Hi my baby is 18 months old..he was suffering cold and flue 2 weeks ago...so he was under medication on antibiotics and relieved.He was good last week..but from last night he was annoying and runny nose and fever..now he is crying refusing foods...i don't know why again he felt sick.please advice me, thanks | Hi dear,I understand your concerns. It seems she has reinfection, it looks as viral infection, she can refuse from food, because she has sore throat,but can not tell you. I propose you to give her antihistamine-fenistil in dose - amount of drops =weight of baby,eg.7 kg=7 drops 3 times. For fever Calpol can be used. Drop saline solution in his nose.Perform blood and urine tests. Discuss it with your doctor.Recovery soon | |
What causes muscle spasms in the thumb?
can a ganglion cyst ( or other bump sort of thing because I m not sure if its a cyst or something worse) cause uncontrollable muscle twitching it has been on my hand for a long while now, I read somewhere its best not to mess with them and let them heal or dissolve on there own, but I m quite concerned with recent muscle spasm my thumb twitches randomly now and I noticed its almost as it goes with my heart beat, could it be blood passing threw my body and puts pressure on the cyst and makes the muscles react? and is there any way to remove a cyst quite large or small without surgery, I have heard hit it with a book to pop it, but I dont want to pop it incase its filled with a toxic fluid much regard too you please and thank you | HiYou must show to an orthopaedic surgeon.Throbing may be due to vascular swelling or cyst over a blood vessel in vicinity, it should be assessed.if it's simple ganglion excision is best.some doctors prefer to inject hyaluronidase into cyst after aspiration to dissolve, but recurrence is common Let doctor decide after examiningThanks | |

Suggest treatment for fibromyalgia with swollen shin and cracked ankle
I am 56 years old. take meds for fibromyalgia, degenerative disc disease and anxiety. I was driving my car for a few hours. When I stood up, my legs were swollen, shins were hard to the touch and a thin line around my ankles cracked open. I stopped driving for the day and rested. The next day, my neck glands hurt somewhat but not severe, but my tongue turned purple blue with lesions. I drank only water, oatmeal and slept a lot. No fever, but slept. was too tired to drive to the dr. and wasn t sick enough for an ambulance. Also the 2nd night no fever, but felt hot/cold/chills all night.I did have a pain in m lower back, but I contributed it to the degenerative disc disease. I never saw a tongue turn that color. After a week the color became less bright and the lesions left.Still curious. That week I had traveled to NY and was seen by a few physicians including an md. | Hi, In fibromyalgia, by definition, nothing is wrong. And, in this case, something was wrong without an exam, I can only give general information. Sudden swelling in ankles with a component of circulatory problems is generally considered blood clots until it is ruled out because they can go to the lung and cause hypoxia with blueness. I'm sure it's just a coincidence though and other issues like infections, autoimmune diseases, or mild viruses can cause some of the same symptoms. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Regards, Dr. Matt Wachsman, Addiction Medicine Specialist | |

Is there any treatment for chronic renal disease in Ayurveda or homeopathy?
sirI had been operated for renal stones and hydronephrosis in right kidney in 2004 and 2007 and the kidney functioning was only 15% for right one .the creatinine level were normal even before operation.Since then i had been taking reckeweg renal drops R27last week i measured my BP which was 200/150 which is sure due to renal disease i had to go to check up for other tests next week so i wanted to know that what medicines should i take till my tests are over and is there any cure in homeopathy or ayurved for chronic renal disease | Hello Patient,Chronic Renal Disease is not a very easy disease to cure in any system of medicine. It is better to be honest than to give unrealistic expectations.However, what Homeopathy can definitely do is improve renal functioning, and in turn normalize the blood pressure, provided dialysis has not been started yet.Once renal function starts improving, then depending on the rate of improvement, the chances of cure can be gauged. But yes, Homeopathy has seen cases of chronic renal disease being cured.Let me know if you require any other help or medication.All the best! | |

Q. For how long should I take Kalachikai powder to overcome PCOD problem?
Hello doctor,As I have PCOD problem and also cyst, I take tablets for period. My friend suggested Kalachikai powder. I used it for 30 days continuously, but no use. How many days should I take that powder and how to overcome this problem? | Hello. For PCOD (polycystic ovarian disease), powder Kalachikai has a good effect, but the duration of treatment is long (more than three months). For proper evaluation of disease, please go for USG whole abdomen and other investigations. If the size and number of cysts are more, then I suggest consulting a gynecologist as you may require surgery. If the number and size of cysts are less, you may continue treatment along with syrup Evecare 10 ml BD and Kanchnar Guggulu two BD. For more information consult an ayurveda specialist online --> | |

Do you watch porn? Do you have anxiety symptoms like a headache, shakiness of hands, excessive sweating, abdominal discomfort?

Q. Why do periods get delayed after first time sex?
Hi doctor, I had sex for the first time. After that, I did not get my periods yet. I went to a gynecologist. She had taken my blood sample and it was negative. But, still I have not gotten my periods and it has been a week ahead. What could be the reason for my late periods? | Hello. As the serum beta hCG levels are less than 3 mIU/mL, the pregnancy is definitely ruled out. The delay in the menses is mostly due to sex induced stress after the first time when reproductive hormones readjust themselves. The menses can get delayed even up to two weeks, so just wait for another week and they should arrive. If not, then you can safely opt for a progesterone withdrawal to resume menses. For further information consult an obstetrician and gynaecologist online --> | |

Bulky Uterus with large fibroid. Can i be pregnant with this ?
My marraige is arranged and from the past one mointh my periods are irregular and my I used to suffer from stomach pain from many years by taking scanning I came to know that I am having bulky uterus with large fiboid. Therefore I request you to please suggest me whether to go for surgery or else is there any medicine to cure without any surgery and also let me know will there be any problem for getting pregnancy or any infertility problems may arise in future. I have already consulted gynaec and they have given me medicines for three months to compress the fibroid then after they are going to do surgery and remove it. But recently a fibroid was removed from the breast and keloid was formed and I am worried again any such problem may arise. So I request you to please give me a best solution for which I shall be grateful to you. | Hi Deepthi, Welcome to HCM. There is no reliable medical management for surgery. You have not mentioned the size and number of fibroids. If the fibroids are small and of sub-serous type, it should not affect pregnancy, but if they are large and intramural in location then it might interfere with pregnancy. As for keloid formation, there is small chance that it may occur again, but usually it is seen in the chest and adjacent areas. | |
Q. Can Yasmin birth control pill be used as an emergency contraceptive pill?
Hello doctor, My fiancee and I had unprotected sex a few days back, but I did not ejaculate inside her. Just to be on the safer side, we wanted to use the emergency contraceptive pill. But due to some restriction in the country where we live, Plan B or emergency contraceptive pills are not available. I read that Yasmin, which is used as a regular contraceptive pill can be used as an emergency contraceptive pill at a higher dosage. Can Yasmin be used as an emergency contraceptive pill? And at what dosage? | Hi. How are you doing? Yes, as you have heard, Yasmin can be used as an emergency pill. Even if you have not ejaculated into her, she stands a chance of pregnancy if the pre-seminal fluid, the clear fluid that comes out before semen, which is rich in young healthy sperms, comes in contact with her genitals. As soon as possible, earlier the better, I suggest taking four tablets of Yasmin (combination of Ethinyl Estradiol and Drospirenone) at the time, repeat four more tablets after 12 hours. This being a high dose of hormones, it will suddenly increase the inner lining of the uterus. Then as it is a single dose, the inner lining will fall off. This makes it unfavorable for the possible embryo or baby to settle into the uterus. She will get her periods within 7 to 10 days of the last pill. But do not keep repeating this frequently, it can disturb the hormonal balance and can reduce the effectiveness of the pill. Consult your specialist doctor, discuss with him or her and start taking the medicines after their consent. This is an old method, but it is an effective emergency method. Just do not delay the pills. As time passes by, the effectiveness reduces. Hope I have clarified your query, do write back. All the best. For further queries consult an obstetrician and gynaecologist online --> | |

What is the treatment for psoriasis on scalp?
I have psoriasis in my scalp, but my religion requires I always have a head covering. The odor is unbearable, my children who are close all the time always make a gagging reaction, it smells like a decaying body. I tend to pick at the scales, and it's sticky, causing the odor. | Hello and welcome to healthcaremagicScalp Psoriasis presents as well defined, thick scaly plaques. There can be secondary bacteria infection of the plaques, thus giving rise to oozing and crusting and foul smell.If I was the treating doctor I would suggest you to wash your scalp at least thrice weekly with coal tar+salicylic acid based shampoo(Ionax-T shampoo).A course of an oral antibacterial e.g Cephalexin Or Cefadroxil would dry up secondary bacterial infection and oozing/crusting, that might have been causing foul smell.Psoriasis is a steroid responsive dermatosis and therefore a topical steroid + salicylic acid based lotion, twice daily would help in loosening up the scales as well as resolve psoriatic lesions.Hope this helpsRegards | |

What is the prognosis for final stage of liver cirrhosis?
my grand father is a non alcoholic and is at the final stage of liver cirrhosis. Now his bilirubin level is 7 and he is most of the time unconscious. We are all informed about his disease and prepared for his death. but i wud like to know that if he will get a painless and noble death without blood coming out and intense pain NB: He has no portal hypertension instead his hepatic veins are under thrombosis | Hi,Thanks for writing in.Sorry to hear about your grand father who is in end stage cirrhosis. We cannot predict the method of death in any person having chronic condition like cirrhosis. If he is unconscious most of the time then it might suggest hepatic encephalopathy.This is a condition when the toxic metabolites are not getting cleared by liver and are accumulating in the brain. This gives rise to occasions when he might have altered consciousness. It is difficult to know his pain and his doctor might put him in pain relief if required. Please do not worry. | |

I am really freaked out. his mom died at 52 with bone cancer. | Hello,It would be good if you do a MRI to rule out cancer as he has a genetic history.Bone shrinkage is termed as osteopenia I.e loss of bone that occurs due to low calcium in body(calcium is required for bone formation) but this is not limited to one joint or bone and is generalized in the body which is not in your caseThe black spots in the shoulder X-ray suggest bone lossthat points more toward a tumor.Hope this helps you and your husband recovers soonthank you | |

What causes fullness and pain in lower abdomen with no appetite?
For the past 3 days I have had a fullness and pain in my lower abdomen. I have no appetite before mid-afternoon. Simply seem to disappear by 7-8PM. My guess was a bladder infection, but no pain with urination. I am a 34 year old female and am positive I am not pregnant. | HI.The causes of Fullness and Pain in Lower Abdomen with loss of appetite can be due to Enteritis , Typhoid, and such problems of the intestine. This is a natural process when there is intestinal infection or affection of whatever reason , the first thing the body responds by loss of appetite , This is a natural protective mechanism. I would advise the blood tests _ CBC , widal for typhod , culture and sensitivity of the blood for typhoid, liver functions as hepatitis is one of the the important reasons for loss of appetite.

My daughter is having difficulty in passing stool and what is the solution for this?
Hi I have 1.5 year old daughter.From past 1 month she is finding difficult in passing stool... there seems to be some sort of infection for which doctor has provided the ointment but it reoccurrs again ana again.. also she finds very hard to pass stool.. Kindly advise | HelloThe best way to soften the consistency of a child's stools is through his/her diet, by getting her to eat more fiber and by monitoring her intake of dairy products. To calculate the amount of dietary fiber your child is getting there is a good rule of thumb: Children should eat enough grams of fiber to equal their age plus five. (For example, a 2-year-old needs 7 grams of fiber each day.) It's also best if the fiber is distributed equally among your child's three meals, rather than eaten all at once.you can also use soy milk instead of regular milk to soften the stool.Hope this answer helps.RegardsDr. Shesh | |

Q. I am almost three months late for my period and weight reduction did not help. Why?
Hello doctor, I am 19 years old. I am almost three months late for my period and do not know what to do. I read some articles and found out that weight loss triggers periods and I have lost around 50 pounds in the last year, bringing my weight down to 122 pounds. I am super scared about my periods. Also, this morning I had white discharge, can that be a sign of my period may be coming? | Hello. Yes, excess weight does cause a hormonal disturbance that can lead to delayed periods. But there can be other hormonal changes like thyroid and prolactin that need to be evaluated to look for the cause of the delayed periods. Sometimes stress also can cause a delay. And yes, the consistency of the discharge can be a little thicker during the premenstrual phase if ovulation happens, but we cannot predict just based on that if you would be getting your periods or not. If already three months have lapsed, and if there is no chance for a pregnancy, then it would be advisable to take medication for withdrawal and get yourself evaluated for the irregular menstrual cycle issues. I hope this helps. | |

Before one month, I recognized some irregularity in his walking and went for an X-ray and blood test by the recommendation of a doctor. And diagnosed that his vitamin D and calcium values are very low (vitamin D 19.9 and calcium 6.8) and also he is affected with a mild form of rickets. On the same day, started the medicine as one injection in two legs and vitamin D and calcium supplements are continuing. I was affected with chicken pox before 15 days of my delivery. Are these are connected? Anything to worry? Is it reversible? Also, I have one more doubt to ask you. My baby is not taking any food. By grating, I am giving everything as a semi-solid form by using spoon type feeding bottle. Is anything to worry regarding this? Is semisolid food is alright for him? He is not interested in any food including chocolates. Please give me the proper solution. | Hello. Firstly, rickets is completely reversible and nothing permanent. Your babies values are very mildly affected. So, by the course you are giving him it will be cured completely. Your pregnancy chicken pox has nothing to do with his condition presently. So do not feel guilty in any way. Coming to food issue, it is perfectly alright for your child to eat semi-solid food. Do not worry about that. Some children like the texture of the food being semisolid. Please encourage him to drink more milk and eat a lot of curd. Please do not force the kid as it can lead to repulsion. The child’s calories intake should be approximately 1000 kcal. Increase the intake slowly over a period of one month. Do not force feed. Plan the meals accordingly. Please feel free to contact me anytime. For more information consult a paediatrician online --> | |
What causes severe lower abdominal pain?
The other day I experienced severe lower abdominal pain after using the restroom it started immediately and it was very crippling I even fainted once . The pain was sharp but lasted as long as an aching pain . While sharp shooting pains went to my anus and vagina . This has happened before and after the first time I didn't get my period for 3 to 4 months after . And sometimes it hurts to pee on a normal basis as as well as the sharp shooting pains to my bum . What is this ? | Hi,Welcome to HealthcareMagic.I have read your query and understand your concern.You seem to be having urinary tract infection and stone.

Suggest medication for breathlessness and cough while having asthma
I suffer with asthma but it s usually fine and I virtually never use my pump but with the winter months olive had to use it a lot. I used to smoke but have quite for sometime now. I have woken from my sleep a few times now with an incredible shortness of breathe and coughing. I feel like there is stuff stuck in my lungs and usually once I ve had my preventer inhaler I am able to clear a small amount. It feels like my lungs have filled up with something and I m really concerned as I ve been a heavy smoker and I work around some materials hazardous to lungs. (Types of dust, asbestos etc) | Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic. I can understand your concern. In my opinion, you should take preventer inhaler regularly. What you are facing right now is acute exacerbation of asthma. If you use preventer drugs regularly, acute attacks can be stopped. So better to consult pulmonologist and get done PFT(Pulmonary Function Test). PFT will tell you how severe is your asthma. Based on severity, you will need inhaled bronchodilators (formoterol or salmeterol) and inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) (budesonide or fluticasone). Oral mucolytic and expectorant, N acetyl cystine (NAC) is also recommended in your case. So consult pulmonologist and take your preventer inhaler regularly. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks. | |

Q. I have pain in my abdomen and a bloated feeling. What do I do?
Hello doctor, I have a light pain in my upper abdomen with a bloated feeling after eating, and occasional pain in my gut. I did experience some violent pain about a year back, while I was training with an exercise program to strengthen my abs. It felt like a tear in my gut while training. I do not know if this has something to do with what I am experiencing now. I also train with heavy weights. Can you please give me an idea as to what is going on, and what I should do about this situation? | Hello. If you can answer following questions, then it will help to reach a definitive diagnosis: In the meantime, I would suggest you try the following things for improvement: It would be advisable to have a proper examination by your family doctor, to determine whether or not this is a gastrointestinal problem related to digestion, or possibly a hernia from overexertion while exercising. A hernia occurs when the intestine protrudes or bulges out from the abdominal wall, which can cause abdominal pain. | |
What are the good medicine alternates for ovacet, myoinositol, L-methyl folate?
Dear Doctor,I am from Rbvbjdnr , West Bengal , Dist - Bunvkdfn. My wife Suffering from PCOD. Doctor prescribed (Ovacet) , (Myoinositol, L-methyl Folate, Calcium and Vitamin D3 ) which is not available here . Pls tell me alternative brand of same composition.Thanking You fhkfj | Hello and welcome to the forum,I am Dr Nilajkumar a consultant gynecologist and I will be helping you in your queries. Ovacet contains a vitamin inositol along with another vitamin folate, vitamin d and calcium. If the composition is not available at your store, try buying only plain inositol tablets. Folic acid and calcium with vitamin D3 tablets are easily available every where. Unfortunately no other brand that I could find contains the same composition as ovacet. Also these are simple vitamins and calcium and are not aimed primarily to restore the hormonal imbalance in PCOD. If you have not got a PCOD profile testing done, get it tested on day 1 on menses. If there are hormonal imbalance treatment needs to be targeted against them for best results. Also treatment in PCOD depends upon if the female desires pregnancy or just regular periods. Treatment is different for both. Other drugs used are metformin, cyproterone and clomiphene depending upon what the patient wants [ pregnancy or periods]. So please discuss these with your doctor if you have not already done it. Hope this helped.Thanks for using HCM.Have a good day.Dr Nilajkumar Bagde Consultant Obstetrics and Gynecology | |
Q. Why does bruise reappears after stopping the vitamin supplements?
Hello doctor,I get bruising easily. My blood reports are fine, and the bruise gets clear with vitamin C and K tablets but occurs again when I stop the medicine. Why? | Hello. Kindly mention since how long you have such problem? And mention the duration of the treatment. In such easy bruising case, the causes like liver disease, low platelet count, and coagulation abnormality have to be ruled out. You have investigated for that, and all the parameters are within the range. So if your problem is since a few days, then you can continue oral vitamin C that is Limcee and topical vitamin K. If the problem continues, then consult nearby hematologist for detailed evaluation. Hematologist might evaluate further in the form of fibrinogen estimation and full coagulation profile testing. I hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further. | |

What causes feeling of water passing through head?

I ve had it happen several times, sometimes also when I turn my head too quickly. I never thought anything really of it because it first started 5 years ago, and not it seems to happen less frequently, if not rarely.

What causes pain and numbness in legs along with lupus pain?
Hi Dr, Hope all is well. I have recently been diagnosed with Factor V for blood clots (Thrombosis) My GP advised me not to go onto the birth control pill. As i am getting married soon i went to n Gyne (New Dr) and he said no its fine i can go onto Yasmin as i have used it before as a teenager and nothing happened he insisted that the Factor V test was unnecessary and claimed that 9 out of 10 people have it.... I have been taking the pill for a week now but have been experiencing numbness and pain in my legs. I also have Lupus so pain is not something new to me. This feels different tho, legs feel stiff, weak and uncomfortable. Please can you advise Best Regards Monique | Hello,I have studied your case and I think that there can be many reasons of such pain. Like lack of vitamins, fatigue but i do not think it is related to factor V. So I would suggest you to visit a orthopaedic surgeon and get your vitamin B 12 and vitamin D examination. If there is lack of these vitamin it can cause such symptoms. Also some time there can be lack of carnation in muscles. So for that you need to take Acyl carnation. Factor V deficiency make you susceptible to clots. Avoid OCP as they can also promote clots. | |
Q. Can high level of anxiety and depression result in frequent awakening?
Hello doctor, A little over two years ago, I experienced some stress in my life that resulted in a high level of anxiety and depression. I was prescribed Paxil and took it for one year. At the time, I was also taking Diovan and Atenolol for hypertension, Pantoprazole for reflux, and Simvastatin for high cholesterol. One positive side effect of the stress was that I lost 25 lbs and went from 195 lbs to 170 lbs. I also started to eat more healthy foods and started to exercise regularly. One effect of my anxiety and depression is that I would awaken frequently during the night and morning between 3 AM and 5 AM and feel very agitated and get panic with upsetting thoughts. Over the past year or so, I have managed to improve my condition with counseling, meditation, etc. I am also no longer taking any medicine since my health dramatically improved. I am at the point where I am doing well, but still awaken very early about 4 or 5 AM, no matter when I go to bed I feel very anxious and my heart starts to pound. I used to have bad thoughts, but I have managed those and now just feel the physical feelings. The thoughts diminish gradually throughout the day and seem to end at about 5 PM. I am wondering whether I have a cortisol or adrenaline problem. What are your thoughts regarding the same? Please guide. | Hi. 1. Have a thyroid function test done first for given weight loss and heart pounding. 2. You should also consider seeing a primary care physician PCP and have an electrocardiogram EKG done. Revert back with the details asked and to an endocrinologist online.---> | |
Should I be worried about chest pain and shoulder discomfort?

I forgot to take my medicine last night and i started to have some odd chest discomfort and i took my morning medicine i feel ok. i am starting to have shoulder to shoulder discomfort and chest pain. with back and arm discomfort. i am not due to take another medicine until tonight at 10. | Hi,Most probably it is not related to heart. But if your doctor suspected that you have heart blockages, it will be better to have an ECG, just to be in the safe side.Take care | |
Q. Why do periods get delayed after first time sex?
Hi doctor, I had sex for the first time. After that, I did not get my periods yet. I went to a gynecologist. She had taken my blood sample and it was negative. But, still I have not gotten my periods and it has been a week ahead. What could be the reason for my late periods? | Hello. As the serum beta hCG levels are less than 3 mIU/mL, the pregnancy is definitely ruled out. The delay in the menses is mostly due to sex induced stress after the first time when reproductive hormones readjust themselves. The menses can get delayed even up to two weeks, so just wait for another week and they should arrive. If not, then you can safely opt for a progesterone withdrawal to resume menses. For further information consult an obstetrician and gynaecologist online --> | |
Underwent lumpectomy. Prescribed Tamoxifen for life. Lifelong medication necessary?
I had a lumpectomy and axilliary clearance 11-3/4 years ago for Grade 1 Invasing Duct Carcinoma with the lump being described as moderately differentiated infiltrating duct carcinoma (NOS) Grade 1. It was both estrogen and progesterone posive. I underwent radiation treatment then commenced Tamoxifen 20mg. I was on the 20mg for 10 years, and my surgeon (who I see every 12 months) advised that he would drop me back to a 'maintenance' dose of 10 mg, and wants me to stay on it for life. Most people I know are only on 20mg for 5 years then stop taking Tamoxifen. What are your thoughts? | HelloThanks for your query.The subject you have raised is one that is under intense research and debate.As a standard of practice, Tamoxifen is definitely continued at the very least for 5 years.Newer consensus is emerging that continuing it for longer periods than even 5 years is now recommended and beneficial.There is no scientific recommendation for taking it life long at least.Since you have taken it already for 10 years, I dont see any need for taking it any longer.wish you all the best. | |

Stomach pain radiating to the back, episodes of diarrhoea, fever, weight loss, skin dehydrated. Suggestions?
Hi, I have intermitent stomach pain on my left lower side the pain is not unbearable but more annoying it starts down low and then generates around the side and into my back in the area near my hip. Alot of the time when I eat I get diahorreha but not all the time it comes and goes. I have had these symptoms on and off for the last month with two bouts of fever the latest been last night. I am not sure if the fever is related as I don t have stomach pain when I am getting the fevers. I have lost about 10 kgs in the past month and notice that my skin on my hands stays up when I lift it, suggesting dehydration but I don t feel dehydrated and I drink alot of water. | Hello, jackie.jacks, Your symptoms warrant more studies. Left sided lower abdominal pain, fever, and diarrhea is suggestive of inflammation in the colon. Most likely a case of "Diverticulitis". If you have pockets involving the colon especially the left side of the colon, you can develop infection in one or more of those pockets. This is more common after the age of 40-50, although it can happen in younger individuals. You need to see your doctor or go to the nearest medical facility where they can perform blood tests, check the stool for hidden blood, and also do a CT-Scan of the abdomen and pelvis to make sure that you don't have any complications from diverticulitis such as abscess or rupture (Perforation) which is serious and requires hospitalization, surgical consultation, intravenous fluids, antibiotics etc. It appears you are dehydrated and your weight loss is of concern as well. Please seek medical attention as soon as possible. I wish you well. | |

Can pins and needle in arm cause difficulty in movement of hands?
Hi My daughter (1 year 5 months) just woke up in a state, she was crying, was half in a trance like state (eyes open but not seeming to properly register / disengage sleep) and she was battling to move / control her arms to take her bottle and guide it to her mouth. She was also pulling her head back slightly awkardly (I think to try and pull her arms up properly). She is very overtired (went 8 hours between sleeps this afternoon) and I think she may have been sleeping on her stomach (she tends to do this with her arms half tucked under her) which could have given her pins and needles / dead arms. It took about 10 minutes to calm her down, arm function was 90% and we have put her back to bed where she has fallen asleep. Is my diagnosis right or what do you suggest? | hi, welcome to this forum. This could be due to muscular spasm due to sleeping over hand. It usually get relieved on its own in 2 to 3 hours. If the pain is persisting then pain reliever spray should be used. Take care. | |
What are the apt diet for an ovarian cancer patient?
my sister has ovarian cancer which has spread to her liver. She is in the care of a nursing home. what do you suggest to recommend to her dietian for foods to eat. I have read that sugar is the main fuel source for cancer. she is a fan of spaghetti, pancakes, etc... | Hello and thank you for submitting your question.I am sorry to hear about the health of your sister. It is true that sugar/glucose is the main source of fuel for cells, malignant or benign. Unfortunately, in the case of malignancies, the cells' growth is more influenced by other factors (mutations in growth genes, response to chemical signals). In your sister's case, she would very likely benefit the most from a consultation with a medical professional (nutritionist or physician) who can assess & balance her needs for carbohydrates for normal physiologic functioning. | |

Suggest remedy for anorectal fistula above rectum
My grandson was born 3 days ago and was diagnosed with hypospadias. His pediatrician is making him an appointment with a pediatric urologist. They just got home from the hospital today and I saw a anorectal fistula with a small amount of meconium coming out if it. It is about 1 inch above his rectum. Apparently nobody in the hospital noticed this. Should we call the pediatrician immediately or wait for his appt. Tuesday? | It is not uncommon for a child with some congenital anomaly to have some other congenital anomaly as well. Even if the newborn has anorectal fistula, no immediate intervention or surgery is advisable and so I think that you can wait for your appointment on Tuesday.The ultimate remedy the conditions will be surgery, or may be a series of surgeries. | |
Suggest treatment for the allergy caused by latex
I have a very severe allergy to latex. Today I ate guacamole for the first time and quickly developed a terrible stomachache. When I googled it I realized avacados are related to the latex plant. I took an alavert but the pain hasn't let up for 15 minutes. What should I do? | Hello,Thank you for asking at HCM.I went through your history and would like to make suggestions for you as follows:1. I would agree that latex proteins and avocado proteins share some common antigens. So they can "cross-react" with each other.2. Were I treating you, I would suggest you to take an antacid like ranitidine in addition to alavert.Hope above suggestions will be helpful to you.Wish you the best of the health ahead.Thank you & Regards. | |
Does Bells Palsy affect the ears?
My husband came down with Bells Palsy last Sunday morning. He is taking the prednisone prescription and using eye lubricants and doing facial exercises. We have followup with PT and the Internal Medicine Doctor. The doctor stresses the importance of eye lubrication, but did not put much emphasis on the ear, which we are wondering about. Is there possibility of underlying tumor which may have caused this and how would we discount that possibility? | Hello!I read your question and understand your concern.Ears are not affected by Bells palsy. Rarely hyperacusia may be caused by Bells palsy but it gets better with time, when the nerve regenerates. The abrupt onset is typical for afrigora palsy or idiopathic. It may be viral or just an irritation of the nerve by physical factors. Tumors cause gradual palsy. So I would say that this would be very exceptional in this case. If other symptoms like numbness or gait problems develop I would recommend a brain MRI to rule out any other cerebral lesions.Hope to have been helpful!Best wishes Dr. Abaz | |

See your doctor if not relieved. | |

We are loosing out of traditional medicine
Hi Dear all >> We r loosing out of these branch of medicine.. can u tell the reasons ? | 1. Potential of traditional medicine (TM) is not realized in the society, because although there is a sense of 'belief' BUT no sense of 'relief'. 2. TM is disappearing/loosing due to cultural changes and declining access. 3. Importantly making of medicine through TM way requires long distance travel which require transport and operational cost and finances resulting in replacement of them by different concotions,tinctures and powdered form. 4. destruction of forests where native people have lived for years and gained knowledge about various plants and species has resulted in disappearance of information. 5. greater demand and increased human population has lead to increased and unsustainable rate 6.when the students of today without any background and with most of them taking up the course without any other choice, approach this science, they experience difficulties in understanding and believing it.Today teachers are always important for internal assessment or viva. | |

Q. Can Yasmin birth control pill be used as an emergency contraceptive pill?
Hello doctor, My fiancee and I had unprotected sex a few days back, but I did not ejaculate inside her. Just to be on the safer side, we wanted to use the emergency contraceptive pill. But due to some restriction in the country where we live, Plan B or emergency contraceptive pills are not available. I read that Yasmin, which is used as a regular contraceptive pill can be used as an emergency contraceptive pill at a higher dosage. Can Yasmin be used as an emergency contraceptive pill? And at what dosage? | Hi. How are you doing? Yes, as you have heard, Yasmin can be used as an emergency pill. Even if you have not ejaculated into her, she stands a chance of pregnancy if the pre-seminal fluid, the clear fluid that comes out before semen, which is rich in young healthy sperms, comes in contact with her genitals. As soon as possible, earlier the better, I suggest taking four tablets of Yasmin (combination of Ethinyl Estradiol and Drospirenone) at the time, repeat four more tablets after 12 hours. This being a high dose of hormones, it will suddenly increase the inner lining of the uterus. Then as it is a single dose, the inner lining will fall off. This makes it unfavorable for the possible embryo or baby to settle into the uterus. She will get her periods within 7 to 10 days of the last pill. But do not keep repeating this frequently, it can disturb the hormonal balance and can reduce the effectiveness of the pill. Consult your specialist doctor, discuss with him or her and start taking the medicines after their consent. This is an old method, but it is an effective emergency method. Just do not delay the pills. As time passes by, the effectiveness reduces. Hope I have clarified your query, do write back. All the best. For further queries consult an obstetrician and gynaecologist online --> | |

How to cure rashes on torso?
Hi, My 3-yr old son had a fever of 103 three days ago and has since developed a rash on his torso, starting on his genitals and spreading up the front of his torso. The rash consists of flat pink spots which don t seem to be itchy or sore. He says he feels ok, although his appetite was poor when he had the fever a few days ago. Is this rash likely to be a heat rash as it has been in the 90s here the last few days (but we do have a/c) or could it be connected to the fever. Thanks! | Hi...I feel by what you quote he should be having a - Hand Foot Mouth disease. This is one viral illness among all other exanthemas which can cause fever followed by rash over palms and soles. It is a self-limiting disorder and itching can be really worrisome. I suggest you use any over the counter antihistamine if you have one with you now. You can use Hydroxyzine at 1-2mg/kg/dose (Maximum 10mg) every 6th to 8th hourly for 7 days. This can even cause some peeling of skin in the next 4-6 weeks and do not worry about it.Regards - Dr. Sumanth | |
Can masturbation and exercise cause inguinal hernia after laparoscopic appendix removal?
I had a laparoscopic appendix removal 12 days ago, and i masturbated 3 times in the past 3 days. My surgeon told me 6 days after the operation that it was okay to do anything. I exercised a little bit yesterday and today, mostly cardio yesterday. Is it possible that these factors can cause an inguinial hernia? | Hi, The masturbation usually doesn't lead hernia.

Q. I had a blister after five months of a massage session. What is it?
Hi doctor, I had a blister forming five months later after a massage. No blowjob was involved but it ended with a handjob. Had a full STD done. The result came back with herpes 1 diagnosis with a 1.1 result (the test was done 21 days after the massage). Test result 21 days after massage: HSV type 1 IgG AB 1.1. | Hello. It appears to be herpes only (attachment removed to protect patient identity). It is not clear on the image, but it appears to be a fluid-filled vesicle, so suggest a strong possibility of herpes only. Another factor which would favor herpes is the presence of pain. Was there any pain in those vesicles, if yes, then it further makes herpes a strong possibility. Next thing, history of hand job further add to the possibility. If you get lesion anytime, please get a swab and PCR (polymerized chain reaction) done. Also, get HSV 1 and 2 antibodies level done now. | |

I am 22/f i had a orthodontic treatment at pondicheery. i removed the braces half way.the upper part is aligned.but will it be back to old shape? | Hi Sukhneer, Braces if not worn for the complete duration of treatment suggest that your correction of teeth placement is not complete. The treatment needs to be completed, so that the teeth are in their physiological place and chances of relapse reduces ie: teeth reverting to their original positions. You need to restart the treatment and once it gets completed a retainer is to be worn for a couple of months to stabilize teeth in their new positions. If due to some reason you do not complete the treatment then chances of relapse are very high. i would strongly recommend you to visit an orthodontist and finish your treatment. Regards | |

Suggest treatment after being scratched by a cat
Hi, I received a rabies vaccination 48 hours after being scratched by a stray cat in Romania. The doctors also gave me a tetanus shot and said that there was a minimal chance of exposure. They said, however, that if I was worried enough to get the first injection of Verorab for rabies, that I needed to follow through two more times,at 7 days, and then on the 21st day. The U.S. medical sites however recommend a series of five injections, although the instructions on the verorab document itself recommend three. What is the best course? The cat seemed perfectly healthy. I simply wish to be on the safe side. | Hi, Thanks for being with Health care magic. I understand your concern. - As per the information given.. the cat has scratched you.. there is no mention of licking the scratched area. The rabies infection is transffered by direct contact of the affected animal's saliva in an open skin. If you are sure that there was no touch of the cat's tongue to the wound.. there is no need of anti rabies vaccination. - But if you are not sure/ are afraid to contact rabies.. it's better to take a full vaccination regime ( 0,3,7,14 & 30th day ) Thanks. | |
