How can itchy bumps on the hands and arms be treated?
Hi. About 2 weeks ago, I started to itch along my arms and hands. I noticed about two bumps on my hand and several on my arms. I thought they were mosquito bites. They were very itchy and hurt just a little but went away after a couple of days. They left dark spots however, which I thought a bit odd, as a mosquito bite usually would not leave such dark marks on me. Then about last Thursday, I started to itch under my chin. A swelling that made me look like I had a double chin developed but by Monday, it had gone down and has left a dark mark. Last night, my two upper arms started to itch and I have two large swellings on each arm now! What could this be? Can someone help please. | HIThank choosing HCMI would be happy to answer your query, from the history given here I could say that this is the allergic condition and it can be due to many things among that the first could be auto-immune response, second environmental, food allergy, medicine allergy, psychological, and others, in rare case it could be due to systemic disease and all of these condition anti-histamine and steroid can be tried like Tab Levocetirizine 10 mg three times in day, Tab Dexamethasone 10 mg three times in day for 5 days, hope this helps you. | |

How long a person with TBI can survive without bolus feed?
I have a cousin in hospice and hes a tbi patient who has a trach and has a lot of mucus and we r having to stop is bolus feeds im just wondering how long he can survive without them | Hello, I am sorry to hear what you and your family are going through. It must be very tough. The duration of survival without feeding depends on the underlying person. If he has a lot of nutrient stores, then he could theoretically survive for several weeks. Malnourished people on the hand may not survive as long without feeding. Hospice care focuses on the patient's comfort, and it is important to realize that feeding him may not necessarily add to his comfort level and would in fact prolong his suffering. | |

Q. I am perimenopausal and I have not got my periods. Am I pregnant?
Hello doctor, I am a 46-year-old female and my periods have become increasingly irregular. They used to be around 24 days in length and my current cycle is now 36 days. My basal body temperature indicated that I may have ovulated on day 10. But I have not menstruated at all this cycle - not even spotting. Late last week, I had slight cramps and pains in the regions near my ovaries, which made me think that perhaps my body was trying to ovulate again. I have taken a pregnancy test, which was negative. I do not believe I am pregnant; rather, I think I may be entering into perimenopause. I have been trained for a marathon last year and during training, I ran up to 50 km or more per week. I had a cycle of 36 days. However, since that time, my cycles have been as short as 14 days but no longer than 31 days. My partner and I use condoms and I track my cycle so that we do not need to use these on infertile days. However, given the length of this cycle, I am unsure whether condoms are necessary until after I have menstruated next. My question relates to fertility in this perimenopausal stage. As I believe I ovulated on day 10, does this mean I remain infertile until I get my next period? Or is my body going to ovulate again, meaning that I will again be fertile? | Hello. No, you have not ovulated on day 10 because if it would have been so you would have had your period by now. Menstruation usually occurs 14 days after ovulation and the duration between ovulation and menstruation is always fixed. Ovulation occurs only once in one cycle. I suggest you repeat the pregnancy test after one week. Since your cycles are irregular now, you cannot rely on fertile period method. Take proper contraception during an entire cycle. If you do not get your period even after a week and pregnancy test comes out to be negative again then you should undergo some investigations to find out the cause. I suggest you get a thyroid profile, prolactin levels, serum LH (luteinizing hormone) and serum FSH (follicle-stimulating hormone) checked. For more information consult an obstetrician and gynaecologist online --> | |
What causes stomach ache and nose bleeding?
My 7 year old son was complaining about a stomach ache and then while watching tv his nose started bleeding. He said he doesn t feel good but he isn t running fever. The nose bleed came out of the blue and was hard to stop. Is there any connection between the two and should I be concerned? | Your child could have developed a bleeding diathesis which happens when there is problem in clotting of the blood. This could have led to aggravation and possibly bleeding of a gastric ulcer as well as bleeding from the nose. So, these could be related. Rather than trying to find the cause and correlation, just rush the child to emergency and get the situation managed. | |

Suggest treatment for chronic pain in biceps and chest
I have had pain in the clavical , chest, and very painful biceps that will NOT go away. A shoulder X-Ray was normal no further action - so was told I had Frozen shoulder - end of story - take pain killers- could last 3 years. I am in agony morning noon and night and can t sleep. I am a musician - unable to play piano or other instruements-- more than anything I conduct mass choir (300 in number and need both arms) . My life seems to have come to an end. I am 74 - and lead a very active life. | Hi, The location and movement of a pain gives clues as to what is going on. Frozen shoulder is a pretty simple straightforward condition: the area gets scarred if there is inflammation and lack of moving it. Mild cases are FIXED by physical therapy and maybe some aspirin like drugs. More serious cases need surgery first. This is going to be limited by pain. Steroid injection can fix it enough to start the physical therapy. It's a bit of a balance between moving the shoulder enough to free it and moving it so much as to injure it BUT, it takes a LOT to injure it. Piano, pretty okay, Trombone or cello, not so good. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further. Regards, Dr. Matt Wachsman, Addiction Medicine Specialist | |

Operated for buccal mucosa. Started pain and operated again. Painful lump appeared on upper lips. What to do?
hi, last year my husband detected cancer in ihe right buccol mucosa(spelling may be in correct), got operated and undergone through chemo and radiation which ended in December2011. But suddenly in the month of april of2012 there was a pain and after all the tests doctors confirmed that it came back, on 21.5.2012 another operation was done,now for the last five days we are noticing another lump on his upper lip and it is painful.We are worried, pls answer | Hi,A recurring cancer buccal mucosa post CTRT carries a post prognosis and salvage surgery as done in your case carry a poorer outcome. Disease coming back so soon after the previous surgery carries even poorer prognosis. Now the lump you are observing needs to be biopsied and if that confirms your fear, the prognosis is even poorer. Please go to your doctor and he may take biopsy from the lesion. Regards | |
What can cause night sweats and back pain in babies?
Hi, I have a 3 year old daughter, she has been suffering with night sweats and complaining of back pain and now has grey coloured stools, she is being treated for a water infections at the moment, she also has no apetite and this morning started to vomit? any ideas or suggestions please? | Hi,The vomiting and loss of appetite (I guess it started along with the said infection only) may be a part of food poisoning/water infection you mentioned. But whenever a child is having excessive night sweats and back pain of more than few days duration, I used to get a complete blood count with ESR and a peripheral smear. This is to rule out important conditions associated with high blood counts. This is especially important if the loss of appetite was there for long, even before the food poisoning and if he had significant weight loss. Kindly discuss with you doctor.Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further. Regards, Dr. Muhammed Aslam TK, Pediatrician | |

Please type your query here...my 5yr old daughter is having bleeding stool.sometimes it takes 2 days before she discharges.lab results are pus cells 20-25,and ameoba cysts..is it what you call liver abcess? | Hi, welcome to HCM. Your child has bleeding in stools and lab report suggests 20 to 25 pus cells and amoeba cysts, this signifies that your child has probably got amoebic dysentery.

What is a grade 3AA tumor prognosis?
MY HUSBAND HAD A CT SCANNER ONE YEAR AGO AND EVERYTHING WAS NORMAL, AFTER ONE YAER HE HAD A SEISURE AND AFTER ONE WEEK A SURGERY . BIOPSY RATED AS GRADE 3 AA. THE LESION HAS TWO COMPONENTS AND THE BIGGEST ONE 2.6 CM LOOKS LIKE LOW GRADE AND THE SMALL PART 9 MM IS GRADE 3. IS ANY WAY THAT WE CAN FIGURE OUT THE PROGNOSIS ? IF TUMOR IS AGRESSIVE ? | Hi,Thanks for writing in.Anaplastic astrocytomas (WHO grade III) constitute about 10% of all gliomas. Definitive data on predictive and prognostic factors are lacking for these neoplasms that are considered the most enigmatic entity among the whole spectrum of astrocytic tumors because of their unclear biologic behavior and variable clinical outcome.Cancer is a difficult condition to treat and the progress of disease can be predicted only after initiation of treatment and response. Anaplastic astrocytoma is more on the aggressive side and shows behavior that requires a close watch. As there is only a small part showing anaplastic features, the cancer can still be controlled and aggressive treatment must be given in the beginning.In a cancer lesion having both aggressive and low grade areas, the tumor must be treated as an aggressive one and measures should be put in place to control tumor growth and control cellular proliferation. The age-standardized 5-year relative survival rate is 23.6%. | |

Those are the only changes I know of. | Hi,It seems that you may be having chronic idiopathic urticaria. You consult dermatologist to have investigations to rule out any precipitating cause. If no cause is found, then it may be labled as chronic idiopathic urticaria. Fexofenadine 180 mg daily or desloratadine 5 mg daily may be taken for long time. Hydroxyzine HCL 25 mg may be taken at night. After long term treatment , you might be alright. I hope you got my answer.Thanks.Dr.Ilyas Patel MD | |

Claimed herself on her income tax and only cares on what people do for her and hates my sister. afraid for my sister as she has mental problems already and in the 90 s attempted suicide. I live up north and she is in Florida. Hard to not worry. Hard to let go. | Hello and thanks for writing in.I understand your concern for your sister. From your description of her current situation, it appears that her depression is mainly due to her family problems and other personal stressors. Stress is well known to cause or worsen depression. Her situation is concerning because you have mentioned that she has already gone through a severe depressive phase and even attempted suicide before.So, it is very important that she gets appropriate and prompt help for her depression.

Antidepressants may also be necessary if the depression is severe. So, I would advise you to please take her to a psychiatrist for further help and treatment.Regards,Dr. Jonas SundarakumarConsultant Psychiatrist | |

Diagnosed with odontogenic keratocyst. Any treatment without removing the teeth?
I have just been diagnosed with odontogenic keratocyst after a byopsy, however, for the byopsy they removed my wisdom tooth to be able to take sample for the byopsy which really upset me and up to now am still in pain more than 4 weeks after the extraction, now with the diagnosis, i have been told they might have to remove 2 of my tooth to be able to remove the cyst even though the cyst has not affected my tooth. i was wondering if there isnt another way of treating it without removing my tooth. Thanks | Hi!welcome to HCM! odontogenic keratocyst is benign but locally aggressive developmental cystic neoplasm. It most often affects the posterior mandible.Although odontogenic keratocysts (OKCs) are benign, they are often locally destructive and tend to recur after conservative surgical treatment.it is very essential to completely remove the cyst hence they might have to remove your tooth to approach and completely remove the cyst.hope this will help you!take care! | |

Trying to conceive. Have PCOS. Taking medication, no improvement. How to overcome this problem?
iam suffering from pcod from past 3 years.i used several tablets for that but no use.i was married in dec 22 2012 and iam trying to conceive but no use.i used ovistore tablets for 4 months and now my dr prescribed me a apcod sachets and ovaashield tabs,folvite tabs.am i able to get pregnant or not plz give me a solution to my problem | Hi,Thanks for the query. Poly cystic ovary disease is becoming a common problem nowadays. It occurs due to hormonal imbalance. Usually insulin sensitizers are hormonal pills are used to treat the problem. But combined hormonal pills usually prevent the pregnancy. And also PCOD can recur. So lifestyle modifications, maintaining ideal body weight etc are important in treating PCOD. You can use the apcod sachets and other drugs recommend by your doctor. They won't prevent pregnancy and also ovashield helps in ovulation induction. Let your husband undergo seminal analysis once to rule out the male factor problem. Then you can go for follicular study and can plan intercourse around the time of ovulation. This will increase the possibility of pregnancy. Take care. | |

Q. Please explain the poisonous effect of phenol ingestion.
Hello doctor, My friend aged 30 had two drops of phenol mistaking for milk. He vomited and had lot of salt water. Please advice for any side effect. | Hi. I want to assure you not to worry as everything is going to be fine if proper care and treatment is opted in for. I have thoroughly gone through your case and can well understand your genuine health concerns. 1. No, there is not much problem right now as he vomited and also had a lot of water. It is fine because it was only two drops. 2. We usually do not go for emesis (vomiting) for phenol poisoning cases. Because, it is a volatile compound and causes vapors entering the lungs through the airways. 3. As it was only two drops, I do not think it may cause much trouble. If he feels short of breath contact me back, otherwise fine. 1. He should avoid re-exposure. 2. Rule out if there is some sort of suicidal ideation due to depression or anxiety and take him to a psychiatrist for physical evaluation.

Thank you for your querry. It doesnt sound to me like something serious. If you experience more intensive pain with vomiting or fever or notice blood in stool you should go to hospial. if not, just eat light food, water and teas. Avoid food which makes you bloaty,alcohol,carbonated drinks and fats. It can be diverticulitis again if you feel pain i lower right or left parts of stomach. in this case antibiotica treatment should be started. I think that nothing bad can happen till tuesday. Colon perforation is very rare and you would feel enormous pain. WIsh you good health. | |

Trying to conceive, have intramural fibroid and tubes blocked, approaching menopause. Suggested embolization and abdominal myomectomy
I have a intramural fibroid that's about 3.5 cm according to my last ultrasound. I desire to get pregnant and have children. Also it is distorting my uterus. Both my tubes are blocked and I'm quickly approaching menopause (FSH level 10 months ago was 72....chinese herbs have brought it down to 12.5). One dr has recommended the embolization method in addition to a hysteroscopy. My regular dr who is also an infertility specialist recommends an abdominal myomectomy. The fibroid sits on the upper left side of my uterus. I am leaning towards the abdominal myomectomy. I did not like the idea that the embolization treatment can push me into menopause. What determines which type of myomectomy is best??? | Hi,Thanks for your query. I read your query and I understand your concerns.Following is my reply:1) Since you dont have much time, I suggest you go ahead with abdominal myomectomy ( preferably Laparoscopic).2) It is better to go for IVF after myomectomy to maximize chances of pregnancy.Let me know if you have anymore doubts.Regards,Dr. Mahesh KoregolIVF & Infertility specialist | |

Suggest treatment for discomfort in middle of the chest and armpit
Hi, I get mild chest pains in the left of my upper body from the middle of my chest to under my arm pit where I experience constant discomfort. Sometimes it feels like heart burn whereas other times my chest feels tight and constricted. The symptoms vary with intensity throughout an average day but they are worse after drinking alcohol. My doctor has prescribed me a few different medicines related to heart burn which as yet have all failed to remedy my symptoms. Any help, small or large would be much appreciated, Thanks and kind regards C Rutter | Hi and thank you for choosing HCM to share your concern.I read carefully your question and i agree that this kind of chest pain has the characteristics of an chest pain related to Gastroesophageal reflux and the times your chest feels constricted and tight it relates to epigastric spasms. It would be good to know what kind of medication and what dosage your doctor prescribed and understand why they didnt gave results on you .The treatment is based on lifestyle modification and control of gastric acid secretion through medical therapy with antacids such as Ranitidine,proton pomp inhibitor such as omeprazole and in extreme situation(which i dont think is your case)with corrective antireflux surgery.lifestyle modification include :Elevate the head of bed Avoid eating for several hours before sleeping Reduce weight if you are overweightAvoid caffeine,nicotine,alcoholEat multiple small mealsSince the list of food and beverages is extensive it requires ti do a personal journal of dietary intake and symptoms.Hope my opinion is a help to you.Wish you good health Kind RegardsDr.Dushi | |

What causes chest pain with reoccurring sinus and throat infections?
In Sept. 2012 I had chest pain, weakness, short of breath, and numbness in my left arm. I was checked at my local ER. There was information that I was not informed about concerning my heart and cholesterol. I followed up with who is now my primary physician. Since all this began, I have been diagnosed with CAD, 40% blockage in a main artery, Asthma, Gerd, Sleep Apnea, Neuropathy legs and hands, and Restless leg syndrome. I have also undergone sinus surgery due to what has become a chronic fight with laryngitis. Both my ENT and I believe there is an underlying cause for the reoccurring sinus and throat infections. However, I have seen a rheumatologist and he believes it is a coincidence of events. I have had continuing pain and pressure in my chest. What could be a cause for these events or is all a coincidence? | Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic. I can understand your concern. Your chest pressure and pain is mostly due to GERD and asthma. Both of these conditions need to control simultaneously, to achieve symptomatic relief. Asthma can worsen GERD and GERD can worsen asthma. And both causes chest pain and pressure. So follow these steps for better symptomatic relief. 1. Avoid stress and tension. 2. Avoid hot and spicy food. Avoid large meals, instead take frequent small meals. 3. Start proton pump inhibitors and prokinetic drugs. 4. Start inhaled bronchodilators and inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) for asthma. 5. Go for walk after meals. 6. Keep 2-3 pillows under head in the bed to prevent reflux. All these drugs are prescribed medicines so you need doctor 's prescription for them. Don't worry, you will be alright. Wish you good health. Thanks. | |

Suggest treatment for cervical disc degeneration
I have pain in my left shoulder due to cervical disc degeneration. There is a bone spur compression on a nerve that causes shoulder muscle to continuously be contracted on a Charlie horse. Continuous pain. Nerve ablation was unsuccessful due to the bone spur being in the way. Any suggestions? Nerve blocks, cervical epidurals have not worked. Physical therapy did not work. I take flexeril and ibuprofen for pain. Any suggestions? | Hi there.You could be suffering from cervical spondylosis which is causing pinched nerve and the symptoms you are experiencing.

On Morphine for Fibromylagia, Cancer. Any herbal supplement with same effect ?
HI, I am currently on Morphine and have been for about 4 years. I was wondering if there is an herbal supplement that would have a similar effect. I am a cancer patient and have fibromyalgia. Also, I would like to wean myself off without suffering from withdrawal. My tolerance is high and want to come off the Morphine gradually. | Hi and thanks for the query,I am afraid there is no evidence based herbal medicine as effective and as strong as morphines. You might actually have to continue on morphines. You ill need to seek advice from your physician for a tapering schedule. As you rightly said, withdrawal symptoms might set in and might deserve the intervention of your doctor. Thanks and kind regards,Bain LE, MD. | |
SHL problem in ears, advised to use hearing aids, cold, blocked nose. Any homeopathy treatment?
Hello Dr. Rangadhar, This is regarding my daughter who is 5 yrs old. It has been said that she had SHL problem in both the ears and has been advised to use hearing aids which she is not very comfortable with. I would like to know if there is any Homeopathy treatment for this problem?. She also gets cold very often and her nose gets blocked most of the nights and sneezes a lot in the morning after getting up from bed. Can I get some advice from you?Thankyou,Rezi | Hello friend,Thank you for posting your query through Healthcare magic.Sudden hearing loss (SHL) is a name given by conventional medicine to those patients whose nervous system involved in hearing is damaged by past suppressive treatments given for complaints of cold. Getting frequent cold is a genetic and constitutional disease, which should have been treated with Homoeopathy. There are very good remedies like Tuberculinum, Baryta carb, Silicea, Calcarea carb etc for preventing frequent cold and other connected diseases. With these sort of remedies, the constitutional tendency to get cold is rapidly and permanently treated successfully in Homoeopathy. Such children are given pain killers, anti inflammatory and antibiotic drugs by the conventional medicine. They give external applications in nose and ears and cough syrup for cough and antifebrile like paracetamol for fever etc. All these drugs arrest the natural tendency of the body to cure the disease by brining about discharges, fever, inflammation etc. When the body is not allowed to express disease in the most harmless areas and tissues deeper tissues like Nervous system are affected. Body has a natural tendency to keep the inner and more important tissues healthy by manifesting diseases in the relatively less important tissues. When it is suppressed by very strong suppressive chemical drugs such damages to the Nervous system occurs. Anosmia following nasal drops, SHL following ear drops, meningitis and a large variety of mental retardation and cerebral palsy by anti febrile drugs are common after effects of such treatments of conventional medicine.Why I am writing this much is to make you understand that it is not the SHL that you should aim at now. Let her tendency to get cold, which is a genetic and constitutional problem of your daughter has to be corrected. For that you have to come back from the path of conventional medicine in which you were for the last 5 years treating your daughter and you have to start in a new path that is of HOMOEOPATHY. This is an entirely different road to health. It is not late you start taking her along this humanitarian path. I do not know how much damage her nerves carrying hearing impulses from ears to the brain have met with by this time. Homoeopathy can offer her health in the best possible manner. Homoeopathy has got several instances where such damages to the nervous system has got repaired. Neurons in the nerves have got tremendous capacity to develop collatera |
