Q. Will waiting for chemotherapy to remove main intestinal cancer cause serious issues?
Hello doctor, My father is suffering from intestinal cancer. It is a tumor and the tumor blocked his intestine. D2 is completely blocked and then today he had a surgery in which all the spreadings is removed. Stomach bypass is now done but the main tumor is not removed and they said it will be after chemotherapy but chemotherapy is very late and cancer cells will spread. Please tell us what all would be the consequences. | Hi. Welcome to icliniq.com. It was emergency surgery done to relieve the blockage, complete surgery will be done after chemotherapy because chemotherapy will further shrink the tumor and will make the surgery more feasible. Since surgery is done now, chemotherapy can be started only after healing of surgical wounds which takes 3 to 4 weeks. So, this is the only option. So we need to hope for best and tumor should not spread to distant sites. | |

Don't worry, you will be alright in 1-2 weeks with above mentioned measures. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks. | |

Soft, movable lump in the back of neck, occasional pain. Ultrasound showed only tissues. Cancer?
I have a large (near baseball sized) lump in the back of my neck (near the base). It is soft, moveable, and does cause some pain in the surrounding areas. I had an ultrasound today which just showed tissue and nothing else. What could this be? Could it be cancer? Should I try to get a referral to a specialist of some kind? | Dear Sir/ Ma'am,Sorry to hear about your problem. From the description of the lump, it looks like a benign swelling (as it is soft and mobile). It can most probably be a lipoma (collection of fat) and back of the neck is a common location for such a swelling.You should visit a surgeon and have it evaluated. Just to rule out a cancer, you can have a needle test (FNAC).Hoping for the best. | |

I was diagnosed with high risk HPV a few months ago, and now suffering from pneumonia. I ve been on 3 rounds of antibiotics, 2 rounds of steroids, plus one steroid shot, and two antibiotic shots. I have now had my period for 3 weeks. Curious as to why this could happen and how dangerous was it for the hpv to be on steroids for so long. | Hello, It could be the steroids or just the prolonged illness.

You also need to see a doctor soon to make sure you are not anemic due to all the bleeding.Regards | |
Q. Chest pain on taking deep breaths while sleeping on back. Please help.
Hello doctor, My ECG is normal. When I sleep on back and take deep breaths, I feel pain in the chest. I am BP patient. After delivery via C-section, I am taking tablet Almovas 2.5. Please advice me. | Hello. I read carefully your question and would explain that your symptoms do not seem to be related to the heart. Gastro-esophageal reflux could be the most probable cause of your complaints. Coming to this point, it is necessary performing a fibrogastroscopy to investigate for this disorder. An antiacid or PPI (Omeprazole, etc.) can help improve your situation. Regarding Amlodipine, it can exacerbate acid reflux as a common adverse effect. For this reason, it may be necessary to switch to another anti-hypertensive therapy (ACEI or ARB drug). | |

Suggest treatment for cough due to post nasal drip in children
My baby is almost 6 weeks old, has caught a cold (or similar) from his 18 month old sister. Sister was given antibiotics (5 days ago) by GP since her cough was not improving after a few days and he believed she was getting bronchiolitis. Sister is now mostly recovering but baby is getting worse: - screamed for most of an hour trying to feed him 6 hours ago, refused approximately 40 of 100 ml bottle. - has been lethargic most of the day. - refused to shut his mouth to drink his next bottle ( approx 2 hours ago) and took only 30 ml of 100 ml bottle - normal is 130 - 150ml for this one. - has persistent cough (though no whoop thankfully). GP suggested chest clear, cough due to post nasal drip, though lethargy and refusing food are new symptoms. | HiThe symptoms are suggestive of respiratory tract infection rather than post nasal drip. I would recommend you to go for a chest X Ray and blood sepsis screen which includes CBC, CRP and blood culture. If the child is not feeding well and seems lethargic then hospitalization and management will be useful. | |

A course of antibiotic like azithromycin and NSAIDs like ibuprofen will help you out.Do consider a positive feedback as a credit to my work. Let me know if you have any further questions. | |

Is it normal to have increased urination after a TURP button procedure?
Hi,I had the TURP button procedure 5 weeks ago. Every hour or hour and a half max. during the day I get a sudden urgent urge to urinate. When this occurs I have about maybe 10 seconds max. to void or be very embarrassed!. My stream is strong and fast but the volume is no greater than pre-op. Is this normal ? If so when can I expect this urgency to void to normalize and begin gaining some volume? or am I having an issue ? Thank you . | Yes. The bladder has been used to pushing very hard due to the large prostate. Now that the prostate is less enlarged from the button, the bladder has to retrain itself to function. The urgency should subside in 4-6 weeks. Please rate 5 stars! I strive to provide you with the best answer possible! | |

What could cause unsuccessful ICSI treatment?
I have failed ICSI treatment?? Reason stated were there could be possible kochs still present after 8 months of ATT treatment in the past with AKT3. Now physician again putting me on AKT4 excempting ethambutol as i have reaction to this drug. Is it suggestable to go again with AKT4 along with DHEAPREG for ovarian reserve at the same time as AMH value is 2.9. OB/GYN says to continue this for three months and then go for laparoscopy to check for any healing. Please suggest is okay to go before i go forward with another cycle of ICSI or try naturally as suggested by second opinion when there is no problem with tubes and uterus there are also chances to conceive during this treatment.... Please suggest. | Semen ello, Thanks for writing in. Let me answer your basic concern first. A.I don't think you need to be treated for Koch's for the second time just on presumption that the disease may still be persisting. Currently there are no proper set of guidelines to dictate when genital Koch's has to be treated. As lot of tests used for diagnosis indicate only presence of bacteria but not an ONGOING INFECTION which is very important to differentiate. So I recommend you to not opt for it unless 1. Your RNA PCR for kochs in endometrial sample comes positive.2.There is direct evidence of Koch's on hysteria laparoscopy which your doctor will let you know.3. TB bacteria is seen on histopathology slide made from endometrial biopsy sample.Other tests done for Koch's should only support diagnosis but should not be the basis for unnecessary treatment. B. I would also suggest you to not take DHEA preg as it is meant for women with very low ovarian reserve. Your AMH value which talks about your ovarian reserve is well above 2 meaning you have good number of eggs in your ovaries. C.Its difficult to opine regarding your chances of natural conception as you haven't mentioned your age and duration of infertility, semen report, indication for icsi, tubal function test report and other relevant information in your query.But if your tubes are fine and no ovulatory problem , semen analysis is normal, and if you are trying for less than 2 or 3 years you may try another 6 months. You may conceive naturally even without treatment but it may take few months to many years which can't be predicted.Hope this helps. Take care. | |

How to increase my baby s weight?
Hello Dr Santosh, My daughter will turn 3 yrs on 16th Jan. She is just 10.4kg. She was born with 2.8kg. Though she is active and very talkative and understands everyhing and speaks fluently mother tongue, she has not gained much weight since last 2yrs. She gained hardly 2.5 kg in last 2years. She is a vegetarian but eats everything, though we feed her. I feel there is something wrong in he growth. I see acording to growth curve she should be atleast 12kg by her 3rd year. Please suggest how can she increase her weight. She looks like a 2yr oldd girl. Thanks in advance | Thank you for follow up. My name is Dr.Svetlana. I want to ask you how often she eat, has she stool after every meal, did you check her for worms. At the first you should do stool examination, stool culture, stool for ova and cyst, check blood test for anaemia. Of couse, for profilaxis you can give zentel syrup 1 time, then you should start to feed baby every 4 hours 4 times in a day and between give fruits to her. Give to her in the evening 4 tablespoons porridge with milk, in the afternoon - blended dahi 200ml +panir 100gr+a little sugar. Give to her cookies, egg every alternative day. In addition start to give multivitamins-zincovit 1 teaspoon 1 time 2months and digestive enzyme syrup. She is hyperactive, try to involve her indoor games and see how much she eat. In addition she can eat boiled potato, salad, soup with mushrooms, eggs, cheese, boiled cow milk 200ml every day ,then she will gain. I will wait results of your analises then we will discuss.Best regardsDr.Svetlana | |
Is ECG required for hemoglobin level of 9.8 and chest pain?
Sir, I am facing chest pain problem since last 3 month my hemoglobin level is low 9.80gm . we are taking advice of Cardiologist he has prescribe the Iron Tab and Multivitamin syrup for continue 3 months. He has advice to me we will do the ECG after 10 days but ECG showing the paches . Pls suggest me | Thanks for your question on HCM. I can understand your situation and problem. Yes, ECG is needed in chest pain with anemia. Hemoglobin is very important for body. It is the only substance which carries oxygen to all organs of the body. So when hemoglobin is low, all body organs are getting less oxygen and so heart needs to pump more rapidly to fulfill the body 's demand of oxygen. So anemia increase cardiac work load and thus can damage heart. So chest pain in anemia patients should be evaluated for cardiac damage. So ecg is must in your case. And correction of anemia is must for you. So start your iron and multivitamin tablets. | |

Hi Dr. Chetna, I am Lavanya, 28 yrs, working & married since 6 yrs. My hubby Manjunath, 36 yrs is a lecturer. Planned to start with the family & underwent some Ayurvedic & Hallopathy treatments. Doctors informed us that I had PCOD & my husbby semen count is low. After waiting for 1 yr, we are now consulting Dr. Kamini Rao.

Regards, Lavanya | Hi lavanya.Your doctor should provide you with all the supporting medications such as progesterone, hCG injections, etc; that should help support the IVF and implantation. So other than that, I can only wish you luck and pray all goes well.Best wishes. | |
Should we be concerned about the small sized penis of 9 year old?

Over the past year, my CBC results have shown elevated platelet, MCV and MCH levels. Platelet count varies from 442-485, MCV is 98.3 and MCH is 32.3.

What causes elevated SGPT and SGOT levels?
My husband went to the Dr. today and found out that his ALT (SGPT) Was 132 and his Alt (SGOT) was 188. He is an alcoholic and has been drinking more liquor than beer lately. What does this mean? I think he is in worse shape than he thinks and I am worried. | HelloYour husband findings suggests increased SGPT and SGOT level.Increased SGPT indicates liver injury and it may be due to many reasons like hepatitis,alcohol intake,altered lipid profile, medicines,auto immune causes etc.Increased SGPT in his case may be due to alcohol intake.Increased SGOT is non specific and it increases in many conditions.He need few other investigations like viral markers,lipid profile and ultrasound of abdomen.He may need to take some medicines after proper evaluation.I suggest my patients to take tablet ursodeoxycholic acid 300 mg twice daily for three months.It helps in regeneration of liver cells.He should avoid alcohol completely.Get well soon.Take CareDr.Indu Bhushan | |
How can diarrhea and vomiting caused by Triamcinolone cream be treated?
Hello, my 4 year old has scabies. For the itch I have been applying triamcinolone 0.1% cream. I applied it on his body yesterday & today he woke up throwing up and a little diarrhea. After about 30 min-an hour or so of throwing up, he stopped and felt perfectly fine all day with no symptoms. Then at night I gave him a bath and then applied it on him again. About 3 hours later he woke up with bad diarrhea and vommiting again. Can the cream be causing this reaction? What should I do? | Hi, Topical application of Triamcilone will not cause nausea or vomiting. For scabies , the ideal treatment would be application of permethrin over the skin. Itching can be treated with oral hydroxizine. For vomiting and loose stools, oral emeset and plenty of oral fluids will help. I would suggest you to hydrate the child adequately and get a pediatric dermatologist opinion for continuation of Triamcilone. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Regards, Dr. Nirubhan Bharathy, Pediatrician | |
Can I become pregnant when I have PID?
Just a few days ago i had my gallbladder removed and during surgery my surgeon diagnosed me with fitz hugh curtis sydrome. He removed the adhesions during my surgery and told me that i had nothing to worry about. I read further and seen that it could cause infertility. I have never been pregnant and now i am thinking this may be why. Is it possible for me still to have a child?? | Hi,Fitz Hugh Curtis syndrome is caused by chlamydia. Chlamydia can affect fallopian tubes and if you have evidence of infection/adhesion on surgery, you need to confirm the patency of the tubes. This can be done by HSG (hysterosallphingo graphy ) or laparoscopically by dye,the added advantage of laparoscopy is adhesiolysis and if the tubes are blocked cannulation can be attempted simultaneously.But if blockage of both tubes is identified then IVF could be a better optionHope this helps.Regards. | |

Q. What are the ways to manage bleeding gums?
Hello doctor, Blood comes from my teeth and my teeth are going to loose its grip. How can I stop this blood which is coming from my teeth and how can I strengthen them? | Hello. Gum bleeding and gum recession or weakness is a sign of gum condition called gingivitis. Gingivitis is the inflammation of the gums caused due to constant irritation by tartar/calculus (hardened yellow deposits on the tooth). Food deposits or plaque that settles on tooth gets calcified on the long run and becomes hardened calculus deposit. Constantly irritated gums become weak and starts to bleed when we brush or in the morning time after waking up. A professional scaling and polishing procedure is done by an ultrasonic scaler instrument to remove that calculus. Once removed, the gums take a day to heal and the gum bleeding will stop the next morning. Please visit your dentist and get this procedure done. This procedure can be done once in 6 months if required. Although we do a proper brushing every day, there are certain spots between teeth where the bristles fail to reach. Hence a professional tooth cleaning is always adviced once in a while. There are certain brushing techniques that can be followed to prevent calculus accumulation. Get to know that from you dentist and please do follow them. 1. Follow a healthy diet and lifestyle. 2. Get a dental checkup once in 6 months. (To diagnose any issues if present at the earliest). 3. Follow proper oral hygiene by brushing twice daily especially before bed and mouth rinsing after every meal. This way you will have a healthy teeth and gums. | |

Rash on the inner thigh, foul smell. Could this be STD or fungal infection?
I have, what I believe to be, a rash on my inner left thigh. The soft area between my left thigh and scrotum is irritated, glossy with sweat (puss?), and smells a very strong foul odor.

All jokes aside, I am very nervous about getting this checked out, fearing the results of the testing...

What to do for the rash on the arm?
I have a rash or brusing on my arm between the wrist and elbow. It occurs most often when my arms are covered with long sleeves, like a jacket or sweater, If I wear a watch or any metal, it will also happen if I carry any item such as a bag containing any item over 8 oz | Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.From your description of your rash it could be one of these possibilities:Allergy or eczema, which usually appears in such areas, especially, if you have a prior history of any allergies. It could be aggravated by contact with the synthetic/woolen fabric or any metallic object, most commonly containing nickel such as watches and jewelry. This is allergic contact dermatitis. Without treatment it may persist and aggravate each time you come in contact with certain items.Sweat/certain cosmetics/strong soaps can also make it worse. The strap of the bag may be causing a reaction rather than the weight. The bag rubbing on the rash may also aggravate it.Also, rule out similar rashes elsewhere on the body and in family members to check for fungal infections, etc.First step is to note down exactly all the causes that give you a rash and avoid them. Once you are allergic to something, repeated exposure will cause repeated and worse rashes.Check with a dermatologist to confirm and certain blood and skin tests may be done to check allergy levels and to find out allergens as well such as patch testing.Avoid direct sun/dust exposure on the area. Wear loose cotton clothing. Use a mild nonfragranced soap and always moisturize with a hypoallergenic product such as Cetaphil.For the rash apply Calamine lotion 2 to 3 times a day when itchy. During a recurrence of new rashes or severe rash apply a steroid-based cream like Mometasone for 5 to 7 days till it heals. Do not use for a prolonged period, more than 2 weeks.Antihistamines like Levocet or Benadryl can be taken till itching subsides.Keep in mind that it is recurrent if exposed to allergic items and will take a while to heal. Don’t scratch the area. Visit a dermatologist for follow-up or if it persists.I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.Regards,Dr. Dinah Levillard | |
What can cause small lump above Adam's apple in throat?
I have a small lump about a half inch to an inch above my Adam's apple, slightly off center to the left. I've recently experienced cold-like symptoms: sneezing, runny nose, a little bit of a sore throat. Just wondering if the lump/bump might be related to it - possibly a swollen gland? | Hi, dearI have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You may have some enlarged submandibular gland, enlarged lymphnode or some thyroid swelling. You should go for examination. If your lump moves with swallowing then itvis of thyroid gland. If it doesn't move with swallowing then it can be lymphnode or salivary gland. Then you should go for ultrasound neck and fine needle aspiration cytology study accordingly. It will give you exact diagnosis. Then you should take treatment according to diagnosis. Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health. | |

It would have been great if you had mentioned your age your age/ weight & height.I would suggest you to go through the following check list & get the tests done if not done so farHusband- Semen analysis at least 2- done 4 weeks apart preferably in an infertility center ( examination done by andrologist), Blood sugarsWife - Blood Sugars, Thyroid profile Ultrasound scans to evaluate Uterus , Ovaries & adnexa Confirm tubal patency- most important- Tube is the connection between uterus & ovaries( the bridge where sperm meets the egg & forms a baby) this is size of hair follicle & cannot be seen on scans. So check with HSG( Xray with dye), or SSG ( Scan with dye) or LaparoscopyFrom your history I presume you to have PCOD ( Polycystic ovaries), this is usually associated with Obesity, irregular cycles, no periods for few months & later heavy periods with clots & fleshy masses, Thyroid abnormality & prolactin problem indirectly.You develop that extra-pad of fat around the mid-segment of body, especially waist, thighs & breast, no fat beyond elbow & knees. Excessive body hair growth, hair fall , dark shade over lower half of face, acne , oily face skin, black skin over back of neck, inner thighs & under surface of breast. May have a family history of Diabetes, especially father or his family.This will not allow ovulation to occur at time & so you cannot get pregnant, till treated. It also increases your chances of early pregnancy abortions. But this has a solution.Just delay pregnancy for few months. Your weight has to be Weight(in Kgs)= Height (in cms)-100eg- If height 160cms, 160-100= 60-65 kg is expected weight.Once you reduce weight to normal range, you won't need any medicine to get periods or to get pregnant & pregnancy will be healthy. To reduce weight -NO FASTING, No junk food/ fast foods/ red meat, reduce snacks in between mealsHave low calories food, high proteinsRegular exercise, aerobics , yoga, brisk walkingtry to reduce 2-4 kgs / month. Don't hurry on weight reduction, it will be difficult to maintain. As soon as you reduce atleast 5 kgs , you will see changes.Even if you are in normal weight range , try this schedule, it will help.Hope I have cleared your queryDo write back if any more queriesAll the bestDr.Balakrishnan | |
What is the prognosis for type-II respiratory failure?
mys sister is down with arnold chiari malformation type 1 with syringomyelia she has undergone two surgery 2003 and 2005 respectively. recently she was diagonised with respiratory type II failure now she is bedridden is there any scope of improving her health ? | Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic. I can understand your concern. Type 2 respiratory failure means hypercapnic (high carbon dioxide) respiratory failure. This means she is not exhaling carbon dioxide out of the body effectively. It is commonly seen with brain diseases and neurosurgery patients. Brain controls respiration (inspiration as well as expiration). So when diseases of brain progress, respiration is also affected, specifically expiration. Since her brain condition is irreversible and not improving, her type 2 respiratory failure will also worsen and not improve. So prognosis in her case is very poor. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your sister. Thanks. | |
What causes enlarged liver in a child?
Hi this Pushparghya writing in from India. According to IST, it is night, but still Good evening!!!Hope u r also doing great.

But he is too young and he does not take any outside food. What should be the cause and how that can be taken care of??? | Liver enlargement can be due to many reasons, but the most likely reason is infective jaundice due to water or food contamination with hepatitis virus A. Please take him to his physician and request him to order blood tests to check bilirubin, liver enzymes etc. The ultrasound has already shown an enlarged liver, but now we need to confirm the cause of this enlargement. Treatment will depend on the cause. | |
Can acute high blood pressure cause permanent brain damage?
ease type your query here...My childrens nanny collapsed today with blood pressure 290 over 148 when paramedics arrived. She was completely incoherent and nauseous... could this cause permanent brain damage. Forgot to mention we live in a third world country - she had swelling and bruising on her arm and did not bump herself - could this be related to todays incident? Could the arm bruising be a clotted artery? 7 hours after admission we still had not seen a doctor.. so I have not been abke to get any answers? | Hello, I would explain that such high blood pressure values can lead to intracranial hemorrhage For this reason, I would recommend performing a brain CT scan in order to be sure that everything is OK. Regarding the bruise in her arm, I don't think that it could be related to a blood clot. But, I think that it could be caused by a trauma during falling. Anyway, a physical exam and an X-ray may be needed. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Regards, Dr. Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist | |

We thought the daycare forgot to put sunscreen on him, but when we inquired about it, they said none of the babies went outside yesterday...Does this sound like allergies or eczema or a different illness to you? | Hi, This might be a case of contact Dermatitis?

If you go and tell a doctor that you are anxious and worried, definitely he will prescribe these medicines because that is their job. They initially treat you according to what you tell and then with the help of test et all. Anxiety is a disorder and not a disease. Diseases need medicines and not disorders.

Help and motivate others with the help of your experience. Keep yourself engaged in service. Go to temple and sit there. See other's problems and you see your problem is nothing in comparison. Drink plenty of water, breath deep and intake lot of oxygen and walk walk and walk. Do this for a fortnight and come back to me.Then, Please post a direct question to me in this website. Make sure that you include every minute details possible. I shall prescribe some psychotherapy techniques which should help you cure your condition further.Hope this answers your query.

Does using potassium permanganate to wash hair lead to hair loss?
hello sir,i am a student,27yrs old and living in hostel where the water contains full amount of Iron,due to that the floor becomes red in color also its effecting my hair..so one of my friend snuggest me to use potassium permanganate in water and use it for hair wash....will it cause any harm to my hair? plzzz help..... | Hi, As per your query you have symptoms of hair loss which seems to be due to improper hygiene, genetic factors, hormonal changes and due to nutritional deficiencies. You should apply Mintop directly to the scalp to help hair growth by stimulating the hair follicles. You should start with the use of Finasteride combinations as it interferes with the production of a male hormone which is related to causing baldness. You should take multivitamins containing biotin. Potassium permanganate use response varies from person to person. You should apply olive oil on the scalp for head massage. Visit dermatologist once and get it examined and start medication after proper prescription. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

i sometimes feel i have to breathe deeply and i feel light headed and i have a feeling as if im fainting.. i sometimes feel heavy and weak on my shoulders and i kinda feel some tingling or slight piercing pain in my heart.. do i have a heart problem or something else coz i feel scared.. | Hello! Thank you for asking on HCM!I understand your concern, and could explain that all yuor clinical scenario seems compatible with an anxiety exacerbation (the way it starts, nonspecific and scattered symptoms, to end with totally non specific piercing pain in your heart area).This doesn't seem to be heart related. So, do not panic! Just relax!I would recommend to perform a routine medical check up by your doctor (internist or GP) for a careful physical exam, a resting ECG, chest X ray study, and some additional lab tests (complete blood count, PCR, fasting glucose, liver and renal function tests, etc), to address the offending etiological cause. You need to discuss with your attending physician about the above issues.Hope to have been helpful! greetings! Dr. Iliri | |

Suffering from atopic dermatitis, psoriasis, allergy after delivery, have dryness and redness of face and neck, puffy eyes. How can I cure it naturally?
hi, i m suffering from a combination of atopic dermatitis , psorisis and allergy from last 5-6 yrs..it started after the birth of my first child..my skin becomes itchy, dry and red on my face and neck..my eyes becomes puffy..i ve taken medicines, anti allergic injection also..i;ve even tried treating it by homeopathy ..initially the results r seen but again it comes back to normal..if i take 5mg. betnesol, just for 3-4 days..my skin becomes clear and normal..but i am scared as i dont want to be depended on steroid ..please help me as its been from quite a long time. | Hi! as you have mentioned your complaints are basically hypersensitivie and autoimmune by nature. these kind of problems are caused by altered sensitivity and susceptibility to the envirionment (may in external or internal). being a homoeopath what i can say is that homoeopathy is most probably more suitable to treat such condition as it treats the person, and not the disease. As you have taken Homoeopathy in past there may be 2 things, 1) As psoriasis is being known for its recurrence, it may have come back but this time in less intensity and in less area of your body. 2) your homoeopath needs to rework on your case, make fresh case taking and see how things unfold. I dont think other modes can give you lasting results. Regards and take care, Dr. Mikin Jain (m.d.) homoeo. | |
Will there be severe chest and stomach pain due to hole in the heart?
my grand daughter was diagnosed several years ago with a hole in her heart. Surgery to close the hole will occur when the doctors feel she is old enough. Her and her mother are the typical 'boy who cried wolf' complainers. (I don't mean to be harsh, but she has 3 kids and numerous times shes said they were on their death beds for non-existent conditions, just for attention.) My grand daughter uses physical complaints for attention now too. My question is, with a hole in her heart should she experience 'severe' chest and stomach pains? when it's time for bed, for instance, she will say her heart is hurting and she will throw fits and demand pain pills. (she is 8). Just wondering if this is a legitimate symptom. She is full of energy and runs around non-stop... until she gets told something she doesn't want to hear, like bed time. | thank you and pleased to answer youthere is considerable evidence suggesting association between hole in the heart or congenital heart defect and pain in the head mostly migraine. the reason for this particular association is unclear ( genetic??) but medical literature reports a large number of patients that undergone surgical closure reported a significant reduction or disappearance of migraine. painkiller may relieves symptoms time to do surgery.may this help you. | |

Suggest treatment for heavy breathing and snoring in a child
Hi, my son 4 years old nd I got dis problem with his snoring and its starting 2 get bad due 2 his heavy breathing. I took him 2 a hospital nd they gave me only allergy syrup. I would like to know if it is a sinus problem or if its meds dat make it worst cause his breathing through his mouth only? And what is there to do for his restless at night? | Your child could be having tonsillar enlargement. Tonsils are lymphoid organs present at the back of our throat and often get enlarged when we catch cold. It (tonsillitis) is more likely than sinusitis. Since the airway gets blocked by the enlarged tonsils, heavy and mouth breathing with snoring is commonly seen.It does not need to be treated with antibiotics. Antiallergics need to be given and your doctor has done the right thing in prescribing it. Medicines will not make it worse. Gurgling with lukewarm water should be helpful, if the child can be guided to do so.Propensity of tonsillar infections comes down with age. You would have to be patient. | |

Does 6 weeks of pregnancy appear as 8 weeks in ultrasound?
Hi my name is Malcolm, my wife got an ultrasound today and the doctor said the ultrasound showed 8 weeks but they always show bigger than what really is so we have to subtract two weeks from that. meaning my wife would be 6 weeks pregnant? is that the truth? | Hi, I understand your query.

What causes blue discoloration and pain in the thumb?
My mom is 90 years old, she has a heart valve problem (just a background). The issue currently is a quarter size purplish/blue spot on her thumb with swelling, redness and pain. It started from a tiny white bump on her skin. She did not prick her skin at all prior to the tiny white bump appearing. This is her third strange infection on her fingers in less than 6 months. | Hello Thanks for posting here. As per your description it seems that she develops clots or emboli in the small arteries of the hand which leads to obstruction in blood supply and hence pain, swelling and redness. Sometimes vegetations (bacterial growths on valves) can lead to embolism or throwing away of clots from the heart to distant vessels, in this case arteries of her hand. Please do a 2 D echo to rule out these vegetations on the valves. Another important cause may be atherosclerosis of the hand arteries due to old age. Atherosclerosis causes the arteries to thin out leading to deficinecy of blood supply and the above symptoms. In that case a upper limb doppler is adviced but since it involves only the thumb or finger it is unlikely to be picked up by a doppler scan. I advice you to do a 2 D echo and start her on blood thinners like Ecosprin 75-150 mg. She should do well on that. If 2d echo does not show any vegetations, you can start her on tablet Trental 400 mg twice a day, which is a medication that increases the microcirculation. wishing her good healthRegards |
