Hi Doctor , 20 days before i had temperature , cough and it takes 15 to 20 days , and here local doctor gave me anti bio tics i eat them and now i well , no temperature but still have cough , it seems like some times the dry one and some times not, with all this my complex i mean color of my face and body becomes pale and brown , all people says to me what happen to your face , today i look in mirror i saw black, grey spot on my tongue also.What you suggest and recommend.
HIT hanks for posting your query. Fever with cough indicates infection, though you were treated with Antibiotic, your cough has still persisted. It means the Antibiotic given to you has not worked properly, and you need to get another course of antibiotic. But this time before getting an antibiotic started I would recommend a test called Throat swab culture sensitivity test. This test will tell which is the right Antibiotic for you and if you use that Antibiotic your cough will subside. Also do salt water gargling, Chat Doctor. Hope this information was useful to you. Any clarifications feel free to ask.

HiJust want to check. My 10 month old baby is teething and struggles to fall asleep at night and I want to know if its ok to give her Ponstan at night. I only gove her 3ml before bedtime and during the day I use Prodol.Dont want her to become too dependant on it but it seems to be the only thing that helps her fall asleep.
Hi, I have gone through your query and can understand your concern. As per your complaint it seems that discomfort during teething is commonly seen with toddlers but giving medication to relieve pain is not acceptable until there is severe pain or fever. I would suggest you that in case if there is need of pain reliever you should prefer ProDOS that contains Acetaminophen and is safe. Phonemic acid present in Constant is commonly given if the toddlers does not get relief with Acetaminophen alone. You can consult a Periodontist and get evaluated in case of continuous severe pain. You can also do cool compresses over the gums to reduce inflammation and pain. Feed him with plenty of cool fluids and soft bland diet. Hope this helps. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Hello, one of my molars on the left side of my mouth has a big hole in it. My gum is exposed and I only eat on the right side because of my situation with the left. I am very afraid of the denist because of past experiences; what will they do when I do decide to go? Will they give me gas to put me to sleep?Thank you,Kind Regards
Hello, A direct clinical as well as radiological examination of the decayed tooth has to be done to plan the treatment. If the decay is grossly affected, tooth has to be extracted. Orelse root canal treatment or pulp capping has to be done. All these procedures are undergone after administration of local anesthetic solution. No need to be panic. Take complete course of antibiotics-analgesics. Hope this helps.

hi, I am vikas khanna. I am 38 years old. I am heavy drinking daily from the age of 20. I am doing hand practice for more than 2 times a day.I have completely memory loss. I am suffering from depression. Is these mind problems due to alcohal and hand practice.Can this memory loss be recovered completely.
Degree understand your concerns went through your description. I suggest you not to worry too much. You are having depression and stress due to both of those reasons. Namely, alcohol dependence as well as masturbation. Alcohol dependency do have an adverse effect on health and mental health. But masturbation is not unhealthy if practiced moderately. Once daily is maximum. You are combining alcoholism with excess masturbation. Consult a psychologist for further therapeutic treatment. If you need more of my help in this regard, please post a direct query on this portal. I am happy to help you. Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications. Good luck.

Hi, my daughter is exactly twenty six month old. Fur the past seven months she is having difficulty in passing stool. She gets highly constipated. She s not a great eater! My question is will neopeptine syrup help passing stool? Will it solve the constipation issue? If yes, what ll be the dose? Please suggest.
Hello, At such a young age, anything to help pass motion is not advisable. No, Serpentine doesn't help passing motion. If she is a poor eater, then you have to figure out ways to create her interest and see to it that she gets enough fiber and fluid. Give her a glass of warm water in the morning and make her run around to get the defecation reflex. Take advice or short-term medicine if she has hard stools and try to regularize her habits. It will be helpful in the long term. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

My grandson is 3 years old and beginning yesterday afternoon his bowel movements smell like a petroleum based product. His bowel movement this morning was the sane. The consistency is pasty. He has no health issues, intact very healthy. Could this b a little bug going around or is it something more serious. He is eating and drinking. He is drinking only water right now. Would yogurt be helpful or maybe sone pedialite. His diet is really no different than any other day. Could pool water cause this. My pool has a salt generator that produces the chlorine needed for my pool. Sometimes he ingests some of the pool water when swimming.
Hello, Based on the information you have provided, it sounds like it could be from his diet. The main thing you want to monitor is the color of his stool. You said he is not constipated or having diarrhea so that is good. If the odor becomes foul smelling or if the color becomes white, gray, black or contains blood, that's when you would want to think about taking a stool sample in. He is also acting normal and does not have any other symptoms, which again indicates that it has to do with the food.

i have lumps on both sides of my neck and it hurts when touched. Ive been lifting heavy things a week ago. I am also a cancer survivor with my last chemo last March 2013. I want to know if it has something to do with cancer or just overused muscles and nerves. Thanks for your response.
Hi. Great that you are a cancer survivor. If the lumps are fixed and move with muscle movements only, they can be from the over-used muscles, a sort of knot formation. Another possibility can be multiple lymph nodes= as they are bilateral there is more chance of being infective in origin as they are painful too. Can be recurrence of cancer. The best way is to get a clinical examination by the Doctor and FNAC of the masses... Get a diagnosis and get stress-free.

My white count is a little low 3.9 and my liver enzymes are slightly elevated. I have no other symptoms except for a fever of 5 days and my abdomen seems distended to me. I was told it is probably viral and give it a few more days. What do you think?
Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor, Elevated liver enzymes are due to damage to the liver cells or hepatocytes. Damage to hepatocytes can occur due to infections, Chat Doctor. Thus, other liver function tests also need to be done to know the status of liver functions. Low white blood cell counts can be due to many reasons like severe infections, bone marrow depression etc. Thus, consult your primary healthcare provider for clinical assessment and thus treatment. Thanks and take care

Hi doctor,I hit my shoulder a while back. Since then, my shoulder slightly turns to the side like a dislocation or something whenever I do anything strenuous like work out or swimming or hanging on to something. I can just tilt my hand and it would come back to the original position, so it is not a complete dislocation. I consulted a doctor and he took an MRI scan and it read Hill-Sachs lesion. He asked me to maintain the shoulder in rest for six months and do nothing which is hard for me to accept as I lead a very active life. How would I know whether it is healing or it has healed in the future as he did not make any future appointment?
Hi. Shoulder subluxation with Hill-Sachs lesion. Always wear the arm pouch and avoid movements of the shoulder outside the arm pouch. Revert back with the MRI report to an orthopaedician and traumatologist online.-

Hello. am 23 years old.I was been said that fibrocystic disease.I have pain in both breast. I want to know that if fibrocystic disease have any relation to breast cancer?and what is fibrocystic disease.I have done x-ray , mammogram , ultra sound scan.in ultra sound scan reported that both mammary glands show mild fibroadenotic changes of parenchyma
Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor, You are having Fibrotic disease OG breast, in which lumps are present, and they can be painful or tender this discomfort may change with changes in hormone level during periods. These are non-cancerous in nature, so please do not worry. You have already done mammography and sonography, and they also support your diagnosis. You should be examined by a Surgeon who can palpate typical cobblestone type in upper and outer qua Chat Doctor. If there are any suspicious lumps then only a fine needle biopsy or nipple fluid aspiration is done to rule out malignant lesion. Risk of cancer is there but very small fraction, only thing sometime it may be difficult to diagnose in presence of fibrotic disease. For pain local or systemic analgesic may be used, and treatment option are few but may be dopamine agonist and progestins. Take care Good luck

Hello doctor, I had a transperineal ultrasound-guided prostate biopsy approximately four weeks ago. As a result of the biopsy, I have been getting a discharge of fluid from my penis when I empty my bowels. This happens usually with a hard stool. The color of the discharge is brownish. Is this a normal experience from a biopsy? Is there any further information you can point me? Blood in the urine has stopped approximately two weeks following the biopsy.
Hello. Anatomically prostate is located just in front of the rectum. The biopsy procedure would have caused some micro trauma with resultant bleeding. So, when a hard stool passes through the rectum, it puts pressure on the rectum thus causing the collected old blood to come out through urethra as brownish blood which dilutes with the urine. As such this is harmless and need not worry about this. However, if you have pain and fever associated with it, you need to consult the urologist. I hope this helps.

He denies a sore throat. No troubles breathing. cannot palpate any lymph nodes on sides of neck. Just spitting clear fluid every min or so???
Dear user your son spitting doe snot need to worry about it is just indicates excessive salivation that may occur after viral or bacterial infection or just psychological behavioursome times infections leads to excessive secretions of the saliva and this not indicative to any treatment or any management as it is self limited after a period of time as the salivation decreases and spitting decrease also psychological problem or stress of the infant may be the cause of that and need only to psychological support of him as he may adhere to someone behavior that he may see .........so treatment only avoiding stress of him and psychological support hope that helps you

i am a bus driver i bwas at work the other day when another bus backed into mine while i was stationary is it possible i could have whiplash as find it hard to move my neck and my left side i have been told you cant whiplash when stationary and if you no the impact was about to happen.
Hellothank you for contacting ChatDoctorno in your case whiplash injury is unlikely to occur. You are having muscular spasm due to sudden jerky movement. I would suggest you following things:> take proper rest for 2-3 days> take hot water in rubber bottle and place against your neck and back. It will give soothing effect.> take naproxen 500Β mg one at night for 3 days. It will relax your muscles and reduce pain. Hope this answers your question. Wishing you good health

I am a 40 year old female, drinker of alcohol, smoker of cigarettes and have a poor diet. Just noticed a lump/nodule (about the size of a silver dollar) on my lower back about 1 1/2 inches to the right of my spine (L3-L4) area. It is completely painless. I have no family history of any kind of cancer, however, I am still concerned. Obviously, I am fully aware that I should see a physician to get it checked out, but I do not have insurance and am currently unemployed. I will have it looked at as soon as I can afford to, but in the meantime...should I be overly concerned since it is painless? Please give me the best advice you can with the limited information I have provided. I am a professional engineer and hold a master s in business, therefore, I understand that you will only be able to provide me with a list of possibilities. Thank you so much for your time.
Hi! Good morning. I am Chat Doctor answering your query. Even though it requires a physician examination and related investigations like an FNAC to reach at a definitive diagnosis, from your history it seems to be a benign lump like a deposition of fat. However, alcohol and smoking habit along with poor dietary habit also compels me to think of chronic infections like tuberculosis resulting in a cold abscess showing up at the area specified. Further management would depend on the physical examination and related investigations like an FNAC. I would also take this opportunity to dissuade you from alcohol and smoking and would encourage you to have proper diet instead for a healthy life. 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.

I have had a restricted shoulder for months and recently have had pain in the neck and my ear is swollen and sore. I had an osteoma removed from the ear canal years ago and usually the doctor says he cant see anything but I know that antibiotics usually clear it up. i have never had a scan but wondered if this could be mastoiditis. I am in my fifties but apart from this am very fit. How do I get my doctor to recognise it could be my ear that is causing my shoulder pain
Hello dear, Thank you for your contact to Chat Doctor. I read and understand your concern. I am Chat Doctor answering your concern. No, mastitis never causes a shoulder pain. It can cause a referred pain up to neck but not into the shoulder. But if you have Osceola than it can be possible that this Osceola can be present in shoulder. This should be diagnosed by bone scan or by X-rays. Treatment can only be possible once the definitive diagnosis is done. Physiotherapy can play a good role in the condition. Various modalities of physiotherapy like heat therapy, exercise and electrostimulation can help to relieve the pain of the shoulder. I will be happy to answer your further concern on bit.ly/ Chat Doctor. Thank you, ChatDoctorInfectious diseases specialist, ChatDoctor.

Hi doctor,I am a 22 year old female, suffering from ear pain. The doctor confirmed that it is due to some virus and there is a small hole in my ear. Some tablets and Otobiotic drops were given. Still, it did not cure my pain. Please help.
Hi, Welcome in ChatDoctor. I understand your concern. You are probably suffering from CSOM (chronic suppurative otitis media) with otitis externa. My advice is to consult your ENT doctor for thorough examination of the ear and necessary investigations to know the real pathology for planing final treatment of ear ChatDoctor. For your ear pain due to secondary infection, I suggest the following.

hi, i would like to ask if a fluctuating bp of 120/80 to 100/70(varies from day to night) is normal? My usual is 110/70 and had an ecg and blood chem(once i had a 160/100 but only for about 4 hrs) last 7 months and all is normal. Im 22 btw. Is everything alright for me?
Blood pressure variation occurs with the kind of activity you are engaged in, for example in a resting state BP will be in the normal range, with active lifestyle or during exercises or stress, it tends to increase. It's important to keep a check on when your BP is high and what is the relation with activity. Assuming your blood workup to be within normal limits, there is no need for concern. However, if you have a family history of hypertension or myocardial infarction, It's important to alter lifestyle and go for medication if required as hypertension can have long term complications. Hope this helpsRegards

Hi Welcome to Chat Doctor After going through your query I concluded that you are having backache cause of it is acidity. You can take winter tablets as it have given relief.

I ve been having pain on left,middle and right side of stomach..plus a strange feeling in upper center of chest..I had a ultrasound done and it showed gallbladder packed with stones and liver has cyst. can the gall bladder with stones a cause discomfort and pain on my left side and a strange feeling in my upper chest? my doctor prescribed Zantac thinking it was heartburn, gerd or gastritis. But when I tried taking it I had bad side effects heart became irregular/fast and blood pressure shot up,also felt dizzy and shaky so I stopped taking it. I take the medication amiodorone for atrial fib. I m female 60 years old and wondering about some alternative natural remedies such as aloe Vera juice, triphala and DGL instead of Zantac. Thanks in advance Joyce
Hi.noted history of gallbladder stones, cyst in the liver and associated abdominal pain. Yes, it is possible that the symptoms you're experiencing are secondary to your gallstone and liver problem. Pain caused by gallstones is usually epigastric (middle upper part of the abdomen or substernum; most common site of gallstone pain) or right upper qua Chat Doctor. It is best if you consult with a doctor, preferably a gastroenterologist or a general surgeon, for physical examination and clinical evaluation. Other diagnostics (such as ERCP, liver function tests, alkaline phosphatase) and management (medical and/or surgical if indications are found) will be directed accordingly. Definitive management of gallstone disease is cholecystectomy or surgical removal of the gallbladder, which can be done laparoscopically (gold standard) or through open technique. Liver cyst can be observed initially and if not causing any obstructive sign or symptom. Low fat low salt diet is also recommended. Hope this helps. Good day!!~

I just had Liver Function Test done, it is found that GGT is slightly elevated (66 against normal 55). I have been taking sildenafil/viagra in recent past recreationally , 2 or 3 times in a week in last 2-3 months. Rest of Liver enzymes are normal. Please suggest.
Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor forum. You have slight increase in the liver enzymes, it may not be due to the sidewall, and more over you are taking it occasionally only. Anyhow it is better to go through the other tests of the liver, to prevent any further progress. Avoid taking fat, oily foods, junk foods, alcohol etc. Take fresh juice of palatable vegetables daily. Wishing for a good health, Thank you.

my daughter has seen a lung doctor for almost a year he has done many test why she is experiencing shortness of breath not only with exercise but at rest as well, she also experience a rapid heart rate, which she see s a heart doctor for that. The heart doc. put her on verapamil and flouricordisone so she can absorb sodium due to her low sodium levels. Her lung doctor does know she has inflamed airway, she was put on many different inhalers, none of them worked, the test from her broncolscopy are coming back as normal we are stuck on what to do next
Hello! Welcome and thank you for asking on Chat Doctor! Regarding her cardiac symptoms, they seem to be related to orthostatic intolerance. That is why her doctor has prescribed verapamil and fluorous Chat Doctor. Regarding her shortness of breath I would like to know the results of her respiratory function tests. If it is inflammation in the lungs, it may be asthma. Steroids (inhalation or tablets), coupled with beta simulators (albuterol, albuterol) inhalators may be helpful!

My dad is 70. He has been wheelchair bound for 14 years. Partial parallisis from multiple back surgeries and has some signs of MS with loss of manual dexterity, speech slurring, and breathing problems, (although he has never been diagnosed). With all the issues he deals with, his mind and thought processes have remained strong and stable. My main concern as of late has been discharge with his stool and after Boswell movements along with swollen testicles. Any advice on what that could be. He is very reluctant to go to the doctor office.
Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns. I think the actual problem of your father is a bacterial infection of both gastroenteritis and genitourinary tracts predisposed by paralysis and MS that affects not only limbs, but bowels and urinary bladder. I suggest that your father needs urine and stool cultures to identify the cause (probably bacterial) and sensibility to antibiotics. Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow-up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions.

Doctor i have scalp psoriasis . i just read in a journal that there is a connection between psoriasis and HIV , is there anything i should worry about? Another question is that psoriasis will spread it seems is it true and many of them say it is incurable? I am very much worried please reply as soon as possible,,Looking forward for you reply,,,Thank you.
Hi Wins, Psoriasis is associated with many diseases not only HIV. Psoriasis is a historical skin disease. Its evidence was found in The Bible and before biblical era but HIV infection was noticed in the USA in 1980. Therefore, association is made now-a days. HIV infected patients can develop various skin diseases' psoriasis is one of them. Chance of psoriasis patient to infected with HIV is same as normal/Healthy person. So, no need to worry Psoriasis is a controllable disease not yet curable. Please visit/consult a dermatologist or search on internet for further information about psoriasis.

Hello friend, Welcome to Chat Doctor .,I read your concern, and you are perfectly normal. There is nothing to worry. Hormonal variations can occur at many times as age advances, there is nothing to be depressed . I suggest you to speak to your husband about your health condition, and he will help you to relax from stressful daily activities. I would suggest you to relax and spend time with family as trip to nearby places to help in control mind and fight against depressions. I would recommend Tablet Fluoxetine at noon time and Tablet clonazepam 2Β mg and citalopram at night after food. This Chat Doctor. Ask help from your consulting physician to help you more before starting on medications. Hope this information is useful. Thanks & Take Care.

Hello doctor,My friend\s sister died of lung cancer at the age of 28 years. No one in their family had lung carcinoma. Now he is afraid of any familial risk and occurrence. He is 30 years old now. Is there any investigation to find whether he is at risk or not?
Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor forum. Lung cancer occurring at 28 years is unusual and he is right to be concerned regarding familial risk. As far as lung cancer is concerned, there is no specific gene or syn ChatDoctor. But studies have shown that if a family member who had lung cancer and was a non-smoker, the risk of lung cancer in them is high. There are genetic tests available which can detect such mutation and their risk of causing lung cancer. But these tests should be done in a patient who had cancer so we can identify the particular mutation. So that the relatives could be tested for the specific mutation. Most widely known mutation in such cases is EGFR (epidermal growth factor receptor), which can cause familial lung cancer. If his sister was tested for this and was negative then there is no further need for testing. So even if we do the test in your friend and find some abnormalities, we will not be sure of their significance. It will only add to the anxiety of your friend. What I would recommend right now is to adopt a healthy lifestyle and avoid known risk factors for lung cancer. As some researchers have shown that family history makes you seven to eight times more prone than a normal person if you continue to smoke. Also, if possible, I would like to see the histopathology report of his sister regarding type. For more information consult a medical oncologist online

Im 26 and my height is 5ft and i weight 130 pounds. Im very concern about my penis sizes cause it looks the same when I went through puberty and it looks like a 12 year old boys penis. When I erect I only get 3 inches, and my testicles are very small. I just wondering if I have a condition?

For the past month to month and a half I get severe dizzy spells, Im nauseous , I go pale my Bp goes up along with my pulse and my eyes do this fluttery thing. They put me on a holter monitor and blood pressure monitor whicChatDoctore back normal. What do you think it could be?
Hello! Welcome and thank you for asking on Chat Doctor! I understand your concern and would explain that your symptoms may be related to an inner ear disorder. A partial epileptic seizure can not be excluded, based on your symptomatology. So I recommend consulting with the ENT specialist and perform a careful physical examination and labyrinthine tests. If the above tests result normal, an EEG would be the next examination to be done. This would exclude possible partial seizures, which could mimic this clinical scenario. Hope to have been helpful!

(1) Its three months after my miscarriage now and really trying to conceive again. I have done all necessary check ups. Is it okay to take only folic acid 5mg per day.(2) Also, I observed m not producing cervical mucous during ovulation since after my miscarriage. Please what can I do to boost the production of fertile cervical mucous during ovulation.
Hello, Yes, folic acid can be taken on a daily basis as a prenatal vitamin. If ovulation status has been achieved on a regular basis and the hormonal profile is normal, there is no need of additional hormonal supplementation. If needed, your doctor may prescribe progesterone supplements to be used during the latter half of the cycle. Checking of tubal patency also is necessary if you do not see any result after at least six months of trying. Hope you find this information useful. Take care.

hi .................i m a 30+ working woman.......for last 3 to 4 months i have severe pain in my back with tingleing effect from neck with little siering in right and left side both hands and legs.....................could u help me plese.my blood reports has rf +. my physician has given me sazo 1000 and HCQS........... two tablets a day.......after taking them for 5 days i still had the pain
Dear patient RA factor positive means you are suffering from rheumatoid arthritis which leads to multiple joint pains especially small joints of hands and feet. Seize contains sulfasalazine which is disease modifying agent, and it takes at least 3 to 4 weeks for its action to start. Till that time painkiller like indomethacin 25 mg thrice a day should be taken with it. Rheumatologist is the best person. Tingling and numbness in upper limbs will be due to nerve compression in the neck and is separate issue from rheumatoid arthritis. MRI of the cervical spine with screening of whole spine needs to be done to confirm diagnosis. Meanwhile, start tab regain x 75 mg one at bedtime for relief. Visit to spine surgeon with MRI report is needed.

Hello, thank you for using Chat Doctor, well if it is less than 24 hours since when you involved in unprotected sex take emergency contraceptive pill asap. Take it's another dose after 12 hours of first dose.if it is already more than 24 hours consult gynecologist and go for IUD insertion. If you get IUD inserted with in 5 days of unprotected sex than there are rare chances of pregnancy...in future if you forget to take pill take it as soon as you remember and continue it in rest of cycle normally.plus for that particular cycle use additional method of contraception like condom.hope this helps you,.

Hello my boyfriend has congestive heart failure and he is peeing very little he also has stomach aches and has a history of drinking alcohol sometimes his sex drive is not there we barely have sex cause of his breathing and he has a history of asthma do you know what can be going on
Hi, A history of congestive heart failure with a recent onset of a decrease in urine volume needs to be evaluated as this can be what we call "Cardio renal syn Chat Doctor. His stomach aches can be related to many factors which may include the liver (as in congestive nephropathy in heart failure) or a problem in the kidneys causing too many levels of toxins not being excreted in the urine (uremia). I would suggest a consult at the Emergency Room to check for his present status, appropriate diagnosis of the present condition, and to check for any co-existing problems, like infections which can further aggravate heart failure, if not treated promptly. This may require hospitalization for observation and definitive treatment. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

I have lower pain on my right side in my back after laying down for a period of time.. Yesterday I had a massage and when I laid on my back for 45 mins I couldn t get up and the pain was so bad it had me throwing up. I notice this when I wake up or try to turn in my sleep that my back locks and I can t move sometimes the pain is so intense I can t lift my leg to step over anything, although after going pee a few times the pain seems to disappear, until the next night.
Hello, I had gone through the case and found that there are many causes of lower back pain. You did not mention the age and duration of pain either acute or chronic. Causes of pain-Herniated discsciaticastrainspinal stenosisarthritisSo go for X-ray of whole spine and get the diagnosis and consult with orthopedic if any serious diagnosis found. If there is strain or sciatica then take rest and do leg exercise under supervision. Hope my answer will be effective for you. Thanks

Hi. I was replacing the used needle of the gluco meter which is being used by my father in law who had a urine infection 3 weeks back. He has been treated for that though is still on some antibiotics. Do I need to do something? I have been by this needle very mildly.
Thank you for the query. Handling of used needle should be done with utmost care (it is considered under Universal precautions). Used needles should never be recapped (which causes the maximum number of pricks). Ideally used needles should be disposed by needle cutters, but these are not always available at home. I would also like to know how deep your prick was (i.e. did you bleed yourself?). Immediately after the prick, you should wash your hands properly with a soap. (do not put the punctured finger in your mouth). If your father-in-law is suffering from any disease which can be transmitted by blood and blood products (hematological transmission), like Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C and HIV, then the need for concern arises. In that case I would advise you to consult your physician. I don't think it will be a need for concern if he is suffering from Urinary tract infection. However, in the future, please use a proper handcar to handle these sharp objects. Hope that helps you.

what could this pain be? my boyfriend has a constant stabbing pain on his right side between the botton of his ribcage and his hip. he says it feels like gas but the pain is really bed. what might this be and should we think about going to emergency?
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your boyfriend s situation and problem. Throbbing pain on right side can be due to pneumonia, pleural effusion or musculoskeletal causes. So better to first rule out lung related causes. So get done chest x-ray. If chest x-ray is normal then no need to worry about lung diseases. Musculoskeletal pain can be the cause for his Throbbing pain. So ask him to avoid heavyweight lifting, strenuous exercise. Avoid movements causing pain and bad postures during sleep. Warm water pad application on affected area is also beneficial in this case. Painkiller and muscle relaxant Chat Doctor. So better to visit emergency room and get done chest x-ray to rule out major lung causes. Hope I have solved your query. Wishing good health to your boyfriend. Thanks.

hi, i am 27 years old woman.working in it company. having more or less healthy food, height 5.1 inch and weight 55 kg. I am having very mild but sharp pin pinch type of chest pain in left side of chest. it lasts for 1-2 seconds some times little more seconds.feeling nurvous . please suggest.
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Left sided chest pain should be evaluated for heart diseases first. So better to get done ECG and 2d echo first. If both are normal then no need to worry about cardiac diseases. Sometimes anemia and vitamin B 12 deficiencies can cause similar kind of pin pinch type of chest pain. So get done hemoglobin estimation and vitamin B 12 level. If deficiency then you need supplements. Don't worry, you will be alright. But first rule out cardiac diseases. Hope I have solved your query. Wish you good health. Thanks.

Just had a sedative filling placed in a tooth that has been sensitive (only seconds of pain, both hot and cold) for a number of weeks after an initial filling and the adjacent tooth being RC. The original filling had too high a bite and was rectified during the RC treatment of the other tooth. The sensitivity seems already to have dissipated but not even 15 minutes after leaving the surgery I was getting electric type feelings down the tooth under the area of filling, similar in sensation to biting on tinfoil. This happens when any form of suction is applied to the tooth. That can be sucking in the area of the tooth or my tongue running by it and creating a mild vacuum. Its not relieved by pain killers. Is this normal? Would a sedative filling react to the amalgam filling abutting it?
Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Read your query. The signs and symptoms mentioned suggests the decay involving the pulp referred as irreversible pulpits. I would advise you to have the tooth be also treatment with root canal treatment, if the pain persists or increases after this. If the pain reduces, then wait and have the tooth filled with amalgam filling. For pain ibuprofen can be taken (if not allergic to any medicine). Hope this was useful. Thanks and regards.

hi, my husband recently underwent a a a opperation he has asthma but before he could control it but it seems now he is getting short of breath from the slightest movement, i,m wondering if when he was in the induced coma that his lungs were affected in some way
HI, thanks for using Chat Doctor It is possible that one of the medications would have caused irritation of the airway, but this should not be long term reaction and would have last normally only a few days. It would be best for him to be assessed by his doctor to determine if the shortness of breath is related to his heart, lungs or possible anemia (low red cell mass). He would need physical examination and investigations. Investigations may include full blood count, chest x-ray, CGI hope this helps

Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Chest pain on bending down is mostly due to musculoskeletal pain. No need to worry about cardiac cause for such pain. So tell your mother to follow these steps for better symptomatic relief in musculoskeletal pain. 1. Avoid movements causing pain. Avoid sudden jerky movements of chest.2. Apply warm water pad on affected areas of chest.3. Take simple painkiller like paracetamol or ibuprofen.4. Avoid heavyweight lifting and strenuous exercise.Don't worry, she will be alright with all these. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further.

Hi dairy understand your concern. Confusion is most likely due to post-operative electrolyte imbalances. Low body temp. Has many etiologies. In post-operative period it is common. It depends upon several factors. Age is the most imp. Correction of electrolyte is must and 1st step.2nd step is looking for other factors. Blood and other investigation will give more idea. Consult your doctor and get help. Still if you have a query then feel free to ask.

Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor . I would suggest you to go for GUI along with closed tablet. GUI is intrauterine ingestion of sperms. So it will help in fertilization. I would suggest you to try for 3 cycles. If 3 cycles fail then I would suggest going for laparoscopic ovarian Chat Doctor. Here 4 to 5 ovarian follicles are ruptured manually. This will help in reducing severity of PCs and also normal egg formation and normalize hormonal imbalance. Hope I have been helpful. Regards

Hi.it is best if you consult with a doctor, preferably a general or an orthopedic surgeon, for clinical evaluation. There are a lot of possibilities including benign cysts, fibrosis or lipomas. Malignant tumor lesions should also be ruled-out. Diagnostics such as x-ray, MRI and a tissue biopsy may also be recommended. Management (medical and/or surgical) will be directed accordingly.

Hello dear, The symptoms can be attributed to pathology in the Vestibular Apparatus in inner ear (it is associated with maintenance of body posture & balance) most probably Labyrinthine or Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo. Symptomatic relief can be obtained with intake of Vestibular sedatives like Betahistine or Linearizing preparations (to be taken only under the guidance of a Physician). So, kindly consult your Physician/ ENT Specialist & get a complete clinical examination done. Investigations like estimation of blood pressure, blood sugar levels, serum electrolytes & vestibular function tests will be required to rule out any pathological cause for the symptoms. There is no need to worry, you will be fine. Till then, maintain adequate HY Chat Doctor. And also take precautions of getting up from bed slowly & avoid sudden head movements. Wishing you a Good Health. Take care.

My daughter has corneliia delange syndrome andhas epilepsy which she has been medicated for since 6 years, she is now 23. Recently a amonia test was done due to very unsettled behaviour which has been going on for at least 18months. I have been backwards and forwards to doctors often during this timre. Hannah becomes very unsettled or very sleepy, refuses food and often fluids I make sure she drinks. When levels were done they were 85 her Epilum was reduced from 1000mg to 500mg morning and 1000mg evenings, tested again and levels had risen more to 93 evening epilum was then reduced to 500mg, howerver she continues to be the same, hand tremmors, loss of appetite, sleepy and or agitated, Im not sur what I should now do, what would you advice
Hi, Thank you for posting your query. I have noted your daughters symptoms. At present, her main symptoms seem to be behavioral changes and aggression. Seizures seem to be under good control. Since she seems to be having side effects from Emilia (sodium valproate), we can stop it altogether. Tremors are also side effects of Emilia. She can be started on oxcarbazepine instead of Emilia. This would take care of seizures as well as mood disorder. I hope my answer helps. Please get back if you have any follow-up queries or if you require any additional information.

Hi, he should keep on taking Stalin if breathing difficulties persist, rather he should meet a physician and get examined physically, X-ray chest should be taken to assess the disease progress, should go for pulmonary function test to diagnose the disease whether COPD is present or not. He should avoid exposure to cold and allergic environment, other medication which reduces respiratory tract inflammation can be taken like montelukast, sodium chomoglycate and even methylprednisolone but all under guidance of a physician. And when the inflammation is received then he can with Chat Doctor. Wish you all the best.

I just developed a pain in upper left chest when I raise my arm over my head or when I lean forward while sitting. It has lasted all day. I do have 3 stents in my coronary arteries. I don t recall doing anything that could have stressed the muscles today or yesterday. Any ideas?
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your situation and problem. Since you already had 3 stents in your coronary arteries, better to first rule out cardiac cause for your left sided chest pain. Chances of stent stenosis is low but can be possible. So better to consult your cardiologist and get done1. ECG2. Coronary angiography if required. If both of the above are normal then no need to worry much for cardiac cause. You might be having simple muscle pain. So take painkiller and muscle relaxant.Don't worry, you will be alright.

Hello! Welcome and thank you for asking on Chat Doctor! Regarding your concern, I would explain that your symptoms seem to be related to Herpes Zoster infection. I recommend performing serology for Herpes Zoster infection. An electroneurography coupled with a spine MRI study would be necessary to exclude nerve and medullary affection. You may need to start Gabapentin or pregabalin for the pain. Based on the physical exam and serology you may need to start antiviral therapy. Hope to have been helpful! Kind regards,

Hi, I do appreciate your concern for your sister. Your sister seems to be stressed out due to not being able to perform as per her own expectation in the exams. As a result, she seems preoccupied regarding the same. Moreover, she is also comparing herself with her brothers which is making the problems worse. I suggest that you seek a psychiatric consultation for her. She would need supportive therapy sessions to help her move on and overcome the stress that she is facing right now. If her symptoms are more distressing, treatment with anti-depressant medications can be considered. I do hope that this information was helpful. Best wishes.

Furthermore, you should continue your AdΓ­lio. Avoid high fatty diet. Go for regular exercise and weight reduction. Take high protein diet. Avoid alcohol. Lifestyle modification is key in NAFLD. Consult your doctor and plan accordingly. Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Wish you a very good health.

Hi my name is maria I recently was in Jefferson hospital in philadelphia n was told I had a liver n kinney mas my biopsy was inconclusive n want to take more biopsy from me. I do have budd carie n was given a shunt in 1997. Since then I feel great my question is could they be mistaken my liver disease with a mass also id like to find a more experienced dr. In philadelphia who is experienced wit my disorder n cancer. Can u pls help? Im sorry to waste your time. I wasn t aware of there was a fee that I regret to say I cant pay at this time. I am overwhelmed with medical bills along all the medical problems going on in my depressed state of mind.. thank you for your precious time.
Hi, Thanks for writing in. Budd Chiara is a condition in which there is thrombosis of veins in the liver. There are 3 forms of the condition such as acute, chronic and fulminant form. As you are doing well after 15 years following shunt, it is likely to be a chronic form. Chronic form is the most common presentation and approximately 50% of patients also have renal impairment. Bud Chiara can rarely be associated with a renal tumor and this might be happening in your case. In most patients with a kidney tumor, doing a surgery with removal of the affected kidney helps. It is possible that the liver and kidney findings in you are associated with Bud Chiara. Please do not worry.

I have missed 2 periods. I am irregular but I have never missed a period entirely. When I was supposed to have my period I have spotting and light cramping. My boyfriend and I use protection only right before he climaxes. Should I take a pregnancy test?
Hello dear, I understand your concern. In my opinion there are various causes for irregular periods:-1)Thyroid abnormalities.2)Polycystic ovarian disease(POD).3)Anemia.4)Overweight or obesity.5)Stress.etc. So I suggest you to consult doctor and get the necessary investigations like ultrasound, thyroid profile done to rule out the above abnormalities. Weight reduction in case of overweight or obesity is most important and helps in regularization of cycles. As you have spotting during the time of expected period and as you are sexually active definitely the pregnancy should be excluded. So I suggest you to consider doing a urine pregnancy test. At the same time cause of irregular periods should be evaluated. Nothing to worry. Hope this helps. Best regards...

Or to consult my doctor again ? Plz help me ..
Hi Welcome to Chat Doctor PCs is multifactorial disorder which leads to an ovulation and infertility. As you are overweight, try to lose weight by diet control and exercise. Get your blood sugar levels done apart from other hormonal investigations. Testing blood sugar levels will give an idea about need to start metformin. Sometimes It may take up to 7-8 days for periods to come after stopping progesterone(Austen). Wait for 2 more days and if period does not come consult your doctor. There are high chances of miscarriages in POD due hormonal imbalance which needs to be taken care of before conceiving. There are other factors also which may lead to miscarriages. Take care.

Hi. I am three weeks post op - laparospic hysterectomy - left one overy. The last couple of days I have had very achy legs especially my thighs. They generally don t hurt in the mornings but get worse during the day. I would appreciate your advise. Could it be low potassium? Many thanks.
Hi, What I feel is there will be changes in the overall metabolism after the hysterectomy and many people have similar complaints. What we advise is to take the oral supplement of Potassium and calcium. Sometimes vitamin D as well. Because of hormonal changes happening within the body there might be a need of additional supplement. Put yourself to aerobic/general exercise to improve the absorption and also try doing exercises for stabilizing the core and pelvic floor. Rest assured you should do well. My mother herself went same surgery and had similar symptoms. But now all good as it was monitored carefully the post surgical management with oral supplements and exercise. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Jay In Chat Doctor.

Hi, I am using Minerva 35 and Ive being having sex every day for the past 5 days, but on the 3rd day I forgot to take my Minerva pill. I took it the following day at the same time as I took the pill for that day....is there any chance I could be pregnant
Hello misunderstand your concernMinvera 35 is contraceptive pill, and it is very effective in preventing the pregnancy (failure rate 0. 5-1 %). As you missed one tablet and took it no next day along with next day pill, the is no chance of pregnancy as it does not decrease the efficacy of contraceptive pill. So there is no chance of pregnancy. Take the remaining tablet on same time every day.(make habit to take on SME time by putting reminder in mobile)Hope this may help you Best regards

Hello! Thanks for putting your query in Chat Doctor. I am a Gastroenterologist.

I have had high bp for 14yrs but on meds for last 3yrs recently had a lot of migraines and headaches caused by hypertension also painful eyeballs and sockets, my bp is 180/100 today but now i have slightly sore lumps below the chin (2) either side , i have had a very painful left leg running from the hip to knee , a painful left arm and chest pain on same side, i have been breathless for a few years although iam not overweight.
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. In my opinion, you should immediately consult doctor to rule out coronary artery disease (CAD) and heart failure. You're all symptoms like left arm pain, left chest pain, breathlessness etc. are commonly seen with CAD. And CAD is common in hypertensive patient. So consult doctor and get done 1. ECG 2. 2d echo3. Stress test (trade mill test) 4. Coronary angiography (if required). Strict control of hypertension is needed. Avoid excessive salt in diet. You will also need other cardiac supportive Chat Doctor. Don't worry, you will be alright, but first diagnose yourself and then start appropriate treatment. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.

My nine and half year old son who is 115 lbs and a little over 4 ft. just started a workout regimine at the ymca. He has had no previous medicial issues o this point. No abdominal issues execpt being born with aherna. During his workout at the ymca he did 2 sets of 30 situps. This was on thursday. Friday afternoon his stomach started to hurt and he started vomitting. He has not been able to keep anything down since then. He struggles to walk around cause of how much his stomach hurts. Is it possible that it is from the muscles in his stomach? I know there is a flu strain going around. Could it be a mixture of both? He has kept water down, but no food.
Hi. Thanks for your query. Read the history of your Son and understood it. A child of nine and half usually do not get muscle cramps, so there has to a definite reason for the pain after workout. You have given a history of hernia, but not mentioned whether it is operated or not. This can be a reason for the pain in abdomen and vomiting. If the hernia is not operated, your son might be getting obstruction in the hernia that is causing the pain. Another reason can be a testicular torsion, as this can easily happen when a child has a congenital hernia. There can be another reason of having either the intra-abdominal lymph nodes or something like appendicitis that has got reactivated and causing the symptoms. I would suggest you the following as your son is just nine and half years old::First get an opinion of the Pediatric Surgeon ASAP. Get blood and urine. Ultrasonography and color Doppler of the scrotum and abdomen. A clinical examination and its correlation with the complaints can give a diagnosis. Till then keep him nil orally. I am sure the diagnosis will be made, and proper treatment instituted urgently. Remember that the child Chat Doctor.

Over the past few weeks I have had some minor stomach discomfort. I always felt hungry and would often feel that way after eating, often for hours at a time. I started to take probiotics and the discomfort has gone - as too the hunger pains. However, as part of that time I felt I often had a stitch like pain just directly below my left bottom rib, about a finger s width under the rib. That too went after I had the probiotics. I ve been feeling ok for the last week or two, however in the last day in the same place where I felt the stitch, I now have the feeling of a bruise - especially when the area is pressed. The area of soreness is only the size of a small coin, however there is no markings of a bruise or a lump. This has gradually become more sore over the last couple of days. Thinking it may be a muscular issue I have used a Voltaren Gel on the area. I am 32, male, non-smoker, non-drinker.
Hello itched,I am glad to hear that you don't smoke or Chat Doctor. If you have had minor stomach issues before, it may be related to acid problems, may be aggravated by ingestion of certain foods like spicy foods, citrus or excess dairy products. Taking probiotics is O.K. That might keep your intestinal bacteria healthy. As for the pain, it is possible to have a pinched nerve in that area of the rib or even as you suspect a muscle sprain that could have happened during some physical activity. Topical pain relieving creams or gels are O.K. I would also suggest some warm water compresses using a wash cloth or a towel few times a day. Wish you well,

I have allergies and my doctor told me I have (not sure the spelling but my best guess is) rosatia. I have never had any facial problems until I lived for 8 months in a house that we found out had black mold. Now I am having a reddish color rash that is very itchy and I have bumps. Cant get it to clear up. What could it be and what can I do?? What is rosatia exactly??
Hi welcome to ChatDoctori had gone through your query and understand your concerns. I would come up with the chance of ROSACEA is the cause for your sufferings. Possible causes include;-it is a multi-causal dermatitis. Many factors precipitate the disease such as-atmospheric influences-exposure to cold, heat,strong sunlight-dietetic errors-excessive consumption of hot and strong tea, coffee-alcohol Chat Doctor.

It sounds like you are developing a cellulitis, which is an infection within the skin. This can be particularly dangerous if it is near the eye. You most likely need strong antibiotics to get control of this right away. Go to emergency or urgent care and get this looked at by a doctor promptly. If there is an actual abscess there, it also may be necessary to Chat Doctor. Antibiotics won't be enough by themselves. So get seen right away and get it taken care of. Hope this helps.

started off with jaw to ear pressure left side,then after that pass my right side jaw hurt few days,but i feel so dizzy,and not well.tingling in my body sometimes i cant even sleep. been to doctors but no clear answer.only thing is dentist i see,and i have infection above my root canal.but we been keeping eye on it one year,he said its ok. but i went oral surgen he say pull out . i dont know my dentist say that will not make me feel dizzy and not well. im confused who to believe
Hi. Welcome to Chat Doctor . I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns. As per your complaint pressure from ear to jaw along with dizziness can be due to inner ear infection leading to the following symptoms of pressure from jaw to ear while tingling sensation in the body can be due to causes like vitamin B 12 deficiencies, peripheral neuropathy etc... As far as extraction of tooth is concerned, it is generally not seen to cause dizziness or any other side effects but is needed to be done only after proper evaluation of the other conditions so that it can be confirmed that you do not have any risk in getting tooth extracted. So my suggestion is to first consult a Physician and get evaluated and a thorough clinical evaluation and investigations like x-ray MRI SCAN and also complete blood picture can help in diagnosis and treatment can be done accordingly. Hope this helps. Regards.

I had my thyroid removed 6 months ago due to hyperthyrodism. I have a history of cardiomegaly, afib, high blood preassure and other arythmias. I am 43 years old, female and my doctors assumed my heart condition was due to my thyroid condition. Ive had a cardioversion done after the surgery and it worked for about a week. I am on Amiadorone 200mg twice a day, Atenolol 50mg once a day, Levothyroxine 137mc once a day. I was on coumadine for 3 months after surgery but not now. After six months my afib has returned with a vengence. I feel like my doctors are taking my age for granted and my concerns are not being taken seriously. When I spend a day doing normal activities I get a night of blood pressure 156/108 and a resting heart rate of 180. I feel like an 80 year old. Please advice.
You need to see you doctor again to discuss increasing the dose of amiodarone or switching to another antiarrhythmic. Unfortunately, it does not sound like it has been completely beneficially for you. I would recommend getting electrophysiologist studies and an ablation. Ablation is for patient that are resistant or refractory to medication. It is a complex procedure. There are also surgical procedures that are very effective and efficient at controlling Fib. You also need to take an aspirin. The bottom line is that your Fib is not controlled appropriately - you need a medication adjustment or some type of intervention. I would also recommend getting your thyroid levels rechecked.

Ear infection is usually due to certain bacteria and can usually be treated effectively with either amoxicillin or azithromycin. If the child is accepting amoxicillin, giving it should be fine. The fever or the ear discharge may last for a few days. No need to worry about it. Also give paracetamol and tepid sponging to reduce the temperature. Alongside, if ear discharge is present, I would prefer administration of some antibiotic ear Chat Doctor. Talk to your doctor about it.

Hello..I am mildly asthmatic and take symbicort twice a day. I am male 59 and 11 stone in weight. For the last two weeks I have developed a tight chest sensation with occasional dry cough. Ventolin and/or symbicort do not make any difference. My peak flow reading consistently registers 610+ (as normal) when chest feels tight and this doesnt change after medication. My chest feels restricted, but I can exercise hard without any problem. The doctor has completed an ecg, blood pressure test and listened to my heart/chest - all is clear. I have a feeling that this could be anxiety, possibly a virus or an allergy to pollen. Please advice. N
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. I don't think, your symptoms are due to worsening of asthma because your peak flow reading is consistently high. So no need to worry about viral infection or pollen allergy. So possibility of stress and anxiety related chest tightness is more. So better to consult psychiatrist and get done counselling sessions. Try to identify stressor in your life and start working on its solution. You may need anxiolytic Chat Doctor. Avoid stress and tension, be relaxed and calm. Don't worry, you will be alright. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.

Good evening, for n few months Ive been feeling tierd and dizzy, my bp is normal, sugar level 4+, but for a week now Im feeling a pulsing inside my stomach, dont think its my heart, its above my bellybutton, and my husband also feel it, can it be linked?
Dear user Pulsations in abdomen near umbilicus is the normal pulsating aorta. In lean and thin persons it is more prominent in pulsation than obese persons in whom it is not felt due to fats. As you say you feel tired and dizzy, it may be due to low hemoglobin level in blood. So you are advised to undergo Full Blood Count test. And start healthy and balanced diet containing iron. And don't touch your belly for feeling the normal pulsating aorta as it will make you more anxious. Thanx for asking.

Hello Dr. Koregol I am a 46 year old female with chronic low blood pressure. I was in an accident several years ago which resulted in permanent nerve damaged (I have been diagnosed with RSD/CRPS) and was on so many meds it was driving me crazy. I don t take any medications for Bp or anything else currently. I have been having aches and pains, headaches lately and really just feeling run down so I decided to take some readings on my BP. It wasn t that low today 109/73, that is after coffee and food. Is everything ok as long as the bottom number is above 60? It has been as low as 52. I have low platelets (hangs out around 90-110k), and low temp (96.5-97) as well. I have learned that this is my normal. But I feel off lately. When should I be concerned? Thanks. T
Hi dear everybody is different what is abnormal for one person is perfectly normal for other number of systems work together in our body to maintain the blood pressure, as because of accident you nerve has been damaged therefore your body finds it difficult to maintain a normal blood pressure, but our body has power of adaptation, slowluy and slowly your body has adapted to the changes caused by nerve damages per your query for a normal person lower blood pressure should be above 60Β mm of Hg but in your case if your body is not having any symptoms like dizziness, feeling of impeding doom, a blood pressure of around 50 is norm alas I said earlier until you are symptomatic to need not worry, any symptom like palpitation, giddiness, feeling of passing out is to be taken seriously, if you feel any problem it should be a matter of concern till the time you are asymptomatic don't worry

Hello, Thanks for writing to Chat Doctor, I am Chat Doctor. Your symptoms of weight gain, fatigue and leg swelling are consistent with thyroid problem, this is usually caused by low levels of thyroid hormones in the body, called hypothyroidism. I would advise you to visit your doctor regarding this problem he might ask you to get some tests like free T3, T4 and TSH levels these tests tell us the function of thyroid gland and levels of thyroid hormones in your body of these are deranged the doctor will get your thyroid medication adjusted and with time you will start feeling better as soon as your thyroid levels get back to normal. If thyroid levels are fine then heart can be looked at by simple echocardiography, heart function can easily be determined and then medication can be started. I hope this answered your question, If you have more queries I am happy to answer you. Regards.

Today when I ran up a ramp, my ankle popped and it immediately swell. I couldn t really bare the pain, but managed to get up and limp. It was fine for a while, but when I walked up the stairs, it popped twice and I was in excruciating pain. The swelling increased. Now, it feels like there is an air bubble in my ankle that will pop at any moment. It is hard for me to walk, especially on stairs. Also, I can barely move my ankle, and it is still swollen. Is my ankle dislocated, fractured, or sprained?
Hello sir, welcome to Chat Doctor I have read your history and I would like to say that you should visit the orthopedic doctors once and for x-ray. It will give u exact idea about fracture, dislocation, or displacement. Some precautions that you have to take at home take proper rest apply pain reliever ointment over the affected part but do not message Ito not move your ankle and do not weight bear on affected limb, it will worsen your condition apply Ice massage over swelling within 24 hours of injury after that move to hot water fomentation twice in a day add salt to hot water bath it will relieve swelling and improve circulating as well as promoting healing thanks think this will help u

Hello doctor,My partner has very tight tendons on the sides of his penis that cause pain with erection. He has attempted to stretch out the tendons, but they go right back, and he is concerned about damaging them. He gets relief from the pain when he presses down on the penis. He has also heard a popping noise. He saw a Urologist today and was told there was nothing wrong. Any suggestions?
Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor forum. During vigorous sexual activity sometimes there is a partial tear of the superficial layer of tunica of corpora cavernosa leading to such description. If he is able to achieve the erection with no ecchymosis, redness or blackening, it is fine. Ask him to share a picture of an erect penis in two directions.

I woke up from a sound sleep with pain in the chest that went into my left arm and then my left leg and arm went numb to the point I had trouble moving. The next morning I was VERY tired and sore. My father has already had several heart attacks and we had genetic heart disease in our family. I have gone to the hospital several time and was told it was Angina. Nothing to worry about. My concern is this time it seemed a little different. Is this also normal for Angina? or could it have been a mild heart attack?
It was angina and nothing to worry about this line seriously raises concern about the consulting Chat Doctor. Angina happens when blood supply to your heart is less than what it needs to work properly so an angina is basically a warning sign that your heart cannot receive the amount of blood which it needs to work properly without losing any time go fore.c.ga 2 d echo cardiographyand treadmill test all these test will be helpful in ruling out if it is angina or any other pain mimicking angina (as radiation to leg is very unlikely)thank you

HiT hanks for using Chat Doctor Shi calm consists of Trifluoperazine andTrihexyphenidyl HY Chat Doctor. Trifluoperazine is a typical antipsychotic and help in controlling psychotic symptoms. Antipsychotics take two weeks to show response and right now she is at basic dose. In that case, just wait for few more days for the response.

I have been suffering with abdominal pain for about a week, I was admitted to hospital where they found a blood filled cyst on my right ovary. That has now gone but i am still having pain on my right side...The hospital have blood tested me to make sure that i didnt have infection in my appendix. I am now starting to get back pain on my left side. Also prior to this a water sample indicaated i had puss cells however this was not picked up on a following sample
HelloPreviously pain was on the right side due to blood filled ovarian cyst, that resolved (according to you). Now pain recurs but on both side (pain in back also on left side) . Such type of pain on both side may be due to these reasons, This includes.1 Poly Cystic Ovarian Disease (pod) . Once again get in ultrasound of both ovaries because recurrence is very common in ovarian cyst, particularly if proper treatment is not taken.2 The next reason of such pain may be due to renal calculus on both side or on one side. So get in ultrasound of both kidneys as well complete urinary tract system.3 The next reason such pain may be due to salpingitis (infection in fallopian tubes) Gynecological examination will rule out the disease. In my opinion consult a surgeon / gynecologist and get their opinion. Hope this information will helps.

I have pain in chest that radiates to my breasts and nipples. I have narrow arteries to the heart st doctor has me on Ranexa which does help my breathing . My nipples have been leaking if insqueze them, a white substance. They also are inverted sometimes. Doctors seem not to worry. Have had uterine cancer, stage 1. Also .3 benign cysts removed over the years on the right breast. Pain in chest could be an angina.
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your situation and problem. In my opinion, we should first rule out cardiac cause for your chest pain because you are having small arteries. So better to get done 1. Ecg2. 2d echo. If both are normal then no need to worry about angina or other cardiac diseases. You are also having nipple discharge. So get done mammography to rule out breastfeeding cyst or abscess as both can cause chest pain. So consult your doctor and discuss all these.

My blood pressure is spiking right now. What can I do to settle it back down? Im not being treated for high BP as its usually 104/74, but I have had 3 times In the last 2 weeks when it has spiked to 144/94. Im feeling that same discomfort again now. How can I bring it back down if I dont have and meds?
Hello! Thank you for asking on Chat Doctor! I understand your concern. Your blood pressure values are not so concerning for an urgent acute therapy. As you have no medications you can try eating garlic and Chat Doctor. It will help. I recommend you to closely monitor your blood pressure (after 15Β min of ceasing any physical activity) for a week. As a doctor, I would recommend consulting with your GP for a careful physical examination, a resting ECG, a chest x-ray and some lab tests (like a routine blood test, kidney and liver function tests, fasting glucose, blood electrolytes, thyroid hormone levels) to exclude secondary causes of high blood pressure. I would also advise some tips for your lifestyle which help reduce blood pressure: - modify your diet : avoid caffeine intake and reduce salt intake-have a lot of physical activity and yoga. - reduce your weight if you are overweight. Hope to have been of help! Best wishes,

The liver is at the upper limits of normal 16.3cm. No discrete focal masses or abnormal echotexture is seen. The gallbladder,spleen,pancreas, and aorta are normal. Common bile duct measures 3mm. no free fluid is seen. Impression: Borderline hepatomegaly.
Hello Report suggests borderline increased size of liver. It may be due to many reasons like infection, medications etc. It is important to know about alcohol intake, obesity. You need few other investigations like routine hologram, random blood sugar, complete liver function, lipid profile etc. It is good that echo texture of liver is normal. Treatment for an enlarged liver depends upon the cause. Other organs like gall bladder, pancreas,spleen and aorta are normal. Take Care Chat Doctor.

hi i think i have an abcess but im unsure, I have a canine tooth in my gum that never came down into line i have had pain in it since yesterday but it has never bothered me before i have just noticed what i think mite be an abcess above the tooth on my gum nearly in line with my nose it is very painful every few hours and brings on temperature and headache
Hello there.....what is your age? The canine tooth usually erupts between 10-13 years.... In erupted cases (impacted) or partially erupted canines, if infected or associated with developmental pathologies.a definitive swelling is seen clinically that extends from the base of your nostril to the side of the nose (obliteration of the nasolabial fold), if the erupting tooth is found locally... If erupting palatially the swelling is seen over the palate....if the cystic lesion is very large then it is shown locally as well as palatially....what exactly did you mean by abscess??? Abscess is something that is filled with pus....do you see any fluctuant swelling or any kind of discharge? If so it surely requires intervention... Fever is the first sign of defense the body exhibits during the inflammation or infection process... Get yourself evaluated from your dental surgeon for clinical examination and management....

I am experiencing my left side lower lip shivering every now and then from 2 days. It just happens for a second and then goes off. I had problem in chewing food and now its gone. I have started with some fat burners recenly and am worried what would be the reason. Kindly suggest
Hello! Thank you for asking on Chat Doctor ! Your symptoms could be related to anxiety or an electrolyte imbalance. I would not exclude an irritation of the facial nerve too (facial spasms). Anyway, I agree with you that the fat burners can contribute to your symptoms, considering the fact that they may cause a lot of changes in your metabolism, electrolytes and even increase irritability and anxiety. If the problem persists, I would first recommend stopping these substances. If this tip does not help, consulting with your doctor and performing some tests (including blood electrolytes) will be necessary. Hope you will find this answer helpful! Kind regards,

Dr Syamasis Bandyopadhyay stopped all the medicine prescribed by chennai Apollo hospital.Now for long 6 months he is taking the medicines prescribed by Dr Syamasis Bandyopadhyay the medicine are tablet Pantocid it,Minipres-xl 5mg ,wysolone 2.5mg tablet cetapin xr 500 ,amaryl 2mg,nexito 5mg ,stamlo 2.5mg, tablet folvite,p650,lonazep 0.5mg.He also has a eye problem on right eye cataract,and glaucoma and the medicine for eye is gatilox eye drop, homarin forte eye drop, prednisolone acetate eye drop ,combigan eye drop.Now my Dad cant stand without the help of Walker nor he can stand by his own without our help even he has to do toilet on the bed.

So Sir Please do help us by providing the best treatment to make our father move and make him healthy and get rid from the fainting problem your advice is highly appreciated thanking you your sincearly from Anirban dey I answer your health queries right now ? Please type your query here...
Welcome to Chat Doctor, your question refers to multiple problems faced by your father. But, the most important problem, it seems, are the fainting spells, what he is facing. The most common problem faced with diabetic patients is definitely hypoglycemic episodes. Another causative factor, what comes to my mind, is some sort of arrhythmia. I would suggest you to go for continuous blood glucose monitoring as well as holder monitoring. Both can be done at home .hope this helps to find a cause for his problem.

Hello, You may have an allergic reaction or swelling from an infection. Try some anti-inflammatory medication such as ibuprofen or acetaminophen. The antihistamine, Ben Chat Doctor. Try to decide if there are any triggers to this condition. If suffering from an allergy, think of any new foods or dental products you may have tried recently. Stop these products and see if you have relief. Have you started any new medications that may cause a reaction? Look for any insect bites. Eliminate any new cosmetics or lotions. Try to see if you can locate a tooth that might be a source. Is there a bubble on the gum associated with the swelling? Any sensitivity with your teeth? A dental exam would be helpful to make a correct diagnosis. Monitor your symptoms and report them to your dentist. A broken or infected tooth may be the source of the swelling, or you may have an impacted wisdom tooth. See immediate care if the condition worsens. You may require a prescription antibiotic. A thorough diagnosis will determine the best treatment for your condition. Thank you for your inquiry. I hope you find some relief and your condition improves.

hello, i am 44 and have one fallopian tube due to ectopic in the past i have been with prsent husband 13 years and have been pregnant once but miscarried we desperately want achild of our own. i had my period 3rd january but didnt ovulate till 4th of feb had intercourse on the 3rd of feb and getting negative preg tests but still have not had period i wondered if u could help
Cellophane you for your query. At 44, please consult an IVF specialist. You need to have your ovarian reserve (capacity of ovaries to produce mature eggs) tested. Also, you need to have assessment of the one fallopian tube that should be intact for conception. Your husbands' semen analysis also should be done. Trying naturally at 44 with only one tube is not going to be very productive. You might strongly consider possibility of ART (artificial reproductive technologies) to aid you. Take care.

I have had burning sensation in the throat ( in the upper pharunx area) for 10 days. It started with a sore throat and I was given Amoxicillin. The pain went away but the burning is there and is more severe even after 10 days of Antbiotics. Burning radiates to the left ear with occasional pain( not continious). I have GERD and TMJ. Can this be a symptom of throat cancer?
Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. Burning sensation in throat with pain for 10 days Carnot due to throat cancer most likely. It is due to some upper respiratory tract infection. You should take a course of antibiotics like azithromycin and anti histamines like chlorpheneremine. Consult your doctor and take treatment accordingly. Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Wish you a very good health.

hi doctor!I am, an indian man aged 35, leading a happy married life for last 12 years.I used to get sexual intercourse 2-3 time a week. every thing was normal.but for last one month I am facing premature ejaculation ( 2-3 min. after penetration).it is happening again and again. Is it a physical problem?It is ruining my married life.
Hello, Usually premature ejaculation related to anxiety issue particularly performance anxiety. You can try masturbation one hour before sex. You can practice yoga and meditation early in morning. If anxiety is the issue than fluoxetine also can be prescribed. Master and Johnson start and stop technique can be beneficial. You can learn it after sexologist consultation. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

I had an ectopic pregnancy at May09,2011 which my right fallopian tube was removed. When is the right time for me to get pregnant again and how can I avoid the risk of ectopic pregnancy again?
Hi! Thanks for choosing Chat Doctor .com. Post A Ectopic gestation, the outlook for future pregnancies depends on several factors, especially whether the other Fallopian tube is patent and also that side ovary is normally ovulating. As a general guide, after one ectopic pregnancy, 20 per cent of women will experience another ectopic pregnancy, 30 per cent will not become pregnant again and 50 per cent will have a successful pregnancy inside the womb. Best to start conceive is wait for a cycle or two for Chat Doctor levels to Chat Doctor. Take care.

I was sitting at my desk and my heart started beating really hard and I became short of breathe. I had been sitting at my desk for some time. I am a 29 year old health female. Any thoughts on what this could be? Do I need to see a doctor? I am under a lot of stress so I am wondering if that is the cause.
HI, thanks for using Chat Doctor Abnormal heart beats or palpitations can have different causes. Examples of possible causes are: (1) heart disease(2)high levels of thyroid hormone(3)anxiety(4)anemia(5)caffeine(6)infections(7)hormonal diseases(8)lung diseasesSince the symptoms occurs while you were at rest (sitting at your desk) then it is less likely to be heart disease. If you are under stress, then anxiety is a possibility but if they re-occur you may still want to consider visiting your doctor for an assessment. This would likely include an ECG. I hope this helps

hello! my name is ben. my friend recently felt sick and when she checked the doctor, He found that she had Water in her Lungs. the doctor first sucked the water then begun a series of tests..but nothing was found.. she is currently taking tuberculosis drugs but I am afraid that the drugs have started to affect other organs. let me give the lists of the drugs she is taking and you will tell me what I should do.
Welcome to Chat Doctor! I have gown through your question carefully and from my clinical experience I can say that most common cause of fluid in pleural space, if nothing else is found, is considered to be because of tuberculosis. So, in a way the doctors are doing the appropriate thing by giving her anti TB treatment. It is advisable to start the treatment early in such cases, prolonging it may lead to sticking/ fibrosis in pleural space/ lung. You are right that these Chat Doctor.
