The conversation between human and AI assistant. [|Human|] this is the first day of root canal, after coming back from doctors clinic once the initial sensation started i have unbearable pain , i have taken Katrol DT and dic+paracetamol tab together but no releif kindly suggest its 2 AM night and i dont know what to do [|AI|] Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query...the pain could be because of the tooth infection.the analgesics you are taking is enough for the pain to come down, but you have to take a course of antibiotic like penicillin and metronidazole...if the pain is unbearable then you can take intramuscular injection of an analgesic. I hope injection is not required.just take the analgesics what you are taking and consult your dentist in the morning... I hope my answer will help you.take care.

The conversation between human and AI assistant. [|Human|] I have a pain in my palms and shoulders from some days,I sit on the computer to do my work after sometime i get pain in my hands and palm.Are these symptoms relate to carpel tunnel syndrome [|AI|] Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor forum. As you describe, it is the pain after exertion. It may be the arthritis, in carpal tunnel syn Chat Doctor. I advise you to consult an orthopedic surgeon for diagnosis and treatment. You may need to have a C.T. scan for confirmation. I usually prescribe to my patient with such symptoms neurotrophic injections for 10 consecutive days, and then periodically, calcium supplements, and painkillers. Avoid taking potato, other tubers, tomato,egg, chicken, and and seafoods. Wishing for a quick and complete recovery. Thank you.

[|AI|] It seems you have severe bronchitis, Take acetaminophen with anti-allergic and decongestant combination, Steam inhalation, warm saline gargle, bronchi dilator like albuterol or albuterol puffs if not available may be oral and(I do not know which part of world you belong to, but your area is bacterial infection prone you must start with a broad spectrum anti-biotic) As such you are diabetic though under control you are more prone to infections which may have serious complications.

PLEASE LET ME KNOW SHOULD I CONTINUE THESE MEDICINES OR MAKE ANY CHANGE ? MY MAIL ID IS YYYY@YYYY . PLEASE ADVISE ME ACCORDINGLY. THANKS. [|AI|] Hi, thank you for providing the brief history of you. A thorough systemic assessment is advised. As due to diabetes the body is little slower than expected. The medication taken by you are to control the blood glucose levels in the blood there will be slowness in the metabolism. Which may lead to make you feel such heaviness. Usually there is nothing wrong with you except the slow metabolism. As time passes everything will be fine. RegardsJay In Chat Doctor.

The conversation between human and AI assistant. [|Human|] Hello, I have a two year old daughter who was born with Spinal Bifida and for the last past year she has been in and out of the hospital every other month with bad UTI s, high fevers up to 105.6 and her heart rate ends up going up to 220. about a month ago we were told that she has spinal tethering and fluid on the bottom of her brain pushing on her spinal cord and that she needed to have surgery soon. first they said within a couple weeks now they say they want to wait till the end of next month. well now she is in the hospital again with another UTI and High fever of 103-105 and her heart rate went way up to 220 and had hard time getting fever and heart rate down. We also had to start last month doing a cathider on her every four hours because her reflex doesn t work right and her urine flushes back into her kidneys. My big concern is can them waiting to do the surgery hurt her more or could her keep having these high heart rates and high fevers damage her brain and heart more? should I be worried and go get a second opinion? [|AI|] Hi sir, thanks for contacting us...first, plz don't be sad... I can understand what stress you would be going through...it's not easy to see our loved ones in so much trouble, n worrying s a part of it... 1. Your baby has spine problems which would be the primary reason for UTI, coz that causes abnormal bladder reflexes, leading to recurrent Otis..... (vicious cycle) actually 2. When ever there is fever, heart rate goes up and It's directly proportional.... Fever of 105 worries me, but jam not so worried the high heart rate now...so next time if you feel your baby is febrile (> 101 *f) I want u to do supportive measures like tepid sponging and paracetamol suppository (per rectal) 200 mg every 8 hrs and aim to KP fever down(high fever can affect the brain and trigger febrile fits, though not affect the heart usually)3. Uti here needs to be treated and so the doctors are right to wait, bcoz these are elective surgeries usually when it presents in this age and a month or so should be ok to wait. 4. High heart rates are worrisome if the child has a primary high rate problems without other associated issues like fever, infection etc.....we call it SVT (supra ventricular tachycardia) because that's the commonest, but your child has fever leading to high heart rate, so there is nothing to worry..., continue your care with same doctor and any further queries get back to us. Regards, Chat Doctor.

The conversation between human and AI assistant. [|Human|] I broke my ankle last year had surgery and physical therapy. But now I am having a problem with putting my feet flat on the ground. When I sit in a chair, my toes or heels are up. I have specially made shoes I wear all the time. My feet don t hurt. But I am worried they will start if I don t get this straightened out. What do I do? [|AI|] Hi! I am Chat Doctor and I will help you with your health issues as regarding your feet. The problem that you are facing post surgery is due to incisions made on the fascia and the tendons of your feet. There is an element of normal post surgical healing in which there is a centripetal contracture and this is called as the third phase of won healing. I would ask you to kindly feel relaxed and take Serratiopeptidase 50 mg three times a day to reduce the inflammatory response to surgery. I assure you that your feet will not begin to pain and even if they do so, they can be handled with NSAID painkillers and topical diclofenac or diclofenac gel. Furthermore, I wish you all the best, and you are free to ask me any private questions at www.bit.ly/ask Chat Doctor. Have a great day.

The conversation between human and AI assistant. [|Human|] hello .. i recently applied for visa to work in saduia arabia .. i had my medical check up .. nd the x-ray report came wth scar mark on my lungs .. nd the medcal center just gave me the conclusion that i am unfit for the job my question is .. is there any way i can b abel to remove these scar marks ?? plz help [|AI|] Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. No, there is no way to remove Scar marks from lungs. Actually Scar marks are old, healed, inactive lesions. They are basically dead tissue. So no treatment is required hence available for these scars. You should get done CT thorax and bronchoscopy. If both these are negative for active infections, you can't argue with visa authorities. 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.

The conversation between human and AI assistant. [|Human|] i fell yesterday flat on my right knee. I was able to get up and walk to my gate board plane and my knee later started showing discoloration over patella. Tenderness as well. I could still walk. It is bruised and tender. I can do leg raises flex and straighten. Possible fracture? [|AI|] Hi, Thanks for your query. From description, it seems to be soft tissue injury. You need an x-ray to rule out any bony injury. I suggest you to consult an orthopaedician nearby for a detailed examination. You may get the X-ray of the area affected under his/her guidance. Beside icing and elevating it, you can take anti-inflammatory Chat Doctor. I do hope that you have found something helpful, and I will be glad to answer any further query. Take care

The conversation between human and AI assistant. [|Human|] Hi,This gopi i am facing few years expectoration(flum) in my chest and Having flum heavily and i want to split every time it is different to normal flum it look in white color and when i take treatment it giving temporary relief not permanently. please advise to my problem. [|AI|] Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. We need to first find out the cause for your symptoms. So that appropriate treatment can be started. Bronchitis, chronic lung infection like tuberculosis, fungal infection etc. and bronchiectasis can cause similar symptoms. So better to get done 1. Clinical examination of respiratory system 2. Chest x-ray and CT scan of thorax to rule out pneumonia and bronchiectasis. 3. Sputum examination for AFB for tuberculosis. 4. PUT (Pulmonary Function Test) for the diagnosis of bronchitis. Treatment of all these conditions are different, so we need to first diagnose and then start appropriate, effective treatment. Hope I have solved your query. Wish you good health. Thanks.

The conversation between human and AI assistant. [|Human|] Hi, a few days ago, i popped what i thought was a deep under the skin ingrown hair on my vagina. I squeezed it really hard until i heard something pop underneath the skin. since then, that area is swollen and theres a lump. Should i be concerned? How do i get rid of the swelling and lump? And what do u think it is that i popped, because Im almost certain now its not an ingrown hair??? Thanks! [|AI|] Hi.based from your description, yes, it could be folliculitis. This usually occurs after shaving or when a hair is accidentally pulled out, and it gets infected. It could also be a cyst, or an inflammatory reaction which is starting to form an abscess. A consult with your gynecologist is best for clinical evaluation. Medical and/or surgical management will be directed accordingly. Hope this helps. Good day!!~ Chat Doctor.

The conversation between human and AI assistant. [|Human|] im 23 i have been recently experiencing pain in my stomach with diaherria and it hurts when i walk and cough right now i have a small cold with runny nose and sneezing . But the pain in my syomach seems to get worse after i eat. When i move the pain is almost unbearable. The pain is in the middle of my stomach until i cough and its right below my belly button can u help me? [|AI|] Dear Jessica, hello. Pain in stomach along with diarrhea may be due to intestinal infection that you are having. You should take antibiotic, antiamoebic along with antiemetic and antacids for your intestinal infection. You should take antihistamines for your cold and sneezing. It is advisable that you take the medicines only under medical supervision after getting yourself examined and investigated.

The conversation between human and AI assistant. [|Human|] Hey, I have been doing ab workout since 4-5 days..and today I pushed it hard like leg raises while laying down...n planks...now my lower abdomen is feeling pain n when I checked out I found that my testicles are feeling the same...what can it be?? Is it normal?? [|AI|] Hello, It seems that you have developed an abdominal muscle strain. It may have been caused because of excessive strain on the abdominal muscles due to the planks you have performed. I would advise you to apply ice pack on the affected area to reduce the inflammation. Also, alternate it with applying heat to help in muscle relaxation. Take an over the counter painkiller like Advil or Naproxen Chat Doctor. After you recover from the pain you can perform abdominal muscle strengthening exercises like curl-ups and pelvic tilts which are good muscle therapies. If the pain is not relieved or increases in severity, get yourself checked by a physician. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

The conversation between human and AI assistant. [|Human|] I have a 15 year old daughter who is having some issues for the last 2 and a half months now. it started with 1 lump on the side of her neck, which they gave her 2 rounds of amoxicilian, then went back to gp and he sent us for chest x ray and ct scan.

Went back to ent 1 week later for pain and 2 more lumps next to that one. He said it must be viral sent us backc to GP. Gp ordered more steroids and antiviral medication along with long list of blood work to be done. Blood work came back all good except alt/sgpt levels at 51 (normal below 35 they said).

The conversation between human and AI assistant. [|Human|] I have chest pain in my sternum when I walk briskly; if I keep on walking it goes away; should I be worried? I take aspirin, and half a hypertension pill and have a nitroglycerine spray. Which I just got today but have never used. Sometimes when I bend over the tub to turn on the taps the pains comes again. [|AI|] Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Possibility of musculoskeletal pain is more in your case, but better to first rule out heart diseases. You are already having hypertension and taking aspirin tablet, so we should first rule out cardiac diseases for your chest pain. So get done ECG, 2d echo and stress test (trade mill test). If all these are normal then no need to worry about heart diseases. Possibility of musculoskeletal pain is more. So take painkiller and muscle relaxant Chat Doctor. Avoid heavyweight lifting and strenuous exercise. Avoid movements causing pain. Apply warm water pad on affected areas. Don't worry, you will be alright, but better to rule out cardiac diseases first. Hope I have solved your query. Wish you good health. Thanks.

The conversation between human and AI assistant. [|Human|] tonight my 21 month old son was playing and all of a sudden stopped and started crying so i went over and picked him up and he just stopped and put his head on my chest then wouldnt move or look at me it was like he couldnt hold his head up or concentrate and i noticed he had his tounge pressed tightly againt the roof of his mouth. this lasted a few minutes before i got him to drink some water then he just came back into it and started playing again and seemed fine. he did almost the same thing about a month ago and i didnt think too much of it because he was sick and tired but tonight i cant understand why this happened again, any ideas? i plan to call his pediatrician first thing in the morning but would like some insight as to why this happened?? - Tiffany [|AI|] Hi.... by what you say I feel that your son has gone through a brief episode of complex partial seizures. the staring look and the pressing of tongue to the mouth are suggestive of this. But as this is a single episode and the first episode I do not think that you should worry and start on antiepileptic Chat Doctor. But definitely your son will require evaluation. I suggest you consult your pediatrician regarding this. Regards -

The conversation between human and AI assistant. [|Human|] Having chest pain and shortness of breath. I am 28 yrs old. I went to Urgent Care. xray showed a spot on the lung. Practioner said take no more Tylenol for pain so as not to mask symptoms. suggested either pneumonia or blood clot. I am not coughing. rx d Azithromycin for 24 hrs. If no relief go to the emer room. What do you think. I am a normally healthy non smoker. [|AI|] Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. In my opinion, you should consult pulmonologist and get done CT thorax with Contrast. Because spot on chest x-ray can be due to pneumonia, cyst, fibrosis, blood clot or early malignancy. CT thorax will give you exact idea about size, shape, margins and content of the spot. And all these characteristics are important in the diagnosis. So better to first diagnose yourself and then start appropriate treatment. Hope I have solved your query. Wish you good health. Thanks.

The conversation between human and AI assistant. [|Human|] Ok. I am still waiting on autopsy reports of my moms death on August 4th. Still nothing. & it s killing me All i know is that they said there was foam type stuff and blood coming from her mouth and nose. On her shirt she died in there is white stuff on her shirt as well as a few drops of blood. any idea what the white stuff and blood could be? [|AI|] Hello, Thank you for your contact to Chat Doctor. I understand your health concern, if I am your doctor I suggest you that white foam and tinge of blood from mouth is all suggestive of respiratory cooking. So most probably death is caused by respiratory choking. But other important parameter is also necessary to some up all the things together. I will be happy to answer all your future concern. Thank you, ChatDoctorInfectious disease specialist. Wish you the best health at Chat Doctor.

The conversation between human and AI assistant. [|Human|] My husbands BP rises when he doesnt have good bowel movement. He eats cereal and apples daily, drinks lots of water, walks and watches his diet. But he still gets constipated sometimes. Hes 54. He also gets anxious before going to a doctor, so his BP reading is never right and the doctor ends up giving him more meds. When his bowel movement is good, his BP goes down low, sometimes even under 120/80. He thinks he can cut som meds or at least cu dosage. Have you heard about or met any patient like ths? What do you advvise him t do? [|AI|] Hello and thank you for using Chat Doctor. I carefully read your question and I understand your concern. I will try to explain you something and give you my opinion. You should know that we talk about hypertension if we have mean value that exceeds 140 / 90 mmHg. A person might have high value during emotional and physicals trees so It's mandatory to judge on mean values. We deal every day with persons with resistant hypertension or with persons that get emotional high value during medical visits. This is a quite known issue in medicine, we call it white coat hypertension. This means high pressure values during medical contact because of high emotions. Gastro intestinal problems might affect pressure values. If a person experience pains it is normal ti have high values. So, if I was your treating doctor, to decide the correct treatment I would recommend some examination like a cardiac echo to evaluate heart function and walls, a full blood analyze to check renal function, electrolyte and the most important in this case a holder pressure monitoring to evaluate blood pressure values during day and night. Only after this we can better judge of mean values, exclude emotional component and have a full view how to treat hypertension. Hope I was helpful. Best regards, Chat Doctor.

The conversation between human and AI assistant. [|Human|] hi, im 21 and trying to conceive. I have normal periods, I ovulate every month(confirmed through temping my bbt), and I feel like i ve been trying close to a year. I have always been pretty healthy. No, we have not actually had a pre conception check up so I really don t know how good of a sperm count my fiance has yet. but my question is, I check my cervical position and have noticed in the passed that I have tiny bumps on my cervix. I googled it and it said cervical polyps. I heard it can hurt chances of conceiving, and I m just wondering if there are any home remedies I can do to get rid of them. Like I said, I don t always have them. Just feel them every now and then. [|AI|] Hello, and I hope I can help you today. The bumps you likely are feeling on your cervix are most likely Nathan cysts rather than polyps. Polyps are fleshy soft growths that are just out pouching of the normal glands that line the canal of the cervix. It would be difficult to feel them, and they usually cause irregular bleeding or bleeding after sex. They do not cause infertility (uterine polyps can, but those are not the same and are not possible to feel because they are inside your uterus. Nabothian cysts are just blocked mucus glands that can feel like knobby bumps on the cervix. They also are not harmful and do not interfere with fertility. Both of these findings on your cervix can be seen on a spectrum exam, so a GUN doctor would be able to tell you what you are feeling if they looked inside you. Also, regarding the position of your cervix, this also has no bearing on fertility and does not change from month to month, so you do not need to check your cervix regularly especially if you have a yearly gynecologic checkup. Regarding BBT charting for conception, your temperature goes up AFTER you ovulate, so I recommend not checking it anymore if you know around when you ovulate in your cycle and just have sex every other day from the time your period finishes until you feel premenstrual symptoms. Some women only have sex after their temperature goes up, and they miss the actual time of ovulation. So there is no reason to suspect you will have problems conceiving, and you do not need to be treated for this because it is a normal finding in many women. 80 percent of couples will conceive within a year. If you have been having sex at the right time and it's almost a year, it might be wise to have a GUN exam and a hormonal evaluation, and also have your fiancé get his sperm count checked, as 50 percent of the time it can be a male factor. I hope I was able to answer your question and that my advice was helpful. Best wishes and good luck with your pregnancy plans,

The conversation between human and AI assistant. [|Human|] 2 weeks ago this Monday, I had one lower wisdom tooth taken and both lower 2nd molars taken. Clots formed just fine without much pain. The white film has came off both extraction sites and they look like craters (excuse the crude term). Mild pain where wisdom tooth was, just feels irritated/sore from eating. Is it normal for the white clot to come off? Im paranoid that Ill develop a dry socket. I rinse often especially after eating. Am I far enough along now that I wont develop one? [|AI|] Hiaccording to the details which you have given me looks like Chat Doctor. When the healing in under process, there will be a soft tissue covering over the extraction socket. After the extraction there is formation of blood clot-then there is white color film- pink color tissue and finally the gum formation. Home care instruction:Avoid spicy food, it leads to irritationAvoid alcoholic and tobacco for a week not suck anything, like ice cubes, etc, it leads to dislodgement of the coracoid having food from the extracted site for2-3 days lukewarm saline mouth rinse 3-4/daily

The conversation between human and AI assistant. [|Human|] I just had a CT and it said tMild scarring is ween at both lung bases with interstitial prominence. This is more prominent of the right middle lobe. Mild biannual pleural thickening with interstitial prominence is noted. I also have a 3 mm pulmonary nodule in the right lower lobe that they want to watch for one year. I think i am more frightened about what is the interstitial prominence than the nodule at this time. [|AI|] Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Your CT picture is more suggestive of early interstitial lung disease (OLD). Better to first get done PFT (Pulmonary Function Test) to know if any restrictive lung defect present or not. Treatment for OLD is as follows. 1. Avoidance of smoking if you are smoker. 2. Avoidance of chemicals, fumes, dust at work place if you have this exposure. 3. Start bucolic, expectorant and antioxidants Chat Doctor. 4. Start anti-fibrotic

[|Human|] Hi i had white discharge coming out of my pennis and pee frequently and litle caind of hot burning sensation when pee. 3 weeks ago i went to STD clinic they test me for cifilis clamidia gonorrea and came negative, they gave me a shot for gonorrea and two pills of Azidhromycin and i was ok for to weeks after treatment then i have sex whit the same person again my girlfrien and everiting came back againg white discharges pee frequently hot sensation when pee and pee very frequently what can it be? [|AI|] helloThanks for query. Getting repeated discharge after having sex with same female partner is strongly suggestive of she's having vaginal infection. Please get your routine urine test, urine culture and culture of urethral discharge done to find out the organisms causing this infection and antibiotics to which they are sensitive to. Please take broad spectrum antibiotics like Definite along with urinary antiseptic like Nitrofurantoin twice daily and urine alkalizer thrice daily. Later on switch on to appropriate antibiotics as per culture report. Ask your female partner to get examined by a qualified Gynecologist and take necessary treatment. Get the prescription of medicines from your family Physician. Ensure to Chat Doctor. To keep your urine dilute This will help to control dysuria.

The conversation between human and AI assistant. [|Human|] Hello about one month ago I felt a lump in my left breast. I felt it about a week or so before my period so I thought maybe its because of my period. After my period it decreaed a little but its still there. I shoyld also let you know that about a year ago my right breast was hurting terrible and hurts whenever I m closed to my period. I visited my doctor and after doing various test he said that I had benign breast cancer but not to worry about it. I do drink a lot of green tead because I noticed whenever I drink it the pain in my right breast seem to disappear after a while. I will however like you to tell me what you think about the lump in my left breast. Added to that the partition where my left breast separates from my right hurts a litttle whever I pass my figures there. Can u please help me Thank you very much [|AI|] Hi.1. What you are having (I would not use the term suffering from) is called benign modularity. This is a common problem having a hormonal basis and there is nothing to worry about. 2. Now I will tell you the way to feel your own breasts to confirm benign modularity. If you pick up the breast between the fingers, you will feel a big firm mass (even normally). And if you feel the breast with the flat surface of pulp of your fingers with gentle rotating movements, you will not feel that firm mass which you felt earlier; instead you will perceive a granular feel (similar to the feel of a gunny bag filled with grains like rice for example). The granular feel suggests benign modularity. 3. Remember while feeling the breast with the flat surface of pulp of your fingers if you feel a firm or a hard mass (irrespective of its size), then it is a cause for concern, and you must consult a surgeon at the earliest. 4. Regarding pain overlying the breast-bone, well, it has nothing to do with the breasts. Such pain is usually self-limiting though it may take some time (maybe months) to disappear. Try some simple symptomatic treatment like local application of a little Index (or any other similar ointment) followed by hot fomentation. In short, at present, you have nothing to worry about. Thanks.

The conversation between human and AI assistant. [|Human|] Im suffering from post traumatic stress disorder and my doctor has prescribe me ativan sublingual at half a dose-im very sensitive to medication- it worked for a couple days, but Im continuing to have panic attacks particularly at night. They vary in severity the last two nights were god-awful I thought I was going to faint. A family friend of ours who is a doctor said the most I should take is 2 before bedtime. I got a bit of sleep but woke up with a panic attack took another pill it didnt do anything so here I am writing to you [|AI|] Degree understand your concerns went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. PTSD is a stress disorder. Prolonged stress or stress related to trauma made some alterations in your neural schema and the new alterations became a habit for your body. You need to cultivate new positive schemas to overcome the old habits. Psychotherapy helps in streamlining mental function and balance. Meditation and yoga helps you in thought engineering. Consult a psychotherapist for more. In any case, recovery should take at least 6 months. 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 the needed psychotherapy techniques which should help you cure your condition further. Hope this answers your query.

The sticky fluid you are referring to is pre-cum or pre-seminal fluid, which acts as a lubricant during sexual intercourse. That is normal and natural. Nothing to worry. Premature ejaculation could be due to anxiety or stress or while having sex for the first time. You may have to consult a psychologist for counseling. Nocturnal emission is a normal act of body and you don't have any control over it. There is nothing to worry about that too.

The conversation between human and AI assistant. [|Human|] I have a patient here at my facility, 18 y/o male, pre exsisting dx of bi polar disorder and adhd. He has not been on his medications in over 3 weeks. He could not tell us what he was taking before then. He admitted to smoking an unknown amount of the synthetic k2 that was homemade by some friends of his. He said he didnt know what was in it or what it would do to him. We have him on an emergency detention order until a crisis center has an available bed. He has progressivly gotten worse over the last 24 hours. Today we obtained orders for Haldol 10 mg, 100mg benadryl (initial dose), and 0.5mg ativan. This did not phase him in the slightest. He became very aggresive and ended up having less leathal force used against him. After he had calmed down from that incident we obtained orders for 2mg Ativan IM, this has slightly calmed his aggression, however he is still in full blown psycosis. I have been monitoring his behavior since the injection, and he is having very brief moments of clarity, then right back to the delusions. Is there anything else that you suggest we try? [|AI|] Hello, Thanks for using healtcaremagic. From the available description it seems to me that he is currently in delirium probably due to some medical illness or due to smoking some unknown substance. I will prefer him to continue on the low dose of haloperidol and request you to obtain a EEG report as soon as possible. Rather than over medicating using the lowest possible dose will be in better interest of the patient. I hope I am able to answer your query. If you have any questions feel free to write back to me. Thanks

The conversation between human and AI assistant. [|Human|] I thought I was pregnant because my menstruation came late but now its on and I have orange colored blood but I noticed mucus mingled with it but prior to my menstruation coming on I have been discharging a lot but it has no odor and its clear could I be pregnant with my menstrual cycle on because thats really the only time I discharge alot [|AI|] Hallow Dear, Probably you are suspecting bleeding due to abortion. It is likely. Heavy bleeding after delayed menses may be due to process of abortion - it may be threatened abortion or incomplete abortion. Please get your ultrasonography done. If there are any products of conception visualized in the uterine cavity, you are in process of abortion. If the cervical opening is closed and complete baby is seen in the uterine cavity, you are having threatened abortion. If there is no pain in abdomen, it can be managed by bed rest and some Progestational preparation like Austen. If the products are partly seen and/or the cervical opening is open, you are either having inevitable abortion or incomplete abortion. Then the uterine cavity will have to be evacuated. If you are not pregnant at all, the bleeding could be due to hormonal imbalance. Blood examination for FSH, LH, Estrogen, Progesterone, T3, T4 and TSH will throw some light on the cause of such bleeding. Please report to your Gynecologist.

The conversation between human and AI assistant. [|Human|] I have noticed unexplained bruising on my thighs (currently a total of 5 bruises). I have tested with a positive ANA (low positive) and have suffered from muscle pain and fatigue for the past 5 years, with no firm diagnosis. I also have had unexplained blood in my urine, but have had a full work up on my bladder (CT and cystoscopy), with no material findings (my mother also has this). A full CBC run just a few months ago was normal, except for the ANA. I have also tested postive for the Smith antibody and am positive for MTHFR. Is this bruising possibly related to an auto immune condition? Does the MTHFR have an impact? I am not on any medication, but do take a B12 and folic acid daily. I also took a very small dosage for predisone about 4 weeks ago, to help relieve inflammation from a back injury (twisted too much in yoga). Not sure if the predisone could cause bruising so much later? [|AI|] Hello.thanks for using Chat Doctor .autoimmune condition can cause bruising by platelet destruction. But since you had one episode of blood in urine, i will recommend you to consult hematologist. He may advise you to go for complete coagulation assay.since you are positive for MTHFR you should take active form of folic acid like l-methyl folate.it is less likely that steroid causes bruising so lately...hope I have answered your quarries satisfactorily.have a nice day ahead.

The conversation between human and AI assistant. [|Human|] I am 48 years old,. I feel severe pain some time at ribs joint when breath in and out deeply. I am HLA B27 positive. I also feel pain back bone. I am residing at Ambala Haryana India. Please advise me how can I get the best and cheap treatment and which doctor should be consulted. [|AI|] Hi, HLA B27 positive with pain over the backbone and on respiration is suggestive of an autoimmune disease called Ankylosing spondylitis. It is characterized by restriction in movement of ribs and backbones. The treatment is best given by a rheumatologist or a medical physician as well if you do not have access to a rheumatologist. The treatment is started once the diagnosis is confirmed based on a medical checkup and blood investigations and the medications have to be taken lifelong. It is important to take medications to prevent later complications like arthritis of the joint and to increase life expectancy. So better to start treatment for this early. 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|] Hi my friend had a PTB 7 years ago but already had taken his medication. When he had his x-ray AP view , 2 weeks ago,, theres a fibrous something on his right upper lobe. The impression said its PTB. Could he still have PTB or it was just a scar? Thank you! [|AI|] Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Since your friend had tuberculosis in the past, possibility of scar tissue on recent x-ray is more. Tb lesion heals by either fibrosis or calcification. And it appears as scar tissue on chest x-ray. This lesion appears as it is for lifelong. So possibility of scar lesion is more in his case. But at the same time, tuberculosis can reactivate and cause active tuberculosis in the same lesion. So if your friend is symptomatic (fever, cough, weight loss) than better to get done sputum examination for AFB and CT thorax. If both these are normal for active tb lesion than no need to worry about tuberculosis at present and his x-ray is showing scar tissue only. Hope I have solved your query. Wishing good health to your friend. Thanks.

The conversation between human and AI assistant. [|Human|] I ve had a cough and shortness of breath for over a month. I ve taken antibiotics, cough medicine and also Neb treatments, nothing seems to be working for me. The Dr s I ve been seeing keep telling me it will go away, but I don t seem to be getting any better. [|AI|] Hi thanks for asking question. Do you have done your chest x-ray??? Do you have smoking history??? If you are smoking then bronchitis or emphysema like condition has to be ruled out. Chest x-ray and pulmonary function test useful for it.Sometimes you can have allergic bronchitis like condition to particular substances. Blood may show eosinophilic. Allergen test can be done. If you are working in some high risk occupation like textile industry or coal mines then chances of asbestoses like condition ruled out. Chest x-ray useful for it. Examine your sputum if weight loss present, to rule out tuberculosis. Chest x-ray also useful. Rule out cardiac problems if suspected as cardiac failure or pulmonary hypertension like condition can lead such problem. ECG or ECHO.useful for it.Finally, if x-ray showing interstitial lung disease like suspicion then pulmonary function test done. Also rule out atypical pneumonia by chlamydia or cytoplasm like organism by x-ray and other investigations. Osha root, peppermint oil, oregano are good herbal remedy. I hope my suggestion will be helpful to you. Take care

The conversation between human and AI assistant. [|Human|] Hi. I got married before an month.my period has been delayed for 10 days. We both have planned for kid only after an year. Am I pregnant? If i have lots of papaya and pineapple, is there an chance to get my period regular? please help. I really don t want to get conceived now. [|AI|] Welcome to Chat Doctor Have you been having irregular cycles. Delayed periods could be due to many reasons like stress, hormonal disorders as well. Anyway get a Pregnancy test to rule out pregnancy. If the test is negative for pregnancy you need to get yourself evaluated by Gynecologist for hormonal disorders. Usually for such hormonal disorders, you would be out on oral contraceptive pills to regularize your cycles, but this is not the treatment for every case as specific management is warranted in certain conditions. Try to do relaxation exercises like Yoga, Panama. Avoid stress at work or home, try to relax more. Eat plenty of fresh fruits and green leafy vegetables. Chat Doctor. Exercise every day to keep fit and for good stress relief.

The conversation between human and AI assistant. [|Human|] The top of my right hand has been swollen for 4 weeks now. 3 weeks ago it was x-rayed to make sure it was not broken. Since then I have been on Naproxen and Codeine with a splint on my hand. It has not changed and now my thumb tip is numb. I do have Parkinson s could this be a symptom? [|AI|] Hello, Parkinsons disease is not commonly related to swelling of the hand. The swelling is related to accumulation of the liquids, usually due to an infection. I suggest doing a complete blood count for further evaluation to detect an infection in the system. Meanwhile, I suggest using anti-inflammatory medications such as Naproxen to relieve the inflammation. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

The conversation between human and AI assistant. [|Human|] Hi My Name is James. I am a SE. I was weighing normal during my childhood day, until my 10th Grade , where i started gaining lot of weight. And now, i am 27 yrs weighing about 145 Kgs. I seriously need some sort of assistance to help me reduce my weight. My Hands and neck are same as a normal being. But by chest , tummy and thighs are way too abnormal. My body fat is like a water bed :-). I try to do walking on a manual treadmill , but i cannot do more than 5 min on it. I have slight breathings problems. I user the inhalers to suppress the problem. I was so frustrated that i will need to go in for a surgery . But i also know that , something not normal is always a problem in the future. Can you pls guide? Thanks James [|AI|] Welcome to Chat Doctor, Is that sudden weight gain? Please do the thyroid tests and take treatment for that, try to do breathing exercise (consults physiotherapist), avoid all junk food, chocolate, ice cream, fried food. Include Salads, fruits, raw vegetables like carrot, cucumber, whole grain products. And you can go for liposuction, but before that collect all information about side effect of liposuction then you can do the surgery.

The conversation between human and AI assistant. [|Human|] hi i am a single mother of for youngest six months old and still breastfeeding, i suffer from asthma i am on a purple and a blue inhaler. Now 12 days ago i was helping the kids school by looking after the chickens , on the Monday i started coughing and have done ever since i am finding that i am getting out of breath very fast with the least little thing i do and i am exhausted after every fit of cough i get into, I am finding that tacking my inhalers are not helping and i was wondering if there was anything i could do to help myself get any better [|AI|] Hello, Thanks for the query to H. C.M. Forum. Since you are an established case of asthma, so you have to increase your stamina, so that you can overcome your disease. As inhalers not working, so after consultation with a physician, take antihistamine + bronchodilator. I usually prescribe Montelukast + albuterol to my patients and results are very nice. Rope jumping is the best exercise for you for stamina enhancement. If stamina increases, lung capacity will increase, and you will be able to face an asthmatic attack with ease. Hope I have answered your question. If further any question I will help. Get well soon.

The last ten months I have had a terrible feeling of dread and severe anxiety that last for 10 to 12 hours consistently. It has now started to include irratation and crying. I had a hysterectomy when I was 39 and I am now 53..I still have 1 ovary. I also have depression that I am taking Wellbutrin (generic) for and this terrible dread started around the same time I started taking Wellbutrin. My best friend said it happened to her and her doctor just upped the dosage to 450 instead of 300 and the anxiety and iratation went away. Can you help me? [|AI|] Hi madam have gone through your question and understand your concerns. Based on history provided by you, I feel that your actually suffering from depressive disorder with associated anxiety symptoms. If I were your treating psychiatrist, I would advise you to stop alprazolam(Xanax) completely as it got high addictive potential if used for greater than one month. Regarding tablet Wellbutrin, recommend dose is 300 mg and maximum dose is 450 mg. But, going to maximize dose may arise new side effects like seizures. So, rather than increasing dose of Chat Doctor.

The conversation between human and AI assistant. [|Human|] I have a lump on the lower left side of my head. It hurts a little and the tenderness is now moving up behind my ear. It is also a little numb where it is tender. I was sick for about a week and a half and my cold is now almost gone. Should I be worried? [|AI|] Hello! Thank you for the query. If this lump has appeared during the sickness, most probably it is a lymph node. Please note that lymph nodes get enlarged due to infection as a part of autoimmune response. Such node is usually movable and rounded. It should not be a reason to concern. Such lump can be also an abscess caused by sebaceous cyst infection. This condition appears in the area where there was a lump before. Redness, pain and swelling of this area should be present. In case of abscess you need to consult a surgeon and have it incised. If it's a lymph node you may wait and see how it will be acting. Hope this will help. Regards.

The conversation between human and AI assistant. [|Human|] I am scheduled in a few weeks to follow up with my pulmonologist but I m scared. I had an abnormal chest CT about 8 months ago and it showed a few Bullae on my upper right lung. He said beginnings of emphysyma. Also, my left lower lung shows scarring/nodule (granuloma) from histoplasmosis. I used to live in Ohio Valley when I was young. Doctor thought everything was benign and not to worry and to have another CT in 6 months to compare. Since that time he retired and I m going to another doctor in a few weeks to follow up. My regular doctor had to order CT and I had that done about 3 weeks ago and am awaiting definitive results. They would only tell me that scarring appears the same but they mentioned in right lung opacities. Is that the emphsyma or something else entirely like cancer? I am really worried and no one will help me any sooner with diagnosis until info in a few weeks. They didn t give me any specifics about opacities. Any info you can help me with would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. I m 45 years old by the way, female, and history of smoking and Im trying to quit. [|AI|] Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your situation and problem. Opacity on chest x-ray can be due to pneumonia, nodule, cyst or malignant mass. But opacity word is not used for ballad. You are having opacity in resent CT at the same site where ballad were seen in previous scan. You are a active smoker. And so risk of development of malignant mass at the site of ballad is very high. So, you need to wait for the CT report and if this is mass than you need biopsy and histopathological examination to rule out malignancy. Quit smoking as soon as possible. It is not good habit. 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, I have regular cold/cough? After taking medicine it goes away for some time but again comes back in couple of week. Lots of mucus also comes out. Some time its very dark color. Some time due to lots of coughing even little blood comes in muscus. What should I do? [|AI|] Hi thanks for asking question. First long term repeated cough might be due to irritation by acid reflux simply. So if you have acid reflux or acidity history then omeprazole can be taken with preventive measures. Second you have mucus in cough so chronic bronchitis or bronchiectasis like condition has to be ruled out. Chest x-ray and spirometry useful for it. Third if prolonged cough with fever and difficult breathing present then pneumonia or Tb should be ruled out by chest x-ray or sputum examination respectively. Wish you good health. Chat Doctor.

When irritated with family stab my neck 20 to 30minute, lot of blood came out. He has suggested me to take Selfit ( sertonin). first 10days 50mg and gradually increased to 100mg now. [|AI|] Dear, We understand your concerns went through your details. I do understand. Serotonin supplements (Selfie) increase serotonin levels helping depression and other brain-related disorders. Your case is anxiety disorder. I see you also has suicidal ideation. Anxiety disorders are a category of mental disorders characterized by feelings of anxiety and fear, where anxiety is a worry about future events and fear is a reaction to current events. When a person fears about something now (which may or may not happen in the future) and if he does it repeatedly, it is called anxiety disorder. These fear provoking feelings are called anxiety, and it may cause variety of physical symptoms, such as a racing heart, restlessness, helplessness and shakiness. Treatment consists of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, lifestyle changes, relaxation therapy and meditation. Once you learn how to manage your anxiety yourself with the help of the above treatment methods, You will be cured. The process is a bit lengthy and could take any period between one year to 2 years according to the depth of the anxiety problem and the circumstances at which the patient lives. Keep the period of treatment in mind, prepare yourself to take up the treatment and consult a psychologist online or in person.

The conversation between human and AI assistant. [|Human|] I was high on marijuana and when i took a 500mg glucosamine sulfate tablet for my bulging disc, it went down pretty rough. It became very difficult to swallow and i had slight chest discomfort. I was scared so i started breathing fast. Its been almost 2 days now and i havent had any breathing problems. Im scared the pill is in my lung and it will cause future problems. I went to the ER and took an xray but i feel like xrays dont pick up capsules. Should i be worried? I feel like the doctor may have overlooked the seriousness of this problem and i feel as if theres something in my left bronchus. Or it could just be anxiety. Please help thank you. [|AI|] Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can u understand your situation and problem. In my opinion it is mostly due to anxiety. But since you are having high heart rate and breathlessness, we should rule out aspiration of foreign body (pill) in the bronchus. So consult pulmonologist and get done bronchoscopic evaluation to rule out foreign body aspiration. If this is normal than no need to worry about aspiration. It is mostly anxiety related symptoms. So avoid stress and tension. Be relax and calm. Consult psychiatrist and get done counselling sessions. Try to identify stressor in your life and start working on it.Don't worry much, you will be alright.

The conversation between human and AI assistant. [|Human|] Hi, i am anjali Mahindru. my age is 27. I got married 10 months before. after my marriage i am frequently suffering from stomachache in lower part. I got all my test i.e, ultrasound , urine & culture test but every time pus cells comes 20-25 and sterile after 48 hrs incubation at 37c. [|AI|] Hi. Thanks for your query. This must be due to recurrent UTI- urinary tract infections. This is common after marriage and usually starts as honeymoon- myelitis, meaning occurring after marriage. Since the length of urethra in females is very short, they can get infections frequently and easily. If the pus cells are present, but the culture is negative, one can think about tuberculosis as the commonest cause. . Both of you-meaning your husband also has to take medicines. Go for MVP and further investigations to rule out any other problem like obstruction in the urine out-flow. Visit a Urologist for a second opinion.

The conversation between human and AI assistant. [|Human|] Hi, I am a 30 year old female with a relatively clean health history and excellent blood pressure, other than a past history of depression. About 10 days ago I got out of bed with sudden dizziness that I couldn t stand straight, after that I started experiencing nonstop dizzy spells throughout the day with change of head positions. I have never experienced dizziness before this. Few days later my tongue started feeling fat and stiff, when I talk feel like I have to spend extra effort in pronouncing the words. Then last night when I was about to fall back asleep after getting up, I felt a sudden pain inside my right ear as if someone had kicked inside my head. The pain quickly went away then I turned to my body to sleep on my other side, seconds later I felt another strong kick inside my right ear. When I got up thus morning the pain on my left ear has almost disappeared, but I feel a persistent dull, sometimes tingly pain on the entire right side of my face radiating from the ear. I m now dizzy, talking funny, and has a hurting face. Please let me know what I should do? [|AI|] Hello! Thank you for your question. I understand your concern. I recommend you see a doctor, have a good physical examination, followed by a head CT Scan. In my opinion all the symptoms you describe may be related to a disorder in your right ear or the right cerebellum poutine angle. Something is wrong with your cranial nerves located there. It may be an infection inside your ear causing these problems. Herpes virus infection can also cause similar problems. But it may also be stroked a tumor, although less probable, by your history.

These are not moveable or painful but are eraser sized to quarter size knots. Not sebaceous cysts. What can they be? I am caucasion, 43 years old, 147lbs and in good health. [|AI|] Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You may have some enlarged lymph node. It can be due to reactive hyperplasia most likely. It can be some soft tissue mass or some cyst like lesion. You should take a course of antibiotics. If it does not respond to treatment then biopsy diagnosis is advisable. Hope I have answered your question, if you have any doubts then contact me at bit.ly/ Chat Doctor. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Wish you a very good health.

The conversation between human and AI assistant. [|Human|] So I am an 18 year old male, and I masturbate (surprise surprise) anyways, Today when I was finished i noticed that on the shaft of my penis a little lower than half way (so towards the scrotum) there was a red bump. I dont know if it is from friction or maybe a pimple or what. It is red, it doesnt hurt unless i pinch like popping a pimple but even then it doesnt really even hurt much or at all. It is on the right side of my penis. I masturbate with my right hand my hand makes contact with where the bump is. The part of the hand it touches is the palm right where the thumb starts to branch off the hand. There is only one bump and I have felt it and there is nothing hard underneath it, and there does not appear to be any puss on top. However I am scared because, 3 days ago my girlfriend of 3 months came over and we were naked and hugging each other and getting physical and are genitals touched but there was nothing more no insertion of any kind, and I just want to make its not an STD and just something from friction. It is on the top of the penis so her genitalia never, or should not have even touched there. Let me know if you need any more information. [|AI|] Thanks for contacting Chat Doctor with your health care concerns. You eye experiencing a lump on your penis at the base that is not very painful and does not appear to be infected. From your description this is probably a sebaceous cyst which are very common on the penis shaft and scrotum. This is basically an oil gland that is under the skin and can be irritated from rubbing or squeezing. I recommend that you lay off the masturbation for a while and this area should reduce in size. It may become irritated again with masturbation. You also have no need to concern over an STD because you did not engage in sexual intercourse. I hope this answers your question. Please contact Chat Doctor again with any of your health care concerns

The conversation between human and AI assistant. [|Human|] My wife, 35, is currently having sharp pains in her lower right abdomen . She said the initial pain started around 11:30 at night and has progressed ever since. The pain seems to come and go with stabbing like sensations during the most severe times. It does not appear to be sensitive to touch. She cannot get comfortable and says the pain appears to go across the middle of her abdomen when she sits up. She had an ovarian cyst removed 5 or 6 years ago, but has not had any issues since. Thanks for your time. [|AI|] Hello, Greetings from Chat Doctor .com I have gone through the case scenario of your wife and I do believe we need to rule out gall bladder pathology primarily for her though any pathology from intestine, liver, pancreas and heart may present in this fashion. I do believe she has to undergo an ultrasonography of the upper abdomen (please take a note-- the interpretation of the exam will depend exclusively on her preparation) to see if there is gall stones, sludge or muscle of gall bladder. Women in late thirties who are over weight and sometimes who are not over weight too can land up at the Emergency with pain in right abdomen either radiating to upper abdomen or the lower abdomen due to gall stones. Surgery is the treatment of choice for gall stones. Long term patients with gall stone may suffer from gall bladder carcinoma, so please do get an appointment with her physician at the earliest. Hope my information is useful to you. Take Care.

The conversation between human and AI assistant. [|Human|] Hi I went to urgent care today, haven t been feelin well. Extreme nausia, loose stools and headaches . A few months ago I had What I believed to be gallstones, the pain was severe but after an hour or two pain subsided so I never sought treatment, now I get dull pains upper right abdominal under rib, but not as painful as I had experienced before, I also had some blood in my stool for 2 days which has currently stopped. But I had a UA done about a month ago that came back with abnormal WBC when culture and sensitivity was done it came back negative. At urgent care today my Bloodwork came back fine but my UA showed 500 count leukocytes. I m going to have ct done of gallbladder . I am a 20 year old female , any idea what could be wrong [|AI|] Hi young lady, you do have both gastrointestinal and urinary problems from the information provided. The CT scan will give us some information about how your kidneys and gallbladder look. Are you having any white discharge per vagina which is contaminating the urine? Infection of the urinary tract is the most common cause of pus cells in the urine. Repeat the culture. If repeated cultures are negative and there is no kidney stone on CT scan, you will need tests to look for causes of Sterile Syria. Blood in stools is not due to gallstones nor urine infection - it needs further assessment. Most commonly it is due to hemorrhoids (piles), but a doctor (surgeon/ GP) should examine you to confirm or negate this.

The conversation between human and AI assistant. [|Human|] hi, my boyfriend dislocated his knee 4 weeks ago, and found out today he has also damaged all of his ligmaments, they took the cast off but his knee is in a brace for the next 7 weeks .. we fly to turkey for a cruise in 8 weeks .. can u fly with torn ligaments ? [|AI|] Hello, If the ligaments are torn completely than a reconstruction of the same will be needed based on the MRI scan. Due to immobilization of the knee, there will be a reduced range of motion of the knee and needs to achieve the complete range of motion with the help of the CPM machine or the Physiotherapist. He can fly anywhere he wishes to without any much trouble but then as you mentioned that all ligaments are torn than I will advise taking an MRI and see what ligaments can be repaired or needs surgery to repair. Once his ROM is full and enough strength he can fly without much pain. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Jay In Chat Doctor.

Normally,I have this problem of likoria(no itch in the area) but for last three days ,I m observing thick white yellowish likoria.I have anemia ,taking medicine.l also have vitiligo slightly in my face ,I m taking medicines for that.I have a habit of drinking less water.do I have any infection / do I need to go to doctor for this problem(likoria) [|AI|] Hi welcome to ChatDoctorI have gone through your query regarding anemia and vitiligo. Dear, all your problems are outcome of increase in the levels of toxins in the body and poor eating habits. In other words , your low immunity is the root cause of all your problems. Anemia occurs because your body doesn't make enough red blood cells due to poor eating habits and faulty lifestyle. Bleeding causes you to lose red blood cells more quickly than they can be replacedYour body destroys red blood cells causing you anemia and anemia causing vitiligo, leuchorrhoea and others. Vitiligo is a disease in which the pigment cells of the skin, melanocytes, are destroyed in certain areas. Is also a lifestyle disease. Leuchorrhoea also known as vaginal discharge, is a very common condition that has been experienced by most women of all ages, at some time or the other. It is thick white yellowish color most of the time. Is mainly experienced during puberty, when sexual organs are developing in a woman. It can be very irritating and damaging if left untreated This is because the female genitals are highly prone to infections because they are moist and covered at most times. Moreover, women do tend to sweat a lot in that area, which increases the chances of infections and inflammation. Some of the most common causes are Anemia and Hormonal disturbances and increase in the levels of toxins in the body and poor eating habits. Modification in your lifestyle and food habits -including regular exercise, yoga, Panama and meditation for proper blood circulation and balanced diet having essential nutrients - fiber, Vitamins, minerals antioxidants in natural form - lemon juice, turmeric powder, honey, aloe vera juice, AMLA regular intake will help gain health in 6 months.

In most cases of acute hepatitis, no treatment is required. Just take enough rest, proper diet and fluid, glucose water, avoid alcohol and let your bodies immune system to fight with the infection. Repeat your SGPT levels and if it's on the decreasing side, then you are recovering and wait for few more days. In case you are diagnosed with chronic hepatitis, then you require few medications to avoid liver injury and transmission of infection to others. You require antiviral medicines like lamivudine.

The conversation between human and AI assistant. [|Human|] i hit my wrist on something I think my dogs paw she was welcoming me home. The area around the vein swelled up. I am doing the cold compress 15 on 15 off but should I be concerned about anything else. The swelling has gone down but the touch is sore to the touch [|AI|] Hi, thank you for providing the brief history of you. As you have this doubt about the mechanism of injury as the paw of the dog I feel this should be a muscular injury which led to swelling. Also depending upon how the paw was, and the pressure things can be understood better. Even if there are any tooth marks or such needs an examination. Swelling will be a protective mechanism and things should be fine in 3-7 days of time. Regards Jay In Chat Doctor.

The conversation between human and AI assistant. [|Human|] i found 5-6 bites on the side of my torso and they were very very painful. I felt a constant sensation on the side of my body like numbness but my skin was very sensitive to touch. At one point I had severe pain in my arm and some pain in the side of my breast . It eventually went away though I have dark areas where the bites were. All the symptoms disappeared after several weeks. Just 2-3 days ago I felt a painful itching sensation on the inside of arm in the wrist area. I thought it might be exzema flaring up on that arm. It turned out to be another bite. The bite began swelling , was very painful, discharge is clear. The skin around the bite looks as though several layers were destroyed as there is a round slightly sunken area. In the middle of this area is a bulge and is the source of the weeping. The area around the center is very angry and red. I found 5-6 hairs/splinters/something and I pulled them off and after that the pain lessened considerably and the skin began to dry out and looked like it might be healing . Now I think I might have a red streak on my arm. Help. [|AI|] Hi, Thanks for writing in. The symptoms that you have described are suggestive of a poisonous insect, tick or bug bite.

I was treated with Flagyl. 6 weeks ago I had a second outbreak, but milder. I now have white pimples inside my upper lip and ulcers in several places. My throat is also inflammed and there are a few spots on the back of my throat as well. [|AI|] Hello dear, Thank you for your contact to Chat Doctor. I read and understand your concern. I am Chat Doctor answering your concern. No, pimple is not caused by the Guardian at all. But mouth ulcer can be caused by it. Giardia stick to the intestine lumen and suck the nutrition particularly fat and vitamins related to it. So ulcer can occur because of nutritional deficiency. You should take the complete treatment for the Guardian. Otherwise, it will recur and cause infection again and again. It is transmitted by Eco oral route means either the food or water is contaminated with such parasite is consumed by you causing the infection to you. I advise you should maintain hygiene in the future otherwise contaminated food causes infection again. In order to combat such effect you should take multivitamin particularly the vitamin A and others. This will help to treat the ulcer.

The facial edema and weight gain will come down in 1-2 months, if it is not coming down you need to test your blood.

You can choose immunotherapy for treatment in longer run. Thank you.

[|Human|] I am having pain in my sight side more towards my back when I lay down I don t notice it as much when I am sitting or walking but at night it really bothers me I usually lay on my right side stomach and I have not been able to do that for about a week. [|AI|] Hello, Thanks for your query. After going through your query I came to know that you are suffering from muscular pain in your back towards right side. Treatment of it is rest and analgesics (diclofenac three times a day after meals). Muscle relaxant such as thiocolchicoside can be taken. Vitamin B-complex and vitamin C supplementation can be used to promote healing. Omeprazole decreases acidity due to analgesics. 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.

Yes, such tenderness may be sign of prolonged cystitis, and it should be better within 4 weeks of treatment.

In every case it should be treated with fluids intake raspberry tea and antibiotics. I hope I have answered you query. Kindly regards. Wish you a good health.

The conversation between human and AI assistant. [|Human|] hi,i want to know that is there any chance of my wife getting pregnant bcoz sheis getting delayed in her periods regularly upto 3-4 days.we have done pregnancy test negative and our doctor prescribed ovacet twice daily,i want to know is this medicines have any side effects and is this correct. [|AI|] Hallow Dear, It seems from the medicines that have been prescribed to your wife that she is having Polycystic Ovarian Syn Chat Doctor. In this condition, the eggs from the ovary are trapped within the ovary and they're not released; hence any cysts are formed. This leads to irregularly delayed heavy menses with infertility. This condition also is characterized by high insulin and high male hormone levels. Due to this, there is obesity, hair on unwanted areas like face, chest, abdomen, legs, etc. Medicines like Metformin and/or MYO inositol help reduce the levels of these hormones. For achieving pregnancy in such cases, some medicines have to be given for releasing eggs from ovary (induction of ovulation). To start with, usually Camphene citrate is used. This medicine can be used for maximum 6 cycles. If it fails to give desired results, BMG/Chat Doctor combination may be tried. Concomitant use of Metformin and/or MYO inositol give better results to Camphene citrate. Valet Tablet contains L-Methylfolate, Myo-Inositol, and Vitamin D3 as active ingredients. Therefore, it helps to achieve ovulation by Camphene citrate and usually does not have any ill side effects. However, this medicine should be given along with Camphene citrate. In addition to the medicines, please pay attention to her weight and BMI. Please maintain her BMI under 23.9.

If it is very much sure that it is fungal infection then renovate will not help. You need to use Candid-B cream twice a day for 2 weeks. It will take care of Itching also. The best would be to consult a Physician or a dermatologist and confirm that it is really a Fungal infection. Hope this information was useful to you. Any clarifications feel free to ask.

The conversation between human and AI assistant. [|Human|] I have a small lump under my chin. I did not notice it until I a few hours after I screamed as hard as I could a couple of days ago.

[|AI|] Dear patient Intermittent back pain for last one year and not relieved with Chat Doctor. This needs to be investigated with X-ray of lumbosacral spine anteroposterior and lateral views to rule out bony abnormalities. MRI of lumbosacral spine anteroposterior and lateral views is also required as it gives detail information about disc and nerves and even bones. Visit radiology center nearby you and get it done.

The conversation between human and AI assistant. [|Human|] I feel like theres a bubble in my heart sometimes and Ive been out of breathe a lot lately. I had to stop going to the gym bc my heart rate was too high and now anytime I simply get up to walk to a class, my heart races and I get light headed. Im only 21, whats wrong with me? [|AI|] Hello and thank you for using Chat Doctor. I carefully read your question and I understand your concern. I will try to explain you something and give you my opinion. You should know that this bubbling sensation has to do with a rhythm issue. There are some electrical impulses that generates in some part of the heart different from normal sinus rhythm. They cause a premature heart contraction that it's not a normal one. It might be just an extra systolic beat or a chaotic arrhythmia. In these cases you might experience palpitation, flattering or bubble sensation, anxiety, difficulties in breathing deeply, dizziness etc. There might be different causes of this rhythm issue like simple stress, coffee and alcohol consumption or pathologies like anemia, hyperthyroidism or electrolyte imbalance. So, if I was your treating doctor I will recommend some examination like an electrocardiogram, a cardiac echo to evaluate heart function and walls, a full blood analyze to exclude anemia, hyperthyroidism and of course a holder rhythm monitoring to evaluate your rhythm tendency. Only after this we can better understand what we are dealing with and how to treat it. Hope I was helpful. Best regards Chat Doctor.

The conversation between human and AI assistant. [|Human|] my son is suffering from nasal drips and running nose, has a fever and cough. He is taking medications alre ady, but i have noticed he has a loose stool with little threadlike bloods. He has a history of amoebiasis when he was 3 months..he is now 1 year old and 5 months.Could it be that he is suffering again fron amoebiasis or just because of his running nose? [|AI|] Thanks for asking on Chat Doctor. Generally the conditions are caused due to certain viruses and are self-correcting unless associated with bloody diarrhea. If the stool is blood stained, it is more likely to be caused due to invasive bacteria like Shell and certain variety of E.cold. Amoebas is a condition caused by certain parasites like Amoeba or Guardian. These are less frequent. In fact, viral causes are more frequent but are unlikely to be associated with steaks of blood as in this case. It is unlikely that unless backed up with definite investigation that the previous cause was amoebic (since other causes are more likely). Even in case it really was, chances of it being due to the same cause is very low. Runny nose, fever and cough are likely to be unrelated to the cause of blood streaks in stool. It is generally due to certain viruses. Runny nose would not cause bloody stools.

The conversation between human and AI assistant. [|Human|] I work for a hospital and get EKGs annually. I am 48 and a little over weight. Not taking any meds or OTC drugs except for Prilosec. The last couple of nights I have had MAJOR heart pulps, flip flops etc. Last night was the worst...lasted about 20-30 minutes without easing. I was finally able to fall asleep. This morning I woke up and my chest was sore (stiff feeling). I had my GP order a EKG and this time it showed some PVC. My doctor does not seem concerned. Told me to continue the Prilsec and start taking an asprin a day. This is not normal for me and starting to get worried I may have another night tonight like last night. What are your thoughts. [|AI|] HelloWelcome to Chat Doctor. By Heart pulps, flip-flops etc. I suppose you are talking about palpitations. Palpitations can be caused by extra beats or PCs. It can also be caused by thyroid abnormalities and anxiety. These are the three most important causes of palpitations. Other causes are also there but are not considered here. As you have described your ECG shows PCs or extra beats. PCs are usually incidental findings in many subjects and usually require no treatment. However, if you are having symptoms like fainting, dizziness, breathlessness then they should be evaluated. Since you have not mentioned any of the above symptoms, I suppose they don't trouble you. Therefore, I recommend you a thyroid profile. If you still have persistent nagging flip-flops or palpitations, then a 24 HR Holder monitoring can be done. In this test a device and some wires are attached to your body (below your clothing) and you are sent home. The device constantly records your ECG while you do your normal day-to-day activities. After 24 hrs, the readings are checked. It will document the number of PVC's you have, their character, morphology and whether they are life-threatening or can cause complications. Please do a thyroid profile and a Holder monitoring (only if persistent symptoms) and revert with results. Wishing you good health. Regards

The conversation between human and AI assistant. [|Human|] My little boy is 8.5 months old and for the last 3 days his stool has been like mush, kind of green, and smells very acidic. When you first smell it you would think it was vomit. We have yet to experience this and are not sure what might be the cause? [|AI|] Hi...this looks like viral diarrhea. Once it starts it will take 5-7 days to completely get better. Unless the kids having low urine output or very dull or excessively sleepy or blood in motion or green bilious vomiting...you need not worry. There is no need to use antibiotics unless there is blood in the motion. Antibiotics might worsen if unnecessarily used causing antibiotic associated diarrhea. I suggest you use zinc supplements (Z&D Chat Doctor.

The conversation between human and AI assistant. [|Human|] I had lower spinal fusion surgery about ten tears ago. a couple of weeks ago my back started getting painful in the area of the operation. it has become progressively worse each day tot the point that it takes a half hour to feet out of bed and I m able to walk with great pain.I don t know what kind of doctor I should consult. I don t want more surgery [|AI|] See acute back pain can be of due to many reasons, it may or may not be related to your previous surgery. But pain is severe and also radiating to your legs or thigh, you might need some investigations for that you can again consult to orthopedics surgeon. Check your lifestyle too-daily bike or car Chat Doctor. Don't be afraid, but just visit the nearby hospital so that your doubt gets cleared by some investigations.

The conversation between human and AI assistant. [|Human|] Hi, a month ago I had tonsillitis and was given antibiotics. I then got a funny taste and white tongue, Dr said suspected oral thrush but treatment did not work, even fluconazole. My tongue is still white will not brush off and is sore, I seem to be getting a lot of mouth ulcers (I do get these sometimes but this is more often) and inside my lips and cheeks sometimes looks red or almost stings. What could this be? Swab that Dr did for thrush I think came back negative [|AI|] Hello, Welcome to ChatDoctorIf the KOH smear for fungus was negative, and the lesions did not respond to Fluconazole, then it is not oral thrush. When you are on antibiotics, it also destroys the friendly bacteria which are involved in maintaining the health of the mouth. The fissure of the angles of the mouth is suggestive of Riboflavin (a B vitamin) deficiency. Please take B complex vitamins and a multivitamin for other subclinical deficiencies and your oral health ought to improve. Take Care Chat Doctor.

The conversation between human and AI assistant. [|Human|] Dear Mr.Malpani, I have been married for 1.9 years and me and my wife are trying for children from last 1 year. I am just concerned about my sperm count as its around 26 Million and it varies from 24 to 28 million all the time. I have been taking medicines like Fertyl M, Oligocare, Folvite and Zincovit. I was also advised to take Aquaurinon injection weekly once. After continuing the above treatment for 4 months my count has been still the same. Our family doctor says that i need to have atleast 40 to 60 million count to conceive. She feels there might be some hormonal problem that she has to check. Following are the details of my semen test report: Quantity - 4 CCColour - WhiteAppearence - HybridViscosity - NormalReaction - AlkalineTotal Count - 24 Mil CCActivity Motice - 50%Non Motive - 30% Do you think there is something wrong in me ? My wife has a proper menstural cycle and the egg also releases properly. Earlier our doc said 20 Million is sufficient but now she says i have to increase it to 40 to 60 million for IVF or any other thing to go on. So kindly suggest me what to be done, thank you. Regards, Farooq [|AI|] Hi, Thanks for posting in Chat Doctor. I have read your description and understand your concern. Based on the semen analysis report, the following things can be concluded. 1. Physical characteristics like color, appearance, quantity and reaction are normal. 2. Total sperm count is slightly towards the lower side than normal, but acceptable. 3. Sperm motility of 50% actively motile seems to be less than normal. Hence, the fertility index seems to be less than normal. However, what medications have been given is right, and it would certainly aid in improving the features of sperm quality and quantity. It can be known after a repeat semen analysis after taking the medications for a month or more. In case you are planning for Invited fertilization (IVF) procedure, sperm count does not seem to matter much but only requires sperms to be of good quality. In case you are planning for Intrauterine insemination (GUI) procedure, both quality and quantity of sperms matters. You can plan for the procedure according to your needs on consultation with your treating doctor. Hope the information provided would be helpful. All the best.

The conversation between human and AI assistant. [|Human|] I had severe pain in my left side back area last week. Lasted approx 5 hrs. My husband thought I had a kidney stone. I drank over a gallan of water and finally the pain subsided. MOnday I called my dr and she decided to have me get a CT. Today the diagnosisi so far is 1 swelled lymph node, she is order CT of abdomen, pelvis and some blood work. Other that that 1 evening of pain. I feel fine. However now I am so scared. Have you heard of a swelled lymph node from a passed kidney stone? [|AI|] Hello dear, Such a pain usually results from a UTI or renal/ureteric calculi. But these conditions usually will not cause lymph node swelling.a urine examination and USG usually clinch the diagnosis. The significance of your lymph node enlargement and its association with your pain is to be determined with detailed clinical and radiological assessment. Your doctor will guide you. Hope my answer will be helpful. Thank you.
