If you pull off a piece of leukoplakia which the Dentist said it was can one of the white pieces that was pulled off be white with what looked like a tiny hair with a follicle on it just be leukoplakia or is it hairy leukoplakia? Could what looked like the tiny hair just be the root of leukoplakia?
|
Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Read your query. Leukoplakia lesions cannot usually be plucked. It has to be scraped by removing cells from the surface of the lesion with a small, spinning brush or surgically removing the entire patch (excisional biopsy). I would advise you to have a biopsy done to rule out the diagnosis of leukoplakia. If you have the habit of taking tobacco, smoking quitting that is very important. Limiting the use of alcohol is also very important. Hope this was helpful. Thanks and regards.

Sir, Since last one year I am suffering from fatty liver problem. My total bilrubin was 1.3 and direct bilrubin was 0.5 and ALT was 63. I have under gone treatment and I have taken Udiliv 300 twice and vitamin e (NE) twice. After one month in blood report Total bilrubin found was 1.03 Direct bilrubin was 0.5 ALT-36. However I was continuing the same medicine for another two months. At present my recent blood report says Total bilrubin is 2.2 where, direct bilrubin is 0.49, AST-25, ALT-19. I am 21 year old I have reduced my weight from 70 kg to 65 kg in last three months. My Physician suspects that the cause of higher bilrubin is Hemolytic Anemia and prescribedt same medicine with Iron supplement for another three months and ask for blood test for Hemolytic Anemia. Please advise. My height is 172.2 c.m XXXXXXkolkata
|
Hi, Thanks for writing in. Udiliv is not the medication of choice for fatty liver. The best combination would be sorbitol, trampoline citrate and orbiting for a period of 6 months. This will help reduce or normalize the liver function tests. To rule out a hemolytic anemia you need to undergo proper clinical examination and hematological work up including peripheral smear and bone marrow studies. Regards

|
Degree understand your concerns went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. Anxiety is to be understood well to have good treatment. Anxiety is of various kinds, and your description do not give any details of your anxiety. Secondly, anxiety needs to learned, managed and then removed. You should know the basic causes of anxiety to manage it. The best method is psychotherapy which helps to alter your lifestyle to suit your anxiety problems. Yoga and meditation also helps immensely. If you still need my help, please describe the whole problem in detail and post a direct question to me. I shall definitely help you with psychotherapy techniques to overcome your problems. Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications. Good luck.

I had a rash on my arm, and my doctor prescribed prednisone (12 days ). I finished it a week ago Sunday, and the rash is coming back. He said its an allergic reaction, but were not sure to what. Will this go away on its own? Is there something I can put on it?
|
Hello, Thank you for asking at Chat Doctor. I went through your history and would like to make suggestions for you as follows:1. If you have these complaints for the first time, I would prescribe you an antihistamine like fexofenadine or HY Chat Doctor. 2. I would also suggest you to apply a lotion like calamine over itchy areas.3. Please do not scratch the itchy areas as it aggravates itching. 4. If you have recent intestinal symptoms or recent travel, I would suggest you an antiparasitic medicine for 3 days as sometimes intestinal parasites can also cause such symptoms.5. I usually use corticosteroids (prednisolone) for resistant hives/rashes. I do not prefer to use them as first

Hi I seem to be getting bad chest pains down the centre of my chest it s almost like the bone is hurting buts it s really painful and now and then the pain goes to the very top of my stomach I just had my tea and the last time I had anything was 12.30 this afternoon But the pain is still in my chest 30min on
|
Tithe pain that you complain of could be due to heart burns. Usually this pain comes one or two hours after eating food. This kind of pain is relieved with antacids and proton pump inhibitors such as omeprazole. You can check if you are getting relieved with this pain by getting over the counter antacids right away. If so, you are likely to have peptic ulcer disease. If you are getting these symptoms frequently you can consult your physician, who will prescribe a course of medication for three weeks to eradicate the germs (H. Pylori) that cause this illness. Hope this helps.

36 y/o smoker. Have had facial neuropathy for over 6 months on right side. head MRI/EEG in January were both normal. Have small movable lump on back right side of neck, and another in the front along the muscle just above collarbone. Getting a lot of burning sensations. Blood work in OCT was all normal, chest x-ray few weeks ago was negative. Still have burning, and now feel like have little knot right at the bottom of the tendon in the fron of my neck under my collarbone. My doc says the lumps seems normal, and have ENT appt this week. Im really scared this is something awful. long history of cancer in family. Im thinking the chest xray is a positive sign that this may be something benign??? Do you think tendon thing may be a tear/cyst?
|
Hi, Dear thanks for the query to Chat Doctor. I studied your query in depth.-I advise you on Cause and treatment- as follows-You are worry-some and anxious, only due to the long-family history of Cancer.-AS thought by you chest X-ray is not the answer for diagnosing it.-ENT opinion as advised by your doctor -will find out its cause. And your doctor is right in that advice, because-he has first hand clinical information which I am lacking herewith. Still from the facts given -a-facial neuropathy is -due to the Pleomorphic parotid-adenoma-which could be confirmed by a FNAC Biopsy from a Surgeon.b-About the lump at neck-tendon-above collar bone-I would advise FNAC biopsy and Surgeons clinical-opinion report before commenting on its cause. This would help you to plan a treatment for this query. So don't worry and act fast ASAP. Hope this would help your worry to take proper steps for health. Wishing you fast recovery. Wellcome again if you have any more query in this regard. Have a Good Day.

I have lupus anticoagulant and just take a baby aspirin daily. Lately, i have been experiencing muscle cramps, light headedness,even a few occasions i had flashes or visions of something not there - not necessarily loss of appetite but not much sounds good. The only significant change is i recently started taking a package of vitamins - this is what is says on package - magnesium 316mg, zinc 15mg, selenium 25mcg, copper 1mg, manganese 1mg, chromium 25 mcg, molybdenum 5mcg, fish oil 2400 mg, malic acid 148 mg. we thought maybe dehydration so ive been pounding water and gatorade (stupid me has only been eating chicken noodle and crackers - only thing that tastes good). any thoughts?
|
Hi ! Thank you for your query. Dear madam, Well looking into the history you have given it seems like you need to get your disease evaluation at earliest. I don't think it is because of this multi vitamin supplement or deny Chat Doctor. Muscle cramps, fatigue indicate that the disease activity is going on. I advise you to consult a rheumatologist, get your ESR, CRP, PT, INR, APT done and accordingly get yourself assessed and treated as your doctor suggests. I think you should seek medical care at earliest. Wish you good health. Take care.

Hi , I am 66 years old . Two years ago I had a fall and fractured my lumbar bone . I had a vitobroplasty surgery done. After that , I had been having chronic lower back pain . The pain comes on when I stand or sit too long . It goes away when I rest .Is it ok for me to take Neurobion ?
|
Hi.after knowing your complaints I feel this is a residual pain which is seen after most of the vertebroplasty. The metal implants most of the time benign a foreign body in your body cause various reactions which may ultimately cause low back pain. In my clinic with such scenario I advise some lifestyle modifications like to avoid unnecessary n extra ambulation whenever possible, not lifting have objects n taking rest whenever possible in between the walks. Some painkillers like ibuprofen and some muscle relaxant like thiocolchicoside for a few days added with local painkiller gel application to avoid systemic side effects of above painkillers. Even after these precautions and medications pain persists, I would have advised the metal implant removal surgery n then an MRI to know the exact pathology inside. U can discuss with your orthopedic surgeon the above options n get a proper management under his guidance. U should continue erosion to prevent any further damage to your nerves. I wish you a painless back n healthy life.

My mom has hada sudden onset of mottling on her abdomen. I am curious what the cause is. Her back story is as follows: she is 3 weeks post op from a modified Whipple( removed body and tail of pancreas, instead of the head) she went to surgeon s office on a Wednesday to have JP drain removed. Started vomiting about 4-5 hrs after getting home. Continued vomiting until she went to ER sunday. Saturday night her abdomen was normal. Sunday when she was in ER her abdomen now has mottling across the whole thing. I didn t see her surgeon in ER. When I did see him on Monday, I asked about and he has no idea what has caused it. Any ideas????
|
Hi. Thanks for your query. Read the history about your Mother and understood it. The cause of sudden mottling on the stomach after the Chat Doctor. -There might have been leakage of pancreatic enzymes, which can cause this. -The spread of infection in the subcutaneous planes can also cause this. If the vomiting is persistent, if the other signs or symptoms develop like continuation of vomiting, distension of abdomen, constipation or obstipation, fever and so on, she needs to be admitted; Nasogastric tube passed and kept on intravenous fluids and antibiotics. Blood and urine investigations will be done. CT scan of the abdomen will help to diagnose a few more things and the course of action will depend upon the progress of the symptoms / signs / vitals and complications if they develop. Take care, get her admitted and do not take your Mother home till she is cured well.

last night my 11 year old son exploded a can of spray paint. It covered his face and hair. We flushed his eyes with water and saline but used paint thinner to get it out of his hair, face and limbs. We immediately rinsed with water and then he had a thorough shower. During the nights he experienced chills and now is achy with a slight fever along with nausea. What should we now?
|
Welcome to the ChatDoctorSpray paint and paint thinner exposure needs to be immediately managed at emergency setting as it can lead to short term effects like irritation, nausea, vomiting as in your child and many long-lasting effects. So, kindly take him to an ER with details of spray paint and thinner. The health care provider will measure and monitor the persons vital signs, including temperature, pulse, breathing rate, and blood pressure. Symptoms will be treated as appropriate. The child may receive:-Breathing support-Chest x-ray-EKG (heart tracing)-Fluids through a vein (IV)-Tube through the mouth into the stomach to wash out the stomach (gastric lavage)-Washing of the skin (irrigation) -- perhaps every few hours for several daysHopefully it will be of help. Take care

Gd afternoon doctor. Our 6 month daughter was diagnosed with UTI yesterday with about 15-12 pus cells count. They have started with Advent antibiotics (Cipla) and have given urine for a culture. Trust it is going in the right direction? Is that pus cell count a very very bad one? We, being first time parent, are very worried - espceially with the fever that keeps coming and going for the last 6-7 days.
|
Hi, Thanks for asking on Chat Doctor. 12-15 pus cells in urine are considered to be mildly elevated. Severe cases come with >100 pus cells/HP too. Sometimes we report such a high number as too numerous to count. The protocol says to give a urine culture right away and start the antibiotic after that. Once the culture report is received 48-72 hours later, the antibiotic can be changed if need be. UTI is a common cause of fever with chills and rigors. Kindly get her investigated thoroughly in case the UTI keeps recurring. One time episode is nothing to worry about.

Please tell me whether this surgery was most required or I could be treated through the radiotherapy Plus chemotherapy as after this surgery I not only have lost my voice but social status as well as business & respect in the society.
|
Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You have squamous cell carcinoma of larynx. It is in early stage. Surgery was really needed to prevent further spread of disease and save your life. Surgery followed by radiotherapy and chemotherapy is the treatment of choice is this case. Your reports suggest cancer is limited to larynx and it's not spread in adjacent area. So it's good for you. Consult your oncologist and take further 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.

Im very worried because my dog died 3 days ago the dog showed symptoms of rabies before he died he attacks my other dog and his throat is paralyzed lose of appetite until he died , and i remeber almost 2 months ago he bit my cousins foot , it was a lil wound but it bled, last friday the after the dog died my cousin received vaccine, including RIG, today is the day 3 or the second dose, he is in the process of completing the series, my question is... is he now protected? even though its almost 2 months ago when my dog bit him, my cousin is healthy right now, but im still worried.
|
Dear I can understand your concern. I would like to inform you that the incubation period that is interval between exposure and the onset of clinical disease for rabies is usually 20 to 90 days. This disease is almost uniformly fatal but is almost always preventable with appropriate post exposure therapy by vaccine and RIG during early incubation period. As you have mentioned dear about 2 months has passed we can't say for sure how effective this therapy will be.but we have still a large hope as he has not developed any features suggestive of rabies this means he is in incubation period. So continue with full vaccination and RIG schedule. Hope for the best dear. Hope this will help you. If you have any other concerns please feel free to message me. Thanks for contacting Chat Doctor.

A friend of mine has had an MRI which shows an enlarged pancreas overlapping her liver and gall bladder. A surgeon. Has suggested she go for an endoscopy MRI. Her symptoms include high liver enzymes, itching, back ache, loss of weight and appetite, dark urine and light stools. Would this indicate something serious like pancreatic cancer? She has no abdominal pain nor nausea or vomiting.
|
Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. She has high liver enzymes, dark urine and light stool. It is suggestive of obstruction of bile duct. With pancreas increase in size so it may be due to periamullary carcinoma. You should go for endoscopy and biopsy if needed. Go for that 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.

Hello, Regarding your concern, I would explain that your antihypertensive therapy does not seem to be effective in controlling your blood pressure values. For this reason, I recommend consulting with your attending physician as soon as possible and discussing the possibility of increasing the doses or adding new antihypertensive Chat Doctor. It is also important performing some blood lab tests in order to exclude any possible metabolic disorders (complete blood count, PCR, ESR, kidney and liver function tests, blood electrolytes, thyroid hormone levels). Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Hi, dear. I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You have lump in neck with high sediment rate. So most probably you have tuberculosis.

For the past two days Ive woken with a rash that runs from the top of my knee to my hip, all the way around my right leg and it disappears about an hour after I wake up. No fever, my room stays about 65 degrees, I wore shorts to bed the first night and sweatpants last night. What is this and do I need to see a dr?
|
Hello, Thank you for posting on Chat Doctor. The condition you have referred to is called Urticaria or hives. It's an allergic manifestation of skin, where an allergen leads to release of certain substances from your blood, leading to itchy skin rash and swelling over soft tissues. Its proper management requires thorough history, clinical and laboratory work-up. You may have to go for specific tests like patch test, food prick test, IGE antibody levels etc. As for treatment part, best would be the avoidance of allergen as far as possible. Try to eliminate possible triggering foods from diet. I would also advise you various antihistamines for long duration(at least 3 months) with or without oral corticosteroids. For non-responding cases there are many other Chat Doctor. Hope this will help you in resolving your query. Thank you

Hi pavitravshetty For pars defect with grade one listless surgery is advised only if patient is athlete or has occupation which require heavy activity like forward bending and weight lifting etc. Grade one listless with can be managed conservatively with some lifestyle modifications proper lumbar corset and physiotherapy. Decision depends on how much pain you have and what's your occupation? Occupations as mention ed above may require surgery depending upon the pain.

first of all thank you for your kind attention. Last 20 dys(November 06) ago my S.Bilirubin(Total) was 1.86 then i consult doctor and taken bed rest with medication , on November 10 i have tested & S.Bilirubin(Total) was 5.72, on November 18 i have tested & S.Bilirubin(Total) was 2.81. How long i need to take rest more?
|
Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor, You have tested for on bilirubin or other liver function and viral markers were also tested.Maybe you have viral hepatitis, and it is showing decreasing trend, so it should clear of in 2 weeks time. If there is no other problem and taking normal diet you ma y resume light work. If there is any supportive therapy given continue to take the medicines. Viral hepatitis should be tested for HBS Ag to know it is Viral Hepatitis B or not as it has propensity to go in chronic hepatitis. If it is Hepatitis E it should resolve in few days. As Hepatitis is water born take care of water and diet. Good Luck

My daughter is 16 and is quite aggressive and hostile. She thinks everyone including the parents are against her and the only people who are with her are her friends. She often threatens to take a knife and stab herself. The doctor prescribed Serta tablets. I would like to know if it is OK for a 16 year old and if there could be any side effects
|
Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor. Thanks for your query. These symptoms could be indicative of an emotionally unstable personality disorder or even a psychotic disorder. Your daughter needs a detailed psychological assessment (which will include a detailed exploration of her symptoms as well as past, personal, social and childhood history, plus a mental state examination) to make a definitive diagnosis. Serra (Sertraline) is an antidepressant medication which is relatively safer when compared to the older antidepressants and 50Β mg is a low dose. However, this medication will usually take about 2-3 weeks to take full effect and there can be a mild increase in anxiety symptoms due to the medication in the first few days. Sertraline has been approved for the use in child Chat Doctor. This doesn't mean that these medications should not be prescribed. In fact, the benefits which this medication provide clearly outweigh this mild risk, but its just that patients should be more cautious. Wish you all the best. -

My feet and ankles have been swollen for the most part of a yr.. They may go down for a day or two, but they always swell back up.. Ive also been having shortness of breath.. My dr ha put me on water pills, potassium, and several different meds, I have changed my diet, and stopped drinking soda and nothing has worked.. Its gotten so bad that its hard for me to walk due to the pain and the swelling is putting pressure on my ankles and causing them to go out.. Any suggestions??
|
Dear patient pain and swelling in both ankles with shortness in breath my first diagnosis would be heart problem. Are you hypertensive? If yes this may be sign of early heart weakness. If you have no heart issues or hypertension local ankle pathology needs to be taken care of. Where exactly is your pain ? If it is in lower part of ankle plantar fasciitis is likely, if OT is beginning ankle retrocalcaneal bursitis or a chilled tendinopathu is likely, if it is on lateral aspect of ankle perineal tendon bursitis is likely. What I mean is there are multiple possible diagnosis and mere ankle pain will not help me in identifying your disease. Detailed examination by expert orthopedic surgeon is required to identify the pathology. Meanwhile, start tab aerosol SP twice a day for pain and swelling relief.

my mum has been complaining of abdominal pain for a few months now, however, recently it has become worse. Today she was in utter agony, i asked her what it feels like and she said like bricks in her stomach area. She indicated that today the pain originally started around her left hip but has extended beyond that, around her back and front as well as further up, as far as her ribs. She is now refusing to go to hospital. I dont know whether she needs to or not. Please help, I am very concerned
|
Hi. This is a common sense that when mother is suffering from such an agony - pain in abdomen for the last few months and now has worsened, you have to take her to the hospital for a clinical examination, investigations of blood, urine and stool. CT scan of the abdomen and whatever will be advised on physical examination by a General Surgeon . Sh e needs to be admitted and investigated and surgery if required may be planned.

Wow, cool... Um, I have a lump on the back of my lower neck (almost shoulder). No redness or swelling, just pain. No external signs (no puss, skin breakage). The skin rolls over it easily, but it feel attached to the muscle. I woke up with it suddenly yesterday, and it has not changed. It is quite hard and unmoveable. Should I be worried?
|
Hello, Thanks for writing to swell, without a clinical evaluation it would be difficult to determine the cause of the lump. Possibilities that may need to be considered include lipomas, cysts, growths from underlying connective tissue etc. I would suggest getting this evaluated by your doctor for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate management. You may get the X-ray of the area affected and FNAC (fine needle aspiration cytology) of lump under his/her guidance. I do hope that you have found something helpful, and I will be glad to answer any further query.

Hi doctor,The patient is my wife.Patient age is 30 years, we have one child 2.3 years old and healthy. She was feeding baby till 2 years of her age. During pregnancy TSH was 5.7 and taken medication, after pregnancy, TSH became normal, stopped the medication as advised by the doctor. During pregnancy, heel pain was there continuously with coccyx pain. Did MRI whole spine, it was normal. Since last one month, there is no heel pain but while getting up from bed in the morning, there is a pain in both feet. She takes a few seconds to get up from bed in the morning only. She is taking Tayo 60k for seven weeks and one on monthly basis. She feels very low energy throughout the day with mild body pains. We consulted the doctor (general physician), advised CBC, TSH, vitamin D, vitamin B12. I am attaching reports. TLC was 3.97, after one week it was 3.56. Platelet was 125, after a week 158. As of now, I do not have any problem except weakness, mild body pains. Patient weight is 42 kg to 45 kg for many years. During pregnancy, it is 53 kg, now it is 43 kg. Height is 5 feet. My query is regarding TLC count and platelet. If we need some more investigations? If there is any abnormality then how fast TLC can go down. What is the reason for low TLC? Does she need to consult someone else? If after three months TLC count will be the same, is it worrisome? If it is not going down or up, is it serious? Assume it is the same for the next six months than what should I do?

Hi. Kindly find answers of your questions as below. Your total leukocyte count and platelet were low initially. But gradually it has been improved so suggest recovery of any unnoticed infection. Moreover, the peripheral smear examination report was normal (attachment removed to protect patient identity) and not showing any abnormal cells that warrant further investigation. You have to still repeat CBC after few days. The TSH is high, so hypothyroidism should be ruled out. For that repeat TSH estimation after few days and investigate with T3, T4 estimation as well. If there is any abnormality, then gradually all counts go down or high and peripheral smear shows abnormal cells if blood cancer is present. It is difficult to say one reason for low WBC. But the infection can be possible. If no cause is evident then ANA estimation can be done to do work up for autoimmune disease. If your CBC values do not fall within the range in the next few days then hematologist can be consulted for a detailed evaluation. If hypothyroidism is confirmed then Levothyroxine should be started.

i hope u can help me my partner has found a lump on his private parts made an appointment at the doctors the doctor didnt even look at it and sent him to a clinic that he said would help they told him he had to go to a walk in centre that have now told him his doctor shouldnt of sent him but go to local hospital he rang them and has got to wait for an app its now 4 days of waiting and hes worried sick i just want to no why the delays when it could be very serious i dont know what else he can do to find out what the lump is
|
Hello, Without a physical examination of the penis, it would be impossible for anyone to provide you any diagnosis on this matter. The lump could be pimples, pearly penile pa pules, genital warts etc. For the time being, do not worry too much about it because it may not be anything serious. Wait for the doctor to inspect and then investigate. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Chat Doctor. V. Anand, Psychologist

I am yet to make an LFT which i am planned to do in end of march Is my treatment in right direction pls advice
|
Hello, Mild elevation in your bilirubin, first you need to know the reason, Kindly check your viral markers (Hepatitis B and Hepatitis C, if they are negative then okay, if they are positive then please get treated for the same, then regarding your fatty liver, your scan does not show any fatty changes, but kindly get your sugar, thyroid n cholesterol levels checked and can be treated accordingly if they are altered, along with diet restrictions like avoiding fatty foods with exercising is the ideal thing. Consult your Gastroenterologist and get yourself completely evaluated. Hope I could help you. Thank you.

I have a doer spot near my ankle and it was red and hot dr gave me keflex and redness got better and not hot but stil a round spot there .both legs half way up my leg are sore if I get a pedicure and they massage them so I don t let them massage them. Had a doubler test and it came out negative.
|
Hello, I read your message and understood your problem. If it is possible for you to send me photos of your ankle it would be great. I need to see the lesion myself in order to give a final opinion. The ankle rashes can be due to a possible infection, autoimmune conditions, and other causes like lichen plans, Golfers vasculitis and troubles with veins. Try to remember any insect bites or other things affecting the interested area. It is quite usual that the rash expands to upper parts of the legs. As reflex is working the skin infection soon will disappear and the red patch too. Soreness of legs indicates the presence of infection but not only this. You need to do a check to identify any problems with your leg veins like varicose veins or any hematologic conditions. Other health systems must be checked too especially kidney, liver and heart. Hope this is helpful. Chat Doctor.

Hello, I just recently noticed a lump on my right under forearm, midway between the wrist and elbow. About Pea size, non tender, cant tell whether its mobile or not, not aggravated by flexion or extension of arm. Surrounding area is reddish with yellowish discolouration. No known trauma noted. What could be it? many thanks.

Hi, Dear,Thanks for the query from you to my Chat Doctor Clinic. I have gone through your query and after in depth study on it, In My opinion-your lump mostly is - resolved / dormant/old-boil or / insect bite hence non-tender.Don't worry about it. Still if it doesn't regress and vanish, you may need treatment, Tb NSAIDs, with antibiotic Cover, if no relief in 2 days time. Still I would advise you to check up from ER doctor or Surgeon. Hope this would resolve your worrisome query for now. Wellcome-to my Chat Doctor Clinic for any more query.

I am suffering pain at my back waist for 2 weeks and sometimes pain at my lower abdomen .here s my urine test result- Protein-trace,WBC15-20/HPF and RBC-0-3/HPF. does it mean that i have UTI? what would be the possible treatment? thanks
|
Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor Forum. Your test results indicate that you are having UTI. Firstly you need to give your urine for culture test as well. This can tell you which bacteria are causing the problem. Meanwhile, show your reports to your doctor and he/she will prescribe you antibiotics. You may take a pain reliever for the low backache. I would recommend you to take plenty of fluids as this will help in flushing out the bacteria. Take care.

I ve been on omeprazole for a dozen years (reflux) and developed microscopic colitis about two years ago. No pain with the colitis, but very soft stool and occasionally diarrhea. Nothing has helped: I ve tried Entocort, laiada, bismuth, probiotics, lactose free diet (for about a month). Because the omeprazole may contribute to the colitis, I ve been urged to substitute pantoperazole or lanoperazole for the omeprazole. I ve been told that the former may be less likely to trigger the colitis than the omeprazole. Any suggestions?
|
Hi, Based on the history colitis seems to be due an important side effect of proton pump inhibitor omeprazole. Colitis seems to be due to bacterial infection which occurs due to suppression stomach acid production by proton pump inhibitors. All the proton pump inhibitors are known to cause colitis or diarrhea. I suggest you to take and H2-receptor blocker like famotidine for your reflux disease. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

hello,in April I was at home, just about to walk downstairs when it felt like my heart started jumping all over the place.not pounding/thumping. Having had flutters and pounding before, i didnt panic because i knew that it would pass. i did notice it was different,jumping fast all over my chest area, also i felt like i was going to pass out.then the feeling went into my neck and in my stomach,like pumping then i had slight pain under my jaw and under cheekbone area.Started to feel bit heavy on my chest but no chest pain. fainting feeling went away and i carried on as normal. A week later was sitting down,my heart felt little bit the same and like i was going to pass out.Only mild and not as long as before.About a week later went to see nurse about something else,didnt mention it, she took blood pressure, said it was fine.left, walked to shops, was there looking about 10minutes and my heart started jumping all over again but i was more concentrating on not passing out,just trying to get my breath back.somebody came to help me.Since then, i can constantly feel my heart doing something different.Im not sure if its stopping or jumping? Even my husband can feel it in my pulse in my neck,he said its like a pause. it also seems to make me cough and when it does a double jump it seems to jolt me?
|
Kind of description you're giving, its look like you are having tachycardia episodes (high pulse rate) most probably the condition called as PSV. Best treatment is electrophysiologist studies which will confirm the diagnosis and can be treated with ablation simultaneously and mostly permanently. If not try to get ECG done if possible during the episodes or try measure pulse rate or heart rate and treatment try cough multiple time which will stop this tachycardia. You can also pour cold water over your face or try to blow out air through closed nostril and mouth, which will make high pulse rate subside.

|
Hi, I feel you have undergone fairly detailed evaluation. What you are having is called Asymptomatic Urinary Abnormality. I strongly suspect you to be having Thin Membrane Disease, other membrane related conditions or Iran. Since you have not mentioned your place I advise you to go to a place having facilities for conducting Kidney Biopsy and EM(Elect one Microscopy) evaluation. The treatment then can be decided based on the reports.

Hello! Welcome on Chat Doctor! I passed carefully through your question and would explain that thyroid dysfunction and high blood pressure, are chronic disorders, which can lead to serious consequences if not treated properly. Thyroid dysfunction can lead to central nervous system dysfunction, cardiac arrhythmia and also high blood pressure. From the other hand, high blood pressure can lead to chronic changes of the arterial walls, causing thickening and narrowing of the blood vessels with an increased risk for stroke and heart attack. So, I would strongly encourage you to maintain your blood pressure under control. Some tips to maintain a normal blood pressure naturally would be: - reduce salt and caffeine intake-try to lose some pounds if you are overweight. - perform a lot of physical activity (yoga, walking, etc.). Hope to have been helpful! Wishing good health,

hello im wondering if you can help me, im 34 weeks pregnant with my third child and for the last week or so ive had a really heavy thick discharge, its kind of a white yellowy colour with a bit of brown, i know this mite disgust you but im a smoker and im really worried there is something wrong the baby doesnt move much but hasnt rite through my pregnancy can you tell me if this discharge is normal.
|
Hello dear, I understand your concern. In my opinion thick yellow vaginal discharge needs examination to rule out any infection. The optimum fetal movements should be at least 10 in a span of 12 hours. I suggest you to consult doctor and get vaginal examination done to check for any infection. In case of any infection antibiotics might be needed for it as these infections might predispose to preterm pains. Smoking during pregnancy causes growth retardation of fetus and low IQ in baby. So stopping smoking during pregnancy is essential. Best regards...

31 yr old male. Wrestler and jiu jitsu practitioner. Never had any significant health problems. I found a quarter sized lump on my inner thigh a couple inches south of my groin. It is firm, painless, slightly purple with a black dot on the top. You can move it under the skin. Ive attempted to puncture it with a needle and squeezed it pretty hard to see if pus would come out. Only blood. I now have some fluid build up around the lump (what I get for being a DIY doctor, right?) It hasnt gotten any bigger. I started doing jiu jitsu again about 4 days a week for the last month. Only after I started jiu jitsu did this lump come up. Any ideas what it could be?
|
Hi there - Lump on the thigh could be a number of things. Given your history of Jim Jitsi and wrestling, the most common thing is a hematoma (old blood clot) under the skin. Another cause could be a lipoma (basically, a benign fat ball). Neither of these is cause for concern. Another more concerning cause could be an enlarged lymph node, which can be caused by a benign infection and in rare cases, malignancy (cancer). I certainly don't mean to scare you, and the other causes I mentioned are much, much more likely. I'd recommend you not stick any more needles in it for starters, and ask your doctor for an ultrasound. If there's any question, they can biopsy the mass and find out what it is. Hope this is helpful, feel free to contact me if you have any further questions.

Hello doctor,My niece who is 4 years old is suffering from a brain infection. She also had a spinal tap test and diagnosed with a high infection. Suggest me the best specialist doctor for this. Is there any serious problem now or in the future?
|
Hello. The reports you sent me do not show normal values beside the observed values (attachment removed to protect patient identity). From what I can understand, this would have been a case of viral meningitis. If the child did not have any serious life-threatening episode during this infection, it is less likely that there would be any damage done. As regards the future, since there were no convulsions, I feel not much damage has been done, so things should be fine. Continue other medications as going on. Consult a neurologist for the same.

Hi, please get a complete blood count, urine routine test and a random blood sugar test done for the child if these tests have not been done before. Tiredness may be due to anemia or blood sugar related issues, so these have to be ruled out. A spirometry test may also be done to test for lung function. You may also get a test called TSH done which is a screening test for thyroid function. Is the children height and weight OK. Based on the above I could give you a more comprehensive opinion.

Hello, Yes, you are right. This is due to the injury to the knee. It is nowhere related to the shin. As you had a fall and this injury must have diatribes the internal structures of the knee leading to sprain and swelling. Taking up an x-ray will be always good for a safer side to figure out if you have any fracture. In most cases, it turns out negative, but we do have to understand that it is better to be cautious than ignorant. What I will suggest is to take up an x-ray if you can on a safe side. You can take hot water fermentation and keep the leg elevated over a pillow & perform ankle toe movements. This will help to allow a good venous return which will help to reduce the swelling and redness. Post this you can do some static Qua Chat Doctor. Using a knee brace will be of benefit for stabilizing the joint to avoid excessive pressure falling over the ligaments due to injury.

my son just had liver test done for the second time his first test showed a slight elevation in the enzymes so we retook the test 1 month later and now he is high at 65? what can cause this/ they are sending him for ultrasound of the liver his age is just 12
|
Hi. Thanks for posting query at Chat Doctor. Usually ALT or AST values higher than "two times the upper normal limit", is considered abnormal (in some countries, ALT or AST values of more than 100 are considered abnormal). Value of AST or ALT greater than 85 or above maybe investigated further. Viral hepatitis (HAD, HBV, HCV) are common cause of elevated liver enzymes. Typhoid fever may also affect liver and cause high liver enzymes. Advice : - LOW fat diet should be followed, AVOID junk food and beverages-decreased oil consumption (oily food)- NO red meat-green vegetables should be ingested daily-use lemon juice (lemonade) once in a day-reduce weight if overweight/obese-"recheck liver enzymes after 6 to 8 weeks" and/or ultrasound. Any further questions are welcomed. Hope to answer your concern. Wish your son good health. Regards, Chat Doctor.

Hi Dear, Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of pain in scalp due to hair loss which seems to be due to alopecia errata. Stress is becoming additional factor. I would suggest you to consult dermatologist for proper examination. Doctor may order skin patch test, blood test and physical examination. Doctor may prescribe you medications like financial at least for 3-4 months and can prescribe antifungal treatment along with minoxidil spray. You should avoid wearing hat/cap for long time and use almond oil for regular head massage. Hope your concern has been resolved. Best Wishes,

An 80-year-old male has had low grade fever almost daily between 37.8c-36.5c for over a month. Currently he stays in the hospital with diagnosis as unknown fever. His culture and blood exam come as normal. CT found some shade in the lung, but exclude cancer and infection. Do you have any suggestions? Thank you ver much.
|
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. In my opinion the shade on CT plate must be ground glass opacities (GO).Egos are very common in old age due to inflammation of lung. It is not infection. It is inflammation of lungs mostly due to inhalation injury. So ask your radiologist about possibility of Egos. As treatment is consisted of steroids only.10-15 days of steroids are sufficient to improve these Egos. Steroids show Chat Doctor. But we need to first rule out infection.

Hello, Your mother is perhaps suffering from osteoporosis, a condition of thinning of the bone material causing pain in the bones. This usually occurs after the menopause but in her case it might have started early owing to the hysterectomy. She might also be suffering from problems in her spine causing the pressure symptoms like tingling and pain. Pain in joints is usually due to arthritis and since she is overweight, it is common for joints to take the extra strain. She needs a complete orthopedic assessment and so, I advise you to take her to an orthopedic for treatment. Take care.

Thank you for asking this question because it is important to know because of the headache & hypertension and high blood pressure is usually a silent disease and it is does not cause any symptoms, but also it is a silent killer too, but some people are sensitive and if the blood pressure is mildly high they get headache, but also you have to remember that headache can cause high pressure as I mentioned some people are sensitive to even lower level of high blood pressure in that case it is not that dangerous but if the blood pressure is very high and level III that is above the 190 systolic and the diastolic above the 120 then he should get immediate treatment what and go to the emergency room, but you have not told me any numbers off the blood pressure I will be interested if you can provide me that, and then I can be more specific in the meantime if he has a high blood pressure he should not do any strenuous exercise except regular walking thank you again

Melanin is the pigment which causes darkening. Its production increases on exposure to the sun. So protection from the sun by using sunscreen will definitely help to prevent darkening. For more information consult a dermatologist online

careful history of onset and reason has to be evaluated, whether any trauma or sudden jerk during movement occurred or is there no history of preceding trauma. Is effusion gradual ad swelling increasing? All this to differentiate tear of posterior horn or synovitis due to insidious onset of arthritis aaaaaaaaa/rheumatoid?you must meet an orthopedic doctor to evaluate these points co-relating history, clinical findings and MRI. Additional information about collateral ligament if trauma occurred and to rule out bursitis in and around knee. Treatment is usually knee support in brace, rest,aspiration cytology and therapeutic Chat Doctor. Pain medicines, anti-inflammatory meds and local infiltration with steroid, if necessary, after complete evaluation. Thanks

I have a severe pain on one of my right ribs. I don t understand why the pain is there. It s a sharp pain. Also, I don t know if this has anything to do with it, but I also have blood discharging from my vagina even though I don t get my period for another 2 weeks. thanks for the help.
|
Hi I did review your concern. For the sharp pain in your ribs it is always better to consult a doctor and rule out whether it is not a problem of heart or lungs by getting an ECG and a chest X-ray done. If everything is normal your pain can be of muscular origin and can be treated with ibuprofen tablets. About the inter periods bleeding my advice would be to consult a gynecologist and get the lower pelvis examined for any pathology as normally it should never bleed in between hope this yellowish you all the best. Thank you for using Chat Doctor.

I had a MRI done because I was having pain, what appeared to be in my right hip but seemed to move to different places on my right side. I got the results today and it was discovered that I have a mild disk bulge in my lower spine. The MRI also revealed that I have Free Fluid in my abdominal area and the doctor wants me to have an abdominal pelvis ultural sound. My question is, What is free fluid?
|
Hello Dear, Welcome here on Chat Doctor dot com a site for solving your health problem online by qualified healthcare professional. I am very much concerned with your problem and certainly will guide you how to get rid of these. In my viewed fluid in abdomen means an abnormal fluid in peritoneal cavity, This is indicative of some pathology in abdominal organs for which your doctor has suggested ultrasound. I suggest you visit your family doctor for a detail close examination and advice for further treatment.

Hi, Fatigue is a common symptom that follows bleeding in the brain. The treatment is to check and make sure there are no other contributing factors that can be corrected such as thyroid disease, anemia, or electrolyte deficiencies. Sometimes this symptom remains for weeks or months following the event. You can learn how to pace your activities during the day to avoid feeling overly tired. Most people report improvements over time. There are some medications that may help as well. As far as diabetes is concerned, often by with Chat Doctor. Your primary doctor is best suited to manage this situation and will recommend medication, exercise activity to help you get into optimal physical shape and condition by losing excess weight, eating well, and sleeping the proper hours nightly. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Thank you.

I am 44, 5ft 10inches tall and weigh 12 and a half stone. I have felt really unwell for the past two months. All my blood tests are normal. I have had very strong pai in my neck which my dr thinks is a trapped nerve.All my pulses are fast and you can feel the blood running through them. I have had a headache and an upset stomach. I spent a week in hospital because the pain everywhere in my body was severe. They thought it was a virus, then an upset stomach, and then possibly gynacalogical. They discharged me and gave my a three week course of very strong antibiatics. I have lost a stone and a half in weight,i have not felt like eating. I stiil feel very tired weak, and the pai and pulsating is still present. I have an autistic son who is demanding and this makes my life very stressful. Can you please suggest anything.
|
Hi, Your problems of headache, abdominal discomfort, palpitations and tiredness can be due to various reasons. We need to evaluate them. First, you need to relax. Don't panic. Stress is the major reason for precipitation of these kinds of symptoms. Focus on your diet. Take plenty of water 2-3 liters, fruits, vegetables, and lots of salads. Avoid taking too much tea or coffee or oily and spicy food. Find time to go for walk or meditation. Have a good night sleep. You can start taking multivitamins also. If you still feel they symptoms are persisting then go for some investigations. I don't know which all tests you did, but I feel the most important is to complete blood count, vitamin D and B12 levels, TSH, calcium, Helicobacter pylori. Once the results are there you can talk to your doctor about the results. Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Hello, It looks that you had a neck strain. There is pull of muscle leading to compression of nerve supplying to forehead. You should do following to have relief in this- -Avoid any hard movement at your neck.-Apply warm compresses over your neck.-Wear a soft cervical color.-Take a mild analgesic like ibuprofen for relief. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care

My daughter did a leap in dance yesterday and landed hard on a flat foot. At the time, she experienced a pain that went up her body. Today she has pain up the right side of her body going up her leg to her lower back. Should I continue to rest her and alternate ice/heat for a day or two or does she need to go to a doctor now?
|
Hi, It could be due to contusion or sprain. Fracture is unlikely. As of now you can use analgesics/anti-inflammatory combination like diclofenac/seratiopeptdase for symptomatic relief. You can continue ice packs also. If symptoms persists better to consult an orthopaedician and get evaluated. In that case you might require an MRI scan. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dear Doctor,My son age 21, is undergoing treatment for I am told acute psychosis. He is in his final year of engineering. He suffered with High mood for a month followed by nervous breakdown for 3/4 days marked with unrelated & irrelevant talk, when medication was started under psychiatric treatment. We felt this all started with his repeated non achievement of academic goals. Today he feels helpless & worried about his future. which is increasing his anxiety.Cap Zypsidon 20 mg 0-0-1 Tab risdone plus 0-0-1/2Tab Lonazep 0-1-0Tab Macorate CR 300mg 0-1-1Tab pacitone 2 m g 1-0-0We still do not know his diagnosis. Please advice what alternative therapy like meditation/ self or guided hypnosis / exercise could be supplementary. Also suggest any other therapy which could be helpful.We are ready to do any thing possible to see that he lives normal life on his own.Look forward to your valuable guidance.
|
Hello... Thanks for your query. Based on the symptoms provided, your son seems to suffer from bipolar disorder. He is currently on a combination of mood stabilizers and antipsychotics which is appropriate in this case. Meditation, hypnosis and alternative therapies do not hold much value in treatment of psychosis or bipolar disorders. However, adequate sleep definitely has a protective role. Wish him good health.

I have undergone a nano peel the aesthetician steamed my face then started pricking the pimples which was really painful then after that the actual nano peel began using a machine with corundrum and crystals. After the procedure my face was very red. When I wake up this morning my face is still red and I feel like I ve got even more pimples and pimple marks on my face. Is this normal with that procedure? What do I do?
|
Hello. Thank you writing to us at Chat Doctor You seem to have developed irritation to the procedure. If I was the treating doctor I would suggest you to use a moderately potent topical steroid e.g. fluticasone propionate 0.05% cream, twice daily. Use it for 3-5 days only and then stop. That should make it fine. This is a prescription steroid and I suggest you to talk to your dermatologist for a confirmatory diagnosis as well as the needfulAvoid using soap on face. You may use a gentle cleanser for face wash e.g. detail cleansing procedure, twice daily. Always wear a sunscreen whenever out in the sun. Regards

Hello, Your problem seems like it has two roots. One is Performance anxiety - which could cause Erectile dysfunction and the other could be Stress... Sprays which contain anesthetics only help you to prolong your Climax, but it does not help with attaining or maintaining an erection. If these problems still persist consult your physician. I would say your problem is most likely due to the above psychological causes .thanks.

hi... i have recently been in and out of the dr/er for a pain on my right abdemen (about 2 weeks ago)... this morning i noticed a quarter size bruise at the site where its been hurting. I have done nothing to that area to get a bruise... im concerned. They threw out appendicitus and gall blatter but sonograms and bloodwork came out clear for that and all the test showed was high white blood count - gave me antibiotics as a trial run to see if pain went away. Im still not 100% well... and with this im just a tad bit concerned... Should I be?
|
Hi. Thanks for your query. Yes, you should be concerned as there is a bruise at a spot where you have pain in abdomen for the last 2 weeks and your white cell count is raised, History of Appendectomy and removal of the gall bladder and ultrasonography later noted. The possible diagnosis is a development of cellulitis and / or an abscess at this site under the skin. I would advise you the following:Get a clinical evaluation and physical examination to see for the abscess development, If positive get operated as the pus has to be Chat Doctor. , Also get a course of an antibiotic and anti-inflammatory medicines like Ibuprofen

Hi. My blood pressure was 154 over 76 2 hours after lunch time, and was 146 over 72 this morning after waking up. I have pain on my left kidney area, some pain in my left rib cage, and sometimes dizziness. My mom had a history of Diabetes, high BP, CHF, and I am 44 years old, 188 lbs and 5 ft 11 inches.
|
Hi, your blood pressure is certainly high, and you need to monitor blood pressure frequently. Have low salt diet, low fat, sugar, diet. Regular exercises and get your lipid profile and sugars tested once. You need to start on medicine and I usually start my patient on tab Telmisartan 40 mg once a day. You can discuss this issue with local doctor. Still you need to keep track of BP so that its should be controlled and will not affect kidney and heart. Regarding your pain it can be gastritis and kidney problem is less likely. However you avoid spicy, oily food, avoid alcohol, smoking if any, and try tab pantoprazole 40 before breakfast once a day. You can do one ultrasound abdomen done which can make picture Clear.

My husband has a baseball size lump on the top front of his shoulder. It feels like a soft ball, but squishier. It is under the skin. He had not noticed it until tonight. Could something this large, grow this fast? There is no pain, it just feels tight when he raises his arm out. It looks quite odd. Any ideas?

Hi, Dear,Thanks for the query to Chat Doctor.-I went through your query in-depth and Understood your health concernsRemedy and Cause-In my opinion lump in front of top of the Shoulder-is Sebaceous Cyst.-But could be fibromyoma/ Lipoma-as being painless went unnoticed till this time-So growth is not in a day but over many months or yrs. Its only today you noticed remedy advised-a-Consult an ER surgeon.b-Get the Clinical reasoning from Him. If its SEBACEOUS CYST-Excision after Nucleation in tools the curative treatment for it.c-If its benign tumor suspected by your Surgeon-FNAC BIOPSY would fix the tumor nature and would plan treatment by Excision / Nucleation of the benign lump. Hope this would help you to work a plan with your doctor. Wishing you early and fast recovery. Wellcome to my Chat Doctor Clinic for further queries in this matter. Wishing you Good Health ASAP.

|
Hello, Thank you for posting on Chat Doctor. I appreciate your concern regarding hair fall. Hair fall is usually ascribed to multiple factors like diet and nutrition, hormones, stress, acute or chronic medical conditions, Chat Doctor. From your description, it seems you might be having Halogen Effluvium, which is hairball secondary to stress.(Vitamin B12 deficiency)If I were your dermatologist/trichologist, I would like to take through history including family history, history of recent major trauma/illness/stress/medications etc. and recommend some basic investigations like CBC, blood sugar, Thyroid function test. Some other special investigations like pictogram and endoscopy and further aid in diagnosis and prognosis. I would suggest you a course of oral tablets containing biotin and other essential vitamins and minerals for minimum 3 months. Also, would put you on solution containing 5%/10% minoxidil once a day and a hair serum containing peptides for hair growth at night.(Q era etc.). I would advise use of gentle shampoo and conditioner on regular basis and use of coconut oil twice a week. Also inquire from your dermatologist about upcoming treatment options like monotherapy and platelet-rich plasma. Avoid combing in wet hair and let them

Hello doctor,I am a heart patient, and I am on Plavix and Aspirin. I have multiple blockages in my legs. Is it possible for a clot to form in legs, and then it moves to the heart, causing a heart attack when I soak my legs in hot water to relieve my restless leg syndrome? Similarly, can multiple clots in the heart be a cause for my restless leg syndrome that occurs in my right leg alone?
|
Hello. I assume that you have blockages in arteries, and if blockages are in arteries, then they will not migrate to the heart. Instead, there will be a pain while walking, and if it is severe, it may lead to gangrene. If blockages are in veins, then they will migrate to the heart and lungs. As you have multiple clots, then we can suspect that there might be some damage to your nerves, causing the symptoms. I suggest taking a tablet, Neurobion (vitamin B complex supplements), and Pregabalin.

I just woke up with pain in my chest around my left breast. Lasted for about three to five minutes. If I tried to roll over or take in a deep breath. It would feel someone was stretching my heart. My husband rubbed some muscle relaxer cream over the area and it seemed to release. I was able to sit up. But was so scared. I started to have a panic attack. I feel a dull ache still there, feel a little gas in my belly. I dont have a history of reflux. Ive been under a lot of stress lately. Afraid to go back to bed.
|
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. By your history and description, possibility of musculoskeletal pain is more. And no need to panic at all. This pain is mostly due to bad postures during sleep. So first be relaxed and calm. Avoid stress and tension. Avoid heavyweight lifting and strenuous exercise. Avoid movements causing pain. Avoid bad postures during sleep. Start painkiller and muscle relaxant Chat Doctor. Since, these are prescribed medicines, you need to consult doctor for them. Don't worry, you will be alright.

Hello doctor,I recently suffered severe chest pains. Blood results were all fine but heart sonar indicated a 3 mm patent foramen ovale. I just want to know if there is a need for treatment.
|
Hi. Small PFO (patent foramen ovale) is usually silent but may cause a stroke or pulmonary embolism if thrombus travels across it from right to left or left to right respectively. Moreover, your report says aneurysm of 12 mm, that needs consideration. I would suggest transesophageal echo to study it in detail. Usually, PFO is closed by the device but an aneurysm may need surgery. So, I advise you to have a transesophageal echo done and then plan will be decided accordingly. Take care.

just wondering if it is possible to live through undiagnosed appendicitis? instead of vomiting, it was diarrhea. then constipation, mostly diarrhea for months. literally felt like being stabbed for 10 months, before the pain was dulled by pain meds. they had to be increased up to 100mg. s of oxycodone a day, and i finally got so sick, i vomited ,hallucinated and my upper right abdomen and right kidney was hurting. but after receiving antibiotics, i am no longer on pain meds, tho i do believe i suffered alot of damage to my peritoneal membrane. this happened immediately after robotic surgery, which happened right after exploratory showed pus wheths before ovaries had been removed 3 months before. three weeks after ovaries were removed, i hurt myself trying to save my neighbor, when she went into respiratory arrest. the infection was, i believe, misdiagnosed as blood clots. after all this, i don t have any money in the bank right now. but i will on june 3rd, if you ll keep this and send me an email to answer. YYYY@YYYY
|
Hi ! Good morning. I am Chat Doctor answering your query. The diarrhea and pain could have been due to the pus in the pelvis which might have irritated the colon and so the resulting diarrhea. In case it was an appendicular abscess, many times there is no reason to look for a persisting appendix again, as the whole appendix might have got sloughed of its own in the process of infection and formation of an abscess. Now that you have got relief, continue with the treatment of your treating doctor. However, in case of recurrence of the pain, you have to get yourself reviewed by your surgeon again at the time of abdominal pain. 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 been experiencing a stinging/Burning feeling when I pee, and occasionally notice pink spots on the toilet paper. I assumed it was a UTI so Ive been drinking cranberry juice for the past two days, but the burning has not gone away. I havent had sex since the burning feeling started, 4 days ago. I cant visit a doctor due to not having health insurance. Are there any home remedies, I can use to get rid of this?

**1. Ideally urine sample should be sent for culture- sensitivity and colony count, before initiating treatment. As soon as the result of sensitivity test is available, treatment is started [or changed, if already started] according to maximum sensitivity.2. Since you don't have health insurance, even then predisposing factors to infection like: obstruction, calculus, diabetes should be properly identified and managed/treated [for which opinion of urologist is necessary since he may distinguish lower tract infection from upper urinary tract infection]3. Take plenty of water and fluids. Avoid: hot/spicy foods, salt, garlic,mustard oil, citrus fruits, alcohol,excess physical exertion. Take: Jagger with cold water, coconut water, amla, dates, musk melon, watermelon. A few teaspoons of baking soda diluted in cup of water, followed by at least 2 cups of water is effective. You may ask for prescription medicines like: tab Calgary, tab/syrup cyst one, Chandon Assam, usher Assam.

Wondering what is causing my lung pain. Background: Worsens both with activity/movement, and whilst lying down. Sitting still provides relief. Seems related to my menstrual cycle - over past year it is worst either during, or just before, menstruation. I ve been checked for heart issues - tests came up clear. Also had CT for chest to check for clots, came up clear. I have existing conditions: recurring stage 4 endometriosis in bowel and reproductive organs, PCOS and ongoing joint pain.
|
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. In my opinion you are having anxiety related chest symptoms mostly. Since your all cardiac and pulmonary tests are normal, no need to worry about major organic disease. It is anxiety mostly. You are also having endometriosis and PCs (poly cystic ovarian disease). Both these diseases are associated with stress and anxiety. So I advise you to consult psychiatrist and get done counselling sessions. Try to identify stressor in your life. And work out solution for the same. You may require anxiolytic Chat Doctor. So avoid stress and tension. Be relax and calm.

I have been having pain in my abdomen area on my right side for a few months now. It almost feels like it did when I was pregnant and the baby would push on my side. The only difference is that this pain is persistent and doesn t go away. It is very uncomfortable and wakes me at night sometimes. What are some of the things that can be causing it.
|
Hello. Thanks for writing to us. Persistent pain on the right side of the abdomen can be due to a liver pathology or a renal problem. Gall bladder problems also cause pain on right side of abdomen. Other causes can be intestinal motility or a pelvic pathology. To know the exact cause investigations like ultrasound scan are necessary. I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.

I have been having pain and aches in between my shoulders since yesterday and my lower back ,bad headache today chest and stomach pain and leg cramps bad. sometimes its like a knife being pushed in between my shoulders ,some blured vison, just don t feel right.
|
Here as per your explanation looks like pain in between your shoulder could be due to muscle weakness for the same place, or it can be due to spinal curve loss at cervical level. Again you also have pain for your Lowe back means either it can be spinal muscle weakness or loss of curve at lumbar level. Along with this spinal pain if you have anything like numbness or tingling sensation then it could be nerve compression at respected level with disc problem also. But if you have pain only at spinal level and there is no radiating pain to hand or leg then it can be related to bone weakness, muscle weakness or there is something called as ankylosing spondylitis. However the conformation can be done only with MRI and blood test for Ankylosing spondylitis. As per the report you can visit orthopedic and plan for your treatment. For severe cases here he will suggest for surgical option and for mild issues he will suggest for physiotherapy treatment with spinal exercises and few medications.However even after surgery also physiotherapy advice for posture and spinal exercises advice is very important so go ahead and follow it. Along with this you can also use hot and cold pack at home for some more relief. Headache also can be related with spinal problem and should improve along with this treatment. Apart from this for your gastric issue it may or may not be related with this. In case if it is relates with your spinal health then that will also improve with spinal health. And if it's not improving then I suggest changing your lifestyle and diet habits TK healthy habits. And even after that if there is no result then you need to visit a specialist for this for proper evaluation and treatment. Take care.

I fell on my knee on the concrete 1 month ago. The area was bruised and scabbed. It has since healed, but there is now a large hard lump on my knee cap. It is about the size of a gumball. Does no feel fluid filled. It is in fact very hard like bone, but is only mildly tender when touched. What is it? Will it go away?
|
Hi, Greetings from Chat Doctor. Since you fell on a concrete slab you must have suffered a hematoma in the knee. Once hematoma is organized it will feel like a hard swelling instead of fluid. You need to give cold compresses to prevent it getting bigger. You also need to take paracetamol and diclofenac tablets to get relief. It will take a long time to resolve spontaneously. You better go to an orthopedic and Chat Doctor. Hope you will be fine

I have back pain from an injury at work, pulling a patine out of a broken window. It was recently exacerbated by injections of Lidocaine to evaluate for possible ablation. I am currently on 300mg Gabapentin TID, increased from 200mg TID (increase started today.) I still dont know where or what the pain comes from, I have had a recent MRI that is inconclusive. Thank you,Tom Wichman YYYY@YYYY
|
Hi there. Taking simple Gabapentin alone probably will not relieve your symptoms. You might be suffering from strain to the back muscles. Firstly I would advise a period of bed rest for or about 2 weeks on a firm bed. This is the minimum time needed for healing. Take an analgesic with a muscle relaxant. Local analgesic gel a heat massage can be done. Avoid bending forward and lifting any sort of weight. Pregabalin is a good substitute for Gabapentin. I hope my advice has helped. Good luck

i have lichen planuspilaris in my scalp. I am losing my hair daily. I have tried emuaid. and herbals stuff like stinging nettle, horsetails. omega 3,6,9, plus creams given by dermatologists.. I am stressing out over losing my hair and I don t know what to do.
|
Hello. Thanks for writing to us at Chat Doctor Lichen Plano Polaris (LPP) is one of the causes of Cicatrices Alopecia (irreversible loss of hair) of the scalp.LPP is characterized clinically by follicular lesions, scaling and loss of hair leaving behind smooth atrophic patches and hyperpigmentation. The disease tends to spread at the periphery. The therapies that you have tried are not specific to LPP. Specific treatment of LPP is with Oral steroids which would arrest further progression as well as reverse early damage. Oral steroids are usually given in pulse doses and may be required to be continued for 4-6 months. Topical treatment is with potent topical steroid lotions with or without salicylic acid. I would suggest that you seek another appointment with your dermatologist. Your dermatologist will assess the condition and prescribe accordingly. Regards

I am 27 years ord with ADD and limit depression at times. I am currently taking 150 mg bubropion/voxra and 100 mg setralin/zoloft. I feel sometimes tired and dosed, sometimes it feels great and some not. Should I just consult with my doctor to take one of those medications or do I possible need both of those?
|
Hello, I think that your description of how you feel with your medication is very good to carry with you to your next appointment with your doctor. I always like to encourage patients to speak frankly with their physicians about medicines they've been prescribed and to tell the doctor without fear or hesitation if something seems to be making a difference or not. He/she is the best one to determine your need for different doses, dosing schedules, or the inclusion of adjunct medications. It is especially important to realize that some of these medications used for depression and ADD can have Chat Doctor.

Hi doctor,Please explain the relationship between a sinus problem and pregnancy. Does sinus infection be a reliable sign of pregnancy? Why does pregnancy trigger sinus issues in some women?
|
Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor forum. A lot of women have an increase in sinus congestion during pregnancy. It happens due to the increased level of estrogen during pregnancy which tends to cause vasodilation generally. Hence, they have improved blood flow through the nasal and sinus passages. It leads to symptoms such as runny or blocked nasal passages, congested sinuses, and even sinusitis. It is not a reliable sign of early pregnancy. This symptom comes along with other symptoms to indicate pregnancy. Some women who tend to have sinusitis may not be able to tell it. Women who are not usually prone to sinusitis may have it as a positive sign of pregnancy with few other symptoms.

my father is 84 yo and is having open prostatectomy, he has a coronary stent and a pacemaker, he has beign taking baby aspirin that was stop almost a week ago, his cardiologist s to put him on a low molecular weight heparin, 40 mg sc once a day. I guess in this case we should outweight the benefits of DVT against bleeding, any comments
|
Thanks for your question on Healthcare on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Yes, definitely, complications like bleeding is more common than DVT at his age of 84 years. And for prevention of DVT, you can give nonmedical measures like lower limb movements, compression stockings etc. These measures prevent DVT without increasing risk for bleeding. So in my opinion, you should discuss these with your doctors and convince them for not using low molecular weight heparin. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your father. Thanks.

Hi thanks for contacting Chat Doctor... Here your physical examination necessary including auscultation also. ... First investigate with your CBC to rule out anemia .... If hemoglobin level is low .... In anemia tissue can't get enough oxygen when exertion done .... So correct it if present with tablet or injections.... Second measure your blood pressure and rule out cardiac causes by ECG or Echo. If needed treadmill test also done. . If heart failure or any other cardiac disease present treated accordingly ...... If still cause not clear chest x-ray done . Consult pulmonologist and discuss all these .... Take care....

I have an 8yr old that has been having headaches and dizzy spells for 2 weeks now, the headaches are in her temples and hurt like a stabbing pain. We have been to numerous drs and her sinus are clear ears are clear bad am MRI done this week and it all looked good. Tonight she has yellow bloody snot. They thought it was vision or migraines??
|
Yellow blood stained snot is not unusual in case of a respiratory tract infection and not a cause for concern. But it could be related to sinusitis which in turn could be the cause of the headache that she is suffering. Sinusitis is often hard to treat as they have poor blood supply and hence the medicines cannot properly reach there. Taking steam inhalation should provide relief. Water in form of vapor can reach deep into the sinuses and help in diluting the cough. There is indeed a possibility that the headache is due to migraine or visual problems. These would not be evident on tests like MRI. Clinical correlation and vision testing is needed.

hi, I am 42 overweight , I am not sure if i am hypertensive. every time I go into the doctors office I ve read high on the blood pressure monitors and when i try to do it myself it reads high but the machines make me panic. being squeezed on the arm like that freaks me out.. so not sure if i just have a phobia against being squeezed or if something is going on. I don t smoke . I have allergies. I have an allergy to cats and live with three of them. 3 weeks ago I was cleaning out the spare room. there was a large box that I needed to get to the basement. It was empty but big. I ran down teh stairs with it than ran up all three flights of stairs. My heart was beating fast (but probably in the normal fast category for running up and down three flights of stairs , (for me) and I had a really hard time catching my breath. it took a few minutes it seemed like. or at least a minute it seemed like a long time. Then when my heart was back to normal and my breath was caught up I had a pain in my right lower shoulder blade. It lasted another day. It hurt when breathing in or touching it. should I be concerned? does it sound like heart probs or asthma?

I was told 9 years ago I could not have a baby naturally as I have only one ovary I was told that the only Fallopian tube I have is blocked however I am around 2 and a half weeks late Last night I did a pregnancy test which showed negative but I still have not come on ! I have symptoms of pregnancy Could I still be pregnant?
|
Less likely if the pregnancy test is negative, but you can still wait for a day or two and repeat a pregnancy test with early morning first urine sample which is most accurate. Delayed period could be due to variety of reasons like stress hormonal imbalance, change in weight suddenly etc., so if pregnancy test comes negative consult your doctor once to get the reason for delayed period and appropriate medication for same.

Since Feb 26, Ive had diarrhea or very loose stools. Last weekend (a week later) my right side was tender so I went to the dr who ran tests and sonogram and the sonogram came back with gallstones. The bloodwork came back with a high white blood cell count. Im still waiting on the stool results. Ive had a low grade fever 99-100.2 for over a week. I have pressure on my tailbone and anus. Could all these symptoms be related to the gallstones or could it be somwthing in addition to?
|
Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns. Gall stones may cause some abdominal discomfort including abdominal cramps, diarrheas, nausea or vomit, but it should not cause anal pressure of any kind. High WBC count is usually sign of infection or inflammation, and it may be elevated if there is acute inflammation of gallbladder but is usually is associated with pain under right rib cage. If you don't have it then you should look for another cause of fever such as enterocolitis and stool analysis results are required or this. Later, you can consult surgeon about surgery need, but you should not rush with it. I hope I have answered your query. Wish you good health.

Just recovered from a virus that caused extreme fatigue and mostly affected my lungs (breathing, coughing). Now over that I have a dry, hacky cough that makes it extremely hard to sleep. I even wake up wanting to vomit and am experiencing some mild incontinence for the last 5 days.
|
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. In my opinion, you are mostly having post infectious bronchitis. It is common after viral upper respiratory tract infection. Bronchitis causes worsening office cough, breathlessness especially at night. And due to this, abdominal pressure rises and this causes incontinence. So better to consult pulmonologist and get done clinical examination of respiratory system and PFT (Pulmonary Function Test). PFT will also tell you about severity of the disease and treatment of bronchitis 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. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.

I have sharp chest pain on my left side and my left arm feels very uncomfortable and I feel tingling in my left hand. Even if I laugh I will feel a sharp pain in the same area. Could it be gas? Also it feels a little agitated in my neck, also on the left side.
|
Hello, I have studied your case and I want to warn you that this is not gas at all. It can be pain of heart problem known as MI. It is a serious condition, and you need to visit ER as soon as possible. If there is ECG then you will need urgent intervention if form of medications. I would suggest you to do not waste any more time. I hope this answer will be useful for you. Let me know if there is any other followup questions. Thanks

I had surgery 3 years ago to remove a necrotic gall bladder. I was extremely ill. Today I experience considerable internal pain around the scar area accompanied by what appears to be the movement of my internal organs. It is extremely uncomfortable. Please help
|
Hi.it is residual scar pain due to the constant irritation of the nerve endings devised during the surgical process. These are all highly nervous innervated areas with more pain radiating to the inner organs please apply some local pain relieving creams like(volini-diclofenac gel) for temporary relief local application of ice, or steroid based creams a help. Please go for a repeat ultrasound abdomen to rule out for any local reinfection. Thank you. Take care

My husband was misdiagnosed in A&E in November with Malaria. His test was negative and he was told he had a virus. Five days later he was hallucinating and collapsed as he had cerebal malaria. A month later he got. Post infection encephalitis. He was in a coma and it has took 7 months for him to return to work. The hospital admitted they didnt follow correct protocol of three blood tests 12 hours apart before giving a negative or positive diagnosis. Should we sue the hospital for original mis diagnosis? This could have resulted in his death.
|
Hi, Thank you for posting your query. We need to see the entire case details to establish whether there was negligence on the part of doctor or hospital. However, in the light of information you have provided, it could be a case of medical negligence. So, you can contemplate a legal action. I hope it helps.

Hi, im 14 and am worried about my penis, it looks almost like a micropenis when flacid but is only like 3 inches when erect. When Its is erect, you can see loads of little white spots and I also cannot retract my foreskin. My left testicle is Much smaller than my right and I have a lot of pubic hair, quite a bit of armpit hair, im getting quite a bit of hair on my legs and my voice is starting to break. What is wrong with me?
|
Hello.welcome to Chat Doctor .1. Do not worry about the size, it will grow how much it supposes to be, and nothing any doctor can do regarding size, its natural thing.2. Comming to white spots- its needs to be examined, and get treated.3. Foreskin retraction, you should slowly practice pulling it back gradually, and it will stretch. If completely it's not possible - Needs a circumcision to be done, or else it will lead to infections in long run. 4. Comming to your hair growth, its normal entity. Take care. Hope helped. Anything to ask ? Do not hesitate. Thank you.

Hello. Ive had lower back pain for a few days now. It s hurting in my lower back, butt and into my shin on my left leg. I went to the ER yesterday because I couldn t stand the pain anymore. He didn t do any exrays or MRI but he said it appeared to be my sciatic nerve and said I was having muscle spasms because my thigh muscle was jumping. He gave me a steroid shot and sent me home. I woke up an hour or so ago and both my legs and both my arms are tingling . Is this cause for concern? Do I need to go back to the ER?
|
Hi, Thank you for posting your query. The initial problem with which you went to the ER is suggestive of nerve compression in the lumbar (lower back) region. This is commonly caused by the prolapse (bulging) of the disc. Common symptoms include lower back pain, pain in the legs, tingling, numbness, etc. It can be diagnosed with the help of MRI. If symptoms persist, you can get the MRI done. Your second problem of tingling of arms is probably not serious and is due to compression of nerves while sleeping. It should recover in a short span of time and there is no need to go back to the ER. Best wishes, Chat Doctor.
