000004613 | HiT hanks for posting your query on Chat Doctor. I appreciate your concern for the cat bite in fact scratch by its claws. It is unlikely to transmit the rabies virus, if any. Rabies virus is found in the brain and the salivary secretions of these animals. So a cat bite by animals teeth with saliva is more likely to transmit the virus if the animal is found to be carrying the virus. But in your case you had scratches by the animals claws resulting in bleeding, so it is unlikely to result in the transmission of the virus and hence no chance of getting the rabies. What you need at the most is cleaning of the wound with soap and water or antiseptic like Provide and a booster dose of Injection Tetanus toxic and maybe you need a course of appropriate antibiotic from the doctor. Hope this answers your query. Kindly rate this answer, if you are convinced. | |
000004614 | Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Yes, you should definitely rule out cardiac cause for your left sided chest pain.

You may need longer acting bronchodilators (formoterol or albuterol) and inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) (budesonide or fluticasone) for better control of asthma. Avoid stress and tension, be relaxed and calm. 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. | |
000004615 | Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern.

So despite normal Holder report, you should definitely get done 2d echo and stress test (trade mill test) and coronary angiography (if required). If all these are normal then no need to worry about heart diseases. Sometimes stress and anxiety can also cause similar symptoms. So avoid stress and tension, be relaxed and calm. Don't worry, you will be alright. But better to first rule out CAD. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks. | |

000004628 | Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns. Sif you can't push it back or there is redness of the skin overlying hernia or there is pain and fever in progressive trend, then you need to see doctor urgently since it may indicate incarcerated hernia which require surgical operation as soon as possible. If these things are not present then you can treat it by laying down and taking painkillers and try to push hernia back after you relax. However, I suggest planning surgical repair of hernia in future since it may just become larger and cause more pain than it can't be cured with any other treatment but surgery, so you should consult abdominal surgeon in short time.

000004643 | Hello, A very thorough medical history is absolutely necessary before any dental treatment. A blood thinner such as Coumadin affects the bodies ability to clot. This is the initial stage of healing required after an extraction. If the clot is disturbed, delayed healing may occur. A Chat Doctor. I routinely take my patients off blood thinners including aspirin. If there are high risk conditions, I refer to the oral surgeon specialist. All doctors and specialists should consult, discuss risks and agree to treatment. Premedication for dental treatment, especially extractions, is necessary after knee replacement surgery. An antibiotic such as Amoxicillin should be prescribed. I suggest a consultation with an oral surgeon. Factors such as the amount of tooth in bone and risks need to be considered. Surgical complication risks will also need to be considered when choosing a location. I hope this is helpful, and thank you for your inquiry. | |
000004644 | Hello and Welcome to Chat Doctor, I have gone through your query. The white spot surrounded by redness that you referred to seems to be a surplus which contains pus within.

Yea you can take the medicine as the same has no affinity with the Chat Doctor. Your Tooth might need a Root Canal in this Case as the infection can only subside for some days or week by medicine and it(pain) will recur. You might be needing an X-Ray of the involved tooth to see the extension of infection, so the dentist can see whether the tooth really can be saved with root canal or should be extracted. I suggest you to visit the Dentist and get the tooth treated. Thanks and | |
000004645 | Hi, Thank you for posting your query. There are two issues here-1. Whether we should do surgery for meningioma?2. The appropriate dose of dilation. Meningioma can only be treated by surgery. There are no medicines to make it disappear. So, if the tumor is large or is in a critical part of brain, or it is growing in size, we should do the surgery for meningioma. The correct dose of dilation (phenytoin) is 5 mg per kg body weight. So, if your weight is about 60 kg, then, you should be on 300 mg per day-either 100 mg three times daily, or 200 mg pm and 100 mg am. I hope it helps. Please get back if you require any additional information. Best wishes, Chat Doctor. Ly/ | |
000004646 | Hi, Thanks for posting in Chat Doctor. Toxic is indicated for booster injection only for persons 7 years of age or older against tetanus. Injury in any form which has an open wound or penetrative is an indication for taking injection as it carries a risk of contacting tetanus. Ideally it needs to be taken within 24 hours after an injury to be more effective. However, one injection would offer protection for a period of 6 months. Hence, if your mother has only an abrasion of the skin without any penetrative wound, then there is no absolute necessity to take the injection. It can be managed by cleaning the wound with antiseptic and applying antibacterial cream. Otherwise, with penetrative wound, it is a must, along with taking other measures. Hope the information provided would be helpful. All the best. | |

000004664 | I understood your concerns, first we need to confirm that you have muscular or kidney colic pain? Pain may be nerve related also...... In most types of neuropathic pain, all signs of the original injury are usually gone and the pain that one feels is unrelated to an observable injury or condition. With this type of pain, certain nerves continue to send pain messages to the brain even though there is no ongoing tissue damage. Neuropathic pain (also called nerve pain or neuropathy) is very different from pain caused by an underlying injury. While it is not completely understood, it is thought that injury to the sensory or motor nerves in the peripheral nervous system can potentially cause neuropathy. Neuropathic pain could be placed in the chronic pain category, but it has a different feel then chronic pain of a musculoskeletal nature. If you have stone related colic pain you can take dicyclomine paracetamol combination. | |

000004674 | Hi, Thanks for writing in. I think your husband has got ultrasound and specific urine tests done for assessment of kidney function. In my opinion, 300 can be 300 mg to the upper limit of proteins normally excreted by an individual and 5000 refers to 5 grams of proteins found in his test results. Please remember that this is only an estimation, and it is best to refer to the actual report and make conclusions. A blood pressure of 180/ 108 is high, and it is important to rule out a condition called renal artery stenosis in people having high blood pressure. In this condition, there is narrowing of blood vessels entering the kidneys and this causes release of chemicals that shoot up the blood pressure. This can be confirmed by doing a renal artery Doppler test which will show any abnormal blood flow in his kidneys. Please consult your doctors and get a renal artery Doppler scan done after recommendation. | |
000004675 | Yes, you should head back to the hospital. If you are having the same pain and symptoms you had with a previous kidney infection in this same pregnancy, it is likely that your infection is back. Pyelonephritis, or a kidney infection, is more common in pregnancy than in the general population. As you know, it can cause serious pain, fever and other symptoms. More importantly, pyelonephritis has been linked to preterm labor. It is important that you go back to the hospital. If your infection has returned, it can be treated again and help give your baby more time. | |

000004688 | Hello, I generally prefer to allow the implant to heal under the bone and avoid any initial loading. The single stage or unibody advantage will allow you to have a temporary crown placed for the anterior tooth immediately. Ask your dentist for additional information and the particular brand. You want to see some clinical studies for the implant that you are considering. Consider a second opinion with a periodontist. The most important consideration is bone support. You want to do everything possible to have the best surgical outcome for the implant placement. Consider a removable temporary tooth while the implant is placed and heals as an option. Icon dental implants use short implants. There are MDI Mini dental implants designed for dentures by 3M. OCO Biomedical and Fischer Dental are some implant brand names to search for more information.

000004695 | Hi, The main concern for you is tubal blocks. If they have been identified on the HSG, they have to be treated by laparoscopic surgery if possible. So, the next step for you would be a keyhole surgery, where the surgeon will try to remove the blocks, it could be combined with a surgery called hysteroscopy, where the surgeon insert a tiny camera into the womb and sees its lining. These will guide us with further management. The TORCH values should not concern you much, because once you have got an infection it is very unlikely that you will get it again during pregnancy.

000004697 | The most common reason for toes to be deformed at a young age is a tendon imbalance between the flexors and extensors of the foot. For example, having a high arch or a caves type foot, leads to the extensor tendons bow stringing and hammertoe formation. Using a custom orthotic from a foot and ankle specialist may help balance deforming forces. Others have advocated taping the toes in an improved position, but I never tape child Chat Doctor. With a certain type of flatfoot, the fourth and fifth toes turn inward due to imbalance of intrinsic tendons of the foot. Although these may be cosmetically unappealing I would never consider surgery until all growth plates close after around 18 years of age, and usually don't ever cause negative symptoms | |
