My son who is 8 ,has every spring a flare up with asthma and his condition starts to flare into pneumonia, his first attack he ended up in hospital with micoplasma, it appears to happen every spring as the same symptoms occur only last year we got him to the doctors early before things flared up. What is causing this , should I be concerned about his health? He does suffer enviornment allergies. | If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. | Hello. Thank you for asking at Chat Doctor. I went through your sons' history. From your history, I would suspect allergies first rather than repeated cytoplasm pneumonia infections. I would like to ask a few questions: At what age did his asthma symptoms started? Does he have symptoms only during spring or other part of year also? Is he on any regular medications? Do his symptoms start with fever or without fever? How, in every spring, cytoplasm pneumonia was diagnosed? Does he have allergic rhinitis? Does any of his family members have allergies/asthma? However, from your history, personally I would like to investigate him for allergies to air-borne allergens. Depending upon the reports of the allergy testing, he may be advised avoidance measures and allergen specific immunotherapy if indicated. So my personal opinion to you is to consult an Allergist-Immunologist for identification and management of his allergies. However, if he is really having repeated cytoplasm pneumonia, you should be really concerned about it as it is uncommon in child Chat Doctor. Hope this will be helpful to you. Wish your son the best of the health. Should you have any further query, please feel free to ask at Chat Doctor. Regards. |
Hi I am Mezhu, 24 years of age, male and I am a student in Delhi. I have a problem of shaking and blank mind whenever I face people for presentation or public speech. And I have tried so many times to overcome this fear , but still its not working, can you please help? | If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. | Hi Menu, I can understand your concern. You seem to be suffering from performance anxiety. I would further like to know if you are also anxious in any other social situations, or do you have any problems talking to strangers, etc., for arriving at a proper diagnosis. For the problem of performance anxiety, you can consult a psychiatrist. Medications like selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors and propranolol are useful in this condition. Behavior therapy methods which will include leaning relaxation techniques and other methods to overcome your fear will also be very helpful. Hope this information was helpful. Best wishes. |

Hi, I am 44 years old woman. Overall healthy. My right side shoulder hurts when I move it towards should level. It hurts when I sleep on my right side. It also hurt when I look to the right (towards the end of the rotation). It has been 3 months. I do not remember any injury hapenned. I just woke up and it hurts. I took neck x-ray and my chiropractor said it will take time to heal. All he did was crack my neck to left and right and do the machine that vibrate on my shoulder. He told me to ice it and take warm shower. Is there anything else I could do? | If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. | Hi, Thanks for your query. Although it isn't possible to diagnose your condition without an examination and a few tests, your history is suggestive of Adhesive capsulitis(Frozen shoulder) or Calcific tendonitis. These conditions are easily managed by regular physiotherapy (Range of motion exercises, stretching and strengthening exercises). Over-the-counter pain relievers, such as aspirin and ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin), can help reduce pain and inflammation associated with this condition. I would suggest getting this evaluated by an orthopedic nearby for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate management. Your doctor after diagnosing the condition might refer to you a physical therapist. A physical therapist can teach you stretching exercises to help maintain as much mobility in your shoulder as possible do hope that you have found something helpful, and I will be glad to answer any further query. Take care |

Hi, I was wondering if you could look at my MRI report and let me know if I should see a specialist. Also, could you let me know what it means? My doctor didn t go over it with me. He said to take some motrin and I would feel better. But, that does not help AT all. I was in a car accident a few months back and started having severe back pain that radiates down my legs. I have to bring a heating pad with me everywhere I go and it sucks because I am only 27 years old. Thank you very much for your time! | If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. | Hello, The symptoms seem to be related to sciatica pain.

I broke 2 of my toes a few years ago, and over the weekend I went to NYC and walked for 9-11 hours, the back of the bone it very tender. It s not swollen or discolored, just tender when I walk or when I touch the toes near beginning of the bone connected to the foot. Toes are the 2 close to big toe. Thanks | If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. | Hello, Even after you break a bone, and it heals, it is never exactly the same bone as it was before. In your case, there may have been some built up scar tissue that made itself known after walking around NYC all day. The best thing to do would be to make sure you have good fitting shoes that are wide around the toes to give them room. All in all, I don't think there is anything to worry about. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Chat Doctor. |

I just recently received an ultrasound and the findings were that I have subcentimeter ovarian cysts and a 1.6x1.26x2 cm right sided fundal fibroid. I have had this very painful dull pain in the lower right side of my abdomen, sometimes I bleed when I have intercourse, I have very painful periods with alot of clotting and severe cramps. I have incontinence issues and the list goes on and on. One of the PCT from my gynecologist office called me and said everything is fine. How can that be when I am in SO MUCH PAIN? | If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. | Hi. You are absolutely right, everything is not fine. The bleeding during intercourse can be coming from the uterus or there can have a lesion on the cervix. Fungal fibroid can cause the pain and bleeding if it has eroded the internal wall of the uterus and clots and cramping. Ovarian cysts of this small size usually do not cause problems. I would advise you to go for another opinion. Possible chances of betterment are from Laparoscopic diagnosis and removal of the fibroid if there is a facility nearby you. |

Early pregnancy loss most of the time could be due to chromosomal abnormalities. However, your karyotyping is normal. I would advise you to report to a foeto-maternal specialist to get yourself evaluated thoroughly for any other possible cause. Thyroid dysfunction, particularly low function of thyroid also may cause such pregnancy wastage. I do not see this investigation performed in your list. Please get your blood examined for T3, T4 and TSH. If hypothyroidism is detected, Levothyroxine is the medicine of choice. I hope this will help you. |

I was having sexual intercourse approximately 60 hours ago. I am male. After approximately 15-20 minute, the urgency to ejaculate came upon me and to prevent it, I withdrew and changed positions. When doing so, I small amount of ejaculate (semen) was discharged. I continue to have sex but slowly lost my erection and stopped. During the next 24 hours a small amount of pinkish semen-like would discharge from my penis during urination (less that 0.5 seconds) and during the next 24 hours it appeared to clear up. In the last 12 hours it has somewhat reappeared, but not as bad as before. Also, my left testicle is swollen (similar to "blue balls") and painful. It occurred approximately 24 hours later (after sex). It is still swollen and painful, but appears to be improving. Do you know what has occurred and will it improve without medical attention? | If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. | Hi, I have gone through your query. In your case it is due to retrograde ejaculation, you are experiencing semen coming out with urine. At the time of ejaculation you prevented it to come out, semen is redirected to the urinary bladder with back pressure to testicle area resulting in painful testis. There is no need to take medical attention, It will improve by itself. I advise you not hold your ejaculation. Do consider positive feedback as a credit to my work. Let me know if you have any further questions. You can contact me on my page http://bit.ly/1dYupT2 |
Hello. I am 3/4 of the way through root canal treatment and I currently have a temporary filling in place for 2 weeks. The root canal is completed, the last step being the crown being cemented down permenantly. I am however, experiencing some pain around the area and the area surrounding it. It is a dull ache which seems to linger. Is this normal with temporary fillings at this point in root canal?Thank you for your time. | If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. | Hi Dear, Welcome to Chat Doctor. Understanding your concern. As per your query pain and sensitivity after root canal treatment occurs due to two reasons firstly there can be an infection which causes pain, that remain after root canal. Secondly sensitivity is caused due to periapical periodontal fibers. You should not go for crown placement till the time pain would not heal completely. I would suggest you to do warm saline gargles several times a day, maintain oral hygiene. Take ibuprofen (if not allergic) or acetaminophen, which will reduce pain and swelling. Consult your dentist again for proper evaluation and rule out condition like high point. Doctor may order X-ray to confirm diagnosis. He/she may prescribe antibiotics, release the high point or in case the infection doesn't go away with antibiotics then he/she may consider repeating the root canal again. Hope your concern has been resolved. Best Wishes, |

Thanks for writing to us at heallthcaremagicJudging from the information that you have provided I will keep a possibility of a viral exanthem. I would specifically like to rule out Chicken pox, since as you say that the rash is composed of fluid filled lesions. Chicken pox classically presents with red lesions which later on become topped with fluid filled lesions. The lesions of chicken pox are mainly distributed on the trunk, face and proximal extremities. Palms and soles are usually spared. Fever and other systemic symptoms are present. I will suggest that you visit a dermatologist in your region. Your dermatologist after examination would be able to either confirm or rule out chicken pox. Treatment of a confirmed episode of chicken pox is with oral antivirals e.g. acyclovir or val acyclovir. Symptomatic treatment for fever and malaise should be provided with OTC paracetamol and ibuprofen. Regards |

Welcome to Chat Doctor . I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns. As per your complaint a sore lump on tailbone can be due to most commonly formation of a Colonial cyst that is seen to be commonly caused due to either an ingrown hair or traumatic injury in the lower tailbone area.

In case of twin pregnancy the risk of preterm birth is high when compared to singleton pregnancies. Care should be taken during pregnancy as the risk of preterm birth is about 20 - 25% If the pregnancy was lost in the 2nd trimester - the measuring of cervical length periodically will help and if the length is short then a stitch will be put If the next pregnancy proper monitoring will help you to deliver the child at term hope to have answered your query Chat Doctor. |

I have been sick for about 2 weeks with a congested cough and nose. I may have had 2 colds concurrently from two separate sources. Now, in the mornings and evenings my throat and ears hurt very badly, but this pain goes away almost entirely during the day. If I lean my head forward, the pain in my ears increases dramatically.

My husband only has one kidney has been struggling with edema (33lbs in 6 weeks) weight keeps going up. Renal function ok. Just been to hospital and doc says from a recent ct scan shows dilated upper pole of kidney. Doc says their are no stones have you any ideas what could be causing the blockage and could the blockage cause the edema? | If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. | Dilatation of upper part of ureter doesn't always mean a stone obstructing it.

Sometimes semen leaks out of my penis (It usually leaks after I pee but it doesn t happen all the time, it usually happens if I ve had an erection earlier) and afterwards there is a pain in the shaft. The pain usually goes away on it s own or if I get an erection and after the erection has subsidized the pain will go away. Sometimes after I masturbate I get a painful second erection and if I masturbate the pain goes away and I ll be just fine for the third erection, sometimes I can even masturbate twice and the third erection will hurt. I don t necessarily need to masturbate for the pain to go away, sometimes I pour cold water on my penis to kill the erection and after it dies the pain completely disappears. | If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. | Dear, We understand your concerns went through your details. Semen leakage is a normal and involuntary process and there is nothing to worry about it. As you are already aware, the semen is being produced when you are sexually aroused. The produced semen is stored within your body as a waste product. Body needs to eject the waste. If you masturbate, the stored semen goes out. Otherwise, the body throws it out through urine or nocturnal ejaculation (night fall). This process is pretty much normal. The pain you are talking about after ejaculation, during second masturbation etc. are due to the hard handling of penis during masturbation. Please be soft while masturbating. This improves the sexual pleasure as well as it improves the retaining capacity. You may consult a psychologist for counseling.

HI Doctor, Last month i got my periods on Jan 9th but i have skipped my periods for Feb month. I performed pergnancy test at home and the result showed positive. But we do not have plans for a baby at this point in time. I was suggested with Regestrone tablet for 2 times for 5 days. Is this safe or is there any other oral medicines that you can suggest. | If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. | Hello dear, I understand your concern. In my opinion the progesterone is prescribed for the onset of periods when the periods are delayed due to some other cause other than pregnancy. So it is not the right choice. Usually the termination of pregnancy is done by medical and surgical procedures. Medical termination of pregnancy is possible only up to 7 weeks of pregnancy. Medical termination of pregnancy is done by combination of mefipristone and bisoprolol. I suggest you to consult doctor and take the medicines for termination. Kindly never try the medicines on your own as they are associated witChatDoctorplications like heavy bleeding, incomplete abortion etc. But as the pregnancy is there progesterone doesn't work. Kindly consult a gynecologist. Hope this helps. Best regards.... |

However, given the rest of your history, if there's no chest pain, I would say there is nothing to worry about. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. |

I was born in 1995. I m 19 year old now. I used to masturbation since when i was 15 years ago.

I have pus coming out of one tooth and an infection in the one next to it. I have a dental appointment to get the pus tooth handled, but have to wait for a specialist to handle the infected one in two weeks. I have flu like symptoms and wonder if it could be tooth related, or even if I should keep my appointment tomorrow? | If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. | Hi Dear, Welcome to Chat Doctor Team. Understanding your concern. Severe tooth infection. As per your complaint it seems there is formation of DENTAL ABSCESS due to infection from tooth reaching below the root tips of the tooth leading to pus formation. At times the pus and infection perforates the bone and accumulates in the soft tissues leading to swelling. Antibiotics can take a longer time to resolve infection and swelling, and you consult the dentist so that he can take an x Ray and if tooth can be saved he initiates a Root Canal Treatment under local anesthesia. For now main proper oral hygiene, take ibuprofen or acetaminophen for pain and do warm saline rinses. Hope your concern has been resolved. Best Wishes, |

hello dr i am having infertility problem .my right tube is block and left one is partially open . i had my tb test done by menstrual blood test which was negative .now my doctor had prescribed me to go for tb treatment as he think tb to be the reason of tubal blockage .my prolactin is little high .what should i do .please suggest. | If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. | Hi, Thanks for consulting us. This is true that Tuberculosis is very common in certain parts of the world. When this involves the genital tract, subfertility may result. I don't think it would be justifiable to start ATT (anti-tuberculous treatment) without confirming the diagnosis first. I think you should take a second opinion before starting ATT, as this is not a standard practice to start treatment without lab evidence of the disease & there are better treatment options to help women with tubal blockage. Women with borderline raised prolactin do not need treatment. So, better search for a good fertility specialist in your area. Wish you good health. Best of luck. |

Hello, My two year and two month old son has just started sticking his tongue out all the time and drooling. He also is pulling his lips back(upper and lower)as he sticks his tongue out. I know he is teething. Is this normal behavior? I am concerned because it looks strange.

As your son is starting erupt teeth, he might be producing excessive saliva as a bodies response to a new development in mouth. This is completely normal and nothing to worry about.

Dear SirI am being treated, for last two months, for minor Hyper tension which is at initial stage ( now at 120/80 some times 110/70). My GP prescribed me REPACE 25 mg after food at dinner. For my Hemoglobin ( 12.8) I am taking HOMOCHECK Tab (Folic acid, pyridoxine, cynocobalamin). Would you please explain in what manner these medicines will work for me while controlling the BP and raise the Hemoglobin. Is it possible to discontinue the REPACE tab after a period of time say 2 or 3 months.thank youGovindIndia | If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. | Hello Gov ind, I have gone through your question. Repace will control your blood pressure. BP medicine once started should be continued life long. However you have no family history of hypertension, if you are not over weight and smoker and if you can maintain healthy lifestyle then take a chance to stop it after 6 months with close watch on BP If it goes up then accept it for life long. Your low hemoglobin may not be related to BP unless there is some kidney problem. So after one month of iron and vitamins if hemoglobin does not rise it needs separate work up. My best wishes Chat Doctor. |

I have done my root canal treatment 2 months back but today morning its started paining there. What may be the reason? | If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. | Hi,First you need to discern that, is your tooth hurting or is it the gum around the tooth that is causing pain. Many a time in root canal treated and capped teeth food gets lodged in between the cap and gums causing mild infection in the area causing pain and discomfort. If it is the gum then you just need to do warm saline rinses3-4 times/day, use a good mouthwash and take a mild painkiller if required. The pain will be relieved in a day or two. If you are sure it is the tooth that is hurting then you need to visit your dentist who will take a X-ray and determine if you need a repeat root canal, if not then he may give you a course of an antibiotic and an anti inflammatory painkiller to remove whatever little infection caused it.

In my opinion you should first consult pulmonologist and get done 1. Chest x ray2. PUT (pulmonary function test)To rule out asthma and bronchitis. And inhaled treatment is best for asthma and bronchitis. But the Chat Doctor. Stalin is having albuterol. It is short-acting beta 2 agonists. Its Action lasts for of 2-3 hours.
