Moreover, herpes simplex ulcers occur as blisters which are grouped and filled with fluid. These blisters heal without scarring. I do no...

Every since I had my son (eight years ago) I have experienced off and on Numbness on the left side of my second toe on my left foot. Could the epidural I had be the cause to this? If not, what could the cause be. It is something that comes and goes - could I have a pinched nerve somewhere?
Hello. I just read through your question. Numbness and tingling can be due to either a neurologic issue, such as a pinched nerve, or a blood circulation issue. The causes are numerous. Because the area involved is so small, it is not something to be overly concerned about. However, it is important to discuss this with...
I have a very large growth on one side of my rib cage and a smaller one on the opposite side. One doctor believes that it is a lipoma and another doctor thinks that the muscles split after delivering three close to nine pound babies.

Hello, I have a certain question regarding the swelling. Has it increased its size? Is there any similar swelling? And as you have said nothing was concluded from CT and USG. A big probability is it might be a LIPOMA itself. Which is a benign swelling and can be removed with a simple surgery. TO CONCLUDE

Hello! Thank you for the query. First you need to know that as you are on antibiotics right now, any inflammatory disease in the abdomen can give fewer symptoms than usually.

Hi, Thanks for asking on Chat Doctor. 12-15 pus cells in urine are considered to be mildly elevated. Severe cases come with >100 pus cells/HP too. Sometimes we report such a high number as too numerous to count. The protocol says to give a urine culture right away and start the antibiotic after that. Once the culture r...

Hallow Dear, Yes, theoretically, the regular menstrual cycle is defined in the books as a cycle of 28 days with variation of 7 days on either side; so the span is between 21 and 35 days. Any cycle beyond these limits is defined in the text books as irregular cycle. One day beyond the text book definition may not be a h...
My son has scoliosis (thoracic) and arthritis. He is 28 years old. I wonder why the curvature was not noticed when he was younger because he participated in a lot of sports. However, he is now wondering if accupuncture will work? He is no longer on pain medications, as he does not like the way they made him feel.
Hello, Acupuncture is a symptomatic therapy and will reduce pain for some time. Here the major issue is with the curvature of the spine which is lateral in nature and leading to scoliosis. Due to scoliosis, there will be nerve root entrapment and muscle spasms. I will advise doing exercise for stretching and strengthe...

Hi, For months every morning when I wake up I feel sore and my back really bothers me. It lessens when I get up and around. It really feels like my muscles are sore and I ve been working out. I awaken off and on all night. Why would my muscles be sore?

Some physiotherapy and back strengthening exercises would help. However, removal of the cause is the most important. Also, if...

i had a reaction to eating an oyster. the symptoms were tightening throat, severe anxiety and feeling extremely cold. it took about an hour for the severe symptoms to relax. 12 hours later i still feel mildly unwell, any advice on medicines, anti histamines for example
Hello, It is probable that you are allergic to Oyster. Your symptoms were related to bronchospasm (narrowing of airways) and in severe cases it can be dangerous. I think you should not take oyster in the future. Other seafoods like shrimps also may produce symptoms and so be careful. If you do not have any wheezing or ...
if the stool pathogen Enterobacter cloacae can grow on my toothbrush, why am I not getting sick? If I bite the side of my cheek and then i am brushing my teeth with this bacteria-laden toothbrush, why is this bacteria not infecting me, yet it is cause for such serious infections in hospitals?
Hi, Thank you for your query. I can understand your concerns. Enterobacter cloacae is a member of the normal gut flora of many humans and is not usually a primary pathogen. In other words, it is a communal or friendly organism having a symbiotic relationship in which one organism derives benefit while causing little or...
