My 6 month old baby haven t make a stool for 60 hours. This is very unussual as he makes one every day. We have started with solids two weeks ago - riceflakes with HA formule and appelsauce. Baby seems also more upsett and does not sleep well. Shall I stop with solids for now? Or can you maybe suggest some better food to feed the baby with? How can I solf quickly his constipation? Shall I try appeljuice? Thank you.
|
Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor. Its very normal to experience change in babies bowel habits after weaning the baby to solid food. In infants absent bowel movements is normal for as long as 14 days provided that their abdomen is soft, and they are otherwise well. As your baby is restless, Glycerine suppoisatray can be given via anus to make the bowels empty. After that I would suggest following to make his bowel habits healthy> Give him prune juice.>Add more fluids.>Don't stop the solids completely but make them softer. Hope this answer is helpful. Good luck

hello doctor.. m very depressed and feel lonely and rejected... not professionally but in personal life... m single n never been into any relation so my prob is all related to family and friend... i feel like crying the whole day.. but i do at night or sometimes in the evening too... is so much of crying not good for health?
|
Hello The symptoms like feeling lonely, depressed mood, feeling of being rejected, crying spells etc. are features of some Depressive Disorder. In depression low mood, crying spells, rejection sensitivity, inability to make close relationships are seen. I would advise you to please visit a good Psychiatrist for expert opinion. The symptoms can be treated by medicines as well as by Psychotherapies. Medicines like SSRI, SARI are mainly used in depressive disorders. Cognitive therapy is also a good option in cases of depression. So please visit a good Psychiatrist and take expert opinion. Thanks

Hi, my boyfriend has suddenly lost alot of weight 12-15pounds within this month, he is already small in nature, usually weighs in between 150-155lbs when healthy. His symptoms are lack of appetite, little jaundice in the white of his eyes, back pain and sometimes pain cramping near the liver, frequent night sweats, pale skin, feeling tired at times, low/no libido. He has seen a liver specialist to rule out any major diagnosis. Doctors have mentioned GS but he isnt fully diagnosed because of uncertainty. This is the third episode he has had within 2 years, and for each time, its after a certain period of time working nights that he gets all of these symptoms. Could there be a correlation with gs and working nights?

Hello, Thanks for the query to Chat Doctor. Forum. Loss of weight, loss of appetite, back pain, cramps at liver site, night sweating, pale skin, fatigue, no libido, Still no diagnosis ? May be infection in liver, may be cirrhosis of liver, may be some secondaries in liver, may be anemia.

Hope you will understand the seriousness of condition and at once contact physician. Good luck for your boyfriend.

I have been broken out in a rash from my feet to my chest and back and all what is in between since jan 6th 2014. I had surgery on my knee and began breaking out in the recovery room and it has steadily gotten worse. My internist did a biopsy for lymphoma , whicChatDoctore back negative. She sent me to an allergist which could do no skin tests because there was not any area on my back that wasn t broken out. So they sent me to the hospital lab where 19 vials of blood were drawn and sent to the Mayo Clinic for testing. Results have not yet been received. I am absolutely miserable, retaining fluid like crazy, am itching 24 hours a day, am not sleeping. I am just a MESS. I do have a history of ASLE (lupus), but the Drs. All say this is NOT related.
|
Hi, Your rash could be due to a purpura or cold induced rash. There are the common rashes that are associated with ABLE. But, your rash could be an ABLE non-specific rash also. I request to visit your dermatologist for identifying the rash which could be made only after proper clinical examination and to provide medical treatment for the rash. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Chat Doctor.

Hi!! I am 24 male...I completed by rabies vaccination(5 doses of rabipur) on dec 20 2010 after getting bitten by street dog without.But today I ate roadside food.Do I have the chance of getting rabies becoz maybe the plates were licked by street dogs an maybe on those plates food was served to me.And how long will I remain immune after taking the above dose
|
Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor, As you have taken post exposure prophylaxis with five doses of anti rabies vaccine for the previous bite. As you are more concern of eating the food from a plate which could be licked by the dog. As you have taken active immunization, all ready your body will be primed to produce antibody against the rabies virus, which will destroy this virus. You can take booster dose of anti rabies vaccine once in five years. Thank you.

Hi A friend of mine noticed a lump on his chest. Doesnt hurt but is quite noticeable as it protrudes. He noticed it about 3 weeks ago. Any idea what it could be? At the moment, his doctor advised him to have an xray then come back after a month. Please advise. Thank you very much.
|
Hi. Thanks for your query. Lump on the chest of the male patient with 3 weeks of history should be seen by a General Surgeon. Clinical examination and ultrasonography with FNAC should give us a final diagnosis and a decision whether to remove it or not. As a thumb-rule, it is better to get rid of any swelling which is not a part of the body for 2 reasons:1. You get rid of the mass by removing it2. You get a confirmed diagnosis by Histo-patho examination. If something serious the early diagnosis helps.

Looking to get a 2nd opinion on knee pain. Had an MRI done in Sept. Showed damaged muniscus and cartilage. Did 8 sessions of physical therapy. Helped by strengthening my leg due to walking with a bad limp. Continued to have pain so had cortisone shot in November. Now back to pain constantly
|
In its early stages, arthritis of the knee is treated with nonsurgical methods. Some of the more common options include changes in activity level, pain relievers such as acetaminophen or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory Chat Doctor. another treatment option is a procedure called viscosupplementation. In this procedure, a gel-like fluid called hyaluronic acid is injected into the knee joint. Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance found in the synovial (joint) fluid. It acts as a lubricant to enable bones to move smoothly over each other and as a shock absorber for joint loads. People with osteoarthritis ("wear-and-tear" arthritis) have a lower-than-normal concentration of hyaluronic acid in their joints. Viscosupplementation may be a therapeutic option for individuals with osteoarthritis as probably your case seems to be. There is a course of these injections for longer term reliefYour doctor may consider it if it agrees

Two days ago I broke/fractured my baby toe on my left foot. It is now slightly swollen and black and blue. I ve been icing it every hour for 15 minutes and elevating it. This morning I woke up to blood in my stool and blood on the toilet paper. Are these two things related? What should I do?
|
Hi and welcome to Chat Doctor. These 2 things are not related, and you should evaluate each of the separately. Toe pain can be associated with fracture so X-ray is required. Blood in stool can be caused by various cases but most commonly these are hemorrhoids, figures or polyps and less common something more serious but in very case you should see proctologist for further treatment. Thanks for the query. Regards

Hello doctor,I am a 21-year-old male and I have a partner of 19 years. We go along well. But my problem is that I overreact a lot on her actions. Like if she does not text me, my mood gets changed and I will be angry. But, I want to change myself. I want to change my attitude. I want to be more friendly. Please help.
|
Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor forum. The first important thing in a relationship is that do not force her for anything and accept her however she is. Do not try to change her. Give her personal space. If you overreact then you may lose the love and respect for you. Spend some quality time with her and try to know her likes and dislikes. Take care of her. Be a man. Do not make her cry and do not get possessive for anything. Trust her. Let her know that you are waiting for her response. For more information consult a psychiatrist online

HI, Dear,Thanks for the inquisitive query to Chat Doctor.1-I studied your query in depth.2-In my opinion, this lump above your breast and inter middle of the chest, is most probably-recurring chronic abscess, or it could be a cold abscess in the sternal lymph node.3-I would advise you to take antibiotics with NSAIDs for 5 days time.3-a-If it resolves its well and good.3-b-but if doesn't resolve-which is major possibility, then you would need Surgeons consultation, who would investigate and treat it as need be.4-Hope this would solve your query .5-Wellcome for more queries to me On Chat Doctor.6-Thnks once again for your inquisitive query.

i think i could be pregnant i have changed from the injection to the pill and i got told that i could get pregnant in that week , the next day me and partner had sex and the condom split, i have had signs of pregnancy like sore nipples even around my nipple have darkened , they have also fatened out they havent gone up a size but they have become move wider and heaviler, i came off my pill after 21 days for my break , i came on 6 /7 days after i had stopped takinging it which is not normal for me its usually about 2 days after. i came on with really bad cramps and slighty heavy bleeding, i still had pregnancy signs. i came off after 4 days which is unusual my cycle usually lasts 7 days are 8, my signs have got worse and i find myself having to sit down and for water and fresh air as i have been going really dizzy and going really sick and it does on and off through the days . i also keep getting strong headakes which i rearly get, i have taken for test 2 before the period and 2 after and all negative , im getting more bloated and going for my tollet breaks depending on the day, i dunno if its in my head are what but i have worked out id be 7-8 weeks pregnant if i am help ??

Hallow Dear, Even 2 months after the missed period if your pregnancy tests are negative, I would have otherwise written off the case as no pregnancy. Soreness of the breasts can happen due to many other causes which includes rough handling also. All other symptoms like headache, bloating, fatigue are not pertinent to pregnancy. However, darkening of the nipples and areola with areolar widening makes me consider that you may be pregnant. You have two alternatives for diagnosing the condition:1. Go for Beta Chat Doctor test. This is very specific and sensitive test which gives reliable results even few days before missed period. 2. Get ultrasonography done. By this time, it will give direct visual evidence of pregnancy. Moreover, if you are not pregnant, it will help to look for any evidence of Polycystic Ovaries (PCs). PCs is known to delay menstrual cycle for considerable time. When the periods start, they are usually very heavy. If you are diagnosed non-pregnant, please undergo investigations for finding out the underlying condition. Blood examination for Prolactin, FSH & LH would be important. Since you are having headache, Prolactin values will be important. If they are raised, they lead to breast secretions. Then X-ray of the head will try to see whether you have got pituitary tumor. Usually this can be treated with Tab. Bromocryptine. Get Thyroid function also assessed. Thyroid dysfunction does alter the regularity of the menses. The symptoms like lethargy, fatigue, etc. may be attributed to low Thyroid functioning. Please have a consideration of your body-mass index. In PCs as well as Hypothyroid condition, BMI is raised. Try to maintain it between, 18.5 to 24.9. I would request you not to depend only on urine pregnancy test and undergo more investigations. Please report to you Gynecologist.

Can I assume that the numb fingers are thumb, index and (thumb side) half of ring? If so it is likely that she has "carpal tunnel syn Chat Doctor. It is not unconventional to treat this with a brace, especially if there are reasons to avoid surgery. An additional possible treatment is to inject the structures under the "deep transverse carpal ligament" (which is the constricting structure) with cortisone. If all else fails dividing that structure surgically is a common treatment. This can be done as a "day case" under regional (not general) anesthesia. Although the surgical wound should be kept

Hi, Hypothyroidism can lead to excessive perceived stress or anxiety and difficulty in pregnancy. Thyroid Hormone preparations are safe and can be taken under physician supervision. They do not have side effects if taken in optimum doses. If stress problem is prolonged or severe (even after correction of thyroid imbalance) and leading to frequent interpersonal problems, then for assessment and treatment, you can visit specialist like psychiatrist or psychologist. I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you. Wish you Good Health.

Hi, Thanks for posting your query. I presume you are trying to say, your USG showed sludge in the gallbladder. Sludge is a sediment of bile that contains crystals of calcium and cholesterol. This most often remain asymptomatic. But sometimes it can become symptomatic due to complications like pancreatitis. In such cases gallbladder is removed to prevent recurrence and more complications. I hope that answers your question. Regards.

Thank you for your contact to Chat Doctor. I read and understand your concern. I am Chat Doctor. D Mangukiya answering your concern. The horsefly is known under many names in different countries, including deer flies, class, gadflies or breeze flies. This can be dangerous because the horsefly can transmit parasites or diseases amongst its victims. Horsefly bites may take longer time to heal than other insect bites which generally take two to three batsman cultures have developed remedies to assist with the pain of a horsefly bite. Icing the wound will help reduce swelling and dull the pain associated with a bite. You can also apply aloe vera, vinegar, Epsom salt, raw onion, mud, honey, a paste made from baking soda or vinegar to the bite to help reduce swelling and discomfort. Once you have applied a topical agent to provide relief, cover the area with a loose bandage to protect the wound and to help keep the remedy in place. You have already taken Ben

Hellos you have said you have fresh blood in morning toilet, have a known case of disc herniation, following are your probable causes1. Due to having different painkillers for back pain, can cause intestinal ulceration, and hence causing bleeding2. Due to back pain + pain +stress+constipation can lead to hemorrhoids , and hemorrhoids do bleed Hope this helps, and you understand your cause of bleedingTake care

Sometimes she had sticky urine . Although she is under doctor guidance, but still wants to know, fhow sticky fluid coming from tube attached to kidney and what cure can be for that. She will soon have a open surgery to remove stones as all the other methods not worked.Pls help us in this regard. thanks.Dinesh,New Delhi,India

Hi, more details are required. I think your friend had a blocked kidney tube due to stones and so a tube has been put into her kidney from the flank to Chat Doctor. This is done to reverse the kidney swelling and prevent further kidney damage due to blocked kidney tube. It is also done in case the urine in kidney is infected or pus-like (hydronephrosis or infected IN). If tube gets blocked, check that it is not getting twisted or kinked, it is not getting compressed while lying down. If still gets blocked, probably changing to a larger size tube will help. Her urologist will be the best person to help. Good luck.

Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor, The history and symptoms of your mother suggest that she may be having some allergic manifestations and viral infection. As your mother is having these symptoms for more than one week, she should be evaluated thoroughly. I would recommend her to undergo lab investigations like CBC and absolute eosinophil count (AEC). The results of these investigations will help us to make a proper diagnosis and to manage the case. For the present symptoms I would suggest her to follow1. Oral antihistamine2. NSAIDs to control the fever.3. Apply Calamine lotion. Thank you.

HelloThanks for query. Discomfort in left flank radiating down to groin with history of two episodes of fever with rigors can be due to presence of stone in the left kidney and needs to be investigated. Consult qualified Urologist for clinical examination and get following basic tests done to confirm the diagnosis.1) Urine routine and culture. 2) Ultrasound scanning of abdomen and pelvis3) C.

Hi. Thanks for posting query at Chat Doctor. Usually ALT or AST values higher than "two times the upper normal limit", is considered abnormal (in some countries, ALT or AST values of more than 100 are considered abnormal). Value of AST or ALT greater than 85 or above maybe investigated further. Viral hepatitis (HAD, HBV, HCV) are common cause of elevated liver enzymes. Typhoid fever may also affect liver and cause high liver enzymes. Advice :- abstinence from "Alcohol" - LOW fat diet should be followed, AVOID junk food and beverages-decreased oil consumption (oily food)- NO red meat-green vegetables should be ingested daily-use lemon juice (lemonade) once in a day-reduce weight if overweight/obese-"recheck liver enzymes after 6 to 8 weeks" and/or ultrasound. Any further questions are welcomed. Hope to answer your concern. Wish you good health. Regards, Chat Doctor.

Hi. I look after my teeth by brushing twice a day and flossing daily. I even use corsodyl mouth wash. Unfortunately none of these things seem to be helping. I still have gum disease. I have been to the dentist and she says I just must be one of those people who gets lots of plaque but its only been recent months they have got so bad. My teeth had always been healthy. I am trying the best I can to look after them but now when I brush them, they are so swollen and sore. I dont know what else to do. Please help me.
|
Hi. Welcome to Chat Doctor . I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns. As per your complaint swelling and soreness of gums is due to infection in gums leading to Gingivitis and there can be plague or calculus buildup under the gums [sublingual plaque and calculus]. With brushing the deposits over the surface of teeth can get reduced but not under the gums. So my suggestion is to get a thorough sublingual scaling done and along with it learn a proper brushing technique from your dentist. Do warm saline gargles daily and use an antiseptic mouthwash to gargle. You should always brush your teeth before sleeping at night. Eat more of fibrous fruits like carrots and apples and other hard foods. Hope this information helps. Thanks and regards. Chat Doctor.

I m 5 4 and 24 years old..according to my age and height, I just found out I should have a weight of 150lbs and BMI between 20-25, with 18.5 being the lowest (or so I m told). HOWEVER, I weight about 104 pounds (47kg) and have probably seen 117lbs as my MAX weight ever. BMI is 18.13 now. I m down to 1 light meal a day, and have been like that for 6-8 months or so. I do not eat my greens nor meat..have even cut out chicken over the past 4 months. Generally survive on mini snacks, frozen food, or junk food. I went for blood tests in October, and I was told I have iron deficient anemia. I was at level 7 or 9 with my iron stores, should be at 12 minimum. I was given iron pills to take twice daily (Feramax 150) but I ve rarely been taking them (I forget!). I do not take or have ever been on birth control. Lately, I ve been noticing my nail are blue-ish purple and I generally DO NOT get hungry or am not motivated enough to eat at all. My meals have been as big as my snacks used to be in the past. I have been stressed lately and emotional too, dealing with anxiety (usually want to crawl away and hide, or sometimes forget how to breath and have to force myself) and haven t had motivation or inspiration to live..been looking for a reason to live at the moment and find meaning to life...still getting there slowly... This month I did not FEEL like I was getting my period (no feeling, no cramp, nothing). I had unprotective sex when I was 1 day overdue my period. He pulled out, and did not *** inside me. I worried about the sperms in the precum from foreplay. I took the Plan B after 18 hours of sex. I still have had no spotting, nor any cramps at all. It s been 2 full days since the unprotective sex, and 3 days overdue on my period. I usually always get my period on time, with a 26-28 day cycle. I had a 37 day cycle two months ago and last month was 25 day cycle. I ve taken the Plan B once before in September. Could it be that I generally just missed my period? What s the likelihood of getting pregnant when you re a day late on period with iron deficient anemia and possibly being anorexic, and he pulled out? Should I be worried? What should I do?

Hello, Thanks for your query. Without adequate iron, the body is unable to produce normal red blood cells. In young women, iron deficiency anemia can result from heavy menstrual bleeding. Non-menstruating women or men who develop iron deficiency need to have a colon exam to help identify the source of chronic bleeding. With iron deficiency anemia, your doctor will probably recommend iron supplements that contain the ferrous form of iron, which your body can absorb easily. If you use iron supplements, remember the following cautions:Always consult with your doctor before taking iron supplements. Iron supplements -- like all supplements and any medication -- should be kept out of the reach of child Chat Doctor. Taking iron supplements with food can help prevent common side effects, which may include nausea, diarrhea, constipation, and stomach pain. Watch for

Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. She has brachial plexus stroke. It will become normal. But she should maintain her INR between 2 and 3. It is ideal therapeutic range of blood thinner. If it increases further than chances of bleeding is there. Consult your doctor and set the dosage of warfarin accordingly.

Now 3 years on I have got it again but this time not pregnant but had coil fitted 1 year ago and periods are almost gone- think there may be a connection ? Should I have coil removed ? Never had any pain. Thanks kath

Hello, welcome to Chat Doctor, as per the details u have submitted, bleeding form the anus has no relation with birth control coil.as u have already got the problem parotitis and colitis .maybe it has flared up, that why u have above-mentioned symptoms. As it seems, you are not definitely confirmed by a gastroenterologist, that you have either parotitis or colitis, I advise you to first consult a GASTROENTEROLOGIST and get done COLONOSCOPY . The possibilities are 1. INFLAMMATORY BOWEL DISEASE?2. ANAL FISSURE3.NON-SPECIFIC PAROTITIS.

I had my gall bladder removed a couple of years ago. My main symptom was a severe stabbing pain whenever I ate food. Since then that pain in the shoulder disappeared until recently I had a couple of mild pains in my shoulder in that same spots within 30 minutes to an hour. But since it was only twice I thought I was fine. I currently am using ChatDoctor injections for the first time & Im on my 3rd week. For the past 3 days in a row, almost immediately after I eat that severe jabbing pain in my shoulder is occurring. Is this a sign that has to do with previously having gall stones or is this signs of maybe developing pancreatitis? Whats going on?
|
Greetings of the welcome to ChatDoctorShoulder pain is unlikely to be due to pancreatitis. One of the possibility could be post cholecystectomy syn Chat Doctor. I would suggest you to avoid oily and spicy food. Another possible cause of your symptoms could be duodenal ulcer. Management includes long term use of proton pump inhibitor and Helicobacter eradication treatment to prevent recurrence. Wishing you a healthy life. Get back to me if you have any other overtake disregards

I am in stage 4 renal failure and the only symptom I have (had) was high blood pressure. The doctors say my kidneys are working at 20%. My blood pressure has been normal for 6 years now and the kidney s have gotten no worse. Should I drink water as if it s going out of style? Will that help???

Good Day, and thank you for being with Chat Doctor ! The answer to your question would depend on if you have edema or getting edema. If you have edema then you should ask your doctor how much fluid your allowed to consume generally it should be less than 1L/24hours. If edema is not a problem for you then it is safe to consume 1.5-2liters per day. I hope I have succeeded in providing the information you were looking for. Please feel free to write back to me for any further clarifications at: http://www.ChatDoctor .com/doctors/ Chat Doctor. Best wishes.

Hi Doctor, I am getting red rashed on all over my body, initially I was takinh allegera 120 mg, , for 2 days, than I went to doc, he stoped that and gave me wysolent 20mg for days,but I am not seeinng any relief, night time my rashes and itching is severe.
|
Hi, Thanks for writing to us. Itching and rashes could be due to urticaria, eczema or scabies. While eczema and urticaria will respond to oral antiallergics and steroids, scabies would require oral ivermectin and topical permethrin. As you are not having any response with cyclone 20 mg, please revisit your doctor. Your doctor might increase your steroid dose or might add better oral antihistamines. Hope this helped.

I have been experiencing some tightening in my calf muscles for about 5 weeks . Missed taking Lovastatin 40mg for a few days and I felt less tightening. Took a pill an hour before bed and felt slight throbbing in my left foot and tightening returned. BP 140 over 80 / 69 years old - should I seek emergency care?
|
Hi, Lovastatin belongs to Statin group of Chat Doctor. Calf pain is a sign of pyrolysis. Since pain is decrease on stopping Lovastatin, it can be attributed to this cause. Blood testing for CPK level helps in diagnosis of muscle damage. Please get it done from pathology laboratory nearby you. Visit to your treating physician for detailed examination is recommended. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Hi, I got a little scratch from my friends house dog last week. No sign of blood though. After one week my wife saw and asked me, so i told her. She is upset and asking me to consult a Doctor. But i m fine till now. Still...should i go and consult one??
|
Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor, Rabies is 100% fatal, but it is 100% preventable with proper and adequate treatment. As you were scratched by your friends' dog one week back with no bleeding from the site, according to WHO categorization it is categorized into Cat II. If you have not taken the antirabies vaccine, I would suggest you to take five doses of antirabies vaccine on days 0,3,7,14 and 28. In addition to this you have to take shot of In TT. Don't neglect this disease is very fatal. Thank you

My husband had a round rash type area on his neck. No itching. Roundness was red but lighter inside. It has spread down his neck, all over his back and one spot on his leg. On a side note...he is also having blood work and an MRI to diagnose a possibility of gout in his left ankle that started almost a month ago. Not sure if these are connected or not. What could the rash be?

Hi, thanks for writing to us. From the description provided it could be liturgies rose, Tina corporal or psoriasis etc. P rose presents as red round rash with scales at margin of the lesion. Initially a single rash appears and later on multiple rashes appear over trunk along the ribs. It is a self resolving condition. Tinea or ring worm is fungal infection characterized by ring shaped itchy lesions. Treatment is antifungal medicinesPsoriasis - red raised lesions with overlying thick scales. Treatment is steroid cream emollients etc. I would recommend a visit to dermatologist for diagnosis and Treatment. Hope that helped. Take care

I have a hermatoma that isopronstese is not working on it and it is very tender not only at the hermatoma but area by it, it was getting better with PT but now it seems to be going backwards. now very tender and feels like someone has a wire brush to the area and hermatoma is getting harder and feels hot inside and warm to touch???
|
Hi, You have not mentioned the site of the swelling. First be sure that it is a simple hematoma only and not the one related to any malignancy. The haemangioma may also look like hematoma. The cyst, lipoma, neurofibroma may also present like it. Just consult the doctor and have the biopsy/FNAC done to find the cause of such swelling. If not received then the surgical removal is advised in some cases.

Hello, Welcome Thanks for consulting Chat Doctor, You have mentioned that you have undergone extraction of wisdom tooth yesterday you are taking antibiotics and if you are taking any other Analgesic (painkiller) then it is okay don't take Ibuprofen and if you are not taking any Analgesic tablet you can take Ibuprofen, Ibuprofen is also a good analgesic it also reduces pain, do warm saline gargle also 2-3times a day.

My 16 year old son is feeling a strange sensation on the right side of the top of his head....sort of a pulsating feeling....he is very worried that something is wrong...he has no pain, he says it just feels abnormal....I told him he needs to be able to explain it better if he is going to go to the doctor....have you ever heard of this? should I take him to the doctor?
|
Hi, This feeling of pulsation in the head can be due to various reasons. It may simply be due to stress, anxiety or fear or sometimes lack of proper sleep. Even anemia (reduced hemoglobin), prolonged fasting or low blood sugar can cause such symptoms. Sometimes it can be related to other medical conditions like thyroid or heart or arthritis (blood vessels). I feel first let him have a good diet and a good nights sleep. Let him relax a bit esp if he is too much into studies. You can even talk to him about any kind of anxiety or stress he is facing at school or with friends. If still the symptoms persist then do go some investigations like complete blood count, TSH, sugar levels, electrolytes and ECG. Then we can have exact diagnosis. Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

I have bilateral wrist pains that I feel are related to the amount of typing at wk and ultrasound in July showed some fluid around the second extensor tendon left hand which responded well to steroid injection . I used splints at wk however began to get recurrent symptoms . I saw a hand specialist -repeat ultrasound was normal -an MTI scan showed early OA changes in that small cysts were present in the lunate and capitate bones . My wrists ate settling with rest but I am having a battle with wk and may loose job as they are reluctant to agree to voice activation . Have been adv against long term splinting . Am 51 and athetise well -how significant are the bone cysts in the right hand only (tenosynovitis diagnosed left hand ) ?co-incidental finding -are they likely to progress is OA related to excessive typing
|
Hello, About the pain in both wrist joints, see its more often due to repetitive strain injury while typing continuously. Need to assess the strength of small muscles of wrist and forearm which are more commonly used in writing and typing work so as it has been diagnosed as cyst near late bone. So I suggest you go for Physiotherapy treatment and take therapeutic ultrasound therapy and IT therapy for at least 15 days once a day. Simultaneously exercises to increase strength and flexibility will minimize the reoccurrence. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Hem ang S Jane, Physical Therapist or Physiotherapist

In the last month I was having some gastric problem due to which I went for a check up. There after check up I was prescribed Rabonik Plus , Heptral 400 mg & Hepexa M for 1month. I have taken the medicines as per prescribed dosage for 1 month. But till now I have some times inching pain in my stomach. What should I do.As per the previous treatment Doctor told me there was little amount of Fat over my Liver after testing through Endoscopy & Ultra sonography.My age - 29+ , Height- 5 ft 11 inch & weight - 92.

Hi! Good afternoon. I am Chat Doctor answering your query. If I were your doctor, I would first advise you to avoid eating from outside to prevent intestinal infections creeping in, and also to avoid alcoholic beverages and smoking if you do. I would then advise for a stool test for ova and cyst and treat it if positive and in addition would advise you for a proton pump inhibitor for a symptomatic relief. Fatty liver could be due to the dietary habits and lifestyle issues. An LFT test would be appropriate. I would advise some modification in your diet like more of roughage, enough liquids, avoidance of oily, fried, and fast food and regular routine exercises like morning walk depending on your medical fitness. This would be for a long term improvement in your health. A repeat ultrasound after six months might be helpful. 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.

Hi, I understand your concern and would explain that low blood pressure could be related to different possible causes: genetics, normal constitution, deny Chat Doctor. Coming to this point, as you have no other symptoms like shortness of breath, dizziness, lightheadedness, etc., there is nothing to worry about!

Hi I hope so - going to oral pathologist on Thursday - I have been dealing with extreme hard palate and tooth pain for 4 weeks - first dentist said not a tooth issue no cavities or abscess ent said maybe flora of my mouth was out of balance - reg dr couldnt make a diagnosis - second dentist said looks like severe sloughing - but not any typical peeling symptoms - I went on diet change per a nutritionist with eating lots of raw endive and seeds - I personally think this damaged my mouth - but after 4 weeks would hope it would subside - shooting pain in front teeth - now Im thinking nerve damage as well - I have been trying to eat through a straw so not to aggravate
|
Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query. The pain in the tooth and palate can be because of the tooth or gum infection. The other possible cause can be because of the erupted or impacted wisdom tooth. So consult a good oral physician and get it evaluated. Meanwhile you can take a course of antibiotics like amoxicillin and metronidazole you are not allergic). You need to take radiographs like OPG to confirm the diagnosis. I hope my answer will help you, take care.

Hi. With your descriptions, it seems that you have developed tinea cruris. It requires a minimum of two to three months to have a complete cure. I would suggest you take tablet Itraconazole 100 mg once daily and use 2 % Miconazole gel local application twice daily for one month and use Kz 2 % soap (Ketoconazole) for bathing after consulting your GP or nearby dermatologist.

It seems to have become a little bigger in the last year..I cant seem to detect the problem. I wonder if its a nerver ending on the lower lip? If you could help me it would be great.

Hi Dear, Welcome to Chat Doctor. The symptoms you mention in query is due to Force spots . These are basically benign skin lesions and tend to occur in certain predisposed people. They can develop over the oil glands. It is ectopic eruption of sebaceous gland. It is a normal variant. It is usually harmless, and no treatment is required until it bothers you aesthetically. Simply apply lip balm on lip. If you want to get it remove then consult dermatologist for proper examination and rule out any malignant growth. There few options your doctor can recommend you for its removal like CO2 laser, Pulsed dye lasers or Micro-punch technique. Hope your concern has been resolved. Get Well Soon.

Hi, iam 34 yrs male. I have been told that i have cervical spondolysis i have pain in my neck and my lower back. The doctor says it is not that bad it is in the begining stages. What are the things i need to avoid eating? Also i am slightly over weight, not really over weight but i have a belly can i do a little weight lifting to get in shape?
|
Hi, Thank you for posting your query. I have noted your symptoms and would like to reassure you that there is no need to worry about mild cervical spondylosis. The best treatment at this stage is physiotherapy. This includes neck extension exercises. Other methods are IT, ultrasound and traction for pain relief. It would be useful to reduce weight along with physiotherapy. For nerve pain, pregabalin capsules would help. I hope my answer helps.

I have been having mid left back pain (it is sharp, not very constant, it gets worse when I take deep breaths in), cough, sore throat, runny nose, tight feeling in my chest, and a feeling like I am not getting enough air in my lungs. I am unsure if I should go to a doctor, or if it is not severe enough to need to seek urgent medical care.

Hi Hope this message finds you in good health. I have gone through your query in detail and understand your concern. Left back pain can be due to a slipped disc or fibromyositis of the back muscles due to a strain. Runny nose and sore throat may be causing shortness of breath and tightness in chest. I would suggest you to consult a physician and start on appropriate medicines. Deep breathing exercises will definitely help. Hope your query has been answeredNothing to worry about, You should eventually get back to normal. Get back to me for any FOLLOW-UP QUERIES anytime. Kind

I ended my period two weeks ago, and started spotting about a week ago. After a day or two, the spotting turned into what a normal period would be for me, and seems to be ending now, two weeks after I finished my normal period. I m on the pill , and my periods have been consistent until now. Also, I ve been having pretty bad tension-like (I think) headaches that begin in the afternoon around 4-6 and get worse as the night progresses. I m wondering if these are related, as I am going through a very stressful time right now, or if it could be something else.
|
Hi, Thanks for the query. Stress and strain can alter the hormones by affecting hypothalamo-pituitary-ovarian axis. Which can cause menstrual irregularity like inter-menstrual spotting, bleeding etc. Contraceptive pills can also lead to menstrual irregularities. So now you continue your pills as usual and try to be tension-free. If the same problem repeats in future better to consult doctor once. Take care.

Hi, As you have POD problem, you should get your thyroid profile checked. Also do a serum prolactin test.

Please help me understand the report.Regards,

Hi...this is completely normal report. It is usual to rule out urinary infection if a kid more than 5 years has got enuresis. Now Enuresis is ruled out. I have few questions for you -1. Has your son stopped bed-wetting at certain age and again started having it2. If so at what age he stopped and when did it started he had never stopped bed-wetting form birth...you can try some behavioral changes which I can elaborate after proper history and interaction with you, but the effect will not be immediate, but it will be permanent. If it's a recurrence after attaining nighttime control, I suggest you see your pediatrician to rule out pathological causes like urinary infections or Voiding dysfunction. Hope my answer was helpful for you. I am happy to help any time. Further clarifications and consultations on Chat Doctor are welcome. If you do not have any clarifications, you can close the discussion and rate the answer. Wish your kid good health.

I need to find someone who can help me get a diagnosis for my brother. I believe he suffers from delusions of grandeur. My Dad won t be around much longer to support him so in order for him to get the services he needs he will need a diagnosis. I don t know if I can get him to go more than once or twice. It is painfully obvious to family members but I don t think a stranger would see a problem right away so I m concerned. Do you have a name of a psychiatrist that specializes in this? We live south of Detroit.
|
My best advice would be to call one of the local hospitals and ask to speak to the referral service. Most hospitals should have a department or operator who can give callers names of specialists who are in your geographic area. Another source of help would be a local URGENT CLINIC or if you truly believe there are psychiatric issues the local Neighborhood Psychiatric Services Outreach facility. Again, most of what you're asking about can be found within the setup of any local hospital whether it be a county facility or private one. Of course, the next step which will be more challenging is to get your brother over to the consult. All the best. You may write to me at: www.bit.ly/ Chat Doctor. Please rate this a 5-STAR ENCOUNTER.

Hello Dr. Recent days I am feeling that during early mornings some days, my heart beat goes little high and due to that i feel any of the body part ( hand, or leg ) vibrating kind of sense. After i feel such changes, i wake up immediately and as soon as I sat on the bed, the heart beat becomes normal. I have consulted a Cardiologist and he has taken ECG and told me that I am normal, but he suggested couple of tablets in the morning and night to be taken. But still some time I feel this symptoms again. I have high BP taking tablets regularly. most of the time the BP is around 130/90. I am going for morning walk/exercise once in three days regularly. Please suggest what Should I do more to reduce my BP and get rid of fast hear beat? regards Ram
|
Hi, I passed carefully through your question and would explain that your symptoms could be related to anxiety. You should know that waking up imposes a high level of stress to the body. Nevertheless, I would recommend checking thyroid hormone levels for possible thyroid gland dysfunction. Coming to this point, I would recommend low dose of beta blocker to help reduce heart rate and blood pressure values. In this regard, low dose of Carvedilol would be a rational choice. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

|
Hi;welcome to Chat Doctor From what you say it responded to antifungal confirms it to be a fungal infection;but since it reverts there should be either some bacterial infection along with fungal or the locally applied antifungal is not potent enough, and you may need to take antifungal orally also along with local application. Better idea is to consult a Dermatologist he will see & prescribe you with the necessary medicines antifungal and/or antibacterial what ever is required to treat your infection. So consult ASAP.

Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor, Fever with chills and rigor, I would come up with these possibilities 1 Urinary tract infection as this is the most common cause of fever with chills and rigor. Diagnosis can be confirmed by urine culture and sensitivity test. Also get in ultrasound of both kidneys.2 TYPHOID fever is another such fever which causes low grade fever with morning chills. Diagnosis can be confirmed by Tidal test.3 Tuberculosis, diagnosis can be confirmed by X-ray chest pa view as well as blood for C B C and E S R.However, there are so many other causes of such fever as anemia, HIV. So consult another physician and get his opinion. Thank you.

Hi, I get this strange sound/sensation in the back of my head - ususally when im really hungry. Its almost like a fizzing, sizzling sound - or like the sound of rainsticks (if youve heard them). its high pitched and doesnt last long. Ill often have them when i wake up in the morning and im hungry. It doesnt sound like bones cracking or popping or anything - sounds more like a liquid squeezing through a small hole or something, right at the base of my skull, or back of my throat. Any idea what it could be?

Hi thanks for using Chat Doctor. If there is no other symptom other than sound it may be due to hypoglycemia or problem in inner ear or due to some vascular problem. I suggest you to consult an ENT specialist to get examined and get done fasting blood glucose level and lipid profile. These are some basic tests for your symptom. Later proceed as advised by your doctor if other investigation required. Take disregards Chat Doctor.

My 10 year old daughter has had a stomach ache since yesterday. She has vomited 3 times. She does not have a fever. She is lethargic, and complains of dizziness. She also mentioned that her chest feels a little heavy kind of like when she had the flu and pnemonia in January.
|
Reclothe most common cause of pain abdomen with vomiting in the absence fever and loose stool is suggestive of gastritis. The reflux associated with gastritis may cause heaviness in chest. In flu or pneumonia there should be associated fever, cough,cold or fast breathing. As your child does not have any of these symptoms the possibility of pneumonia/flu is highly unlikely. The dizziness and weakness in gastritis occurs due to loss of fluids and electrolytes following vomiting. I would like to give her antiemetic with acid reducing agent like pantoprazole and risperidone combination. This will help in improving the oral acceptance and also relieve the pain. Give plenty of fluids to avoid deny Chat Doctor. If vomiting continues or condition deteriorates consult your physician. Regards

Hello doctor,I have complicated cataract RE with pars planitis. My doctor started conservative treatment and after two months he advised me to go for the surgery for cataract. I wanted to go with a multifocal lens in my eye to avoid specs after surgery. But the doctor suggested me to go for monofocal as the eye is having infection pars planitis. Is the doctor right to choose a monofocal or should I go for a multifocal lens?
|
Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor forum. Your doctor is correct in choosing monofocal as the amount of useful vision you will get would be less and the inflammatory reaction due to pars planitis may cause you to get lesser vision post surgery than what you had before it. Another option, however, is that you can wait for around three months after your pars planitis has resolved, and when there is no residual inflammation, then it is a good option to have multi focals implemented, provided your vision potential is good. I hope this helps.

Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ? Please type your query here... hi my name is emmaly and I was wondering about my niece and that she has a runny nose sinus congestion green snot and a cough and I dont know what to do. She is so congested that it sounds like she is having trouble breathing. Could u help cause from the look of it, its looks like a sinus infection and allergies togther
|
Hi, I understand your query. Sinus infection is due to blockage of sinus outlet by allergic inflammation/ thick mucus plug... collected secretions in sinuses get infected to form sinusitis. The origin of all the symptoms being similar (allergy,-congestion- infection)& there being anatomical connection between Throat-nose- sinus, common cold, sinusitis, throat & lung involvements tend to follow each other/ seen all together. The breathing trouble can be due to congestion & blocked nostrils Or allergic bronchitis A sufficient course of suitable antibiotic/ anti-inflammatory & anti-allergic Chat Doctor. Thanks.

hi,i am 26 year female it was found that i am having multiple calculi seen in the gall bladder lumen largest measuring 14mm.now i also having mild dilatation of pelvicalyceal system after i had sevier pain.pls kindly sugest me and explain the problems
|
Irish factors for gall bladder calculi Airedale gender, fatty, fertile person. Two types of stones seen in gall bladder1-cholesterol stones due to high cholesterol2-pigment stones due some blood disorders such as hemolytic anemia etcPelvicaliceal dilation means that your urine is not able to evacuate properly through your urinary system hence back pressure of urine to the kidneys has caused its dilatation. For gallbladder problem I will suggest you restrict fatty diet i e cream, cheese, butter etc. You will probably need surgery for it at any stage. In my opinion you should meet general surgeon for gallbladder and urologist for kidney problem who will ascertain cause of obstruction by doing ultrasonogram or computed tomography or intravenous biography. Thanks

|
Hi, There are few causes which may be responsible for not having pregnancy. First you try doing sex during most fertile period like 2-3 days before and after ovulation. Do not use any gel or cream for lubrication while doing sex. If there is no success then get you both partners examined for having any problem. Go for semen examination of your husband. Consult GAEC and go for investigations. Ok and take care. Ok and take care

I have developed itchy dry skin in the area from along my jawline to underneath my cheeckbones on both sides of my face. I also have a scalp infection that I did get a checkup on, and I was prescribed antibiotics , and given the instruction that if it did not heal within a week, then it may be a sign of fungal infection? Would that be linked to the irritation on my face as well? I also have a painful patch of skin on the edge of my left eye and in the corner of it as well. It has been a number of weeks now, and I dont think it has anything to do with hormones.
|
Welcome Thanks for the query. It is surely related to the irritation of the skin. I would suggest you should use a combination of an antifungal and steroid cream for a short while like a week twice a day. After that a long term maintenance with only topical application of the antifungal would be essential part of the treatment. In case it does not improve make sure you see a DermatologistThanks and take care

Hi, I had Tinea really bad, I used all the creams, but over a week a painful lump appeared om top of my foot in between my little toe and the one next to it, it was very painful and red, couple of days ago I burst it, and a brown liquid came out...what would it be...??
|
Hi, It seems that there might be having secondary bacterial infection on the part giving this problem. Clean the part and apply triple action cream. Go for one antibiotic medicine course for 3 days to cure bacterial infection. Apart from local application of antifungal cream, go for one oral antifungal medicine course as well. Keep inter digital part clean, Chat Doctor. Take care of cleaning inter digital spaces after taking shower. Ok and take care.

|
Hello, I understand your concern. I am Chat Doctor, infectious disease specialist, answering your concern. MRSA requires complete treatment otherwise it recurs. If it recurs it has many other resistant Chat Doctor. I advise you to take complete treatment again with mupirocin. Once you complete the treatment it is advised to take the swab from umbilicus, groin, nasal mucosa for MRSA screening. If you are clear with MRSA on this screening there is no need for further treatment. If you find any further MRSA than there is need for further treatment. I advise you strictly handwashing before and after touching your dog. If dog receives MRSA than it will be very difficult to clear from it, this MRSA will be returned to you and vice versa. I will be happy to answer your further concern you can contact me here, or you can contact me on bit.ly/

|
HiT hank you for asking Chat Doctor. I have gone through your query. Your problem can be due to lumbosacral disc prolapse or sacroiliac joint dysfunction. X-ray of lumbosacral spine should be carried out and MRI might be required for more detailed information. Local corticosteroid injections will give relief in sacroiliac joint arthritis. Muscle relaxants like tizanidine, NSAIDs like diclofenac and neurotrophic will be helpful. Physiotherapy and muscle strengthening exercises will be helpful also. A consultation with an orthopedic is well appreciated. Loss of excess body weight and using lumbar supporting belt will be helpful also. Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything is not clear. Thanks

Hi, Nothing to worry, masturbation is usual habit like thirst, hunger. So nothing to worry. Masturbation has not any adverse effect on your health or having bad effect in your future martial life. If you do not masturbate, semen and sperms are not deposited in your system. At regular interval it will be thrown in blood stream and will be excreted through urine. But I always tell keep your this habit in control. Ok and take care.

Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor. I am Chat Doctor. I will be answering your concerns. About 85% of couple conceive in the first year of marriage and 95% of couples conceive by the end of second year. So don't be stressed. Give time. You will get pregnant. It would have been nice if you had provided me some more information like your age, BMI, regularity of menstrual cycles, whether your hormone assay, semen analysis are normal. If it is bothering you first get baseline investigations like hormone assay, SG, and semen analysis done. Based on the results, you can be treated. To increase your chances of conception maintain normal BMI, quit smoking (if you're a smoker) and have intercourse at least three to four times in a week. Take a tablet of folic acid daily. If you have any further concerns do contact me through Chat Doctor.

I am always tired, achy, sleepy, itchy and sad. I am taking maintenance for hypertension, high cholesterol and taking whole omega and multi vitamins. If I am into depression, how do I snap out of it. I forced myself to exercise but it does not help much.
|
Degree understand your concerns went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. You are not into clinical depression yet. But definitely you are into virtual depression, which happens to everyone when they are dissatisfied with the life events which happen without their knowledge and are negative. Forcing exercise may not work here. It is attitude. Attitude towards life. Maybe you are worried and dissatisfied because of your physical problems. You need to understand that these are nothing. Above 45 each and every one comes across these problems. Here you should lie. Life is such. Full of unfortunate events. We all adjust to unfortunate events. No one know what happens next. Still Everyone lives in this world with hope about tomorrow. That hope Chat Doctor.

|
Hallow Dear, It is not clear from your history whether you had your last menstrual period (LMP) on 21 or 28 November or from 21st through 28th of November. I will presume your LMP to be 21 November for the current calculations. Also, I am presuming your menses to be regular coming after every 30 days. If there are any changes in this, you may then make the modification in the calculations. Egg is released (ovulation) from the ovaries 14 days prior to the next menses. Your expected menstruation would be on 21 December; hence the expected date of ovulation would be 7 December. The egg has life of 24 hours. Hence, any sexual intercourse around 6-7 December would be responsible for the pregnancy. Since, it is not clear on which date the baby was 19Β weeks, it would not be possible to make any calculations based on that. With the available history, it seems you are carrying the child of your husband. If you still have any doubt, the final confirmation can be done by DNA test after the delivery of the baby. I hope this helps you.

Hi, I ve got braces and have had them for quite some time now. My teeth are getting considerably straighter but my problem is I haven t been putting my elastics in evet since I ve got them and when I have it has only been max 3 days so I still have an overgap. Is there anything my Orthadontist could put into my mouth once my teeth are straight to fix the overgap or will I have to have my braces in longer and start and proceed to put my elastics in until my bottom and top teeth are in line?
|
Hello, I suggest that you follow instructions provided by your orthodontist. The rubber bands are necessary to help tooth movement. Noncompliance will extend the time needed to wear braces. Discuss your difficulty with wearing the rubber bands with your orthodontist. There may be an alternative such as a neck apparatus to wear at night that may be an option. If spacing can not be completely closed, there are options such as bonding, veneers, crowns or bridges to close the space. Stabilization after removal of the braces is very important to avoid a relapse. Wear retainers and follow instructions for the best long term result. Bonded retainers on the tongue side of your teeth are very common and ensure that you do not forget as it is fixed in place. Thank you for your inquiry.

My 12 year old daughter has been sick with vomiting and abdominal pain since the end of October. She has had 2 HYDA scans one came back with 0% ejection fraction and the other came back with 79%. She was in server pain during both. Does this mean there still may be issues with the Gallbladder? If so, is there another solution other than removing the gallbladder?
|
Hi Dear, Welcome to Chat Doctor. Understanding your concern. As per your query you daughter have symptoms of vomit, abdominal pain. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like indigestion, IBS, appendicitis, ulcers or UTI. It could be due to underlying systemic condition. Need not worry. I would suggest you to eat light and take small and frequent meals, take non-spicy food and take ibuprofen or acetaminophen or pain. Consult gastroenterologist for proper examination. Doctor may order ultrasound, endoscopy and stool test to confirm the diagnosis. Doctor may prescribe omeprazole, ornidazole, laxative or Ananias. Doctor may also refer you to urologist for UTI problem. Do not eat food products that can cause gas like dairy products and broccoli. Hope your concern has been resolved. Get Well Soon. Best Wishes,

Hello, Thanks for writing in. From the symptoms you have been experiencing, it looks like you are having constant anxiety and panic. This happens when one is under stress and starts having somatic complaints. Please consult a qualified psychiatrist and get yourself examined for possible stress related anxiety. You may also need certain psychological evaluation and take counselling. Hope this helps.

My daughter is four years old and for three weeks has been very pale, lethargic and irritable. A week ago she started having a slight temperature at bedtime, she has had this most nights since. She has had loose stools for about a week, she vomited once during the night last Friday, and now for the last few days she has also had a bad cough and is veery hoarse. I m worried that there might be something serious, such as leukemia, wrong with her. I have taken her to our doctor twice who has both times sent us away saying it is something viral . I just don t understand why she has been so out of sorts for so long. She cries very easily and gets tired out quickly. She does play and tries to do normal things but always becomes upset after an hour at the most, and cries inconsolably.

Hi, Your child is most probably having chronic diarrhea, which may be non-infective in origin. It may be of some sort of allergic to foods or irritable bowel disease, Crohn's disease. You need to find any correlation with specific food or specific pattern of altered bowel habit like loose motion and constipation. The child should be worked up properly with CBC, ESR, STOOL-R/M AND REDUCING SUBSTANCES, FECAL FAT ESTIMATION AND IF NEEDED SPECIFIC TESTS LIKE IGA, TTG. Whether you are giving any iron supplement or not and have you done deforming, I need to know before your children diagnosis.

Hello. I am a 28 year old mail, 6ft 2 inches tall, 78 kilos, in very good health(as far as I know). I am occasionally feeling a needle pin prick sensation on the outer, upper right thigh, which doesn t usually last much longer than five minutes. I experienced this very same pain, in the very exact same spot when I was 22 years of age on multiple occasions. But the sensations then stopped, and have now come back. Any insight would be appreciated, thanks!
|
Hi, Thank you for posting your query. The most likely cause of your symptoms is a condition, referred to as neuralgia parenthetical. In this condition, a nerve in the skin of the thigh region-the lateral cutaneous nerve of the thigh-gets slightly compressed at the level of groin. This results in symptoms such as pain, tingling, burning, numbness, etc. over the outer aspect of the thigh. It is a minor illness and responds well to medications such as pregabalin or gabapentin. Please consult a neurologist. Wishing you good health, Chat Doctor.

Hello doctor,I have been trying for a baby for the last eight months. The monthly disappointments are driving me crazy. I feel so low and like a total failure. How do I ensure that I do not spiral into depression? My husband is supportive and encouraging, but I end up crying each time I see or hear news of a baby.
|
Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor forum. You should, first of all, reassure yourself that if you will have sexual intercourse in a relaxed and stress-free mind then this will yield the best results. If you will do sexual intercourse in anticipation of the baby then you will remain stressed and this will make negative results. Stress too is one cause of poor fertility. You should spend more time in foreplay with your husband. Have more sexual encounter during a fertile period of the menstrual cycle that is during 12th to 16th day of the cycle (the first day of the cycle is the first day of bleeding). Keep your both legs up while you will remain lying down after ejaculation. This will prevent the leakage of semen. Remain in this position for around 5 to 10 minutes after sex. This will also help you a lot. Just do not lose your confidence. Just keep one thing in mind that you are healthy and you will have a baby without many issues. Try to spend more time in doing constructive activities. Avoid spending more time on the internet because this increases stress only. Light exercise in the evening too will lift up your mood. Do not get irritated on your family members which could happen in depression. This will help you. If needed, visit a psychiatrist for help.

Am awaiting scan for gallstones having had horrendous chest pain incident and spent night in hospital with suspected possible heart attack 4 weeks ago (it wasn t heart attack, thankfully) I have been feeling nausea occasionally after food since then, but it is happening more frequently now, and a lot of burping. Is this indicative of gallstones, too? Two family members have had the problem, my sister 40 years ago and my brother s son last year, but my sister, understandably, has forgotten the details of everything except the pain involved.
|
Hi, Thanks for posting your query. Gall stones may be asymptomatic or symptomatic. Asymptomatic gall stones doesn't need any treatment except it has risk of causing gall bladder cancer in the future. Symptoms due to gall stones may be pain (in right upper abdomen), nausea and fever. Burping with nausea indicates dyspepsia, and it has no correlation with gall stones. You should consult with physician and also go for endoscopy to rule out gastric problems. Thanks,

hello mam,my medical history is below as :-March 2012 :- starting treatment for PCODApril 12 :- getting pregnentJune 12 :- miscarriaged it.From june 12 to still :- Treatment Under observation of Gyn from 30 jan. 2014 :- Go to 2nd gyn who tests my USG and TVS, found small right ovarian cyst and prescribed me NOVELON.But should novelon prove as fruitful for me and could i ever able to conceive ?
|
Hi, I guess your concern is about, will you be able to conceive after taking Novel on. Right.my straight forward answer is -YES You will conceive. Novel on is usually given to regulate the menses. Once menses is regular, there is high chances of getting pregnant. As you told that you have cyst in your ovary, that means you might have irregular menses. For that your treating gynecologist prescribe you Novel on to regulate your menses first. You have not given information regarding your menses, whether It's regular or not, so It's difficult for me to comment on this. Novel on is also fruitful in case of ovarian cyst, to decrease its size. With above information you can try out my suggestions: 1. RELAX AND DON'T TAKE TENSION. KEEP faith to your treating doctor.2. Novel on is fruitful to decrease the ovarian cyst size, and to regulate the menses. Once cyst size decrease n menses regulate, there will be high chances of getting pregnant.3. If you are in hurry then visit to nearby infertility specialist. He/she can help you. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Tithe symptoms usually occur due to benign eye floaters which are secondary to undissolved particles in vitreous of eye. They are harmless. In case, your daughter feels that there is sudden increase in number, and they are associated with flashes of light then immediately visit an ophthalmologist for complete eye examination. It may be a sign of vitreous detachment. Early intervention in such cases are associated with good outcomes. Hopefully this will help you. Take care

Hi my mum is 83 and for years now she has been suffering with bad choking fits every day which seems to come from congestion. She does nt take any medication and says that nothing can be done to help her. As she gets older the coughing is getting worse. Is there anything that can be done to help her? When she coughs she sometimes runs out of breath. It is constant every day.
|
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your mothers situation and problem. In my opinion, we should first diagnose her and then start appropriate treatment. By her history and description, possibility of bronchitis or aspiration pneumonia is more. Bronchitis is common in old age. Choking with thick secretions in old age is common in aspiration pneumonia. So better to consult pulmonologist and get done 1. Clinical examination of respiratory system 2. Chest x-ray to rule out pneumonia. 3. PUT (Pulmonary Function Test) for the diagnosis of bronchitis. She may need antibiotics, inhaled bronchodilators and inhaled corticosteroid (ICS). So better to first diagnose her and then start appropriate treatment. Hope I have solved your query. Wish you good health. Thanks.

I have a cyst at the back of my neck for the last 6 years. Three months back the same started growing to the size of small lemon and last month thick fluid with foul smell started coming out. The physician I saw was the opinion that it is an infected sebaceous cyst and drained it out with a needle and advised to take antibiotic for 10 days.. The size of the cyst and pain reduced considerably but if you press the area pus seems to be coming out in little quantity. Please advise what further treatment in this regard to be followed and should I consult a dermatologist or surgeon for treatment.S V V Krishnan
|
Hello! Thank you for asking Chat Doctor! I understand your concern! Answer: Sebaceous Cyst can be treated by Chat Doctor. Normally, cysts are removed. This is not because they are dangerous but rather for cosmetic reasons. Without surgical removal, sebaceous cyst usually come back. The best treatment is to ensure complete removal through surgery. You can consult a surgeon. After your cyst is removed, your doctor may give you an antibiotic ointment to prevent infection in the affected area. You should use this until the healing process is complete. You may also be given a scar cream to reduce the appearance of any surgical scars. If you have a complete removal, the cyst will not return to the future. Hope my answer was helpful!

my last period was august 2011...that was when i actually had bleeding. It is now october 2011 and i have still not gotten it. I have had late periods before but i do not remember them being this late. My husband and I have unprotected sex and I am not on birth control. I am only 22 and i have never been pregnant. what are the chances i should take a pregnancy test?
|
Hallow Dear, Your history suggests that there are good chances that you could be pregnant. Whenever a woman in childbearing age, otherwise having regular menses, misses her period, is having sexual exposure and is not on any birth control method, the first diagnosis is Pregnancy. You can confirm the pregnancy by urine pregnancy test performed 8-10 days after missed period on overnight morning first urine sample.

I am 71 years old I have fibromyalgia I have had it for over 20 years experience daily pain chronic fatigue and I m really scared it s going to get to a point where I can t function. I have spinal stenosis herniated discs I have a lot of arthritis and bursitis. Could you tell me is there any hope that I can lead it relatively pain-free life? Also I am diabetic and about 45 pounds overweight.

Hi, The fatigue tends to not get worse and to level out. I don't know what to say about pain issues. Most Chat Doctor. Disk disease has to be monitored that it doesn't cause paraplegia. If it doesn't cause nerve damage, then, mostly the same way that muscles, joints, skin sag with being old, the internal structures also sag. This produces the lumbar disk paradox of the disk getting further out of place over age, but the need for narcotics decreasing because the disk and the other structures have more space. Fibromyalgia responds well to modalities to increase pain tolerance (exercise, mobility, meditation, and physical therapy). Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

How does the brain work? I know all thought is based on association, which is formed in a grid of neurons and synapses - but when I (my ego) actively query myself for information, how does the brain transmit the query and how does it collect the memory? Do we know this yet? Please, use all the terminology you have.

Hi Lux. Thanks for your query and sing Chat Doctor. Your question is very simple, however, the answer is very complex. Most of the information about how memory work and how information is retrieved is described in theories as its difficulty to give a definite proof. We definitely have considerable understanding about the physiology of brain, but, It's far from complete. It will be impossible for me go into the details here. You can follow the links below for further information. http://www.unmc.edu/physiology/Mann/mann19.htmlhttp://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/9496622http://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/469464 Thanks

I am concerned about my grandsons living with my daughter who is exhibiting bipolar symptoms and her boyfriend that has told me that he has been diagnosed paranoid schazephrenic. neither are under a dr care for these conditions. her boyfriend was born with as a heroine baby and has had serious drug problems from street drugs. recently in August he beat her up and held her captive trying to gauge her eyes out and kicking and punching her. a friend of hers husband beat him up and has post concusion disorder sadly she returned to live with him despite having a restraining order and DA speaking up against having it revoked. he is still on probation and seems to be well behaved lately. my concern is how dangerous is he and is it this mental illness that causes this behavior. he is extremely controlling and paranoid and fuels this belief in my daughter

Hello, Thanks for your query. I can understand that the situation with your daughters' family must be quite distressing to you. You are indeed right in being concerned about the safety of your grandsons and your daughter. You have mentioned that your daughters' boyfriend has been diagnosed to have Paranoid Schizophrenia and that he has serious Chat Doctor. Now, Paranoid Schizophrenia is a serious mental illness and requires regular treatment and follow up. Unfortunately, it seems that he is not on any medication or monitoring, which increases the risk of relapse of symptoms, that can lead to aggressive behavior. Using street

hi my father is 60 years old he had bp & sugar he is taking medicine for bp and insulin for sugar last year we checked serium creatine and the level was 2.30 after some months the level very to 4.00 and now the report is 8.50 what is the medication for my dad plz write
|
Hello, seeing your creatinine reports which has come to 8 from 2, it is a matter of concern. His kidneys have reached damage to about 80%. I would suggest you to consult a nephrologist because he might require dialysis at least once or twice till his creatinine comes to normal range or his baseline i.e. 2. Then if it gets managed solely on medications he will just need to regularly keep check on his creatinine levels. I hope I have helped your question. Thank you

Hi. My son is 6 years old and has white discharge coming from his anus. It was irritated looking and after warm tub baths with Epsom salt, alcohol and peroxide it s no longer irritated, but he has a white discharge. Should I be concerned and take him to his ped doctor?
|
Hi, Welcome to the ChatDoctorFirst I would like to know, since when he has got discharge, whether he also gets pain during defecation (passing stool). Is he having complaints of constipation also? As there can be many causes like infected polyp, worm infestation, or hemorrhoids depends on what is the previous history. My opinion would be got checked by doctor in person and discuss further.

Hi, My son is about to be 5 in 2 weeks.yesterday night all of a sudden he bought his fallen teeth & put it in my hand.He didnt even complained about it shaking or hurting.I am so worried he is just 5 & didnt show any symptoms. Do i have to take him to dentist or what should i do?
|
Hi. Welcome to Chat Doctor . I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns. As per your complaint falling of milk teeth at the age of 5 years is not abnormal as by the age of 6 years the permanent teeth will start erupting, therefore the milk teeth will gradually fall by then. So it is not at all abnormal and if there was no pain or loosening was not noticed, it is also no an abnormal finding. If you have any doubt then you can consult a Periodontist and get him evaluated, and he can take a Panoramic x-ray so that the exact condition of the permanent teeth and the falling deciduous teeth will be ruled out, and you can be advised accordingly. Hope this information helps. If you find the answer helpful please give me a Five-Star Review and click on found the answer helpful as a token of appreciation. Thanks and regards. Chat Doctor.

I am 50 yrs old, female, good shape, within last 6 years have done triathlons, marathons. Normally run 4-6 miles a day, 4-5 days a week in the morning. Take plenty of supplements, probably don t get enough water. Take NO prescriptions, no ailments. Have suddenly developed lower back pain, right side, works its way around to my hip and groin, sometimes shoots down my leg. Can t run now. Going to chiro, says maybe nerve or calcium deposit. Doing ultrasound on the spot. Not helping. Thoughts?
|
Hello, It would be a very good bet that you are suffering from some degree osteoarthritic degenerative change in the spinal column that is irritating or squeezing either a disc or nerve root in the area of the arthritic changes. It is very possible that the changes are calcifications or the presence of what are called OSTEOPHYTES that are commonly found in these kinds of situations. An MRI of the lumbar spine would be much more helpful than ultrasound or any other type of imaging study. The arthritis foundation of America has a website that is just full of great suggestions for explanations as to what happens in these types of situations along with suggestions for exercises including stretching regimens, PHYSICAL and AROMATHERAPY. There are also dietary recommendations that they make which the foundation describes as being helpful in patients with osteoarthritis. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Chat Doctor.

Hello and thanks for using Chat Doctor. I have read your question and understand your concerns. An MRI of your wives spinal (thoracic) column is necessary to get a correct diagnosis of the condition. In such cases, spinal stability is crucial and this is evaluated better with the MRI. An evaluation by a Neurosurgeon or spine specialist is necessary also to complete the diagnostic process and to evaluate the appropriate treatment possibilities. Hope this helps. Take care.

i am a pitcher and got hit by a line drive off the bat that im guessing was around 90 mph. I was hit just off center of my shin. The area swelled for a while but almost immediately went away after icing the area. To my surprise the area never so much as bruised even a little. I now have this hard mass that is probably 3 x 5 and hurts to touch. The incedent was 2.5 weeks ago. should I be concerned?
|
Hi, i appreciate your concern.it seems you developed blood collection at the site of hit on shin. When it is hit by hard object with a high speed, possibility of injury to bone, as well as covering of bone called periosteum is sure. This blood clot starts consolidating and calcification is started. After few weeks time it will be calcified more and periosteal reaction will lead to new bone formation. This new bone when calcified in due course of time, hard bone like feeling will be there.thanks.I will be happy to answer more future quarries.

I frequently get lower respiratory infections after cardiovascular exercise. I believe the infections are viral, but they do occur often; generally lasting 7-10 days. I produce thick, copious, and distinctly smelling phlegm ranging in color from yellow to green, depending on the infection. Sometimes I will produce clear mucus from the lungs for up to a month post the acute phase of the infection. It is frustrating and concerning that I have this issue when trying to get back into a cardiovascular exercise routine. I do use Symbicort for mild asthma and have albuterol for when these infections occur. I am a 40 y/o male with a 10 year pack/week smoking history (age 22-32). What do we have hear?

Hi Dear !! Thanks for your query to Chat Doctor. Read and reviewed your query and health concerns. You seem to suffer from Smokers Bronchitis with Asthmatic Bronchitis-for which you use Symbicort and albuterol, to control thematic attacks. When Cardiorespiratory exercises are done-the severity of exercises-leads to aggravation of Asthmatic Bronchitis, which later on complicates with secondary infection / or re-activation of subclinical infection in ?bronchiectasis ? Lung/bronchial tissues. And hence you get the respiratory infections after Cardio-respiratory exercises Suggested-You need to stop Smoking, due to which your lung/bronchial system is sensitive and prone to undergo re-infections. Plenty of Fluids before exercises and during and after exercises-to keep lung passages sufficiently humid and HY Chat Doctor. High Protein/high carb bland diet/plenty of fruits /Tab Zirconia, would keep you away from-Symbicort and albuterol-bronchodilators and dependence on them, for long. Proper timely antibiotics support would be needed to reduce number of attacks from chronic lung tissue damage. Proper Bronchial physiotherapy would keep your lung tissues free from bronchiectasis residual infection. Hope this reply would help you to resolve the health issues with help of doctors attending on you.

Hi. Today I had an old filling removed from a lower moler. The tooth also has a small crack in the rear of the tooth. Anyway, the old silver amalgam filling was grinded out. The old filling was very large, as the dentist mentioned to me. So he finished grinding it out. He mentioned seeing the crack. He then put in a temporary filling. It is very white in color. So I scheduled an appointment for 3 weeks from now. But now that the anesthetic has worn off, the tooth is so sensitive to pressure that I cannot make contact between my upper and lower tooth without piercing pain. It doesn t hurt badly at rest. But only when biting or under pressure. Is this normal for a temporary filling? Thanks!
|
Hello and thank you for your question. This typically is not normal for a temporary filling. This may indicate that the bite is too high on the restoration and will need to be reduced to help remove the irritation. Depending on the crack, what happens with this is when you bite down you open the crack which changes the pressure around the nerve, when you let go, it closes and changes the pressure again, this leads to pain in the nerve. This may indicate that the crack has entered into the pulp requiring a root canal, or it causes enough irritation to the pulp that the dentist needs to grind the tooth until the crack goes away. I have worked on many patients with cracks in their teeth and the pain goes away once its Chat Doctor. Other times it goes right into the pulp and needs to have a root canal. In other cases the crack is so deep that the tooth is non-restorable and needed to be extracted. Hang in there. Best Wishes

My husband is getting terrible leg cramps at night, quads, from the top of the knees to top of the legs....worst than I have seen ever. I bought pure magnesium so he could rub on his body when he has a cramp. also calcium magnesium citrate to take orally. He still gets them...they just come up with a vengeance.

Hellhole Muscle cramps are very common my advice for YouTube plenty of water, fluid intake will dilute toxins. Physiotherapy with ultrasound and Tens will help you, you can do exercises like swimming, riding stationary bicycle, but do not overexert yourself. Take potassium rich diet. Hot and cold fomentation to leg. You need to continue you medication for a couple of month to see effects. Add tab methylcobal 1500 once day. Wishing you good health. Take carhop I have answered your query. I will be available to answer followup queries. If you are satisfied with the answer, please give your review at the end of the discussion.

Doctor says creatine score is slightly high and had passed 1 cm stone on left ureter still after 10 months the ureter kick and spasm. did 3 rounds of antibiotics and on veggie and fruit diet, symptoms are better but will this improve more very scary and hard to live with
|
Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor. As a Urologist, i can understand your anxiety. Your symptoms are those of a stone causing a block to the kidney. If your symptoms are persisting, its best to repeat ultrasound scandium. That will show if a stone is present and its effect on the kidneys. If your creatinine is high, you should avoid fresh fruits and repeat creatinine. You should take anti-inflammatory tablets for pain, as advised by doctor. If you've any doubts, send the reports to me, as a direct question. Chat Doctor. Manga.

In Oct. we went on a cruise to Mexico. When we got off the cruise ship my son was sick with asthma. I took him to the doctor and the doctor said he had pneumonia and legionnaires disease. The pneumonia come back once after he finished his round of antibiotics. He has been on three antibiotics and steroids since Oct. Ever since he was diagnosed with pneumonia he has been having severe asthma. It is like he can not stay well. He is on a nebulizer machine and is taking a steroid inhaler. Is there a specialist that he might need to see. His asthma keeps flaring up. He has missed three weeks of school. He also says sometimes when he coughs it tastes like metal. Thanks!

Hi thanks for asking question in Chat Doctor. Your child have hypersensitivity reaction. If possible search for exaggerating factors that lead to acute attack of asthma. Ex.some have allergy because of dust, some have certain food allergy. Just now according to history given your child should regularly take inhalation steroid by rota haler or MDI at the suitable dose. Take nebulizer to home .so whenever needed levosalbutamol nebulization can be given. While going to school cover nose with mask if possible. Chat Doctor. If having seasonal allergy then leukotriene antagonist
