Hi, thank you for the question. I'm sorry to hear that you had a fall. Fracture of the ribs can definitely cause a great deal of pain while you breathe. Just ensure you take analgesic/ painkillers as prescribed by your doctor. It will take few weeks for the pain to settle. I suggest you can use some ice packs to decrease soreness of muscles. If the pain aggravates you need to go back and consult your doctor. Take care

Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor Nocturnal itching and lesions resembling mosquito bites distributed over upper thighs, wrists, upper arms is very suggestive of Scabies, an infection caused by the itch mite Scopes Scuba. Nocturnal itching is characteristic. A single whole body application of 5% permethrin cream, from neck downwards, with special attention to the finger webspaces, axillary and groin folds, left overnight is curative. It is advisable to treat all the family members, empirically since they may already be infected being in close contact with each other. An OTC oral antihistamine e.g. cetirizine 10\u00a0mg once daily would help in providing symptomatic relief from itching the clothes, bedsheets, pillow covers, towels, handkerchiefs etc. should be washes and air Chat Doctor.

Formula feeds like NAN Pro 1 are cow milk based and hence difficult for the child to digest and hence the child may vomit or there may be changes in stool. Diluting the cow milk is better than giving in undiluted form. There is no substitute for mothers milk. A child of this age may pass stool once in 10 days or 10 times a day and both are normal. Unless stool is hard, it is not constipation, and you need not worry. Green stool is normal in child Chat Doctor. If possible switch back to breast milk. You may also give expressed breast milk.

HI...nothing to worry about. Seem like he has caught a viral pharyngitis. Cough and cold are viral 95% of the times in child Chat Doctor. For cold, you can use anti-allergics like cetirizine/ Promethazine and for nose block, saline nasal decongestants will do. For fever - Paracetamol can be given in the dose of 15\u00a0mg/kg/dose (max ceiling dose 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. For cold, you can use Cetirizine at 0.25\u00a0mg/kg/dose every 12 hourly for 3 days. For nasal block, plain saline nasal

HelloThanks for your query. Based on the facts that you have posted I would say that you have multiple Sebaceous Cysts over shaft of the penis. The penile skin is rich in sebaceous glands and hence prone to get more sebaceous cyst due to accumulation of sebum beneath the skin. Normally they fade away without treatment however they need to be treated if increase in size or get infected. Please consult qualified General Surgeon for clinical evaluation and further treatment. If needed some of them which are bigger may need to get excised in Toto (Completely along with the sac). Chat Doctor.

Avoid stress and tension, be relaxed and calm. Don't worry, you will be alright with above-mentioned Chat Doctor. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further.

Hi, thank-you for providing the brief history of you. A thorough neuromuscular assessment is advised. As you are suffering with Backache and now the pain is in the lateral side of the leg, I suspect it to be a pinched nerve in the lumbar spine, as this is the classical symptom of lumbar radiculopathy in your history. Also, undergoing physical therapy should help you, as in my clinical practice I see cases with similar complaints and the majority of them respond well to physical therapy. The physical therapist may use - Therapeutic ultrasound therapy and TENS therapy in initial stages to reduce pain and inflammation. Later stages exercises will be taught to improve the muscle strength in the lumbar spine, core, pelvic floor etc. RegardsJay In Chat Doctor.

Thanks for the query I am assuming u mean pre-mature ventricular contraction. Which is actually an ECG finding to start with and very rarely patients have any symptoms at all, even if they do then they don't present with the symptoms you are facing right now. I think you are stressed more than anything. Meet a psychologist/psychiatrist once the internal medicine doctor doesn't find anything Have a healthy living

Hi. Thanks for your query and an elucidated history. Well, this is not a callosity for sure. This can be an organized hematoma, post-traumatic.

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. Regards -

Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor. Treatment depends on the cause of hallucination.

I read your question carefully more than once, but unfortunately I am afraid it was really difficult to understand what really happened to you. You speak of treating cerebral edema, which can have many causes (stroke, tumor, infection) which must be identified and treated accordingly. Then you say you waited for a month to visit the emergency room which makes the cerebral edema a little questionable because it is a very serious finding with the patient often in a coma. Afterwards you say you had no tests but an MRI, which actually is the best test to detect edema, but tell us nothing of its findings. You close it out telling us to have taken treatment by allergy doctor and got better. So I as a doctor started out thinking you had a Chat Doctor. So please try to ask your question again. Try to avoid fancy medical terms like cerebral edema which might not be correct, and tell us your symptoms in plain simple words (headache, vomiting, nose congestion and discharge, fever etc.) using as many details as possible to describe their onset, character and frequency. Include also your age, previous conditions and results of tests like MRI. Me or my colleagues would love to help you, but you have to help us to evaluate your case properly.

Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor, High levels of white blood cells are seen in infections and malignancy. A differential count should be done to know the differential count and the component which is elevated. On the basis of differential count, further management can be done. In case the elevated white blood cells are due to elevated neutrophils, bacterial infection is the most probable cause. Treatment of bacterial infection is antibiotic therapy. Lymphocytes are elevated due to viral infection or other chronic infections. Thanks and take care Chat Doctor.

Hi thanks for your concern. I appreciate your concern that you are showing interest in knowing Sept. K.SGPT is an enzyme that is present in high amount in hepatocytes of liver. Small amount present in heart and muscle. So whenever injury to this organs esp. Liver this enzymes get liberated in blood. So in hepatitis and some time muscle and heart injury show elevated level of it. Normal its value less than 42. In malaria liver can injure and its level increasing rather than decrease. If Sept not elevated then liver mostly not affected. Food that are good ate low fat diet. More fruits. Green leafy veg useful.Omega-3 fatty acid useful like olive oil or sunflower oil. Trans fat like cheese, burger, meat avoided. Exercise useful. I hope I have answered your question well. Regards.; Chat Doctor.

Hi, Thanks for writing in. Sorry to hear about your mother. Cancer is the uncontrolled proliferation of abnormal cells anywhere in the body. The process starts from a single cell and quickly multiplies to involve the entire organ. In case of the esophagus and stomach, there is cancer originating from the walls. The triggering factor might vary from a particular type of fish that is commonly seen in Japanese to any inherent genetic association. Cancers are essentially one rotten egg in a basket which destroys the other eggs. If the single rotten egg or early cancer is not cleared then it proceeds to involve the surrounding areas. In stomach cancer also there are different subtypes like adenocarcinoma, GIST, leiomyosarcoma and lymphoma. Every cancer behaves peculiarly. Hope your query is answered.

Hello dear, I understand your concern. In my opinion the chances of pregnancy are very rare in your case. Usually there is scope for pregnancy when semen is ejaculated inside or around the vagina during the fertile or unsafe period of the cycle. There is very, very rare chance of pre-cum causing pregnancy because rarely pre-cum might have sperms. This applies when penis is inserted into the vagina and the pre-cum is directly injected into the vagina. And in your case the penis was in between the butt and in that case the pre-cum coming and touching the vagina and that leading to pregnancy is rare possibility. So relax. Avoid stress. Nothing to worry. There might be no need of emergency contraception. Hope this helps. Best regards....

Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. By your history and description possibility of stress and anxiety related breathing difficulty is more. But at your age of 15 years asthma can also cause similar symptoms. So we need to rule out asthma first before stamping anxiety as a cause. So get done PFT (Pulmonary Function Test) to rule out asthma. If PFT is normal then no need to worry about asthma. Stress and anxiety appear more in your case. So better to consult psychiatrist and get done counseling sessions, try to identify stressor in your life and start working on its solution. Sometimes only counselling and discussion with psychiatrist are sufficient to relieve stress and anxiety. You may need anxiolytic Chat Doctor. So avoid stress and tension. Be relax and calm. Don't worry, you will be alright. Hope I have solved your query. Wish you good health. Thanks.

Hello, and I hope I can help you today. Anxiety is not normally a side effect of birth control, but if you are taking a traffic (pill that has a different hormone dose every week) pill your hormones are at the highest level in the third week of the pack, which may give you Pm symptoms. So you may be having some type of reaction to the hormone fluctuations. I suggest you speak with your healthcare provider and try switching to a lower dose pill and also one that is the same hormone dose all month, called monophasic. There is a monophasic version of the pill you are on, called Preview (without the TRI) but I think personally you would benefit from a completely different kind of hormone if you have mood side effects. I hope I was able to answer your question today and that my advice was helpful. Best wishes,

Hi welcome to Chat Doctor forum. Thanks for asking a question to Chat Doctor. F. Your stomach suddenly became sour, and tender, hurts when you move or breath in, at the upper central part of the belly.

If you happen to get the gastric pain it could be due to gastritis or ulcer. Other causes are pancreatitis, gall bladder pain, hepatitis.

Wishing for a quick and complete recovery. Best wishes.

Hallow Dear, During pregnancy, there is generalized engorgement of the breasts as a whole. This is due to the hormonal changes in the body. Though the breast is seen on the front side of the chest wall, it has got a tail which extends up to the armpit. This is known as The Axillary Tail of the Breast. As the breasts get engorged, depending up on the degree of engorgement, this Axillary tail also gets engorged. So what you are feeling the soreness and swelling under the armpit is nothing but the part of breast engorgement involving the Axillary tail of the breasts. I do not feel you need any second opinion. In fact, I have given you the second opinion with physiological and anatomical explanation.

Hello,First, I would like to reassure you that you should not feel disheartened about it. It is important for you to understand that at the peak of her fertility, any healthy woman around thirty years of age has approximately 1 in 5 to 6 chance of becoming pregnant during the fertile period of her cycle. This chance may become less due to a number of factors - increasing age, timing, and frequency of intercourse etcetera. In your case, the fact that you are not staying with your husband regularly, and he is based abroad reduces your chance of becoming pregnant. Besides your marriage is very recent. A guiding principle for starting to investigate for sub-fertility is when a woman has not conceived for twelve months of having regular sex with her partner. This criterion has not been met in your case. However, given your health concerns - diagnosis of horseshoe kidney and PRO, it is important to start an investigation and plan for the conception. Horseshoe kidney is a condition that is there from birth and can occur together with malformations and problems linked to the reproductive parts. It may be worth getting imaging done for the kidneys, ureters, bladders as well as for the uterus, tubes and varied. The blood tests for a renal function should be done and review of results with a Urologist or Gynecologist may be useful. Please get your blood pressure checked as sometimes this can occur with this condition.PRO or polycystic ovaries is a condition that is common, occurring in one out of three women. Sometimes it resolves with correction of weight, lifestyle changes, Sometimes medications may be necessary. Giving combined pills for 3-6 months is sometimes offered to manage irregular periods if fertility is not much of a concern. Moulton is a contraceptive pill, so it might not be the preferred method in your case. Closed and Phaeton might be a better alternative, however, the intercourse has to be properly consummated, timed to the fertile period of your cycle and occur every two days to maximize the chances of conception. I would like to emphasize that for any investigation and management to deal with conception and pregnancy, it is important to include and involve the partner as well. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.

Spitting up blood, swollen glands, and an abnormal chest x-ray indicate a serious process in the lungs. It could be infection (tuberculosis is a big concern), some kind of inflammatory process (similar to lupus), or even cancer. Prominent Hilary markings could be swollen lymph glands in the chest near where the lungs start from the major bronchial tubes. The peritonsillar abscess a year ago is not likely related. He could, however, have an abscess deeper down in the lung passages. Seeing a pulmonary doctor promptly and getting the lymph nodes biopsied is exactly what he should do.

Hello, Most probably these are ventricular premature complexes. These are ectopic or extra beats. These are usually benign and not life-threatening. These are frequently associated caffeine, smoking, alcohol, thyroid problems may aggravate these. So before going ahead we need to confirm it. You'll need ECG, Since these are not frequent ECG may be normal sometimes, so in that case you'll need 24 holder monitoring which can diagnose these. You should also get echo done to look for functioning of heart. Furthermore, you should also get thyroid test done. Avoid smoking, alcohol and caffeinated products. You should also discuss with your local doctor regarding Metoprolol XR 25 mg once a day, which will suppress these beats, after confirmation of diagnosis. Hope this helps you and get back if you have any questions.

Thanks for putting your query up at Chat Doctor. I am sorry that your daughter has dermatomyositis. Dermatomyositis (DM) is a connective-tissue disease that is characterized by inflammation of the muscles and the skin. While DM most frequently affects the skin and muscles, it is a systemic disorder that may also affect the joints, the esophagus, the lungs, and, less commonly, the heart. The mechanism is immune-mediated damage to microscopic vessels of skin and muscles and gives rise to muscle atrophy. The diagnosis can be confirmed by muscle biopsy, EMG, and blood tests. This disease has no known cure but the immune reactions that result in the disease, can be kept in control using certain medicines.

Hi, Thanks for writing in. Merkel cell cancer is a rare and aggressive form of skin cancer. It is influenced by sun exposure and appears as a painless nodule in the skin.

Chemotherapy and radiation therapy are two important strategies that might have to be planned by his doctor and given in a regulated manner. Radiation will limit the aggressiveness of the cancer and reduce tumor size. The chemotherapy will destroy the cancer cells. Please do not worry.

In case if it is an allergic reaction a steroid shot can also be given to reduce the symptoms. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Hello dear, thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your situation and problem. In my opinion you are having mostly HERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease). Uncontrolled HERD is the common cause for worsening of COPD. And chest heaviness with bloated stomach are the features of HERD more. But better to rule out cardiac cause first as COPD patients and at high risk for cardiac disease. So get done ECG. If ECG is normal then HERD is likely cause. It is due to laxity of gastroesophageal sphincter. Because of this the acid of the stomach tends to come up in the esophagus and cause the symptoms. So try to follow these steps. 1. Avoid hot and spicy food. 2. Avoid stress and tension. 3. Avoid large meals, instead take frequent small meals. 4. Start Proton pump inhibitors. 5. Go for walk after meals. 6. Keep 2 - 3 pillows under head in bed to prevent reflux. 7. Avoid alcohol and smoking if you have these habits. Don't worry, you will be alright.

These cause chest tightness, coughing etc. So better to get done PFT. It will also tell you about severity of the disease. And treatment of bronchitis is based on severity only. You may need inhaled bronchodilators and antihistamine Chat Doctor. And for your lung nodule, you have to get done follow-up CT scan after 6-9 months to see for nodule size. If size is static or decreasing then no need to worry but if size is increasing then you need to biopsy to rule out cancer.

I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
