hello sir my query is i am having a baby girl , her weight is 8.8 kg and her birth weight was 3.2 and she is 1 year old now. I am giving her 5 times a meal which are healthy but still she s not gaining wt but she is active and one thing that always make me worry that she do potty 4 times a day . is this the reason that she is not gaining weight and how can i improve on this.
|
In the first place, you are absolutely incorrect in assuming that your child is not gaining weight. She is absolutely fine, as far as I can judge. While it is mentioned in books that child Chat Doctor. It also depends on the genes she has inherited. For example, either you or your spouse may have been like this at 1 year of age! And the child is following in your/their footsteps! Doing 4 stools every day is normal for her, so don't worry about this. A change in stool pattern is abnormal. Otherwise, every child has a different routine for stooling.

Hi, I stopped dipping snuff roughly a month ago, after 9 months of doing so. I now have tightness in the jaws(maybe due to tension, just started working 3rd shift as well) pressure in my face, as well as a burning in my lower lip on the inside on the right side. I do have recessed gums in that area. I have no lesions or spots in the mouth or tongue. Everything looks normal. I went to the dentist 3 weeks ago, who said everything looks ok. Any ideas? One issue? Multiple issues?
|
Hi, Thanks for asking the query, A complete physical evaluation is required to be based upon which treatment will be decided. As it appears to be normal I would suggest you to take-lukewarm saline rinses 3-4 times a day.-take multivitamin supplements.-take antiseptic mouthwash rinses.-quit the habit completely forever. If the symptoms still persists visit to an Oral Surgeon and get the checkup done. Hope you find this as helpful, Regards....

I just had my teeth pulled and am wearing temporary dentures. My teeth were pulled on 10/25. I was given chlorhexidine gluconate oral rinse. I have been out of that medication for a week. My tongue turned a chocolate milk color during using the rinse. Now that I havent used it for a week, my tongue is still turning that color. Infection or side effect?
|
Hello, Yes. It is one of the side of chlorhexidine gluconate mouth wash. It is not due to infection. Some other usual side effects.1. Tooth/tongue staining 2. Increased tartar3. Mouth/throat irritation4. Change in taste of food/ Chat Doctor. 1. To decrease staining of teeth and mouth surfaces, brush with toothpaste 3 times daily, brushing more on the stained areas2. Use of a \"tartar control\" toothpaste and electric toothbrush may be more effective.3. To decrease the effect on how food tastes, eat first, followed by tooth brushing and then chlorhexidine rinse.4. See your dentist at least every 6 months for tooth cleaning/tartar removal.5. Staining from this medication that may occur on dental work (such as crowns or veneers) usually can only be removed by a dentist/hygienist. Wishing you good health.

Degree understand your concerns. I went through your details. I suggest you to keep calm. Mental disorders are of two types. Some strictly requires medicines and the other do not need medicines. The first category needs medicines along with psychotherapy and rehabilitation therapies. Second type needs psychotherapy and other psychology techniques and exercises. You mentioned that treatment is not effective. To get proper treatment and cure, proper diagnosis is needed. I do not know any other details about the mental disorder which you're mentioning here. I am from Ottapalam, Alaska. You can post a direct query for me giving all the details. After knowing all the details, I shall provide you the right treatment guidelines. In case if you need more of my services in this regard, please post a direct query. I am happy to reply you. Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications. Good luck.

Hi,I am JayaNaresh.My grand fa having nearly 70 yrs.He is suffering from fileria since 25 yrs.Frequently he is getting fever because of fileria.This problem is very civier since 5 yrs.Its releasing serum(like water and getting bad smell) from the effected area and its also swelling.The effected area is right leg below the knee.Please let me know the solution for this problem.
|
Hello Jay Naresh, I understand your grandfathers' problem. He has swelling of the legs from the blockage of his lymph vessels and this can lead to oozing of lymph if there is any scratch or abrasion. This problem is produced by the dead worms in his lymphatic system especially in the lymph nodes. His fever can be due to two reasons. If he has an infection of his leg or if he has microfibril in the blood. A night blood sample examined for micrfilaria may show it if it is present, and then it should be treated with the medicine Diethylcarbamazine (Betrayal). If there is infection of the leg abrasion or ulceration he would require local and systemic antibiotics. The important way to avoid infection is to keep the legs clean and take care that he walks around only with protective footwear and to wash the legs every day with water and mild disinfectant.Also, please check whether he suffers from diabetes which will increase his chance of infection. If he is in good health surgical removal of the swelling can also be considered, for which you can consult a surgeon. If you have further queries, I am ready to answer them. Best wishes,

Hello, What you describe abnormalities of the brain. Those findings only describe the undeveloped parts of the brain, but they do not provide a cause, an origin to be treated. These underdeveloped areas are probably that way since your daughter was born, due to a genetic abnormality, or damage from low oxygen or infections. I am afraid that usually, this type of damage is irreversible, there is no treatment apart from supportive one. Of course, I don't know all the particulars of the case, you don't mention even her age, but generally speaking there is little that can usually be done for this type of damage, unfortunately. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Chat Doctor.

There can be a variety of causes for memory problems like dementia, other amnesic syn Chat Doctor. And so, it is important that you have a proper assessment to determine the correct cause.

HelloThanks for your query, based on the facts that you have posted it appears that you have V Chat Doctor. This is most likely to be due to incomplete treatment with penicillin. One needs to take Long acting Penicillin (Endure LA) twice a week for 3-4 months to eradicate infection completely. Please get swab tests of fluid from ulcer done to rule out any other form of STD like Chlamydia, Herpes etc.

Hi! My 5 year old niece has viral and bacterial pneumonia. She has been in the hospital since Thursday. Her oxygen levels are only reaching 90% with the help of an oxygen mask. They are transferring her to Northwestern Childrens Hospital this evening. Is this normal for her oxygen levels to be that low for this long and are there any long term effects? Thank you for any information you have.
|
Hi.noted history of low oxygen saturation. It is best if you bring your daughter to the nearest ER or for pediatric consultation. Her low oxygen may be due to her existing infection but if the saturation is persistently low, she needs physical examination and clinical evaluation by a pediatrician. Oxygen supplement through a nasal cannula or a face mask may temporarily be given. Chest X-ray, other diagnostics and management will be directed accordingly. Hope this helps. Good day!!~ Chat Doctor.

|
Welcome to Chat Doctor I have gone through your query and understand your concern. There are two possibilities. One is acute disc prolapse and another is muscular pain. These can be resolved by MRI of lumbar spine which shows disc prolapse. Treatment of both the conditions is similar i.e. rest and analgesic, but acute disc prolapse takes more time to relief then muscular pain. You can discuss with your doctor about it. Hope your query get answered. If you have any clarification then don't hesitate to write to us. I will be happy to help you. Wishing you a good health. Take care.

|
Hello, This looks like a ligament injury. An MRI is requested. For now, stabilize the knee in cr\u00eape bandage or knee brace. Do icing to reduce the pain. Get the MRI done. Post knowing the status of the ligament injury the exercises will be advised. Exercise will include - core stability, hip muscle strengthening, static hamstring, static Qua Chat Doctor. Post regaining the pain-free movements of the knee, balance board training will be good to achieve maximum outcome score of the knee joint. Hope I have answered your query.

A few months ago in college, I noticed that there was a small bump above my ear that was hurting. Thinking it was a zit or pimple, I applied a warm wash cloth over the span of a couple days. It was swelling less and it didn t hurt, so I thought nothing of it. A few weeks later, I checked and it was still there, but causing no pain. The small bump is still there, above my ear right about where my glasses rest. Should I go see a doctor as soon as possible?
|
Hi, dear. I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You may have some benign cystic lesion like gelatinous cyst. You should go for examination and excision of lump if required. However, it is not an urgent or emergency condition. You can consult your doctor at your ease. Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Wish you a very good health. Don't forget to click, thank you.

Degree understand your concerns went through your details. The given symptoms correspond to schizophrenia. It also seems from her murmuring, the type is general schizophrenia. You should also keep it in mind that your sister is definitely having hallucinations and delusions along with racing thoughts. Racing thoughts are evident from her murmuring. For people living with schizophrenia both positive and negative symptoms can be very disruptive to their lives. Schizophrenia is generally manageable. I suggest you to work with her psychiatrist for better management. If you require more of my help in this aspect, please use this URL. http

Hello, I have had triple by pass surgery. I go yearly to the cardiologist for a check up. This year he told me that my heart was skipping a beat but nothing to really worry about. I did not think to ask him about my breathing problem and if it might be related. For a year or so now when I am relaxed watching TV and not moving around I will find myself all of a sudden gasp for air. It is kinda like I forget to breath and then I gasp for air. Could the two be related.Thank you
|
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Yes, these two events might be related to each other. CABG (Coronary artery bypass grafting) patients are at increased risk of arrhythmia (rhythm disturbances in heart). So your skipped beats are likely due to arrhythmia. Some arrhythmia can also cause sudden gasp of breathing. And this is considered as serious event. So in my opinion, you should consult your cardiologist again and discuss this event. You will need repeat ECG, 2d echo and Holder monitoring (24 hours continuous recording of ECG). On the basis of these reports, suitable anti arrhythmia Chat Doctor. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.

My father has just commenced treatment for spinal TB , ATK 4 has been prescribed. He has been suffering from body pain for over a year and now after two MRIs that show degeneration of D7&8 vertibre, they are treating him for spinal TB. The treatment commenced 8 days ago but the body pain has increased significantly, so much so that he is finding it very difficult to move about. My questions
|
Hi. Spinal tuberculosis is treated for at least 1.5-2 years with anti-tuberculous medications. It takes a long time to heal and for the pain to subside. Bed rest is recommended at least for the initial few months. AKT4 usually does not cause body pains unless there is some side effect like hepatitis and loss of appetite associated with this. By the way, I'm not really convinced based on the MRI report that he has tuberculosis of the spine, because degeneration is a very normal physiologic phenomenon at his age. I guess you need to take another opinion from a good doctor for the same. Thank you.

I have had chest pains for about a month, my halter mon. was ok, Im waiting to hear back about my chest x-ray.However yesterday morning I had a different SHARP chest pain that only lasted for a second, and was followed by about 1-2 min of sweating like I had just run a mile. I am also currently experiencing tingling pains in my legs, feet, wrists, and arms on and off all day today.
|
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Sudden onset sharp chest pain, sweating and tingling in arms are commonly seen with heart diseases like coronary artery disease (CAD). Holder monitoring (24 hours continuous recording of ECG) is for arrhythmia (rhythm disturbances in heart). CAD can not be picked up by this. So despite normal Holder report, you should definitely get done 2d echo and stress test (trade mill test) and coronary angiography (if required). If all these are normal then no need to worry about heart diseases. Sometimes stress and anxiety can also cause similar symptoms. So avoid stress and tension, be relaxed and calm. Don't worry, you will be alright. But better to first rule out CAD. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.

I recently had a glucose intolerance test at my neurologist , who claims to know little about hyopkelemic perodic paralysis . After the 3 hour test, I went into a full episode of paralysis lasting 5 hours in his office. I did have a low potassium level the last time they cheched my blood (4), although he says it is not low enought to diagnose me. I am now 53, and have with years of frustration thinking I was not able to walk because I had fibromyalgia for 25 year. My family can trace back episode from when I was a young child. My brother has symptoms and also my son. I simple do not know where to look for help in the Memphis, TN area. I have been working to find answers for 4 years as I get shuffled around so that the Drs may make their 20 patient a day goal. I have had some results with a caring ENT that will not perform sinus surgery on me until I am under a Dr s care. He said surgery for me could be life threading at this point. Any guidance in the mid south or mid west for an appropriate Dr would be appreciated

Hi, Based on details you have hypokalemic periodic paralysis with positive family history. This indicates primary hypokalemic periodic paralysis (gene defect for channels located at skeletal muscle) rather than secondary causes. Still you need detail evaluation like calcium, magnesium levels in blood, thyroid profile and Arterial blood gases and assessment of kidney function in addition to serum potassium. You require specific tests like CPK and EMG alsoHypokalemc paralysis worsens with high carboy Chat Doctor. Yes you can go ahead for surgery after correction of potassium, and you may require acetazolamide also. Discuss with treating neurologist regarding aforementioned pal. I hope this will help regards

Hi I have noticed a rash like coming up under my chest about a week ago. I looked it up and it seems like a yeast infection. Now its all over my chest its scarring me. I ve tried just about everything.I have insurance but the co pay is too high. Please help.

Hi, thanks for using Chat Doctor Fungal rashes can take a few weeks to respond to medication. You can consider continuing the use of the topical antifungal but if the rash is extensive and spreading an oral antifungal may be needed. The oral antifungal would require a prescription from your doctor. Examples of topical antifungals are ketoconazole, fluconazole, econazoleThe short term use of a topical steroid may reduce any itching that may be present. I hope this helps

Hello, In above clinical presentation, there is high chance of being pregnant. Therefore, I suggest you to undergo a blood test for beta Chat Doctor & USG lower abdomen to confirm intrauterine pregnancy as pinkish spotting around due date may indicate implantation bleeding. Sometimes, early pregnancy test may give negative result. In exclusion of pregnancy, you may need to do some investigations to rule out other pathology like thyroid profile & other hormone assay etc. Consult with your doctor and take suggestive measures. Avoid stress / anxiety, take healthy diet with iron supplements, take adequate bed rest and maintain genital hygiene properly. If you need further consultation with me, then you can visit http

How fast does the blood move while the heart beats (Peak systolic-PS)? 65 cm/s in the common carotid artery. The artery branches into an internal to the brain and external to the face. That are ICA and ECA. The 1.29 is a ratio. All the numbers are quite reassuring. When the arteries narrow, the velocities go up. Systolic over 350 and diastolic over about 85 are high. The flow in all the arteries should be forward, ante grade.

Hello, After going through your medical query I understand your concern and would like to tell you that generally, your Blood pressure should be under 140/90.

Degree understand your concerns are not the only person who complains about memory and time management. We all are like that. Hard-pressed for time and therefore hurry and struggle and therefore forgets so many things and complains that we have some memory problem. We forget so many things when we are busy. This happens even in childhood and adolescent and adulthood. Just try to remember. We did not worry then. Why worry now? Because we are afraid? Natural. Just learn relaxation and time management technique from a psychologist. I can help you if you give all the details through \"Ask a specialist\" link of this website. Wish you speedy recovery.

Recent gb ultrasound report states that my liver demonstrates a diffuse increase in echo texture (prior result was moderate increase in echo geniality). The extra hepatic common duct measures 3 mm in diameter (prior was 5 mm). The right kidney measures 10.1 cm (prior
|
Hi there, I often get referrals for ultrasound findings seen in relation to liver and gallbladder issues. The diffuse increase in echo texture means that you have a bit of a fatty liver, which in itself can be normal due to aging. This can lead to NASH (nonalcoholic steatohepatoses), which is a fancy way of saying you have fat that is damaging your liver. This isn't necessarily reversible, but you can limit the amount of damage that is done to your liver by limiting your alcohol intake, and staying away from fatty foods. Your hepatic ducts are within normal size, and the range can be anywhere from 2\u00a0mm to 7\u00a0mm, depending on your age and liver function. I wouldn't worry about this. Your right kidney seems fine and again, no cause for concern. Overall, you have hepatic stenosis which means fatty liver. Stay away from fatty foods, alcohol, and limit your Tylenol intake to no more than 2 grams per day (and only if you absolutely need it). I'd also recommend you get a repeat liver ultrasound in 6 months to a year, as well as have your liver enzymes checked. I hope I have answered your questions. Please feel free to contact me if you have any further questions or if you feel I haven't ad Chat Doctor.

Degree understand your concerns went through your details. Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder is part of many other problems like autism, Asperger and Learning Disabilities. If the present ADHD complaint is with some other disabilities as I mentioned, the treatment is symptomatic. Your psychiatrist will be able to provide more guidelines.

Hi, Dear,Thanks for the query to Chat Doctor. I studied your problem in depth and I understood your concerns. Causes-In my opinion your lump on the shoulder -may be of hematomas of vascular origin/ malformations / Angoras/ A-V malformation. MRI would fix the causal diagnosis. But excision biopsy operation would fix its treatment and HPR would fix its cause. So consult your doctor and don't worry. So don't build up wrong concepts and create more psychic complications in you which would increase risks and costs to you, but just ask a query to Chat Doctor and be comfortable to resolve your health issues. Welcome for any more query in this regard to Chat Doctor. Write good resume and Click thanks if you feel satisfied with my advice. Have a Good Day. Chat Doctor. N.

HelloWelcome to Chat Doctor. At 6 months, average weight of baby is around between 7 and 10 kg. So it's not overweight. Now start giving him your family food gradually with breastfeeding. Start with liquid and semisolid foods. Give him very small frequent meals.

Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor. Hospital associated pneumonia is one of the leading causes of morbidity in hospital ICUs. The seriousness of his illness depends on the predisposing factors like COPD and bronchitis and within how many days did the pneumonia develop. Early onset pneumonia have a better prognosis.

I have a lumg on the top of my wrist which appeared several weeks ago. My doctor did an x ray which was non conclusive, and has ordered an MRI. The lump is just under the skin and on the \"pinky\" side of my wrist. It is slightly tender to the touch. I am quite nervous about the possiblities. Could this be cancer?
|
Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You may have some soft tissue tumor like lipoma, neurofibroma or dermatofibroma. You should go for fine needle aspiration cytology or biopsy of that lump. It will give you exact diagnosis. Then you should take treatment accordingly. Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Wish you a very good health.

I have had breathing problems come up in the past month & 1/2 when doing much walking & small things. I have shortness of breath where I have to breath through my mouth to get enough air. I went to a heart Dr. & he said all sounds good then he had me go to a lung Dr. that now wants to have me do a sleep test. I only had about 5 of the sleep questions in minimal & that s only because I have a bad hip that wakes me up at night. I told her this but she still wants the sleep study. I want a second opinion, am I wrong ?
|
Hi, In my opinion, you should not get done sleep study first. Better to first rule out lung related pathologies for your symptoms. So consult pulmonologist and get done clinical examination of the respiratory system and PFT (Pulmonary Function Test). PFT will not only diagnose bronchitis, but it will also tell you about the severity of the disease and treatment is based on severity only. You may need inhaled bronchodilators (formoterol or albuterol) and inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) (budesonide or fluticasone). Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Hi, Thanks for asking the query, According to your history there could be a chance of fracture of the mandible, mobility, tenderness over the TMJ, disturbance of occlusion or a dentoalveolar fracture. I would suggest you to visit to an Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon and get a checkup done take an OPG Radiograph, fractures in the mouth can be treated with intramural fixations and wiring. Strat with tab Amoxiclav 625\u00a0mg twice and tab Aerosol twice for 3-5 days. Take semisolid diet which is easy to chew, liquid juices, soup.

Hi, I had a gastric sleeve done on may 13th. I did well with surgery but had a problem with pain upon standing or walking. The pain seemed to be muscle pain, but in the past two days has turned into a burning sensation almost like it s the skin. Any clue what it could be?
|
HI. The laparoscopic wounds although small are done through small incisions through the abdominal wall. When the trocar with cannula goes through the wall it can open up few blood vessels to cause an obscure hematoma which is not seen or felt due to obesity for which you are getting the surgery done, so it is missed and can cause the pain. Secondly this can be due to cut / partially cut nerves cause the similar pain which you described, the burning... one.

I had unprotected sex and after 14 hour i have taken unwanted 72 pill. And after taking unwanted 72 pill i again had unprotected sex after 30 hour from taking this pill.. This time sex was done after taking pill.Am i safe now??..do i get pregnent as pill was taken before unprotected sex???Is this pill work if taken before sex??? Do i need to again take this unwanted 72 pill.
|
Hello dear. Understand your concerns. You are not safe. Unwanted 72 taken before the sex does not give protection against the intercourse done after taken pill. Unwanted 72 prevent the pregnancy if you have take with in 72 hours of the sex. If you did SES in the unsafe period of the cycle (10th to 20th day of cycle) then take another unwanted 72 pills to event the pregnancy. But chance of the side effects like menstrual irregularity, hormonal imbalance is high. Use barrier method of contraception in future to prevent the pregnancy. Avoid stress, take healthy diet and Chat Doctor. I hope this will help you. Thanks

My partner is very sick, he was outside in the snow 2 days ago, and now he has a mild fever, but his body is cold, has a bad cough, sharp chest pains, dizzy and nausea, his teeth and gums are tingling as well. hot and cold flashes, shivering, looks very pale and ill. What should I do?
|
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. In my opinion, you should definitely take him to hospital to rule out pneumonia. Lung infection (pneumonia) is very common in cold, snowing environment. His symptoms are more suggestive of pneumonia. So better to consult pulmonologist and get done clinical examination of respiratory system and chest x-ray. He may need higher antibiotics and other supportive treatment. Don't worry, he will be alright. Just take him to hospital. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your boyfriend. Thanks.

Hi, I was diagnosed with sarcodosis over a year ago by one doctor but wasn t satisfied with my treatment so i switched doctors and was told i didn t have sarcodosis after getting MRI, PET SCAN, CAT SCAN. What else can it be, i was reading up on other causes (asbestosis or mold) how could i find out. I have worked in restaurants and fuel stop.

Hello, I understand your concern. I am Chat Doctor, infectious disease specialist, answering your concern. It is highly unlikely that you are having asbestos is. Asbestosis occurs on the persons who constantly exposes to the asbestos or working in asbestos company.HRC, is the best diagnostic tool that can diagnose the acidosis and asbestos is. As you are working in the restaurant and fuel shop it is unlikely that you have asbestos is.

So I have been having irregular periods for quite awhile now. My last period was December 8th of 2010. I had unprotected sex with my boyfriend December 23, 24, 25, 26, 30th and early morning on the 31st. I haven t started yet. I have never been this late. So I waited to see if I would start. I got some money and went to Wal-Mart and got 2 clearblue pregnancy tests. I took one January the 14th and one January the 15th. They both said positive. I have been having symptoms of pregnancy like my boobs are hurting, I feel sick at times, etc. I want to know that the chances are that I am actually pregnant. Am I or is it something else? I am about to turn 20, I have a 2 year old daughter who turns 3 March 11th and I am engaged to the father of this one (if Im pregnant) whom is in the Air Force
|
Well Honey, you are pregnant! Home pregnancy tests are highly sensitive and become positive one week before the expected period (25-50 mid). Your question was submitted in 2010. It is now Dec 2015, so by now if everything was right you should have a kid about 4 years old beside you. Good luck! One of the main causes of menstrual irregularities is Polycystic ovaries, a condition in which the is variable ovulation dysfunction.

I am 18. Ive been having sever chest pain on both sides under my breasts off and on for quite a while. sometimes the pain spreads all the way to my back. I have also been getting drowsy more frequently with body aches. I do go to a chiropractor, it helps with the back pain a little but the body aches and chest pains keep getting worse...
|
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Bilateral chest pain spreading towards back is more likely due to musculoskeletal pain. But better to get done ECG and chest x-ray to rule out heart and lung diseases. If ECG and chest x-ray are normal then no need to worry about major diseases. Avoid movements causing pain. Avoid heavyweight lifting and strenuous exercise. Apply warm water pad on affected areas. Take simple painkiller like paracetamol or ibuprofen.Don't worry, you will be alright with all these. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.

I occasionally get a fluttering feeling in my lower abdomen. It mimics the feeling of early fetal movement, even the location is similar. However, I am not pregnant. I am not having any other digestive issues. Just wondering what this might be? thank you
|
Hi. Thanks for your query. Since you have mentioned this as a typical fetal movement and in the same position, that you are so much certain of, and since you do not have any digestive issues as you have specifically mentioned, this can be taken as a case of Pseudocyesis. In Pseudocyesis the re is no actual pregnancy, but the patient gets all the signs and symptoms of being pregnant. I would advise you the following

I have yet been approved for instance. Im 7weeks pregnant, I have b- blood and crohns. For the last three days I ve been vomiting yellow and this morning I started vomiting orange. It hurts to stand up. My back and stomach are sore. What would you say I should do.?
|
Hello, and I hope I can help you today. Nausea and vomiting are common in early pregnancy, and an orange to ensure vomit may indicate blood. The fact that you have Crohn's disease and Rh negative blood is not really relevant at this point in pregnancy however if you cannot hold down food and are becoming deny Chat Doctor. Your best bet if you do not yet have health insurance is to go to a local emergency room and see a doctor there to make sure that you are okay, and they can possibly prescribe some antinausea medicine for you to take. If you cannot hold down any solids or liquids during this period it is also important that you seek emergency care, because you may be very deny

My name Shefali Begum, age 38 yrs hight 152 cm, wt 45 kg,Dhaka, Bangladesh, last 17 september11 my throat left side sawlen, FNAC test & doctor dected papillery thyroid carconoma, so, this week I shall go to thakurpukur cancer hospital, I need some ENT specialist profile, Now what do I ? please help me
|
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your situation and problem. Papillary thyroid cancer has good prognosis if not spread in distal organs. So first step in the management is to decide stage of the papillary thyroid cancer. So you will require PET scan first to know about distal organ metastasis. If distal organ metastases are present than it is known as stage 4 cancer. In this surgery is not done. Only palliative chemotherapy and radiotherapy is given. These patients carry poor prognosis. But if distal metastases are absent then surgical excision of tumor is treatment of choice with post-operative chemotherapy and radiotherapy should be given. These patients carry good prognosis.

i had ingunial hernia so i underwent a laproscopic surgery with mess repair. for 3 weeks i did complete rest.in 4 th week i had sex twice.so now i have some pain in lower abdomin and my testis are upwards close to body than before.so is my hernia back or its some other problem ??
|
Hi, You have recently undergone surgery for hernia repair, and you are getting pain in the lower abdomen after sex. Since, there is still inflammation in inguinal region at the site of surgery, it is normal and natural to get pain in lower abdomen. Take anti-inflammatory medication like Diclofenac twice daily for two weeks and refrain from having sexual activities till it gets healed up completely. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Hi I took next choice pill may 29-30 normal period was may 37-June 2 . After I took pill I spotted from June 3-6 and from June 7-12 bled like a period. Was due for reg period June 26 I m a week late. Not preg Urine said neg but now I m worried. Was my bleeding from pill? And When will I have a norm period ?
|
Hallow Dear, Next Choice pill contains a Progestational preparation named Levonorgestrel. After consuming the pill, some with Chat Doctor. Nothing to worry about it. Furthermore, Levonorgestrel may delay the period up to one week or so. If you had taken the pills within 72 hours of the unprotected sexual intercourse, you need not be worried about this delay also. Wait for few days; you will get the period. However, you may opt for pregnancy test on overnight first morning urine sample one week after the missed period. Alternatively you can go for Beta Chat Doctor test which is reliable even few days before missed period. This will relieve you of the stress. I hope this resolves your doubt about the bleeding and delayed menses.

I am a 22 year old female. Healthy! 52 110 lbs. I have 4 kids. My chest has been hurting for about a week very mildly but i descided to check my blood pressure, and got a machine to do it with from my mom. It is a arm cuff digital machine, and i have tajen it since yesterday frequently in the same position and everything. It is all over the place. this morning it was normal at 115/80 but a pulse of 111 upon waking. then it has been as high as 168 as a top number and as high as 101 as the bottom. There was a few times it was normal. When I felt the worst however (really tired) it was 95/64. My pulse has only been under 100 once and then it was 98.

Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. You are having irregular readings of blood pressure. Sometimes it is very high, sometimes it is low. You are also having chest pain and tachycardia. So better to first rule out heart diseases in your case. So consult doctor and get done blood pressure monitoring, ECG, 2d echo and stress test (trade mill test). If all these are normal then no need to worry about heart diseases. Sometimes, uncontrolled stress and anxiety can also cause fluctuations in blood pressure, chest pain and tachycardia. So consult psychiatrist and get done counselling sessions. Try to identify stressor in your life and start working on its solution. You may need anxiolytic Chat Doctor. Don't worry, you will be alright with all these. Avoid stress and tension, be relaxed and calm. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.

hello doc/s. my left eye is mucusing more than usual for teh oast few hrs. its red, a bit runny- though not much as in pollen type runny eye- and not itching. a stray strand may have touched my eye in a flash while coloring roots this morning but the mucusing started before today, over the past 2 days when i got a fever/aches as in typical of a flu. ive flushed it with some cold water and optifree [i am not wearing contacts now though i did today but wont until this clears up] and applied a slightly warm compress too soothe the outside. any ideas for home remedies? im in my 40s, very healthy, wear contacts, veegetarian and female. thanks

With the information you provided, the best and safe thing is that Trifle water should be used to clean the eyes. Trifle is a combo of Habitat, Vibheetak and AMLA powders, commonly available in India. About two tsp of powder may be soaked in water (approx 200ml) overnight. In the morning, mash little, filter it and wash eyes with it. It may strain fabrics, wear accordingly. Do for one to two weeks. Avoid contact sense. Alternatively Trifle capsules of Himalaya co. are also available, but it would be costlier to take out sufficient powder for soaking. After washing put pure rose water Chat Doctor. In the evening and at night put pure rose water

I am 26, have been asthmatic for 20 years. I recently found out I have a heart murmur. The technician mentioned that there might be a link between the two? Isnt rare to develop a heart murmur at my age...it seems unlikely no one has caught it before...
|
Hello. Thank you for asking at Chat Doctor. Yes, you are right. It's rare. Heart murmur usually is a sign of heart disease, but there are other causes also. Also, sometimes very faint murmurs can be present in otherwise healthy persons. Longstanding asthma is not commonly related to heart disease. Although, a long-standing, uncontrolled asthma can affect right-side of heart after many years. So, at this point I would suggest you not to worry, and personally I would suggest you to get an Echocardiography done to know the structure and functioning of the heart. If it is normal, you should not worry. Hope this will be helpful to you. Wish you the best of the health. Regards.

my stepson had a brain aneurysm five years ago and he is vent dependent and Is fed through a g-tube. He is also not mobile. requires 24 hour care. last night his heart rate was 39-40 and his oxygen was 99-100. His heart rate has never dropped and stayed that low. it will occasionally drop if he is cold but as soon as we put blankets on him and make him warm his heart rate goes back to 50 s.
|
Hi, There are other reasons that heart rates can become low and fail to correct and perhaps in your stepson, one consideration would be an infection in the bloodstream from either a bladder, kidney, skin or pulmonary infection. Low heart rates that do not correct may be signalling a situation where bacteria have gained access to the bloodstream and are beginning to affect his hemodynamics. If he is at home I would contact his doctor and have someone come out to take a look at him and consider getting some labs and/or other tests performed. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

I am 20 years old, with a 1 year old child. i have had reoccurring dark purple lumps under my armpit for a few months now. I have one now that is VERY painful and hard. last night i couldnt take the pain anymore, and i squeezed it--blood exploded out of it. what is this? there was no pus, only blood.
|
Hi.based from your description, it could be folliculitis. This usually occurs after shaving, when hair is accidentally pulled out and inflammation and infection occurs, or when there's an irritation or an inflammatory reaction from chemical contents of your deodorant. Inflammation from uninfected follicles will subside in a few days time on its own. If the lesion, gets infected, a cyst or an abscess formation (hi Chat Doctor. If symptoms persist, a consult with your general surgeon is best for clinical evaluation. Management (medical and/or surgical) will be directed accordingly. Hope this helps. Good day!!~

hello i have back pain on the left side just above my hip area . i couldnt sleep for the pain last night and woke after brief snoozes drenched in sweat. i have a curvature of the spine and have been told i have some damage to the bottom of my spine but was not recomended any treatment. thank you
|
Hi Thanks for the query back problems are very mucChatDoctormon nowadays due to the lifestyle modification like working for prolonged times in sitting position and lying posture on mattresses and weight gain. The resulting pain due to the spinal cord compression in the lower vertebrae known as lumbar and sacral vertebrae. Which causes pain in the hips region and with further progression the pain may radiate to lower limb and in severe cases it may cause paralysis of the limb with loss of sensations. The aim of the treatment is to relieve pain and subside the inflammation along with the improvement of the nerve health. The recommended medications are the painkillers or anti-inflammatory Chat Doctor. Vitamin B complex is very much effective in the nerve health. Muscle relaxant like pseudoephiderine and physiotherapy are very effective. Steroids also have a very good effect however the above medications should be used only after the prescription of the certified doctor of your state. ThanksRegards

I have been having some what I think is stomach problems since jan. 11 2014 when I was taken to the ED for smoke inhalation. Also I have been having pains in my left chest what I think is gas. I can move or belch and it will go away shortly after. Some days I keep a dull pain in my left chest. The pain doesn t go anywhere as far to my arm, neck or jaw. I am just really concerned. I seen a cardio about two months ago he done EKG stated he didn t think it was my heart. I am a Firefighter/EMT I had my partner do a 12 Lead couple days ago when I was having the pain and it showed some possibly elevation in v3 and v4 not hardly enough to note
|
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. In my opinion you should get done holder monitoring. Holder monitoring is continuous ECG recording throughout the day (24 hours of recording). You may have angina. So at the time-out chest pain you may have ECG and when you reach to the hospital by that time pain subsided and ECG comes normal. So holder monitoring can pick up ECG finding at the onset of pain. You can also go for angiography to rule out coronary artery narrowing. It is the best gold standard test to rule out coronary artery disease. So if possible consult cardiologist and discuss all these.

this has been happening to me for a few years, and though very infrequent, i am scared
|
Chest pain with shortness of breath and sweating are very classical symptoms of abnormal heart condition. The pinching sensation you're feeling could be from a number of different things such as esophageal spasm, lung irritation, acid reflux, musculoskeletal pain, or heart condition. Regardless, I would recommend having your heart checked out again. It sounds like you might need an EKG and or a stress test. You could be having arrhythmias which is causing your heart to beat fast and abnormal. The racing heart could be giving you the pinching sensation.

Hi on the 26th of July I noticed itchy pimple like bumps around my vagina. I saw a doctor on the 30th. She prescribe me Miconazole Nitrate Vaginal Cream USP 2%. Use for 7 days, itchiness stopped but after the 7th day new break out occurred. Saw another doctor on Aug 9th. She prescribe me Clotrimazole 1% cream and Fluconazole Tablet USP 150mg. Seemed to help, but then new breakouts down my inter thighs started and also started breaking out under the arm pits with a red itchy rash. The rash started under the arms went down my arm to the top of my hands. Saw the same doctor which I saw the second time on the Aug. 13. She then prescribe me Diphenhybramine 25mg Capsule and the allergy shot. By the end of the day the itchiness had stopped and the rash wasnt so red under my pits and the rash started going away down my arm, So I thought it was working. Then by Thursday night new rashes started forming on my inter thighs and itchiness and reddness started back on under my armpits. (the doctor I had seen the last two times recommend me coming in to the doctor on call for walk ins) So I saw another doctor on Friday 17th (yesterday). She prescribe me Permethrin Cream 5% and Hydroxyzine HCL 25mg Tablet. I had applied the cream last night and washed it off this morning. The rash is worse then before and itches worse then ever in the inter thigh area and the armpit. and arms. What should I do? Should I wait it out. Never had anything like this before.
|
Hello, It looks like your rashes are getting chronic. You have taken antihistamine tablets & shots, it reduces but then again gets flared up. Presently your rashes & itching are worse after the application of Permethrin, a Chat Doctor. Since you have bumps in the vagina & rashes spreading all over the body, it looks like Herpes infection. Herpes infection can cause rashes all over the body. Bumps in the vagina are suggestive of genital warts or genital herpes. You should visit a GP at the earliest. Get clinically examined & assessed. You may need to get STD test done. Your treating doctor will treat you with antibiotics / antivirals. Take care of your hygiene. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

I have pain in my groin and left leg. Sometimes I think it is my hip but now I am convinces it is my left leg. I cannot lift my left leg very far. In the morning it is stiffer than in the evening. I tried ice but that caused unbelievable pain in my leg and hip. What is it?
|
Hello, This can be a tight muscle in your hip rotators, so it may need to be examined clinically, however you can try doing the opposite position of pain, I mean you should try to position your leg in the pain-free range or position as long as you can. Otherwise, I would need more details about your age, weight, activity level and positions that aggregate pain. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

I have a ruptured extensor tendon in my right thumb I can grasp but cannot move my thumb up when hand palm down or toward the index finger. im advised to have surgery and use one of t he tendons in my right index finger. if I wait on the surgery, as I can use my hand reasonably well, will I have t he option of doing the surgery say one year from now
|
Hi, thank you for brief history of you. A thorough neuromuscular and musculoskeletal assessment is advised. After reading your history I am able to understand that the surgeon is planning for a Tendon transplant operation. I feel you should go now itself, as when the injury persists longer the rehabilitation takes longer to regain the movement. Also, to understand that early the better. Usually surgery is not recommended if injury is small and limiting the functional activities. But in case if it does, it's better to get it done sooner. As tendons do not heal on its own and the movement don't come back.Also, to understand that after the Tendon transplant operation you need to do a serious rehabilitation of the hand, as hand is a complex system to understand and rehabilitate, the time of recovery totally depends on from individual to individual. In my personal experience we advise to take immediate steps. As the recover is early. When the case becomes chronic, the recovery is delayed and prolongs longer. Which leads to irritation in patient and with Chat Doctor. regards Jay In

Hi I knocked just below the right shoulder into a car door last wednesday and now have pain when i lift my arm or if i strike the elbow you get that pins and needles sensation. The pain has gotten better when relaxing but when start to exert it gets bad again.
|
Hello, I have studied your case and I think there is compression of nerves around shoulder when door hit the shoulder. It is called neuropraxia. In this condition there is needle like sensation, and it improves in few days to week. You should take tablet Pregabalin M one daily and also hot water fomentation. You will feel better with time. Avoid smoking and Alcohol. I hope this answer will be useful for you. Let me know if there is any other followup questions. Thanks

My Patient from Assam of International Hospital, Guwahati. Dr. A. Kelkars report USG Revels Cirrhosis liver with hypoechoic lesions in left lobe. Cholelithiasis Mild Bilateral increase in renal parenchymal echogenicity Splenomegaly. Little ascites. Suggested
|
Hi I hope you are very well As for hepatic cirrhosis in an initial way should be sought its etiology because in many cases the targeted treatment can improve liver function. To assess if there is a significant consumption of alcohol (consumption greater than 30 gr / day or 210 gr / week), the presence of metabolic risk factors such as overweight, obesity, diabetes mellitus, dyslipidemia as a cause of a probable non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. The presence of an HBV or HCV infection should be ruled out. Autoimmune or metabolic causes such as autoimmune hepatitis, primary biliary cholangitis or primary sclerosis cholangitis. Genetic or hereditary causes such as Wilson's disease or hemochromatosis. It is necessary to establish in a suitable way his chronic liver disease and to define whether he has a portal hypertension, so a Doppler ethnography of liver and biliary tract must be performed in search of collateral circulation or inversion of the portal flow, besides the characteristics of the liver And measurements of the portal vein and spleen. In addition, it is important to perform an endoscopy in search of esophageal varices, gastric or hypertensive portal osteopathy, which by definition would do so with clinically significant portal hypertension. In addition, laboratory tests should be performed to assess functional status by classifying child Pugh and meld and to better characterize the patient. You mention the presence of ascites, which is not accompanied by peripheral edema can be managed with monotherapy with spironolactone or with double therapy accompanied by furosemide, always maintaining a relationship 100 mg / 40 mg to avoid electrolytic alterations, looking for a decrease in weight Of 0.5 k / day, the goal being to keep patients free of ascites with the lowest dose of diuretic. It is necessary to improve nutritional status, to avoid hypocaloric and hypoprotective diets, with an approximate intake of 30-35 kcal / k / day and between 1 and 1.5 g / k of high nutritional value proteins. All these measures are aimed at avoiding the presence of any dysfunction or any episode of decompensation that may cause greater morbidity and mortality and improve the quality of life of the patient.

I am a 30 year old female. I have had 5 healthy children. Last year, I had the essure procdure done to have permanent birth control. Over the last month, I have started having sharp stabbling pain in both sides of my lower abdomen, where my tubes are. As the month has progressed, I have begun having mild diarrhea, especially after I eat. I am also nauseated alot throughout the day. Today, I thought I was about to start my period, but found that it was only bloody discharge. What is going on with my body?
|
Hi. Thanks for your query. You are in the period and the congestion can lead to the symptoms like mild Diarrhea you have. IF there is no fever and intestinal problems. Wait and watch. If associated symptoms - go for check up with the Surgeon, ultrasonography to see that there is no local collection of a clot or infection or sequel of sterilization procedure Bloody discharge can be due to regular periods.

How can u get your doctor see that u have so many issues and all he wanted to do was to shove medicines at me and not getting to the bottom off the problem like i have shortness of breath coughing all the time for the last since 1997 he wont send me to a lung speciality i switch doctor i amgetting the same treatment
|
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your situation and problem. In my opinion you should consult pulmonologist and get done1. Chest x ray2. Pulmonary function test (PFT). Chronic cough with breathlessness is seen commonly with asthma and COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease). So chest x-ray and PFT are needed to rule out above causes.PFT will also tell you about severity of the disease. And treatment is based on severity only. So PFT is must. You may need antihistamine and inhaled bronchodilators. So better to consult pulmonologist and discuss all these. First diagnose yourself and then start appropriate treatment. Don't worry, you will be alright.

I have just been diagnosed with level 2 breast cancer not in lymph nodes. Dr putting me on letrozole to shrink tumor. How can this shrink my tumor and help ladies get pregnant? I am 60 years old thank you is there any herbal meds that can do the same that dont have bad side effects?
|
Hi I did review your concern. Metronome is an estrogen production inhibitor. In this way it decreases estrogen in body and decreases tumor growth of those tumors which are tumor dependent like breast cancer. It also helps in pregnancy as it indirectly increases LH and FSH secretion and helps in ovulation in initial stages. I would advise you to do the same. Ayurvedic medications have no scientific basis however they can be tried if you have any person who has a successful experience with it. I hope this help swish you good luck.

o.k first of all hi,i have a newborn babygirl ,she has gazes,she is 2 months,my friend told me that one tea spon of coca cola after milk will help her cure from gazes,even i should drink after each meal,i was surprised,i live in swiss,sh said that all moms here do that with their babies,is that right?
|
Hello! Thank you for writing. It is normal for your baby to have gases. Usually it lasts until about four months, so don't worry. After you feed milk to your baby try to put him up lying with the head to your shoulder for 10 minutes rubbing her back in order to get rid of gases. Try to put her mouth good around the areola in order not to suck air. Feed your baby frequently in order not to have hunger because if she has hunger he sucks air during milk feeding. I don't recommend you to use cola for your baby. It will pass as your baby grows old, and the organism adapt gradually. Best regards

I had a kidney infection in September last year and it went away after taking the 14 days worth of antibiotics. It came back after a few days then. I went back to the doctor in October to find I had another UTI (again with a high fever of 102 or 103 and burning when urinating). After that round of antibiotics it didn t fully go away. I still had a slight burning when urinating and after the urine and culture tests, I no longer had a UTI. I then had few STD tests done and were all negative. Now in January I still have painful urination and just started to get painful bumps around my vagina and clitorus. I have been with the same man (husband) for 10 years and have had 2 children (August of 2010 and June of 2012). I recently got my period he first time in Decemner after having my second child and noticed it now hurts to use a tampon . Please help me. I don t know what else to do.
|
Hi young lady, welcome to Chat Doctor. You seem to be getting recurrent urinary infection after your second pregnancy. There could be a few reasons for this. You will need to consult your GP/ Family physician and get a few tests arranged first - Urine routine and culture (mid-stream urine please) and Ultrasound of Kidneys and bladder (pre- and post-emptying the bladder) at the very least. Some people tend to develop bladder diverticula or tend to retain some urine in bladder even after they think they have emptied it. Any stagnant urine is a good culture medium for bugs! I am not sure what these lumps you mention are - best to check out with a gynecologist. I don't want to just make some assumptions without examining someone and cause you to worry. It could be infection, warts, or something called endometriosis, or something else. Only after examination (and tests like a smear or biopsy) can we identify the problem. You have been with only one partner for past 10\u00a0years, but you are never sure of the other person are you! I am not suggesting anything, but want you to get examined by an appropriate specialist asap and not neglect this.

Hi so im 16 in july and lately ive been getting headaches mostly in the morning but also throughout the day. Durring these headaches i sometimes loose my side vision and my vision becomes blurry. in addition to this my mom keeps telling me that she has told me things that i really dont remember her saying at all along with my coaches and friends doing the same thing. Also my arm sometimes like will like move a little without me trying to move it. Cancer runs in my family like to the point where all most all of my relatives who have passed away have died from cancer. There has been some other symptoms that have been freaking me out for the past 6 months or so but those are the main ones i can remember. Also, my mom keeps telling me that im acting weird with like my movements and posture and stuff. Im hoping its nothing of corse but im getting really worried i was wondering what u think could be going on. Also i suffered from a VERY minor concussion around a month or so ago. When i went to my pediatrician she said it was nothing to be worried about (i barely got hit but my mom kinda freaked out) Also the symptoms started way before the concussion so i dont really think its that anyway if you have any idea what it could be or any advice to get rid of the symptoms that would be awesome thanks.

Hello, welcome to Chat Doctor. Your headache is appeared less likely due to concussion, as you had headache even before the mild concussion. Headache can be caused by several medical conditions. Common causes for headache

Hi, Your History suggests you have Sciatica. Do you have any Loss of Bowel or bladder control? You have to see your Orthopedist Immediately so that he can examine you and suggest MRI to confirm whether there is any nerve compression, by your Vertebrae in your Lower back. The compression of Sciatic Nerve cause, Tingling sensation and Numbness. If it confirmed, you will require another surgery. Your treating Orthopedist will know better. Following this, you will require Physiotherapy. Do moderate Intensity exercises, avoid lifting heavy weights and get adequate rest. Stick to your Treatment Plan and go for regular follow up. Wish you Good Health.

my friend was very dark than anyone in our class.. now she has undergone some treatment to get fair.. now no one fair like her in class.. how is this change possible?? please suggest some ways to become like her because i have seen a live example of some one with dark skin getting fair complexion .. i asked her where she took the treatment but she never revealed..
|
HIIT is very difficult to believe! - very dark to very fair? Maybe it is a disease? Most treatments are only attempts to bleach. If it is true and if the person treating her can convince the scientific community, there is chance for the person to become a billionaire overnight! - there may be a million waiting and willing to pay for the change! Multinational companies will be willing to pay for the IPR - Intellectual Property Rights! If she is not willing to reveal, how come, she is your friend? You have no reason to worry, K\u0101vya! Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. It is the mind that matters! Color is not the only criterion - many times, it is not a criterion at all! God bless you Good luck

Hi ive just been told that my ct scan shows quite a bit of calcium in front left lobe of my brain & that i need an mri now to see in more detail. I suffer from dystonia to which affects my neck shoulders arms hands. I have been getting a lot of headaches lately with some memory loss & lso tingling in my face they dont think at moment that theres any tumors behind the deposits but just wondering what treatment i could expect
|
Hello, Thanks for the query, I understand your problem Let me tell you that If the CT scan shows calcium in the brain, you continue to do MRI as advised by your doctor. There e is a possibility that you may be having parathyroid problem and the whole symptoms that you have could be related to disorder of calcium metabolism, and it is treatable, and you will improve. Patients with dystonia generally require neurological evaluation and exact classification of dystonia so that treatment becomes easy. Medications that are used to treat are Tetrabenazine, clonazepam, trihexyphenidyl, botulinum toxin etc. Which medicine is to be used will depend upon the classification of dystonia. Please consult a local neurologist who will guide you through clinical evaluation and investigations and treatment Best wishes Chat Doctor. Chat Doctor .com/doctors/

I have recently realized that my hand is hsaking all time. Thouse its not noticable but i can feel it. But it is very much apparent when i lift my hand or wrost or even hold somthing tight. I have a family background of diabetics but i checked my diabetic 3 moth before which shows nothing. Well before few days i had a argument with some one, and during the argument i stated to tremble very very badly and for a time being i wasnt able to speak. I was trying to speak loudly but wasnt able to say , somthing was blocking my words and felt little bit dizzy. I have noticed my shakeyess after that. Now i want to know why its happening.
|
May be its anxiety, anxiety can lead to such tremors and shaking or in other words nervousness, your family background of DM has nothing to do with your hand shaking. Its purely due to nervousness, every one feel nervous at some time in their lives. However some people overcome it easily some exhibits symptoms like you. I can also advise you to be stress less, not to be intimidated easily, talk to a friend, don't keep stiff inside yourself, read good books. I wish you all the best, thanks for writing to us.

hi i m shashi i having 15months baby s last night she is sufering from loose motions n vomiting doctors perscribed bifilac Anset syrup zenflox i have given but now she is doing stools with toilet continously should i go again to the doctor?is there any serios matter?
|
Thanks for asking I have gone through your question. You 15-month-old daughter is having loose motions. And your doctor prescribed some medicine but still loose motion continue. I was your treating pediatrician I would counsel you, because loose motions take 4-6 days for improvement. Make sure to replace Oral rely Chat Doctor. Give about 50-100 ml of ORS for each episode of loose motion. I would add Zinc 20 per day and sachet rececadotril 15 mg, twice daily in addition of above medicine your doctor prescribed. Give unripe banana in diet hope I answer your query wish you health family

Hi. My boyfriend and I had sex couple days ago. We did not use a condom but he did not ejaculate in me because he pulled off me when he felt it coming. Is there a possibility that I might be pregnant anyways? And if I was pregnant, how long would it take for the symptoms to occur?
|
Hello, thank you for posting your query to Chat Doctor. With Chat Doctor. Although there is very little chance of conception without ejaculation, but its possibility cant be ruled out as pre-cum also has the potential to do the same. If you had sex during your fertile window, I'd suggest you take a home pregnancy test on the day of your missed period (if at all you miss it). If you don't want to wait that long then you could also go and get your blood tested for BChatDoctor. For pregnancy symptoms to occur, there is no hard and fast rule as it differs from individual to individual. Some women start feeling weird since the day of conception. Many others don't feel any difference till 3-4 months. Usually a missed period is the first sign that you must look for. Others (tender breasts, acidity, lethargy etc.) may or may not come. Hope this was helpful.

Sir/madam,<My brother in law was joined in a meditation centre in few yrs back (at his 25th age). After that he changed lot. He dont speak to any one and live separately in a room, dont bath, throw all his things etc... V enquired about that centre they did sum mesmerisem like that.... then v gave treatment in Chennai. He recovered, just few mths only. then go back. Now v need gud hospital in Chennai reg. his problem Pls reply us asap sir...
|
Hi dear. I understand your concern. Meditations directly do not cause illness but excessive involvement in spiritual program or fixed belief toward anything might be precipitate illness. Or it may be just co incidence. But proper evaluation and treatment is must. Psychological evaluation and diagnosis about his thoughts processes will give more brief idea. Symptoms that have you described broadly indicate psychosis or psychotic illness like schizophrenia. Anti-psychotic medicines like olanzapine/risperidone etc. will help but take opinion of his treating psychiatrist. Consult same psychiatrist that he took treatment earlier. Still if you have a query then feel free to ask. Happy to help you further. Thank you.

I have a tooth abscess that I saw my doctor about yesterday. I can t afford to see a dentist (in australua we have free health care but this doesn t include dentists). He prescribed some antibiotics to clear the infection and the swelling and pain has already improved a lot. But there is now a fluid build up in the roof of my mouth. Do I need to get it lanced at the doctor? Or will it eventually drain on its own? I m only on day 2 of a 5 day course of antibiotics.
|
Holding salt water in your mouth for about 10 minutes at a time, packing the area of the tooth abscess with tea bags for a day - are two of the common home remedies for a tooth abscess. Put the Steps next to the gum area of the tooth with the abscess, so that the antibacterial effect is as close to the infection as one can get it. It is important to keep the lozenge in position for several hours, without sucking it.

Hello....... Thanks for your query. I can understand your concern with the symptoms. It is possible that you are suffering from a depressive disorder that can explain your symptoms. However, you would require ruling out of anemia, thyroid disorders and an assessment by a general physician before considering the possibility of depressive disorder. Effective anti-depressant medication and psychotherapy (e.g. cognitive behavioral therapy) are likely to be beneficial if we arrive at the diagnosis of depressive disorder. Hope you found the information useful. Regards Chat Doctor.

My father has a grapefruit size lump in his armpit. He has had an MRI recently and they are going to remove it. He is scheduled for surgery in two weeks. They are taking it out to check to see if it is cancerous. He had prostate cancer 3 yrs. ago (had prostate removed)- counts /margin came back good then. His Dr. is saying that he may have nerve damage due to the size of the armpit lump...is thim common?
|
HI, Welcome with your query to Chat Doctor. Based on the facts of your query, Chances of nerve damage are not more and are as usual as for any other axillary surgery for the lump of that size.Also, the chances of Mets from prostate are very less due to complete excision 3yrs back. Still what your doctor is saying is to be taken for the sake of explanation for the consent. Rest you don't have more than normal chances of nerve injuries for removal of armpit lump. Welcome for any further query in this regard Will appreciate writing your feedback review comments, to help the needy patients like you at Chat Doctor. Good Day!! Chat Doctor. S. Genl-CVTS

Helots type of allergy is a precursor of asthmatic allergic bronchitis i.e. ASTHMA. But unfortunately peoples in India don't accept this, as I have noted. When such patient visit my clinic I prescribe them to take montelukast+ albuterol (combination 0.2 mg /kg body weight) one tablet in the night and patient respond very well. I don't prescribe nebulizer or steroid inhaler. In my opinion this is safe Chat Doctor. When patient become symptom free, stop the

my husband will all of sudden gets shakes all over his body with sweating. He has to sit down right away. It has even happen 1hour after a meal. It would happen like once a month or every other month, but friday it happened twice in two hours, what would cause this?
|
His am Chat Doctor. I have read the message. I think I can help you. The symptoms are highly suggestive of seizures and epilepsy. I would recommend testing a video EEG and MRI Brain. This is needed to make sure that there are no secondary treatable causes of seizures and to evaluate the types of seizures so that an appropriate therapy can be initiated at the earliest. An appointment with neurologist is needed to initiate the medicines. Since the medication can have significant side effects, one needs to confirm the diagnosis before initiating the therapy. Please feel free to ask any follow-up query on the issue. Please let us know the reports of the said tests so that further suggestions can be advised. Best wishes,

Asthma is not curable in allopatry. It may or may not be same in herbomineral treatment too but the side effects and further deterioration of health may be checked easily. Black stools is not a good sign. There is some kind of perforation in Castro Intestinal Tract - chances are most - due to steroid or other medicines. To my own patients I would never advise continuing with the same. If you agree write little medical history and show your desire to switch to herbomineral Ayurvedic approach. However, switching should be gradual. Pl. consult through direct question for further guidance.

Hi Dr, I have been suffering from a very sore stomach for the last three days, bowel movements normal etc, but tummy feels very heavy, possible trapped wind? It s very painful and has woken me through the night. I m not nauseas at all. I ve tried all trapped wind remedies, peppermint tea , hot water, hot water bottle etc. finding it hard to walk. Not sure what to do next.
|
Hello, Thanks for the query to Chat Doctor. Forum. This type of the pain may be due to .1 Renal stone on both side, diagnosis can be confirmed by ultrasound of both kidneys .2 Amoebic colitis, diagnosis can be confirmed by physical as well clinical examination by a physician. As in most cases of this type of pain usually large intestine palpable. 3 Hyper acidity and indigestion is the another cause. Diagnosis can be confirmed by complete history of illness by a physician. Antacid and enzymatic preparation will provide you some relief. In my opinion consult a physician and get his opinion. Good luck.

Dear User, it depends on the underlying disease that is giving nephrotic syn Chat Doctor. In fact, there are diseases, as FSGS, that only rarely goes to remission with zero proteinuria. On the other hand, diseases like membranous nephropathy may be in immunologic remission six months before the disappearance of proteinuria. Conversely, you may see MCD in complete remission after two weeks on corticosteroids. In general, although total 24h proteinuria is important, what really matters is the disappearance of nephrotic syn

ive been taking Birth control pills for three months now. i was on my period for two of those three it recently stopped a few days ago untill i had unprotected sex last night (no condom) he pulled out but this morning i started spotting again but it started out as brown discharged and its only blood when i pee. Is that something i should be worried about or is it normal. Im calling my doctor tomorrow to set an appointment for more Birth control. but i was wondering if it could mean that i might end up pregnant and he might not of pulled out quick enough or if its just my body because i was on the depro shot for two years. i dont know and i cant ask my parents for help because they will freak on me and i would really like an answer like really soon please. I just want to know if it could mean that i might end up being pregnant or not. i know its way to early to test. unless blood tests could be done and they could tell this early or not. i dont know im new to all of this. im 20 and he is the 3rd guy ive ever been with and ive had sex many times but it was our first time together and ive never once had this problem before.
|
Hello, I would like to say welcome to our site, and I am pleased to be able to help you. It is not always safe when practicing coitus interrupts as method of birth control as it is not 100% effective. There is always the chance of you getting pregnant (well that was just for some information). As for your worry, the symptoms you are presenting such as spotting may rather be related to contraceptive with Chat Doctor. It is true that implantation bleeding usually presents as spotting, but I doubt if that is the case given the scenario that you have described. However, since we can never be 100% sure, it is always best to do pregnancy test if next period is missed or wait for say 2-3 weeks before conducting a test. In the meantime, just be calm and concentrate on other stuffs. Hope this helps and wish you the best

HI My father has been suffering from a cough since the last 3 months. it get worse at nights. He also suffers from fever 3 times a day (morning, evening & mid night). Chills are a part too specially in the evening. We got a urine & blood culture and both were fine. CT scan was also clear. He has lost weight and is weak due to which he has loss appetite too. The physician did put him on antibiotics (Doxycylcin) how ever there was no improvement. A Brucella test was done too and we did find low grade infection in the blood and doctors put him on a 14 day course of steptamisen along with Doxycyclin however yet not improvement and has become weaker. Any suggestions. Thanks
|
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your situation and problem. Since CT thorax was normal, pneumonia has been ruled out. I advise to get done PFT (pulmonary function test) to rule out bronchitis and asthma. As both can cause nighttime cough with fever spikes. Another possibility is congestive cardiac failure. In this, cough is typically seen in night due to back pressure in supine postures. So get done 2d echo to rule out this. So consult your doctor and discuss all these possibilities.

About a week ago, I experienced acid reflux while sleeping, which caused a mild wheezing in lungs for a day. Since then, for the first time, I have experienced a persistent, mostly dry cough, clearing of throat, and strange, metallic, burnt taste in the back of my throat after coughing. I used to suffer from asthma but have not had any symptoms for the past four years.
|
Hello. Thank you for asking at Chat Doctor. I went through your history. Were I treating you, I would suggest you 4-6 weeks treatment with a proton pump inhibitor Chat Doctor. I would also suggest you to avoid hot and spicy foods, alcohol and caffeinated beverages. If possible, a brief relaxing walk after evening meal will also help. Hope this will be helpful to you. Wish you the best of the health. Regards.

|
You didn't mention, what antibiotics you were taking. It seems from your problem that your upper respiratory tract infection has converted to lower respiratory tract infection. If the culture report is available, it's better to use antibiotics accordingly. Steam inhalation with salt added to water will definitely soothe you. Lozenges will help you in sore throat. If you tell me the empirical antibiotics which you have already used, I can suggest what next you should take. But best solution will be guided by the culture report. Ideally it should not take more than 96 hrs

my 5 year old son has a tooth in the back that looks like it broke off it s down to his gums there is a swollen bump with blood inside the piece of tooth thats left he is complaining of pain but not very much its the weekend and emergency dentists are closed what should i do ?
|
Hello, The swollen bump on the gums could be because of the gum infection secondary to the sharp margins of the root. Consult a pediatric dental surgeon and take a radiograph to rule out the infection. If it is in a very bad condition, get the tooth removed under local anesthesia. Meanwhile, you can take a course of antibiotics like amoxicillin three times a day, and Berlin junior three times a day for three days if you are not allergic. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

hi Dr,im 40 year old mother of a 8 yrs old kid,weight 85kgs,height 5.2,experiencing burning and slight numb feeling on the lover back right side and runs down to calf mussle..its a severe pain and cant stand up for 5 mins even,what could have happened pls reply.
|
Hello, Thanks for your query. Symptoms that you are having are likely to be due to a nerve root compression at the level of lumbar spine. You need to get an MRI scan of the area done and consult a neurophysician for proper diagnosis and treatment. Since there is only numbness of the affected area it suggests that the affection of nerve root is only minimal. Such minor symptoms are usually taken care of by Methylcobalamin supplements which you can take after consulting your orthopedicianI do hope that you have found something helpful, and I will be glad to answer any further query. Take care

My father is 70 years old he is having coughing problem,x-ray of chest revealed -FEW CALCIFIC GRANULOMAS IN LEFT MID ZONE,IN THE PARA - HILAR REGION,SUGGESTIVE OF OLD HEALED INFECTION ( he had T.B 20 years ago which was fully cured) ... pls suggestin treatment suitable for his age
|
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Your fathers x-ray report is suggestive of old healed fibrotic lesions due to previous history of tuberculosis. But in old age reactivation of dormant tb bacilli can occur. And so we need to rule out active tuberculosis in him. So get done sputum examination for AFB (acid fast bacilli-bacteria causing tuberculosis). If this is negative than no need to worry about active tuberculosis. Post infectious bronchitis is also a possibility and coughing is common symptom in it. So get done PFT (Pulmonary Function Test) and if it shows obstructive defect than he may need inhaled bronchodilators and inhaled corticosteroid (ICS). So better to first diagnose yourself and then start appropriate treatment. Hope I have solved your query. Wishing good health to your father. Thanks.

My son is now 9. He has had a bald spot on the side of his head for several years now. It hasn t grown bigger, but his hair hasn t ever grown back either. He hasn t had a traumatic life, but did have a tonsil adenoid ectomy at the age of two. What could be the cause?
|
Hi...by what you quote I feel that it is a long-standing fungal infection or a condition called alopecia errata. I suggest you see your dermatologist for this. Skin conditions are best diagnosed only after seeing directly. I suggest you to upload photographs of the same on this website, so that I can guide you scientifically. Hope my answer was helpful for you. I am happy to help any time. Further clarifications and consultations on Chat Doctor are welcome. If you do not have any clarifications, you can close the discussion and rate the answer. Wish your kid good health.

Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. Diet and lac of exercise are the common cause of epidemic. You should go for lipid profile test. Check the level of cholesterol, triglycerides, LDL and HDL. If your cholesterol level increase then you should take low fat diet with high amount of polyunsaturated fatty acids. Go for regular exercise. If needed you can take Chat Doctor. It is prescription based medicine so consult your doctor and take treatment accordingly. Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Wish you a very good health.

Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ? Please type your query here... My blood pressure has been high all day, but it has really spiked since I started laying down to go to sleep. It has gotten up to 193/118, but then once I am up for a while, it drops. The last reading was 160/100, but now my machine is giving me an error reading. My wife happens to take HCTZ. I am wondering if I should go the ER, take one of her pills, wait it out, etc.
|
Hi Thereafter going through your query I understand your concern. I would like to tell you that Blood pressure more than 180/120 is an emergency condition but looks like your machine is giving fake readings. Check your BP on different machine and if it is actually more than 180/120 then go to ER.Don't take pills until you are sure about high BP as risk of hypotension will there if it is a fake reading. Kind Regards

Hello, Thank you for posting on Chat Doctor. It seems you are suffering from Tina courts and corporal, a kind of fungal infection. I would suggest you to consult your dermatologist for proper management of the condition. I usually recommend proper course of oral antifungal Chat Doctor. You can additionally use antifungal dusting powder containing ketoconazole during daytime and a soap containing ketoconazole for rinsing of affected areas. Take oral antihistamines for itching as required. Maintain hygiene over those areas and avoid wearing tight undergarments. Hope your queries are resolved and wish you best of health.

My father is a mental patient since last 40 years. He had got doubt to my mother. Without geniuness he is telling and imaging the matters. He connected 3 to 4 of our relatives and telling bad relation with my mother. Sometime he is very violent. Nearly 2o years back we approached a Psycologist and he suggested a medicine DEplat 75mg, E. When some problems showing give this medicine. Last few years when this tablet given some face reactions appearing i.e. lips are going to one side and all.... so we are afraid and not given that tab. One year back he had a Heart attack - Silent. As per Cardiologist 3 blocks are there. Bye-pass surgery need. But the health condition is not good - Diabetic and Blood pressure - not yet surgery done and continuing Medicine (No circulation problem is shown in the Anchiogram). Medicine given for heart disease is Deplatt 75mg, Ecospring AV 150, Mono Isordil SR 30, Semi Daonil for Diabletic and Betacard AM for BP. Now few days he is very violent and creating problem/quarrel with others. We have not approached a doctor because if he know he will agains create problem. If we give the earlier medicine (mental) any problem will occure? He is 73 year old, Height
|
Hi dear, there are many medical illnesses your father have, so treatment of psychiatric illness must not affect medical part. As you described your father suspicious over your mother and frequent violent episode suggest that he has psychotic disorder and need treatment.is there any other features associated with it?any sleep disturbance, hearing of voice, abnormality of speech and behavior etc...for proper diagnosis detail history is must. So consult psychiatrist for detail history and treatment. Thank you

Hi doc my 11months old baby girl is having fever from last 1week and doc said she is having chest and ear infections. She is on amoxicillin from 3days with 125mg three times a day. But still she has high fever of 103f. Is it safe to take astha dx along with amoxicillin. .?
|
Hi, Welcome to the ChatDoctorBrief answer. She may need chest X-ray, C.B.C, M. P (malarial parasite) tests. Detailed answer.First let antibiotic course be completed according to your doctors advice and in between fever spikes you may give spy.mesenteric acid. If she still has fever spikes and other symptoms of infection then, she may need to be evaluated for type of infection, for that get above-mentioned blood tests and X-ray done and discuss further.

Hello, Im very concerned about my front teeth, it has started to shake like 2 days ago, and i am terrified, i just hope that i wont have to remove it, my gum always bleeds when i wash my teeth. And it has become sensitive from air and coldness, and also i have space between my front teeths.
|
Hi, thanks for your query. Main problem is with your gums. You are suffering from periosulting dental disease, which is disease of gums. In this condition the gums[gingival] the bone supporting the tooth gets effected resulting in gum bleeding while brushing [starting stage] if neglected it progresses resulting in bone loss and tooth mobility. Treatment includes deep sublingual scaling or flap surgery if necessary[can be diagnosed through radiograph]. Nothing to worry.visit periodontist for further treatment. Hope this is helpful.

I cannot do anything .. there is some relief for the running nose , but nasal congestion cuase so much uncomfort .. is Cold and anxiety are two issues ? what is immediate remedy to attest cold
|
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Metaspray is having mometasone. It is intranasal steroidal Chat Doctor. It is very safe and devoid of side effects. So your anxiety is not due to this spray. In my opinion, you should consult psychiatrist and get done counselling sessions. Try to identify stressor in your life and start working on its solution. You may need anxiolytic
