Herpes is a viral infection and responds well to anti-viral medications like acyclovir, both tablets and cream can be used. However, the diagnosis can only be posed by a qualified medical personal. I will advise you take her back to the Doctor to reevaluate her. In the meantime, you can get over-the counter-pain medication like ibuprofen for her to take but not for long. Some of these infections persist in people with weak immune systems. Age happens to be one of the factors that weaken the immune system. I will advise she gets on very healthy diet too during her recovery period. Hope my answer will help you Best regards

Hello Doctor,Namaste.. I have 1 year 3 months old boy..he is not feeling hungry..when i met my child specialist,he had given a syrup for increasing appetite..the name for the same is CYP-L. Is it good for giving sir? as my brother is saying ,if its became habituate then we need to continue for long time ..if we stop giving drops then will he stop to feel hungry..pls let me know sir. and is there anything bad to give this kind of syrups for babies? Kindly help me out from this problem as i am feeling v.v.bad for my son.
Hello. Thanks for your query. I would suggest you some funny way to make the meal more loving for your baby. Taking syrups for too long will make the baby addicted to this. You could try to make some finger food and let the baby to self feed. Also, you can take your baby on your lap and eat from the same plate. That's because babies love to copy, and they do exactly as you do. Another way is to take the baby with you in the kitchen and try to cook together. This way he will be more motivated to eat.

hello i have a question? I have this cough only when either i get hot or I drink or eat a dairy product so Ive noticed or even if I inhale the cold air, or like i said it gets to hot i seem to cough. Im not sure whats going on and its not all the time that this happens should i be concerned it does cross my mind that it could be something serious like a allergy or some kind of lung issue. I do not smoke so ive ruled that out.
Hi welcome to Chat Doctor forum. It appears that you have the uveitis, an infection and inflammation of the uvula, at the end of the soft palate. As it touches, the tongue, or the pharynx cough is aroused. I advise you to consult an E.N.T surgeon for diagnosis and treatment. I advise you to gargle with Luke warm salt water twice a day. Avoid taking fruits, juices, cool water, and things. Wishing for a quick and complete recovery. Thank you.

Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor. As a Urologist, i can understand your anxiety. Kidney function tests, include USG-scan, which shows parenchymal disease. The other test is creatinine, electrolytes and check B.P., which may go up. As you've not repeated your tests for 5 years, do the following tests soon:1. Urine routine, culture and ACR done.2. LFT, platelets,lipid profile and s.proteins with A/G ratio.3. Ultrasound scan with residual urine. According to reports, the Urologist, can advise expert treatment. If you've any doubts, you may send the reports here, for an expert opinion. Chat Doctor. Manga.

Hello, I have had fluctuating wbc and platelets for the past few years. They seem to get lower than normal and on the next check up go back to normal. After my last check, my dr put me on prednisone for 14 days (currently on), and he also mentioned doing a bone marrow biopsy. Should I be worried? Is the biopsy necessary in this case? Other than the blood tests I have no symptoms of anything being wrong.
Hello, THX to contact us. If I am your treating doctor I would like to advice you that biopsy is necessary in your case to diagnose which causes fall in the platelets and WBC. Any cause which causes fluctuation in the platelets and WBC for about a year requires a biopsy to rule out the cause. Many a time autoantibody is present against the megakaryocytes, which may cause fluctuation in platelets and WBC this cases is ruled out by the biopsy. If you have anything else to ask please contact me. Than. Chat Doctor

I went to the dentist for a toothache and thought it might be a problem with my gums right near the tooth, so my dentist said it might be the root surface so he put something on my tooth and gum, and it was not the problem. Once I left the dentist office my mouth hurt 10 times worse and noticed a long white welt on my gum like inside my cheek but towards the bottom of the tooh. It is so painful I can t eat or even talk right. My cheek and where the welt is is so swollen. What can I do for this for the pain to go away and the welt to go away? And what did the dentist put on my gums to make this happen? It feels like a burn of some sort.. Think that s the only way you can get a welt.
Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor forum, i would like to inform you that the white patch which has developed on the cheek and the gum is most probably from the medicine applied on your tooth, I cannot assure if it's a burn until checked clinically.I do not know the reason behind the pain in your tooth, is it caries(decay) or due to infection in the gums. I recommend you to use an antibacterial mouth rinse(twice/day) for 5 days, also, you can apply Dologel-CT over the soft tissue which is sore(apply with finger, massage it for 1 minute and leave it for half an hour). For the toothache you will have to see your dentist as he/she might prescribe antibiotics and painkillers.I hope I answered your query, i wish you good health.

I have a problem with my tooth/teeth/gums I think. I went to different dentists a few times and they couldnt see anything wrong on the xray. When I floss/use teepee brushes between certain teeth its very painful and it bleeds. My right side of my face is slightly swollen and the area just under my jawbone is slightly swollen and tender. Ive had this problem for over a year now and lately i have just noticed it more. I think it might be an infection because your glands can get swollen with that cant they? Ive been feeling sick on occasions aswell and yesterday when I woke up, I felt awful and my temperature went from 37 celsius up to 38.60 celsius. I felt better next day, but still feel a bit sick. Could this be a tooth infection?
Hello. As you said several times after x-rays dentist denied for any tooth infection. So you should believe that it can't be tooth infection. You may need scaling if gingival bleeding is due to calculus. If not have check up for blood reports once by consulting physician. For swelling on side of your face you can go for orthopentomogram, X-ray of whole face.to get more idea on condition. You can consult back for further queries. With you good health.

I got punched in the face about 5 days ago. It was an uppercut to the jaw on the left side. It wasnt until yesterday that i noticed any clicking but i felt no pain. The only time that i would feel it is when i would move my jaw side to side. I just woke up now and it hurts a bit but nothing absolutely unbearable. When i open my jaw wide i can feel a slight shift on my right side. It also hurts now to open wide.
Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query. The pain and deviation of the jaw, limited mouth opening can be because of two reasons. The first could be because of the disc displacement in the jaw joint secondary to the punch on the face. The other possible cause can be a fracture in the mandible. So consult an oral physician and get it evaluated. You need to take a radiograph like OPG to confirm the diagnosis. Later it can be treated accordingly. Till then, do not open your jaw too wide, take soft diet. I hope my answer will help you, take care.

Dear Dr. Siegel, my father has been diagnosed with suspected Potts Spine or TB Spondolitius. He is taking medicines since late nov. and has had back pain since early sept. He cant sleep on his right or back and now the left side is paiing as well. The MRI shows some compression of vertebra. He was having diclowin pain killer but stopped it. Is there anythig to mitigate his pain - seems that nerves are pressing. Regards - Harsh
Hello, I have studied your case. Tuberculosis of spine leads to back pain and weight loss. When such patient comes to my hospital we usually take x-ray spine or if required MRI to see for any nerve compression again in follow up. Medication like methylcobalamine with muscle relaxant and analgesic will reduce pain; you can take them consulting your treating doctor. You may consult physiotherapist for further guidance. He may start TENS, or ultrasound which is helpful in your case. You need to continue anti TB medication for longer duration. 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. Take care.

I have Lyme disease and going through peri-menopause at the same time. I was on Estrodial/Testosterone shots and they worked great, but became too expensive. Now I am trying Estroven weight management w/ Black Cohosh and Soy and Synetrim CQ. I also take Prozac, Ativan and Armour Thyroid. I am seem to be totally exhausted after taking the Estroven for a few days. Could I be having Serotonin and Synetrim CQ interactions/? Thank you, Alison
Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor, As you were diagnosed to have Lyme disease which is an infectious disease caused by Cordelia bacteria, and it is a tick borne disease transmitted to humans by the bite of infected ticks. The symptoms are suggestive of the Lyme disease. I would suggest oral doxycycline, if you have taken this and if there is resistant to this you can take either cefuroxime or azithromycin. These medications should be taken for at least one to four weeks. You need a few tests including labs to check his kidney function and an ultrasound of the kidney area and a urine culture to rule out an infection. I think the best way to do this would be to go the primary doctor again and tell him or her the new symptoms. Thank you.

hi....high prolactin 30.16 n low progestrone level 5.52 on day 21st of cycle...i m trying to get pregnant from 1 year without any sucess
Hellowelcome to Chat Doctor. Do not panic. Have you got your thyroid levels tested? Also this prolactin test was done at which time of the day? Also was it repeated after a few days or is this the only report you have? Also are you on any other medication? The progesterone levels are low for which you will have to take a medicine which will improve your levels. It is best that you go see an infertility specialist. Meanwhile start taking folic acid tablet if you're not already taking it.

Hi thanks for writing to Chat Doctor. I have gone through your question. As your husband have low sperm count and low percent of motile sperm then you should investigate for him. U should consult urologist and do color Doppler ultrasound to find vascularity of testes and to rule out varicocele. There are supplementary medicine for increase sperm count. For you fibroid size location matter for pregnancy, and you should consult a gynecologist for the same. Iui is the best option available. Have a good life and success...

Some times I have to change him 10 times in a day. I give him colic aid as well. Before feed. And I tried changing formula tooo.whT should I do? Please help
Become to Chat Doctor I understand your concernVomiting in babies is mostly due to reflux, which normally persists till 6 months of age. It is not cause of concern provided baby is gaining appropriate weight, passing urine every 4-6 hourly, active , accepting feed, tummy is soft. It does not require any medication apart from proper burping after feed and feeding baby in sitting posture. It will disappear at 6 months of age when semisolid are introduced. Hope I answered your query.thanks.

why would my upper adomanial hurt after a meal? I think I have problems with my galdblater because of the pain after I eat and when Im layin with my husband at night he cant even put his arm on my belly because of the pressure it hurts so bad what could be wrong with me?
Hi! Good morning. I am Chat Doctor answering your query. If I were your doctor, I would after a clinical assessment of your abdomen advise you for an ultrasound of abdomen to know the status of your gall bladder and other organs of the abdomen. Local tenderness (pan on pressure) points to inflammation of the internal layer of the abdomen near the affected organ, which has to be dealt with at the earliest. Therefore, I would suggest you to visit the ER of your nearest hospital to have a clinical assessment and related investigations for further management. Till then, you could go for an anti-spasmodic and a proton pump inhibitor Chat Doctor. I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts. Thanks for choosing Chat Doctor to clear doubts on your health problems. I wish you an early recovery. Chat Doctor.

My daily routine hasn t changed at all either.. thanks and I hope that you can help me with this issue.
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Yes, you should definitely consult doctor and get done clinical examination of thighs and groin area. Sudden onset of groin pain is commonly seen with torsion of testes. You are having increasing pain with tenderness on touching, so you should definitely consult doctor and get done clinical examination of lower abdomen, groin and ultrasound examination of abdomen and scrotum to rule out 1. Torsion of testes 2. Stone in urinary system. 3. Infection. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.

Hi doctor,I have hypertension. Please suggest some natural ways to treat it.
Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor forum. I understand that you are not interested in taking medications for hypertension for a long time. So I am suggesting you a natural way of dealing with hypertension. Take raisins. Soak it in rose water overnight. Chew and eat it in the morning. You have to follow this for 21 days with 1 raisin on the first day, 2 raisins on the second day, 3 raisins on the third day and so on till you have 21 raisins on the 21 st day. Then stop this and after a gap of 2 weeks, repeat this. Follow 4 to 5 cycles like this. Meanwhile, keep taking your allopathic medication during this period. Afterward, you can taper off the medication. Keep checking your blood pressure after every 21 days. This might work for you depending on your body condition. Also, try to do meditation and yoga.

There are several reasons of missed or delayed period like hormonal imbalance, stress,irregular eating habit, ovarian cyst, thyroid problem etc. but have to exclude pregnancy. You do a fresh USG lower abdomen and hormone profile to rule out underlying pathology. Then consult with gynecologist and take advice accordingly. Be well.

My two year old son received a third degree burn on his index finger. A piece of melted plastic stuck to the top of his finger from the fingernail to the first joint, and covered the finger from side to side. It has since continued to reveal it s severity, as the subcutaneous layer turned white and has stopped leaking plasma. My question is, could he lose the function of his cuticle, and what kind of procedure can we expect at the E.R.

Hi, I have an aching pain in the back of my mouth on the right side. It is below the gumline. My teeth dont hurt, only the area below the gumline when touched. I looked and I can see a very fine white line running horizontally across exactly where the pain is, what could this be?
Hello, Thanks for consulting Chat Doctor, Read your query, as you have pain in gum this can be due to inflammation of gingival may be due to gingivitis, periodontal problem leads to periodontitis, impaction of wisdom tooth or due to leukoedema or lichen plans condition. For this I will suggest you that you should consult oral surgeon and go for visual examination of oral cavity, if it is due to gingival or periodontal problem go for oral prophylaxis, In meantime you can do warm saline rinses, for pain you can take analgesic like painted or paracetamol by consulting with your doctor. Hope it will help you. Wishing you good health. Regards,

Hi, Im 19, female and have been having severe chest pains for over two months (i think anxiety attacks) however since yesterday i have had a strong abdominal pain which seems to be making the chest pain alot more severe and im extremely pale. Should i mention the chest pain i have had since i was a small child (5) and doctors have never been able to tell me or my parents what it is, only at the age of 15 i had my first fit because of it... i feel the pane,it gradually builds up, go pale, then start shaking uncontrollably...everytime it happens when i get to the hospital im ok. I dont know what to do, please provide me with some constructive advice.Thank you Best regards Ana
HI Ana. It is so unfortunate for you and your parents that in spite of your classical history, Doctors could not diagnose you. This history is classical of a few things :Event ration of the diaphragmHiatus hernia. Herniation of intestines through the diaphragm into the chest pain causing you the cascade of symptoms you wrote> strong abdominal pain which seems to be making the chest pain a lot more severe and I am extremely pale>I would advise you the followingX-ray of the chest and abdomen when you have an attack;;.CT scan Barium studies. Once the diagnosis is made the surgery may make you symptom-free and alright forever.

Hello doctor,I am 30 years old male. Weight is 107 kg, and height is 5\9. Not under any medications. (Not been on any medication for over a year previous medications include numerous mental health medications, various SSRIs, Clomipramine, and several anti-psychotics, most recently Olanzapine). I tried Lymecycline a couple of years ago and multiple creams for acne in the past.I have a history of mental health problems. I have a diagnosis of Asperger syndrome, OCD, anxiety, and depression. My anxiety levels have been chronic for many years due to the severity of my obsessive thoughts and compulsions etc. I think that my poor mental state has impacted on my health. I have had severe skin problems since I was about 17 or so. I get huge cysts that often recur in the same place with large boils. I have some large permanent cysts. I seem to break out at certain times.I also have a condition known as a functional neurological disorder. I will be seeing a neurologist here in the at a movement disorders clinic to deal with this in the near future. I also developed eyelash ptosis, where my eyelash in my right eye keeps growing long. My Ophthalmologist told me that it needs to be trimmed regularly with scissors or that I have to use curlers, as it can impair my visual field. The neurological or psychological aspects may be affecting my other conditions.I have had athlete\s foot for the past year. Due to my mental or neurological problems and depression, I have been housebound for most of the last year. I tend not to shower much or brush my teeth due to this (but I am trying to change my life with the help and change this). I walk around in my bare feet in the house most of the time, and when I do go out, I tend to wear crocs.The athlete\s foot has become more itchy or burning recently. Also, for the past year or two, I have two fungal nails. My big toes on both feet are very yellow looking at the front of the pins (I have ingrown nails in the past). What I am concerned about is my fingernail.I do not know how I did this? About two weeks ago, I noticed that my middle finger on my right hand was very painful when I touched it. I cannot remember if I pulled the nail, and this has caused some infection, or if it is related in some way to the fungal nail infections on my toes or my athlete\s foot.I will show you some pictures, and I would like your advice on what to do next. Due to my mental state, I have not taken good care of my body, but I am trying to address this.My athlete\s foot is entirely wrong. If I start treating this with cream, I am likely to see an improvement. Also, what can I do about the fungal nails? I also have a pilonidal cyst on my tailbone. It was initially very painful to sit down (I am overweight, spend a lot of time sitting at my desk, etc.). This cyst is intermittent, but there are times when it can be very itchy. As you can see, I am not in the best shape, but I am trying to address both my mental health and my physical health by starting to take better care of myself, eat better, exercise, etc.The main concern is the fingernail. Do I have an infection? Can it be serious to blood flow/losing limbs, or is this my anxiety and the things I\ve read on Google. I am quite concerned. I cannot see a doctor for another week or two. I have had this fingernail problem for about two weeks, and it is very sore and very red.
Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor forum. I have gone through your case and all treatments which you have taken so far. It is good that you have explained all your medical history as every doctor should know it in detail. However, your finger infection is not related to history. It is a new event. Regarding your finger, you need nothing to worry as it is an infection of the skin, and your finger will not go away. In my opinion, this is not a fungal infection. It is a bacterial infection. I can very well understand that it must be very painful for you as it is entirely red. You need some oral medication for its treatment. 1. Take capsule Amoxil 500 mg three times a day for seven days. 2. Take tablet Ibuprofen 400 mg two times a day for seven days. 3. Apply Pyodine solution or Fucidin acid cream two times a day for seven days.

I have been having really bad pains in my lower right side of my back between my rib cage and my butt. I did have surgery on my right kidney 4 years ago and it feels like the same pain I experienced previously. I feel the need to use the bathroom all the time and when I do there is a pinkish color in my urine. I m not really sure what is going on and I m not sure whether i should go in. Any suggestions?
HelloThanks for query. You have undergone surgery on your right kidney probably for treatment of kidney stone and now getting severe pain in loin and irritation voiding symptoms . Pain in Rt flank and frequent urination is most likely to be due to recurrence of kidney stone. Please consult qualified Urologist for clinical examination and get following basic tests done to confirm the diagnosis.1) Urine routine and culture.2) Ultrasound scanning of abdomen and pelvis. Further treatment or any more tests to be done will depend upon result of these tests and final diagnosis. Chat Doctor.

Hello, I have a question regarding herpes. My partner and I found out that he has herpes virus but no symptoms for the past ten years. The question is I have no symptoms and we have two children together with no symptoms either. Is their any possibility that we could be infected or carrying the virus? How can we be sure?
Hi. Thanks for the query. If your husband is diagnosed that he has Herpes virus but have not got any eruptions in the past ten years clearly indicate the virus is in dormant stage. Once a person is exposed to Herpes virus he becomes a lifetime carrier of the virus, although there is not always an active infection and the virus can remain dormant in small numbers in the nerves and can stay inactive in the nerves for years. In case if there is reduced immunity of the body or the resistance is reduced due to some reason then the reactivation and multiplication of the virus can take place leading to outburst of infection. You can consult an Infectious Medicine Specialist and get evaluated for viral infection by undergoing tests like Antigen-antibody reaction, Polymerase chain reaction etc. as per requirement and the test report can help in assuring you with the exact condition. Hope this helps. Regards.

13 month old with a temperature up to 38.8 goes down with tylonol now back down to normal today then woke up screaming uncontrollably (never cries) what could this be? she has alot of teeth esp the side big ones all came in at once a bit ago. could it be possible that its a sign of two year molers?
Hi... Thank you for consulting in Chat Doctor. Fever of few days without any localizing signs could as well a viral illness. Usually rather than fever, what is more important is the activity of the child, in between 2 fever episodes on the same day. If the kid is active and playing around when there is no fever, it is probably viral illness and it doesn't require antibiotics at all. Once viral fever comes it will there for 4-7 days. So do not worry about duration if the kid is active. I DO NOT THINK THIS IS RELATED TO MOLARS. Regards -

Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You may have ascites. It is collection of fluid in peritoneal cavity. It may be due to low protein, infection, tuberculosis or malignant. You should go for ascetic fluid examination. It will give you exact diagnosis. Then you should take treatment accordingly. Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Wish you a very good health.

My 14 year old son had the following symptoms- diarrhea, light headedness, fatigue. Dr. put him on 2 Prilosec a day + high fiber diet. Shortly after he complained of chest pains and still has pain but only when he lifts something. Could the chest pain be muscular or do you think it could be related to his diarrhea or the meds? Since he has changed his diet and been on the Prilosec he has not had any diarrhea.
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Possibility of musculoskeletal pain is more likely because your pain is associated with lifting (movements). So avoid movements causing pain. Avoid heavyweight lifting and strenuous exercise. Take painkiller and muscle relaxant Chat Doctor. Apply warm water pad on affected areas of chest. 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.

hi, i have a heart condition, arrythmias and have a pacemaker in, the last few weeks my symtoms have gotten a lot worse, i have more palpatations, breathlessnes and chest pain/discomfort. my pacemaker is designed to slow my heart down but recently i have been having a lot of tachychardias. i am exhausted all the time. does this mean that the pacemaker has stopped helping or could there be something else going on, can you help, thank you!
As per your details, it seems you have got an AID. Now as you are having recurrent palpitations and breathlessness despite having this pacemaker that should slow your heart rate. This means your pacemaker is not sensing the high heart rate (if it is there!). This could be due to the depletion of the battery or some fault with the lead. First get an EKG done to see if real tachycardia is there that is causing your symptoms of palpitations and breathlessness. And if it there, then get your pacemaker interrogated to find out the cause of its malfunction.

dear doctori want to say that my mind is not sharp. i am a good student at school and college. now i am studying and as well as doing job but my concentration power is low now. i am 23 years old. my job timing is 9 to 6. after that i take 2 hours rest and then study for 3 hours but my concentration is low.pls give me some tips to sharp my mind and suggest me something like some dose or any type of exercise to fresh my mind and concentrate on my studyRgdsArif Hussain
Dear Arif, thanks for sharing your problems. Poor concentration can happen due to many things like decrease sleep, nutrition deficiency like iron deficiency or anemia, lack of proper atmosphere, or can be due to depression. All these need evaluation by a doctor. Anxiety can also hamper concentration. Various medicines are available in market like Brahma etc. but frankly speaking no such mind sharpening medicines available or will help. Yes relaxation exercises can help you like deep breathing or yoga Panama will help. If you still feel sad and worried, it better to visit a psychiatrist.

I havnt bashed my leg but I had a lump which is bruised come up a couple of weeks ago and now another one underneath they are sore when i stand up and walk & I also have pain in my bum cheek on the same side when walking I don t know if it s connected
Hello! Thank you for the query. Such lump can be a varicose vein with blood clot or if you take anticoagulants, hematoma. Varicose vein with blood clot and pain while walking can be a sign of veins thrombosis. Painful and tender calf is typical for this condition. Hematoma if left alone can lead to infection. Both conditions need to be checked by a general surgeon. Veins thrombosis should be treated with heparin injections. Hematoma should be Chat Doctor. Hope this will help. Regards.

My son has a mole on his chin, he pulled a hair out of it. Now his jaw line is a bit swollen and some pus has come out. We have cleaned it with peroxide and put neosporin on it. Should he have it looked at by our doctor and possibly need to be on antibotics?
HelloThanks for consulting ChatDoctorRead your query as your son had swollen jaw with pus discharge possibly pus discharge can be due to infection in tooth or in infection in gum that is infection in periodontal ligaments. So for this you should have to consult dentist and go for TM visual examination of gum if needed go for investigations Iowa X-ray of region of pus discharge and go for its treatment. Possibly Treatment for infection in gums is curettage and oral prophylaxis, if infection is there in tooth then root canal treatment should be done. In meantime you do warm saline rinses 2, 3 times a day AMD you can take antibiotic like amoxicillin or ofloxacine by consulting with you local doctor. Hope this will help you.

I developed a roudish, small lump on top if my hand, after doing nothing to injure it. The lump sort of rolls around but is either atop a vein...or, in it. This happened over a10-min period...suddenly, lump appeared and became purplish in colorish and stingy. Im worried about developing a blood clotting disorder.
Hi! Good morning. I am Chat Doctor answering your query. Although it needs a clinical assessment, from your history, it seems to be a hematoma and if there is no history of any injury, and if it increases in size, you have to get it assessed by your family physician or the treating physician to rule out your suspicion of a clotting disorder with related investigations. I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts. Thanks for choosing Chat Doctor to clear doubts on your health problems. I wish you an early recovery. Chat Doctor.

T cell count above 500 is suggestive of good immunity. This shows you will recover fast and chances of infection is very less. Chances that this cell number will improve are very less specially since you have AIDS since 20 year, I would suggest you to go for this surgery if your doctor allows. Any way with low T cell count you are prone to infection so avoid contacting with infection like wear mask, take clean and homemade food. Avoid going to public places where you can catch infection through Chat Doctor.

Hi Doctor , can i know whether fertilisation has taken place through the follicular study. I m asked to take Letrose from the 2nd day of my periods and to carry out a follicular study next month. Now i m under Regestrone and i had a miscarriage once, so i m a bit worried, is that caused by Letrose
Hi, Letrose, used to be taken for ovulation induction, it is not advisable anymore. You should prefer another ovulation inducting agent(egg forming agent) like camphene. I would like to know if you have any indication for ovulation induction like, have you been diagnosed with PCs or not? Regestron is a progesterone hormone containing tablet, it is given after fertilization. But not unless there is reason to believe that there is luteal phase defect or decrease in progesterone levels. Hope this helps. Regards.

I have an ache on the left side of my abdomen almost reaching around to my back, it is also making me feel a bit sick. I dont know if they are related but last week i had itchy bruises on my lower legs and i seem to be needing to urinate quite urgently.
Hi ! Good evening. I am Chat Doctor answering your query. If I were your doctor, I would advise you for a urine routine/microscopic/culture sensitivity test to rule out a UTI and treat it if positive, and this might relieve you of your abdominal pain. In addition, I would also advise you for a CBC, a clotting profile, an LFT, a serum amylase and lipase and an ultrasound of abdomen to rule out any pathology of the pancreas and the biliary system. An ECG would be optional depending on the result of the clinical assessment of your abdomen and chest. Till the reports of clinical assessment and the related investigation are co-related to arrive at a diagnosis, I would advise you for an anti-spasmodic Chat Doctor.

Hello Right sided abdominal pain may be due to many reasons like gall bladder calculus, liver,right renal pathology, colitis etc. You need clinical correlation and investigations like routine hologram, random blood sugar, liver function test, renal function test and ultrasound of abdomen. Ultrasound is most important in your case. It can exclude many possibilities. Proper treatment depend upon findings. Get well soon. Take Care Chat Doctor.

I am having numbness on my left thumb, point finger and middle finger. I am having problems with my left shoulder too when sleeping on my right side, shoulder pain like it is disconnecting. I had this problem since I had a car accident last 1993. Had surgery done on my left shoulder but I didn t have any record of what the doctor did. I hope I am not having heart problem or being diabetic. I won t be able to call my doctor not until Monday due to New Years weekend. I was searching the internet and I found something about Pectoralis Minor Trigger point. Please need help. Thank you. God Bless and Happy New Year.
Hi, thank you for providing the brief history of you. As you mentioned you met an accident in 1993 and had surgery done also, the type of surgery to know is important. If any plate or screw is present it may lead to irritation to the nerve and may give such symptoms. How is the strength in your upper limb. These symptoms can arise due to even because of the nerve getting trapped in its course or may be in the cervical spine region, for which you may need an MRI / CT scan. Which can help us if any nerve getting trap due to disc lesion.Maybe you need some neck and upper limb strengthening exercises post that your numbness issue will come down. You can even take guidance from a physical therapist what exercises can be performed, and he will surely assist you. Also, getting once checked by a cardiologist and heart check will be on a safer side. Prevention is better than cure. For more query if you have any you can contact me directly. RegardsJay In Chat Doctor.

In the last two nights as I was sitting on my couch, I all of a sudden found myself gasping for breath. The first time it happened I got a bit dizzy with it. tonight it was just the gasping for breath. This has never happened before while wide awake. But Ive been experiencing this just as Im falling asleep lately.
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. In my opinion, we should first rule out Pulmonary embolism and heart related to because both of them can cause sudden onset loss of breath and dizziness. So get done 1. ECG, 2d echo to rule out heart related diseases. 2. CT Pulmonary angiography to rule Pulmonary embolism. If all these are normal then no need to worry about major heart and lung related diseases. Sometimes, stress and anxiety can also cause similar symptoms. So if you are having these then better to avoid stress and tension, be relaxed and calm. Don't worry, you will be alright. But first rule out heart and lung diseases. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.

Hi Doctor, I am 22 years old (Unmarried) . My Tbigm is 2.25 it comes out positive. I am regularly suffering with the pain at the right bottom side of stomach. My periods are also not regular, Last was on January 2012. Doctor said that it is infection and you will have to continue treatment for 6 month bt they didnt specify the reason why this infection happened to me. Still with the regularity of medicines i am suffering with the pain.Please specify me the reason of this infection and its effects.Thank you
Hi. Tuberculosis of the abdomen is caused by specific bacteria and goes to intestine by either an oral route or blood stream. The best way to diagnose the pain in your case would be to undergo CT scan of the abdomen after a proper preparation. Also, good is the investigation called Enterocytes if CT indicates an obstructing lesion yet can not specify. You may need a surgery for removing the cause of pain.

Hello. Thank you for writing to us at Chat Doctor I suggest a possibility of either Irritant Dermatitis due to excreta coming in contact with skin and made even worse by diaper occlusion.However, I would like to keep another possibility of Zinc deficiency. Zinc deficiency can present with bright red rash on perorificial areas like buttocks, personal region as well as with aural distribution like fingers, toes etc. Diarrhea is also part of Zinc deficiency in those who have it. If I was the treating doctor I would suggest you to avoid diapers and keep the affected area open to air and as Chat Doctor. Topically you may use a moderately potent topical steroid e.g. fluticasone propionate 0.05% cream, twice daily. I also suggest an Oral Zinc supplement for a few days. I suggest you to visit a doctor for a confirmatory diagnosis as well as appropriate treatment. Regards

HI ,I am suffering with fungal infection on my ties from last 3 year. doctor suggested tab :Gris -OD(daily one for 45 days) and cream KETO to apply on surface of skin.my question is i need to use it 45 days mandatory r any thing else to heal in 10 are 15 days.Regards Vijay Kumar
Although not mandatory to use for 45 days, I would insist on prolonged use as your doctor has advised. This is because, some fungal hype remain there for long and often germinate after the course is completed. This may lead to failure of treatment which can be avoided with prolonged treatment with topical ketoconazole (keto cream) and oral griseofulvin (Gris OD). Your doctor has given you the right medicines, so please continue it.

I have been diagnosed with an inguinal hernia which is scheduled to be repaired on Sept 25th. I have a constant feeling of being light headed and occasionally a sinking feeling (like a deep plunge on a roller coaster). Is this light headedness and sinking feeling common with hernias? My BMs are fine, I dont have severe pain or a temperature to indicate strangulation but I just feel off.
Hi. Inguinal hernia: light headdress and sinking feeling i never due to hernia. Since you have to undergo anesthesia for the surgery, you have t get the Physicians fitness. I would recommend you to have a clinical examination and relevant investigations like X-ray Chest, ECG, CT scan of the brain and MRI of the neck with angiography and mastoids to see for the reason for this light headdress and feeling of sinking-Final opinion of the Neurologist is very important. IF all the things are normal then only go for a Surgery. Hernia Surgery is always a planned surgery.

Hi! I ve had bronchitis for the past week. I ve been to the doctor twice and put on antibiotics but now I have a sharp, stabbing pain on my left side. When I m sitting still it doesn t really hurt but if I cough, sneeze, take a deep breath, or turn I feel that bad pain. What is it and what cand I do?
Hi, Since you were suffering from bronchitis, the most likely cause of this pain is pleurisy(inflammation of pleura/lining of lungs). We also need to rule out any cardiac cause of pain. You might need evaluation in form of Complete Blood Counts, ESR, Chest X-ray and ECG. You can take painkillers for symptom relief and continue antibiotics. In case your symptoms persist, or you develop fever, then kindly consult your treating doctor, who can arrange for the above investigations. Hope it helps.

I am 72 years old female and two days ago felt uncomfortable abdominal area and started peeing frequently. Also my bowl movement was watery. I started drinking cranberry juice. So now the feeling of uncomfortable is gone but peeing once in 2-3 hours.
Hi. Thanks for your query. Your history is suggestive of a combined infection of gastrointestinal tract and urinary tract. Most of the antibiotics have good effect on both the conditions simultaneously. I would advise the following:::First send the sample of urine before start of the antibiotics. Start the appropriate antibiotics and supportive medicines the moment your samples has been given; do not wait for the reports. Continue cranberry juice. Get a prescription for the medicines as also for the probiotic and supportive medicines

Im overseas in France on vacationing and just noticed a lump on my daughters (7) front part of her next an inch or two above her collarbone. she is on an inhaler for bronchitis but no medicine other than that. Wat is it? Should she stop using her inhaler?
Halloumi on the collar bone is generally due to enlarged lymph nodes. This is the site of lymph Chat Doctor. Lymph nodes in this region may be enlarged due to ear, throat infection etc. It is not related to inhaler, so she shouldn't stop inhaler. Generally these conditions only require conservative treatment. Underlying cause should be treated. She also needs clinical examination. Get well soon. Take Care

Hello Dr. Grief. I am having very severe chest pains while breathing and I have been belching for over an hour now. I have taken tea and hot water and have gotten some nice belches, but I can barely breathe because my chest hurts so badly. Should I rush to the hospital?
Hi, Sir/Madam. Welcome to Chat Doctor. I understand your concern. Many of your symptoms could possibly relate to an underlying acid reflux disease. Acid reflux disease is occasionally known to cause difficulty in breathing, chest tightening and belching. At this moment, I advise you to get an upper gastrointestinal endoscopy to detect the presence of any mucosal ulceration or erosion in the upper stomach which is causing you the symptoms. Simultaneously It's important to rule out other serious cardiac ailments which can present similarly. For this I recommend that have a 2 D echo and ECG. Once these cardiac issues are ruled out, the focus can be shifted on Gastric issues. For the endoscopy, I advise you to see an expert, Gastroenterologist.Meanwhile, for symptomatic relief I generally treat my patients with oral tablets of Pantoprazole and Risperidone. I suggest you to please see a doctor if his/she views are same and if he/she can prescribe these Chat Doctor. Further management is largely based on the results of the endoscopy. Post your further queries if any. Thank you.

Hello doctor,I am a 46-year-old male. A month ago, I had a heart stroke and underwent angio for blood clotting thrombus. My CBC report at that time shows a platelet count at 24 lakhs. I received CALR Exon 9 mutation analysis report today. It reads "CALR Exon 9 mutation is detected by PCR amplification of Exon 9 of CALR, followed by sequencing of coding and junctional region of the Exon. The sequence is compared with the reference sequence NM-004343 for the analysis of mutations." Hematologist prescribed me Anagrelide 0.5 mg. Do I have to worry? Can it be cured by medication?
Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor forum. You have very high levels of platelets which are called \primary thrombocytosis\ or \essential thrombocytosis\, which was confirmed by CALR Gene mutation test. This condition will results in either clots or sometimes bleeding in any part of the body. There are few treatment options available to control the disease, Anagrelide is one of them, which is supposed to be taken along with Aspirin. Please consult a hematologist who will monitor the condition and give you treatment. Please discuss with the hematologist if you can be tried on Hy ChatDoctor.

Hi doctor,I am 26 years old and now 36 weeks pregnant. I just noticed my stool appeared as a mixture of white and brown long particles. I never had white poop in such lengths. My scan reports were normal a month ago. Is there any problem to worry? Is there any threat to the baby? Should I visit the doctor urgently? Please help.
Hi. Passage of white or brown particles in stool does not harm baby and there is no need to be alarmed. You can visit a physician or gastroenterologist for a physical evaluation, to confirm the nature of the problem and take treatment if required. If there are no other stomach symptoms, that visit too is not an emergency. If you have white string in stools along with other symptoms like loose stools or vomiting and pain in abdomen/fever, you need to visit a doctor as early as possible.

Im a 16 year old female. Iv been experiencing occasional sharp pain in my chest and often get the feeling I cant breath properly for up to 4 seconds, where I feel as if theres no oxygen, I have had an asma test and an ECG however mother came back as um usual
Hi thanks for asking question. You have normal ECG so cardiac cause here seems to be less likely. First you might have such pain by bad sleep posture. Simple analgesic can be taken. Hot compress found useful. Take sleep in supine position. Second by any hard activity or weight lifting of heavy object can lead to muscular strain and such pain can occur. Analgesic taken for it. Third if you have gastric problems then by it chest pain can occur. Treat it with omeprazole or suitable treatment. Mostly above-mentioned causes most likely in your case. But if still want to rule out if history of cough and fever then respiratory viral infection has to be ruled out. Possibility of pneumonitis like infection also has to be ruled out. Chest x-ray and CBC will be helpful. Antibiotic may be needed for it.Finally, if you are taking excess stress then also pain can occur. Wish you good health. Chat Doctor.

Hi, I am a 38 year old woman. Two years ago, I lost 100 lb with diet and exercise. About two years ago, I started having back pain (lower right side). About 1 year after that, my right shoulders starting hurting while using exercise equipment. In March (while on the treadmill), my toes on my right foot start to cramp under like spasms. From that point on after walking about 30 minutes I experience the cramping. Later(over the past 3 months), I ve had a tightness in my right thigh (which actually started slightly prior to the cramping) but is now accompanied by knee pain and throbbing . My right arm continues to hurt and for the last two months I ve had a twitch in my wrist. My pinkie finger shakes when I use it for support. I ve been to several doctors. The only thing I ve been told is that I am anemic (iron deficiency) but they are not sure about the source of my symptoms. I also have a sore tooth (molar)on the right side of my mouth. What could be causing my symptom?
Dear Madam, it is good to know that you have lost 100 lb with diet and exercise. Your back pain, toe cramp and tightness in the thigh all have source in your nerve coming out of spinal cord in sacrum area. We have a soft tissue like substance in between our vertebra. These are called vertebral discs. If these discs gets torn or displaced due to many reasons then the nerves get entrapped between vertebral bones.it causes pain, muscle cramps, numbness along back and two legs. Also you should give rest to your right arm which has been injured. Your wrist twice has caused the local nerves affected causing finger shake., so please go for a comprehensive orthopedic check-up to know the exact status of your wrist joint. But I assure you that your sore tooth has nothing in relation with your muscle cramp of leg pain. Thank you.

Hi My Dad 61 yrs old is had a back pain complains so after and MRI the result is L5/S1 DISC - posterial protrusion indenting the thecal sac and impinging on the traversing roots at the lateral recess; mild bony canal narrowing is present. L4/5 Disc - Diffuse posterior budge with annular tear indenting the thecal sac and touching the traversing roots at the lateral recess. L3/4 Disc - Posterior central protrusion indenting the thecal sac and impinging on the traversing roots at the lateral recess. Whole spine survey: c3/4 and c5/6 discs - posterior protrusion indenting the thecal sac and cord . no cord edema seen. - is surgergy necessary for this?
Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor. I am Chat Doctor Psychiatry from India. I have read your question carefully and understood it. Furthermore, I can understand your concern. Furthermore, I will try my best to answer your query. The condition you are mentioning here is called prolapse intervertebral disc with neuronal compromise. I will make you understand this disease. Our vertebral column is a bony structure which is made up of many bones called vertebrae. Vertebral column is hollow towards posterior side to accommodate spinal cord. In between two vertebrae there is a cartilaginous disc which is a main part of vertebral joint. Sometimes due to wear and tear or injury to vertebra, an intervertebral disc gets prolapsed and bulges posteriorly. If this prolapse is severe then this disc may impinge upon the spinal cord and emerging spinal nerves roots. This condition is dangerous as it may cause paralysis of lower portion of body. In your fathers' case it is more complicated due to multiple levels of involvement at both cervical (neck) and lumbar region. Sooner or later surgery may be required. I suggest you to follow the advice of his treating neurosurgeon who may advise correctly the right time of surgery according to functional capacity of your father. I wish your father a better health.

I m looking for a personal opinion although from a professional. I ve heard two sides as to what causes and composes a superiority complex. Some say it is caused by an underlining inferiority complex, some say the very nature of a superiority complex defies that logic.
Degree understand your concerns went through your details. In psychology, complex simply means feeling. When I am showing superior complex, in actuality, I am feeling superior to someone and am I showing it as my jewelry and behaves as if the other person is inferior to me. At the other hand, when I feel inferior, my feelings are that I am feeling inferior to the person in question. These complexes are purely feelings or emotional attributes. Person with inferiority complex with a person named A may not show the same complex with person named B. That also is true with superiority complex. Therefore, these complex / feeling are also based on perception and personal experience. If you still need my assistance in this regard, please use this link. http://goo.gl/aYW2pR. Please remember to describe the whole problem with full detail. Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications. Good luck.

Thank you. A change was made in my medication for Parkinson disease which I ve had since 2008. I had been taking ordenary carbidopa/levadopa 23/100, but my neurologist wanted me to try the Controlled Release type. I started having a problem taking a deep breath and yawning, and in checking out info regarding this new med, it lists bizarre breathing problems as a possible side-effect. This matches my symptoms, for sure, but I was wondering what the considered a bizarre breathing problem. I even had to go to the ER two nights ago as it was getting really bad. After doing all kinds of tests there, they said they couldn t find any serious problem (with heart, lung, etc.) They did find I have a UTI and prescribed med for that. But they didn t help me with the breathing problem. So any info you could offer would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Parkinson's disease is neuropsychiatric disease. You're all routine reports for heart and lung are normal, so possibility of psychological cause for your bizarre breathing is more. And hence, better to consult psychiatrist and get done counseling sessions. Try to identify stressor in your life and start working on its solution. You may need anxiolytic and other anti-psychotic Chat Doctor. Don't worry, you will be alright. Avoid stress and tension, be relaxed and calm. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.

Hi there, I have gone downhill since before 2008. The consultant advised me it was the bird feathers on my elderly parakeet that caused scarring of the lungs. (re-occurrent chest infections) New consultant, 2012, does not agree with allergy and thinks it is something else. I have just recovered from pneumonia (hospitalised) and tamiflu, they found this in one of my lungs, after bronchoscopy to find cause of inflammation in the lungs. I was too ill for them to do biopsy, but they performed washings...that is how they came across the flu virus. Have taken the emergency meds for that now and hopefully on the road to recovery. I have fostair steroid inhaler and ventolin inhalers and doxycline for a month. I have a consultant appointment in early May. I do trust my consultant and he wants the answer to what is attacking my lungs as much as me. I hate inhalers though, especially the steroid one, as have osteroporosis...on a natural diet and exercise programme for this. Any advice you can give me?
Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor. I am not certain what the diagnosis is at this stage: possibilities (1) central bronchiectasis, with asthma and aspergillus sensitivity (not certain if this test was done) is APA (Allergic Bronchopulmonary Aspergilli); (2) or depending on the nature of your work, or the number of avian species at home it is hypersensitivity pneumonitis. You need the following tests:1. HRCT Chest2. Precipitins3. Or Aspergillus IgG4. Total IGE levels5. Skin prick test to aspergillus species6. Pulmonary function tests must get these tests done when you are well from this recent infection. A combination of steroids and antifungals could be tried if it is hypersensitivity pneumonitis. Best Wishes.

am trying to conceive,i have one child and went on contraceptive,i took the chines pill for one pill a month and 6 months has passed without me gettn pregnant,i have just finished taking ova care,then i was advised to take migroganyon for faster conception,what should i take to clear the contraceptive?
Hi there, I have understood your concern. I will suggest you the best possible treatment options. 1) First do not panic. 2) As such, the effect of oral contraceptive pills gets over within 24 hours after taking the last pill. Onset of periods after finishing the pills indicates that your new menstrual and hormonal cycle has begun. 3) In case you are unable to conceive even after stopping the pills, then you need to get few things checked. A. USG - to know structural normalcy of your uterus and Ovaries. B. SG - hysterosalpingography, within first ten days of the cycle, this helps to know about the patency of fallopian tubes. C. SEMEN ANALYSIS, to know about the quality and quantity of the sperms. 4) If you have history of regular cycles then day 10 to 20 of the cycle.is the most fertile period of cycle. If you happen to have unprotected sex act in this period, then You Stand chance to get pregnant. 5) please start on Folic acid, vitamin B 12 and Omega-3 supplements at least 3 months before you plan to get pregnant. This helps to prevent many problems during pregnancy and delivery. I hope this answer helps you. Thanks.

i am 50 years old, present i am suffering from severe cough & phlegm in my chest. one week back i went a doctor. After investigations there is no trouble in blood tests. But in chest x ray found heavy phlegm. Doctor gave some medicine like 1. tab. Xaria (night time) 2. Blukof Cough syrup for 5 days 3.tab.Doxi flo (Half morning & Half night) 4. Tab.Cefoloc (200 mg) 5 days 5. Lupihaler 6. Budamate (inhaler capsules) Also Doctor told that I have to use the xaria tab & Lupihaler long time. Please tell me how long i can use the both medicine. kindly inform any side effect for usage of long time.
Depending upon the condition we have to use steroids. For example bronchial asthma and COPD patients they have to use long term inhaler therapy. Right now what is your X-ray chest report, how frequently you're getting breathing difficulty and what about your lab reports and spirometry. Generally in acute bronchitis and acute asthma attack we don't advice inhaler more than 2 weeks. Most commonly this inhaler steroids and bronchodilators cause repeated pharyngitis, peptic ulcer, osteoporosis, weight gain, tremor, palpitations. Use mouth gargle every time after inhaler use. Plenty of liquids, avoid alleged that causes your problem.

I have a disc problem a lower back disc separated in car accident . I am trying not to have surgery I have a lot of problems unbearable pain I had therapy, epidural,pain killers,muscle relaxers etc. nothing has helped could you please help me if you can give me some helpful advice I would appreciate it Thank you
Hello, Thank you for writing to Chat Doctor about your query, Brief Answer - Anti-inflammatory medication such as aspirin, Physical therapy, Steroid injections etc. Explained Answer - Conservative treatment of lower disc pain usually is successful over time. It includes:1. Pain medication or pain therapies such as ultrasound, massage or transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation2. Anti-inflammatory medication such as aspirin, ibuprofen and acetaminophen3. Physical therapy4. Steroid injections5. Education in proper stretching and posture6. RestHowever, if your pain doesn't respond to conservative treatment in two to four weeks, your condition affects your bowel or bladder function, or if it threatens permanent nerve damage, your doctor may suggest surgery. The surgery usually includes removing the part of the disc that has squeezed outside its proper place, called a discectomy. The surgeon also may want to remove the back part of the vertebrae, called the lamina, In a laminectomy; or to surgically open the foramen, the holes on the side of the vertebrae through which the nerves exit, in a foramenotomy. Only about 10 percent of adult lumbar disc patients require surgery and even fewer child Chat Doctor. Hope You will find it out helpful. Thanks And

Hi. I had open heart surgery for removal of a left atrial myxoma on 11/25/13. Minimal invasive procedure ( incision under my right breast) discharged on 11/29. 11/30 had palpitations and irregular beats (PAC and some PVC ) - no atrial fib. Was put on Lopressor 25 mg daily (12.5mg in am and 12.5 mg in evening). I still feel SOB ( same as before the surgery). Cardiologist said cardiac wise Im fine - should stop the lopressor and maybe see a pulmonologist. He said it is such a small dose that I dont have to wean off of it. 30 years ago I was put on Inderal for migraines(dont remember dose) and I had Sob and developed allergic bronchitis from the Inderal. Is it possible my continued sob could be from the low dose Lopressor and can I stop it abruptly since it is a low dose and I have only been on it for 2 months?
Hello Lopressor and federal are of same group drugs, through Lopressor is more cardiac specific. However, there are fair chances that if you did not tolerate federal you might not tolerate Lopressor too. The dose of federal you are on is very mild, however I would prefer that you take once a day 12.5 mg for a week and then stop to make sure that PAC s don't occur. Yes both federal and Lopressor can cause allergic bronchitis (asthma) like picture, and it should be avoided if that is the case. If at all PAC or any arrhythmia occurs calcium channel blocker like Vera mil / diltiazem would be ideal for you. Let me know if any clarification needed. Regards Chat Doctor.

Hi Dear, Welcome to Chat Doctor. Understanding your concern. As per your query you have infection on face along with facial swelling and pain. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like chicken pox, acne, psoriasis, seborrhea dermatitis, allergic reaction and trigeminal neuralgia. I would suggest you to consult dermatologist for proper examination. Doctor may order complete blood profile or skin test. Doctor may prescribe antibiotics like clindamycin or minocycline at least for 10 days along with anti-inflammatory and steroid ointment. For now wash your face with cold water and mild soap, apply moisturizer and do not apply any cosmetic product. Chat Doctor. You should take diet rich in multivitamins.

Hello, I fell going down wide concrete steps four days ago on the ice, and i hit the back of my head pretty hard. A knot came up on the left parietal bone just above the occipital bone, about the size of a golf ball. I didnt get knocked out, but couldnt move for a few seconds. Afterwards, I only experienced a mild - moderate headache. No other symptoms until day 3, a black eye. My right eyelid is black and purple with some very slight swelling. Since I havent had any other symptoms of concussion and feel pretty good, I havent considered getting a CTscan. But now wonder if this black eye is an indication that something could be wrong. Could this indicate some damage??
Hi, Yes definitely there is an internal fracture. Black eye means an internal bleeding. This needs to be treated immediately. You need a CT to be done. Also visit a neurologist for the proper assessment and treatment till then apply cold and ice packs alternatively to reduce the pressure on eye, also if there is a swelling on the skull you can apply ice pack over that area to reduce the swelling. Hope this helps you and you recover soon. Let me know if I can assist you further. Jenis Bhagavan

Hello! Welcome on Chat Doctor ! Your symptoms could be related to a medullary spine compression or to an infection. For this reason, I recommend performing a lumbar spine MRI study coupled with some blood lab tests (complete blood count, PCR, sedimentation rate). You should discuss with your neurologist on these issues. A neurological exam is necessary before performing these tests. Hope you will find this answer helpful! Wishing all the best,

A few months ago I had a mild heart attack and had all the test possible and they said no damage was done. I also had brain scans to se if I may have had a clot . RegardsRosie

Hi I had an abdominal ultrasound today for some pain Ive been having lately on my right side. This is what it says Both kidneys show parenchymal thinning. The right kidney showed prominence of he pyramids, cause not identified . I would like to know what this means. Thanks.
Hi, Thanks for writing in. The kidneys have an outer cortex and inner medulla. This outer part is called parenchymal and in some kidney conditions, the parenchymal gets thin and this can mean you have a kidney condition. Since your age and history of any condition predisposing to kidney problems is not mentioned, therefore it is important to get your kidney function tests done in detail. This includes serum creatinine and complete urinalysis. Excretion of proteins in the urine is also to be evaluated. Any secondary kidney infection needs to be ruled out. It can mean that you are having early medical renal disease and there is some problem in the processes leading to formation of urine. Please talk to your nephrologist and start taking treatment at the earliest.

Hi doctor,A dog bit me hard in my leg. I had a lot of blood flowing from my wound. I cleaned the wound with disinfectant for 20 minutes. Now the blood flow has stopped. I have done preexposure prophylaxis before three months for safety. Do I have to go to the hospital immediately?
Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor forum. You should go to the hospital soon and begin post-exposure prophylaxis as early as possible. It is better to have rabies immunoglobulin injection soon. You should clean the wound with soap and water. Get a ChatDoctor. You have to do

I am 40 year old female and I have a small movable lump in the middle and on the side of my jaw line it dosen t hurt could it be from tooth decay? I noticed it about 2 weeks ago!
Hello there, Thanks for writing your query, Lumps seen in the oral cavity can be of various types. They can be infective lesions related to tooth like periodontal abscess or gingival abscess Chat Doctor. Lumps are also formed due to being or malignant swellings of the jaws. Cysts of the jaws, related to tooth or bone may also lead to swelling. Parotitis or parotid gland swelling may also form lump behind the upper jaw line. Exact diagnosis can be made only after clinical examination and evaluation by taking radiographs. I would suggest you to get and OPG radiograph done which will help in diagnosis and accordingly treatment can be planned. Consult an oral surgeon and get the examination done. I hope this helps, take care.

Hi my grandson has chickenpox and has started with a chesty cough which is very moist. he does have asthma which is viral driven. he is using an inhaled steroid but not had to use his Ventolin.His spots appeared Saturday= 5 days ago- do you think he needs to see a gp- he did faint yesterday - and only being 5 yrs old I know its unusual- I am a practice nurse myself so knew it was a faint as he came round very quickly when I raised his legs- but I am concerned about the cough- any advice would be helpful thankyou
Hello and welcome to Ask A Doctor. I have read your query and here is my advice. Are you certain that your grandsons rash is due to chickenpox? With the availability of the varicella (chickenpox)vaccine, chickenpox is much less common than it used to be. The vaccine is given in the USA to a healthy child in two doses: at 12-15 months of age and between 4 and 6 years of age. So it is possible that he is fully immunized against chickenpox already. However, if he does have chickenpox, it is absolutely essential that you take him to the doctor immediately! A complication of chickenpox is pneumonia. You should notify the doctor's office before you take your grandson in so that the doctor and staff have time to make adjustments, so other persons will not be exposed. Hope I have answered your query. If you have any further questions, I will be happy to help.

My baby was playing with his pianos mic that has a plug ins on the end of it and i think he punctured his ear coz i saw a little blood...I dont know what to do pls help..Im in japan and tomorrow is sunday so theres no doctor and i dont have idea where to bring my son coz the doctor said that ear is not part of his area specialty..What remedies or aid can i do?Any help would be very much appreciated..thank you!!!
Hi. Thanks for the query. It looks like due to injury of the ear canal with the mic tip leading to bleeding from ear most probably due to injury inside the ear canal leading to injury to the lining of the ear canal causing bleeding. Another reason can be perforation of the ear Chat Doctor. . I would suggest you to consult an ENT Expert and get evaluated and a thorough clinical evaluation and investigations like Endoscopy can help in diagnosis and treated accordingly. In case if there is only injury to the lining of ear canal then antibiotic and analgesic ear

I recently had a doctor perform a epidural steroid injection that was supposed to be a left side tranforminal ESI at L-5/S-1. He stuck the needle in my right side of my back/spine. Can a left transforminal ESI be performed via a needle on the right side.
The vertebral column is a single central column. Imagine it like a circular cylinder. Now there are nerves coming out of the cylinder, so we need to be careful there. The left side nerve travels left and right side nerve travels right. So if I go for left from left side, the chances are that I may actually damage a nerve. On TGE left side. Needle is a straight structure. So When I have to get to the side, I move from the right side. Since the nerve is travelling to the right, the needle will not touch it. I move to the left, and the needle reaches the correct place before getting to the nerve hope that explains to you how it is displease feel free to ask another query. I would be glad to help you. Looking forward to your return query with the details asked so that I can help you further. (If the answer has helped you, please indicate this)

Hi Ms Pooja, Thank you for posting your query. I have noted your symptoms, and they are suggestive of a condition called as epilepsy. In epilepsy, a person can faint repeatedly. However, once you take antiepileptic Chat Doctor. Extol (oxcarbazepine) is a good AED, and it is required for long duration. In several people, we are able to stop AED's in 3-5 years. However, in some people, lifelong medicines may be required. Oxetol is a safe medicine and there are no serious side effects with that. I hope it helps. Best wishes,

Im 31 and have Peripheral Neuropathy. My veins on the top of my feet are bulging and tight. This has caused severe burning sensation and pain. Ive asked my Rheumatologist and primary care doctor. Neither of them seem to know what this is caused by or what can alleviate the symptoms.
Hello! Welcome on Chat Doctor! Regareding your concern, I would explain that your symptoms are related to the peripheral neuropathy. For this reason, I would recommend consulting with a neurologist and discussing the possibility of starting therapy with Gabapentin or pregabalin for the pain. From the other hand, considering the fact that you have bulging veins on your feet, it is necessary to perform a Doppler ultrasound of the leg vessels to exclude possible chronic venous insufficiency, which can trigger the situation. Hope to have been helpful! Best wishes,

I had my gallbladder removed six yrs ago...I have been seeing a chiropractor three times this week and felt good today;however, I just ate a salad and I have pain under my right rib cage again. It doesnt hurt when I breath...but this is very uncomfortable
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Since your pain is associated with eating, possibility of acute gastritis and hyperacidity is more. So better to avoid hot and spicy food. Avoid large meals, instead take frequent small meals. Avoid stress and tension. Take pantoprazole tablet on empty stomach. You will mostly improve with all these in 5 days. If not improving then get done ultrasound examination of abdomen to rule out internal cause for your pain. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.

I am 71 years old and my blood pressure has been droping to 115/7 or 20/75. What is to low or to high for me at my age? I feel great. and I am not sick. I take 10/40 blood pressure med and 25Mg of Levothyroxine has been taking it for one year now.Let me know what is to high and low for me concerning blood pressure.mamahrodgers2@gmail
Hello What you had mentioned asymptomatic. So the readings which you have mentioned are likely a false reading and machine error. Because it's possible for any person to have such low BP without any symptoms. One would have dizziness syncope etc. So I think no need to worry about it especially of you are not having any symptoms. And recheck the BP with arm lying relaxed and straight. There should not be a bend at elbow which may falsely lower the BP. Hope this helps you and get back if you have any doubts. Regards

I m very depressed. I ve been fixated and obsessed with the same woman for almost 30 years. I separated from my wife a year ago. This woman contacted me a few weeks ago. I thought she might be single. We talked today and she is still married. I professed my obsession and love for her. I know this is going no where, but I can t help but feel like there is no one else for me and that I will be alone for the rest of my life. How do I put her behind me.
Degree understand your concerns went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. You are having these obsessive thoughts mainly because you are possessive. You feel that, without her, your life could be shattered. Love makes us to think so. Is it so actually? Everyone has to leave the earth one day and the other survives, even though crippled with grief. That too for some time. Then they come back to life. That is the rule of life. If you try to forget forcefully, those obsessive thoughts will bounce back. Instead, you should consider those thoughts are energizing. Also engage yourself in entertaining activities / vocation. If you still need my help, please describe the whole problem in detail and post a direct question to me. I shall definitely help you with psychotherapy techniques to overcome your problems. Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications. Good luck.

ive been having chronic back pain in lower right hand side for around 4 months now and have took a load of different painkillers and anti inflammatories also have been prescribed tablets still no better it started when i was in work in october i was handballing 25kg bags for 12 hours a day 6-7 days a week constantly the pain spreads across to my left sided and up my back but not into my legs, Im thinking i might of slipped a disc because its constant pain.
In my opinion you should stop worrying. For immediate relief have some painkiller along with a muscle relaxant and have proper bed rest for 2 weeks. Do not lie down on soft mattress use hard one instead, do not sit for longer durations and do not travel long distance for 2 weeks. When getting up from bed always take a lateral position first then hang your legs down and then get up. When working, maintain a good posture of your back. Add a lumbar support cushion to you chair. Do not strain your self or over exert. . U can also apply some good anti inflammatory painkiller gel on your back. If the pain increases do some hot fermentation locally and make a routine of doing some back strangling exercise daily. Start will 10 mins twice a day to 20 mins twice a day and walk for 30-40 mins a day alt east. I am sure you will be fine in 2 weeks

woke up at 5 am felt sharp pain right chest above right nipple, first at long intervals 29- 30 seconds, later more frequent, feel stomach a little bloated, feeling a little weak and tired, even after noon nap it s not so painful or frequent now. have move a big box not by lifting but by pushing it and turning it on its side. no pain in left chest, normal breathing now and pulse rate of 72.
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. In my opinion, your pain is more suggestive of musculoskeletal nature as you had heavy exertion by shifting big box. But still I advise you to rule out cardiac and pulmonary cause for this. So get done1. ECG to rule out cardiac cause.2. Chest x-ray to rule out pulmonary cause. If both of the above are normal than it muscle be due to muscle pull. Try to follow these.1. Avoid heavy weight lifting.2. Avoid heavy exertion.3. Avoid bad postures in bed.4. Take good painkillers and muscle relaxant.5. Apply warm water pad to the affected area.

hey. i am 16 weeks of amenorea and a lot of contraction. i take natural progesterone utrogestan but I am living in Kenya and my doctor in kenya asked me to get an injection of primolut 250mg, I have called my doctor from my country in Belgium who said not to take that injection because its useless in my case and not good for baby and forbidden since many years in pregnancy in belgium, my cervix is closed but long of 2cm only and many contractions. primolut injection or not? thxs a lot
Hi there,Both Primal and Progestin are forms of progesterone and given safely in pregnancy. They are given in women whom we suspect to have threatened abortion to prevent from losing the pregnancy. Any one form of the progesterone is fine, you need not take both. They both have similar effectiveness and since you are taking progestin you should continue it. And more so if your cervix is long and closed the likelihood of you losing this pregnancy is very small. You need to relax and be positive, once reached 16 weeks and with cervix closed and no prior history of miscarriage, you are very unlikely to miscarry. Please continue the progestin till 24 weeks and relax. Also continue the Folic acid and other vitamins you may be taking. Anxiety and stress will only make matters worse, continue the progestin. Hope this helps. Regards.

Hello ruby;welcome to Chat Doctor The most important requirements to get pregnancy are:--regular periods-proper ovulation and rupture of follicle to release egg-patent Fallopian tubes-normal semen analysis of your husband. Since you have endometriosis cyst and PRO(poly cystic ovaries) you need to be treated for that first;then the doctor will help you with medicines and treatment for further management. Thanks

Hi, welcome to this forum. Can understand your concerns. Stomach pain and increased bowel movements in a 13-year-old child can be most probably due to stomach infection, or acute gastritis. If there are watery loose stools, persistent vomiting, or decrease urinary output then you should be immediate to take the child to a doctor for examination. I hope this will help you point wishing your child good health. Take care.

Last week however I just got out of the showever and the pain was there after not drinking alcohol for a week. Trying to cut alcohol down and only drink at I am 47, am overweight woman .
Hi welcome to Chat Doctor. I understand your concern. The pain in your case is strongly related to the intake of alcohol. There can be associated peptic ulcer or chronic pancreatitis responsible for your pain. I strongly recommend you to have an upper gastrointestinal endoscopy to detect this pathology. Specific management depends on the endoscopy results. Chat Doctor. Weight reduction and cessation of alcohol intake will help to improve your symptoms. Surgical management involves total pancreatectomy. Discuss this with your doctor. Post your further queries, if any. Thank you.

Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. Your father has mass on his liver. It can be lived cancer or benign tumor or some cyst. He should go for ultrasound liver and if needed go for USG guided biopsy or FNAC from that mass. It will give you exact diagnosis, and he should take treatment accordingly. Hope I have answered your question. If you have any doubts then feel free to ask me. I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Wish you a very good health.

For the last eight years I have experienced constant pain in both right and left thumb joints. I can trace the beginning of this to a day in February in 2012 when I woke up with a crick in my neck sending sharp pain down both arms. That resolved in a few weeks but the pain in my elbow joints and thumb joins remained. The elbow pain has subsided for the most part but the thumb joints ache and make it painful to put certain types of pressure on them such as shuffling cards and untying knots.
Hello, I think the origin of your complaints is the neck, maybe herniated cervical disc or discography. Even though you do not have any pain in the neck the nerves of the arm and thumbs have origin in the neck. I suggest you to do a neck MRI and rule out or confirm this diagnosis. Also, EMG (electromyography) helps to see if the nerves are compressed or not. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
