Hello , I have had four back surgeries. I have thirteen screws and three plates in my lumbar. A corrective fusion was done on 7/15/2012. I still get very serious back pain. However , I take one morphine pill 60 mil. At 6 am and the other at 7 pm. I take one oxycodonne 20 mil. At noon. I ve been taking these pills for the last 3 years. Do you believe in your experience that I abuse my pain medications? If so? How can you explain it? | Hello, i go throw your case history and I find out that you were operated 4 times for the spinal surgery. You should clear in your mind that corrective spinal surgery mainly meant for prevent complication and correct the deformity but back pain may be same or even increase after the surgery.I think you were operated for degenerative scoliosis, so degeneration of spine is not reversible with this surgery so back pain will be there, and you have to accept it and make it a part of your life. You can reduce it via medication back muscles strengthening exercise and hot fomentation. Thanks. |

I took her in the shower and washed her from head to toe and rinsed her eyes very well, she seems a bit better, under her eyes are a little swollen. I don t know if maybe its from the pill or if she got something on her hands (what idk) and rubbed her eyes. I called p.control earlier and the said she might a upset tummy and thats about it. What do you think? | Carprofen is a NSAID that has been more often used by vegetarians for animals.

my baby is 81/2 month old, because of nurses ignorence and less knowledge baby ddnt accept mother feed, i tried alot bt not succssesful now i really want to start giving him mother milk bt how and is this possible at this age . and when i pump it just shows drops on the nipples...pls suggest.. | Breast milk is the best food for a baby up to 6 months of age. After that semisolid need to be introduced as breast milk can no longer meet the demands, although breast milk can be continued till 1 year of age or more. But please note that breast milk is produced as per the requirement of the baby. If the baby is hungry, the baby sucks more and therefore more breast milk is produced. Once you introduce external feeds, the baby is no longer hungry and hence breast milk production falls. Breast milk production has already been depressed so long, and it is hard to start afresh at this point of time. Still, you may try giving Laconic granules 1 sachet in a glass of milk twice daily to the mother and see if it makes a difference in breast milk production. It should help at least to some extent. |

I had stone in my right kidney and had a laser surgery through my penis. However, the doctor told me that out of 7.mm he could take out 2.5mm fragrance out and the rest approx 5mm is still in your kidney and because my urine pipe is so small he could only have 1 chance to enter. However, he has put JJ Stent in my body and advices for drinking 3-4 liter water per day. I m worried if the stone gets out throughout urine or how. Please advice. | Welcome to Chat Doctor! If your stone comes out through urine, instead of worrying you should celebrate, because that is what we want. Double J (DJ) stent is put to relieve strain on kidney caused by obstruction, so that urine comes out via stent into bladder. This gives time to ureter, so that its inflammation/edema is reduced, giving better access to stone next time if needed. This stent may cause pain when after urination bladder is empty causing mechanical irritation to bladder mucosa, need not worry, for that we give painkillers. Also, this stent may harbor bacteria, so you have to take antibiotics, if fever is there, then higher antibiotics are needed. Yes, you should Chat Doctor. Take antispasmodics, analgesics, antibiotics with your Urologists opinion. Follow up with him for stent removal & further management. Wish you a good health. Take care. Regards. |

hi my chilsd is now 9 months old he s suffering from fever ..,doctor told he s got some infection and so liver swellon he gae some antibiotic .....but no other symptoms like vomitin or any thing only temperature is there ...please tell me wat can do wat s the problem | Hi... Thank you for consulting in Chat Doctor. Fever of few days without any localizing signs could as well a viral illness. Usually rather than fever, what is more important is the activity of the child, in between 2 fever episodes on the same day. If the kid is active and playing around when there is no fever, it is probably viral illness and it doesn't require antibiotics at all. Once viral fever comes it will there for 4-7 days. So do not worry about duration if the kid is active. Paracetamol can be given in the dose of 15\u00a0mg/kg/dose (maximum ceiling dose of 500\u00a0mg) every 4-6th hourly that too only if fever is more than 100F. I suggest not using combination medicines for fever, especially with Paracetamol. Hope my answer was helpful for you. I am happy to help any time. Further clarifications and consultations on Chat Doctor are welcome. If you do not have any clarifications, you can close the discussion and rate the answer. Wish your kid good health. |

Hi i have been experience palpitations around my solar plexus for around 3 years Ive been back and forth to the doctors... I did HP plori and when i was treated for this 3 times it went however the palpitation didnt?... The best way to describe its like having anxiety constantly, which I know I am not... this wears me how and I m now getting fed up with it totally | Hi and thanks for the query, Palpitatations and infection of Helicobacter pylori have actually no direct relationship. H. Pylori are mainly involved in causing gastritis and peptic ulcer disease. Eradication and control of H. Pylori should most of the relief the symptoms associated to gastric irritation. It might be very appropriate to consult a cardiologist for advice with respect to heart problems like palpitations that could have various causes. The first thing is making a proper diagnosis and distinguishing it from anxiety. Secondly, an ECG, Chest X-ray and Cardiac ultrasound could be appropriate in characterizing the palpitations if effectively present. Treatment depends on likely cause and effectiveness. I would advise you book an appointment with the cardiologist for a proper clinical review and management. Thanks and best regards. Bain LE, MD. |
I think I just had a panic attack. My surfboard fell off of the wall, scared the dog, woke me up. I thought the wall was caving in. I had a delayed reaction that spread from my stomach to my back and legs. Numbness and difficulty breathing. Is this a delayed panic attack? | Degree understand your concerns went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. I sincerely do not think that you had a panic attack. Panic attack is usually happening to those with anxiety disorders. For you, the incident was just fear and after. We do not call it panic attack. Even though the symptoms are same. Panic attack is for anxiety disorders. That means panic attack where there is no inherent fear inducing objects and still we fear. Actual fear is caused by physical objects which causes fear. In your case, you encountered just a fear. Don't worry. Please post a direct question to me in this website. Make sure that you include every minute details possible. I shall prescribe some psychotherapy techniques which should help you cure your condition. Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications. Good luck. |
My granddaughter is almost 4 days old. At her checkup it was discovered that she is jaundiced. Her level is 15 point something. They are sending a blanket/light device to my daughter s home to get her numbers down. Is this common and is there anything I can do to ease my daughter s mind about the effectiveness of this type of treatment? | Hello, I read your question carefully and can understand your concern for your granddaughter very well. I would like to tell you that jaundice is very common in newborn after 2nd day of birth and its physiological and most of the time it will go away within 7 to 10 days without any treatment. Rarely bilirubin level goes beyond 18 or 20\u00a0mg/DL. If the bilirubin level goes beyond 18, then baby requires phototherapy which consists of UV rays which convert water insoluble bilirubin into soluble form, which can be easily excreted from her body. Blanket is the other name of home phototherapy, works on same principle and its very common, so I would recommend your daughter to use it to ease the jaundice. It is also effective as long as the baby is healthy. But if the baby is not feeding well or has high grade fever or convulsion, then I would suggest you to admit in Neonatal ICU till the condition improves. Otherwise, no need to worry and use bill blanket to reduce the levels of bilirubin, which mostly become normal within 2 weeks or so. Hope this will help and feel free to ask any of your further queries directly to me anytime, I will be happy to guide you in right direction. |

As a Urologist, let me advise you, that treatment of your condition is routine. You don't need to worry at all. Bladder stone is treated with the ureteric stones in one single procedure.

My child is 4 years 2 month old is suffering from cold and cough from 15 days when a Dr is giving him medicines he is feeling relaxed after 3 days again he is suffering with same problem Dr says that he is suffering from Bronchitis I; want to know what is bronchitis what precautions should be taken ? | Hi, You should consider whether your child is having asthma symptoms instead of bronchitis. They are hard to tell the difference sometimes, but different medications are used. These two diagnoses also can be inter-related. Cough at night is a subtle sign of asthma and may respond to medications like albuterol or steroids. Asthma tends to cause recurrent episodes of coughing or trouble breathing, and can be triggered by colds. Bronchitis is a general term for a viral infection, like a cold, that has gone a bit deeper in the chest. This is not so often recurrent. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further. |

Lately, every time Im about to dose of to sleep my heart beat raises, and my breathing gets heavier. It goes back to normal as soon as I fully wake up. Sometimes I try not to pay attention and fall asleep. | Hi, This is Chat Doctor. Increased heart rate & palpitations can have a lot of causes. It can be normal sinus tachycardia due to anxiety or stress, or it could be abnormal supra ventricular tachycardia. For the diagnosis, you need to do ECG at the time of palpitation & tachycardia. If the duration of palpitations are short enough to reach a nearby hospital, we put a 24hr ECG monitoring (Holder Monitor). You also need to do a 2D Echo & thyroid function test to see for any associated abnormality if any. Thanks |

I am 33y female weighing 251, I cry in short bursts for no reason, I get angry at little thing, I feel like my chest is going to burst if things don t go a certain way at work, I sleep in 30 to 90 minutes patterns wking up all night long for no reason what so ever, the last week I have horrible nightmare and have screamed or cried myself awake, I am in contant upper body pain that I have been told is chostochronditis for 2 yrs, sometimes the thought of killing myself sound extremely appealing so I don t have to cook clean work try to come up with money for bills | Hello You are 33, and you are having crying spells, irritability. Ideas like your chest is going to burst if you wouldn't do things in a particular way. This is called magical thinking. You have also slept pattern in 30 to 90 minutes pattern. Also, you are having Costco Chat Doctor. From available information I can say that most likely these symptoms are due to OCD. Obsessive Compulsive Disorder is an anxiety disorder. It is characterized by obsessions and compulsions. Obsessions are intrusive ideas or thoughts which dominate the mind, individual tries to get rid of them but is not able to do so. These are invariably distressing and although the individual is aware of that these are purposeless still he can't control them. Compulsions are behaviors which are done in response to obsession to get rid of anxiety. In your case thinking that chest is going to burst is obsession and doing things in particular way is compulsion. These cause severe anxiety in individuals. I will advise you to visit a good Psychiatrist for expert opinion. Medicines like SSRI as Fluoxetine, Fluoxetine, Paroxetine, Sertraline etc. are used in higher doses for OCD. Other medicines as Clomipramine are also used in OCD. Behavior therapy like exposure and response prevention is other modality of treatment. Thanks |
hi this scan was done when i was 32 weeks 5 days are these results normal i have GD Single IUP cephalic heart rate 143 bpm AFI 76 mm placenta anterior cervix 4.3 cm BPD 77 mm 30 weeks 6 days, head circumference 31 weeks 2 days, abdominal circumference 305 mm 34 weeks 3 days, femur length 58 mm 30 weeks 2 days weight 2035 grams EDC 4/17/2014 | Hello, and I hope I can help you today. The combination of the head circumference, abdominal circumference, and femur length is used to calculate the estimated weight of the baby, which is normal for a 33-week pregnancy. I do not know what your original due date is, but if the \"due date\" estimated from the ultrasound is within 2-3 weeks of your original due date, then they do not change it based on an ultrasound result. The estimated fetal weight of 2035 grams is normal at 32 weeks 5 days. I hope I was able to answer your question today and that this information is reassuring to you. Best wishes, |
My dad is 54 and has pain in his left testicle for 3 months now. Urologist first thought prostatitis and treated him with meds but his PSA has gone up and he still has pain. He went for an ultrasound tonight and we ll see dr in another 10 days. If this is prostate cancer would he have pain in his testicle or could it be testicular cancer? | Hi and welcome to Chat Doctor. Prostate cancers are mucChatDoctormon in his age than testicular, but cancers aren't the first thing to think about. This is probably prostatitis with enlarged prostate which is very often, and it is associated with pain in testicles. No matter, it should be frequently followed up by ultrasounds and PSA check-ups and if any abnormality is show prostatectomy can be performed which is almost a routine procedure today. There is no need to be concerned. If he notices testicular swelling or redness it might mean something but pain isn't worrying symptom. Wish you good health. |
I m a 53 y.o. female.Living in Louisiana .. Meds | Hello, Your food allergies come under salicylate intolerance and some foods (very high in salicylates) can cause itching but no rash. Vomiting to codeine is an intolerance and unrelated to the food allergies. You could have urticaria and just like diabetes (autoimmune condition), you should get a complete blood count, TSH profile done with TPO antibodies to exclude a thyroid disorder. It quite often co-exists and a TSH alone is not sufficient to find this autoimmune hypothyroidism state. Long acting antihistamines and thyroid treatment (depending on results) could lead to much better control of symptoms. Thanks. |

Hi Dr, I have a friend, uni student, 22 years old have been diagnosed by the GP as acute nervous breakdown and been given nexito 10, sertima 50 and another tablet(1/2) for a week already. She has been taken to seek religious(Buddhist) spiritual help too. Maybe she has been exorcised as Buddhist chanting seems able to calm her down. The question is should she carry on with the medication and if yes for how long? What are the side effects and whether any blood test can determined the side effect? | HiS he should consult a psychiatrist and a psychologist counselor to find out cause of anxiety.whether endogenous without environmental causes or some social or external stressful causes. As of now, for deep anxiety, breaking the spell is must for which the above prescribed meds are okay...once knowing cause, she could be tapered on meds and helped more by counseling. Meditation or religious practices if helping allay anxieties, It's good to follow.after all it's proven by physiologists the benefits of meditative practices on thinking, brain functions, cognition and behavior patterns. |
My grandson(26 months) has a rash on his trunk( back and front). He has been running a low grade fever at times for the past couple of days. He is also teething and has said his mouth hurts. Could this be serious like, scarlet fever? Might it be related to teething? | Thanks for posting your query at Chat Doctor. There are many causes of rashes with fever. Most of them are viral and relatively harmless. Scarlet fever is a similar condition but caused by a bacterium. Fever may also occur due to an infection acquired during teething. There is no cause of worry if the mouth hurts. It would have been better if I could have a direct look at the rashes. I would therefore recommend you to get it examined by your pediatrician who would be better able to diagnose it. I hope that helps. Feel free to revert in case of further queries if any. |
Yes I have degenerative arthritis in the lower lumber and stenosis in the lower back. One day I twisted in bed and heard something pop like when you crack a knuckle. After that my back felt better and I had no pressure, which was constant before. Then I started to get this pulsing vibration from the bottom of my right foot up my leg , back chest to my right shoulder. This was in Jan. of last yr., it gets louder when I m tired or startled. Feb. 22 I went to my Doctor, my blood pressure was up, and I was stressed and wired, could not sleep due to this vibrating.. Couldn t take meds. because it gave me side effects. Told doctor let me see if I can calm my self. Finally did. He thought this vibration was my blood pressure. When my blood pressure is at 125/72, I m still vibrating. I had an MRI in Sept. before this happened in Jan. Could it be spinal fluid. It drives you crazy. Sometimes it goes away. If I get startled it rumbles like a train. I hear alot of people complain about this, but no one knows what it is. | Hi, I value your concern regarding the symptoms. I have gone through your symptoms, and in my opinion your problem is over concern, do not be carried away with your symptoms, spinal fluid will not cause such symptoms, get yourself screened with MRI of back if you have doubts. Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow-up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions. Wishing you good health. Special note-Any medication prescribed needs to be taken after consultation with your personal doctor only. |
Today, I am having pain in my chest, but I find that it occurred after eating. Could it be GERD. As I have had this condition in the past.

You can use a proton pump inhibitor for that, empty stomach, that would help u a lot. Consult a general physician who can interpret your ECG to rule out any cardiac causes which as lesser probability.thanks/regardsfeel free to ask questions may god bless you with good health |
HI -this is for an Ortho M.D. I had 3 spine surgeries in less than 30 days, 9 months ago - One ACDF, Two Posterior (1 instrumentation, 2nd to remove bone fragments after suffering a compression fracture 5 days post surgery. ) I have constant upper back muscle spasms, and a ridge on left side of neck - Dr is just now mentioning muscle separation - (trapezious). Is this repairable? Thank you so much | If there is no new weakness, tingling or numbness post surgery and the symptoms for which surgery was done are improving, then physiotherapy is the way to go. You need to stretch & strengthen the neck muscles as well as improve range of motion of neck. No passive manipulation should be done by the physiotherapist of chiropractor. Only active exercises should be done by you under guidance of a physiotherapist & yr surgeon. |
Hi, I ve been getting freezing cold shake attacks where I can not even move. It paralyzes me and makes my teeth shatter . I feel like I m gonna die. I also experience dizziness and when I get up I feel like I m gonna black out. I have to struggle with my eyes to keep them open while talking myself out of passing out... What is wrong with me please help | Hello ! I understand your concern. I would like to know more about your age and the duration and frequency of these attacks. In my opinion the experience of dizziness that aggravates when you get up may be related to hypotension. The cold shake attacks may be a disorder called Epilepsy, although not very typical. You need to see a doctor, have a physical examination. An EEG would be helpful to rule out Epilepsy, followed by a brain CT scan if it's not normal. Hope to have been helpful to you! Thank you for using Chat Doctor! |
I am a 68 year old male. I have been taking Diavon for several years for blood pressure. My PSA every year for several years has been 2.4. This test has been done every year. The DRE and urine has been negative. These two test are done every 6 months. This month the urine and DRE was negative but the PSA was at 7.6 I had hip surgery 2 years ago and things didnot go well during the surgery. In short I lost and received 5 pints of blood. Other than a possibility of cancer, could there be some other reason for my PSA to jump from 2.4 to 7.6 in a year? My Urologist has me schedule to go back to see him in 6 months. | Hello, I understand your concern. I am Chat Doctor, Infectious diseases specialists, responding to you. Most likely it is prostate cancer. But PSA velocity will be more helpful in diagnosis. So do your PSA again after a six month and check for how much above they had gone. If it is much higher surgical option should be thought of. I will be glad to answer your further query. Thank you for your contact to Chat Doctor. Wish you the best health. Thank you, ChatDoctor. |
Two days ago I had a sudden onset of severe nausea and extreme dizziness and seconds later lost consciousness for a couple of minutes. Since then I have been experiencing light nausea and light dizziness on and off. I have been under stress lately with my Mom in the hospital for a month and visiting her daily. I take atenolol for high bp but has been under control for several years. My diastolic bp the past few days seems low 123/67 or so. Usually about 119/89 or so. Should I be concerned? Are the bp and symptoms connected? I am 54 female 125lbs. in good health. Thanks! | Hello! Welcome and thank you for asking on Chat Doctor! I passed carefully through your question and would explain that your actual blood pressure values seem to be within the normal ranges. The low diastolic blood pressure could be related to atenolol intake, but these values are not concerning and there is no need for any dose adjustments. The dizziness and nausea could be related to an inner ear disorder. If these complaints persist, I would recommend consulting with an ENT specialist to exclude this possibility. Hope you will find this answer helpful! Kind regards, |
Hi me and my partner were having sex and of course we used a condom, when he got up the condom was off and it was half way stuck inside of me but I got it out and his sperm came out of it but not on me but he s worried that a little did. Should I worry about it or go get the plan b pill? | Hello misunderstand your concernCondom was come off during the sex suggests slight unproductive sexual intercourse. There may be chance of sperm get inside the vagina and fertilize the ovum. If you had sex in fertile period of cycle then high chance of pregnancy.(4-5 days before and after ovulation). So I advise you to take Plan B pill to prevent the pregnancy as your sex was not fully protective. Take Plan B pill as early as possible with in 72 hours after sex. Hope this may help noncontact Chat Doctor for further query Best regards |
hi i am 28 years old female . i have pcos since the age of 19. i have married 1 1/2 year ago and face infertility. i use glucophage 500mg three times a day for three month and successfully conceived and i am now 8th week pregnant. my family has diabetic history. what medicines and precautions you suggest for me | Hi there,Congratulations on the pregnancy. There are a few things which have to be kept in mind in women who have PCs and have got pregnant. They have a slightly increased chance of miscarriage and have to be cautious in the first three months of pregnancy. You should continue gluconate, Folic acid. The gluconate will help control glucose intolerance and may helps prevent diabetes in pregnancy, which is more likely in women with PCs. Also since you have a family history of diabetes this should make you check for diabetes at 24 weeks of pregnancy and if detected diet, and insulin may be required. Do not get stressed, eat healthy food and go for regular checks to the gynecologist. Avoid putting on excess weight as that can also lead to diabetes. Hope this helps. Regards. |
What is parenchymal disease? In 2004 at USC Hospital my impression was small focus of parenchymal disease in the right middle lobe. A digital scout radiograph was required. Multiple high resolution transverse computed tomographic images of the chest were required. I am having difficulty in walking long distances, getting very tired. Could this be my problem. No action was taken to treat this disease. Thanks, Jean | Hello Lung parenchymal disease means disease in lung tissue proper. Findings suggest small parenchymal focus in right middle lobe. It may be due to many reasons like infection, inflammation,tumor etc. Generally it is due to infection, and firstly I prescribe broad spectrum antibiotics. You also need clinical correlation and follow-up scan. Most likely tiredness is due to some other reasons. You need proper clinical evaluation and investigations. Investigations include routine hologram, random blood sugar, lipid profile, liver function test, renal function test, urine RE/ME. Take Care Chat Doctor. |
I get these stabbing pains in my chests often. That seems to pass right through into my back. Breathing hurts, but I can breath. I know its not gas since its above my chest on my left side mostly. Rarely on the other side. Or sometimes right under my breasts. Its scary when I get it, especially when Im driving, because I tend to ball up when it strikes. What could be causing this? | Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Since your chest discomfort is associated with specific position (Chat Doctor. But better to first rule out heart related diseases because left sided chest discomfort is common in heart diseases. So first get done ECG and 2d echo. If both these are normal then no need to worry about heart diseases. Follow these steps for better symptomatic in muscle spasm. 1. Avoid movements causing pain. 2.

Hi, I had a chest pain like a stabbing sharp pain around where my heart is a week ago - lasted approx 5 seconds and has left me with a soreness / pulling pain at the top and bottom of deep breaths. No cough with this, I feel breathless and feel like I am struggling to get my deep breaths but have had ECG, X-ray and oxygen sats done to show all ok. A duty nurse has now advised that my symptoms sound like Costochondritis - but I cannot find anything on the internet to suggest you feel like you are breathing through a blanket on one side of your chest. Is this viable with this condition? | Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Yes, Costco Chat Doctor. No need to worry about major heart and lung related diseases because you're all reports are normal. Follow these steps for better symptomatic relief. 1. Avoid heavyweight lifting and strenuous exercise. 2. Avoid movements causing pain. 3. Avoid bad postures in sleep. 4. Take painkiller and anti-inflammatory |
I used to take Diovan 80 MG for hypertnsion. Recently I had to undergo angioplasty and my bp reduced substantilly, sometimes falling to 110/80 or 100/70Should I continue Diovan? One doctor suggested that Diovan is not for hypertention but to stabilize heart. Pls enlighten me. | Hi, Diovan is a medication that regulates blood pressure and also has a beneficial effect on heart. It is possible that your doctor prescribed Divan not only for regulating blood pressure but also for those effects. Blood pressure 110/70 is good, but if you have tendency for a lower blood pressure, then Divan dosage should be revised. You should talk to your doctor about the possibility to decrease the dosage, the smallest dose for Divan is 40 mg. Take fearsome back if you have any further questions |
Hi, I think i injured/sprained/hurt my back somehow. it hurts just at the bottom part of my spine . I think it occured when I was trying to open the garage, and i didnt use the correct posture . ive tried to rest it ever since with continuous deep heat and application of a hot water bottle. There is still a slight bit of pain when I sit in the wrong position or stand for too long. Also now there are red spots appearing on my lowwer back. I am not sure if I should be alarmed or not??? HELP PLEASE!!! | HiT hank you for asking ChatDoctorI have gone through your query. Your problem is most likely sprain of lumbar (back) muscles. For my patients with such cases if no neurological deficit means I give muscle relaxants like thiocolchicoside NSAIDs like diclofenac and advise rest and ice pack application. Local anti-inflammatory gels also I prescribe for some. In case of neurological deficits or no improvement after this I send for X-ray followed by MRI if required to rule out any disc herniation or crack to spine. Hope this may help you. Let me know if you have any further query. |

Recently I have started to feel a small hole forming on the right upper back side of my gum. I used a camera to see what it was and it was circular and red. When I touch it with my tongue I can feel a small hole gradually growing. Im thinking that the bones are decaying or somthing similar because if I suck on the gum to puff it out it the gum fills up the whole but once I let go it rescinds back to its orginal possible and the whole is still there. Also it doesnt hurt. Should I go to the dentist to get it checked out? | Hiiunderstabfing concerns per your query you have hole in your gum. Well the symptoms you mention in query are probably due to gingivitis. Gingivitis sometimes create hole in gums. Well gingivitis can occur due to many reasons like food entrapment in Julius, plaque formation and most common poor oral hygiene. If there is hole in your gums you should consult dentist without any delay , because if gingivitis is left untreated then it will lead to another serious condition known as periodontitis. Doctor may perform oral prophylaxis (scaling and curettage)and may prescribe antibiotic course. For now do warm saline rinses, maintain proper oral hygiene and antiseptic mouthwash rinses (Listerine) . Hope your concern has been resolved. Get Well Soon. Best Wishes, |
We smelled of a burning tires and the wirst thing was our air conditioning was on so the smell was coming out from the ventilation of our air con. Is there any effect of inhaling the smoke of a burning tire? My daughter is asthmatic and Ive got a 6 month old son and a 5 year old daughter and as of now Im having headache and feeling dizzy. What shall I do? | Hi welcome to Chat Doctor forum. Thanks for calling. ChatDoctor. Forum. You have got the smell of burning tire from your air conditioner while it is working. First thing you have to do is get the air conditioner repaired, Because the fumes must be coming from the air conditioner due to burning of the wires in side it. If it is left like that it may continue to emit the same. As the fumes are of the plastic they will be thick in nature and deposited in the nose and bronchial tree, and cause irritation of the respiratory system. You have got headache and dizziness, you would have inhaled more, it may be cleared in span of 1 hour, if you don't get relief, consult a physician. Regarding child Chat Doctor. Wishing that everything is fine. Best regards. |

Hello, I received a physical and a CBC but was not ill. My blood counts were low (red, platelets, neutrophils, white) and was advised to stop drinking alcohol. I consistently had 2 drinks per night, every night for about 6 years. Six months later, my blood counts all increased after quitting alcohol (red form 4.01 to 5.22, platelets from 110 to 242, hemoglobin, hematocrit, neutrophils from 1.5 to 2.0), but my overall white cells went from 3.1 to only 3.9. Many things I read online associate low blood counts potentially to hiv. I have not been involved in risky behavior for many years. Should I be concerned? Thank you. | HiT hanks for your queryBased on your query, my opinion is1. RBC's and platelet count is within normal limits, WBC count is on the lower side of normal.2. You should not be concerned about these values as long as you are asymptomatic.3. Low counts need not necessarily mean HIV associated. There are many more causes for low counts, commonly when the marrow is suppressed by infectious or hereditary cause.4. Since your counts are back to normal, DI not both much. Hope this helpsRegards |

One tablet is taken every day for 21 days, and you then have a seven-day break from pill-taking. Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further. |
Had knee surgery a few weeks back, had two small incisions, and now where the sutures were I have two lumps the size of golf balls directly below the knee cap.

I read and understand your concern. I am Chat Doctor answering your concern. No, it not looks like infection its kind of inflammation or scarring. If it is infection than you must be progressed to your symptoms like increase on swelling and discharge etc. I suggest you to take the medications as prescribed by your doctors.

I need to lower my ast,alt before my bllod test in 12 days. It happened before over 2 years ago and I stopped drinking for 3 weeks and all was normal. I was very sick at the last time and only 109 lbs. till they dignosised I had Barrette,s esphogus diease. Now I am healthy at 129 lbs. I do drink but also only wine sparkling water because acidity is to much. Will not drinking for 12 work at not drinking before my blood test,,,,,,,,, | Hi, I understand your concerns and I will explain what needs to be done. Usually, for a liver to properly heal itself, and enzymes to get back to normal needs around 30 days to 60 days or even more without alcohol. Twelve days without alcohol, probably will not help to lower ALT/AST enzymes at normal range. Here are some advice to help your liver heal, your liver enzymes get back at normal. - Eat fresh fruits and vegetables-have plenty of water-Normal exercise like yoga, or walking to the park 3 or 4 times per week-Have a low fat diet and alcohol-free. But since you Chat Doctor. Red wine has a lot of antioxidants that can keep your heart at shape. Just try to not abuse since you had Barrettes esophagus. Hope I have answered your query. If you have any other question, feel free to ask me. |
hello, 5 days ago i had an angioplasty procedure done, ive been recovering ok finding it hard to sleep on my side as this seems to bring on angina like chest pain which goes on its own within a minute of me laying on my back. yesturday i felt a tightness in my chest whilst at rest and found i had to use my angina spray on 4 occasions within 24hrs, is this a normal part of recovery or should i consult medical advise? | Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. No, this is not part of normal recovery and so you should definitely consult your cardiologist for this. Sometimes restenosis of Stent is the cause for such angina like pain. So get done ECG and 2d echo to rule out this. If both these are normal then no need to worry about any hear related pain. Sometimes, musculoskeletal pain can be the cause. So apply warm water pad on affected areas and take painkiller like ibuprofen. Avoid bad postures in sleep and movements causing pain. Don't worry, you will be alright but first rule out cardiac chest pain. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks. |

Hips take care of the alterations in gait and hence the prominence of hips while walking with increasing age the angle of scoliosis increases. If the angle is more than a certain extent, it needs surgical correction. If it is below a certain extent, braces can be used to correct the deformity to some extent. You need to be evaluated with the help of X-rays and Cobb's angle measured over X-rays. Kindly consult an orthopedic for further evaluation. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. I wish you the best. Thank you. |

The patient is about 79 years old having a relatively sound physique. His blood sugar level and blood pressure is quite normal. He is a patient of orthoporosis especially in his knee joints. Recently, it has been observed that momentarily his hand or leg trembles during daily routine work. This happened nearly 2/3 times within a span of last 15 days. At this stage, a short rest followed by little messaging relieves him of the problem. My query is, what may be the possible reason for such disorder ? What type of medication, he should adopt to restrict such problem ? My physician has adviced him to take Nurokind Plus Capsule once in each day for next one month. whether this is a right line of action. Please advice. | Hi, Trembling of hands and legs is usually not related to musculoskeletal system, it usually occurs from neurological causes. It may be a result of simple age related degenerative process or start something grave like Parkinsonism. Patient need to have a proper physical examination and appropriate brain investigations like EEG or MRI (brain). Take care. Hope I have answered your question.

My wife is diagnosed as suffering from Cerebellar Ataxia for the past eight months. No improvement in her since that time. She is bed-ridden and practically has no control on movement of any organ of the body. Doctors have got all possible tests done including genetic study for SCA which has no confirmation. She is under no medication. Suggest some course of action please! | Hi, Unfortunately, a diagnosis of cerebellar ataxia is made on clinical grounds, which can be supported by genetic studies which may elucidate the specific TYPE she could be suffering from, however, no medication is currently available to treat the condition. Depending upon her other symptoms such as headaches (if associated), eye movement abnormalities (if associated), dizziness there could be medications to treat or ameliorate. Also, laboratory analysis could be performed to rule out things such as B12, D deficiencies, as well as heavy metal toxicities. Hope I have answered your query.

Can you tell me more about an elevated red blood cell along with elevated bilirubin levels ... in addition, I have been anemic for many years? Would these symptoms point to liver disease? I do not drink alcohol ... it has been at least 5 years since a drink and, even then, I did not drink alot in my life.Thanks for any responses. | Hi, Thanks for asking. Based on your query, my opinion is as follows.1. If you are having an elevated RBC count with anemia, it is possibly microcytic hypodermic anemia. Serum ferritin levels and total iron binding capacity needs to evaluated to identify possible iron deficiency or thalassemia.2. Bilirubin needs to be classified into conjugated or conjugated. If it is more conjugated, it is possibly hemolytic anemia like thalassemia. If it is more conjugated liver cause will require evaluation.3. If conjugated bilirubin is rising, get an ultrasound abdomen to identify the cause. Liver biopsy may be necessary. More details of anemia and bilirubin necessary for further opinion. Hope it helps. Any further queries, happy to help again. |
My 11 year old daughter is having a constant pain just below her rib cage on her right side. This started after she was at basketball practice, running a mile, and vomited. She hasn t vomited again since but has complained of the pain in her side. Her appetite is good. | Hello, I had similar pain complaints in my office practice. Kids in the growing age, especially the pre-teens may complain about non-specific pain over the chest wall and legs. It is part of growth. It will come down by adequate rest and painkillers like ibuprofen (if not allergic). If the pain severe and restricted activities you may need further investigation and treatment from an orthopedic specialist. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Chat Doctor. |

Hello, Im having bad pain in my tooth and I see a little red line going from in back of that tooth a bit to the side of the tooth and it hurts A LOT my left side molar is growing its halfway grown but my other side (where my tooth is hurting) is ... I think now growing because Its high but its a lot of pain ive had this pain for like 1 month now | Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Read your query. Pain in the last molar will be due to acute peritonitis usually caused due to the impaction and infection in the gums around the erupting tooth. I would advise you to visit your oral surgeon and have it evaluated. A radiograph will provide a picture of the position of the erupting tooth. If impaction, get it extracted. If not wait for the complete eruption of the tooth. For pain ibuprofen will provide relief (if you are not allergic to any medicine). Amoxicillin 500\u00a0mg and Metro lag 400 will help in infection reduction on prescription. Do salt water gargling. Hope this was helpful. Thanks and regards. |
dear doctor, just this may, i woke up with a terrible pain in the right part of my chest. it hurts when i breath. then in june, i started having fever and dry coughs,the doctor said it was pneumonia. i took antibiotics and vitamin zinc and c, then it went away but the block in my chest only subsided. now the fever is back and sweating. the fever is only inside.what is it doc?im 21, 52 in height. | Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. You had pneumonia, and now you are having chest pain, breathing difficulty, fever, sweating etc. even after taking treatment for pneumonia. So possibility of either worsening of underlying pneumonia or development of post infectious bronchitis is more. So better to consult pulmonologist and get done 1. Clinical examination of respiratory system 2. Repeat chest x-ray to rule out worsening of Pneumonia. 3. PUT (pulmonary function test) for the diagnosis of bronchitis. You may need higher antibiotic if it is pneumonia. You will need inhaled bronchodilator (formoterol or Albuterol) and inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) (fluticasone or budesonide) if it is bronchitis.Don't worry, you will be alright. First diagnose yourself and then start appropriate treatment. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks. |
Hi, Im a 25 year old male. My abdominal size keeps continuing to increase ever since i was 22 y/o. think it could be genetic coz my mom also has this since i could remember.

Well, i dont feel its normal and its really killing my confidence. Help! | Hi. Thanks for your query. As you have rightly mentioned, and you have been advised by numerous Doctors, this may indeed be the Visceral fat. And there is a strong family history of similar appearance in your Mother. This can be well controlled by a combined approach |

Immediate care doc said its probably bronchitis and put him on biaxin. This is the highest its gotten. Gave Advil to decrease 15min ago. Any thoughts? | Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your sons situation and problem. In my opinion, you should consult pulmonologist and get done clinical examination of respiratory system and chest x-ray. He is having cough, fever (not improving with Brain), lethargy, weakness etc. So possibility of lung Infection (pneumonia) is more. And so chest x-ray is needed for the diagnosis of pneumonia. He may need additional higher antibiotics, anti histamine and anti-inflammatory Chat Doctor. Ask him to |

I ve been on LIPO 6 BLACK, after doing a home pregnancy test I found out im pregnant . Can the fat burner cause any harm to the fetus. Ive immediately discontinued the use of the fat burner. I m currently 26 years of age. | Hi,Lipo-6 contains stimulants, such as epinephrine and caffeine. These stimulants may not be safe for use during pregnancy. At this time, it is not known if Lipo-6 is safe for pregnant women. Because so little is known about the risks of using Lipo-6 products during pregnancy, pregnant women should probably avoid Lipo-6 products. As you have stopped it, it should not harm you. Get your ultrasound done. Consult OBI specialist |

Hello, last week My dentist did some work on my teeth . I ve got 2 fillings and new crown .But since that time I am waking up every night in pain . the pain shoots straight up to my ear. I don t know what to do now. And right now Iam on my 2 week vacation overseas and certainly don want to visit dentist in foreign country. | Hi, Thanks for asking the query, Pain in the filled tooth can be because of two reasons, There could be dental caries left beneath the restored tooth, when it reaches the pulp tissue causes inflammation of pulp known as pulpits. Or there could be presence of high points if you feel pain at the time of chewing or other tooth movements. I would suggest you to visit a dentist and get an x-ray done, accordingly replace the filling with the Root canal treatment. Take tab Coquitlam 500\u00a0mg twice for pain relief. Hope this helps out. Regards. |
hi, my husband recently underwent a a a opperation he has asthma but before he could control it but it seems now he is getting short of breath from the slightest movement, i,m wondering if when he was in the induced coma that his lungs were affected in some way | HI, thanks for using Chat Doctor It is possible that one of the medications would have caused irritation of the airway, but this should not be long term reaction and would have last normally only a few days. It would be best for him to be assessed by his doctor to determine if the shortness of breath is related to his heart, lungs or possible anemia (low red cell mass). He would need physical examination and investigations. Investigations may include full blood count, chest x-ray, CGI hope this helps |
I recently had a C-section 9 months ago. I had tried to have a natural labor at first and was in labor for over 24 hours and I pushed for 3. I had two epidurals. I had to have a spinal tap for my C-section but they had trouble finding my spine so I got punctured around 18 times. The one that was correct was too high in my spine and I had trouble breathing. 2 days after my C-section I had to get a blood patch done because there was a leak. Ever since then I have had terrible back pain that feels more like pressure then pain. I also have this sharp excruciating pain in my abdominal area a few times a day. It lasts around 5 minutes where I can t move without horrible pain. Is this normal or is it something I should be concerned about. | Dear patients patients do complain about chronic back pain after spinal or epidural tap for c section. But it lasts for few months or years and subsides automatically. Since you got sharp abdominal pain I would like to advise you to visit general surgeon for that. Also check your back if it has redness or something like that to rule out local infection. Don't worry much about back pain you will be okay within a year. |
Few weeks ago i got this lump on my wrist which got bigger its about pea size but its hard everyone said it was just grissle ive left it its still the same size but. Now I felt a lump on the right side of my neck i feels like its in my lymps gland but a day or two later ive noticed it get bigger and the right side of my neck i have found more on the back of my neck im very worried what could it be. | Hi ! Good evening. I am Chat Doctor answering your query. Even though it needs a clinical assessment to start with to know the nature of the swellings, the swelling in the wrist and your neck could be two independent entities. The swelling on the wrist could be a ganglion. The swellings on the neck could be lymph nodes as thought by you, and could be part of a generalized problem. If I were your doctor, I would advise you for a few blood tests like a CBC, ESR, and an FNAC of the neck swellings to have a cytological diagnosis for planning further investigations and management of the condition. 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. |

Hi, We are trying to conceive #2, I stopped breastfeeding completely 1 week ago after slowly decreasing her feedings by 1 per week until we were at none. My first labour was an emergency c-section can this cause longer than usual to become fertile again?I was wondering a few things firstly how long until the milk usually dries up completely as suddenly my breasts feel engorged from being fine for the past week.secondly how long until I will become fertile again as I thought I had ewcm a week ago but have also noticed again this week and am wondering if this is normal/possible??thirdly I have a tingling sensation in my vagina and cramp like feelings in my lower abdomin and was wondering if this was normal.thanks Kathryn | Hello, I would be happy to help you with your question. Given that you likely did not have a problem conceiving before, I would not assume that there is a problem at this time. When you are breast-feeding, this upsets ovulation which will then occur randomly, if at all. You only stopped this one week ago! The engorgement will subside within a week or two. It always goes better if you slowly wean your child over the course of weeks as your breast milk production will Chat Doctor. Once you stop breast-feeding, your cycles should resume a normal pattern within 1-2 months. It is certainly possible that the change in cervical discharge represents ovulation, but this is uncertain and will sort itself out over the next couple of months. In the setting of the change in cervical mucus, and the lower abdominal cramping, this might argue that you are, in fact, ovulating. Make sure you check a pregnancy test now, though, and otherwise be patient! I hope that this helps.

I have had feeling of nausea, but I contributed this to a recent upper respiratory infection. The nausea has come and gone though. I also sometimes get a sudden pain shooting through my breast. What could be causing these issues? | Hi. Thanks for your query and an elucidated history. The cause of the pain shooting through the breast may be due to costo-chon Chat Doctor. . The cause of pain in the lower abdomen can be due to intestinal infection which can appear after an attack of URI. Ultrasonography may help for the diagnosis as also a physical examination by the Doctor. Take a course of an antibiotic, metronidazole, probiotic, antispasmodic with painkiller properties for 5 days. If no response go for further tests of colonoscopy and CT scan along with the routine tests of blood, urine and stool. |

Hi sir, I am 26 years old and suffering from PCODs. At present i am on medication | HiT hanks for writing to Chat Doctor. There is no rule that the day of cycle should have that sized follicle. But on 9th day of cycle one ovary or both should have a dominant follicle of more than 10\u00a0mm which will increase in size at rate of 1-2\u00a0mm/day till it reaches 20-22\u00a0mm and rupture.

I have been living with a disease for a year and a half. The doctors havent been able to see anything wrong based upon lab results, but my body has changed. First, I had bumps on the back of my tongue then the red bumps or rather small knots flattened out and my tongue had white patches then my entire mouth and tongue began to feel different.

Because doctors dont know how my body looked before, they think this is all psychological, please help. | Hello, It looks like fungal infection inside the mouth and also in other parts of the body.

Does excessive masturbation(over 10 times a week) cause memory and hair loss on the head? What has the body lost if this pace is carried on for 10 years plus? I read about cerebrospinal fluid being a main component in semen and excessive loss of it through successive ejaculation could severely affect moods and memory. Is this true? I cant retain anymore, and it feels like a whole portion of my life just vanished from my head.Why do I get frequent erections?How does one recover mentally and physically from excessive masturbation that has lasted over 10 years? Please help a desperate person... | HelloThanks for query. You had been indulged in masturbation since many years and now facing problems like loss of memory and hair loss etc. 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. Please note that semen does not contain Cerebrospinal fluid at all. Though it is harmless, excessive and frequent habitual masturbation does affect quality of erection and delays ejaculation. Please try to reduce the frequency of masturbation by keeping yourself busy in activities like sports, reading, social work etc. so that you will not get free time to masturbate. Chat Doctor. |
