If there is any suspected ear infection then consult to ENT doctor in your location.Hope my answer will be effective for you.Thanks

Q. Is Mometasone dangerous to use on Face to clear my acne pimples?
Hello doctor, I am seriously facing acne pimples problem. Sometimes they occur on my face when I masturbate. If I use Mometasone, it gives a good result. Is it okay to continue this?
Hello. Acne is a universal issue in the age group of 15 to 25 years due to hormonal changes in adolescents. However, there are multiple effective treatment options depending on the grade and severity of the problem. Mometasone is a topical steroid and is to be avoided strictly on the face and for acne as it can harm your skin in the long run. Acne is dependent on hormones hence excess masturbation may sometimes lead to an increase in the problem. I would advise you to stop Mometasone immediately and kindly upload appropriate images to help us assess your current grade of acne and treat you better. Regards. For more information consult a dermatologist online -->

After 6 to 8 weeks,you should definitely stop for your bleed to occur.Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Q. What can be done for loose motion in a 15 days old baby?
Hello doctor, My child is 15 days old and is a premature baby boy. The current weight is 2.010 kg. Recently, he is passing the motion in a semi-solid form after every mother feed. And also passing urine 8 to 10 times a day. Previously, he was passing motion 4 to 5 times a day. It seems that he has loose motion. As a home remedy, we have given him Nutmeg in mother milk. Please suggest what we have to do and is there any medication for it.
Hi. I can understand your concern. Your baby is absolutely normal. Baby's gut is in a transition phase of maturation, where motions from 0 to 8 times a day are normal. Continue breastfeeding, giving other than breastfeeding can be disastrous. Any home remedy is not recommended for six months. Mother's milk is sufficient for the baby, and he does not need anything other than that for six months.

Avoid stress and tension. 2. Avoid hot and spicy food. Avoid junk food. 3. Avoid large meals, instead take frequent small meals. 4. Go for walk after meals. 5.

Could the spot on the liver in a 53 year old lead to cancer?
I had a ultrasound on my abdomen and they found a spot on my liver 18mmx11mmx14mm. I am 53 yrs old and am scheduled for a contrast and non contrast MRI. Is the only answer going to be cancer? I had a sister pass away at 32 with ovarian cancer and a brother pass away at 53 with colon cancer.
Spots (shadow) in liver on ultrasound can be benign or malignant. Since you have a strong family history of cancer you are at a high risk. The right way of investigating the shadow seen on ultrasound is with an MRI scan with and without contrast. Further workup will be guided by the MRI scan report.I hope it helps.

Q. I need an advice, I am thinking of doing medicine in Bulgaria. I have a weak memory
Hi doctor, I need advice. I am thinking of studying medicine in Bulgaria. I failed twice in my first-year pharmacy degree UK. I think I have a weak memory. Please help me.
Hi. First of all, I like to extend my best wishes for medicine in Bulgaria, as this is the only profession in the world which pays you both respect and money albeit it requires very hard work. As you have mentioned in your narration that you failed twice in your pharmacy exams, I like to tell you that memory is not the only reason for failing in anything, say academics, sports, business and so on. Other than memory, it could be your disinterest, change of plan, your engagement in other activities, substance abuse, not keeping good health, etc. With such a brief description, it is very hard to tell you about your memory, but I assume that if you secured pharmacy, that indicates you are not the weak memory kind of guy. I suggest to have an assessment of your caliber and plan accordingly.

How to cure tight and cracked foreskin which is causing pain while retracting?
I have a very tight and and dry/cracked forskin and this is causing me some pain when retracting my forskin. Its has cracked to the point of bleedin. I have tryed many thing auch as timodie, dakacort, caniston. And vassiline, non have worked atall and at times made thia problem much worse
Hi,Presence of a tight foreskin which is difficult to retract is called phimosis. Although steroid creams help in mild cases, in others, it needs to be surgically removed to prevent future complications. Do not forcibly retract the foreskin as it can lead to paraphimosis, in which the glans becomes swollen and painful and the foreskin cannot be retracted back. Please consult a doctor and do not hesitate in getting it operated as the surgery is a minor one with excellent results.Best wishes.

Q. Can Yasmin birth control pill be used as an emergency contraceptive pill?
Hello doctor, My fiancee and I had unprotected sex a few days back, but I did not ejaculate inside her. Just to be on the safer side, we wanted to use the emergency contraceptive pill. But due to some restriction in the country where we live, Plan B or emergency contraceptive pills are not available. I read that Yasmin, which is used as a regular contraceptive pill can be used as an emergency contraceptive pill at a higher dosage. Can Yasmin be used as an emergency contraceptive pill? And at what dosage?
Hi. How are you doing? Yes, as you have heard, Yasmin can be used as an emergency pill. Even if you have not ejaculated into her, she stands a chance of pregnancy if the pre-seminal fluid, the clear fluid that comes out before semen, which is rich in young healthy sperms, comes in contact with her genitals. As soon as possible, earlier the better, I suggest taking four tablets of Yasmin (combination of Ethinyl Estradiol and Drospirenone) at the time, repeat four more tablets after 12 hours. This being a high dose of hormones, it will suddenly increase the inner lining of the uterus. Then as it is a single dose, the inner lining will fall off. This makes it unfavorable for the possible embryo or baby to settle into the uterus. She will get her periods within 7 to 10 days of the last pill. But do not keep repeating this frequently, it can disturb the hormonal balance and can reduce the effectiveness of the pill. Consult your specialist doctor, discuss with him or her and start taking the medicines after their consent. This is an old method, but it is an effective emergency method. Just do not delay the pills. As time passes by, the effectiveness reduces. Hope I have clarified your query, do write back. All the best. For further queries consult an obstetrician and gynaecologist online -->

Hi,Utrogestan contains female hormone progesterone which is essential for maintaining pregnancy in the early trimester. There is no evidence that progesterone either in oral or vaginal route can cause miscarriage.Hence you could be experiencing a miscarriage due to other complications of pregnancy.Hope I have answered your question.

Q. First the right ear was infected, and now the left. Please help.
Hello doctor, My daughter is 5 years old. Last month, we noticed that she had pain in her right ear and the thing continued for three to four days. On 5th, we noticed lots of wax in her right ear. It seemed to be pus. So, we took her to an ear specialist. After diagnosis, the doctor told us that her ear is infected. But he could not investigate the ear well as my daughter was scared and she did not let the doctor investigate the ear properly. Then the doctor advised the following medicines for her: Syrup Fimoxyclav 100 ml 1.5 teaspoon (1+1+1) for seven days. Syrup Telfast 1 teaspoon (1+0+1) for seven days. Candibiotic ear drops three to four drops in right ear three times daily for seven days. Rynex nasal drop 0.025 % two to three drops in both nose holes three times for seven days. As per the doctor's prescription, we started the medicine. But we cannot use the Rynex because my daughter did not let us use it in her nose. But her ear condition was improving and after ten days, we went to the doctor again. The doctor investigated her (this time also my doctor did not let the doctor to check properly) ear and told us that she is now fine. After several days, my daughter again told us that she is feeling pain in her ear. But this time, not in the right ear but in the left ear. We took her to her regular pediatric doctor. Actually, she went to visit her grandma on summer vacation and that is why we took her to this doctor. Doctor investigated her and he could check her both ears well. My daughter knows this doctor very well, so she let him check the ear well. As per the doctor, her right ear is fully alright but left ear is infected. So, he suggested the following medicines: Syrup Renova two teaspoons two times daily, if there is any fever more than 100 F. But till now, we did not observe any. Syrup Cefim 3DS one teaspoon every 12 hours for 10 days. Syrup Brodil 1.5 teaspoon every 8 hours for 10 days. Tablet Ritch 60 for 15 days. Rynex nasal drop 0.025 %. Then, the doctor asked us to visit him again after 10 days. In this period, her ear was improving but it seems to us that her ear has not recovered properly and also we noticed that when we give nasal drop both her ears were getting wet. After 10 days, we visited the doctor again. He told us that her punctured right ear has not yet fully recovered. So, he extended the medicine Cefim 3DS for another for four days. And also asked us if again infection occur to do the following tests. Ear swab C/S. Urine R/M/E. However, after that, we did not see any visible infection yet, but her both ear seem wet to us. So, we did his recommended tests. Please find the test report from the attachment. Her test report shows that her ear is infected by Staphylococcus aureus. And I came to know that this bacteria is very much dangerous as this has resistivity for most of the antibiotics. So, I am very scared of now. Could you please let us know her real status?
Hello. Ear infections in children are very common. Children have a straight and wide eustachian tube that helps throat microbes to reach the ear easily and cause infection. So whenever she has a chest infection or throat pain or cold or flu, there are chances that her ears will also get infected. Once the ears get infected, then subsequently more chances that throat and nose infections will go up to the ear. Once ear gets infected, it is very painful and pus is produced inside. The pus breaks open the eardrum and come outside. Thereafter with medicines and the body's immunity, the ear condition resolves. But the hole in the eardrum does not close very soon. It takes a few weeks. During this time, water should not go into the ear while bathing or swimming, etc. You should take care that your daughter does not insert any cotton or match stick or anything inside the ear. Talking about the medicines given by ENT doctor and the pediatrician, both are almost the same. They both have given a different set of antibiotics and the pediatrician has added Salbutamol, which is mostly because your daughter might have been having chest problem or wheezing while going to him. Talking about staphylococcus, it is a dangerous organism when it becomes resistant to common antibiotics. Many times, it is a commensal in our body, commensal meaning routine organism. In the C/S report that you have attached (attachment removed to protect patient identity), the organism is sensitive to Ciprofloxacin. I suggest you instill two drops of Ciplox (Ciprofloxacin) in either ear thrice daily for a week and continue the medicines that the doctor has asked you to. Continue Antihistaminic medicine (Telfast) for two weeks. Go back to your ENT after that time and ask him to put an otoscope and check both ears. Tell your daughter to be bold and friendly and bribe her with chocolates so that the doctor is able to look into the ear and tell you clearly what it is. If possible ask the doctor to show the findings using an oto-endoscope which can be connected to the TV screen and shown to all including your daughter. Till then the precautions you take are: 1. No water inside the ear. 2. Can apply the drops I suggested. 3. Do not continue nasal drops (ENT drops or pediatrician drops) for more than four days in continuity (it can cause other nasal problems) 4. If she develops throat or nose problem, immediately show her to ENT and take adequate treatment. 5. Avoid cold foods and juices, give homemade juices and home cooked food. 6. Avoid excessive sun, dust, and dehydration. Talking about the reasons for frequent nose and throat infections, she could be having tonsillar enlargement and frequent inflammations.

Q. First the right ear was infected, and now the left. Please help. and for more details, Hello doctor, My daughter is 5 years old. Last month, we noticed that she had pain in her right ear and the thing continued for three to four days. On 5th, we noticed lots of wax in her right ear. It seemed to be pus. So, we took her to an ear specialist. After diagnosis, the doctor told us that her ear is infected. But he could not investigate the ear well as my daughter was scared and she did not let the doctor investigate the ear properly. Then the doctor advised the following medicines for her: Syrup Fimoxyclav 100 ml 1.5 teaspoon (1+1+1) for seven days. Syrup Telfast 1 teaspoon (1+0+1) for seven days. Candibiotic ear drops three to four drops in right ear three times daily for seven days. Rynex nasal drop 0.025 % two to three drops in both nose holes three times for seven days. As per the doctor's prescription, we started the medicine. But we cannot use the Rynex because my daughter did not let us use it in her nose. But her ear condition was improving and after ten days, we went to the doctor again. The doctor investigated her (this time also my doctor did not let the doctor to check properly) ear and told us that she is now fine. After several days, my daughter again told us that she is feeling pain in her ear. But this time, not in the right ear but in the left ear. We took her to her regular pediatric doctor. Actually, she went to visit her grandma on summer vacation and that is why we took her to this doctor. Doctor investigated her and he could check her both ears well. My daughter knows this doctor very well, so she let him check the ear well. As per the doctor, her right ear is fully alright but left ear is infected. So, he suggested the following medicines: Syrup Renova two teaspoons two times daily, if there is any fever more than 100 F. But till now, we did not observe any. Syrup Cefim 3DS one teaspoon every 12 hours for 10 days. Syrup Brodil 1.5 teaspoon every 8 hours for 10 days. Tablet Ritch 60 for 15 days. Rynex nasal drop 0.025 %. Then, the doctor asked us to visit him again after 10 days. In this period, her ear was improving but it seems to us that her ear has not recovered properly and also we noticed that when we give nasal drop both her ears were getting wet. After 10 days, we visited the doctor again. He told us that her punctured right ear has not yet fully recovered. So, he extended the medicine Cefim 3DS for another for four days. And also asked us if again infection occur to do the following tests. Ear swab C/S. Urine R/M/E. However, after that, we did not see any visible infection yet, but her both ear seem wet to us. So, we did his recommended tests. Please find the test report from the attachment. Her test report shows that her ear is infected by Staphylococcus aureus. And I came to know that this bacteria is very much dangerous as this has resistivity for most of the antibiotics. So, I am very scared of now. Could you please let us know her real status?

Q. The sphere during eye exam has come to -2 from -3. 25. Kindly help.
Hello doctor, During my last eye exam, a couple days ago, my eye doctor stated I needed lab work drawn due to a drastic change in my eyes. The sphere was -3.25 bilateral two years back and now is -2.0 bilateral. What is the concern?
Hi. I understand that your eye power has changed quite a bit in two years. The change that we normally expect to see in you would be more on the minus side that is to say that your power must naturally progress to more on the minus side than becoming less. We see these changes occurring due to a process called nuclear sclerosis, which is part of the normal aging process of the lens inside your eye. Since the power has become lesser, this change cannot be simply ignored as due to aging and your doctor must be suspecting a cause for which he has asked for laboratory work. There are very few conditions which can cause such a change, to name a few progressive hypermetropia, retinal and choroid diseases.

What causes esophageal spasms with burning sensation in the chest?
Hi, I had a very severe esophageal spasm and ended up undergoing all sorts of heart tests to rule out heart attack and heart issues. I continue to have discomfort in my chest and some mild spasms plus some burning all inside my chest. I am seeing my gastro doctor next week. What can actually be done for this. I take omeprazole 40 mg 2x per day but it does not fix this any more. What should i expect when I see my gastroenterologist?
Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic. I can understand your situation and problem. By your history and description, possibility of GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease) and esophageal spasm is more. And for this you need to get done upper GI (gastrointestinal) scopy. So gastroenterologist will mostly do this. Along with proton pump inhibitors (omeprazole), certain lifestyle modifications and smooth muscle relaxant drugs are needed for symptomatic relief. Lifestyle modifications like 1. Avoid stress and tension. Avoid hot and spicy food. 2. Avoid large meals, instead take frequent small meals. Avoid junk food. 3. Go for walk after meals. Keep 2-3 pillows under head in the bed to prevent reflux. 4. Loose weight if you are obese. Quit smoking and alcohol if you have these habits. Don't worry, with drugs and lifestyle modifications, you're will definitely improve. Hope I have solved your query. Wish you good health. Thanks.

Hello, I would be happy to help you with your question. The cramps might very well be related to the medications used during IVF cycles or related to the enlargement of your ovaries related to the medications used to produce follicles. Your symptoms are not specific, but should be addressed with your IVF doctor. There may be an indication for an ultrasound to look at your ovaries. Also, you should be checked for a bladder infection. I hope that this helps. Good luck!

What causes bleeding around the anus?
I am a 60 year old male. For the past few weeks I have had bleeding skin around my anus. I thought it was bleeding hemorrhoids, but it continued to get worse. I had my wife looked at it and she said a large area of skin around my anus and far up my crack is very red. There are no bumps. It does itch, but hurts if I scratch it. It rubs and hurts as I move around. I have been using a warm sitz bath for a few days but it is not helping.
it could be anal fissure or tear, due to constipation and forcefull defecation , kindly try sitz bath . it is done by siting in a tub full with lukewarm water and add KMNO4 , or if KMNO4 is not available then simple lukewarm water . you can apply locally anovate cream, and start eating high fibre diet which will soften your stool .

Suggest treatment for infection in the gum
I am 29 years old, I broke my teeth through an accident 18 yrs ago and have since intermittently felt a build up of pus in my upper gum above my two front teeth. Since, I have not replaced the teeth since the accident, i am just wondering if I made a terrible mistake because the area in my outer upper gum is very tender and hurts so bad at certain times of the year. I hope sb can give me some useful advice.
Thanks for your query, i have gone through your query.The tenderness or pain over the gums and pus formation is because of the tooth infection secondary to trauma. Following trauma tooth has lost its life and become non vital resulting in periapical abscess formation.Consult a oral physician and get it evaluated.you need to get a radiograph to rule out whether it is abscess or cyst.If it is abscess then the tooth can be treated with RCT only. If it is a cyst then, along with RCT enucleation has to be done.I hope my answer will help you, take care.

Suggest treatment for gastric problem and back pain
i am Ravikumar age-29-yaers I suffering from gastric and back pain near the left side back sholder in between spainal card, left side neck pain and left side updomen pain past 1year, last 9 months back i had checked ECG by Dr.Ramana rao he told me gastric problem after that he givan a tablet RABONICK-ISO last 5months back i met the Gastroentrology doctor in manipal hospital they are suggest me ultra sound and Endoscopic after checked up doctor has givan me some tablets like NEXPRO-40 & CINTAPRO-0.25 thease tablets i had 2 monthhs but stil am suffering please Doctr can u give me suggestion
I suggest here you could have mention your ultrasound as well endoscopy report also. Then it could have been helpful to suggest the treatment also.As per your explanation I realize you have taken few tablets for your gastric problem after checking with your report from your doctor. So here I am assuming there was no severe issue in your ultrasound and ECG report.Now still if you are suffering with gastric problem means I suggest to take one anta acid tablet a day and along with this do required life style changes like keep same time for your break fast, lunch and dinner. As well have good breakfast, average lunch, and minimum dinner preferably before or by 8:00pm not after that, don't have tea and coffee more as well always have some thing along with tea and coffee. Have regularly different fruits and vegitables, maintain fibre rich diet. After your lunch always have some amount of curd. Drink at least 3-4 liter water per day. And exercise like walking or cycling daily for 20-30minutes.Follow this and see it will help for your gastric problem.Now for your neck and shoulder blade pain. Here I suggest to check with x ray and if needed with MRI. Now based on report here doctor will give you conservative option of medication and physiotherapy which will definitely help you. But if problem is sever damage at spinal level then he may suggest for surgical correction also. In both cases you also have to do certain spinal exercises which will again help to improve strength and stamina of your spine.You can also use hot pack at home for some more relaxing and pain relieving effect on soft tissues.Take care.

It is not normal parameter, the polymorphs are marginally elevated.One cannot however tell the severity of the child's illness without a physical exam conducted.It is better to interprete result in the context of individual persons.I suggest you request that blood film be examined tho look for malaria parasites.Cheers.

Recommend methods to control bp
Hi..I M 39 yr old...got to know in 2003 that i have hypertention...taking medicine regularly...presntly taking Amloz 5mg daily...but its not helpfull to controlling my high BP...most of the time its 130/90...or 140/90....i do exercises daily...sud i stopped zyming...please guide me.
Hi,Thanks for writing to HCM.The most recent guideline reccomends normal bp upto 140/90 and as your BP stays at around 130-140 and around 90 after taking medicines then it is acceptable. There is a need to monitor and just can't allow it to go beyond this.Exercise is good(moderate intensity)Reduce salt intake.Take fresh seasonal fruits.Quit all addictions, if any.Hope this helped. Do let us know.Dr. Pinak

I am not able to understand whether I am pregnant or not. In this juncture is it okay to continue Clome-50? Is this tablet having any side-effect for pregnant woman ?? Regards, Soma

Proper medication for seizure?
Hello Doc,I have a query regarding myoclonic epilepsy which was diagnosed to me at the age of 26. I am 31 now, weight 95Kg, height 183cms good built. When this was first reported, the doc advised Valparin Chrono 200mg (4 tab/day) for 3 yrs,EEG and MRI normal. I took it for 6 months and discontinued, then again after 1 yr of first occurrence I had the seizure again. This time I took it seriously and started valparin course again and continued for 3 yrs. After 3 yrs of regular medicine (Sep 2012), I had the EEG done and it came normal so doc advised me to discontinue the medicine. However the issue is the problem has resurfaced in Sep 2013. This time I am in Bangalore and here the docs advised me to take Levepsy 500 twice a day. I just had another seizure out of the blue in Dec 2013 again even after taking the medicine. Need a second opinion from you that if any other scan or something is required. This time after few days have gone by I still feel a soft pain towards the left side of my body from head to toe. May be the after effects of the seizure, I am not sure. Kidnly advise if I need to undergo any other tests or scan and if this is curable through proper medicine course? Thank you!
unfortunately this type of seizure is longlasting but fortunately its easy to control on valparin or levepsy.since you were control on valparin I recommend you to continue on it.levepsy is a very good drug for seizure control but valparin is better for this type.since you got multiple attacks after stopping the drug its better to stay on this medication for your life

What causes blood in the stool?
my 16 and half months old baby boy passes bit of blood in stool every 4 or 5 days. last routine stool test shows occult blood. Dr. prescribed syrup Flagyl - 7 days, Zinconic syrup -10 days and Nutrolin-B -5 days. today after 5 days I again isee bllod in his stool. Now Dr. says to go for Stool culture test and Sonography. i wanted to know what can be the reason. Since birth, baby had severe colic problem and stil on/off we use colicaid drops.
Hi.... by what you say I feel that it could be a acute bacillary dysentery or the other possibility is a intussusception. But I feel that acute bacillary dysentery is more probable as the child is not having any severe pain in the abdomen or green and bilious vomiting.Regards - Dr. Sumanth

Having upper body shakes. Taking pms clonazepam. What could be causing this?
I am having upper body shakes and was prescribed pms clonazepam and the shakes have stopped. just wondering what causes body shakes? the doc on call at the hospital did not know and called a neurlogist and she said try these pills? and maybe its dystonia ..............I had been under some stress and a week before the shakes was dizzy and walking to the right or should i say staggering......they first thought it was innner ear infection , my blood work was fine, ekg fine and ct scan fine...........
Hello. Thanks for writing to us. The shakes which have subsided on taking clonazepam are likely to be due to anxiety. Remaining tension free and doing some relaxation exercises like deep breathing and yoga will be helpful in prevention of recurrences. I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you. Regards, Dr. Praveen Tayal [email protected]

Itchy and burning joint pain. Has 7% kidney function. Could it be due to creatinine levels?
Hi there, My mother is at 7% kidney function. she has not stated dialysis yet ( fistula is in place for four years). Question: She has developed severe join pain, she describes it as itchy, burning, pain and loses sleep from it. She insists it is Arthritis . I am monitoring her and I believe it is more than arthritis. Can this be from the creatinine levels?
of course it is due to the kidney failure.it is good that she already had a fistula made for dialysis.you should start her on regular 3/wk dialysis immediately and the itching will start improving after 4-5 dialysis.bone pains will also improve.you and she should understand that by delaying dialysis she will develop many permanent complications of kidney failure which will be difficult to correct even with dialysis later.

Suggest remedy for muscle cramps in hands
Dear Dr. My thumb will not open up again after I close it down tightly.I did extra labor today that is beyond normal. I have cramping when the thumb is locked down and it will only open when pried open with the other hand. What should I do or just rest, wait and see? Thanks
Hi,Thanks for your query.Your description suggests that you are getting cramps in the hands muscles.Cramps are painful spasms in a muscle and are often caused by overuse, dehydration, or nutritional deficiencies.Following measure will help-*Drink fluid-An electrolyte imbalance can be the cause of muscle spasms, so rehydrating with an electrolyte drink can help restore balance.*Stretch the affected muscle with a mild, static stretch.*Use ice to numb the pain in a cramp, reducing inflammation and allowing the muscle to relax.*Bring the affected muscle into a relaxed position and apply direct compression to the cramp.I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query.Take care

What are the chances of getting pregnant without penetration?
Hi. My girlfriend and I were together last night and she gave me a handjob in my pants. I sort of checked my pants to see if I'd came in them and I had. We snuggled for about 3 min. and then I fingered her. I'm not sure if I had contracted any semen from feeling my underwear for a second or not. Is there any chance of pregnancy, and if so how great? And how long does sperm last once the semen has dried?
Hello dear,I understand your concern.In my opinion there is no chance of pregnancy with the actions described by you.So relax.Do not worry.The sperm will not be alive in dried semen.The chances of pregnancy are there when semen comes in contact with inside or around the vagina during the fertile period.Just mere touching the hand with little amount of semen might not result in pregnancy.So relax.When the semen is ejaculated the lifespan of sperm is 24-48 hours.Best regards...

Suggest treatment for mononucleosis
Hi. My roommate was diagnosed with mono three weeks ago. She has has fever, fatigue, night sweats, nausea, vomiting and now orange urine for the past few days. Will this self resolve or do you think she needs IV fluids? I dont think the doctor checked her blood, I think it was that fast test.
Hello,Welcome to HCM,Infectious mononucleosis is also called as "kissing disease" and glandular fever which is caused by the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV).Infectious mononucleosis is a contagious illness and the infection can be spread by saliva and the incubation period is four to eight weeks.This can be diagnosed by blood tests. People who have this disease continue to shed virus particles in their saliva throughout their lifetime.This can be best treated with antibiotics like penicillin or erythromycin and NSAIDS can be given for fever, headache and body ache.Thank you.

What could cause breathing difficulty?
I'm having a hard time breathing and I can't catch my breath and I went to the doctors to check my pulse and blood pressure and everything was fine.. But i still think there is something wrong with me, why does my ear hurt when I spit mucus out?! And why I can't breath?!
Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic. I can understand your concern. By your history and description, possibility of bronchitis is more in your case. So better to consult pulmonologist and get done 1. Clinical examination of respiratory system 2. Chest x ray 3. PFT (Pulmonary Function Test). Chest x ray is needed to rule out other lung related causes. PFT is must for the diagnosis of bronchitis. It will also tell you about severity of the disease. And treatment of bronchitis is based on severity only. You may need inhaled bronchodilators and inhaled corticosteroid (ICS). Don't worry, you will be alright. Better to first diagnose yourself and then start app treatment. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.

Hello, First of all you should know about yor skin type.The best way to prevent hyperpigmentation is to limit skin exposure to the sun. If you go out in the sun, take these preventive measures:1)Wear a hat with a brim to shade and protect your face.2)Apply sun block (such as zinc oxide or titanium dioxide) to vulnerable areas.3)Use sunscreen that protects against both ultraviolet A and ultraviolet B radiation. The sunscreen should have a sun protection factor (SPF) of at least 30. Kind regards

Q. Can I get fitted with pessary on the day of confirmation of vaginal prolapse?
Hello doctor, If I have vaginal prolapse, will I be fitted with a pessary the day of discovery or will I be told to return another day? I am not really sure if you have a uterine prolapse but I seem to have several similar symptoms which includes, the feeling that you are sitting on a ball, increased discharge, constipation (what I believe to be the leading cause, since I have had chronic constipation as a child), a pulling or heavy feeling in the pelvis, the sense of something coming out of my vagina (when I checked with a mirror it looked like something was right at the entrance of my vagina). I have already made an appointment to consult my gynecologist. However, I just wanted to know how long it would take to treat this problem.
Hello. Yes, they may treat prolapse with pessary on the same day. As this is not a lengthy procedure, pessary insertion takes a few minutes to be done. But delays can be expected just in case a right size and shaped (according to your vagina size) pessary is not available right at the time of your presentation to the clinic. I hope it has helped you. If you require any further queries, please do not hesitate to contact me.

What are the signs and symptoms of ischemic heart disease?
I had an aortic valve replacement in 2012 as I had a bad valve. I also had high blood pressure , aortic stenosis and aortic regurgitation. Is this associated with ischemic heart disease even though I did n t have clogged arteries at the time of the valve replacement?
Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic. I can understand your concern. No, these are not suggestive of ischemic heart diseases. Your all these findings are due to valvular heart disease. You are having diseased aortic valve. You got valvular replacement in 2012. Aortic stenosis, regurgitation, high blood pressure etc suggest that your aortic valve have failed once again. And for this, you may need revision surgery of aortic valve. So better to consult cardiothoracic surgeon and get done 2d echo report to confirm the damage. Also discuss about need of surgery. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.

Should a lung biopsy be done while suffering from shortness of breath?
Yes Please My dad is having a lung biopsy today. He has been in the hospital for 33 days and no changes. S.O.B, coughing up blood. Lungs are only working 38%. On Cpap at night and High Flow NC during the day. O2 stats go down to 84/81% when he sits up. They want to do a lung biopsy today. I know they will have to vent him. Is there a chance he will come off the vent? He has COPD, Lung Fiborosis and stage 5 kidney failure. I know it is in Gods hands and his, Plus the Doctors, but I am worried, should this be done? I know it will help give some answers. But scared at the same time. I have faith in the doctors.
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice. Looking at the Reports mentioned ,it looks like severe breathing difficulty . COPD and Lung fibrosis are not correctable problems . these can be kept in check with medications . Lung biopsy will guide us to the possible diagnosis and the reason for his deterioration . It looks like a long journey of recovery ahead of him. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Suffering from PCOS and taking meprate, why am I having headaches and nausea?

Hi, Cannot say in your particular case, but generally, fluid retention or hormonal changes would be causing headaches associated with changes in hormone levels. Diuretics, like green tea, often helps. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Regards, Dr. Matt Wachsman, Addiction Medicine Specialist

On Lipitor, Levothyroxine, Vyanase for multiple sclerosis. Advised to go off Cymbalta. Can I still continue ?
My neurologist says that Cymbalta is not a good drug to take because there are too many drug interactions associated with it. I take Lipitor, levothyroxine, birth control and vyvanse to treat my symptoms associated with multiple sclerosis. Should I be worried about the meds I am taking currently? He took me of of Cymbalta and the transition off was MISERABLE and I haven't felt the same since. I would love to take Cymbalta again instead of the Viibryd I now take. I feel dopey and I believe the norepinephrine really made my life so much better. I have a 7 year old son who needs a Mom with some get up and go. I will be turning 50 this next month and quality of life is should be as great as possible. I have a great attitude but when a person lives with MS and a spunky 7 year old boy, I need all of the help I can get. THANK YOU, AAAAA
Hi,Thank you for posting your query.I agree with your neurologist that cymbalta can be associate with a lot of drug interactions. However, I also agree with you that if not taking cymbalta makes your life miserable, then, we must restart it. If you had taken cymbalta without any adverse effects, then, there is no reason why you can not go back to it. If needed, you can start at a lower dose and build up the dose gradually. Please discuss this with your neurologist.Best wishes,Dr Sudhir Kumar MD DM (Neurology)Senior Consultant Neurologist

Only then we will be able to guide you.whatever the problem is I can assure you that his beahviour will get better with proper managment.hope the reply is helpful.good luck.Dr. Manisha GopalMD Neuropsychiatry

Suggest adverse effects of masturbating
What are the negative effects of masturbating too much (seven or more times a week) for males? I heard it could lead to sunken eyes and protruding cheek bones, hair loss, and nervousness associated with anxiety (which I suffer from). Is any of that true?
HelloThanks for your query,based on the facts that you have posted it appears that you have been indulged in frequent masturbation since many years and worried about the side effects of masturbation.First of all there is myth in a mind of common man that excessive masturbation is the reason of all sexual problems But I would like to state that it has been discussed in scientific forums all over the world and proved scientifically that masturbation does not have any negative effect on any organ or system in the body.All the problems that you are facing now are mind related and due to anxiety.Dr.Patil.

What does this MRI report post back injury indicate?
Hi..I had an mri for a back injury..it said i have at L5~~~S1,mild broad based posterior disk protrusion abuts the ventral surface of thecal sac without canal stenosis..with left tangential L5nerve root abutment..what does this mean???..im 46 5ft 4 and 9st 6lbs..
I read your query and I understand your concern.That report suggest a disc disease, which for the moment looks not to cause any narrowing of the spinal canal and while close to the L5 nerve root causes no compression. So for the moment no surgery is indicated and should be continued with conservative management meaning physiotherapy and painkillers. Of course the severity of your symptoms should also be taken into consideration, but generally speaking from the report your current pain should improve gradually.Of course since there is some degree of disc protrusion, mild for now, if that progresses in the future might change aggravate the symptoms and change management. Physical therapy is the best way to lower the risk for that.I hope things work out for the best.

Numbness in hand, palpitations. No pain. Should I be concerned?
In the past week, I ve experienced a very strange sudden absent feeling in my right hand involving 3 fingers; lasting a few seconds, then some palputations. The fingers almost seem to slightly cris-cross with no feeling at all. No pain, and no control. I ve always had a fear of stroke as I am a caretaker so I don t want to be a burden on anyone. Should I be concerned or could it be to stress . I m under a lot!!!!
DearWelcome to HCMWe understand your concernsI went through your problem description. I suggest you not to worry too much.The finger crisscrossing and numbness you felt might be due to muscular twiching normally happens during winter, using cold water, awkward use of fingers etc. You are doing a good job as a caretaker and god should help you. Though you should not worry about any diseases, because nobody knows what the god has in store for you. Please do not be concerned for unnecessary anxiety causes mental problems. Don't be stressed.Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications.Good luck.

What causes tooth abscess after a root canal treatment?
Hi I have an abcess tooth and it is from a root canal that wasn't properly all taken out. I went to the dentist the day after my tooth started having horrible pains. The day I went is the day my face swelled up and it's been swelled up for about 3 days and I have been taking amoxicillin for the 3 days. I went to the dentist and he opened my gums a little bit and also did a root canal on my tooth. He didn't finish because he isn't a specialist but I'm going to one Monday. Will the swelling go down and will I be okay? I'm so nervous about it spreading.
Hi Dear,Welcome to HCM.Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of tooth abscess after a root canal treatment as sometimes infection remains even after root canal of teeth and build up pressure and move into facial spaces leading to facial space infection. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to maintain proper oral hygiene and avoid intake of sharp and cold food substances. You should consult dentist for proper examination. Doctor may order X-ray for proper evaluation. Doctor may consider root canal again or extraction of tooth depending upon the condition of the tooth. Doctor will also prescribe antibiotics ( penicillin or metronidazole ) at least for 10 days .Hope your concern has been resolved.Get Well Soon.Best Wishes,Dr. Harry Maheshwari

Suggest treatment for chest pain and weight gain
I am having some chest pain which i never experienced before. I am now at the highest weight i have ever been in my life. Almost 200. I also am very inactive. I have asthma. I started drinking seltzer last night. I dont know what this could be, the pain i mean... because I have asthma for all my life... but am super inactive now and at my highest weight. THis has never happened. IDK what it could be if i should consider it something serious. But I want to check and not be stupid and end up in bad condition without paying attention to symptoms if this could potentially be bad. thank you for your help. i would appreciate some insight.
Thanks for your question on HCM.I can understand your situation and problem.In obese patient, for chest pain, we need to first rule out cardiac cause (coronary artery blockage).So get done ECG and 2D Echo to rule out cardiac cause.If both are normal than no need to worry much for cardiac cause.Your symptoms can be due to worsening of underlying asthma. So get done PFT (pulmonary function test) to rule out this and start treatment accordingly.I also advice you to get done lipid profile and if you have high cholesterol and triglycerides than start lipid lowering drugs with strict action for weight reduction is needed.

What causes Schizoaffective disorder?
I was recently diagnosed with Schizoaffective disorder. I am currently being treated with Seroquel and Lithium. My question is will this affect my thinking? I'm currently taking a math course that's difficult but utilizes aspects of mathematics that I once excelled at. I'm floundering with the problems, it's like I can't make the connections or...I know what's expected but I just can't do it. Is the course too difficult or is it possible that I need to relearn some material before retrying?
Hello thanks for asking from HCM for your health related queriesI can understand your concern. Schizoaffective disorder is a psychotic disorder in which symptoms of both Schizophrenia and affective disorders are found in patients. Most of individuals suffering from Schizoaffective disorder function normally and respond to medicines if taken proper under prescription. Seroquel is Quetiapine and the drug is second generation antipsychotic. The drug can cause sedation, drowsiness, sleepiness, weight gain etc as side effect. Over all this doesn't interferes with thinking process. Lithium is a mood stabiliser drug. The drug is also not known to impair intelligence or thinking process. As per my opinion there is no need to worry. Continue to take your medicines as per your prescription and these medicines will help you in better functioning only.Thanks, I hope this helps you. Take care

Hi and welcome to Healthcaremagic. Thank you for your query. I am Dr. Rommstein, I understand your concerns and I will try to help you as much as I can.Well and there are two main types of fatty liver disease so treatment depends on this: Alcoholic liver disease and Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease. You can get alcoholic liver disease from drinking lots of alcohol. It can even show up after a short period of heavy drinking, other causes are obesity and hepatitis B and C.If you have alcoholic liver disease and you are a heavy drinker, quitting is the most important thing you can do. Talk to your doctor about how to get help. If you don't stop you could get complications like alcoholic hepatitis or cirrhosis. Even if you have nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, it can help to avoid drinking. If you are overweight or obese, do what you can to gradually lose weight -- no more than 1 or 2 pounds a week.Eat a balanced and healthy diet and get regular exercise. Limit high-carb foods such as bread, grits, rice, potatoes, and corn. And cut down on drinks with lots of sugar like sports drinks and juice.I hope I have answered you query. If you have any further questions you can contact us in every time.Kindly regards. Wish you a good health.

Why am I unable to take a deep breath?
I have been experiencing the sensation that I need to take a deep breath but can t. This started when I was about 11 and went away until I was about 23. It has come and gone every few years now since then. I don t believe this is anxiety related as it stared when I was at a young age. It comes and then goes about 2 weeks later. It is a very annoying sensation. It does not keep me up at night. I can sleep fine. Some days are worse than others. EVERY doctor I have been too says there is nothing wrong. I had an echo in December along with an EKG. I take metoprolol for palpitations and heart murmur but have only been taking this since 2011.
Thanks for your question on HCM.Since you had palpitation and heart murmurs and left the treatment since 2-3 years, it is better to rule out cardiac cause first.So get done1. ECG2. 2 d echo3. Stress test (trade mill test).To rule out cardiac cause.If all of the above are normal then no need to worry much for cardiac cause.Anxiety appears more in your case. So consult psychiatrist and get done counselling sessions.Try to identify stressor in your life.And start working on its solution.Avoid stress and tension.Be relax and calm.Don't worry much, you will be alright.

Q. What is the floating brown color dot with a white substance in eye?
Hello doctor, A brown color dot along with a white color substance is floating in my left eye. What to do?
Hello. I have gone through what you have mentioned, these dots are called floaters in medical terminology. I can tell you that such a problem arises due to a cause mostly in the back portion of the eye (vitreous or retina). This requires a dilated retinal examination by an ophthalmologist. A single floater which has been present for at least 6 months to a year has no major implications and is nothing to be worried about. I advise you to see the ophthalmologist urgently in case of the following: Multiple floaters or sensation of flashing lights or blurred vision in either eye. Floaters appeared after being hit in the eye, pain, redness in either eye. If you are a diabetic or on anticoagulant treatment or suffer from blood clotting or blood vessel or autoimmune diseases.

What causes pain and cramp in left side of the chest?
I'm experiencing some pain and cramping under my left breast. It feels like the rib cage, it's been on and off for 3 weeks. Went to my primary doc and got an ekg which was normal. Pain is worse if I breathe in deep, i take short breaths in and out until it goes away. If I'm experiencing the pain it also gets worse when I lay down flat. I remember experiencing these pains as a kid and throughout my life but not on a regular basis. I have not had them in many years. I bought Gas x but it did not help.
Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.I can understand your concern. By your history and description, possibility of musculoskeletal pain is more likely. No need to worry for heart diseases as your ekg is normal. So follow these steps for better symptomatic relief in musculoskeletal pain. 1. Avoid heavyweight lifting and strenuous exercise.2. Avoid movements causing pain.3. Avoid sudden jerky movements of chest.4. Take simple painkiller like paracetamol or ibuprofen.5. 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.

Unsteady, lightheaded, taking Benicar, Nexium. Benfotiamine causes muscle spasms. Any ideas?
Very suddenly, about one hour ago, I felt VERY unsteady on my feet. I almost fell down a couple times. My head felt spacey, sorta lightheaded. I wasn t confused and no headache. My speech was fine. I was busy running around straightening my kitchen and quite tired when this occurred. I don t drink or take drugs. I am a 61 y.o. female, 5 4 , 218#. I take the following drugs: benicar , nexium , metformin (1500mg), effexor, flonase , and progesterone . The progesterone was recently prescribed and I ve been taking it for 1 week. I take a variety of supplements , but nothing new--I ve taken most of them for years. I do take a very high dose of Benfotiamine for neuropathey in my toes (it s very effective). It does have the side effect of causing muscle spasims, which I understand is a frequent side effect. I just took my blood glucose reading and it was 126, expected for me. I should but don t have a blood pressure cuff, so don t know my reading. I don t think it s high. My last reading was a couple weeks ago and was 126/84. I have been sitting for a while typing this and I have just tried standing and walking and I am much improved, but still not 100% normal. Any ideas?
you just need only majoon zabeeb 6 gm twice daily and sharbat neelofar 20 ml twice for 2 months. and stop all other medication. hope you will improve 100 percent within couple of days.

How to treat lower back pain?
Hello My name is umer(First of all sorry for my bad english)Yesterday night; i came home at night 11:00 pm(very cold), then i took my dinner at night 2:30 am at my bed and right after dinner, i quickly laid in bed and started using laptop on my lap and then I slept like at 4 a.m and sleep sound for 2 to 4 hours then awaken with lower right back pain. Changing position helps, sleep returns after 15-20 minutes but the cycle repeated again. (I drive bike too fast at night and there is hardcore winter season)When I'm sitting or sleeping still I'm feel ok, but otherwise have normal lower back pain on my right side. Not sure what it is? It hurt when I walk or cough. Any suggestions?
In my opinion all you need to do is give you back a little rest. For immediate relief have some pain killer 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 . You can also apply some good anti inflammatory pain killer gel on your back. If the pain increases do some hot fermentation locally and make a routine of doing some back strengthening exercise daily . After 2 weeks start with some back strengthening exercise. It will help you build you back muscle and you will be able to continue with your practice in few weeks but do not over look at the symptoms right now. As it is still early days for you and you can be fine and back in action with these small things. Good luck

Hello Thank you for trusting HCM Many causes for bruising of the penis some of them mentioned below. 1.Entrapment in clothing- appear as a simple cause and many of times neglected. 2.Thrombosed lymphatic vessel - Lymphatic vessels can be found all over the body - they are responsible for delivering lymphatic fluid. Masturbation, sex, and the use of erectile enhancement devices such as vacuum pumps can lead to bruising of this tissue.3.Trauma to the penis- Any type of trauma, or sudden injury, to the penis may cause bruising, which is characterized by discoloration of the skin, soreness, and in some cases, inflammation.4.Fractures- Unfortunately, the penis really can be fractured; this occurs when the erectile tissue in the penis is ruptured, usually during sexual activity where the partner is on top. 5.Injection of drugs- Injecting drugs into the penis - whether for treating erectile issues or for other reasons - can result in bruising and soreness around the injection site.Vigorous Masturbation, priarpism etc... Please consult your doctor (sexologist he will guide you in right way).

Q. Will Kalarchikai cure multiple ovarian cysts in PCOD?
Hello doctor, I have multiple small cysts in both ovaries (PCOS). Our family friend suggested me to consume Kalarchikai medicine, powdered mixed with pepper and honey to have it for one mandalam (48 days). I have completed nearly 44 days by consuming one small ball of the mixture every morning and before two weeks I got my periods. Then I had checked whether the cysts were dissolved by having an abdomen scan. But still, small multiple follicules have been seen in it with both ovaries enlarged. Kindly suggest me what I can do further. I got married before one and a half years and I am much worried about my pregnancy. I have gallstones as well.
Hello. I just read your query. See Kalarachi Kai choornam is helpful in amenorrhea. As far as small cysts are concerned they are unmatured eggs which failed to induce menstrual cycle previously, as a result, they got collected in the ovary and they will remain in the ovary. Now, you have got your periods you can start trying for conception. But I advise you to do it under the supervision of a nearby gynecologist because egg size is important while conception and that you can know by ovulation study. Ovulation study is performed under the supervision of a gynecologist. For gall stones, surgical intervention is required generally. Medicine is not of much help.

What causes tingling in chest and stomach?
I have been having some tingling only on my left chest for months. Awhile ago, I was lightheaded for a couple days straight. Now I have some tingling in my stomach to go along with the chest tightness and tingling. Any ideas of what is causing these symptoms?
Hi, Without an examination and some appropriate testing, your symptoms are nonspecific at this point to give you any type of rock-solid diagnosis. Of course, there's the easy go to the diagnosis of nervousness and anxiety which you may have already heard either from friends, coworkers, or even you talking to yourself. However, there are organic reasons for the feelings of tingling and sensations of tightness. Anything from side effects of medications to low serum levels of vitamin B12, folate, B6, or Vit. D. And then, there are probably less likely things for these symptoms as thyroid hormones that are somehow either too high or too low. And then, there are the often overlooked causes of such general and nonspecific symptoms such as medication side effects or medication interactions. Again, only a good history, examination, and appropriate testing will point you in a specific direction. See your doctor and see what comes as a suggestion. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Regards, Dr. Dariush Saghafi, Neurologist

What causes dizziness followed by vomiting?
Body movement and motion make me dizzy and I start vomiting. I’m seventy years old, male, prostate cancer survivor, mild stroke, so on blood thinners. No temperature....97.5 degrees. Began this afternoon and continues unless I stay motionless in chair or bed.
Hello and welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice. You may have a condition known as BENIGN PARLOXYSMAL VERTIGO (BPV). Easy to diagnose but a neurologist or neuro-otologist and easy to treat with what are called BRANT-DAROFF Exercises. Other LESS LIKELY diagnosis would be MENIERE'S disease because you're not saying anything about tinnitus and loss of hearing which are usually felt on the same side of the head. If this is the correct diagnosis then, I shall tell you that more than "body" movements making you dizzy....it's HEAD MOVEMENTS that are likely making you dizzy. Therefore, be prepared to feel dizzy spells whenever going from a lying to standing/sitting position, going from a STANDING to a LYING position, flipping or rolling over in bed, bending down to pick up something from the floor, etc. Changes in head position should be done slowly and when you get into a new position, just close your eyes and wait for the dizziness to stop before moving or opening your eyes. Please rate this a 5 STAR ENCOUNTER and write me at: www.bit.ly/drdariushsaghafi with more comments/questions. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

This can be complications of stenting. Ideal would be to get sonography/ultrasound done to have look at all structures particularly kidney and stent.That will help understand what is causing pain.Please feel to ask your doubts in premium category.

Q. Can Yasmin birth control pill be used as an emergency contraceptive pill?
Hello doctor, My fiancee and I had unprotected sex a few days back, but I did not ejaculate inside her. Just to be on the safer side, we wanted to use the emergency contraceptive pill. But due to some restriction in the country where we live, Plan B or emergency contraceptive pills are not available. I read that Yasmin, which is used as a regular contraceptive pill can be used as an emergency contraceptive pill at a higher dosage. Can Yasmin be used as an emergency contraceptive pill? And at what dosage?
Hi. How are you doing? Yes, as you have heard, Yasmin can be used as an emergency pill. Even if you have not ejaculated into her, she stands a chance of pregnancy if the pre-seminal fluid, the clear fluid that comes out before semen, which is rich in young healthy sperms, comes in contact with her genitals. As soon as possible, earlier the better, I suggest taking four tablets of Yasmin (combination of Ethinyl Estradiol and Drospirenone) at the time, repeat four more tablets after 12 hours. This being a high dose of hormones, it will suddenly increase the inner lining of the uterus. Then as it is a single dose, the inner lining will fall off. This makes it unfavorable for the possible embryo or baby to settle into the uterus. She will get her periods within 7 to 10 days of the last pill. But do not keep repeating this frequently, it can disturb the hormonal balance and can reduce the effectiveness of the pill. Consult your specialist doctor, discuss with him or her and start taking the medicines after their consent. This is an old method, but it is an effective emergency method. Just do not delay the pills. As time passes by, the effectiveness reduces. Hope I have clarified your query, do write back. All the best. For further queries consult an obstetrician and gynaecologist online -->
