I am 45 years old and had a pregnancy 21 years after a tubal ligation that ended in miscarriage in Dec. 2009, an ectopic 6 months after that which my doctor advised to have my left ovary (due to cysts ) and both tubes removed in May 2010. I now have not had a period since Jan. 10th...have had mild pregnancy symptoms and my lower abdomen is hard. Home preganacy tests and qualitative ChatDoctor tests came back negative. My hormone and thyroid levels have been checked and are normal, as were the luteal phase so he says I m not in perimenopause. I m very concerned that I could have an ectopic, but am wondering the chances of that happening. | Hi, In the current scenario, I would advise you to go for a trans-vaginal sonogram to exclude any local causes for the amenorrhea. If you are not pregnant, and as your hormonal profile is normal, then the cause for the delayed period could be inadequate ovarian function as you have only one ovary left and owing to your age, the ovarian reserve of your other ovary is also likely to be less. Please maintain a healthy weight and a healthy diet and do some regular exercise. Good luck. |
I have a sore on the inside of my cheek. I do have oral herpes but ive never had a cold sore on my inner cheek. it hurts like one, but im not sure if it is a cold sore or a canker sore? also, it is directly in a spot where my teetChatDoctore together so i am wondering if i may have bit myself, but it hurts quite badly and has been there for a few days now. help! | Hi. Thanks for the query. As per your complaint and explanation of symptoms it does not seem to be a cold sore and can either be a CANKER SORE or a TRAUMATIC ULCER caused by cheek bite. It is a painful condition, and you can take OTC anti-inflammatory painkiller like Ibuprofen. You can apply a numbing gel like Ora gel over the sore for relief from pain and discomfort especially during meals. You can also apply a steroid based oral paste like Analog in Or abase over the ulcer to reduce inflammation. Warm saline gargles will help. In case if the ulcer does not heal or start resolving in a week or so you should consult your treating physician and get evaluated for the cause of the ulcer and get checked for herpetic cold sores and in case of cold sore antiviral oral and topical treatment like Acyclovir has to be taken. Hope this helps. Regards. Chat Doctor. . |
A few days ago I noticed a small red bump on the top of my left foot that itched a little. It grew in size and a few days later I had a few more bumps on my left foot and on my fingers. Also a few on my right calf. The ones that I scratched weep a clear fluid when I rub them with an alcohol wipe. Those I don t scratch are a hard looking people that only itch if I rub them. I recently started using Cortizone Cream.Is this poison ivy or what? | Hello, Thank you for your contact to Chat Doctor. I understand your health concern, if I am your doctor I suggest you that hard bump without fluids are not related to ivy poison and those coming out with clear fluid is related to poison ivy. For hard bump cortisone is not right cream. You should consult doctor and take appropriate treatment for it. Because visual examinations will only help in proper treatment. I will be happy to answer all your future concern. Thank you, ChatDoctorInfectious disease specialist. Wish you the best health at Chat Doctor. |
my 9 year old daughter had her tonsils out 15 days ago & has had bleeding 3 times over the last 2 days, up to 3/4 of a cup of blood in total. We saw her dr. today, we trust him totally and know him personally, but he seemed perplexed as to why she was having bleeding at this point. we stopped the bleeding everytime within 5-6 minutes with ice water gurggling. She is otherwise healthy. Her scabs appear to be gone, he said. Im worried about a small vascular tear, or a small vessel bleeding....just not sure. any suggestions? | Hi... bleeding from the surgical site after so many days and that too after scab formation is not to be ignored lightly. The possibilities are that she might be having a bleeding disorder or a vascular tear. Your surgeon is right. If I were your treating doctor I suggest that you go ahead with workup for bleeding disorder and also and MR angiogram which would delineate if there is a culprit bleeding blood vessel. Regards - |

Also get an opinion from physician to rule out the heart and lung causes for breathlessness.Don't worry with proper physical examination and necessary investigations cause can be found. And appropriate treatment will give relief. Nothing to worry. Take healthy nutritional diet. Best regards... |

However, if you realize it the next day, you may take one additional pill on that day. In all missing of 3 pills in one cycle are permissible. Yes, if you take missed pill and today's pill it is advisable. However, to avoid gastritis and nausea due to pills, take them at 12 hours interval. I hope this helps you. |

But alcohol can induce liver cirrhosis like irreversible condition. So I suggest you stop alcohol gradually. The montage LC on long term affection can cause chest tightness, gastritis and many other side effects. So stop it and find cause for allergic reaction.

I have a burning/stinging feeling on my tongue and roof of my mouth. Have had it before but my tongue had a white film on it and was swollen a bit. I was given a mouth rinse that they normally give to cancer patients. It went away after about a week. I dont have the white film or swollen tongue but do have the burning/stinging sensation.. Would like to get rid of the problem, not mask it by getting the mouth rinse again. Can you help me? Thank you...... | Hello, Thank you for consulting with Chat Doctor. Actually there are many causes of burning sensation in tongue-It can be possible that you are having some habit of tobacco chewing or smoking because of which there are pre-malignant changes present and these are causing this burning sensation.-or it can be possible that you are having some candida infection thrush which is causing this infection.in first case you should start with some antioxidants like lycopene.in another condition you have to start with antifungal medication.

I think its the sublingual gland. and theres also swelling along the neck underneath my jaw and all on the left side. do you know what could be the cause | Hello, Thanks for consulting Chat Doctor, Read your query, as you have swelling under tongue this can be due to swelling of submandibular or sublingual salivary gland this swelling can be due to inflammation or obstruction of salivary gland don't worry I will suggest you to consult oral surgeon and go for examination of gland and biography investigations if needed to rule out the cause of swelling.

I have a dog who had 7 puppies inside our home. We put them in the laundry room about the size of a restroom. After the puppies got 2-3 months old they were pooping and peeing at 1st on puppy pads but as they grew there was so much excrement in there it made my eyes burn and took my breath but while in there I kept the door shut and the longer i stayed in there the more difficult simple tasks became and I had an episode where I stayed in there at the end of a long day of going back and forth I stayed shut in there for 3 hours because i became confused and too tired to move. Can that cause confusion and hallucinations and after 911 came and ran oxygen for a while I cleared up and I want to know can being shut up in there with no fresh or moving air cause that? Can it cause further damage? | Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor. Thanks for your query. Unless you have been in a completely closed room, totally shut off from any air supply for a few hours together, it sounds improbable that the incident of staying in that room could have caused you hallucinations and confusion. Moreover, it again sounds improbable that spending some time in that room would have caused you to become immobile for 3 hours, to not be able to get out of that room. There are two things which are concerning to me. Firstly, your hallucinations, confusion, etc. which needs further evaluation. Secondly, such a scenario of harboring such unhygienic conditions inside your house and your behavior of shutting yourself inside that room for hours also seems concerning to me. Please see a psychiatrist for a detailed evaluation and psychological assessment. Wish you all the best. |
hi,i have been having discharge,light green gone for two separate tests and they said gonorrhea and stapylloccous respectively they both administered antibiotics treatment but the discharge/infectionis still there.what do i next?worst of all.i am pregnant now | Hello dear, I understand your concern. In my opinion the presence of greenish or yellow vaginal discharge suggests vaginal infections. As per your history the vaginal discharge is persistent even after the course of antibiotics. I suggest you to go for culture and sensitivity of the discharge if not done before as it helps in accurate diagnosis and treatment of vaginal discharge. And also the test helps us to know if the infection is cleared or not. Mostly the said infections will respond to appropriate antibiotics and there are no resistant gonorrheal strains present for available medicines. So relax. Take adequate fluids up to 3 liters per day to prevent deny Chat Doctor. Hope this helps. Best regards.... |
My husband and i have been trying to concieve for almost 2 years now. The last time I got pregnant and miscarried (2nd time) was in November. We went to see a fertility specialist and he asked about medications my husband takes. He thinks his amlodipine is the problem and recommended my husband go on a non-calcium channel beta blocker. Is there such a thing as a non-calcium channel beta blocker? | Hi there, Beta blockers are available for hypertension which can be used, they are different from calcium channel blocker group, but they too have side effects and discuss them completely with the physician before using them. Since you have been trying to conceive for 2 years now, you need to get completely evaluated, for the same. Get blood tests for hormonal levels, ultrasound to check womb and ovaries and dye test to check for tubes. Your partners' semen analysis is also essential. If he is having further issues you could consult a Chat Doctor. Take folic acid while trying to conceive. Hope this helps. Regards. |
Hi doc, one of my friend age is 28 years old, 165cm height, 85 kg weight, he is having black jaundice , so is this curable in Delhi? if yes in which hospital? ,,,and how much time it takes? actually he has visited more docs, but still he is having this ,,,actually he is staying out side India,,,but after getting info he wants to come to India...Delhi...so plz give me some more info...tanx | Hi, How are you? I am sure you mean Hepatitis C (Kali-Peelia) when you say black jaundice? A set of investigations need to be done before we can advise regarding the best treatment for him. A CV RNA PCR and genotypic of the virus is a must as different genotypes require different treatment, and they respond differently to treatment as well. Most gastroenterologists would be specialized in treating Hepatitis C and most hospitals in Delhi also will be equipped to treat it. People do travel to Ludhiana also for treatment as Punjab has a high incidence of Hepatitis C and lots of doctors are specialized in treating it. Hope this helped, and please do not hesitate to contact me for any further details required - rxsuresh@gmail.com |

Hi I have a pea size lump under the left side of my tongue just on the floor of my mouth ,its not visible but I can feel it .if I roll my tongue it feels bigger but then it feels as if its popped if I press on it with my tongue .totaly painless .thankyou | Hello, A muscle is a common condition experienced in the mouth. This can be due to trauma and pooling of liquid causing a blister like appearance often due to damage to a salivary duct. If persistent with noticeable swelling, you may need to see an oral surgeon for removal. Other types of growths are possible. Please make sure to monitor your condition and describe your symptoms to your dentist at your routine dental visit. Try warm salt water rinses, avoid all irritants and do not attempt to pop the area. Your description does not sound like you need urgent attention at this time. Thank you for your inquiry. I hope the area will continue to improve and resolve on its own. |
I have a small lump in my right armpit that is tender/sore and mid back pain on my right side. This has been on going for 4 to 6 weeks...was told possible bactierial infection(possibly cat scratch fever) and I was given a z-pack last week and the lump is still there. What could this be? Thank you! | Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor. The small lump in your armpit could be a lymph node swelling due to infection you had. If the swelling is not tender and not increasing in size, and mobile, there is no need for concern. It will reduce within few weeks. But if it is getting painful, increasing in size and becomes hard to touch and immobile, you need to get an FNAC done to rule out any cellular changes in the lymph node. Thanks. |

Hi--my son has ADHD and needs treated. He is 13 years old and we have avoided any medication due to his VSD he has had since birth. He has a small hole that has never closed on its own and Dr. sees him every 2 years to do Echocardiograms and has never seen the need to close the hole. Our pediatrician is wanting to place my son on Vyvanse but im worried as the drug claims you should not take if you have cardiac structual problems as sudden death can result. can you please advise..thanks | Hello, As you said your son has VSD and your doctor is planning to start Vyvanse (Lisdexamfetamine) for ADHD. If your son is not on any cardiac medications, doesn't get breathless while playing, not having recurrent episodes of chest congestion and pneumonia then probably his VSD is small. Small BSDs with little shunt are often asymptomatic. Moderate to large BSDs result in pulmonary over circulation and heart failure. Approximately one third of all BSDs close spontaneously. Now regarding Vyvanse (Lisdexamfetamine), adverse effects of Lisdexamfetamine related to cardiovascular system are abnormal heart rhythm, high blood pressure, etc. As per your information supposing your son has small VSD which is not causing any pulmonary hypertension and heart failure, taking Vyvanse (Lisdexamfetamine) for ADHD would be safe, and you may trust your doctors' judgement. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. |

I am 66 with good dental health. I have had a small white lump on the inside of my gum, behind lower front tooth. It doesn t hurt and has been there at least 2 years. My dentist said it was a bony growth and not to worry about it; but it s bothersome because my tongue constantly touches it. Any suggestion? | Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query. The lump on the gums can be an exocytosis or Tori or Osceola. These are all inflammatory hyperplasia and are benign in nature. Nothing to be panic, these will not trouble you and does not require any treatment. Since you are telling you have problem with it and the lumps are interfering with your tongue movements, You can get it surgically excised or get an osteotomy done under local anesthesia. But this can reoccur. I hope my answer will help you, take care. |

hi, my friends newborn baby has been bleeding from her mouth since she was 2 days old and doctors can t find the problem. She is no longer on breast milk but makes no difference as she is still getting clots in her mouth. She istwo weeks old at the moment and 9pounds | Hello, I can understand your concern. It seems that the child is suffering from a bleeding disorder. Any tooth or gum related disorder can not cause this much amount of bleeding and blood clots in the mouth. If you have not done so yet, I would recommend blood tests of the child that includes complete blood count, bleeding time, clotting time and detection of deficiency of factors that cause hemophilia. After the test results, diagnosis can be made and treatment can be advised. Pediatrician or periodontist can also be consulted with the reports. I hope this information helps you. Thank you for choosing Chat Doctor. I wish the child feels better soon. Best, |
Hi, i am 32 yrs old. Had gone under surgery for endometriosis on 18th Aug 2014. Had bleeding for few days. My gyneac said i will have to take lupride injection after 8 days of my surgery i.e on 25th Aug. I took the injection and the doc said i can have a normal pregnancy. Just 2 days back i visited my gyneac as i had my periods and she told me i will have to take two more dosage of lupride each month to reduce my bleeding. I don t understand why sucChatDoctorplication even after removal of endometriosis. Please help as i and my husband are desperately TTc. How long will it take me to conceive and will it be normal pregnancy. | Hello, and I hope I can help you today. Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory disease of the pelvis that cannot be removed completely by surgery. The reason is that endometriosis implants can be microscopic, which is why ultimately most women are treated with hormones to suppress their menstrual cycle for 3 to 6 months after endometriosis surgery. This helps to prevent recurrence of cysts and scarring within your pelvis which may increase your chance of conceiving. However, while you are on the Leuprolide (LU pron) injection, you will not menstruate regularly and is unlikely that you will become pregnant. Your greatest chance of pregnancy is in the first six months after stopping the medication. Because you only 32 years old, I would recommend doing a full six months of Lu pron injections before trying to conceive again. So again to clarify, you do not need Lu pron because you had any complications from your surgery, rather the issue is that Lu pron reduces your risk of recurrence of endometriosis after surgery, which will help to maximize your chance of conceiving later. So there is no reason why you and your husband cannot have unprotected intercourse while you on the Lu pron treatment, however the goal of the treatment is to reduce the inflammation your pelvis after the surgery to help you heal and also to reset your hormones so when you go off the Lu pron you will be in the best shape to conceive. I hope that I was able to adequately answer your question today, and that I helped clarify the role Lu pron has in the treatment of endometriosis. I wish you and your husband the best of luck in conceiving, |
Sir, whats the cost for kidney transplantation whats the solution for fistulla failure is their any other option if fistulla often fails | Hi Welcome to Chat Doctor forum A-V fistula surgery often fails, most commonly due to thin veins. There is a new procedure, where a venous graft is used to create A-V fistula. So that's one option, you can talk to the surgeon regarding this. Transplant is a good option, depends on the age and condition of patient, location/city/state where it is done. In India, if the donor is a family member (blood type and tissue has to be matched for THT), it's about 3-4 lack. Take care Further queries- Chat Doctor. rathore@yahoo.co.in |

Hii.. I have pcod. I m trying to conceive. I m not having my periods since 2 months. Taken pregnancy test but it was negative. So I have taken deviry 10 mg tablet. Its 15th day after I have completed course. I dont have my periods. Pregnancy test was also negative. What to do?? Should I wait for one more pregnancy test.. or what to do?? | Hello, Thanks for choosing Chat Doctor for your query. I understand your concern. As you mentioned being POD, it is common to have irregular periods. Get your urine pregnancy test again. If it is negative then you definitely need some tablets to get your period. Generally Devilry 10 mg is taken for 10 days. So it is important how many days you have taken the tablets. It is highly recommended that never to take tablet Devilry for getting menses when you are trying for pregnancy rather take some natural progesterone like Cap Austen SR 300 at bedtime for 10 days. In case when my patients don't get period with Devilry for 10 days then I generally advise them to take Tab Overall G for 21 days. You can wait one more week to get menses and if not then start tablet. As you are trying for pregnancy get your check-up done with Gynecologist. You might not be ovulating or your estrogen levels(one blood test) need to be done. I hope this helps. Feel free to contact again if any query. Chat Doctor. |

First things to ask do you have any kind of the following issues - Backache, Diabetes, High blood pressure, Varicose veins. If you have any of this then this sharp pain should be related to a nerve pathology. Having a proper assessment by an orthopedist or a physical therapist should help in getting a diagnosis. Sometimes due to very minimal nerve entrapment, there might be disruption of the nerve conduction which may lead to other symptoms which are faced by you. Exercise therapy should help you to get rid of symptoms. Strengthening the core and lower limb muscles should play a key role to get rid of the symptoms. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Jay In Chat Doctor. |

Hi. I was just told my son has an absolute neutrophil count of 3,700. He s 13 months old. The doctor said he has neutropedia and sounded very concerened. She told me not to leave the house with him until I get his blood work done on Tuesday (3 days from now). I am beside myself with worry. Does she really have cause to tell me that my son could die (her words exactly) if he gets any kind of sickness right now? | Neutropenia is a decrease in the absolute neutrophil count. The most common cause could be a viral infection which suppresses the neutrophil production. However, they start rising soon after the infection is gone. However, other ominous causes of Neutropenia are also there like aphasia of the bone marrow, some forms of leukemic leukemia etc. A Neutropenia patient runs a risk of being increasingly prone to bacterial infections. However, it could be a transient phase and come to normal soon. Please check with the report, because according to my reference ranges your children neutrophil count is appropriate for age |
I am on methotrexate .5 ml injections for rheumatoid arthritis and have noticed that I have had a strong odor eminating from either my urine or from my vaginal area. Could this be a side effect of the methotrexate? I did not have this odor before I began taking this medication. | Hello, Methotrexate is a Chat Doctor. In your case, because you have a strong smell in the urine, I would recommend you to have a visit with the doctor and possibly an urinalysis to rule out urinary infection. If a urinary infection is present, the doctor will have to prescribe antibiotics. Also, the doctor may consider doing some blood tests to make sure that your white blood cell count is normal. I hope this answers your query. I remain at your disposal for further medical assistance. |

I feel the pain mainly on the inside of my arm just above the elbow, is this muscle pain. Thank You Colleen | Hi, Your symptoms can be due to muscle strain, inflammation of tendon or ligament tear. Although you have mentioned no history of trauma, it is essential to rule out any fractures. X-rays can detect fractures but not muscle or ligament problems.

I am 3 months pregnant. I had my last ultrasound after 9 weeks which showed everything to be fine. After that i have started feeling sexually excited. Its been 13 weeks now. I didnt have my ultrasound after that. I masturbated many a times after that. Please suggest if there is anything wrong in masturbating and if my babay is fine ir not? | Hello, and I hope I can help you today. Changes in libido, due to the hormonal fluctuations during pregnancy, are very common, and many women report increase sexual desire during pregnancy, especially in the second trimester. The reason for that is that nausea and vomiting have largely resolved by this point, and yet you are still not large enough to feel physically uncomfortable. Sexual contact, by intercourse or by any other means, is safe and healthy during pregnancy. Masturbation itself is just one form of sexual activity and therefore will not hurt you or to your baby during pregnancy. Some women occasionally feel uterine cramping after orgasm, but this is normal and usually goes away in a short period of time and is not harmful. So in summary, masturbation is not a health risk for you or your baby during pregnancy. I hope that this adequately answer your question today, and that this advice was reassuring. Best wishes for the rest of the pregnancy, |
Hi, I have a lump in my underarm, i recently notice a strange odor and increased sweating. I realized that the lump is leaking, which is the cause of the odor. I switch from using antiperspirant everyday to only twice a week. Should I worry about this? Am I finally healing and draining from a lump that Ive had for years? | Hello! Thank you for the query. From your description it seems that you have an infected hair follicle or infected sebaceous cyst. It is leaking because there is a puss inside. It is hard to heal such infected lump without an incision and Chat Doctor. That is why I suggest you to consult a surgeon and have it incised.

Hi, I have been on microgynon 30 for a number of years. Have just got back from Kenya and have been taking malarone. I was on my pill break and due to come on Friday, am regular as clockwork and have still not come on. Due to start taking pill again tonight. Did not have sex in the 2 weeks I was away as bf not with me. Came back tues night and had sex with condom but it split. Have a done a pragnancy test which was negative. Do I take my pill as normal tonight or wait for period. Also what are chances of being pregnant? Thanks, Vikki | Hello, I have gone through the query and understood your concern. Any antibiotic or antibacterial agent can affect the performance of an oral contraceptive pill and cause failures. This may be applicable to the anti-malarial preparations also. Yet, I do not think you could be pregnant since you had the intercourse after your expected period. Home pregnancy tests read well when performed 3-7 days after a missed period and not earlier. You should get a blood test done to exclude/confirm pregnancy before you decide whether to continue with the pill. Hope this helps. |

For chapped lips apply thick coat of petroleum jelly over the lips as it locks in moisture as well as prevent Chat Doctor. . You can apply algebra gel as well as lip balms containing beeswax. Do not suck on the lips as it leads to further taking away the moisture from the lips. |

Hello doctor , I am 27 yrs old, married for 2 and half yrs . We are trying for a baby but failed conception , tried for 5 months . my periods range from 29 to 35 days . shortest being 27 days and longest 35. recently i did a follicular scan on day 22 and it seems its a polycystic picture from the reports. doctor started me off wth metformin bd and folic acid. they say i have inovulatory cycle, have insulin resistance and have to lose weight. ihave family histry of diabetes, but my mother had normal cycles and no pcod. wat are the chances that i concieve? | Hi, I understand that you have POD with insulin resistance. So the treatment started is fine. Metformin helps to sensitize tissue to insulin and weight loss does the same. The best management is weight loss by daily exercise and proper diet that helps restore the hormonal mile.Also, you have tried for only 5 months. It is suggested that a couple must try to conceive for at least 8-12 months spontaneously before undergoing any infertility treatment. The main issue in POD is an ovulation meaning ovum is not released to get fertilized. I suggest that you try the weight control and metformin for 2 months and then get an ovulation study [ultrasonographic] done to see if ovulation is occurring. If it is, then you may need to practice sexual contact on those days to achieve pregnancy. If there is no ovulation with this treatment, you may need some ovulation inducing Chat Doctor. These are common issues nowadays and many women in my OLD suffer from this problem. Please do not worry as the chances of pregnancy are good if you take proper treatment and follow your infertility specialist. Hope I was able to help you. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. I would be happy to answer any further queries. Have a nice day. |

I studied your query with available details given in your query. I understood your health concerns. Cause of the bubble lump outside vagina-From the review of the facts given in your query and with the limited data, I would advise you to consult ER Surgeon /ER GAEC doctor and get USG of the abdomen and of the para-vaginal outside area where the lump is there. This would give air bubbles / and fluid levels which would confirm the probable diagnosis of -Chronic Indirect inguinal hernia with Irreducibility- indicating partial obstruction. Possibility of Direct Inguinal Hernia with pressure while peeing causing stabbing and shouting pains -is also possibility as- it has occurred after Second delivery in your case. And needs to be ruled out. My clinical opinion on your query is--Consult ER Surgeon/Year Surgeon, whose clinical examination and-investigation with USG study of the lump is advisable for making its diagnosis. Bubble lump in the labia Major/outside the vagina-seems to be due to --Indirect Inguinal Hernia with Irreducibility due to Chronic presence with adhesions causing partial obstructions of the intestinal contents leading to stabbing and shouting pains while peeing due to the pressure on the lump while peeing.-Lately it is getting bigger in last week and is interfering during physical contacts.-Possibility of the Direct hernia with chronic adhesions due to its presence on the top of vagina and due to the hurting /pain while peeing indicates the possibility of Direct Inguinal Hernia in your case thougChatDoctormonly its occurrence is very less but needs to be ruled out by clinical examination from ER Surgeon.

Welcome to Chat Doctor. I have read and understood your problem. Your relative has a developmental disorder of her vertebral column which could be in the kypho-scoliotic pattern. The main nerves for the hands and legs go through a large nerve called the spinal cord which passes through a bony canal inside the vertebral column. So if the bony vertebral column bends too much it can put too much pressure on the spinal cord and can cause paralysis as she is probably having now.

With this she may have good chance of recovery if she gets the surgery done as soon as possible. Till then please feed her nutritious diet and well HY Chat Doctor. Take care of her urination and bowel control. Consult a Specialist Orthopedic surgeon in Spine as soon as possible for best results. Thanking you. |
My teeth has turned yellow color. I went to a dental doctor. the doctor suggested that these stains will not go by simple brushing. I need to undergo scling. He has given appointment for scaling. | Hi Rash, Scaling is a procedure for cleaning teeth which is followed by polishing to remove stains and any other deposits accumulated in time. Scaling as I am sure as your dentist would have mentioned needs to be done every 6 months. The external stains may go with scaling and polishing, but this does not result in whitening. Whitening of teeth is an entirely different procedure in which teeth lighten by 3-4 shades from the normal color or sometimes even more. This procedure is commonly referred to as bleaching. There are 2 types of whitening procedure. One is done in clinic called in office procedure and the other is done by the patient in the house called home whitening. If you desire whitening, please consult your dentist for the same. Regards |
Yesterday I was sitting on the sofa and when I turned I felt a pain in my chest underneath my left breast. It has got progressively worse since and when I breathe and move it is excruciating. I am putting heat and taking painkillers but every breath hurts and any movement or coughing. What is it ? That area feels like its pulsating | Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor.

Wear rib belt to prevent mobilization of painful rib area. 5. Better to take combination of painkiller and muscle relaxant Chat Doctor. 6. Apply ice pack application on affected area. It will be more beneficial than warm water pad. Don't worry, you will be alright. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks. |

I had a dental check up done a month ago with a teeth that is sensitive to cool air. No cavity and a X-ray done also turned out normal. So, Id been advised to change to sensitive tooth paste. Now, I have a tooth ache that is on and off repeatedly for couple days now. I find cool water helps relief the pain, and hot water add to the pain. I have been using sensitive tooth paste daily.

Im worried because on the first day i got it i couldnt pee,poop,cough light with out it being so painful im scareddd! | Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor. Looks like you have got a hematoma (blood clot) following the bump. It occurs when there is an injury to a vessel following trauma, leading to collection of blood in the region. It will get absorbed slowly but will take a few weeks in this process. You may take painkillers for your pain. But keep a watch over the swelling, and on case it becomes more painful or red you will need to get it removed, as that means that it has got infected. Hope I have been helpful. Regards |

i am sufferung from breating problem in the night times, when i consult nearest doctor he told that it is like dust elergy. He gave me some medecine. when i use those medicines i feel better but when i stop it again the same thing. can you please suggest what can do and whom to consult. | Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor.

So better to consult pulmonologist and get done clinical examination of respiratory system and PFT (Pulmonary Function Test).PFT will not only diagnose asthma, but it will also tell you about severity of the disease and treatment is based on severity only. You will mostly improve with inhaled bronchodilators (formoterol or albuterol) and inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) (budesonide or fluticasone). Oral combination of antihistamine (levocetrizine or fexofenadine) and anti-allergic (montelukast) once a day at night is also beneficial.Don't worry, you will be alright with all these. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks. |
My left side face is swollen, Im almost positive that its due to dental infection, abscess. I was unable to get to my dentist today. Also the antibiotic that Ive been using seems to not be working (metroniadole) perhaps bacteria has build up tolerance for it? I was going to have a few drinks tonight, would that be ill adviced? | Hi. Welcome to Chat Doctor. I read your query. Chat Doctor. I suggest you to visit a dentist and get the swelling checked.

Any advice? | Hi. Thanks for your query and an elucidated history.

Hi, I hurt my tailbone at least 4 months ago, i had an xray to see if there was a break and no it came back clear. i recently fell on it and it hurts so much more to sit on it... like when i sit for more than 10 mins it hurts really bad. What should i do?? should i go to a chiropractor? Or go back to the doctor? | Hi there. Thanks for your question. Tail bone pain responds best to offloading pressure over it. I would suggest you to avoid sleeping directly over back. It is beat if you would sleep on sides for a few weeks.Also, coccyx cushion which is a horse show shaped, or a ring shaped inflatable suiting Bacon cushion helps. I suggest you to use it religiously irrespective of where you are sitting over at least 6 weeks to get good relief. Relief of pressure over the tail bone is the most important step in relieving your pain. You can use any painkiller over initial few days. Hope this helps. All the Beauregard. Chat Doctor. |

My husband (age 60, 2 generation paternal cardiac history, regular medical care including ekg s, but not medicated for high blood pressure or cholesterol) suffered a 90% blockage in his Left Anterior Descending Artery and blockage in the diagonal. The cardiologist says he probably had a 40% blockage and an unstable plaque event brought on a sudden major blockage. Excellent care avoided the big one but he suffered a procedural heart attack when the diagonal collapsed as a stent was put in place in the LAD. 1. Please clarify how the diagonal may have been lost. 2.Could one regain that 10% lost function? 3. What could be ongoing consequences? 4. Is his risk of another event now elevated? Thank you very much. | Hello Welcome to Chat Doctor. The diagonal is a branch arising from the LAD. They may be single or multiple. It is a common complication during angioplasty of the LAD that the diagonal origin gets pinched off and the vessel shuts down. This causes lack of blood supply to the area supplied by the artery leading to heart muscle damage and a minor heart attack. The intensity depends on the diameter of the diagonal which varies from person to person. In some people its very small and its closing off doesn't cause a problem. It can be moderate or large sized also. Since heart muscle is damaged with the diagonal shutting off some amount of the hearts pumping function is lost. Usually since the diagonal supplies only a small portion of heart muscle, it does not lead to much Chat Doctor. It happens with about 10-15 % of patients undergoing an LAD angioplasty and does not have significant consequences. Also, it does not raise the probabilities of further adverse events. Hope I have answered your query satisfactorily. Wishing you good health Regards |
My six year old daughter has a new tooty coming in on the bottom in the front but she has not lost any teeth yet and none of her teeth are loose at all. The new tooth looks very large and is set back a little way from the gum line. She has never been to the dentist and is afraid to go to see a dentist. She has never had any dental problems before. Do you think there is any reason for concern about the way this new tooth is coming in? | Hello, This is absolutely normal. The best thing to do is to wait and watch for another couple of months. Permanent tooth will generally be a lot bigger than the baby tooth. Once her face and jaws start to grow and develop, the tooth size matches her facial proportions. Its absolutely normal for a permanent tooth to erupt behind the baby tooth. In a couple of months, the baby tooth will loosen up and shed. You can wait for a maximum of six months for the baby tooth to loosen up. If this is not happening by then, you can visit a nearby dentist and get the baby tooth safely and painlessly removed. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further. |
Hi on the 20th of Jan I had a posterior left cercival decompression c5/c6/7 and am currently on Endone for pain management and also on Lyrica. I fin Lyrica has no effect, my surgeon would like me to get off Endone, but this seems the only medication that manages my pain. Can I use Endone long term to manage pain as I still experience pain? | Oxycodone or Undone is a narcotic. Generally, it's not a good idea to be on long term narcotics due to multiple problems particularly developing a physical dependence on them. Also, they can cause constipation. I would suggest working with your surgeon. Lyrics is a good choice. There are other medications that might work including Duloxetine, an antidepressant very helpful with the kind of pain you are having. |
I am 30 years old & have been suffering from some infection for last 3 months(on panic) & I have done all the blood checkup 3 months back but as per the report everything was fine, I had taken some antibiotics post consultation with Doctor but could not get relief, again I have done all the checkup after almost 3 months (Blood Sugar, Urine, Urine Culture) but now in the report TLC is less it 3700 rest is fine. Could you please guide me, why it got it down,, Due to infection ? How can I get relief from this infection? What is the harm of less TLC? How can I get it improved? Thanks in advance. | Hello, I understand your concern. I m Chat Doctor, infectious diseases specialist, answering your query. In my opinion you should do a bone marrow examination. Many a time some viral infection also causes low TLC but after remission the count can come up. You will likely to be gone up with it. There is necessary to diagnose the cause of low TLC. Once we know the cause we can come to know what to do. Low TLC has high risk of causing many infections. If some viral infection is the cause of it. We can be alright with count soon. If it is bone marrow aphasia than bone marrow transplantation can cause this. I will be happy to answer your further concern, you can ask me on bit.ly/ Chat Doctor. Thank you.
