But were not able to do it on 14th and 15th day. I sthere a chance for me to become pregnant. | Hello dearI understand your concernPregnancy is possible when sex was done between 10th-20th days of the period.As you did sex from 8th to 13th and 16th day and sperm can live enter the genital tract for 4-6 days and can fertilise the ovum.So pregnancy is possible.If your period will delay by the 8-10 days then go for urine pregnancy test and or blood HCG to confirm the pregnancy.Avoid stress, take healthy diet, do regular exercise and drink pelnty of waterI hope this will help you.ThanksDr.sagar | |

Q. How long should my husband and I wait to try for a baby if we did cocaine?
Hello doctor,I am trying to conceive but my husband and I did cocaine a week ago. How long should my husband and I wait to safely continue to try to get pregnant? How long until it is out of our system? How long does cocaine stay in sperm? Thanks in advance. | Hello, Wellcome to iclinq.com. There are few researches/studies on cocaine use by males and its effect on pregnancy. Few suggest that cocaine by itself has limited effects as most of the time it is taken along with other drugs or as a cocktail of alcohol and cigarette (tobacco). So, most of the people take not just cocaine but a combination of drugs. Cocaine narrows blood vessels (vasoconstriction). It can lead to erectile dysfunction. Few studies suggest that it has receptors on testicles and sperm. So, it can degenerate testicular tissues/or sperm quality, transfer from sperm to female egg and can lead to early miscarriage. Cocaine is a very fast acting drug which affects the nervous system and produces short-lived euphoric attitude for 15 minutes to an hour, but causes long-term damage to the body and brain like anxiety, depression, aggression, impairment of logic and critical thinking, heart problem, hypertension and decrease in bone density. Its half-life is an hour. So, it takes about an hour for half of the cocaine consumed to leave the body. But, with long-term use, the drug starts to accumulate in the blood and body tissues allowing certain tests to detect it in the system for an extended period of time. After a single use of cocaine, agents created by its metabolism can be detected in the urine for two to four days, and in chronic users, cocaine can be detected up to 12 days and highly concentrated cocaine can be detected in the urine up to three weeks. It can be detected in the saliva and blood for an average 12-48 hours. In hairs and sweat for an extended period of time, it can be detected. So, after all the above description, I do not know how your husband had cocaine, as a cocktail along with other drugs, or just cocaine? Secondly, how long he has been taking it? For you, have you been on alcohol, cocaine or smoking? If you had taken in the past, better to quit completely. My advice is, try to avoid drugs like cocaine, alcohol, ketamine, and MDMA completely for a couple of months before trying for pregnancy. Because, if the mother has an addiction, it has psychosocial effects on the fetus in addition to the drugs' side effects itself. Best of luck.

Hormones control menstrual cycle and when the hormones are not well balance, irregularities in menstruation occur.Another possibility is less frequent intercourse. Ideally, you should have at least 4 days of intercourse (the days not consecutive) a week to increase the chances of having sex during your wife's fertile period.Other possibilities do exist, so it will be better to meet a fertility doctor for detail investigations.Best regardsDr Achuo | |

Severe tooth pain on drinking something cold. Taking ansaid, sudden sharp pain. Treatment?
I feel excruciating pain in my tooth whenever I drink something cold , even it s just mineral water. The pain doesn t go away until I take a medicine (Ansaid). These days it s become so strong that even if I take a tablet, it doesn t subside completely and prevails. Sometimes my tooth starts aching even when I haven t eaten anything at all. | Hi, Pain due to cold is an early sign of nerve irritation. As you have been taking pain killers for this problem the problem has reached a chronic stage when even those do not help. If your tooth starts aching on its own and specially if you get up at night due to sudden tooth pain then these are the symptoms for infected tooth. it can be treated by root canal treatment which your dentist will confirm after taking your xrays. For emergency relief of pain, you can put clove in your mouth on the tooth which is hurting as it will give you temporary but instant relief. I strongly recommend you to visit your dentist and get the required treatment done. Regards | |

I have Psoriasis in both of my ears really bad, some times my ears feel so weighted down, I know I shouldn't do this , but it's the only way I could figure out how to get the flakes out. But I used a tweezer to pull the flakes out. The past two day it has been so thick that I take the tweezer and get under the the the the dead skin and pull out a pile of flakes about the half size of a pea.

I can understand your anxiety for your disease. But,you have to keep patience. You might get relief slowly. And due to some factors it might relapse...Remember it is a controllable disease..You consult nearby dermatologist for firm diagnosis and perfect treatment.I would like to suggest few things as follow....- acitretin 25 mg daily- methotraxate 15 mg weekly in three devided doses of 5 mg 12 hourly.- Blood tests ..routine & LFT may be done at regular intervals- Steroid with salicylic acid oint may be applied twice a day on the psoriatic lesions...on trunk and extremities- But, please avoid the use of betnovate on psoriatic lesions on foreskin and soft tissue areas..as it is a moderately strong steroid.

So, take care.After few months,you may be alright. But, maintenance therapy may be continued. And if there is relapse, you may restart the treatment.Have patience...Thanks.Dr. Ilyas Patel MD | |

Are anxiety, depression and insomnia related to salicylates?
I continue to suffer with anxiety, depression, an insomnia to varying degrees on any given day. At the moment, not feeling too bad but on other days, the feelings are almost overwhelming. My initial concern was that the problem could due to a sensitivity to salicylates. You, however, assured me that this was not the case. For my edification, could you please elaborate as to why you do not think that my problems are due to salicylates or some other unknown food sensitivity. The most bothersome problem is the inability to achieve a deep and restful night s sleep. In the mornings I awaken feeling frightened and as if I am having an allergic reaction to something, ie, I feel as though there is mucous in my throat and that my tongue is swelling. No doctor that I have discussed this has offered a helpful solution. I realize that this is a lot, but is all very troublesome and frightening and constantly wonder if all of the symptoms are related, ie, the seeming allergic reactions, anxiety, and depression. Any further insight that you could provide would be greatly appreciated and thank you so much for your follow-up contact. | you are thinking too much and not relax mentally. unnecessary thinking cause problem, brain control the entire body. so please be relax, relaxation mentally avoid nervous excitation and keep body normal. too much thinking cause problem as nervous system and body balance change. so be relax first to over come your problem | |

What causes drainage from tooth extraction site?
three weeks ago I had a bad headache, blurred vision and some numbness on l side of face. I went to the ER and they did a CT and bloodwork. I was told all was ok and they sent me home with ERY 333 in case there was an underlying infection of some sort. They did mention a small amount of fluid on L eardrum. I went ahead and followed up with an eye dr and dentist. The eye doctor did the exam and dialated my eyes. He was concerned about Giant cell arteritis and wanted the results of my bloodwork. I had to go back and have that particular blood test drawn. The number was a 10 and not 50 or more so he ruled that out. I then went to my dentist and the xrays showed a possible abcessed root. Second to last molar on the L side. Because it was such a big filling he went ahead and pulled it. I was then tols to continue my antibiotics and he prescribed more. I still have a on again off again headache, never any fever. Tooth area feels beter today is two weeks, although looks like it is still draining a bit. I was out and about today and my husband said that my was was all red. I looked in the mirror and it was all red and bloodshot looking. Then after about an hour it was normal again. I am starting to get a bit stressed wondering what is going on. I finished my last antibiotic tab today also. | Helloi have read your query.Although having a tooth pulled is usually very safe, the procedure can allow harmful bacteria into the bloodstream. Gum tissue is also at risk of infection. If you have a condition that puts you at high risk for developing a severe infection, you may need to take antibiotics before and after the extraction.It is normal to feel some pain after the anesthesia wears off. For 24 hours after having a tooth pulled, you should also expect some swelling and residual bleeding. However, if either bleeding or pain is still severe more than four hours after your tooth is pulled, you should call your dentist.in your case i think tooth socket is healing. it ll take around 4 weeks to heal completely but if you feel that its still draining you should consult a dentist.hope this ans helpsRegardsDr. Shesh | |
Could the lump on butt cheek be due to cellulitis?
I have a very large hard and painful lump on my right butt cheek, I've seen a doctor at an urgent care facility and she diagnosed it as cellulitis, but it hasn't formed a head yet, I'm taking my antibiotics but it doesn't seem to be doing anything. Are there any other diagnosis that this could be related too? | Hi,The infection may not develop into an abscess with a head. I suggest you continue to take the full course of antibiotics. If the infection has not cleared up then this may indicate that the infection is causing a deep abscess. This would possibly need surgical drainage. Regards,Dr K A Pottinger | |

How can severe pain after a root canal treatment be treated?
Hi. I had a root canal done today (the first part anyway). On Monday I started a Z-pak for the infection and have been taking Acetaminophen/Cod #3 and aspirin since Monday also. Today after the drilling and packing of the tooth (a crown)...I picked up a prescription for Hydrocodone/Aminophen 7.5-325 T. I am taking 1 Hydro every 6 hours but I also have to take something with it. It's not enough. Which other pain killer should I take? Aspirin, tylenol 3, or naproxen? | Hello,Taking Hydrocodone-Acetaminophen combination is sufficient for controlling pain during the root canal treatment procedure. You need not take anything else if it is not causing pain. Also, I need to inform you that after second sitting, the pain should normally subside by now.

But, if there is a pain, you can consult your dentist and can switch to Ketorolac, Tramadol etcetera. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.Regards,Dr. Honey Arora | |

For long term control of depression following measures are helpful: relaxation exercise, medicines like SSRIs and non drug treatment like CBT. Same time do some relaxation exercise like daily brisk walk, yoga and breathing exercise, which will help you in rapid recovery. Wish you all the best.

Child has hydrourethranephrosis. Body feels hot. Need for worry?
My son is 5 years old. He was diagnosed with kidney disease (hydrourethranephrosis) in 2012. His doctors say that his kidneys have permanent damage but are functioning 100% now. In April they were only functioning 29% when we first found out about this. The only problem now is that he still has alot of muscle around his bladder from where it was retaining urine for so long and I dont know if he can feel when he needs to urinate. But my question is his body always feels hot and he always complains of being hot. He has to sleep without a shirt and often takes his shirt off at home. He hasnt had a fever though that i know of. Do you think this is something i should be worried about? | You need to consult your doctor again to find out the cause of hydroureteronephrosis. Such problems before 6 years of age can cause severe kidney damage. If there is any physical block around the bladder surely he needs a surgery. Feeling hot is not a problem till the thermometer reads normal temperature. | |

Urinary issues also occur due to constipation and dyssynergia. Use Docusate sodium 200 mg twice daily. It is a good stool softener, and you can use it for a long time. | |
Increasing breast size, tender nipples, frequent urination, fatigue. On mirena, partner had vasectomy. Possibility of pregnancy?
What are the chances of getting pregnant when using mirena and after husband had vasectomy? My husband is the ONLY man that I am with! so I don't understand why I am my breast are getting bigger, nipples are tender, feeling sick, peeing a lot, tired and the list goes on. All the signs point to pregnancy but I don’t see how that could happen. | Hello, I would be happy to help you with your question. If you have a Mirena IUD in place AND your husband has had a vasectomy, then your chances of getting pregnant with your husband is almost certainly close to zero. It is INCREDIBLY unlikely. Nothing is 100%, but this is pretty close to complete protection. If you think that you are pregnant, then you need to check a pregnancy test. If the test is negative, then these are likely cycle related symptoms Thank you and good luck! | |

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 --> | |
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. For further follow up consult a general practitioner online.---> | |

Q. Can back injury cause pain in head and neck?
Hello doctor, I have been suffering from headaches and pains in my head and neck for almost two months now. I originally thought it all came from a back injury that caused a lot of anxiety as I have an anxiety disorder. I was even treated for a sinus infection because it has been so long since the headaches started. I am looking to see how I should go about treating this and if it is something I should be worried about. | Hello. I understand that you had a back injury, which you feel has been causing headache and neck pain. I agree with you, a back injury can lead to neck pains, which can give a feeling of a referred headache. The best way to fix this would be to see an orthopedic specialist. They will then examine you and if necessary, run tests to see if indeed the back injury is the cause of your headache. Coming to the question, could this headache and neck pain be caused by a problem in your eye, again I would say it is possible. But you would definitely be experiencing eye-related symptoms like eye redness, watering, pain, blurred vision, etc. A headache or neck pain caused due to an eye problem with no eye-related symptoms is quite a rare scenario. In my opinion, the best way to treat this headache is to find its cause which would mean seeing the orthopedic, ENT or ophthalmologist. The most common cause of headache in the patients who come to see me in my clinic is sinus disease. | |

What causes high fever in a child?
My son is 2 1/2 years old. He had a high fever for 3 days, highest being 103.3. No other symptoms. I took him to the doctor and she said probably a virus. Since he s been sick his temp drops down to 96.3 at night and he is sweating. He feels cold. He has on long sleeve pajamas a sheet and comforter and the house is 72 degrees. This seems strange to me. Is this okay or do I need to have him looked at again? | Hi, I would like to know few details. Is the fever associated with cough, cold? Is there loose motion or vomiting? Is there cry during passing urine? If there are no symptoms then it is fever without focus. We may need to investigate the child to find the focus of the fever if the child is sick looking and toxic. If the child is playful we can wait for 48-72 hours for the fever to subside and can use antipyretic and tepid sponging as needed. | |

What could be reason for a dialated duct even after gollbladder removal and endoscopic procedure to remove obstructed stone. | Hi there,Thanks for posting in HCM.The most likely cause is stricture of the common bile duct.

This can occur when there is scarring of the bile duct due to infection or injury.Treatment consist of dilatation and placing a stent which has been done in her case.Regards. | |
Asthma in children.
Sir! My son is sufferring from children asthama. he is 4 1/2 yrs old He is always affected with cold, cough whezzing, and fever. But from two months he always gets cold and fever. i want to know whether is immunie system is improving or pls suggest me to give him good food | While it is possible for infants and toddlers to have asthma, it may be difficult for your doctor to diagnose because tests aren't accurate before 6 years of age and most of the children over come this asthma like symptoms by age of 4 to 6 years.Some foods have also been found to help protect against asthma and improve lung function.Research has shown that people who eat the most fruit and vegetables along with grains and cereals had a healthy lung function. Make him drink plenty of water as well.Vitamin C and E are also believed to help reduce the severity of asthma. A diet that includes a high level of nutrients can also boost the immune system and help ward off colds and flu ? both common asthma triggers. With regard to the specific tests for lung function improvement/immune system improvement, the tests will be expensive and are not required since the general well being will be sufficient to tell if the immune system is doing well.

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 --> | |

What causes the child prefer water than milk?
hi, doctor, my baby's nearly 4 months old, in the past one week, she takes less milk, and i tried to give her a bit water as the weather is too hot. i am afraid she might lose too much water from sweating. it seems she prefer water more than the milk. | Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns.Giving any feed other than milk ( preferably breast milk ) is not recommended at age of four months . More than 85 percentage of breast milk is water only , so giving additional water will deprive your baby of required energy and nutrients. Water in milk will take care of fluid requirement and it will not lead to dehydration. Hope this answers your question.

Q. What can be done to reduce chest and abdominal pain due to stomach ulcer?
Hi doctor, I am 29 years old male. I have chest pain, abdominal pain from the last two months. Recently, I visited a gastroenterologist. He tested endoscopy, RUT and vitamin D. I have a small ulcer in the stomach, RUT test is also positive because of H.Pylori bacterial infection and vitamin D is below 10. I am using antibiotics from 10 days but chest pain was not controlled. I have taken ECG also, it is normal. Please suggest me how to reduce pain in my chest. | Hello. An elaborate description of your chest pain would have helped much, but as you reported your ECG is fine. I do not think it is related to any cardiac cause. If the chest pain develops after some physical activity you must get yourself a TMT (treadmill test) done to rule out angina. As you told that you have got an upper GI endoscopy with rapid urease test done and an ulcer was found on UGIE. You must be on triple drug H.Pylori eradication therapy the duration of which is about 10 to 14 days. So do not worry, first finish off your HP kit. Your gastroenterologist will call you for a review endoscopy after four weeks to look out for ulcer healing. before that stop PPI (proton pump inhibitor) for at least seven days. and get a stool antigen for H.Pylori done or any other test to confirm eradication of H.Pylori. You can try the following lifestyle modifications. (Although they are of benefit in GERD only). Keep a few pillows while sleeping, to elevate your head end. Sleep on left-lateral position. Try reducing weight if you are overweight. Do regular exercise for about 30 to 45 minutes per day for at least five days a week. The following are of unproven benefit: Eat small evening meals, and avoid sleeping just after a heavy meal. Do not eat heavy late night. Reduce your tea or coffee intake. If it is pain due to GERD it will be reduced by the above measures. An ulcer pain, usually responds to the PPI therapy. Give some time for treatment to respond. | |
What causes bruised cheekbone with no sinus problem or cold?
Hi, just about an inch away from my ear in one particular point my cheekbone. Feels badly bruised. I only feel it when I press down. The other side is fine. I have no sinus problems, colds. I had a wisdom tooth out a couple of weeks ago but that was the opposite side of my face and I had the soreness in my cheekbone before the tooth problem,,, do you know what this could be??? Thank you very Much Teresa | Hi, What you are trying to describe is tenderness and not bruise. Tthere could be anything ranging from trauma to neuritis responsible for pain over the cheekbone. Sleeping over one side only on hard pillow might be a cause too. You need to do warm fomentation along with local application of diclofenac gel over the site with light hands. Avoid pressing over the tender part and sleeping over that side. If pain not relieved in a week or two you need to get an C-ray along with blood investigations done to rule out other possibilities. Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further. Regards, Dr. Rohan Shanker Tiwari, Orthopedic Surgeon | |

My husband has only one dead sperm and LOW FSH
My husband had a semen sample taken and it showed that he had only one sperm and it was dead and deformed. The Urologist said that there was nothing wrong with him other than very, very low FSH at 0.5 when it should be around 5-15. Could this be what is causing his lack of sperm production?
