The conversation between human and AI assistant. [|Human|] my mom is an alcoholic and diebetic and used to drink really heavily for years. SHe went to treatment several years ago and got healthy. Well now she has started drinking again. She has had 3 or 4 episodes of random swelling of her lips neck or tounge, what does that mean? should i be worried? is that a sign of liver diease? [|AI|] HiT hanks for writing to Chat Doctor Usually swelling of lips, tongue and neck and seen in allergic conditions (angio-oedema). In liver disease there could be parotid gland (salivary gland) swelling. The swelling if occurs as a part of whole body edema then it could be due to liver disease with hypoproteinemia and fluid retention. Anyway get checked with a gastroenterologist. It is better to avoid alcohol as this would further damage the physical, mental and social health. Get LFT (liver function tests) Longshanks and regards

The conversation between human and AI assistant. [|Human|] hey so i have afew things going on and im wondering if they are connected, i get this insane pain in my left breast sometimes and it feela like it starts in my nipple amd spreads out around the entire breast and then i feel sharpe pain in my ribs below, i also get weird splotches that come amd go uner my right breast but ive noticed they get bigger and more red when i drink , what could this mean? it literally could be nothing but its been going on for a bit longer than a year now [|AI|] Hello, I have studied your case and I think that it can be either any inflammation in the breast or chest which can cause such problems. I would recommend you to get an ultrasound examination of the chest and also a chest x-ray. I would also suggest you to see a physician. If there is any nodule in the breast then it can cause such inflammation and pain. I hope this answer will be useful for you. Let me know if there is any other followup questions. Thanks

I tried and failed in controlling myself.. Please help and guide me to relieve from this problem... Because of this i cant able to concentrate in anything esp. In my career.:) Thanks and am waiting for your reply.:-) [|AI|] HIT hanks for using Chat Doctor I think, you may have repetitive sexual thoughts, and it is towards obsessive compulsive disorder. In that case, you need antidepressant that could help to control these thoughts. You can also try some relaxation exercise like JPMR or deep breathing that could help to anxiety due to these thoughts. Better to consult a psychiatrist for proper diagnosis and management. In case, you need further help, you can ask. Thanks

Kindly advice me in this regard. Mukunth Kumar [|AI|] Hello Month Kumar, Welcome to Chat Doctor, and thanks for your query. I understand your concern and problem. You have hepatitis; an inflammation of the liver. There are several possible reasons for hepatitis. One and the most likely is alcohol. Viral infections, certain medicines are other common causes. Does the SIDA medicine that you took for hemorrhoids contain any heavy metal powders or extracts? You should avoid alcohol now and also fat containing food if you have difficulty in tolerating them. Was the diagnosis of Typhoid based on blood culture? The method to diagnose typhoid in the first week of illness, is identifying the organism in a blood culture. Wish you a quick recovery! If you have further queries, I am available on the web Chat Doctor.

The conversation between human and AI assistant. [|Human|] HI, Im 24 years old and had my 4 wisdom teeth removed Monday, july 8th, so this is now my 3rd day after surgery, and I am experiencing more pain around one area than the others. When I swallow I get pain/sting where my lower left wisdom tooth was, and there is also a little flap of skin that looks like its on or next to my second molar. Could this be dry socket? its not unbearable pain but it is very uncomfortable, especially in that one spot. Besides that, I just have very bad swelling. thanks. [|AI|] Hello friend, thank you for sharing your concern. As per your clinical presentation and your symptoms you can rest assure that it's not Chat Doctor. As you have extracted your wisdom teeth it sometimes needs a bit of invasive method to pull them out depending on their angulated position and how deep inside the bone is the impacted tooth present. Saying that there are few other reasons that includes there can be a root stump left; this can be confirmed by an intro oral radiograph...it can also happen during the procedure your mandibular nerve was hurt; well it can only stand true when all other reason for your pain is eliminated, now cure for nerve injury totally depends on the degree of the injury, as per your case if this reason holds correct then it will take 3-5 months to recover completely. To overcome the pain have an analgesic for 3 days and if it doesn't subside then visit to your treated dentist and do the radiograph. Get well soon

The conversation between human and AI assistant. [|Human|] I have an inch-sized cut on the back of my hand (right over the knuckle below the ring finger). While I can ball up my hand into a fist slowly with minimal pain, I cant seem to fully extend my ring finger. Its like its just lazily laying there. Is there anything I can do at home?

I would also like to know how is your mood most of the time, your energy levels (rate both out of 10); do you enjoy routine pleasurable activities, how is your sleep & appetite?? Too many times, headache, fatigue, difficult to control anger which are of recent onset (over a few days-months) are in fact manifestations of depression. Hence, you should consult a Psychiatrist or revert to me for detailed evaluation.

The conversation between human and AI assistant. [|Human|] Hi im 22 we have two daughters who r 4 and 2 and want another baby but are struggling to concieve after coming off the depo injection in june was on it for nine months how long will the injection take to come out my body so we can concieve also cant find my most fertile time because i nleed on n off throughout every month please help [|AI|] Hi, I think it takes around 6 months to 1 year to get your ovaries back to normal after stopping demo injection. So, I think you can take some medicines like camphene for the growth of your follicles and track your follicles' growth by repeated ultrasound. When follicles reach a size more than 17 to 18 mm, take injection for rupturing the follicles. Be in contact with your husband for next 2 weeks. Do a urine pregnancy test at home after that. You can try like that for 3 to 6 months. Hope I have answered your question. Regards Chat Doctor.

The conversation between human and AI assistant. [|Human|] I am having a chest pain in mid of the upper chest since 3 days due to smoking, also the amount of cough is higher , each and everytime i spit ,i spit cough on it. Can u suggest me some solution , of some medical test and all to be assured that everything is normal. Also, please suggest me a remedy to improve my immunity. [|AI|] Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. In my opinion you are having bronchitis and chest infection. As chances of both are high when patient is smoker. So better to get done 1. Chest x ray2. Pulmonary Function Test (PFT). This will help you in diagnosis of bronchitis and also to rule out infection. Treatment of bronchitis is antibiotics and inhaled bronchodilators. But first and foremost you need to quit smoking. About improving immunity, you should go for pulmonary vaccines like pneumococcal and h.influenza for prevention of lung infection. And quitting smoking will also boost your immunity.

The conversation between human and AI assistant. [|Human|] hello Doctor, I am a 22 year old man with no previous medical issues in regards to my testicles. however at the moment I am a little worries about the tails of both my right and left epididymis. after ejaculation they both become hard and a little swollen. My ejaculations have always been consistent and full with no pain. In addition I have no pain urinating or in general in regards to my testicles and penis. any idea what the issue could be? sometimes when I feel my testicles everything feels fine, the tails of my epididymis both feel fine- soft squishy and relatively small. however, during or post ejaculation they feel hard and swollen. In addition they feel swollen sometimes just out of the blue Thanks for your reply I m just very curious as to what can be going on down there [|AI|] HelloThanks for query. During sex and ejaculation there is increased blood flow to all genital organs including testicles and epididymis. This increased blood flow results in congestion of genitals organs. The hardness of epididymis that you have observed is due to congestion of epididymis and testicles which gradually gets resolved over a period of few hours. It should be considered as normal physiological process. There is nothing to be worried about it. Chat Doctor.

The conversation between human and AI assistant. [|Human|] I have a microadenoma pituitary tumour. My last MRI noted it was smaller than the previous 6 months. My neurologist is very concerned that I am taking Hormone Replacement Therapy. I am 70 years old, feel wonderful except when I go off my hormones (Last time was 6 months of hell). Any suggestions? [|AI|] Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. If you have pituitary fibroadenoma then no surgery is required. Just hormone therapy is adequate.

The conversation between human and AI assistant. [|Human|] hi my sister had a lump on her left butt cheeks couple years ago and took it for nothing,now it feel like its growing and its painful.doctor doesnt know what it is untill the cut it. have you any experience with that.what can it be? am scare for my sister [|AI|] Hello! Thank you for the query.First do not be scared. From your description the lump is benign soft tissues lesion. The pain indicates some inflammation. If the lump is close to the butt crack, most probable reason if this lump is colonial cyst. This condition is caused by ingrown hair which irritates the tissues and leads to inflammation. If it's located in other part of butt, hair follicle inflammation or sebaceous cyst can be the case. The best she can do is to consult general surgeon. In case of any doubts, soft tissues' ultrasound can be done. Hope this will help. Regards.

The conversation between human and AI assistant. [|Human|] A friend of mine was diagnosed with secondary bone cancer nearly 3 years ago. she had a grade 3 tumour removed from her breast. Her bones seem to be getting worse, she is in hospital at the moment having had a hip replacement op due to the cancer. she is also having radiotherapy at the moment for spots on her brain. we have been so worried for the last 3 years and still dont know really whats ahead - we would like some honest answers so we can prepare [|AI|] Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. She has breast cancer grade 3 with multiple bone metastasis. Tobit is stage 4 cancer. It is last stage of disease. She also has brain metastasis. So only treatment options are chemotherapy and radiotherapy as well as symptomatic treatment. No treatment will cure the disease. Despite any treatment prognosis remains poor. Life expectancy is not good. Sorry to say but it is fact. So you should plan accordingly. In my opinion no treatment should be given. Only asymptomatic treatment is given. You should consult your oncologist and plan accordingly. Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Wish you a very good health.

Recently i consulted her and she has given me Ovacare forte with APCOD. I keep on putting weight though i go for walking (not ver regular) but have food control. Is there any chance of me concieving? Am worried [|AI|] Hi, thanks for using Chat Doctor It is possible to conceive with PCs, it is just more difficult, but with the technology and procedures that exist today, conception is definitely possible. You are right in trying to lose weight, this would increase the chances of conception. It is easier to lose weight by modifying your diet because usually by altering a few things that are use calories can be reduced by 500 calories. It would take a lot of exercise to achieve this same amount of calorie deficit. Exercise is important in general fitness and keeping weight off.

In the low-carb route you would:Increase the amount of low-carb fruits and/or vegetables that you use with your main meals and at the same time reduce the amount of carboy

My G.U. wants to do surgery in a month is there any thing I can do, while I am waiting. [|AI|] Hello. High Food pressure can be house of bleeding from nose. You are probably using Aspirin or some other pills against blood clots. Concerning your problems about Foley catheter, if there is puss inside and itching, you have to visit your doctor and remove that catheter. After that the doctor will insert new catheter and give you antibiotics for urinary infection.Also, you should do lab tests to see the extent of infection. All the best.

[|AI|] Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. No, this is not normal because this pain is for 7 months. Better to get done chest x-ray to rule out internal pathology for such pain. If chest x-ray is normal then get done calcium and vitamin D 3 levels because deficiency of these can also cause similar kind of pain. You may need supplements for faster recovery. Avoid movements causing pain. Apply warm water pad on affected areas of chest. Take simple painkiller like paracetamol or ibuprofen. Don't worry, you will be alright with all these. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.

The conversation between human and AI assistant. [|Human|] I have heart issues. Previously I had a quadruple heart bypass (2003) and a open heart aortic valve replacement (2015). I just was weaned off Warfarin, and my doctor just prescribed Clopidogrel. The doctor has me take some aspirin every day (even when I was on warfarin). I was just reading the article on this website about Clopidogrel and it states that the Prilosec that I have been taking daily for 15 years might be a problem with this medication. (If I forget to take it one day, I get horrible heart burn) What do you think???? [|AI|] Hello, Firstly, why were you weaned off of Warfarin, was it a bioprosthetic aortic valve? And what was a need to change from aspirin. Yes, sometimes Prilosec decreases the efficacy of Clopidogrel in some patients. This is not universal. You can have Sanitizing 150 mg twice a day instead of Prilosec, which doesn't have this problem. If there is no compelling need it better to continue aspirin. Hope this helps you and get back if you have any doubts. Take Care

The conversation between human and AI assistant. [|Human|] Thank You ! My question is what medications are best for treating Bi-Polar 2? I have been prescribed Lithium,Seroquel,Reperadol and have experienced bad side effects like diarrhea, bad stomach pains and these meds make my feel like I am floating though cream of mushroom soup. Lorazepam seems to work pretty well without all the side effects although it is not much help with with depression or mood swings it is good for a short term fix and it does help me to eat, I have also tried Clonzepam this seems stronger than Lorazepam and just makes go to sleep, my doctor seems hesitant to prescribe Lorazepam. What is your advise? Also I have been diagnosed with Anorexia Nervosa .Thank You for you time. [|AI|] ! I have read your question carefully and from that it appears that you have bipod disorder, have been on several medicines for that, but had one or other side effect and prefer lorazepam. Your doctor does not agree to give you much of lorazepam, and you have asked what should you go for? From my clinical experience I can say that your doctor is right in hesitating in giving you lorazepam or may be clonazepam, because-1. They are just symptomatic managers and will not help in taking care of the disorder 2. Both have good addiction potential 3. If taken for long time irrelevantly, can lead to multiple body problems, like liver disorders4. They just relieve anxiety or help sleep, nothing more, I can understand that you have had varied side effect with bipolar medicines, but there are still good choices yet to be tried and one has to try out Chat Doctor. It is seen many times that the psychiatrist have to change the main

The conversation between human and AI assistant. [|Human|] I have a rash on my face I noticed a few days ago. My skin is red and blotchy with what looks like tiny white heads all over the area. I have been using my typical acne treatments and I have popped some of the tiny white heads. They look like mini clogged pores and against the sides of my nose, mouth, chin and against my jawline. Last break out like this was 10-11 months ago and i noted this was triggered from a water enhancer I was using. Is this an allergy to a type of food dye? [|AI|] Hi, Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Since your symptoms are recurring after 11 months there may be chance of allergy, but your description on the lesions suggests more of acne. Redness may be due to infection. Don't pop anything, wash regularly with cool water for 5-7 times a day, use oil remover soap, don't rub your towel on face just press it to absorb water, can start topical antibiotic to prevent infection and anti acne ointment. Consult your doctor for examination and management. Hope I answered your question. Feel free to ask me if you have any further queries. Wish you good health. Take care. Regards

The conversation between human and AI assistant. [|Human|] I have been having left upper teeth pain for three months or more. I had a root canal but pain didn t go away. So I had it pulled. Imstill have pain and can see root exposure and a tiny hole beside upper left canine that I think exposes a nerve because I get shooting pain there. My dentist doesn t see anything in X-rays. I m on medicine but it doesn t help the pain. [|AI|] Hello and thank you for your question. I think you should go into another dentist for a second opinion about your symptoms. It sounds like another tooth is in need of a root canal or restorative therapy due to the pain not being alleviated by the extraction of your tooth. Not all cavities are seen on radiographs and can be found intraorally upon inspection. Please find someone in your area and have it looked at. You may also have sensitivity due to root exposure and should use Sensory to see if it removes the pain. Best wishes

The conversation between human and AI assistant. [|Human|] Hi, I am a 35 year old women. Have had total abdomal hysterectomy and cholecystectomy. I am having sharp sudden pain right above and around my navel. Also it radiates straight down to my pelvis with pelvic pain. Also pain during urination. Please help. Thank you. [|AI|] Hi, Thanks for your question. After going through your question, I can understand your concern. The pain is most likely related to urinary system. Most likely a right ureteric calculus (stone in tube connecting kidney to urinary bladder). But other causes like pain of colitis should be considered. You should consult your doctor for detailed clinical examination. Depending upon it following investigations help in making appropriate diagnosis. - Complete Blood Count. - Urine examination.- Ultrasonography of abdomen and pelvis. - X-ray abdomen in standing position. Depending upon clinical examination and above test results further evaluation can be planned. Till that time use some painkiller with antispasmodic like diclofenac and Tuscan. Hope this helps you, if so do vote as helpful.

The conversation between human and AI assistant. [|Human|] Hi I fell heavily on my knee just under the kneecap area. It hurt like hell but after a few minutes of rubbing I could bend & stand up. The area was numb & still is 4 hrs later. If I press on the area it feels like a massive sting. I have had an operation which involved micro-fractures approx 4yrs ago. Do you think I need any medical help? [|AI|] Dear sir/ madam based on your description I would examine your knee for local bony tenderness. Most likely it could besot tissue injury to knee for which I would recommend rest, immobilization in a knee immobilizer, some analgesics, ice fomentation for 1 week. Then when the pain and swelling subsides examine your knee ligaments and then decide on further management. Numbness might be due to direct injury to cutaneous nerves or edema in that area, so after giving rest for 1 week further examination is recommended.

The conversation between human and AI assistant. [|Human|] I have been sick with bronchitis and sinus infection for about 3 weeks. On my second set of antibiotics and now taking prednisone. I do have asthma. Went back to my allergy asthma specialist yesterday, and they sent me for a chest x-ray. They called me with the results today saying it looked normal except for some calcification in the lungs. Kind of worried. I was a smoker. Quite in 2006. [|AI|] Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. Calcification in the lung suggest healed lesion. Calcification on chest x-ray can be seen in1 old TB2. Old pneumonia. 3. pulmonary contusions etc. In lung tissue once TB or pneumonia or anything occurs, tissue reacts against it and produce healing. This healing can be seen as either fibrosis or as calcification. And this remains throughout the life. So no need to worry about this calcification. It denotes old inactive disease.

The conversation between human and AI assistant. [|Human|] I have what I have had several time in the past. It need relief although the dentist said there was little to do about it. I get terrible pain in my mouth that roams from one part to the other. Nothing wrong can be seen by dentists after exams. Cannot take Advil. [|AI|] Hello, As per your query, you have symptoms of severe pain in the mouth which seems to be due to TMJ dysfunction and locking of the jaw in a particular position. It could be an infection in multiple teeth in different qua Chat Doctor. Need not worry. I would suggest you rest properly and don't bend frequently forward. You should take light food and avoid hard food from that side. Take Tramadol for pain removal. Take ice creams and suck on ice pops. Visit the dentist once and take the combination of Ibuprofen and Diclofenac medicines. Maintain oral hygiene by brushing and flossing. Do warm saline and Betadine gargles. Try to relax jaws and consult ENT specialist as well once. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

The conversation between human and AI assistant. [|Human|] I had a crown put in three years ago. I had not noticed any pain or problem with it, yet the dentist says he needs to replace it because there is decay under it. Is this unusual? I thought crowns were permanent. Should I get a second opinion, and how do I go about doing that?? [|AI|] Hi. Welcome to Chat Doctor . I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns. As per your complaint it is possible that if the margins of the crown is not intact and there is a gap between crown and tooth, water and food debris along with bacteria can seep into the tooth and leads to secondary Infection. In this case if the decay has not reached the nerves present in the center of tooth then you may not have pain, but the tooth can continue to decay. If this is the case you will have to get the crown removal, get the tooth filled or Root Canal treatment has to be done followed by replacing the crown. You can take a second opinion if you wish as well as you can send me a scan of the x Ray of the crowned tooth so that I can guide you how you should proceed for treatments. In case if tooth is decayed then the treatment advised to you is appropriate. Hope this information helps. Thanks and regards. Chat Doctor.

The conversation between human and AI assistant. [|Human|] my child (12 years old) has a kidney stone, is very fatigued and also today got a bloody nose out of the blue. He is active normally and plays sports and in the neighborhood. He has been real fatigued the last couple weeks along with finding the stone after a CT that was looking for stones. [|AI|] Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. He may have kidney stones. It generally causes kidney pain. Fatigue is very uncommon with kidney stones. He should go for complete blood count and peripheral smear examination to check for anemia. Fatigue can be caused by low hemoglobin. Moreover, his platelet count should also be checked.

The conversation between human and AI assistant. [|Human|] I have a small pea size lump in my tongue that is moveable, hurts when I press on it and has been there for a few days. Prior to the finding my tongue was sore in that area but no bump. My central tooth had chipped and I thought it was causing the tongue discomfort. [|AI|] Hi ! Good morning. I am Chat Doctor answering your query. Even though it is difficult to ascertain the nature of the lump without a physical examination of the lesion, from your description, it seems that it is a benign lesion possibly due to an unnoticed chronic irritation by the chipped teeth causing a papilloma (excess growth of the soft tissue). I would advise you to take appointment with a dentist and a general surgeon together who can opine on the cause and further management by a physical examination and related investigations like a possible biopsy of the lesion. I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts. Thanks for choosing Chat Doctor to clear doubts on your health problems. Wishing you an early recovery. Chat Doctor.

The conversation between human and AI assistant.

Is there ever going to be a chance he might pull through as this happened about a week ago? [|AI|] Hello! Thank you for asking on Chat Doctor! I am really sorry about your husband! His clinical conditions seem to be really serious. The tracheostomy is needed for the respiratory assistance as the brain stem is responsible for the respiration. We can not determine if he will recover from this medical condition. Time will show it. Even though the brain stem has been damaged, as blood is absorbed there are still chances of recovery. I would recommend giving him another chance with tracheostomy, as otherwise it will be the end. Hope you will find this answer helpful! Kind regards,

The conversation between human and AI assistant. [|Human|] hi am 29yrs old and am married for 2years and we are planing for children we underwent all routine checkups and everything came out that we are fine but still not able to conceive and am advised to take fertyl tablets from my second day of mensurable cycle [|AI|] Hello routine tests for wife and husband are normal. I do agree with you. But fertility or conception or pregnancy require certain parameters as maturation of follicle, rupture of dominant follicle, release of ovum, entry of ovum into fallopian tube. After this meeting of sperm in fallopian tube, fertilization of ovum and sperm. Implantation of fertilized ovum in endometrium (at least 11 mm of thickness require for successful implantation) . So ferry i.e. clomefene is uses in ovulatory infertility. It helps in maturation of follicle and maturation of ovum and release of ovum. So deal as I mentioned above.

The conversation between human and AI assistant. [|Human|] I felt an electric shock in my left front thigh while doing knee lifts with my right leg. I was standing up shadow boxing and when I bent backwards and threw out my right knee my left leg had an incredible electric shock and I felt a tear in the front muscle in my left thigh. [|AI|] Hello, The electric shock feeling can be due to nerve and not due to muscle. I think you have a nerve entrapment in the lumbar spine and that's the cause for electrical shock feelings. As any Injury to the nerve may lead to abnormal sensations. When it's related to muscle there will be a dull ache and not the sharp shooting pain. Take the McKenzie maneuver position while the shocks come and see if reduced. If so than it is nerve pathology. McKenzie maneuver you can find online easily. Do core stability, spinal muscle strengthening exercises this should help reduce the symptoms. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Jay In Chat Doctor.

The conversation between human and AI assistant. [|Human|] was cooking liver for dinner and the smell made me start coughing, it was not burning there was little or no smoke, it felt deep in my lungs and was painful. never had this reaction before I like live and have cooked it many many times before. guess I just want to know what caused this type of reaction? [|AI|] Hi thanks for using Chat Doctor ... The cough developed could be due to reactive airway. Any irritation in the respiratory tree can cause Bronchospasm (construction of small airways)Cough is the first sign of airway irritation. Sometimes it will be relieved by its own or will have to give some inhalers. Anti-allergic tablets can help in this situation....Some ingredients must have caused the irritation.... Next time try to wear a mask while preparing the food.....thank you....

The conversation between human and AI assistant. [|Human|] ive been dx with general anxiety disorder and major depressive disorder in the past, I am taking Ativan 1 mg twice dly, I am experiencing mood swings, and wondering if I am bipolar as well, I have researched the bipolar s/s and they do not seem to fit my mood swings. [|AI|] Greetings ! Well while Bipolar disorder may develop in a person who has past history of anxiety and depressive disorders, but you should also take into account the fact that based on a single premise of mood swings one cannot be diagnosed as Bipolar disorder as there need to be a cluster of symptoms present together for formalization of this diagnosis. I am mentioning below some core symptoms and signs of Bipolar disorder which will help you to understand better about this condition.1) Elevated, expansive mood, also called as infectious gaiety.2) Inflated self-esteem and increase sense of self-worth.3) Overconfidence in one's abilities.4) Delusion of grandiosity and feeling superior over others.5) Over-familiarity and dis-inhibited behavior.6) Hyper-sexuality and promiscuity7) Decreased need for sleep (sleep only for 3 or fewer hours) but still one is able to get up with full energy8) Hyperactivity9) Flight of ideas and pressured speech that is ones ideas are produced in the mind at a fast rate so much so that ones speech is not able to complete one topic but before that jumps to another topic thereby making the speech incoherent and incomprehensible.10) Poor judgment and lack of insight, investment in doomed business ventures and going on spending sprees.11) Mood swings So you see you got to have few of these symptoms to be able to get diagnosed with Bipolar disorder, one single symptom does not support the diagnosis. I hope this helps. Regards

The conversation between human and AI assistant. [|Human|] Mifepristone,misoprostol,contraceptive pill I wish to know how is the mankind s unwanted kit? And whats the preferred procedure to consume it? As from the kit, I got to know that mifepristone should bt taken orally (through mouth, by water) and after 1-3 days 4 tablets of miseprostol are... [|AI|] Hello misunderstand your concernMifepristone plus bisoprolol is not contraceptive pill. It is abortion pill and use to terminate the intrauterine pregnancy up to 9 weeks of pregnancy. It should be used under the advice and observation of gynecologist after confirming intrauterine pregnancy by USG scan. Do not use at home as self-medication as it cause serious complication like excessive bleeding, incomplete abortion and abnormal development of pregnancy. Mifepristone should be taken orally after meal. After 48 hour, misorpostol 800 UG should be taken vaginally or orally under the observation of gynecologist. It should be put under the tongue and do not chew till it dissolve, and after 30 minutes chew the remaining tablet. So if you are pregnant and want to terminate the pregnancy then use it under the advice of gynecologist. Post abortion USG should be done after 14 days to confirm incomplete abortion. It should not be used for regular contraception. For contraception, you can use condoms, I pill and oral contraceptive pill. Hope this may help you Best regards

The conversation between human and AI assistant. [|Human|] My foreskin is discolored and has lost its elasticity, making it difficult and painful to retract over the glans. I have hadthis problem for about two months and it doesnt seem to have gotten better or worse. I have not been tested for stds but have not had sexin over a year and always use a condom. [|AI|] HelloThanks for query. Based on what you have described discoloration of foreskin with loss of elasticity is mostly due to what is called as Atlantis Erotica Obliterate (BXO) However the diagnosis can be confirmed only on clinical examination by a qualified Urologist. This is progressive disease and is a variant of Lichen Plans. There is no treatment that can cure it permanently. You can slow down the progress by using steroid cream. Chat Doctor.

The conversation between human and AI assistant. [|Human|] My son is 10 months old and he had a fever of 101-102 for the past 4 days and now that it is gone he started having red little spots on his face, down the neck and back and some on his legs. It got worsen since morning. And I was also giving him baby tylenol because he is teething and had fever. Do you know what could it be and should I go see his pediatrician? [|AI|] Hi... Thank you for consulting in Chat Doctor. Fever of few days without any localizing signs could as well a viral illness. Usually rather than fever, what is more important is the activity of the child, in between 2 fever episodes on the same day. If the kid is active and playing around when there is no fever, it is probably viral illness and it doesn't require antibiotics at all. Once viral fever comes it will there for 4-7 days. So do not worry about duration if the kid is active. Paracetamol can be given in the dose of 15 mg/kg/dose (maximum ceiling dose of 500 mg) every 4-6th hourly that too only if fever is more than 100F. I suggest not using combination medicines for fever, especially with Paracetamol. Hope my answer was helpful for you. I am happy to help any time. Further clarifications and consultations on Chat Doctor are welcome. If you do not have any clarifications, you can close the discussion and rate the answer. Wish your kid good health.

The conversation between human and AI assistant. [|Human|] My maid has rashes on the skin, which starts as a small spot and then on itching,it becomes a big rash spot @ 1" -2". It also becomes black in color. The spot does not have any swelling. This condition seems to be exists for 6 months now. It has started to show more prominently since last 2-3 months.

[|Human|] Hi sir , I have 16 years old , I started masturbating from I was 10 , every day , and twice a day and maybe a 3thd time , new I feel weak , my heart beats sometimes fast beats , and I have a little pain in my stomach can ejaculate this time , cause any problem ? thank you very much [|AI|] I do not see this as being an issue, however if the symptoms continue it may be. A temporary alteration in blood-flow due to ejaculation and masturbation may cause shunting and or altered blood-flow to your gut temporarily, causing the symptoms of pain you are describing. Nonetheless, this should be very temporary, and relieve within a few seconds to minutes. I suggest you HY Chat Doctor.

The conversation between human and AI assistant. [|Human|] Hello! My name is Melinda. Last Monday I had both of my bottom wisdom teeth extracted. Yesterday as I was brushing my teeth my hand slipped and poked the hole of the extraction sight and started bleeding. Im afraid I may have dislodged the blood clot. That was around 10 PM (Monday) and it is now 2:56 Am (Tuesday). If I am developing dry socket how long does it take before the pain begins? If it wasnt the blood clot being dislodged then what was it? Also how does a blood clot develop? And last but not least, I have been eating. If food gets stuck in the holes does my body naturally push it out or will the gum heal over it? I have been doing the salt water rinses but I dont feel like its enough. Thank you for your time! Have a great day! [|AI|] Hi, Thanks for asking the query, A wound healing occurs after 2-3 weeks, Chat Doctor. According to your symptoms I suspect that bleeding seen can be due to irritation caused to the granulation tissue of the healing socket. I would suggest you to follow the post extraction instruction given to you carefully. Take complete course of antibiotics and analgesics. Take lukewarm slain and antiseptic mouthwash rinses. Hope this helps out. Regards...

The conversation between human and AI assistant. [|Human|] What does a blood cortisol level of 563 nmol mean? I had Crainiopharyngioma as a child and have symptoms which are getting worse over the years such as extreme tiredness, light headedness, back ache, tummy ache, ibs , shakes. I wondered if the bit of the tumour that was left might be causing my pituitary gland to produce extra cortisol? [|AI|] Hi, Cortisol levels have diurnal variation - meaning the levels of hormone vary according to the time of test. Presuming the test was done early in the morning cortisol level of 563 MOL is in limits. If rest of the hormones are within limits, then craniopharyngioma has no direct relations with your current symptoms. Discuss with an endocrinologist who can get rest of the hormone assay done to rule out endocrinopathies. Hope this answers your query. Regards

The conversation between human and AI assistant. [|Human|] We were travelling on a train and in the night, my son aged 4yrs was bitten by bed bugs which were there on the berth. Both his ear lobes are swollen and feels heavy. We have applied an ointment called T-bact and have applied cold press. Kindly advise if anything else needs to be done. Thank you [|AI|] Hello there, Since your son is young therefore a small bite may appear much worse than him than an adult. If there is no fever than you can give him Exocet(half a tablet) once a day. Also, Also BECAME/BECKER ointment can be applied on the red/swollen area twice a day. If the swelling does not go down in 3 days you need to take him to a doctor and get him examined further, thank you for your query, Chat Doctor.

The conversation between human and AI assistant. [|Human|] Earlier this evening I tripped and hit my head on a metal beam. The head ache is a dull ache. My vision is fine. About an hour and a half after I hit my head that s when the my stomach got queasy. This lasted for a half hour. I ate supper and have had no issues of upset stomach but do have a dull head ache. With these symptoms do you think I could have a concussion? [|AI|] Hello, The diagnosis of a concussion is best made after a visit to a doctor knowledgeable in such injuries who can solicit the proper history surrounding the events that occurred just prior and just after the fall. If you are still experiencing the dull headache then, my best suggestion to you is that you be seen at an URGENT CARE center or even an ER. I cannot know without examining you further what may or may not be happening to your head and there certainly is the possibility that you suffered a CONCUSSION. Therefore, my advice is to be seen as soon as possible. I would not stay home to rest or relax unless you have absolutely no headache or head pain and have perfect recall of everything that happened before and after the fall. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Chat Doctor.

The conversation between human and AI assistant. [|Human|] I have a pain in my abdominal area. Its in the center (not left or right side at all). It hurts to take a deep breath/cough/yawn and is quite tender to the touch. It problem starts at about the end of the sternum (is that the bone in the rib cage?) and is about the length of 3 fingers starting from the top to the bottle. It feels like a sore muscle (as if I had been doing a lot of crunches but hadnt). I dont have any symptoms related to digestive issues (urine is normal, stools are normal, no gas, etc). I just lost my job so Im in the process of getting my own insurance. i am trying to see if this is something to be concerned with. It started yesterday. The pain has been consistent since I started yesterday. [|AI|] Hello, Thanks for the query to Chat Doctor. Forum. As you mentioned that pain is just below the sternum i.e. pain in the epigastric region. The reason of this pain may be due to stress (tension) of job. Hyper acidity develops more acid secretion and this causes pain and there develops gastritis. So don't worry and don't take tension. Take antacid syrup (tetracaine with it), you will get quick relief. Still, no relief then take proton pump inhibitor after consultation of your doctor. Good luck.

The conversation between human and AI assistant. [|Human|] My husband has had a problem with skin for a year now. He has patches all over his body of red bumps that itch so badly he breaks the skin. We originally believed it to be scabies my neither me or my son are affected. We also treated with premethrin and ivermectin and it has not changed. So what ski. Conditions could appear like scabies but are not contagious... I just want to help him, the itching drives him insane and I am at a loss, [|AI|] Hi. Thanks for the query. As per your complaint the symptoms of small patches of red bumps all over the body that are itchy too can be due to allergic reaction or Contact Dermatitis that can occur due to allergic reaction to any Food, medication, poison ivy, latex, leather etc. Other cause can be generalized hair follicle infection caused by Staphylococcus bacteria. I would suggest you to consult an Allergist or Immunologist and get him evaluated and proper investigations of the lesions and blood tests like complete blood picture and allergic tests like LAST test, Patch test, Food challenge test can be done to rule out the cause. In case if it is due to allergic reaction then he can be advised oral anti-allergics like Allegra or Levocetrizine along with topical application of Ben Chat Doctor.

My eldest granddaughter is already on prozac and has total negative feelings when yelled at and other reasons.she is twelve.my 7 year old granddaughter is 7 and is beginning to show signs of nervous behavior. How can I tell my daughter in law that she needs help without making her angry. She says that the girls are her children and she can do what she wants with them true but not telling negative thing constantly. What to do help [|AI|] Degree understand your concerns went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. This authoritarian way of behavior stems out from being stressed out. Borderline personality disorder is different. I quote Wikipedia - Borderline personality disorder (BPD) (called emotionally unstable personality disorder, emotional intensity disorder, or borderline type) is a cluster-B personality disorder, the essential feature of which is a pattern of marked impulsivity and instability of affects, interpersonal relationships and self-image. The pattern is present by early adulthood and occurs across a variety of situations and contexts. Other symptoms usually include intense fears of abandonment and intense anger and irritability, the reason for which others have difficulty understanding. People with BPD often engage in idealization and devaluation of others, alternating between high positive regard and great disappointment. Self-harm and suicidal behavior are common. Therefore, anger and irritation alone cannot be termed as BPD. This could be stress. We need to find out the origin of the stress and motivate her to either adjust with it or to avoid that circumstance. In any case, she needs the intervention of a counselor or a well-wisher whom she trusts. Let the reality enter inside her mind that her behavior is ruining the future of her own child Chat Doctor. Definitely you shall see the change. If you require more of my help in this aspect, Please post a direct question to me in this website. Make sure that you include every minute details possible. I shall prescribe some psychotherapy techniques which should help you cure your condition further. Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications. Good luck.

Do a fresh USG of lower abdomen to rule out underlying pathology if any. If anything rule out, then treat accordingly with consult of gynecologist.

Just last week it started but hasn t went away went the to the er last Friday and they said it was pleurisy never gave me any type of x ray or ct scan just diagnosed me n sent me home w a shot and prescription for naprosyn500mg. I have yet to get the medicine due to money issues at the moment but the pain hurts so bad when I breath and I just took 4 200mg ibprof. N still feel the pain [|AI|] Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. In my opinion, you should rule out cardiac and pulmonary causes first for your intermittent chest pain. So get done ECG to rule out heart related causes. Get done chest x-ray to rule out pleurisy (inflammation of pleura) and lung related causes. If everything is normal then mostly you have anxiety and related chest discomfort. So better to consult psychiatrist and get done counselling sessions. Try to identify stressors in your life and start working on it. Avoid stress and anxiety. Be relax and calm.

[|AI|] Hello, Thanks for choosing Chat Doctor for posting your query. I have gone through your question in detail and I can understand what you are going through. No this may not be a premature ejaculation. It's normal for a boy to get stimulated leading to some pain and seminal leakage. There is no need to worry. Masturbation is also safe and there is no problem. This thing will settle down with time. You may even masturbate before meeting the girl which will reduce the stimulation, and you will be comfortable. Team is the best healer in this case.... Hope I am able to answer your concerns. If you have any further query, I would be glad to help you.

Thanks for writing to us at Chat Doctor I will keep a possibility of scalp seborrhea dermatitis. It usually presents as Chat Doctor.

The conversation between human and AI assistant. [|Human|] my husband has had a triple bypass 3 years ago, Has congestive heart failure now heart is beating at 30 percent, 2 days ago we went to the VA hospital for out patient surgery which they cancelled because his pulse rate kept dropping to 32 then back up to 60? They sent him to the ER where they xrayed his lungs and found he had fluid in them gave him a diruretic sent him home ? with no answers as to what to expect or what is going on? Can you tell me what to expect please? [|AI|] Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your situation and problem. Congestive heart failure is failure of pumping action of heart. And 30% beating means his heart is working only 30% to pump out blood. So efficient pumping of body fluids is hampered in your husbands case. This causes fluid retention in dependent part of body like lower limbs, abdomen and lungs. When fluid accumulate in lungs, it is known as pulmonary edema. This is not a good sign. This indicates more worsening of heart function. Along with this his pulse are also very low (32-50). Which is again indicator of failing heart. So I advise you to consult cardiologist and get done repeat 2d echo to know heart function. He needs diuretic and cardio tropic Chat Doctor.

The conversation between human and AI assistant. [|Human|] Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ? Please type your query here...hii... my uncle had typhoid last month..about 2 weeks after discharge he is now suddenly having low grade fever(99-101C) from noon to night..it starts at around 12pm and leaves by 12am..he also has headache at the time..couldit be a relapse?His blood culture was normal at the time of discharge [|AI|] Hello, thank you for posting your query here. Did your uncle take the complete course of antibiotics for typhoid ? From the symptoms you be described with low grade fever and headache, my opinion is that he is having a viral illness now. You can ask him to wait for 2-3 days, and if fever persists, to do a blood culture and start on a course of antibiotics (what he took last time for typhoid). Importantly, ask him to take a vaccine for typhoid a month after recovery, as infection with typhoid does not protect against typhoid recurring in the future. Hygiene and handwashing before eating food, after using the toilet is to be stressed upon. As is Chat Doctor. Hope he gets better soon.

The conversation between human and AI assistant. [|Human|] My son is 6 months old now. I have started with mashed foods like carrots, apples, vegetables and cerelac. The doctor also asked us to start with lactogen. But he does not drink lactogen at all. Is it really necessary that he takes lactogen? If yes is there an alternative? [|AI|] Weaning with semi solids is recommended from 6 months of age. You can give mashed rice boiled along with pulses and the vegetables that you mentioned. Basically it is a transition to adult food and practically any adult food low on spices can be introduced gradually but in the mashed form. Lactose or milk is an accessory and may not be given if other nutritive principles are included. If the child is not taking lactose, it is not a cause of concern, and you need not worry and there is no need to look for alternatives.

[|AI|] Hello, you need to take a proper control over your blood pressure readings. You need to reduce salt intake and Chat Doctor. Be regular with intake of your BP medicine and do not leave taking them. Regularly monitor your blood pressure readings. Measure your BP after few days regularly and keep a BP track record in a diary so that you can show the same to your physician.

Take food regularly and take small frequent meals instead of a heavy meal after longer duration.

The conversation between human and AI assistant. [|Human|] my daughter is 25 weeks pregnant ,she is 39 about 16 stone,5ft 4in has asthma and felt unwell all the time with being breathless even using inhalers and feeling weak and sick ,tests at the hospital have come up with nothing,can you ? thanks from a worried mom....... [|AI|] Hi, I had gone through your query and understand your concern. It seems that your daughter has poor asthma control. This is very important to have good asthma control during pregnancy since it may affect the child. If you could mention the name of the inhalers, it would help me to give you a precise suggestion. If I were the treating physician, I would first confirm the diagnosis by objective test, check for triggers and follow up thoroughly for any abnormality related to pregnancy. Then I would, I advise steroid inhaler twice daily and albuterol inhaler as required for asthma and other medications if required. Since this is a prescription medicine, so my opinion is :please consult with a respiratory medicine specialist to confirm the diagnosis and get treatment accordingly. Please do not worry. Asthma will be under good control with proper medication. Wish your daughter safe pregnancy.

But till now every 3 months once he taken spinal CT Scan only. He s age is only 36years. Further what treatment doing next, tell me ur opinion. Do u suggested pet scan How much cost of pet scan, which institution take the pet scan. [|AI|] PET scan is a sensitive investigation for many tumors. Angiosarcomas can also be picked up by PET scan. However, a PET scan (about Rs 20000) is relatively expensive compared to a CT scan (5000 - 10000) or MRI (~10000). If the sequential CT scans are normal and if your brother does not have any complaints on regular follow up then he might not require a PET scan. If on the other had there is some abnormality on the CT which is difficult to make out then you can go for a PET scan especially to see if there is active tumor or fibrosis. Lot of places now offer PET scan. An idea of your location would help give a specific answer.

Pian in the root canal treated tooth can be due to re-infection or spread of infection to the adjacent tooth leading to abscess formation. I would suggest you to take an OPG radiograph to determine proper diagnosis and appropriate treatment plan. If required act has to be performed in the adjacent tooth also. Stop the use of tobacco based tooth powder. Use a soft bristle tooth brush and desensitizing toothpaste. Use antiseptic mouthwash rinses. Maintain a good oral hygiene. Hope this helps out.

[|AI|] Welcome to Chat Doctor .1. You said that a doctor has examined and said its muscle mass, but you still feel that there is something there. 2. In this case what I would recommend is get a chest x-ray (PA view / Picogram) and ultrasounds scan of the muscle / lump area (gives us exact content and involving structures)3. No uneven muscle without workup is not possible.4. If it is not painful and not causing discomfort - you can ignore.5.

The pain is almost gone as well as the high fever, but i have been extremely dizzy. I was expecting that to subside with the other symptoms, is this normal? i just dont quite feel right. [|AI|] Dizziness is not likely to be due to the infection unless OT is so severe that it had reduced your BP, but that is now unlikely considering that you feel the fever had come down. Ciprofloxacin is an excellent Chat Doctor. You can take a multivitamin preparation for whatever it is worth as well. I suggest you take plenty of fluids and eat well for the next couple of days till you complete your antibiotics course but if you are not comfortable, please stop the antibiotic and get yourself examined by a doctor.

[|AI|] Thank you user for your query understand your concern at Chat Doctor. As per your history all I can suggest you is that simvastatin causes generalized muscle weakness and metformin causes only gastrointestinal symptoms mainly nausea.Hence, as per my advice you can start taking atorvastatin instead of simvastatin.

There is nothing to be worried about. Chat Doctor.

The conversation between human and AI assistant. [|Human|] My husband had to undergo medical examinations required for their job onboard...he was diagnosed to have 108 sgpt level the normal should be 80 what should be the best thing to do for him to reach the normal level required for the test?Despite the exercise and strict diet he did accompanied by medication prescribed by the attending physician because this was already the 2nd time he went for a test the first one was pending he did have a 140 sgpt level...Could you please give me any possible things to do to lessen it in just 3 days he will be back again ob Tuesday for a test..thanks looking forward for an answer soon..God bless. [|AI|] Hello! Thank you for the query. Unfortunately it is impossible to make Sept level normal in just 3 days. SGPT is a liver enzyme which gets elevated when some liver cells get damaged. And it takes about a month for liver cells to regenerate. So it takes at least a month to decrease SGPT level. To do that your husband should modify his diet (avoid fatty foods, spicy foods, fried foods), avoid alcohol intake and do not take painkillers (like Acetaminophen). Hope this will help. Regards.

The conversation between human and AI assistant. [|Human|] The other night, I got some stiffness in my neck and got really dizzy like I had been drinking but I dont drink. Then I got slow of speech and started smelling old engine oil. what could have been the problem? I had the stiffness in my neck and head all day. [|AI|] Hello! Welcome on Chat Doctor ! Your symptoms could be related to chronic degeneration of the cervical vertebral column. Anyway, it is really hard to connect all your symptoms together with a neurological disorder. The dizziness and neck stiffness could be related to chronic degeneration of the cervical column. But the weird smells do not seem to be related to such issues. Anyway, if the problem persists, I recommend performing a brain MRI and a Doppler ultrasound of the cervical arteries. Hope you will find this answer helpful! Best wishes,

[|AI|] Hello, Thanks for posting on Chat Doctor, Your most probably suffering from an allergy condition, and it must not necessarily be caused by an external environmental factor but by an underlying condition from within your body. Allergies can occur:- Spontaneously with no external stimuli-Weather changes (cold or hot)- Type of food-Clothing- Insects/pests/parasites (even those that can be seen like bugs)Your symptoms could be manifestation of an autoimmune diseases condition that will have to be investigating for ruling out by your doctor.

The conversation between human and AI assistant. [|Human|] Hi I am a 53 year old female. I have no heart disease that I am aware of. I do take metoprolol 25 mgs daily for a fast heart rate. It usually runs about 90 bpm, so doctor suggested this medicine. But last few nights, as soon as I lay down at night, I can feel and hear my heart beating. Is this normal? I do not have any caffine at night, however I do have wine, and I tend to have sweets. I immediately feel my pulse, and it feels normal and regular, and it doesnt feel fast. But it keeps me up as I can distinctly feel and hear the thumping. Should I be worried? Should I up my metoprolol at night? Thanks for your answer. [|AI|] Hi, Usually it is not dangerous if you feel your heart beating when you are lying. I would advise you to check your blood pressure for a week in the evenings, as sometime people can feel their heartbeats because of high blood pressure, but if it is normal before going to bed, there is nothing to worry.Also, I would advise you to avoid sweets and alcohol in the evening, and try to be in the fresh air much. Hope I could help nourishing you good health In case of further questions don't hesitate to ask
