000002803 | Hi, Firstly, as she is active and playful, absolutely there is nothing to be taken as serious. Also, having bowel 4-5 times a day in a 3-month baby can be taken as normal. Anyhow, if there is blood streaking of stools, there is a chance of bacterial dysentery, although it is quite uncommon in an exclusively breastfed baby. What you can do now-just keep an eye on her stools- if no further blood streaking, your baby is absolutely fine and just leave it. If blood staining continues, kindly show to your pediatrician, as this may need antibiotic treatment. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further. | |

000002831 | Hello, I understand your concern. I am Chat Doctor, infectious disease specialist, answering your concern. Lactic acid arises from the glycogen stored in them muscle.

I will be happy to answer your further concern you can contact me here, or you can contact me on bit.ly/ Chat Doctor. Thank you, ChatDoctor | |

000002836 | Hi, I went through the history points you have provided - I was expecting that there should have been a history of cows milk and formula feed (this too contains cows milk protein) given to the baby. I feel that your baby is having cows milk protein allergy. Unusually babies grow out of this sort of allergy by 1 year of age. My suggestions for you - 1. Mother should go off cows milk protein completely. This means that you should avoid consumption of anything and everything related to cows milk - like - milk/ curds/ ghee/ butter milk/ chocolates/ biscuits/ ice creams etc. Even while buying commercial food products, you need to see the ingredients and if they contain milk - do not consume them.2. Feed you baby only exclusive breastfeeds till 6 months of age and then start rice based feeds. 3. If this is followed scrupulously - the baby will stop having diarrhea in another 3-4 days and then start gaining weight too.4. If you feel your feeds alone are inadequate for the baby, then Zero lac is the only option till 6 months age. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. | |

000002846 | Hallow Dear, Unprotected sex on the night before expected day of menses have almost no chance of resulting in pregnancy. The egg is released way back, 14 days prior to the expected day of menstruation and has life of only 24 hours. The sperms are active for 72 hours. Hence, a period of about a week around the day of egg release is fertile period. Delay in her menses is likely to be due to the stress of the pregnancy. If she had any intercourse during the fertile period, then only she has to be worried about the pregnancy. Pregnancy test on urine about 8-10 days after missed period will confirm the diagnosis. The brownish discharge she is getting could be starting of her menses. If she does not get menses in few days, she may be given Tab. Devilry for 5 days and within 4-7 days she will get her menses. However, I feel, wait patiently without stress, and she will get her menses. I hope this helps you. | |

000002871 | Welcome to Chat Doctor! I have read your question carefully, and somehow I feel that you either have mixed seizures ( GTCS plus Dissociative) or only dissociative (due to stress) ones. The points which make me feel that you have dissociative seizures are---- that you are having them so frequently, ---you feel depressed from past two years, ----there is no history suggestive of injury, fall, tongue bite, cheek bite, tooth breaking, in - continence during any of them (at least not mentioned in query) ----and all scans are within normal limits. Even if now you want to confirm that whether you have GTCS, then get an EEG or serum prolactin levels, they rise in a true seizure and come to normal limits within next 24hrs, an EEG will come abnormal when you have true seizure. In mixed seizures, patient is given antiepileptics and medicines for stress, which take care of both the things. I think that you must see a psychiatrist, even if you have true seizures, as, you have significant depression, hopelessness and worthlessness, which is harmful for you. Your condition is difficult right now but let me tell you, I have seen cases worse than yours getting completely well. So, there is still Hope, but you need to gather some strength for yourself and move ahead! Please fix an appointment with a psychiatrist and do see him at least once.

000002873 | HiT hanks for your query. I think you are suffering from allergic rhino-sinusitis. I think for sinusitis you are suffering from heavy head. Please go for an x-ray para-nasal sinuses to exclude chronic sinusitis and polypoid sinus diseases. If anything found on x-ray, a CT scan of para-nasal sinuses may be done to properly evaluate it. If any polypoid changes occur in the sinuses then FESS (functional endoscopic sinus surgery) can be done to remove it permanently. Otherwise, you should continue to take telecast L, NASA but not Topped 200 for prolonged period. In addition to that you may consult an allergist and may go for skin prick test and specific IGE tests to detect specific allergen and immunotherapy to that allergen so that you can be protected from that allergen. I also advise you to go for a spirometry with bronchodilator reversibility to confirm the diagnosis of asthma and management of it properly. I think all these will give you remission of these symptoms. You can try our premium services to get further answers on these issues if you have further queries. Thank you. | |

000002882 | Hello, Thanks for the query. I have seen the details given. A blood glucose level of 257 mg after food is a clear sign of having diabetes. The criteria to diagnose is FBG 126 mg and above, PP 200 mg and above and HbA1c% 6.5 and above. Therefore, you need to initiate treatment for diabetes forthwith. Do not delay. Many persons do not get any specific symptoms when diabetes develops. That is one of the reasons why it is unrecognized for quite some time. Along with starting treatment with oral antidiabetics (like Metformin + a Lipton), you will have to also adapt modified lifestyle, meaning taking restricted diet, avoiding sweets, junk foods, colas, pastries, bakery items, alcohol and even smoking. Plus exercise daily for at least 1 hour. My suggestion is pleased your personal physician or a ideologist and start the treatment. Take care. Also get your eyes checked for ruling out diabetic retinopathy. Thanks. | |
