ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | I am experiencing PACs. A few years ago I started having them, then the went away, then came back for a few days once each month. About 2 months ago I started Zoloft, a month after that I started having PACs morning and night and occasionally throughout the day. Is the Zoloft the cause of the increased PACs? | Hello and thank you for using Chat Doctor. I carefully read your question and I totally understand your concern. But you should not worry. These premature beats have to do with some electrical issues in the heart. Some electrical impulses that generate in a part of the heart different from normal sinus rhythm cause a premature heart contraction that you feel like a skipped beat, because it's not a normal one. This extra-sistolik beats generally are followed by a pause till the next normal heart contraction. If these are not frequent, in Young and normal heart, it is nothing to worry about. There are different factors that might cause this skipped beats like emotional stress, excessive coffee consumption, coca-cola or energy Chat Doctor. As you explain you have experienced this premature beats even before taking Zoloft. So my opinion is that Zoloft is not the cause of your palpitations. In general, it helps to treat anxiety problems that do cause extra-systolic beats. Only in a small category of people Zoloft might have a side effect to increase heart beats, but it is not your case, as it has happened before. Pathology like anemia or hyperthyroidism might be other causes of premature contractions. So, if I was your treating doctor I would say that you have nothing to worry if this happens once a wile, its normal. But if they begin to bother you and interfere in your live we can decide to do some examinations like a blood analyze, your thyroid hormones, an electrocardiogram, echocardiography and of course a holder rhythm monitoring to have a full view of your rhythm and the extra-sistolik beat frequencies. Onliest than we can decide what we should do and if it is necessary to stop Zoloft. Hope I was helpful. Best regards. |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | HiI have had pain in the left side of my face for a week now. I have been to my dentist who put me on a 5 day course of Amoxicillin 500. I feel quite sick and periodically feel as if I have a temperature. Today the pain is just in front of the ear in the top jaw. Also my head feels really fuddled.Any ideas?Linda | Hello, thank you for consulting with Chat Doctor. As you are mentioning that you have pain on the left side of the jaw in front of the ear, then there can be two possibilities for it-First is there can be any infected tooth in the upper jaw which is causing this problem. -Second is maybe your joint of jaws (Temporomandibular joint) of left side is creating the problem the problem is of tooth the dentist must treat the tooth as only antibiotic will not solve the problem. And if the problem is arising from your joint then antibiotic have no role in it, as it will be relieved by some muscle relaxant. But for both the conditions you should visit your dentist again and get it confirmed with detailed examination with x-ray of the tooth and joint, Hope it will help you. |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | I m 33 year old. Recently i had a severe stomach pain & was admitted in d hospital. There i underwent an ultra sound scanning. Doctor told me that my prostate is enlarged. 27cc & also i have fattel liver. What is d cause of it & why it came at this early age & what is d remedy. I m not alcoholist. No problem in urinating, etc. Plz help me. Dr. Sumitt plz give me d answer. Do I need to wait? | Hi, How are you? My name is Chat Doctor. I am a Liver and pancreas specialist and I hope to answer your question today. Fatty liver can be caused by excessive alcohol intake (Alcoholic SEATO hepatitis, ASH) or due to excessive fatty food intake and sedentary lifestyle (Non-alcoholic SEATO hepatitis, NASH). ASH is usually the beginning stages of alcohol induced liver damage and is completely reversible if the patient refrains from alcohol. NASH is being much more commonly diagnosed currently owing to poor dietary habits and sedentary lifestyles of people. High caloric intake, high fatty food intake and poor exercise regimens lead to deposition of fat goblets in the liver tissue leading to fatty liver (which shows up as increased echo texture on USG). This is also completely reversible in the initial stages if caloric intake is limited and exercise regimens are adhered to. If left unchecked, patients usually become obese, diabetic and in final stages may lead to cirrhosis of the liver which will necessitate a liver transplant. I would suggest a healthy diet and exercise regimen. Although there is no time limit on when to get a repeat scan, I would suggest one, once you have succeeded in losing some weight. Hope this helped and hope you start to feel better. Please do not hesitate to contact me for further details. Have a great day. |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | Hello, I am writing because I have had diahrea like symptoms for about a year. My liver enzymes were slightly up and last year I had an Ultrasound of the abdomen , whicChatDoctore back normal. What is the chances I might have advanced liver disease? I used to drink quite often. I am 28 years old and have had about 5 years of excessive drinking. | Your chances of having advanced liver disease are low, if I call advanced liver disease "cirrhosis". However, you may have some scarring in your liver which might be irreversible depending on the degree of inflammation you have had throughout the years, secondary to your alcohol intake or other reasons (such as viral hepatitis, medications, etc.). You should get follow up liver enzymes and liver synthetic function tests (such as albumin, coagulation tests, etc.), platelet count (the platelet count goes down when there is portal hypertension or scarring in your liver) and these would reflect how is your liver working. Talk to a gastroenterologist or hepatologist for further information. Hope that helped. |

Sometimes it hurts and cannot sit in a hard back chair as it puts pressure on it, otherwise it does not hurt. Should I be worried? | Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You may have soft tissue tumor like lipoma, neurofibroma, dermatofibroma or some other tumor. You should go for fine needle aspiration cytology or biopsy of that lump. It will give you exact diagnosis. Then you should take treatment accordingly. Surgical excision is the treatment of choice for most of the soft tissue tumor.

I consulted doctor.She advised for fertile 50 mg tablet to take on 5th day of my period. but unfortunately I didnot get this tablet till my 6th day. can I take from 7th day onwards to get the result or I should try from next month?? | Hello dairy understand your concernFertile tablet will help to maintain fertility by inducing the ovulation. Clomid should be started on day 3 to 5 of your cycle and continue to take it at the same time every day for 5 days. You will likely be started on a low dose of Closed, such as 50 mg a day. This is to reduce the likelihood of developing cysts, side effects, and multiple pregnancies. If you miss the pill then take as early as possible.

Do you any idea what could be causing this? Heart desease does not run in my family and Ive never really had heart issues. | Hello! Welcome and thank you for asking on Chat Doctor! I understand your concern and would explain that your symptoms may be related to anxiety or autonomic dysfunction related to nightmares. Coming to this point, I would recommend performing a careful physical examination and some tests:-resting ECG and cardiac ultrasound-chest X-ray study-blood lab tests (complete blood count, thyroid hormone levels, blood electrolytes, kidney and liver function tests, etc.) to exclude other causes of increased heart rate. An ambulatory 24-48 hours ECG monitoring would be necessary to examine your heart rhythm trends during day and night and exclude possible cardiac arrhythmia. You should discuss on the above issues with your attending physician. Hope you will find this answer helpful! Best regards! |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | Is surgery advisable for a patient of 80 years with the following medical report. Microscopic appearance the geographical sections show fragment of glottic tissues comprising of tumour tissues necrotic fragment and bacterial colonies. The tumour is composed of a typical squamous cell with hyperchromatic nuclei and foci of keratinisation. Impression moderately differentiated squamous cell carcinoma of the Glottis. | Hi, Thanks for writing in. Cancer is a condition which can be completely cured if detected early. If the person is having an early stage disease then surgery might help in complete cure and recovery. With recent advances in surgery, the risk due to surgery in cancer treatment is less and in expert hands good result might be achieved. A CT scan of the cancer area is required and if it is in stage 1 or 2 then surgery is possible if it is stage 3 or 4 then chemotherapy and radiation therapy are more suitable. The tumor is a type of skin cancer which is called squamous cell carcinoma and there are fast-growing cells as mentioned. Some parts of the cancer also have dead cells and this means that the cancer is destructive. If doctors have given an option to go for surgery then please proceed with treatment after discussing fitness for surgery with your doctor. Please do not worry. |

I can understand your problem and situation. In my opinion, we should first rule out cardiac cause for your chest pain and chest pounding. So get done1. ECG2. 2d photo rule out cardiac cause. If both are normal than no need to worry much for cardiac cause. Get done CBC and thyroid profile to rule out anemia and thyroid diseases. As both can cause chest pain and chest pounding. If both are negative than probably you are having anxiety and related symptoms mostly. So avoid stress and tension. Be relax and calm. |

My wife feeded ORS to the baby as how milk is feeded? so can you suggest ways to get cure for cold and vomits | Thanks for putting up your query at Chat Doctor. I understand the cause of your concern. You have not mentioned whether your child is on exclusive breastfeeding. If that is the case, continue breastfeeding rather than using ORS as the former is better. In case formula feeds are being given, you may give ORS alongside. If the baby is vomiting or not feeding well, it might indicate an infection. You have not mentioned the weight of the baby. The baby may be given Coastal Suspension (1Β mg/ml) 4ml thrice daily, but I would recommend you to consult a pediatrician to find out the exact dose required for your child. Please take the child to a pediatrician who would be in a better position to investigate and find out. I hope that helps. Feel free to revert with further queries if any. |

I have been swimming the last cole days. | Hi, Perhaps the skin there has got infected. Central yellowish looking floor and surrounding redness are signs of it. Uncontrolled diabetes predisposes to skin and soft tissue infections. I suggest you to use an OTC topical antibiotic, e.g., either Newsprint Ointment or Mupirocin 2% ointment, twice daily for a few days. In addition, I suggest you to take an oral antibiotic e.g., either Amoxicillin or Cephalexin, thrice daily for a week. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. |

We both are running out of time very fast for in reproducing age. We seek your advise please . My Name is Rakhi Sanjay Sharma. our em address are YYYY@YYYY , YYYY@YYYY YYYY@YYYY | Hello state, Welcome to the forum. Due to changed lifestyle stress, tensions and pollution there are many couples suffering from the same problem. Do not lose heart. Every individual is made for a different purpose. We treat it is only God who heals and gives. If you want your husband can take the medicine to increase sperm count. Since he already had been under treatment just give him a month gap. Let him get stress-free and relax. There are many other reasons for low sperm count like excessive smoking or alcohol intake in the past, some nutritional deficiencies, stress, accidents, obesity, genetic cause, etc. You will be amazed to know that some couples who are clinically fine are also at times not able to conceive. It is all in the hands of God. Some men feel very week, some complain of dizziness, some get hypertensive yet others irritant as they start taking the medicines to increase the sperm count. A husband should be given high protein diet, energy giving food like legumes, beans, eggs, red meat, dairy products, nuts, fruits, veggies, berries so that the medicine works well and brings the desired results. The medicine may take 4-6 months to show results. It is better to maintain abstinence while the husband is under treatment. To be able to conceive the spermatozoa should be at least 20 million/ml, 75% should be alive, talent 50% active, 30% normal. There is no harm in trying donor systems as confidentiality is maintained and results are positive. Acceptance and mental preparation depends upon both the husband and wife else it may ruin life. You can try visiting Holy places, Nagapatnam and many other places if you are a believer. Have a nice day, take care. |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | Hello doctor,I have anxiety for the last five months. Recently, I had an echocardiogram, it says grade 1 diastolic dysfunction of the left ventricle with E/A ratio 0.7. Rest other parameters of the echo are fine. Sometimes my diastolic BP goes to 90 due to anxiety. Can you please tell what is this dysfunction? Will it cause future issues and will it go away if I get rid of my anxiety and BP? My ECG is found to be normal. | Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor forum. Diastolic dysfunction in the echo is, in fact, abnormal function of the left ventricle during relaxation phase that is diastole (attachment removed to protect patient identity). It occurs when left ventricle muscle is hypertrophied due to increased blood pressure. Grade 1 is the initial phase, but do not worry it is reversible. Control blood pressure and it will be fine within a few months. No need to repeat echo but controlling BP is essential. According to the latest guidelines, optimal BP is <120/<80 mmHg. To reduce BP avoid anxiety, avoid smoking (if you smoke), avoid alcohol or any other form of addiction (if you are addicted), reduce salt intake in the diet, avoid junk foods, oily foods, ghee, etc. Do regular exercise, maintain a healthy weight. |

Kindly suggest me how to get treated with it without using any inhaler ? Currently, I m not taking any medicines but sufering from cough ? Does this effects sexual Life as I m getting married ? | Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Bronchitis is inflammation of airways. And best treatment for this is inhaled treatment. Inhaled treatment reaches lungs directly, so onset of action is fast. It acts on lungs only, so systemic side effects are minimal. Hence, it is better to take inhaled treatment as compare to oral treatment for bronchitis. And if untreated, this bronchitis can gradually worsen over period of time. It can cause coughing, expectoration, breathlessness on exertion, weakness etc. Sexual activity is considered as heavy exertion. So untreated bronchitis can also interfere with your sexual activity. So better to treat bronchitis by inhaled bronchodilator and inhaled corticosteroids (ICS). Don't worry, you will be alright with all these. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks |

In some instances, they may feel that they must "numb you up" before they can remove the protruding fragment.

How are the cheeks related to dental implants! It seems the implant was either not placed by a specialist or the patient didn't follow the post-operative instructions & the implant got infected.

Recently i have done the blood test at pathology lab. The report shows the high range of Eosinophilia count i.e 8 %. Please let me know what to do. | Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Eosinophils are one of the white blood cell (ABCs). It is usually seen in very low percentage like 1-2 %. Higher percentage suggest allergic disease. Other conditions like Chat Doctor. But in your case possibility of allergic etiology is more. You are also having cough and cold since 4-5 months. And not improving with routine medicines.

In POD the ovaries have multiple follicles and there is a difficulty in having a mature follicle, so you have to induce your ovulation. In this way, the doctor controls your cycle from outside as you have an irregular and long cycle. If you were my patient, I would start giving you Clomped Citrate, which is a pill used to induce ovulation. These tablets start with low doses and then are giving rising doses according to the follicle growth. |

The list goes on and on. I am completely heartbroken for her, watching her and have tried nearly everything thinking it was nothing more than a child that had been given the world but I realize it is much deeper than that. | Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor forum. I can understand your situation in trying to deal with your daughter\s behaviour. Is her behaviour the same everywhere? What do the teachers say? Does she interact well with her friends? It will help to know whether her behavioral issues are limited to home or present at school as well? A detailed assessment including developmental history will be needed to formulate the reasons behind her behavior. It needs to be clarified whether this is a behavioral issue or whether there is an underlying emotional problem manifesting as oppositional behavior. Discuss with her school teacher first. Explore whether she can see a psychologist based at school, if available. If problems are significant and persistent, it is advisable to consult a child psychologist or child psychiatrist near your place for a comprehensive assessment and manage accordingly. Continue with clear and consistent boundaries. Parenting in this situation can be difficult and exhausting but consistency is the key. Get support from your partner, grandparents as applicable.

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | Hi Doctor, I am a male of 32 years old. I have elevated liver enzymes for already some time (seen in the blood tests for more than 2 years ago and still present). The doctor at the hospital wants to do a liver biopsy if these elevations remain (By now ALT was around 200). He wanted me to lose weight, and then take a blood test again. I lost some weight and started to do more exercise, and the liver enzymes dropped. (ALT : around 100 u/L) Also I felt better and some symptoms disappeared. However I should take a new blood test after some time again which I did not do because I am rather afraid of this biopsy and wanted to see if I could improve my situation by living healthy and do some exercise. I also had an ultrasound, were all seemed normal. No signs of cholostasis (I think this is blockage of gallbladder ducts) However, lately I again get symptoms that indicate that something is wrong. Those symptoms are sometimes mild pressure at the right side of the abdomen, just under the lower ribs, as if something is blocked or inflamed. Sometimes I feel also a bit dizzy, and not clear in the head. Another thing is a bit darkened skin under the eyes. And a general feeling of not feeling very well. Another symptom is that I have often (dark) green stools, which are fluffy, or thin. I can give you also the results of the latest blood test. I was also tested for hepatitis at my normal physician, where it showed negative, but I don t know if this could be still the case. I would like to get some opinion or advice concerning what disease I might have, what to do about it and what the risks are of liver biopsy. I don t have an alcohol problem, I drink very little since already 2 years. I weigh around 86 kg and measure 1m81. Thanks in advance Jonathan Smets Results latest blood test: Bilirubine total : 0,60 mg/dl Bilirubine direct: 0,21 mg/dl Bilirubine indirect : 0,39 mg/dl AST : 39,0 IU/l ALT: 110 IU/l Gamma-GT: 138 IU/l LDH : 384 IU/l Lipase: 44 IU/l Kidneys: Ureum: 38 mg/dl Creatinine: 1,21 mg/dl GFR: 60 ml/min Total Protein: 7,6 g/dl CRP (inflamm. / auto-immune ) : 0,11 mg/dl Lipides: Triglycerides 81 mg/dl Total cholesterol 194 mg/dl HDL-cholesterol 78 mg/dl LDL-cholesterol 99 mg/dl Ratio Tot. HDL chol. 2.48 mg/dl Results for hematology were normal | HIT hank for asking to ChatDoctorI really appreciate your concern, in my opinion if you do not have any symptoms which are directly related with your elevated enzymes then why to worry about this, whatever symptoms that you have described here are just because of your worry about your nonspecific elevated enzyme and nothing else and not the disease, just forget it state living happily no need to worry about elevated enzyme until it does not give you any trouble, hope this information helps you have good day. |

She has already given birth to one child and looking for the second. This is called as secondary infertility. Uterus cannot become small to such an extent after one pregnancy that it cannot hold fetus of second pregnancy. Obesity (more weight) does not directly interfere with fertility, however if obesity is due to some primary because it can cause infertility, like hypothyroidism. If she has adequate height, 67 kg is not over weight not to talk of obesity. Your wife has already given birth to one child; she should be able to conceive again unless she has developed some other cause of infertility. I would suggest you to consult a gynecologist who may be able to evaluate her for secondary infertility and may treat her depending upon the cause. Hope this answers your question |

For the last few yrs I have experienced missed heart beats which often happen as I m falling asleep, which cause me to wake suddenly, gasping for breath and recently coughing . I also have a first degree heart block. Should I have these episodes investigated. They are very alarming when they occur! Thank you. | Hi, Yes any disorder which presents as missed heart beats and or gasping etc. must be investigated. Abnormal rhythms in the heart are called arrhythmia which may be detected using tests such as ECG. Abnormal rhythms may be dangerous if not detected. You also require a cardiac evaluation with tests such as Echocardiogram etc. Imaging of the chest with CT scanning is also necessary to detect any lung or chest problems. I presume that you may be taking medications for your heart block so any symptoms that make you uncomfortable require investigation and consultation with a cardiologist. I presume that your blood pressure is ok. You may also get a complete blood count done. Both lung and heart conditions have to be ruled out with the symptoms that you have described. |

The treatment suggested at first for this would be to use an ice pack for 10 minutes 4 times a day with an anti-inflammatory agent which he is used to(,i.e. not allergic to) for 3 days and if it remain inflamed then consult your GP.However, before beginning this treatment as advised above make sure that there is no wound or cuts or gash is there on the skin surface due to the sharp edge of the can. |

You have to be more careful during seasonal change. Also try to avoid dust, smoky area. Cover your face with helmet or handkerchief on two-wheeler. You have to take anti-allergic like levocetrizine, montelucast with ambrosial during asthmatic episodes. Start bronchodilators like terbutalin, doxaphylline according to severity. During severe episodes take inhalation therapy with nebulizer. Rota caps with micronized dose of steroid with bronchodilators is more helpful. Keep in touch with your doctor.

You were safe during your visit to the hospice to meet the patient. Cancer patients who are taking chemotherapy have a low immunity, and they are prone to developing infections which normal people will not get. Even some normal bacteria and fungus present in you might cause serious infection to those having cancer. Transmission of infection from a dying patient through air never happens. Most infections are transmitted by touch and therefore, to minimize the infection transmission rate from you to the patient and other patients, wearing a glove was considered important.

Only looking for a natural health care provider to treat him holistically to find out exactly what is the cause. | Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query. The white patch in the mouth can be because of many reasons like autoimmune disorders like lichen plans, Memphis. The other cause can be a leukoplakia, frictional keratitis, candidiasis etc. Nothing to be panic, consult a good oral physician and get it evaluated and once the diagnosis is confirmed, we can treat accordingly. If it is candidiasis then you have to take topical antifungal like candid mouth paint. If it is leukoplakia, you have to stop the habit of smoking and take antioxidants like capsule lycopene. If it is lichen plans then you have to take topical steroids like triamcinolone acetone (0.1%) 4-5times daily for 1 week. I hope my answer will help you, take care. |

It would be associated with fever, loss of appetite, vomiting. The diagnosis of appendicitis would require examination of your abdomen looking for certain signs of this infection.

Dr. Said ct scan was fine but it showed I have pelvic phleboliths. I also have several kidney stones too. What do I do? | Hi, Thanks for writing in. For kidney stones. It is important to know the number and size of the kidney stones. Any obstruction to the passage of urine by the kidney stones is also to be known. Treatment depends on the number, size and any obstruction that is happening. Consulting the urologist with your report once will help in knowing which treatment is most suitable for you.

First do not panic. I would like to congratulate you for getting yourself treated with dead diction medications. Your concern about detection of heroin in urine and subsequent consequences of babies taking are absolutely right. In my opinion, once you stop taking heroin actively, it takes 3 to 5 days to clear it from urine. After 10 days it is definitely out of your body systems and is not detected in the urine. So if you continue with the abstinence and your current line of treatment, it shouldn't be a problem. Please seek support from your counselor regularly. Continue with Folic acid and vitamin B 12 and Iron, Calcium and protein supplements regularly. Take care. Meditate regularly. Think positive. Things will be fine in the due course of time. May God bless you with a bundle of Joy. Thanks. |

Urinary tract infections would normally have other symptoms such as frequency of urination, discomfort on urination, change in the color or odor of the urine. If you do not have any of these added symptoms then infection is not likely and the pain may be due to a stone. The ultrasound would be able to determine if a stone is present. The treatment of kidney stones involve the use of pain medication and a lot of fluid. If the stone is small then it would pass on its own. If it is too large and medical intervention would be needed.

In my opinion you should get your MRI scan of spine done to rule out any nerve compress at the root of the nerve that is causing the problem. As you have a history of fracture 3 years ago you have more possibility of nerve compression than the normal person. But it doesn't means you have, we have to check it by MRI scan.

Still have some pain in my back in the ribcage (right side). If I see my Dr now that the worst is over what will happen? | Hi.noted history of gallbladder condition. Is it secondary to an obstruction like a gallstone or polyp? These are the common pathologies that could cause your epigastric and right upper qua Chat Doctor. It is best if you consult with a doctor, preferably a gastroenterologist or a general surgeon, for physical examination and clinical evaluation. Diagnostics (such as ultrasound, liver function tests, bilirubin, etc.) and management (medical and/or surgical if indications are found) will be directed accordingly. If it is indeed of gallstone in origin, definitive treatment is cholecystectomy or surgical removal of the gallbladder, which could be done laparoscopically (gold standard) or through open technique.

It seems that you have muscle twitches or articulations over knee. These are small, local, involuntary muscle contraction and relaxation visible under the skin arising from the spontaneous discharge of a bundle of skeletal muscle fibers. You might consult your doctor who can order 1. A few blood tests including thyroid function tests, 2. Serum electrolytes including Serum calcium and potassium levels. 3.

On 1/17 I had severe cramping-which I don t recall ever experienced in the middle of my cycle (only during my period). Then today (21st) I noticed a puddle of slightly white/clear discharge on my underwear. I thought maybe this discharge was a sign that I am currently ovulating...took ovulation predictor test-came back negative. What do you think this discharge is? | HelloThanks for writing to us with your health concern. See, the ovulation predictor kit is not always 100 % reliable. Also, the discharge increases AFTER ovulation. It is at its peak just before your period is due. That could be one reason you got a negative test. You had ALREADY ovulated. However, you are still in the clear since you were sexually active during the requisite time. Being sexually active well past your expected ovulatory dates will also increase chances of pregnancy. Another possibility is conditions like POD which are keeping you from normal ovulationTake care. |

Spinal cord stimulator is implanted for pain control when no structural or treatable cause for pain can be detected. It would be helpful to know the findings in your recent MRI if you have had one. Revision spine surgery can be technically quite challenging due to scarring as you have had so many surgeries already. However, surgery is not the only option. Here are your options1 Visiting a pain specialist so that a formal pain management protocol can be charted out. I am sure you might have visited the specialist in the past or already seeing one but since you don't want surgery (whether it is needed depends on imaging and correlation with your symptoms) this will be the mainstay of managing the pain.2 Epidural injections and selective nerve root blocks can be tried depending upon MRI picture but again will be challenging due to a lot of scarring.3 Medications like pregabalin and gabapentin help to keep nerve related pain under control. Hope this is helpful. Wish you the best. |

I am worried as it has been nonstop pain for almost 2 months. | Hi, I am sorry for the current health issues you are going through. Having knee pain might be due to arthritis or after having a history of trauma locally. As the pain is going on for 2 months, then, I advise discussing it further with orthopedist about running X-ray of knee to evaluate any possible damage. For the moment, I can advise to:- take oral painkillers- apply analgesic cream locally-take fish oil and multivitamin supplementation- try to put your knee at rest, avoid walking or standing up for long periods-apply warm compresses (some of my patients have found relief by applying warmed coarse salt wrapped with a clothing locally)- physiotherapy can also be of greater help.

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | my father recently had undergone stent angioplasty in main artery LAD which was blocked completely. Now his one of the tooth need extraction due to excessive pain as what the dental surgeon asked for. he is on blood thinners (ecosprin) antiplatelets etc. Kindly advise me what I should go for...I m a little bid worried | Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query. The extraction can be done if Bleeding time, clotting time and INR(international normalized ratio) is normal. If there is any increase in the above said test values, then extraction cannot be done till it comes to normal. Before extraction, consult your cardiac physician and get a consent and opinion to proceed with extraction. If the INR is normal then, there is no need to stop the esprit. I hope my answer will help you, take care. |

These are well separated in a person who is normal. Amongst some patients who may have the onset of the renal disease, this differentiation is lost.

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | hi I am angelia castro ihave had surgery on May 15th 2014 and every joint seems to hurt the drs are telling me to walk to strengthen my back muscles but I just don t have any energy or desire to do this I want to but then don t do it because my knees hurt so bad | Here I would like to know which surgery you have undergone?. Since the information is not available to let me tell you about your other issues. You have told you have pain in all joints as well in spine and there is a weakness too.These symptom shows you have calcium and vitamin D deficiency, or it can be related to rheumatoid arthritis also. I suggest to talk to your or tho and physio and then start taking medication after doing proper check on bone mineral density test along with blood test for calcium, vitamin D and rheumatoid factor. Here one more thing I suggest is all ladies should take calcium once they cross the age of 35-40 and since it's going to be life long it's better to have it from natural supplement brand to avoid any side effects. Now once you start with this along with protein powder for muscle strength I am sure you will be able to do physio also properly for further exercises and rehabilitation. Suppose if your rheumatoid report comes positive then take suggestion on medication with doctor but also consult a dietician for anti-inflammatory diet because this too helps a lot in pain relief. Also use hot and cold pack when ever it pains a lot but prepare your self mentally and keep doing exercises for rehabilitation. I am sure this will help you if you follow the suggestion properly. Take care. |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | Hello, I hope you can help me.I had an MRI which revealed I have a herniated disk at L5 causing nerve pain down my right leg. I had a nerve root injection at the end of August which was meant to relieve inflammation and allow my disk to heal. Unfortunately it only gave me a few days relief and the pain is back. I am due to have a lumbar steroid epidural in 1 months time but have just found out I am 5 weeks pregnant. I have not yet informed the chronic pain clinic through which I am being treated, I believe the injection I am booked in to have in 1 months time will be done under intensive imaging. My query is- is it safe for me to still go ahead with the injection (I need to inform the clinic) will they still perform the lumbar epidural (I will be 9 weeks pregnant when it is due to take place). Also, is it likely I will be able to go through to full term with pregnancy? Thank you in advance for any help you can give me. | Hi, thanks for writing to Chat Doctor. It is not recommended or advisable to get exposed to radiation (in any form) during the first trimester of pregnancy (during first 3 months). This is because "Organogenesis" (formation of body parts) occurs in the fetus during the first 3 months. If you are exposed to radiation during this period, there is likely possibility that the fetus may develop congenital abnormalities. There is no purity or guarantee that a lumbar epidural steroid will provide you relief throughout your term of pregnancy. Hope this information is helpful. Good day |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | I fell through a roof today and hit my lower middle right side of my back on a beam. I felt very winded at first but this passed after a while. It hurts to laugh or cough a bit and turning to my right hurts. there is a large red area developing where I hit the beam and laying on my back seems to relieve the pain. I dont think ribs are broken but perhaps bruised? Deep deep breathing in can cause discomfort | Hi, You will have sustained bruising to your muscles and ribs in the area. You may break a rib, but this would be impossible to know unless you had an x-ray. I suggest paracetamol and ibuprofen for the pain. Rest if possible. Take some deep breaths every hour to ensure there is good ventilation of your lungs. Your pain should improve over the next few days. Even if you have broken a rib, the treatment would be the same. I hope you feel better soon. Chat Doctor. |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | I had kidney stone removal and insertion of a stent 48 hours ago. I ve had minimal discomfort until tonight. After my shower I noticed blood when wiping and am experiencing severe pain in the stent area. I ve also begun to feel an almost constant need to urinate. I m wondering if a trip to the ER is called for or, if this is normal and I should contact my doctor during office hours. | Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor. As a Urologist, let me assure you, that the pain keeps decreasing each day. If the pain is very severe, you should go and get a painkiller injection in ER. Usually, after stent placement, an analgesic is prescribed for a few days. When the stent moves in bladder, one feels the urge to pass urine. Also, in some people, bleeding may occur with stent movement, especially, if the stone was large, and present for some time, before treatment. If you've any other doubt, you may contact me by name. Wish you well. |

Some worms particularly come out during night causing itching.It's better to deform the child and use an antihistamines like cetirizine for 1Β week. Please wash his undergarments in hot water for 2 weeks. Cut his nails too. All the family members should take a deforming tablet too and cut your nails. |

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | Dear Dr. I was sufferring from Viral Hepatitis A since June 2012. The level of Billirubin had gone up to 44 over one and half months. Then some complications in the protien levels shown as well as some haemolysis ( Haemoglobin went up to 7). Doctor did endoscopy to assertain any verices, it was absent. He told me it is acute hepatic failure. since October the levels start decreasing. In January, the readings were total Billiburin 1.25, Albumin 4.0, A/G= 0.8, SGOT 46, SGPT 89. Hg 12.2, In the Ferbuary end reading is Billirubin 1.6, Albumin 4.2, A/G 1.4, SGOT 63, SGPT 57, Hg 12.8. These two readings are from two different laboratories. My energy levels are quite fine (not exerting heavily though). Does the enlarged billirubin level is alarming? My email id is YYYY@YYYY . Kindly reply, | Dear pairajesh007,I am looking at the January and February lab results, and they do not look alarming. Even though the enzymes are still elevated slightly, they will continue to improve. Bilirubin level 1.25 -1.6 again is not very high. You might probably have a slightly higher indirect bilirubin than direct which indicates a slight hemolysis. But your Hemoglobin levels are O.K. Keep eating a good high protein diet, take a grouper B-Complex Vitamin along with 1000 mg. of Vital supplement. I am sure you will be back to normal soon. Hepatitis-A does not go into a chronic phase. I wish you well. |

Generally my skin is over my penis & when I am not in stage of erection i was able to move it back but last month i got infection and cracks on it which later i treated with some soap and cream . right now i am unable to move my skin back and unable it to clean with water which i generally do while bathing. I am feeling little itchy inside it. I am practicing it to move back it is not so and feeling uncomfortable while sitting and relaxing | This is a condition of inflammation of foreskin, as per your explanation. Possible causes can be contact with any allergens, fungal or bacterial infection etc. It is very important to diagnose the problem exactly. Sometimes if you have this issue, using of soap and other creams can aggravate the issue. It is advisable you contact a dermatologist and get treated as soon as possible, and if it is due to any allergy (some people will even have latex allergy), avoid the contact with such allergens, and if this particular problem started after a sexual intercourse with a particular person, inform that person also to get treated.

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | Hi My dad had the following symptoms chest pains, fatigue and tiredness and both his arms hurt. His Cholesterol and BP are normal but he is taking meds for them. He also has heartburn/gerd and is taking meds for that. and he is taking penicillin for a bacteria in his stomach. Can this be signs of a heartattack or is the combinations of all the meds irritating his heartburn? | Hi there! I totally understand your concern for your father and commend you for looking out for him. Usually, the signs and symptoms of a heart attack is a crushing chest pain (patients will often say that they feel like an elephant is sitting on their chest). If he has constant chest pain, a heart attack is possible, but less likely. I'm not sure what bacteria he has, but taking penicillin for a stomach infection is unusual. The only stomach infection that I am aware of that is treated by antibiotics is H. Pylori, and that is treated by a combination of antibiotics (and penicillin is not one of them). Antibiotics tend to alter the flora of our GI tract (There are natural bacteria that live in the GI tract, and taking antibiotics can also kill the good bacteria). I would ask the doctor who prescribed the antibiotic what exactly he is trying to treat (penicillin is a very unusual choice for GI infections, period). I would also get him an EKG, which would check for any abnormalities going on with his heart. Furthermore, I certainly do think that his medications could be playing a role. I'd recommend revisiting his medications and going over potential side effects with his doctor, especially the penicillin. I hope this helps. Feel free to contact me if you have any further questions. Thanks! |

Always take the medication at same times each day, one in morning and other in evening. I am sure this pain will feel much less after 1-2 weeks course. However, it is better to take this medication under your local doctors guidance.

ηζθΏ°εηι«εΈει‘γ | My husband is a PD patient. Been on it for ten months. Had a cortisone shot in his knee last week. Has had complications with high blood sugar, diarrhea, dizzy and weakness. His dialysis is not working as well, lower UF. Have called his nurse, told to increase strength of dialysis fluids, helped at first but now back to low numbers with continued afore mentioned problems. | Hi and thanks for the query, I am afraid a patient with problems with dialysis malfunction needs to be treated with utmost care. Considering he is a PD patient, with a high blood sugar, certainly not well controlled blood glucose, this again increases the risk of aggravating the kidney disease and other metabolic conditions. A combination of these two pathologies non their own could be very detrimental. Cortisone, a steroid especially when given in a diabetic and patient with chronic kidney disease, the patient has to be carefully monitored. I strongly suggest you consult a nephrologist or book an appointment with a nephrologist and take your husband to the emergency room for reevaluation and initial management. Thanks and best regards, Bain LE, MD. |
