Will this go away on its own or should I see my GP?\n[|AI|] Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor! Yes, from what you have described, it appears that you are having Sinusitis. However, you need to be examined to diagnose it finally. So I'd recommend you to visit your GP and get yourself examined. In case the diagnosis is confirmed, you'll require a dose of Antibiotics to ward off the infection. Also, your GP will advise you certain precautions which need to be followed.

Since then I have a real tight neck that wants to keep dropping , neck pain , light headedness, back pain, occasional loss of balance and trouble walking and climbing steps. I recently lost my job because of these issues. My Neurologist thinks it is all coming from the neck tightness. My Neuro Surgeon disagrees and sent me to Physical Therapy and a Pain Management Doctor. They both agree with my Neurologist. The Pain Management Specialist told me that there is nothing that can be done. He told me 1 out of 10 or 1 out of every 12 with this surgery end up like me. In the past 3 months I started experiencing tremors in my right hand, right arm, shoulder, neck & head. Aggressive at times. I have tremors pretty much daily now. My Neurologist retired but wanted me to get a second opinion because I am progressing. I have not yet had a second opinion away from the same Medical Practice. I was about to when my Neuro Surgeon called and wanted me to get a Neck MRI. She referred me to another Neurosurgeon she works with to have more surgery. I saw the new Neurosurgeon. He explained he wants to take the hardware from my previous surgery out of the back of my neck and put it in the front to hold my head up. I was told it would not relieve the pain or any other symptoms I am having. I was also sent to another Neurologist in the same practice. She has no idea what is going on. Parkisons was ruled out. Both Neurosurgeons think there is something else going on and it s not coming from my neck. I can feel everything coming from my neck. I have had since May 2 neck MRI s & 4 Botox Injections, in the last 30 days an EEG, Brain MRI & CT Scan. All are normal except CT scan. It was to check healing for removing metal in my neck. I have an appointment to talk about that in a few weeks. Do you think there could actually be 2 different problems? My neck is really tight and like I said before I feel everything but my hand and arm tremors coming from my neck. I am really confused.\n[|AI|] Thanks for writing to us. You have complex story with multiple issues and not pointing to a particular one problem. Tremors can happen in severe cervical spine stenosis due to weakness in extremities. Do you have significant weakness in hands? Neck Chat Doctor. Difficult to tell you the exact answer however if neurologist ruled out other brain related disorder then you may consider doing anterior cervical surgery.

Do you know what could be wrong? Any methods of treating it faster? I need to get back on the field asap before try outs are over.\n[|AI|] Dear List, I believe you may have suffered a muscle strain, maybe even a partial tear. What the muscle and shoulder desperately needs now is absolute rest in some sort of \"sling\"! But, it seems you really want to \"hit the road\" again; which is rather unfortunate.

It is not at all life endangering condition and is due to simple fast proliferation of skin within 4-5 days. For the treatment and control of this condition Methotrexate is the main of the treatment.

She said she is experiencing pain under her ribcage on the left side shooting through to her back, her vision is blurry and she is extremely fatigued and had noticed sensitivity in her lower left leg accompanied by slight swelling. She is concerned because cancer runs in her family. Any ideas what may be causing this and what we can do while attempting to find her a doctor in this area?\n[|AI|] Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. In my opinion you should not worry much about her. As I don't think it is cancer. But better to get done some investigation s to rule out other causes. First get done ECG to rule out cardiac cause for left sided chest pain. If this is normal than get done chest x-ray to rule out pulmonary causes for chest pain. If this is also normal than no need to worry much. It is just musculoskeletal pain only. So avoid heavy weight lifting and strenuous exercise. Take good painkiller and muscle relaxant. You will be alright. No need to take stress and tension for cancer.\n"},{"Conversation":"The conversation between human and AI assistant.\n[|Human|] I had a child April 11. , 2012. 4weeks after I had a Depo shot (first time ever) and bled for 5months straight.

Thalassaemia is caused by inheriting the thalassemia genetic disorder from only one parent. People with thalassemia minor are carriers of the disease, but do not usually have health problems.

Further management of the blood pressure can also prevent further damage to the kidney. Prostatomegaly means enlarged prostate. Enlarged prostate usually occurs with being prostatic hypertrophy.

This month also you had taken the pills without any break... only thing is instead of taking the bland pills. your straight way started with active pills of new packs.... The placebo pills are meant for getting breakthrough bleeding (which we call menses). Between two packs. But by taking new pack again you have extended the hormonal effect for one more cycle. That's why you have skipped one menstruation. Please don't worry, if you continue with the new pack regularly, your contraceptive protection would continue.

We are both virgins too\n[|AI|] Hello, Thanks for sharing your health concern with us. I have gone through your query and would like to offer my opinion. In the manner of sexual encounter you have described, there is no chance of any semen entering the vagina and thus, there is no chance of any pregnancy. Semen or pre-ejaculate, if deposited on the vulval region during the fertile or ovulation phase, which is two weeks prior to the onset of the next period, can cause conception. This is when protection is needed to avoid pregnancy. Hope your query has been clarified.

Had gallbladder removed several yrs ago, checked today to see if there were stones in Common Bile Duct--none. Help please\n[|AI|] Hi. Thanks for your query and an elucidated history. It is worrisome to know that all the tests you mentioned have been normal viz- EGD, Colonoscopy, ABD US, Cardiac stress test, liver function test, and blood work has all been normal-blood work once normal has not much important if done again. The pain is persistent in a lady of 80 years in spite of the negative tests. When the increasing factors are food and standing up, the most probable causes can be ::Intestinal obstruction- this can be missed by many tests. Needs to be done by a simple X-ray in the standing position-shows gas \/ fluid levels. This is possible only if done in a standing position. CT scan can not be done in standing position- it is always done in lying down position so can miss. Another problem can be a sealed perforation- again very difficult to find on any tests. This need a classical clinical test of rebound tenderness to be elicited by the Surgeon.

I have been icing it for 8 hours and i still get intense pain when i move some directions. At wha point do i stop ice and see a doc. I have a high pain threshold, but when it flares i can t use my arm\n[|AI|] Hi, Thanks for your query. An initial X-ray of the injured part is mandatory to rule out any bony injury (fracture). If the X-ray is negative for a fracture, then the other possibility is soft tissue injury either to the ligaments, tendons etc. The initial management for your condition is as follows -- Give adequate rest to the injured part and avoid any movements that produce pain-Apply ice wrapped in a damp towel to the injured area for 15 to 20 minutes every two to three hours during the day-Compress or bandage the injured area to limit any swelling and movement that could damage it further. You can use a cr\u00eape bandage or a simple elastic bandage - Keep the injured area raised and supported on a pillow to help reduce swelling. - Gentle massage with a painkiller cream over the injured area might be helpful If your symptoms are still persisting after the above measures, consult an orthopedic surgeon for further evaluation and management. I do hope that you have found something helpful, and I will be glad to answer any further query. Take care\n"},{"Conversation":"The conversation between human and AI assistant.\n[|Human|] I went to a Kidney doctor recently, had been going to one for about 5 years, but they seem to keep changing on me. This new Dr. said he wanted to lower my B.P. more, and they day I as in to see him it was a bit high 146\/78 but no really that much out of line. He said he would like to see it 140\/70 or less. The next day it was 131\/68, and hadn t taken the prescription he recommended. However did take it a couple of days later, and my feet and ankles swelled and are still swelled, the Med was Amalodapine the dose I was on was .5 and he doubled it. I called him today, and he put me back on my regular dose, but added a new B.P. med called Spironolactone .25 mg. I have been on Lorsartin and Amalodapine for several years and it has been holding my B\/P under control pretty well. Why would he want to be changing it...my thinking is if it s not broken, don t fix it, and my regular health care physician had put me on it. This is a new, young Dr. and it was my understanding that they no longer want your B\/P to get to low, to you don t function well?? What is your opinion on this new med. He told me not to take my over the counter Potassium. Thanks, Betty\n[|AI|] Hello, Amlodipine may cause pedal edema in some individuals. So he reduced the dose. Spironolactone is a potassium sparing diuretic. It is used to reduce edema of legs. If renal function is not good means better to avoid losartan. Because it will increase serum creatinine levels. Don't worry continue as per nephrologist advice. Take care. Hope I have answered your question.

I read your query and I understand your concern. Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is a common virus that can infect almost anyone. Actually, most people don't know they have CMV because it rarely causes symptoms. However, if you are planing to get pregnant or have a weakened immune system, CMV is cause for concern. Once infected with CMV, your body retains the virus for life. You do not mention any symptom, except the test report results. However, need treatment when they're having symptoms of CMV infection, such as pneumonia. The kind of treatment depends on the symptoms and their severity.

Seen in case of either appendicitis, colonic problem, gastritis or gastric ulcer. You say you have a typical cramp when you eat.

When a person comes to my clinic with such skin nodule first I examine him\/her and then if not confirmed about a possibility, I go for FNAC\/BIOPSY TEST from the nodule! In such cases I think of few possibilities like:1. A reactive lymph node that gets enlarged with reaction to local infection2. A sebaceous cyst getting infected intermittently3.

Thank you for asking at Chat Doctor. From your history, I guess that your son has got frequent respiratory complaints, most probably due to allergy. Myteka contains montelukast, and it does not have major side effects even after using for a few months in child Chat Doctor. Rarely, a child may have nausea, vomiting, headache, etc., but they are not seen in most of the patients. I would like to inform you that infections are different from allergies.

I have been having back pain since last 5 months. I weigh 72kg and measure 170cm in height. Otherwise i have been healthy. I was wondering what might be the cause for the pain? Please suggest me methods of reducing the pain.. I sincerely thank you all..\n[|AI|] Working at a computer can cause back, neck and shoulder pains, headache, eyestrain and overuse injuries of the upper limbs. The risks can be reduced or eliminated with proper workstation design, improved posture, good working habits and REGULAR EXERCISE. Suggestions to reduce the risk of back pain:Use an adjustable desk designed for use witChatDoctorputers; position the monitor so that it is either at eye level or slightly lower. Position your keyboard at a height that allows your elbows to rest comfortably at your side. Forearms should be roughly parallel with the floor and level with your keyboard. Adjust your chair so that your feet rest flat on the floor. Use a footstool (if your feet do not rest on the floor when the chair is adjusted for good arm position). Switch to an ergonomic chair, which helps your spine to naturally hold its curve while sitting. Use an ergonomic keyboard to offer your hands and wrists a more natural holding position. Take frequent short breaks and go for a walk or perform STRETCHING EXERCISES at your desk. Stand often. Consulting a physical therapist (physiotherapist) for stretching exercises proper postural position than can surely help. Also get an X-ray of the painful region in the back to rule out any bony abnormality. Usually in computer users it should be X-ray cervical and Dorso-lumbar region with both AP & lateral views)\n"},{"Conversation":"The conversation between human and AI assistant.\n[|Human|] I have had swollen feet, legs and ankles for about 4 weeks now and it doesn t seem to ever go down.

Thanks\n[|AI|] Hello, As you mentioned the lasix being prescribed to you, are you diabetic or having any cardiac pathology like high blood pressure. Usually swelling in the lower limbs - leg, ankle and feet occur due to lack of venous return. Having an understanding of the cardiac pathology and any venous return issues in the lower limbs should let us help understand the cause for it. Also, doing regular exercise in low intensity helps improve the muscle physiology and also the cardiac output where these symptoms can be avoided. Hope I have answered your query.

I can understand your concern. You are having blunt chest trauma due to kick on the ribs. This type of chest injury can cause rib fractures, pneumothorax, pulmonary contusions and musculoskeletal injury. All these cause chest pain on breathing, coughing, with movements etc. So get done chest x-ray to rule out these causes. If chest x-ray is normal then no need to worry about major complications. Simple musculoskeletal pain is likely in your case. So avoid movements causing pain. Avoid heavyweight lifting and strenuous exercise. Avoid bad postures in sleep. Take painkiller and muscle relaxant Chat Doctor. Apply warm water pad on affected areas. Don't worry, you will be alright. But get done chest x-ray to rule out internal damage.

Disc herniation is uncommon in thoracic regions, however, it can occur, and your symptoms could well be related to that. Surgery is often reserved for severe disc herniation and is not done for disc bulges. As of now, you can continue the same medications, and physiotherapy.

Is this an infection or what\n[|AI|] Hi. Thanks for the query. As there was stinky white stuff from a hole in the gum in the very back region of mouth, then it is most probably due to the hole from which wisdom tooth is about to erupt. Many a time if the wisdom tooth is impacted the hole or opening is formed in the gum, but the tooth does not erupt and there is food lodgment in that area. So my suggestion is to consult a Dentist if there is any problem and get an x-ray of the area done. If the wisdom tooth is impacted and if there is any problem repeatedly like infection and bad smell you can get the tooth extracted.

THANK YOU DOCTOR\n[|AI|] Hi, Asthma is itself an allergic disease due to cold (or dust or pollen or grass etc.) irrespective of the triggering factor. Your asthma actually triggers bronchospasm which leads to your wheezing and breathing difficulty. You can go for pulmonary function tests if not done. Treatment is mainly symptomatic which might require inhalation steroids, beta agonists, anticholinergics as MDI or rota haler as a regular treatment. There are very good medicines like steroids, alpha a Chat Doctor. To decrease the inflammation of bronchi and bronchioles, you might be given oral antihistamines with mast cell stabilizers(montelukast) and steroids (prednisolone) with nebulization and frequently steam inhalation.

I can understand your concern. I also feel that you are having acute exacerbation of asthma. Normal chest x-ray rules out pneumonia or lung cancer or other lung diseases. Chronic cough, congestion, phlegm, wheezing, shortness of breath etc. in asthmatic patient is suggestive of acute worsening of asthma more. So get done PFT (pulmonary function test). PFT will tell you about severity of asthma and treatment is based on severity only. You may need long acting inhaled bronchodilator (formoterol or albuterol) and inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) (budesonide or fluticasone). Oral combination of antihistamine (levocetrizine or fexofenadine) and anti-allergic (montelukast) is also beneficial in your case. Don't worry, you will be alright with all these.

Application of minoxidil and oral biotin once a day can really be helpful to you. Minoxidil is slow method, it takes time to show results, and you have to be compliant with its use, leaving it abruptly can again result in hair loss. So be patient and keep using it.

As a Urologist, I can fully understand your concern. A small flap over shaft penis, at 58 years age, shouldnt cause any worry. If you're able to have sex or masturbate normally, it shouldn't be bothersome. If it was in an exposed area, then there's a cosmetic problem. Flaps over shaft penis, can be easily corrected with minor surgery. This need be done in your case, only if you're worried about the cosmetic purpose.

As you are on dialysis for the last 7 years your blood chemistry is not normal. Various harmful mobiles that are secreted by the body are regularly washed by kidneys and in your case the dialysis. Bruising can be due to multiple causes most likely due to blood thinners. I will advise you take a coagulation test like pt PTT and liver function tests. That will really tell the reason for your bruising. Hopefully that will turn out to be normal and you don't have to worry about that if it doesn't happen frequently.

It is unfortunate that you are suffering from skin disease lichen plans from past 10 years. HomeopatChatDoctoredicine may not be that useful to treat this condition. Even in allopatry, you can only control the disease, but you cannot cure the illness. You can do the following things to keep your disease under check and control:1. Antihistamines that help alleviate itching.2. Topical corticosteroid cream or ointment to reduce swelling and redness.3. Systemic Corticosteroid such as prednisone helps when lichen plans lasts a long time.4. PVA therapy is a light treatment that can help clear the skin.5. Retinoid acid applied to the skin or given as a pill to clear the skin.6. Tacrolimus ointment or pimecrolimus cream is used to treat eczema.

And was told to have intercourse on 19th and 20th day. today is my 19th day.I had intercourse yesterday. Will i have my egg still active should i have intercourse today?\n[|AI|] Hallow dear, I have understood your concern. Usually the follicle is mature to release healthy egg at 18 mm size. In. Chat Doctor was given to you when the follicle was 18 mm size. So it was well the timed. The egg is released usually within 24 hours of Chat Doctor injection. Hence, immediately on the next day, very rightly GUI was performed. Now daily intercourse for two days after that is advised for additional coverage, in case the egg is released late. After the ovulation life of an egg is 24 hours. So any intercourse after that may not be of use from fertility angle. Continuation of ultrasonography for confirmation of ovulation might have been useful to decide how long daily or alternate days' intercourse is to be continued.

I have no clue what this could be\n[|AI|] Hello. Thank you for asking on Chat Doctor. I read your query and understand your concern. Now, the description of the heartburn you provided, is with the highest probability from the stomach, as the origin. This symptom is called paresis, and is produced when the highly acid content of the stomach is returned to esophagus or, sometimes, throat and mouth. This can happen from various reasons, mostly from a disbalance between acid-producing and acid-inhibiting factors in the stomach and from the lower esophageal sphincter insufficiency. Without digging further more into theoretical details, I would suggest you to refrain from certain food and beverages that favor acid production and\/or inhibit acid-inhibiting factors and\/or lower the pressure of the lower esophageal sphincter:- alcohol and tobacco-chocolate- tea, coffee (Anthony derivatives)- spicy and grilled food, and pickles would also recommend you to start a course with a proton pump inhibitor (PPI): omeprazole 20 mg x 2 tb\/d for the first two weeks, then 20 mg x 1 tb\/d for four other weeks, and accompanied by risperidone x 3 tb\/d. Also, you should not lie down, but sit up or stand, for at least 90 minutes after you have had your last meal.

Ganglion cyst is connected with a joint (shoulder in this case) and filled with joint fluid. Pain is characteristic for this lesion especially when moving the limb. I suggest you to consult general surgeon with these issues. Soft tissues' ultrasound should be done to diagnose it. Cyst or ganglion can be removed. If it's a lymph node, biopsy should be done. I do hope that you have found something helpful, and I will be glad to answer any further query.

The mean dimensions of the kidneys upon maturation are: length-about 12\u00a0cm, breadth-about 6\u00a0cm and thickness-about 3\u00a0cm. The weight of one kidney averages about 120-150 g. Any decrease in size is abnormal. Prominence of the pelvocalyceal system means that maybe because of distal blocking (probably due to a stone)there is collection in the pelvocalyceal system and hence the CT scan of the kidney, ureters and bladder is suggested. This is a more precise form of investigation. The urine forms in the kidneys and flows into the bladder through the ureters. Any blockage in the ureters will cause accumulation of urine in the kidneys. Hope this helps you.\n"},{"Conversation":"The conversation between human and AI assistant.\n[|Human|] hi, i am 28 yrs and trying to conceive since 2 years. i have premature ovulation problem.

Pl help\n[|AI|] Hi Jimmy, I hope that your Doctor has ruled out male infertility. Whileyou are taking these Medicines, you must be doing test for ovulation to see the effects of these Medicines on your Ovulation. There are certain ways to confirm ovulation like trans-vaginal Follicular study, Home Ovulation test, and hormonal levels in your blood, besides some simple method like BBT, Cervical Mucus test. If you are ovulating with these medicines, and still not able to become pregnant in 3-4 months time, then you should go for further tests for tubal patency test, uterine factors, immunological factors, and so on. For infertility, you must go step wise approach and proper follow up. You should be knowledgeable about the management you are going through, and talk to the Doctor frankly. One positive point, i would like to tell you is that, it is easy to treat infertility if it is due to ovulation dysfunction. Best of luck.

I am 30 weeks, 4 days pregnant with my first child. A little girl we are naming Reese. I had an ultrasound done last Tuesday, and followed up on Friday.

That appointment is not until November 3rd. She said everything was probably fine and not to worry. But naturally. as a first time mother and a pediatric occuoational therapist by trade, I am worried.\n[|AI|] Hello In fetus right ventricle is the prominent ventricle. An experienced fetal monologist or echocardiography can detect the defect. If left ventricle is enlarged it is an abnormal finding. Many a times' sonographer assessment is not accurate. Conditions like single ventricle or persistent trucks can cause dilated left ventricle. So I would suggest you to consult an expert for the proper evaluation.

Is that the right course of action?\n[|AI|] Hello, It could be soft tissue swelling. You should not go to a chiropractor before making a diagnosis. You can go for an ultrasound to confirm the diagnosis. A fine needle biopsy may be required in case of diagnostic confusion.

Now its almost 10years I am not pregnant. IUI, polycystic, harmones level is being checked. But still no positive. Request to help\/guide me.\n[|AI|] Hi Museum, From you history I gather that all your investigations are normal. Except for removal of left fallopian tube. Your other risk factor is age of 38 yrs. Tubal pregnancy is due to some sort of damage to inside of tube, may be infection or surgery etc. Usually if one tube is damaged by infection, other one also s at risk of damage, you never get cold in one nostril !! So no matter what you do, GUI or injections Sperm & egg may not be meeting at all. Keeping history of failed treatments, History of tubal damage & most important age of 38 yrs, I would advise you to try IVF. Once you reach 40 yrs, your ovaries will not have healthy eggs enough to have pregnancy. In IVF tube is not needed & pregnancy chances are high. It is costlier than other methods but has definitely higher pregnancy chances. Hope I have clarified your overall the best Chat Doctor. \n"},{"Conversation":"The conversation between human and AI assistant.\n[|Human|] Hello,I had renal cell carcinoma and had a partial nephrectomy om 05\/29\/2013.

Started out as one but over the last two years it became three and now two are marble sized and one is oblong and about the size of a walnut. I also noticed that now below my Left knee there is a larger oblong area that protrudes noticeably...even more than on the Right leg. Very noticeable. No pain or tenderness. Is this a cause for concern or should I just keep an eye on it.\n[|AI|] Hi, Thank you for your query. I can understand your concerns. Painless movable lump around your left knee could be either Meniscal cyst or Sebaceous cyst or Bakers cyst. Meniscal cyst may result from trauma, hemorrhage, chronic infection, and mucoid degeneration. The most widely accepted theory describes meniscal cysts resulting from extrusion of synovial fluid through a peripherally extended horizontal meniscal tear, accumulating outside the joint capsule. They arise more commonly from the lateral joint margin, and occur most often in 20 to 40-year-old males. Sebaceous cysts originate from sebaceous glands in skin and contain sebum. Bakers cyst: A swelling or cyst at the back of the knee which is usually associated with rheumatoid arthritis.

From your question it looks that your husband has a psychotic illness, he is on separate sprinkles and risperidone 3 mg but still has auspiciousness and talks out of context. Dosage of separate is not mentioned. From my clinical experience I can say that either the dosage of the medicine is low or maybe he is not taking it regularly. So, if you are sure of compliance, it will be very helpful to increase TH dose of risperidone to 4\u00a0mg - 6\u00a0mg in a day. Along with it, I have seen clonazepam 0.5-1 mg effective in case when patient is difficult to manage \/gets very angry\/unable to sleep, on as and when required basis. It is advisable to get sodium valproate levels done, to ensure that the sprinkles are providing adequate among of Chat Doctor.

In my opinion, your upper left sided chest pain is mostly due to muscular cause but better to rule out cardiac cause first. So get done 1. ECG 2. 2d echo. If both are normal then no need to worry about cardiac cause. Muscular pain appears more in your case. So try to follow these steps for better symptomatic relief. 1. Avoid heavyweight lifting. 2. Avoid strenuous exercise. 3. Avoid bad postures in sleep. Also avoid movements causing pain. 4. Start painkiller and muscle relaxant. 5. Apply warm water pad on affected site.

The anticipation of these attacks causes further anxiety. If these attacks are very distressing I would advise you to start a SSRI preferably Paroxetine (Part CR 12.5 mg) at bedtime and continue it for at least 6 months. It can be increased further with a psychiatrist advice. You should not take Mizoram unsupervised for so long. Also get one ECG and TSH done to rule out any other physical cause of anxiety.

The area should be cleaned with an antiseptic solution and topical antibiotics applied. She may need to have it reviewed by her doctor at intervals to make sure that it is healing well.

I hope these have not happened after the allergy shots in which case you need to get the concentration and content of the shots (subcutaneous immunotherapy, I suppose) reviewed by your Allergist. Long-acting antihistamines are recommended as a trial in the first instance.

The most important thing is to remain compliant with treatment for 6-9 months whatever is the stipulated time by doctor.

We have a 2 year old. My Dr prescribed Fertodim-50 and said I should take it on day 2 of my cycle for 5 days. My cycle is 25-28 days. I took it this month and started intercourse on the 9th day according to my Dr and fertility calculator. We had sex for 3 consecutive days. Should we have proceeded after the 3rd day and how exactly should I be taking the pill if I m not pregnant ?\n[|AI|] Hallow Dear, Fatimid pills are the tablets of Camphene citrate. I would have appreciated had you taken some more scientific steps as described below:1. From day 9 onwards, subject yourself for the ovulation monitoring by ultrasonography. Usually the egg is released when the follicle attains the size of 18 mm to 21 mm. So you can plan your sexual relations accordingly. Ultrasonography also will provide an evidence of egg release. 2. Some prefer to give In. Chat Doctor when the follicle is matured to have guaranteed and planned egg release. So from a couple of days before that to few days after injection, sexual contacts are advisable. 3. Camphene citrate should not be taken for more than 6 cycles. If it does not result into pregnancy, you may have to change over to HMG\/Chat Doctor combination for induction of ovulation. If all these fail, you may have to go for Artificial Reproduction Technique. I hope this provides you brief and still apt guidelines. \n"},{"Conversation":"The conversation between human and AI assistant.\n[|Human|] My father is suffering from chest pain for last 1 week, he went to cardioligst in my home down and he done x-ray, ecg and all necessary tests. he said the heart function is normal and it is normal pain. He has given medicines for 1 month. but still my father is finding pain in his left chest\n[|AI|] Hi thanks for asking question. Usually with chest pain we think about ischemic heart disease, and we do ECG for it. Your ECG is normal so HD chance are less. Second this could be because of musculoskeletal pain. Heavy exercise, heavyweight lift or improper bed posture can be the cause. Simple analgesic and hot compress helpful for that. Prolong acid reflux also lead to such pain. Omeprazole taken for it. Here you have symptoms since 1 month so better to rule out respiratory cause by doing chest x-ray if coughed, fever also present. Take enough rest.

I understand your health concern, if I am your doctor I suggest you that hard bump without fluids are not related to ivy poison and those coming out with clear fluid is related to poison ivy. For hard bump cortisone is not right cream. You should consult doctor and take appropriate treatment for it. Because visual examinations will only help in proper treatment.

Having something unusual happen to you can be quite discomforting. I am glad you got an MRI brain done, and no tumor was detected. The clicking in the left part of your head might be due to a temporomandibular joint (TMJ) misalignment. A lot of people have this kind of issue. If you have not other symptoms other than this clicking and some pain which may be related to the TMJ issue, I advise you to not be too concerned about it.

According to your symptoms, I think that you suffer from arthritis. Even though you have two different reports, they are basically the same thing, because the extra spine is an indicator of arthritis. Even though you have taken an X-ray, you should take some more, such as:- Fibrinogen test-ESR (erythrocyte sedimentation rate)- neck CT-scanner (computed tomography)The therapy consists of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory and chiropractic procedure.

I also miscarried at 5 weeks ( just a couple of days ago). I have a ten year old daughter from previous relationship. Is my body trying to tell me that I m too old for another pregnancy. Should I try ivf ?\n[|AI|] Hello dear, I understand your concern. In my opinion the problem in your case is maintained of pregnancy but not formation of embryo. Usually IVF is suggested to those who are not able to conceive naturally. But in your case the pregnancy occurred naturally both of the times, but first one got terminated due to ectopic and 2nd one due to miscarriage. The cause for ectopic cannot be pinpointed, but the miscarriage might be due to genetic anomalies or hormonal insufficiency like thyroid abnormalities or progesterone insufficiency, diabetes etc. So I suggest you to rule out thyroid abnormalities, diabetes etc. Also give a gap of 3 months for next conception. And start taking folic acid tablet starting one month before planning the pregnancy. And as you are 36 years get screened for Down syn Chat Doctor. Nothing to worry. Untoward effects might not repeat in further pregnancy. Relax. Avoid stress. As stress also might hamper the normal hormonal balance in body leading to untoward effects. Hope this helps.

So, I suggest discussing with his doctor if your son is suffering from gastritis or HERD in order to start appropriate treatment. You are also saying that your son is a college boy. Being stressed out\/anxious of exams and other college-related stuff would also affect him negatively leading to such problems. I suggest being close to him and support him, letting him know that you are proud of him whatever results he gets in the exams. If you cannot be close to him, you can ask to get helped by his friends or by medical team (psychotherapy). At the end, I also suggest going to his college, ask his teachers and classmates about his behavior to understand more his current situation.

I have noted your daughters symptoms. She has absence seizures, which seem to be well controlled with sodium valproate. However, she is also putting on weight. Most probably, weight gain in your daughter is related to the use of sodium valproate. We should not stop valproate, as her seizures may worsen.

However the diaper should be of proper size so that your baby feels it comfortable. The only thing you have to worry about is rashes.

Welcome to Chat Doctor . I have gone through your query and can understand your concern. As per your complaint it seems that you have got a nerve injury with the pricking needle that is used in the injection and due to nerve injury there is numbness in the injection site along with the adjoining area supplied by the nerve leading to numbness. The stringy substance that you are feeling can be due to infection leading to pus formation. Mostly nerve injuries caused by needle prick are transient and the sensation almost completely recovers. As of now you can take vitamin B complex daily as it helps in nerve regeneration and healing. Do warm compresses over the numb area. If there is any stringy discharge you should consult a Physician and get evaluated so that he can give you oral and topical antibiotics for resolution of infection. Hope this information helps.

Furthermore, it causes increased mucus production and a decreased ability to clear the lungs which can lead to pneumonia. 4. Furthermore, it causes decreased wound healing. To be eligible you must quit smoking first and after 8 weeks you can donate the kidney to your friend after getting the pre-operative medical fitness.

I went to the OB today and the urine test says its negative. She prescribed duphaston to be taken twice a day for 7 days. She says the reason that i still dont have my period yet is due to hormonal imbalance. I am still confused because ever since I got my period at the age of 12 and now im 32, i have a regular period. This is the first time that my period was delayed. My husband and I are trying to conceive for the a year already. please help clarify things for me. I am also scheduled to take an xray as required by my new job. My OB said its safe to get an xray as Im not pregnant. Should i wait for 1 more week and take a preg test before taking the xray?\n[|AI|] helloThanks for your query. Once in a while, it happens that periods get delayed for no reason (mild hormonal imbalance).stress, anxiety, travelling and change of place, weight loss, thyroid hormone problems, polycystic ovaries etc. also can cause menstrual delay. Yes, I would ask you to wait for your periods in fact, before taking the x-ray, as sometimes, delayed conception might occur. Finish the course of phaeton, and if you do not have with Chat Doctor.

He is totally bedridden.\n[|AI|] Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your brothers situation and problem. Yes, possibility of Chat Doctor. This is common complication of terminal lung cancer. And for this you can give him blood thinner medicines like heparin, warfarin, Coumadin etc. If not treated properly than this gangrene can go upside and involve foot, leg, thigh etc. So ask his doctor about starting blood thinner medicines.

A fast pulse rate can have many causes. To name a few common ones: anxiety, emotional stress, panic attacks, exercise, fever. You mentioned that you were not feeling well. Based on the tests you were advised it seems that the doctor was suspecting an infection. Were you down with fever since that could elevate the heart as I have mentioned? Fever can also cause the appearance of protein in the urine, which would disappear once the fever settles. In my opinion fever seems to be the most probable cause for you having both a fast heart rate and protein in the urine. Please do not get worked up.

The actual tooth part doesnt start until almost my gumline. The other day, I bit too hard into the gum that is still on the impacted wisdom tooth and created a sore lump. Now I cannot chew on the left side of my mouth or close my mouth all the way.\n[|AI|] With your query, as you mentioned that you have impacted tooth that means the tooth hasn't reached to its causal level and still covered by gum that is technically called as periodontal flap. Coming to your swelling I mean the lump could be a periodontal abscess which may be due to forceful food impaction in to gingival called as pseudo pocket. Treatment for this are by two means initially it has to get irrigated by an antiseptic solution then either you should go for a procedure called operculectomy which means removal of gingival or gum that is present over the tooth. This decision will be made by examining the tooth eruption status by radiograph and your age. In some instances if they decide tooth development is complete and chances of recurrence is more than you may have to undergo extraction for the impacted tooth. I would suggest you to go and visit oral surgeon for time being you can start using antibiotics along with painkillers and visit dentist as early as possible for complete treatment.

Pills are hormone based and can alter the concentrations of your natural hormones there by leading to menstrual irregularities. Since you changed abruptly your initial birth control and introduced a new one, it is possible that it is the change that lead to this. Menstrual irregularities e.g., spotting, breakthrough bleeding or amenorrhea can occur during its use. Most of these side effects are mild and usually disappear after a few months of contraceptive use. So I suggest you worry less than stress on its own can lead to menstrual irregularity. Hope this helps\n"},{"Conversation":"The conversation between human and AI assistant.\n[|Human|] Hello I just noticed I have a bump in my pubic area. It s about the size of a kidney bean.

I dont think this should hurt so much.\n[|AI|] Hi. Can understand your concern. As per your complaint you have got two crowns placed and pain after this can be due to either of the following reasons. One reason can be in case if the crowns were placed without root canal treatment of tooth (it is a treatment in which the nerves and blood vessels present in the tooth are cut off either to relieve pain due to infection or as an intentional procedure to avoid complications like pain and sensitivity after crown placement) the preparation of the tooth for seating the crown if done in excess can lead to opening of nerves and when the crown is placed over opened nerves it can cause inflammation of nerve and hence severe pain. In case if the crowns are placed after root canal treatment for an infected tooth pain can be due to persistent infection leading to pus formation and pressure which is not subsided or there is some vital nerve tissue left out in any missed root canal can cause severe pain on crown placement. I would suggest you to consult an ENDODONTIST and get evaluated clinically as well as by getting x-ray done to rule out the cause of pain. In case if root canal is not done and pain is due to irritated nerves the crown needs to be removed followed by Root canal treatment and medicines and once pain is completely subsided crown can be placed again. In case of root canal treated tooth also re treatment will have to be done. You can take painkiller like Eugenic plus or Retool DT (one tablet dissolved in half a glass of water) to provide relief.

He came home but after returning home he has sever burning sensation in his left hamstring and tingling & numbness in the calf. His right foot hurts but is more worried about the left leg. He wondered if it has to do with circulation as well as causing him to pass out?\n[|AI|] Hello! Welcome on Chat Doctor 1I read carefully your question and understand your concern. The fainting does not seem to be related to the leg pain. Maybe the leg pain is caused by a trauma in this region during the fall. Coming to this point, I would recommend consulting with his GP for a careful physical exam and some tests to investigate for the possible causes of fainting (cardiac arrhythmia, epilepsy, low blood pressure, low fasting glucose, etc.). For this reason, it is necessary performing some tests: - a resting ECG and a cardiac ultrasound- an EEG- an ECG Holder monitoring to investigate for arrhythmia-complete blood count-blood electrolytes- fasting glucose.

Thank you.\n[|AI|] Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You have history of unprotected sex. Your HIV tests at different times are negative. Your tests are negative at 7 months interval. So there is no need to worry. You are free from HIV. For confirmation, you can go with p24 antigen or PCR test. It gives confirm results. Your symptoms are not due to HIV. If you have enlarged lymph node with cough and mild fever then you should go for fine needle aspiration cytology of lymph node. It can be due to reactive hyperplasia or tuberculosis. FNAC 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.

I don t know what to do..I do have some mucus and some coughing fits but I m thinking maybe it s in my head? But I also feel like something is in my lungs that needs to be coughed up...what to do?\n[|AI|] The airways have a strong defense mechanism, thus the corn may have come out and not noticed by you. Even if it hasn`t come out, it will be dealt by body defenses and may not cause any problem. However, it can get lodged in the bronchial tree(airways) depending on it's size. It may lead to collapse of a portion of lung depending on the site of impaction and may lead to infection. If you are having symptoms, a chest X-ray or CT Scan should be done to confirm the diagnosis and to identify the site of impaction. Infection will have to be treated with antibiotics. Subsequently, it can be removed by performing a bronchoscopy.\n"},{"Conversation":"The conversation between human and AI assistant.\n[|Human|] I have had MRSA about 3 times in the past year.

She is having gas all the time, any thing I can do lessen her pain... Thanks in advance.\n[|AI|] Preterm babies often have laxity of muscles including that of the lower end of the food pipe which may cause the stomach acids to reflux. The acid is otherwise essential for the digestion of the food. The solution is not in giving Landon although Coastal may be given. The main solution is proper burping of the baby. Hold the child erect on your lap for around 20 mins after each feed. It should take care of the problem. If you put down the baby on the bed soon after the feed, reflux is not unusual.\n"},{"Conversation":"The conversation between human and AI assistant.\n[|Human|] I have been having dizzy spells and issues with my balance for about 6 months. Sometimes the balance gets quite bad, I have never fallen but it is uncomfortable and has caused me much anxiety. I had migraines daily for 40 days, they have since stopped this was in the middle of the spells (so 3 months in). I have lower blood pressure, and have always had this. I had a full cardiac workup a year and a half ago (I was having dizzy spells but not the balance problems). When this started I felt like a wave of dizzy came up from my neck and was centralized in my left quadrant frontal of my head. I saw a neurologist at this point referred to by my GP and he couldn t find anything wrong and thought it was just unexplained sensations. My GP thought maybe seizures. After having the bout of recurring migraines I did have an MRI whicChatDoctore back normal. I am at a loss as I am still having these issues. My GP put me on Zoloft as it created anxiety but also perhaps is caused by anxiety. I don t feel this is anxiety. I also have sensations in my left calf which are either heightened or dulled (numb) in the inner medial portion and sometimes a buzzing sensation in my groin and foot. I am worried that there is something neurologically wrong with me that the MRI missed.\n[|AI|] Hi, Diagnosing balance issues and dizzy spells is difficult. One important thing to rule out is cardiac reasons. Another important aspect is central nervous system reasons. It is great that you already tested for both that and the results came back normal. From your description. I think this could be a case of polyneuropathy. The peripheral nerves sending feedback about balance are the first to be affected with chronic medical conditions such as diabetes, or it B12 deficiencies. If I were your treating physician after detailed history and physical examination I would ask for blood tests including it. B12 levels, HbA1C, fasting glucose. I would refer you to do a caloric ear test also, which provide an idea of the function of the balance center in the ear. I would also run a Doppler test for your carotids (Arteries in the neck the supply the brain). Based on results a therapeutic plan could be constructed. Hope I have answered your query.

My doc put me on 2000mcg of B12 for a month but after 2 weeks i noticed i get pain in left arm and tingly fingers in left hand so i stopped taking the B12 pill and it went away, does this show B12 causing me a blood clot? Tommorow morning i go get my total t tested again and the free t also b12 tested again to see if there has been improvement. Sorry for the paragraph i appreciate your time.\n[|AI|] Ernie, the B12 is probably a red herring. It probably didn't cause the problem you started with or the arm sensations. When you have the constellation of things that are bothering you, it is reasonable to look for a systemic problem. It sounds as though your doctor has done that and not really found a culprit. Often, the problem is not an illness but a lack of some of the things that we all need to stay healthy. Specifically ask yourself and of your doctor about, Exercise: Exercising every day for 20 minutes should be your goal. Is your body weight excessive. A little can go a long way if it is mostly in your belly where it affects sleep, joints, heart rhythm and when you're older, diabetes and heart disease. Abnormal sleep. Sleep disturbance is often present in people who are overweight, particularly those who snore. If you are very tired in the morning, sleep easily during the day and snore loudly, you may have sleep apnea.

It happens with minimal sexual stimulation and before the person wishes. Most cases of premature ejaculation do not have a clear cause. With sexual experience and age, men often learn to delay orgasm. Premature ejaculation may occur with a new partner. It may happen only in certain sexual situations or if it has been a long time since the last ejaculation. Psychological factors such as anxiety, guilt, or depression can also cause it. In some cases, it may be related to a medical cause such as hormonal problems, injury, or a side effect of certain medicines. In many cases premature ejaculation gets better on its own over time. Treatment may not be needed. Practicing relaxation techniques or using distraction methods may help you delay ejaculation.

I can understand your concern. You have cystic lesion on your shin. It may be ganglion cyst or other cystic lesion. You should go for ultrasound study and if needed to go for fine needle aspiration cytology. It will give you exact diagnosis. Then you should take treatment accordingly. Complete excision is the treatment of choice. Consult your doctor and take treatment accordingly. Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer.

They are very itchy and I tend to end up scratching them with my teeth. Sometimes it will just be one white bump other times it will be a big patch of white bumps from the tip of my tounge all the way along the side. They are always only along the edge and never in the center. They are normally there for a week or two and then they go away for a two to three months and then come back.

I was running fever for a few days but had very little cough but did have wheezing. Last week, I developed a dry cough and still wheezing, especially with activities like walking, going up or down stairs, etc. This week, I still have the same cough and wheezing as well as some shortness of breath. If this was a virus, should I go to the doctor?\n[|AI|] Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. By your history and description, possibility of post infectious bronchitis is more likely. Bronchitis is very common after viral upper respiratory tract infection (URI). Bronchitis causes bronchospasm and this in turn causes breathlessness, wheezing, cough etc. So consult pulmonologist and get done clinical examination of respiratory system and PFT (Pulmonary Function Test). PFT will not only diagnose bronchitis, but it will also tell you about severity of the disease and treatment is based on severity only. You will mostly improve with inhaled bronchodilators (formoterol or albuterol) and inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) (budesonide or fluticasone). Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health.

You are having ringing ears, nausea and headache since 1 year, so we need to rule out ear cause first. As all these symptoms are seen in ear diseases. So better to consult ENT doctor and get done clinical examination of ear and rule out ear problems. If this is normal, then mostly you are having anxiety and related symptoms. So better to consult psychiatrist and get done counselling sessions. Try to identify stressor in your life and start working n its solution. You may need anxiolytic Chat Doctor.

Stop the dam stuff. Keto amino acids have not been proven to be of any benefit at all, but still widely prescribed in India (no where else in the world can people be fooled like here!!). At the very least it should not cause any harm. However, if the Creatinine has jumped up so quickly, something is wrong here, and it might\/ might not be the new medicines that you started. Many medicines can cause a kind of inflammation in kidneys called Interstitial Nephritis which can cause sudden deterioration in kidney function (especially in those with suboptimal kidney function). The cause of deterioration might be something totally different - hence very important to get back to your)or another) nephrologist and get yourself checked out.

She has ITP. She had a splenectomy a few years ago but her spleen actually grew back! She had a relapse and her platelet count dropped to 9k last year. A month or so ago she got salmonella and they dropped again to 40k. She recovered and they went up over 150k. Recently she had another drop and they went down to 53k, then a week later 29k. She just had another blood test (these were all in the last 3 weeks, one a week) and it is 530k. No-one could explain how it could of risen so much with no medication? She has been eating slightly better the last week or so and been doing gentle exercise but could this affect it? everyone is baffled. We are in New Zealand and she wants to do a skydive. Is this recommended because we are worried that they could reduce quickly like they have risen?she had 2 blood tests to make sure the 530 was correct nd it went to 505 after 1 hour which is normal they say?and shows they are correct? what could the reason be and then maybe she can do something to try and keep them up??can she??she has also had mild nose bleeds while the count is high and this is normall sign of low count??\n[|AI|] Hi, Thanks for asking. Based on your query, my opinion is as follows.1. Bone marrow biopsy will confirm the increased platelet count.2. Yes, such recovery is rare and indicates good marrow capability.3. Nose bleeds could be due to Chat Doctor. Bleeding is usually not seen with normal platelet count. 4. During periods of sepsis platelet counts are known to fall. However, they do not fall on their own. Previously it was autoimmune disease or sepsis. Now, not to worry, she can skydive. Hope it helps.

Many times seizure disorders can get missed in the single EEG. What is required is multiple EGGS and if possible EEG's with photic stimulation.

For encephalopathy you are already under the physician and a neurologist will play an important role. Looking into the MRI scan may reveal the areas involved, and the medical treatment will be initiated based on the symptoms. Rest you need to discuss with your physician or neurologist that physical therapy is an option to try for reducing the lethargic symptoms, as by doing exercise the metabolism improves and helps boost the medical treatment to get positive outcome as well. Taking to confusion it is symptomatic and will subside. For incontinence issue the brain has to start regenerating the impulses back as to which the issues will come down. Bladder training can be done under a guided physical therapist. I have seen such cases and all responded well by coordinating the medical prescription and physical therapy.

Many other headache possibilities and a reason for a head scan if it is a new headache. AND..... a nerve pinched at the very top of the spin in the back of the head gives pain in that area that goes up the back of the head to the top. It is associated with muscle cramps and generally gets worse with any movement of the neck (bouncing, turning, walking, etc.) This is a serious condition because if the spine is unstable it can lead to total paralysis--broken neck.

I consulted 2 doctors and one of them strongly was against biopsy. So we decided against it. Im 18 and since it didnt go away yet. we went for another doctor. He suggested an ultrasound. There was splenomegaly and I think there was some swollen nodes in the abdomen too. I was tested for TB and it came back negative. So, Im guessing when I go in tomorrow for consultation, hed say I have lymphoma. So this is my question. How curable is lymphoma? How much time does it take for it become terminal? Thank you in advance. Id love if you reply fast. Its 1 AM here and oh, Im scared bad.\n[|AI|] Hi, thank you posting at Chat Doctor. I can understand very well your concern, I recommend being sure if it is lymphoma malign you should make the following tests:1. Lymph node biopsy(total excision of a lymph node that is then examined under the microscope)2. FISH (fluorescent in situ hybridization).3. Specific blood test(It is realized by laser). The results of the tests will determine the diagnosis and the treatment. You need to make those to test because they are necessary. But is the possibility that you don't suffer from lymphoma, but from an easy form of this disease.

Ive known Ive had a mitral valve prolapse, with just a flutter once in a while. Id cough and it would go away. About 3 yrs. ago I went through breast cancer, mastectomy and a tram reconstruction, nothing in my lymph nodes, so I had no further treatment needed, thankfully. About 1 1\/2 yrs. ago my doctor at my regular check up said she heard more gushing in my chest and advised me to get an echo. I didnt really feel anything and put it off until I needed to have more reconstuction surgery last Dec.and my plastic surgeon said the same thing, so I had it done. My cardiologist said it was moderate to severe stenosis of the aeortic valve, and another new cardiologist gave me a card that I have a bicuspid aeortic valve. He did another echo and confirmed the first report. It was a little hard to see, but he thought I had this from birth, but it looked like I only had 2 cusps instead of 3 and now have some calcium buildup there was why it had gotten more prounounced. I had to have some more breast reconstruction done in December, but had it done under local. I still need another procedure of some fat transfer done in the next months to help fill in a small sunken area above the breast. Anyway my last cardiologist appt. in June said to wait for 6 months and have another echo, unless I have any bad symptoms before. When I think about it it seems I have more fluttering. Stress seems to upset it a little. I really feel good, no pain, maybe a little shortness of breath when I climb stairways, but besides a little pounding every now and then I wouldnt know it. BP is low. But because I know it, and it was a big shock as I feel like Im falling apart and I do worry about it. I sometimes maybe feel a little rushing in my head but thats pretty mild. Im pretty healthy or thought I always was til now. Im 58 weigh 148 # have some joint issues with my hips, knees and recently my shoulders, and Im more comfortable on a bike than walking because of this. Seems to be easier on my joints. I went to Curves for 9 years and both in our area closed in the last 6 mos., so i try to do some form of exercise at home. Thought I could wait til I could have a non invasive approach to the valve, I just find it really hard to think of having my chest split, especially now since Ive had all my reconstruction and am in fair order there. My cardiolgist doesnt recommend the non invasive approach. And I hear the valves dont last that long and dont want to think of more surgeries down the road. I take one drug arimidex for the breast cancer for another 2 years. Im ready to get rid of it, as I think it has precipitated some of my joint problems. So far my dexi scans are o.k What are my options and warnings.\n[|AI|] You are having aortic stenosis. First you need to regularize your heart check up and regular echo to know the heart functions. If cardiologist recommend you the surgery then you should undergo it. Best option available is valve replacement. Metallic valve have good life and bioprosthetic ones have short life span. However after metallic valve replacement will need blood thinners post operative. But in short if you surgery you should undergo it because without surgery prognosis is bad and survival is short\n"},{"Conversation":"The conversation between human and AI assistant.\n[|Human|] I have swelling on the upper part of my left knee.

I want to know because u did not mention this in your history. If swelling was after injury then X-ray of left knee anteroposterior and lateral views should be done to rule out fracture Since pain is not relieved in 2 days.

I have had a neuro psych baseline prior to the thought of Fahr s since I thought I had early onset Alzhiemer s because of my poor memory, the psychologist said NO to that.

Or, how does the walking interference feel, is it because of a deep knee pain? Much more facts about the main symptoms and how things might feel. I appreciate any assistance.\n[|AI|] In my opinion First if pain in ankle is in a specific spot in the back of your ankle + pain in the back of your knee then its just mechanical pain that can be fixed by wearing a foot arch and slightly leaning forwards while walking, second if pain is in a wide area then it could be from lumber disc lesion)From the way you wrote your question your mind and thinking are clear , you should take female hormones and check your thyroid levels, magnesium hormone imbalance can cause your foggy memory Good Luck\n"},{"Conversation":"The conversation between human and AI assistant.\n[|Human|] hello,im a 16 year old girl, my height being 5 4 and my weight being 98.

Fever in a sis year old in the absence of other symptoms could be considered as viral fever. You can give Tylenol every 4 hours at 10-15 mg\/kg dose. And also give tepid sponging.

Last Wednesday I felt a tiny bit of swelling (then thought a pulled muscle) behind my right jaw. The next day I woke up and my face had clearly swollen. I booked an appointment at my University health centre where a nurse saw me, said it is very likely that I have mumps and that I need to wait 5 days from the swelling before I can leave my university dorm as I am infectious. 5 days later, after 4 days of intense pain on my face and jaw, not being able to chew anything and having no energy, I was feeling better and went out yesterday into the world. Today is 7 days since the original swelling began, I wake up and have the same feeling I did when the right side began to swell on the left side of my jaw. Its only swollen a little but it hurts when I chew more so than the right side and is painful like the right side was.Does this mean I still have mumps and have to stay in isolation for another 5 days? Will the left side get just as swollen as the right side did because I dont think I can bare the pain.Thank you\n[|AI|] Hi. Can understand your concern. As per your complaint Mumps also known as \"Epidemic Parotitis\" is a VIRAL infection, and it can affect either one side or both sides Parotid glands which are major salivary glands leading to the above explained symptoms. It is very much clear from your explanation that you have mumps. The symptoms subside within 7 to 10 days after the symptoms appear. There is no exact treatment for mumps and only symptomatic relief can be provided. For pain, you can take Acetaminophen or Tylenol for relief. Doing cold compresses can be relieving. Take plenty of fluids which can include water, fruit juices, soups etc. Take a soft and nutritious diet. Take sufficient rest. In case if the symptoms persist for more than 10 days without any relief you should consult a physician. Although after occurrence of mumps once the person becomes immune for lifetime and relapse can be with very mild symptoms. Hope this information helps. Thanks and regards.

No stone found in ultrasound but doctor said it is kidney stone pain. But I am having pain on regular intervals. Some time it is severe. Please suggest what should i do.\n[|AI|] HelloThanks for query. Based on the facts that you have posted I think you have stone in middle part of your Rt ureter . Normally stones in the middle 1\/3 part of the ureter are not picked up in ultrasound Scanning as this portion of the ureter is overlapped by bowels (Intestines). You need to do either CT Scan of Kidney Ureter or radiological test called Intravenous Paleography(MVP) to confirm \/rule out mid Ureteric stone. Please consult qualified Urologist for evaluation and get the test done under his guidance to confirm the diagnosis. Further treatment will depend on upon the result of the test and final diagnosis.

And also is my condition a very bad one?\n[|AI|] Hi, Thanks for the query. I have read & understood your query.

A small amount of weight loss can correct the hormonal imbalance. Leaving smoking helps. - Hormonal imbalance can be controlled with Cyclical oral contraceptives. - Medicines like Metformin, Camphene are tried to stimulate ovulation - If nothing helps, surgical Chat Doctor. * For this you should approach a gynecologist & after pathological tests.

Heartburn due to gastritis in most of the cases. Junk and spicy food may lead to same. Avoid this kind of food. Avoid overeating. Have any proton pump inhibitor like omeprazole once or twice a day for few days. That will combat your heart burn. Regarding periods its quite common to have irregular periods.

It is one of the safest mode to fulfill desire of sexual satisfaction without getting in to physical intimacy with female.

Did they release me from the hospital too soon?\n[|AI|] Your Hemoglobin levels seem to be low but that can have a number of causes. From the history that you have given, it is not quite clear if your hemoglobin levels were decreased prior to surgery or after surgery. Also, only low hemoglobin levels by themselves are not always the criteria for inpatient therapy and a hemoglobin of 8.5 is quite compatible with discharge. But then again, we are not quite conversant with what condition you have been suffering from and what surgery was done.

Fat globules in stool examination is a normal finding in stool. It is related to the fat content of the ingested food. This finding may rarely be considered significant in a child with a liver or pancreatic disease. But in the face of a healthy child, this finding can be ignored.Similarly, few yeast cells in stool examination could also be an incidental finding with not much significance.

Why is she on antibiotics for so long\n[|AI|] Hello, It is challenging to come to diagnosis with a limited history provided in the query. However, the use of long term antibiotic therapy is called for patients who suffer with immunodeficiency. The antibiotics prevent the risk of acquiring recurrent severe infections in such patients. As you have mentioned your grand child is five months old; it is likely that she is suffering from some form of rare congenital immunodeficiency. In this condition the normal infection-fighting system of the body does not function fully, making the person prone to severe infections. Apart from antibiotics other forms of treatment available for such patients includes antibody infusion, and stem cell transplantation. In addition, kidneys are usually normal as the immune cells are usually a component of blood. Hope I have answered your query.

The swellings that he had earlier from the tooth only got worse, not his entire cheek is extremely swollen.

The swelling over the cheek is because of the abscess or collection of pus secondary to teeth or gum infection. Consult an oral physician and get it evaluated. If I am your treating doctor, I would have suggested you to take radiographs like RVG or IOP AR to rule out gum and teeth infection. If it is a gum or teeth infection I would have prescribed a course of antibiotics like amoxicillin and metronidazole for 5 days (if you are not allergic). Then I would have suggested going for scaling and root planing for gum infection. Root canal treatment or extraction if it is a tooth infection.

TB tests were conducted with no positive result. Thereafter, she was moved to Chitra Medical Hospital, Trivandrum and her samples were sent to NIMHANS for further study. Meanwhile, this period my cousin was losing her vision. A brain surgery was carried out and it was found that the vein supporting the eye sight was blocked and it was infected. The doctors are saying that she will lose her eyesight in a few months or so because of the infection. We really dont know if it s TB.Is there anything which we could do to retain her eyesight?\n[|AI|] Hi, Thanks for writing in. The eyes are vital organs, and it is important to treat any condition threatening eyesight immediately. TB is a condition that can present with unique symptoms and involvement of the vein supplying the eyes is rare. Since a brain surgery was carried out, it is possible that the doctors took measures to safeguard her eyesight, but little could be done as there was a lot of infection. When there is significant infection, certain decisions have to be taken by the operating surgeon to protect the life of the patient and avoid further complications. To confirm TB or not you can send slides to research hospitals elsewhere in the country but the hospitals she has shown are well known for brain disease treatments. Particularly for her eyesight, it will help if you can request the eye surgeon to have a panel discussion with her neurologist.\n"},{"Conversation":"The conversation between human and AI assistant.\n[|Human|] my boyfriend is experiencing breathlessness, some chest pains and hes been having headaches and his eyes are aching.

However my father gave up his smoking habits around 10 years back.please give me some suggestion.\n[|AI|] Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. In my opinion we need to rule out cardiac and respiratory causes for your fat fathers breathlessness. Since he was chain smoker we need to rule out COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease).

If it is a soft tissue (tendon and muscle), then you need to go to a cosmetic surgeon who can see if anything can be done. I hope this helps!

So the back brackets dont have a wire on the bottom. Now the place I go to is Western Dental and its also a Orthodontist place. They said they couldnt fix it until my next appointment which is on December 11. What should I do? Is this bad?\n[|AI|] Hello, thank you for consulting with us for your problem. When you are taking an orthodontic treatment it is better to keep in touch with the dentist as these type of problems arise commonly. If the wire is broken at the time of treatment it will delay the treatment as the wire will not be able to put pressure on the teeth and there will be no effect of the treatment. It is better to consult you dentist and get it fixed because visiting other dentist will be difficult for your treatment.\n"},{"Conversation":"The conversation between human and AI assistant.\n[|Human|] Hi Doctor,I am suffering from Urticaria since last Dec. Food allergic test conducted in your clinic on 24th Feb and in Marry Queens hospital on 30th March shows no allergic to any food except a doubtful reaction on white egg and mutton. How ever I was under full control of these items. Still the itching and hives appears always and even lead to angio edema some times with swelling of lips and difficulty in brething. I changed my BP\/Cholestrol tabs which were using for the last few years. Can you please advise whether I need to undergo one more food allergy test or any other remedies.Your advice is most appreciated.ThanksSalim Shah, Trivandrum46Y, 170cm, 80Kg\n[|AI|] Hi, Thank you for your query. I can understand your concerns. You are having Urticaria and angioedema. Causative allergens can be food as well as non-food protein. You can undergo serum IGE level & absolute eosinophil count. You can take H\u2081 antihistamines non-sedating agents such as loratadine, loratadine, and fexofenadine, or low-sedating agents such as cetirizine or levocetirizine. The addition of an H\u2082 antagonist such as sanitizing in conventional dosages may add benefit. A CysLT1 receptor antagonist such as montelukast, 10 mg\/day also can be added. You have to continue for a longer period, as it may be seasonal. A short course of oral steroid (e.g. Deflazacort 6 mg daily orally for 7-10 days) helps in urticaria with eosinophil prominence, idiopathic angioedema with or without urticaria, or chronic urticaria that responds poorly to conventional treatment.\n"},{"Conversation":"The conversation between human and AI assistant.\n[|Human|] I have a small lump on the back of my right calf.

Thank you for asking. If gallbladder has stones the things we need to worry about is if it involves nearby bile duct and dilates the common bile duct and adds to the yellowish discoloration of the skin(jaundice). Also, the pancreatic profiles Serum amylase lipases amylase to lipase ratios. Alkaline phosphatase and bilirubin levels hike means that the common Bile Duct CBD is involved. And yes in that case ERCP (Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography) is the next step as it would be both diagnostic and therapeutic. Then you will be prepared for simple laparoscopic cholecystectomy\/ removal of gall bladder through minimal invasive procedures Providing the anesthesiologists and general surgeons give a green signal after ruling out all the contraindications for it.

Would the valve prolapse be associated with my breathing problem? Is it cause for alarm and should I go see my family doctor?\n[|AI|] Hi Dear !! Thanks for your query to Chat Doctor. Read and reviewed your query and health concerns. You seem to suffer from -HERD. The rise in the voice-increases intrathorasic pressure, which causes increased acid reflux due to similar innervation as that of pharyngo-laryngeal region by Va gal nerves. This leads to breath holding to avoid aspiration in air track. So breath holding is from HERD and not due to MVP in your case. Treat with-PPI -Prilosec(OTC) with domeperidone and treatment of causes of HERD would resolve this difficulty in the breathing. Consult with Physician and if need be ENT surgeon to treat this laryngopharyngeal breath holding caused from HERD with which to prevent mucus collection spillage in to air track, breath holding is reflex done by you.

In my opinion the symptoms you describe may be related to a possible Transient ischemic attack, which is caused by a low blood flow to the brain or a seizure, a type of Epilepsy. I don't think the injection has been the cause. Because a Transient ischemic attack can be preceded by hypertension.

Since possible infection is suspected thus examination with ENT doctor is necessary for evaluation of swollen tonsils and lymph nodes in the neck.PS.

The blood pressure should be less than 140\/90 MMH. Even the lower BP goes below 50 it's not a matter of worry, but upper one should be controlled. She should have a healthy lifestyle like avoiding fatty, oily and high calorie diet. Have low salt diet and monitor blood pressure regularly thrice a day for one week then once or twice a week.

Id get really weak and all shaky to the point where i couldn t hold myself up and i would have to sit down. It happened a couple of times but stopped and it hasnt happened to me since then until now. I m kind of scared because this time was worse than all the rest. I don t know what to do.\n[|AI|] Hi, There can be many causes of dizziness and weakness. We need to have a detailed history and examination of it. One of the most common causes is diseases associated with ear like labyrinthine (infection of the ear), vestibular neuritis (inflammation of the nerves), or BPPV (benign positional vertigo). It can also be related to diseases of the brain (infection or swelling) or heart disorders (arrhythmia-rhythm disturbances) or cervical spondylosis (neck posture-related issues). Besides this, there are simpler causes like anemia (low hemoglobin), hypoglycemia (low sugar) stress, anxiety, or lack of proper sleep. Sometimes hormonal disorders(especially thyroid-related problems) or vitamin deficiencies can also be responsible. Hence, I feel, first, focus on lifestyle modifications. Have a well-balanced diet with lots of fruits and vegetables and less tea and coffee. Maintain proper posture while working and sleeping, take good sleep for 7-8 hours. Try to find time to go for a walk or exercise and try to reduce weight. If still the symptoms persist then do go for some investigations like-complete blood count, sugar levels, electrolytes, TSH, ECG, X-ray cervical spine and MRI brain.

My doctor gave me a cream, which stops the itchinnes, but the next day is the same thing. I don t know if this could be related. Thanks\n[|AI|] Hello! Thank you for the query. The pain caused by ovary and itching in the anus are rather unrelated. However, close to the ovary there is a large intestine, and maybe this is what causes the pain. Anus itching can appear with hemorrhoids, rectal fissure or pin worms. Lower left abdominal pain can be caused by urinary tract infection (usually frequent urinating and pain while urinating appears), diverticulitis. As hemorrhoids and diverticulitis ca both appear because of constipation, it should be considered (if you have had constipation). Fresh blood in stool (on the surface of it) is characteristic for hemorrhoids. Pinworms usually give itching in the morning. I suggest you to visit your doctor and rule out mentioned conditions. Abdominal ultrasound, blood work, rectal examination should be performed. If pin worms seems probable, adhesive tape should collect larva and should be checked with microscope. Hope this will help.

A FEW MONTHS BACK I HAD STREP THAT WENT TO MY HEART AND CAUSED PALPUTATIONS COULD SOMETHING STILL BE WRONG WITH MY HEART?\n[|AI|] Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. In my opinion, we should definitely rule out arrhythmia (rhythm disturbances in heart) in your case because streptococcal infection can affect your conduction system of heart. So consult cardiologist and get done ECG, 2d echo and Holder monitoring (24 hours continuous recording of ECG). If all these are normal then no need to worry about arrhythmia or other heart diseases. Sometimes stress and anxiety can also cause similar symptoms like palpitations and winded feeling. So avoid stress and tension, be relaxed and calm. Hope I have solved your query.

I did cut back on my smoking but have not been to the doctor yet because I just can t afford it right now. Please help\n[|AI|] Hi Starlet, Thanks for writing your query. The symptoms you have mentioned are due to respiratory tract infection. Pain in chest can be due to muscle spasm due to excessive coughing. You should get yourself examined by a physician and get yourself investigated for :-1. Complete Blood Count2. Chest X-Ray (PA view)3. Sputum examination You can take antihistamines like Fenofexadine 120 mg once a day along with cough expectorant syrup to get relief from cough. Bronchodilators can be needed if there is bronchoconstriction, which can be judged after auscultating your chest.

I have not taken a pregnancy test. So I am just wondering if you think it is worth taking one or not. Thank you! LeAndra\n[|AI|] Hello dear, I understand your concern. In my opinion as you got the periods there is no chance of pregnancy. The first sign of pregnancy is missed period. Once you get the periods the pregnancy is ruled out. Usually urine pregnancy test is done a week after missed period for accurate results. So as you got the period the test is not required. Incase if you had unprotected intercourse done after the periods then there is risk of pregnancy. Then you need to wait and check for the next period. In case if it is delayed the urine pregnancy test can be done. The pain abdomen, bloating,low backache might be due to constipation. So take adequate fluids and laxatives to prevent constipation. Nothing to worry. Avoid stress. Hope this helps.

Presuming you meant the small ischemic loci is on the right cerebral hemisphere, the affected brain is not huge and prognosis is good. If his complaints are recent one and my presumption is right, then he should be able to recover easily. The medications given to him are appropriate, and he needs to continue with it religiously. In addition, the most important aspect is to start and continue effective physiotherapy with the help of an experienced physiotherapist.

The cause for nil sperms in the semen could be due to obstruction to the outlet tubes from the testis in that case its well treatable, and you can conceive once treated. Also, there is another cause where the sperm production is nil due to damage to testicular tissue itself.

I started to slowly fall of my bed and I tried to stop but it didn t work. I ended up on my head on the floor and all my weight (I weigh at least 131 pounds) on my neck and my body went over my head and then my head popped up. So it was kind of like an extremely painful back flip or somersault, off my bed. The pain right now is probably a 15 on a scale of 1-10. I went and saw Ms. Will (the school nurse at my high school) about my neck and she said that in between my vertebrae was probably swollen and to go see a doctor if it gets worse. So anyway the pain was not that bad unless I tried to look up. At the end of the school day the pain got worse and I got a bad headache. ( I don t know if that has anything to do with my neck but in case it does there you go) My symptoms are: pain (really bad severe pain), swelling (in between vertebrae most likely) and reduced flexibility. What can I do for the pain? Ibuprofen doesn t seem to help because I tried and it helped my headache but not my neck. I take strattera for my adhd and I had a concussion in 2008. I am 14 years old and I am 5 feet 1 inch. I weigh about 131 lbs.\n[|AI|] Hi, You have mentioned Severe pain in your neck region along with swelling and stiffness. All this actually points out to the pattern of Neck injury which you sustained which might have lead to all the three symptoms in your case. If you have localized Neck pain with no other symptoms like radiating leg pain, neurological symptoms like numbness, weakness, paresthesia etc., then in my opinion you can start with following recommendations for initial period of 2 weeks: - To maintain proper posture of your Neck while working and sleeping - If pain is more as it is in your case, then you can take a short course of an anti-inflammatory medication like tab Diclofenac etc. along with a muscle relaxant for 5-7 days, you can add antacid if you have issues of acidity after NSAID intake - Physical therapy like use of some modalities etc. can be initiated, but no exercises till the pain subsides completely - Ice packs can apply 3-4 times in a day - Analgesic spray for local application can be used and is easily available - Avoid lifting heavyweight\/ acute forward bending in mornings etc. We will observe you for next 2 weeks how you respond to this conservative management protocol, you can also use a soft cervical collar if movements in the neck region increase your pain, but from my side if you have no neurological symptoms, then we can follow this protocol for next 10-14 days. If you do not feel better in terms of pain, swelling and stiffness etc., then we will have to get some investigations like, dynamic x-rays of Neck and few blood tests for evaluation. Just also keep me informed on what medications you are taking because unless you take proper pain management medications, your pain won't become better. Do not hesitate to contact me if you need any further assistance. You can also discuss your case and treatment plans with me in a greater detail in a private consultation.

Vomiting continuously2. Seizures\/ Fits3. Watery of bloody discharge from ears and nose4. Unconsciousness5. Altered sensorial or behavior. Without the above red flag symptoms, just feeling low energy levels points out towards Migraine and other sorts of tension headaches which are on the rise in current scenario due to excessive academic and peer stress the kids are experiencing. I have a few questions for you -1. How long has the headache been there?2. Does it always occur on forehead or keeps changing?3. Is it associated with blurring of eyes or double vision or giddiness?4. Is there any family history of migraine or single side headache?5. Is he very angry when he gets headache and does the ache get better after a good sleep?6. Does he vomit when there is headache?

He still shows interest in going to school sicne he is very deligent in doing his homework and also ask for a study on his lesson.

Pls help how can I help on my kids recent behaviour. Do i need now to go to Pediatric Mental heath professional.\n[|AI|] DearWelcome to ChatDoctorWe understand your concerns went through your details. The problem can be categorized as behavioral psycho somatic symptom. Naturally your child is not even aware of what is happening to him. Psycho somatic symptoms are such. But, there is nothing to worry. Almost all behavior psycho somatic disorders tend to vanish within some day. In your sons case, there is something which delays the cure. You noted one of the negative approach made by the teacher. I suspect more because that one negative approach is not enough to trigger the present behavior. I suggest you to talk to the teacher again for possible aggressive behavior. Take the name of any psychologist and try to get it. Usually, behavior therapy is the treatment method. Usually we are talking about behavior modification using rewards or punishment. Conditioning is also another option. I suggest you to consult a child psychologist.

If you are taking aspirin or other blood-thinning medication, these can also contribute to frequent nosebleeds. If I were your physician, before your nosebleeds get worse or more frequent, I would have referred you to an ear, nose and throat specialist to look inside your nose for any growths or masses to find out the cause. It is my suggestion, don't worry about anything. Get your self thorough check up from a specialist. This is the first step, you have to take. He is the right person to guide you to, what to do.

My blood pressure and cholesterol have fluctuated a lot here lately, but I am not on meds. I am overweight.\n[|AI|] Hi, as mentioned by you the brief history, what I can understand is that you have swollen ankles and might be painful. After walking for two days in a row there is possibility that you may have got DOES - Delayed onset muscle soreness. Which is common in most people post any excessive physical activity. Also, you mentioned you are obeser than you need to perform physical exercise to lose the excessive accumulation and get the muscle toned. Due to excessive walking there is a soreness in the muscle fibers and are not able to make the Venus return to the optimum. Also, as you have done all of a sudden a good physical exertion there will be fluctuation in the blood pressure and cholesterol. In fact most systems will have fluctuation as it is normal. Chances for any breaking of the blood vessels is uncommon due to walks, but if you want to confirm a Doppler of the lower limbs is recommended to figure out if there are any. For swelling of the ankles you need to first keep the legs elevated and perform ankle toe movements. Also, understanding that physical exercise is recommended highly in you as you are obese. But prior to any exercise regimen a cardiac clearance will be of an advantage.regards Jay In Chat Doctor. \n"},{"Conversation":"The conversation between human and AI assistant.\n[|Human|] I have notice a circular bruise on my daughter left side just below her rib cage.

In this case, the blood getting thick day by day and causes clots at any site. Most common is lower large vein due to more stagnant condition. This clot frequently embolizes to chest and causes chest pain that is called Pulmonary embolism. With your description, you are suffering from Chronic pulmonary embolism that also causes right heart chamber enlargement and bilateral leg swelling. But you did not mention regarding breathlessness and leg swelling except chest pain on and off. Definitely this chest pain is due to microclot in pulmonary vessel. But the treatment you are taking is very ineffective. Aspirin is not enough alone to prevent the clot formation and keep the blood thin.

Since this is her first episode of C. difficile she will more than likely be on one or two additional antibiotics for 2 weeks. This may also kill of the other \"protozoan infection, so she would not need additional antibiotics. The liver lesions are more worrisome.

Ovulation generally occurs between day 10 and day 19 of the menstrual cycle, or 12 to 16 days. It is difficult for a woman to know exact date of ovulation and signs of ovulation are not experienced by many women. Here are few signs of ovulation1. During ovulation, the cervical mucus increases in volume and becomes thicker due to increased estrogen levels. It is often said that the cervical mucus resembles egg whites at a women most fertile point.2. Ovulation may also lead to a 0.4 to 1.0 degree increase in basal body temperature, but difficult to determine this rise3. Finally, ovulation predictor kits are available from Chat Doctor. Most of the women who have regular cycles ovulate, but if you think that you are going through cycles without ovulation then it's better to consult a gynecologist and she\/he may suggest you a scan.A woman said to be Infertile if she fails to become pregnant after 1 year of unprotected sexual intercourse, I suggest you to eat nutritious diet, Take Tab ova care 0-1-0 for 3 months (it contains nutrients which helps in ovulation) and observe for 3 months, if you fail to conceive it's time to consult an expert.

She does not drink milk at all except breast feeding. I am working so can feed at night. She does not go to anybody so it is very difficult to leave her with someone, she keeps crying all the time, grateful if could suggest any medicine for that, waiting for your reply.\n[|AI|] Hello there, I can see how frustrating that is. Unfortunately there is no medication to help with that. If you are wanting to switch her to cows milk, I would advise you to start feeding her a bottle or hippy cup of the milk. You can still hold her close to your chest for a similar bonding experience. Maybe halfway through, you can pass the bottle to her new babysitter but sit near, so she can see you. Now if you are wanting to continue breastfeeding, you can pump your milk and then do the same as above. Just use the bottle with the breast milk. Its more of a mind game with babies and feeding. Again, there is no medication to assist with the changeover. If you have any further questions, don't hesitate to contact us. Good luck!\n"},{"Conversation":"The conversation between human and AI assistant.\n[|Human|] Sir, I am living in Bhopal (M.P.)

But can also be because of hormonal disturbances in our body, esp if it increases 2 days prior to periods. Never use a moisturizing cream on face. Avoid using oily soaps too. Use specific anti acne soap like Accela or decade acne soap twice a day. Use radiant cream over pimples in daytime and adhering at night. This might help you a lot.Nowadays there are very good tablets available for pimples but should be taken under dermatologists' supervision only. They can be either azithromycin or isotretinoin tab. Hormonal pimples can be treated with oral contraceptive pills. They are very effective and safe. All these needs blood test before taking them.

The furthest down it goes is above right breast. Have had squamous cell cancer on base of tongue in 2004 so anything weird in that area is worrisome. My chest may be slightly tight as well or is it anxiety? Idk. These are not the symptoms I had with my cancer. Thank you. YYYY@YYYY\n[|AI|] Hi, thank you for providing the brief history of you. Since you mentioned you had cancer in the past, and I am sure it is treated well. Now as you are facing pain in the collar bone while breathing in and out right above the breast level. So understand this and make more precise the pain region is in between the collar bone and 4th intercostal space. On a safe note it is better to get the heart checked once by a cardiologist and also to take an x-ray of that area, so the superior lobe of the lung will be exposed and will be assessed further. This is just to rule out if you have any systemic pathology. Also coming to the pain, if it is muscular you can do some gradual massage in that area as the spasm of the respiratory muscles can be reduced by the same. Doing regular deep breathing exercises and costal breathing exercises will help improve the capacity of the lungs and also strengthen the muscles of the chest. You can slowly progress to the upper limb exercises which will help to add on some more strength of the pectoralis muscle. Perform some slow static neck exercises as it will also help strengthen the secondary muscles of respiration like the sternocleidomastoid and scale nous group. Since you had a pathology of squamous cell in the past the weakness of the accessory muscles of respiration is a chance. Doing breathing exercise will help improve the strength and reduce the pain. Also to add on, that breathing exercises will even help the cellular physiological to the optimal as the cellular mechanism needs improvement to avoid any further occurrence of the squamous cell.

As you already have DVT in your left leg, undergoing a spinal surgery may aggravate or worsen the DVT and even there are chances that you may develop pulmonary embolism.

My blood pressure was high for one week and I took pills to control that. But suddenly it dropped and got normal and I am in normal condition now. what did happened to me the range of my blood pressure was 170\/10 and now is 120\/80 (without any medications). But it was a bad condition of pollution in our country and also i was taking azithromicine Cap because of my Sinusitis. Would you please help me and my question is what will be happen in the future for me?\n[|AI|] Hello, Thanks for writing to Chat Doctor, I am Chat Doctor. One reading of 170\/110 does not make you a hypertensive it might have been anybody or mental stress or some high salt intake which could have caused this problem. But yes this reading does tell us that you are prone to get high blood pressure in future if care is not taken. Here is what I would like to suggest you as further plan of action after what has happened.1) Make some lifestyle changes.2) Keep a check at your salt intake, salt is the biggest determinant of blood pressure.3) Along with salt also take care of your fat intake.4) Stay physically active.5) Reduce your weight if you need to.6) Keep monitoring your blood pressure twice a day. If you consistently get readings above 150\/90 then contact your doctor otherwise no problem should be there. For a single high reading you do not have to panic just take care and follow my instructions. I hope this answered your question, If you have more queries I am happy to answer you.

I am not sure what to do I can not touch my head the size is bigger than half of dollar\n[|AI|] Hi, thank you for the brief history of you. As you said you had a fall and also some knots over your scalp. You should see if you have any redness of the eye, bleeding from the nose or ear etc. Also, as you have a direct impact on the scalp I will advise to meet a physician on a safer note for him to examine you. Also you can take an MRI to see if any internal bleeding is there at a later stage if you have any abnormal symptoms. Swelling is a normal physiological process, and it subsided in 48-72 hours or may be a little longer depending upon the age and other factors. As you said apart from this you don't have any symptom than you can wait for a while do some icing and things should be fine. If you find any abnormal symptoms you can visit the ER on a safer side.

Sometimes when I take a shower I get a dizzy feeling after maybe 6-8 minutes of showering. I also have shortness of breath and my hands shake. I feel absolute miserable while this is happening and today I had to hurry up and finish for fear that I might faint. What is happening to me?\n[|AI|] Hello. I have been through your question and understand your concern. Sometimes, while taking a hot bath, especially after a meal, you can have blood sequestration in the skin due to the high temperature of the bath and in the stomach if you are taking the bath after the meal. This causes less blood going in your brain causing the symptoms described. There is nothing to worry about, because it is quite common. Just be sure you take the bath three to four hours after the meal and take the bath at a lower temperature. You will see it will not happen again.

Do you have any other medical problems ? Any issues with testicles or hormones.? I presume that there must have been a reason for low testosterone and hence you were prescribed. NOW, clomifene can increase a pituitary hormone called LH which indirectly can stimulate testis to produce more testosterone if your LH was low previously. There should have been a low response from your pituitary gland and clonidine would have stimulated it. This possibility can be confirmed by testing your testosterone. Hope you are convinced.

Yes it is fine to take acidophilus and another probiotic at the same. Acidophilus is just one of the normal gut bacteria that is considered to be a probiotic. Taking multiple forms of probiotic may help relieve your symptoms. Make sure that your general probiotics does not already contain acidophilus because although it will not harm you to take double doses of it, you may be wasting your money if you are taking acidophilus in two different forms.

Please suggest me what can i do....? Expecting a favourable reply from you....\n[|AI|] Hi I understand your concern. From your history it appears that your problem is mainly decrease sperm count, but you did not mention what is the exact number. For treatment part clone tablet has to be taken for 3 months for better results ....you can add on tab Oligocene once a day for your treatment. If you want to go for sperm count analysis after one month also you can go for it, but better results can be visualized after 3 months. As per other methods are concerned you can go for GUI with donor sperms, but that is usually advices in cases of absent sperm or zero sperm count. Your case is not so. I think you have to be patient and give time to both of you ...this treatment will certainly help. As per the direct contact is concerned you can always ask for phone or direct consultation through website where you have posted the query .they can always redirect to me.

Metal P contains metonymic acid and is effective in reducing fever. Viral fevers are very common and could be transmitted to your daughter. Give her metal P or paracetamol syrup to reduce the fever. You may give sponging with water at room temperature.

You have had several attacks in a short period. In this situation the treatment should be one step up. It means aerosols with corticosteroids + long acting bronchodilators, corticosteroids orally for a maximum of two weeks and after that to switch in Sere tide again twice per day and Ventolin for the urgency. If you have allergic asthma you can try montelukast for approximately 2 months, but please consult with your doctor for the treatment.

When she said this she was talking with reference to birth control pills containing both estrogen and progesterone.The PILL contains progesterone only.

Thank you for asking on Chat Doctor! I understand your concern, and would advise to rule out any possible triggering factors for fast heart beating, like anemia, thyroid gland dysfunction, other organ dysfunctions, etc. I recommend performing a medical check up with a careful physical examination, coupled with some blood tests (complete blood count, thyroid hormone levels, chest X-ray study, liver and renal function tests, etc.). If any suspicions for abnormally high heart rate is raised by the above examination, then an ambulatory ECG monitoring would be advisable. If everything result OK by the above tests, and only normal sinus tachycardia is present, then an investigation towards diagnosis of anxiety should be sought. Hope to have been helpful to you.

Her lipase level was 900. She admits to drinking at least 6 beers every night. She has also had stomach ulcers in the past. The Dr in the hospital told her she needed to quit drinking as the high lipase levels were likely a result of excessive drinking. Yesterday, her primary care Dr took blood tests again and said that all levels are normal but did not specifically mention lipase. He thinks its her ulcer returning. How do we tell whether its pancriititis or an ulcer. She of course thinks its an ulcer. Im concerned about her drinking.\n[|AI|] Hi ! Good morning. I am Chat Doctor answering your query. One fact is sure which you should specifically counsel your friend is to leave alcohol totally, as irrespective of whether it is pancreatitis or a gastric ulcer, alcohol is detrimental and the cause of both these conditions. The pain could have been due to pancreatitis de Nova or the gastric ulcer penetrating the posterior wall of the stomach to make the pancreas inflamed resulting in pancreatitis. In both the cases the serum amylase, and lipase could be increased along with alcoholism. However, high levels like a lipase of 900 points more towards a pancreatitis. If I were your doctor, after her condition is stabilized in the hospital, I would refer her to a gastroenterologist for a possible endoscopic evaluation of her old gastric ulcer. And I would also ask her for an absolute NO to alcohol to prevent further damage to the pancreas which sometimes results in very poor prognosis. She should continue with her treatment advised by the doctors of the hospital. 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.

However, there are additional reasons for having an elevated PSA level, and some men who have prostate cancer do not have elevated PSA. It can be elevated in conditions like infection of the prostate. Repeating the test is necessary for your husband.

Your symptoms like lethargy, muscle pain and weakness are mostly due to low sodium (hyponatremia) and low potassium (hypokalemia). So better to get done sodium and potassium level.

When it happened last fall I reduced my running and did some excerises but not enough\n[|AI|] Respected sir, I have understood your concern see recurrent injury to shoulder joint may decrease stability of joint already shoulder joint is less stable joint and muscle weakness also contribute to pain in shoulder joint. See recurrent injury is due to less stability and laxity of capsule and ligaments around the joint. You can take 15\u00a0day physical therapy treatment which includes ultrasound and IT modalities for pain relief. Gradually starting with pendulum exercises and don't stretch the joint. You need to strengthen the scapular muscles which are back muscles so physical therapists will help you to do that.

Unfortunately hepatitis B cannot be treated with anything else besides medications. The rest of hepatitis B indices are important for the diagnosis (acute versus chronic hepatitis) and the liver function tests may provide additional information. Antics, Antiphon IGM & Egg, Head and Antique are useful tests to assess a patients' hepatitis B status. ALT, AST, ALP, gamma-GT, albumin and total protein and serum immunoglobulins are also important tests in hepatitis. Finally, depending on the results of the aforementioned tests, an HAVANA measurement may help in treatment decisions. You should consult your primary care physician for the first assessment.

Can doctors tell very quickly if testes are so small that need testng\n[|AI|] Hittites size varies among individuals. It is not the size but whether it functions properly or not that matters. The testis produces sperms as well as hormones. Hormone function is tested by blood tests and sperm function by semen analysis. Asking your son to get these tests done might be too traumatic mentally for him if he has not got any symptoms.Hence, I would not advise you these tests now.

There might be chances of nerve entrapment and needs an attention. Since the pain is in sharp shooting in nature we need to work on it. Seeing an orthopedist and an X-ray or MRI Will be of good choice to come closer to conclusion. Rest you may be asked to undergo physical therapy for few days for some exercise program post which you can continue at home. In my practice I have seen many who comes with fresChatDoctorplaints, but they are too connected with the past medical history. Rest assured, you should do well with physical therapy.

Is it safe to have 200 mg fluvoxamine per day ?Hi, at the age of 23 I was having Fluoxamine per day 175mg to 200mg ( morning 1.5 (75mg), afternoon - 0 and night 2 ( 100mg) ) for Depression, OCD, ADD and social anxiety. In this dosage i was feeling very well and happy. Along with that i was also having Alzolam 0.25 mg per day. I was continuing this for 5 years. In between i sometimes stop medication completely and whenever i feel discomfort i restart the medication. Later on i switched to Venlafaxine and then to Sertraline thinking that it could give me much better benefits however it didnt work that well with me. I dont know whether it is because of lower dosage of what i am having. Currently i am having sertraline 25mg per day however it gives me side effects like on interest in sex, feeling sleepy, etc. Around 9 months back i was having Crestor 10mg per day for cholesterol but now i have stopped it.Now i want to switch again to Fluvoxamine as i think this was working well with me than any other medicine but in a higher dosage.

First & foremost I would strongly urge you to NOT change\/switch any medication on your own & what ever are your issues with current set of medications should be discussed & dealt with only under supervision of a qualified medical doctor preferably a Psychiatrist.

Good evening. I am Chat Doctor answering your query. If I were your doctor I would have gone for an ultrasound and an MRI if needed t see in which plane exactly the swelling is located. The most likely diagnosis would be a femoral hernia, or an inguinal lymphadenitis or a simple sebaceous cyst.

It felt like someone was twisting my insides last night I was sweating and nauseous and could not stop the pain with ibuprofen or heat and the pain just got worse at some point I must have passed out and awoke later drenched in sweat with the pain even more intense abdomen and leg so i got up and I noticed the bleeding had became worse and found a blood clot around the size of piece of liver the pain gradually disappeared but I feel like I have been kicked by a horse from the inside out and I still have some pain in my leg.

Prolonged use of estrogen or progesterone can result in several side effects including circulation disturbances like thrombosis of limb vessels and embolisms.

Unless the kid is having breathlessness or fast breathing or abdominal distension or swelling of feet and easy navigability you need not worry.2.

My stones are nonobstucting but why do they cause so much pain? I have had reocurring kidney stones since i was 13. Its been 21 years that i have dealt with this on and off. But lately I have been dealing with the pain for two months now. What can i do? How can i manage the pain?\n[|AI|] Hi lakhi2013. Thanks for your question. Feeling bad for your situation. MOST OF THE KIDNEY STONE OR URETERIC STONE CAUSES PAIN DUE TO IRRITATION OF NERVE NOT SIMPLY DUE TO OBSTRUCTION. Though your stone is non obstructing, but it causes pain, so you should visit an neurosurgeon and if he opines then you should go for operation to remove the stone and in the meantime you can take some antispasmodics like dicyclomine to reduce the pain and plenty of water if by chance the stone will pass out. But you remember up to 6 mm there is high chance of the stone to pass out but in your cases it is unlikely, so you have to go for operation.

It keep me up at night. I could put my head on a pillow. After the meds, I went back to my general doctor. He told me I was getting better. But that night the pain was terrible. I called him the next day and told him something was wrong. He ordered a CT scan and found that I had a sinus infection in the frontal sinus and ethmoid (spelling) sinus. Since I am allergic to pennicillin, they put me on Cipro but later switched me to Biaxin. It has been slowly getting better, but I still have a dull ache around my head and nerviouness. It wakes me up a couple hours after I fall asleep. Could the CT scan have missed something or (since Ive never had a sinus infection before) is this part of the sinus infection?\n[|AI|] HI, thanks for using Chat Doctor The dullness implies that the sinuses are still congested somewhat. In addition to the antibiotics, you would need to consider a decongestant and antihistamine. A topical and oral decongestant may help.

I can understand your husbands situation and problem. One should not start radiotherapy only on the basis of CT scan report. You need to have diagnosis of malignancy before starting radiotherapy. Since he is smoker, possibility of malignancy is high for this nodule. But we need to have tissue diagnosis first. Biopsy is not the only tool to detect malignancy. Rather for detection of early malignant lung nodule, go for bronchoscopy and BAD (bronchoalveolar lavage) analysis to detect malignant cells. You can go for PET scan also.

In my opinion you are having HERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease) mostly. But since you have left sided chest pain, better to rule out cardiac cause first. So get done ECG. If ECG is normal then no need to worry much for cardiac cause. Breast related cause is also less likely as you are not having breast lump. You are having mostly HERD. It is due to laxity of gastroesophageal sphincter. Because of this the acid of the stomach tends to come up in the esophagus and cause the symptoms of heart burn. So better to follow these steps for symptomatic relief. 1. Avoid hot and spicy food. 2. Avoid stress and tension. 3. Avoid large meals, instead take frequent small meals. 4. Start Proton pump inhibitors. 5. Go for walk after meals. 6.

Could it be serious? are there side effects or signs when bone is healing ??\n[|AI|] Hi, thank you for providing the brief history of you. A thorough neuromuscular assessment is advised. As mentioned in history about the tingling sensation, it is very uncommon until the cast is applied too tight. If the cast is applied too tight then the nerve is getting compressed and the symptoms of tingling is arose which needs an attention. In case if the cast is not tight, I will advise to undergo an MRI of the lumbar spine as, any soft tissue injury in that area will lead to pinching of nerve root and produce symptoms. Also, a vascular assessment is needed to cross confirm is any DVT is present for which a Doppler is advised. As, until a thorough neuromuscular assessment is performed the diagnostic tests are an optional. Based on the assessment the diagnostic tests will be planned.

One thing I would like to know is that pain is unilateral or in both the sides of jaw (bilateral)? It is better to get an MRI done for that side so that the tissues are thoroughly examined. The pain could be neurogenic. Therefore, get MRI done and meet an oral and maxillofacial surgeon in this regard. Hope it helps. Thanks. Take care.\n"},{"Conversation":"The conversation between human and AI assistant.\n[|Human|] I am 43 years old and have classic gallbladder pains and symptoms, HOWEVER, I had and ultra sound and Ct scan and they are negative.My blood alt and ast and lipase are elevated.I have pain in my upper right abdomen and need to know what my next step is. can you help or suggest what I should do?\n[|AI|] HI.

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. Paracetamol can be given only if fever is more than 100 F. I suggest not using combination medicines for fever, especially with Paracetamol.

I do not think that this is food allergy. Your pediatrician was right. The most common cause is constipation, which you have already treated.

Recently, I lost my health care and couldn t get metformin anymore, but then I also started a diet (it s not low carb or calorie deprivation-I eat @ 1300-1400 a day in 3 hr intervals) and have lost 25 lbs so far. I m still overweight, but I ve felt my sugar has been under control enough that, even though I have a few pills left, I haven t had to use any. Anyway, I ate my normal meals today, and right after eating dinner (fish & asparagus), I felt very faint and confused. I checked my sugar and it was 86. Is this normal? I haven t had any sugar symptoms since starting dieting except the other day, I felt like my sugar was high, so I took half a pill. First time in months. Could this half a pill have affected me that much? Is there anything else that would cause a low reading like that right after eating?\n[|AI|] Hi, After going through your case details, I want to know-1) Your Age.2) Your Height and weight (It is very encouraging that you have lost significant weight with diet and exercise) to evaluate degree of overweight.3) Family history of obesity, diabetes.4) Current medicines other than metformin if any.5) Any associated high blood pressure or cholesterol problem. I would like to advise you - 1) Continue Low calorie diet and regular exercise.2) Better to avoid discontinuation or taking medicine on the basis of your own interpretation or symptoms.3) Quarterly check your HbA1c level that give much better idea regarding your diabetes control. Also check Blood sugar level Fasting and postprandial once in a month or two months.4) If it is feasible for you to do Self monitoring of blood sugar level (BSL done by glucometer at different times of the day (Fasting, 2 hours after breakfast, before lunch, 2 hours after lunch, before dinner, 2 hours after dinner, early morning sugar 3am) all sugar not daily but whole profile in a week at least once in a month.

Metformin is weight neutral (may help in decreasing weight) and rarely causes hypoglycemia. 8) Depending upon your BSL control and HbA1c level other antidiabetic medicines that are either weight neutral or help in reducing weight can be added. Hypoglycemic blood sugar level in diabetic patient is depended on duration of diabetes, control of diabetes, associated complications. At blood sugar level of 86 you have symptoms of low blood sugar level, so it can be hypoglycemia for you.Also, there are rare chances of developing hypoglycemia after taking metformin alone.\n"},{"Conversation":"The conversation between human and AI assistant.\n[|Human|] I have already been diagnosed with vertigo and presently on 100mg of neurotin.
