hi ,my grandmother(75 years) is suffering from 3rd stage cancer on lip and in throat.Her wound has become infected with worms probably maggots..can maggot therapy be used to help remove the maggots?is there any other method?please help .she is in a lot of pain | If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. | Hi, Thanks for writing in. Cancer of the lip should be treated depending on the treatment response after initial chemotherapy and radiation therapy. As the cancer is stage 3 therefore the tumor is large. Nodes should be searched for in the neck region. The presence of nodes makes is possibly stage 4. In this case there is a need to first give chemotherapy as that can make the node to decrease in size and then surgery might be possible. Some doctors also recommend radiation after chemotherapy to shrink the tumor and then make it operable. First the maggots causing infection need to be treated with medications and the cancer area to be kept clean. For the proper staging, both CT scan and pathology reports are to be assessed in detail. The chances of five year survival in head and neck cancer is better than other cancers with proper treatment and follow up. Five year survival for stage 3 lip cancer is 35 percent and is better than most other cancers. Please do not worry. |

I was punched in the center of my chest and am having pain similar to when I had pneumonia. Hurts to project voice too much or take deep breaths. Cannot see any physical signs of injury like a bruise, etc. Is it just bruised? Should I get it checked out? | If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. | Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. If the chest pain is disturbing your routine activity then get a chest x-ray done to rule out any lung contusion or rib fracture, or it could be just a muscle pull. Do not lift heavy weights.Don't worry, you will be alright. Hope I have solved your query. Wish you good health. Thanks. |
years ago I noticed heart palpitations which led to panis attacks because they scared me 30 years later dealing with them ive noticed a link to them.the question is I believe the main trigger is in the garden vegetables from the store.I know this sounds a little bit reaching but I told my wife to lay off the frozen vegetables and they have decreased dramatically could there be a link or could it be the pesticides causing the to re-surface.ive tried to live with them for years and wished they woulg go away.yes its true anxiety and palptations are related but why would they dramatically increase.ive also notice when my blood pressure is a little higher than normal I dont have palpitations at all.so why would my blood pressure being around normal cause me to have them and being a little higher not have them.why would eating vegetables cause me to have them alot.its hard to find a medium area but since ive laid off the vegetables its bearable.ive tried everything humanlly possible.I guess if I never felt my heart beating would probably cure me.I also use to be a track runner in school years ago long distance runner is it possible that the excessive running triggered them?just searching for answers thank you. | If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. | Hello, I passed carefully through your question and would explain that your symptoms could be related to indigestion or gastroesophageal reflux. A panic disorder cannot be excluded either. I don't think that pesticides can give this sudden reaction. In fact, they may lead to nausea, diarrhea as more common adverse effects, but the heart is usually affected later. Anyway, I would also recommend performing some other tests to investigate for the possible causes: - thyroid hormone levels for possible thyroid gland dysfunction- a fibrogastroscopy for possible reflux-blood electrolytes for possible imbalance. An ambulatory 24-48 hours ECG monitoring would help investigate your heart rhythm trends for a prolonged time and exclude possible cardiac arrhythmia. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. |
Hi, for the past couple of nights my chest area ha really ached. My rib area aches and the ribs halfway down the rib cage hurt to touch. Also I thought I was getting indegastion but what felt like my heart just had a massive pain go through it. Like someone was squeezing it. It only lasted for a couple of seconds - I have had this feeling before but felt it was time to find out whats going on. Also noticed tony veins on my rib area earlier - dont know if its related. | If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. | Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. In my opinion, you should definitely rule out heart diseases first because your chest pain is on left sided and more in night. 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. Sometimes musculoskeletal pain can be the cause. So avoid movements causing. Apply warm water pad on affected areas. Take simple painkiller like paracetamol or ibuprofen. Don't worry, you will be alright with all these. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks. |
Hi, I am a 40 year old female, diagnosed with cervical disc herniation and cervical degenerative disc disease . I saw a Neurosurgeon last year until I felt somewhat better. I did not have the surgery that was recommended. I tried exercising and apparently hurt my neck again. But this time I am having memory loss too, is this normal? I could not remember my home phone number, my husbands birthday, my insurance companies name, etc. Please advise... Shea | If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. | Hi, Thank you for posting your query. Memory impairment is not related to the cervical disc herniation. It is due to brain disease. The most common reason could be a small blood clot in the brain. A CT scan of the brain can help in diagnosis. Please consult a Neurologist for evaluation and treatment. Wishing you good health, Chat Doctor. |
My boyfriend just had hernia surgery, where his intestines would fall down into his testicle area? Well, now after surgery, he has noticed that his left testicle is red, contant sharp pain in one area. Weve recently noticed it is like he has two balls in this one testicle. We are afraid he might have a growth or something since this wasnt noticed before... | If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. | HelloThanks for query. It is common to get swelling of the scrotum after hernia surgery due to inflammation of testicle that develops due to handling of testicles to dissect hernial sac from testicles and cord structures. Normally it gets resolved over a period of 2-3 weeks. What one needs is to take antibiotics and anti-inflammatory Chat Doctor. |

Are there any problems with not taking the entire five days of tablets? Patricia | If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. | Hello, I think that you've been prescribed Tami flu because of a Flu, so I answer for that case. If you are not immunosuppressed (due to an illness or a medication) or under chemo/radiotherapy, I think that you could stay without taking the rest of the therapy. Moreover, you have to consider how do you feel: if you feel that your health is improving, (not fever, cough, headache) this is a good sign, and maybe you can stay without the therapy. Regards |

In this investigation, a piece of bone is taken out, is processed and examined to look for any abnormality or disease. I am not sure (not clear in your report) whether a bone marrow biopsy has been done or not, however, if it has been proven to be myelofibrosis on bone biopsy, you need to take treatment for myelofibrosis. Steroids are the mainstay of treatment for myelofibrosis, and thus you will need to take steroids only. Consult your hematologists for further work up. Thanks and take care Chat Doctor. |

It usually hurts the worst if i bend it any way and when i do bend it i hear popping noise, do you know what my problem is? Some people said it could be my Carpal Tunnel..is that true? | If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. | Hello, As carpal tunnel Syn Chat Doctor. But since you have only pain in the wrist and some popping noise I feel x-ray of the wrist will be better. As these sounds are due to the movement of the carpal bones which happens due to the weakness of the ligaments and also the flexor retinaculum tightness. Do hot water fermentation, gentle massage over the flexor retinaculum which is located at the wrist level, do simple strengthening exercises for hand, fingers and forearm muscles. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Jay In |

I just had 2 operations for breast cancer and I had one lympnoide taken out. I was told that I could getlymhonoides.Could this possibly make me get indigestion. I started to get indigestion a couple of days ago. My stomach gets bloated. I was also told not to lift anything with that arm over 5 to 10 pounds. | If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. | Dear, Lymph node removal should not cause indigestion. You must have been subjected to medication following lymph node removal which must have caused gastritis leading to bloating and indigestion. This will get light after gastric soothing agents like antacids and gastric relaxants like risperidone. Consult your physician for it, and you will get relief. Truly, |
I get depressed really easily and feel worthless it doesnt take much to trigger it my mum and two siblings has been diagnosed with it too | If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. | Hi. I think myself you need to find a counselor to talk your feelings out with. I don't think you sound depressed just down and out. I felt this way a couple of months ago and the best thing I ever did was seen a counselor as directed by my doctor. Most doctors prefer you to you talk then take tablets. Talking is much better than going to a GP than getting antidepressants which don't resolve the problem. You need to find someone to talk to. |

If not relieved with all these methods then local injection may be required. You can take this consulting your doctor.

Hi, I went to get an MRI as I was having myclonic jerks during my sleep. Here is the result of the MRI. 1.Multiple scattered punctate foci of T2/Flair hyperintensities within the subcortical white matter are more than expected for patient s age (39) but nonspecific. These may reflect sequela of migraine headaches, mild age-advanced microvascular ischemic disease if the the patient has known vascular risk factors, or remote infectious/inflammatory etiology. 2. Left Choroial fissure cyst 1.5 x .8 x .7cm is an incidental finding of no clinical significance 3. Otherwise unremarkable Brain MRI Should i be concern with the 2 findings as I am still having issues with the myclonic jerks during my sleep | If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. | Hi there, Thank you for writing to us. You are most likely having what is called as hypnotic jerks. These are a form of myoclonic jerks that happen when one is asleep. This is something that is normal and nothing to worry about a great deal. In fact this is something that is very common, and even I experience them myself. The findings that you are having on your MRI is not something that concerns me and this should not be causing you the myoclonic jerks by any stretch of the imagination.Therefore, I would recommend that you should just relax as there is nothing a great deal to worry about. Kindest Regards. |
Hi, I have a brother who is currently incarcerated. When I went to visit him today, he told me about a lump on his chest. He also told me that the doctor there was giving him medication but was telling him the wrong name of the medicine. I was just wondering, arent they suppose to do some type of exam on him to determine what it is before they just give him medication for it. The reason I ask this is because he told me that they said it was nothing that they could do. So I was wondering if they were suppose to diagnose him with something before just giving him medication? | If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. | Welcome to Chat Doctor. 1. The history is a bit inadequate, as you have not described the lump and its location on the chest, however I will try to explain to you the possible causes.2. The most possible cause could be infective etiology, hair follicular infection with collection within - which needs antibiotic in early UN complicated condition, where late and complicated needs excision.3. Other possible cause will be lipomas which needs to monitored unless until symptomatic where excised.4.Finally, bone lesions arise on the chest wall, and hernias. Which need to examine and do needful treatment.5. An ultrasound scan will help in the assessment of the nature of the lump, its source and extensions.6. Suggest to get examined and diagnosed and treated appropriately.7. Probably the doctor would have visually able to make out the type of lump he is dealing so started treatment. Good luck. Hope I have answered your query,anything to ask do not hesitate to ask.http://doctor.ChatDoctor .com/doctors/ Chat Doctor. |

Hello, I believe I recently came down with the flu as it started suddenly with a sore throat and body aches through the upper back and neck . Spent yesterday with a mild fever and lots of coughing. I am an asthmatic so the added inflammation in my bronchial passageways is less than pleasant to say the least. Today I feel like I am on the up&up and the cough is no longer producing white sputum , but when I cough hard there is a metallic-type taste in my mouth. I figured it s normal since I spent the better part of 48 hours, day and night, hacking my lungs out. Anyway, is this normal or something to be concerned about? Thanks so much! -Jonathon | If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. | Hi, Viral fevers are known to be debilitating and sap a persons' energy quickly.

I can understand your concern. No need to worry about heart attack because your heart related reports are normal. You are having blood in urine. So possibility of kidney infection or stone is more.

Start painkiller and muscle relaxant Chat Doctor. Avoid movements causing pain and strenuous exercise. Don't worry, you will be alright. Hope I have solved your query. Wish you good health. Thanks. |

When getting up from bed always take a lateral position first then hang your legs down and then get up. When working, maintain a good posture of your back. Add a lumbar support cushion to you chair. Do not strain your self or over exert. . U can also apply some good anti inflammatory painkiller gel on your back. If the pain increases do some hot fermentation locally and make a routine of doing some back strangling exercise daily. Start will 10 mins twice a day to 20 mins twice a day and walk for 30-40 mins a day alt east. I am sure you will be fine in 2 weeks |

my right side of the cheek is swollen a bit, i have a broken tooth underneath the swelling . i m working to get my status number and health number to see the dentist . I don t know if they will help me with the problem. it doesn t hurt as much today and the swelling went down a little. I m concerned it will get worst if i dont do anything about it. what can i do today to take care of it? | If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. | Infected broken tooth can lead to pain and soreness of cheeks and jaws. Constant cheek irritation by broken tooth can also cause pain and tenderness. If tooth is broken, then you need treatment for your broken tooth. If nerve of the tooth is not exposed, then tooth can be restored with dental filling or crown but if nerve of the tooth is exposed or necroses, then root canal treatment followed by dental crown is required for the tooth. If tooth is badly mutilated, then post and core procedure is required after root canal therapy. If broken tooth is unrestorable, then tooth extraction followed by replacement of missing tooth with dental implants or dental bridge is required. Only pain meds will be of little help. Hot compresses are not indicated as they will aggravate the swelling. You can do warm saline rinses to reduce the swelling. You need to get treatment done for infected tooth. If you have cost constrains, then you can visit a dental school where treatment is done by dental students under supervision of experienced dentists. You can also look for free dental clinics near you or can talk to your local dentist if you can pay in installments for treatment. By the time you visit your dentist, you can avoid eating from side of broken tooth. You can also apply travel for some relief. Maintain good oral hygiene to avoid any secondary infections |
I m a 27 year old female and was showing off last 4th of July playing basketball. I slipped when I jumped up after the ball and fell directly on my foot while it was basically sideways. I heard a loud pop not on my ankle but the side of the calf above the ankle. My whole ankle was swollen and a little black and blue. Also the back of the calf was swollen. It took a couple months to heal, and I used an air cast, but never went in due to lack of insurance and funds. I haven t had any problems until lately, if I just sit down and then get up, my whole leg hurts. Mainly in the chin bone and just below the knee. I have no idea if it s related, but it feels like it is, it s been going on for a while and it also hurts if I turn my leg in. Just wondering what it could be if it is from my ankle. Should I wait to see if it goes away or have this checked right away? It kind of feels like if you were holding a stick and trying to break it. Lots of pressure and pain, but once I walk a little it seems to go away. | If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. | Hello, As you had a fall on the side of the ankle I will advise taking an x-ray of the ankle straight away as any ignored injury of the past may land up into chronic and later leads to change in the biomechanics of the gait and leads to other pain symptoms at the adjacent joints. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Jay In Chat Doctor. |
I have been experiencing pain in my lower abdomen for over a week now. Very recently the pain has moved lower into my groin/genital region. The pain became very extreme yesterday and I went to the ER. I checked out okay on urinary infections, kidney stones, and anything else big they tested for. The theory the dr. had was that it could be a small hernia, though it did not show in CAT scan. I am going to be seeking a specialist soon since the pain remains. It seems to be generalized on the right side of the penis. I do not notice swelling but the skin has wrinkled/overlapped lately. I am 22 164 lb. As far as medical history I have IBS and a history of asthma. | If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. | Hi, from history it seems that you might be having developing inguinal hernia called Bubonocele or having infection in sperm carrying ducts called Epididymitis epididimo-orchitis. On clinical examination one can have good clue regarding your problem. Consult sexologist and get examined.Meanwhile, you can take Diclofenac or ibuprofen to get symptomatic relief. Ok and take care. |
ALLERGY - Respiratory . Hello, my uncle (65 yrs) has been having sinusitis for the past 30 years. About 6 months ago, he had a new consisting with a bit of cough + phlegm building on his throat . So far, the meds that my uncle was prescribed until now wereAerius / Telfast / Clarinese / Xyzal. Recently, he was given ampules for own injections (daily) just in case his allergy got worse. The doctor that prescribed didn t want to let us know the meds ingredients. So far, after getting the injections, my uncle s allergy was getting better. But we re curious WHY the doctor didn t want tell us about the meds. Our question, is there such thing as INJECTION medicine intended for allergy purpose? Also.. recently, my uncle was prescribed with another meds -- Singulair, on top of those meds above + the injection meds. Please advise. | If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. | Hi welcome to Chat Doctor. Yes there is an emergency injection that can be taken subcutaneously in an emergency and is sometimes handed over to patients for use in an emergency. Rest of your medications are for asthma and allergy. His doctor has probably not told him details of the injection because it may unnecessarily create anxiety if he reads about it. I am sure his doctor would have told him how to use the injection and what to expect. If he is a specialist, I am sure he knows what he is doing, and you must trust him. Regards |

My adult daughter has had a cold for over a week now and I told her to go to a clinic and get a steroid shot to dry up the cold. I have been given this in the past when I had a cold that just wouldnt end and it really worked. Why wouldnt the doctor give her a shot. | If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. | Hello Steroids are meant only for emergency cases not for ordinary cases like cough. Since this is common and main reason is allergy. Allergy produce bronchoconstriction and this develop cough. So when such patient visit I prescribe my patient to take montelukast+albuterol (10 mg in each salt) , one tablet / day and patient respond at once. If cough is severe then also use chlorampheniramine + AEROSOL + menthol cough syrup. So don't use steroid, rather avoid it. This is a prescription Chat Doctor. Hot coffee and steam inhalation is also very good. |
