HELLO THERE, THERE SO MANY OPINIONS REGARDING CALCIUM THE I FEEL THAT MOST DOCTORS ARE WORKING FOR COMPANIES AND NOT GIVING AN HONEST ANSWER TO THE CALCIUM QUESTION. I BROKE MY HIP 1 1/2 YEARS AGO AND HAVE HAD THERAPY FOR THE LAST FOUR MONTHS OF WHICH I AM VERY GRATEFUL. I NOW WALK WITHOUT A LIMP/ I HAVE BEEN TAKING E-ZORB FOR ABOUT EIGHT MONTHS NOW AND WONDERING IF THIS IS THE PROPER THING TO DO? THE DOCTORS AT KAISER CA WANTED ME TO BE ON FASOMAX. I SAID NO. WHAT S YOUR OPINION?

Hi doctor,Over a year we are trying for a baby. But, my wife is not getting pregnant. She underwent thyroid test also and the result was negative. I think the issue is with me. So what to do? While having sex my semen leaks out early and it does not stay for long. Do I need to take any medicine? Please suggest.
|
Hello. If you have been trying for last one year and not conceived yet then a semen analysis is necessary, which should evaluate the sperm count and morphology. If the results are normal, then your wife can be further evaluated with an ultrasound pelvis and a hormonal profile to rule out PCOS or any organic causes of uterus like endometriosis or polyp. So, please get a review with semen analysis report, as medicines can be started later on if needed. Take care.

Hi, my dad is a heavy smoker. He is 69 years old. When he has a coughing fit, he isnt able to take a breath in. So hell bang on his chest until he can. Yesterday, he had another coughing fit, only this time he started to shake, or little jerks. Mom said his name, but he didnt respond, so she yelled it, and then he responded. I should also tell you that he is obese as well.
|
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Chronic smokers are more prone for bronchitis (inflammation of airways). Bronchitis causes bronchospasm and this in turn causes cough, chest tightness breathlessness etc. So consult pulmonologist and get done clinical examination of respiratory system and PFT (Pulmonary Function Test).PFT will not only diagnose bronchitis, but it will also tell you about severity of the disease and treatment is based on severity only. He will need inhaled bronchodilators (formoterol or albuterol) and inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) (budesonide or fluticasone). He should quit smoking as soon as possible. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your father. Thanks.

My gums is swollen behind my front teeth (not the direct front teeth, but the two to the side of the very front), is there anything I can do or is it something that has to be treated by a dentist? It s been like that for about two weeks and feels as if it s getting larger. There is no pain. I ve flossed to ensure there was nothing between the teeth and tried extra cleaning for the last two weeks, but it seems to be getting worse.
|
Hello and Welcome to Chat Doctor, Thanks for writing to us. For this, you should go along to a dentists' office. He will take an X-ray to confirm what's happening, and probably give you some tooth abscess antibiotics to settle the gum infection down. Gums will heal. For faster healing of gums to take place, you can do warm saline rinses 3-4 times a day and can also message your gums. Avoid any kind of irritation to the gums. You can also use a gum paint for faster healing to occur. Better visit your dentist for evaluation. For some pain relief, you can apply travel over the site. Hope this helps you. Wishing you good health... Regards.

Dear Doctor, I need your kind advice and for following issue of mine. Following is my shorty summary of treatment. I belongs to Allahabad, during my study days around 21 year ago I was suffered from seizures and approached to Nuro Specialist in Allahabad. After Head Xray and EEG Doctor start giving me AED Tageratol 300 mg but Seizure not fully controlled later on he changed the medicine to Phenytal 30 mg - 3 tablets a day. When again seizure not fully recovered he advice Contrast CT SCAN Brain and reports diagnose me with neurocysticercosis, then Doctor advice me 2 Tab Albendazole for 3 months every morning along with Eption 100 Mg - 3 Tablets in night after 3 months Doctor advice to stop taking Tab Albendazole and keep continue Eption 100 Mg - 3 Tablets in night. Later on after 3 years [Seizure Free] I shifted to Delhi but Eption 100 mg - 3 Tablets continue taking in night. Then I have contact to another Nurologist in Delhi, he again advice the CT Scan and reports were normal hence he advised to reduced the Eption gradually by 3 Tablets to 2 Tablets and I continue taking 2 Tablets of Eption 100 mg then after 1 year Tablet reduced to 1 Tablet [Seizure Free]. Later on again after 2 years I shifted to Mumbai due to my service transfer but now I continue the Eption 100 Mg - 1 Tablet every night. Since I am living seizure free from past 18 years apx and having much active life (Doing Driving 100 Km a day, Swimming, Horse Riding ,Rock Climbing etc, also taking Hard Drinks twice in week ), but still taking Eption 100 Mg - 1 Tablet every night , hence to stop medicine again I contact to Nuro Specialist in Mumbai he gone through my medical history and and advice Test, after according to latest MRI / SCAN reports , which are normal, Doctor me to stop taking Eption 100 MG One Tablet straightaway. So regarding this I need your suggestion and opinion. Now almost 10 days passed , since I stopped taking one Tablet of Eption 100 Mg, and feeling comfortable but little bit worrying seizure recurrence and and feeling headche. Is any chance of recurrence of fits after stoping medicine, why am having slight headache .

Hello Mohit SharmaWelcome to Chat Doctor As per guidelines usually after a single episode or in some cases two episodes of seizures, patient is advised to take AED's. As you were also having Neurocysticercosis which was the cause of your seizure, and you had finished the treatment of Neurocysticercosis also. Following which you took phenytoin 300 mg. per day, and presently you are seizure free for about 17-18 years. Usually AED Chat Doctor.

I have a large prostate (age 58) about 55 cm3 volume with a hypoechoic nodule size 0.7cm in the periphery. My Psa is 1.04 and ratio is o.23. Please let me know the problem. I don t have many symptoms except prolonged urination in the morning. Thank you
|
Hi, I have gone through your query. For your age, enlarged prostate is very common, and it is called Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Since your PSA level is under the normal range, there is nothing to worry about. It is a gradual process and later prostate will grow in size leading to incomplete urination due to pressure on urethra. So, it is better to consult a urologist for medicines which slows down the process. You can contact me on my page http://bit.ly/ Chat Doctor.

Hi, I have one miscarriage and i had a DNC as well. I am trying to conceive again after 1 year , but results are negative. I am follwowing up a Gyane. She did my folicar studies and found that i am not ovulating naturally. Next month she gave me CLOFERT and did the folicular studies. I did ovulate but again no results. Now she gave me Asmita tabs and next moth i will be on CLOFERT again. I want to know will there medicines harm me or i am going on the right way.
|
Hi. Since you had conceived once, your chances to conceive again is very high. Not ovulating once, could be incidental. Hope you had some basic blood test to rule out causes for that abortion. Like Blood sugars, Serum Thyroid profile. You can also get your tubal patency tested(the track where the Sperm & Egg meet-which unfortunately is not seen on Scan)Can be tested with HSG (X-ray with dye) or SSG (Scan with dye) or Laparoscopy. These medicines will not harm you or your Bacall the Best Chat Doctor.

hi, i have regular cycle every month this month due to low iron level i got my periods only for 2 days(usually 3days normal next 3days very mild like spotting total 6 day) and my iron level is 6 micg/dl,shall i continue to plan for pregnancy this month(lmp 21-02-14) and i am very much afride to conceive because of low iron level my first prg was missed abortion second was caesarian boy baby 4 yrs now planing for second baby
|
Hi and thank you so much for this query. I will no advice that you plan to conceive with a very low iron level. What is your hemoglobin level? This is more indicative than simple iron levels. As you plan to conceive, it is always a nice idea to get consulted for preconception counseling and get a prescription for vitamins that would make sure the chances of your child to develop an abnormality are greatly reduced. What is the cause of persistent low levels of iron? You should get evaluated and managed fully to stop worrying of this all the times you have to talk about pregnancy. In itself, it is good to have a good iron store and hemoglobin levels. Thanks and wish you well. Hope this helps.

Hello and welcome thanks for your query. I shall make an effort to provide you with good professional recommendations specific to your questions. Based on the information provided by you, it appears to be a case of STI (sexually transmitted infection)or some allergy to some substance that you might have come in contact with or inflammation due to injury during sex. You can soothe irritated skin with a cool soak. Water can wash away any remaining allergens and help inflamed tissues to shrink back to their normal size. Wearing breathable fabrics like cotton might also be helpful, as the inflamed skin might need to breathe in order to heal. You can apply any over the counter penis health cream. Itching over other areas can be ad Chat Doctor.

Hi, I had bronchitis a few weeks ago and was coughing pretty bad. My chest started hurting and I was able to alleviate the symptons somewhat with Ben Gay. The chest pain was most pronounced on my right side. My bronchitis has gotten better but not my chest, it still hurts. What should I do? I am 39, and weigh 110, and recently suffered a miscarriage

Hi welcome to Chat Doctor... You have not mentioned whether you have taken any Chat Doctor. ... You have bronchitis ... It can be viral or bacterial cause....CBC done ... If shows lymphocytes then viral otherwise if necrophilia then bacterial... Take Aeroflot like antibiotic for 5 days... Usually flu take sometime to recover fully... Maintain healthy and balanced diet... Steam inhalation useful.... If congestive symptoms still present then antihistamines like Ben

Basically, i have a tight foreskin. When i pull back,i can see 35% of the glans. But, I see the inner layer of foreskin is stuck at the gland and cant be pulled down further. Im uncircumcised and I thought uncircumcised male should have flexible and movable skin on the shaft. The skin of my shaft is kinda tight because of the inner layer of foreskin stuck on the glans I think. Help Please..
|
HelloThanks for your query, based on the facts that you have posted it appears that you have what is called as Mitosis, Please consult qualified general Surgeon or Urologist for clinical examination to confirm the diagnosis. You need to get circumcised. This is a simple surgery done under local anesthesia as an out patient procedure and offers permanent cure. This will help you to have enjoyable sexual life in the future. Chat Doctor.

My teeth and gums hurt after i eat on the right side of my mouth. The dentist checked me when i had my cleaning and said maybe it was a si us infection or a netve was infected. If it is not a sinus infection i will need a root canaldoes this make sense. I am 66 years old and i see the doctor on Wednesday.
|
Hiwelcome to ChatDoctoras you mentioned your teeth and gums hurts after you eat indicates periodontitis i.e. inflammation of periodontal ligament along with pocket formation and treatment of that is good scaling along with curettage. According to your doctor, it could be sinus or root canal infection and to clarify that you need to have OPG X-ray done which will reveal status of your situation. If you can consult another dentist.

|
Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor, Thalassemia (that) is a blood related disorder. It is of two types- that beta and that alpha. Depending on the severity of the disease, it is trait, minor or major. Heamoglobin molecule is made up of two pairs protein chain called - alpha and beta. A decrease or absence of any one of these two pairs causes alpha or beta chains. So, in your case there is involvement of beta chain. If the beta chain is completely absent, it is called that beta major. If the chain is present but in lower quantity it is called that trait or that minor. The trait is first detected at the age of 34 years in your case. It was not symptomatic during your childhood and adolescence, so there is nothing to worry. Hemoglobin level is also marginally low, so nothing practically needs to be done. Thanks and take care Chat Doctor.

Can being aneamic affect your teeth? Ive got a constant pain in my teeth that stops me from eating and drinking and even breathing in through my mouth. It feels like my teeth are extremely sensitive and im sick of taking painkiller because they dnt help.
|
Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Read your query. Anaemia as such will not cause any pain in the teeth. The sensitivity can be because of gingivitis or abrasion or many other reasons related to teeth You can try using a desensitizing toothpaste (sensory) and use the mouth wash for a while. Visit a local dentist and get your teeth cleaned (must do)and also check all your teeth whether any tooth is causing the pain and do what is necessary. Hope this was beneficial. Thanks and regards.

Hello Fairbanks for writing to Chat Doctor, I have studied your case, As per your investigation reports, there seem to be large compression to spinal cord.

I was just advised that i have at level c5and c6 a 5 mm left paracentrl/ intraforaminal disk protrusion with annular tear, causing moderate left neural foraminal narrowing with probable impingement on the existing left c6 nerve root. I have had severe left arm and hand pain for two weeks. I am going to see a surgeon, i have had surgery on lower back in the past, will this require surgery?
|
Hard to say if it will REQUIRE surgery since my usual recommendation to patients in this situation is that they go through either PHYSICAL or AROMATHERAPY to see if the nerve can be released or treated conservatively before embarking upon surgery. However, your question cannot be properly answered without examining you neurologically and seeing where things such as sensation, strength, and mobility are with respect to what we would expect from the GOOD SIDE, make sense?

|
Hi, Nice to hear that you had ovulation with those injections. When you are stimulated with hormones you get multiple follicles. Especially when you have POD, you may produce 5-10 follicles at a time. All these may not rupture, only biggest of these would have ruptured. The remaining unruptured follicles stay on for some time & keep producing hormones & it may affect your cycle & hence may affect follicular output of next cycle. By using contraceptive pills doctor is suppressing those unwanted hormones, suppressing those unruptured follicles & after this suppression next cycle when stimulation is done you will get better & healthier follicles. This is called Hormonal Down-regulation. All the best Chat Doctor.

Hello doctor,I am a male and I am 30-years-old male. I have a mitral valve problem, and it is moderate mitral stenosis. What remedy do you advise? If I did the valvoplasty surgery will there be any other problem? If there is a problem, is there a possibility to do the valvoplasty again? I am afraid. Please relieve my tension. The left atrium is 46 mm. I am currently on Spiromide 20 mg and Tinormin 50 mg daily once. Please help me.
|
Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor forum. There are specific criteria for surgery in case of mitral valve stenosis. Surgery does not resolve the problem and you may have to stay on anticoagulation therapy for your entire life. It can help improve your physical performance and avoid pulmonary edema (shortness of breath during physical exertion). Anyway, as you have mild mitral valve stenosis, I would recommend anticoagulation therapy and follow up with your cardiologist with a cardiac ultrasound every six months. Hope this would be helpful for you. For more information consult a cardiologist online

Hi I am a 32 year old female and my doctor recently found a pea sized lump in both breasts: at 7 oclock on the right and 5 oclock on the left. My gyn has always told me my breasts were fibrocystic, but these are much more defined lumps than ever before. I have had an ultra sound done, whicChatDoctore back inconclusive. I have an appointment with a breast surgeon tomorrow for an evaluation. I am very anxious! So I ve been reading around the message boards trying to ease my mind. Some of the things I read seem to suggest that having one on both sides may indicate something, but it wasn t clear what. My breasts are also sore, but not necessarily near the lumps. I have a child. I have an IUD , which has stopped my menstrual cycle all together for about 5 years. I drink a lot of coffee. My maternal grandmother had breast cancer , but it did not originate there. My mother had a biopsy for a lump and was told it was calcification . Should I be worried? Thanks for your time, Andrea
|
Hi, you have diagnosed as bilateral fibrotic disease of breast which is periodically related to hormonal influences from the menstrual cycle sometimes. Usually no adverse side effects to this condition, but cancerous tumors may be more difficult to detect in women with fibrotic changes. As you have mentioned your positive family history of breast cancer you at high risk. I suggest you to undergo biopsy to rule out cancer!!!!

|
Hi, Increased heart rate & palpitations can have a lot of causes. It can be normal sinus tachycardia due to anxiety or stress, or it could be abnormal supra ventricular tachycardia. For the diagnosis, you need to do ECG at the time of palpitation & tachycardia. If the duration of palpitations are short enough to reach a nearby hospital, we put a 24hr ECG monitoring (Holder Monitor). You also need to do a 2D Echo & thyroid function test to see for any associated abnormality if any.

Hello doctor,I am having a revision rhinoplasty and it is going to be under sedation and local anestheia but I am very scared. I asked the doctor about it since I read that during sedation you are awake but he said under sedation, patients are asleep and they feel nothing. However I never tried it and I am really scared, I want to know what i.v sedation is exactly and is the patient put to sleep if the patient is actually asleep then what is the difference between sedation and general anestheia?
|
Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor forum. During general, anesthesia patients put in a deep sleep like state. Even respiration of the patient also under control of the machine. The patient cannot remember about surgery during the procedure. It may associate with little complications. Local anesthesia is blocking the area the part undergoing surgery. The patient may be awake. He may feel the movement of the body procedure. But if they use intravenous sedative or ketamine patient may go for a short sleep during the procedure. I think I answered your question if you have more questions feel free to ask.

My husband has had atherosclerotic heart disease and PAD for 28 years. He has lost a leg, and had triple bi pass, need quad but not parts, two blocked again. He has great pain when walking very short distance in both legs. Has had two strokes. He looks ashen. Cardiologist wants us to see 3 different dr. to treat, sleep apnea, legs, and dizziness. Kidney function 50% No one will give me a straight answer on life expectancy, what to expect. No one dr. treats whole disease. Help
|
No one will give you a straight answer because there isn't one. When you add up the problems described an expected survival might be quite short. On the other hand, you would have gotten the same answer 28 years ago when his problem was first discovered. When problems become multiple and complex, our guesses get too fuzzy to give you an honest answer. Your cardiologists' advice seems quite sound. Even treating sleep apnea. It seems so minor but may have a profound impact.

Hello dairy understand your concerns be relaxed, there is no chance of the pregnancy. Sperm can not transport through the clothes in the vagina. Fingering also does not cause pregnancy. Main thing is that, you also got the period. In presence of period, pregnancy is not possible as missed period is the definite sign of the pregnancy. Overheating of face is also not related to pregnancy. Your symptoms could be due to anxiety, hormonal imbalance, thyroid dysfunction, infection. Avoid stress, take healthy diet, Chat Doctor.

i got a serious hit in the face and for a few dats i have this lump by my eyes thats hard the eye is not swollen byt the lump has my face looking funny i am suppose to leave the country on friday is there anything i can do to help it go down faster
|
Hi ! Good evening. I am Chat Doctor answering your query. With the history of trauma, possibly the lump near your eyes is a hematoma (collection of blood) due to the hit. This might take at least three weeks for it to get absorbed by the tissues. If it does not, then you might have to consult a general surgeon to rule out any chances of a continuing accumulation of blood, or an organized hematoma, which might require some kind of intervention. The hematoma might reduce with aspiration and a pressure bandage for the present, but one can not rule out recurrent accumulation of blood in it. Therefore, it would be better not to do any invasive procedure on it without any definite medical indication. I would rather suggest you to get it clinically examined by a general surgeon in your area for proper management. 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. Wishing you an early recovery. Chat Doctor.

Instead of omeprazole go for Omeprazole and Risperidone. Avoid spicy foods, outside foods. Eat plenty of fresh fruits and green leafy vegetables. Stop smoking and alcohol if you are taking them. Please get an upper GI endoscopy. A small cancerous lesion if at all present will be seen by this procedure. Get this test done and be relieved. Hope it will come normal.

My dad of 75 years old was diagnosed with Pancreatic Cancer in early January of this year. The docs say its inoperable and hes too weak for chemo. They done the nerve block and help his pain some but that didnt last but maybe a few days. My dad has lost so much weight, will not hardly eat anything. He sleeps alot now and has on several occasions became totally confused and out of it......the last two days hes been coughing up blood, on first diagnosis the docs gave him a few months to live......I guess my question is, by him now coughing up blood, is this a sign that death is near?
|
Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. Your dad has pancreatic cancer, and it is inoperable, so it must be terminal stage cancer. Coughing of blood is common, and it is not a good sign. His prognosis is poor, and life expectancy is not good. Sorry to say but it is fact. No treatment should be given for pancreatic cancer. Morphine or other painkiller or nerve block can be given for symptomatic pain relief. Hope I have answered your question, if you have any doubts then contact me at bit.ly/ Chat Doctor. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Wish you a very good health.

Slipped on ice today and hit the back of my head, had a headache for a bit but Ibuprofen solved the pain. The problem is my neck seems to hurt. My thoughts are that when I strained to hold my head up from crashing to the ground I stretched those muscles.
|
Hi, For my patients I recommend icing it for the first 48 hrs, massaging with topical gels containing muscle relaxants 2 to 3 times per day, physiotherapy and yoga or relaxation and avoidance of any vigorous movements will be effective for your case if not I suggest CT and MRI on cervical vertebrae to exclude any kind of fissures or nerve compressions. Please consider some positive feedback if the information was helpful. Hope the above information helps you. Any further clarifications feel free to ask. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

well about 30 years ago I was exposed to toxic chemicals including Benzene when I was in the service at Camp Lejeune N.C., now when I get checked by the doctor for DOT physicals I always have blood in my urine moderate levels, back in 2008 an mri was done due to back pain and for the most part my spine was pretty good, but a small cyst was discovered in my right kidney, do cysts go away? because it is still showing up on an ultrasound I had done last month, and the constant blood in my urine does worry me, the VA tells me that it is nothing big to worry about that my blood work is pretty normal, and no biopsy has ever been done on the cyst.
|
Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor.You're worried about your blood in the urine and a small cyst in the right kidney. Small, simple cysts are often found on ultrasound scan in the kidney. If they don't change in size or give rise to any symptoms like pain, etc, you don't need to worry. They don't need a biopsy either. When they become complicated cysts, they need treatment. Blood in the urine is not normal. It needs to be checked up and source of blood has to be found out. You must see a Urologist, who will advise examine you, blood tests, ultrasound scan, and then advice you on further treatment.

dear sir,recently i was effected with acute filariasis with 780 absolute eosinophil count and left upper limb lymphadenopathy,i started diethylecarbazine treatment for 3 weeks 150 mg twice daily,after 22 days my complete blood picture there is 14790 total white blood count,eosinophils count reduced,neutrophils number raised also even now also iam getting small rashes and disappearing very fast.is it normal condition.
|
His did review your condition. Sometimes heavy infection with any parasite when treated leads to massive release of parasitic antigens and causes the reaction which you have been experiencing, It is generally short-lived and goes away quickly. They would rarely harm you. However, I would recommend you to consult a local doctor and get treated if they are causing you a lot of distress. If not, they are just a passing by reaction, and you will most likely soon feel better hope this help swish you a very healthy life ahead.

hi,Iam having stomach discomfort and burning sensation for last two weeks.Occassionally I have loose tools too.Last week blood test show an increase in SGOT and SGPT(51 and 151 respectively).Other liver function tests were normal(total protien-6.6,albumin-4.3,globulin-2.3 , A/G ratio-1.8,alkaline phosphatase-95).what can be the possible causes of this elevation.
|
HelloIncreased SGPT may indicate liver injury. It may be due to many reasons like hepatitis, alcohol intake, altered lipid profile, medicines,autoimmune causes etc. You may need few more investigations like routine hologram, viral markers, ultrasound of abdomen. I suggest tablet ursodeoxycholic acid 300 mg twice daily for three months to my patients. It helps in regeneration of liver cells. You may need to take more medicines after complete investigations. Avoid alcohol if you take it. Get well soon. Take Care Chat Doctor.

Hi, I was referred to a cardiologist due to chest pains and numbness in my left arm. I had an Echocardiogram and a Bubble Study Echocardiogram done which showed that I have PFO. The cardiologist now wants to do a stress echo. Is this common? What would this show? Lately I am very fatigued and short of breath. I just want to get to the bottom of this. Are they on the right track? What options are there so I can start feeling better? I am only 37 years old and exercise all of the time. I just want my quality of life back. Thank you in advance for your assistance.
|
Hereafter going through the details provided by you, I would like to tell you that STRESS ECHO is mainly done to rule out myocardial ischemia during increased work load in our day-to-day activities, and it has nothing to do with PFO. The symptoms which you are having could be due to reduced blood supply to heart muscle and to rule out that STRESS ECHO will be done as this issue can also give you a feel of tiredness, shortness of breath and fatigue all time. Kind Regards Chat Doctor.

Hi doctor,I am suffering from diarrhea for the past one year. I consulted a doctor, and I did an endoscopy, colonoscopy, and biopsy. I got to know about chronic ileitis and chronic duodenitis. The doctor gave me VSL#3, Doxil 100, and Folvite tablets. I am taking these medicines for 15 days. But I do not have any relief. I am worried. Please help me.
|
Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor forum. I have gone through the attachment (attachment removed to protect patient identity). You had done endoscopy and colonoscopy for diarrhea. If there are no features of inflammatory bowel disease and if the biopsy report does not show features of gluten enteropathy, then there can be a possibility of having irritable bowel syn ChatDoctor. You do not have chronic diarrhea because chronic diarrhea is always associated with weight loss and malnutrition. I would suggest you take Rifaximin 200 mg twice daily and revert me after a week.

Hello doctor,My 8 weeks ultrasound showed an irregular gestational sack. It is mostly round but sort of pointed in one location. What does this mean?Fetal pole 158, measuring 8 weeks and 1 day gestational age. Please explain.
|
Hi. If fetal cardiac activity is present and pregnancy is 8 weeks on ultrasound. If you do not have any pain or bleeding per vaginal than there is more chance that with medicines pregnancy has more chance for growth. Irregular gestational sac sometimes can be due to uterine contraction which can be present throughout pregnancy. If this is the case then there is more chance that pregnancy is good and there is more chance for growth. One more reason of irregular sac is also a sign of early abortion. But we can do only these things. Do take complete bed rest. Do minimum activity. Take small frequent meals. Take micronized Progesterone for 2 to 4 times a day 200 mg, Folic acid tablet, and Thiamine or multivitamin tablet. All these will be helpful for growing pregnancy. And repeat ultrasound after 10 to 15 days. Do ChatDoctor.

Two weeks ago I started suffering after exercise with extreme breathless episodes, which hasn t stopped. It happens every time I do physical exertion/exercise. I have more problem getting breath out rather than allowing breath to get in, and now I ve started coughing during the attacks too. It s also happened today while not physically exerting myself but around smoke. When it happens I feel like somethings irritating my airways and it feels really uncomfortable, almost like someones squeezing or tightening my chest/lungs. My doctor took pretty much one look at me and said it was anxiety and put it down to depression and placed me on 20mg Fluoxetine, but I really don t think it is, and think it s asthma or something else and I just need a second opinion.
|
Hi. I can understand your concern. It is mostly asthma. Asthma is most common allergic disease which is not a curable disease but definitely controllable, by controlling the same you can lead a symptom free life. Usually presents with cough, wheezing, difficulty breathing and chest tightness. If not treated appropriately can be life-threatening. So better to consult pulmonologist and get done clinical examination of respiratory system and PFT (Pulmonary Function Test). PFT is needed for the diagnosis. It will also tell you about severity of the disease and treatment is based on severity only. You may need inhaled bronchodilators and inhaled corticosteroid (ICS)Don't worry, you will be alright. Hope I have solved your query. Wish you good health. Thanks.

Hello! Lately I have had problems with numbness of the right side of my body while I am sitting. When I cross my legs or even when I prop them up, my right leg will start to tingle and go numb from hip to toes. My right arm from shoulder to fingertips has also been going numb for no particular reason. My clothes fit well, they are not too tight. I have never been diagnosed with a circulation problem, but my family does have a history of various heart problems. Is there a cause for concern or is it something I can ignore?
|
Hello, welcome to Chat Doctor. It is rare to circulation problem in whole right side of body without affecting left side. With circulation only numbness is very uncommon symptoms. It presents with other symptoms also like: cold extremities, gangrene and decrease hairs on affected part. Cause of your problem may be physical or psychological in origin. In your case following are possible causes of numbness, in hierarchy:-Stress or Anxiety disorder: Anxiety disorders can manifest not only with psychological symptoms but with a variety of physical symptoms also like: Tingling, numbness, hot and cold sensations, pain complaints and muscle spasm etc.-Vitamin deficiency.-Substance use-Neuropathy.-Combination of above causes take healthy diet and do some relaxation exercise. Get evaluated by psychiatrist and general physician to rule out above causes of your suffering. Wish you good health and all the best. Chat Doctor. 99doctor.com

Even though I have this on both sides it normally is on the left side only with no discomfort on the right. The left lower rib seems to protrude out. I have had lots of tests with no resolve.This is going on for a number of years. Recently I had a bout of Artrial Fibrillation but I had this problem long before this. I am 52, 6 feet 6 ins. and weigh 17 stone. I would love to get some relief from this. Yours Sinserly Trevor Ireland

I ate some mushrooms and it seems to have caused an allergic reaction, breathing difficulty, wheezing, swollen face, hands and lips, loss of feeling in upper lip, itching of body. I am feeling better after taking an allergy tablet, drinking water and throwing up. My hands are still swollen and hurt my face isn t normal yet. I have a 7 year old, she doesn t eat mushrooms but I didn t want to take the chance of driving o the er. Question-what should I do?
|
Hello, Thank you for asking at Chat Doctor. I went through your history and would like to make suggestions for you as follows:1. From your symptoms, respiratory symptoms, urticaria and swellings (angioedema), I would first think of anaphylaxis reaction to mushrooms. So I would suggest you to consult an Allergist-Immunologist who will ask your symptoms in very much detail, including what, apart from mushrooms, did you consume before development of symptoms, each and everything. After detailed history taking, an Allergist-Immunologist may prescribe you allergy testing. These are important steps to confirm cause of anaphylaxis.2. Anaphylaxis, in simple language, is a serious allergic reaction. Unfortunately not too many tests are available to confirm its diagnosis. So it is best diagnosed by detailed history and supportive investigations.3. If you are allergic to mushrooms, the best option in my opinion is avoidance of mushrooms in the future.4. As you have still swollen hands, I would suggest you an antihistamine like chlorpheniramine for 3-5 days. Please note that it may cause sedation.5. Such food allergies are usually not hereditary. So I would not suggest to worry from your daughters side if she has not had any reactions to mushrooms.6. For you also, please avoid mushrooms till you visit an Allergist-Immunologist and diagnosis of allergy/anaphylaxis is confirmed/ruled out. Further, plan will depend upon your diagnosis. Hope above suggestions will be helpful to you. Should you have any further query, please feel free to ask at Chat Doctor. Wish you the best of the health ahead. Thank you & Regards.

Hi welcome to Chat Doctor forum. Thanks for asking a question to Chat Doctor. F. You have got pain during the period and have brown discharge, You feel bloated, gassy and constipated. The pain appears to be due to anemia, urinary tract infection, or pelvic inflammation. I advise you to consult a gynecologist for diagnosis and treatment.

Hi.it is best if you consult with a doctor, preferably a general surgeon in regard to your concern. It may be any of the following benign breast lesions: cystic, fibroid or fibrotic changes. Other tumor types, such as malignancy, must also be ruled-out. Clinical evaluation is best. Diagnostics (such as breast ultrasound and/or mammography, tissue biopsy) may be recommended. Management (medical and/or surgical) will be directed accordingly. Hope this helps. Good day!!~ Chat Doctor.

My mothers blood pressure is 188 over 87 and she is on multiple blood pressure medications. She is also have a lot of fluid build up with this. When she moves around her blood pressure seems to keep going up so she has to stay still. I dont know what to tell her. I told her I would take her to the ER but she doesnt want to go.
|
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. In my opinion, your mother is having hypertensive heart failure. She is having uncontrolled blood pressure. She is also having fluid retention and rise in blood pressure on exertion. So all these favor heart failure due to uncontrolled hypertension. So better to consult cardiologist and get done blood pressure monitoring, ECG, 2d echo. She will need diuretic Chat Doctor.

I am experiencing loose stool also.I got MRI also and findings are that i am suffering from lumber spondy losis with degenerative disc disease and multilevel disc bulge with right para central disc protrusion at L4-L5 causing right lateral recess steno-sis and narrowing of the neutral foramina bilaterally with ligamentum flavum adding to the compressive effect. I am attending physiotherapy treatment but with little relief.Should I continue to walk in acute pain? If so please suggest distance.Should I continue medicine? If so which one is good. Should I believe that there is no cure further and I have to suffer with this pain in my rest of life.? Please help me.

Hi, Sari sushi Keisha, Thanks for query. You have got multiple problems in your spinal canal giving you so much pain. These problems make treatment too difficult. There one option is surgery and whether it is possible or not can be decided by spine specialist. Consult spine specialist and seek his advice. Avoid more walking as it may give pressure on the prolapsed disc producing more problems. You can do your routine work. Go for physiotherapy as advised by your doctor. Take pain reliever as and when required. Ok and bye.

Husband has rectal cAncer stage 4 spread to the liver and one lymphnode but their not completely sure its in the node. He has tumors in both lobes of the liver although they are very small. Has done folfiri chemo with no results just completed 11 rounds folfox but cant continue folfox because of neropothy. All tumors shrunk drastically with chemo. My question is what type of chemo would they try next for him? Is there chance he can be operable?
|
Hi and welcome to Chat Doctor, thank you for your query.it is very rarely curable, but his life can be prolonged by certain treatment modalities. Foxfire is the only efficient chemo for colon cancer, and it is good sign that it was effective. Operability of his liver lesions should be evaluated by surgeon, and it depends on several factors. If there is involvement of both lobes it still can be operable if there is no infiltration of major liver vessels. He may try to do chemo embolization too and then surgery after it if tumors are small enough for safe resection. Wish you good health. Regards.

Hi, Thanks for asking. Based on your query, my opinion is as follows.1. Creatine kinase level can be elevated in any sort of muscle injury. 2. It is possibly not cardiac, as you would have a massive heart attack, if it were to be elevated.3. From skeletal muscle, possible exercise or injury could be the cause. Further details necessary for further opinion. Hope it helps. Any further queries, happy to help again.

Hello doctor,I have a problem with my skin for a long time where my acne is mild but It gets worse really often and makes things worse. I have a natural redness which does not seem to reduce. I have dry skin that can be sensitive to a lot of things. Currently, I am using Dr Organic Manuka Honey Cleanser, Olay moisturizer and to take my makeup off I use coconut oil.I recently came off a contraceptive pill about two months ago where my skin cleared up on one cheek but over the weekend my skin just went terribly bad. In the past to try and reduce my redness, I have used aloe vera, vitamin A, and some over-the-counter creams.For my acne, I have practically tried everything like over-the-counter creams, acne-clearing products, and organic stuff. Nothing has worked. This is taking a toll on my mental health and I want to sort everything out.
|
Hello. You are still in your teenage and acne is a common problem in this age group with frequent exacerbations due to any sort of mental or physical stress. Sometimes even periods exacerbate this and stress like exam or job tension. Moreover, you have been using various topical agents and you might have got contact dermatitis with all of these. You need to understand the nature of your problem first and try to relax first. My advice is to avoid cosmetics as much as you can. Use Brevoxyl (Benzoyl Peroxide Topical) Cream only at the time only on lesions in very little amount. Do not spread on the whole face. For more information consult a dermatologist online Take care.

Hi doctor,I am a female weighing 65 kg and my height is 5\6". A 20 mm follicle found on day five of menstruation, what does it mean? I had cramp since day four till day six. Last month 5.7 mm hemorrhagic cyst was found on left ovary during day three but this month it got disappeared and now 20 mm follicle found on right ovary. Please help me to understand what exactly is this. Is this normal to find such a large follicle on day five? Actually I would like to get pregnant. Please help.
|
Hello. I have read and understood your problem. Are your periods regular? Thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) , prolactin, hemoglobin (Hb), total count (TC), differential count (DC) levels and cancer antigen (CA125) are all normal. Ultrasound of pelvis suggests follicular cyst which is an unruptured follicle from the previous cycle and will disappear. It means there is a problem with ovulation, follicle is maturing but not rupturing. Revert back with the information to an obstetrician and gynaecologist online Take care.

I had back surgery in 2009 on my L3 L4 for a herniated disk. I am now experiencing the same pain again only slightly lower. I have had an MRI and xrays, done PT, gone to a Chiropractor and most recently was put on a 2 week dosage of Prednisone. The pain in the back is tolerable but not the severe pain down the whole right leg. It takes my breath away. It is at it s worse as soon as I get up in the morning and again in the evening. I have a prescription for hydrocodone but do not like taking this for any length of time. This has been going on for almost a year now and is getting worse. I have been taking steroids for many years (approx 20 mg per day) for Addisons Disease. I also have the start of Osteprosis (sp?). Any advise would be greatly appreciated.
|
Your MRI will give me a clue about what has to be done. If there is recurrence of same problem or disc bulge at other level or pain due to facet arthropathy, do consult a pain physician for some interventional treatment like nucleoplasm, angioplasty, Radiofrequency ablation etc. It is nonsurgical, day care and cost-effective procedures. As you need to take steroids for Addison, osteoporosis is their side effect. You can prevent it by using calcium, It D3 along with bisphosphates like Ben Chat Doctor. Meet your pain physician for detailed advice and treatment

|
Degree understand your concerns went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. After reading the description, I do not see anything wrong in your genital area. You are just 22 and worrying too much about your sexual life. Why? What do you know about sex, sexual organs and sexual problems and diseases related to sex organs? I don't think you know anything? That is why you are worried. In that You should find a physician for proper investigation, if you really feel there is something wrong. Unnecessary worrying about sexual future should give you sleepless nights, anxiety, stress and erectile dysfunction in the future. Leave these things to the physician and once he tells that you are alright, leave all these negative thoughts, and concentrate on your career and studies. Or Please post a direct question to me in this website. Make sure that you include every minute details possible. I shall prescribe some sexology related psychotherapy techniques which should help you cure your condition further. Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications. Good luck.

Hi doctor,How to conceive faster? Is AF Kit advisable to use?
|
Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor forum. AF Kit is used for vaginal discharge and fungal infection. If taken by both partners, it will cure you of such symptoms and also treat PID (pelvic inflammatory disease). It is good to take this treatment as you are trying to conceive. To conceive faster, try having sexual intercourse during your ovulation days, which are roughly from 9th to 22nd day in a 30-day cycle.

Hello. I have mild scoliosis in 2 parts of my back that was just diagnosed and I am age 49 (done bearing children and have had a hysterectomy). My dr. has me on 4 tabs of (300/30) Tylenol 3 1 time a day. I also have back spasms. The tylenol 3 does not seem to work and I have to take more and more and I am concerned b/c of the high dose of tylenol. I used to take Vicodin and I would take 1-2 a day and I was fine. Am I stepping backward by asking my dr. to prescribe me less of a higher dose vs. more of a lesser dose of pain med. I have tried tramadol, meloxicam, you name it. The codeine is really what seems to make the difference so that I can get through the day without being in terrible pain and having to stop and put on heating pad for an hour. Any recommendations of a pain reliever that has codeine but you don t have to take in super high doses and doesn t contain dangerous amounts of tylenol?
|
Hi. For back spasms I suggest a muscle relaxant for example Flexion MRT answer your specific question u can take Canada.However, I should warn you u should not take it for more than 3 days continuously as it can cause addictionsAlso since Flexion MR does have PCM don't take the 2 together. If Flexion is unavailable try LoraineSuggested dosage:1 tab of Flexion MR in the morning1 tab of Canada at night

Hello doctor,My mom is a glaucoma patient for the last 10 years. She has been on medications like eye drops including Azopt, Ganfort, Alphagan, Vigamox, and prior to them Cosopt (which did not suit her). She has gone through retina eye laser and also has been injected in both her eyes almost 22 times for retinal leakage as well, has also gone through cataract eye surgery 16 years ago. At the moment her eye pressure remains between 21 to 24. The doctor says implants are necessary as she can see very less now. Given her eye condition is sensitive, a doctor has suggested that it is best to operate her with Ahmed valve implant, however, it has its own risks. I wanted to know if it is better to try the latest option, called MIGS (minimally invasive glaucoma surgery) like Xen Gel Stent and InnFocus Microshunt as it has near to no complications. I want to get an opinion about this before thinking about Ahmed valve.
|
Hello. I am very sorry to hear about your mother\s eyes. I suspect that she must have undergone the retina laser and the injections for a condition called as diabetic retinopathy. I feel that most likely it is a complication of diabetic retinopathy that might have caused a high pressure in her eyes. Xen gel stent is currently FDA approved for refractory glaucoma not caused by diabetic neovascularization and Inn focus micro shunt is currently being tested for long term side effects and usefulness in such situations. I must be clear in letting you know that neovascular glaucoma is a very adamant disease to treat and the treatment may not be straightforward and may require multiple procedures and reviews with the treating doctor, yet the most often agreed upon surgery, across most hospitals in the world is currently Ahmed glaucoma valve, along with of course the laser and injections. In case you need further clarification or if your mother is not a diabetic, please send a scanned copy of all her doctors records and prescriptions. I will do my best in helping you understand the situation. Take care.

I had an asthma attack (wheezing and all) after running in track when I was 16. It was embarresing. Still going untreadted. Ive always been afraid to exercise really hard after that. After that I took an aerobics class and almost passed out on the way home. Since then cause I started sleeping alot a doctor diagnosed me with narcolepsy cause I couldnt really stay awake unless I was at work. I dont think I have that anymore as Im not on medicine and seem to better regulate my issues. I think its all astma related. A doc gave me an inhaler to use before exercise, it didnt seem to help me much as I still rarely get the energy I need to exercise. My question is---- Can all of these symptoms be related to Asthma????????????????
|
HI, thanks for using Chat Doctor Asthma would not affect your energy to start exercising, it would potentially cause an asthma attack during the exercise. Fatigue would not normally occur in asthma unless you were having persistent wheezing episodes that were not resolving and in this way the persistent inflammation was causing fatigue. The episodes would be associated with chest pain, shortness of breath, coughing and wheezing. There are tests that can check your lung function and definitely determine if you are asthma e.g. pulmonary function testing. You can speak to your doctor about this possibility but based on the above asthma is not the likely cause of your symptoms. I hope this helps

Hallow Dear, Many times when any intrauterine device is inserted, for first few weeks, may be till the first menses, the uterus tries to contract in attempt to expel it as a reaction to the foreign body causing cramps in the abdomen. These cramps can be managed by some anti-spasmodic painkillers. However, after the first menses, these cramps stop or may be become very mild. However, you are having severe cramps leading even to the excessive watering of the mouth and Chat Doctor. It is likely that the device has got infected. This will cause severe pain in abdomen. Maybe you are having some foul smelling vaginal discharge (either you might not have noticed it or it may start later). If you have no infection, may be that the uterus is not accepting the device and is continuously trying to expel it by forceful uterine contractions. In either case, the device has to be removed. In such case, you may better switch over to different type of reliable birth control method like contraceptive pills and/or condom. Please report to your Gynecologist ASAP.

Hello, First, Diabetes and hypertension can cause neurological symptoms such as peripheral neuropathy, so your father needs strict control of blood glucose by healthy food and medical treatment. The salt and fat intake should decrease, besides the medical treatment of hypertension. Second, the magnet gait and incontinence mean that your father has Normal-pressure HY Chat Doctor. So, your father should do a CT Brain to confirm the diagnosis. The treatment of NPH is mainly surgical treatment. The neurosurgeon put a shunt to

Hi.based from your description, it could be folliculitis. This usually occurs after shaving or when a hair is accidentally pulled out, and it gets infected. It could also be a cyst, or an inflammatory reaction which is starting to form an abscess. A consult with your gynecologist is best for clinical evaluation.

Hello, Cough and cold are viral 95% of the times in child Chat Doctor. For cold, you can use anti-allergics like cetirizine and for nose block, saline nasal decongestants will do. Paracetamol can be given in the dose of 15Β mg/kg/dose (max ceiling dose 500Β mg) every 4-6th hourly, that too only if fever is more than 100F. I suggest not using combination medicines for fever, especially with Paracetamol. For cold, you can use Cetirizine at 0.25Β mg/kg/dose every 12 hourly for 3 days. For nasal block, plain saline nasal

Hello! Welcome and thank you for asking on Chat Doctor! I understand your concern and would explain that your symptoms could be related to a metabolic disorder (anemia, thyroid dysfunction, electrolyte imbalance, etc.) or an infection. For this reason, I would recommend consulting with your attending physician and performing some tests: - a chest X-ray study-complete blood count for anemia-blood electrolytes- PCR, ESR for inflammation- thyroid hormone levels for thyroid dysfunction- a cardiac ultrasound to examine your heart function and structure. If all the above tests result normal, I would recommend performing an ambulatory 24-48 hours ECG monitoring to investigate for cardiac arrhythmia. Meanwhile, I would recommend you to closely monitor your blood pressure values. Hope you will find this answer helpful! Wishing good health,

My 2-year old son has loose discharge,and it is often diarrhea-like. Today, for instance, it was soupy loose and orange. He has not eaten foods that typically result in this color. His doctor believes he is allergic to milk, so we have avoided all milk products. The poor little guy tries to go to the bathroom on the toilet, but has released his load before getting there! Any ideas?
|
Hi, It seems your kid is having viral diarrhea. Once it starts it will take 5-7 days to completely get better. Unless the kids having low urine output or very dull or excessively sleepy or blood in motion or green bilious vomiting. You need not worry. There is no need to use antibiotics unless there is blood in the motion. Antibiotics might worsen if unnecessarily used causing antibiotic-associated diarrhea. I suggest you use zinc supplements (Z&D Chat Doctor.

Hi. Thanks for elucidate history. Continue your medicines of hypertension as before. The commonest cause for feeling tired, sweating on the face, and pain in stomach can be gastroenteritis with septicemia. Get a course of an antibiotic and this may help you fully. Get investigated only if there is no relief. With this sort of problem it is possible that you have to get your blood pressure monitored well as it may change Chat Doctor. As pain in abdomen due to gastroenteritis can cause alteration of the electrolyte balance and thus change in cardiac status.

Hello,, thank you. My question is the patient in my case study has an asthama attack. He has cold extremities, .increasingly dyspneic. Heart rate increases to 125/bpm pulsus paradoxus increases to 30mm Hg. respiratory rate up to 35/min. breathing becomes more labored wheezing is loud throughout expiratory and inspiratory cycle. signs of early cyanosis become evident. No longer alert . ABG are 7.35, PaO2 = 45mm Hg and PaCO2=42mm Hg(40% oxygen by mask) What does this suggest?
|
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. The patient in question is having very severe asthma attack. Asthma causes bronchospasm. In this patient, due to severe bronchospasm, he is not taking enough oxygen. So he has to breathe rapidly. Bronchospasm is the cause for his wheezing. In ABG (arterial blood gas) analysis report, his oxygen saturation is very low. And this is the reason for early cyanosis (bluish discoloration if skin). If not treated promptly, this patient will go into respiratory failure with full-blown cyanosis and ultimately death. So he needs mechanical ventilation, inhaled bronchodilator and injectable steroids. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.

Is this related to the swelling and the body trying to release all of the built up fluid? She is on 2 diuretics.

Hello, As she has undergone knee replacement surgery, post-discharge there needs to be measured taken for having medicine which is described to avoid infection and pain. Due to infection, there may be chances of having fluid discharge and antibiotics are advised. Diuretics may have been given to avoid swelling and that is common. If her vitals are stable then there is nothing to worry. You can start the simple exercises like knee range of motion exercises, static Qua Chat Doctor.

Hi, Thanks for posting your query. Do you have fever/ chest pain/ breathlessness? There may be possibilities of upper respiratory tract infection or cough variant asthma. You should consult with internal medicine specialist and should go for thorough check up. You should go for chest x-ray, complete hologram and ESR. Cough may also be due to gastroesophageal reflux disease. You should continue Prilosec and also take cough suppressants. You should also go for endoscopy.

Hey thanks for your faith in the Chat Doctor.I have gone through your question and understood your problem. Normal fertility is associated with sperm counts >48 million/mL, motility >63 %, exhibiting normal morphology >13 %. It is very difficult to say without read of exact report. However, normal sperm counts is important for fertility, so also motility. In my opinion either upload all detail reports of SEMEN analysis or consult an INFERTILITY specialist and get his opinion.

Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. She has vaginitis with HI influenza and strep. She has already used 10 different antibiotics and not responding to treatment.

I know why LDL is so high cause I was eating lots of fry food everyday now I have quit eating fry food. Now I eat apple and carrot everyday, can please any other food I should eat? I dont want to take a pill and every other reports are fine.Thank you.
|
Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor, HDL levels of 53 is desirable. HDL is good cholesterol and its level above 40 is good for health thus you do not need to reduce it. LDL is the bad cholesterol and its level should be below 100 mg/DL.LDL level up to 244 is quite high and not good for health.Lifestyle modifications are required to reduce LDL levels. Regular exercise, fresh fruits, fresh vegetables, high fiber diet, less fatty foods, plenty of fluids are the basic lifestyle modifications which will help to reduced LDL levels. However, consultation with a cardiologist is required. If the lifestyle modifications are not able to reduced LDL levels, medication may have to be started after a month of trial of lifestyle modifications alone. However, lifestyle modifications have to be continues even after taking medication. Thanks and take care Chat Doctor.

hi child aged abt 2.5 months is having cough n cold for the last 3 days. we visited a doctor today and he recommended Asthalin inhaler for my child. Is it safe to use the same? and why do he suggested asthalin inhaler at this early stage? is my child having a serious problem?
|
Your doctor might have detected some wheezing in the chest. It often occurs during an episode of cough and cold. It is generally caused due to certain viral infections and is self limiting, resolving in 5-7 days. Furthermore, it is unlikely to be serious but nevertheless needs medical supervision. Stalin is a bronchodilator and must have been given to relieve wheezing. It is safe to be given to a child of 2 months and is recommended for relief of bronchospasm which causes wheezing.

my left cheek has been swollen for two years now with mild nerve pain and the pain seems to be getting worse. Also a lump in the inside of my mouth and the skin lining feels really rough. I have been tested for all allergies and hade a biopsy done for melkesson Rosenthal and nothing. This swelling is not going away and no test is revelling anything. also went to the dentist , took X-rays and nothing. had a mri and revealed a small sinus infection but nothing major. HOPE YOU CAN HELP..
|
Hi, Dear,Welcome with your query to Chat Doctor. Studied your query in full depth of its details. Reviewed it in context of your health concerns. Based On the facts, You mostly seem to suffer from-left maxillary sinusitis with intramural hard palate swelling with it. The MRI confirms this sinus infection. Seems that you have nasal obstruction for quite some time more than 2 yrs of your cheek swelling. This has lead to the nerve pains due to the periapical areas of the upper jaw teeth, which is increasing lately. Other causes of such a lump could be Maxillary sinus poly / adenocarcinoma/ or periapical abscesses with periapical radiolucencies/nasal obstructions with cellulitis of the maxillary bones. Intra-oral protrusion in the hard palate-gives lump in the mouth in your case. Treatment--Treatment with Antihistamines +Anti-inflammatory +Antibiotics for 5-7 days is supplemented to recover the tissue edema prior to surgery.- Caldwell Luck Surgical Chat Doctor.

I have a rash that keeps spreading to other parts of my body and I have tried so many different creams and washes and nothing is stopping the itch, pain, burning, redness, oozing of this rash. I work outside and may have been exposed to a poisonous plant. I wear heavy work clothes and sweat a lot which irritates the rash further. Taking a shower is very painful to the rash.

Hello, Thanks for the query to Chat Doctor. Forum. As you mentioned in your query all these symptoms may be due to. 1 Contact dermatitis with poisonous material as you mentioned in your query. Diagnosis can be confirmed with the help of biopsy of the blistering rashes by a dermatologist. 2 Memphis vulgarism may be due to antidermal antibodies inducing blistering skin disease. Get in blood for c b c & e s r (if very high may be the cause). Consult a dermatologist and get his opinion. 3 Scabies this also causes rash (mild) with itching and pus formation. Diagnosis can be confirmed by dermatologist with physical examination as well as clinical history. In my opinion consult a dermatologist and get his help. Good luck.

About 6 weeks ago while sitting at work, my pulse started racing, about 120 beats per minute with mild chest pressure. I had the same experience again later that night. I went to the doctor the next morning. She did an EKG, gave me nitro and baby asprin, shoved an IV in my arm and sent me to the ER by ambulance. No heart attack. The symtoms continued and I ended up in the ER again a few days later. I saw a cardiologist - EKG showed an abnormal T-wave. Two weeks later I did a stress test - All good, no heart problems, EKG back to normal. I wore an event monitor for two weeks and recorded several events. From the monitor the cardiologist saw my pulse raise from 110 to 120, resting. She said that since the heart rythum was normal, she was not worried and discharged me from her care. I had a doctor order me Xanex to rule out panic attact. By the way, my chest x-rays were clear, all blood work normal - nothing out of normal other than high cholesterol. At my last visit with the cardiologist, my blood pressure was high 150/99. Now, the racing heart has subsided, but the chest pressure is almost constant. Per doctor s orders, I am checking my blood pressure two times a day - morning and night. It has been high (130+/95+) in the morning and (150+/100+) at night. My primary care gave me something for heartburn - after a week, no change, not better. I haven t felt good for 6 weeks. I know my body is telling me something is wrong. I just don t know where to go from here.
|
You are in a common predicament. Many problems cause chest discomfort. There are only a few causes that pose an urgent threat to life. You have had testing that looks for those causes. Having found nothing, you can be reassured on no emergency but that doesn't help the sensation go away. The blood pressure is not too disconcerting. Other considerations include musculoskeletal problems (sometimes hard to find), the esophagus (there's more to it than heartburn) and irritation of the lining outside the heart. The best thing is to return to your primary doctor if symptoms persisted. She can help pursue these other possibilities.

Hi. Welcome to Chat Doctor. As you mentioned you have problem of tender flap after filling a restoration that may be because of infection or trauma or other reasons. Final diagnosis can occur after clinical examination of oral cavity. Painkiller can use for pain relief. Maintain proper hygiene of oral cavity. Avoid trauma by using soft brush. Topical anesthetic gel helpful. Consult your dentist again for further treatment. I hope this will help you. Get well soon. Thank you.

I have had a ct scan that showed white spots in my lungs, I have had a lung biopsy that shows it is not cancerous, they sent me to a exotic infection specialist. they ordered all types of test one was even for aids. I have been with my GF for 4 years and am very healthy and young. are white spots a symptom of aids? also I have a huge anxiety about AIDs i take an anti anxiety medication due to my fear of aids. is this just non sence?
|
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your situation and problem. White spots on CT scan of lungs suggest possibility of following conditions. 1. Tuberculosis 2. Fungal infection 3. Bronchopneumonia 4. Cancer etc. Since your biopsy report is negative for cancer, possibility of infection is more likely. And HIV testing is part of screening for infectious disease. So no need to worry about HIV testing. Better to consult pulmonologist and get done broncos copy and BAD (bronchoalveolar lavage) analysis for the diagnosis of infection.

hip problems:hi doctor, im 17 and i weigh 63kg and am 175cm high. so, about 3 years ago i started to have pains in my right hip, first it was small, so i ignored it and continued practicing ryhtmic gymnastics, but as time went on it grew worse and worse, that year i had a big competition so i kinda ignored the pain. after the competition i stopped practicing and it was better, but when i started again it started hurt again. i went to the doctor and had a series of examinations - had an x-ray, but nothing was wrong with the bones, an ultrasound - again nothing wrong,then i had fizotheraphy, but it didnt help much, after that i went on another ultrasound, from an expert and it showed i had hernia so i had an op. but they found out it was a benign tumor- lipomas,the op went without problems. they also found out i had a torn muscle and sore muscle right next to it-all this on my right hip. so i masaged and stopped practicing ryhtmic gymnastics, but the pain still didnt go away it changed - its periodical-right before my period i start to have pain not in the hip - in the front- like before but still on the right side but in the back. and if i move to much it spreads through my leg, and my muscles get really weak. im wondering what could possibly be the cause of this? Could this be psychological? or could it be connected to my monthly period?

Hi. Thanks for your query and an elucidated history. This is a very good question:The Treatment and side effects of Hernia:You have a history of pain in the right hip area, practicing Gymnastics, lipoma removed, Hernia not found on operation, Tore and sore muscle found. If the pain is periodical and just before the menstrual cycle this can be Endometriosis, or the swelling gets enhanced due to PMS- Premenstrual Syn Chat Doctor. You may have to get the tender area operated and get well.

Hi, i want to now if it is safe to take an injection to avoid pregnancy for over an year
|
HI, thanks for using Chat Doctor You may be referring to the demo proverb injection. Yes, this can be safely used for a year, some persons use it for longer. Many women who use this form of contraception would notice that they may experience reduced or no menstrual bleeding during this time. There may be some episodes of breakthrough bleeding which is occasional spotting, but this tends to resolve as the medication is continued. When you decide you wish to conceive you can discontinue the medications and your cycles would return. I hope this helps

hello, one of my cousin suffering from hole in heart and he offenly becomes sick as fever and he cannot walk play and he is studing in 8th standard so the doctors suggest for surgery and this people from madkeri karnataka living as farmers so they could not bear cost of surgery so can any body suggest ayurvedic medicines without surgery
|
Hello, I would strictly suggest you not to go against the doctor advice of surgery as in such cases it may become impossible to perform surgery in later stages as there are irreversible changes in the heart which will make surgery very high risk and sometimes impossible in such cases. No Ayurveda medication will cure it. The state and central Government does not charge at all for such surgery in many specific hospitals. Please do find the nearest hospital in this context. Satya SAI Hospital in Karnataka is another such hospital which provides free treatment for cardiac patients. Regards

My husband is in year 5 of congestive heart failure with a defib/pacemaker. His BNP test came back 2407 and had a paracentisis done on 12/28 with still distention on left side. His ultra sound shows moderate live enlargement and left kidney slightly enlargered. I am very concerned and am trying to get a prognosis.
|
Hello, Congestive heart failure patients may develop liver enlargement. This is called congestive hepatomegaly common in heart failure patients. But left kidney enlargement may be due to infection or stone. Until etiology known it is difficult to treat. Please consult with your cardiologist he will examine and treat you accordingly. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care

hey doc, i got all four of my wisdom teeth taken out yesterday at 11:00 am...used proper gauzes ..did not do anything to disturb the clotting process...this morning i woke up with an abnormal blood blister going from the extraction site over the next two teeth...it is very large and does not look normal at all...my oral surgeons office is closed...and he still hasnt returned my called
|
Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Read your query. Dislogdement of the clot in anyone or more socket can be the cause for the presence of blood clot. Relax and if there is no more bleeding from the socket. If there is bleeding keep a gauze and bite firmly to stop the bleeding. Follow the post extraction instruction properly. Avoid vigorous gargling though continue with the salt water gargling. Do not use straw for a while and use a soft diet. Continue with medicines as prescribed. Hope this was useful. Thanks and regards.

Hi I am 49 year old female, recently I ve developed a rash around my collar bone area. Also a couple of weeks ago I got a rash on my back from below my shoulder down to mid back but it doesn t hurt or itch nor is it red. Few questions: 1. Back rash I tend to think it may have something to do with using a rubber mate to workout, I started to cover the mate with a towel and it seemed to have dried up but I still have the rash and it feels a little like needles. 2. My collar bone rash itches. I went to the doctor yesterday and she didn t seem to be to worried about it. She thinks it has to do with jewelry, but i haven t used anything different and I rarely wear necklaces in the summer do to heat. Oh forgot to mention my doctor prescribed an ointment (Fluocinonide 0.05 cream 60GM 3. I have been under a lot of stress lately I recently loss my mom and that has been difficult for me. I do get a little concern with shingles, because my mom got shingles before she passed and I was exposed. Do I need to be concern about the rashes I have?
|
Hi, Do not worry. It may be satyriasis tricolor.also called Tina tricolor. It does not itch or hurt. Furthermore, it is symptomless. However, consult the dermatologist for the perfect diagnosis and proper treatment. I would recommend you to apply antifungal cream like ketoconazole cream and to take ketoconazole tablets for few weeks. Avoid soap bath. It may vanish in few weeks to few months. Hope this helps. Thanks. Chat Doctor.

my 14 month old grandson has an area under both eyes that are almost tear drop shaped with raised blotches that appear blistery. he woke up like this. my son thought because he threw such a fit wanting to be held and not wanting to eat his breakfast was what caused this. also, last night when I picked him up from daycare I noticed on his left forearm dark purple blotches that apper as though someone dotted him with a marker. he had a slight fever on sunday when I watched him and sudden diarrhea with immediate diaper rash. I cleared the diaper rash but he has not had much of an appetite for two days (sunday and monday).
|
Hi, Welcome to this forum. Can understand your concerns. Sudden appearance of fever, loose tools, and blistering under the eyes could be due to food poisoning, acute gastroenteritis. Food poisoning usually presents like this in which the child has fever, loose stools and may develop allergic Rash. In acute gastroenteritis, there is infection at the level of intestine which results in loose stools followed by fever. In my opinion, your child most probably needs antibiotic like ofloxacin for a period of 3 days. Child should also be given adequate liquid diet so that deny Chat Doctor. And examination by pediatrician is a must. Sims, it is usually seen that cases of food poisoning worsen over a short period of time. I hope this will help you. Take care.

my husband has had a pressure on the center top part of his brain for about 3 years now, accompanied with nausea , dizziness , loss of appetite , sleepiness. What possible conclusions can this lead to? He s had MRI, CT Scan both neg, went to ENT for allergies (didn t get better) he had 2 Spinal punctures and they found slight meningitis, but the neurologist said it wasn t anything to worry about. These tests were done a year ago and he s worse now then he was then, and I m getting worried! We no longer have insurance, but I want him to get better, any suggestions on what his diagnosis could be?
|
Hi, You should be repeating the CT Scan or MRI head to rule out any Brain Tumor or if to see is the Meningitis is completely cured. If it is meningitis and is completely not cured, there are chances of his symptoms recurring back. The cause for this has to Found out like TB Meningitis or something else as treating the cause will definitely help. If TB Meningitis is confirmed, he will have to take Medicines for 6 Months at least for complete cure. Take him to a Neurologist for a second opinion at the earliest. I wish him Good Health, Good Luck.

Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your situation and problem. By your history and description, possibility of gaseous sound due to HERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease) is more. Stress and anxiety are common cause for HERD. So avoid stress and tension, be relaxed and calm. Start proton pump inhibitors and prokinetic Chat Doctor. It will help in gaseous trouble. Avoid hot and spicy food. Avoid junk food. Avoid large meals, instead take frequent small meals. Avoid smoking and alcohol if you have these habits. Lose weight if you are obese. Don't worry, you will be alright. Hope I have solved your query. Wish you good health. Thanks.

I was carving a pumpkin and stabbed myself in my wrist on my left arm right below my thumb. I went to the ER and got two stitches. Now, three days later, there is a large bruise from the bottom of my thumb on my same arm that goes down the middle of my wrist and it is about 3-4 inches long. Is this normal? Does it indicate more complication or possibly and infection?
|
Hi. Welcome to Chat Doctor . I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns. As per your complaint due to getting stabbed there has been sharp injury to the soft tissue and also there seems to be injury to the blood vessels leading to spillage of blood into the soft tissues leading to bruising and you not to worry about it as gradually when the blood will disintegrate the bruising will also disappear. You can do alternate warm and cool compresses over the bruised area and also apply heparin containing gel like Thrombophob gel or other brands available at your local pharmacy as it will help in faster disintegration of the blood and bruising will resolve. You can also apply an antibiotic ointment at the site of cut to prevent infection. Hope this information helps. Thanks and regards.

Him, mayy I answerg yuourm hse alth quberliees eridght now ? Please type your query here...Well every morning my teeth bleed alot especially when I smile! Even when I barely touch my gums and I also wake up with my gums bleeding...what does this mean?
|
Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query. The bleeding in the oral cavity could be because of the gum infection secondary to the deposits below the gum. The other possible causes of bleeding can be because of any cuts in the oral cavity or pulp polyp or any bleeding disorders like idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura. Consult an oral physician and get these things ruled out. Get a complete blood investigation along with INR to rule out the bleeding disorders. If any gum infection then get your teeth cleaned and use topical gum astringents like strontium chloride (stolen) gum paint. If pulp polyp is there then get it root canal treated. If bleeding disorder is there then consult a general physician. I hope my answer will help you, take care.

My sister has been very ill for over 5 months now. She had a baby on January 28th this year. And after maybe one month later, she started getting sick. She s had so many symptoms that it s been hard to diagnose. She said it all started after she drank some coffee/cappuccino from Bad Ass Coffee in Albuquerque that was sitting in her car all day. She started by having constant headaches and a pulling sensation in her head and mouth. She started having trouble sleeping. She keeps taking sleeping pills, not only to sleep. But also to try blocking out her pain. Her family has told her not to take sleeping pills. But she won t listen. She s been very weak, and says that she feels like her body is turning into stone. She can t even tell when she s hungry, or when she has to go to the bathroom. She s also been losing weight from not eating much. She s also been having a burning feeling in her stomach, and says it feels like her stomach is being squeezed. She keeps sending me text messages saying she s dying, and telling everyone she loves them. Her husband and 2 older kids (8 and 15) are at their wits end. She s been to several doctors, had multiple blood work and MRI s, and everything keeps turning out negative. Nothing is showing any problems. I can t remember if she s had a CT scan? What can POSSIBLY be wrong? She s scared to death, and she s been an emotional wreck. A recent doctor gave her some sort of antacids etc., but apparently they haven t helped. There s definitely some sort of neurological problem as well, because she always gets twitches and jerking all over her. She s always saying that it feels like something is pulling her down. Our whole family is at a loss for ideas, and we re all very worried. It s nearing 6 months now. It don t look like our family will be celebrating the holiday season this year.

Hello ! I read your question and understand your concern. In my opinion the symptoms you describe may be related to postpartum depression. It is a very common disorder affecting women after delivery. The repeated analysis and MRI are another argument in favor of this diagnosis. This is not a neurological problem, but a psychiatric one. I would recommend you to bring her to a psychiatrist, to examine here and to choose the best antidepressant for her. I am sure she will get better after starting an antidepressant. She has anxiety too, and here twitches in the body and the gastric pain are related to that. An antidepressant in effective against anxiety too. Hope to have been helpful! Best wishes,

Hi wonder if you can help, I have very recently been treated with antibiotics for a kidney infection, which still has not cleared. I have had blood tests. However it has now begun to hurt when I have to go to the bathroom to poo. Two years ago I had cervical cancer , and had a radical hysterectomy . I am a female age 33. Thanks
|
HelloThanks for your query. Based on the facts that you have posted it appears that you have undergone radical hysterectomy for cancer of the cervix and now has UTI. Please get your routine urine test and urine culture done to find out the organisms causing this infection and antibiotics to which they are sensitive to. Please take broad spectrum antibiotics along with urinary antiseptics like Nitrofurantoin twice daily and later on switch on to appropriate antibiotics as per culture report. . Get the prescription of medicines from your family Physician. Ensure to Chat Doctor. To keep your urine dilute This will help to control dysuria.

my level of pain is past a 10, i have major dental pain, its my upper back tooth on the right side, its been chipping away for months and i have a filling in it, the pain has spread to my right jaw line, to my right temple, to behind my right eye with migraine pains, plz help me!!!!!!!!!!!!
|
Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Read your query. The pain suggest an abscess in your decayed tooth which is causing the severe pain and also the referred pain. I would advise you to visit your dentist and get an x-ray done, followed by removal of the filling and getting the root canal treatment done. For pain, you can take an ibuprofen (if you are not allergic to any medicine) and antibiotics after consulting your dentist. Do NOT apply any hot bag from the surface. Do saline gargling. Thanks and regards.
