Hi I m a 18 year old female and for the past couple months i have been experiencing chest pains on the right side of my heart. At first the pain will be sharp and it ll hurt to take a deep breath and feel like someone is squeezing my heart which will last a few seconds. Then there will be a dull aching pain afterwards that drags out. I m not an athlete but my health and diet is very well and I rarely get stressed out plus I m pretty good at relieving stress. I m not sure what is wrong with my heart please help. | If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. | Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. Chest pain on breathing can be due to pleurisy (inflammation of pleura). The common causes for pleurisy are1. Pneumonia2. Pleural effusion.3. Tuberculosis get done chest x-ray to rule out all these. If chest x-ray is normal, then get done ECG to rule out cardiac cause. If both are normal then you must be having muscle pull and muscular pain. So try to follow these steps for better symptomatic relief.1. Avoid heavy weight lifting.2. Avoid strenuous exercise.3. Avoid movements causing pain.4. Take good painkiller and muscle relaxant.5. Apply warm water pad on affected site. |

Ive been suffering from slight pain on my right groin and left groin almost everyday & left face of my vagina. My right groin is slight swelling its been 7 months already but i only suffer Pain for a month now. Last week i had pelvic exam & ultrasound. Doctor said i had small stone on my kidney. Why the pain is almost everyday. | If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. | Hello, Thanks for posting in Chat Doctor. Yes. Kidney stones are one of the commonest reasons for pain abdomen. But usually if they are very small like less than 4 mm or so they won't cause any obstruction anywhere and hence no chance of causing any pain. What was the size of the stone found on scan? And also what was the site. Usually the pain and severity depends on above 2 factors. Site and size of the stone. The reason for pain is as kidney stones are foreign objects for body, and sometimes it causes obstruction in urine outflow, the ureters go in spasmodic contractions to expel the stone. This is the reason for pain most commonly. Consult a urologist with your report or get back with me with the detailed report and I will guide you further. Awaiting your response. Thank you |
my father in law has had his thyroid removed, has diabetes, has a stint in his heart a bad back and weighs about 300lbs. He had to be taken to the er with shortness of breath, hallucinations, he has had a lot of confusion for awhile but it was much worse. he already took 40 a day lasix. Hehad fluid around lungs and heart low o2 levels. They upped his lasix to 80 put o2 on him. They had to keep the o2 at 15 otherwise his levels wouldnt stay up. Lung infection also discoved. Heart only working at 40% then co2 up to 90and unresponsive. Now on a ventilator co2 down to normal. what is likelyhood of brain damage? Any other input apprectiated. Family is trying to make some hard decisions. | If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. | Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Honestly speaking, chances of survival are very less. Rising carbon dioxide level is suggestive of respiratory failure. Accumulation of fluid in the body is suggestive of heart failure. Confusion, unconsciousness, hallucinations etc. will cause brain damage. And this kind of brain damage is permanent. So his all major organs are failing. This is not good sign. If you remove ventilator, I don't think he will survive. So family has to take decision about taking off ventilator. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your father-in-law. Thanks. |

You can take some medicines like camphene for the growth of your follicles and track your follicles' growth by repeated ultrasound and when your follicles is more than 17 to 18 mm, take injection for rupturing the follicles. GUI will be done the next day. Take progesterone for next 2 weeks. Do a urine pregnancy test at home. You can try like that for 3 to 6 months. If it doesn't work then you can go for IVF. Discuss with your doctor regarding this. Hope I have answered your question. Regards |
Hi, I have a skin discoloration/pigmentation on the inner corner of the eyes. When people look at it, they thought that it was the mark that i got it from wearing glasses, but i never wear glasses before (i have very good eye sights). I never had it when i was a kid, but when i was about 15 years old, the discoloration then slowly becomes more and more visible. I m 20 right now so it s very visible. I just want to know what is the cause of it and how can i treat it? | If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. | Hello friend...you are suffering from periorbital Melanesia.it is multifactorial, and the exact cause still remains a mystery.However, on avoidance of stress, a good sleep of about 6-8 hours at night and taking plenty of fluids will provide some relief.it can be treated by topical vitamin K and retinoid preparations used as a combination therapy.you may need laser treatment if it is resistant to topical treatment alone.kindly meet a good dermatologist for the treatment.wishing you good health. |

Now according to you, she is very weak, but you didn't mention the type of wound or about the disease, which caused this wound so that pus is coming out i.e. she is having septicemia that is responsible for fever and loss of appetite.

Hi, how s it going. I m 32 work out 3 times a week with heavy weights and other cardio excersizes, I eat healthy most of the time. But I was wondering if I have low testosterone.. I don t feel very aggressive or angry. any signs I should look for that would indicate low testosterone levels??... | If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. | HelloThanks for query. You have been doing regular work-outs and has a doubt of your Testosterone levels being low due to hypogonadism resulting out of heavy exercise. At the out set I would state that to get angry very quickly is not a sign criterion for having normal Testosterone levels. On the contrary I would say that all hormonal levels are always normal in a individual who exercise routinely. You may get your blood test for Testosterone levels done. This will help you to allay your anxiety. Chat Doctor. |
Hi, my name is Fidel, 31 years old male. I feel heaviness and numbness on my left head and cheek. I thought that are from my teeth . I did a panoramic exam and nothing been shown. Can I know what are the reasons? could it be from the salivary gland or any other gland? it s necessary to do MRI? Please your response are highly appreciated | If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. | Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor forum, I would like you to know that pain in cheek and left side of the head may be from tooth infection, impacted wisdom tooth or even from salivary gland. In case salivary gland is the cause, swelling of the cheek will be present but in your case I assume it is not present. One of the causes can be cheek biting, sometimes a sudden cheek bite is also very painful and pain radiated to the same side of the head. Therefore, proper clinical examination is needed. I will advise you to see a dentist soon. MRI is not needed until your dentist advises. I hope I answered your query, i wish you good health, take care. |

Thanks for your query. Depression and anxiety may have both conscious and unconscious origins. Hence, you cannot always pinpoint a reason. It is encouraging to note that you have improved with medication. What I would suggest is to consult your psychiatrist to prescribe a long acting benzodiazepine like clonazepam that would tackle the problem of intermittent nocturnal awakening associated with nightmares. Also avoid consuming carbonated Chat Doctor. Hope you find my suggestions useful. Regards |
Hello doctor,My blood pressure is 140/90 since one year and I am using Telmikind 40 tablet in the morning. Today, I visited the cardiologist and he suggested 2D echo and ECG. The reports show mitral valve has AML prolapse and no MR. Kindly clarify this. Is something wrong? I am attaching the reports. | If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. | Hello. I have gone through your reports (attachment removed to protect patient identity). Your ECG is normal. In the echo, there is AML (anterior mitral leaflet) prolapse, which means there is slight backward bulging of the valve leaflet. This is mild and there is no leakage in the valve. The risk associated with this is of valve leakage called as mitral regurgitation and it is not there. In most of the individuals, it is benign and does not lead to any complications and some may develop leakages. In you, it less likely to develop leakage as it is not there at present. So, nothing to worry about it now, but get an echo once in three to five years just to keep a check over it. Hope this helps you and get back if you have any doubts. For more information consult a cardiologist online |

He gets frequent problem of short breath after 1-2 days of cold. some doctors say he is having bronchitis, some say it is asthmatic attack. for last 3 years he is suffering this problem. He is fine for few months and during weather change he again gets this problem. This time he got ill on 30.11.13 then he was admitted for a day. after giving a weeks medication he got fine then again after a week he got ill (fever + short breath) given levolin 0.63 three times a day, budecort for three days (twice daily) we continued with montair kid plus since 30.11.13 and still we are giving. A week back he got OK, but on 05.01.14 again he got cold. Though short breathe is not this time, but having problem of running nose and cough sound. My first question is how long we can give Levolin (Twice daily) without any side effect. In last three years he might have taken levolin very often. Next question - Does levolin helps in running / blocked nose and in congestion. My next question is at what age will he able to fight cold without medication / he will be free of short breathe. Third when he gets short breathe I get tensed, how much risk is there in such cases. Waiting eagerly for your reply, please. Regards | If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. | Leveling helps to relieve the bronchospasm and shortness of breath. It can be given whenever the child has breathing difficulty (bronchospasm), generally for not longer than 2 weeks ATA stretch. No it does not relieve run or blocked nose. These problems generally improve as the child grows older, but no definite age can be predicted. This is treatable condition and with proper treatment the problem can be well controlled. |

I recently had elevated liver results and so they tested for Hepitis and that was normal... EKG also adnormal and said something about doing a 24 hr holter monitor . This is the third time both test were abnormal and my regular doctor always stops after doing the same test. I m 32 5 3 215lbs. I have had normous health issues throughout life. I had Hasimotos and thyroid was removed but those test were normal. Just wondering what should I do to get past the routine of doing the same test and getting no answers. | If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. | Hello, First there are many causes of elevated liver enzymes. I suppose you were tested for one of the most common ones which are the viral hepatitis (Hepatitis B and hepatitis C). The fact that you had Hashimoto thyroiditis, which is an autoimmune disease (where your body attacks itself), is a risk factor for having concurrent Autoimmune Hepatitis. This can be tested by blood tests (ANA, AMA, ASIA, etc.), but may require a liver biopsy. Other causes considering: alcohol intake, iron overload, medication induced hepatitis, fatty liver (common in diabetics, overweight people). If no answer is obtained with lab work and ultrasound of the liver then I would recommend you going for the liver biopsy. |
I experience uppr right chest pain. I also have gallstones and have had ulcers in the past that have been treated. Would this pain be refered from my gallstones that i have. two years ago had stress test and blood test and heart is good. I notice this pain more near mt menstrual cycle. thanks | If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. | Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your situation and problem. Possibility of stress and tension related chest pain is more. I don't think your current chest pain is related to gallstones or ulcers. This kind of pain is also less likely to be of cardiac pain. Since your chest pain is associated with menstrual cycle, possibility of stress related pain is more. During menstrual bleeding, women are going through a lot of stress due to hormonal changes. So better to consult psychiatrist and get done counseling sessions. Try to identify stressor in your life and start working on its solution. You may need anxiolytic Chat Doctor. Don't worry, you will be alright. Hope I have solved your query. Wish you good health. Thanks. |

I wanted to know what could be the cause of this? | If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. | Hi there ~ Having veins on your upper arms hands and legs are common in people that are lighter skinned. It has nothing to do with whether you are vegetarian or eat meat. Please use a deodorant if you feel like the body odor is intolerable. I feel like this will take care of your problems. It is advisable to see a dermatologist if the condition does not improve. Take care and have a lovely day ! |

Hi i was wondering if you could associate these symptoms with a diagnosis.Ive been suffering from them for the past 4 months.While im trying to fall asleep i feel as though an adrenaline rush goes through my body and it feels like i stop breathing,heart palpitations,and even slow a slow heart beat at times.After this happens i cannot fall asleep for the next 2 to 4 hours.Its gotten to the point where im afraid to fall asleep and i cant find anything online that explains these symptoms. | If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. | Hello and welcome to Ask a Doctor service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice. Are these things preceded by any weird thoughts or panic in your mind, or stress.

I have severe right lower abdominal pain and it s feels like I have a horrible uti. I ve been on numorous antibiotics over the course of this happening 6 weeks ago. They did a ultra sound and said I had a cyst rupture a few weeks ago. I have another ultra sound n 2 weeks but the pain is just tolerable | If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. | Hi! Good evening. I am Chat Doctor answering your query. If I were your doctor, I would advise you for a urine routine/microscopic and culture sensitivity test before starting any antibiotic which could be changed later to the right one after the report of urine test was ready. With the proper antibiotic for 10-12 days the UTI should be relieved unless someone gets it repeatedly specially if sexually active. The persistent pain could also be due to the rupture of the cyst with spillage of fluid inside the pelvic cavity. At the same time one has to keep in mind appendix as an offending organ which could be missed and create problem. If no conclusion is reached for a persisting pain abdomen, then a diagnostic/therapeutic laparoscopy could be the solution. I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts. Thanks for choosing Chat Doctor to clear doubts on your health problems. I wish you an early recovery. Chat Doctor. |
my doctor changed my blood pressure meds from 2.5mg to 10mg 0f amlodipine besylate to lower my blood pressure which is usually 136/82 when the nurse checks it then when the doctor comes in she checks it and it jumps to 138/94 could she be miss reading it? | If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. | I read your question carefully, and I understand your concern. I don't think that the nurse is misreading the values, some minor differences are normal between one measurement and the other. Blood pressure is not a static value and can have many minor variations due to many factors. In your case the simple fact that the doctor came in and was measuring your pressure himself may have contributed to some extra stress which in turn affects blood pressure, it's a well known phenomena to have increase blood pressure in the presence of the doctor. But It's not only that there are many factors, so more than a question of an isolated measurement it's the average which should be taken into account (I'm speaking about minor changes of course not extreme values). I hope to have been of help. |
i had taken 5 days course of primolut n because i have delayed period may be due to i had taken i pill 72 on my 6th day of last period. My weight is 57 and height is 5.3 and age is 25 . I completed this course 2 days back , i had taken pregnancy test before the course of tablets, i m waiting for mh period, and last night i have unprotected sex, what are the chances of pregnancy due to last night intercourse | If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. | Hallow Dear, I-pill provides protection against pregnancy effectively when taken within 72 hours of the unprotected sexual intercourse. It does not prevent the pregnancy from any sex after the consumption of the pill. Primal N does not offer any contraceptive effect when taken only for 5 days for induction of with Chat Doctor. Pregnancy test before the course of tablets does not provide any relevant information; particularly when performed before missing a period. Since your last unprotected sexual intercourse is not protected by any contraceptive method, you should consider the possibility of pregnancy. If you have missed period, then to find out the pregnancy status:1. Perform pregnancy test on the overnight morning first urine sample about a week after the missed period; earlier the test may report false negative results. 2. Alternatively, you may opt for Beta Chat Doctor test on the blood 10 days after the last unprotected sex. Values more than 25 mid/ml are diagnostic of pregnancy while in non-pregnant state, the values remain under 5 mid/ml. I hope this will clarify your doubts. |

Rest of the treatment to be taken as per reports of FNAC |

I have these what feels like a cluster of lumps throughout the middle region of my abdomen that sits on both sides of abdomen, about 2-3 inches from the center and goes down to just above my belly button. Only about 3-4 of these several lumps hurt when pressed, otherwise they are not seen or felt. I have assumed most of it is fatty tissue, but worried the ones that hurt, and seem grounded (do not move when pushed in or pushed around) are tumors, or what is very unknown to many in medical fields, dercums disease. It has been like this for the past 12 days. I am white, 26, male, in good health otherwise, eat fairly well, exercise 7 times a week, generally about 2-2.5 hours. No family history of diseases, except type 2 diabetes on my fathers side. But all who has it got it after they turned 60. Should I be worried? I have read a few forums where people complain of this, and complain their doctors and er doctors are absolutely clueless. I am in a bit of a panic. | If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. | Hello.

Due to carelessness and being away from home , the disease has grown very dangerously.After researching thru internet i found that i have very high asthma.I use inhaler around 10 times daily and have also developed symptoms of eczema and hiatus hernia | If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. | Hello. Thank you for asking at Chat Doctor. I went through your history and would like to make suggestions to you as follows:1. I would like to know the inhaler you use. There are two types of inhalers - rescue type and controller type. I assume it a "rescue" type of inhaler like albuterol or levosalbutamol. If you are using it 10 times a day, it suggests your asthma control is poor. Were I treating you, I would suggest you regular montelukast and a "controller" type of inhaler like inhaled corticosteroids for at least 2-3 months depending upon response. You can use "rescue" type of inhaler on as-and-when-needed basis for breathlessness/asthma symptoms. 2. Should you have nose symptoms, I would add regular antihistamine like levocetirizine to above medications.3. I would like to know more about hiatus hernia and your symptoms. Do you have regurgitation of foods, heart burn, nausea, etc.? Have you had endoscopy to diagnose hiatus hernia? Etc. It is also important for you to remember that albuterol (commonly used asthma medication) can worsen some esophageal problems like gastroesophageal reflux.4. I would suggest you allergy testing which will help you identify the substances causing troubles to you and also to know how to avoid them. Avoidance of foods causing allergies and air-borne allergy-causing substances will help you both for asthma and eczema. Based on allergy testing results, an Allergist-Immunologist may prescribe you allergen specific immunotherapy which works on immune symptoms to improve allergy symptoms on long term basis.5. In general, I would suggest you to avoid exposure to dusts, smokes & air pollution as much as possible.6. Personally I would suggest you regular breathing exercises and a healthy diet rich in vitamins & minerals (adequate amounts of green leafy vegetables, fruits, sprouts, etc.) which will help you in a long run by improving your lung capacity and immunity respectively.7. I would suggest you to avoid stress by relaxation and meditation as stress can aggravate allergies. Hope above suggestions will be helpful to you. Should you have any further query, please feel free to ask at Chat Doctor. It will be my pleasure to help you with best of my knowledge and efforts. Wish you the best of the health. Thank you & Regards. |

Went to my doc, showed her two lumps under my left collar bone. She said they were not to worry about, swollen lymph nodes but to let her know if they for bigger. 6 weeks later I called her as they had almost doubled in size. I had also found more lumps. I went back, all of my infraclavicular lymph nodes are enlarged. She sent me to a surgeon, he says it is just a sebaceous cyst and nothing to worry about? My primary doc is sendin me for a second opinion and for a mammogram. I am not sure what to think, or who I should believe. | If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. | Hello, I can understand your concern. The swellings that do not hurt or cause other symptoms may be cysts and uninfected cysts do not hurt. They are left where they are without any treatment as they are not harmful to health. If they get infected in future and cause pain and discomfort, then surgical removal of those cysts can be decided as permanent solution. The primary doctor is just ruling out any chance of cancer by sending you for mammogram as breast cancer can sometimes cause painless swelling of supraclavicular lymph nodes. If the mammogram come negative, then he will agree with other doctors. So the steps you and the doctor have been following are correct and wait until appointment of the second doctor and mammogram. I hope this information helps. Thank you for choosing Chat Doctor. Take care. Best, |

What does it sound like? | If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. | Hello! Thank you for the query. Diarrhea and upper right pain can be caused by gallstones. The pain usually radiates to the back. Similar to gallstones symptoms can give chronic pancreatitis. Both conditions usually give nausea, low appetite. Symptoms can appear after a fatty food, spicy foods, alcohol. Diarrhea and abdominal pain can be also a symptom of gastrointestinal infection. Please note that every diarrhea which lasts longer than 48 hours needs to be checked with stool tests. As you are kidney transplanted patients, such symptoms can appear due to medicines you take regularly. I suggest you to visit your doctor, have blood work, abdominal ultrasound, urinalysis and stool tests done. Hope this will help. Regards. |

I can understand your situation and problems. In my opinion you should consult pulmonologist and get done bronchoscopy and BAD (Bronchi Alveolar Lavage) analysis with biopsy from the involved area. As possibility of malignant spread (lymphatic) is high. And this can also give same CT picture. This can also be seen in pneumonia. BAL and biopsy will diagnose both. So better to consult pulmonologist and discuss all these. |

Hello, my name s Michele. I was in the hospital for three days last week with what the doctors told me was a TIA. The left side of my face was numb and I was having issues with moving the left side of my mouth and my left eyelid was drooping. They performed an MRI and a CT scan and when I was being discharged they told me I had some issue with my cerebellar tonsils, though I don t remember what the doctor said. For years I have had a lot of problems with my balance, I ve had horrible headaches and dizziness along with fainting spells. Everything I have wrong focuses on my left side. I have had issues with numbness and tingling in my left hand and left foot along with pain down the arm and leg. I have chronic back and neck pain that never seems to go away. I don t know exactly what s going on but I was wondering if it could be something other than a chiari malformation? | If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. | Hello, All of your symptoms can occur in Chiara malformation. Rather this constellation of symptoms would strongly suggest such malformation. Along with the Chiara malformation of the brain there may be bony abnormality of the craniovertebral junction which can cause some symptoms like neck pain. Cerebellar tonsils may be herniated and causing pressure on structures of brain and spinal cord. MRI is the best and reliable investigation for Chiara. Good luck. |

Infection is indicated by presence of excessive pus cells in semen. You need proper clinical examination and further investigations. You need routine hologram, RBS,culture and sensitivity of semen, colour Doppler of scrotum. Proper antibiotics depend upon culture and sensitivity report. Motility is also low. Normally it should be at least 55 %. You have only 20 % motility. Sperm count is normal. Normally sperm count should be at least 20 millions/ml. Your sperm count is 30 million/ml, so count is normal. Motility is expected to improve with control of infection. If infertility persists then assisted fertilization techniques can be considered. It is normal that small amount of semen comes out during straining. Get well soon. Take Care Chat Doctor. |

sirI had been operated for renal stones and hydronephrosis in right kidney in 2004 and 2007 and the kidney functioning was only 15% for right one .the creatinine level were normal even before operation.Since then i had been taking reckeweg renal drops R27last week i measured my BP which was 200/150 which is sure due to renal disease i had to go to check up for other tests next week so i wanted to know that what medicines should i take till my tests are over and is there any cure in homeopathy or ayurved for chronic renal disease | If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. | Hello Patient, Chronic Renal Disease is not a very easy disease to cure in any system of medicine. It is better to be honest than to give unrealistic expectations. However, what Homeopathy can definitely do is improve renal functioning, and in turn normalize the blood pressure, provided dialysis has not been started yet. Once renal function starts improving, then depending on the rate of improvement, the chances of cure can be gauged. But yes, Homeopathy has seen cases of chronic renal disease being cured. Let me know if you require any other help or medication. All the best! |

After experiencing post menapausal bleeding, it was recommended that I have a hysteroscopy and uterine biopsy. However the doctor was unable to insert the scope past the cervix.

In postmenopausal women due to hormonal imbalance, uterus, cervix and vagina tend to show atrophy and Chat Doctor. So due to this reason, doctor was not able to pass scope.

Dear Dr.Sree Bhushan,I would like to enquire about the side effects of LASER on kidney stones removal. This is regarding my husband he got the LASER done when he was in 20s for kidney stones and now his sperm count,motility of the sperm and the sperm concentration is low and we have been trying to have a baby since 4 years, recently we came to know that his sperm count is low and the doctors are advising us to go for IFV.Do you think is that because of LASER his sperm count is reduced? Kindly clear our doubt. | If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. | Good Day, and thank you for being with Chat Doctor ! Laser treatment for kidney stones have not been associated with changes in sperm quality. I believe it is not associated.

I hope I have succeeded in providing the information you were looking for. Please feel free to write back to me for any further clarifications at: http://www.ChatDoctor .com/doctors/ Chat Doctor.

Its very painful and ive had the lump since not long after having a filling in that tooth. Cant get in dentist till 28th as its christmas. Any ideas how i can keep the swelling down and pain away intill then. Any idea what it could be xx | If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. | Hi. Thanks for the query. As per your complaint it seems like there is formation of dental abscess due to deep Infection in tooth leading to accumulation of pus below the root tips of the tooth causing swelling and pain. At times the pus perforates the bone and gets accumulated under the soft tissues leading to swollen lump and when the inflammation and infection increases there can be swelling over the face/ cheek in the area adjacent to the infected tooth. It should be confirmed by getting an x-ray of the tooth done under supervision of an Endodontist.... In case if it is an abscess and tooth is in a condition to be saved then Root Canal Treatment of tooth followed by antibiotics and painkillers will help. In case of deep decay extraction of tooth will help in complete resolution. As of now consult an Emergency room and get evaluated and a prescription of antibiotics like Augmenting and anti-inflammatory painkillers like Ibuprofen along with Serratiopeptidases will help in reducing pain and swelling. Do cool compresses over the swelling. Hope this helps. Regards. |

My 15 year old has had a fever off and on since Wednesday, various other symptoms at different times: mild sore throat, headache, nausea, lack of appetite. No ear pain. Saw doctor Friday, he prescribed amoxicillin (did not test for strep). She does not seem to be improving, and her fever was up to 104.6 earlier. It always seems to respond to ibuprofen. Any suggestions for what it could be and what else we can do? The high fever concerns me, am planning to call doctor in the morning. | If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. | Hello Your daughter is having high grade fever with sore throat, headache, nausea, loss of appetite, as all these symptoms are an indication of viral fever or flu. As amoxicillin is not providing relief. In such symptoms give her Tylenol (alternatively ibuprofen) whenever she develops fever, plenty of liquid, water, juice (without ice) and rest. Local antiseptic solution will provide relief in sore throat. Since after Wednesday only 4 days passed, so at least wait for next 4-5 days for complete relief. Still, if fever persist then consult another doctor and get his opinion. Hope this will be useful for you. |

Pexep (paroxetine) is an effective agent for all the three-OCD, Depression and premature ejaculation. If you are not getting any response with 25 mg/day dose, I would certainly consider increasing the dose further. If still there is no response, I would consider some alternative Chat Doctor. However, you will have to be patient about the response as these |
I was playing football and got hit. I flew in the air and landed straight on my hip, I felt pain immediately. It hurt tho rest of the day I coul hardly sit down, get up, walk, or lay on the left side of my hip. I thought maybe it was just bruised and I iced it. It felt better for a couple of days. But yesterday I twisted my hips while running and it popped and now it feels as bad or worse than before. Can you help please? | If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. | HI, Thanks for posting on Chat Doctor. After reading your symptoms, I would like to suggest you a certain investigation:MRI of the right Hip to diagnose any ligamenta injury/ fracture.

my wife is taking cyclacur to start to manage her period cycle. Since she swtiched from the white tablets to the brown tablets in the box, she seems to have started getting headaches in the morning after waking up ? is this being caused by cyclacur ? she is 42 years old | If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. | Hi, Yes, headaches are a common side effect of taking oral contraceptives pills like cyclic which usually improve over time. The white tablets contain hormone estradiol and the brown tablets contain a combination of estradiol and norgestrel (progestin). In case if headaches do not subside your doctor would prescribe a different type of pill with a different dose of estradiol and/or a different type of progestin. Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further. |
I have a lump on my back that feels like a large air pocket, it isn t swollen nor does it hurt, no crackling sound when touched, and is about the area of a tennis ball or smaller. the lump doesn t feel like it contains a fluid, just air like. i do have pain to the left of the lump or swollen area, but it feels like a tight muscle. any ideas? | If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. | Hi, Dear thanks for the query to Chat Doctor virtual clinic. I studied your query in full details updated from you. I understood your health concerns. Based on your query data, In my opinion, Dear You seem to suffer from Back Lipoma mostly as its non-tender and is common site for Big Lipoma. Sebaceous Cyst needs to be ruled out by USG study of the lump and by a Second Opinion from Surgeon. If the lump is on the heels as said in the heading, which exposes the confusion by oversight/or typing mistake. Still if it is in the back of heel, TendoAchilles Bursa needs to be ruled out, from or tho Surgeon. Treatment-Would vary depending on the cause of the lump on the back or on the back of the heels. Surgical excision if it troubles you is advisable. Else it is a benign tumor and need not worry unless its of cosmetic or pressure symptoms, for which I would suggest you. Hope this would resolve your query and worry and Anxiety accompanied by it. Welcome for any further query in this regard to ME. I would love to help you out.Awaiting any further query. Wish you fast recovery from this intriguing health problem. Have a Good Day. Chat Doctor. N.M.S. Genl-CVTS -Senior Surgical Consultant |
i have had a dull ache on the left side of my abdomen between the crease from my leg to my vagina. sometimes it goes down to my leg and sometimes up into my belly. sometimes its a pain but usually a constant dull ache. but sometimes it does completely go away. not for longer than a day though really. what is it? im worries its cancer | If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. | Hi ! Good evening. I am Chat Doctor answering your query. Even though it is good to be concerned about ones own health, one should not become frightened or obsessive on cancer for a dull ache in the abdomen. If I were your doctor, I would go for a clinical examination of your inguinal region both in lying down and in standing position to rule out a developing inguinal hernia which could give rise to such discomfort. If proved otherwise, I would then consider an ultrasound of abdomen to rule out any intrapelvic organ pathology giving rise to such discomfort. Further management would depend on the result of clinical assessment and related investigations. Till then, you could go for an anti-spasmodic Chat Doctor. I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts. Thanks for choosing Chat Doctor to clear doubts on your health problems. I wish you an early recovery. Chat Doctor. |
I have always had problems with being anemic. Just this past week my sister took my niece to be tested about her blood cells being abnormal. It is not Sickle Cell but they tested her for thalessemia.

Hi Dr Grief,i am from Philippines and i got my Tb skin test check two days ago and its showed that its positive, what is that mean?i dont have any symtoms of having Tb..i have a medical exam in philippines before i came here in usa and everything is good..i also have an chest xray 3 years ago.and some vaccine | If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. | Hey dear as you are not having any symptoms you need not worry about. The positive skin TB test does not always mean a disease. The positive TB test indicates that you might have had infection with TB bacilli which does not mean you have suffered the disease from it. Having TB infection & having TB disease are two different entities.Furthermore, occasionally few people who have been vaccinated with BCG vaccination might show positive re-activity to the test. The results of the positive TT test should always be correlated with the symptoms. (persistent non-responsive cough with expectoration more than 3 weeks duration, weight loss, fever, difficulty in breathing Etc) So considering your case you need not worry about. |
Hi i am 37 and suffer from bad breath, i brush my teeth an within half an hour get a metal kind of taste then the smellyness comes back, i am also on thyroid tabs, 100 a day. Its really embarassing an really kicks my confidence to do any thing or socialize.. (help) | If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. | Hello! Read your query. I recommend you to take a full mouth professional scaling with the dentist. Use warm salt water gargle thrice daily. Gargle after every meal. Make sure you do not have any acid reflux disease(acid reflux must be treated primarily if you suffer from this). Thyroxine can cause halitosis rarely but in most cases, it is secondary to bad oral hygiene. Keep your blood sugar level under good control. Regards. |
I had pain on the inside of my heel which my podiatrist called bursitis. He gove me a shot of cortisone which made it worse because now I can barely walk I have so much pain all way up the back of my leg to my knee. I am 85 years old and don t know what to do about this pain. I have had 7 treatments with laser but am discouraged at this point. Can you give me some indication of what is causing this? | If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. | Hi You have taken a cortisone injection for bursitis in your heel and now the pain has increased and gone up to calf. In my opinion you had calcaneal bursitis where the tend Achilles (Calf muscle tendon) is attached. It has probably ruptured and is causing your symptoms. I suggest you take painkillers, Crêpe bandage on the leg and wait for some time so that acute swelling subsides. You will have difficulty in walking, but pain will go away slowly. Other option is operative repair. |

Hello Sir, I m a 19 yr old male. I have a question. I wish you could help me out please. From the last 1.5 months I had itching and redness on the glans and in the below end of glans. I m uncircumcised . And I masturbate almost twice everyday. My doctor gave me prulifoxacin 600mg for 5 days after which my redness and itching went away. I reckon it was Urinary Tract Infection. Later when the meds finished i masturbated, although the itch and redness were gone, the itch is sligthtly present like 5% of the whole. And Please note it only happens after masturbation rest of the time , its fine and it all disappears while the itch after masturbation is only for like 15 mins with a very very slight sensation of prick inside the penis and on the left side of the glans and some engorged red veins just for sometimes after masturbation and then its gone. I ve never had sexual relations yet but yes i admit i have alot alot alot of sexual thoughts across the day and that i stay erect numerous times in a day. The doc was unwilling to provide me any meds cuz i ve met two docs in the past and they said that i ve got mental stress and need psychiatrist. It s true a bit that i ve never been to school since 7th grade which i left challenging the principal and since then i ve completed and excelled in everything from school students and infact have defeated many teachers as well in knowledge despite of learning on my own at home. I ve immense and very hyper (above normal) enthusiasm in biology and especially in Microbiology. It may have been my half knowledge thats causing stress as i ve been stayin very afraid towards diseases but its certainly not OCD and due to recent outbreak of ebola even though there hasnt been a single case of it In India but im staying too precautious . I excercise everyday with dumbells and pushups . I listen music and don t like eating sweet much especially in the morning or as meal. Hence i cut tea from my daily schedule and only drink milk without sugar . I only like spicy hot, bitter and sour but sweet at its least. Recently i ve had abdominal pain below the left side of the ribcage (not the rear side) for six months which had gone for months but came back since yesterday and indigestion for 1.5 months which both the doctor say that s because of my overthinking. And yes last month i did a CBC in which everything was normal except. haemoglobin which was 0.5% less than normal but the docs said its not even a 1% matter of concern and infact i can donate blood with those levels and also my ultrasound i.e sonography (abdomen) reports were completely normal. I m just scared although i know its nothing serious since i never have had sex. I just wish to know whats the problem with my glans (balans) and why the itch . Does UTI take time to heal after 10 days of finishing medicines? Or is it due to excessive masturbation (although i paused for 2 days but of no avail) and its weird but i ve been masturbating since the age of 5 (although no ejaculations till puberty) but it hasnt every happened before or is it due to overthinking as the docs said? I thank u very very much sir | If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. | HelloThanks for query Based on the facts that you have posted you seem to be intelligent guy but unfortunately wasting your knowledge and time which are of the least importance in day to day life. The itching and redness over glans that you get after masturbation is mostly due to infection of glans penis due to contamination (Atlantis). You need to take broad spectrum antibiotic like Definite along with anti-inflammatory Chat Doctor. Along with topical antibiotic ointment like Newsprint twice daily. Most of your problems are due to anxiety. It is better you consult qualified Psychiatrist for counselling. Reduce frequency of masturbation by keeping yourself busy in activities like sports, reading, social work etc. so that you will not get free time to masturbate. |

Can lipitor harm sperm rate? We where able to get pregnant befor these meds that did result in a miscarriage but nothing in a year? Also if you get pregnant and miscarry can this be either parents to blame or just the mother as the egg was fertilized? Thx | If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. | Hi welcome to Chat Doctor. I have gone through your question. Lipitor is cholesterol lowering agent, it does not harm sperm count. If you had pregnancy before and had miscarriage then one investigation I would suggest is histosalpingography HSG to rule out tubal blockage. As blockage is common after miscarriage. For miscarriage rather than to blame anyone, is better to find the reason. At first miscarriage no need to worry but if it happens 2/3 time then one has to rule chromosomal abnormalities, Torch inf (toxoplasmosis, rubella, cytomegalovirus, herpes). Hope I answers your question. Would be happy to help you further. Take care. |
45 year old healthy male with low test, my doctor put me on testim gel for 2.5 years and didn t check my psa levels for 2 years. when he did check it went from 0.34 to 4.1 . He took me off testim and had me tested for 4 consecutive months where my numbers went down from 4.1 to 2.7 to 2.1 to 1.8 to 1.6 where it has stayed. after doing some research I asked him to put me on clomid since he took me off testim cold turkey and I am now suffering all sorts of withdrawal symtoms. I guess my question is do you believe clomid can raise my psa or cause prostate cancer. thank you | If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. | Hi greetings. What was the reason for low testosterone ? Do you have any other medical problems ? Any issues with testicles or hormones.? I presume that there must have been a reason for low testosterone and hence you were prescribed. NOW, clomifene can increase a pituitary hormone called LH which indirectly can stimulate testis to produce more testosterone if your LH was low previously. There should have been a low response from your pituitary gland and clonidine would have stimulated it. This possibility can be confirmed by testing your testosterone. Hope you are convinced. Regards |

Hi, I am a medical student. I was working on anesthetizing a sebaceous cyst, and the lidocaine injected into the cyst squirted out of the cyst back thru the injection site and splashed a few drops on my face and lip (my mouth was closed).

Also, return to fertility is not that instantly even if a woman stops taking demo shot.2) You need to wait for at least 2 weeks after unprotected sex to get the urine pregnancy test to show the results. 3) I will suggest you to take emergency contraceptive pill like I pill or Plan B within 24 to 72 hours of unprotected sex act.

If taken in pregnant condition, it can have virilizing effect on the female fetus. I hope this answer helps you. Thanks. |

DOES PRETERAX CAUSES FOR INFERTILITY FOR A WOMEN I AM A HYPERTENSIVE PATIENT AND BEFORE ECTOPIC PREGNANCY 2001 THEY REMOVE MY RT. OVARY AND THE REMAINING ONE IS BLOCKED I DONE 2TIMES IVF BUT SAD SAID NOT SUCCESSFUL ALL FAILED IS THERE ANYN CHANGE FOR ME TO BECOME PREGNANT 1AM NOW 52 YEARS AND NO BABY | If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. | Hello, thanks for your query. Preterax doesn't cause infertility. There are few reasons why you are not able to conceive.1. Age is the first and foremost. Unfortunately, the number of eggs in the ovaries are constant and keeps getting depleted from the time of monarch. At 52 years of age, the number of remaining eggs in the ovary is very, very less that even with IVF it is difficult to harvest a good number. Age also compromises the quality of eggs which is very important for the success of IVF.2. Blocked fallopian tube makes it almost impossible for pregnancy to happen in natural way. Its unfortunate that one of your tube is blocked, and the other has been removed.3. In such a scenario, your doctor might have offered embryo donation as an option which you may like to consider if you wish.4. You must also be aware of the possible effects of pregnancy on your health and take caution if pregnancy happens. Hope this helps. Take care. |

Is there is any permanent treatment or solution at you. | If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. | Hi Fir oz, The details about the initial operation done on 1982 is not mentioned. The type of surgeries that can be performed depends upon the severity and the condition of esophagus. Now, if you consider economy versus balloon dilation, economy has better outcomes.

I am a 77 yr old female and in fairly good health. Am overweight and suffer from Rheumatoid arthritis as well as osteo arthritis. In the last several years I have become more and more out of breath with the least little effort or exertion. My heart has been checked out thoroughly and there is no problem there. What could be other causes and what kind of doctor should I see? | If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. | Hi, thank you for providing the brief history of you. A detailed assessment of the lungs, respiratory muscles and musculoskeletal assessment is advised. As you have both RA and OA, you need to undergo physical therapy, as they will help you perform exercises to strengthen the muscles involved. Also, as you said you get breathless, means your cardio respiratory endurance is slow and needs to get boost up. For RA and OA, medical works only symptomatic, and needs physical therapy along with it for optimum results. You can find research articles supporting the optimum functional abilities by implementation of physical therapy. Also, the physical therapist will help you to understand how the process will work and how your overall health will improve along with weight loss too. In my clinical practice I see many OA and RA, but the end result we get is jogging without any breathlessness or pains and aches. RegardsJay In Chat Doctor. |
