The conversation between human and AI assistant. [|Human|] painless lump on gumhi i have a crown on my front tooth and have noticed a small painless lump on the gum above.i had absess in my root months ago as i had pain and swelling,but took antibiotics which got rid...could this be to do with that?kate [|AI|] Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query. The abscess could be a recurrent infection from the same tooth. Consult an oral physician and get a radiograph done to rule out infection. Get the tooth root canal treated (if previously not root canal treated) and repeat the crown. Take a course of antibiotics like penicillin and metronidazole combination(if you are not allergic). I hope my answer will help you. Take care.

The conversation between human and AI assistant. [|Human|] hi, mt 2 year old daughter has had a few red small pimple looking dots on her body for about a week now. We actually thought they might have been a mild case of chicked pox since now they are dried up. except now, the 3 that are on her arms have a red ring around them. i have no idea what the rings are... [|AI|] Hi, Chicken pox usually has preceding systemic symptoms like fever, and causes multiple fluid filled vesicles starting around head and neck area and then spreads further to include other areas. Even when vesicles are few, they are usually not grouped together, but far apart. A closely placed group of pimples with red ring around is more likely to be a skin infection like boils/impetigo. Just try applying local antibiotics like mupirocin for 3-5 days to see the response. If it is not getting better by then, or fever appears, kindly see your pediatrician, as this may need antibiotic treatment. Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

The conversation between human and AI assistant. [|Human|] Hello earlier today I had sudden intense pain across my lower back, it was that bad i fell to my knees, since then i can not sit up straight, or walk properly (im using crutchs) Iwhen trying to walk i cant stand straight the pain in my lower back is too bad, Ive been experiencing pins and needles in my feet and numbness with the odd pins and needles in the centre of my lower back, what could this be? is it a slipped disc? should I go to A&E~? [|AI|] Hello and Welcome to Chat Doctor, Thanks for writing to us. These symptoms are part of lumbar disc degeneration with PIED where the nerves get compressed by the protruded disc. There are several treatment modalities with medicines, physiotherapy and with injections in the back called epidural injections and root/facet blocks. If you don't get better with this treatment, another option is surgery, by which the nerves are decompressed by removing the protruded disc (discectomy), which would significantly improve your symptoms Hope this helps you. Wishing you good health... Regards. Chat Doctor. Orthopedic Surgeon.

The conversation between human and AI assistant. [|Human|] Yes. My doctor of 22 yrs. recently retired and sadly died shortly thereafter. I could always count on him for any question that might concern me. The dr. I have now only sees me once every 4 months. I have asked his medical assistant who receives his calls from his patient s. I was told, as of my last blood work, that I have become very anemic. This happened once before a few years ago, but with a small change in diet and a medicine, the name of which escapes me at the moment, and in a short time I was no longer anemic. Can you suggest what I can do to get rid of this anemia? I m 66 and will be 67 in 3 mo s. My health is fairly good, so what would one of you suggest I do? [|AI|] Hi, Thanks for asking. Based on your clinical history and query, my opinion is as follows:1. You have to be regular on iron, vitamin B12 and folic acid supplements.2. Improve on your nutrition by taking heme rich foods like cereals, pulses and meat. Also have citrus fruits as it increases absorption of whatever iron is available.3. Avoid excess intake of tea as it inhibits iron absorption.4. You can keep a check on Hemoglobin say once in a month, also get a reticulocyte count done to know the improving status of hemoglobin. Hope it helps. Any further queries, happy to help again.

The conversation between human and AI assistant. [|Human|] I had science and math test today. Right before math test, I started getting quite a bit of pressure in my chest for like almost two hours. It hurt to even twist my body. Didn t really effect my breathing or anything and I have no prior history of chest pressure (I used to have pretty bad asthma but it s gone I think). It went away at lunch after eating some food and now I m at home and the place where my heart is has been ***tickling***!! I mostly just want to know the chances it could be something serious. If there s above a 50% chance that I am going to die, I ll probably tell someone. [|AI|] Hi Thanks for your query. I think you had asthma in the past which has gone away but just before your exam as you are in tension, your anxiety has provoked it a bit but I am not sure of it whether it was an asthma episode or else. For it, you need to undergo some investigations - 1. Spirometry and bronchodilator reversibility2. ECG3. Chest X-ray suggest you to consult a pulmonologist and get yourself examined. Because asthma is diagnosed mainly clinically and confirmed by spirometry finding. I think you got my point. Thank you.

The conversation between human and AI assistant. [|Human|] My husband has just found out he may have one kidney he s 49 years old and thought he had two, he also has arthritis since he was 17 years old is there conditions that could cause him to have one kidney later in life or is there just birth defects that creates him to only have one kidney [|AI|] Hi, The chance of congenital absence of one kidney is more. So the problem might be since birth. Infection of kidney like chronic infection can lead damage to kidney and loss of its portion, but total absence of one kidney could not be due to that. The surgical removal or congenital absence seems most likely. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Chat Doctor.

[|AI|] Hi, just saw your question on genus arum, or in simple terms your sons knees are closer than they should be, and the legs are curved or bowed . Sure your child will be able to walk, at 18 months he will be already toddling around.I suggest that you and your baby have an X-ray of the knees done before he is 2 years of age to see if the upper part of the shin-bone is projecting inwards.causing the bowing. If it is so then see an orthopedic surgeon. This is called Blunts disease and will need some corrective appliances.

Is this a common problem for losing #8? [|AI|] Hi. Welcome to Chat Doctor . I have gone through your query and can understand your concern... As per your complaint as the extraction was a difficult one and might be traumatic also due to fused roots to bone, and it is only one week passed so the pain and swelling and difficulty in speech and wearing flippers is not an abnormal finding, and you should not get panic as gradually in a week or ten days the heals will take place to a considerable amount and the pain and swelling will subside. Whatever you are experiencing is not an abnormal finding, and you will get well soon. The other thing is that it will not take months, and you do not have to wait for crown placement over the implant to regain proper speech and functions, and you will be soon be alright.

[|Human|] My son who is 30 has extremely swollen gums for several days and now he says that he has difficulty swallowing due to throat pain and his glands are also now swollen. He has an appointment tomorrow at 4:00. How serious is this condition? Would strep throat start this way [|AI|] Hi. Thanks for the query. As per your complaint swollen gums and now having sore throat and swollen glands both seems to be due to different conditions and not one cause. Swollen gums can be due to most common cause that is gum infection and accumulation of excess of plaque and tartar on teeth and in the gum pockets leading to infection and swollen gums leading to Gingivitis. Other causes can be side effect of medication, if he takes any. You should therefore consult an Oral Physician or a Periodontist and get evaluated and a thorough scaling and curettage followed by a course of antibiotics like Metronidazole and anti-inflammatory painkillers like Ibuprofen can help. As far as sore throat and swollen glands is concerned, it can be due to bacterial or viral throat infection and for this you need to consult a Physician and get him evaluated, and a throat swab culture can be diagnostic. A course of antibiotics like Augmenting or Azithromycin, anti-inflammatory painkillers like Ibuprofen and warm saline gargles can help in improvement. Hope this helps. Regards.

The conversation between human and AI assistant. [|Human|] I woke up two days ago with a pain like cramp sensation in my upper abdomen. I am going on day three. My stomach region is tender and hurts to touch. It hurts when I move, lie, walk, breath. I keep thinking it will go away. It feels like a cramp from exercising that will not go away. what do you think? [|AI|] Hi. Thanks for your query. History noted of the pain in upper abdomen on waking up in the morning; like a cramp. Tenderness present - hurts on moving and any movements, and thought to be due to exercising. This may be due to Peritonitis, meaning inflammation of the internal structures of the abdomen and can be due to inflammation of any internal organ like appendicitis, or so... I would advise you the following:Keep yourself nil orally. Get admitted to the hospital. You need to be examined by a General Surgeon for evaluation. Investigations of blood, urine and most importantly Standing X-ray of the abdomen, ultrasonography and so. If there is an internal problem, you may need an urgent surgery. If this is just due to exercise you will be sent home with proper anti=inflammatory medicines.

The conversation between human and AI assistant. [|Human|] hi i had a little bump above my upper left tooth. I always thought that it was my wisdom tooth. However, I had a root canal done in may on that tooth and 1 week later my bump started to hurt and grow to the point that my cheek looked like I had a tennis ball hidden there. The x-ray did not show any infection so my dentist prescribed me antibiotics and steroids. That helped but now 6 months later I am noticing my bump to start slowly growing again. Is it swollen lymph, cyst, salivary gland - should I see ENT specialist or go to Enthodontist? The tooth itself does not really hurt. [|AI|] Thanks for your query, first you consult your oral physician to rule out any infection in the tooth adjacent to the root canal treated tooth or in the same tooth.take radiographs and confirm it. It looks like cellulitis secondary to tooth infection...the other possibility could be infection in the salivary gland duct due to stone in the duct...take a course of antibiotics, do saline gargling. I hope my answer will help you.take care.

The conversation between human and AI assistant. [|Human|] I am a healthy 73 year old woman. For several wks I have been having sharp but not severe chest pains in the center of my chest of and on often throughout the day. I thought it could be posture related at the computer or reading etc. but I m wondering. I have stairs at home and seem to not notice problem climbing. I do maybe feel a little light headed. Could this be angina related? [|AI|] Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. In my opinion you should consult cardiologist and rule out cardiac cause first. In old age (73 years) central chest pain can be due to Cardiac problem. So get done 1. ECG2. 2d echo 3. Stress test rule out cardiac cause. If all are normal than no need to worry about cardiac cause. You may have HERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease) mostly. It is commonly seen in old age due to laxity of gastroesophageal sphincter. Because of these the acid of the stomach tends to come up and cause the symptoms like central chest pain. So try to follow these steps for better symptomatic relief.1. Avoid hot and spicy food. Avoid stress and anxiety. Avoid large meals, instead take frequent small meals.2. Take good proton pump inhibitor.3. Go for walk after meals. Keep 2-3 pillows under head in bed.

The conversation between human and AI assistant. [|Human|] I have been diagnosed with right atrial thrombosis and am on anticoagulants andaspirin. Recently blood tests revealed total cholestrol at 467 and ldl at 197needing second opinion and further treatment.pl.respond at YYYY@YYYY or 0000 [|AI|] Hi, Thanks for asking. Based on your query, my opinion is as follows.1. Anticoagulants are effective for all types of thrombus. Both arterial, venous and even atrial thrombus.2. The INR range should be maintained between 2-3 at all times, then only anticoagulants will be effective against thrombus.3. The cholesterol level is too high and needs to be brought down at the earliest. Risk of atherosclerosis and infarction present. You need to be started on statins and vibrates. Non-pharmacological therapy includes weight loss, low fat diet, fiber rich diet along with moderate exercises. LDL apheresis can also be done, if it continues to be high. Hope it helps. Any further queries, happy to help again.

The conversation between human and AI assistant. [|Human|] Hello doctor, I had a car crash almost two years ago, and had broken ribs where the airbag hit me. I noticed only now that I have a lump on the side of a rib below my breast. The area of the lump seems to be consistent with that of the airbag hitting me. The lump feels like rolling under my fingers. Is it dangerous? What should I do. I live very far from doctors. Thank you for your help. [|AI|] Hello, Thanks for using Chat Doctor. I have gone through your query and I can understand your concerns. Probable diagnosis : HematomaDifferential diagnosis : Serbia/lipomata of treatment : Conservative/Needle aspirationInvestigations : Basic blood investigations, FNAC (rarely)Outcome : Excellently the symptoms you have mentioned suggest the possibility of a hematoma. It is nothing but a collection of blood under the site of injury. There is nothing to worry in it because it is a highly curable condition and chances of complications are very less. If there is any diagnostic confusion, you have to do a procedure called FNAC(Fine Needle Aspiration cytology), in which a needle is introduced in to the swelling a portion of it taken out and studied under microscope to confirm the diagnosis. I suggest you to consult a general surgeon and get the proper evaluation and treatment done. He will either aspirate the fluid/blood in case of hematoma and if it is a lipoma treatment is by surgical excision. Hope this information helps. Regards. Chat Doctor.

The conversation between human and AI assistant. [|Human|] Hello, our 10 year old son had an IGA test completed. His results on his Kaiser lab results show 0.14 and it indicates that the standard is Can you help me interpret this because I read on your site that a low IGa can be a risk for developing some sort of autoimmune disease. His Grandmother was dx d with Rheumatoid Arthritis at age 20. And, I am concerned about his possibility of Celiac disease. [|AI|] Hi, Thanks for asking. Based on your clinical history and query, my opinion is as follows:1. When there is complete absence of IGA, and it cannot be detected, it is called as IGA deficiency.2. Malnutrition is one of the commonest cause of IGA deficiency. 3. Rheumatoid arthritis can be genetically inherited. However, there are other factors also. If you had rheumatoid arthritis, there is a risk for your son.4. Celiac disease cannot be diagnosed based just on IGA levels. Specific antibody evaluation and Biopsy confirmation is necessary. Abdominal symptoms also need to be present. Hope it helps. Any further queries, happy to help again.

He feels cold but says he is burning up painn in ghroin has been on and off for a couple of days we have bronchitis and are getting over the flu [|AI|] Hi.

Flu itself can cause this, or it gives reduced body resistance cause further pains and infections. Consult a Doctor to get him examined and undergo tests if the Doctor feels are necessary.

The conversation between human and AI assistant. [|Human|] I have had a sinus blockage for years. I do not suspect swollen sinuses or sinusitis because when I lay down the drainage runs to the downward sinus leaving the anterior sinus free and clear. When I turn over, the same thing happens on the other side showing that the upward sinus is unobstructed. Lately my salivary glands have become swollen as well. I visited an ENT and was sen to get an MRI which was not dispositive and turned out to be expensive and useless. At that point the ENT wanted to surgically remove all salivary glands without even having diagnosed the problem or taking a needle biopsy. This seemed strange to me and unwarranted absent any confirmation. Are the two conditions related and what should I do? [|AI|] Hi, welcome to Chat Doctor forum, well as you know that you are suffering from sinusitis and surgery is not the right choice, so I will now advise you to start homeopathic treatment for your sinus problem, you will find complete cure for this problem in Homeopathy without any side effects. You can show to your local Homeopathic physician, or you can mail us at info Chat Doctor. Com or visit us at WWW.

On top of my lip (outside) there s a little tiny bump you can barely see it,but its black filled. Also there is a little red bump inside my lip with a hole in the middle . Should I be worried ? [|AI|] Hi, Thanks for asking the query, There are many reasons by which you develop bumps on your tongue, Due to accidental trauma and biting on the tongue. Excessive smoking can irritate the tongue. Canker sores , authors ulcers. Enlarged papillae if it becomes inflamed and irritated. Medical conditions like diabetes , anemia. I would suggest you to visit to the Dentist and get checkup done. Brush your tongue softly with a tongue scraper or soft bristle toothbrush. Chat Doctor. Use antiseptic mouthwash gargles twice daily. Take vitamin supplements. Hope this helps out. Regards....

The conversation between human and AI assistant. [|Human|] In September my husband was diagnosed with Lyme Disease, which we have learned causes respiratory problems, among other things. Beforehand he was diagnosed with COPD & Emphysema, he is prescribed Symbicort & Spiriva for these conditions. We are located in WV and at this time are having extremely cold temps. and he is having severe trouble breathing is there anything you can suggest we do at home to help his breathing in addition to the medications he is already taking? I understand the emergency room is available for emergency services but at this time driving conditions are very hazardous, if you have any suggestions short of a trip out to the emergency room, they would be so very greatly appreciated. Thank you so much! [|AI|] **1. One possible symptom of Lyme disease is air hunger or so-called shortness of breath [SOB], and is due to Babesiosis [which is one of the Lyme coinfections]2. In best position I would suggest you to see a LLMD [Lyme-literate M. D] since most general doctors/physician don't know that much about Lyme and how to treat it properly and taking antibiotics in such condition will only worse the symptoms, called as herx.PS. The presence of antibodies in the blood is not sufficient reason for continued or pretreatment with antibiotics & currently, there is no available vaccine in the market for Lyme disease.3. Emphysema/COPD is progressive and worsens every year, one has to live with it, stressing on deep breathing exercises, avoiding exertion and low dose steroids for severe cases is key to management. If breathing difficulty gets severe, seek help from ED [emergency department]PS. Acute exacerbations are usually due to infection and are related to change in weather.

The conversation between human and AI assistant. [|Human|] I m desperate to find a specialist in the Pittsburgh, PA or surroundings, who specializes in treating black mold illnesses. My daughter is very ill due to spending 1 year in an apartment where the landlord refused to do anything about it. Some of her illnesses include: severe muscle pain, loss of hair, impaired vision (getting worse), breathing problems especially at night, 14 or 15 yeast infection in one year, some bleeding from her rectum, blurred vision, extreme fatigue etc..... I need help and advice. Please help me to help her. Who can we contact. We have exhausted every possibility that we know. [|AI|] You should meet certain specialist and take their opinion on the same issue. A few I can mention. Meet a dermatologist, a pulmonologist, a cardiologist, a general physician, a physical medicine rehab specialist. Lastly after these people have a proper communication within their own parameters your child will be helped better. Do talk about the fatigue issue. As a physical therapist might help with simple exercise to balance the fatigue issue.

The conversation between human and AI assistant. [|Human|] Hi, my niece has stopped developing and has actually began to regress. She has been admitted to hospital where they suspect brain shrinkage. Please help us understand what this means, it is happening quickly and we have been told today that she is virtually blind and the damage is beyond repair. [|AI|] Hi, Thank you for posting your query. I have noted your nieces symptoms. Based on the description, she seems to be suffering from a degenerative disease of the brain. If possible, please upload an MRI scan of the brain. This would help in getting to know the diagnosis. Generally, a degenerative disease can not be cured. However, with physiotherapy and certain medications such as coenzyme Q, some improvement is possible. I hope my answer helps.

The conversation between human and AI assistant. [|Human|] Hello Doctor, My tailbone has been killing me for the past few months. The pain is a heavy - pressure kind of pain. My MD had X-rays taken, this showed nothing. I saw him the other day and told him I still have this pain. He said he is not sure what else he can do for me other than use a donut when sitting. I sit at home on a nice soft leather recliner, my tailbone still kills me. I end up leaning on my side when I sit, but when I get up, the pressure/pain is terrible. I notice the pain/pressure even when I walk. Hurts when I sleep, especially turning over. I do want to mention that I had a colon resection back in 2005. I had a tumor in my rectum. The surgeon could feel my tumor, that is how low it was. I am worried I may have another tumor. PLease give me some advise what I need to do. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME! [|AI|] Hello! I read your question and understand your concern. In my opinion the pain you have may be related to a sacral bone problem. I would like to know if you have fever or problems with the stools. These problems may be caused by a tumor infiltration the sacral and cochineal bones, by an infection of this region like an abscess or osteomyelitis, or by irritated nerves of the region from radiotherapy. Your past medical history is very concerning. You didn't mention radio or chemotherapy. So I would recommend a good physical by your GP, a full blood work for infection and a CT scan or MRI of the pelvic region to exclude these causes. Hope to have been helpful! Best wishes

The conversation between human and AI assistant. [|Human|] I am a female.I am 17 years old.Since more than a year back,when i used to see a countrys name(e.g-in a newspaper,a billboard or hear it from a person),i felt like it brought some sort of message for me.At first it seemed like i had some sort of telepathic power n i was happy..but gradually it got too frequent.I started asking illogical questions...n found answers from those names on TV or newspaper or back of some car..One day i was surfing the net n i got to know these are some symptoms of delusional disorder.now i am pretty confused.What should i do? [|AI|] Hi, I went through your query and can understand what you must be going through with such symptoms. You are right in mentioning that the experiences that you have mentioned are suggestive of delusion. It is termed as delusion of reference where one feels that others are tying to refer to him/her through various means. I would suggest that you should seek a psychiatric consultation for complete evaluation. Self diagnosis is often wrong, and a detailed interview will help the psychiatrist determine what you are suffering from and initiate treatment accordingly. I do hope that I was able to answer your query. Best wishes.

The conversation between human and AI assistant. [|Human|] Hi I m a 20 yr old college lacrosse player. Slipped in game while cutting and had instant hip pain. I have been PTing for 10 days. Today went live and when I went to cut to the left experienced sharp pain again. Forward movement and to the right is fine. No pain at rest or during PT. Only feel pain when pushin off on left side [|AI|] Hi, The location and movement of a pain give clues as to what is going on. Localized pain is a localized irritation of the structures. It could be a bruise/tear or more serious injury to the edge of the cartilage and would require a lot of rest. Or an inflamed tendon which would also require a lot of rest but is close to guaranteed to improve. My dancing instructor has the latter but due to other issues his is extremely fragile, and he has PT to support the area, increase flexibility, and is on borrowed time. MRIs would show the problem. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Another way of diverting your mind is to learn meditation .hope you are convinced. Regards

The symptoms that you are describing are classic for upper respiratory tract infection. Upper respiratory tract infections can become chronic and cause all the symptoms that you are describing. It could be sinusitis, enlarged glands in the neck or both. It is necessary to seek medical care for these problems as they can adversely affect your quality of life.

The conversation between human and AI assistant. [|Human|] Im 26 weeks pregnant and was in a car accident yesterday. I went to the er and they said everything was fine. I went to sleep and around 2am I woke up and vomitted. Now I cant stop throwing up, I cant even hold bread or water down. My stomach is sore from constantly vomiting. What do I do to make this stop? Im miserable. [|AI|] Hallow Dear, This vomiting does not seem to be related to pregnancy; it seems to be related to accident. Did you have any injury to your head? In that case you need to undergo MRI (X-ray of the skull would not be advisable during pregnancy). Sometimes, in certain injuries, delayed bleeding is noted inside the skull giving rise to uncontrollable vomiting. In such case, you would find rigidity in the neck and inequality in the pupils. Please report to ER or neurosurgeon again and explain about continuous uncontrollable vomiting. If you have any severe pain anywhere after the accident, that also can give rise to vomiting. Please do not ignore the matter and report to neurosurgeon ASAP.

The conversation between human and AI assistant. [|Human|] I am 6 weeks 5 days pregnant I had USG today which said that every thing is ok and its showing single living intrauterin fetus is seen , associate with a tiney subserous fibroid is seen in anterior wall of body of uterus . Then also doc suggested Susten VT 200 (once a day for 4 weeks). My question is that is fibroid? and is there any problem?? [|AI|] Hello, You are carrying 6wk plus pregnancy with subserous fibroid. It is one type of fibroid and more common. It is not harmful to baby. If size is small, then need not be much worried. Follow advice of your doctor and check up as per schedule. Alarming sign is unusual heavy bleeding during delivery if fibroid size is large. So be careful about that. Take healthy diet, proper rest and avoid heavy work. Be well.

The conversation between human and AI assistant. [|Human|] Hi... Ive got toothache and Ive tried using clove oil, mouthwash, and garlic but nothing helped me ease the pain... I still hve 10 hours more before my appointment to the dentist. Any idea what to do? Last thing I took was rapidus. (Took it right before I type his message) please help [|AI|] Greetings from Chat Doctor members, I can understand your concern regarding toothache. Most of the time toothache occur from inflammation of pulp tissue called "pulpits" (which is central part of tooth containing blood vessels and nerves). This is primarily caused by tooth decay, trauma and infection. There could be other reasons of pain as well which include gum disease, cracked teeth, poorly placed fillings or crowns, failing or leaking restorations etc. So, proper treatment has to be undertaken after detailed clinical and radiographic examination of the affected tooth or teeth. For temporary relief, over-the-counter pain medications such as acetaminophen (Tylenol), ibuprofen (Advil) or Diclofenac potassium (Rapids) may be used. Also, avoid hot or cold foods and chewing from the affected side because this may make the pain worse. Hope this answer is helpful. If you have any further followup questions, please do not hesitate to ask.

The conversation between human and AI assistant. [|Human|] Ive been having a sharp pain radiating from from my tooth up to my ear when I drink anything that is cold.I looked at my tooth and I noticed that I have what looks like a white vein on my back wisdom tooth. Is there anything that I could do for the pain> [|AI|] Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query. If it is sensitivity then there can be an abraded tooth or decay in the tooth. If it is pain it could be because of the tooth infection or gum infection surrounding the wisdom tooth. The kind of pain what you are telling will be seen in case of impacted tooth. Consult your oral physician and get the radiograph done for that tooth and rule out the above said condition. You can take a course of antibiotics like penicillin and analgesics like diclofenac if you are not allergic. According treat by extracting the tooth or by restoring the tooth. I hope my answer will help you. Take care.

The conversation between human and AI assistant. [|Human|] I am 24 yrs old.Previous 2 days i am suffering with the feelings of bomiting but nothing is coming out and also fall in fever but it has recovered just one medicine.Then today i visit nearest physician and after blood test the report is as follows.... BILIRUBIN TOTAL: 1.0 mg/dl BILIRUBIN DIRECT: 0.34 mg/dl.The doctor has suggested me that its an initial stage of Jaundice .Is it true? [|AI|] Hi pal, Welcome to Chat Doctor ! Your liver function test does support the diagnosis of jaundice, although you have not told the GOT/SGPT Report-if they are also normal then probably you don't have hepatitis also. But if is the liver enzymes are raised then your doctor is right that is the initial phase of jaundice. Your fever and jaundice(if it is there really) are symptoms of the disease and not the disease itself. You may be having hepatotropic viral infection, malaria, cholangitis, enteric fever as a cause behind the syn Chat Doctor. You need a physical examination by your physician and get baseline investigations like Chest X-Ray, Electrocardiogram, Complete Blood Counts, Renal Function Test, Repeat Liver Function Test, Ultrasound Abdomen, Urine Compete Examination. This work up is expected to detect the underlying problem, so a definite treatment could be started. I hope this advice would be helpful for you. Still if you have any queries or doubts, please write me back, I would be happy to solve them. Wish you a great health!

The conversation between human and AI assistant. [|Human|] My daughter, about to be 10 years now, is down with fever for last 3 days, 100 - 101 degrees ,giving crocin syrup 12ml thrice daily, today complaining for head ache and cough/cold symtome, what medicine to give. we are in delhi where the outside weather is cold today [|AI|] Child Chat Doctor. Cronin contains paracetamol and needs to be given to control the temperature. It should also help in relieving the headache. If headache is not relieved, you may safely double the dose. Paracetamol acts as an analgesic in double the dose of that required to bring down temperature. It is a safe medicine, and you need not worry. Do not do this round the clock, rather it should be as and when required. You may also give some antiallergic like levocetirizine 1 tablet once daily for 3-4 days. Steam inhalation should be helpful. Antibiotics are not effective in viral infections and need not be given. Get the blood checked for malaria, in case you are residing in a malaria prone region.

You should consult an oral surgeon to get checked it there is any Chat Doctor. Also, you should get an x-ray done to check if the tooth that is pulled has removed completely or is it still having some portion left in the extraction socket that is causing pain. For now, you should take soft meals, do warm saline gargles and take painkillers as and when necessary. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

The conversation between human and AI assistant. [|Human|] Hi, I am a 40 yr old woman, am getting fever almost everyday for the past 5 weeks or so. Got blood test and found iron deficiency. Doctor has put me on iron and B12 injections. I already have two doses. But still fever persists. its not high, just 37.2-37.4. in past 5 weeks only 344 times, it went upto 37.8. I feel very weak in enrgy and legs. dont feel like doing any house work . joined a new job 5 weeks before only and since then its like this. Cant take time off as new job. please help me.Thanks [|AI|] Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You have iron deficiency anemia. You should take treatment with iron as prescribed by your doctor. But iron deficiency has no relation with fever. Your fever may be due to some viral infection or other cause like malaria & typhoid.

The conversation between human and AI assistant. [|Human|] My 5 year old daughter is running a 106.9 temp. We just found out that she has a thyroid problem is waiting to be seen by a specialist next week. I have given her motrin, cool bath, liquids no clothing and cant seem to get her temp below 104. I took her to Urgent Care earlier in the day and they just advised me to keep doing what Im doing but her fever at that point was only 103.8. Do I need to take her to an ER? [|AI|] Hi.... looks like viral illness. Please do not panic. What you are doing is perfect. To make you more comfortable, I will explain to you how a viral illness behaves. Fever of few days without any localizing signs could as well a viral illness. Usually rather than fever, what is more important is the activity of the child, in between 2 fever episodes on the same day. If the kid is active and playing around when there is no fever, it is probably viral illness and it doesn't require antibiotics at all. Once viral fever comes it will there for 4-7 days. So do not worry about duration if the kid is active. Paracetamol can be given in the dose of 15 mg/kg/dose (maximum ceiling dose of 500 mg) every 4-6th hourly that too only if fever is more than 100F. I suggest not using combination medicines for fever, especially with Paracetamol. Regards -

The conversation between human and AI assistant. [|Human|] I fell down my wooden steps hit my forearm and my lower back. what should i expect? My back is extremely sore. It hurts to just barely touch it. When I touch it slightly my eyes start to tear up. I also hit my forearm. My forearm is bruised and is very tender. My back is very tender but no mark of any sort. [|AI|] Hello, As history is not mentioning any disc injury in the lumbar spine this will be a muscle spasm. But for a safety side an x-ray for the elbow and the lower back is advised. If fracture is found than a complete bed rest is advised. If the elbow is fractured than immobilizing it in the case is good. If the x-ray turns normal than it's a bony hurt and muscle spasm. Do stabilize the part and take proper bed rest. Using hot water fermentation will help reduce the inflammation. Have painkillers if the pain is unbearable. Once the pain levels Chat Doctor.

The conversation between human and AI assistant. [|Human|] My 9yr old son was experiencing slight chest pains while in class. We brought him to the emergency room and the Dr. asked about a heart murmur. He sees his pediatrician regularly and has never said anything about a murmur. We are trying to get an appointment with a Cardiologist right now to see what is going on. Should he be experiencing chest pains? The ER DR. didn t seem very concerned about it, but should we be? [|AI|] Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your situation and problem. In my opinion, it seems nothing serious for your sons' chest pain. But better to rule out congenital heart disease as a cause for his chest pain. So consult pediatric cardiologist and get done1. ECG2. 2d photo rule out congenital heart disease. If both of the above tests are normal then no need to worry much for cardiac cause. Do don't worry much for his chest pain. But better to rule out cardiac cause.

[|AI|] Hi, Thank you for posting your query. Most likely, it could be benign positional paroxysmal vertigo (BPPV). In this condition, you would have dizziness, and imbalance, which gets precipitated with sudden head and neck movements. Symptoms are transient and would stop on its own in a few seconds to minutes. Treatment includes use of medications such as betahistine tablets, the usual dose being 16 mg three times daily (please check with your doctor before taking it). In addition, vestibular adaptation exercises are also helpful. Normal MRI and CT scans exclude any serious internal brain injury. I hope it helps. Please get back if you require any additional information. Wishing you good health, Chat Doctor. Ly/

[|Human|] i have consistently taken my estelle pill for at least the last six months.. on tuesday night i think i accidently took the pill twice ( i think i was getting ready for bed, took one pill, then got distracted and then finished getting ready for bed and accidently took a second pill), so i did not take any pill on wednesday night, thursday night i forgot to take my pill, so i took it friday morning, i took my friday night pill, and then had un protected sex on saturday morning, i took my saturday night pill.. could i be pregnant ???? thanks [|AI|] Hi, Since you have managed to adjust the dosages, there should be no reason to worry. Yet, it would be better to use an extra means of contraception in this cycle as protection cannot be predicted due to the disturbance in the intake that happened. Wait for your period and test for pregnancy at least 3 days later if you miss it. If you wish for an earlier confirmation, you may take the blood test around the last week before your expected date. Please contact your doctor for further advice. Take care.

Prior to beginning chemo. she experienced severe pain in her feet, then lower legs and now knees. She is taking a low dose of Prednisone which the doctor was hesitant to give her due to side effects but she finds a slight relief from it.

She is suffering a great deal and her oncologist has prescribed Dilaudid which she takes at night but it does not address any real issue. Do you have any ideas which might offer her some relief? [|AI|] Hello, I will suggest you to increase the dose of diluted. If still problem persists she can be offered nerve block for lower limb.

The conversation between human and AI assistant. [|Human|] Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ? Please type your query here...I have just found a worm in the toilet after my 3 year old had passed urine only. it was about 3 to 4 inches in length and very thin not even a milimetre. it was black in colour. She hasn t shown any signs of troubles going to the toilet and with her tummy. Thanks [|AI|] Hi, It is quite unlikely for worms come out of urine. I guess your kid is a girl-in girls, worms coming out of anus can crawl in and around to reach vulval area, which is then flushed out while passing urine. This can happen in boys also, though more uncommon. It would be more helpful if you can send a picture of the worm. I suggest you to give albendazole tab 400 mg at night once(or 10ml of suspension) if not given in past 6 months. There is a type of worm infesting bladder, but usually we can't see them with naked eyes. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

I have sore breasts, bloated uncomftable stomache, missed period, and i can barely keep my eyes open by around 6 in the evening. help! [|AI|] Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor. The symptoms that you have portrayed definitely do point towards pregnancy. Single episode of miscarriage does carry a slightly higher chance of miscarriage in subsequent pregnancies, but this risk is negligible and usually ignored in practice. My opinion is that there is minimal risk to your baby. Visit your gynecologist to confirm that you are pregnant. I would like to have few more details like-the date of the first day of your last menstrual period and after how many months of pregnancy did you undergo the miscarriage 6 months back etc. to give you a more specific answer to your question regarding the risk to your current pregnancy. Hope I have answered you question to your satisfaction. Please do get back if you need any clarification of this answer or any more queries that you have.

The conversation between human and AI assistant. [|Human|] hello. recently I have been doing and hearing and even seeing strange things. sometimes confusing things for what they really are. Like thinking a dog is a demon or a tree for a husky. I hear voices telling me to do things and if i dont they will kill me. and ive been taping my foot and staring at objects constantly just waiting for them to move without me touching them [|AI|] Hi, thanks for the query. May I know what is your age, gender & whether you have recently started using any substance like cannabis (marijuana), amphetamine, opiates, cocaine etc. or have you recently suffered any accident with head injury or loss of consciousness? At present, based on information provided, there are few possibilities including excessive fears or anxiety about some events which is making you act in aforementioned manner. Is it the case? Have you been stressed out recently or are not able to sleep properly since last few days? Last possibility is that of suffering from a Psychotic episode where hallucinatory experiences are known to occur. Hence, I would first suggest you to talk about these experiences with a family member or a significant other followed by consultation with a Psychiatrist where based upon assessment & diagnosis medications &/or lifestyle changes can be prescribed to help you recover. Good Luck

The conversation between human and AI assistant. [|Human|] I have bloating , tenderness in the lower right quadrant. I went to the ER center, where I had blood and urine test done. I don t have a fever. The results show no infection and no sign of appendicitis . The doctors checked for hernia and failed to locate one. This has been going on for 2 months. I am 29 years old male. Thanks [|AI|] Hello and welcome, Thanks for your query. It is a good thing appendicitis and hernia were ruled out, but hopefully through both a physical examination and an ultrasound investigation. As you have not mentioned an ultrasound investigation, I would advise you to go through with one, it is not painful at all, and can greatly help in visualizing any source, that could be causing your tenderness. The bloating could also be due to an irregular diet and unhealthy eating habits. Are you experiencing other symptoms like vomiting, or meal related pains (i.e. pain increases after a meal, or is relieved by a meal)? Has your stool changed in color or consistency? I understand we can only provide limited help to you without being able to directly communicate with you, I hope I have helped in some way or the other. You can always write back to us for further clarifications, and with more information. In the meantime, you could get an ultrasound done. Wishing you good health and lots of luck. Best regards.

[|AI|] Hi, It may be halogen effluvium. Consult the dermatologist for the perfect diagnosis and proper treatment. There may be some cause of hair fall. After a thorough examination and investigations, your dermatologist might know the exact cause of your hair fall. Anemia, thyroid dysfunction, post enteric, nutritional deficiencies, vitamin deficiencies, stress, worries, heavy exercise, sleeplessness, starvation, any other internal diseases... etc. might lead to halogen effluvium. Tab. Biotin, vitamin E cap, tab. Zinc sulfate... etc. and other nutrients may be taken for a long time. Apply minoxidil solution. Use mild herbal shampoo. Avoid stress and worries. Treatment of underlying disease may be taken. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

The conversation between human and AI assistant. [|Human|] No question doctor,Marion is still in hospital .She has nearly cleared the Jaundice and seems to be coming along very slowly.She has a feed of vitamins and a suction to remove it afterwards as she had an ulcer .They are putting in a dye on Monday to see if she has any leakage internally .Then if all is well it is the recovery.She looks pretty well and is very alert and well looking but very tired [|AI|] Hello there, In Jaundice the body is overtly tired due to the liver being out of action. Easily tired, loss of appetite, inability to tolerate loud noises or bright lights are all symptoms. To recover from this1) Have plenty of fluids -at least 3 liters of water a day.2) Have foods rich in simple sugars-Juices, fruits.3) Avoid anything with oil or high protein as this would make her have cramps and vomit. 4) Carboy Chat Doctor. 5) Avoid anything processed like ready to eat food or takeout food. This will increase the stress on her liver and make her have cramps.6) Strictly avoid alcohol and use ain killers judiciously.7) Multivitamin can be taken Hope this helps, Thank you for your query,

[|AI|] Hi... Thank you for consulting in Chat Doctor. Fever of few days without any localizing signs could as well a viral illness. Usually rather than fever, what is more important is the activity of the child, in between 2 fever episodes on the same day. If the kid is active and playing around when there is no fever, it is probably viral illness and it doesn't require antibiotics at all. Once viral fever comes it will there for 4-7 days. So do not worry about duration if the kid is active. Paracetamol can be given in the dose of 15 mg/kg/dose (maximum ceiling dose of 500 mg) every 4-6th hourly that too only if fever is more than 100F. I suggest not using combination medicines for fever, especially with Paracetamol. Cough and cold are viral 95% of the times in child Chat Doctor. For cold, you can use anti-allergics like cetirizine and for nose block, saline nasal decongestants will do. Paracetamol can be given in the dose of 15 mg/kg/dose (max ceiling dose 500 mg) every 4-6th hourly, that too only if fever is more than 100F. I suggest not using combination medicines for fever, especially with Paracetamol. For cold, you can use Cetirizine at 0.25 mg/kg/dose every 12 hourly for 3 days. For nasal block, plain saline nasal

The conversation between human and AI assistant. [|Human|] My BP currently is around 160/100 even after taking Nebicard-5 and diurestic lasilactone, since last few days....my local doc who is simply an MBBS not a specialist.....has asked me to continue with the same medication adding one more diurestic. What should I do? Pl. Advise. [|AI|] Hello and thanks for writing. I can understand your concern and would try to help you in the best possible way. You have not mentioned which diuretic has been added by your doctor. Lasilactone is combination Chat Doctor. In your case a proper choice would be an ACE inhibitor or ARB or a calcium channel blocker. Before adding any other medication additional information regarding your medical history and previous investigations are required. I suggest you consult a physician who would take a complete medical history and do a medication review with you.

The conversation between human and AI assistant. [|Human|] I have fallen twice in the last month and injured the right side of my right knee. There is a good sized knot there now with some numbness and pain only if I try to kneel or twist. Otherwise I can walk fine again. Will it just heal by itself? I have no health insurance. [|AI|] Hi, You seem to have injured your knee ligaments on the right side with possibility of some injury to the meniscus which is a cartilage disc inside the knee. Avoid any strain on the knee like kneeling, carrying heavy weights, and climbing more than one flight of stairs. Walking on level ground is fine. There is a good chance that it will heal provided you take the above precautions.

The conversation between human and AI assistant. [|Human|] Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ? Please type your query here...Hi i have looking on the internet of the effcets a cannabis vaporizer would have on a person with copd and other respiratory problems, i have found out using a vaporizer can significantly lower symptoms but that is it, would you be able to shed any more light on this subject for me. Thankyou [|AI|] Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Cannabis is centrally acting (acts on brain) abusive substance. It causes depression of brain centers including respiratory center. Respiratory is main part who regulates breathing. So when someone takes Cannabis, his breathing becomes slow. This is therefore reason why COPD patients feel good after taking Cannabis. But this is life-threatening in long term use. Long term Cannabis intake can cause respiratory depression (no breathing) and ultimately death. It is also habit-forming agent. So better not to use Cannabis in COPD patients. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.

[|Human|] so ever since my boyfriend has left my house from a visit, (We are in college and on summer break see each other every two weeks) I have been very emotional just at night breaking down about everything self confidence stuff and all that. and I break down every night atleast once [|AI|] Hi, You seem to be under stress due to some reason involving you and your boyfriend which is resulting in your current symptoms. You need to overcome whatever has happened or is going in your mind. You can consider seeking a psychiatric consultation. Furthermore, you may find supportive therapy sessions helpful which will help you let out your emotions and de-stress yourself. Relaxation exercises like deep breathing and meditation would also help. If still the symptoms persist, consider treatment with anti-depressant medications like Escitalopram which will help you overcome your symptoms. I do hope that I was able to answer your query. Best wishes.
