[|Human|] I am a 59 year old, very fit male. I have an early inguinal hernia. It reduces completely overnight when I am non-weight bearing but I get a buldge as the day progresses when I am on my feet. Should I pursue getting it repaired now or wait until it becomes more severe. I am very physically active with golf, walking, bike riding, hiking and dont really want to pursue surgery and be incapacitated during the summer but also dont want to do irrepairable harm. Is there a less invasive procedure than an incision and mesh insertion? Thank you.
[|AI|] Hi and welcome to Chat Doctor. I suggest doing surgical repair even if you don't have intensive symptoms. Inguinal hernia can never pass by itself. It can be only bigger and more problematic. Especially if you are physically active. You ll have to do this repair sooner or later and if you wait then some serious complications may occur such as incarceration or strangulation. Surgery can be done by open procedure where 4-5 cm incision is performed and mesh inserted. This is a routine today wit minimal postoperative recovery and wound scaring. ALso, it can be done laparoscopic in many institutions. There is really no reason to avoid it.Wish you good health.

[|Human|] thanks for ur service to humanity. i am 26yrs old, a female, weight 70kg and ve bn suffering pains in my lower abdomen(pelvic). although i used to have discharge too but its gone after using doxycycline, flagyl and augumentine as prescribed by the doctor. i went for pelvic scan and d result stated that there is tissue reaction on both adnexae and pouch of douglas and no free fluid in d pouch of douglas. The pain is unbearable to the extent that i pass urine within short intervals and painful and uncomfortable if i didnt pass the urine out on time. my urine text UTI showed negative. please i want you to precribe the medcine in can use cos the pain is unbearable. thanks
[|AI|] H. Thanks for your query and an elucidated history. I can understand the pains you might have, read and re-read the history which tells about your medicines taken, ultrasonography report a, urine report Since you have already taken Roxy and Augmenting the urine report can be negative in spite of you still being suffering from such symptoms. I would suggest you the following. -Urine culture and sensitivity reports. -CBC and blood culture and sensitivity reports as well as urea and creatinine. -Get an opinion of a Urologist, get cystoscopy done and a course of another antibiotic like Ofloxacin for 1 to 3 weeks. At the same time start taking urinary alkalinize, plenty of oral fluids. The ultrasonography reports of tissue reaction on adnexa and pouch of Douglas is indicative of chronic inflammation, and we have to rule out the tuberculosis. If required- a diagnostic Laparoscopy can help a lot in diagnosis and treatment too.

[|Human|] I have a tooth abscess. Ive had it for five days now. Went to the er three days ago. They gave me penicillin and ibuprofen. I exclaimed that I took five Aleve and seven Tylenol and it didnt work. How they thought ibuprofen would work.....your guess is good as mine. Either way Ive been taking penicillin for three days. Im still in pain and the swelling is about the same. Slightly smaller. When I feel it. It feels like a knot. Its hard and about the size of two pieces of chewed gum. What should I do? I dont think the antibiotics are working. Do I need to wait a few more days?
[|AI|] Hi. Welcome to Chat Doctor. As per your complaint tooth abscess occurs when there is pus formation below the root tips of the tooth leading to accumulation of pus in soft tissues causing swelling and pain. As the pus creates pressure over the nerves, therefore there is severe pain. In this case taking only antibiotics and painkillers will not provide permanent relief, and you need to get your tooth treated. I would suggest you to consult an Endodontist and get evaluated and a thorough clinical evaluation and investigations like IOP AR [x-ray] can help in diagnosis and treatment can be done accordingly. You can be advised Root Canal Treatment followed by antibiotics and painkillers. As of now if pain is severe you can take higher painkillers like Tramadol or Motorola. Ibuprofen can help in relieving moderate pain. Do cool compresses over the cheek and do warm saline gargles. Hope this helps. Regards.

[|Human|] Could I Get High Blood Pressure From Instaflex ??I Am 43 6ft 221lbs, Gym 3-4 days A Week,Salt Intake Is Low, Caffeine Intake Is Low Also. Eating Salads & fruits Are Part Of My Weekly Diet.Should I Continue Taking Flaxseed Oil& Fish Oil, Will This Help With Blood pressure being To High. In Sress Situations By Blood Pressure Goes Higher, Is There Any Way Of Controling Without Medication.
[|AI|] Hello, Thanks for posting your query on Chat Doctor ...* Brief Answer : Installed does not cause high blood pressure, need to lose some weight, shift to cardio exercising and avoid stressful situations, continue on your supplements nothing to worry about.*Explanation: My opinion is that high blood pressure on many occasions is an indication for control. That happens on many levels. First, be sure that high blood pressure is not secondary to any other diseases as Cushing or renal failure. Then, Diet with low salt and less fat content is crucial. Exercise and other healthy activities are also a mean to control blood pressure. If all that does not help, medications are a must. That is usually decided by your doctor according to your condition and comorbidities. Some Chat Doctor. Regular blood pressure monitoring is as important as starting treatment so that we could assess efficacy of the medication we started. Your body mass index is high (about 30) and that you need to get some weight loss. I suggest my patients the following ; if all that measures don't help with blood pressure controlling, start them on antihypertensive medication according to their condition. The information provided by you is not sufficient to provide a good opinion. If someone comes to me with this condition I would ask them about age, sex, and other comorbidities, also if any analgesics are used to control joint condition.*Conclusion: I suggest you continue on your measures, low salt in diet, lose some extra weight and check with your physician. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help, If not, you can close the discussion and rate the answer. Wish you good health.

[|Human|] i HAD A FISHBONE STUCK IN MY GUM WHICH HAS MEANT THAT MY GUMS SWELLED UP AND I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO EAT WITH THAT SIDE OF MY MOUTH. Today I tried eating a small piece of bread and my tooth broke, could this be caused by the infection, if so can this spread to my other teeth?
[|AI|] Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query. The swollen gums can be because of the gum infection in between two teeth secondary to decay in between two teeth. The broken piece of the tooth might be from a decayed tooth which has become weak. Nothing to be panic, consult an oral physician and get a radiograph done to confirm the diagnosis. Get the tooth treated with root canal treatment and cap done. For the gum infection get the teeth cleaned. If there is decay in between the teeth, it can spread to adjacent tooth. I hope my answer will help you, take care.

[|Human|] Hi My questio is pertaining to gynaecomastiacould you please advise on this? My age is 27 now...I have been having this problem since the age of 13..so its been 14 yrs nowmy height is around 5.7"my weight is 76 kilosmy question is if this can be removed ?
[|AI|] Hi you didn't mention whether you have used medications or not. If you have used medications and still no benefit. I would suggest you to go for surgery. Reduction mammoplasty is considered for patients with macromastia or long-standing gynecomastia or in persons in whom medical therapy has failed. It is also considered for cosmetic reasons (and for accompanying psychosocial reasons). More extensive plastic surgery may be required in patients with marked gynecomastia or who have developed excessive sagging of the breast tissue due to weight loss. If surgery is necessary for patients with pseudogynecomastia, liposuction may be warranted. I hope I have answered your doubt. Wish you good health.

[|Human|] im 19 year old boy .iam thin guy with 5.11 inches and 57 weight..my problem is like i masturbate everyday when im alone and my cheeks have been reduced badly.is this for masturbation or for anyelse? please help me and give me an advice to stop masturbation.please
[|AI|] Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor .com. I had gone through your question I can understand your concern about habit. See this is not the case of your low weight body of reduced cheeks. A person is married at an age of twenty and has sex daily for years if he doesn't feel any health issue why will you, there is only one difference that is of intercourse, it is normal. At your age it will not affect you health wise. In case you want to check your habit, you need to have a room partner who will be with you most of the time and will check your loneliness. Keep in mind partner must be the one in front of him you may need to think. Hope my answer will help you and provide your feedback and visit us again in case any further help is needed.

[|Human|] Hi I am a 27 years old female .. I am married since 1.5 years .. I was using protections like condoms .. I didnt take any medicine .. But before almost 2 months we were deciding to make a baby .. My period was supposed to come on september,20th .. But it has been 3 weeks, the period signs are clear like my breast got bigger and i have a stomachache but there is no period .. After 5 days of the due date i tried the pregnenacy test at home (negative) after 2 weeks from the due date i did a blood test (negative) i went to a doctor and she told me to take Primolut -Nor but i didnt take it cuz i am not sure yet .. So is there is a possibility of being pregnant ! Should I wait ! Or do the test again .. Please help
[|AI|] Hi dear, I have gone through your question and understand your concerns. Delayed periods can be due to pregnancy, stress or hormonal disturbances like hypothyroidism, hyperprolactemia or polycystic ovarian disease. I will suggest you to repeat the urine pregnancy test, if still negative, then you should get your hormonal profile and ultrasound done to confirm the diagnosis and get appropriate treatment. Hope you found the answer helpful. Wishing you good health. Chat Doctor.

[|Human|] I suffered from Hepatitis 5 years ago. Since then, I used to have liver inflammation once in 6 months while I eat bad food or too fatty food. During the last 15 days I suddenly started having pain in my liver area and now I feel that paid is everywhere around my stomach, especially when I am hungry. If I drink water or if I eat something I am fine. I tested my blood and everything seems to be fine except ALT which is 49 in place of 0 - 45. Sometimes I have pain just below my ribs after eating. I do not have constipation and I go to toilet normally. I do not see blood in stool. I do not have fever or nausea. I feel uncomfortable and mild pain in my stomach specially when pressed all over my stomach. Please help me.
[|AI|] Hello! Thanks for putting your query in Chat Doctor. I am a Gastroenterologist. Pain appears to be due to acid peptic disease. For which I will advise you to avoid tea, coffee, oily and spicy food. Also avoid citrus fruits. Among medications take a proton pump inhibitor like omeprazole and a prokinetic agent like risperidone. Hepatitis is usually painless unless or until liver is enlarged leading to stretching of the capsule. I hope I have answered your query and this will help you. Wish you a good health

[|Human|] Have been running low grade temp (@99.5) for past 6 months. Temp is normal thru day (97-98) & every afternoon/evening I feel it coming on. Have history of hi bp, hyperglycemia (take 80units Lantus) & have been doctoring for a boil/fistula for past 2 months. Have bloodwork almost every week-1 time wbc will be elevated & theyll put me on antibiotics & next time its normal. Most recently my bp has been higher than normal. Family dr. said to double bp pill. This is driving me crazy & is really starting to work on my nerves. Nobody seems to be able to tell me what exactly is going on.
[|AI|] Hi, dear. I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You have evening rise fever which is low grade. You should go for investigation for tuberculosis once. Many times it happens in tuberculosis that you have no other symptoms except evening rise fever. Consult your doctor and investigate for it and then take treatment accordingly. Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Wish you a very good health.

[|Human|] I was bite by a cat thee weeks ago it was infected and I took an oral antibiotic for a week and a half. I had six puncture wounds all healed normally except for three of them healed with lumps under the skin I saw a np who said this was scar tissue and not to worry. But this week its been itchy and small red bumps are appearing around the punctures. Should I be worried? I also suffer from eczema and the bumps are similar to that,.
[|AI|] Thanks for posting you query to Chat Doctor .as this lesion develop around your scar could be due to secondary infection or edematous lesion as such lesion can develop on scar mark. If it is due to infection it will swell up, appear red, filled with pus and would be associated with fever or body ache. So if you develop symptom of infection contact to your general surgeon for taking treatment accordingly. If you feel only itching no need to worry about infection just take whatever treatment you are taking for your eczema and if not received contact to your dermatologist. Hope you would be satisfied with my answer. Feel free to communicate if any query.regards, Chat Doctor.

[|Human|] i am 25 year old, 160 cm height, 65kg weight. i have been suffering from dust allergy for more than 18 months when i take foods like curd,milk, fruites and juices with in 3 hours i get cold and throat irritation. i have conselled the doctors but there is no relief if i fail to take tablet it continues, give me valuable suggesions. whether it can be curable or i have to take tablets for my life time thank you sir....
[|AI|] I had gone through your query and understand your concern. You are talented enough that you have found out the cause of your allergy. Earlier you mentioned that you had been suffering from dust allergy, later you also mentioned particular food allergy. If I were your treating physician, I would look for symptoms of >allergic rhinitis(gonorrhea, nasal blockage, nasal irritation etc.)>asthma(cough, chest tightness, wheeze etc.)then treat accordingly. The best treatment of allergy is to avoid allergens so far it is possible, and you will be remained symptom free. If you do not have any problems other than food allergy please try to avoid this food. If you currently have allergic rash or itching, you may take antihistamine like cetirizine. You may follow the above advice for your allergy and observe for few days. If it is not improved, please contact with local doctor for confirming the diagnosis and treatment accordingly. Hope this answers you. Wish you good health

[|Human|] Hi, I noticed dark wax in my one year old s ear. It was very close to the outside of the ear so I used a q tip to swab it away. I could see the tip of the q tip and was gentle with it. When I took it away there was a spot of bright red blood. He is playing just fine right now and does not appear to be in any pain. He has a history of much ear wax. Should I call the pediatrician to check him out tonight?
[|AI|] Hello. I just read through your question. Wax in the ear is not abnormal. Some produce more than others. Typically, the longer the wax remains in the ear the darker it gets and the more tightly attached it gets. Most likely, when you pulled it out it caused a very small abrasion which produced the small amount of blood you saw. These heal almost instantly, which is why your son behaved fine afterwards. So there is no need to be concerned or run to your pediatrician.

[|Human|] Hi, I have had lower back pain/inflammation for about 8 weeks, whilst this has eased somewhat and the muscles are less tight there is still a pull if I arch my back. More worrying is my stomach seems to fill up with air when I exert my body -like walking up a hill or stairs and I find difficullty in getting a deep breath/or shortness of breath. Been to a GP, sending me for xrays for chest and back, she thinks I have a respiratory infection of some sort, but has ruled out pluercy or pneumonia . Would this and or the back problen be causing my shortness of breath?
[|AI|] Hi Ray, Welcome to Chat Doctor ! Backache is not known to cause shortness of breath or any breathing problem. I think you are not a habitual walker, if you are new to start on exercises then you will have this kind of exertion related breathlessness. Do not walk uphill in the start. Start walking at plains first and walk about 4-5 kilometers a day, later when you build stamina, start having jogging. Avoid stairs and uphill running. They are not good exercises rather put more load on body. I hope this advice would be helpful for you. Still if you have any queries or doubts, please write me back, I would be happy to solve them. Wish you a great health!

Hi, I have had lower back pain/inflammation for about 8 weeks, whilst this has eased somewhat and the muscles are less tight there is still a pull if I arch my back. More worrying is my stomach seems to fill up with air when I exert my body -like walking up a hill or stairs and I find difficullty in getting a deep breath/or shortness of breath. Been to a GP, sending me for xrays for chest and back, she thinks I have a respiratory infection of some sort, but has ruled out pluercy or pneumonia . Would this and or the back problen be causing my shortness of breath?

Hi Ray, Welcome to Chat Doctor ! Backache is not known to cause shortness of breath or any breathing problem. I think you are not a habitual walker, if you are new to start on exercises then you will have this kind of exertion related breathlessness. Do not walk uphill in the start. Start walking at plains first and walk about 4-5 kilometers a day, later when you build stamina, start having jogging. Avoid stairs and uphill running. They are not good exercises rather put more load on body. I hope this advice would be helpful for you. Still if you have any queries or doubts, please write me back, I would be happy to solve them.

[|Human|] I have neck and back pain sice last 2 yaers and I am taking anxiety disorde medicine but my pain is not going. Actually what is the prblem of my neck and back on left.Is it the physical effect of Anxiety or not.But my other effect of anxiey is improving well except of back pain and neck pain .
[|AI|] Hello, I had gone through the case and found that it might not be due to anxiety. It can be due to any vertebral problem. So I will advise going for X-ray of spine to know the spondylosis or spondylitis of cervical and lumbar vertebrae. Also go for calcium and Vitamin D3 level in blood.Meanwhile, take mild painkiller and avoid pillow for sleeping and do exercise. Hope my answer will be effective for you. Thanks

[|Human|] I have OSMF for last few years and I could not open my mouth properly (25mm) and last year I have given 5 nos. of oral vitamin injection. I dot have any problem in eating but I am suffering for dental problem. Ple suggest what are the other alternative treatment.
[|AI|] Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query. The dental problems are due to the limited mouth opening which make the maintained of the oral hygiene difficult. You have to get your oral cavity checked every 3-6months once, get the teeth cleaned every 6-8months. If any decayed teeth are there, then get it filled when they are in the initial stage prophylactically. Get the wisdom teeth removed prophylactically. For improving mouth opening, take intraluminal steroid like dexamethasone and hyaluronate bi-weekly for 6-8weeks which improves the mouth opening and makes you to maintain the oral hygiene. I hope my answer will help you, take care.

[|Human|] My daughter is 20 years old and her urine test shows pus cells 20, occult blood trace. She is been prescribed antibiotic, she is resistant to most antibiotics therefore the doctor prescribed her antibiotic the one given to ladies in their pregnancy. Is it safe to take. Will her kidney get affected in this case.
[|AI|] Hi, Name of the prescribed antibiotic not mentioned however it appears to be safe for the kidneys. Amoxicillin is commonly prescribed to treat urine infection during pregnancy which is considered to be safe. Assuming that your daughter also takes amoxicillin there is nothing to worry it does not cause any harmful effects on the kidneys. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

[|AI|] Hello, Headache, dizziness with fever in a child warrants detailed clinical evaluation by a pediatrician. Causes of sucChatDoctorplaints are commonly upper respiratory infections, but may be seen in certain other conditions such as migraine, hypertension, anxiety, CNS infection, etc. You should consult pediatrician and get detailed clinical evaluation done.

[|Human|] My mom has dementia, and is currently in the hospital for psych, depression, the doctor prescribed remeron, and risperidone, is that safe ? SHE HAS HAD A QUADRUPLE BYPASS IN 1997, DUE TO A DOUBLE HEART ATTACK ??????????? I HAVE NO MONEY, AND NO CREDIT CARD, BUT AM EXTREMELY WORRIED
[|AI|] Hello, thanks for the query. Is your mom a diagnosed case of dementia? If yes, which type of dementia? Since she is receiving Cameron (Mirtazapine); she seems to be suffering from some form of depression or anxiety or both. As such Mirtazapine is fairly safe except for issues of weight gain & deranged lipid profile & hence may not be that good option considering your mothers' history cardiac surgery. There are other safer options like Escitalopram, sertraline, timeline for control of depressive-anxiety symptoms. Similarly, risperidone is probably prescribed to your mother to control agitation or other behavioral manifestations which can occur in dementia. Though not entirely safe but if given in low doses & under constant medical supervision, risperidone seems to be OK choice. Other possible alternatives to risperidone which you can ask your doctor are Quetiapine, haloperidol (post your mothers current cardiac status evaluation) or a Chat Doctor. Hope this helps. Good luck

[|Human|] Hello, I am 23 and me and my husband have been trying to get pregnant for 3years I went to my Obgyn and I was put on clomid 50mg I have taking it for 3months and this month I was 2days late starting my cycle and when I did start it was almost black in color I have gained some weight and I have been a.little nausea but I took a pregnancy test it was negative... please help me by telling me if you know what might be yapping with me
[|AI|] Hi, Thanks for the query. Sometimes urine pregnancy test may not detect early pregnancy. So you once go for ultrasound to find out the possibility of pregnancy. If there is no pregnancy, then the bleeding you are having could be scanty flow during periods. That can occur due to many causes like anemia, thyroid abnormalities, PCs etc. Black color can be seen due to collected blood in the uterus. For more details you can ask me through: http://www.ChatDoctor .com/doctors/ Chat Doctor.

[|Human|] hi, i had a bridge (permanent cap) for three missing teeth for 12 yrs and recently popped off. No pain involve. My dentist told me i needed a new porcelain bridge and before that can be done he needs to build-up on one tooth structure because it broke and he said my gum had receeded-the reason the bridge popped off (nothing to hold onto). Is getting a new porcelain permanent bridge the only option. He has not mentioned any option. Thanks
[|AI|] Dear friend. Thanks for sharing your concern. I think whatever your dentist has suggested is right. When an old bridge pops off, it breaks some tooth structure also with it. Exactly the same as happened in your case. In that case it cannot be cemented back on the previous location. The broken tooth has to be rebuilt so that it can support the crown and bridge placed on it. I would suggest you to take an x-ray and check for bone support around these teeth, if there is adequate bone support and your medical conditions are favorable, then you can go for implants also. Treatment with implants is little costlier than bridge. You will have to check with your oral surgeon regarding its placement, duration and durability. Hope it helps. Thanks

[|AI|] Hi, Welcome to ChatDoctorYour father suffered a paralytic attack that is CVA(Stroke) you have not given information which side means right side or left side, if it is right side usually speech is also affected. In such condition patient some time find difficult to swallow, they should be fed in sitting position and very slowly semisolid diet and keep good hygiene as otherwise food can get impacted and infection and thrush (Fungal) can occur. If there is cough during feeding there is risk of aspiration then you should put a Ryle’s tube for liquid feeding and supplements can be given to keep good nutrition.

One month before, he got some infection,upon checking the child specialist she recommended half dose of oxidil injection for 5days & he recovered, after one week we found rashes on his whole body and then we give decadron & avil injections in afternoon and night respectively, and he recovered and now when we give him anti allergy syrup rashes removed and when we stop the rashes appeared again, Please tell me y it is happening
[|AI|] Hello. Thank you for asking at Chat Doctor. I went through your sons' history. I would like to know more details about him like - what kind of infection did he have? Does he have any other complaints apart from rashes? Do rashes cause him itching/excessive crying? Does he have any digestion related complains - constipation/frequent diarrhea? Does he have any other allergies? Does he have any family member with allergies? Do you give any medicines frequently to him (for fever, pain, etc.) apart from anti-allergic medicines? From your given history, I would like to make following suggestions for him:1. Were I treating him, I would prescribe him montelukast and levocetirizine for 1 week and review his response. I would suggest you to apply lotion like calamine over his itchy areas.2. An infection related rash can sometimes last for 4-6 weeks after infection. If he has persistent symptoms beyond 6 weeks, I would suggest him to investigate for food allergies, intestinal worms and other intestinal infections, urinary infections etc.3. Some Chat Doctor.

[|AI|] Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You have kidney pain due to stone. Treatment depends on size and location of stone. A small stone of less than 3 mm size required no treatment. Larger stone required surgical intervention. For pain relief tablet diclofenac should be taken. You should go for ultrasound abdomen to check the stone and other complications like HY Chat Doctor. Then you should take further treatment accordingly. Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Wish you a very good health.

[|Human|] In the last 3 months I have started taking Effexor XR with my Vyvanse. My Effexor is 37.5 mg once daily and my Vyvanse is 60 mg once daily. Over the last two months I have been experiencing a lot of nausea. However the last three weeks it has gotten worse and there are other things going on. I have been shaky, muscle weakness, fatigue, headaches, general nervous feeling, headaches, chills (not with fever), cloudy mind. Am I having a reaction to the two medications being mixed? What do I need to do to get off the effexor if I am?
[|AI|] Hello, If you are taking the 2 medications on the recommendation of the prescribing doctor then, you should check in with them for advice on how to reduce or eliminate one of them. If you are NOT taking both together on your doctors' advice then, you probably should've been doing that, to begin with, and so it is just a matter of separating the doses out, one from the other. You should not necessarily be taking the two medications together if they were not intended to be taken by your doctor in the first place. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Chat Doctor.

[|Human|] Hi, I am Cathi D. I have been experiencing lower abdominal pain and discomfort. Over a week ago, I had rectal bleeding for 4 days. I went to the Hospital with the bleeding and lower abdominal pain. My blood work came out fine, so I was sent home.I went to a Gastronologist, had an exam. and then to have an Abdominal and Pelvic Cat Scan with Contrast. The results came back to say it was negative. No findings of anything.That was 2 days ago and I still have this pain and discomfort. What else do you think it could be?
[|AI|] Hi Cathy D ! It is good that all the relevant investigations has come out to be ok in your case. But I would suggest you to go for a colonoscopy by your gastroenterologist considering the duration of your bleeding per rectum. In case of females, rectal endometriosis has to be excluded by a gynecologist which can bleed during menstrual periods and also cause pain and discomfort in the lower abdomen. Please take care.

A brain scan yesterday was clear.A biopsy from a mole on her neck is still awaiting result. A body scan has found a cyst on her kydney.Other tests,urine and blood have turned up nothing.What else can cause this. Anne
[|AI|] Respected Anne , Welcome to Chat Doctor.come have evaluated your query thoroughly.* This is most probably in relation with pneumonia associated with systemic manifestations more overly going to multi organ dysfunction state.* One comment is certain that this patient can not be managed at home, she must be in hospital for intensive care. Hope this will help you for sure. Welcome for any further guidance. Regards dear.

[|Human|] This is a senario; a 9 month old girl was admitted to hospital with chronic diarrhoea, intestinal cramps and flatulence. her weight gain had been slightly below normal for the first 6 months of life, but had become considerably below normal in the past 3 months. diarrhoea first became obvious at about 6 months. microscopic analysis of the faeces did not reveal any abnormalities. a sample of urine is available for analysis. What could her possible diagnosis be and why did the diarrhoea start at 6 months ? ( I assume it is because she was weaned off breast milk and it has something to do with amylase enzyme)
[|AI|] Hi... Thank you for consulting in Chat Doctor. I understand your concern. I have a few questions and will suggest few possibilities. Questions:1. What was the birth weight and what is the current weight?2. How is the attaining of developmental milestones?3. Is the stool oily and floats in the pan?4. Is there any color change in the hair or skin?5. Is there any history of recurrent serious infections? Possibilities:1. Chronic diarrhea - ? Fat malabsorption2. Micro Nutrient deficiency3. Immunodeficiency either primary or acquired. 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.

[|Human|] This weekend my 5 year old son got a 101 temp with a bad cough, complaints of sore throat, head ache and stomache ache. By the first night it had spiked to 103.4 It went down after Anacetaminophen every 4 hours the next day to 101.4 and then down further to 100. By sunday evening the fever had gone and all that remained was a bad cough with yellow phlem and a occasional clear runny nose. His head ache and stomache ache had gone within a couple of hours of the first night. Now he has a fever again at 100.3 and he complains of stomache ache again. What do I do? Do I let his body fight this and continue with what Im doing or do I take him to the family doctor and get him on anti-biotics?
[|AI|] Thanks for asking on Chat Doctor. Most often such symptoms in child Chat Doctor. But the high temperatures need to be desperately brought under control. If acetaminophen does not seem to be very effective, Metal P syrup should be given. It contains metonymic acid which is more effective than acetaminophen. But it is a prescription medication, and you need to get it prescribed by your doctor. Give tepid sponging as well. It will also take care of body ache and headache. You need to give steam inhalation and some anti-allergic medicines during the episodes since it is associated with some allergic component. You should take the child to a doctor and get him examined especially if the fever lasts for more than 7 days or if the child becomes lethargic. However, I do not suppose that antibiotics need to be given as they are ineffective in viral infections.

[|Human|] I ve been having slight throbbing behind ears, tightness in neck, tightness in throat, very slight nausea, slight head headache, tight breathing. Kind of feel like a cold coming on, fighting it, or allergies? Not really sneezing a lot, slight watery eyes. Worst is tightness in throat and strange feeling in upper chest and breathing
[|AI|] Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. In my opinion you are having bronchitis. As your symptoms like chest tightness and breathing difficulties are seen in bronchitis. So get done PFT (Pulmonary Function Test) to rule out bronchitis. PFT is needed not only to diagnose bronchitis but can also tell about severity of the disease. And treatment of bronchitis is based on severity only. If PFT is normal than mostly upper Respiratory tract infection (URI) is the cause. As throat tightness is seen in URI. So try to follow these steps. 1. Avoid oily and spicy food. Chat Doctor. Warm water gargles 5 - 6 times a day. 2. Caroline group of antibiotic. Antihistamine and anti-inflammatory

[|Human|] I have a chronic pain in my upper left teeth is not dental related. I have had a root canal and dental implants and still have steady throbbing pain. It gets worse sometimes when the weather changes. It always throbs though. I have had it for 35 years
[|AI|] Though the pain that you are having is not related to dental as per you but I suggest you to get that eliminated by your dentist once as such pain may be due to do an inadequately done root canal treatment and also if your dental implant has impinged the maxillary sinus. If the pain is not due to that and specially when it has been worsening by weather then sinusitis may be the cause for which a proper care by an ENT specialist along with regular use of nasal Chat Doctor.

[|Human|] Hi My mother who is 80 does sit lot,when sitting her legs turn red from the feet up and are swell up also..With the redness she has pain..What I would like to know if this is caused by the heart..She does have heart problems..Just about to forget she also has heat with the redness and shinny legs. Sorry to take up your time I thought this was free..Can t afford 15.00..Thanks anyway
[|AI|] Hi your mothers condition is caused most probably by weak heart pumping action which leads to accumulation of fluid in the legs and feet. This part is below the heart and gravity contributes to this also. In addition, she may be having a partial block of the veins which take the blood away from the legs. She sits a lot which is not good and should walk around and use elastic stockings which help this to some extent. Another important thing is a check-up by your doctor to see if the veins affected are the deep ones or those near the skin. Medication will be needed for this. Keep the legs elevated while sitting, and she may do ankle foot exercises to aid in pumping of the blood. You are most welcome and hope this is useful for your mother. Please take this advice free

[|Human|] Hi I have a recurring sore throat (no tonsils) headache, jaw ache which Ive had for three weeks now. Im also much more hungrier than usual.Could this be connected to teeth - a filling came out some time ago and havent had chance to get to the dentist.
[|AI|] Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor forum. You have got sore throat, headache, jaw ache since weeks. If it is accompanied by the cold as well it may be due to the cold of allergy, or viral infection. If you didn't have the cold, it can be due to the tooth pain. I advise you to consult a physician for diagnosis and treatment. I usually prescribe to my patient with such symptoms lifetime, phenylephrine, cetirizine, and paracetamol. Wishing for a quick and complete recovery. Thank you.

[|Human|] I m a 38 year old female diagnosed 2 years ago with spondylosis in my neck and back (C4,5,and 6 and L3,4,5 and moving to 6). I walk 6 or 7 days a week but would really like to do some jogging and do a 5k. Is jogging okay with this diagnosis? I really don t want to cause myself more harm later.
[|AI|] Hello, What I can infer from your complaints is that you have age-related degeneration of spine, although I appreciate you planning to start jogging. Few tips I would suggest before you begin:- normalize your weight according to your height-start by brisk walking and slowly graduate to slow run and then jogging over a period of 6 months You have not told me about any medical conditions but better to get your BP and sugar levels. If any doubt consult your physician. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

[|Human|] I am having an odd issue with my mouth. The underside of my tongue and the entire area undery tongue feels as if it is was previously burned. It is versus Ty and almost sticky . My umdersode of my tongue actually feels like it is sticking to the bottom of my mounts. My upper gums feel the same but not as severe. The areas are red but no sores. What could this be?
[|AI|] Hello & welcome on the basis of symptoms you are presenting here this could be a muscle. Mucocele is a fluid filled cyst usually occur under the tongue because of blocked secretory glands & get burst without any pain. The fluid released may cause sticky feeling.no treatment require for this unless until you feel pain or area get infected, this cyst may reoccur very frequently. You have to maintain adequate oral hygiene with 0.12% chlorhexidine mouthwash and warm saline rinses.

[|AI|] Thanks for your query at Chat Doctor! Your "O" title is = 1:100 and "AH"= 1:160 which suggest that you probably are suffering from Typhoid fever/Paratyphoid A fever. I would like to know had you received TAB vaccine in recent past? You have not mentioned your symptoms? Based on symptoms you can start antibiotics like Ciprofloxacin/Azithromycin for 10-14 days after getting prescribed by a local physician. I suggest confirming your diagnosis you must repeat the test after 15 days to see rise in "titles" which will confirm your diagnosis. There is nothing serious it is completely curable. You can get other tests done like mammogram, blood culture, Typhoon test to be completely sure. Take care!

[|Human|] I had a stent inserted in the mid lad 2 years ago. A few months ago I started having the same symptoms that I had before the heart Cath that showed a 90 percent blockage. After another heart Cath 2 months ago, I have 80 percent blockage below the stent in the distal region of the lad. I m going to cardio on Friday to learn the game plan. What are your ideas?
[|AI|] As I understand, the reason of having a redo path was you were symptomatic, so the lesion warrants some treatment.depending on how large is the LAD and the territory supplied by it, most importantly you should optimize your anti-anginal medication, beta blockers, nitrate s SOS nicorandil, reinflating or trimetazidine depending on the country you reside. It the territory supplies is significant a redo angioplasty and if you are diabetic and other features of coronary angiogram shows high rate of restenosis, a LIMA bypass to Lad should be the option. Regards

[|Human|] Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ? Please type your query here...sirs, my semen obtained by copulation was examined by a lab technologist yesterday and in the result, my semen was found viscid with 3.0ml voluime, 37 million per ml sperm count, 3-4 lhpf Pus cells, 80% normal cells with 70% actively motile. Am presently 36 yrs plus. Pls, what drug can I take or what is the solution to my infertility. Thanks.
[|AI|] HelloWelcome here. I can understand your concerns. In my opinion, the semen analysis is almost normal, except the counts which is slightly low. I would suggest you to take tablet paternal twice a day for 3-6 months. This is claimed to be effective in increasing sperm count. Also, quit alcohol and smoking if you do. Never wear tight underpants. Take fruits and green vegetables in your diet. Vitamin E and C supplements can act as antioxidants and may help you. Wish you good health. Thanks.

[|Human|] being easter i cannot reach my gp.... however last evening i had sudden drop in BP with low heart rate. nitro lingual seemed to ease it a lot but after being fairly normal this morning it has occured again even with a trans dermal 50 on diastolic dropped to below 60 with pulse rate below 45.. I do not feel otherwise serious ill..
[|AI|] Nitroglycerin itself is the reason of your blood pressure fall, as it will dilate your arteries your diastolic blood pressure falls, avoid it if there is no chest heaviness Or exertional breathlessness. However, I will suggest you to get an EKG done particularly when your heart rate is on lover side. Likewise, if you are on beta blocker group of Chat Doctor. Do re titrate your medication when your GP returns. Regards.

[|Human|] Hi, I have a question about kidney issues. Brief background: all my life, I ve had chronic stones; 4 years ago, 1 kidney failed; I was just hospitalized at the end of Oct/ beginning of Nov for extremely high triglycerides, very swollen pancreas, & erratic heartbeat. At that point, it was discovered that my other kidney had started to shrink. How bad does this situation sound? I m worried because I still have children at home to care for. Also, I have very little access to medical care
[|AI|] Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor. As a Urologist, i can understand your concern. You must write age and sex. By now you must've been referred to a nephrologist, for kidney failure. A solitary functioning kidney with shrinkage, is a sign of failing function. Check the following :1. Urine routine, culture,and ACR; 2. Blood routine, creatinine,RBS, uric acid, LFT,platelets, lipase and electrolytes. Repeat lipid profiles, ECG and echo scans as advised.3. Ultrasound scandium, with residual urine (THUS, and PSA, if male). If you've any doubts, send a direct question to me, with all reports. Chat Doctor. Manga.

Hi, I have a question about kidney issues. Brief background: all my life, I ve had chronic stones; 4 years ago, 1 kidney failed; I was just hospitalized at the end of Oct/ beginning of Nov for extremely high triglycerides, very swollen pancreas, & erratic heartbeat. At that point, it was discovered that my other kidney had started to shrink. How bad does this situation sound? I m worried because I still have children at home to care for. Also, I have very little access to medical care

[|Human|] I have been having sharp pains go through the lower right back of the head that shoots over the to left whenever I cough, sneeze and bend over. My sister, great Aunt and now my mother has had a brain anerism (sp?), and now I am concerned since this has started only about three months ago.
[|AI|] Hello, I read carefully your query and understand your concern. Your symptoms seem to be related to occipital neuralgia. Occipital neuralgia is a condition in which the nerves that run from the top of the spinal cord up through the scalp, called the occipital nerves, are inflamed. I suggest using anti-inflammatory medication such as Ibuprofen 400 mg three times a Dy. If the symptoms continue, I suggest seeing a neurologist and get evaluated. Hope my answer was helpful. If you have further queries feel free to contact me again. Kind regards! Chat Doctor.

[|Human|] My husband is 40 years old and he is getting some very abnormal feelings from past 2-3 months, he says he is hearing people talking about him when there is nobody around him, he doubts that i am using some communication to threaten him, he doubts me that i doing some conspiracy against him, if he goes to public places he says that people are coming to beat him up in groups which is not true, because i was with in some situations where nothing like that was happening, but he was telling that people are trying to attack him . Please advice what is this problem and how i should cope with this
[|AI|] His had gone through your query. Hearing of voices in absence of anyone suggest auditory hallucinations. Fearfulness and auspiciousness that someone would harm him suggest delusion. So delusion and auditory hallucination are the prime symptoms of psychotic illness most probably schizophreniform or schizophrenia. But detail evaluation is needed before reach any conclusion. So consult psychiatrist and get help. It can be treated with different modalities. Early treatment will bring fast and better recovery. So consult. I hope I have answered your query. Happy to help you further. Thank you.

[|Human|] hi my mum has pancreatic cancer and is on 100mg morphine patch plus morphine tablets she lives a distance from me so I don t see her all the time although I visited today to notice her complexion had gone completely pale and colourless I have never seen anything like this before why would this happen
[|AI|] Pancreatic cancer per se does not cause paleness (which is probably due to low hemoglobin). Nor do the medicines that you have written she is on. So, there could be a number of reasons for her paleness. First could be a poor oral intake. If that is the case then that would explain it. Otherwise, it could be due to the tumor bleeding inside. In which case an endoscopy and ablation of the bleeding will be required. Also, in this case she may have black colored stools or blood in the vomits. First, get a hemoglobin estimation done and if it low then follow the above algorithm.

[|Human|] Recently, I have broken up with my boyfriend and ever since I seem to have had serious mood swings. I went out last night and I was fine then all of a sudden I felt deeply emotional and upset and I couldnt explain it. I did think it could be a hormone imbalance but its happened twice now and I think it could be something else.
[|AI|] Degree understand your concerns went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. For the time being, I wish to suggest that there are no hormonal imbalances in your current cases. These are normal. You are disappointed. Disappointment in life events, especially those events related to love, tend to affect the victims negatively for some time. People call it depression. But this is not clinical depression. This is state of mind arisen out of disappointment. Once you are able to put those pieces together and understand, your disappointment and allied symptoms should vanish. If you require more of my help in this aspect, Please post a direct question to me in this URL. http://goo.gl/aYW2pR. Make sure that you include every minute details possible. I shall prescribe the needed psychotherapy techniques. Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications. Good luck.

[|Human|] i have 2 pea sized moveable lumps in the left side of my neck. They dont hurt or cause any bother. I seem to have had them for quite a while, years in fact. Im a healthy person and exercise 6 days a week. I have mentioned these to a doctor some time ago but he said not to worry. Think he said something like im a hairy person and could be blocked folicals or fatty grizle or something, what do you think as every website seems to be all doom and gloom?
[|AI|] HelloS welling in neck area may be due to enlarged lymph node. It needs clinical examination and investigations. Neck area is a common site of lymph node enlargement. It may be due to neck, scalp or throat infection. Other causes of swelling may be lipoma, blocked hair follicle etc. You may need ultrasound of neck region. Ultrasound is very helpful in assessing its origin and management. Generally it resolves with treatment of underlying cause. Generally it is not a serious problem. Get well soon. Take Care Chat Doctor.

[|Human|] there is a growth of wisdom teeth in right lower jaw. Its hurting me alot.. One of my friend who is working in medical shop suggested me to use AmoxyRite Plus + AcecloRite Plus tablets. Can I use them for temporory pain relief.. Please help out me in this
[|AI|] Hi. Can understand your concern. As per your complaint it seems that you are suffering from PERITONITIS which is inflammation of gum flap over the wisdom tooth and is caused when there is no maintenance of proper oral hygiene and there is deposition of food debris in between the gum flap and the wisdom tooth or the gum flap is bitten by the opposite jaw tooth. It is a very painful condition and pain can radiate to entire jaw, ear, eye,throat and head. There can be enlargement of lymph nodes below the jaw. You should consult a dentist and get an x-ray done and if the wisdom tooth will erupt itself and is in correct line of eruption you can take a course of antibiotics and painkillers and once the pain subside the gum flap can be surgically removed. In case if the tooth is impacted and will not erupt completely by itself extraction of the wisdom tooth should be done. As for now Amoxapine Plus(Amoxicillin 250 mg + Dicloxicillin 250 mg) and Accelerate Plus (Diclofenac 100 mg+ Paracetamol 500 mg) can be taken for relief. Along with it do saline gargles also. But consulting dentist and getting treated can only solve the issue permanently. Hope this information helps. If you find the answer helpful kindly write a positive review and click on found this answer helpful as a token of appreciation. Thanks and regards. Chat Doctor. .

[|Human|] My daughter is 14 years old. For the past week she have been having back pains as well as a stomach ache, headache. Also shes weak and nauseous with a sore throat. What could be wrong with her? Is there anything specific I can do to help her feel better? Is there anything specific she should eat?
[|AI|] HiT hank you for asking Chat Doctor. I have gone through your query. Your daughters' problem can be due to gastritis. It gives nausea, headache and even pain due to constipation. In such case proton pump inhibitor therapy like omeprazole and anti-emetic risperidone for the 1 to 2 weeks will be helpful. I also recommend worm eradication in such cases. She should also eat proper food at proper time. Hope this may help you. Let me know if you have any further queries.

[|Human|] My otherwise healthy, breastfeeding, 12 mo old has her first illness. High fever (103-104+). She has twitching that seems like exaggerated startle response while awake and when drifting off to sleep but she responds as if it is painful, like getting shocked. Not seizures, she is fully conscious and breathing regularly. Just hyperactive nerves r/t fever?
[|AI|] Hi. I understand your anxiety. I feel your child has got a probable viral illness. Any viral fever can cause very high temperatures. As long as she is not having lethargy or inactivity or any other unusual symptoms you need not panic. Some child Chat Doctor. You can give her paracetamol suspension (15 mg per kilo of her body weight). Please calculate based on the strength of the suspension. If fever doesn't resolve by 48 hours, or she is out of her normalcy you can consult a pediatrician in person.

[|Human|] My 5 year old daughter has been running a high temperature for 3 days. As high as 39.5. We have seen Doctor today who has said possible viral infection, or water infection. She has had one dose of trimethoprim and up to 5 hours ago a high temperature still, we have treated this with paracetamol and ibuprofen as advised. She has been asleep for 4 hours and now has a temperature of 34.3. What should I do?
[|AI|] Viral infections are pretty common in child Chat Doctor. Since it is not caused by bacteria, antibiotics are ineffective. Viral infections resolve spontaneously in 5-7 days even without the use of antibiotics. Treatment is supportive. All you have to do is to bring down the fever by the use of paracetamol or ibuprofen. You may give some antiallergic syrup like levocetirizine for a few days. Please rest assured that things would soon be fine, and you need not worry.

[|Human|] Hi, Murali Here, I am suffering from abdominal pain from last 4 months. Occurs once twice in months and stays for 3 to 4 days. When its there it makes me wake up at night. Currently from last 10 days I am taking Pataprazol 40mg daily. Still the pain and gas formation sensation is there.
[|AI|] Hi, The pain you are having might be related to too much gas accumulating inside your bowels. I suggest to start taking dimethicone for gas and probiotics to optimize intestinal flora. If your abdominal pain is also associated with changes in bowel movements, I suggest getting your stool examined for ova/parasites and cultured too. Abdominal ultrasound is necessary to rule out abdominal pathologies. It will take few days to get the symptoms relieved. If within a month after starting the medications, you will still have the pain, then, abdominal Ct-scan might be needed for further evaluation. Chat Doctor.

[|Human|] Hi Doc, Im 24 years old.. 2 yrs back i was affected by Pulmonary TB and I was put on medicine for 9 months then I cured but last Aug I had lymph node TB here lower neck (Pus collection) the same was removed by surgery and Im continuing the medicine since 5 month.. Now I have planned to get married..can you please let me know if ill have any problem in relationship.
[|AI|] Hi & Welcome. I can understand your concern. Incomplete data ? Gender. Tuberculosis of the lymph node does not affect the marital relationship. However, the anti TB medications like Pyrazinamide & Streptomycin are not safe during pregnancy as they are known to cause harmful effects (spina bifida by Pyrazinamide & neonatal or congenital deafness by Streptomycin) on the growing fetus (unborn child). Hence, they are contraindicated during pregnancy. Hope this answers your query.

[|Human|] I was just hospitalized and diagnosed with chiari malformation. one doctor said I had fluid in my brain that didn t know where to go. this is after the results of my MRI. another doctor rushed into the room and said that I didn t have fluid that my brain stem was inflamed and this is the reason I may have passed out. Well I didn t just pass out. My blood pressure was low, I was blue ,cold, stiff and I was disoriented and my daughters called the ambulance it took all three to wake me up and when they did wake me I started coughing, The peramedics asked if I wanted to go to the hospital I refused. they also said I had low blood pressure and they asked to see my meds which I keep in a safe. They also asked if I took a second dose without noticing. I said no because its a forced habit already 2 ys same time. Well @ 5:30 that night I asked my daughter to take me to the ER. I stayed in the Hospital for 3 days and the doctors asked me if I tried to kill myself, since I have a pain mgmt. doctor and receive pain meds and epidaural injections in my cervical spine and my lumbar. I have 2 disks in my cervical that are cessation disks and 4 in my lumbar that are also cessation disks (I don t think I spelled those correctly but without fluid is how it was described to me), When asked where does the fluid that was in the disks go? no one could give me an answer that was satisfactory. Getting on with the situation. I was released and have been home for this will b the 3rd night. I have episodes of being drunk disoriented my neck right at the base of my head is tender to the touch I have a burning sensation in the upper left quadrant above the base of my skull, I usually get headaches on the right side behind my eye and above my right ear towards the back of my skull. (My opthomologist insists I have glaucoma and that I have nerve damage along with it) I added this part incase it was a factor. well the base of my skull at the back of my neck is tender to touch and my eyes were swollen the first and second (tues and wed) night in the hospital. I do take Pain meds, Im going to give you a list just so we are on the same page. Nueronten 800 mg 4 times a day, Flexeril 15mg 4 times a day, Tramadol 50mg 4 times a day, Oxycodone 10mg/325 acetaminaphine, 4 times a day, Morphine 15mg 3 times a day, Xanax 0.5mg 4 times a day, amitriptyline 25mg only at bedtime, and phentermine 37.5mg only in the morning. Ok with that being said I take 1 Nueronton, 1 Flexeril, ! Tramadol ! Xanax 1 Oxycodone ! Morphine 1 Phentermine in the morning same time everyday for 2 yrs @ 9:30 am and I take 1 Neuronton 1 Flexeril 1 Tramadol 1 Xanax 1 Oxycodone 1 Morphine 1 Amitriptyline @ 9:30 pm again for 2 yrs. plus the injections every four months cervical and lumbar. So at the hospital I went in at 5:30pm I still had the drunk feeling and disorientation with a slur I deciced that perhaps I was experiencing a stroke or had possible had a seizure. ER took blood and said that I didn t have enough of those medications in my system at 6:00pm for it to have been an overdose so they gave me the MRI. I was seriously fatigued I feel like my eyes muscles couldn t control themselves. Almost like when you need sleep they want to stay open but cant well that s how I feel when I get these episodes and when I pass out my head is all the way back. Will someone plz give me an answer. Im hurting and suffering because im afraid to take more than the doses I set up for myself. I don t want to b addicted to pain killers and I don t want to be dependent on them. they get me throught the twelve hrs inbetween and that s good enough for me. I have stopped taking the amitriptyline and the phentermine and have either taken one Percocet or one morphine at the twelve hour intervals but not both.. oh yea I never just pass out after taking my morning set of meds I clean do laundry or just do things around the house. and by night time im in pain but not that much pain so after taking those its about 12:30am that I usually end up in bed after watching tv, laptop or on my cell phone. this passing out is not a typical thing for me.
[|AI|] Thanks for giving a nice history medications you are using.You are having multiple cervical n lumbar disc bulges n also u were recently diagnosed to have Arnold Chiara malformation. In Arnold Chiara there will be obstruction to the flow of cerebrospinal fluid from brain to spine due consular descent causing a block at the level of foramen magnum n many times it is associated with HY Chat Doctor. Most of the symptoms which u have may be attributed to Arnold Chiara n severe neck pain may be due to multiple cervical disc bulges. I personally feel you are using many medications of which tramadol,morphine, oxycodone all belong to opioid medication which may lead to dependence. Pls use only one of these n that also u try to taper it slowly. Tab phenteramine should be used only for 2-3 weeks.it is nice that u stopped using it. I advise u to consult a neurosurgeon n he will tell u whether u require surgery for Arnold Chiara. If it is associated with HY

I was just hospitalized and diagnosed with chiari malformation. one doctor said I had fluid in my brain that didn t know where to go. this is after the results of my MRI. another doctor rushed into the room and said that I didn t have fluid that my brain stem was inflamed and this is the reason I may have passed out. Well I didn t just pass out. My blood pressure was low, I was blue ,cold, stiff and I was disoriented and my daughters called the ambulance it took all three to wake me up and when they did wake me I started coughing, The peramedics asked if I wanted to go to the hospital I refused. they also said I had low blood pressure and they asked to see my meds which I keep in a safe. They also asked if I took a second dose without noticing. I said no because its a forced habit already 2 ys same time. Well @ 5:30 that night I asked my daughter to take me to the ER. I stayed in the Hospital for 3 days and the doctors asked me if I tried to kill myself, since I have a pain mgmt. doctor and receive pain meds and epidaural injections in my cervical spine and my lumbar. I have 2 disks in my cervical that are cessation disks and 4 in my lumbar that are also cessation disks (I don t think I spelled those correctly but without fluid is how it was described to me), When asked where does the fluid that was in the disks go? no one could give me an answer that was satisfactory. Getting on with the situation. I was released and have been home for this will b the 3rd night. I have episodes of being drunk disoriented my neck right at the base of my head is tender to the touch I have a burning sensation in the upper left quadrant above the base of my skull, I usually get headaches on the right side behind my eye and above my right ear towards the back of my skull. (My opthomologist insists I have glaucoma and that I have nerve damage along with it) I added this part incase it was a factor. well the base of my skull at the back of my neck is tender to touch and my eyes were swollen the first and second (tues and wed) night in the hospital. I do take Pain meds, Im going to give you a list just so we are on the same page. Nueronten 800 mg 4 times a day, Flexeril 15mg 4 times a day, Tramadol 50mg 4 times a day, Oxycodone 10mg/325 acetaminaphine, 4 times a day, Morphine 15mg 3 times a day, Xanax 0.5mg 4 times a day, amitriptyline 25mg only at bedtime, and phentermine 37.5mg only in the morning. Ok with that being said I take 1 Nueronton, 1 Flexeril, ! Tramadol ! Xanax 1 Oxycodone ! Morphine 1 Phentermine in the morning same time everyday for 2 yrs @ 9:30 am and I take 1 Neuronton 1 Flexeril 1 Tramadol 1 Xanax 1 Oxycodone 1 Morphine 1 Amitriptyline @ 9:30 pm again for 2 yrs. plus the injections every four months cervical and lumbar. So at the hospital I went in at 5:30pm I still had the drunk feeling and disorientation with a slur I deciced that perhaps I was experiencing a stroke or had possible had a seizure. ER took blood and said that I didn t have enough of those medications in my system at 6:00pm for it to have been an overdose so they gave me the MRI.

[|Human|] Hi Im a 28yr old Female. Weigh about 219, 62inches . I checked my pulse rate and it is 109bpm, I smoke pot every so often and last two times Ive checked it, it has been beating really hard. As if it wants to burst., is this something to be concerned about or does the marijuana has a significant part in relation to the heavy beating?
[|AI|] Hi, This is Chat Doctor. Increased heart rate & palpitations can have a lot of causes. It can be normal sinus tachycardia due to anxiety or stress, or it could be abnormal supra ventricular tachycardia. For the diagnosis, you need to do ECG at the time of palpitation & tachycardia. If the duration of palpitations are short enough to reach a nearby hospital, we put a 24hr ECG monitoring (Holder Monitor). You also need to do a 2D Echo & thyroid function test to see for any associated abnormality if any. Thanks

[|Human|] I had bladder cancer in 2000. Treated as outpatient. No chemo. I noticed blood in my urine yesterday morning. Saw my internist at 11:45 AM. Gave me a referral to see a urologist, next Thursday. At 2 pm, same day, I checked my urine, which was clear of any blood . Subequent urine samples show no traces of any blood. I am 88 years old and ride the stationary bicycle for 30 minutes daily. I also had ba ck surgery for spinal stenosis about two years ago. What is the probable cause of the blood and should I still see the urologist and undergo a cat scan and other tests.
[|AI|] Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. Yes you should definitely consult urologist and get done PET scan. Since you are patient of bladder cancer, there is high possibility of recurrence of bladder malignancy. Blood in urine is the most common and earliest symptom of bladder cancer. So you may have recurrence. You would first get done urine microscopy and ultrasound examination of abdomen. And PET Scan is needed to rule out distal metastases. So consult urologist and discuss all these.

[|Human|] Hi I have had a holter ecg done and my average heart rate was 111 with the highest 180 and the lowest 60. I am very tired and feel as if I am trembling the whole time. I get breathless very easily and feel very emotional. The ecg was not normal but my GP merely said that I had a few extra beats. Should I be worried?
[|AI|] Hello, I understand your concern and would explain that your symptoms seem to be related to anxiety. Nevertheless, I would recommend performing some blood lab tests in order to investigate for possible metabolic disorder: - complete blood count for anemia-thyroid hormone levels for possible thyroid gland dysfunction- blood electrolytes for possible imbalance. If all the above tests result normal, you should consider anxiety as the main cause underlying your complaints. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

[|Human|] my father undergone TURP in 2006 and biopsy report was non malignent.but as psa level was more than 40 the sugeon prescribed cyptamed for 3 months.as psa level lowered to around 12, doctor reexamined the sample but the report was same..The surgeon then prescribed lupride(3.75),one each in next three months.afterwards psa level lowered down below 2.medine was stopped for next 2 years but when psa was again checked the level found to be plus 40.this time lupride(11.25) was adminstered,one each in next three months.medicine was stopped as the psa leve fall below 2.Last months psa test showed psa level shoot up to 39.My father(90 yrs old) is reluctant to visit a doctor because he is not suffering from urination problem nor he is aware that he was being teated with cancer medicine.Would you kindly suggest what should be the best step forward.
[|AI|] Hello. The treatment that has received his father is correct. A prostate cancer in a person of 50 years, the treatment is removed the prostate and radiotherapy. The treatment is aggressive, but the benefits outweigh the adverse effects. A prostate cancer in a person of 90 years, must be considered that life expectancy is short and cancer progress slowly. Surgery and radiotherapy cause more adverse effects than benefits and therapy is injected hormonal treatment. If PSA level is now in 39, the injected hormonal treatment would need again. Althought now he don't have pain, the cancer can spread to the bones and cause pain. I wish you good health.(In case the answer would have been useful please indicate this)

[|Human|] I am 63 and I have gallstones, I have started noticing upper arm pain and upper leg pain mostly at night, plus I have a hard time bending over. I work a part time job that requires some lifting at times and the next day i have pain. I have lost over 50 pounds on a very low or almost fat free diet to help my gallbladder problem. Any ideas?
[|AI|] Hi and welcome to Chat Doctor. Thanks for the query. There is diet for people with gallbladder and liver problems, but the best solution would be surgery since this is permanent treatment. Everything else is not so efficient, so you may have problem with it in the future. In every case you need to eat fewer fats, avoid coffee and alcohol, avoid overeating and Chat Doctor. Wish you good health. Regards

[|AI|] Hi Dear, Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of hair loss despite medication which seems to be due to compromised immunity of body, stress, systemic conditions, improper hygiene, fungal infection and hormonal changes. Need not worry. I would suggest you to - Do massage of hair scalp on a daily basis ad try if it could be done with olive oil. - Take biotin capsules on a daily basis and start with Finasteride preparations. - You should avoid using shampoos that contain excessive chemicals.- Take diet rich in supplements like vitamin A, Omega-3 and vitamin E. - Take a protein-rich diet and healthy food intake on a daily basis. If symptoms keep on persisting visit dermatologist once and get it examined and start treatment with antifungal medication and shampoo. Hope your concern has been resolved. Best Wishes,

[|Human|] hello, i had a fall about 3 weeks ago off my motor bike. i went to the hospital and had several xrays they have said no broken bones, the external bruising was very bad but faded away now but the lump on my right thigh is big and painful, should i ask for a second opinion or leave it a while longer???
[|AI|] Hello! Thank you for the query. This lump is most likely a blood collection in the soft tissues (hematoma). Due to some veins rupture and bleeding blood has appeared outside the blood vessels. Large hematoma won't go away by itself. Sooner or later it will become infected and turn into an abscess. That is why I suggest you to do not wait with it and consult a surgeon. Blood should be Chat Doctor. Hope this will help. Regards.

[|Human|] I have adenoid cystic carcinoma with numerous large lung mets. The original site (bartholin gland) has not had any recurrent disease. I have had a chronic cough for a long time. Recently, coughing jags are followed by an unexpected small vomit. The first vomit seems to be almost burped up, then the gagging/coughing continues. I am end stage and am short of breath when I go up stairs or walk any distance. Is the vomiting a result of progressive disease or more likely have another cause.

[|Human|] Hello,I have been having pain in my left abdominal. Sometimes I feel like somthing has swollen or there is gas or just pain. I saw a GP last month and tests showed I had a fibroid that is 1cm and UTI. Do you think that could be the cause of my pain?
[|AI|] Hi. Thanks for your query. Read the history and understood your problem.1 cm fibroid in the uterus can not cause pain in the left lower abdomen. UTI can, provided there is a stone in the left ureter. I would advise you the following:-Consult a Gastroenterologist or a General Surgeon.-Get a clinical evaluation and have physical examination to see for the probable causes of pain on the left side of the abdomen, viz. Colitis, PID, Ovarian or tubal problems. Ultrasonography and colonoscopy will help the maximum to go to the root of the cause. -A 5-day basic course of an antibiotic and metronidazole may help to solve the problem.

[|Human|] My son has been complaining of a stomach ache since yesterday. He has a fever . We took him to the pediatrician and they indicated it was a virus. Today, he vomited twice in the morning. His stomach ache is low on his abdomen , and he says he cannot stand to sit up or walk. Should we go to the ER (of course, I m worried about appendicitis ).
[|AI|] Hello. Thanks for using forum on Chat Doctor. Of course your concern about appendicitis is justified considering the symptoms you described. Appendicitis presents with pain on the right side of abdomen, vomiting, fever, lethargic and specially in a child where he/she cannot sit up or walk. You should consider visiting the ER as soon as you can, since appendicitis presents with more complications in child Chat Doctor. A viral infection of gastrointestinal tract can also present with similar symptoms, however it's always better for a second opinion. Feel free for further queries. Regards.

His stomach ache is low on his abdomen , and he says he cannot stand to sit up or walk. Should we go to the ER (of course, I m worried about appendicitis ).

Hello. Thanks for using forum on Chat Doctor. Of course your concern about appendicitis is justified considering the symptoms you described. Appendicitis presents with pain on the right side of abdomen, vomiting, fever, lethargic and specially in a child where he/she cannot sit up or walk. You should consider visiting the ER as soon as you can, since appendicitis presents with more complications in child Chat Doctor. A viral infection of gastrointestinal tract can also present with similar symptoms, however it's always better for a second opinion. Feel free for further queries. Regards.

[|Human|] hi , sir i have a sever pain in my back tooth actually , my back tooth was removed last year because of some issue well i am getting pain now at that place,could you suggest any medicens for me
[|AI|] Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query. The pain can be because EOF infection from any root piece left out during previous extraction or infection from the neighboring tooth. Consult an oral physician and get a radiograph done to rule out any root piece remaining in the extracted tooth site or infection in the nest tooth.Meanwhile you can take a course of antibiotics like amoxicillin 500 mg and metronidazole 400 mg TID for 5 days (if you are not allergic). If there is a root piece then get it removed or if there is infection in the next tooth get it treated with root canal treatment or extraction. Do saline gargling. I hope my answer will help you, take care.

[|Human|] hello doctor, i am mahesh suffering from psoriasis from past 10 years.I want to ask that is there any permanent cure for it .tablets doesnt suits me so i was using dipsalic ointement from past 5 years but it is not curing much what should i do plz help me.
[|AI|] Dear FriendWelcome to Chat Doctor. I am Chat Doctor. Psoriasis is a disease which has no permanent cure. I am very sorry to mention but till now, no permanent cure has been formulated, but definitely there are medications to control it. If oral medications do not suit you, you may opt for phototherapy in chambers available in your nearby set-ups. Based on the available details, this is my best advice for you. You should discuss with your doctor and share my opinion, I am sure he/she will agree to my opinion. Good Luck.

[|Human|] Transcribing operative note. Pre-op diagnosis: Right inflammatory joint disease including the radiocarpal, intercarpal and distal radioulnar joint in addition to left shoulder impingement. It sounds like the physician is using a lymphatic wrist tower ? Is this correct?
[|AI|] Hi there. It appears you have arthritis of the wrist and shoulder problem. The arthritis needs to be treated according to the cause. If it is Rheumatoid, it needs to be treated with Methotrexate and Sulfasalazine. If it is Gout, it needs Allopurinol. If it is Osteoarthritis, steroids can benefit. The shoulder problem may require arthroscopic sub-acromial decompression to relieve you of the symptoms.

[|Human|] hello doctor!! i am 33 years of age, 105 lbs., 167cm in height. i ve suffered colds ever since i was young as 7 i think because whenever i got colds, i had swelling nose and it was continuous. then just 2 years ago i discovered that i have allergic rhinitis. fortunately after the medicine it subsided. he had my face x-rayed and he told me that i had mucous formation and need surgery. he had prescribed medicine such as zyrtec, rinoclenil and some vitamin c for 3 consecutive months. i had this body pain, headache, itchy nose and non-stop sneezing. another doctor gave me roxonin, xyzal and allergodil nasal spray. it was effective. when my allergy attacks, i just used these medicine, roxonin, allergodil and clarinase. is it safe or do i have to see the doctor again for another prescription? thank you.
[|AI|] HIT hank for asking to ChatDoctorI really appreciate your concern if this is allergic condition then in my opinion the underlying cause need to be found out for the allergies then and then this need to be treated and this would give best results if treated the underlying cause, otherwise taking symptomatic medicine does not solve your problem, although taking symptomatic medicine is not bad, even if you are taking the Chat Doctor.

[|Human|] Hello! Recently I have been more forgetful and it s increasing. I forget what I was going to do or do something else instead. for example I went to the washroom to wash my face but came out brushing my teeth at middle of the day. sometimes I lose track of what I was doing. Mix up words too. for example I probably wanted to say the food is in the fridge but end up saying in the mircowave. should I be concerned?
[|AI|] Hi, First, you should do some investigations, such as measuring blood pressure, lipid profile in the blood. If they were normal you need to take a vitamin B complex, Chaotic acid, benfotiamine and folic acid. Moreover, you should change your lifestyle, for example, you should stop smoking, Chat Doctor. If you do not respond to these measurements, you should ask a neurologist for further direct investigations. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
