Our family friend suggested me to consume Kalarchikai medicine, powdered mixed with pepper and honey to have it for one mandalam (48 days). I have completed nearly 44 days by consuming one small ball of the mixture every morning and before two weeks I got my periods.

As far as small cysts are concerned they are unmatured eggs which failed to induce menstrual cycle previously, as a result, they got collected in the ovary and they will remain in the ovary. Now, you have got your periods you can start trying for conception. But I advise you to do it under the supervision of a nearby gynecologist because egg size is important while conception and that you can know by ovulation study.

I have a sore throat for more than 2 weeks now and I am done taking antibiotics (dalacin c) for 7 days but it is not going away.. I feel that there's something stuck inside my throat / esophagus. I have a mild headache but no fever. Pain scale is ranging 4-6 out of ten. I also gargle every 3 hours using difflam - C. Gender : M Age : 36 Ht : 5'11 Wt: 191 lbs | 2,405 | If this got worse after antibiotics, it is likely thrush (a yeast infection of the throat often found after antibiotic and/or steroid treatment. See if you can get your physician to prescribe fluconazole 150mg daily X 10 days (not 3 days like prescribed for female yeast infections...this would not be long enough. If it got much better after the antibiotic and has stayed level, you might consider that whatever bacteria you had was partially resistant and another should be tried. A good one to consider (if you have not had this yet) is Clindamycin 450md three times a day X 10 days)..if you have had that already, consider Amoxicillin Clavulinic acid 875mg twice a day X 10 days. If none of these are the case, see an ENT to rule out an abscess behind the tonsil, know as a peritonsillar abscess., or some other cause | Q.

Hello doctor, I am not feeling comfortable with my scrotum. I feel it is squeezed and not free. Some time ago I had pain. I am feeling this for two years. Also, I visited a urologist who saw this and went through the sonography and urine test. But he said I cannot find anything. What might be the cause? | 2,406 | Hi. This looks like chronic prostatitis (long standing inflammation of the prostate). It can be confirmed by a rectal exam, sometimes enlarged prostate on sonography and in some cases positive urine or semen cultures. In some cases, diagnosis is clinical as all tests are negative. Treatment includes long term antibiotics, anti-inflammatory, and medicines to soothe irritated nerves. I would suggest a semen culture, a post-prostatic-massage urine culture and sonography of prostate. Start tablet Moxiflox (Moxifloxacin) 400 mg once daily for 10 days, Enzoflam (Paracetamol, Diclofenac, and Serratiopeptidase) twice daily for seven days, Pantocid (Pantoprazole) 40 mg once daily for seven days, and Tryptomer (Amitriptyline) 10 mg once daily for 10 days. Moxiflox may cause joint pain or tendinitis, Tryptomer may cause sedation. Let me know the above reports and also how it goes. | Q. I feel discomfort in scrotum with squeezy pain.

Hello doctor, I had an aorta aneurysm removed four weeks ago. While in the hospital and rehabilitation, I complained of my ear hurting. I often collect ear wax, so I thought that was the problem. Now that I am home and have a CNA and therapist helping me get stronger, the ear pain is the only pain I have. She put Debrox and Hyland’s earache drops in my ear. She flushed the ear with warm water for two days. The pain is so bad that I can hardly eat because chewing hurts. It hurts in my mouth too. I have been putting saltwater in, but it does not seem to help. Might I have an ear infection? I am not well enough to go to an ENT’s office, and I am not sure if they are open. Any advice you can give would be greatly appreciated. | 2,411 | Hello. It is likely that you have developed otitis externa following wax removal. Syringing often leaves some moisture in the ear and this provides an ideal medium for fungi to grow in. Do you have pain while touching your tragus or moving your pinna? If you have severe pain then you may need analgesics. It would be better to use Paracetamol 500 tablet as and when required. You can also use ear drops containing (Clotrimazole, Neomycin or Ofloxacin, Beclomethasone, and Lidocaine) eg. Candibiotic ear drops. If there is visible swelling or redness of the ear canal you can also use a topical ointment like Mupirocin cream with a q tip twice or thrice a day. Hot fomentation around pinna also helps in reducing pain and inflammation. | Q. After getting hot water flush, my ear pain worsen. Is this ear infection? |

Hello doctor, Should I get a permanent retainer months after braces and use of a removable retainer? Part of my overbite has returned since I got my braces off due to tongue thrusting. Partly because I never wore my retainers as much as I should have. Can I get a permanent retainer at this point? Or is it too late? | 2,421 | Hello. First of all, you should wear your retainer regularly. Ideal position of teeth or occlusion which is obtained with the help of orthodontic treatment is maintained by regular use of orthodontic retainer. Use of orthodontic retainer is equally important and is part of orthodontic treatment. You can read about orthodontic retainer from icliniq articles. As per your description, you have tongue thrust, so it should be corrected otherwise it will be a cause of relapse after successful orthodontic treatment. You can read about tongue thrust from icliniq articles. As you have stated that your bite has relapsed, so if you use permanent retainer then it will retain faulty occlusion. This is what you can see about changes. But as the bite has relapsed, definitely there must have some other changes or movement of teeth happened (you have not uploaded any image of your concern area), that you cannot see but being expert in that field we can see. So for any kind of second opinion one has to check clinically or at least have an image of your concern area. So kindly upload an image of your concern area or teeth for appropriate treatment planning. | Q. After removal of braces for open bite, I failed with removable retainers. Can I get permanent retainer? |

Kindly suggest me what I can do further. I got married before one and a half years and I am much worried about my pregnancy. I have gallstones as well. | 2,433 | Hello. I just read your query. See Kalarachi Kai choornam is helpful in amenorrhea. As far as small cysts are concerned they are unmatured eggs which failed to induce menstrual cycle previously, as a result, they got collected in the ovary and they will remain in the ovary. Now, you have got your periods you can start trying for conception. But I advise you to do it under the supervision of a nearby gynecologist because egg size is important while conception and that you can know by ovulation study. Ovulation study is performed under the supervision of a gynecologist. For gall stones, surgical intervention is required generally. Medicine is not of much help. | Q. Will Kalarchikai cure multiple ovarian cysts in PCOD? |
Hi doctor, During masturbation I just rub the tip of the penis and not the entire penis. Is it a wrong way of doing? I do not get excited during sex and unable to ejaculate.

Hello doctor, I have a case of a 47 year old man, who went through a car accident. The scan showed a compressive fracture of T12 wth predominance into the canal 7 mm. The patient was told to stay in bed with a plastic corsage around his waist to prevent sudden movements. Around two to three months later the patient was able to sit and stand, but he did not remove the plastic corsage. Then five months later, which is two weeks ago, the patient could not move his right leg and he could barely feel his right arm. He did a scan and the result as follows. Multiple subcortical and periventricular hypo dense lesions on both hemispheres. Calcified arteriosclerotic plates on arteria vertebralis dexter. No distinguishable lesions on posterior cranial fossa. Free basal cisterns. Free paranasal sinuses. Overall, it says that the multiple ischemic lesions lead towards vasculitis. I must include that the patient suffers from heart pressure and diabetes. Can you lead me to a specific path of treatment?

Hi doctor,I am 20 years old. I had a pretty bad cold three weeks ago. The cold seems to have subsided, but my lingual tonsils seem to be enlarged. I also have little bumps on the back of my throat. I have drainage in the bottom of my throat as well. Also, a few patches of white under my right tonsil. I do not seem to have any painful symptoms, except once in a while my thyroid or Adam's apple presents discomfort. But, nothing painful though. I will include pictures if that is an option. I had an appointment with an ENT and he said everything looked normal. Just curious as to why this has not subsided or showed any real signs of recovering. It had been occurring for about three to four weeks. Thank you. | 2,439 | Hi. Lingual tonsils may get enlarged during an episode of upper respiratory tract infection. Also with details you have provided it appears that you have some remnant inflammation in your upper respiratory tract. That is causing the granular pharyngitis, tonsillitis and mucus drip down the throat. I suggest you take the following medications. Tablet of Trypsin-Chymotrypsin combination that acts as anti-inflammatory twice a day before meals, with Acetaminophen tablet as and when needed, with steam inhalation and Chlorhexidine mouth gargles. Continue this for five days. I also suggest you a tablet of Omeprazole once daily before breakfast for two weeks. If still your symptoms do not subside, then we need to do a throat swab and an endoscopy. Consult your doctor, discuss with him or her and take the medicine with consent.

Hi doctor, I am a 27 year old male. I am suffering from a unique neurological disorder for about 5 years. I have consulted many doctors, but there is no improvement. So, I want your suggestion in regard to this. I am explaining my problem below. Five years ago, one morning when I got up from bed, I felt numbness in my left lower limb.

I stopped a strict 800 calorie diet with 6-7 days of HIIT and light weight lifting about 3 weeks ago. I developed extreme migraines, fatigue, body pain and energy loss as I also tried to stick to 20-25g of carbs every day. I lost about 8 kg being on this regime for two months. Being 57,5 kg and 149cm tall prior to diet I was about 49,5 after. Although I was so proud of my weight loss I became extremely unhappy, moody unsociable and felt isolated. I’ve also resorted to binge eating and cannot stop consuming carbs and unhealthy foods. I still try to weight lift and it is helping me mentally and luckily a lot of the weight I put back on (4-5kg) has gone to my glutes but my belly too which makes me super insecure. I wanna lose a little bit of the weight again but in a healthy way and still build muscle the way I enjoy through weight lifting. What kind of eating regimen do I implement to do this? And to repair my relationship with food? | 2,444 | Q. I want to lose weight healthily and build muscles. What kind of eating regimen do I implement? | |

Hi doctor, I am a 36 year old female. I had Mohs surgery on my temple. My hole is big and it is pretty deep. They went three rounds.

Hi doctor, I am a 15 year old boy and I have hyperhidrosis. I sweat so much. My shirt cannot stay on for at least 5 minutes. In some half an hour to one hour my whole shirt and armpit area will drench in sweat. Yes, I take a shower twice a day and put deodorant every day. I have even tried the antiperspirant deodorant, but that did not stop it and I think it made it worse. I really want to believe it is just puberty as this has been going on since I was 12 or 13. But, something tells me that it is not because of puberty. Everyone else at school does not have this problem and some relatives in my family has it too. Just like my shirt, my pants will start soaking after 30 minutes of sitting down. I really want a diagnosis or close to one before I actually go to a doctor as I have not yet regarding my issue. Also are there any home remedies or other over-the-counter deodorant to help minimize this issue or completely stop it? I am really fit and regularly lift weights, play lots of sports (soccer, boxing, etc.,) and keep my body in good shape. I know that weight lifting could not be a problem if that was a suggestion. I sweat a lot when I am in social places such as school or when I go out. It is not because of anxiety, but I rarely feel nervous when my arms are getting drenched. This is a more serious problem in the morning either at home or at a social place and gradually calms during the afternoon when I am at home. It is so bad that my armpits can drench two layers of clothing. For example, if I wear a shirt and a jacket over it, then it does not really matter how many layers and by the end of the day my clothing will be soaked in sweat. I do not really have any symptoms besides the fact that I am always on alert when I am out. This is really embarrassing and I have no idea what to do about this. Please help. | 2,452 | Hi.

Hi doctor, For a while, my memory has been really bad. A recent event with my memory is as follows. My alarm goes off at 7:04 AM and I looked at my clock at 7:05 AM and I could not remember how my alarm had gone off, which was only a minute later. But, things I memorized before some years are still remain in my head. For example, as a hobby, I learnt mathematical pi, I can still recite it. But, I have forgotten some numbers and I am frequently mixing things up. Another thing that has happened is that I cannot sleep at nights. I have to leave the window open and wrapped in several blankets to sleep, because either I feel too hot or too cold where in a split second I am either sweating or shivering. I also get massive waves of heat or cold. My hands and feet normally go cold and numb during my cold episodes and when I get hot, I feel dizzy and nauseous. I feel distressed. I generally see myself as a person who barely eats or drinks, but for the past month I have been drinking three times more than usual and eating full, but healthy meals.

Hi doctor, Before 16 years, I had two high risk exposure with sex workers and the risk was condom break in both situations. After three months from my last exposure I did ELISA test for HIV 1 and 2. It came back negative. Again, I did the same mistake after one year, condom break with a sex worker. Then after five years I did HIV test ELISA 1 and 2 and it came back negative. I was about to get married that time. I did not believe the results because my brain keeps telling me maybe the last laboratory did not do a good job or maybe the one who is working in the laboratory did not know how to perform the test. They convinced me it as negative and I do not have the virus. I did my best to believe it and move on in my life. I got married and when my wife got pregnant, she did the HIV test in her first and third trimester during her pregnancy and it came back negative. My questions are, is preforming ELISA test hard or easy? I do not know what ELISA generation it was. Should I believe and trust the laboratory? Is it possible that it has been more than 13 years from my first high risk exposure and I am still in a good health? Can my wife get HIV from me? Please explain. | 2,455 | Hi.

My 3.4year old kid has nasal polyps which is 3/4th coveres into his left nostril and 1/4th covered in right nostril, he always breaths through his mouth, whenever he does some activity he feels little dypsnea, but never stops being naughty, he snores while sleeping which is more concern to me. Till now, he did say any headache or other issues like pain in nostril or something, please please need your help. Due to this lockdown can't visit ent clincs near by. | 2,459 | Hello, welcome to iCliniq Nasal blockade due to any cause be it adenoids or polyps do cause snoring.It is because any obstruction in the the nasal cavity nasopharynx does alter the normal resonating properties of the nasopharyngeal chamber causing snoring. The masses you are seeing are not polyps. They are turbinates. Turbinates are normal structures. The left one seems to be enlarged though. What problems does your child have ? Does he complain of nasal obstruction? Is his sleep disturbed? He is probably having adenoids. Adenoids usually grow only up to 5 to 6 years and disappear on their own by 9 to11 years. However if it is causing difficulty in breathing , then you can get them removed. However snoring isn't that much a problem. You can use decongestants like Otrivin P nasal drops. that would help relieve the congestion and improve breathing. | Q. My 3. 4-year-old son breathes through his mouth and snores due to nasal polyps. What to do? |

Hello doctor, I have a 5-month-old baby boy. I feed him mother's milk only till now. By next month I need to join my job. So this month I want to start other foods. Which food can I give to him? | 2,465 | Hi. As your baby reached five months, great that you only gave exclusive breastfeed. Now once he approaches six months you can start giving weaning diet. All homemade stuff along with breastfeeding until 2-year of age. It is always better to introduce baby with rice potato first as they are gluten-free and gradually built-up to multi cereal diet like grilled thick dal, mashed banana, mashed dal, mashed roti, bread, biscuit mixed in sweetened undiluted milk, cheeku, mango, and papaya as snacks. Basically our aim is to give small energy dense feeds at frequent intervals. You can add ghee or oil to make it more energy dense. Until 6-12 months keep frequency three to four times at least per day if breastfed. Always make the baby sit on your lap and then feed and maintain all the hygiene and clean your hands before preparing food and while feeding. Avoid all packed food. | Q. My son is 6 months old and is exclusively breastfed. What food can I give him? |
Hello doctor, A doctor gives an injection to my mother. After 45 days that starts to pain with swelling and red area of about 7 inches. I checked again. He asked to take Oxidil IV injection. After six Oxidil injections, the pus comes out and the red area decreases. Now pus does not come and we are using a bandage on it. Oxidil was stopped now and after about one week pus comes again today and the red area is about 1.5 square inches. The area below that red is hard. What do you suggest? Should I use some more Oxidil or Augmentin? She is 65 years old and we are trying to avoid surgery. Kindly guide me. | 2,466 | Hello. I understand the problem your mother is facing. According to the history you have provided I believe she has developed injection site abscess though it is not uncommon in elderly people it can happen. Your doctor has started her on a single antibiotic injection Oxidil (Ceftriaxone) but it is my opinion that it is better for her to undergo incision and drainage procedure. It is a small procedure once wound is opened she will have immediate relief following by antibiotics. If she has no other conditions such as diabetes her wound should heal within a week or two. If you continue to treat her only with antibiotics (Oxidil) I believe it will not subside completely and it will reoccur.

Hello doctor, My 4.5 years old child fell down in a deep pit last week and her nose skin is badly injured and cut with bleeding. Unfortunately, due to the recent Coronavirus crisis, we were unable to find any nose specialist and went to a local hospital where a general practitioner stitches her nose. Now after a week, wounds are almost normal and nose stitches are going to be removed tomorrow, but there are dark stitch marks on her nose skin which has totally changed the face shape of our child now. How can stich marks permanently be removed from her nose to restore actual previous shape? What is the treatment name of this case? Which doctor or specialist should we consult for the said treatment? Please guide. | 2,467 | Hi. Sorry to hear about the injury to your child. These injuries lead to permanent scarring if not properly stitched at the initial. Kindly attach the photo because I have to see whether the bone part is deformed or the cartilage (the front part) is deformed. If deformity is permanent it can be later mended by a plastic surgeon so for that, you have to consult a plastic surgeon later on. For darkening or minors scar marks I will advise you to use sunscreen like calamine lotion during the daytime. Vaniza gel (Polysiloxane and Silicone dioxide) twice daily over the lesions. Darkening do recover with time and scars also recover with time but if there is disfiguration of the bone of the cartilage they cannot be cured without intervention by a plastic surgeon. I hope this helps. | Q. My 4-year-old kid got her nose stitched after an injury. What should be done to remove the marks? |

Hello doctor, I am a 32-year-old female. And I have got throat pain on 22nd and met a doctor on 26th for the same. He gave me Azee 250 mg and one multivitamin for five days and I have taken it till 30th. From that day I am doing basic gargling and taking milk with pepper and haldi in the night. But yesterday I got the message that whoever visited one mall from the date 10th -17th and having any symptoms of Covid-19 should seek medical support. I visited that mall on 12th and after that, I got throat pain but it is already 22 days since I visited that mall and almost 10 days I have this throat pain. Should I consider this throat pain as a symptom? I do not have any temperature or any other problem. I called the helpline and told them that I visited the mall on 12th March but not that particular shop and told me about my current situation and the person told me to take the Azee tablet for two more days if I still have mild throat pain. I want to know since it is already 22 days I visited the mall and also my throat pain is already there for almost 10 days, do I need to worry about anything? I am very scared and panicked after seeing that news. Please help me with your suggestion. | 2,469 | Hi. Is there any cough or breathing difficulty or wheezing?

Hi doctor, I have a fungal infection for years now I believe. I have been trying to treat it back and forth since the medicines being prescribed are so expensive. Every time I see my skin healed I stop the medication. The fungal infection I first had was ringworm. Recently, my infection started acting up again, then I did the same routine taking medication and putting cream (but this time my doctor told me to use vinegar instead cause my skin was not healing well and instead make it worst), but this time I plan on finishing the medication so that I will finally be gone for good. The couple of weeks I have my skin treated well and it was healing just right until this quarantine happened. My skin was still good the first week of the quarantine then the second week my grandma showed me some vitamin D that I believe would be good since it is just vitamin D, but after a few days my skin started showing some bumps in arms also feet. They are very small bumps but also so itchy, I am still taking the same medicine prescribed to but why did bumps like this start showing up? Was this done by the vitamin while I was taking medications? Why was my skin healing when there was still school before and now is not healing properly and is looking a lot worse. I am honestly so insecure about my skin now I hope you can help me since I cannot go out and go to a near hospital. The medicine I am currently taking is Itraconazole. The cream I used to use Clotrimazole to now just pure vinegar. I drink apple cider every morning. Use a sulfur soap. These are all prescribed by my doctor. | 2,470 | Hi. Fungal infections are very difficult to treat and your case is resistant fungal infection. In such cases, I give Itraconazole as last resort only some patient respond to Itraconazole some patient respond to Terbinafine and in some both have to be given. Take Ketoconazole bath soap. Wash your clothes undergarments especially daily dry them in Sun. Wear clothes after drying the body only after drying your body properly. Avoid sweating and moist conditions keep your room dry and well ventilated. Do not wear much clothes during the night so that is sweating may promote the growth of fungus. Keep your body clean. The bumps are actually bacterial infection not fungal. l do not use any over the counter steroid in ever they also increase fungal infection follow the following treatment given below and revert me back after three weeks. Take tablet Terbinaforce 250 mg twice daily after meals for three weeks, Terbinafine cream twice daily for three weeks, tablet Citizen once daily. For itch, tablet Medicine 200 mg twice daily for five days. Review after three weeks. | Q. After taking vitamin D on my own, my recurrent skin infection happened again with bump. Why? |
Hello doctor, I have a rash on my forearms. About 4 or 5 days ago, I noticed two dark reddish almost purple spots on my right forearm when I woke up. I think they are under the skin, not raised, non-itchy. My skin is extremely dry and I neglect that so I started putting Jergen's ultra healing lotion. I thought maybe I had scratched my arms while sleeping that is what it looked like. But each day much smaller spots have appeared. The only medication I take is 1 mg Xanax twice a day for anxiety. I was diagnosed with cirrhosis before three months and spent three days in the hospital. I had a blood transfusion and treated for swelling in my feet and legs. Post-hospital stay, I was given two iron infusions. Since then I was supposed to follow up with a gastro and the hematologist for a blood draw recheck but with the Coronavirus that has not been possible for me to go in. So I do not know if this rash has anything to do with that but I would like to know what it is. | 2,471 | Hi. Sorry to hear about the problem you are having. As you have cirrhosis and iron infusion I suspect there is some blood clotting defect which is very common in this condition. These lesions are actually small hemorrhages or bleedings into the skin. They do heal with time if the clotting defect is improved or no more new bledding occur. I hope you are not having dark colored stools or nose bleeds or blood in cough of vomiting or any small injury taking more time for the blood to stop. If any of these condition persists you need to see an emergency service and get you your blood coagulation profile done. Skin is dry in your condition, use emollients do not use harsh cleansing soaps. Use only mild ones that too on alternate days. As you say new lesions are coming I am afraid you should get your coagulation profile done. If it is normal, use emollient like aloe vera on these they do subside gradually. | Q. Rash on my forearm is purple and increasing. Is this due to my previous iron infusion? |
Hello doctor, Today when I was taking my bath, as usual, I cleaned my penis shaft and cleaned the area under my foreskin.

Never go for masturbation and never go for sexual intercourse with anyone. Now I am feeling mild itching inside. Kindly suggest. | 2,472 | Hello. You seem to have short frenulum. Bleeding can be due to trauma during cleaning. If it recurs kindly see the source or exact site. For itching, you can take tablet Levocetirizine on demand. You can also apply Lignocaine 2% jelly locally (which may decrease some sensation for some time). Avoid aggressive cleaning of glans. You can use wet dry cotton for the same. Do not worry you will be fine. | Q. I noticed blood from my penis while drying after bath. Is this due to short frenulum? |

Hello doctor, I have multiple small cysts in both ovaries (PCOS). Our family friend suggested me to consume Kalarchikai medicine, powdered mixed with pepper and honey to have it for one mandalam (48 days). I have completed nearly 44 days by consuming one small ball of the mixture every morning and before two weeks I got my periods. Then I had checked whether the cysts were dissolved by having an abdomen scan. But still, small multiple follicules have been seen in it with both ovaries enlarged.

See Kalarachi Kai choornam is helpful in amenorrhea. As far as small cysts are concerned they are unmatured eggs which failed to induce menstrual cycle previously, as a result, they got collected in the ovary and they will remain in the ovary. Now, you have got your periods you can start trying for conception. But I advise you to do it under the supervision of a nearby gynecologist because egg size is important while conception and that you can know by ovulation study.

Hi doctor, I am a 33-year-old male. I would like to consult about my recurring mild cough during night time, and sneeze and runny nose in the morning that usually go away before lunchtime. I recently consulted a pulmonary doctor due to severe cough she gave me antibiotics, anti-histamine in the morning, Seretide oral spray, and medicine that uses a nebulizer. I have finished it, the cough as well as the sneezing, and runny nose went away for a couple of days. Suddenly the mild cough, sneezing, and runny nose came back. I also mentioned the recurring allergic attack to the pulmonary doctor that is why she gave me the anti-histamine because she told me that the cough might be an allergic reaction. I just take in vitamin C tablets and ginger daily. I do not use any medications right now. Last night I experienced mild cough again, I have resorted to use the Seretide oral spray because I experience slight discomfort in breathing. I have no idea what I could be allergic to? I have no food allergy. I usually have a jacket when I sleep because we sleep with air condition on. It is fine if it is just me but I sleep with my partner and a 2-year-old kid in a room. I do not have a fever or any symptoms of Coronavirus. I can no longer consult an allergologist near me due to the lockdown in our area. I hope you can put an end to this recurring problem. Thanks. | 2,484 | Hi. Please continue the antihistaminic. Preferably pair it up with Montelukast. Take the medicine at 6 PM in the evening. You need a steroidal nasal spray like Mometasone as well. Take Albuterol inhaler SOS and a Budesonide inhaler twice daily for a week. Avoid exposure to cold air from the AC. Keep the blower of Aircon away from you. Keep an optimum temperature of 25 degrees. Do not lie down directly under the fan. Keep all surfaces extremely clean and tidy. Wipe all areas with a wet cloth every few days. Keep carpets, curtains, upholsteries, puffed toys, etc., very clean and dust free. Wash your beddings twice a week with warm water. | Q. I get recurrent mild cough at night and sneeze in the morning. Why? |
Hello doctor, I have done a gastric sleeve surgery before seven months, and I recently did a rhinoplasty surgery last month. Am I allowed to have Accutane 20 mg for a period of 3 months and will I gain weight from it? | 2,485 | Hi. Accutane also known as Isotretinoin prescribed for the treatment of acne used as a last resort if no other treatments are showing a promising response. Gastric sleeve surgery is not a contraindication to take this medication and it will not cause any weight gain. Although in some studies it has been noticed that Accutane is better avoided when a cosmetic procedure such as rhinoplasty is undertaken for up to a period of six months. However, the drug has other side effects which are rare but you should have been informed by your physician before they prescribed it to you such as sensitivity to sunlight, headache, and many others. Remember that your doctor has prescribed this medication because he or she has judged that the benefit to you is greater than the risk of side effects. I hope this helps. | Q. Will Accutane intake for 3 months cause weight gain? |

As per the liver function test (LFT) of your blood, you have a mild increase in GGT (gamma-glutamyl transferase) and ALT (alanine aminotransferase). GGT suggests there is a possibility of mild damage to the liver and biliary system especially due to alcohol. We need to have full liver function reports so we can compare your AST (aspartate aminotransferase) and ALT ratio. Blood or dark brown colored vomitus is always abnormal you need to find the cause. If you are taking alcohol drinks please try to minimize. Pain in the chest with blood in the vomitus can be of a reason for stomach or esophageal pathology also. So please get checked and followup with reports. Please do CBC (complete blood count), LFT, coagulation profile and bleeding time. | Q. I have headache and increased heart rate with increased GGT and ALT. What is my problem? |
Hello doctor, My whole body gets itchy after sex. Earlier it used to be random, but now it is almost every time. My face, neck, chest, legs, even hands, and arms are involved.

I am suffering from major depressive illness,sleep deprivation,anxiety attacks,heavy breathing ,fatigue and exhaustion.i am a doctor myself, and currently taking Petril 0.5mg. I need help. | 2,496 | Hello Welcome to icliniq - How long have you been experiencing features of depression , anxiety and related symptoms? - Is there any ongoing stressor in your life that is exacerbating your symptoms ? Being a doctor can itself be an exhausting and demanding job. - I note that you are taking Petril 0.5 mgs ( clonazepam). Petril is good for short term management of stress , anxiety and help you to calm down. As you know it is not recommended for long term use due to risk of dependence and tolerance. You can use petril occasionally as needed for upto 4 weeks - If depression and anxiety symptoms are severe and persistent, you will benefit by taking SSRIs ( like Fluoxetine, Sertraline or Escitalopram). - In addition to medication, make lifestyle changes to improve your mood. Regular exercise helps. Try walking for atleast 20-30 mins daily. Talk to a trusted family member /friend about any ongoing difficulties. If feasible, consider CBT which will be helpful to manage and prevent relapse of depression & anxiety Hope this helps. Take care. | Q. I am suffering from major depressive illness, sleep deprivation, and anxiety attacks. I need help. |
Hello doctor, I need a second opinion on my ultrasound result. Transvaginal ultrasound reveals cyst on ovary or hydrosalpinx? Ultrasound was done on day 9 of menstrual cycle. I stopped taking birth control 5 months ago. I am currently not taking any medication. Perhaps you have another opinion or have other findings. Thank you. | 2,497 | Hello. I have gone through your brief clinical history and the images you have provided. (attachment removed to protect patient identity). Though I would like you to answer a few more questions so as to provide you better diagnosis and suggest appropriate management. Are your menses regular? Is the flow normal, heavy or low? Do you have children? Normal delivery or cesarean sections? Any abortion, miscarriage or D and C done? Any history of urogenital infection or chronic discharge per vaginum? Now coming onto your query and analysis of the images you have sent. First image shows anterverted uterus with a 3.9 mm calcific focus in endometrial region. This calcification is most likely due to earlier infective or inflammatory pathology. Nothing to worry about. Second image shows minimal amount of clear fluid in the endometrial canal with thin endometrium for 9th day of cycle. Third, Fourth and fifth images show an oblong soft tissue structure adjacent to the left ovary. This could either be part of the bowel or fallopian tube (I can differentiate it on a dynamic scan or an ultrasound video rather than a still image). The left ovary looks normal with few follicles seen within it. No obvious cyst is seen in the image provided. Also, the left tube is not dilated and therefore no hydrosalpinx is seen. The last sixth image shows part of normal bowel loop in the right adnexa. No right ovary or dilated tube is seen in the image provided. I hope this helps. Infective - inflammatory. Hormonal assays serum FSH (follicle stimulating hormone), LH (lutenizing hormone), prolactin and androgen levels. complete blood count, Ruined routine and microscopy. SOS PAP smear Follow up with reports. | Q. USG suggests cyst on ovary or hydrosalpinx. What does it mean? |
Hello doctor, My question is, when can I drink more than two glasses of wine a day or a whole bottle without it hindering the healing process after my dermapen session of micro needling? And also, because I was occasionally drinking a few bottles of beer after I had gotten it done, does that mean my healing time has to be longer than six weeks? By the way, I did my acne scar regions with 2.00 mm needles. | 2,498 | Hi. Alcohol use can diminish wound healing, it increases the blood flow so it can also cause bleeding. Excessive alcohol intake also reduces the immunity of the body which can lead to delayed wound healing. Same principle applied to micro needling. Micro needling is also a small type of injuries created in the facial skin so that the healing process makes a healthy smooth skin and remove the scar. So if you take alcohol during that process alcohol is going to affect that healing process and it can lead to infection. So I advise that you should completely avoid alcohol if possible. A small amount of one glass of beer per day can be taken if you cannot control your urge to take alcohol. I hope this helps. | Q. Will drinking wine cause delay in healing process after microneedling? |
Hello doctor, I had a cough since the start this month, but it was just a dry cough. It has got severe when the quarantine started and I could not schedule anymore consultation. I had taken mucolytic which gave me severe coughing but it released a lot of phlegm yellow or greenish color. I tried calling my friends who are nurses and I got a doctor whom I consulted and gave me prescription of Co-Amoxiclav. I had no fever, chills and night sweats. I have a chest stabbing pain for more than two weeks now. Today, the pain level for me is 5-6 whenever I clear my throat or cough a little. I have taken Co-Amoxiclav 625 mg three times a day for the past one week, but the pain did not go away. But my cough stopped and I had just very few episodes of coughing usually when I wake up. My throat does not hurt or itch anymore but I am more bothered by the chest pain now. The inner pain started before just below my breast on the right, but now it is nearly on the chest itself but still on the right. Please advise. | 2,499 | Hello. The most probable cause for the chest pain, in the setting of the problems described by you, is due to muscle spasm on account of indiscriminate coughing when the infection was present. Now the phlegm is less, signifying decreased infection or healing. What you need are some muscle relaxants and pain killers. Couple this with some balm application locally followed by steam and hot fomentation. Take adequate rest. This shall pass, nothing to worry. If you need any further support or clarifications do not hesitate to contact me. | Q. I get chest stabbing even after my cough subsides. Why? |
