Hi their am ChatDoctorI have read your detailed query And I need to say the information is quite aptly put will start by first stating that the symptoms are probably due to the hematoma. Understand that the skull is a closed space in which the brain is placed. So any added matter in a closed space will increase the pressure. That is a basic law of physics. As long as the blood remains inside, the pressure will be high. This therefore causes pain and discomfort. Headache is due to this. As for improvement, I cannot surely say, because I have not seen the MRI. However, you may talk to your neurosurgeon about elective surgery and Chat Doctor.

Hellowelcome to Chat Doctor how do you know you have seedling fibroid? Im asking because seedling fibroid is a term used for tiny fibroid discovered during any operative surgery. They are an incidental finding. They are so small that they are not even detected on ultrasound. Do no worry. All you need to do is get an ultrasound and a gynecological examination done once a year to monitor the size. If however you do experience symptoms of excessive bleeding during menses or cramping then you might need some medication.


Hi, Chat Doctor.  I welcome you to Chat Doctor VIRTUAL CLINIC. I have gone through your question, and I think I have understood your concern. Furthermore, I will suggest you the best possible treatment options. Please do not worry.  There are safe antibiotics available for use during the pregnancy period.  Antibiotics of penicillin group, cephalosporin can be used safely during pregnancy. Secondly if you are pregnant or trying to get pregnant, I will suggest you to opt for a healthy lifestyle, healthy diet and regular exercise regimen.  Include more portions of fruits, salads and vegetables in daily diet.


Hallow Dear, Novel DS Tablet contains Ormeloxifene as an active ingredient. It has got contraceptive effect; hence while you are on these pills, you cannot conceive. You do have a chance of conceiving after discontinuing these pills. Fibroid may not interfere in conceiving; however, the fibroid may cause complications of pregnancy or delivery. You may have to face miscarriage, premature delivery, etc. During pregnancy, the fibroid always increases in size and may have bleeding in it. After delivery, since the uterus cannot contract effectively, you may have to face excessive bleeding. Of course the size of the fibroid is not very big. So you may take a chance of pregnancy without removing fibroid. Left ovarian cyst needs to be evaluated. If it is corpus luteum cyst, it should not cause any problem. Ultrasonography ovulation monitoring will give some clue. If you are ovulating then you may go for pregnancy. However, if you are not ovulating, ovulation induction may be required. Please report to your Gynecologist before attempting any pregnancy.


Such types of symptoms some times can be seen in post pregnancy period. The pain persist due to laxity of back muscle and improper physiotherapy after delivery. Lack of rest also aggravates these symptoms. Back muscle strengthening and pelvic floor exercises will be beneficial to you. For this you need experts guidance by rehab specialist and physical therapist .oral calcium and analgesics such as ibuprofen will give instantly relief. 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.

Hi. I have read your question in detail and can very well understand your concern, and you need not worry about the white/yellow thing you are seeing in your socket. After the tooth extraction the blood clot forms in the socket acts as a medium through which new cells grow and the healing takes places. The white or yellowish thing that you are seeing in your socket is nothing but the healing tissues which in the initial phase of healing appears in white yellowish color. You need not worry at all as it is nothing serious and the healing is progressing well. Just keep following the instructions given to you by your dentist and maintain a good hygiene and keep away from smoking, Chat Doctor.

When you change position this pressure is lifted and there can be a sudden rush of blood to the heart.

Hi, I think you should go for some medicines and injections for growth of your follicles and track your follicles' growth by repeated ultrasound.

Do a urine pregnancy test at home after that.  You can try like that for 3 to 6 months. Also try losing some weight.  It will help you in responding to the medicines.  Also do a thyroid profile and prolactin levels.  Hope I have answered your question.  Regards Chat Doctor.

Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor. Thank you for your query. This bony growth that you have recently noticed could be a less exposed end of your upper jaw, now that your wisdom tooth is coming into place you could have noticed a change in your jaw. This should not be of any worry. But an oral examination would always be best, consult your dentist for the same.

Hello, There is no effective Chat Doctor. So as with any other viral diseases, the affected individuals should avoid contacts with others, take plenty of fluids, and take rest.

Separating eating utensils may be of benefit. Most of the peoples suffering from hepatitis A recover completely in 5 to 6 weeks time however around 10% people may have prolonged waxing and waning illness that may last as long as 6 months.

Degree understand your concerns went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much.  You are supposed to refer to concentration and attention as two. Attention span for any adult is maximum 30 minutes. Sometimes, a person can be attentive to an interesting thing for more than 30 minutes, such as movies or games. Concentration is attention plus understanding. For this too, span of below 30 minutes. If you are able to make your studies interesting and based on variable principle, your concentration level can be increased. Concentration comes only when you are interested in what you do. So please be passionate towards what you are doing or do only those things which you are interested in. It is also possible to improve your concentration level with the help of yoga, meditation and breathing exercises. Psychotherapy techniques should suit your requirement.

Hi, Thanks for writing in. Neuricysticercosis is infection of the brain by the dog tape worm. This occurs due to contamination of food and water. The neurocysticercus is an organism that occurs in 4 stages and the cystic stage is the one that causes most seizures. Since your has the calcified stage, it is a healed stage and less likely to cause seizures.However, the fact that he had a seizure since 6 years means that the granuloma might be causing sudden outbursts of electrical activity.

A single granuloma can be cured and might take months to years. If no seizure for 5 years then it is understood to be cored. He can eat non veg that is cooked properly in pressure cooker. Please do not worry.

Hi there, Thank you for reaching us. I understand your problem. Though you are not sexually active now, but you might have acquired a sexually transmitted disease(through oral, vaginal, and anal sex), when you were active. This most probably is due to a virus named Herpes simplex, for this you need antiviral treatment. Secondly it might be due to sensitivity to chemicals or irritants(contact dermatitis), or caused by allergies (atomic dermatitis). You should visit a gynecologist for this. In the meantime avoid known irritants, such as abrasive soaps or strong fragrances. You may find some relief through a site bath. This helps to relieve any pain and discomfort associated with the sores. This can be done at home by filling the bathtub with warm water that goes up to your hips. You may add a mild saline solution or baking soda to the water. While you can purchase small basins for site baths from a Chat Doctor. Hope it helped. Take care


Hallow Dear, Prolific is camphene citrate which is a useful medicine for induction of egg release in PCs patients. However, there is a thought amongst we Gynecologists that it should not be continued for more than 6 months. The chances of success become less after that. As you have very rightly proposed, GUI seems to be a good option for you. With prolific you are forming eggs; however, the oligospermia seems to be the apparent factor for non-conception in you. There are good chances that intrauterine insemination after sperm washing (incapacitation) would work for you. You may try it for 3 months. If this also does not work for you, then there are other methods of assisted reproduction like intracellular sperm injection (CSI), in vitro fertilization (IVF), etc. which you may go for after your Gynecologists advice. My suggestion is to try with GUI initially.

Hi, Thank you for providing the brief history of you. A thorough musculoskeletal assessment is advised. As you had a sports injury, the RICE protocol have to be implemented instantly. Now with the mechanism of injury what I understand is that the ball has hit the leg directly and after a few minutes the swelling has started. So there might be a compression injury to the muscles and the vascular system too. Which needs a thorough examination. Using the contrast bath technique will help provide the changes in the vascular mechanism and also the healing process. Also, for swollen knee, we need to check for any ligament injury too. For which an MRI might be needed after a sports musculoskeletal assessment. Later stages, with physical therapy you can regain the knee mechanism better under the complete sports rehabilitation of the knee. In my clinical practice, such cases comes with sports injuries and after a thorough assessment and knee rehabilitation the back to sports is achieved. RegardsJay In Chat Doctor.

Because of this, the acid of the stomach tends to come up in the esophagus and cause chest pain, indigestion, vomiting, burping, chest tightness etc. So avoid stress and tension, be relaxed and calm. Avoid hot and spicy food. Avoid junk food. Avoid large meals. Take pantoprazole and levosulperide combination on empty stomach twice daily. Quit smoking and alcohol if you have these habits. Don't worry, you will be alright with all these. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.

Furthermore, you can get the blood test for a better clarification and see a specialist for further management. Hope this helps.

Healthier may be mild variation in results. It depends upon many things like lab variation etc. We can't expect good results in such a short period. Increased ALT may indicate liver injury. It may be due to many reasons like hepatitis, alcohol intake, obesity,altered lipid profile, medicines,autoimmune causes etc. It may be due to alcohol intake in your case. You may need few more investigations like routine hologram, random blood sugar, lipid profile, viral markers, ultrasound of abdomen. I suggest tablet ursodeoxycholic acid 300 mg twice daily for three months to my patients. It helps in regeneration of liver cells. You may need few more medicines after full investigations. It is good that you have quit alcohol intake. I suggest follow-up test after 3 months. Get well soon. Take Care Chat Doctor.

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.

Hello. Thank you for contacting Chat Doctor. I assume that the procedure was carried out via the radial artery pathway. Complications, rarely serious, are common when this procedure is carried out via this pathway. However, it is very rare that the problems persist for, I calculate, almost 6 months now.

If it is without any pains, you have risk of infection if the labor does not start. If you are full term, you should be delivered ASAP. If you are premature, doctor has to do something to stop the leaking. From your apprehension, it appears that this is your first pregnancy (prime). After the initiation of labor, it takes more than 16 hours to deliver for the prime. So you need not worry. Please keep your laptop aside, get up, get your phone and call the Obstetrician. Your baby will not get hurt. By just sitting in a place, you are increasing the risk of complications of your delivery.  Chat Doctor.  I hope you have got the message and will take prompt action to move to the maternity home.


Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. In my opinion, we should first rule out arrhythmia and other heart diseases in your case. So get done 1. ECG 2. 2d echo 3. Holder monitoring (24 hour continuous monitoring of ECG). If all are normal than no need to worry about heart diseases. Stress and anxiety can cause similar symptoms. So better to consult psychiatrist and get done counseling sessions, try to identify stressor in your life and start working on its solution. You may need anxiolytic Chat Doctor.  So avoid stress and tension, be relaxed and calm. Don't worry, you will be alright. But first rule out heart diseases. Hope I have solved your query. Wish you good health. Thanks.

The medicines you have mentioned works only in some cases of osteoarthritis of knee. This depends on the grade of osteoarthritis seen clinically and on X-rays of the knee. Better is to go with the specific physiotherapy protocols made for patients of knee pain. Medicines have a limited role in cases of osteoarthritis. Consult some good orthopedic surgeon who can really guide you about the management protocol for osteoarthritis/knee pain.


Hi, If the MRI is not showing any cause for obstruction then you need not worry. Postcholcytectomized state can also give rise to dilatation. A 10\u00a0mm duct becoming 8\u00a0mm is suggestive of narrowing which can be extrinsic or intrinsic and needs to be evaluated. At times a Contrast enhanced Ct yields more information on such issues. Get a stool occult blood examination done. If positive then an upper GIs copy and Ct may be indicated. Reagrds

Hi, Most probably the delay in your menses is due to side effects of Plan B One Step. These medicine contains a hormone levonogestrel and the bleeding a few days after taking it was with Chat Doctor.

Hi, thanks for sharing your sons' problem with Chat Doctor! Well, not to worry about this and if I were his family physician in this case, I would just think about a retention-type of cyst or in worse case a hematoma/lymphangioma type of swelling! In fact, thee is some loose collection within its cavity, and it is very prone to get infected. I would like to suggest confirming the diagnosis first by FNAC test/ultra-sonography and accordingly go for treatment as suggested by your surgeon! The treatment could be just aspiration of its contents or excision or just wait and watch under conservative treatments! But never it is some serious condition! See you again with feedback and all the best...

Hello! Thank you for your question on Chat Doctor! Regarding your concern, I would explain that your blood sugar levels are high. How many hours after eating did you perform the blood test? I would recommend performing a fasting glucose and a glucose tolerance test, including HbA1C to exclude the possibility of diabetes. From the other hand your blood pressure seems to be OK, but your heart rate is a little high. Do you have any symptoms like palpitations, chest discomfort, shortness of breathing? Regarding the blueish feet and the headache, these symptoms could be related to an inflammatory disease, to a viral infection. Do you have any fever? A peripheral arthropathy can not be excluded as the possible cause of the changes in the color of your feet. I recommend consulting with your attending physician for a careful physical examination and some tests


Hello, and I hope I can help you today. I am sorry that your breasts have developed such a painful condition. You are correct that you may have breast hypertrophy, which is abnormal growth of the breasts, due to the hormones of pregnancy. Gigantomastia describes breasts that increase in size by 2.5\u00a0kg or greater. Unfortunately, there are no effective treatments for breast hypertrophy, especially during pregnancy. Hormonal medications really do not work, and elective surgery is not recommended until at least a year after the baby is born, as sometimes the size of the breast does go down on its own. In the meantime, ice packs and supportive, stretch bras, even when you sleep, can help with the discomfort. Limiting your overall weight gain will also help slow down breast growth, as a significant portion of breast tissue is fat. Applying lots of lotion and emollients to the skin will help reduce stretch marks. I am sorry that there is no immediate treatment for your condition, but your breasts may slow in growth as the pregnancy progresses. I hope I was able to adequately answer your question today and that my advice was helpful. Best wishes for the rest of the pregnancy,

Hi there. Thank you for posting your question with Chat Doctor. I will do my best to help you.  The prevention of kidney stone is a complex subject and there are loads of good information on this on the Internet. I would recommend the Mayo Clinics website as an excellent place to start. Also, you need to discuss this with you own doctor or urologist. First it depends on what type of stone is developing in your kidney or bladder. This has to be determined. If you can, develop the habit of urinating through a sieve just in case you can catch a small stone for your doctor to send for analysis. Most stones are calcium based. Dietary restrictions in calcium is however no longer recommended. This is because it does not seem to work and, in any case, calcium is an important mineral for proper bodily functioning.  Some stones are composed of uric acid in which case allopurinol, to lower uric acid levels, may be prescribed. All recurrence rate of all stones can be reduced by increasing daily fluid intake. The cheapest way to achieve this is by Chat Doctor.  The aim should be to increase fluid intake to the point where you are passing at least four pints of urine every day. I hope that I have answered your questions at least to some extent and been of some help.  If you have any more questions please contact me again anytime.


Hi. There are no conditions of liver or any other organs inside the abdomen or lower chest that they can cause burning pain.

Please discuss this with your Doctor, You may be benefited well with a trial of gabapentin under the prescription and guidance of your Doctor as the dose of this medicine needs to be adjusted.


Dear Sir, The seriousness depends on the stage of disease. Based on your age and the fact, that you have complaints for a short period, I think your diseases are not advanced and can be treated.

After your fever is gone, I would advise you be much in fresh air and exercise much. Hope I could help nourishing you good health In case of further questions don't hesitate to ask

Proper evaluation is needed. I would advise you to visit a Gynecologist to rule out all the above factors. Hope this helps. Regards.


Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. First no need to worry about major heart and lung diseases because your ECG and chest x-ray are normal.

Hello, I think you need to get evaluated by a neurologist first. The cause of double vision needs to be confirmed. If you had weakness also, the thing whicChatDoctores to my mind is myasthenia graves.

For evaluation tests like repetitive nerve stimulation test etc. are required which can be done under neurological supervision only. Good luck.

Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor, As you are having allergic reaction, you need to identify the allergen causing these symptoms. You need to test your blood sample for absolute eosinophil count (AEC) to confirm the presence of allergic reactions. Then you need to undergo skin prick test (SPT) for most prevalent allergens like food, dust, mite and pollen, this will help us find the allergen causing these symptoms. After identifying the allergen causing these symptoms, and you can avoid these allergens, if it is not possible to avoid you need to take immunotherapy. For present condition you can take Tab Least, which helps to control the symptoms. For long term measures you can choose either subcutaneous immunotherapy (SUIT) or sublingual immunotherapy (SLIT). This mode of treatment will help you to control the infection. Thank you.


Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor, As you were diagnosed to have Lyme disease which is an infectious disease caused by Cordelia bacteria, and it is a tick borne disease transmitted to humans by the bite of infected ticks.

These medications should be taken for at least one to four weeks. Thank you.


Hi...if ERA is suggestive of deafness then it is sensorineural deafness. There are different treatment modalities for single ear and both ear deafness. If there is deafness in both the ears then hearing aids should be tried first. The last option is cochlear implant which is done on one side and can be done at one year of age. It is only done in tertiary care centers. So be in touch with your pediatric ENT surgeon and take decision according to the audiometry reports. Choclear implantation gives good results and the baby can lead a near normal life

Hellos you mentioned that there is a pain during cardio i.e. pain due to or during exertion, this type of pain may be due to these reasons, This includes.1 Muscle fiber rupture as I have noted that during sports or exercises person usually torn the fiber of muscles. When exertion this aggravates as may be in your case. Diagnosis can be confirmed by M R I of part concerned.2 As you mentioned that pain is in the lower left reason, so this pain may be due to amoebic colitis.  Stool examination will find out amoeba historical.3 Left renal colic may be the another reason of such pain. In my opinion whenever this pain occurs consult a physician and get his opinion because physical examination will find out exact site of pain. Good luck.

Also start steam inhalation 5-6 times a day. This will help you in stuffed nose. Also


Hello and ! I have read your question I can see that you are having a problem with the medicine Escitalopram. The salt Escitalopram is available in many names in the market, one of them is learn. You have been informed that both are same, which is right, as learn has Escitalopram only. Escitalopram is the active ingredient of the Chat Doctor.  I think the problem is related to the company. A good company Escitalopram will bring the desired effect, which may not be seen when someone switches to any other brand. Sometimes some companies donor use good quality raw material or may use cheap products and so, the patient has either no effect, or may have some unwanted side effects. So, look out your brand of Escitalopram and shift to learn if your patients was good with it and there is no other cause apparent for her problems. Hope the reply helpful free to ask more questions


Stress during exams is normal. But people who have difficulty handling stress should not be staying alone. They should have people around them.  Do you believe in group studies?

One very important thing is to take care of your diet during exams.


Hello. Thank you for writing to USI suggest a possibility of seborrhea dermatitis. Seborrheic dermatitis can present with red, scaly and itchy lesions at various sites including face. Seborrheic dermatitis is a steroid responsive skin condition and responds remarkably well to them. I would suggest that you apply a moderately potent topical steroid e.g. fluticasone propionate 0.05% cream, twice daily for 2 weeks. Seborrheic dermatitis can recur therefore re-treatment may be required. However, since topical steroids cannot be used for more than 2 to 4 weeks on face because of the risk side effects that they can cause like skin atrophy, acne therefore for mild recurrences I would suggest a topical immunomodulator e.g. pimecrolimus cream twice daily. If your seborrhea dermatitis recurs frequently topical immunomodulators can even be used for maintenance of improvement as they are devoid of steroid related side effects. Regards


Hi, Thanks for writing in. A smaller right kidney with increase in cortical echogenicity can indicate decreased kidney function. For this the serum creatinine must be measured, and glomerular filtration rate is also assessed. Disease in the right kidney might be in the initial stages. The most common cause of renal artery stenosis is a blockage in the arteries due to high cholesterol. This problem occurs when a sticky, fatty substance called plaque builds up on the inner lining of the arteries. When the arteries that carry blood to your kidneys become narrow, less blood flows to the kidneys. The kidneys mistakenly respond as if your blood pressure is low. As a result, they release hormones that tell the body to hold on to more salt and water. This causes your blood pressure to rise.
