Hi, Increased white blood cells are seen when there is an inflammation or infection. As you have cold, it could be that showing up on the cell count. What type of cells are increased? Lymphocytes or Neutrophils?Also, the normal value of white cell count is changed from 11,000 to 14,000 in pregnancy, so hope this is kept in mind while reading the report.

Kindly get a 75 gm Oral glucose tolerance test done. Hope this helps. Regards.

Hi.thanks for posting query at Chat Doctor.HCV is a common cause of chronic liver disease. However, not all patients infected with HCV will necessarily develop chronic hepatitis. Since your Antioch positive BUT HAVANA (PCR) is negative, it means that you have NO virus in your blood. Praise to Almighty GOD, that your immune system was strong enough to get rid of the virus. You need not worry. Your anti HCV positive means that you were infected with virus in the past and the PCR negative means that you do not have virus in your blood anymore. Since you do not have the infection NOR the virus in your body, you may marry happily. You may repeat the PCR once again. If you have already had the PCR twice, then NO need. Wish you good and sound health and a happy married life. Hope to answer your concern. If any further questions, you may find me at

A problem which needs attention from the physiotherapist !!perhaps your mother is about 50 +, and as she fell the whole body weight must have been taken by the shoulder. In such injuries the damage is due to injury to the muscles and nerves. So the movements become painful and restricted. So, at this time a consultation with an or tho / physio would be helpful, as a diagnosis is essential. You are doing well with rest and heat to the part.

To help in local repair you may use Diclofenac cream massage, three times a day after local fomentation. The cream used should be up to the middle crease of your index finger.

Hi. Thanks for your query and an elucidated history. With a history of your multiple surgeries and present problem, I would think about intestinal adhesions as the first probable cause. But an additional symptom of constant urination gives additional/ another possibility of a problem with remaining kidney.

Hi, thanks for your query. There are several issues that can cause your lip, chin, or jaw to be numb after a root canal procedure. The first is that, in the process of filling the space normally taken up by your tooth pulp, the dentist has used too much filling material. Doing this sometimes results in the material penetrating to the main sensory nerve and chemically burning it. It is very common for overfill in rear teeth to cause lip and chin numbness. Once infection is present from perforation, however, medications may work, but if the problem gets bad enough, extraction might become necessary for you, just as it is with infection from under filling. Visit endodontist for this. Hope this is helpful.

Hello, you shouldn't be so worried since you were examined in the hospital. If you had something serious, I'm sure the colleague who examined you, would have told you so. You can take acetaminophen for the discomfort. Do not take it only when you have the fever but on a regular basis (every 4-6 hours) for as long as you feel sick. You haven't given enough data to suggest a possible diagnosis. Most low grade fever cases (like yours) are attributed to viral infections. Fortunately masturbation does not cause fever or our planet would have been a really hot place! I also suggest you consult your doctor for the fever in case you haven't seen signs of improvement already. Since you mentioned no other specific symptoms or signs suggesting any diagnosis would be risky. I hope you get well!

HI! Thanks for your query at Chat Doctor!In my opinion I feel there is nothing to worry. You have contracted viral infection of respiratory tract (It can be Rhinovirus, Influenza, Para influenza, RSV, adenovirus, etc.)The antibiotics will not bring relief but only prevent secondary infections of the tract. So I suggest you continue with treatment. Sometimes antibiotics cause upset of GI tract, so you can take a proton pump inhibitor and anti-spasmodic. Do saline gargles 6-8 times and steam inhalation. You can get few investigations done like blood culture for bacterial infection, gram stain of throat with culture & sensitivity to rule out Group B Streptococcus infection. I hope this will solve your problem. Take care!

Hello, and I hope I can help you today. Contrary to what many women think-ovulation does not occur on day 14 of a women's cycle... it happens 14 days before the start of your period. So if you have a 32-day cycle and your last period was September 21, you likely ovulated 14 days before your period would be due for October (the 23rd) which means you likely ovulated around Oct. 9th. The BST way to know for sure, however, is with an ultrasound (you must wait until at least 5-6 weeks of pregnancy) which can measure the fetus and make the most accurate estimate of your due date. I hope this information was helpful, and best wishes for the pregnancy,

Thanks for posting on Chat Doctor. Brownish stool is normal and not a cause of concern. For an infant of this age, passing stool 10 times a day is as normal as passing stool once in 10 days. In either case, you need not worry unless the stool is hard/constipated. If the child is eating well, there is nothing to worry. No need of the measures you are taking. Only in case of constipation, I would recommend use of glycerine suppository which will make the child pass stool. Formula feeds are hard to digest and probably responsible for the nature of her stool. Breast milk is the best food for a baby. Try to give as much of it as you can.

HI...... Getting all the wisdom teeth removed in a single appointment is something, that is usually not recommended, since it requires anesthesia, and it is a surgical traumatic procedure.

You need to maintain an extra precautionary measure for your oral hygiene. Have warm saline or Betadine gargles 2 to 3 times a day. Avoid smoking, hot and spicy foods.

Hello, I can understand your concern. Maxillary frenulum area has very rich blood supply. Hence, it is understandable that when your son was hurt there, he experienced a lot of bleeding that was difficult to stop without suture. Yes, use of pacifier may keep interfering with the healing in the area making your child bleed from the suture and wound area on and off. It will be good for healing if pacifier use is stopped for about a week until permanent healing has occurred and there is no chance of interfering the wound. In addition, as a week has passed, I would advise you to visit the surgeon again for the follow-up regarding the infection that may have ensued in the area compromising healing and causing recurrent bleeding episodes. If that was the case, the doctor will prescribe you antibiotics after examination of the wound and the healing will ensue. I hope this answer helps you. Thank you for choosing Chat Doctor. I wish your son heals soon. Best,

As per the history provided by you, your brother is suffering from a disease which needs so much of personal care. Schizophrenia is a chronic disease where medications should be used regularly. Mostly, this disease cant be cured completely. With medication, we only suppress the symptoms of the disease similar to diabetes or hypertension. So, when medication stopped suddenly or taken irregularly, disease revert. So, my advice is to take medication regularly and in prescribed form as advised by the psychiatrist. Regarding course of illness in schizophrenia, we commonly talk about Chat Doctor.  In schizophrenic patients, they gradually deteriorate in all fields involving social, emotional, occupational functioning. So, gradually they don't study, don't participate in family interactions, lack judgmental capacity, stop going to job, soon...so, my final advise

Consult a gynecologist for thorough check up and relevant investigations to find a cause followed by the specific treatment. You can plan a baby after you have attained regular menses with ovulation.

Sorry to hear that the post kidney transplant period has become complicated. My advice would be to leave the decision regarding immunosuppression to the treating nephrologist.

You need to cover for all the aspects including infections and possible rejections. Hope he recovers soon

Hi. Thanks for your query. Noted your history of a reddish purple bump on the butt crack, sometimes itching, very sore to touch for the last 2 days, had green slimy stuff came out with stool. The cause of the bump looks to be obviously an abscess, it would be interesting to see whether this is just a local skin boil or a part of the fistula in ANO. The green slimy thing with stool obviously indicates the infection of the stool/intestine. Both the conditions need a higher antibiotic, anti-inflammatory medicines and probiotics. I am better to get the incision and Chat Doctor.


Hi Rash, Scaling is a procedure for cleaning teeth which is followed by polishing to remove stains and any other deposits accumulated in time. Scaling as I am sure as your dentist would have mentioned needs to be done every 6 months. The external stains may go with scaling and polishing, but this does not result in whitening. Whitening of teeth is an entirely different procedure in which teeth lighten by 3-4 shades from the normal color or sometimes even more. This procedure is commonly referred to as bleaching. There are 2 types of whitening procedure. One is done in clinic called in office procedure and the other is done by the patient in the house called home whitening. If you desire whitening, please consult your dentist for the same. Regards
