000002200 | 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. | |

000002205 | Hallow Dear, Though failure of tubal ligation is not unknown, pregnancy after 10 years of tubal ligation is very rare. Moreover, you had your last menstrual period just a week and half ago. So there is no chance that you are pregnant. You have not specified which pregnancy symptoms you are experiencing. If it is nausea and vomiting, it could be due to acidity or gastrointestinal disturbances. Try some antacid; if it does not give you any relief, please report to your physician. | |
000002206 | Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. First, no need to worry about heart diseases as your TMT (trade mill test) and 2d echo are normal. Possibility of HERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease) is more likely. GERD is due to laxity of gastroesophageal sphincter. 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. | |

Please note that ovulation occurs two weeks prior to the onset of the next period. Home pregnancy tests read well when performed 3-7 days after the missed period.

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

000002236 | 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. | |

000002244 | 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. | |

000002254 | 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. Did you suffer a hematoma at the function site, after the procedure? If the discomfort affects on your quality of life and work, I would suggest you to see a vascular doctor, to further evaluate your state, using echo Doppler of peripheral arteries, or other diagnostic means. I hope I was helpful. Feel free to contact me again. Take care | |
000002255 | Dear Mom, If you are getting pains, you are in labor. However, the water trickling down your legs suggests that your bags of water have been ruptured. 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. | |
000002256 | 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. | |

000002262 | 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. | |
000002263 | 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 | |

000002266 | 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... | |

000002268 | 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 | |
000002269 | 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, | |

000002272 | 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. | |

000002283 | 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.

000002288 | 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 | |

000002293 | 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 | |
000002294 | 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. | |
000002295 | 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 | |
000002296 | 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. | |

000002299 | Hi, thanks for writing to Chat Doctor. It is not recommended or advisable to get exposed to radiation (in any form) during the first trimester of pregnancy (during first 3 months). This is because \"Organogenesis\" (formation of body parts) occurs in the fetus during the first 3 months. If you are exposed to radiation during this period, there is likely possibility that the fetus may develop congenital abnormalities. There is no purity or guarantee that a lumbar epidural steroid will provide you relief throughout your term of pregnancy. Hope this information is helpful. Good day |
