Hi, Kindly take your medications regularly as instructed by your doctor. Finish the entire course. Weakness is usually common in typhoid and during recovery from the illness. Kindly have a good proteinaceous diet for speedy recovery like boiled chicken or chicken soup. Stay away from spicy food items. Eat rice and curd. Chat Doctor. Also, kindly take multivitamin supplements orally daily three times a day for early recovery.

My daughter has a frontal headache and fever of 102. My dad gave her 160 mg of acetaminophen about 6 oclock. It has not helped her fever. Her neck is not stiff. Her throat hurts a little, but she described it as achy, not scratchy like a traditional sore throat.
|
Hi Dear, Welcome to Chat Doctor. Understamding your concern. As per your query your daughter is suffering from headache, fever and pain throat which seems to be infection from streptococcal bacteria leading to strep throat. It could be due to viral infection as well. Need not worry about it. You should visit pediatrician once and get it examined. You should start medication after lab tests, blood tests and proper diagnosis. Till then give antibiotic along with Ibuprofen / Acetaminophen. Give anti histamine such as Levocetrizine to her. Avoid use of cold liquid substances. Give her steam inhalation. Use mist humidifiers in her room. Avoid spicy, sharp and oily food. Give diet rich in multivitamins. Hope your concern has been resolved. Get Well Soon. Best Wishes,

i had sex with my boyfriend 2 nights ago..he didnt ejaculate but the condom broke. last night we had sex again and the tip of the broken condom came out of me. i was unaware that it was there all day. is that safe? is there a chance i could get pregnant because of that?
|
Hello dear, I understand your concern. In my opinion as the condom broke there might be risk of pregnancy. My aim is not to make you tense but just giving you explanation.Don't worry. The risk might be there if it was your ovulation period otherwise the chances are rare. Anyways wait and check for the period. If at all the period is delayed consider doing a urine pregnancy test. Avoid stress. And check for the period. Best regards...

I there i am Chauncey McEachern im 20 years old i find ive been having to pee alot i got tested back in april, may and i find im not thirsty really but im having to pee alot for some reason this past little while i dont why but its a little strange the tests i had done, said i was fine but i dont know what could be causing this. I find im tired alot of the time too. I may not be getting enough sleep like i maybe am getting 6-7 hours a night but i dont know hopefully theres nothing wrong
|
Hi, Thanks for writing in. The commonest cause of increased urination a age is from severe urinary infection. The urinary tract is occupied by many bacteria and this leads to the increased frequency and urge to pass urine. Other causes like diabetes is less likely at your age. Anxiety itself might cause increased urine formation leading to getting up frequently at night to visit the washroom. Please Chat Doctor. Doing a urine culture and sensitivity test is also important. It will tell the severe it of infection and if you require a short course of antibiotics to be taken for 5 to 7 days. A urine alkalizer is also good to take. Please do not worry.

Sorry if my english is bad, i m Dutch (14 years old) I have a little problem, on the skin of my back. I first found out just a few minutes ago. I went to the living room because i had a stinging pain in my left armpit, and while I was typing this my right armpit also began to ache. probably just a little infected sweat gland. I ve had this before. But now, the real problem. I did a few sit-ups in bed (because if i do it on the ground my ... lumbar curve (Spine Anatomy site)? hurts) Then i went to the living, like i told U before. And when i lifted my shirt so they could look, they saw something on my back when i turned to walk away. There are/were dark yellowish on each vertebra (on the part of the spine that sticks out and that you can see with meager persons, like me :D). They don t hurt or anything, only a small burned feeling if i rub over them. So... long story short: I did a few sit-ups in bed (about 30-40, supporting my neck with my hands when my neck got tired , saw darkish yellow spots on each vertebra or bulb or whatever, They don t hurt or anything, just a burned feeling when i rub the bulb . So, what is this? When does it go away? Is it bad/normal? What s the cause? Thanks in advance Again, sorry for bad english and if i misused the terms, i just quickly looked on the internet to see what it is called in english

Hello Doctor, My daughter is 4 years old and she is suffering from Adeniods. My family doctor had stated that it is 80% and it is good to undergo surgery. Can you please let us know if it is mandatory. Can we cure that using non-surgical methods or with Homeopathy? Please do give us your thoughts
|
Thanks for consulting at Chat Doctor. Adenoids may become infected and remain enlarged or chronically infected, and subsequently lead to obstructed breathing, snoring / sleep apnea, sinus or ear infections, or other problems. In such cases adenoidectomy surgery is advised. As for any surgery, adenoidectomy also has some risks, benefits. Ask your doctor in detail about potential risks, benefits and complications.

Doctor, hie I have a pricky feeling which is uncomfortable which is uncomfortable and it especially becomes a problem when I have been seated then I stand up. The pricking feeling becomes uncomfortable for a while. When I remain standing for sometime it is restored.
|
Hi I am Chat Doctor. . In my opinion it is due to nerve compression or a mild stage of sciatica which is nerve coming out of spine and supplying your leg over sitting may cause its compression. It is received by some relaxation, avoid sitting on hard objects for a long time, painkillers, muscle relaxants, hot massages with topical gels, B12 multivitamins are more than effective with such cases if not I suggest CT, MRI to exclude spinal herniation. Please click THANK YOU and consider a 5-star rating with some positive feedback if the information was helpful. Hope the above information helps you, Any further clarifications feel free to ask.

Hello doctor,I am a 18-year-old male. I recently believe in having been suffering, and possibly still do, derealization and depersonalization from drug usage (tetrahydrocannabinol, psilocybin or psilocin), and I am currently recovering. Would future usage of these drugs under a better mindset create the same symptoms for me?
|
Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor forum. Depersonalization and derealisation symptoms can occur more in people experiencing anxiety. Using cannabis and Psychedelics like Psilocybin can trigger depersonalization or derealisation symptoms. It can persist for varying periods, sometimes lasting for weeks and months. It is difficult to predict how you will react if you use these ChatDoctor. As you have already experienced, your mental health and wellbeing can be adversely affected by using these

Yes, Thank you? Why would a nurse ask me if I am circumcised? I m sure there is a good reason, but when I asked my nurse to explain why she asked that question, she simply refused and changed the subject. Is there a health-related reason for asking that question, or possibly some other reason?Thank you.

Hello dear, Thank you for your contact to Chat Doctor. I read and understand your concern. I am Chat Doctor answering your concern. Circumcision has some advantage. Like it has some preventive values in the penile malignancy. It has therapeutic value in the fibrosis, means narrowing of meats. So you may be having one of the above two conditions. This is the role of this surgery. In other way it has no disadvantage. So if you go for it, you will not have any problems. I will be happy to answer your further concern on bit.ly/ Chat Doctor.

I also recieved steroid shot for the itching. My surgeon put me on Clindamycin also incase the test came back it was Mersa. So Im taking all of this medication & it is slowy starting to look just a bit better but what is my next step. Is mixed skin flora dangerous & can cause more serious things & where does it come from? Could I have caught it frm the hosp I had my surgery at like a staph infection? Please help Im kind of at a lost right now. thank you, Gina R.

You might have developed an allergic reaction to it, Apply a mild steroid lotion like demonize, Also take an antihistamine tablet. This will give you some relief.

I am a 30 year old female with elevated liver enzymes and elevated D-Dimer. I went to the ER about a month ago for chest pain. I had been having it for 5 days and was really scared. They did a D-Dimer test on me and the result was elevated, therefore I was checked for a pulmonary embolizm which was negative. Im wondering why these results were elevated, I got no answers from the ER physican (except it was probably GERD) and no answers from my primary care physican. Since pregnancy Ive suffered from chronic pain, weakness, and migraines. Im exhausted from the pain and I dont know what to do. Because Im young, every doctor I go to just blows me off. Please help!
|
Thank you posting your query.it maybe a false-positive result (D-dimer). Maybe sampling error for the elevated liver enzymes.i advice re-evaluation. Kindly repeat following test:1. CBC (complete blood cell count)2. Liver Function Test3. Clotting Profile (PT, apt, D-dimer)4. H. Pylori (Stool antigen test or urea breath test)Then you may post the test results to me OR any gastroenterologist@ChatDoctor OR visit your treating physician.

looks like i have a similar issue to others on here. I have been experiencing tremendous pain near my left hip socket and recently noticed what feels like a small ball/knot near the location of the pain. I wondered if it wasn t a knotted tendon or something. it should be noted that I have metal pins in my hips (one on each side).
|
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. By your history and description, possibility of implant infection and abscess is more. Metal pins (implant) in the hip joint can be infected. And if infection is more severe than this can cause local site abscess formation. Abscess cause pain and swelling at the joint. So better to consult orthopedic doctor and get done clinical examination and ultrasound examination of affected hip joint. You may need antibiotics and surgical removal of abscess. Hope I have solved your query. Wish you good health. Thanks.

Hello, Its good that you have responded nicely to citalopram as it is a mild Chat Doctor. It's good to take it for 3-6months and then taper it and stop completely. Taking it for such long duration has been decided by- lot of research, and it is based - on the fact that the relapse rate is minimum after taking med for this much time.

Hi..My self Vipin I have a question regarding my 6.5 year old son, he is suffering from fever from past 8 days....We met to pediatric Doctor, initially they prescribed Children Tylenol for 5-6 days but still fever comes in/out. Then again we met same Doctor this time they prescribed Amoxicilin antibiotic (5ml three times in a day) for my son, we continuing Amoxicilin from two days but still fever comes in/out (when we give Tylenol his fever gets down but again after 4-5 hr. it comes back). Please advise. Thanks Vipin
|
Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns. As per your details, 8 days old fever should be evaluated with blood test, X-ray chest. In case of viral fever, fever spike goes every 6 hours, better to give Tylenol every 6 hourly to prevent fever induced fits. Kindly evaluate with pediatrician, as already he is on antibiotic. Hope, I have answered your query, all the best, take care.

Hello. If the surgery was done at an earlier age then the prognosis is good. Prognosis also depends on the size of ASD and whether a pulmonary vascular obstruction is present or not. If no pulmonary vessel obstruction is present then the prognosis is very good. As far as risk is concerned ASD patient sometimes can develop atrial arrhythmia like condition in the future. Take care.

Hi, Usually we analyze a genotype on the clinical background, which is missing in the query. Anyhow, I will throw some highlights.

Usually we order this test when there are some abnormal facial appearance or skeletal anomalies. These child Chat Doctor. But the proportion and severity of features vary among patients.

Hello doctor,My friend is 20 years old, female. Before some days ago she was sense less on a train and then this again happened with her. She consulted a doctor and he says that she is suffering from the first stage of conversion reaction disease. But the doctor could not suggest any medicines but he says that the last stage of this disease is paralysis. Doctor says to my friend that do not take any tension and to keep her mind free all the time. She was feeling weak what will she do?
|
Hello. I have read and completely understand that you feel quite concerned for your friend. As you have mentioned that she has been diagnosed by the doctor as having conversion disorder, it is quite probable that she may undergo these conversion attacks at any time. There are purely psychological reasons behind this disorder, no medical cause lead to this condition. Therefore, generally, no medical treatment could be found a cure for these attacks. If the doctor has suggested this diagnosis after complete assessment then there may be no further need for the tests. If complete testing has not been administered yet then you may go to a psychologist for confirming the diagnosis after keenly observing her medical test reports. Needs to be differentiated for the types of conversion disorder according to the DSM-5 (diagnostic and statistical manual of mental disorder) criteria. Conversion disorder. Generally, no particular medication is prescribed for conversion disorder. However, some doctors may suggest medication after observing the patient\s current condition (beware these medications would reduce anxiety or tension but would not cure the conversion disorder). The effective treatment for conversion disorder is found to be psychotherapy. Consult any psychologist or psychiatrist specialized in conducting psychotherapy sessions. Or you can suggest some online consultation sessions. Treatment mode can be cognitive behavioral therapy plus psycho-education. Must take expert guidance on how to deal with the patient behaviorally. Family members, closed ones of such patients also need guidance because their mishandling can increase the frequency of conversion attacks. Do take follow-up if you feel the need. Take care.

I recently haven`t been eating much, and now when I do, especially sweets, my chest hurts. I had a handful of M and M`s and now the lower right part of my chest hurts. I tried drinking water but when I swallow it just hurts more. It isn`t anything severe, just a dull and uncomfortable pain. Why is this?
|
Hello dear, thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. In my opinion you are having HERD (Castro Esophageal Reflux Disease). It is due to laxity of gastroesophageal sphincter. Because of this the acid of the stomach tends to come up in the esophagus and cause the symptoms. And chocolate (coco) is dilator of lower esophageal sphincter. So actually worsens reflux. So try to follow these steps for better symptomatic relief. 1. Avoid hot and spicy food. 2. Avoid large meals, instead take frequent small meals. 3. Avoid stress and anxiety. 4. Start proton pump inhibitor. 5. Go for walk after meals. 6. Keep 2 - 3 pillows under head in the bed. 7. Take less chocolates.

|
Hello Your semen analysis findings may indicate semen infection with borderline sperm motility. Infection is indicated due to presence of few pus cells in semen. Normally semen shouldn't contain any pus cells. You may need investigations like routine hologram, random blood sugar, semen culture and sensitivity. You may need to take antibiotics based on culture and sensitivity report. Motility is borderline. Normally it should be at least 55 %. Your findings suggest over all 60% motility, so it is borderline. Sperm count is normal. Normally it should be at least 20 millions/ml. Fertility is expected to increase with control of infection. If infertility persists then you may need assisted fertilization techniques. Get well soon. Take Care Chat Doctor.

Hi and welcome to Chat Doctor. Thank you for your quarry. It sounds like stomach issue. All this is caused by high acid secretion which is found in gastritis, HERD or hiatus hernia. These disorders can cause such difficulties, and you should do gastrostomy to evaluate this. Symptoms that are experienced in such conditions are pain and tightness in upper stomach, bloating, breathing difficulties, heartburn, feeling of lump and sore in throat, gurgling sound in throat, fatigue and loss of appetite. Symptoms are aggravated after meal, long sitting, leaning forward, stress and anxiety. In the beginning this is treated by changing dietary habits. You should avoid alcohol, coffee, smoking, fats and fast food, carbonated Chat Doctor. 1 hour after meal you should not sit or lay. Also lay with elevated upper body. If you are overweight you should do often exercise. Secondly, there are antacid medicines which are usually helpful, you should consult your GP about this. If symptoms persist, you should do gastrostomy and stomach biopsy to verify is there Helicobacter pylori infection which can be treated then. Hope I have answered your query. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help

I have a small rash that itches on my face. It had originally looked like a ring worm my husband thought. It never made a complete circle but it did get a little discolored in the middle. I have not treated it with anything and I have had about 1 month. I am in the sun alot. Any suggestions?
|
Hello. Thank you for writing to USI suggest a possibility of either Tina facial Or a Polymorphic light eruption/ POLE. Fungal infections have a typical morphology i.e. peripheral expanding, raised, red and scaly rim and central clearing. The ring may be partial or complete.POLE may present as an eruption of red bumps or patches over sun exposed skin. The lesions in POLE are usually itchy but lack a characteristic ring shaped morphology of fungal infections. However, it may be difficult to distinguish Tina from POLE on clinical examination. Confirmation of diagnosis would require a clinical examination and may also require a lab test, if doubtful. KOH wet preparation made by scraping a small amount of scale can be examined under the microscope to look for fungal elements. Treatment would be guided by the diagnosis. Fungal infection would require topical antifungals with or without Oral antifungals whereas a light eruption would respond to sun protection along with topical steroids. An OTC oral antihistamine e.g. cetirizine 10 mg once daily will provide symptomatic relief from itching. I suggest that you visit a dermatologist for a confirmatory diagnosis as well as for the needful. Regards

Hi, I feel that you should see your gynecologist for a physical exam to ensure that the IUD is in position. You should also get a serum beta-ChatDoctor assay to exclude/confirm pregnancy as well as urinalysis. You should get the device removed immediately if either you are pregnant or if the device has been displaced. If it is neither and there is some urinary infection, you should get it treated, and the device may be left intact if you wish so. Hope you find this information useful. Take care.

I had a polonidal cysts when I was younger they did surgery several times. The last time they performed surgery they put me together like a pig with clamps and now here I am years later and I have this huge ball and I hurt very bad and can t sit for long periods of time what should I do?
|
Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor, I had gone through your history and understand your concern, A colonial cyst or sinus is a cyst in the lowest part of the vertebral column or in tailbone area. It may contain inside hair or skin remnants. Treatment is surgery under local anesthesia. Usually there is no connection between the cyst and neurological symptoms. However, there are isolated cases reported of sacral or lumbar osteomyelitis and epidural abscess as a complication of colonial cyst. I suggest you to discus with your Doctor the possibility of plain radiographs of your lumbosacral column. I also suggest treating the cyst surgically, it is a simple procedure under local anesthesia. Thank you.

I have experienced sudden and very noticeable swelling in the abdomen and have had difficulty moving stool the last week Ive tried milk of magnesium, gas-x, and magnesium citrate (not at the same time or back to back). The swelling is somewhat painful and Dead Sea salt baths or a heating pad help, but Im worried because both sides still feel firm. I cannot get to a doctor for 48 hours because of the storm- what do I do, what foods are safe to consume, and is there anything else I can try OTC?
|
It is not clear from the details whether the swelling is a localized one or is it abdominal distention due to bloating. To me, it seems more like the latter as you mention irregular bowel habits. There is no restriction about the food intake, but it is preferable to avoid junk food. Try taking a high fiber diet as well as fiber supplements like Isabel alongside your dinner. Alternatively you may also use lactulose syrup 2 teaspoonfuls once or twice and day and see if you get relief. I would still insist that you remain in follow up of a doctor.

Hello, I have been having some very odd visual hallucinations as well as auditory. they sometimes occur together at the same time. One hallucination seams to confirm or deny another. which causes confusion ans disrupts social relationships/interactions. Also, sometimes they occur as tactile skin sensations that are very unpleasant and uncomfortable. Because I feel it but i can see that it isn t whats happening. Ive been told to only believe 1/2 of what you see and none of what you hear. I am just wondering what the scientific facts are. And whats really going on
|
HiT hanks for using Chat Doctor This is called psychosis. It happens due to dopamine imbalance, in that case, you need antipsychotic that would be able to balance the dopamine level. When dopamine level increases at Mesolithic system, it leads to positive psychotic symptoms in form of hallucination, which could be controlled by dopamine antagonist like antipsychotic. Better to consult a psychiatrist for further management. Thanks

Hello doctor, I got my semen analysis report couple of days ago and i am worried when i saw that report... Sperm volume - 1.8 visibility normal concentration - 0.0 I dont understand why my report is like this. Please help me whether I can become father or not.
|
Hi welcome to Chat Doctor. I have gone through your question. Your report to described here is incomplete. Motility should be at least 50%. Morphology at least 70%. Liquefaction time less than 20 mins. If your reports don't have normal parameters or have low count or motility then ultrasound color Doppler of scrotum should be done. Hope I answered your question. Would be happy to help you further. Take care.

My boyfriend hugged me earlier and when he did, he squeezed me so tight I couldn t breathe. But here I am, about 5 hours later, and my chest feels like someone is crushing my lungs from the top, down. It hurts so bad. Please help, I m not sick, but I have mild asthma when I run. I haven t been running.
|
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. In my opinion you are having muscular injury due to tight hugging and squeezing by your boyfriend. Do try to follow these steps for better symptomatic relief in muscular pain. 1. Avoid heavy weight lifting and strenuous exercise. 2. Avoid bad postures in sleep. 3. Take good painkiller and muscle relaxant. 4. Apply warm water pad on affected site. If not improving in 2-3 days than consult pulmonologist to rule out asthma worsening as you have asthma.

Good evening, my daughter has been having trouble to concentrate in school, tuition, home is difficult for her to carry out a task. For example, it takes her 1 hour to eat a regular meal, require constant reminders for her to focus and have her swallow her food. She is eight years old. Pleases advise in some of the way I can help her boost her concentration without using drugs.
|
Hello, You can help your daughter by doing the things together with her. You should create a daily agenda for her with a lot of things but in short terms example 30 min music, 30 min reading, 30 min eating, 30 min cooking. But you must be present in most time in these activities. About the food, you can try to ask her to make a menu what she wants to eat during a week. Let her choose. Hope I have answered your query.

BJJ last night. Felt like a rib popped out. Excruciating pain. Doctor partner looked at it and said it isn t fractured. However, it keeps popping and I can t move or get out of bed without horrible pain. It feels like a bone is rubbing and then pops when I move a certain way. Could it be the cartilage in between the ribs? Is this something i should go to the urgent care for or just continue to ice, rest and bandage up?
|
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. By your history and description, possibility of Costco Chat Doctor. It is inflammation of rib cartilages. Best treatment is rest and immobilization. So avoid heavyweight lifting and strenuous exercise. Apply warm water pad on affected. Avoid movements causing pain. Avoid sudden jerky movements. Take painkiller and muscle relaxant

Hi, I had one D & C becuase of gastational sac was in irregular shape and I was bleeding too. Now I am pregnant again and in 5th week I started bleeding again. I am going to visit my doctor today. I just wanted to know why this gastational sac problem occurs. What is the causes of this? Which treatment should I take?
|
Hello, It is extremely common to have bleeding in early pregnancy. We attribute it to implantation bleeding in most cases. Unfortunately, you have found that it is also a sign of a miscarriage. While miscarriages are common, it is way more common to have a healthy pregnancy. So, do not assume that it is a sign of another miscarriage. The best thing to do is to call your doctor. It would easily be evaluated with a blood test to measure Chat Doctor levels (which should be rising predictably) and with an ultrasound (to make sure the pregnancy is normal, and in the uterus). The least likely cause of bleeding in early pregnancy is an ectopic pregnancy (pregnancy in the tube). It is important to rule out in this process. Please call your doctor to be evaluated. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

I found out i was pregnant 2 weeks ago and a week later I had Brown stringy discharge, the next day I had heavy dark red blood with clots for 2 days then Brown the next day. I still have pregnancy symptoms nearly a week later including bad back, dizziness, a lot of gas, feeling exsausted, heaving when brushing my teeth etc and my vagina is a purple colour. I had no pain when passing blood at all either. Could I still be pregnant it was this a misscaraige?
|
Hi, Given the symptoms, there is certainly still a possibility that you are pregnant if you had a definitive urine test 2 weeks ago which was positive. The only way to truly prove the lack of a pregnancy is to visit a gynecologist and have an ultrasound performed at the appropriate time to discover the presence or lack of an embryonic sac along with appropriate blood tests. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Chat Doctor.

I have what has sometimes been diagnosed and psoriasis and sometimes as i am not sure what it is. It is a form of psoriasis. I usually have to take an antibiotic to keep infection down. It is not helping at this time. My skin is very inflamed and itchy and i feel like i am having an alergic reaction on the inside and outside of my body. I am unsure what to do at this point. I don t usually itch with my psoriasis as much as i have this week. I am wondering if i need to see a Dr. to get a steriod shot or something.

Hi. I think probably you may be having allergic dermatitis along with psoriasis.... Psoriasis is a chronic relapsing and autoimmune disease. You may be having scaly plaques on various parts of the body, scaly lesions on the scalp. Exact cause is not known. Genetic tendency, autoimmunity, stress, Chat Doctor. .etc. may be responsible for precipitation and exacerbation of psoriasis. You said that from last few days you have inflamed skin with itching...that would be due to allergy. You consult dermatologist for firm diagnosis and treatment. I usually recommend cap accretion 10 mg twice a day along with methotrexate 15 mg weekly in three decided doses 12 hourly...for psoriasis. This may be taken for long time till good response. Blood tests may be done to monitor the treatment. For itching, you may take antihistamines like levocetirizine. If needed, steroid may be taken for short period in tampering dose. Antibiotic course may be considered, if there is secondary infection. You may apply mild steroid cream or calcitriol point on the lesions on the psoriasis lesions. You may apply moisturizer to improve the skin texture. Furthermore, you should avoid soap bath for few weeks. And you should free of stress and worries as that might worsen psoriasis. For inflamed skin, you may apply antibiotic cream. You might get good result. I hope you got my answer. Thanks.

hi Dr im kenneth in Botswana, 27 yrs. i suspect to have a low sperm count. my girlfriend has a child from da previous relationship so i think im da one who has a problem. i don tknow what to do coz i want a child. Over da past years i was masturbating a lot so im woundering whether this had an effect on sperm quality coz i masturbate everyday( 3 times daily)
|
HelloWelcome here. I can understand your concerns. I would like to tell you that masturbation does not affect sexual power or sperm quantity and quality. You should go for semen analysis to know the sperm quantity, motility, morphology etc. This will help to determine your fertility. Donot worry just because you masturbate. But yes excessive masturbation can cause fatigue and tiredness. So you should limit your frequency of masturbation to 2-3 times in week. Please revert with the semen analysis reports so that I can guide you further. Hope this helps. Thanks.

A few days ago I started having this mild pain in the center of my chest. When I burp or hiccup it is a sharp pain. I am a smoker and have smoked for over 10 years and am 28 years old. I have also had a lingering cough for about a month now and will cough up mucus every morning.
|
Hi thanks for contacting Chat Doctor... Here according to your history ...... Your provisional diagnosis : Bronchitis Here you should investigate with chest x-ray and spirometry ... Spirometry is to assess severity of disease and management accordingly... You high prescribed bronchodilator if bronchoconstriction preset ...(auscultation will show rhonchi in that case)Suitable amoxicillin like antibiotic also given ... Steam inhalation done two times daily ... Turmeric powder with hot milk taken daily ... Avoid smoking .... If bronchitis not there than other causes will also be cleared from x-ray and spirometry... As having chronic smoking history pulmonary fibrosis can be there for which steroid needs to be given ... Take care . Advise : consult pulmonologist for examination

My 2 year old figured out how to open doors in the middle of the night. She left her bedroom and went in the small bathroom and shut the door. She knocked over a spray bottle of mold/mildew cleaner and it spilled, leaving her trapped with the fumes with no ventilation. She seems fine now, but should I still be concerned?
|
Hi... I understand your concern. But usually this type of chemical irritant inhalation may have its effect only after 6 hours of the incident and I suggest you be on the lookout for the next 48 hours. I will explain to you the danger symptoms when you need to take her to the nearest Emergency Room or physician.1. Breathing difficulty or fast breathing.2. High grade fever.3. Inability to feed.4. Chest wall retractions.5. Excessive uncontrollable cough. Regards -

Early Sunday morning I woke up with stomach pains; I took Tums and went back to bed. When I got up, the pains were better, but I had no energy. That lasted all day SUnday. I felt better Monday morning, so I figured it was a 24-hour stomach bug. But today I had severe chills; even after I went to bed, I couldn t get warm. I slept for about 90 minute, and when I awoke, the chills were gone. I don t have any flu or pneumonia symptoms - no breathing issues, no runny nose, no cough or sore throat . Could this be food poisoning , or the 24-hour bug I thought it was?
|
Hello, lindab-jewels, If you ate out at a public place or a picnic where the werepre-prepared foods, especially poultry, egg preparations etc., then you have to think about food poisoning. Contaminated food or Chat Doctor. Also, more than one person may be affected. You mention that you don't have aches and pains, sore throat, cough etc. This kind of rules out stomach virus. Root virus, Nor Virus, can cause severe gastroenteritis with vomiting and diarrhea. Your symptoms are not suggestive of that. It could be a mild case of food poisoning, and you are already getting better. I suggest that you stay on soft bad foods for 2-3 days. Avoid fatty, fried, spicy foods. O.K. to take Tums or Pepto-Bismol you have diarrhea. I wish you well.

Hi, Thanks for your query. I have read your query & I understand your concerns. Leupride will help you in down regulating hormones. Not to increase follicular size.

Hello My husband has had severe psoriasis since age 17; and now is 77.He sometimes can keep it under control;but at the present time is going through detox (through Doctor) for stomach problems. He is not halfway though the detox and has had a severe flareup of the psoriasis. Tries to get admitted to a hospital; but that seems impossible anymore as in our area they say they treat as outpatient. Any suggestion on how to getadmitted for observation and tests? Thank you.
|
Hi, As you said, your husband suffers from psoriasis from long time. It is a chronic and relapsing skin disease. I can understand your anxiety for your husband disease. But, you have to keep patience. He might get relief slowly. You take him to consult eminent dermatologist for firm diagnosis and perfect treatment. There is no need to admit him in hospital. OLD Treatment will be enough. I would like to suggest accretion 25 mg daily along with methotrexate 15 mg weekly in three decided doses of 5 mg 12 hourly. Blood tests may be done at regular intervals. Steroid with salicylic acid point may be applied twice a day. Soap bath should be avoided. All precautions may be taken to avoid Chat Doctor. After few months, he may be alright. But, maintenance therapy may be continued. Thanks.

Hi doctor,I have severe pain in the lower back region. I have this problem for a few days. The pain is present only on the lower back just above the hips. I feel stiffness and pain in the lower back in the mornings. I have the pain radiating towards my upper spine when I squeeze the upper back muscles. After a few hours, my pain goes away and comes back again after a night sleep. I always do weightlifting at home. Please suggest a remedy.
|
Hi. You have a muscle spasm. Evaluate your sleeping conditions and ensure that you are sleeping on a supportive mattress that is not over seven years old. When sleeping on your back, place small support under the lower back and knees. You can use a small pillow or rolled towel. When resting on the side, keep a medium size pillow between your knees to keep your pelvis straight. Try sleeping on a heating pad. Do light lower back stretches every morning and every night in every direction. Take care.

Hi,I am a young female and I recently have been diagnosed with HSV-1 genital after a severe primary outbreak with flu like symptoms.During the same week of the diagnosis I had brownish blotches appear on my skin along that were not raised or itchy after taking my first dose of valtrex.It has been 2months since the outbreak and the spots have cleared and I have been under a lot of stress and I felt symptoms of a possible outbreak coming on so I took three doses of valtrex in the matter of three days and I have freckle like spots all over the back of my hands wrists and arms that aren t itchy or raised .. It has been a week and a half since I have taken the valtrex and the spots are still visible and is accompanied by a constant diarrhea and fatigue and feeling of a puffy throat ..I ve also noticed some weight gain and tingling in arms .. Everything I read says HIV symptoms and I am beginning to get worried about it ..my current partner was screened for everything 2 months ago and was negative but I read he may not necessarily contract it if I have it .. I am very worried .. Can valtrex cause any of this even though I don t take it daily ? Please help
|
Hi, According to me, Value does not cause a similar rash. The rash could be a completely unrelated condition such as Freckle. The proper diagnosis could be made only after proper examination. If you are afraid of having, you can clear your doubt by undergoing voluntary HIV testing. I also advise you to take Value only as per your Doctors prescription. Hope I have answered your query.

My 17 yr old woke up yesterday morning with the left side of his face swollen. He cant hear very well from his left ear. Im not sure if it is a medical problem or a dental problem as a few weeks ago he said his wisdom tooth was coming out. What should I do?
|
Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query. The pain and swelling could be because of the gum infection from the wisdom tooth (periodontal infection leading to space infection). This can produce swelling over the face. Consult an oral physician and get a radiograph done to rule the amount of space present for the tooth to erupt if space is there for the tooth to erupt then the gum covering over the wisdom tooth can be removed. If the space is not available then you have to get the wisdom tooth removed. You can take a course of antibiotics like amoxicillin 500Β mg and metronidazole 400Β mg TID for 5 days (if you are not allergic). Do saline gargling. Regarding the hearing problem, you consult a ENT surgeon and get an opinion. I hope my answer will help you, take care.

Hello, Metformin has no relation to increase of SGPT levels and TRIGLYCERIDES levels. The two most important cause for increase in SGPT are pain medications, anti cholesterol medications and herbal medications and conditions like obesity, diabetes and high triglyceride levels in blood. METFORMIN helps in reduction of blood sugar levels and weight also. The most important treatment for you along with metformin is... Regular aerobic exercises for 45 minutes a reduction of calorie and weight. Yu must take adequate IT D to counter IT D deficiency, and it can be done by regular intake of IT D supplement. Thanks

I get randon small itchy rashes and they just come and go at anytime. I have been to a doctor and have had allergy test. I am not allergic to anything and I have been instructed to take antihistamine. I take 180 mg 4 to 6 times a day and I am certain this is not good. Lately the rashes are still apearing even after the antihistamine. The itch is so bad that I end up scratching till I bleed . Please help!
|
Greetings thanks for the question on Chat Doctor the small itchy rashes appearing on the skin is due the changes happening in the internal body organs. In homeopathy, we do refer it as external manifestation of the symptoms due to psychological problems, internal organs not working to competent levels . I would suggest you to have entire body check up of the liver function test and would also recommend you to give entire history to a good homeopath. As just with one symptom's giving medications or suggesting the line treatment would be difficult, so please do show to a good homeopath and would be able to cure you completely it's just a reciprocal of anybody organs might not be reciprocating to the optimum level to capture that a good case history with a homeopath and would suggest you the remedial action for the same thank-you you can also give me your complete history on Chat Doctor.

Hello, I have gone through your query and understood the concern. Firstly, let me tell you that stress is the foremost inhibiting factor for conception. The more casual you are, the more likely you are to be successful. Since you have been together only for five months, there is no need to worry. You can try after your wife comes to stay with you permanently. Meanwhile, please continue with the medication prescribed by your doctor. Avoid Chat Doctor. If ovulation can be regularly established, GUI can be tried if natural methods fail due to thickness of semen. Hope this helps.

Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor, Raised ESR is not a disease but an indication that underlying disease is present. ESR is elevated in case of chronic inflammation like tuberculosis, bronchiectasis, osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis etc. Since, you have a history of respiratory problem in the past, there is possibility of respiratory problem which is causing raised ESR. Consult your treating doctor to look for cause of raised ESR. Thanks and take care Chat Doctor.

Hello Medicines are usually not helpful in gall badder calculus. You should go for definitive treatment of gall bladder calculus. Definitive treatment of gall bladder calculus is surgical removal of gall bladder(cholecystectomy). Gall bladder calculus is prone to infection and obstruction, so it is advised to get rid of calculus early. Your may also need upper GI endoscopy. GERD need proper evaluation. You may need biopsy and more medicines for HERD. Get well soon. Take Care Chat Doctor.

Dr. good mrng, My child age 5 yrs and three months have 75-80 pus cells in his urin today we have medical report, but he absolutly fine, we had ultra sount he has 19 mm stone in his right kidney , we started homeopathy treatment for this near about 15 days back, in between we had checked it was 25 to 30 which were less than 35-40 when we examined in start i.e. 15 days back. Now he is absolutly fine and healthy. what it means, iam worried about it, is it clearing the kidney passes and will become normal or what we should do next, please tell me. Regards Harpreet Singh
|
Hi Harpreet, your son is having a large kidney stone, which is causing pus cells in urine. Pus cells can be due to infection or just rubbing of stone against kidney wall. However, such large stones need to be treated. Only uric acid stones can be dissolved with medicines (that change urine pH). Smaller stones <6 mm can be pushed out by medical treatment, rest all stones need some form of surgery or lithography. I suggest u see a urologist who will advise some X-rays or CT scan and further treatment will be decided based on the reports. Once the stone has been treated, do get a complete stone metabolic workup of your son to decrease chances of recurrent stone. Good luck.

Hi Doctor I am a male 57 had an Angioplasty and placed one madicated stent three weeks ago , I would like to know how long it will take to resume regular sexual activities, in general when can a patient can be able to performand what precautions to be taken.
|
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Sexual activity needs high exertion. So it is considered as heavy-duty work. Post angioplasty it is advisable to avoid heavy-duty work for at least 4-6 weeks. So better to avoid sexual intercourse for 4-6 weeks. Wait for 3 weeks more. And once you start sexual activity, try two gradually increase the intensity. Don't do heavy exertion on the first attempt. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.

Hi Doctor,I had a disagreement with a fellow colleague today about the idea that cancer tends to thicken blood. One of my patients is a cancer survivor. Her Doctor would like her Hgb to be kept between 10-11. I see that the therapeutic level is 11-13 for quality of life in cancer patients. What can you tell me about this?
|
Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. In cancer patients also hemoglobin should be kept above 12. There is no harm in that. In spite, it is necessary to maintain hemoglobin above 12 for healthy living. So it has no relation with thicker blood and all that. Myeloproliferative disease can cause thicker blood but for that aspirin and HY Chat Doctor. But I'm not agree with that theory of low hemoglobin. 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 asking for my boyfriend, he gets pain in his stomache, he geta nausea, and he has a slow digested. He takes pms(night time pain reliever) and he gets sleepy after takin them. He cant go anywhere afyer eating bc he gets sick. He lost alot of weight, he only eats once a day bc he works. He went to the doctor to see what they can do but they wanted $2000 up front and we dont have that kinda of money. So I ask is there anything else he can take.
|
Hi. Thanks for your query and your concern for your friend. Pain - nausea and slow digestion, feeling sickness after dinner, loss of weight, eats only once a day due to he works, probably is afraid to eat due to pain-your question-anything else he can take other than pms. I would advise you to consult a good Doctor who can examine him properly clinically and physically, this can give lot of diagnostic possibilities :like abdominal tuberculosis, intestinal obstruction, blind loo syn Chat Doctor. This will give a guideline for the necessary investigations like:Blood, urine, stool, enterocolitis, USG, CT scan only of necessary. Once the diagnosis is done, the further targeted treatment is possible. This will help him to get a cure and not the temporary relief.

Iam a 45 yr old male who has just finished a course of anti biotics for a chest infection. I have aches and pains around my lower ribs and feel a little hot in this area. My aches are better now I have been on anti-inflammatories for the past two days. I have now got a few raised red pin prick dots that are itchy. There are not many, though a few on chest, one on foot and one on back. I do not have headache, fever, diarrhoea or vomiting.
|
Hello, I have studied your case. Due to compression of this nerve root there can be chest /rib pain. Another possibility of persistent chest infection leading to eruption. I will advise you to do MRI thoracic spine, HRC [CHEST] and EMG- CV [nerve conduction study]For these symptoms analgesic and neurotrophic medication can be started. I will advise checking your it B12 and it D3 level. You may require blood test or chest scan if no relief. Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow-up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries. Wishing you good health.

hello: about 45 mins ago I was in the bathroom with my toddlers and I went to throw something away. when I went to turn around, I smacked my head into a wall. There was a bump the size of a quarter on my forehead. I hit my head just to the right of the middle. I put ice on the bump and it has gone down. However, I feel sleepy right now. I took some advil too. I am not throwing up, no fever. I just feel a bit sleepy and out of it. is this normal?
|
Hello and welcomed not worry you will be fine. These bumps are produced as a result an immune mechanism to the injury by a process called Inflammation it is characterized by redness, pain,swelling, hotness. Alarming symptoms in head injury are severe headache, vomiting, vision changes and disorientation. And you do not have these symptoms.You'd done food to apply the ice packs. For pain, you can use ibuprofen 400 mg three times a day. You will be ok in a week. Hope you understand. ThanksBye

Hi, I am 65 year old lady and I had my thyroid removed 2 years ago. one of the stitches didnt close and after few weeks, white discharge came out and since every few days that white discharge squeezes out. I had x rays done and it said there was a sac of fluid there, nothing dangerous. It was removed by the surgeron ( a year after the surgery) then few months after the same thing started to happen again. Few times little knots of stiches came out and tiny pieces metal-like as well. Can you please help me with that. Thank you
|
Hello there, I am Chat Doctor. It might be hospital acquired or may be other type. Mostly this type of picture after such a long time is seen in infection like gram positive staphylococcal, atypical mycobacteria, fungus or may be some other gram negative organism. So now you must go for culture examination of infected site by a reliable microbiology laboratory and by a qualified microbiologist. Once the causative organism is found it can be treated according to its sensitivity pattern. Hope I have given appropriate guidance to you. If you have any query you can consult me anytime. Give me star rating according to your satisfactory level. Thanking you.

hi, i am an ashtmatic and i have been having a thick nasal drip which seems to be affecting my lungs for a few months now and i have great difficulty breathing and it is geting wost with each passing day. my chest is also very tight but i am not wheezing, ( when using the peak flow meter i can only get to MAX) i have also noticed that i have been bringing down from my sinuses alot of mucus with black streaks in it. i am very concerned because my resporatory health has been greatly affected. it really scary not being able to breath properly 90% of the time. Can these black streaks in my mucus be the cause of my detriorating reporatory health? what is causing these black streaks? what is causing this? my doctor put me on symbicort and allegra D. but they have not been helping. PLEASE HELP. Ladystraw.
|
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. By your history and description, possibility of worsening of asthma (exacerbation) is more in your case. Most likely cause for this is lung infection. You are also producing a lot of mucus with black streaks (likely blood). All these favor lung infection (pneumonia) more. So better to consult pulmonologist and get done 1. Clinical examination of respiratory system 2. Chest x-ray 3. PUT (Pulmonary Function Test). Chest x-ray is needed to rule pneumonia. PFT will tell you about severity of the disease and treatment of asthma is based on severity only. You may need antibiotics, additional 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.

It was as though the water wasn t going down the right way.

I dont remember falling off the chair or hitting the cupbord with my head but after only a few seconds my wife was helping me to my feet. I had alot of clear mucus coming out of my nose and I was for a moment quite disorientated. This has never happened before. I am diabetic,58 year old male and obese. Please tell me what you think.

My husband has been running a fever of about 101 degrees for two nights. Today he started hurting in his right flank area (from his abdomen towards his bladder) He went to the doctor today and they did a urinalysis which showed no red or white blood cells. They gave him an antibiotic and sent his home, but no answers. His fever is back up tonight and he is still hurting. Any ideas what might be the cause?
|
Hi. Thanks for your query and an elucidated history. The type of the pain you explained and fever can be due to right sided kidney infection and if there is an obstruction to the urinary outflow due to stone or so, the urinalysis can be negative as the infected urine will not reach the bladder. The best way is to go for ultrasonography to confirm or rule out certain problems. Continue the antibiotics as he has fever. Give paracetamol for the fever. At the same time the possibility of appendicitis, right sided colitis has to be kept in mind. Ultrasonography may help to an extent for this too.

|
Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor forum. I recommend performing an ambulatory 24-48 hours ECG (electrocardiogram) monitoring to investigate for any cardiac arrhythmia. I would also recommend performing complete blood count and blood electrolytes for any possible imbalance, which could trigger ectopic heartbeats. Regarding your blood lipid profile, I would recommend trying to modify your diet, avoid fatty food or sugar and take a lot of omega fatty acids (fish, fish oil, olive oil, walnuts, etc.). I would also recommend taking a statin, considering your blood lipid profile. Atorvastatin 20 mg daily for a month would help improve your blood lipid profile. Hope to have been helpful! If you have any other questions, please do not hesitate to ask me again. For more information consult a cardiologist online

Hello doctor,I am on a low dose of Seroquel, which suppressed my thyroid FT4 and, subsequently, my FT3 during these three years of recovery from Hashimoto's disease. I have stopped Seroquel, and my exogenous administration of testosterone is reduced to half from 700 to 387. Do Seroquel increases the prolactin levels? My sugar levels drop quickly after meals, and I have low genetic TBG. If I increase my exogenous testosterone back to the previous level, will my TT3 level get lowered?I am on Propranolol and my last Seroquel dose of 25 mg. It was affecting my eye sight, so I stopped it, and my FT4 was always low after Hashimoto's recovery.
|
Hello. I understood your question, and the answer is: An increase in testosterone dosage will not suppress T3 (triiodothyronine) levels. It will take some time to recover from the consequences due to the long term administration of Seroquel (Quetiapine). Propranolol can cause low testosterone levels, so no point in artificially increasing the testosterone. Take care.

Hi and welcome to Chat Doctor. Thank you for your query. I am Chat Doctor, I understand your concerns and I will try to help you as much as I can. Usually liver enlargement may indicate some types of hepatitis or fatty liver diseases and in most cases it doesn't require any specific treatment. If this is caused by diet, obesity and diabetes then dietary and lifestyle changes will be beneficial in every case. Alcohol and viral hepatitis are the most common causes and in this case medical evaluation is required. Also, if there is infectious disease or biliary duct disorders then you need to do some tests to rule out more serious issues which require specific medical treatment. You need to check your viral markers and do liver biopsy if necessary. I hope I have answered you query. If you have any further questions you can contact us in every time. Kindly regards. Wish you a good health.

|
Hello are an old case of ASTHMA hence taking sere tide & montelukast as both these Chat Doctor. Since you are an old asthmatic, so I will try to reply in details. Asthma, airways hyperresponsiveness that is secondary to inflammatory airways' disease that results in recurrent or chronic episodes of wheeze, shortness of breath, chest tightness and cough particularly in the night or early in the morning. Causative or predisposing factors responsible for asthma are, dust, mite, pollen, molds, pests (cockroaches) pets in house, hay fodder, sudden increase or decrease of temperature, humidity. So if possible avoid these factors. When such asthmatic patient visit my clinic I prescribe them to take Montelukast + ALBUTEROL tablet once or twice in day till complete relief in symptoms. Hot coffee and steam inhalation also provide relief. Since you are already asthmatic patient, so TERTIARY PREVENTION is important in your case. Wash all bed covers in the hot cycle (60 degree C). Treat carpets with tannin acid.clean upholstered furniture thoroughly. Keep dust accumulating objects in trash can. Install air conditioner or dehumidifier.Also, avoidance is necessary for an asthmatic patient. Hope this will help you.

Dear Patient, Welcome, and thanks for sharing your concern I went through your query, and I feel, as per your description the sign you are showing are of vascular origin, so please get yourself examined, the probable reason could be1 Any thromboembolic phenomenon2 Any acute infection need to tell us if you are hypertensive, or are on any medications, moreover if infection is ruled out than you need to go through a CT Anglo investigation and see the cause. Consult early. I hope my advice would have been useful, in decision-making regarding your treatment, still if you have any clarifications or doubts feel free to contact back. Thanks.

Hello doctor,Does (Inozith-250) Azithromycin work the same as (Clavu-nova 625) Amoxicillin and Clavulanate Potassium Tablet USP? I am using to treat a back/chest problem I had two years back which the doctor prescribed Inozith-250 for me. I used the same drug when I had a similar problem and I am well.
|
Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor forum. No, Azithromycin and Amoxicillin plus Clavulanate potassium work via different mechanisms. Azithromycin is an antibiotic useful for the treatment of a number of bacterial infections. Azithromycin is a type of macrolide antibiotic. It works by decreasing the production of protein, thus stopping bacterial growth. That is, it is bacteriostatic. Amoxicillin attaches to the cell wall of susceptible bacteria and results in their death thus it is a bactericidal compound while Clavulanic acid is a \xce\xb2-lactam ChatDoctor. While not effective by itself as an antibiotic, when combined with penicillin-group antibiotics, it can overcome antibiotic resistance in bacteria that secrete \xce\xb2-lactamase, which otherwise inactivates most Penicillins. The doctor may have prescribed Azithromycin 250 mg twice a day earlier to you for maybe congestion or cold or some other problem but I would advise you to visit a physician in person and then take the medication. Then it would be of much benefit to you. For more information consult a pharmacologist online

|
Hello, If you wish to have sexual intercourse without barrier methods, it would be better if she goes for a regular form of contraception like oral pills instead of emergency contraception; these pills have high doses of hormone than the regular ones and thus create severe hormonal disturbances with later consequences. Their use should be restricted only to one or two occasions per year. Hope your query has been answered. Take care.

Hello Im Joelmy girlfriend, after having 1 week period delay, took a pregnancy test, which resulted positive. However, 2 weeks later she blood-checked in a hospital and the resulted NOT pregnant. Though her period didnt come yet, I wasnt given any clear answer from the hospital, please help! thank you
|
Hi, Thanks for writing in.1. Home pregnancy test is by estimating the beta subunit of Chat Doctor in urine. This is positive after 15 days from sex if pregnancy has happened. However, there are some limitations when the result can be false positive and pregnancy has not occurred.2. The blood beta subunit of Chat Doctor estimation is done in the hospital and this is accurate. This is usually a quantitative estimation and not wrong. Therefore, if they have measured beta subunit of Chat Doctor in blood, and it is negative then pregnancy is not a probability and the home pregnancy test is false positive.3. If in doubt then you can go for a transvaginal ultrasound after 6 to 7 weeks from the last menstrual periods and this will most likely show a pregnancy. Please discuss with your doctor in detail and request for an ultrasound scan if required. Please do not worry.

i have aracnoid cysts on my spine and in my nervesi am a 26 yr old female and i have more then 15 cysts in my spine,not sure how many in my nerves. i suffer from pain,loss of feeling in right leg,seizures and extreme headaches. no doctor will offer treatment due to my age. i would like to know where and who will treat me
|
Sounds to me as if you may have a legitimate reason for surgical intervention, however, I would really need to read your radiograph reports to more fully understand the complexity of your situation. Also, can you secure any of the consultation reports from any of the neurosurgeons you've seen thus far? There is no way you can obligate any doctor to offer a specific type of treatment...even if it seems justified and reasonable to the patient or another doctor. It is the responsibility and liability of the doctor undertaking the procedure therefore, it has to be their decision. Arachnoid cysts are typically felt to be benign and present since childbirth. For that reason most neurologists and neurosurgeons are very hands-off doing anything when they are found in the brain or spinal cord. However, in this situation, if there are significant numbers of lesions, and if they are causing visible or measurable mass effect in the brain and can be shown to be actually compressing or squeezing important brain structures or obstructing the flow of CSF then, a very compelling circumstance can be argued to exist which would invoke surgical intervention. Please upload what I've asked for to: www.bit.ly/ Chat Doctor. Cheers!

Hello, I have gone through the query and understood your concern. There are several factors that influence the results of infertility treatment. Firstly, the extent of deficiency, any additional factors affecting the case, response to treatment etc. Secondly, the patient compliance with the doctor and vice versa. If you get ovulation with the starting dose of Camphene and do not have any other adverse factor, your chances of conception are high. Overall, the success rate with this form of treatment over the course of six months using stepped up doses to induce ovulation, is 30-40 percent. Hope you find this information helpful. Take care.

Dear Doctor, PLease advise if Hepatitis A is transmitted through vaginal sex. I surfed on net and found that oral contact with Anus of the infected person or anal sex or the infected person does not wash hand properly after stools is when you get infected . Please advise.
|
Hi and thank you so much for this query. Hepatitis A virus is transmitted through the orofacial route. This means that poor hands and food hygiene is the May way this virus is transmitted from one person to another. Should you carry the virus from playing wit the anus and don't wash your hands properly before eating, you would ingest it and can get infected. However, hepatitis A is not transmitted through sexual intercourse. Good hygiene practices are capital to preventing hepatitis A. also, there is a vaccine, and you may want to be evaluated for one to keep the fear of contracting this infection away. I hope this helps. I wish you well and thank you so much for using our services. Feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.

I have had hives for about 6 months and I am on quite a few medications but I am still getting flare ups on my scalp .neck and torso . I have had blood work but nothing shows up. About 6 months ago, I had an injection of Uflexah in my knee and I have had the hives ever since. I am seeing an allergist but she has not yet determined what might be the cause.
|
Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor, Your symptoms suggests me that you are having some allergic reaction, the allergen causing these symptoms should be identified. To identify the allergen causing hives all over the body, you need to undergo skin prick test for the allergens. You should be tested for most prevalent allergens like dust, mite, pollen,food and medicines. This will identify the allergen causing all these symptoms, and you can avoid that allergen. For your present symptoms you can take Chat Doctor. Thank you.

hi! I am in seventh month of my first pregnancy. I am having loose motions for last two weeks (5 to 7 times per day with loose consistency). I have just completed the course of antibiotic (ornidazole 500mg bd for 5 days) on the prescription of my gynaecologist but still no relief, kindly suggest further.
|
Hello dear, i understand your concern. In my opinion the loose motions can due to gastrointestinal infection. But as the course of antibiotics is finished the infection might have cleared. As you don't have any fever the chance of persistence of infection is less. Take bland diet and curd in the diet. Tab.sporran also might be helpful. Take adequate fluids up to 3 liters per day and electron powder. Sagograin juice also help in decreasing the loose motions. Best regards...

Welcome to Chat Doctor .1. Tube legation generally does not give the above symptoms.2. Reason for bled need to be seen.3. If you are my patient I would ask for an ultrasound pelvis none to see the status of your uterus and ovaries to rule out many causes. (Mass/inflammations/Bulky ovaries)4. Yes there is something wrong and get medical help as soon as possible. Anything to ask ? Do not hesitate. Thank you.

My husband was a dialysis patient. He complained of back pain and laid down with a heat pad on his back. A couple hours later, He died in his sleep and there was vomit. Could that have been a heat attack. He had a history. A mild heart attack , had two stints and AFib. But the AFib was treated by ablation a couple year prior.
|
Dear madam, welcome to Chat Doctor. I am sad to hear about your husbands demise. Please accept my condolences. The most common reason for death in dialysis patients is cardiovascular (Heart attack, Strokes, heart rhythm problems, etc.). One of the conditions which I think is most likely in your husbands' case is Dissecting Aortic Aneurysm which can cause back pain and many a time can be life-threatening. A myocardial infarction (heart attack) is always very high on the list of probabilities off course. Unlikely he died of a heart attack. Hope this helps. Kind regards. RB

hello, I just had all four Wisdom teeth removed three days ago. So far everything has been going fine and i haven t been in too much pain. However, a few hours ago i started feeling not quite right. My head started hurting (not terribly though) and I feel very hot. I took my temperature but do not have a fever . I decided to switch to ibuprofen from my prescribed medicine today, so I was wondering if I should switch back, or take another course of action
|
Hello Welcome to Chat Doctor I would like to tell you that wisdom teeth extraction is not a simple extraction. Its somewhat complicated surgical procedure & there are many post extraction effects that are seen like:- -prolonged numbness due to local anesthesia effect -pain -swelling -difficulty in opening mouth -fever -malaise You don't need to worry about any of these symptoms. Take some rest & start with amoxiclav-625 twice a day along with zerodol-SP twice a day. Also take some multivitamin & antacid like omeprazole 20 mg if acidity persists. Take all this for 5 days because ibuprofen is very mild analgesic. Along with that start warm saline rinses 24 hrs after extraction. This will help in healing. Consult your dentist if problem persist. Take Care Regards Chat Doctor.

I am a 23 year old male PT grad student, sorta poor diet, 511 160lbs. I recently discovered a pimple-like ordeal bump under i my gooch area. I had popped it and then as days passed by it has just gotten bigger. It is now the size of a walnut. My father died of cancer and my mother is a breast cancer survivor. For the past few years one of my testicles( smaller than the other, but not by much) has become noticeably more sensitive as well. I have seen a doctor about the testicle pain but he had told me previously that it is nothing to worry about. However this pimple like infection is new (4 days) and has just gotten bigger and i have noticed not only more swelling but another one is coming up. I do not shave so I do not believe that it is an ingrown hair infection.
|
Hi and welcome to Chat Doctor. Thank you for your query. It doesn't need to be ingrown hair, but it can be bacterial skin infection with no obvious cause. If you are afraid of cancerous you shouldn't be, it doesn't manifest on this way. You should just not to rough it scratch it and apply some antibacterial cream. If this grows you might need antibiotic treatment so consult your GP about it. Wish you good health.

A friend of mine has had severe pain just under the sternum, vomiting (including yellow bile ), diarrhea . He experienced just symptoms about a year ago, but it s back and worse. Doctors have taken Ultrasounds, CT Scans, but seem to have ruled out Gall Bladder problems. He s feeling pretty desparate right now, and has had several appointments with doctors, but no answer yet. He has an appointment with a kidney doctor and an internist. HELP!!
|
HiT hanks for your query As gall bladder issues are excluded as per your version then its most important now to exclude now gastric pathologies. Two important entities are consistent with symptomatology. One is gastric or duodenal ulcer and another is gastroesophageal reflux disorder (HERD). To exclude gastric or dimensional ulcer the investigation of choice is upper G I endoscopy with rapid crease test to exclude H. pylori infection. To diagnose HERD It's important to measure 24 hr pH monitoring at the lower end of esophagus. To start with pantoprazole tablet 40 mg twice daily before food and modify your treatment after availability of the test results. Another important entity is pancreatitis which should have been detected in USG or CT abdomen, though it will be better to go for serum amylase and lipase assay. Heart diseases should also have to be excluded. Therefore, an ECG should be done at least to exclude them. I think by all theses you will get the answer. Thank you.

i had taken hepatitis b antidote in 12 years ago,,,but since 2007 i have physical relationship(non-protected sex) with my partner,,he has hepa b(chronic),,,is there any chance of infections????currently i have mild pain in my right abdominal area,,sir are u there??
|
Dear Friend. Hi, I am Chat Doctor, I have read your query in detail, I understand your concern. Hepatitis B can be transmitted by Sexual Intercourse. But good news is that you have got Vaccination done. In that case I would advise you to get the following:1. Anti HBS Levels-this would tell the level of protection you have.2. Bag- would tell if you already have Hepatitis B. In case your levels are low, and Bag is negative, get vaccinated again. And in future you should use condoms during sex. Also, ask your partner to get proper treatment of Chronic Hepatitis B. This is my personal opinion based on details available here. If you still have any other query, you may please ask me. Stay Healthy. Chat Doctor, MD

Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor, As per your query you rashes and itching on feet, arms and legs from last 3 weeks. There can be multiple of the causes for the problem which can be diagnosed properly by close examination or by detailed history or picture of the problem. The most important part is to stop scratching as this leads to the cycle of Itch-scratch and Itch" phenomenon which can further aggravate the situation. For the betterment kindly follow the below:- Do not scratch any skin lesion or even try to touch unnecessarily. This is the most important part in your treatment.-Apply over the counter calamine lotion 3-4 times a day.-You can do cold water compresses to reduce the intensity of itching.-stay away from hot and humid climate.-You can take oral anti histamine like loratadine or levocetrizine round the clock under medial advise.- You can apply Fluticasone or mometasone cream under dermatological guidance. Despite above measures if the things are not better than it is better to consult a dermatologist for the best guidance. Hope to have provided the helpful information regarding your problem.
