I hit my head in a car accident last night. I m now having considerable short term memory loss and much more surprisingly have a few times this evening suddenly smelled burning rubber extremely strongly then it disappears instantly, no one else is smelling it. Does this mean something?

Hi, welcome to our site. I am Chat Doctor, MD. Read your query. That is a very significant question and I appreciate your problem. I will try my best to answer your Quertle symptoms of the query are quite suggestive of a possible post-traumatic stress disorder. In short PTSD. This is a feature where the person after having an accident has a memory issue and some other short termed symptom. I would suggest that there is nothing to worry about, and you just have to give it some time to pass. However, I also suggest getting a CT brain done, if not an MRI brain to rule out any possible damage. I hope this helps you. Inform the reports mentioned above/if any other, so I can be of help further. I have given you the answer to the maximum considering the information provided. The results of the tests could further enhance my answer to you. You can upload them on the site. You can upload them with the query, or if you have a problem, send them to attachments@ChatDoctor .com with Sub

Hello dairy understand your concerns would suggest consulting experienced gynecologist and undergo reproductive hormone analysis, USG scan, ovarian follicle study for better management. You used fer tab for 3 months. It will help in maturation of ovarian follicle and induction of ovulation. If there is problem in rupture of follicle then you should use Chat Doctor injection for 2-4 months. If Chat Doctor injection does not help then go for USG guided ovarian Chat Doctor. Along with this you can also use metformin, progesterone pill in second half of period, ovacareAvoid stress, take healthy diet,

Good Day, I live in Guyana, south America and my husband has been suffering from Kidney Stones fro the last 15 years. Normally when the stones are moving the doctor would prescribe Buscopan or Baralgin Tablets however yesterday he an attack and the doctor prescribed Zerodol to be used in conjunction with the Baralgin Tablets. i have never heard of this tablet. please advise on the side effects and how effective this tablet would be against the pains. Surgery is sort of not an option since what we were told is that with my husband s blood base type he has the tendency of forming the stones more faster as compared to someone who forms stones from the variety of foods eaten - Is this actually so????? also what can actually be done in order to prevent the stones forming, foods to stay away from and so forth???
|
Hi, many thanks for the query! To prevent recurrent stone formation, you need to do- Metabolic workup of 24 hrs urine sample, Sr. PTH, Sr. Calcium, Sr. Uric acid. As per the reports, appropriate dietary instructions can be given. If your Sr. Uric acid is raised, then uric acid synthesis inhibitors like allopurinol can be started, urine alkalizing agents with your Urologists opinion. Zerodol contains diclofenac, that may cause more acidity, gastric problems as side effects if taken without antacids. Take diuretics, antispasmodics (dicyclomine, Chat Doctor. If your stones are causing obstruction to urine outflow, viz. lodged in ureters, they will cause back pressure changes in the form of HY

last month i got my period somewhat like a week before, at 1st it ws light, and it continued for about 9 days as high bleeding. is it something like implantation bleeding? when i consulted the gyno, she gave me meftal, omeprazol and tranzamin. so the next day it got stopped. and for this month still i didnt get my period, like almost a week delay. is there any chance to be pregnant. i wish for.
|
Hallow Dear, Since you had continued bleeding during menses for prolonged period, and it had to be controlled by medicines, this time the periods are delayed. Wait for some more days, may be for a week to 10 days. If still you do not get menses, you may have to induce your menses by some progestational preparation. Please get the advice and prescription from your Gynecologist. I hope this helps you.

|
Hi dear, I have gone through your question and understand your concerns. You are having urinary tract infection. This infection raises the risk of preterm labor and delivery in pregnancy, and hence should be treated effectively and at the earliest. I will suggest you to get a urine culture and sensitivity test done so that appropriate antibiotics can be started. Hope you found the answer helpful. Wishing you good health. Chat Doctor.

Also, he says that whenever he takes a deep breath, he also feels the pain. He is not able to stand straight or walk. Thanks in advance for your help,Pooja

About 8 wks ago, I got an itch at the bottom of my leg by my foot w/no noticeable signs of bites, ringworm, etc. One night it itched so bad I just got my other foot and scratched until it almost become raw because of the itching. It has turned into a dime shaped ring, not ringworm as I ve had before in my life. It s gone from light pink to a dark red now, still itching, flaking w/it. I ve tried every OCD and it s looking even worse. Any ideas?
|
Hi, Thanks for the query. I understand your concern. Itchy foot could be due to- - keeping it sweaty, lack of cleaning, being packed in shoes (poor exposure to air)& socks most of the time. Socks not being changed / washed & cleaned over days. Such condition many a times results in fungal infection(Tania FEDIS - Athletes foot-This is a contagious infection-- may be contacted by using same foot wares) - Chat Doctor.

My grandson travels all over the world. I have called CDC in Atlanta to inquire what precautions may be taken against the Ebola virus. I was told that a detergent or bleach base disinfectants, however, they were unable to tell me of specific products. Referred me to MA Dept. of Health which was not helpful at all.
|
Hello, THX to contact us. If I am your treating doctor I would like to advice you that take care that body fluids, blood and sexual intercourse may spread Ebola to you. Kindly stay away from such an activity. You can use a bleach solution which is available in your local market. There is no point of using specific products.

|
Hi, Thank you for posting your query. Based on the information provided, it is possible that you are suffering from low pressure headaches. This can be confirmed with clinical examination, and the headache typically increases on sitting up or standing and reduces on lying down. The condition can be resolved by using a programmable shunt during surgery. Please discuss these issues with your neurosurgeon. I hope my answer helps.

hello Doctor, i am 26 year age male and i had already sex with more then 20 girls in different time during my collage days but now from last 6 mnth i am not doing this anymore and may be in coming 1 or 2 year i will get married. but my problem is suddenly from last one mnth i am always feeling that my penis size and girth is not ok. i am not feeling the weight in side my zip .the size is 4.5 inch and girth is 3.9 inch.kindly advice what is my position and what best can i do to feel my self confident.
|
Degree understand your concerns went through your description. I suggest you not to worry much. Penis size of 4.5 inches is more than enough to satisfy a girl. You should know that the sensory elements of vagina is available only up to 2 inches. Your girth is also enough. Regarding your self-confidence. You already have it. Confidence comes from experience. In any life matter. You have experience with almost 20 ladies, and you are complaining about confidence. You should know that there are people without any sexual experience marrying. That is all. You might need psychotherapy and other cognitive behavioral therapies. I can help you through telephone. Please do contact me through customer care of www.ChatDoctor .com for a telephonic consultation session. Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications. Good luck.

I have Bipolar Type 2 Disorder, am, Clinically Depressed, have Anxiety and Panic Attacks along with Insomnia and a heart problem called PSVT. As long as I take my meds for everything, I m fine., I m FINE. I started smoking when I was 9 years old, smoking them by the pack by the time I was 11 years old, and at, at age 13 I would split a Carton of cigarettes with my roommate. (5 packs). I still split a carton with my roommate, and I smoke 2 to 2 and a half packs a day. I ve tried the the highest dosage of the Nicotine Patches and Nicotine Lozenges together, but they still Didn t stop my cravings. When I asked my Primary Care Doctor to put me on Chantix, he wanted clearance from my Psychiatrist Chantix. Why does he need clearance from my Psychiatrist to put me on Chantix, and what side effects could I experience with taking Chantix with my Bipolar Disorder, Depression, Acute Anxiety Disorder, (Anxiety & Panic Attacks,) Insomnia, and PSVT? I will be looking forward to your answer. Thank You Very Much Kathryn Williams

Degree understand your concerns went through your details. I can understand your emotions, but I am not going to sympathize because sympathy may make people more weak. In opinion, you should consult the psychiatrist for the whole of your treatment because I am worried about your mental disorder. For nicotine addiction Varnishing is now a proven remedy. Talk to your psychiatrist about this. If you require more of my help in this aspect, please use this URL. http

hello....i have three nos. of cyst in gallbladder 3-4mm size...there is no pain and any other problem...wht to do now...age 36 yrs...53...and 15 yrs before...i have gone through a severe hepatitis B..but after that....for a long time...i had no such problem.that should be mentioned....
|
Hi. Noted history of cystic lesions on the gallbladder. Observation may be done. But even if you're asymptomatic, it is best if you consult with a doctor, preferably a general surgeon, for physical examination and clinical evaluation. Additional diagnostics such as liver function tests, and management (medical and/or surgical) will be directed accordingly. Definitive treatment is surgical removal of the gallbladder or cholecystectomy. An elective (scheduled surgery) has lesser chance of developing complications vs an emergent one. Discussion with your doctor re-plan of management is advised. Hope this helps. Good day!! ~ Chat Doctor.

Hello Doctor. I am 39 weeks pregnant. About 5 days ago (Sunday), I was taking a shower and noticed a bump on my vaginal lip (left side). I immediately grew concerned about it and asked my husband to look at it. He said it was black and looked like a blood blister and it was in the shape of a perfect circle. At that time it didn t hurt. I was worried so I brought it up to my doctor on Tuesday. She glanced at it and said that it was just a mole . Me and my husband were relieved. But later on the next day, it just didn t sit right with me. I got a mirror and a light and looked down there to see what, if anything, had changed. I noticed that another bump was growing in right next to it. It looked exactly the same, only smaller. The initial bump was getting to be a little tender to the touch. I really freaked out. I worried about it all day yesterday and decided to check myself again this morning. So, I got my mirror and light and, from what I can see, I have another 3 or 4 dark bumps or patches coming in on my left vaginal lip. I am getting really scared now. Is there any advice you can give me of what it could be? Should I call my doctor and demand a second opinion or should I head to an E.R.? Can this effect my baby? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
|
Hi there,If the bumps are not hurting you much, please do not be worried. These are dilatation of the veins (blood vessels) in the vagina. During pregnancy the amount of blood flow to the vagina increases this causes this dilatation of the veins. Also, the progesterone hormone whose level increase in pregnancy causes a dilatation of the wall of the blood vessels resulting in thicker vessels which look bluish. These will go away soon after delivery, and as you are at 39 weeks already, you may deliver soon. If at all episiotomy is required during delivery the veins can be avoided to prevent excess blood loss. These will not affect your baby. Hope this helps. Regards.

Right now current doctor dropped me! that s right folks, cut me off 3 mgs a day. No taper nothing. Bad shape....should I conntact an attorney? I have no right s,do I? Please Help
|
Hi, The chronic consumption of opioids has a well documented increase in risk factor for pulmonary embolism raised with age and other comorbid issues like smoking, obesity or other factors. The cutting down of the dose of opioid is mainly for your health benefit and the management of PE requires anti-coagulant medication on a regular basis with PT INR maintenance. Hope I have answered your query. Feel free to post further doubts. Thank you.

Hi, my bf is experiencing syomach & adominal pains, lower back pains, pennis & balls hurt, anus hurts, trouble getting hard. He doesnt wanna move cause its that painful & this all occured after we had sex. What could be the cause & how can we make it stop for now until can see a doctor
|
Hello appreciate your concern for your boyfriend. Looking at your description this might be related to inflammation due to infection or injury during sexing my opinion you should ask him to have plenty of fluids with glucose water and fruits juices if he is not diabetic. You can also give him ibuprofen with pantoprazole for symptomatic reliefs him to take rest until he recovers fully Hope this answers your question please feel free to ask for further clarification I will.be happy to help you Best wishes

Welcome to Chat Doctor Who is it who recommended you to take this medication. What you have taken is antibiotic for infection and anti-diabetic medication. You could be having endometriosis which is menstrual tissue growing probably on your ovary which is causing the pain by peritoneal irritation as well. You need to get a thorough checkup by your Doctor and also probably need an ultrasound scan to confirm. For time being for the pain you can take Metal spas under medical supervision. Chat Doctor. Eat fresh fruits and vegetables. Exercise daily.

Hi !!! I am a young married... since six months Im trying to get pregnant I do not know what happens I have a 28-31 day cycle AC still does not work let me know if I can consume ovamid or clomid without prescription? there is no side effects that can harm.
|
Hi, Thanks for the query. I suggest that you stop worrying regarding pregnancy as you seem to have fairly regular cycles. Also, you are married since six months, so there is no need to worry regarding conception. Closed or ova mid induces formation of ova and ovulation. However, it will help only in those women who are unable to conceive due to problems with ovulation. Also, when they are taken for a long period, they themselves hamper conception as they cause other changes that do not allow pregnancy to occur. In your case, you have not been investigated for this, meaning we do not know if you actually have ovulation issues. So I would not recommend you to take these Chat Doctor. Remember that maximum chances of conception occur in the ovulatory period which is around day 12-18. I recommend that you have sexual contact every alternate day during this part of your cycle for best chances of getting pregnant. Also start taking prenatal vitamins like folic acid for a month as this helps to prevent birth defects in the baby. Hope I was able to help you. Thanks for using ChatDoctorHave a good day.

I have a warton tumor on my neck under my ear. Went to an ENT Dr. And was told it must be removed however because its near arteries could have danger of paralysis. Had fine needle biopsy no cancer but only when removed can they be 100 percent sure. How do I find a Dr who would specialize with this surgery?
|
Hello there, thanks for the question. I'm a dental specialist, read your query, u have not mentioned anything about any pain or difficulty with this tumor. Have you done any radiological investigation like MRI of the said region along with your fine needle biopsy??MRI imaging will give you whether it is involving the arteries and nerves and also will indicate whether surgery is needed immediately, in my opinion you should consult an oral maxilla surgeon preferably or a head and neck surgeon/ENT surgeon. Hope this helps and feel free to get back with other symptoms r any history regarding this tumor u have. Many thanks

Dr. my name is arun, do rabies spread by smelling a wet torn cloth by dog, I found my cloth torn by some dog outside and i found it wet,i smelled it to find what was it my doubt is that is there any chance of getting rabies virus,should i take any medication.please help me
|
Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor, Rabies is a disease transmitted by the bit of the dog and whenever the saliva of the rabid dog come in contact with the mucosa of the human beings it can transmit the disease. By mere smelling of the torn cloth may not transmit the disease. If the saliva comes in contact with the broken skin and the mucosa then only it can transmit the disease otherwise it is impossible to get the disease. Thank you.

Last Saturday night a week ago my left ear lost all hearing. I have had no pain, no draining. I have had a whole lot of sneezing lately. Wondering what I can do naturally to help open it back up. I have an appointment with Primary Care doctor on Wednesday, August 13th. Please help?
|
Are you having cough? Sometimes, mucous builds up behind the ear Chat Doctor. If your hearing problem is due to mucous, then you must include plenty of garlic, onions, chilies and peppers to thin down mucous. Having a bowl of soup with crushed black pepper may help relieve mucous formation. If deafness is due to build up of plaque in tiny blood vessels that supply blood to the ears, then reducing intake of fats especially saturated fats like butter, margarine, ghee, milk fat, red meat will be helpful. Hope this answers your query.

My 21 year old daughter noticed a pea size mass near her lymph nodes, by the lower jaw. We have been to the dentist, and pediatrician for blood work. onone seems to be concerned. It has been there for 3 and 1/2 months. same size as it started. YYYY@YYYY
|
Hi, I have gone through your query and I can understand your concerns. The symptoms you have mentioned suggest the possibility of an enlarged cervical lymph node. Most probably it will be due to inflammation in the surrounding area. Check her oral cavity for dental caries, enlarged tonsil and oral ulcers. Start her on a short course of antibiotics like Tampico for five to seven days. Do warm saline gargles or gargling with chlorhexidine mouthwash. If the node persist despite all these consult a general practitioner and get a biopsy of the node done to rule out some other conditions like tuberculosis and lymphoma, These are rare possibilities and no need to worry that much. Hope this information helps. Regards. Chat Doctor.

Hi I have had a holter ecg done and my average heart rate was 111 with the highest 180 and the lowest 60. I am very tired and feel as if I am trembling the whole time. I get breathless very easily and feel very emotional. The ecg was not normal but my GP merely said that I had a few extra beats. Should I be worried?

Hello, I understand your concern and would explain that your symptoms seem to be related to anxiety. Nevertheless, I would recommend performing some blood lab tests in order to investigate for possible metabolic disorder

Am on dialysis (63 year old male). On many meds including hydralazine (50 mg 3 X day), lopressor (25 mg 2 X day) and norvasc (5 mg 1 X day). Blood pressure runs about 128-140 for systolic and 45-58 dystolic with pulse averaging between 57 - 65. I am EXTREMELY tired and fatigued most of the time. Any suggestions on medication adjustments to help with this fatigue? I had a triple bypass in 96 and all grafts are still clean. Also take Prevachhol 10 mg 1 X day.
|
Hi, Thanks for asking. Based on your query, my opinion is as follows.1. Your diastolic pressure is too low, possibly due to dialysis. This could be contributing to your fatigue and lethargy.2. Also get you hologram done to rule out anemia. Patients on dialysis are at increased risk of anemia.3. Nutritional diet is very essential. Control blood pressure within normal range. Continue medications. Not to worry. Hope it helps. Any further queries, happy to help again.

Hi, You need a surgical intervention when you have cardiac symptoms. Tiredness, breathlessness, chest pain, difficulty doing routine work, frequent lung infection and there is increased pulmonary congestion. Also, check for Ejection Fraction in the echocardiogram report. Less 45 % means you are going for cardiac failure - needs surgical attention. Hope I have answered your query.

My 11 month old child(now) is having UTI infection(klebsiella oxytoca organism) for the past 5 months. we accidently checked that.we put him under amikacin for 1 week.still last week he didnt have any signs and symptoms.from last week he is having burning micturation.urine is droping.urine culture reports are yet to come.its summer here.im giving more water nowadays.what to do next.
|
Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor,11-month-old with this problem is very difficult I understand. Good thing is, your child is a boy and the chances of class a ring UTI in boys is much easier. You should continue doing what you're doing giving him lot of fluids. We have no choice but to wait for the culture report to decide on what medicine now to put him on. However, because it's been so long, I would suggest you consult a pediatric surgeon or a nephrologist. He needs ultrasound of abdomen including renal and also other tests like DMS. Hope this helps you. Let me know if any further queries. Take care.

I have ear infection and was prescribed amoxicillin since Friday and today is Monday but I have not seen improvement in the treatment. I still feel as if my right ear has some water inside. I was earlier given Zithromax that is when the problem started. should I continue taking the antibiotic until I finish the dose maybe I will get some relief?
|
Hello, It looks like there is an ear infection, and it is the cause of fluid formation behind the ear Chat Doctor. You should continue taking the antibiotics as it is must reduce infection, and it will further help in reducing the fluid accumulation as the infection will subside. You should also start using a decongestant nasal spray like Xylometazoline as to reduce the congestion and clogged feeling in ear. In case if the condition does not resolve, then at times you might need manual

a friend of mine went to a party over the weekend and drank pickle juice with vodka. she woke up the next morning not able to move her mouth and her back left gum is swollen and sore and she said she has pulse pockets there that are popping constantly and are moving down her throat . she can open her mouth a little now but she said its hard for her to chew or swallow anything.
|
HelloWelcome to ChatDoctorI read your query & would like to inform you that your friend might be suffering from gingival abscess where a pus-filled sac is formed in the gingival (gum line) of the teeth. The problem occurs due to trauma or various infections caused in the gum by bacteria that enter gums due to injury from toothpick punctures, brushing teeth aggressively or from food fragments entering into the gum line. It causes the gum line to appear red and shiny. It can also be due to that pickle juice because its highly acidic & irritating to mucosa. You need to go for proper diagnosis. If its gingival abscess get it correlated & deep scaling. You may start with metrogyl-400 along with doxycycline-100 mg twice a day. Also maintain proper oral hygiene by regular brushing & flossing along with using mouthwash. Take Disregards Chat Doctor.

Is blood pressure of 97/55 pulse 82 normal? It happens once in awhile not all the time. I was outside in the yard this morning doing some yard work. I was sweating a lot and I was drinking water and Gatorade. I got alittle dizzy and that is when I checked my blood pressure. I ate some Lays chip and drank more water and it slowly went up.
|
Hello! Welcome and thank you for asking on Chat Doctor! Regarding your concern, I would explain that your blood pressure values are a little low, which could explain the dizziness that you are feeling. Increasing salt intake, coupled with a lot of fluids are the main remedies to this condition. Increased sweating and low fluid intake can trigger this clinical situation. But, it is not a serious medical condition. Hope you will find this answer helpful! Kind regards,

Still it is above the normal level band told me no need to worry about and will decrease gradually. Sir could you please help me.My email is= thoniummertk@gmail. ComUmmer TKKerala

Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You have fatty liver disease. It is the cause of your high SGPT level. You should take low fat diet with high protein diet. Avoid alcohol and smoking. Chat Doctor. Go for reregular exercise. Don't worry much about fatty liver. It's nothing serious. You will be ok within short time. Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Wish you a very good health.

Hi sir, Am 25 years old and I have some trouble with my teeth . There is a milky teeth in upper jaw of right corner and its not fallen and the left side of upper jaw milky teeth was fallen but its not erupted after 7 years. I have consulted with local medical college doctors about this and they said the adult teeth is growing with improper direction and needs to be removed since these tooth cannot be erupted. so i simply left their suggestion and awaiting for eruption of adult teeth. Please advise me on this.
|
Hi and welcome, After reading your history I would suggest you to get an OPG radiograph done which will show the picture of the milk teeth and the underlying erupting permanent teeth accordingly treatment can be planned. Over retained milk teeth will suppress the eruption of permanent teeth and hence they will not erupt to their final position in the mouth and tend to get impacted in the jaw bone or erupt in improper direction. You need to visit an oral surgeon who can help you out with extracting the milk teeth considering the position of permanent teeth. After this, orthodontic treatment can be applied to the reposition the permanent teeth to their actual position.I hope this helps, take care

I come Up in my feet a red itchy rash with a blister on my toe,Ive been to the doctors a few times first they told me it was chill blains an gave me anitibiotics to help clear the blister. Ive finished the course and the blister has gone, but the rash has appeared to have spread. It had spread to my hands, and a few over my knees. I went back to the doctor an they said it was hand foot an mouth, but over the night its spread to my buttocks, my thighs, my legs, my arms, top of my neck and I can hardly walk as all my muscles ache. They are red spots with whiteheads.. Could you please tell me what you think it is
|
Hello Amelia, Welcome to Chat Doctor Read your history, It could be hand foot and mouth disease. It is a viral infection, and therefore you can have malaise and muscle aches as well. Only thing is you don't seem to have mouth ulcers which is very common in HFMD. Lesions are usually seen over hands and feet, but buttocks can also be involved. Again thighs, neck and arm is not usual but possible. Did your doctor rule out Chicken Pox. Chicken pox vesicles will have an implicated center (depressed). It is better to take a dermatologists' opinion. Chat Doctor. Hope this helped. Take care.

Hi can you please give me some advice. I have several issues I have Chiari Malformation plus degenerative disc disease in my neck and bone spurs between my C5 and C6. The headaches and neck pain is so severe most days it s hard to function. I currently am in the throes of a violent headache. Can you give options on what I can do to decrease the pain (tried hot bath, cold and got compresses OTC pain meds and RX med of fioricet). This is day 4 of this.
|
hello must see a neurosurgeon and get the surgery done for Chiara malformation.commonly laminectomy of c1-2 is carried out with fusion, removal of osteophytes and decompression to ease the pressure from protruding brain cerebellar through foramen magnum into upper part of base of neck. This is a permanent cure. Medicines for pain can give only temporary relief and, there can be serious risk to respiratory and neurogenic functions if left untreated. So consult earliest a neurosurgeon best wishes

A month ago, I has congestion, headache and coughing. I went to a clinic and they gave an antibiotic, z-pac. I finished that and felt somewhat better, then had a relapse. I went to my dr. and got another antibiotic which made me very sick, including nausea, loose stool, bad headache. I stopped it and called my dr., and got put on an inhalor. I tried it a few days and did not get better. Now I still have congestion, a lot of coughing, back pain, chest discomfort and bad heatburn. What can I do?? What can I have??
|
Hi.you have cough, congestion and headache for past few days, and you are not better with antibiotics and inhalers. Possibly It's time we need to take up investigations. Take an X-Ray chest (PA View), complete mammogram, erythrocyte sedimentation rate(ESR), Absolute eosinophil count(AEC), sputum culture. Depending on the results the treating physician should manage the cough. The other two symptoms of headache and gastritis are easy to manage. Right now we cannot predict the diagnosis. Feel free to contact us in case you need a second opinion on the investigation and diagnosis. Take care.

can mold cause high blood pressure? i am on two medications, a diuretic and zestril, lately my blood pressure is up again and the doctor gave me another medication. I noticed that where I work is very humid under the carpet and they are testing for mold. I am sure there is mold because I can smell it.
|
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. No, mold inhalation can nothing cause high blood pressure. So no need to worry about mold exposure. Uncontrolled hypertension inspire of taking antihypertensive Chat Doctor. So better to do regular aerobic exercise like running, cycling, swimming etc. If you are obese then try to lose some weight and stay fit and healthy. Strict salt restrictions in diet is also needed. Avoid stress and tension if you are having stressful life. Don't worry, you will be alright. Mold is not causing hypertension. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.

I had a lission about the size of little finger nail removed for biopsy, it is irrgularly shaped and slightly raised. it has been a weeknow waiting for the results, they said the results are taking longer becouse the Oncologist is looking at a \" deeper cube or slide\" of the lission. first if i can send you a pic of this lission can you tell me what you think. and second why would he want to look deeper Cube or slide\" should that scare me or set me more at ease. Thank you Greg Cant sleep or eat

Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You may have some benign lesion or cancer. You should wait for your biopsy results. If you send me pictures of your histopathology images then I can tell you whether it is cancer or not. From picture of lesion we can't say that. They are taking deeper section. It is to search invasion in to deeper structure or one cancer loci. Don't worry much about that. Just be relaxed. Wait for your biopsy results. Then you should take treatment accordingly. Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Wish you a very good health.

i am 44 yr old female, 130 lbs, dont smoke drink occasionally, eat fairly healthy, not enough excersise, and have been on 40mg lisinipril for 1 1/2 yrs. my head feels like its going to blow up when my blood pressure gets too high. i have had a headache for 12 days now, nothing cures it. took blood pressure today 144/100. any suggestions?
|
Hello and thank you for using Chat Doctor. I carefully read your question and I understand your concern. I will try to explain and give you my opinion. You should know that when we treat hypertension our goal is to keep mean blood pressure values below 140 / 90 mmHg. A person might have high value during emotional and physicals trees so It's mandatory to judge on mean values. If you have mean values that exceeds 140 / 90 mmHg than we should arrange your medical treatment. If I was your treating doctor I would ask some examination to evaluate your actual situation like a cardiac echo, a full blood analyze to check renal function and maybe a holder pressure monitoring. After these we can better judge what we could do. My opinion would be to add another class of medication like blocker, calcium blocker, but you should discuss this with your doctor after the examinations I mention before. Hope I was helpful. Best regards, Chat Doctor.

I have a significant indentation on the interior left foot just behind my ankle. I just noticed this but it must have been like that for awhile as I can see that there is a smaller indentation starting on the interior right foot in the same location as the left. It is not at all painful. I am 62 years old and am very active. Play racquet sports 3 times per week. There is no redness and my ankle looks the same as always and is not sore. I am 5ft 5 and weigh 160 pounds. Any thoughts?

Hi, It is actually common for athletics to have such skin fibrosis due to wearing shoes or sketchers tight or that makes friction on this particular areas. From your history it is not painful, so I think some skin care by topical ointments for fibrosis skin and glycerin containing creams are helpful. If they increase in size or became painful you may ask your dermatologist for proper evaluation. Please consider a 5-star rating with some positive feedback if the information was helpful. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Hi I am not diabetic and am 28.5 weeks pregnant.I am not feeling the required movemnt from baby and had a sonography done.Report is come normal and I have been asked to undergo FBS and PPBS for further investigation. What is suspected here and what are the possible solutions? Pls help.
|
HI, I understand your concern. At 7th month, baby starts descending in pelvis... so fetal movements are reduced than before. If USG report & fetal heart activity is normal there is nothing to worry about. You have been Fasting & postprandial blood sugar though you are non-diabetic, there is possibility of pregnancy diabetes(which leads to obesity in mother & increased fetal weight. Your doctor might have some doubts, so he has ordered the investigations to exclude pregnancy diabetes. Thanks.

Hi! I am a 50 year old woman going through menopause

Welcome at Chat Doctor I have gone through your and being your physician I completely understand your health concerns. For how long you're suffering from it? Any other associated problem? Like diabetes or hypertension? Are u having fever? Any other lymph node swelling in your body? Is swelling on both sides of neck or not? In my opinion it is better to diagnose it by examining rather than illustrating, anyway, based upon your history, if these are red pimples with a pus then it is a myogenic infection mean it may be due to staph, plus strep can also cause it , BUT, it can be a viral infection with super added bacterial one too. As far as vibration is concerned i don't think its indication here in this scenario. If you're having associated URINARY TRACT INFECTION then it can be justified.if you don't get any improvement then consult your doctor again meanwhile stay calm and use acetaminophen to relieve pain get well soon Hope your query is adequately ad Chat Doctor.

HiI have been regularly sneezing for months now. A few sneezes every couple of hours at varying times of the day.For the last 2 days I have been really tired and had an achy body. I suddenly vomited once yesterday and last night developed cold/flu like symptoms which are persisting today. Now including bloody in my mucus.Could this be allergy related? Or are there unrelated symptoms?
|
There are 2 possibility one could be a viral infection like Flu if you have aching body, sneezing. But if you say you have been having sneezing for few months this could be signs of allergic rhinitis. Sometimes the lining of your nose might be inflamed and vigorous blowing of the nose can cause bleeding. If the mucus from your nose remains blood stained even after you recover its worth getting an opinion from ENT specialist. Have you tried taking regular antihistamines for ongoing sneezing like Levocetirizine 10\u00a0mg daily

My daughter is almost 6 months old. She got RSV at about 3 months and we have been struggling with a cough and wheezing off and on since then. Is there anything I can do to help her with the wheezing? Her cough is dry and sometimes sounds a little like a seal.

Hello there, Thanks for writing us, The symptom of barking cough (seal like cough), without sputum expectoration most commonly favor towards a viral infection in the age group of your child. ALTO is the most common underlying conditions in most of the cases. Supportive care is must for your child.

|
Welcome to Chat Doctor Good Date fact that you have thick hair on your face from recent times makes it mandatory to do an ultrasound of your abdomen to look for a Chat Doctor. Get your DHEA, LH, FSH, blood sugar tests done as well to rule out Polycystic ovarian disease which can cause infertility and miscarriages. If you do have POD then you need to get appropriate treatment for that. Kindly get tested for the common conditions which cause infertility and then get the correct treatment. Don't worry.

I have been suffering from Disc problem from last 5 years. I works in QC Department As A Analyst in a Pharma company. Somtimes I face severe pain due to overtime or excess works.

Hi, Thanks for writing in. The lower back is made up of an alignment of small bones. These bones have sponge like discs between them and the spinal cord passes along the back of these bones through the spinal canal. You seem to be having one of the discs protruding between the bones and this protrusion is backwards and causing narrowing of the spinal canal. You are having these discs protruding in to the spinal canal at more than one level and causing pinching of nerve roots leading to severe pain in your back and legs. There are patients who get relief by doing physiotherapy and taking neurogenic pain relievers. Injections give relief as you have experienced earlier. However, this might nor always happen. If your pain is severe and not responding to medical treatment then the disc protrusion needs to be removed by doing a small surgery at the lower back region. Presently, laser assisted surgical techniques are also available. You can try to feel more comfortable at work by taking small breaks every 30 minutes and not straining your back.

Hello, It means all alright, prostate is enlarged, bladder wall is thickened due to effect that bladder has to work hard to move urine through prostate. No lymph nodes means no growth in Chat Doctor.

Hi there, You definitely need a urologist and gynecological evaluation. 1. First I would like to ask you of any history of unprotected sexual activity or any history of sexually transmitted disease. If that's the case, it could give rise to chlamydia or gonorrhea which could be persistent unless you treat it. I would advise gynecologist evaluation for that. 2. Diabetes could give rise to recurrent UTI. You need to test your blood sugar levels 3. There is also something called Diabetes insipid us which is due to a.hormones in the brain or b.some problems in kidney or c. as a result of stress. It could also be found out by blood testing under specific test conditions. 4. Any birth defects in your urinary tract can make u go often. 5. There is something called spasmodic bladder which could cause you to urinate more often without any obvious structural defect. It can be treated as well. Joey

My husband has continuous pain tightness in gum after wisdom tooth extraction. He has been to a dentist, periodontal, orthodontist, neurologist, oral surgeon and an ear, nose and throat specialist. He has been given Gabapenrin, Compamazapine, Prednisone and Cortisone injection...nothing seems to work. This has been ongoing for 7 months. Nothing seems to help. He has been told it is Trigeminal Neuralgia, chronic Sinusitis, etc. But still, no relief. Can you help?
|
HelloUsually this sort of complications is rare and occurs if the needle which was injected to produce anesthesia causes injury to the nerve involved. It cannot be trigeminal neuralgia or sinusitis. Injury to a nerve takes very long time to heal, and some times can even be permanent but usually resolves within a year. It helps if you take vitamin B complex along with a painkiller tablet like diclofenac. Apply warm cloth near the area from outside.1. Along with it, I need to know if the wisdom tooth was extracted in TGE lower jaw or upper?2. Has the extracted site completely healed?3. Does the tightness of gums he is feeling only in that particular area.4. If possible a photo of that area would be helpful or an image of previous X-ray. It is needed to rule out some other causes too. Thank you.

I am a Govt. employee, and having age of 30 years, my problem is that everyday when i get up from sleep at day or night some kind of white fluid is dipping from my nose it remains for long time. Moreover, it start dipping any time suddenly. I am worried about that my doctors says that it is a kind of allergy and it could not be cured permanently. I tired from using allergic tablet daily. Please give some useful suggestion.
|
Hello, Clear watery discharge from nose indicates that you are having rhinitis. If you have sneezing and associated itching of eyes, throat and ear , you are probably having allergic rhinitis. If you ever had any history of injury to head or nose, there is a possibility of CSF gonorrhea (fluid from covering of brain leaking through roof of nose). Other reasons could be vasomotor rhinitis. If you are having allergic rhinitis and are fed with tablets, the option available is nasal spray. Nasal spray containing elastane and topical steroid can give very good relief in allergic These sprays do not produce sedation or other side effects. Consult ENT surgeon or pulmonologist nearby who can decide from symptomatology whether you have allergic rhinitis. If allergic rhinitis, discuss using nasal spray. For allergic rhinitis not responding to treatment sublingual immunotherapy gives promising results

Hello, Ive recently been diagnosed with PCOS, (I have 2 children, 3 & 2) & my 3 year old was born following many IVF attempts. For the last week Ive had a dull aching pain on the right side of my abdomen, (which I have experienced before), like someone is twisting something inside. Ive also been feeling very bloated. Could this all be linked to the PCOS, or something else?Thank you
|
Hi ! Good afternoon. I am Chat Doctor answering your query. If I were your doctor, I would go for a clinical examination of yours, followed by an ultrasound of the abdomen to rule out any twisting/sudden enlargement etc., of an ovarian cyst, apart from few other pathologies relating to intestines, appendix and the urological organs. Management would depend on the clinical finding and investigation reports. I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts. Thanks for choosing Chat Doctor to clear doubts on your health problems. Wishing you an early recovery. Chat Doctor.

my sister45 just got her oviers removed and as they also found that it had matastized to her lower lung and hip bone, they did a scan and found it also on her spine and they did shoot the spine with radiation and its also in her blood. they are doing chemo 1 5hr treatments every 3 weeks for 6 treatments she is on her 3rd now. I know stage 4 is a killer how long would you think she had? I live in Salt lake she lives in Sacramento
|
Hi, thank you for your query.I'm sorry for your sisters' health. Stage IV ovarian carcinoma is the stage at which metastasis has reached far off organs. Ovarian cancer that has reached Stage IV is the most deadly form of the condition.I am sorry to say that less than five percent of the women diagnosed with Stage IV ovarian cancer survive for five years after the cancer is discovered. All the treatments done during this time are aimed at reducing the tumor bulk as removing it completely becomes nearly impossible. Generally a cytoreductive surgery is done to reduce tumor size. Cytoreductive surgery performed in Stage IV ovarian cancer patients is nearly always followed with aggressive chemotherapy treatment in an attempt to destroy the cancerous cells left in the abdomen following the surgery. The most common chemotherapy Chat Doctor. Thank you, you can contact me for any further queries.

my buddy, age about 56 is feeling a little light headed. i think he might have passed out or almost fainted in the bathroom earlier- he s not saying for sure. his blood pressure measured on a home auto check unit was 134/97. He doesn t want to go to the doctor but he is laying down. what do you think?

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. During hypertensive crisis a person might experience headaches, blurred vision, dizziness, nausea, chest pain. Losing senses usually OS not related with hypertension but maybe with a rhythm issue. So, if I was your treating doctor I will recommend some examination like a cardiac echo to evaluate heart function and walls, a full blood analyze, a holder pressure and rhythm monitoring to evaluate your values and rhythm tendency. Only after this we can better understand what we are dealing with and how to treat it. I would encourage you to convince your boddyoto meet a doctor and do what I mention before. Hope I was helpful.

Hello doctor. I had 1 tetanus shot & 3 anti rabies vaccine. my last was in june 30. This wass the recommended shot for me as suggested by the doctor. But one of my grandmss cat bit me last july 3. do i need to get vaccinated again? pls help. Thank you.
|
Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor, As you was bitten by a dog previously for which your doctor has advised the shots of antirabies vaccine and a shot of tetanus injection. As you were bitten by cat after a period of one month according to WHO categories you will be identified as Re-Exposures. Re-Exposures should receive two doses of vaccine on days 0 and 3. Even it is a Cat III bite only two doses of antirabies vaccines is sufficient. So I would suggest you to take two doses of antirabies vaccine on days 0 and 3 over the shoulder. Thank you.

Hi, You have POD, and it causes problem in ovarian follicle maturation and problem in conceiving. Generally Chat Doctor injection should have given when follicle is sufficiently matured.

You have to do sexual intercourse after receiving injection. Ovarian follicles between 18-21 mm have high chance of pregnancy. So there is chance of pregnancy. You can use Chat Doctor for 2-4 cycles. If it will not respond then ovarian Chat Doctor. Along with you can take closed, metformin, progesterone pill in second half of period. So there may chance of pregnancy.

I always shave my head incase my old hair to come back. I am even afriad of dating! my life is falling apart.
|
Hi Dear, Understanding your concern. As per your query you have alopecia problem which is mainly due to fungal infection, covering head with cap and hormonal changes. Stress is an additional factor. Need not worry. I would suggest you to consult dermatologist once for proper examination. Doctor may order skin patch test, blood test and physical examination. Doctor may prescribe you Chat Doctor. Doctor may also prescribe supplements like vitamin A, Omega-3 and vitamin E. Doctor may also recommend hair transplant with HUE technique. Take Indian gooseberry powder (half spoon) with water once a day and use almond oil to massage your hairs. Hope your concern has been resolved. Best Wishes,

hi my lmp was april 1 so that would put my due date jan7th. than my first ultrasound said jan 7th as well, but at my 20 week us the doctor says jan 27. than i had to change doctors and they said my due date is jan 6th. and im now 40 weeks and not dialated, and my cervix is closed, so the doctor randomly says im due jan 29th. how is that possible??? what if he is too big?
|
Hello dear, I understand your concern. In my opinion the EDD is calculated basing on LMP and first trimester ultrasound. According to your LMP the EDD is January 8th. If you are doubtful about the dates the first trimester ultrasound helps in knowing the EDD. The EDD given in first trimester ultrasound is confirmatory. So both the EDD s from LMP and first trimester ultrasound are same January 7th is your EDD. As you don't have pains you can wait up to 41 weeks if you don't have any complication and your fetal movements are good. So relax. Even after 41 weeks you don't get pains inducing the labor should be done after assessing the pelvis. Nothing to worry. Best regards...

I have these occasional gas pains that really hurt my abdominal area and makes it very hard to sleep... it doesnt happen that often but maybe once in 2 months, is this an ulcer ? if it isnt what is this ? i am 13 years old.
|
Hello. You would get a better help, if you could describe your symptoms in detail(duration, any variation with time, food, etc.) and the location of the pain, etc. Bloating is sensation of tightness around the abdomen area or increased in size(due to gas in the GI tract). Causes vary from consuming aerated Chat Doctor. Ulcer presents as pain mostly in the gastric region(stomach area). Pain after talking food or pain reliving after taking food. Also, may present burning sensation in the throat and neck in some cases. Get an examination done from doctor to confirm any diagnosis. Here are some tips to help you in the meanwhile.1)

|
This combination of symptoms is concerning as it could be due to serious abdominal problems. He could have digestive problems or even cancer in his stomach or colon, especially with the blood. Hiccups could result from irritation in the digestive tract. He might be having problems with his liver such as cirrhosis. The leg swelling can be from cirrhosis or blood clots. Blood clots can occur by themselves or in combination with cancer. If he were my patient, I would want to see him immediately and start testing for these possibilities. Hope this answers your query. If you have more questions, I would be happy to answer them.

I am 44 years old. 2 years ago i had transanal ablation of a pituitary adenoma that caused me acromegally. Surgery was successful and i have been living in assisted living. Recently i developed upper respiratory infection and marked bradycardia. Perhaps this is a consultation for a treatment that i should receive
|
Hi, In my opinion, you should definitely get done chest x-ray to rule out lung infection (pneumonia) because bradycardia is not seen in simple upper respiratory tract infection (URI). Bradycardia is seen with lung infection. So get done chest x-ray. If chest x-ray is normal then no need to worry much. Do warm water gargles and steam inhalation 4-5 times a day. Chat Doctor. Take levocetirizine and paracetamol combination. Avoid hard to chew food. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Hi, I m udergoing infertility treatment, i got my periods last month ie on 18th Feb. 2013. i ovulated, my doctor had prescribed susten 300, which i have been taking. i have not yet got my periods. before this i used to get my periods even after taking susten 300. should i do my pregnancy test? actually have been taking treatment for a long time, so scared of getting a negative result. so just wanted to wait and watch. i m anxious now.
|
Hello, As you are on Austen, which is a progesterone, these type of delaying of periods could be due to the hormonal tablet itself or could be due to pregnancy. But, as ovulation was documented and if you are more than 2 weeks past the ovulation date, then we should keep possibility of pregnancy as first one. So, I would suggest you to get urine pregnancy test or blood levels of b Chat Doctor done to confirm or rule out pregnancy. Hope this information is useful to you. Good luck.

Hi Ive just got a massive problem, and need some advice I was raped by a police officer when I was a cadet and it keeps playing on my mind. In dec I took an overdose as I just wanted to end my life since then I have been to the hospital and have discovered 3 lumps one on the pituitary one in between my rib cage and one in my arm. I cant deal with any of this no more and I am trying so hard not to take an overdose right now.
|
Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. For your arm and rib cage lump you need fine needle aspiration cytology or biopsy. It will give you exact diagnosis. It can be some soft tissue tumor like lipoma or neurofibroma or dermatofibroma. Surgical excision is the treatment of choice. For pituitary lump you should go for MRI. It will give exact site, location and spread. Treatment also depends on pressure symptoms. Debunking surgery can be done if needed. Consult your doctor and take treatment accordingly. Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Wish you a very good health.

Dear Doctor, I have a spot on my spine ( Thoracic area) that is painful when bending forward or hunching over. The spot where the pain radiates from also is painful and tender to the touch.

The pain hasn t gotten worst, but hasn t gone away. I m 33, male no history of health problems.

I have a strange lump in my mouth on the upper right side. It is above the gumline towards my cheek . It hurts and feels hard. My dentist took an xray and it was not an infected tooth. Do you have any thoughts on what it could be and if it needs treatment. I am on Kelex right now for my cold and flu symptoms.

Hello there, Thanks for writing your query, Lumps seen in the oral cavity can be of various types. They can be infective lesions related to tooth like periodontal abscess or gingival abscess Chat Doctor. Lumps are also formed due to being or malignant swellings of the jaws. Cysts of the jaws, related to tooth or bone may also lead to swelling. Parotitis or parotid gland swelling may also form lump behind the upper jaw line. Exact diagnosis can be made only after clinical examination and evaluation by taking radiographs. I would suggest you to get and OPG radiograph done which will help in diagnosis and accordingly treatment can be planned. Consult an oral surgeon and get the examination done. I hope this helps, take care.

Hi, If your pain arises during physical activity for example climbing stairs, then you should see a doctor to rule out heart problems. If it changes with movements, with position, and becomes worse on palpation, then most probably it is a neuromuscular pain, in this case take Ibuprofen 400\u00a0mg three times a day, if it doesn't disappear in three days or Ibuprofen doesn't work at all, then see a doctor. Take care

Dear sir,I did many blood tests and all the results were normally except the results about the liver.ALT

Hello, thanks for contacting Chat Doctor. I like your honest yin admitting about your Chat Doctor. I can see that has affected your liver and has caused some damage. Your enzyme levels are mildly elevated and the totalBilirubin is slightly high. At this stage, you can take charge and change things around for better. One thing good is liver can heal itself fast if you don't do further damage. My advice, stop all alcohol. Eat a healthy diet with lots of protein. Fresh fruit sand vegetables. Take a good Super B-Complex Vitamin along with Vitamin-E 800 i.u. and Vitamin-C 1000 mg. daily. Have your blood tests repeated in another 4-6 weeks. You should see improvement. It may be worth your while to get a sonogram of the liver to see if you have any fatty changes. Wish you well.

|
Hi. Thanks for your query. Read and understood that you are using Mifepristone PIL 1 taken yesterday, 4 in the vagina already used. You have pain like a fire in the stomach, which may be due to side effects of the pill itself. You may please take a PPI and antacid and Risperidone as there is a possibility of nausea and vomiting too. Thin liquid is indicative that the pills are working, and the abortion will take place soon. If there is any problem, please consult your Gynecologist for further care and follow-up.

I have a hard lump in the lower neck front near the middle of the clerical its in the shape of a tear drop, 1 inch wide by 2 inches long. Not painful, at times a little ache. Does not move when swallowing. What could it be? I have had other symptoms but not sure if they are connected.
|
Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. Your hard lump on the lower neck may be some soft tissue tumor like lipoma, neurofibroma or dermatofibroma.

Hi, me and my friends have decided to do something for the community and we wanted to give blood. I know there is a lot of criteria to be able to give blood and one of them is birth control and the pill. Will I still be able to give blood even though I ve been on Cerazette for the past 3 months? Thanks
|
Hello, Yes, it is ok to donate blood while on cigarette. As per the guidelines by WHO and American Red Cross women on oral contraceptive pills like cigarette or using other forms of birth control are eligible to donate. There is no documented evidence that cigarette in donated blood have caused adverse effects in a patient receiving blood transfusion. However, in the case of someone who is on long-term medications like cigarette for 3 months, it is best to check with your doctor for the same. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care

I have a 22 month old who throws up occasionally. Theres no fever that accompanies this just coughing then gagging then throwing up. It usually happends 1 or 2 times a day then quits then 1 or 2 times a day then doesnt happen for a month or so. What could be the problem?
|
Hello Such type of symptoms in a newborn 22 months baby may be due to asthmatic allergic bronchitis. Usually due to some allergen there develop bronchoconstriction. This bronchoconstriction produces whistling sound (wheezing) and if there is secondary infection (super added) there produces mucus also. This mucus when impact in throat patient develop vomiting (throw up) . When such patient visit I advise my patient to take montelukast+albuterol syrup (0.2 mg / kg body weight each) , once in day. Patient will get relief within a short period. Hot coffee also act as bronchodilator. Also give a combination of aerosol+chlorapheniramine syrup. Since all these are prescription Chat Doctor.

Hi. Earlier I rolled my ankle inward and heard a loud crack sound along with severe pain. It is swollen and sore to the touch and during movement. I fractured this same ankle 2 years ago the same way and have had many ankle injuries due to a deformity when born. Should I worry much or just keep weight off it?
|
Hi, Swollen ankles and swollen feet are common and usually not cause for concern, particularly if you have been standing or walking a lot. But feet and ankles that stay swollen or are accompanied by other symptoms could signal a serious health problem. An injury to the foot or ankle can lead to swelling. The most common is a sprained ankle, which occurs when an injury or misstep causes the ligaments that hold the ankle in place to be stretched beyond their normal range. To reduce the swelling from a foot or ankle injury, rest to avoid walking on the injured ankle or foot, use ice packs, wrap the foot or ankle with a compression bandage, and elevate the foot on a stool or pillow. If swelling and pain is severe or doesn't improve with home treatment, see your doctor. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Hi Im 33 have had psoraisis for the last 10 years but i keep getting a swollen gland on my left side of my groin.I am worried and it keeps coming up and going back down.They seems to think it is because my skin is flared.Should i be getting any more test as there is a family history of cancer.
|
Hi, Thanks for writing in. As you have been having psoriasis for 33 years, it is required to get investigated in detail concerning your lymph node enlargement. Having psoriasis could triple the risk of developing a group of cancers that affect the lymph nodes, as seen from recent medial research. Should you have painless groin lymph node enlargement then there is a higher risk of lymphomas, which are grouped together as non-Hodgkins and Hodgkin's lymphomas? They are cancers of the lymphatic system, part of the bodies immune system. Please discuss in detail with your doctor and get a detailed imaging and FNAC or biopsy of the enlarged lymph node done. This will help to confirm any malignancy or premailgnant stage and decide on an early treatment should there be any sign of a cancer. Please do not worry.

Hi, I have a problem with my bite my two teeth on my left side touch only, and the rest of my teeth are seperated by 2-3mm. I have had this problem for many years. however over the past 3-4 it has got worse. I was told many years ago that i grind my teeth, i started to wear the night guard which i purchased from the internet this kept my teeth apart during the night and so the tmj pain decreased, i was wondering if this is the reason for my open bite? look forward to hearing from you soon, attia.
|
Hello attic persons having habit of bruise or teeth grinding during night often suffer from TMJ problems including pain and in advanced stages open bite now as per your information you bought a night guard against internet and used it for some time what I would advise is that you pay a visit to your dentist preferably orthodontist who will than take an impression of your existing teeth and also have a radiographic examination of your TMJ having done that he will either make a night guard or headgear meant for you according to shape and size of your teeth and /or jaw...also he may use braces to correct your occlusion that will definitely help you reduce and subsequently end up with your pain and open bite surgery of TMJ is another option, but that goes at very advanced stage of problem and I hope that...that's not the case with you best of luck

Hello, My dad is 90 and his creatinine level reached 5.9 three weeks ago. He is scheduled for fistula surgery next week for dialysis. He has drastically changed his diet since the 5.9 reading and his level keeps dropping each week, down to 4.4 now. My question is if it continues to drop to say 3.5, is it possible to hold off on dialysis for awhile even with the fistula in him? His other health issues have all gotten better since he is eating foods that lower his creatinine level. He is also feeling better already. Thanks, Scott
|
HelloThanks for query. Your father who is patient of Chronic Renal failure has modified his diet resulting into lower down his creatinine levels and improvement in his general condition. In a given situation you can certainly withhold Dialysis for a couple of weeks as along as his serum creatinine levels are low.(below 4)The A. V fistula that he has is to ease dialysis and does not necessarily mean that he should be subjected to dialysis. It can be used any time when need arises. Chat Doctor.

As you are undergoing chemotherapy these Chat Doctor. These bone marrow a place where Red blood cells are produced. So many of the times patient feels fatigue, and weakness. So after completion of your chemotherapy the side effects of will be resolved. But bear in mind sometimes it destroys the bone marrows seriously that can't regenerate. So my suggestion to start Haematinics and keep a watch on your RBC count. You can talk to your physician regarding it.

Dear sir, Five years back I was tested Hbsag positive during medical check up while going in Gulf for job but later on being medicall unfit by employer they refused my visa. Then I visited a Agstro in Delhi and he recommended me some tests LFT, Ultrasound, HBV DNA and he told me that I am a carrier but in inactive state. Then I felt demoralised as he told me that there is no solution and he recommended me to go for screening of the same tests every 6 months/year. I continued for two years then left. Then I had some pain in my Calf muscles in my both legs and vissited a physcian and he discovered that my liver was fatty and LFt Enzymes were borderline and he gave me sily marine and evion etc. It did not get better then I visited an ayurvedic doc. and he gave me some preparations of homemade fresh for three weeks and told me that I would become HBSG negative. My pain was some better and I never got my blood tested for HBSAG but now after 6 years I had neck pain and visited the Ortho doc. he told me to go for the blood tests and incuding LFT, KFT and HBSAG. I was shocked to know that it was negative. Kindly suggest is it possible or I should go for retest. My age is 34 years.

Hello, Hepatitis B positive cases can get immune clearance of their own, but within 6 months. If your HEP B status is positive for more than 6 months, you become a carrier, as told you by your gastroenterologist.If you had HEP B + ve status for nearly two years, as suggested by you, it seems impossible. This report needs to be done again from a very good pathological lab. There is no medicine which can cure a chronic hepatitis B carrier and make him HEP B - ve. Thanks

Hi, Doctors have recently prescribed risperidone for my 97 year old Mom who is in a care home. She sometimes has episodes when she becomes frightened to the point of crying because of something bad happening, or sees things which are scary to her. Is this the correct drug? if so how much should she be started on and when She is also taking Zoloft and Tylenol 3x per day. She has recently started sleeping a lot and has lack of appetite . We are wondering if there are side effects and how long we should allow for her system to become accustomed to the new drug

Hi, I Have gone through your query and understand your concern towards your moms' illness ....it seems that she has some behavioral disturbances ...in addition to that if she has any psychotic symptoms like talking to self, auspiciousness ... then Risperidone is the appropriate Chat Doctor. .and it has some additive effects like sedation which definitely helps in improving the course of disease...it must be started with minimum depending on the severity and slowly tapered to effective dose can understand that crying, getting scared and negative thoughts...all come under course of disease... I would suggest you to consult your doctor to get clear idea about titration of

Hi, Liver enzymes may be raised because of various causes. In your case, some may be more possible but in every case, it requires evaluation of the cause. Most common causes of such liver derangement are Alcohol, Viral hepatitis, Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, Chat Doctor. Gamma GT is most commonly raised due to alcohol intake and in case you take alcohol, you need to keep a control over it. If you don't take it, you need following tests

I have a ovarian tumor and have a uti constantly ill take antbiotic and still have the same problem pressure pain burning.....i have had this tumor for two years i have gained over a hundred pounds ciuld it be caused by the tumor im always nausaus and have incontinente im trying to get this taken out through a City hospital plan but its just taking too long i still dont know if its cancer all i have done was a pap and vaginal ultrasound ...could u give me some advice
|
Hello and thanks for asking the query.First you have not mentioned your age and would also like to know the details of ultrasound report about the size of the tumor and other imaging features. You have also not mentioned if the size of the tumor has increased or it's the same over two years. There are some tumor markers(Ca-125,B-ChatDoctor, LDH, Alfa-fetoprotein) which can suggest whether your tumor is benign or malignant before planning for removal of the tumor. The list of investigations is long, My advice to see a good gynecologist in your area who will advise you further tests depending on your age and USG features of your tumor, Pain, burning and incontinence could be because of UTI, Get Urine test done and if necessary get urine culture and sensitivity so that appropriate antibiotic can be started, Unusual gain in weight could be because of hypothyroidism Get your TSH tested. Pap smear is for cervical cancer and not ovarian tumor. Hope I have answered all your queries wish you good health and speedy recovery.

|
Hello! Welcome and thank you for asking on Chat Doctor! Regarding your concern, I would explain that your actual blood pressure values are above the normal ranges. The cold sweats could be related to a possible viral infection. Have you measured your body temperature? Do you have fevers? Coming to this point, I would recommend consulting with your attending physician for a careful physical exam and some tests

Its clear case of cervical spondylosis or cervical disc syn Chat Doctor. Inter vertebral disc spaces in cervical spine region have reduced due to varied reasons. Nerves emanating from these are compressed. The areas of body (arms) where they supply fall numb. Cervical collar support, traction, Yoga neck exercise will strengthen neck muscles to hold spine well and keep gaps so that nerves are not pressed. Sometimes Osteophytes - cartilaginous shoots off Inter vertebral joints also put pressure on nerves. Do not exercise when pain is there. Medicine is hot water bath, hot fomentation etc. Tab. Rumply forte and Cap Shirt are herbal, safe Ayurveda medicines 1 bid is sufficient. Turmeric 1 tsp in warm water or milk is natural anti-inflammatory. If severe pain, may take allopatry anti-inflammatory

Hi my 5 month old son has symptoms of allergic asthma. I myself was diagnosed about a month ago. Im using a puffer now and I was wondering what I can do to help him sleep at night. he wakes up coughing at least 4-5 times every night and seems always congested and has been having a hard time drinking his bottles. other than using saline drops and a nasal aspirator, Ive also closed off his heat vent (that is the cause of the allergy, we heat our house with a wood furnace) is there anything else I can do? are there medications that can help?

Hello, I would like to know what are his symptoms of asthma and how it was diagnosed as it is very difficult to definitely diagnose asthma at this young age.

Do you remember choking episode while swallowing chewing the gum? Choking is more sensitive clue to aspiration of contents into windpipe. Post choking you might feel tightness in chest, shortness of breath temporarily. Only way to confirm whether you have aspirated is to take a ct scan of chest. Anxiety also can also cause an asthma attack. If you are on anti-asthmatic inhalers I recommend you to use it if there is difficulty in breathing and consult your doctor if needed.

I have dry cough and it feels like a tingle or a tickle at the top of my sternum that causes me to cough but nothing is there. It would usually have gone away by now but its been a few weeks now. Im not sure it it wad from working and cutting blackberry bushes and inhaling the pollen or what.
|
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. By your history and description, possibility of irritant cough is more. And it can be due to all the things you have mentioned like cutting and working blackberry bushes, inhaling pollen etc. These things are highly irritant in nature. When they inhaled, they cause inflammation in the trachea (center of chest-sternal area). And this gives you tingle or ticket sensations at the top of sternum. So better to avoid such things or wear face mask while doing those activities. At present take combination of antihistamine and anti-inflammatory Chat Doctor. Do warm water gargles 5-6 times a.

Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor, Low hemoglobin levels suggest anemia. Anemia occurs due to many causes like blood loss, decreased blood production and increased destruction of red blood cells. Thus, further investigations are required to know the cause and type of anemia. Investigations include-red cell indices and peripheral blood smear examination. Once the type of anemia is known, further, management can be planned. Consult your primary healthcare provider for further work up. Thanks and take care Chat Doctor.

My mother aged 58-year-old is suffering from fever for the last 12 days. First the fever was high-grade with intense shivering and later after a course of antibiotic the fever is still continuing but is low grade. The blood test showed negative malaria as well as typhoid symptoms but some alarming results were as this Hb-8.8, Lymphocytes-9 ten days back and now 15, ESR-40 then and now 50, platelet count now 198 and then it was 165. But the Hb has decreased to 7.1. Kindly analyze.

Hi your he is definitely low. And ESR is high. Your lymphocytes counts are low suggest it may be high neutrophil count. These may be seen in inflammation or infection in some part. Your platelets count is normal no need to worry regarding that. High ESR may be seen in inflammation, anemia, autoimmune disease, malignancy, paraproteinemia etc. anything can be there which causing high ESR and low he. search for the cause and then take treatment accordingly. You will definitely get benefits.thanks for using Chat Doctor.

Thank you for consulting in Chat Doctor, these white lumpy bits are undigested particles of food-may be potato or any starch from carboy Chat Doctor. Doubtless you know such smell can indicate infection or disbacteriosis of intestine. That's why we need additional methods of examination

My dad had an MRI scan on the brain and found out that he has microvessles ischemic changes, he also had a liver transplant and on the list for another transplant for his kidney and liver again, due to kidney disease and chirrosis in the liver, is what s happening related to his previous issues? And is there a treatment?

Dear madam/ sir, thanks for your question. Ischemic changes in the brain is quite common after a certain age in most hypertensives (people with high blood pressure). Without a detailed history of your dads medical problems it's not possible to attach significance or dismiss this MRI finding. The fact that he now has kidney faille puts him at high risk of cardiovascular problems like stroke, heart attach etc., and he should be on an antiplatelet agent (e.g

My 25 month old daughter is having cold. She had runny nose whole of yesterday and today morning vomited minutes after having her glass of milk. She has a very mild temperature. Should I give her something like pedialyte? What medicine and foods will you recommend?

Hi... Thank you for consulting in Chat Doctor. Cough and cold are viral 95% of the times in child Chat Doctor. For cold, you can use anti-allergics like cetirizine and for nose block, saline nasal decongestants will do. Paracetamol can be given in the dose of 15\u00a0mg/kg/dose (max ceiling dose 500\u00a0mg) every 4-6th hourly, that too only if fever is more than 100F. I suggest not using combination medicines for fever, especially with Paracetamol. For cold, you can use Cetirizine at 0.25\u00a0mg/kg/dose every 12 hourly for 3 days. For nasal block, plain saline nasal

hi this is my 1st pregnancy & i had sex during ovulation & 13 days after ovulation i started 2 spot at 1st it was pink then brown then fresh red blood my uterus is sore & i have all my pregnancy symptoms i also bleed again this month & it was spotty for 5 days with cramping around my hips & i was just wondering where or what could be causing the blood?
|
Hello, and I hope I can help you today. It is unclear from your question how you are sure you are pregnant; did you do a urine pregnancy test? Pregnancy symptoms can vary widely between women and the most common sign of pregnancy is a missed period. If you have had a positive pregnancy test during this time, bleeding on and off like this can be a sign of miscarriage or an abnormal pregnancy. I suggest you see a GUN doctor who can measure the level of pregnancy hormone in your blood and perform and ultrasound test to make sure the pregnancy is developing normally. I hope I was able to answer your question and best of luck for the rest of the pregnancy,
