i had my appendix removed october 17th now my cuts have healed but one of them lower under my bellybutton healed with a bump i thought no big deal as it was nothing on the sheet that said i should worry after discharge now i pressed on the pump and i felt somthing pop like a pimple could this be PUS? | Hi Dear, Welcome to Chat Doctor. Understanding your concern. As per your query pus filled lump on the sutures post appendix removal is because of persistence of infection in that area. There are chances you have underlying systemic disease such as diabetes which is delaying healing in that area. Take a proper course of antibiotics to subside infection. Visit oral pathologist once and go for Grams staining, culture and sensitivity from the pus discharge. Maintain proper cleanliness of that area. Apply Betadine cream and polypoid ointment to heal the infection faster. Chat Doctor. |
hello doctor ,i had a child of 8 yrs andin sep 2011 i conceived i had abortion on 26 th sptember 2011 till today i did not get periods . i had done ChatDoctor test but it was negative on 12 th december 2011. but we want to have another child .what might be the problem | Hallow Dear, Usually 5 weeks after an abortion, the egg forming resumes. Starting of the period may vary, but is usually after 5-6 weeks. So even in spite of not having menses, the pregnancy is possible. If you are keen on having pregnancy, I would advise you to find out the day on which you release your egg (ovulation). This can be done either by ovulation monitoring kit or ultrasonography. The egg has life of 24 hours while the sperms are active for 72 hours. Hence, 4 days on either side of the day of ovulation is fertile period. Sexual intercourse in this period will give you good results. However, you will get the best results if you can have sexual intercourse on the day of ovulation. Otherwise, there seem to be no problem with your Chat Doctor test. Wish you safe motherhood, |
I have been experiencing a burning and stinging sensation in my thigh whenever I stand or walk too long. I only get relief when I sit down for a while. Recently I have been having the same symptoms along with sharp, prickly pain even when I am seated. It is becoming more frequent. I fear it may be a blood clot but I travel for work extensively and haven t been able to see the doctor. | Hello have read your query. There is possibility of lumbar canal stenosis leading to symptoms. I will advise you MRI spine. In lumbar canal stenosis there is narrowing of spinal canal leading to burning sensation. Epidural steroid shot may help you. Physiotherapy like ultrasound and matrix therapy may help you. I hope I have answered your questions. If you have further questions please feel free to contact us. I will be happy to answer. Take care. |
Hello. My bottom gums (way down - not visible unless you are looking) - appear red/purple on the bottom of the front 6 teeth. So far, there is no tooth or gum pain - no swelling but it looks like its bleeding internally? I dont recall getting hit in the face/mouth ;) - so wondering what it could be? I do use whitening mouth wash if that has anything to do with it but its only on the bottom gums. Thanks! | Purple discoloration on bottom gum is mainly because of acute necrotizing periodontal disease and due to dead tissue, or necrosis. Improper oral hygiene, stress, smoking, and viral infections, are causes of infection. If this condition left untreated, it can spread to your cartilage and then bone, causing very serious bone loss. I would suggest you to visit dentist and get proper cleaning of this area done. Periodontist is the one specialized for gums for proper scaling, root planning. Maintain hygiene brush three times a day along with flossing. There are surgical and non-surgical both methods available to prevent this discoloration. Use antimicrobial mouth wash such as Listerine. Best Wishes, |
I have a lump on my shoulder that appears to be larger and spreading down my back. I am unable to raise that arm up but so far and have to be careful when working least I do something that causes pain. It is the arm that I use in work and writing. What do you think it could be? | Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor, A lump on the shoulder is most probably due to soft tissue swelling. A clinical assessment, imaging of the site and aspiration cytology of the lesion is required. Imaging or radiological examination of the site will help to know the probable site and extent of the swelling. Aspiration of the swelling involves aspiration of cellular material from the swelling with a needle, spreading on a glass slide and staining with appropriate stain. The stained cells are examined under the microscope. This investigation determines the site of the lesion, its character and thus its treatment can be planned. Consult your primary healthcare provider for further work up. Thanks and take care Chat Doctor. |
my father is unconscious he had a operation in march of brain hematoma.. but now last week he had attacked of epilepsy and MRI shows that there is a neoplastic lesion in right posterior parietal region.. so i have to ask that what should have to do now?? is neurosurgery is risky again or there would be another option of treatment ? his age is about 60 years | Hi, Thanks for writing in. It is important to review his earlier report and then proceed with current diagnosis. A brain hematoma is an area of bleed for which he had a surgery. It is important to know if the epilepsy and neoplastic lesion on MRI are in the same area as the hematoma or at a different location. Neoplasm is a general term used to describe a tumor. Complete review of his MRI is essential and that will tell the exact size of the tumor, location (?right posterior parietal region) and the pressure effect it is causing on the brain. An electroencephalogram can also be done to know what exactly caused his epilepsy. That way we can assess if going for surgery is the best treatment or if other choices can be made. Doing another surgery is not a big risk, but it is important to know the probable nature of what is seen in the MRI and if it is related to the earlier surgery he had last year. |
Hi, I am 22 years old and i think i am suffering from gynecomastia. I dnt have puffed nipples but there is some breast development in my cheast area. Is is serious? Although i suffer no pain or swelling I am a little embarassed. Are there any medicine to cure this or do i have to undergo surgery? | Degree understand your concerns went through your details. There are many other symptoms which should be present so that the problem can be attributed to gynecomastia. You should not worry. Some bread development is normal for even men too. The best method to overcome this problem is to indulge in rigorous exercise schedule. The extra muscle in your breast will convert itself into tight ones and will form your tight chest.

My Mother has been on Aricept and Namenda since 2010. She has been in Assisted Living for a few months and after about a week of Mother acting very panicked and paranoid that something bad is going to happen, I found out AL failed to get her Aricept meds filled. She was off this med cold turkey for a good month until today. She has dementia. Will re-starting this med. help her get back on track? Or will this spiral her downward even more? | His understand you concern. Aricept contain donepezil. Donepezil is anticholinergic medicine that used for dementia.

hello, i wanted to ask about my case. my first day of cycle was 2nd of April. i had an unsafe sex with my bf on the 12th of April. he did pull out before he ejaculated tho, but as we know that precum does have live sperm as well, so around 4 hours after, i took postinor2, both tablet in once. i read in a lot of article, we supposed to feel nausea or vomiting. well, in my case, i dont feel a thing. i feel normal. too normal. this is my first time taking this tablets. is this a normal thing? do i have to worry about me getting pregnant? when do you think i will get my period again? and when am i suppose to get a pregnancy test, incase? | HelloThanks for your query. It is not necessary to experience nausea and vomiting with the pill, though it is a common side effect. Also, with the intake of emergency contraceptives, your normal period might be advanced or postponed by a week or more. You might also experience irregular spotting / bleeding anytime in between. You should take a pregnant test if you do not have your normal period 4 weeks after the episode of unprotected sex. Take care. |
A few weeks ago, I suddenly developed neuropathological symptoms - left hand went numb, could not move, among other problems like constant sleepiness/fatigue, tingling/ dead zone on scalp...finally got lab results - serum B 12 level in excess of 1,999 pg/mL, folate normal at 15 ng/mL; MCV elevated at 98 fL, and liver enzymes (SGOT, SGPT) high at 66 IU/L & 132 IU/L, respectively. Since I m on a computer all day, the left hand/arm and now right thumb (very painful) make it nearly impossible to do anything. Had EEG & orbital MRI, neurologist appt. not for another two weeks. Anything to decrease B 12 levels? Greatly appreciate any suggestions. Thank you kindly in advance. Mary Anne | Hi, Thanks for your query. The abnormal sensations that you have such as numbness, tingling are termed peripheral neuropathy. Peripheral Neuropathy is a condition caused by damage to the peripheral nervous system [most commonly seen in diabetic patients]. Another possibility could be nerve compression in spine due to disc bulge. Change your diet and remove inflammatory foods such as citrus fruits, dairy products and wheat that may aggravate the condition. Simultaneously increase your intake of potassium and calcium-rich foods such as bananas and avocados and green leafy vegetablesVitamin B12 is important in the maintenance of health and normal functioning of the nerve tissue and deficiency of it can lead to numbness. You can increase B12 level by taking meat and fish, or you can take tab methylcobalamine. I do hope that you have found something helpful, and I will be glad to answer any further query. Take care |
Hi Doc,For several years now I have had a brownish, itchy blotch on the inside of my right testicle. I have two small brown spots on the inside of my left testicle. They seem to itch more when I am under stress. They often do not bother me for extended periods of time. Any ideas?Thanks. | HelloThanks for query. The brownish blotch on testicles (Scrotum) since long time are most likely to be Sebaceous Cyst The diagnosis can be confirmed only on clinical examination by a qualified general Surgeon. The scrotal skin is rich in sebaceous glands and hence prone to get more sebaceous cyst due to accumulation of sebum beneath the skin. Normally they fade away without treatment however they need to be treated if increase in size or get infected. Please consult qualified General Surgeon for clinical evaluation and further treatment. If needed some of them which are bigger may need to get excised in Toto (Completely along with the sac) Chat Doctor. |
I have had these red bumps with white pus, almost pimple like, under both of my armpits for about 2 and a half months. They both hurt and itch. My PCP gave me an ointment to put on them but there has been no avail. If needed I can send a picture for a better clarification. Please help! Thanks so much! Sarah Glover | Hi! Good morning. I am Chat Doctor answering your query. From you history, it seems that you got recurrent infections of the sebaceous glands in both of your armpits. If I were your doctor, I would have advised you to avoid shaving the area or applying any irritant lotion/ointments to the area, and would advise you for a broad spectrum antibiotic for longer than normal duration. Depending on the improvement, I would also consider doing a culture/sensitivity test of the discharge coming out from these bumps to start the most appropriate antibiotic. Also, a routine blood sugar estimation would be warranted. I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts. Thanks for choosing Chat Doctor to clear doubts on your health problems. I wish you an early recovery. Chat Doctor. |

Hello Im about a 32 to 33 day cycle, I was to start my period on 2/13 now 7 days late...Ive had a dull lower back ace for about 2 weeks now and at night feel a little nauseous, around Jan 25 I went to ER for a kidney stone they have me anitbotics and waited for it to pass also told me I had another in my kidney but nothing yet. Ive takenamy pg test and all negative. Would a Kidney stone or the meds be the reason for my delayed period? Ive also felt very full in my tummy region any help or suggestions would be great | Hi, There is no relationship between renal calculi and hemorrhagic. Having period delayed up to 15 days is considered normal but other condition (physiological /pathological)cannot be denied. The symptom you had like LBP ain, nausea, urinary symptoms generally occurs in renal calculus. Generally calculus up to 5\u00a0mm size can come out through urine(as small ureteric did isms)but sometime did of 7\u00a0mm have been found to be expelled with a lot of pain. So is it is less than 5\u00a0mm wait for Lithuania otherwise operative (ESL /PCNL)should be done. Regarding delayed period wait for 1 more week if still awaited then meet gone clinic. Thanks n regards |
Hi, im a 21 year old college student and i was diagnosed with Chrons when I was bout 11. I was recently hospitalized for about a week due to severe left side pain, nausea, and vomiting. My GI doctor perscribed me prednisone but i havent seen any change. I can barely keep any foods down and my stomach is very swollen to where i cant button my pants. Its hard to be in college and to constantly throw up all day. For some reason, the only thing that tends to stay down is crackers, but i cant see myself surviving off crackers for the rest of my life. Any advice? Please help | HI, thanks for using Chat Doctor The prednisone was to try to reduce the inflammation in the bowel by suppressing the immune response but if it is not helping there are other immune suppressant medications that can be used. You should go to your doctor for a review so he or she can change to medication to another that may be able to help you. There are over the counter agents that may help with the swelling (if linked to bloating) and the vomiting e.g. Chat Doctor. |
Im 76, 5, 130# and after treading only 5 minutes or so, I start to salivate excessively and feel like heart burn rather anything to do with heart. I have had a heart murmur for 4 years. Do I push and tread more or stop. I dont know if its my heart, Im not short of breath nor have any pain. | Hi, Welcome. This is Chat Doctor. The symptoms you are telling could be because of your heart condition. Gastritis or heart burn does not increase on exercise & it can occur on rest too. I would recommend against doing excessive treadmill now & would advise you for doing Tread Mill under ECG monitoring (Tread Mill Test) which can rule out cardiac condition if any. If that is negative, you can safely continue your treadmill. Come back if you need more help. Thanks |

HiI recently went for root canal treatment at a clinic. My question is what are the chances of getting HIV infection during this treatment. As we know during root canal dentist uses a airblow pipe , and lot of small sharp needle like instruments to clean the cavity. Do all of those sharp pins instruments sterilized or every time new set of pins are used. | Hello, thank you for consulting with Chat Doctor. It is good that you know that HIV spreads through pricks of infected sharp needles, but as you are visiting to a dental clinic the doctor must be sterilizing all the instruments before the procedure. And even the needles which he must me using for anesthesia must be new. If you still have a doubt you can confirm it from your dentist. Hope it will help you. |
My daughter has a very loose tooth next to her front teeth . When it wiggles, there is a small hole, where it SEEMS the root of the baby tooth is piercing out of ther gums! I ve called the dentist but they are on vacation until Monday, which is 4 days! The emergency answering service has yet to return my calls, ugh for at least 5 hours now!! Any suggestions to go to another dentist, or waiting until Monday to have it xrayed, or try and take the tooth out?? Her gums are definitely inflamed and hurts her, yet she is able to eat and play normally......i can help her brush her teeth and use kid mouth wash in the meantime.....any advice would be appreciated! | Hello & welcome, If you can see the root of baby or deciduous tootChatDoctoring out of the gingival, then that particular tooth is close to shedding or exfoliation. If gingival is inflamed, there might be slight infection in it that can be treated with the use of Antibiotics & painkillers by your dentist only. Usually, such naturally exfoliating teeth don't require to be removed by dentist unless creating problems like in the case of your daughter. If the root is pointing out of the gums then it may be hurting opposing tissue along with the gum. So, best advise here will be not to wait for 4 days. Just approach another dentist & get that tooth extracted as soon as possible before it creates severe discomfort or injures surrounding tissue. Simply removal of the deciduous tooth will suffice in this condition. Take care. |

History of your present complaints and about the surgeries you have undergone is noted. Lower abdominal cramps with frequency of urination can be due to an inflammatory process going on in the pelvis. The irritation caused thereby can have frequency of urination. Ultrasonography and X-ray of the abdomen in a standing position can help diagnosis. If these are normal you can request for a CT scan of the abdomen as well as enterocolitis to rule out intestinal obstruction, which might have occurred do to multiple surgeries in the abdomen. |
My son fell heavily on his knee 10 days ago. It bruised and had a lot of swelling. We went to a gp who recommended R.i.c.e which we have been doing. His knee is now very swollen on the inside and his ankle swollen and bruised. He is a bit more mobile but has trouble bending. Further investigation? | Hi, Most probably he is having a fracture at knee joint as the swelling has not subsided after 10 days of R.I.C.E. Also due to fracture he might be having a swelling at ankle. You need to take care of the bruise by cleaning it with an antibiotic solution like Detail and apply ointment like tobramycin. His orthopedic will recommend an x-ray to confirm the fracture and possible treatment. He may be given a plaster cast if the fracture is severe. If a fracture is ruled out on x-ray then the doctor might suggest an MRI. Till then continue R.I.C.E, avoid walking or any kind of weight-bearing as this will worsen the condition. Also while elevation take care of supporting the knee and ankle both. Hope this helps you. Let me know if I can assist you further. Get well soon. Thanks, |
I started taking birth control in September 2012. 3 months later I started spotting for 2 weeks, so I decided to get off the birth control, hoping the spotting would stop. A week later my period comes, but it doesn t seem like a normal period.. it was a thicker consistency. It lasted for a bout 4 days, and then the spotting started back up again...then 2 days after ending me period I start to get excruciating cramps on the lower right side of my stomach (more toward my pelvic bone). The first 3 days were horrible, making it hard to do simple things like sit down, or bend down to put my shoes on. But, then I noticed the pain decreasing after 3 days, and now it is more of a pain in the center of my abdomen . I don t notice the pain so much until I cough, or go to the restroom. (and I m still spotting). What could this be??? I read different possibilities online, such as appendicitis , or pelvic inflammatory disease ..others stated that it s just my body readjusting after coming off the pill.. I m hoping it isn t anything serious | Hi welcome to Chat Doctor forum. Thanks for calling Chat Doctor. Forum.

I advise you to consult a cynic surgeon for diagnosis and treatment. You may need to have M.R.I.besides other routine tests for confirmation. Wishing for a quick and comfortable recovery.

Hi there I am a 26 year old female and have just had my blood results back, all of blood cell counts are normal but my AST level is at 64 and the normal level is 35 and my ALT level is 84 and the recommended level is 37 . Is the alarmingly high? I had a very bad hang over a week ago and was vomiting bile and have not touched alcohol since. I work out at the gym and eat very healthy. Two weeks ago i also finished a one month course of amoxicillin to help with the acne on my neck. I have been experiencing aching mussels in my upper shoulders but this has gotten slighter better with passing time over the last week. Could my main factor be alcohol? As i am only 53kgs and my tolerance is very low. How should i proceed in this? Should i go and have further bloods done to test for further things? I am cutting out alcohol completely from my diet so in a month should i go and get re tested and see if my levels have changed? Thank you for your time. | Thanks for writing in Chat Doctor ! I have read your question carefully and from my experience I can say that your elevated liver enzymes are mainly due to alcohol use. Although your enzyme level is not alarmingly high but surely quitting alcohol will go a long way to keep you healthy. Another reason of increase in liver enzymes can be amoxicillin, as almost all Chat Doctor. This is not to be taken seriously, and they will go down on its own (as you have stopped amoxicillin and alcohol both). The muscle aches can be because of alcohol use, and it is already showing improvement since you stopped using it from past one week. If it comes back, one may need to look for other causes for this.

I am 56 and I weigh 160 (female). I have a history of sports induced asthma and actopic dermatitis. I have these red bumps on my stomach, back, waist line, upper legs, and arms. They are not itchy and they do not burn. However, when I run, my torso and legs burn. It started out as one bump on my leg with a black center and then spread to the other spots. That original bump on my leg grew, dried up, and left a scar even though I never scratched it. I have had the chicken pox before. | Hi there, Thanks for your query. From the information provided, you are apparently suffering from allergic problems. This includes allergic, exercise-induced asthma, as well as, atomic dermatitis which is due to sudden changes in temperature (called thermal-induced allergic dermatitis); or, cholinergic dermatitis.

I took my son 8 years old 70lbs and no medical history into childrens tonight. He collided with another boy at football practice last night and passed out for about a minute. This is the 3rd time he has passed out like that in the last couple of years. They did an EKG at childrens and it showed no arythmia but his heart rate was 44. They referred me to a specialist at the clinic. Just wondering if anyone has some words of encouragement. He is in very good shape and conditions really hard. Plays football, baseball, and wrestles | Hi....athletes usually have a slower heart rates than general population. But in general there will not be any passing out episodes like. As the kid is symptomatic (passed out thrice), I suggest we need to investigate for a heart block. Rather than taking an ECG once, I suggest taking a Holder monitoring. It is a 24 hour ECG. I would also prefer to get an echocardiogram done. The other which I would prefer to do will be an EEG. Once all of these 3 tests turn out to be normal, then we can attribute the slower heart rate for his athletic training and be rest assured. Regards - |

HI i took mushrooms about three weeks ago and i also smoked marijuana when i did it. about one hour into the trip i had horrible chest pain and heard my heart beating extremly fast..i was scared but then it went away..After that ive smoke weed 4 times but all four times were painful and days after my chest was hurting but not too bad..i also smoke cigarettes and today i feel when i breath in very hard that theres something in my chest. maybe like air..i dont know what to do i havent smoked weed or done anything other than cigarettes in about 2 weeks now so that the pain goes away... | Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. You are a chronic smoker. So you are at risk of heart disease. So get done ECG, 2d echo and stress test (trade mill test) to rule out heart diseases for your chest discomfort. If these tests are normal then no need to worry about heart diseases. Better to quit smoking as soon as possible as this is not good habit. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks. |
I have been diagnoise with MRSA. I am a person who does not run a tempature unless I am very very sick. They did take a cultur and said it is MRSA and they put me on Clindamycin 300mg. 4 x a day for seven days. I have been on them since 18th and I still have pus coming from the place and have small ones that look like pimples on my body. I had three on my arm and that is where the pus one is. I am very concern since I have congestive heart failure and high blood pressur and my heart beart is irregular. I am sorry to bother you because I do not have a credit card I am on medicare and Public Aid. Thank you for your time and I apologize for wasting it. The area has pus and also stings. I have been on the antibotic for five days. | Hello, In my opinion You should take Clindamycin for seven days and if nothing will change go to Your doctor to change the antibiotic. Maybe the bacteria is Clindamycin resistant, so this could be the reason of no treatment effect.Also, You should show skin changes to Your doctor - maybe there is a need to make an incision and Chat Doctor. This should help relieve pain and stimulate the recovery process.\" Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus\" is resistant to several antibiotics such as penicillin, oxacillin, amoxicillin. HA-MRSA (health-care-acquired) are also often resistant to tetracycline, erythromycin and clindamycin. Hope I have answered your query. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help. |
Two weeks ago, I was twisting and contorting myself while trying to adjust my newborn s carseat base into our vehicle. Two days later when I was in the seated position (on the floor) and stood up abruptly I felt a burning/pinching sensation in my lower right abdomen, probably two inches to the right and down from my belly button. It hasn t gotten any better or worse since that time, although I ve now poked and prodded myself about 100 times since then so its probably irritated. I have a doctor s appt on Friday this week, but am curious about what is likely. I ve seen everything online from a muscle strain, pull, tear, to a hernia. On that note, I have no protrusion at all that is either visible or that I can feel when standing or lying down. I m a male. | Hi. Thanks for your query. The most probable cause of such a pointed pain in the abdomen right to the belly button can be due to appendicitis and must be investigated by ultrasonography and relevant blood, urine and stool tests. This may not be related to the twisting and contorting at all, as the pain would have been immediate or within a day of this. Please get examined at ER or by a Surgeon to get an appropriate diagnosis and treatment before it is late. |
I HAVE TERRFIC PAIN IN MY RIGHT HEEL AND HAVE BEEN ICING IT REGULARLY BUT I DO NOT SEE ANY DIFFERENCE IN THE PAIN LEVEL. IS THERE SOMETHING I AM MISSING | If you have been having more pain in the early morning hours and if it is at bottom of the heel and not at the back of heel, most likely you are suffering from a condition known as plantar fasciitis, which is not a worrisome condition. The soft tissue at the bottom of heel because of aging becomes inelastic and tight and cause pain ;more while walking. If the complaints are of short duration (less than six weeks) you will be benefitted with a short course of painkillers like diclofenac, physiotherapy including local ultrasonic rays and stretching exercises for the lower calf and plantar fascia.However, you will need X-rays and blood investigations like CBC, ESR, Blood Sugar, Sr. Uric acid, if you fail to get relieved after a week to ten days of the treatment. |

Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ? Please type your query here...i am in third trimester and went to hospital because I felt something come out of my vagina while peeing and didn t see it , for a few seconds I smelt differently, not bad just differently. the NP there took a swab and analyzed it saying that it isn t BV and that according to her experience that it looked like yeast. However, it appeared that due to that she decided not to analyze further I think. Now it is about 6 days later and after scratching one side of my vagina where it crevices with my leg, I see an oval sore about one inch long that is swollen and sensitive to moisture. When she showed me the test tube of what the specimen looked like I saw a thin milky liquid with a touch of gray in it . A few days prior I had a day of discharge that was so bright yellow it was that of egg yolk. I also noticed sometimes a trickly down my thigh on the same side of the boil of the same looking liquid she got from the swab of my cervix. Any suggestions on analysis of this, was she thorough enough, does just yeast sound accurate, no fever, no clumpy discharge. THANKS | Hi, Thanks for the query. I understand your concern. In 3rd trimester, vaginal discharge increases than before.vagina itself also bulges a bit because of low decent of the baby. The discharge is clear, there is no itching / burning. This differs from your symptoms. The yellow, milky white discharge & associated itching(which has caused vaginal swelling) , suggest a mixed vaginal infection. You should visit a gynecologist, get vaginal swab pathological test done . Followed by specific treatment (which will contain- Metronidazole, antibiotic, Vaginal pessaries). It is essential to cure the infection before childbirth. Thanks. |
I amon 500 mg Flagyl for an infected gland after a severe root canal .....tooth was ok however the root was soooo infected. I was on penicillin for a week, now this. It feels like it is healing, however I feel so sick this second day. How long will this last, as my body adjusts, or will I suffer for the 2 weeks I am on this antibiotic? Thanks | DEAR FRIEND. Thanks for sharing your concern. Penicillin along with Flagyl (metronidazole) is usually prescribed during root canal treatment, as it takes care of both aerobic and anaerobic infections very well.

Hi I am 24yrs old. 59 and 180lbs. Every now and then I get these severe dizzy spells which last about a minute and once theyve past I notice my taste buds are affected for the next 24 hours. This happened last night in my sleep - which ultimately woke me up and on top of the taste bud issues I am experiencing some short memory loss. | Hi, Thank you for posting your query. The first and foremost condition to exclude in your case is vertiginous epilepsy, where one can get short and sudden episodes of dizziness, often due to abnormalities in the temporal lobes. The other condition that can cause these symptoms is peripheral vertigo. Please consult a neurologist for evaluation. Please get back if you require any additional information.

Hello Doctar. I am two and half months pregnant. Actually i am having sevear pain in my left abdomen from first month and my doctor advised me pain killer. last month i gone through sonography and my reports are...... single intrauterine gestational sac with single embryo is seen- another approx 0.47 size suspicious echogenic area is seen in dependeny portion of gestational sac.....please tell me what problem i m going through.. | Hi, Single intrauterine gestational sac with single embryo means that you have a normally situated pregnancy with one baby in it. This is a good sign. As when a patient has one side abdominal pain in pregnancy we want to confirm if the pregnancy is in the womb or in tubes. For you, it is in the womb, so you can be reassured. Also regarding the small echogenic area, it could a BS a small collection of blood behind the placenta which gets absorbed on its own as the pregnancy advances. Hope this helps. Regards. |

I have been looking online and rightenied myself that this is cancer and i have been ignoring it.Im now wooried sick as the doctors arent open till mondayi thought it was just my scar from being cut when i was in labour but its worrying me as its adark patch | Hi, It is difficult to say without clinical examination. Many a time there are some fungal infection with similar features. You should not worry at all. Dark patch not only be due to cancer. There are other possibilities too. Do not get nervous. Have a gynaecologists' appointment. He/she can guide you better. Nothing to think about cancer right now. There are more common diagnosis to be ruled out first. |
I am trying to find a psychiatrist online to prescribe my medications. The DR that I was seeing previously is no longer with the same practice. I am prescribed celexa 40mg daily, xanax 2mg twice daily and adderall 20mg three times daily. This regimen was working fine for me but the doctor that I had to see the last time did not take my panic disorder seriously. He cut the xanax in half. I am struggling with the one mg twice daily and have had to take more than I am supposed to. Is there an affordable way to get treatment for my condition. | His had gone through your query. Celexa and Xanax both are good medicines for anxiety or panic attack. If you have problem with 1 mg of Xanax, and you are previously better with 2 mg then you have to consult your psychiatrist. So you can take advise from him. There are alternative like paroxetine /sertraline/Mizoram which can be used in panic attack or disorder. Regular exercise/meditation/relaxation/proper sleep/healthy diet can help. Still have query then feel free to ask me directly on http |
i am a hypertension patient, but may be due to heavy exercise done previously like lifting of weights while lying down, i am getting pain in chest specially during winter months.

Please do the needful for advising me and prescribing me suitable medicins. | Hi, Chest pain can be because of a variety of causes, the most important being due to heart for which you have already been evaluated thoroughly. The pain which occurs periodically is generally not Cardiac especially with the type of history you are telling. It looks most likely the pain due to muscle pull or some ligament injury. The treatment is with basic painkillers with muscle relaxant combination (like Tab Clovis MR/Tab Moral). You should also not do heavy exercise so at least 6\u00a0months. I will advise you to consult an orthopedic Doctor who will tell you the proper tests to be done and does and dots for the same. Hope I have answered your query.

I fell over 2 weeks ago on my knee on asphalt. It wasn t very deep but it still hurt! It has scabbed up and was healing good. Now two weeks later I fell on it again but in a gym and I pretty much just landed on the scab full force didn t scrap it or anything and the scab lifted and started bleeding but the blood was very dark and thick/clotted.

Both my feet feel numb but yet I can feel even in the toes. It is a tingling or numbness. My doctor ignors it when I ask him for a explaination. I had a grandmother that had burning in her feet expecially at night, my brother is complaining of the same thing now. I have an aunt that says she has pain in both feet and calls it neuropathy. I have been a smoker for 50 yrs but have stopped last year. Can you tell me what my disease is and tell me the progress of the disease you name.

Hi . Im concerned about whats going on . I think Im pregnant , but Im nervous to find out because I dont want to be devastated that Im not . My last normal period was Jan 21 . I always have normal periods . ALWAYS. I have a calendar that I go by . It said that my next expected period was Feb 18 . On Feb 17th I started spotting . I only seen it when I wipe . I never had this happen to me before . When my period comes on it flows and its never light . This went on for the remainder of the day then the next day it got darker , but it filled up half of pantie liner . After that I used tampons to see if he will be regular and it wasnt . It was just little spots of blood . Im nervous to take a test . Could I be pregnant ? | Hello, In the current scenario, please do get the pregnancy test done as you definitely need it and hope for the best. If you cannot read the urine test properly, you should go for the serum beta-ChatDoctor titles along with a trans-vaginal sonogram to clarify the issue. The spotting could possibly be due to an implantation bleed, but, it needs to be clarified. If pregnancy is excluded, you could be having slight hormonal imbalance which is common now and then whenever there is some stress, infection, weight disturbance etc. Such a disturbance usually gets corrected spontaneously. Hope this helps. |
sir i have foreplay with my gf yesterday.I cleaned my penis with towel before rubbing on its vagina.and i have ejaculated on her stomach and clean semen by myself.does there is any chance that she can get pregnant?alse please suggested the dosage of unwanted 72 tablets with possible side effects? | Hallow Dear, If before you ejaculated on her stomach, your penis was in the vagina, there is every likelihood that pre-cum could have been expelled in the vagina. Pre-cum also contains some sperms which are capable of causing the pregnancy. It is a good option to take Unwanted 72 pill. One pill preferably within 24 but not later than 72 hours of intercourse gives protection against the pregnancy. They have good success rate. The side effects include nausea and vomiting, delayed menses or sometimes early with Chat Doctor. Still if she misses the period, get her urine pregnancy test and/or ultrasonography done 8-10 days after missed period. Earlier these test may be inconclusive. |

Lymph nodal enlargement is seen after any infection / inflammation local or systemic.5.Vascular cause also one of the possibilities - gets scan for confirmation. Good luck Hope it helps you. Wish you a good health. Anything to ask ? Do not hesitate. Thank you. |

I am getting loose motions with abdominal pain, please help me | Hello Gurkha;welcome to Chat Doctor Loose motions with pain in abdomen can be due to infection of the intestines. If you are not pregnant and if you are not allergic to any of the medicines then you can take tablet-Oflox-TZ 1 tablet 2 times a day for 3 days which is a combination of Ofloxacin and Tinidazole both antibacterial and antiprotozoal.

i was just curious bcuz iv had pain for a while now on my lower back and lower area like I think lower abdominal area and iv been feeling sick and get really hot sometimes and feel like throwing up and everytime I cough I feel pain down there and sometimes it just depends what im doing ill fell pain down there like in the lower abdominal I think what its called like my tubes and such down there and my pee it kinda feels like its burning but its not a uti bcuz I know what those feel like iv had them lots. and today I notice that when I touched the inside of my right leg close to the vagina its painful. i just dont know what going on if its serious to go into a clinic or just leave it | Welcome to Chat Doctor. 1. The lower abdominal discomfort can be due to many causes, commonly low back pain / discomfort due to spinal degenerative causes - not associated with burning sensation while passing urine.2. Other possible cause could be PID - pelvic inflammatory disease - which needs a pelvic ultrasound for evaluating the cause.3. The cough associated with the abdominal discomfort is due to musculoskeletal pain due to strain on the muscles while coughing.4. The painful area on touch in the inguinal region could be an enlarged lymph node - which can arise due to any infection / inflammation it can be localized or systemic.5.Finally, I would recommend seeing your GP and get examined, pelvic ultrasound will give some conclusion to the condition. Good luck. Hope I have answered your query,anything to ask ? Do not hesitate to ask.http |

She had gastric bypass about 9 years ago and since has had a foot of her small intestin removed and hernia surgeries She complains of pain constantly and the doctors said that she does have scar tissue that is causing the pain. They ordered a RBC6 blood test what is this test? | Welcome to Chat Doctor. I am Chat Doctor. I think that they advised CBC.

You may try green tea, eat more fruits and green vegetables and go for more walks and become social.

You also have general infection of uterus, which has to be cured first because, if this is not treated, implantation of zygote will suffer, hence as your doctor rightly said, even I would advise the same of treatment of infection first and plan for IVF wishing you healthy pregnancy. |

My Uncle who is 73 yrs. old had by pass surgery to remove an aneurysm from an artery that was pressing against his vocal cord one week ago. His voice is still raspy & they needed to do more work on some other arteries but couldn t because they didn t want to risk him having a stroke . They are talking about more surgery for the other arteries (stents) and vocal cord for sometime in March. He is extremly weak and can t walk on his own, barely able to feed himself and now they are sending him to rehab at another facility. He does have high blood pressure, problems with his blood clotting, very bad rheumatoid arthritis (joints swollen & painful). Why so much weakness and as for another surgery I m wondering if he should possible not have it due to all the weakness he is having. | Hi, Thank you for posting your query. It is difficult to give an accurate opinion without having access to all the reports and the patient. If it is possible to upload the scan reports, details of the surgery and planned surgery, then, it would be useful. The doctors would assess his fitness to withstand the second surgery, before subjecting him to another surgery. Please get back if you require any additional information. Best wishes, Chat Doctor.

I got surgery last Wednesday. They cut my gums open & attached a chain to a tooth so they could pull it down. My mouth was fine the first few days. Now the roof of my mouth is swollen & cut up & hurts when I eat anything. The spot that they cut open is fine, it s just the roof of my mouth that s hurting now. What can I do to cure it? | Hi Dani, From your quarry, I could understand that you have a locked tooth which dentist is trying to pull by attaching a hook after exposing it from the gum. The pain in the area around the tooth is normal as there bone remodeling is going on. But the area of the pain according to you is center of the palate, I suggest you to visit your dentist as i don't know the position of the tooth which he is pulling. If you post me the OPG, I could guide you better. Thanks, |
Hello Doctor,I am male of 48 years and it has been quite some time that I have had sex with my wife. Reason for this long nterval is her poor health condition. In order to retain my normalcy, I masturebate regularly. Trust that by doing so, I am not causing any harm to myself and whether this halt in bodily contact with my wife will not lead to her ill health. | Dear service user, Thank you for writing to Chat Doctor. I understand your concern about possible effect of masturbation. You did not report which health condition your wife suffering from? Hence, you avoid sex. Per se, masturbation for sexual satisfaction is harmless unless both of you are happy. It does not cause any health hazards. Basic thing is pleasure and satisfaction for both of you, however you achieve. Wish you good health. |
Hi I have a 3year and 9 months old daughter who is suffering from cough and cold.i have started giving her Alex p( by glenmark). She seems to have some relief from her cough but just wanted to know how safe is it to give this drug to children and for how long can I continue using it at a time, just in case prolonged use may have some health risks. Thanks and regards | Hi...in kids 95% of cough and cold are viral and are self limiting. It is ok to use cough suppressants like what you have mentioned once in a while but, if the cough is going to be recurrent and if I were her treating pediatrician, I would consider allergic conditions like viral associated wheeze or multi-triggered wheeze too. Another issue of using cough suppressants for too long is Chat Doctor. Regards - |
The SGOT and SGPT of a 77 years old lady is 117.00 u/l and 103 u/l respectively.GGTP is 48.00 u/l. Other LFT values are normal. The patient is tested positive for HCV. USG (abdoment) indicates mild changes and inflamation of liver and thickened wall gall blader with gall stone bof 18 mm. Kindly suggest what medicine should be given to bring the SGPT, SGOT and GGTP level and other lever related problems. Regards, Karan | Hi Karen, Elevations in GOT and SGPT are indicative of injury to the liver cells. Given that the patient is HCV positive, the most probable cause is hepatitis due to Hep C virus. You should get the Hep C RNA levels checked to r/o active hepatitis C. She will also probably require a biopsy of the liver (if not already done) to look at the stage of fibrosis. The GB wall thickening in the presence of a stone suggests chronic cholecystitis, but in the absence of symptoms, does not need any intervention at present. |

Hello, My daughter is 2 1/2 years old. She had cold and cough was prescribed Zedex plus, Cheston and Febrex plus, these medicines continued for about 7-10 days. Febrex plus was given for only 3-4 days. Now she is fully cured. I have been seeing some vaginal discharge which is transparent and odourless from past 3 days. Once is was a bit light brown in colour. Is it because she was on anitbiotics febrex plus for a long time. i | Hi there! Thank you for contacting us. Yes, I do believe this is due to the antibiotics. It changes the normal flora (the normal bacteria, the good bacteria) in our bodies. She probably has a yeast infection and would need to be on a prescription to treat it. Sometimes we exchange one more extreme problem for a less problem. This is no long term problems with yeast infections, they are just uncomfortable and annoying. This probably won't be the only time she has one. Get her to the pediatrician, and they can get you a script. Thank you for contacting us. |
Hi Doc, I am 10 weeks pregnant just got my boold and urine analysis, m blood test have mchc count 35.4 and the normal range is 31-5 to 34.5 plus pdw is 14.1 a 0.1 higher than normal.Alo my urine analysis show blood(++) and pus cells 25-30... doc me scared really please tell me wat to do will my urine infection affect my baby... | Hello dear, I understand your concern. In my opinion the presence of pus cells and blood suggests urinary tract infection(UTI).UTI is the most common infection seen in pregnancy. This is due to influence of hormones. Nothing to worry as it will subside with a course of antibiotics. You can as well go for urine culture and sensitivity to know the organism causing UTI and for accurate treatment. So relax. The untreated UTI might irritate the uterus leading to pain and other complications. But if treated it's not going to cause any problem. Take adequate fluids up to 3 liters per day, cranberry juice to prevent UTI. Your blood parameters are also normal as slight variation might be there in pregnancy compared to normal state. Hope this helps. Best regards... |

Sir, I am selvin from India. Actually yesterday from 12noon to evening 5.30pm i was playing cricket, after playing was came home to take rest suddenly i had body pain slowly. While sleeping at 10.30pm i had severe body pain i cant even sleep, particularly in the Chest side. please give me the reason for this | It usually happens with many people if you are not a regular player on ground. Here you need to check do you have any breathing difficulty along with this pain?. Do you get this kind of chest pain with any strenuous activity or running as well walking for long or few steps.? Here if your answer is yes then I can say this could be related to your heart, and you need to go for electrocardiogram, treadmill test to get it evaluated and consult a doctor. But if you say this was the 1st time, and you never had any pain in chest even with strenuous activity then relax don't worry it's just a pain because you have played a lot and all body muscles are tired. In medical language we say there will be micro bleeding in muscles as well muscle soreness due to over use. But this gets all right on its own once you give some stretches and relaxes your muscles. You can also use cold and hot pack on your muscles pain area. I hope you have got the idea and take steps accordingly. Take care. |
Hi Doc. I just want to ask about the apico view. I had a chest xray examination the other day and the doctor wants me to go back for an apico view. What does this mean? Does this mean Im sick? Im worried. Your answer will be much appreciated. THank you | HelloApicolordotic view of chest is advised if there are suspicious densities in apical region of lung. Apicolordotic view is a special view of chest X-ray to visualize apical region of lungs. This view is necessary because apical region is covered by bony ribs, clavicle etc. Normal chest X-ray (PA)can miss the findings. This is not a serious issue. Doctor only want to confirm the findings and this is needed for better treatment. Take Care Chat Doctor. |

Hi I have a question about mouth sores. I went to my family doctor on friday but he didnt look at my sores at all because I had a fever and my tonsils were all swollen and with white spots on them. It was determined that it wasnt strep but he had me go across the hall for lab work for mono and something else I dont remember. Well he ended up sending me home with tylenol 3 and some time off work because of the fever. Well the sores in my mouth have gotten worse I think. I now have about 4-5 sores on my tongue they are mainly red and one is smaller than my pinky fingernail but whitish in color. Then I also have the roof of my mouth and my gums being very sore and tender to even eat or brush my teeth. I have just started yesterday rinising my mouth with peroxyl and that usually foams up my mouth within seconds. My roomate says my breath smells like it is nothing but infection. Any suggestions on what I should do? | Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Read your query.

It will subside on it own gradually within a week or two. Visit an ENT surgeon and have your tonsil infection checked up. Avoid stress and have a nutritious diet. Multi-vitamin supplement can be taken. If still persistent, consult an oral surgeon. Hope this was useful. Thanks and regards. |

My weight is 70 and height is 5.8. | HelloThanks for your query, based on the facts that you have posted it appears that you have been indulged in masturbation since many years and now facing problems related to sexual activities and general health.First there is myth in a mind of common man that excessive masturbation is the reason of all sexual problems But I would like to state that it has been discussed in scientific forums all over the world and proved scientifically that masturbation does not have any negative effect on any organ or system in the body. All the problems that you are facing now are mind related and due to anxiety. Following measure will help you to boost up your confidence and improve your health.1) Practice regular exercise for 45 minutes followed by meditation for 1/2 an hour in the morning.2) Take high protein diet rich in vegetables and fruits and vitamin A, C,D, E.and Zinc3)Take anti oxidants like Almonds 5-6 every day.4) Avoid alcohol and smoking. As regards passing leakage of liquid from urethra it is excessive secretion of Cowper's glands located in urethra which get stimulated with slight sexual stimulation and is nothing to be worried about it.

My period was late this month. I had cramping on one side of my lower abdomen for a few hours, on and off. Later, I started bleeding. I havent bled enough to fill a panty liner, maybe one or two spots, first brown colored and then bright red. Is there anything else that could cause that besides pregnancy? I took a pregnancy test before the bleeding and it said negative. | Hi, Brown vaginal discharge is most often associated with old endometrial tissues. In other words, if your period is late you might get a brown, rather than red, discharge. It could also mean that for whatever reason during your last menses the entire uterine lining failed to completely exit. And since your period is late this time round, it is quite likely that its because of dysfunctional endometrial elimination. So as long as other symptoms don't appear, you have nothing to worry about. I hope this answered your question. |

hello Dr. Goodmorning. I am Bala, i am having stomach pain and black stools for past 2 years. i went to docter taken general checkup and check my stools that time there is no issue. but some times if i am take any spicy food, that time only i am getting abdominal bloting and i need to urgently push to rest room. please assit me. | Hello, cbalamuralee, Black stool can be due to a number of causes. If someone is Tarkington supplements (Vitamin) that can make the stool black. Also, large doses of Bismuth (Antidiarrheal Chat Doctor. Charcoal is sometimes used for food poisoning canals give black color to the stool. More importantly, if there is slow bleeding inside the stomach, the digestive process makes the blood black when it shows up in the stool. You state that you have had stomach pains for the past two years. Also, spicy foods make the condition worse. To me, it suggests that you indeed have stomach issues. It is possible that you have significant irritation of the lining of the stomach, may be small ulcers. If you arising any aspirin, Ibuprofen or other NSAIDs, I would recommend that you discontinue these. Sometimes bleeding could be intermittent, so your still may not always show black color. If you are over 45-50 years of age, I want you to see a gastroenterologist. You might need endoscopy to look for small ulcers. If you have significant weight loss, if you are anemic, these are warning signs and stomach cancer has to be considered. Please follow through with your doctor. Wish you good health. |
