This requires some investigations to conclude proper diagnosis of having your fever. Go for complete blood checking like TC, DC, ESR, MP, platelet count. S. Tidal. Go for routine urine check up.If you require go for x-ray chest. After all reports your doctor come to diagnosis and plan of proper treatment can be started.Meanwhile, take rest and take light diet.

The conversation between human and AI assistant. [|Human|] i have painfull hart palpertations after only a little exertion like picking up my daughter, and pains in my left arm and leg, with a severe pain in my head its not a headache but a more solid hard pain, my dad suffers from anjina and is on betablockers, is there a connection, i am 42 [|AI|] Painful heart palpitations after exertion suggest that certain area of your heart might be getting less blood supply as compared to what is needed. Plus the associated radiating pain in left arm and leg also point towards the same. However, in some cases, palpitations might also happen due to some anemic disease where cardiopulmonary reserve is low. Consult a cardiologist and get your ECG, ECHO and Stress TMT tests done which will rule out any serious cardiac disease. Also, as you father suffers from angina, there is a slight increased probability of you suffering from the same.
The conversation between human and AI assistant. [|Human|] Can a child at age 8 months have tubes put in her ears? She is on ear infection # 6! We do not smoke and I try to keep our home as clean as possible. Her dr has prescribed just about every oral antibiotic with out luck. She has since been given 3 shots (antibiotic) 3 days apart. I m very worried about her hearing and the start of disabilities. [|AI|] These frequent ear infections in a child occur when there is smoldering infection in the throat with enlargement of tonsils and adenoids. Also, if you have a family history of allergy then the chances of infection also increases. He is suffering from ATOM. Try to evaluate the adenoids and tonsils, antibiotics like Augmenting is helpful (you didn't mention body weight, so dose calculation could not be done). Also anti allergy like Montage LC will be helpful.
The conversation between human and AI assistant. [|Human|] Hey there i have been diagnosed with epididymitis.. Ive been on quite a few cycles of medacine.. probably on my fourth cycle now.. I have 8 days left. . Im 22. My abdominal wall on my left side hurts and so does my left kidney i think. Or it could just be my lower back. Not quite sure. Anyhow. I dont wana lose my testicles.. what do i do next [|AI|] Hai, As you are complaining of left side abdominal pain may not be related with your testicles. Kidney problem may not hurt or pain unless there is stone. Depends on the type, time, duration,frequency, location of pain will rule out the problem and with the help of Ultrasound can diagnose the exact cause. Kindly consult a physician/gastroenterologist to rule out the cause for further treatment and management. Thank you hope I answered your query.
The conversation between human and AI assistant. [|Human|] i was in a car crash 3 days ago. nothing was life threatening so i did not have to be transferred to A & E. but i was checked by the local doctor to check my injuries and she only pescribed me with pain killers. since then i have had a on going headache and feel weak. what should i do? [|AI|] Thank You for contacting Chat Doctor. Pain after head injury can be simple concussion or could lead to sever bleed. It takes around few days to recover fully. I would suggest following:> Take rest.> Avoid serious activity.> For headache acetaminophen can be taken.> Take a cloth piece and heat over flame so that it becomes warm, then place it over the eye. It will give soothing effect. Black eye is due to blood accumulation under skin.> Avoid Chat Doctor. > Take healthy food including fruits & vegetablesReport to hospital (preferably to neurosurgeon as he is specialized in head trauma cases) if:> Condition remain same after 4-5 days> Any unusual symptom appears> Condition deteriorates.> You loose conscious or has altered state & talk irrelevant things.> There is visual problem. Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow-up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. Wishing you good health.
The conversation between human and AI assistant. [|Human|] HI i had my appendix out over 3 weeks ago. But since having the operation i can not open my bowels. I have ate different fruits and veg, drank different drink. My doctor has also gave me many different laxatives and stool softeners along with pain killers. I have also had an enema - small amount of water leaked only once. I am now feeling faint most of the day along with the other stuff i am having - extreme cramps/ abdominal pain - headaches - hot flushes - back pain - nausea - acid in throat - struggle to eat after a few mouthfuls - struggle to keep drinking. I am to see my doctor again on Monday afternoon but the pain is increasing and i don t like the faint feeling that has started. Do you have any advice? [|AI|] Hello! Thank you for the query. If you haven't had a stool since surgery, it may be more serious than just simple constipation. Sometimes after appendix surgery, bowels obstruction due to volumes (twisted intestine) or due other reason. Cramps and pains, lack of stool, nausea strongly indicate bowels obstruction. If there is no gas getting out as well, you may be almost sure, this is the obstruction. Headaches and weakness can appear due to deny Chat Doctor. Back pain seems to be due to kidneys failure and kidneys infection. It seems that this is an urgent condition, and you should not wait any longer. Please go to ER as soon as possible. Abdominal X-ray should tell if there is any obstruction. Blood work, ions levels, CRP should be also done. Hope this will help. Regards.
The conversation between human and AI assistant. [|Human|] I have had high risk encounters (gay) and have a rash with puss all over my chest does not itch but have had itfor about two weeks now. Also have this pain in my lower abdomin on the right side and left side, it moves from side to side. The pain seems to be worse in the early morning and at bed time. Im married and worried as hell. I do not have sex with the wife but worried that I could pass something on to her or some one else. Help! [|AI|] Hello, Thanks for the query to Chat Doctor. Forum. I would come up with these possibilities for this type of purulent discharge from the chest, This includes.1 Gonorrhea, diagnosis can be confirmed by gram stain & culture from purulent discharge.2 Syphilis tertiary stage, as you didn't mention the exact history so very difficult to say something. Diagnosis can be confirmed by treponamal test.3 Side by side pain in lower abdomen and more in the morning and evening is also due to s t d, as genitals may have involved. Diagnosis can be confirmed by V D R L test .4 May be Memphis, diagnosis can be confirmed by C B C and physical examination by a physician. In my opinion get in blood for V D R L, c b c & ESR and deal accordingly. Good luck.

The conversation between human and AI assistant. [|Human|] My 12 yr old daughter has an enlarged lymph node in front of her left ear and her left tonsil is also notably enlarged. It has been this way for about three months now. She has has a history of excessive sweating. Im not sure if all of this is tied together or not but am quite concerned. [|AI|] Hi. Commonly lymph nodes and tonsils are enlarged due to infection. In case of your child the location of the lymph node in front of the ear and one-sided enlargement of tonsils is unusual. Excessive sweating also is of some concern, but it is not clear from when. If we put together all these together it is a bit worrisome. It MAY be some form of cancer of lymph node what is known as Lymphoma. Please see a doctor at the earliest for proper evaluation.

The conversation between human and AI assistant. [|Human|] What would cause a terrible metal taste in your mouth when in the hot tub? I have to remove my retainer to bare it. I feel lethargic and un motivated but aside from my lower back giving me problems lately that horrid taste ive now experienced when not in the hot tub. [|AI|] Dear friend, thank you for your consultation. Generally people feel metallic taste in some vitamin and ion disbalance in the body. You probably need a complete check-up for these in your blood. If you find any irregularity then probably this is the cause of your metallic taste, lethargy and motivation. For your lower back problem I am telling you this can be due to muscle spasm in the back region. You should go for a regular physiotherapy consisting of back strengthening exercise like flexion exercise.it will help to decrease your pain very much. So I sincerely believe taking these two steps will solve your problem in a comprehensive way.my best wishes for you. Thank you.
The conversation between human and AI assistant. [|Human|] I have a lump on the back of my neck at the base of my skull. It is about the size of an egg yolk. It is not really painful, except that it doesnt feel comfortable when pressure is applied. The lump has been there for at least 5 years. No real complaints, just very concerned. What could it be? Should I be worried? Do I need to have an MRI or anything? [|AI|] Hello! Welcome to Chat Doctor. Yes, your concern is very true. This can be a lipoma or sebaceous cyst. Local examination for diagnosis is necessary. If soft, freely mobile suggests lipoma, if puncture (black dot) is present, its sebaceous cyst. Many times FNAC - fine needle aspiration cytology is advised for accurate diagnosis. Treatment is usually excision, if symptomatic. Hope this information is useful for you. Wish you healthy life. Thanks. Regards.
The conversation between human and AI assistant. [|Human|] Since 2011 I have been having c-spine issues. In 2011 I had eight injections in my c-spine and a full round of physical therapy. A couple of months ago I completed another round of injections and was to start physical therapy. During my PT evaluation, I was told c-2 and c-3 were shifted greatly to the right. The therapist was able to move them back into place but they immediately shifted back to the right. At that time I was unable to turn or tilt my head to the right. Two weeks later I went to PT and was told c-2and c-3 we re not shifted as bad and I was able to turn and tilt to the right. I have had continuous muscle tightness in my neck and upper back to below my scapula. Radial and ulnar nerve pain, weakness and tingling down both arms. Stabbing pain between my shoulder blades. Pain in both shoulders. The injections helped a lot of the nerve issues but have had no effect on the muscle issues. For the last several months I and others have noticed my head shaking. As of three to four weeks ago, I am now having upper body shaking both visibly and inside and my head is shaking worse. These are getting worse and worse where today I was up long enough to take a shower then was shaking so bad I had to lay down for 45 min to settle down. And to top it off, I can t eat and am almost always nauseated. Are these new symptoms all related to the c spine? Getting a little scared.. [|AI|] Hello! I understand your concern! In my opinion the troubles you have may be related the cervical spine problem. The pain, body shaking, tinglings on hands are all concerning symptoms of a serious cervical problem causing also irritation of the nerves. I would recommend you a cervical MRI to examine the vertebrae and the spine for probable damage. The size of the spinal canal as it may be narrowed. If serious problems are encountered a surgical treatment may be needed. In the meantime I would recommend you a cervical collar. It will be very helpful to your situation. Hope to have been helpful! Thank you for using Chat Doctor! Best Wishes
The conversation between human and AI assistant. [|Human|] hi 3 days back my 2&1/2 year old hitted her nose against a plastic bucketthe same evening my elder pinched her nose then she developed swelling morning i showed to doc he gave muphtint@e and toldits a furunclenafternoon i tried applying the olntment it bleeded. Now ahe has rt nostril blocked with clott no ftesh bleeding [|AI|] Thank you for your contact to Chat Doctor. It seems she had minor nosebleed that has stopped, it may require no treatment at all. She formed a clot at the site of the bleeding that stopped any further bleeding. If the bleeding repeats, a doctor may cauterize it (seal the blood vessel) with a chemical called silver nitrate. Cauterization is most effective when the bleeding is coming from the very front part of the nose. In more complicated cases, a nasal packing may be required to stop the bleeding. The idea behind this is to put pressure from inside the nostril to halt the bleeding. Many types of packing are available, ranging from petroleum (Vaseline) gauze to balloon packs to synthetic sponge packs that expand when moistened. I suggest --don't remove cloth, apply pile or tomophobe on the nose, rubber gently 2 times a day for 5 days
The conversation between human and AI assistant. [|Human|] My daughter (age 29) developed a rash on the RT side of her neck 2 days ago with swollen areas near her ear/jawline. It was a spotty type rash that was barely visible. (She was immunized for mumps as a child.) NO signs of a cold or sore throat and the rash has gone away for the most part, but she has areas of swelling in the area in front on her LT ear and 2-3 areas on the back of her neck on one side. Are there lymph nodes on the back of the neck? Do you think she could have been bitten by a spider or some other insect? [|AI|] Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor, A rash with swelling on the neck is suggestive of an allergic reaction. Allergy can be due to an insect bite, spider bite, exposure to some poisonous plant or chemical in the environment, etc. Is there history of these complaints? If yes, then antihistamines are a group of Chat Doctor. A lymph node enlargement causes a lump like swelling which is discrete and mostly mobile. A clinical examination of the rash and swelling is required for more definite opinion. Viral infections can also cause rash however, viral infections are usually associated with fever and malaise. You need to consult your doctor for clinical examination and further management. Thanks and take care
The conversation between human and AI assistant. [|Human|] I have been diagnosed with a very rare neurological condition called neuroferritinopathy. However I am suffering from symptoms which are not recognised by my consultant as neuroferritinopathy. 1. I have pain in a number of joints.2. I have an overactive bladder.3. I am losing my sense of smell.4. I am going deaf in my left ear. [|AI|] Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor. You are affected by a disorder in which iron accumulates in brain and other cells. It is due to mutation in gene called FTL gene. Please avoid intake of iron supplements. At present, there is no absolute cure for Neuroferritinopathy. You need physiotherapy and NSAIDs for painful joints. Adequate calorie intake is necessary. Only symptomatic management is currently available. Do all necessary investigations like Ferritin level in blew, MRI brain etc. Consult with your family doctor and Neurologist as well as genetics expert to have a better management and followup. Hope this helps. Take care.
The conversation between human and AI assistant. [|Human|] My 17 month old son has a shortness of breath and had a nose bleed incident don t know if they are connected and he s been having diareah and the sipping cough as we ll. is this a sign of a serious matter just today he developed the shortness of breath and the bleeding [|AI|] Hi... I feel that he is going through a viral illness. But fast breathing s not a good sign to be left alone. I suggest you consult your physician or pediatrician regarding this. Bleeding can occur even due to trivial nose picking or due to viral illness per se. But as 17-month-old cannot pick the nose so effectively, I think it is related to viral illness and I suggest you see a physician or pediatrician. Regards -
The conversation between human and AI assistant. [|Human|] Harrington rod placed 30 years ago...never ever had problem s and it might have nothing to do with the rod...but my upper right side under the shoulder blade to my neck is killing me. I ve been running for years and also gardening...muscles maybe, it s been a week with this and it hurts to stretch. [|AI|] Hello, I have studied your case. Due to compression of nerve root there can be pain in your neck and shoulder I will advise you to do MRI spinor these symptoms analgesic and neurotrophic medication can be started. Till time, avoid lifting weights, Sit with support to back. You can consult physiotherapist for help. Physiotherapy like ultrasound and inferential therapy will give quick relief.

The conversation between human and AI assistant. [|Human|] I have mild asthma. I have used Alvesco inhaler since my diagnosis 8 years ago, but my insurance no longer covers it. My PCP prescribed Symbicort but it says it is not for people whose asthma is well controlled by inhaled corticosteroids. It also says it increases risk of death...I am very nervous about using this Rx. Is there something else more appropriate? [|AI|] Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Alvesco is having ciclesonide. It is inhaled corticosteroid (ICS). It is good that your asthma is controlled by only ICS. Symbicort is having Albuterol and fluticasone. Albuterol is inhaled bronchodilator. Fluticasone is ICS. So no need for additional albuterol when you are controlled with single ICS. So no need to take Symbicort. In my opinion, you will be good with plain budesonide. Budesonide is also an ICS. And it is covered under insurance. So start plain budesonide 200 micrograms twice daily. 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|] Hi doctor, i am a 41 year old female, i weigh 9stone which is about right for my height.I live in Greece and i get a yeast infection atleast once a month. I am taking a 200mg capsule of lomexin...fenticonazole nitrate and i use verdal cream...my husband uses the verdal cream too [|AI|] Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor! I understand your query. Well there are several causes of recurrent infections. Primarily, your immune status may not be up to mark i.e. you might be having some immune deficiency. Ensure a proper balanced diet with good eggs and non-veg intake if you are a non-vegetarian, as they are a rich source of proteins. Soybean is also a rich source of proteins. You might want to get investigated to find out the cause of this immune deficiency. Another common cause of recurrent infections is Diabetes. I'd strongly advice you to get a fasting and post radial blood glucose test done to find out your diabetes status. Thirdly, are you sure it's a yeast infection? I'd suggest you to visit a gynecologist and get it examined to rule out any other condition. Hope this information helps. Feel free to ask if to have any doubt. Wishing you a speedy recovery. With warm regards,
The conversation between human and AI assistant. [|Human|] Dear Madam my gf(22yr) had period on 4th of Aug and ended in 7th Aug and we had sex (not major ejaculated outside ) on 23rd aug and given i-pill on the same day with in one hour. we still tensed alot,is any need to use one more i-pill to avoid pregnancy, [|AI|] Hello dairy understand your concerned not worry. I pill was taken with in 1 hour. It is highly effective in preventing the pregnancy. It has 95-98% success rate to prevent the pregnancy. So it has just 0-5% failure rate. But I pill can cause disturbance in the menstrual cycle. Menstrual cycle can come earlier, delayed by 1-2 week, or with excessive bleeding. If period will delay by the more than 2 weeks then go for urine pregnancy test and or blood Chat Doctor test to confirm the pregnancy. If pregnancy will be detected then still it can be terminated by abortion pill under the supervision of the gynecologist. But I think you would not need all these as I pill was taken with in 1 hour of sex. Avoid stress, take healthy diet, Chat Doctor. Hope this may help you Best regards

The conversation between human and AI assistant. [|Human|] hi, i have been taking belara for a couple of months now but i moved to another country where they only have yasmine as contraceptive pills so i have no choice! i just got my period and i have to start taking the pill on the 5th day as normal. my question is if it is ok to switch from belara to yasmine and if it will have any side effect? and if it is not possible what is another sollution? [|AI|] Hayes, It is okay to switch from Bear to Yasmin. There is no problem or harm with shifting to Yasmin. Both are combined estrogen and progesterone containing contraceptive pills. Yasmin has similar side effects as Bear. Start taking the Yasmin pill from today itself for better protection. If it is more than seven days since you completed Bear use back up contraceptive method (like condoms) for one week. Your body may take some time to adjust to the medicines in the different brand. So don't be alarmed if you develop spotting in between. I hope I have answered to your satisfaction
The conversation between human and AI assistant. [|Human|] I have had 8 hernia surgeries and over 20 related surgeries trying to relieve pain and other issues. I have mesh inside that now have multiple nerves entrapped. Ive seen 13 different doctors in the past two years and now Im no longer able to work. I used to manage a CPA firm and I had to resign. Is there any relief for me? [|AI|] Hi I had gone through your query and understand your concerns.I advise you taking HomeopatChatDoctoredicines gives safe and permanent cure for your complaints without any surgery and recurrence. The difference between homeopathy and allopatry in the conception of disease is that whereas homeopathy considers the phenomenon of disease as a part and parcel of the sick individual as it is vitally connected with his life, while the allocate considers disease as independent and universal phenomenon, each disease having its separate and specific existence in nature. The body is born as one, functions as one, reacts as one, and dies as one. It is a unity. When affected by sickness, it reacts as a whole. The symptoms , which represent this reaction, around all over the body and also in the patient mental state.Thus, if we want to get a true and complete picture of the sickness, we must not only consider the chief complaint of the patient but also the symptoms of all parts of the body and the mind. All troubles of the patient arise from one basic disorder. For the selection of minimum on the basis of causation, location,sensation, modality and concomitants, you should consult your local homeopathic physician for correct diagnosis of the case and remedy to fit your complaints. Or mail me at Chat Doctor. Co.inI hope this is helpful for you, thank you

I also have constant popping in my ears. I have not in anyway injured myself, or been knocked on the head at any time over the last few weeks .. I also have a cough ..Can you maybe tell me what it likely is ..? [|AI|] Hi Dear, Welcome to Chat Doctor. Understanding your concern. As per your query pain behind ear and jaw could be because of impacted tooth. Sometimes impacted tooth get infected because in case of periodontal flap there is deposition of food debris and bacteria, which cause infection. I would suggest you to consult oral surgeon for proper examination and treatment. Doctor may order X-ray or orthopantomogram. Doctor may prescribe antibiotics like amoxicillin or in severe cases doctor may recommend impaction wisdom tooth means surgical extraction of wisdom tooth. Doctor may also rule out lipoma, cyst or Osceola. Doctor may also refer you to ENT specialist. For now maintain proper oral hygiene, do warm saline rinses and give warm compresses to affected area. Take ibuprofen or acetaminophen for pain and swelling. Hope your concern has been resolved. Get Well Soon. Best Wishes,
The conversation between human and AI assistant. [|Human|] Hi sir,I was having a problem of hair fall,so I consulted a doctor for the same.The prescribed medicines are:Revilus,Cipcal(1 tab daily),Aidane(twice a week),Zydip lotion(once daily). She prescribed me to apply Kz lotion 10 min before the shampooing. I am following these medicine from last 2 months and wash hair on every alternate days but still not getting any sign of improvement.50to100 hair falls on every wash.She told me to further continue these medicine.So plz advice me am i going into right direction or not. Thanks.. [|AI|] Hello, Hair loss has various causes. 50 to 100 hair fall per day is normal for men and it re-grows. Halogen effluvia is a condition where hair fall is more and can be taken care by multivitamin & mineral supplements. If hair loss is patchy, then it is due to local scalp disease. But another most important cause is an Chat Doctor. The medical treatment for this would be minoxidil 5% or 10% applied locally. The surgical management when you have lost significant hair would be hair transplantation which is a successful surgery. Best regards,
The conversation between human and AI assistant. [|Human|] Yes, I have an area on my shin that has turned red and is painful and is very warm. I don t see any red streaks but the pain has moved up the inside of my leg and everyday for a week now I have had throbbing headaches body aches, felt nauseated and thrown up [|AI|] Hi.have you had a recent history of trauma involving that area, or an insect bite? What you're experiencing may be an inflammatory reaction, progressing into a cellulitis (soft tissue inflammation). If it gets infected, an abscess formation might ensue. A consult with a doctor is best for physical examination and clinical evaluation. Diagnostics, such as CBC, will be requested as needed.

The conversation between human and AI assistant. [|Human|] I have symptoms with Lopressor that include vocal cord closure, extreme fatigue, too low B/p,mental confusion ,muscle weakness, light sensitivity, trouble breathing during the day...So...in desparation I cut 25 mg in half and many symptoms have begun to decrease. I suspect all smooth muscle were effected that is why I have so many symptoms. It was used to protect an aneurysm that will be fixed 21 july...AM I right about this? Lopressor could cause even more obstructive sleep apnea. I have celiac spru and am allergic to chemicals. [|AI|] Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Yes, you're all symptoms are due to hypotension and bradycardia caused by Lopressor. Lopressor is having metoprolol. It is beta blocker. It acts on reducing blood pressure and heart rate. You have given Lopressor just for prophylaxis before aneurysm surgery. So possibility of hypotension is more in your case. So you are cut down the dose to 12.5 mg. Chat Doctor.
The conversation between human and AI assistant. [|Human|] How can I find the cause of my memory loss. I am a recovering alcoholic., and have many times of falling and hitting my head plus a severe concussion at 27 years. I am 76 now. Also had 2 mini strokes. Plus depression all my life since age three. I have short term memory loss. Please help me. [|AI|] I can understand that this might be distressing for you. All the things you mention, alcohol abuse, stroke, depression and head injuries can cause cognitive impairment like in your case memory loss. Firstly it is important to be compliant to treatment (if you are on antihypertensives etc.) to prevent further strokes which may worsen your symptoms.

Nausea is sometimes associated with hypertensive urgency, whereby your BP suddenly shoots up, mostly in between time to two dosage, or you happen to miss a tab (rebound).

The conversation between human and AI assistant. [|Human|] wondering about a neurological condition that would cause a tonal pattern that when the pt flexes his shoulder it causes extension of the elbow and the arm internally rotates, also has ataxic gait with crossing over. Pt is 96, right arm has been that way for years, but now his left arm is doing it and the gait is something new [|AI|] Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor forum. Your patient is of 96 age, when flexes, his shoulder, cause extension of elbow, and arm internally rotates in right arm, and now the left arm also doing it. Recently there is ataxic gait. It appears to be the ischemia of the brain, probably due to the atherosclerosis, or neuritis, or necrosis of the muscles. Most probably these are irreversible changes. I usually prescribe to my patient with such age and symptoms neurotrophic injections for 10 consecutive days, and then periodically. Multivitamin tablets once daily. Physiotherapy is the best way to recovery, from the contractures. I advise taking more of green leafy vegetables, pulses, sprouts, and protein rich foods. Wishing for a quick and near complete recovery. Thank you.
The conversation between human and AI assistant. [|Human|] I m 22 years old, married, and have not been taking any steps to prevent pregnancy. My last period was on Sept. 19. I typically have a period every 4-5 weeks. I took a pregancy test on Oct. 30 and it was negative, but still no period. I don t have any signs of morning sickness, cravings, or the typical pregnancy indicators. The only chronic condition I have is ulcerative colitis. Could I have taken the test too early, therefore getting a false negative? I plan on taking another test on Nov. 7. If I still haven t started my period and I still get a negative pregnancy reading, should I make an appointment with a doctor? [|AI|] Hello, I have gone through your query. In the current scenario, I would recommend a proper clinical evaluation by an expert along with an estimation of the serum beta-ChatDoctor titles and a trans-vaginal sonogram to know the status of the pelvic organs. This will help to definitely conclude on the status of your possible pregnancy. If negative, you need to think of hormonal imbalances and a possible flare up of your ulcerative colitis causing disrupted cycles. If this is so, specific management is necessary to correct the situation. Maintenance of a healthy weight is very important. Hope your query has been clarified. Wish you good health.
The conversation between human and AI assistant. [|Human|] Hi sir,I have unprotected sex with prostitute on September 2015. I have done tridot test on Jan 2016,may 2016 and western blot test on June 2016. All the results were negative. But I have taken antitubercular medication(due to cervical and mediasternal lymphadenitis and bone tuberculosis) i.e. rifampicin, isoniazid,pyrizinamide and ethambutol during the HIV tests.Does these medications will give false negative during tridot and western blot testing? Shall I go for other confirmatory tests? Recently I got eosinophilia and last 6 months ( Oct 2016 to April 2017) my tongue becomes dry and white in colour (initially tongue becomes orange colour in mornings and now it becomes white and dry on morning ) kindly advice me. Thank s in advance. [|AI|] Hi there, AntiTB medications are not known to produce false negative trio/ western blot tests. White colored patch on tongue could be candidiasis. Please consult an oral medicine expert. Eosinophilic has many causes such as allergic reactions, skin disorders, intestinal worms etc. Please do Serum IGE levels and get your stool tested for cyst/ova. Hope I have answered your question. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help. With regards,

[|AI|] Hello misunderstand your concernFirst you have to confirm the pregnancy before using progesterone. If period was delayed by 8-10 days (not clear from history), pregnancy test will give positive result if you are pregnant. Better tool is blood Chat Doctor and USG to confirm the pregnancy. If pregnancy was not there, you can take progesterone under the advice of gynecologist. Progesterone contain progesterone and help to induce period in absence of pregnancy. Periodic follow up will be required. Hope this may help you Best regards

She can not walk from her couch to her front door without being short of breath. She can not take a bath nor vacuum her floor without being out of breath. She has even experience several episodes of chest pain on the left side and in the center of her chest. What do we need to do at this point? I have talked with the surgeon that put it in and he only said to see her heart doctor which can only see her on July 30. Is this something serious that we need to head to the er with? [|AI|] Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your situation and problem. In my opinion she is having congestive cardiac failure (CCF) mostly because of underlying heart disease. So consult cardiologist and get done1. ECG2. 2d echo3. Coronary angiography (If needed). Many times pacemakers do not give desired effect because of underlying poor functioning myocardium. So in such cases, pumping function of heart is impaired and can cause fluid overload. Fluid accumulate in the dependent parts of the body like lower limb, abdomen and lungs. In lungs, it will cause pulmonary edema. And this cause breathlessness on exertion. So she may need diuretic a and cardiac isotropic Chat Doctor. So consult cardiologist and discuss all these.

If he can lick little honey mixed with pure turmeric, pl give him 8 holy. Turmeric is tasteless, so no problem. These are safe, no side effects. Build resistance against infection. Harmless. In two or three days it will start showing results. You may continue for a week or so. Hope it helps.

Zetia does not seem to bother me but Pravistatin makes me hurt all over and I am scared of such a high dose of statin. I know Zetia has statin also. I want to stop these drugs and start taking CholesLo because it is a natural alternative. Thank you for listening, Donna Kelly YYYY@YYYY [|AI|] Hi, Donna, you are a patient of kidney transplant, and you know the importance of medicines in protecting the kidney. It is utmost important to protect the vessels of the kidney, that will be done by the statins, and you also might be having more of cholesterol. Natural substitutes like Holes may not have such a high dose of the statin. The problem with the pravastatin might be due to its gastric irritation, so I advise you to use some anti ulcer ants like omeprazole with your doctors advise. With this you will be comfortable. Thank you.

Im on anti biotics for four days and its worse at night. What is going on and what do I do.. No one can seem to tell me whats going on and I can not get rid of the pain ??? [|AI|] Dear friend. Thanks for sharing your concern. Your history suggests that you have got root canal treatment done. Which is still incomplete. Please give me complete history, regarding your root canal. Your present pain is due to infected canal and infected pulp tissues there, causing pain. It can be relived by painkillers temporarily, but you need to see your dentist soon, so that infected pulp tissues can be thoroughly removed, canal can be prepared and then saturated (filled) aseptically. Meanwhile, continue with your antibiotics and painkillers. Do antiseptic mouth rinsing. Hope it helps. Thanks. Take care.
The conversation between human and AI assistant. [|Human|] Went to get an ultrasound last week for abdominal pain. 3 cm cyst on left ovary and smaller cyst on right ovary. Having a lot of fluttering in my left lower abdomen that can be described that feels like a baby moving. Have pain still in left pelvic area. Always bloated, always feeling full, losing hair and peeing often. I have had two children, I am 28, I have had breast cancer. Negative pregnancy tests. I am 5 5 and 170 pounds. What could the fluttering feeling mean? I am positive it is not just gas. [|AI|] Hi. Thanks for your query and an elucidated history. Yes, there has to be a reason for this fluttering feeling and pain in left pelvic area and the feeling of baby moving. Your history of cancer breast noted, very uncommon at such a younger age. I would suggest you the following since you have a complicated history for your young age. Go for CT scan of the Abdomen to make certain that the cancer has not spread to the ovaries, the cysts of the ovaries can in fact be secondary cancer growth. This will prove what it is. This can be colitis as you are loosing hair, bloated and feeling full. I would advise in such a case the following:Take a course of an antibiotic and metronidazole, activated charcoal tablets, probiotics and most important the therapeutic dosages of Multivitamins. This may help you symptomatically.

The conversation between human and AI assistant. [|Human|] For about 3 months I have experienced a sudden onset of pain in the center of my stomach between my belly button and my ribs it lasts for about 15 to 20 minutes and ends just as suddenly. It hurts so bad I will break out into a sweat afterward I burp a lot. I have done this about 5 times.

What I can get from your history is you had constipation in past for which you used to take stool softeners. The pain comes and goes suddenly in the said area with sweating. The burping is after the attack. This looks to me a rare problem of Volumes of the stomach, wherein the stomach rotates around its own axis.

The conversation between human and AI assistant. [|Human|] Have had for a few years symptoms of occasional abdominal pain (worse with stress and relieved by gas or stool), loose stools sometimes with mucus, foul gas. No weight loss or crippling pain, no fevers, appetite remains the same. Went to GI doctor for recurring anal fissure . Normal CBC and mild elevated crp of 12.2 (0.1 - 8.2) and sed rate of 18 (0-10). Why did they recommend a colonoscopy? [|AI|] Hello! Thank you for the query. If you are 50 or older, such symptoms should always be checked with colonoscopy because with age of 50 colon cancer risk rises significantly. And the main intention of colonoscopy is to rule the cancer out. Cancer usually does not give any pain in early stages and gives hardly any symptoms. Usually when the symptoms appear, it is quite advanced. If you are young person, inflammatory bowels' disease can be the reason of your symptoms (Crohn's disease) and this can usually be verified with colonoscopy. Symptoms can be just like yours. Moreover, your symptoms do last for years and does not seem to get better. So the colonoscopy decision is very reasonable. Hope this will help. Regards.

These pains will sometimes come in the middle of sleep when I am laying on my side. When I immediately roll to my back they go away. Sometimes I will be just sitting in church and get them.

Fertab 50 contains camphene citrate. That helps in ovulation induction. So after using the tablets for five days, doctor can suggest you follicular study. By this the ovulation can be tracked and intercourse can be planned around those days, which will increase the possibility of pregnancy. Start taking folic acid tablets from now-onwards. For more details you can ask me through: http://www.ChatDoctor .com/doctors/ Chat Doctor.
The conversation between human and AI assistant. [|Human|] Hi [|AI|] Hello, Assuming the Mild facial palsy is Bells Palsy, it can be treated with a short course of steroids for 7-10 days. Steroids reduce the recovery time. Ideally treatment should be started within 3 days of symptom onset. Antivirals like acyclovir are recommended only in severe cases as their benefit is doubtful. If there is difficulty in closing the eyes, proper eye care including artificial tears, protective glasses during day and eye ointments and eye patch to keep eyes closed at night can be used. Usually there is good and complete recovery in mild facial palsy. Other modalities of treatment like surgical decompression and electrical stimulation needs to be considered only in severe cases.
The conversation between human and AI assistant. [|Human|] I have a lump on my lower outside leg about 5 inches above my ankle. It has always been there, and occasionally hurts. It is soft to the touch and squishy. I have recently discovered I have another one similar to the first but on the opposite leg, in the same spot. I was wondering what this could be. [|AI|] Hi.based from your description, it could be a lipoma (fatty deposit), fibrous (fibrous tissue formation) or a cystic formation (sebaceous or gelatinous type). These lesions occur anywhere in our body and has the tendency to recur. Other lesion types must also be ruled-out. It is best if you consult with a doctor, preferably a general surgeon, for clinical evaluation and if the lesion is starting to bother you. Diagnostics and management (medical and/or surgical if indications are found) will be directed accordingly. Hope this helps. Good day!!~ Chat Doctor.
The conversation between human and AI assistant. [|Human|] Had 3rd tooth from back on bottom left side removed Friday, because so much of the tooth had chipped off. It is now Wednesday, and I only have a little ache, but the clot is gone, and now there is something white in the middle. My stitches are doing good also. Should I worry about the white stuff in middle of socket? [|AI|] Hello, If there is white stuff filling up the extraction socket, then it is probably the healing tissue that continues to remodel so that the extraction socket gets healed completely. So, if the extraction socket has white tissue, it is a good sign and as the pain has also been nominal now, this is an indication that the extraction site is healing well. So, my suggestion is to maintain a good oral hygiene and let the extraction site heal the way it is healing. Get the stitches removed after a week. Do not let food accumulate in the extraction site to avoid any chances of infection. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Plz tell why i am unable to concive.. thanku. [|AI|] Hi, Thanks for writing to Chat Doctor. Though you are having regular cycles you may be having ovulatory cycles. That is follicles grow but they regress without rupturing. So I would suggest you to get your follicular study to know ovulation occurring or not and timing of it. ANOVA helps for follicle to grow properly and mature.

The conversation between human and AI assistant. [|Human|] I have had a bad cold all fall, the cat scan showed some emphysema but my Dr was very concerned about infection of the upper lobes and treated me with 10 days of Levofloxacin, 500 mg pr/day the last of these was 8 days ago and I still have a bad cough occasionally with some mucous. How long shouod this take to clear up? I feel much better but still have this cough at time that makes me dizzy trying to dispell the mucous. I had been treated with amoxicillan two weeks before the last ABs. Thank You, ROD [|AI|] Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. You are having upper lobe infection and emphysema. Upper lobe infection is common with tuberculosis. You are not improving with two antibiotics (amoxicillin and levofloxacin) and still have coughing. So we should definitely rule out tuberculosis in your case. So get done sputum and BAD (bronchoalveolar lavage) examination for AFB (acid fast bacilli-bacteria causing tuberculosis). If both are negative then no need to worry about tuberculosis. Sometimes uncontrolled emphysema can also cause coughing. So you may need inhaled bronchodilators and inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) to control emphysema. So consult pulmonologist and discuss all these. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.

[|Human|] I have a decaying tooth, My internal medicine doctor put me on Amoxicillin 500 mg 3 times a day until I see my dentist tomorrow, but I have been told, that they cannot give me a shot until the swelling has gone down, it has been 3 days and on the inside below the bad tooth it has not any smaller. My doctor gave me 10 days of amoxicillin, so how can my dentist treat me since the swelling has not gone down, I am a diabetic and my blood pressure is a little high. I am on Medicaid, so it does not cover any dental, thats how my teeth got this way. what will the dentist do about the swelling inside on my gum, which is below the bad tooth? [|AI|] Hello there, Welcome to Chat Doctor, Amoxycillin is antibiotic that acts on gram positive bacteria. If the swelling does not subside with it alone start with amoxicillin calculate 625 mg two times daily and metro tablet once daily along with anti-inflammatory tablets. This medication should definitely help subside the swelling. Swellings seen in the oral cavity can be of various types. They can be infective lesions related to tooth like periodontal abscess or gingival abscess Chat Doctor. Lumps are also formed due to being or malignant swellings of the jaws. Cysts of the jaws, related to tooth or bone may also lead to swelling. Exact diagnosis can be made only after clinical examination and evaluation by taking radiographs. I would suggest you to get and OPG radiograph done which will help in diagnosis and accordingly treatment can be planned. Consult an oral surgeon and get the examination done.I hope this helps, take care.

[|Human|] Hi,I have had a liver transplant for 2 years and my most recent ultrasound says,The hepatic parenchyma is diffusely coarsened and mildly heterogenous but without focal parenchymal abnormality. Can you tell me what this means? At the end of the results it says that there are no adverse features in relation to the transplanted liver. [|AI|] Hello Diffusely coarsened and mildly heterogeneous echo texture of liver may be due to liver parenchymal disease. Normal echo texture of liver is homogeneous. Besides clinical correlation, you need investigations like routine hologram, random blood sugar, complete liver function test, urine RE/ME, lipid profile. It is good that there is no focal parenchymal abnormality, it could be a grave sign in transplanted liver. Get well soon. Take Care Chat Doctor.

[|Human|] Hi I am 14weeks now I have legs itching and morning sickness all day, please I am wondering what causes the itching and what is the best medicine for morning sickness ,Thanks in advance. [|AI|] Hello dear, i understand your concern. In my opinion the morning sickness is a routine symptom of pregnancy. Usually it disappears by 12 weeks but in a few women it might be there till 16-20 weeks. But as it can be controlled by medicines nothing to worry. The medicines used for sickness vary depending on the severity. They are dopamine, metochlorpromide, ondansetron etc. So depending on your condition one of these is prescribed. Take adequate fluids to prevent deny Chat Doctor. Avoid spicy and oily diet. Take food in small quantities every 2 hourly. Coming to itching it might be a non-specific symptom. It might be due to allergy. So better to take dermatologist opinion. Antihistamines like cetirizine might decrease itching. Best regards...
The conversation between human and AI assistant. [|Human|] hi i am 30 years old and my husband an i have been trying to conceive for 19 cycles now with no success. I was diagnosed with medullary sponge kidney 5 years ago and am wondering if this is causing us to not conceive. We have both been tested by fertility specialists and he was by urologist and we are both fine. Except this kidney disease and frequent uti s that i keep having. Your help and advise is greatly appreciated. [|AI|] Hello and welcome to ChatDoctorMedullary sponge kidney is genetic cystic disease of the kidney, and it has nothing to do with conception. The frequent episodes of UTI that you have mentioned occur in sexually active women. To avoid frequent episodes of UTI, pass urine after every act of intercourse. Chat Doctor. Add more citrus fruits to diet. In order to treat urinary tract infection, get an antibiotic prescribed by your doctor. Since both your and your partners fertility tests are normal there is some other reason for inability to conceive. Time your cycles for the period of ovulation by basal body temperature and cervical mucus examination. If not successful get checked for anti-sperm antibody in the cervical mucus if you haven't got it before. Thanks and take care

[|AI|] Strategy is a good medication for ADHD and can be given to your son. It takes a few weeks to see the full benefit so some doctors will continue the concert for the first month while building up the Strategy. The benefit if Strategy is that it also lowers anxiety, it lasts 24 hours so once a day dosing is enough, there are no rebound symptoms as seen with the stimulant medications, and it does not suppress the appetite as much. It might also allow you to stop the Risperdal, a medication which I personally feel should not be used for long periods of time and should be avoided in child Chat Doctor.

Mostly when she is stressed out. Just feeling like she is zoned out and not able to focus. She did not have these spells before the accident. She had a MRI and they say that it could be gray matter heterotopia. Can these be treated with medicine, will she be able to drive?. [|AI|] Hi, Thank you for posting your query. I have noted your daughters symptoms and MRI brain findings. The accident was incidental and is not the cause of her heterosocial or seizures. The seizures can be explained by the MRI finding of heterosocial. The treatment is medical in most people with this condition. Anti-epielptic Chat Doctor.

The main thing that we have to take care is of deny Chat Doctor. Prebiotic like enterogermina ampule should be given once a day for 3 days to increase gut immunity.

The conversation between human and AI assistant. [|Human|] I have excruciating pain behind my left shoulder blade. I first had this pain a few months ago & it lasted 4-5 weeks & then I just woke up one day & it was gone. It came back a week ago. I saw my Dr. on Friday- my blood pressure & pulse were slightly elevated due to the pain but it was still in normal range. My friend who use to be a message therapist worked on it to no avail. He said there s something there that didn t feel right. My Dr. said the same thing. My friend suggested that it might be a rib; however I find it hard to believe that a rib would cause pain that high up in my back. [|AI|] Hi Hope this message finds you in good health. I have gone through your complaints and understand your concern. U seem to have compressed a nerve in the neck somewhere that might be causing radiating pain in shoulder blade region. I suggest you get a X-ray of neck and that region as well as an MRI to find out the exact cause. Physiotherapy, analgesics,anti-inflammatory Chat Doctor. Nothing to worry about.

After going through your query I came to know that you are suffering from chronic backache. It may be lumbar spondylosis. Back exercises, Diapering, glucosamine sulfate neurotrophic such as methycobalamin and analgesics (DICLOFENAC) give relief. Avoid long continuous standing. Sit in a straight posture. You can discuss with your treating Doctor about it. I do hope that you have found something helpful, and I will be glad to answer any further query. Take care.

[|AI|] Hello rearward welcome to Chat Doctor.come have evaluated your query thoroughly.* Seems more in relation with sebaceous cyst over arm, boil or other cyst over the vagina.* Suggestions for better recovery - Keep the parts clean with antiseptic liquid.- Clotrimazole dusting powder over the local part.- Antibiotic assistance with your doctor for infection part.* Highly recommended attaching a photo pic for further guidance if possible and no objection.

The conversation between human and AI assistant. [|Human|] Hi,I have had a large painful bump in my left temple for about a week and also noticed a very painful lymp node yesterday, also on the left side (above the clavicle). I thought the bump in the temple was a spider bite, but now Im wondering if it could also be a swollen lymp node. [|AI|] Hi, Thanks for writing to Chat Doctor. Painful lymph node is suggestive of infection. You need to show it to a physician for a physical examination of the swelling and also to look for the site of infection. He may then start you on a course of antibiotics to control the infection. If even after that the swellings have not reduced then a needle biopsy of them will be needed to come to a diagnosis.

The conversation between human and AI assistant. [|Human|] I have a red rash that oozes a little bit and itch just a little and has a bad smell. It is located in the front between where my leg and groin meet. I just notice it. I think it came on suddenly because I remember it there this morning. I put some tea tree oil on it and it stings a bit. I read to do that on a blog where men with like symptoms talk about these kind of issues. My wife thinks it is a male yeast infection, so I am a bit confused. [|AI|] Hi, I have gone through your medical history carefully and can admit that from what you are describing, your symptoms are highly indicative for possible jock itch (yeast infection). You should consult with dermatologist to confirm it. In such cases, I advise my patients to :- apply gentian violet solution (antifungal solution) - after it is well absorbed, apply antifungal cream (containing Terminating), you can find it as over the counter Chat Doctor. For at least 2 weeks. Hope it helped!

I also got diclac 75mg that ive been prescribed a while ago for same reason.Thanks [|AI|] Hello, Combinig these medications may risk your chance of increased side effects. Both prescribedvmedications have pain reducing abilities. Constant 500 mg does list dental pain as a possible indication for use. It is not wise to use medication that had been prescribed for other conditions and stored for a long period of time. Realize that your toothache needs diagnosis and treatment. Most likely you will require an antibiotic to help control your pain and offer relief. Infections, left untreated, can become severe enough to require a trip to the emergency room. Do not delay and seek an emergency visit with your dentist. Thank you for your inquiry.
The conversation between human and AI assistant. [|Human|] Hi iam 25 years old girl i had a unprocted sex on the 4th day of my mensuration yesterday , how can I avoid being pregnant with out using pills is their any home medicine , does it got pregnant having sex on 4th day of mensuration or not ?plz let me know and throw away my tension thank you ? [|AI|] Hallow Dear, The egg is released 14 days prior to the next expected day of menstruation. Hence, considering your menstrual cycle to be of 28 days, it would be day 14 of the cycle (you can adjust the day according to your cycle periodicity). The egg has life of 24 hours while the sperms are active for 72 hours. Hence, the fertile period is about a week around the day of egg release, which would then be day 10 to day 18 of the cycle. Your had a sex on day 4 of your menstrual cycle which is far away room the fertile period. Hence, practically there is no possibility of egg being present on that day to cause pregnancy. For post-coital contraception, there are two scientific methods:1. Post-coital emergency contraceptive pill to be consumed ideally within 24 hours of but not later than 72 hours of unprotected intercourse. 2. Intrauterine device to be inserted within 5 days of the unprotected intercourse. There is no home remedy to avoid pregnancy after unprotected intercourse. I hope this helps you.

The is swelling far above the tooth where the gum and the cheek meet. I have no pain but the is area is very sensitive to touch and discomfort is felt when pressure is applied to the area. There is also swelling. I do not want to return to the endodontist who performed the root canal, as I have no confidence in him [|AI|] Hi, Thanks for asking the query, Pain and swelling can be due to re-infection of the tooth or due to food lodgment between the tooth and cap surface if the tooth is capped. I would suggest you to visit the Dentist and get an x-ray done, if necessary you can go for the pretreatment of the tooth or else you can go for complete mouth scaling and polishing. Take antibiotics and analgesic course under prescription of your Dentist. Take care!

MY obgyn changed up my birth control but as far as i can tell i feel worse. HELP [|AI|] Hi! Good evening. I am Chat Doctor answering your query. All the precautions including birth control pills are not 100% foolproof in protection against a pregnancy. If I were your doctor, I would go for a serum Chat Doctor determination followed by an ultrasound abdomen to rule this out. Only after ruling this out, I would further investigate you to rule out any other pathological process in the pelvic adnexa or in the appendix. Till that, you could go for an antispasmodic Chat Doctor. I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts. Thanks for choosing Chat Doctor to clear doubts on your health problems. I wish you an early recovery. Chat Doctor.

My jaw hurts and i feel like I may pass out. My left shoulder hurts but it has been bothering me all day. This has been going on for about an hour now. My legs have had some pain but feel numb. What should I do. [|AI|] Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. By your history and description, we should definitely rule out heart diseases like heart failure or angina first. So immediately consult doctor and get done 1. Blood pressure monitoring 2. ECG 3. 2d echo 4. Stress test (trade mill test). If all these are normal then no need to worry about heart diseases. Sometimes uncontrolled stress and anxiety can also cause similar symptoms. So better to avoid stress and tension, be relaxed and calm. Don't worry, you will be alright. But first rule out heart diseases. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.

Well there is always a chance to get pregnant when you miss pills, that is the reason why they have to be taken regularly and without delays. Anyway in your case, I don't think you are pregnant, from what I can tell you were suffering from PMS, that is what made you so emotional and was making you feel weird as well. Which would mean that you're bleeding now is because your period has started. Other than this, to be on the safe side I recommend you take a home pregnancy test as soon as possible, it is just a precaution, I doubt you are pregnant. I hope this answered your question.

[|AI|] Hello Thanks for consulting Chat Doctor I have read your query. As far as swelling in jaw near ear lobe is concerned this can be due to infection of wisdom tooth, inflammation of gums or due to temporomandibular disorder. Don't be worried so much I will suggest you to consult oral Physician for examination and evaluation. In meantime do warm saline rinses, maintain proper oral hygiene. You can take medicine like Amoxicillin with Metronidazole by consulting with local doctor. Hope my answer helps you.

What could be some of the reasons i am feeling the left side so strange? Thank you. [|AI|] Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor forum.

[|AI|] Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Omnacortil is oral corticosteroid. It is harmful in long term use (more than 2 weeks). So better not to give oral Omnacortil for more than 2 weeks. If he is not improving after Omnacortil, better to get done chest x-ray to rule out pneumonia.

It seems you have got local irritation to the cream (TRIAL) you have used. It called Contact irritant dermatitis. Nothing to worry as your skin will be fine soon. I would advise you a well course of oral prednisolone in low dose (5-10 mg). Apply a mild corticosteroid like demonize and antibiotic like music acid twice a day. After good quality moisturizer like detail DAM twice a day over full face. Avoid use of any cosmetics/face wash for few days. Avoid direct sun exposure and use water-based sunscreen before stepping out in sun. Hope this was useful. Take care Chat Doctor.

[|AI|] Hello, welcome to Chat Doctor .you seem hyper anxious to get pregnant. first be relaxed. The more get anxious the lesser are the chances of regular periods. I read your q properly. Yor periods are irregular since a year, so first stop all hormonal Chat Doctor. And let your periods come on whatever time its coming. 2nd thing is imp. Consider your 1st menses day as day 1. Now FRM day 10th to 20th are imp to have intercourse to get pregnant, follow this thing. 3rd thing. Try this schedule for about 6 months. Even then u don't get pregnant then undergo proper screening tests by consulting the infertility doctor. Do not use your own logics and relatives or finds. If u r under treatment for baby, then follow all instructions of your doctor only. Do pregnancy test only if u pass more than 10 days of your expected date (as your menses is a bit late) have patience. U can conceive till you are menstruating. Whnever you are pregnant, its elderly pregnancy so take care of it. Thank u.
The conversation between human and AI assistant. [|Human|] I have red bumps all over my legs and hip area... Basically from the waist down and it started with just a few around my knees and has spread over the past four days. I had my bed/room checked for bugs and the pest control said there was nothing here. I also have a three month old baby who sleeps right next to my bed in a bassinet and he has nothing on him at all. I haven t changed my soap or detergent or done anything different in the time since the bumps have appeared. They are different sizes, they itch only when they first appear and then again only if I scratch or touch them. It seems similar to a chigger bite but why would I be getting those at night inside my own home while I m sleeping? The bumps are raised, red and vary in size. [|AI|] HiT hanks for posting on ChatDoctorThe symptoms you describe sound like a skin infection of bacteria origin. Fungal skin infections are also possible. Other causes of such symptoms like local skin irritation are less likely given the evolution. I will suggest you try the following:-Take an anti-histamine like loratadine-A steroidal anti-inflammatory like Dexamethasone-Bath with an antiseptic soap or solution like Calif the symptoms persist, you see the Doctor for evaluation. I will also recommend good hygiene and advise your separate your things from the babies as most of these skin problems may be contagious. Always iron the babies Chat Doctor. Hope my answer will help you Best reads

[|Human|] My 82 year old mother (alzheimer) fell last night from a stool Mere inches....it wasnt a hard fall but soon after a lump formed on her behind on what would be the fatty part if she had fat. What could this be? She can walk...but it hurts to sit or lay a certain way [|AI|] Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor, The lump formed on the back could be due to trauma or the lump could have come into focus after trauma. A clinical assessment of the lesion is required. Relevant investigations are required to know the nature of the lesion. An aspiration cytology of the lesion is required to know the site, origin and nature of the lesion. After knowing the character of the lesion appropriate management can be done. Thanks and take care Chat Doctor.

The conversation between human and AI assistant. [|Human|] Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ? Please type your query here... I am 8 months pregnant. A toddler had spots on his bottom Wednesday just gone and has been diagnosed with hand, foot and mouth disease. Is my unborn safe from contracting this disease from taking my toddler swimming in the indoor heated swimming pool. [|AI|] Hi. If you contract the infection, you can transmit it to your baby shortly before birth and this can also be controlled or avoided if the medical team is a little more careful. But if you do not have it, and only your toddler has/had it, then there is little chance your unborn baby will get it. So it may be best to keep your toddler hospitalized, until he/she recovers completely, and avoid contact with him/her until he/she does. Best wishes.

The conversation between human and AI assistant. [|Human|] I had my appendix removed a couple of weeks ago. It was an uncomplicated surgery and I am recovering well except I am so dizzy ! It has been getting worse as the days go on, to the point I am so worried I will pass out! My bp spikes then I start getting dizzy. I ve tried breathing exercises and calming methods as I thought it could be some sort of anxiety or panic attack but it hasn t worked or helped at all. I m worried it is related to my recent surgery...or is it in my head? [|AI|] Hello! Welcome on Chat Doctor ! Your symptoms could be related to different possible causes: - chronic anemia- an inner ear disorder-panic attacks. Coming to this point, I would recommend first performing a complete blood count to exclude anemia (considering that you have gone through surgery lately). If this test results normal, I would recommend consulting with an ENT specialist for a physical check up and performing labyrinthine tests. It is also necessary checking your thyroid hormones, because thyroid dysfunction can trigger this situation. Hope you will find this answer helpful! Best wishes,

The conversation between human and AI assistant. [|Human|] my husband has tongue and neck cancer,he finished his last radiotherapy treatment about a month ago,he has had a scan on his neck abdomen and thorax ,results came back no evidence of collection,can you tell me please what this means as they seem to have found a nodule in his neck of which they have taken a biopsy really worried [|AI|] Normally tongue cancer is treated with surgery and if required to be followed by radiotherapy. Only in cancer of the back part of the tongue (called base of tongue) is radiotherapy (RT) the primary treatment. Even in that case, the radiotherapy is generally combined with low dose chemotherapy to enhance the effect of RT. The chemo is deferred only in cases where the patients tolerance and general condition are poor. If that is not the case, then I am afraid to say, but your husband has been under treated. As far as the nodule is concerned, there can be a number of reasons for the nodule, including infection or cancer. But since they have biopsied it, they must have thought it to be cancerous. Also, the fact that he has not been properly treated makes it more likely to be cancer. I am sorry to be worrying you more than you already are, but I'd rather tell you the truth. Wait for the biopsy report and keep your fingers crossed.
