The conversation between human and AI assistant. [\|Human\|] About once a year I get a reocurring abscess on the right/lower side of my groin. It always appears on what I think is a stretch mark type scar. Once drained, it disappears in about a week. What is a possible cause? 2006 (I was 23 yrs old) was the first time it appeared. [\|AI\|] Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You have recurrent abscess in groin area. It can be due to acute abscess forming infection or may be due to tuberculosis or some other cause. You have send scrapping material from abscess for histopathological examination well as culture and sensitivity testing. It will give you exact diagnosis. Then you should take treatment accordingly. Hope I have answered your question. If you have any doubts then feel free to ask me. I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Wish you a very good health.
The conversation between human and AI assistant. [\|Human\|] I slipped in the bath this morning from a standing position. Came clattering down on my back. I was very winded and had difficulty breathing initially. I now have a bad ache in my back over the lower rib cage. I have no numbness in legs or arms. Should I lie flat or move around to keep the muscles active. I am using an ice pack at the moment. I am 63 and weigh 9st.I have controlled high blood pressure 5mg enalaprol a day and mild asthma. [\|AI\|] Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor. After going through your query I think you are suffering from muscular pain due to injury. Treatment of it is rest and analgesics (diclofenac three times a day after meals). Sometimes strong analgesic(such as tramadol three times a day after meals) is required. Omeprazole before meals prevent acidity caused by analgesics. You should rest as far as possible as in this condition muscles need rest. It may take a week time to complete relief. However, you can get spine and chest x-ray done to exclude fracture. You can discuss with your treating Doctor about it. I think your query answered. Welcome to any follow-up query.
The conversation between human and AI assistant. [\|Human\|] I seem to have had a brain problem - I have not remembered what happened, all I know is that I find it very difficult to remember --- It seems that my mind has caused it extremely difficult for me to remember peoples names that I have known for a very long time. I know in my mind the people names, but I cannot say that person s name. Does that sound weird? [\|AI\|] Hi and thanks for question. Memory r two types: short term and long term short memory lasting from 10 sec to 10 days. Long term memory is lasting from 10 days to years. If you are doing repetition of something than it goes in long-term memory. But sometimes it will be difficult for us to find that thing in memory because it lost connection in mind, or we are not remembered the word which associated with it. So don't be panic, just try trick to store memory which will helpful very much. Trick r make a numeric, story, arrange in some pattern that easily remember. Thanks
The conversation between human and AI assistant. [\|Human\|] my Dad has congestive heart failure and was about to start testing to get a heart transplant. His heart only works at 15% is what I was informed, i know that may not completely accurate but its what I somewhat remember. A week or so ago he was diagnosed with accute leukemia. They gave him a couple weeks to live. No one has informed me on what is to be expected for how he may deteriate through out this. Can anyone give me a little insight on what is to expect especially since his heart is so weak? [\|AI\|] Yes a heart transplant is for sure possible for a weak heart and the most common reason in the world for heart transplant is congestive heart failure. However, a recently diagnosed leukemia would not make him a good candidate for heart transplant and the life span because of leukemia may have been shortened and in such case s the risk of transplant in unusually high. So only and TER resolution of leukemia should he be considered for transplant. Regards Chat Doctor.
The conversation between human and AI assistant. [\|Human\|] HELLO I AM OM AGARWAL FROM SURAT (GUJ) INDIA. I HAVE A BABY OF ONE YEAR OLD. HER WEIGHT IS APPROX. 8KG AVERAGE DIET OF MY BABY IS 3-4 200(ML) EACH BOTTLE OF MILK AND EATING FOOD EVERYTHING WHICH WE TAKE,LIKE RICE OR DAL, WHEAT CHAPATI ETC.BUT FROM LAST ONE MONTH SHE IS NOT TAKING MILK OR FOOD BUT SHE IS FEEDING MILK FROM HER MOTHER. SHE IS CRYING VERY MUCH. SO PLEASE TELL ME WHAT TO DO [\|AI\|] Hi... Thank you for consulting in Chat Doctor. I take this opportunity to tell you certain scientific facts and relieve your distress - 1. An active is a well kid even if she/ he is not eating well. 2. Development of a kid is as important as, or I would say even more important than growth alone.3. As the kids grow their interest in food decreases and interest in play activities increases so that they eat small quantity and run away to play. As parents, we need to be more patient and feed than less quantity but more liquors per day.4. This age rather than the quantity of the food I suggest you concentrate more on the number of times you feed her and also make whatever you feed her calorie dense by adding good amount of ghee to it.5. I suggest you not to use appetite stimulants on long run as they may cause Chat Doctor. Regards -

Thank you for consulting in Chat Doctor. This is called evening colic and is quite common in this age group. This happens when the baby sucks at the breast very fast and in eagerness to Chat Doctor.

The conversation between human and AI assistant. [\|Human\|] Hi I am 28, 57 kg n my height is 5 4 I got periods last month on 15th n today is 18th. I would like to take unwanted kit got 4 misoprostol n 1 mifepristone. The kit says to take 4 misoprostol tablets vaginally. Do I need to take these 4 altogether? The second question is the kit says to take mifepristone after 1-3 days. Can u plz suggest me what time will be best to take mifepristone. Thanx [\|AI\|] Hello misunderstand your concernMifepristone and bisoprolol should be taken under the advice of gynecologist after confirming the intrauterine pregnancy by USG scan. It is used to terminate the intrauterine pregnancy up to 9 weeks of pregnancy. So first confirm the pregnancy. I think it is too early to use without diagnose the pregnancy procedure, Day 1: mifepristone 600 mg orally Day 3: Bisoprolol 400 UG (2 tablet) vaginally/buccal under the observation of gynecologist. If required 400 UG should be given after 4 hours. Day 14: USG should be done to confirm incomplete abortion In absence of pregnancy, period will be induced by progesterone pill/injection if period will delay by 12-14 days. Avoid stress, take healthy diet and do regular exercise. Best regardsContact Chat Doctor for further health query Best regards
The conversation between human and AI assistant. [\|Human\|] My knee swelled up for no reason about two weeks ago. I went to the ER where they wrapped it and gave me a brace. They said it was some kind of arthritis and needed pressure. Now my ankle and foot are swollen beyond recognition. My knee still hurts but the swelling of my foot is unbearable [\|AI\|] Hello, I have studied your case. As per your age and history there is possibility of soft tissue injury in knee. Most commonly meniscus injury occurs may be associated collateral ligament injury. You may need to do MRI knee to see for any functional defect. As per your symptoms you need to do physiotherapy and knee exercises to improve range of motion. Rest and ice fomentation along with supportive brace will help to reduce locking episode and pain. Small meniscus tear can be managed conservatively with physiotherapy with USG and TENS. Large meniscus injury can be managed by arthroscopic repair. Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow-up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries. Wishing you good health. Take care.

I can understand your concern. Chest pain with breathlessness are commonly seen in asthma and heart disease. Get a chest x-ray, ECG and Echo done if they are normal, no need to worry about heart disease. Also consult pulmonologist and get done clinical examination of respiratory system and PFT (Pulmonary Function Test). PFT is needed for the diagnosis of asthma. It will also tell you about severity of the disease and treatment is based on severity only. You may need inhaled bronchodilators and inhaled corticosteroid (ICS). Don't worry, you will be alright. Hope I have solved your query. Wish you good health. Thanks.
The conversation between human and AI assistant. [\|Human\|] Good morning, my 12 year old male golden is recovering from a splenectomy that was performed on tuesday. Doing ok, however very depressed (not him at all) eating very little (has never missed a meal). Giving him boiled chicken, some peas, and water. Eats just a little, then is not interested. How long should I expect such a change in his personality. Of course surgery can bring on some depression , this is so not him. Thank you Suzi [\|AI\|] Hi, His problem may be due to stress of surgery or due to some post-operative pain. The important thing is to maintain his nutrition.

I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you. Wish you Good Health.
The conversation between human and AI assistant. [\|Human\|] My left foot and ankle is swelled and has been for over a week. The top of my foot is sore to rub. My heel is really sore to touch and walk on. Can plantar fasciitis cause your foot and ankle to swell. I ve made no changes in my eating habits at all. I am limping from the plantar ficiatis. [\|AI\|] Hi and welcome. Yes it may be caused by plantar fasciitis. Also, an injury to the foot or ankle can lead to swelling. The most common is a sprained ankle, which occurs when an injury or misstep causes the ligaments that hold the ankle in place to be stretched beyond their normal range. To reduce the swelling from a foot or ankle injury, rest to avoid walking on the injured ankle or foot, use ice packs, wrap the foot or ankle witChatDoctorpression bandage, and elevate the foot on a stool or pillow. If swelling and pain is severe or doesn't improve with home treatment, see your doctor. Wish you good health. Regards

[\|AI\|] Hi, Thank you for posting your query. The most important reason for forgetfulness at this young age is lack of concentration. If you concentrate well, then, your memory would improve.

What I have understood is that you have pain on the right side of the abdomen, have heartburn, feeling full easily and fatigue. Spleen is present on the upper left side of your abdomen and the presence of cyst can be confirmed only by an investigation like an ultrasound scan. I think probably you are suffering from Acid Peptic Disease(APD), so please take cap. Omeprazole 40 mg once daily for 15 days. Also take B-Complex and iron tables because you have fatigue.

The conversation between human and AI assistant. [\|Human\|] Hi, my wife slid out or her wheelchair today and twisted her right leg. Her leg and ankle swelled up. I am putting cold compresses every so often and have the leg wrapped and elevated. Is there anything else I can do to bring down the swelling. Nothing seems to be broken. I can not take her to the emergency room because I am blind and cannot drive. So we would not be able to get back home if we went by ambulance. We have no taxis in this area. [\|AI\|] Hello, Sorry to hear that your wife has been injured at the ankle joint due to fall. I will advise continuing the icing and elevate the limb and see for 2-3 days. If that doesn't come down then you should opt for an x-ray and take an opinion on the x-ray reports by the clinical physician. Usually, it's never a fracture if there is no osteoporosis. It means bone weakness. If osteoporosis than one can suspect for swelling. But again it isn't major than witChatDoctorpression, elevation and rest of the things become controlled. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Jay In Chat Doctor.

Avoid movement causing pain.4. Take good painkiller and muscle relaxant.5. Apply warm water pad on affected site.

I currently am very week, and have a tickle in my chest that makes me want to cough once or twice a day. When I cough hard I can taste the congestion in my chest. This is the same taste as when I had pnemonia in the past. I have no fever, but when I went to the clinic the doctor said my lymph nodes are swollen but my chest dosen"t sound congested.

The conversation between human and AI assistant. [\|Human\|] Hi doctor,My boyfriend has a lot of pain under his tongue. I am not sure about the name of it in English. But I think he has inflammation on his Plica fimbriata. It hurts even when he is not eating.What should we do? Please help me.Thanks Best regards mercedeh [\|AI\|] Hi Mercedes, It might be possible that your boyfriend may have hurt or burnt underside of tongue while eating. Pizza or sandwich can do that sometimes. However, it would have been good if you could describe how long has he been suffering from pain or if you can see presence of ulcer or lump in the area. It sounds more like an ulcer and may take 3-5 days to heal. Meanwhile, to get relief, you can apply McCoppin or Colonel in the area 3-4 times a day, preferably before eating. It has an anesthetic component that will numb the area for some time, so eating will be trouble free. If you find presence of lump or swelling in the area, do consult a dentist or physician promptly for physical examination. If pain does not subside in 5 days, I would suggest consulting dentist for physical examination. I hope this information helps. Thanks for choosing Chat Doctor.
The conversation between human and AI assistant. [\|Human\|] My daughter age 29, very good health, very active, lhas developed over several readings at doctors office high blood pressure, all blood work came out fine. she has been on birth control pills for 12 years. Can this be the problem. she also has been feeling lightheaded for 2 weeks. she did have a cold/allergies about 3 weeks ago. [\|AI\|] His appreciate your concern for your daughters high BP. Apparently the use of oral hormonal contraceptive pills (birth control pills) seems to be the reason behind her high BP. When used for such a long time or 12 years the oral hormonal contraceptive pills are associated with a number of side effects like deep vein thrombosis, jaundice, and increased BP. She is therefore advised to stop taking the birth control pills to control her BP. Hope to have answered your query. A feedback is appreciated.
The conversation between human and AI assistant. [\|Human\|] I am a 19 year old healthy female and have been having a jittery feeling in my left shoulder for a few days now. My blood pressure and heart rate are fine as I have checked them with a home blood pressure monitor. Just wondering what could be causing this? It feels like I have to move my arm but if I do it doesn t help at all. [\|AI\|] Hello, With history, it sounds to be nothing major. As your age is 19 you should not have any kind of high blood pressure or diabetic issue. This jittery feeling can be due to some other factors which need a physical examination. To ask you this. Are you having any kind of trouble? Like the pressure of studies, fight or argument with friend or teacher or anyone at home. If you are nervous that this kind of jittering feeling might come. But if you aren't nervous then wait and watch if the symptoms come again. Till then, you can relax and stay calm. There is nothing much of a worry. Hope I have answered your query.

I applied clove oil, but that did not help. And then I took a dose of Panadol (Paracetamol 500mg x 2 tablets), but that wasnt of much help too. The ache lasted for several hours. I couldnt sleep at all that night. The next morning I went and saw a dentist.He did cleaning and scaling. He had to local anaesthesia when working on the left side, due to the existing pain. He took an x-ray. He said the pain was caused by inflammation of gums which was due to infection in the pulp. He said two teeth were affected. He has indicated that I would need to do root canal treatment for both the affected teeth.He prescribed an antibiotic and a painkiller: Amoclan Forte 625mg (Amoxicillin and Clavulanic Acid - 1 tablet twice daily for 5 days; Dolgit 400 (Ibuprofen 400mg) - 1 tablet twice daily for 5 days, if I the pain exists). He asked me to come bad for the next visit after completing the course for five days.I have completed the five days of medication. My next visit to the dentist is due today.My questions are:(1) Do I really need root canal treatment? How can I be sure? Are there any alternative treatments?(2) I have been told that I will need to come for two visits. Does root canal treatment take multiple visits? Can it be done in one visit? What all steps does it involve?(3) Is it possible that commercial reasons may have prompted the dentist to recommend root canal treatment instead of an alternative treatment that may cost much less?(4) I was told that if I delayed the root canal treatment, the infection would get worse. Is that right? I live in the UAE, and I would be on a visit to India two months later. Medical costs are much lower in India than in the UAE. Would it be okay if I postponed the root canal treatment, so that I can do it in India.(5) How much of an emergency is root canal treatment? Does it need immediate attention? After this course of medication that I have already been through, in case the pain does not occur again, then will it be okay if I saw a dentist in India and then take action as required - whether a root canal treatment or any other treatment?Look forward to your response. Many thanks.Regards,Arun Joshi [\|AI\|] Hello, Requirement of root canal treatment can be decided only after examining your oral cavity. If the tooth is decayed, and it has involved the pulp it should be root canal treated. Root canal treatment usually takes 3 sitting, but now there is single sitting RCT which can be done if the tooth is not infected. Since the cost of RCT is higher in the UAE you can get it done at a cheaper cost in India. You can use Colgate Prorelief toothpaste for sensitivity. It gives quick relief. Regards
The conversation between human and AI assistant. [\|Human\|] I had an MRI done a couple of weeks ago and the report says I have a pituitary tumor and specs of hyperintensity scant chronic ischemic gliosis. I followed up with an endocrinologist who is doing blood work to check hy hormore levels. Should I make an appointment to see a neurologist? Could this gliosis be causing my headaches? [\|AI\|] Hi. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Chronic ischemic gloss can occur due to small vessels in brain being blocked resulting ischemia where small areas of brain are devoid of blood supply and become dead. These changes are usually common in patients with hypertension and also in older individuals. These changes itself are not a cause of headache. But a pituitary tumor can definitely cause headache and vision problems if it compresses on the optic chiasm. In any case I advise you to consult a neurologist for further evaluation.
The conversation between human and AI assistant. [\|Human\|] I had the Mirena iud placed on march 28,2013, it expelled on its own april 27, 2013. It was encased in a large blood clot the size of a tennis ball. now I have nonestop heavy bleeding, I have gone through 5 pads in a 5 hour period and have passed 11 clots twice the size of fifty cent pieces in 9 hours, the blood is a dark red. i also have discomfort, pain and lighheadedness when the clots pass. I am 22 years old, 55 and 190 lbs. [\|AI\|] Hi, Thanks for the query. You once consult gynecologist and get examined to find out the possible cause for the bleeding. Take medicines to stop the bleeding first. The if there is any local cause for the bleeding let it be treated. If the bleeding was only due to hormonal imbalance, then you have to go for hormonal pills for few months to regularize the periods. For more details you can ask me through: http://www.ChatDoctor .com/doctors/ Chat Doctor.
The conversation between human and AI assistant. [\|Human\|] I had a cyst removed from my neck 5 1/2 weeks ago and a seroma ever since. It seemed to be clearing up, and the fluid loss was down to a constant drip, but now a new swelling is growing again that feels harder than the original seroma and not necessarily fluid filled. Advice please! [\|AI\|] Hello dear, Thank you for your contact to Chat Doctor. I read and understand your concern. I am Chat Doctor answering your concern.First you need to diagnose the reason for swelling. You can diagnose it with the HRCT thorax. It will give you exact dimensions of swelling and the nature of the same is also should be known. The common cause of the swelling rising is the cystic aroma in this area. If It's so, then there is need for radical cure. Until you are not done with the radical cure this swelling will never go permanently. I will be happy to answer your further concern on bit.ly/ Chat Doctor. Thank you, ChatDoctorInfectious diseases specialist, ChatDoctor.
The conversation between human and AI assistant. [\|Human\|] Yesterday I noticed that my almost 1 year old has an almost marble sized hard lump under his chin. It is hard to tell if it hurts him because he has a double chin so you have to hold him down to see it and he cries but not sure if it because it actually hurts or if he just doesnt like it. He has been as happy as ever, sleeping well and eating fine. Do I need to take him in to the doctor? What could it be? [\|AI\|] HI, Dear,Thanks for the inquisitive query to Chat Doctor.1-I studied your query in depth.2-In my opinion, your 1 yr child most probably has an infective hard painful lump, and would need treatment with pediatric and surgeon doctor both, 3-Before that please give him NSAID syrup, if it gets reduced, then it's good, 3-a-but if it increases, then antibiotics' syrup under pediatric cover would help him out, 3-b-if not then surgeon would be need to treat it surgically as need be.4-Hope this would solve your query .5-Wellcome for more queries to me On Chat Doctor.6-Thnks once again for your inquisitive query. Have a Good Day.!!
The conversation between human and AI assistant. [\|Human\|] I ve had pancreatitis before and they took out my gallbladder , just the other night I had a severe attack and I couldn t even take my self to the Er, emsa had to come and get me, I m also getting pain in my left side of my chest on into my shoulder blade, they did a ct scan and blood tests and nothing came back, they released me with unknown abdominal pain , I go to a specialist Thursday, any ideas what s happening? I m getting real tired of these pains!!! [\|AI\|] Hello! Thank you for the query. Upper abdominal pain and left chest pain radiating to your shoulder blade can be caused by heart problem. And this should be ruled out at first. To do that, heart ECG and heart enzymes should be checked. It is also possible that there is a stone in your bile ducts, and it is causing your pain. Usually gallstones are invisible in the CT, that is why abdominal ultrasound should be done. Do not know what blood tests were performed, but you should have GGTP and AP checked (usually elevated with bile ducts stones). Upper GI endoscopy should be also done to rule out peptic ulcer. If no findings in ultrasound and blood tests, ERCP procedure should be also considered (to contrast pancreas ducts and bile ducts). Hope this will help. Regards.

She also, though, has blood in her urine, which she is now on antibiotic to treat. Her doctor does not seem to know what the blood in the urine is from-believes it is a separate problem. Could the blood in urine be part of the mono? Thanks! [\|AI\|] Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor, Infection with Epstein-Barr virus (ABV) is very common and usually occurs in childhood or early adulthood.

The conversation between human and AI assistant. [\|Human\|] My daughter 18 is on period but it s a lot worse this time with lower abdominal pain and pain in sides and back. Had urine tested at urgent care came back negative but on the way in car pain subsided and felt better now back at dorm room starting again. She s drinking fluids mother has had 37 kidney stones don t think it s that though, no fever . [\|AI\|] Hi there, Thanks for writing in. Most probably it just might be a case of dysmenorrhoea (painful menstruation). We can rule out urinary tract infection as the urine test has come back as normal. Renal stones sometimes have a genetic predisposition. Might want to get an ultrasound of the abdomen mainly focussing on the kidneys, ureters and bladder to rule out stones in the renal tract. In the meantime, give her a pain relief medication along with an antispasmodic. Advise her to Chat Doctor. Application of hot water bag on the lower abdomen and back might help. If the pain is due to her periods, it should resolve in a day or 2. However, if the pain persists or is severe in intensity, better to pay a visit to the doctor. Hope this helps.
The conversation between human and AI assistant. [\|Human\|] My MCV is 79.1 (and I know that it is below the range 80) I would really appreciate if you could help me what is the problem and for the marriage is there any problem with this result? 29 years old, 179 cm height, 103 Kg weight, no special medical problem, Im giving blood every 4 or 5 months, I drink tea often (4-5 glasses each day) [\|AI\|] Hi, your MTV value is almost near normal. MCV is the mean corpuscle volume. It indicates the average size of RBC's. So low MTV means that you have microcytic RBC. It is seen in iron deficiency anemia, thalassemia minor etc. but you said that you are donating blood every 4 to 6 months that means your he level is also normal and you don't have any abnormality. So just be relaxed, don't worry.it's not a problem. And it will not great any problem after marriage. Thanks for using Chat Doctor.

That is true partially. If you continue masturbation more than once a day or more than 4 to 5 times a week it may affect your energy levels as well as affect your sexual potency and libido in the future.

[\|AI\|] Hi, Your irregular period could be due to PCs Crimson 35 will help you to regularize period by correcting hormonal imbalance. Once period will become regular then chance of pregnancy is high if you have normal ovarian function, patent fallopian tube and normal semen parameter of partner are normal. If period is regular then no need to take as you want to become pregnant. You can consult gynecologist and undergo reproductive hormone analysis, USG scan, ovarian follicle study for further management. Chat Doctor. Avoid stress, take healthy diet,
The conversation between human and AI assistant. [\|Human\|] Hello I am currently having a lot of lower n mid back pain n some abdominal cramping it started yesterday went away now its back it feels like alot of pressure wen I go to the bathroom #2 i feelba lil relieve of pressure it feels almost like cramps but a lil worst what could this be? I am feelin a lil nausea as well. And my thighs n legs are hurting. [\|AI\|] Here you have mention two issues that is back pained with thigh pain as well abdominal pain with cramping feeling in abdomen also associated with nausea. Usually this both will not be associated to each other. You can do treatment first which ever is disturbing you more. Check either the back pain started first or abdominal pain started first. If you used to have regular back pain problem then it will be related to either back muscle weakness or it can be related to spinal level issues like loss off curve, lumbar spondylitis, lumbar disc issues etc.However conformation can be done by specialist like orthopedic and physiotherapist with physical examination, and they may ask you to go for MRI of lumbosacral spine. And then based on report doctor will guide you treatment. If there is major problem at spinal level then it will be surgical correction and if there is mild to moderate issue it will be treated with physiotherapy exercises and treatment along with some medication as per your body need like calcium, vitamin D, muscle relaxants etc. You can also use hot pack for some more relief in pain. For your abdominal pain I suggest if it is first time it may be gastritis also so change your food habits. Do not take oily and spicy food. Maintain food timing. Keep water intake of 3-4 liter per day. And do walking regularly in night before you go to sleep. Have one anti acid pill daily morning with empty stomach for 15 days and see how you feel. If it goes in 2 to 3 days well and good or else you need to visit a physician and may need to do ultrasound abdomen to rule out other possibility. Later can plan treatment as per the ultrasound report. Possibility is many with abdominal pain like gastritis, gastric ulcer, kidney stone since it is also associated with back pain, gallbladder stone, liver issues etc. However the conformation can be done only with ultrasound and proper physical examination only. Take care
The conversation between human and AI assistant. [\|Human\|] I was recently admitted to hospital with SVT 192 bpm, also bad chest pains, I suffer with Prinz-metals Angina. Blood test AFTER 12 HOURS indicated raised blood enzymes, does this mean I have had a heat attack. heart rate returned to 150 bpm after apporx 90 mins, and 10 mil of morphine, dropping further to 107 bpm after a further 20 mins. It then remained at 107 for approx 3 hours when it returned to normal. Doctors were vague to say the least and gave conflicting opinions as to whether or not I had actually suffered a heart attack. one doctor said there was a "small injury" to the heart muscle, whilst another stated it was only "marked". I still do not know whether or not I have actually had a heart attack or a severe angina attack. I was discharged after three days with blood thinning drugs and an appointment to return in six months to see the consultant ,if it does not happen again. Your thoughts and opinions would be most welcome. Thank you for your time. Christine Browning (56 years of age and type 2 diabetic) email address YYYY@YYYY [\|AI\|] HiT hanks for consulting us. You did not mention ECG changes and magnitude of enzyme levels. Your description indicates that it was subtle Attack, not involving the whole thickness and subsided quickly. We call it unstable angina, and it is associated with increased risk of further events. You take the medication prescribed, control diabetes, walk regularly, treat hyperlipidemia with station. You must have been prescribed this. I recommend you to angiogram with a plan to stent placement. Hope you are satisfied. ChatDoctor shall be pleased to help you in the future, too.

In your case, the duration of 1 week may not cause much of disturbance to hormone to affect the cycle. I would advise my patient to wait for a week in conditions like this before evaluating further.

I had a hard blow to the leg and a huge bruised formed and now there is now a dent where I got hit. Further down is the lump. It is around the size of half a tennis ball. The skin is also a bit numb where it is. I have booked for an ultrasound, but is there anything I should be worried about? It doesn t hurt to touch. [\|AI\|] Welcome to Chat Doctor. 1. The history suggest the possible cause of the lesion at the site of the previous injury could be infective collection. 2. Though there is no history mentioned pain or fever infective etiology to be ruled out.3. Other possible cause could be lipomatous lesion - fat content.4. The Ultrasound examination is the investigation of choice in this case, ultrasound will help to evaluate the nature of the lump, its source and extensions.5. First thing one has to examine the lump, I do not think there is much to worry as there is no pain on touch. Good luck. Hope I have answered your query,anything to ask ?

Second, if you took oral contraceptive pills or a hormonal replacement therapy, you should ask a gynecologist for help. Second, you should do ESR to assess the left temporal artery occlusion.

[\|Human\|] I woke to find a lump has appeared just above my right eyebrow not that big but abit red and hurts when touched yesterday I had really bad back ache and some chest pain 2 weeks ago I had an operation to have my gallbladder removed was wondering if it could be a blood clot [\|AI\|] Hi, Dear thanks for the query to Chat Doctor virtual clinic. I studied your query in full details updated from you. I understood your health concerns. Based on your query data, In my opinion, Dear You seem to suffer from periorbital painful infected clot developing in to abscess/ or it could be a boil in hair follicle with weak defenses due to postoperative stress. Treatment-Would be by Surgeon who would fix the cause from above possibilities and would get USG / CT to understand the nature of the painful lump above eyebrow right side. Moslty aboil seems to because in your case. Treatment would be by medicines and if not by surgical Chat Doctor. Possibility of this lump being clot during the post-operative period could not be ruled out and needs to be treated with blood thinners like warfarin following initial use of heparin at the surgery. Antibiotic cover would be needed for removal of infected clot, or it could be just a Clot in periorbital eyebrow tissue, with pain due to sudden vascular obstruction. Hope this reply would help you to evaluate your case and treat it with your doctors in time to come. Hope this would resolve your query and worry and Anxiety accompanied by it. Welcome for any further query in this regard to ME. I would love to help you out.Awaiting any further query. Wish you fast recovery from this intriguing health problem. Have a Good Day.

[\|Human\|] yesterday after lunch i was feeling great. about 1 hour later my heart started beating extremely fast, and it felt like something was pressing down on my chest, and right leg pain. I checked it and it was 132 (resting) it went away after about 5 minutes. this am i woke up with major irregular heartbeat and headache. i just ate lunch and i seem fine but im still worried sick. am on levothyroxine for hypothyroid for 2 weeks now. [\|AI\|] Hello, Thyroxine can cause tachycardia, so I need to know how much dose you are taking, also the TSH level before starting thyroxine. If you are feeling your pulse is irregular then you need an ECG to look for atrial fibrillation. You also need to know your hemoglobin level as it may also aggravate palpitations. You can visit your doctor again and ask for dose reduction if possible. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
The conversation between human and AI assistant. [\|Human\|] Yes. My GI doctor is worried about my fatty liver, which I ve had for years (40). I am also anemic and have had gold-colored stool for years. They have found cysts in my liver, so far. I am a 67 year old female. Does it sound to you like I may have cancer? They also found 6 polyps in my stomach and colon, recently. [\|AI\|] Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. In my opinion you should first get done stool microscopic examination to rule out occult blood. Since you are anemic I think you have chronic slow blood loss in stool. And if occult blood in stool is present than possibility of cancer is high. You may need CT ABDOMEN and colonoscopies biopsy of the polyps to rule out malignancy. So consult your gastroenterologist and discuss all these.

The conversation between human and AI assistant. [\|Human\|] I constantly have this feeling that I must be adopted. I also know for a fact that I am not adopted. I have studies my genetics and they all match up with my family s, and I even search the adoption database to confirm that I am not adopted. But yet for some reason I have this feeling/thought that I am adopted. And it weird to explain, but it just hovers in the back of my mind all day. I have to look through my birth certificates and documents from when I was born just to be able to sleep at night. I m tired of feeling this way. I know it s weird to feel this way, and I m not sure why I feel this way, especially since I know I m not adopted. Also note I come from a very supportive family and was well brought up. I just... Feel so out of place... I have no motivation to do anything and find myself sleeping a lot when I m home during the day, and staying up really late at night. [\|AI\|] Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor You have repeated thoughts that you are adopted. These thoughts dominate your mind and despite you know that you are not adopted, you can't control the thoughts. These cause significant distress to your functioning. You have checked genetics, database but still have these thoughts. In night, you are compelled to check your birth documents to relax yourself. It appears that most likely you are suffering from Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. In this disorder individuals develop persistent dominating thoughts which are distressing thoughts. They can't control the thoughts. Consult a Psychiatrist for treatment. SSRIs in high doses are mainstay of treatment. Fluoxetine, Paroxetine are very useful. Behavior therapy, exposure and response prevention technique are also equally efficacious. Thanks, hope this helps you. Talk to your parents about that and consult a Psychiatrist.
The conversation between human and AI assistant. [\|Human\|] i am 35 years old and planto put clip for my teeth as it looks bad. I already have more teeth with cavities and my gums too weak as i get pain oftenly as well as sensitive. Can i go for clip treatment as my doctor told its one year process only. Will it pain too much and how many days the pain will last. Will it worsen my gums further.I am in a panic. Please do advise [\|AI\|] Hello there, Thanks for writing your query, Orthodontic wiring or clip treatment is better to be done on the sound teeth with good gum support. So before going for orthodontic treatment I would suggest you to go for complete oral prophylaxis and treatment rendering good oral health. Cavities in the teeth can be filled with restorative materials. Weak and sensitive gums indicate gingival infection. It needs to be treated by thorough professional deep scaling of gums and root planing of the teeth to remove all the irritants. This will help in resolving the symptoms followed by a course of antibiotic and analgesics. I would suggest you to go for symptomatic treatment at home like gargling with lukewarm saline water or antiseptic mouthwash like chlorhexidine or Betadine. I hope this helps, take care.

[\|Human\|] Hi,I have stomach pain last Two months,I m 45year old and I m cancer survivor I have stomach pain deworing radiation my treatment is finish but I am suffering stomach pain, If I take mucaine gel it will be ok however that ugly burning feeling will always be there mainly during night [\|AI\|] Hi ! Good evening. I am Chat Doctor answering your query. You have not mentioned which cancer you had. However, from your history, it seems that you have a post radiation gastritis/esophagitis. If I were your doctor, I would add a proton pump inhibitor and a prokinetic agent to your treatment regime along with the machine gel. Also, I would advise you to go for bland diet without many spices in it. Elevating the head end of the bed by two blocks might give you some relief in the nighttime burning sensation. I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts. Thanks for choosing Chat Doctor to clear doubts on your health problems. I wish you an early recovery. Chat Doctor.

The conversation between human and AI assistant. [\|Human\|] I had a bartholin cyst or abcess (whichever one can burst) but I did not know I had it until it bursted. It bursted while i was peeing on the toilet. I then researched it because I got scared I had never experienced anything like that before. I felt instant relief as soon as it happened. Now here s where it gets tricky, I caught chicken pox a few days ago so I also have a few tiny blisters down there. I had the chills for about 2 days before this happened that I thought May have been from the CP but I m starting to think maybe it was infected because I read one of the symptoms for an infection is the chills and blood and pus did come out of it along with a whitish orange scab. It s still a little sore down there I m not sure if it s from the burst itself and needs to heal or it s just the blisters from the CP? Also every time I go to the bathroom or wipe a little discharge comes out of a blackish color. Is this normal? Please answer me I cannot see a doctor about it as I m still contagious from the CP. Thank you [\|AI\|] Hello and thank you for your question. Catholics gland cysts are caused when this gland gets blocked and is a separate problem from the chicken pox, but is hard to know if the pain is from the healing cyst or the chicken pox. The cyst can ooze fluid, pus and even blood for a while until it heals up. Occasionally these cysts are so large that they have to be surgically opened and Chat Doctor. If yours has already opened up, then the best thing to do is to use warm compresses and/or soak in warm water to encourage it to completely
The conversation between human and AI assistant. [\|Human\|] hi,my brother 47 yrs had a gi bleed,he is diabetic on oral meds and having low platelets,the reason for which is unknown.we did bone marrow and other tests and it is normal.he had a tooth infection last week and was on two course of antibiotics,he was alcoholic as well,now the dr says he may need a liver banding ,how does it helps,should we go for that,what are its complications [\|AI\|] Hello,1) history of alcohol + GI bleeding + low platelets suggest cirrhosis of liver due to alcohol with portal hypertension2) in this condition liver is damaged from excessive alcohol consumption and normal liver tissue replaced by high-functioning fibrous tissue. Thus liver function will get compromised. This fibrous tissue in liver also produce hypertension in portal vein (supply blood to liver).3) due to portal hypertension, blood flow to liver will be decreased which further aggravate cirrhosis and blood flow to spleen increase (spleen size increase). Because of increase flow to spleen, blood cells get destroyed in seen (cause low platelets, low WBC).4) because of portal hypertension, small blood vessels in lower part of esophagus get enlarged (esophageal varices). If these varices enlarge beyond acceptable limit then it may rupture and cause GI bleeding.5) To prevent such rupture of esophageal varices, endoscopic banding must be done regularly.

Mild proteinuria up to 1 to 2 grams can occur from tubular injury by kidney stones and infections, so it is important to quantitative the proteinuria in 24 hrs urine sample. Recurrent stones can be from various reasons depending on the chemical content of the stone. Recurrent stones warrants a battery of blood and urine tests which your doctor should prescribe to find out the cause of stone formation. Kindly follow advice of your doctor for the same.

[\|AI\|] Hi, Thank you for posting your query. Brain hemorrhage leads to irreversible damage to brain nerves (where the bleeding occurred). Therefore, complete or significant recovery usually does not occur and survivors are left with varying degrees of disability. Future treatment would consist of good physiotherapy and brain stimulation activities under the guidance of a rehab specialist. Please get back if you require any additional information.

The conversation between human and AI assistant. [\|Human\|] My wife is 30 weeks pregnant and has been in the the Hospital for 4 days now. Her Dr first said it was a kidney infection but now thinks it may be kidney stones. Her symptoms started out as pain in her left side then moved to her back with a temp of 101. They started her on antibiotics and nausea medicine. Her temp will stay down for extended periods and out of nowhere will spike into the low 100s. The Dr said that they can not do a CT Scan for stones if that is what it is due to the radiation. Have performed Ultrasound on her kidneys and said that it is enlarged. Just wondering if it could be something else because the fever. [\|AI\|] Hello, from what description you have given here it seems it could be urinary tract infection vs kidney stone. But fever goes more with urinary tract infection. Kidney stone won't cause fever in most of the cases. The doctors are right as we can't expose her to radiation in form of X-ray or CT scans. One thing is we can get her urine checked for routine and culture examination. If it shows multiple pus cells or bacteria present we can pinpoint to urinary tract infection and can treat her with appropriate antibiotic based on the culture report. I hope this may help. Thank you
The conversation between human and AI assistant. [\|Human\|] Hello Doc,My mom is suffering from severe back ache , more like muscle pulls . She is not able to sleep or change postions due to this . The pain subsides for a little while leaving a shadow and pops up again . Initial treatment suggested this was because of gas. Is there any exercise that she can follow to get rid of this pain . Please help! [\|AI\|] Hello, Thanks for writing to us. The pains that you have described are likely to be due to a muscular pain most likely caused by a wrong body posture. Taking mild painkillers and muscle relaxants will bring a short term relief. Regular exercise will be helpful. I suggest her to try back strengthening exercises by extension of the back muscles which can be taught by your Orthopedic or Physiotherapist. This will help to relieve the possible muscle spasm which causes the pain. Hope this helps you. Regards.

The conversation between human and AI assistant. [\|Human\|] I have had several sexual encounters over the past year. All but 1 with a condom and 1 where a condom broke. After the one where the condom broke, I have been constantly checking myself. (multiple times per day). About a month later, out of the blue I had to urinate constantly and my penis was very tender. I got checked from Chlamidia and gonorhea and negative. I made myself quit checking so often and it has subsided. My question is, could constantly checking myself like that cause urithritis or balantis which could cause me to have to urinate constantly. By the way...Not other symptoms other than that..No discharge , no lesions....my penis was irritated , but I beleive that was from it rubbing as I shave that area, but had not dones so in two weeks. It think it was rubbing on the growing hair...as soon as I shaved, that stopped as well. [\|AI\|] HelloThanks for your query, based on the facts that you have posted it appears that you have developed infection of the urethra and glans (Urethritis and Atlantis)due to unprotected sex. Please get your routine urine test and urine culture done to find out the organisms causing this infection and antibiotics to which they are sensitive to. Please take broad spectrum antibiotics like Čeferin along with urinary antiseptic like Nitrofurantoin twice daily and anti-inflammatory medicine like Diclofenac twice daily. Later on switch on to appropriate antibiotics as per culture report. Get the prescription of medicines from your family Physician. Ensure to Chat Doctor.

I wrestle and am thinking that it may be bursitis but am unsure due to the hardness of the lump. The lump just appeared within the last week. [\|AI\|] Hi, greetings from ChatDoctor.it is common to develop bursts of elbow especially olecranal bursitis in trauma. Bursa can enlarge is size due to associated inflammation. It can even be felt like a hard lump below elbow after a few days. This is a harmless lump. If it is causing concern you may consult an orthopedic and get it removed.

The conversation between human and AI assistant. [\|Human\|] my sister and daughter seem to be allergic to most food and.only eat a handful of diffrent things they feel bad most of the time they have been to all kinds of doctors and they cant seem to figure out why this has happened and what they can to about it [\|AI\|] Hi I do care for your concern. The immune system over responds to normal food substance causing this type of allergic reactions. You have not mentioned the age as some type of allergy will resolve after few years. I would advise consulting your dermatologist of allergy specialist and get tested for different substance that you might be allergic with. This usually consist of introducing small amount of antigen and to find out which one they are allergic. If found then desensitization procedure can be done to blunt the immune response. Hope this will help then a lot. Hope I have answered your question. If you have more feel free to ask. Thank you.

The conversation between human and AI assistant. [\|Human\|] Hi m suffering from pco m periods have been irregularly irregular since start my gny asked me to tak asmita for 6 min now we want to have a child he has prescribe me clofert 50 and blong f tab to be taken on 3 day of period for 5 days pls let me know cant i conceive naturally n r ther any chances of conceiving twins .doc pls help i m depressed with my pcod problem [\|AI\|] Hi, At the outset, please do not get disappointed. POD is the commonest cause of infertility and hormonal imbalance observed in the reproductive age group, and it responds very well to management. Before initiating any treatment, you should get completely investigated; a hormonal profile, glucose tolerance test, tubal patency test, ovarian reserve, serum RHEAS levels, serum prolactin levels and thyroid profile are needed. Your partner also needs to be assessed. You may need priming with dexamethasone or Metformin before induction. If you are overweight, please maintain a proper diet and exercise and regulate your body weight within the normal BMI (19-25). Natural conception is possible; twin pregnancy may sometimes occur with hyper-stimulation of the ovaries and this is why regular monitoring is done during induction. Wish you good luck.
The conversation between human and AI assistant. [\|Human\|] I have pcos problem, I m have been prescribed by doctor to take ovacare 2tymes a day along with lycomin at night .For 3 month. I want to consive ,I was not getting my periods regularly,bt after taking medicine I don t see any result my period is still irregular and very light bleeding occurs during period .. what to do [\|AI\|] Hi there, I will suggest you the best possible treatment options.First do not panic. At the outset I will suggest you to get USG done to rule out PCs- Polycystic ovaries as a cause of your irregular periods. Thsi is a lifestyle disorder and can be tackled by healthy lifestyle changes. Secondly, get post menstrual HSG- Hysterosalpingography done. This helps to know about the patency of the Fallopian tubes. Also, partners semen analysis with 4 days abstinence should be done, this will help to know about the quality and quantity of the sperms. If these reports are normal, you can seek prescription support from your treating doctor for ovulation induction medicines. Follicle study from day 10 of the cycle will help to know exact date of ovulation. You can opt for GUI- Intrauterine insemination on the day of ovulation or opt for natural unprotected sex activity on and around the day of ovulation. Please start on Folic acid and vitamin B 12 supplements regularly. Think positive. Meditate regularly. May God bless you with a bundle of joy. I hope this answer helps you. Thanks.

[\|AI\|] Brief answer:No need to worry. Detailed answer:Hi, welcome to Chat Doctor. Your child has might eat a cherry with insect in it but I want to clarify to you that most insects or worms do not survive the acidic pH in our stomach.

The conversation between human and AI assistant. [\|Human\|] In which treatment you use this product?I know a man who is 58 years old and had prostate cancer, I think his weight is 165 pounds and I do not have his height. He has already received radiation but the PSA is still high and now he has been prescribed to use zintag 250 mg. [\|AI\|] Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. He has prostate cancer so PSA is high. Treatment depends on stage and spread of disease. May be radiation therapy alone is not sufficient to control prostate cancer. Chemotherapy can be taken along with radiation. Consult your doctor and take treatment accordingly. Hope I have answered your question, if you have any doubts then contact me at bit.ly/ Chat Doctor.

The conversation between human and AI assistant. [\|Human\|] Ive recently ( one week ago) had a right sided inguinal hernia repair, a mesh was used. I am concerned that Im getting funny sensations in the groin, the occasional bit of shooting discomfort into the right side of the penis and testicle ( I assume this is nerve related) and pain in the right side of my back (SI joint region) when I sit too long. And when I empty my bladder it feels as I havent emptied it fully and within in 30 minutes I need to go to the toilet again.Its also numb around the incision area. What I am experiencing is this normal? will all these symptoms eventually wear off?. I wasnt informed of any of this before my surgery and now I am concerned and worried. Im started to regret having the surgery. Thanks [\|AI\|] Hello. Thank you for the query. After inguinal hernia surgery the main symptom is pain in the wound area. Other mentioned symptoms are not characteristic. Your symptoms indicate urinary tract infection or testis inflammation. Frequent urinating, burning while urinating, back main, lower abdominal pain and groin pain are typical UTI symptoms. I suggest you to visit your doctor, have urinalysis and testis ultrasound. Hope this will help. Regards
The conversation between human and AI assistant. [\|Human\|] Hi for the past 3 days I ve been having a thick light orange/pink looking discharge and I m not sure what it s from. I get my period in 11 days and it s usually always on time. I m not sure if it s because I recently started taking birth control. Thank you for your help! [\|AI\|] Hallow Dear, Birth control pills contain Estrogen and/or Progesterone combination jointly or singly. Estrogen is a hormone which increases vaginal discharge due to the proliferation of glands in the mouth of the uterus (cervix) while Progesterone thicken the secretions. So while on birth control pills, increased vaginal mucoid discharge is expected and is a physiological phenomenon. You need not be concerned about it. Even when examined vaginally, cervical erosion also will be noted while on birth control pills. This needs no attention nor any treatment. I hope your stress is removed.

The conversation between human and AI assistant. [\|Human\|] My 10 month old granddaughter sways her head from side to side and at time also clenches her fists (not at the same time). She will especially do it when there s a favourite song of her s playing, but will also do it with no music. Is this something to be concerned about? [\|AI\|] Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor, I don't really think that as a problem. Behavior can be varying from child to child. As long as she is not having any such persistent activities, and she is otherwise behaving well, feeding well and developing well, you needn't worry. If it gets worse, the only thing that needs to be done is an EEG test to check if any seizure like activity on. Hope I cleared your query. Take care.

The conversation between human and AI assistant. [\|Human\|] HELLO My 16 year old son has problems with his kidneys etc and has a mitrofanoff etc and has a number of other medical problems. I have just received a review letter after seeing his consultant which states his right kidney measures 10.6cm with focal cortical thinning and mild calyceal prominence with the AP diameter measuring 7mm (previously 18mm). The left kidney measured 9.7cm with focal areas of cortical thinning, mild calyceal prominence and AP diameter of 7mm (previously 13mm). Could you please tell me exactly what this means, and why the diameters would be so different and if I should be concerned at this stage. I thank you for your help. [\|AI\|] Based on information you provided, I would presume he has had issues related to obstruction for some time hence the Stroganoff. The radiologic reports are suggesting the following: 1. The kidney sizes mentioned are within normal range, perhaps the Left a bit smaller. In general, I would consider between 9 and 12 cm normal-sized. The discrepancy in the size of his kidneys is within physiologic normal range and that in and of itself would not be concerning 2. The cortex of the kidney is where majority the "functional units" of the kidney are locate die the microscopic parts that are responsible for filtration and urine formation. Cortical thinning would indicate some loss of these functional units perhaps from prior injury or scarring. I would be considered a marked of what is termed Chronic Kidney disease. The ultrasound itself would not be the determinant of his kidney function. This would be assessed based on blood tests and certain urine assessments 3. The calyx is a portion within the collecting system. In your sons condition, I would presume there was/or is some degree of reflux (urine refluxing back into the ureter). This is likely the cause of the cancel dilation. Stone, stricture, scarring, mass are other causes but based on your recent Ultrasound not commenting on such a finding and his history, this seems less likely

[\|AI\|] Hello, You seem to be experiencing the pill effects, though rib pain may be non-related. You are safe from conception since you consumed the pill soon after the accident, and more so, if you are in the safe period. You can expect some amount of with Chat Doctor. Your next natural period may get delayed by a week or two, and please contact a specialist for further help if you do not see a period even after ten days after it is due. Hope this helps.
The conversation between human and AI assistant. [\|Human\|] I started birth control (mid cycle, so not effective right away) recently and my package and doctor said it will be effective without backup 7 days in. So, I took 7 pills consecutively and had unprotected sex the night after I had taken the 7th pill that morning. However, I realize this is technically SIX days, because the package says Sunday to Sunday whereas I did Sunday to Saturday, 7 pills but only 6 days. My partner did pull out as well, but I m still a little concerned. Should I be worried about a pregnancy risk? [\|AI\|] Hallow Dear, You have to be worried. If you have started the pills midcycle, this cycle will not be protected. You will start getting the protection against pregnancy only from your next cycle, when your pills will be continuous from day 2 of the cycle. Now, if you take two pills after the unprotected intercourse within 72 hours, you will get the same protection as post-coital emergency pill. Beta Chat Doctor test 10 days after the last unprotected intercourse will give you the reliable information of your pregnancy status. I would advise you to report to your Gynecologist ASAP for further advice and any intervention if needed.

The conversation between human and AI assistant. [\|Human\|] Hi. A week ago I had a toothache went to the dentist and tried extraction but due to pain it didnt finish. She said it could have a pus. Was it really that painful despite putting a lot of anesthesia? And so thw dentist prescribed me with cloxacillin 500mg 3xa day and diclofenac sodium every 12hours. Days passed by discomforts went on so I went to another dentist. He said looking at it it was traumatised. So I asked him if it was possible already to pull it out. The first attempt was painful even with anesthesia so he injected again and again until the last dose.. unfortunately I still felt the pain and I just bore the pain for the sake of having it extracted already. 3 days now post extraction and it still feels inflammed even if under amoxicillin and mefenamic acid. Moving my cheeks or mouth still hurts.. I think I may also have some sores on my gums that part where the tooth was extracted.. what am I supposed to do and ro take to feel better? Please help. [\|AI\|] Hello, Welcome Thanks for consulting Chat Doctor, I have gone through your query, as you have mentioned that you have undergone extraction now you feel pain in check and extraction area don't worry it can be due to trauma due to extraction, bony spicules or unhealed socket. Do warm saline gargle two - three times a day. Apply ointment Gum paint twice daily on painful Gums. Take one capsule vitamin B complex once daily for 7 days. If you won't get relief then go to dentist for oral examination. Hope this will help you.

I am 55, went into cardiac arrest and had anMI in Dec 2010. I have had 2 stent placements. Is this something I should be overly concerned about or could it be GI related. [\|AI\|] Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Yes, you should definitely concern about this squeezing type of pain. Possibility of cardiac chest pain (angina) is more because you already had MI (myocardial ischemia). So immediately consult doctor and get done ECG, 2d echo and stress test (trade mill test) to rule out heart diseases. If all these reports are normal then HERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease) can be the cause. It is due to laxity of gastroesophageal sphincter. Because of this the acid of the stomach tends to come up in the esophagus and cause the central squeezing type of pain. So take proton pump inhibitors and prokinetic Chat Doctor. Avoid hot and spicy food. Don't worry, you will be alright, but first rule out cardiac chest pain. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
The conversation between human and AI assistant. [\|Human\|] hi doctors. i have a 2.4cm endometrial cyst in my right ovary. have undergone assistive reproductive insemination many times but failed. i am taking clomiphene nitrate. i have been married for almost 4 yrs now. i am 32 y/o. my husband has a low sperm count. Pls. advise. Ty. [\|AI\|] Hi The fact that you have undergone assisted insemination suggests that your baseline hormone studies and Fallopian tubal patency tests are normal. You have not mentioned how low is your husbands' sperm count. Is there any evidence of infection in the semen analysis done. What about other parameters of sperm like morphology, motility etc. Your husband needs to see a Chat Doctor. If you have already done six cycles of insemination and have not conceived the next mode of treatment will be IVF. (in vitro fertilization)Before IVF treatment the endometrial cyst needs to be aspirated to optimize the success rate of IVF treatment. Take one tablet of folic acid daily. I would also like to advise on simple measures. Maintain normal BMI (20-25 kg/M2)If you both smoke cigarettes you need to quit smoking. Good luck. Keep me updated about your treatment. If you have any further concerns I will be happy to answer.
The conversation between human and AI assistant. [\|Human\|] I m concerned about consistent high ggt levels in my blood tests.I m 42 yo male and I drink socially on weekends and would have upto 10 beers on a Friday and Saturday night. I hold my alcohol well and am not rolling drunk with this quantity of alcohol. I m 6 feet tall and weigh 205 pounds.My sat reading is 23 u/l and my ALt reading is 41 u/l my gama gt reading is 78 u/l And has always been around this figure or lower over the last 10years.I worry as when you read up about thes levels it says I will end up with liver cancer or sclerosisyour thoughts . And are there any sublime nuts I can take to protect my liver or cleanse it?Thanks jeremy [\|AI\|] Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor. I read carefully your query and I understand your concern. Your high level o GGT (gamma-glutamyl transpeptidasa) is related with your alcohol consume, as you say you have a high level of alcohol Chat Doctor. Your ALT and AST are at their normal range only GGT have a high value for it referential normal range. These results shown that the liver is affected, but there is no disease, but you should avoid the heavy amount of alcohol to avoid the damage to your liver in the next future. I recommend decreasing the amount of beers at one or two during weekend day no more than two or replace beer or other alcohol
The conversation between human and AI assistant. [\|Human\|] Hello,I was woken up this morning from a sever pain in my left abdomen section that stretched to my upper part of my back. I tried to walk it off, but it did nothing. So I got some Advil and took it with water. I tried to lay back down in my bed, but the pain was so unbearable I got up and got on the floor, trying to find some type of relief. After about 2-3 minutes on the floor, my mouth got really watery. I went into the bathroom and immediately started throwing up. However, it was only liquid. The pain is still ripping through my stomach, what should I do? [\|AI\|] Hello, You have excruciating, unbearable pain in left side of your abdomen along with radiating in your back and also had vomiting, and you slightly relived on lying down and again having such a sever pain, in this regard in my opinion you might be having left Ureteric colic pain, which might be due to a stone in your left ureter. So it's my opinion and suggestion to you that you must consult your nearby urologist or get emergency treatment by undergoing first taking analgesic Injection and followed by Ultrasonography of your abdomen and X-Ray of your PUB region with continuing urologist treatment at your nearby hospital or medical facilities. Hoping you will get relieved by my guidance. Good Luck and take care.

The conversation between human and AI assistant. [\|Human\|] i have a lower back pain. i did all x rays and MRI to my back but all is OK and my doctor said all is muscle spasm. This was last year. I am still sufferingfrom that pain with neausea...which exceeds when i do any extra physycal effort. I did a urine test plus culture urine test and the result was that i have E.coli ( colony count 100.000 ). I really would appreciat your kind help [\|AI\|] Hi dear. Any case of acute pain can lead to nausea even headache or toothache. Regarding your back pain, although you did all investigations, muscular pain sometimes is so hard to treat. Moreover I had the couple of patients that checking their calcium and vitamin D revealed vitamin and mineral deficiency also should be considered. For chronic back pain:using NSAIDs and muscle relaxation and corticosteroid plus physiotherapy can help.
The conversation between human and AI assistant. [\|Human\|] Hey there!I am a gay, me and my mate have a daily penetration, he cums inside me...my question is, if i have hommeroids and his sperms goes inside my blood, will my immunity system consider semen as a intruder and fight it then,if yes, what about the semen which is in my body(my testicles), will be fought as well?thank you [\|AI\|] Hi! Semen is nothing but a protein-rich secretion that must generate immunity in your body if somehow inoculated; actually it is not against semen as a whole but against some protein components of it! The sperms die soon and only digested/residual proteins will initiate some allergic/immunities in your body!there is no communication of blood with semen due to blood-testes barrier and not to worry! Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow-up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions. All the best!

Continue taking the pills as recommended, do not skip any of them.

As I stop using the medicine she suffers from cold, cough and sneezing..plz help [\|AI\|] Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor, Your child seems to be troubled with reactive airway disease and the medications prescribed are very much needed, and its unfortunate child needs it for so long. But it's not unsafe to use it for so long. Having said that, for your child to be so sensitive for so long there should be some trigger factor in your home or in the area that child is coming in contact with. You need to identify that and get it off from his life, then things should fall in place. Keep away from pollen, dust, smoke, cold etc. triggers. Wet mopping of home floor. Dusting and Chat Doctor. Take care. Wish your child a good health.
