I am 35 years old unmarried , i was diagonized with Hepatitis B surface AG 2 years ago with 2190.42 , i have stayed off Alcoholic since then i used several drugs , today i went again to check and its 2090.42 ... I want to get married soon and ready to fly down to anywhere in India for the treatment. Please advise me if it can be cured or reduce to the lower or undectective level

you should get a few other labs checked if this has not been done, including your hepatitis b viral load. you need to get an imaging of your liver (ultrasound) to make sure you don't have cirrhosis. your doctor may want to do a liver biopsy as well depending on the results. there is treatment available for hepatitis b, which is very effective and brings down the viral load in the blood to undetectable levels within a few weeks - months. to get rid of the virus completely is more difficult, but again to keep it under control is easy. the treatment consists of one pill a day, with minimal chances of side effects.

friend has a lump where their coccyx is, has been complete agony to move, literally screaming the place down, dr gave them tramadol, hasnt helped, hospital gave him co-codemal for the pain and have done nothing else, after 4 days of having this, today it has discharge and some blood? - could this be a cyst?

hello and welcome to chatbot, a painful lump on the coccyx region with a discharge and bleed is suggestive of an infective lesion. however, severe pain suggests that there could be associated nerve compression. i would suggest you to get an mri of the spine to know the status of the spine and the spinal nerves.also, the relation of the lesion with the spine needs to be known.in the meanwhile, you can continue with your painkillers for the severe pain. definitive treatment can be given after the results of investigations is received. consult an orthopedic for further workup. thanks and take chatbot.

Q. What is the relation between lead poisoning and heart problems?

Hello doctor, I am 42 years old. I had a heart attack 12 years ago and now have three stents. By the way, I have no family history of heart disease, high blood pressure, cholesterol and anything of that nature. I am a disabled military veteran and am 40% disabled as a result of being exposed to lead and asbestos during my time in service. I am drawing disability for chronic or acute sinusitis and migraine headaches. It is my contention that my heart complications are a result of being under those same conditions while in the service. I had not had any health issues nor any family history of heart issues leading up to these complications. This is a battle I have been fighting for nearly ten years. I have provided case studies, online articles and most recently, feedback from a cardiologist that stated that there has been findings that there is a correlation between lead and asbestos exposure and heart disease. Even when I was able to obtain that particular feedback, they are now requiring additional documentation. I am reaching out to you in an effort to get an open and honest opinion. The veterans administration is asking the following. Is there a greater than 50% chance that my exposure to lead and asbestos during my service time could have lead to my heart disease and heart attack? I have also included some articles below that back up the correlation between the two.

Hello. It saddens me to hear of the whole difficulties you have gone through in the past years. I must recommend you for staying strong in the face of all these difficulties. I have thoroughly gone through all your detailed explanation and here is my view. Although I have not had clinical experience of a patient with such complications, I have thoroughly researched to find enough evidence to bring me to the conclusion that lead poisoning can lead to heart diseases and stroke, but no much evidence of asbestos causing cardiovascular diseases. These below are my findings. 1. In a study that involved 60,000 participants, it was concluded that lead poisoning was associated with cardiovascular events. Most commonly but not limited to hypertension, especially in lead blood levels below 5 μg/dL. 2. Another article also detailed the complications of lead poisoning to the cardiovascular system, although the mechanism is unknown. 3. A study by the Harvard school of public health (HSPH) also detailed the effects of bone lead to increase cardiovascular complications. In my conclusion, there is more than 50% chance of a cardiovascular complication due to lead poisoning. Although they might argue the fact that only a few cases have been reported. I feel strongly that more than 50% of it caused your heart complications. Your level of lead exposure will help your case.

What is systemic scleroderma and how does it affect the skin? Is there a specific type of pigmentation that may occur in the affected areas?

Systemic scleroderma is a rare autoimmune disease that affects the connective tissues of the body. It can cause thickening and hardening of the skin, particularly in the areas of the arms, chest, and back. In these areas, a "salt and pepper" pigmentation may occur, which is characterized by areas of lighter and darker skin that give the appearance of a speckled or mottled pattern. This pigmentation is a common symptom of systemic scleroderma, along with other skin changes such as tightness, swelling, and discoloration. Treatment for systemic scleroderma may involve medications to manage symptoms and slow the progression of the disease, as well as physical therapy or other supportive measures to help maintain function and quality of life.

Red bump on feet and hands, itchy after drinking alcohol. Allergic to beer, wine coolers. Normal liver. Allergic symptoms?

Hello, my six year old daughter had allergy testing done a couple months ago. She is allergic to trees and grass as well as cats. They only tested for the main things, so I assume there are many more allergies we don't know about. She takes 5mg of "Singulair" at night, but now with spring in bloom she is a mess. Called pediatrician last week with concerns it isn't working and they said that is the strongest med for kids. said they would call in a nose spray as well, but went to pick it up and it wasn't there, so that is no help right now. Her eyes are red and swollen and now she has red splotches around her eyes and working their way down her cheeks. We missed her dose last night due to the struggle of "allergy attitude". Her behavior is horrible to say the least and I'm really worried about the redness. This is the first time I have ever seen it. She is very sensitive to red dye in foods, but she has only eaten toast with peanut butter and a banana today. She only has problems on Sundays when the doctor isn't in!!! Any thoughts or advice? I have her sitting in her room with the air purifier playing quietly but that doesn't even seem to be helping.

Is flank pain normal while undergoing chemotherapy and radiation?

My 54 year old brother was diagnosed with sclerosing cholangitis and gallbladder cancer last month. They found a mass in his gallbladder. They told him they can't do chemo/radiation as the liver won't be able to handle it or it will kill the liver. I found 2 websites of people who have this liver condition and cancer and were given chemo/radiation. He even went and got a second opinion from Oncologists and both sets of doctors are saying the same thing, no chemo. So why are the doctors telling him that, since I just read that people were given chemo/radiation. He was given 6 months.

Good morning. Chemo radiation can be given in a case of gall bladder cancer only if the cancer is localised and the condition of liver is good. However in your brothers case, the condition of the liver is not good due the sclerosing cholangitis and might be the cancer is not localised. Hence the doctor has refused for chemo radiation. Only some form of mild chemo therapy alone can be tried in your case.regards

HiWelcome to the HCM It seems that your child has some bleeding vessel most likely a haemorrhoid which lead to the clinical symptoms. Don't worry.

Also, enrich his daily fit with proteins. You may use stool softener such as lactulose or liquid paraffin if required.In case, the problem persists then visit a pediatric surgeon for clinical examination and definitive treatment.Hopefully this will help you. I would be happy to help you in any further questions.Take care

What is the recovery time if typhidot IgM is positive?

My son is 9 and has been diiagnosed with ADHD . He has been on Concerta for 2 years and a few months ago supplements. Recently he has developed tremors in hi his legs when in certain positions like knees bent and foot pressed hard to the ground. He has also been diagnosed yesterday with iron and vit D deficiency . What is most likely causing the problem.

Hi, ADHD does not cause tremors on its own. Since your child has vitamin d deficiency, it appears to be the most likely cause of tremors. There are also chances of calcium deficiency in child. I would suggest you to start the child on calcium with vitamin d syrup and wait for atleast 1 month for the symptoms to subside. I hope this has helped you. Wishing your child good health. Take care.

Q. For how long should I take Kalachikai powder to overcome PCOD problem?

Hello doctor,As I have PCOD problem and also cyst, I take tablets for period. My friend suggested Kalachikai powder. I used it for 30 days continuously, but no use. How many days should I take that powder and how to overcome this problem?

Hello. For PCOD (polycystic ovarian disease), powder Kalachikai has a good effect, but the duration of treatment is long (more than three months). For proper evaluation of disease, please go for USG whole abdomen and other investigations. If the size and number of cysts are more, then I suggest consulting a gynecologist as you may require surgery. If the number and size of cysts are less, you may continue treatment along with syrup Evecare 10 ml BD and Kanchnar Guggulu two BD.

Suggest treatment for pneumonia

It says on the chest X-ray that there is a linear density seen in the right mid lungfield which may represent a prominent vessel or fibrosis. I had an xray last year but there was no findings like this. However, I had a tuberculosis or Primary complex when I was a child.. Would that possibly affect the result? I m a little bit worried now.. Can u tell me what is prominent vessel and fibrosis or is t just the same? Thank you

Hello Thanks for writing to HCMLinear density in right mid field of lung may be due to fibrosis or prominent blood vessel.Both conditions doesn't require any treatment.For confirmation,contrast CT scan of thorax should be done.Linear density is more in favour of fibrosis since you have history of tuberculosis.Fibrosis is a healed stage of infection and generally it doesn't require any intervention.Take CareDr.Indu Bhushan

hi. welcome to chatbot . i have gone through your query and can understand your concern... as per your complaint reduced mouth opening or erasmus is commonly seen in patients who have undergone wisdom tooth extraction and commonly occurs due to muscle stiffness. nothing to worry as gradually the pain will reduce as well as mouth opening will improve. you should take anti-inflammatory painkillers like ibuprofen three times a day and muscle relaxants containing chlorzoxasone should be taken twice a day. do alternate warm [not hot] and cold compresses over the jaw. massage the muscles on the affected side of the face by using round motions of the fingertips and massage over the side of face. in case of acute pain she can take retool dt too. try to open the mouth only till the limit it does not pain severely. take a soft diet. do not panic as it can take around 2 to 3 weeks for the mouth opening to become normal. if you have further queried you can ask me a direct question by visiting my profile on chatbot and clicking on ask me a question. i am always there to help. hope this information helps. thanks and regards. chatbot.

Does getting pregnant at an elder age cause risk to pregnancy?

hi i want to ask abt myslef i m 34 and i m apure virgin girl i may get married next year i wnat to ask that is it dangerous to get pregnant at the age of 35 of after 35 becoz i've heard that women gets serious problems at this stage.. i dont have any kind of period problem my physical health is good..

Hi, I think there is no problem in conceiving after 35 years also. There is a higher chance of some genetic abnormality in the baby, which can be diagnosed on ultrasound and blood tests. Also there can be a chance of high blood pressure during pregnancy, but it can be controlled well by medicines. So, don't worry about it. Just plan to conceive as soon as possible after marriage. Hope I have answered your question. Regards Dr khushboo

Is pregnancy possible without ejaculatory intercourse?

Hello, yesterday morning I had sex with my partner and he came inside of me. I am currently on the mini pill. I take it within 3 hours of the same time every night. However after yesterday morning I forgot to take my pill that same night. I just recently remembered but have not been able to take my missed pill or my pill for Saturday night. How will this effect me? Was I still protected? What are the chances of a pregnancy?

Hello and Welcome to 'Ask A Doctor' service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice. As you took pills before and immediately after intercourse the possibility of pregnancy is less. But as you missed the pill next day, better to take within 24 hrs and also that day pill. If you missed a pill completely for one day, continue remaining pills and better to use barrier contraception for one week. And if you miss your expected date of periods better to go for urine pregnancy test once. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Please summerize the given abstract to a title

OBJECTIVES: To study abnormality of spirometry, six-minute walk distance, and chest radiograph among patients recovered from Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19). METHODS AND STUDY DESIGN: A prospective cohort study was conducted in 87 COVID-19 confirmed cases who recovered and discharged from a medical school hospital in Thailand. At the follow-up visit on day 60 after onset of symptoms, patients underwent an evaluation by spirometry (FVC, FEV1, FEV1/FVC, FEF25-75, and PEF), a six-minute-walk test (6MWT), and a chest radiograph. RESULTS: There were 35 men and 52 women, with a mean age of 39.6±11.8 years and the mean body mass index (BMI) was 23.8±4.3 kg/m(2). Of all, 45 cases had mild symptoms; 35 had non-severe pneumonia, and 7 had severe pneumonia. Abnormality in spirometry was observed in 15 cases (17.2%), with 8% of restrictive defect and 9.2% of obstructive defect. Among the patients with an abnormal spirometry, the majority of the cases were in the severe pneumonia group (71.4%), compared with 15.6% in the non-severe pneumonia group, and 10.2% in the mild symptom group (p = 0.001). The mean six-minute-walk distance (6MWD) in the mild symptom and non-severe pneumonia groups was 538±56.8 and 527.5±53.5 meters, respectively. Although the severe pneumonia group tended to have a shorter mean 6-min walking distance, but this was not statistically significant (p = 0.118). Twelve patients (13.8%) had abnormal chest radiographs that showed residual fibrosis. This abnormality was more common in the severe pneumonia group (85.7%) and in others (7.5%) (p<0.001). CONCLUSIONS: Abnormal spirometry was noted in 17.2% of COVID-19 survivors with both restrictive and obstructive defects. Severe COVID-19 pneumonia patients had higher prevalence rates of abnormal spirometry and residual fibrosis on the chest radiographs when compared to patients in the mild symptom and non-severe pneumonia groups.

Q. What are the drugs of choice for social anxiety?

Hi doctor, I am a 33 year old male. I have been suffering from social anxiety for the past one year. Although I was extremely shy as a child and up to about 25 years of age. After that, I overcame my social anxiety and became confident. I managed somehow not to care about other peoples opinion about me. I could convince with almost anybody because I ignored what the people think or say. But, for the past one year I have lost my ability to ignore what other people think or say and I have started to value their opinions about me rather than my own opinion about me. I have become self conscious, shy and quiet. I am not feeling depressed or sad, but this feeling has made me extremely unproductive and I just think what others think about me. My past medication is Olanex for the social anxiety. Please recommend some other medications as this condition has been disturbing my social as well as professional life and my colleagues have started to make fun of me.

Hi. I have read your query and understand your concern. Social anxiety disorder is really a disturbing condition, but can be controlled with proper medicines and behavior therapy. Anxiety disorders occur in episodes and sometimes follow waxing and waning course. You had anxiety before 25 years of age and the anxiety relapsed since last one year. The feelings that people are judging you, ideas that what others will think or say, self-consciousness are typical symptoms of social anxiety. Feelings that you are good for nothing and unproductive are due to co-morbid depressive symptoms of social anxiety. Do you have anxiety during a presentation or in group discussions? Do you feel shy or stutter while talking to some person of big stature or any problems in talking to females? In severe social anxiety such type of anxiety situations is also seen. Medicines especially selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) are drugs of choice for social anxiety. I suggest you to use Escitalopram drug. The drug is started with 5 mg dose for about 10 days and then can be increased to 10 mg. The drug should be taken in the morning after meals and should be used for about three to four months. After four to six weeks the dose can be reduced gradually. I suggest you to use Propranolol for anxiety provoking situations. The drug can be taken about half to one hour before some situations like presentations or group discussions. Consult your specialist doctor, discuss with him or her and take the medicine with their consent. These medicines will definitely help in improvement. Breathing exercise and relaxation exercises will help you to control anxiety. Apart from this relaxation exercise, behavior therapy also helps in reducing the symptoms.

DearWe understand your concernsI went through your description. I suggest you not to worry much. From the given details, I can surely suggest that you are anxious. Stress and anxiety go hand in hand. The high blood pressure with tachycardia without any cardiac or digestive symptoms surely points at anxiety and apprehension. You should learn to relax and handle the stress and anxiety. Do not take self medications. You may also be obsessed with blood pressure monitor. The moment you tie itto your arm, the BP rises, but in actuality it is not. Therefore please do not take BP medicine without expert advise. Continue the current medicines, exercise,do relaxation exercises, meditation etc. Psychotherapy treatment should also help you immensely.If you still require my services on this aspect, you may post a direct query to me on this portal. Please include as many details as possible. I shall provide psychotherapy treatment tailormade for you which should help you good.Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications.Good luck.

What is the process for reversing the anticoagulant effects of warfarin, and how does this process work?

Warfarin is a medication used to prevent blood clots, but in some cases it may be necessary to reverse its anticoagulant effects. This can be done with the administration of vitamin K, which works to counteract the effects of warfarin by promoting the production of clotting factors in the liver. However, the effects of vitamin K are delayed, and it may take several hours or days for the anticoagulant effects of warfarin to be fully reversed. In some cases, other medications or treatments may be used to manage bleeding or to prevent the formation of blood clots while the effects of warfarin are being reversed. It is important for healthcare providers to carefully monitor patients who are taking warfarin and to be prepared to manage any potential complications or adverse effects associated with anticoagulation therapy.

The COVID-19 pandemic is a global crisis that has caused a punishing economic impact on businesses, particularly due to many countries adopting measures such as the Movement Control Order (MCO) to curb the spread of the COVID-19 disease. The impact hits the most on microentrepreneurs since they are not able to operate their businesses, of which the margins of profit and resources are relatively small. The purpose of this research was to explore the challenges faced by microentrepreneurs during MCO and their coping strategies used to overcome these challenges. This study utilized the qualitative case study approach and collected interview data among the identified microentrepreneurs that met the criterion sampling. The findings uncover that these microentrepreneurs typically faced challenges related to restricted cash flows, lack of customers and supplies shortage issues which impacted their income and business operations during MCO. These challenges were addressed using coping strategies, namely having the ability to control stress, developing a strong spiritual relationship with God, applying problem solving thinking skills, utilizing social capital (offline and online), and optimizing digital marketing. It is recommended that government agencies, NGOs, and social movement bodies contribute to microentrepreneurs by organising and engaging in digital empowerment programs to enable rural entrepreneurs to leverage on their access to digital commerce, internet marketing and alike.

Taking Methylprednisolone, Loratadine, benedryl to reduce itching. Big rash patches on neck, ears. How to reduce?

My boyfriend has a rash on the trunk of his body (hes very hairly so I can really only see it on his sides. Hes been running a low grade temp (99.1-100.5) for several days and feels run down and body aches off and on all day everyday. This may sound stupid but his rash on his sides appears to look like skin that is modeled and leaves my finger print when i push on the skin. What could this possibly be?

Hi,Your friend is having erythematous rash.And he is having high temperature ..fever.This much history suggests that probably your friend might have some viral infection.So the rash might be viral rash.There are many viruses,which can cause suh rash.Give him symptomatic treatment.Antipyretic drugs like paracetamol lowers the temperature.Antibiotics may be given to prevent secondary bacterial infection.Rash may go away in 2 to 3 weeks.However, you consult dermatologist for firm diagnosis and treatment.I hope you got my answer.Thanks.Dr. Ilyas Patel MD

In a chronic smoker who develops hypertension, hyperglycemia, and weight gain, what is the likely diagnosis?

The likely diagnosis is Cushing's syndrome, which is a condition that occurs when the body is exposed to high levels of the hormone cortisol for an extended period of time. In chronic smokers, Cushing's syndrome is often caused by an ectopic production of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) due to small cell lung carcinoma. Symptoms of Cushing's syndrome may include hypertension (high blood pressure), hyperglycemia (high blood sugar), weight gain, muscle weakness, and mood changes. Treatment for Cushing's syndrome may involve addressing the underlying cause, such as with surgery, chemotherapy, or radiation therapy for cancer, as well as medications to lower cortisol levels, such as ketoconazole or metyrapone.

Is diarrhea a side effect of norvelo?

Hi,Incomplete data like apart from delayed periods do you have any other symptoms or have you done any blood tests to confirm anemia? Orofer XT Tablet is commonly prescribed for the treatment and prevention of anemia associated with deficiencies of iron and folic acid. Its common side effects include metallic taste, nausea, abdominal pain, constipation and black colored stools. If your hemoglobin is low or if your delayed period is due to an early pregnancy, this medication may be taken.Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Will pupil size change after wearing spectacles?

My 6 year old daughter had a mild concusion a few months ago and since then has periodically wakes up complaining that her eyes hurt and she feels dizzy and then starts to vomit she has been back to the doctor 3 times she has had a cat scan but they relate it to her not whereing her glasses.

HiI understand your daughter's problem.It need not necessarily be due to the injury she suffered but always a second opinion with an ophthalmologist or a neurologist is valid. A CT scan usually helps in case of trauma but sometimes an MRI scan proves more informative. It can also be due to refractory error which needs complete evaluation of the power of her eyes and further treatment. Since she's old enough false interpretations of eye test are unlikely.

Who is at highest risk for Renal cell carcinoma ?

Clinical data has suggested that the development of renal cell carcinoma is related to several factors. Genetic and hereditary risk factors Von Hippel-Lindau disease Hereditary papillary renal cell carcinoma Hereditary leiomyomatosis Birt-Hogg-Dube syndrome Hereditary renal oncocytoma Lifestyle-related and job-related risk factors Smoking: Tobacco use increases the risk of developing renal cell carcinoma. Obesity: Clinical surveys demonstrate that renal cell carcinoma has a close relationship with people who are very overweight. Workplace exposures: Clinical studies have suggested that workplace exposure to certain substances such as asbestos, cadmium, some herbicides, benzene, and organic solvents, particularly trichloroethylene, may increase the risk for renal cell carcinoma. Drugs: Some studies have suggested that phenacetin (non-prescription pain reliever) and diuretics (medicines uesd to treat hypertension or heart failure by causing the kidneys to remove salt and fluid from the body) may be linked to renal cell carcinoma. Advanced kidney disease: People with advanced kidney disease, especially those needing dialysis, have a higher risk of renal cell carcinoma. The reasons may be the accumulation of the metabolic toxin. A family history of renal cell carcinoma Hypertension Gender: Men have about twice the risk of developing renal cell carcinoma than women. Race: Epidemical data shows that African Americans have a slightly higher rate of renal cell carcinoma than other races.

X-linked congenital stationary night blindness i m suffering from similar or same decease.my mothers father suffered from same & my brother also.we have problem in low light infact cant view in damp conditions during day also have myopia but still not normal myopia cant see little object with clarity.life is looking like imprisonment.is there any chance for our recovery from this x linked decease.will we be able to see like normal ones.plz help. my age 38 y brother 44.address

autosomal recessive congenital stationary night blindness: Autosomal recessive congenital stationary night blindness is a disorder of the retina, which is the specialized tissue at the back of the eye that detects light and color. People with this condition typically have difficulty seeing and distinguishing objects in low light (night blindness). For example, they may not be able to identify road signs at night or see stars in the night sky. They also often have other vision problems, including loss of sharpness (reduced acuity), nearsightedness (myopia), involuntary movements of the eyes (nystagmus), and eyes that do not look in the same direction (strabismus). The vision problems associated with this condition are congenital, which means they are present from birth. They tend to remain stable (stationary) over time. Autosomal recessive congenital stationary night blindness is likely a rare disease; however, its prevalence is unknown. Mutations in several genes can cause autosomal recessive congenital stationary night blindness. Each of these genes provide instructions for making proteins that are found in the retina. These proteins are involved in sending (transmitting) visual signals from cells called rods, which are specialized for vision in low light, to cells called bipolar cells, which relay the signals to other retinal cells. This signaling is an essential step in the transmission of visual information from the eyes to the brain. Mutations in two genes, GRM6 and TRPM1, cause most cases of this condition. These genes provide instructions for making proteins that are necessary for bipolar cells to receive and relay signals. Mutations in other genes involved in the same bipolar cell signaling pathway are likely responsible for a small percentage of cases of autosomal recessive congenital stationary night blindness. Gene mutations that cause autosomal recessive congenital stationary night blindness disrupt the transmission of visual signals between rod cells and bipolar cells or interfere with the bipolar cells' ability to pass on these signals. As a result, visual information received by rod cells cannot be effectively transmitted to the brain, leading to difficulty seeing in low light. The cause of the other vision problems associated with this condition is unclear. It has been suggested that the mechanisms that underlie night blindness can interfere with other visual systems, causing myopia, reduced visual acuity, and other impairments. Some people with autosomal recessive congenital stationary night blindness have no identified mutation in any of the known genes. The cause of the disorder in these individuals is unknown. This condition is inherited in an autosomal recessive pattern, which means both copies of the gene in each cell have mutations. The parents of an individual with an autosomal recessive condition each carry one copy of the mutated gene, but they typically do not show signs and symptoms of the condition.

just had a stent placed in the left side of my heart in a vessal that was 98% blocked but my right coranary artery that was 100% blocked was not touched because the risk was higher, don t understand why both blockages were not cleared, can you explain?

hello. i understand your concerns. i can only assume the scenarios when a totally occluded (blocked) artery is not opened. in my experience, there are several reasons we do not open a 100% blocked artery. in cases of a remote myocardial infarction, which was caused by a totally blocked artery, there is no benefit of opening an artery which, after opening, would supply a damaged territory of the heart. in other cases, the left circumflex artery is the dominant artery (8% of people worldwide) and the right coronary artery is a small, non-important, artery. the risk would be higher if the artery is opened in these cases, then the benefit would be. another reason is, if the other artery (the one that was 98% blocked) was scented in a state of an acute myocardial infarction caused by this artery, then the other artery is scented in a second time. these are the major reasons why an interventional cardiologist has doubts of opening a closed artery. i hope i was helpful.

Will i get pregnant due to sex on 14th day of my cycle?

Hi Doctor, I am 20. Had unprotected sex on Saturday evening, waited until Monday evening to consume Postinor. Was on the 14th day of my cycle when intercourse happened but waited until the 16th to get the pill. I was wondering, could I be pregnant? Could you please explain about fertile phase and ovulation? And what will happen when sperms are present (because sperms can live up to 5 days, correct?) Appreciated it so much because I am quite anxious as I m currently studying in college. Thank you.

Hello dearI understand your concernOvulation:If you have regular cycle of the 28 days then ovulation is occur on 14th day of the cycleFertile phase of the cycle:Generally 10th to 20th day of cycle called fertile phase of cycle.Sperm can live in the female genital tract for the 5-6 days. So if sexual intercourse is done in these days, there is chance of the pregnancy.Sperm that live in the genital tract meet the ovum that released during the ovulation and cause fertilization.You have postinor 2 approximately after 2 days.It is effective in preventing the pregnancy around 70-80%.So there may be some chance of the pregnancy as you have sex in the fertile phase of the cycle.Postinor 2 also cause delay in the period by 8-12 days.If your period will delay by more than 12 days then go for urine pregnancy test and or blood HCG to confirm the pregnancy.If you will be pregnant then still you can terminate the intrauterine pregnancy by abortion pill under the advise of the gynecologistMeanwhile avoid stress, take healthy diet, drink plenty of water and do regular exerciseHope this may help youBest regardsDr. Sagar

I was bitten by a medium size dog a week ago. He bit the top of my hand and would not let go. There was almost no punctures because the teeth were dull. But the hand is still very tender. I did not go to doctors at the time. Should i have it checked?

hello, welcome to chatbot, rabies is a disease which is also transmitted by bite of the monkey, it is a 100% fatal disease, but it is 100% preventable by proper and adequate treatment. as you were bitten by a dog on the hand, and it has not led to any bleeding, according to who categorizes it has been categorized into cat ii. cat ii requires active immunization with antirabies vaccine on days 0,3,7,14 and 28 (if the dog is healthy you can stop the vaccine after the third dose). the vaccine should be taken to the shoulder by the intramuscular route. you need to take a shot of tetanus injection too. the aforementioned treatment will protect you against developing the disease rabies. thank you.

Q. Can bumps in throat after sex be due to HIV?

Hi doctor, I had protected sex with a male prostitute. I did not receive it, I was giving and later I received it from the prostitute. This occurred before five months. I got tested at the health department for HIV and ECT and they came back negative. I looked at the symptoms and I am panicking. I have had a sore throat, runny and stuffy nose, lower back pain. I stand up at work all day (if that has something to do with it). My throat is red and I have had a bump on the back of the tonsils and it was white but it went away and today I now have bumps and kind of white-yellowish bumps. I have had diarrhea one day and I was feleing warm. All of those other symptoms that happened have gone. Just today, my throat is making me scared. It does not hurt or anything. It is just how it looks and the bumps.

Hello. I can understand your anxiety but anyways sore throat and tonsillitis can happen to a normal person also. You have tested for HIV and that test has come negative. You need not worry as that test came negative which has a good sensitivity. Pictures you have sent (attachment removed to protect patient identity) shows redness and swollen tonsils but that is not to worry about. Do not panic, just take rest, drink plenty of liquids, do saline gargle twice to thrice a day. You shall be alright within a couple of days.

hi and thanks for query, he shall certainly need a careful examination by his doctor. gastritis and peptic ulcer disease need to be evaluated for carefully and managed. a physical examination and a microscopy could be sufficient for this purpose. secondly, an infectious process, with a careful examination of the throat and the chest. a chest x-ray and an abdominal ultrasound can be very useful to evaluated for a lung infection and exclude pulmonary tb, since he has been feeling as such for more than three weeks. blood tests and cultures to check for a blood infection shall also be very useful. i do suggest you book an appointment with an internist, for an in depth and careful assessment. thanks and kind regards as i wish the best of health. bain le, md.

I have over the last 6 months noticed indentations on the top of my head. They are getting bigger and now seem to be moving down onto my forehead. The have increased in size. They feel like the soft spot on the top of a baby s head. No other symptoms other than low blood pressure and occasional dizziness. Should I seek medical assistance?

hello! thank you for your question on chatbot! i understand your concern. the new indentations on your head may be caused by different disorders affecting your skin, soft tissues, bones and brain covering layers(the meninges). these may be inflammatory, infectious, traumatic causes. you don't refer any head trauma. a vitamin d deficiency could also cause bone deformations with these changes. so i would recommend having a good physical examination by your gp, a full blood work, vitamin d and calcium levels and a head x-ray in two directions to evaluate better the problem and find the possible cause. hope to have been of help! best wishes!

last night I was drinking I only had three bottles and half a vodka and when I went out for a cigarette I felt I was going to collapse so I sat down and then had to go inside but I felt sick and was sweating profusely with my heart racing. I took me shoes off and put my head as low as possible to try to help. This also happened to me on monday not drinking but I had smoked a little bit of weed. This time I had to lie on the floor. Also happened me around 2 weeks ago and I was drinking on this occasion again I had to lie on the floor. Apparently when this happens my lips go blue and all colour goes from my face. I have collapsed with a hangover one day also and almost twice when working out. I have pins and needles very regularly of late and lots of headaches - with some back neck and wrist pain. Do you have any idea what this could be??

hellothanks for posting at chatbot. i have gone through your description. i would have been able to help you better had you provided your age. your symptoms need urgent attention and investigation. it may be a vasovagal syncope. but since there have been multiple episodes of it, you must get investigated. these symptoms can also be caused due to heart issues and blockage of the neck vessels which supply blood to the brain. i recommend an ecg, 2 d echo, carotid artery doppler and x-ray of chest and cervical spine. also, please get your blood tests -cbc, it d, it b12, and fasting and post lunch blood sugars. please revert with the above test results. please also measure your bp regularly. if all these tests are normal, an mri +mra brain should be done. please refrain from any alcohol, tobacco and weed. wishing you good healthregards

Two of my disks in my back bulged, ripped and one slipped a few weeks ago. After taking a pregnancy test that was negative, I was given an epidural steroid back injection procedure with X-ray and all. I had been on muscle relaxers (2 weeks), a nerve blocker (3 nights), oxycotton and rx dose Alieve (2 weeks). I found out I was pregnant during that time but it was too soon to test yes. How much effect could this have on my baby?

i welcome you to chatbot .com. as far as pregnancy is concerned---yes---in this way you may get pregnant as sometimes the pill you took fails to work 100% as we wish it should have to do. chances of failure are always there in this method of contraception with morning after pills. kindly go for a laboratory pregnancy test after two weeks of your first sexual intercourse. consult your nearest organ for proper evaluation and interpretation of the lab results. sometimes periods get delayed due to hormonal and other environmental factors and a delay of 11-12 days is taken normal. hope it was all you needed the answer for. have a nice time ahead. healthiest regards!

Circular rash appears on torso after hot shower usually gone by end of day. Is not raised and not itchy. My sister has the same splotches , she lives in a different state. Hers appeared 3 years ago same symptoms only now she has multiple red splotches and they dont disappear. Any idea what this may be?

hello. thanks for writing to us at chatbot this is suggestive of cholinergic urticaria. it clinically presents as either red rashes or raised welts. itching is subjective. the trigger in this type of urticaria is often a change in core body temperature. certain well known triggers are e.g. exercise, hot shower, spicy food, strong emotions etc. once the cause of the rash is identified, it may be possible to avoid situations that trigger it e.g. hot shower in your case. however, in many cases it may be difficult to stop certain triggers like sweating, particularly in warm climates and if exercising is part of a daily routine. it is chronic and is best treated with a single does of an oral antihistamine e, g cetirizine 10 mg once daily, can be helpful in preventing the condition from arising. treatment is long termregards

Dark and brown spots on my leg due to hyper pigmentation.

Hi doctorI am 26th years old I have a problem like I am getting married within 2 months but due to hyperpigmentation skin between my legs got dark and brown spots it looks dirty i consulted with dermatologist she suggested me to use depiwhite and candid B cream so using this would it remove or lighten dark skin please suggest me some solution can I go for glycolic peeling on legs ?

Hi!, Welcome To HealthcareMagic forum, I would like to know few things here.Do you get itching between your legs(groins)? Do you see any redness or peeling of skin there ?If so then you need to take a course of anti fungal medicine along with some topical creams .If there are no such symptoms then probably its just dark due to friction. Its nit very easy to lighten up this pigmentation .You can try creams like hydroquinone over there.Glycolic peeling is not going to help much. One thing you can try is LASERS.There are specific lasers like q-switched nd:yag laser which can work good over there. But this laser is not available at all the clinics,you need to find out a good laser clinic which has this facility. If you can tell me where you belong to then probably I can help you find a good clinic. regards, Dr.chawda

What causes Tricuspid prolapse?

The tricuspid valve separates the right lower heart chamber (the right ventricle) from the right upper heart chamber (right atrium). The most common cause of tricuspid prolapse is swelling of the right ventricle. Such swelling may be a complication of any disorder that causes failure of the right ventricle, such as rheumatic fever, lung diseases such as emphysema. Tricuspid prolapse may be found in those with infections, birth defects that cause the valves to be floppy and not function correctly. Degenerative process in the valve can also cause the valve to slip out of place and not function properly.

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.

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic. 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.

In late 2019, SARS-CoV-2, a new coronavirus, emerged from Wuhan, China, and caused a world pandemic in a few months. There are no US Food and Drugs Administration (USFDA)-approved antiviral drugs or vaccines that could be used to prevent or treat this viral infection. However, several clinical trials are ongoing, searching for therapeutic alternatives. As time is crucial in a pandemic, the scientific community has used drug repurposing and data obtained from in silico models to identify possible lead compound inhibitors of SARS-CoV-2. Direct-acting antivirals are the most promising tools to control viral infections. One of the targets for direct-acting antivirals is the main protease (Mpro), a key enzyme in the SARS-CoV-2 replication cycle. This protease is a cysteine protease that shares high homology with the SARS-CoV Mpro and could be susceptible to blocking its activity by compounds such as HIV protease inhibitors. In this book chapter, we focused on the structural features of the SARS-CoV-2 Mpro that could be applied to developing new therapies using computational aid, although it is not certain whether the outcomes of such computational studies will immediately result in effective anti-SARS-CoV-2 therapy.

MRI shows posterocentral disc extrusion at L4-L5 level indenting thecal sac, have back pain, even while sneezing, coughing. Reason ?

Hi I ve had a very bad back pain recently. It s a lower and middle part of my spin. Basically really hurts in the mornings when I wake up it hurts when I breath or yawn can t lie on my back only on side. And found a lump on my spine in the middle part that extremely hurts when you touch it even when I sit and touch the chair it hurts. Any ideas please?

Hello. Thanks for writing to us. The painful lump on your back could be due to a local infection in the area like abscess. You need to get the area examined by an orthopedician for a proper diagnosis so that proper treatment can be started. I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.

Since the emergence of SARS-CoV-2, humans have been exposed to distinct SARS-CoV-2 antigens, either by infection with different variants, and/or vaccination. Population immunity is thus highly heterogeneous, but the impact of such heterogeneity on the effectiveness and breadth of the antibody-mediated response is unclear. We measured antibody-mediated neutralisation responses against SARS-CoV-2Wuhan, SARS-CoV-2α, SARS-CoV-2δ and SARS-CoV-2ο pseudoviruses using sera from patients with distinct immunological histories, including naive, vaccinated, infected with SARS-CoV-2Wuhan, SARS-CoV-2α or SARS-CoV-2δ, and vaccinated/infected individuals. We show that the breadth and potency of the antibody-mediated response is influenced by the number, the variant, and the nature (infection or vaccination) of exposures, and that individuals with mixed immunity acquired by vaccination and natural exposure exhibit the broadest and most potent responses. Our results suggest that the interplay between host immunity and SARS-CoV-2 evolution will shape the antigenicity and subsequent transmission dynamics of SARS-CoV-2, with important implications for future vaccine design. Author Summary Neutralising antibodies provide protection against viruses and are generated because of vaccination or prior infections. The main target of anti-SARS-CoV-2 neutralising antibodies is a protein called Spike, which decorates the viral particle and mediates viral entry into cells. As SARS-CoV-2 evolves, mutations accumulate in the spike protein, allowing the virus to escape antibody-mediated immunity and decreasing vaccine effectiveness. Multiple SARS-CoV-2 variants have appeared since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, causing various waves of infection through the population and infecting-in some cases-people that had been previously infected or vaccinated. Since the antibody response is highly specific, individuals infected with different variants are likely to have different repertoires of neutralising antibodies. We studied the breadth and potency of the antibody-mediated response against different SARS-CoV-2 variants using sera from vaccinated people as well as from people infected with different variants. We show that potency of the antibody response against different SARS-CoV-2 variants depends on the particular variant that infected each person, the exposure type (infection or vaccination) and the number and order of exposures. Our study provides insight into the interplay between virus evolution and immunity, as well as important information for the development of better vaccination strategies.

Q. Why do periods get delayed after first time sex?

Hi doctor, I had sex for the first time. After that, I did not get my periods yet. I went to a gynecologist. She had taken my blood sample and it was negative. But, still I have not gotten my periods and it has been a week ahead. What could be the reason for my late periods?

Hello. As the serum beta hCG levels are less than 3 mIU/mL, the pregnancy is definitely ruled out. The delay in the menses is mostly due to sex induced stress after the first time when reproductive hormones readjust themselves. The menses can get delayed even up to two weeks, so just wait for another week and they should arrive. If not, then you can safely opt for a progesterone withdrawal to resume menses.

Low-cost improvised continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) device is safe and efficacious in neonatal respiratory distress. There is a great necessity for similar device in adults, and this has been especially made apparent by the recent Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, which is unmasking the deficiencies of healthcare system in several low-resource countries. We propose a simplified and inexpensive model of improvised CPAP in adults using locally available resources including aquarium air pumps and a novel pressure release mechanism. Although the safety and efficacy of improvised CPAP in adults are not established, the conceptual model we propose has the potential to serve as a lifesaving technology in many low-resource settings during this ongoing pandemic and thus calls for expedited research.

First off I have a bone disese called fibrous displaysia. aboiut a year ago I had major surgery to scrape a a large portion of cystic material in my right femur. then they had to inset a largde rod in the middle of my damaged bone and secure with 3 largenails. While in hospital from surgrey i developed pnuemonia and had an 8 day stay instesd of 2. I have been assuresd this is in no wat linked to cancer. About a month ago I was having a lot of pain in this leg. more than Dr. thought I should have. oddly enough when I went to see DR. I was on a course of antibiotics for broncitus. He decided to take blood to check for bone infection. Called back and said white blood cell count was prettyhigh, but was nothing to do with any bine issue. At that time my count was 20,000. Followed up with family dr. Two weeks ago blood count had dropped from 20 to 13,000. Family dr. thought that was good sign but wanted another full blood panel. Blood test yesterday came back at 16,000. What are some of the things would cause this sort of flucutuation? even though it is up down and now back up......any suggestios on what might cause this to happen?

hi i am chatbot. . actually a lot of causes could have caused such fluctuation but the main role of increased wbc counts is infection, when bacteria are in your blood stream your body defense mechanism produce more wbc to withstand and attack the bacterial cells. your immune system may have been affected by the treatments you have been using as some medications like antibiotics and steroids may interfere with the blood counts. i don't think you should worry about the fluctuation i think you should worry about the source of infection causing wbc production by your immune system and the

hi i do care for your concern. doing a blood test will help to differentiate the bacterial and viral infection. but being treated for osteomyelitis, it's advisable to check whether the infection is completely cured. if i were your treating doctor then i would advise doing a blood work up with abcs esr crp values and consult your physician to know bacterial or viral. if bacterial then bone workup should be done to check for infection cleared or not. hope i have answered your doubts, if you have more feel free to ask. thank you.

What is primary closed-angle glaucoma and what is the cause of this condition?

Primary closed-angle glaucoma is a type of glaucoma that occurs when the drainage system in the eye becomes blocked, leading to an increase in intraocular pressure. This can cause damage to the optic nerve and lead to vision loss. The cause of primary closed-angle glaucoma is the enlargement or forward movement of the lens in the eye, which can push the iris forward and obstruct the drainage angle. This can occur suddenly, leading to acute closed-angle glaucoma, or gradually over time, leading to chronic closed-angle glaucoma. Treatment for primary closed-angle glaucoma typically involves medications to reduce intraocular pressure, as well as laser or surgical procedures to improve drainage and prevent further damage to the optic nerve.

What are the symptoms of cancer?

My niece had Thyroid cancer 15 years ago. She was pregnant at the time. They removed her thyroid and had the radio isotope treatment. A year ago she was dx with a 1 cm nodule on her R carotid. They told her it was probably from the collapsed thyroid leaves cookie crumbs and nodules may form around them. Today she was to have a biopsy nut had an ultrasound instead because it is on her carotid. It is now over 3 cm. What type of specialist should she be seeing? She has been told there is nothing that can be done. Is this true?

Hi,Thanks for writing in.With a history of thyroid cancer 15 years ago, possibility of cancer recurrence must be evaluated. It is important to do detailed investigation for the nodule on the neck. As ultrasound is already done, the next step will be to do a CT scan contrast of the neck. A MRI scan neck can be done if available. This will tell the exact location, size and relation to the carotid. A biopsy can be planned based on the CT scan.She should consult a head and neck cancer surgeon right now. They are experts and will be able to tell if the nodule is resectable or not. With proper technique and guidance, an ultrasound guided FNAC and biopsy can be attempted and a confirmatory diagnosis is to be made.After making a pathological diagnosis, treatment can be started even if the tumor is not operable. Chemotherapy and radiation will always help if surgery is difficult. Please do not worry.

What causes nausea and abdomen pain?

I had a mild pelvocaliectasia as it reflected in my abdominal ultrasound and now I can see blood and puss and some brown strips which is really strange, I only see this after peeing upon wiping with tissue paper, can you please tell me that they are related. Thank you. by the way there is no odor thanks much

Hi.Thanks for your query.The first thing I can understand is that you are definitely suffering from Urinary tract infection (UTI). The blood , pus , brown strips can be due to local problems or as a part of UTI.""Pelvicaleictasia'' means the structures appear more fuller than they should on ultrasonography and indicate that there is an obstruction to the out-flow of urine from the kidney into the bladder, any where in the ureter or so.IVP= intravenous pyelography is the best investigation to diagnose further to get to the guideline for further management. You also need all the routine tests of blood and URINE- routine, microscopy, culture and sensitivity.

Hi, I had a ganglion cyst removed by a needle yesterday at the hospital but instead of a clear fluid it was blood and quite alot, now I cannot move my hand or wrist due to the pain and the lump is still there and even more painful what should I do and what will the next form of treatment be? And is blood normal instead of clear fluid?

hi, the pain and swelling in your wrist in the area of surgery is likely to be bruising from the procedure at this early stage. the procedure you had will not have removed the ganglion, it will have aspirated the contents of the cyst. i am surprised it was blood as ganglia do not usually contain blood. in order to more reliably treat a ganglion i would suggest surgical removal. therefore, if your symptoms do not improve in two days, a visit to your doctor would be appropriate for further assessment. chatbot.

Q. Is it advisable to use Neomycin during first month of pregnancy?

Hello doctor, My wife is currently on her sixth month of pregnancy. I am pretty much concerned about using Neomycin 0.5 % and Clobetasol 0.05 % ointment during the first month of our pregnancy. We had itching and burning sensation. We used approximately 4 g of ointment in total. She applied some ointment over her inguinal area and me over head of penis and we also had intercourse after that. This happened two times. Would this have caused vaginal absorption of Neomycin and damaged the fetus? Or as it was the month of conception would it have damaged the sperms, egg or the fertilized egg? I read some articles where topical Neomycin has caused ototoxicity, nephrotoxicity and reduced spermatogenesis in males. Should I have terminated the pregnancy earlier? Should I monitor the baby after birth for these toxicities? We did three scans so far dating scan, NT scan and anomaly scan which are normal.

Hello. There are possibilities of absorption per vaginally and I agree there are reports of ototoxicity and nephrotoxicity but as she is six months pregnant now and all scans are normal so there are no morphological anomalies in the child but as far as ear hearing abnormalities are concerned, that cannot be detected by scans. Also, as on date after 20 weeks of gestation, pregnancy cannot be terminated by law unless gross abnormalities are evident in the foetus and permission would have to be sought by high court only.

The outbreak of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 that first emerged in Wuhan in December 2019 has resulted in the devastating pandemic of coronavirus disease 2019, creating an emerging need for knowledge sharing. Meanwhile, myocardial infarction is and will probably remain the foremost cause of death in the Western world throughout the coming decades. Severe deregulation of the immune system can unnecessarily expand the inflammatory response and participate in target and multiple organ failure, in infection but also in critical illness. Indeed, the course and fate of inflammatory cells observed in severe ST-elevation myocardial infarction (neutrophilia, monocytosis, and lymphopenia) almost perfectly mirror those recently reported in severe coronavirus disease 2019. A pleiotropic proinflammatory imbalance hampers adaptive immunity in favor of uncontrolled innate immunity and is associated with poorer structural and clinical outcomes. The goal of the present review is to gain greater insight into the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying this canonical activation and downregulation of the two arms of the immune response in both entities, to better understand their pathophysiology and to open the door to innovative therapeutic options. Knowledge sharing can pave the way for therapies with the potential to significantly reduce mortality in both infectious and noninfectious scenarios.

How to treat the weakness caused by vitamin d deficiency?

2 weeks ago I had a vice fall on my shin and it cut it a little and my ankle is still swollen. The cut area is red and there are tiny red dots around the area. This area itches. I do not think anything is broken or fractured since I can walk and there is only slight pain esp. if you touch it. I am concerned about the cut area though with the redness.

Hi. This sounds like an infection with cellulitis where you had the cut. It is important to have this treated with antibiotics to prevent spreading of the infection to overlying skin and bone.Fluid from the swelling in the injured area gravitates down and that will cause ankle swelling. Please go to ER for proper management.

Absence seizures Does any damage occurre from these spells. Mental or physical

Absence seizure: An absence seizure is the term for a type of seizure involving staring spells. This type of seizure is a brief (usually less than 15 seconds) disturbance of brain function due to abnormal electrical activity in the brain. Absence seizures occur most often in people under age 20, usually in children ages 6 to 12. In some cases, the seizures are triggered by flashing lights or when the person breathes faster and more deeply than usual (hyperventilates). They may occur with other types of seizures, such as generalized tonic-clonic seizures (grand mal seizures), twitches or jerks (myoclonus), or sudden loss of muscle strength (atonic seizures). Most absence seizures last only a few seconds. They often involve staring episodes. The episodes may: - Occur many times a day - Occur for weeks to months before being noticed - Interfere with school and learning - Be mistaken for lack of attention, daydreaming or other misbehavior Unexplained difficulties in school and learning difficulties may be the first sign of absence seizures. During the seizure, the person may: - Stop walking and start again a few seconds later - Stop talking in mid-sentence and start again a few seconds later The person usually does not fall during the seizure. Right after the seizure, the person is usually: - Wide awake - Thinking clearly - Unaware of the seizure Specific symptoms of typical absence seizures may include: - Changes in muscle activity, such as no movement, hand fumbling, fluttering eyelids, lip smacking, chewing - Changes in alertness (consciousness), such as staring episodes, lack of awareness of surroundings, sudden halt in movement, talking, and other awake activities Some absence seizures begin slower and last longer. These are called atypical absence seizures. Symptoms are similar to regular absence seizures, but muscle activity changes may be more noticeable. The doctor will perform a physical exam. This will include a detailed look at the brain and nervous system. An EEG (electroencephalogram) will be done to check the electrical activity in the brain. People with seizures often have abnormal electrical activity seen on this test. In some cases, the test shows the area in the brain where the seizures start. The brain may appear normal after a seizure or between seizures. Blood tests may also be ordered to check for other health problems that may be causing the seizures. Head CT or MRI scan may be done to find the cause and location of the problem in the brain. Treatment for absence seizures includes medicines, changes in lifestyle for adults and children, such as activity and diet, and sometimes surgery. Your doctor can tell you more about these options.

Hello,Welcome to HCMThanks for posting your query in HCM. I understand your concerns.Urinary tract infections (UTI) is common in girl baby and eight percent of girls have a UTI in childhood.Girls tend to have more infections because the urethra of a girl is shorter. Also, the opening of the urethra is closer to the anus (opening of the bowel). This makes it easier for germs from the poo to get up into the urethra and bladder.If your baby or child has urinary reflux they are at risk of UTIs.Signs of a UTI in babies:fever (with no obvious cause such as a rash or cough)irritabilitypoor feedingvomitingpoor weight gain.Have a eye on these signs and symptoms.Thank you

Please suggest me what kind of treatment I should adapt and since one month I am consuming tab sazo 1gm no improvement

Hello. You have what appears as degenerative disease of the spine along with Vitamin D deficiency. Low Vitamin D levels can aggravate the para-spinal muscle spasm and fatigue which will worsen your back pain even more. So take a course of Calcirol granules, 60,000 units once every week for 6 weeks followed by once every month for 6 months. At the end of 6 months, check your levels again. The treatment of degenerative disease of spine is mainly with physiotherapy, trigger point releases of the back muscles which can occur in patients with low vitamin D and local application of analgesic ointment. Try to sit with the back straight while sitting.
