic blood loss and anemia. Sometimes iron supplements will also be needed to correct iron deficiency. In severe anemia, blood transfusions may be necessary. Vitamin B12 injections will be necessary for patients suffering from pernicious anemia or other causes of B12 deficiency. In certain patients with bone marrow disease (or bone marrow damage from chemotherapy) or patients with kidney failure, poetic alpha (Profit, Spoken) may be used to stimulate bone marrow red blood cell production. If a medication is thought to be the culprit, then it should be discontinued under the direction of the prescribing doctor. Regards Chat Doctor. |

I carefully read your question and I understand your concern. I will try to explain you something and give you my opinion. You should know that when we treat hypertension our goal is to keep mean blood pressure values below 140 / 90 mmHg. A person might have high or lower blood pressure values during physical and emotional stress, so it is mandatory to judge on mean values. If you previously have been diagnosed with hypertension, and you are experiencing lower values the best alternative is to reduce any dosage and not completely stop them. You don't mention the medication names, but in my opinion you should take an appointment with your cardiologist. The previous medication might be reduced in dosage or find the best one adapted for you. Chat Doctor.

You had difficulty in retracting foreskin over glans penis while masturbating, but it was freely retracted when you had intercourse with your girlfriend. This could be mostly due to tight foreskin that was not being retracted while masturbating due to devoid of lubrication However during intercourse female vagina is well lubricated due to vaginal secretion which helps in painless retraction of foreskin over glans penis. The soreness that you have on glans penis can be cured with antibiotics and topical antibiotic ointment Newsprint for 5 days. Do use lubricant jelly like Xylocaine Jelly while having intercourse.

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | Hi - my stepdad has stage 5-6 dementia , CPOD, emphysema, and lung cancer . He recently was undergoing SBRT for the tumor (stage 1) and after three treatments was in the hospital with pneumonia - two weeks later he seems better - a little unsteady on his feet but doctor says he needs 24/7 babysitting or go to nursing home coz mom can t care for him at home with what he needs. we are confused doesn t seem bad enough for 24/7 - he was on level 2 oxygen and went up to 3, now trying him on 1.5 should he go back for the rest of treatments - it isn t seen as a cure | COPD, Empysema of the lung are chronic diseases and super added with pneumonia, in cancer lung after radiation therapy, I think he is in critical period. To overcome these problems, he needs medical supervision, may not be available in the home. He can shift to home, once his condition is stabilized means he requires only oxygen and able to breath normally on oxygen. Going for further cancer treatment is, in my view, not give any positive results. |

Xray done, it is normal.Doctors always diagnose it as esinophilia, get the AEC test done and after using medicine again AEC test done, improvement is there. But cough prolongs intensity reduces.and severe sneezing persists. some say it is Allergic Rhinitis, Others Bronchitis, and some say its latent Tuberculosis. Please advise. This problem is continuing fron childhood. i am 38 years old, 68kgs weight. Do u feel my lungs are weak ?? | Hi Dear, Welcome to Chat Doctor. Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of persistent cough and fever which is due to chronic lung infection or bronchitis. Your poor immunity of body is exaggerating your condition. Need not worry much. I would suggest you to visit pulmonologist once and get it examined. You should go for pulmonary function tests and x-ray chest as well to check exact level of infection. Start treatment only after proper prescription. Chat Doctor. You need inhaled bronchodilators and antihistamine |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | Hi, am 29 years old male. Have following issue after I went appendix surgery in the month of oct 2013. Recently for last 2 weeks experiencing following 1) stools are black. 2) not having feel of complete motion. 3) sometimes pain in testicle and in lower abdomen. Down full abdomen scan. No fault found. Took medicene for testicle pain and abdomen infection but still no go. Pls advise on treatment and medicines. | I am sorry to hear about your pain. First off, having black stools is very worrisome as this commonly is referred to as Elena, or bloody stool (digested blood from your upper Hi tract causes your stool to become black). If this is persistent you need to see your primary care physician immediately for further evaluation. Now I also see you recently had some type of abdominal infection, hopefully you completed your antibiotics for this and have followed up with the prescribing physician. In regard to pain in the lower abdomen and into the testicle following any lower abdominal surgery, the common cause is ilioinguinal or genitofemoral neuralgia (nerve pain). Another possible cause would be an inguinal hernia, which can develop from straining. I would recommend seeing your primary care for a careful physical exam to help differentiate between these two possible causes. I hope you feel better soon. |

SYMPTOMS : Numbness from my hands to the very top of my arms on both sides. Low Blood Pressure yesterday it was 89/71 and today its 100/73. I feel tired all the time. And this morning I feel nauseous. I work for a pharmaceutical company, and my job is not easy, because I have to use my arms. I am tired on the jobs, and its stressful to me while these symptoms have accrued. Please tell me what I should do? | Hall your symptoms like numbness in hands, low blood pressure, tiredness, nausea and you're feeling that job is stressful point towards anxiety. Is it present only for 1 week, and you were perfectly fine before that or the problem has worsened in the last week? If it is present only for the last i week, there could be some issues worrying you for which you should consult somebody you confide in or else professional help from a psychiatrist.

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | Hi I have recently gone under several minor procedures to remove a cyst from the shaft of my penis. Now that I am able to have sex I have noticed that my seminal fluid is very liquidy and a light brown color. Should I be worried or is it most likely possible damage to a vein or something of that nature | Hello dear, Thank you for your contact to Chat Doctor. I read and understand your concern. I am Chat Doctor answering your concern. Nothing to worry dear. The red color is because of the surgery conducted and hemorrhage because of it. This will go of in some days.

Antibiotics as given by doctors should be continued. I will be happy to answer your further concern on bit.ly/ |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | I am a 37 year old female, recently been treated for thyroid cancer. I was diagnosed with Polycistic ovaries under 14 years ago. Is there a link between thyroid cancer and ovarian cancer, therefore should I look at getting my ovaries removed. I have 3 daughters, aged 1, 3 and 4. | Hi, Thanks for writing in. It is important to know if the cancer in ovary is metastasis or a primary. It is possible for cancer in one organ to metastasize to another and ovarian metastasis of thyroid cancer has been seen. In this case the thyroid cancer is said to be the primary with ovarian deposit. Rarely two different primary tumors might also arise in the thyroid and ovary and this can be due to some common shared gene mutation. Since your doctor has suggested surgery involving ovary therefore possibility of primary neoplasm might be considered. If the stage is still early then surgery is the best treatment. You might also get serum tumor markers like CA 125 done and then follow up with repeat testing and imaging to make sure that you are cured. Please do not worry. |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | My sister was just admitted to the hospital last week. She has a fever of 102 that comes and goes. She had a upset stomach and protien in urine and (excues spelling)belirubin in urine. She has thyroid trouble, a sore liver, has been taking something prescribed for artherise and had a shot for shingles but has a out break recently. the infectious des. dr says he doesnt belives dont that she didnt have shngles. They dont know what is wrong, still having fever, sore liver,sore joints , she also has hot spells. she had a hysterectomy and galblader surgery a few years ago. at this time the only meds she is taking is thyroid med and high blood pressure med. | Hello, Thanks for posting on Chat Doctor, The problem is likely coming from the liver or her gallbladder. She might be having hepatitis or liver abscess. She will need evaluation of her liver (LFT) and an abdominal CT to determine the state of the liver and gallbladder. Furthermore, she will need to see a astrologist who can do a complete evaluation and determine the actual cause of her symptoms. Your sister might require admission. If she is having skin lesions, liver soreness, bilirubin in urine, then her problem is clearly of liver origin. Testing SAT, ALAT, BUN, alkaline phosphatase, amylase, lipase, viral hepatitis (B, C etc.) might be what is needed to be done to determine the cause. Hope this helps |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | Hello Doctor, My mother is 55. She has severe rhe arthirits since 20+ years. She just had acute renal failure 2 wreks ago. Also have high blood sugar, potassium level was also high When tested doctor said have ureasepsis so she had dialysis for 3 days. After 3 days of dialysis when blood tested found urea high in blood around 43. So once again got dialysis done. She is still in ICU. Dont know what to do. Doctors said she needs to come twice a week for dialysis. But before and after dialysis she gets so weak that she cant even open her eyes.Please Help Doctor | She is feeling weak after dialysis because they are removing too much fluid from her body during dialysis. Discuss with your doctor to see if removing less fluid or not removing fluid from her body will prevent her from feeling weak. In disease of kidney caused by painkillers used in rheumatoid arthritis, patient tend to pass a lot of urine compared to other patients and hence many a time only dialysis is required and little or no extra fluid needs to be removed during dialysis. If your mom has pain still discuss with your doctor if she will benefit from steroid and leflunomide. The chance of your mom recovering is high if the creatinine increase is recent. However, for predicting chances of improvement more information is required. Discuss with your doctor if she will need a renal biopsy in the near future. It can predict recovery better than other tests. However, if the kidneys are severely damaged and small biopsy is dangerous and treatment has to done without kidney biopsy. Wishing fast recovery for your mom. Hope the information helps. |
