Hello doctor, I was suffering from severe dust allergy for several years- with running nose daily. Now for the last one month I am taking Levosiz 5 1 tablet in the night as per the instruction of a doctor and now I stopped the running nose problem and feel very comfortable. Is it necessary to repeat to stop the allergy problem ? If so for how many days? Is it Safe? Any side effects? | Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor, The allergic reaction means when you are exposed to the triggering factor like dust to which your allergic, there will be release of mediators of allergy like histamines which will produce all the symptoms of allergic reaction. As you are known case of dust allergy, you will have symptoms like running nose, when these symptoms occur it will make you exhausted and tired. If you test your blood for absolute eosinophil count during the allergic reaction there will be increase in the count. The medicine like Deposit will help you to control the symptoms, but it is not going to prevent further occurrence of allergic symptoms, and you need to take it for longer period of time. This is a Chat Doctor. So I would suggest you to undergo skin prick test for the most prevalent allergens and identify the dust allergen causing all these symptoms and then try to avoid the allergen, or you can go for immunotherapy. Thank you. |

Ive noticed a strange lump on the lower far left side of my back close to my hip .. the lump feels like its inside , it doesnt hurt but it does concern me a bit.. however it seems to disappear then reappear is there any cause to worry? | Hi, dairy have gone through your question.

is your ziffi sternum necessary? i lost a lot of weight a year and a half ago due to pancreatic cysts, ever since my ziffi sternum has been prominent and uncomfortable, even when weight was gained back it was noticeable and tender. can it be removed or is it necessary? | Hi thanks for asking question. Xiphisternum protects upper chest from outside blow or injury. And xiphisternum attach with main part of sternum so its removal risky in putting whole sternum in damage that protect our heart and major vessels.Moreover, some important muscles attach to it. In short don't think about its removal. It is also not necessary. Your sternum might be prominent if you have vitamin D deficiency. So kindly rule out it.In my opinion chest x-ray done in your case to further clear your situation. I hope you will understand my concern. Wish you good health. Chat Doctor. |
i, mayI nsweryur health queries? Please type your query here... Good morning Dr Here i would like to ask you that my mom is suffering from CAD Double vessel Disease Doctors referred for Stent Implantation, Whether Angioprim is Effective at this juncture where from i get this tablets? Pl reply me | Narrowing of the heart arteries is generally classified according to the number of vessels affected (there are only three). When all three vessels are narrowed or very specific disease affecting two vessels, treatment (such as a bypass surgery or stent) is almost always necessary. For less severe forms of two vessel involvement or disease of only one vessel, the need for relief of chest discomfort or trouble breathing determines the need for these types of treatments. Regardless, everyone with narrowing needs medical attention and specific medications to protect them. Medications are obtained upon recommendation from your doctor. |
18 year old girl with symptoms of tmj. 3 years ago had a large 3 &1/2 inch by 1 & 1/2 inch epidermal inclusion cyst removed from in and around rt ear canal and told it might grow back because it was removed in parts. So dr performed a ct scan of neck. Rt side is good, but an elated 1.3 cm lymph node was seen on left side. Dr wants to follow up with a sonogram in 2 weeks. Should I be concerned? | Hello, I can understand your concern. As you had developed a cyst on the right side, it is possible that you might have developed the same type of cyst on the left side which may cause similar symptoms as you experienced on the right side. Alternatively, the condition can be unrelated, and the lymph node might be enlarged just because of bacterial infection that it may have acquired. Usually, such swellings are treated with antibiotics first as bacterial infection can be the first assumption. However, your doctor is advising a sonogram because of your history of a cyst on the other side. At this stage, I can help you with this little information that if the swelling is painful, it could be infection and in case of absence of pain, chances of a cyst are more. I would advise you not to worry about the situation as in any case, the condition is not severe and can be treated with medicines or small surgical procedure. I hope this information helps you. Thank you for choosing Chat Doctor. Let me know if you have follow-up questions. Best, |
i have recently been told i have spondylotic changes at the mid - lower cervical spine with osteophytic spurring and mild disc space narrowing at c5/c6. What doe this mean? i have a lot of pain in my neck and suffer from pins and needles in my hands, especially the right hand. | Hi, thanks for posting your concern in the Chat Doctor. Simply speaking, cervical spondylosis refers to a condition in which there is mechanical wearing of the intervertebral disc cushions due to lose of HY Chat Doctor. The surrounding ligaments also lose their elasticity. There is biomechanical incompetence. The joint space narrows down, annulus bulges forward and facets override. There may be abnormal growths or spurs on the bones of the spine. Gradually one or more nerve roots are compressed resulting in articular pain, tingling, numbness in the distribution of the affected nerve. For rehabilitation and conservative management, immobilization of the cervical spine is the mainstay of treatment. Traction may be applied, although it has no proven benefit in cervical pain. Superficial and deep heat therapy to the local tissue may help. Analgesics and muscle relaxants may also be taken. In case of progressive neurodeficit, intractable pain or documented compression of nerve root(s) surgical intervention may be needed. For any further questions, please write back to us. Regards. |

HI MY NAME IS ISHTIAQ NABI... AGED 24 YEARS...FEW DAYS BACK I FELT LITTLE ABDOMENON PAIN....DOCTOR ADVISED ME FOR AN ULTRASOUND... MY ULTRASOUND REPORT SAYS....ON REAL TIME B-MODE SONOGRAPHY, LIVER IS NORMAL IN SIZE AND ECHOPATTERN..... AN ILL DEFINED ECHOGENIC SOL MEASURING UPTO 77X51MM SIZE IS SEEN INVOLVING RIGHT LOBE OF LIVER.... IMPRESSION | Dear IshtiaqAs per your USG, you are having SOL in Liver, which is likely hematoma as per report. I would suggest you to undergo a liver specific (Traffic) CT scan or MRI to be sure about the diagnosis. In case, the diagnosis remains hematoma, then you should understand that there is no medical management for the hematoma. Surgery is indicated only in case of symptoms which may be varied from persistent pain to rupture leading to bleeding, compression of surrounding organs, bleeding inside the tumor (may present as pain, sudden increase in size of tumor or symptoms of bleeding like weakness and fall in Hemoglobin) or fall in platelets. However, you should not assume that any pain in abdomen should not be attributed to hematoma, although you should be vigilant to detect any sudden onset of pain which may be an indication for bleed inside tumor or tumor rupture. Regards Chat Doctor. |

I m on implanon , I ve gotten tested to see if i was pregnant because i missed my period for 2 months ,first time the test could not be read so i went again and it came back negative then i got the implanon insertion . I ve been told i was going to spot but yet no bleeding what so ever, my stomach gets really tight when i walk a lot, or when i work out . could i possibly be pregnant ? | Hi, Thanks for the query. As your pregnancy test gave negative result, there is less possibility for pregnancy. Implant can present with side effects like intermenstrual spotting, irregular periods etc. And some women may have amenorrhea also. It can also cause side effects like pain abdomen, cramps etc. So the symptoms you are having could be side effects of the implant. If you still have doubt regarding pregnancy, consult gynecologist once and go for blood test for pregnancy. If the test comes negative, the possibility of pregnancy is very less. If the symptoms persist, go for ultrasound once. Ultrasound helps in ruling out pelvic inflammatory disease etc. possible causes of pain abdomen and any abnormalities of the uterus can be ruled out. After ruling out these things, you can continue with implant with symptomatic treatment. Take care. |
Dear Sir, my mother is HCV + . She was given an IMinjection and after 16 hours my wife has got a very little prick from IM injection. There was no blood on that injection. Can it is possible that my wife also get HCV from that . Moreover,after how much time , we should got her lab test on ICT Kite ? | HI, thanks for using Chat Doctor If the syringe was previously used then there could be small amount of blood on it that may not be easily seen. Since the syringe was accidentally stuck hours after, however this would significantly reduce the chance of any transmission. The window period of hepatitis c is 8 to 12 weeks. This means that a test can definitively detect the virus by this time and give an accurate result. I hope this helps |

Hi , I am 26 years old and got married 4 month back. I am diagnosed with PCOS. Doctor has prescribed me Krimson 35 to continue for 6 month .

Because the high pressure puts a severe strain on the blood vessel wall resulting in weakening the blood vessel wall. Moreover, the high lipid and cholesterol in the blood deposit on the blood vessel wall leading to losing its elasticity. In this case, the blood vessel wall becomes weaker and more liable to develop an aneurysm. Second, the Chat Doctor. Third, you should do Kidney function test and lipid profile in the blood. The woman who take oral contraceptive pills or a hormonal replacement therapy needs to ask a gynecologist to adjust the dose. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

my CA-125 is 59 and there is a mass in my left ovary around 5 cm. Doctors are not sure what kind of cyst is it.I am assuming the symptoms are of a chocolate cyst. Doctors are suggesting laporoscopy but i want to shrink it naturally ... is it possible? Can this be a ovarian cancer? or cervical cancer? I didnt get PAP test done. | Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor. Mass or cyst in the ovary could be benign or malignant. In most of the cases on ultrasound we can confidently make a diagnosis whether it is malignant or benign, clear cyst or chocolate cyst or Desmond cyst. But sometimes the findings are confusing and in these cases best alternative available is laparoscopic evaluation of the mass. I think you should get a laparoscopy done, if not already done and if the cystic mas are persisting. Wish you all the best. |

Irrespective of treatment, such a condition generally lasts for a week or so. Your doctor has prescribed the right medicines, and it should be enough to treat the cough, but it might have been better if the child could have been given nebulization. Steam inhalation is a good home alternative for nebulization while the medicines might be continued. Water in the form of vapor reaches deep into the lungs and helps in diluting the cough and provides relief. You will have to be a bit patient but in case the child develops lethargy, increase rate of breathing or wheezing, you will have to take him to your doctor without delay. |

yes, i have been feeling for the past week, stomach pain i will get hard knots that u can feel rise on my stomach, i have been getting really hot then cold , i have bad headace and if i move around nd walk i will get real wak and start shaking, ive had this happen about 2mths ago andi was supposed to go to a stomach specilist but i never did and now its all returning. what to do im 20 years old ive had helth problems in the past | Hi and thanks for the query, I am afraid the headache and abdominal pains might actually not be very much linked. A proper clinical review might be required. A past history of lead intoxication or other metabolic disease is important in this case. An abdominal ultrasound, a colonoscopy, a microscopy are important exams that could help. Stool exams and occult blood exams are important. A past medical history coupled with a clinical examination by your gastroenterologist could be very useful. I suggest you book an appointment. Thanks and kind regards. Bain LE, MD. |
Sir I have lower back pain since past few months last three months are more severe I have MRI report which is as follows 1 | Hello, Thanks for your query. After going through your query I came to know that you are probably suffering from lumbar disc prolapse. It is confirmed by MRI scan. There are two treatment options. First option is rest in position of relief(generally lateral position with both knee bend), neurotopics such as mecobalamin and analgesics (Diclofenac three times a day after meals is effective). Sometimes strong analgesic(such as tramadol three times a day after meals) is required. Omeprazole before meals prevent acidity caused by analgesics. This method needs patience as it take longer treatment times sometimes up to 6 months. Second option is go for surgical operation(Discectomy). Back pain can still remain in a degenerated back but burning and tingling should be much reduced. You can discuss with your treating Doctor about it. I do hope that you have found something helpful, and I will be glad to answer any further query. Take care. |

I have lost two relatives over the few years and seen a slight deterioration in my mum now Not sure whether to go to my GP for advice or be firm and try and kick start exericse regieme.

Females suffer night sweats, hot flushes, mood swings, low mood, crying spells. These symptoms occur due to change in hormonal levels in a female of menopausal age. You have many aggravating factors also like stressful job, loss of close relatives, deterioration of your mothers' health etc. You are a single parent which also increases the risk. All these factors are further increasing your depression and anxiety. I would advise you to consult a good Psychiatrist for proper management of these symptoms.- Start exercise daily. Practice yoga and meditation. These things will help in keeping you calm.- Take balanced food and plenty of water.- Decrease the intake of dark chocolates and coffee. Avoid smoking and alcohol.- Medicines like SSRIs and Saris can be used in such symptoms. Consult a psychiatrist for proper prescription. Thanks |

I have several questions actually. what do these lab test results mean | Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor, Absolute neutrophil count of 9.2 is high value. Neutrophils are elevated in cases of bacterial infections. ESR of 37 and CRP of 2.6 suggests an inflammatory condition. Presence of 10-15 epithelial cells in urine is a non-specific finding. It is normal finding in females. Prothrombin time of 30 sec, activated partial thromboplastin time of 84 sec and DVVT of 51 sec suggest disorder of coagulation pathway. Thus, there is evidence of infection and chronic inflammatory condition. In addition, there is abnormality of the coagulation pathway also. Thus, you need to consult your primary healthcare provider for clinical assessment. You need to consult hematologist for abnormal coagulation tests. Thanks and take care Chat Doctor. |

My pathology report for seborrheic or actinic keratosis on my face had a mixed conclusion of keratosis atypia/surface cell squamous cell skin cancer. I have been using estrogen since 2007 for vaginal atrophy. Can 10mcg of estrogen cause this? I am fair skinned and have had sunburns over my 63 years | Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You may have keratitis with atypical or squamous cell carcinoma. It has no relation with your estrogen therapy. It is not responsible for squamous cell carcinoma on face. SO don't worry about that. Confirm your diagnosis and take treatment accordingly. Hope I have answered your question, if you have any doubts then contact me at bit.ly/ Chat Doctor. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Wish you a very good health. |

Hi, I have pain in my left testicle since sep-2011, since then i have consulted 5 different doctors/specialists but still no relief. I have done ultrasound of my scrotum twice, both times the doctor said its infection or cysts , but they are not sure, Urine tests are also norma, there is no problem in ejaculation, no blood in urine , but i still feel pain and dull ache in the back side of my left testicle. Please suggest what it could be? | Chronic scrotal pain is often a frustrating symptom complex both for the patient and the treating doctor, and my sincere suggestion as of now is to try and focus thoughts away from your discomfort unless it is very severe. Many patients keep shifting from doctor to doctor with little or no improvement. You can try taking medication like Pregabalin, Tramadol and acetaminophen combination for pain, and wear a scrotal support. It is unlikely that the pain is due to the cysts which are present in many men with no issues. If the pain is really troubling you and reducing the quality of life, you can approach a urologist for a trial of cord block, and see if symptoms get better. If they do, you will be a candidate for microgeneration of scrotal nerves with good relief in a significant percentage of patients. |

Hi, i am a concern parent that has her son in florida state. He has develop a horrible rash on his body. He does not have an Family Doc and has gone to 3 walkin clinics. One in Tn, and 2 in Fl. I am trying to make the right choice of whom to see. An allergist, or an dermatologist. His Job requires him to travel. He has not gotten relief and going on the third day today. The reason he checked in in Tn was for bad headache and his lungs hurting. He was told he got a bad flu virus and that many walked in with same symptoms. No rash at this time which was last thursday. Prescription was prednisone. The rash began three days ago in Florida where he resides. He travel due to his job almost every week. Rash showed up on chest and armpits then spreading now to legs, groin and face. Went in to 2nd clinic, Another prescription and ointment. then the third same day late evening.. NO help. was told they could not do anything for him.. Do not wish to go to another walk in now.. | HI, thanks for using Chat Doctor A dermatologist would be the better option between the two. A dermatologist can treat any type of skin disorder including allergies whereas an allergist would only treat an allergic reaction. The rash may or may not be due to allergies. Since he has the flu, it is possible that the rash is related to it, a viral exanthem. This is a skin reaction that can occur with viral illnesses. It normally resolves as the viral infection improves. I hope this helps |

I am 52 and have GAD and constant panic attacks all my life. I have been on meds off and on throughout the years and have been under a tremondous amount of stress for the last year. I take very low doses of everything as Im med sensitive. I have AVNRT and take a low dose of Sotalol AF for that. The psych doc put me on 10mg Lexapro in December along with .5 mg Klonopin for sleep and to calm the rolling panic attacks. Worked well for about 3-4 months, then I suddenly started gaining weight like crazy (always been skinny), and had no sex drive whatsoever (almost the thought makes me ill). I had a hormone workup that showed everything as normal, just needed a little progesterone. The panic subsided for awhile with the meds. In the last month or so now its as though my eyes and brain want to sleep 24/7 but I cannot stay still; Im very restless. I cant think straight. He titrated me down to start on Viibryd last week. I only took 2.5mg of the viibryd one day (his orders) and couldnt stand it. Two days later I still feel off! The brain fog is terrible! Can you recommend something else that I may inquire about at my next visit? | Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) is often a long-standing condition, as you say all your life you have faced it. Medications like Buspirone, Escitalopram may be helpful in your case. You also have a lot of side effects with medications. This is partly because people with anxiety disorder are sensitive to side effects of all medications in general. They are more alert and aware and even the slightest side effect causes more anxiety. It is understandable. You may ask your psychiatrist if you can be given benzodiazepines like diazepam for the initial few weeks or months till such time as the other medications can work. You have been on clonazepam (Klonopin) and it worked. However, it is not preferred for the long term. You may also consider Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in addition to medications. |
I have a large lump about the size of a lemon on my right upper adomin,very tender, it appeared 6 days ago, I have since developed a low fever and dont seem to have the ability to have a bowel movement. | Welcome to Chat Doctor .1. First thing we need to check weather it's a lump or lump like feeling with pain and fever.2. The possible cause could be infective etiology.3. If you are my patient I would have examined first and then sent for an ultrasound abdomen pelvis initially to find the possible cause and then if lump is there where it's existing from and what it contains and where all its involving.4. Following investigation and best for assessing the bowel pathology and better visualization of any lumps in the bowel will be CT computer tomography.5. After that once its found - an FNAC - fine needle aspiration cytology will be helpful to know the cells.6. But in your case I suspect some liver or gall bladder pathology with infective etiology. So please follow the steps Good luck. Hope it helps you. Wish you a good health. Anything to ask ? Do not hesitate. Thank you. |
Hi my 3 week old grand daughter fell off the bed and landed on a concrete floor on her head. This happened about a week ago and she cried a little afterwards but then seemed fine. We kept an eye on her and she did not have any signs of injury other than a bruise but she continued to eat fine and sleep normally etc. It has been a week and it appears that she has some slight swelling on her head but still seems ok. Do I need to be concerned? Can she have symptoms a week later? | Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query. The swelling on the head could be an inflammatory origin secondary to the impact by the fall, nothing to be panic, give anti-inflammatory analgesics like ibuprofen for 3 days. Give cold and hot fomentation over the swelling alternatively every 10second for 2-3minutes 3-4times daily for 1 day. If the swelling increase in size then consult an oral physician and get a radiograph done to rule out any fracture. I hope my answer will help you, take care. |
im 22 y/o athletic healthy excercise everyday for 2 hours i am now having chest pains n tightness at random times of day n mostly at night when laying down also feels like someone has there hands around my heart and are squeezing it feel like someones sitting on my chest all i take is whey protien daily after workout and i eat healthy...should i be worried or consult my physician | Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. By your history and description, possibility of stress and anxiety related chest tightness and pressure is more. But better to first rule out heart related diseases. So get done ECG and 2d echo. If both these are normal then no need to worry about heart diseases. Sometimes uncontrolled stress and anxiety can cause similar symptoms. 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. 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. |
My brain scan says this | Hi, Thank you for posting your query. I have noted your MRI brain findings. First, I would like to reassure you that these findings do not represent any serious brain disease. I need to know your age and clinical symptoms to explain to you the significance of your MRI findings. Chronic small vessel disease suggests lack of blood supply to certain parts of brain. The underlying risk factors could be high blood pressure, sugar or cholesterol. Volume loss refers decrease in size of brain. Both these findings are common in older people and tend to worsen with age. I hope my answer helps. Please get back if you have any follow-up queries or if you require any additional information.

Please help!5 yrs ago I had dermato fybro sarcoma on the stomach tissue. Had surgery to remove it and after all this time all of the sudden I am getting this big itchy red bumps along the scar line. . Have treated them with many creams and they keep coming back. Do I have to worry being cancer again?? | Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. Track malignancy is very common after operation for the cancer. So we need to rule out this first. So better to consult dermatologist and get done clinical examination of bumps. If necessary you may need biopsy of the lump to rule out cancer. Since it is coming and going with itching, less likely to be malignant. May be due to allergy or infection. Better to consult dermatologist and discuss all these. |
I got hit by a softball (bounced up and hit me...no line drive) about 6 inches above my ankle bone a week and a half ago. It hurt a little, but nothing terrible. I ran 3 miles the next day and a 5k 4 days later with no pain. 9 days in and it s now red, swollen, warm to the touch and extremely sensitive. I m concerned about cellulitis. Is this possible with no open wound? I am a 33 yr old active woman. However, I did just get diagnosed with pneumonia a week after this injury. What should I do? | Hi you had an injury with softball in your leg about 9 days ago and have been diagnosed with pneumonia a week after this injury. Now you have swelling and redness in the injured area, and you are suspecting cellulitis since it is red, swollen and warm to touch. I would think that probably a hematoma (Collection of blood), had formed at the time of injury which went unnoticed since it did not cause any problem, and mow it is getting infected. I would recommend aspiration to see if any abscess is there and if present would Chat Doctor. Antibiotics will continue if pus is there. |

With consultation with a local doctor we gave her the Amoxylin oral suspension (Fightox) and her fever has gone. But she has gone lean and now became little bit inactive. | Hi, For fever for 2 days, you have started on antibiotic without blood test. Please don't do that.

My step dad was diagnosed with tongue cancer in March 2012. He had part of his tongue removed, and neck dissection. He had 8 weeks of radiation and chemo. (June-Aug) Scans in October found cancer was still in his mouth and metastasized to his spine. He began chemo again and had scans in January 4, 2013 which looked like the cancer was at bay. He continued with chemo, and during his weekly visit to the hospital for treatment, new mouth sores had occurred. Scans were done again April 4 2013 and the cancer is active again, spreading more in the mouth, spine, now with bulging in his back and in the lymph nodes under his left arm pit. Which the lymph nodes under the left arm pit where new this time. Doctors said its time to stop the chemo, it doesnt appear to be working anymore. How long does my step dad have and should we be looking in to hospice? | Dear Makes, it seems your stepdad is not responding to conventional chemotherapy post surgery that is why the disease has recurred locally as well as in other parts of the body. I wonder if the new molecules which is called targeted chemotherapy has been tried on your dad which could give some respite. You can discuss with your doctor asking his opinion about the same. If already tried then it is better to stop any form of chemotherapy and give him palliative comforting medication under your doctors guidance. |

There is no harm in giving her a dose of deforming Chat Doctor. If everything else comes out to be negative, then you may have to consider and give a trial to antianxiety |

Delayed periods/ nausea, vomiting/ sore breasts/heaviness in lower abdomen.are usual signs of pregnancy Home Pregnancy test gives reliable results when it is done after 8 days delay in menses. You seem to have done it earlier. If it is, so please repeat it at proper time, it may be +ve the scanty bleeding you had might be implantation bleeding. Even if it is - ve . Simple causes like illness, physical or psychological stress can cause delay in a solitary period. Observe how is period this time. It may be normal. But in case the same symptoms follow again, you should get examined/ investigated for finding the cause (USG lower abdomen/ CBC/hormonal assessment.including, thyroid function tests as per a gynecologist advise) followed by specific treatment. Thanks. |

yes what are symptoms of hypoglycemia and and hyperglycemia? I have been feeling really sick for the last couple of months. I have a lot of other medical problems but this this one has really been kicking my butt. I have a lot of autoimmune diseases. I didnt think about diabetes until a couple nights ago and a had I had a fruity odor to my breath. I had not eaten and was drinking water. So thats what made me think about this. I have always ran 60 -90 blood sugars . I used 5 of my mothers test strips and her prodigy tester. I was NPO and had only had drank water. 1St at 9 | Hello, Symptoms of hyperglycemia As such there are no symptoms in particular. But in some following symptoms can be seen*Generalized weakness*Unexplained weight loss*Itching private parts*Increased frequency of micturition*Burning feet*Blurring of visionSymptoms of Hypoglycemia In mild to moderate cases, they may have giddiness, hunger,sweating, numbness tip of nose and tongue In severe cases, it leads to unconsciousness, and even coma. Reason for fruity odor to your breath is due to Ketosis as a result of your starvation. Your blood sugar recordings do not confirm the diagnosis of Diabetes.

Hi Doctor, I had chicken pox desease last week. so i had taken acyclovir tablets(valtoval 1mg). after 1 week i test my SGOT and SGPT, now the result is SGPT -92 and SGOT- 32... How can i down these levels.I actually had grade one fatty liver desease earlier as well as gilberts syndrome? | Hi and welcome to Chat Doctor. Thank you for your query. I am Chat Doctor, I understand your concerns and I will try to help you as much as I can.GOT and SGPT levels in your case are very low and I don't think that treatment is required at this point. You should just measure it in 1 month and if this is still too high then some disorders should be considered and these may be indicators of liver damage or injury from different types of diseases or conditions, and collectively they are termed liver tests or liver blood tests. So the next step is to look for certain liver damage and most common case is fatty liver disease. It should be confirmed by ultrasound. Other causes are viral hepatitis, cirrhosis, medications, alcohol intake or autoimmune diseases. To verify exact cause, US, bilirubin levels and tumor markers should be additional done Then appropriate treatment can be started. I hope I have answered you query. If you have any further questions you can contact us in every time. Kindly regards. Wish you a good health. |
I have had irregular periods since I started getting periods, and then I became pregnant last year, and at 12 weeks and no heartbeat, I lost the baby I was regular every 28 days, and that lasted for about 3 to 4 months, then I went back to being irregular, my husband and I have been trying again since then, and nothing yet...could something be wrong with either one of us?....it took 9 months the first time to get pregnant, and know it will be a year at the end of this month.....I am having cramps, and sore breasts, I know in order to get pregnant you need to ovulate, and regular periods would help with knowing when I ovulate, I just simply need help for the next step, I don t want to have to take birth control pills to get regular....help!! | Hello dear, I understand your concern. In my opinion before doing anything I suggest youth rule out the causes for irregular periods like overweight or obesity, stress, anaemia, thyroid abnormalities, polycystic ovarian disease(POD), prolactin hormone abnormalities. Even the above all causes miscarriage.Don't worry all the causes are treatable. So consult a gynecologist for the work up. Once the cause is treated your cycles become regular. You need not take birth control pills. Avoid stress or anxiety as they delay the pregnancy causing hormonal imbalance. Relax. Best regards... |
Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ? Please type your query here...One of the symptoms my uncle experienced pre heart surgery was burping, he hoped this would resolve post surgery, but it has not. During surgery he had 5 by-passes and the cardiac surgeon had already told him he had extensive damage to his heart. Can you explain the burping? | Hello! Welcome and thank you for asking on Chat Doctor! I understand your concern, and would explain that the burping is not related to the heart. It is related to a stomach disorder or indigestion. Anxiety can also trigger burping. For this reason, I would recommend performing a fibrogastroscopy. Eating in small portions and avoiding spicy food can help too. Hope you will find this answer helpful! Wishing all the best, |
I have had a bit of difficult childhood. I feel a lot of anger, rage or whatever. For the past few days its like its there always. I used to have anger problems but it is a bit different this time. I feel rage constantly. I feel frustrated all the time and I feel so strung up and Im not able to relax or just get out of the frustration. Please suggest any methods to release my anger in a good way. Any help is appreciated. | Hi. Thanks for your query.there are many reasons/causes of anger, frustration etc. and your narration seems more in line of anger, frustration due to anxiety. So if possible consult a Psychiatrist for expert help & medications like fluoxetine (SSRI) which may prove to benefit. Lastly the simple & age-old method of controlling anger which also has scientific basis is consciously counting digit backwards from 100 to 1 to control anger. Other methods are daily 30 min physical exercise & meditation, good luck |
I have a DVT factor 8, had this condition for 11 years. I have had pressure in my chest. I have a greenfeather filter. Today I went to the emergency room. They did test and stated after testing INR result was 0.97 low. No clots. They upped my coumadin after being on only 2.5 to 5.0. That was Wednesday. MY INR has not raised, I am worried about why it has not raised. I was sent home told to contact my doctor on Monday. Nothing was given to me to raise it. They did cat scan and testing and found nothing including a blood clot. I have been on 2.5 Mg. for a year. I have not had my INR checked until two weeks ago because the doctor I use to have said it was ok for six months to not have it checked. My new primary said that was not correct. Two week s ago I had a blood clot that the filter did catch. Was taken to Freeman Hospital where they did test, and even a echo of my heart, while doing a stress test. They said it was heart burn!!!! My primary said that was ridiculous that it sounded like I had passed a clot that the filter did catch. Never had this close of a call. Today the right side of my tongue swelled for no reason. The emergency doctor said it (the tongue swelling) was probably something due to an allergic reaction. I am not allergic to anything!!! They found nothing sent me home saying to talk to my primary. I am 42 years of age female never smoked, been in great health. Now these items are coming up. I am scared these doctors are not finding what is wrong even with my condition. Why would my right side of my tongue swell during this? | Hello, I can understand your concern. It seems that the swelling of tongue that you have developed has nothing to do with the DVT and pressure in chest you are having. I agree with your doctor that it seems to be an allergic reaction. I would advise you to take Antihistamine such as Levocetrizine 5 mg (Exocet) or Loratadine 10 mg (Forfeits) once a day for at least 5 days. If it was an allergic reaction, you should find immediate improvement in the swelling in 1-2 days. Otherwise, the cause is not allergic. The allergy could be due to anything that you have been exposed to through air, water or food. If the episodes are frequent, you should go for a blood test for allergy to find out what substance you are allergic to, and you can avoid exposure to that in the future. However, if the swelling does not decrease with the antihistamines or if it increases, then you should consult a dentist to examine the oral cavity and investigate further regarding the cause. I hope this information helps you. Thank you for choosing Chat Doctor. I wish you feel better soon. Best, |
Hello, my 3yr old daughter has just come to me complaining her vagina hurt. I laid her down to look and only think I see is a white discharge coming from her clitoris. Is this cause for concern, I was able to get a piece off but there is more that is stuck and she screams if I try to get more off???? What could this be!! | Hi, It seems that there might be having some local infection might be due to poor local hygiene and some irritation due to nail scratch resulting due to itching. Clean local part with plane water and apply antibiotic cream for few days. Clean local part daily while giving shower. Do not allow her to play in ground with dust. Wear short tight around thigh parts which will not allow dust enter inside. Ok and take care. |
I recently saw an article about a young, athletic boy who has ITP and is living with the ups and downs of a low platelet count. I am female, 51 yrs. old, and was diagnosed with ITP at 18 yrs. old. I did a 3 month diminishing steroid treatment, and then still had a lower than expected platelet count. I was told I had to have a splenectomy, which I did. My platelet count has been fine ever since, including thru 2 pregnancies. I have had timed bleeding tests to be certain that it would be safe for my children to be born naturally as well as while in labor, scalp samles from the child to make sure that the childs blood count was okay to continue with natural child birth. It was. My question is this | Hi, Thanks for asking. Based on your query, my opinion is as follows.1. Spleen is an important organ in immune system, specifically against calculated organisms.2. In ITP, spleen is the site of destruction and hence its removal will improve platelets count.3. Splenectomy increases risk of severe infection by calculated organisms and usually is last resort treatment. Vaccination is available against these common calculated organisms.4. As the age is younger for the boy, the risk of infection is present for longer time, hence they are waiting and watching to check for progression. In the young, chronic ITP risk is low and acute ITP usually comes under control. Hope it helps. Any further queries, happy to help again. |

Hello, I have a pain in the same place where the appendix is located. I had a stomach virus maybe 3 weeks ago and my stomach was hurting alot. They gave me some pills and that went away. But then I started having pain in the appendix area and I was sure it was appendicitis . I had the pain and low fever. I m 22, my parents took me to the emergency room and they did a CAT scan and said everything was normal even my appendix. Gave me stomach medicine again. But for some reason it wasn t hurting as bad that day. About a week ago it was hurting really bad, and now it s kind of a little bit of pain, but it makes my eyes red and I look really tired. I want to make an appointment to go to a gastreologist. But can anyone tell me what this could be, any ideas? It makes me really nervous because the pain won t go away, even though it s not as bad now. Thank you and I would really appreciate any answers. Thank you so much. -Yuriy | Hi, From what I understand, you are suffering with right lower abdomen pain. Yes, appendicitis does present with right lower abdomen pain. But if the pain is not very severe, and you do not have fever / nausea / vomiting, it is less likely to be appendicitis. Besides the CAT scan was also normal ruling out any chances of appendicitis. This pain what you have could be related to some minor intestinal infection; renal stones or minor muscle sprain. Adequate rest and analgesics like Motrin would be helpful in these conditions to relieve your pain. In addition, Chat Doctor. I understand you are concerned. But all the test and your symptoms are against possible appendicitis. This is more likely a sinister problem which should settle down in a few days. Cheers!!! |
I got recently married. Soon I discovered erection problems during mating with my wife. I loose erection just before penetration (i do not ejaculate till then). At times i have been successfull for penetration, but then the I dont last long. I ejaculate in few strokes only. Please advise. | Hi, Nothing to worry, this is very common with newly married persons. Due to highly sex excitement one gets quick ejaculation and even not having full erection. No medicine required. Go for foreplay for some time before penetration like kissing, pushing, verbal. This will give you full erection and high excitement to your partner too. After full erection go for penetration. If possible while doing intercourse change your mind else where other than sex. This will prolong your sex act. Do not feel guilty thinking my partner will think He is not powerful. Ok and take care. |

Hello my mother is now 60 years old. Her Uria is 75 %, creatinine - 5.6 , Kidney Seize - 6.6 cm ( Right ) and 5.4 cm ( left) . USG report says Cronic parancaimal diseas of both kidneys. Please give me your advice what will be the best steps to take to survive my mother problem and let us know the diet chat . I am working ina small company. Tulika Kolkata | Hi, Thanks for writing in. Chronic parenchymal kidney disease needs treatment with dialysis or kidney transplantation. If your doctor has still not mentioned dialysis then the condition of your mother might be clinically better to be treated without doing dialysis but creatinine level 5.6 is high. You must regularly follow up with nephrologist and try to maintain creatinine levels as low possible. A lower protein diet to minimize waste products in the blood. As her body processes protein from foods, it creates waste products that the kidneys must filter from your blood. To reduce the amount of work her kidneys must do, eating less protein might be good. Salt level must be controlled as too much salt can cause more problems. You can cook vegetables like cabbage, garlic, cauliflower, garlic, onion, spinach and pumpkin. Fruits like apple, watermelon, pomegranate, pineapple can be given. Egg white and fish are rich sources of protein and can be given in small amounts. Little amount of oil can be used to cook. |
Sir ,i am a 21 year old male , 183 cm tall and weigh 54 kg.Two years ago , I had a blunt traumatic injury in upper abdomen.I had pain in abdomen and cramping for around 3-4 months and then it gradually subsided.But I developed copious release of gas and diarrhoea ,and i had to rush to restroom 3-4 times per day.I consulted a gastroenterologist and performed adbominal ultrasound and complete blood count.Both were negative and no free fluid was in abdomen.The doc told it was IBS and gave medications.Though the diarrhoea reduced , the gas still persists.I feel tenderness in the area of trauma.Once , I deliberately exercised pressure over the area and felt mild pain.After an hour or so I had an urge to go to the restroom where i had severe diarrhoea with blood in stools.The next day I excreted white mucous.But after that ,I was normal.What should i do? | The present symptoms do not look to be related to your present problem. The present problem looks to be related to Enterocolitis. That is why you have blood and mucus in the stools. The area of trauma of the past is over the transverse colon so mimicking the experience. Proper antibiotic and Metronidazole with anti-spasmodic medicines will help. Get colitis completely treated now if you do not want to go into the stage of chronic problem. |

I have gone through your question in detail and I can understand what you are going through. Regarding the testis shrinking you need to get a USG scrotum done.

Hello, my name is Vincent and I have questions concerning my grandmother. Recently she went to the hospital for weakness and dehydration. Then to a rehab center to help heal the pain in her leg. But her visit at the center effected her physically and mentally. A month ago on the day of the hospital visit she could still walk and her mind was right. Now she s completely bed ridden and unresponsive. As in now we would say something to her and sometimes she ll look and acknowledge you, and sometimes not. My concern is will she mentally improve, or better yet what s causing the change? We were thinking it s her medicine causing her to behave this was, but I m too afraid to cut her off anything. Even if it s as needed. Sorry if this was too long. I m just starting to worry. Thank you | Hi, One condition that may have caused such issues is stroke. So, a neurological evaluation and brain MRI are necessary to evaluate correctly this possibility. If stroke will be excluded, then rapidly developing dementia may be the condition that is causing such issues. Discuss with your grandmothers doctor about these issues. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. |
Hi there I m 27 and in great health otherwise, but for the last few days I ve been having a pain in the right side of my head (feels deep..like in my brain or something). It happens when I laugh, cough , bend over etc. I m wondering if this is a cause for concern or what it could possible be from. Thanks! YYYY@YYYY | Hi, thanks for writing to Chat Doctor.

Hi, I have a herniated disc and the pain is radiating down my leg due to a pinched nerve. Aside from that, sometimes I feel tightness in my chest and heart pounding. I couldnt sleep at all last night because my heart was pounding so much and I was worried what was wrong with me. Does it have anything to do with the pinched nerves or is it something completely unrelated?Age | Hi, Thank you for posting your query. There is no relation between the pounding of heart and pinched nerves at the back due to disc herniation. Disc herniation can explain the radiating pain down your leg. Heart pounding could be related to anxiety. Or else, we need to exclude a cardiac arrhythmia (rhythm abnormalities of the heart). If your heart symptoms persist, please consult a cardiologist. Please get back if you require any additional information. Best wishes, Chat Doctor. Ly/ |

If you have no wound, then this is most likely a boil. You seem to have pyoderma in groin area. It is a bacterial infection caused by staphylococci. You consult dermatologist for firm diagnosis and investigations. Antibiotics like definite and anti-inflammatory Chat Doctor. Immunoboosters may be taken to improve immunity.

He is in ICU and doctors are treating him.I just wanted to know what would be the best approach/medicine as a treatment for this. I would like to know this, since am not sure whether the hospital specializes in it or not.Thanks for your replies in advance. | Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor, If your nephew is confirmed to have typhoid fever he can be given Tab WiFi 200 mg BD, tab action SOS, cap B Lactose OD and tab for vomiting. Typhoid is a disease which is transmitted by Chat Doctor. The main thing is to keep restriction of food in typhoid fever. In active disease, I suggest bed rest and soft diet.

I have a bruise on my..... well, about an inch above my pants. My kids noticed it a couple of days ago, and I just figured it s because my pants are always to tight and I slouch most of the time, but I just wanna know what other concerns there might be? It seems to have a texture, which leads me to believe it s from my pants. Stress (I m under a lot), exhaustion, lack of sleep, being overweight, food allergies? | Hi, Thank you for your query. I can understand your concerns. Purple striae-is commonly seen over abdomen in Bushings syn Chat Doctor. Bruising can also occur on lower abdomen with minor trauma like tight pants, if you have underlying bleeding or coagulation disorder. Simple obesity is also associated with the incidence of stretch marks on the abdominal wall giving similar appearance of bruising. Regards |
After 5 months of gabapentin in 2015 I am still suffering from what seems to be severe withdrawal from the drug. This feeling started before I began the weaning process off the drug. A therapist and myself agreed this was what was causing my anger and intolerance toward perceived transgressions toward me. Life has become worthless. I always feel sick with anxiety and depression. Busperone and hydroxine HCL take the edge off. | Hello, First I do not think they are with Chat Doctor. Most likely your depression needs better medications and this will help you to control your anger as well as intolerance. Although I am not sure of your age and past history of depression but trying a SARI will be better option provided your doctor agrees with this recommendation. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. |
I have pain above my left breast, radiating into my armpit, sometimes my neck and down my arm. I also have pain in the back directly behind the pain in my chest.. Years ago, a doctor told me it was a muscle spasm. It has returned and comes on especially late in the evening. | Hi, Sorry to hear that this pain type of pain is leading to trouble. Coming to the point, this kind pain should not be ignored as it is assumable related to heart at time. As you didn't mention your age I cannot say exactly if it is related to heart. But I would advise you to consult a cardiologist and also if possible you can take an Echocardiogram. An ECG is also recommended. You haven't mentioned your Blood pressure as well. So need to look out for that as well. In case all this test is negative then it will be related to the accessories you wear may be tight and restricting the muscles and leading to pain. But as I mentioned, on a safety note please meet a cardiologist and take this pain seriously. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Jay In Chat Doctor. |

my fiances penis all of a sudden went numb today, he was playing a board game and felt very weird..like his penis started hurting and then slightly going numb. He wants to know if this is caused by excessive weed smoking or excessive smoking in general... | Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. It is a known fact that cigarette smoking in general leads to impotency. Weed or marijuana smoking is highly associated with erectile dysfunction (lack of erection) and both of these in combination are too bad for sexual health in a male. Even otherwise, both these agents are highly addictive, and potentially dangerous as you must know. It is highly recommendable that he stops smoking both these agents as early as possible. He can seek medical attention for treatment of with Chat Doctor. It is not easy, and you, as fianc\u00e9, must persuade him and support him mentally to quit. Take care, Regards |
My foreskin will not retract over the glans during masturbation as it kind of feels too tight, however last night I lost my virginity and the foreskin retracted inside my girlfriends vagina painlessly without me knowing about it until afterwards when we finished. It is slightly sore today. Is this normal? | HelloThanks for query. You had difficulty in retracting foreskin over glans penis while masturbating, but it was freely retracted when you had intercourse with your girlfriend. This could be mostly due to tight foreskin that was not being retracted while masturbating due to devoid of lubrication However during intercourse female vagina is well lubricated due to vaginal secretion which helps in painless retraction of foreskin over glans penis. The soreness that you have on glans penis can be cured with antibiotics and topical antibiotic ointment Newsprint for 5 days. Do use lubricant jelly like Xylocaine Jelly while having intercourse. This will prevent injury to glans penis and frenulum. Chat Doctor. |
my son is 16 and his tongue is large and does not look normal. I have been trying to look up sublingual papilla, that is the part of his mouth that lis huge. He looks like a bull frog. He says it does not hurt. I have to wait to see the doctor and I am getting nervous. | With your query, nothing to get nervous in some individuals tongue will be little bigger than normal technically termed as macroglossia. Only problem with this situation is it may cause disharmony or misalignment between the teeth, but your son is completely asymptomatic so nothing to worry about it if you are tensed you can get an advice or suggestion from your dentist and general physician as well. Hope this helps you. |
My husband had his teeth removed and has dentures. Ever since he has had them, his gums have hurt. No one can help. He uses warn salt water, has had magic mouthwash, and biotene. Nothing helps. They hurt when his teeth are in as much as when they are out. Any suggestions? | Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query. The pain in the gums could be because of the fungal infection secondary to the denture(Denture dermatitis) use like erythematous candidiasis. Consult an oral physician and get it ruled out. It can be treated by using a topical antifungal like candid mouth paint 3-4times daily for 1 week. You can take topical anesthetic and analgesics like Anabel gel. Apply 3-4 times daily before food for pain. Stop using denture till the lesion heals. Maintain oral hygiene. I hope my answer will help you, take care. |
