Hi. Thanks for posting your question on Chat Doctor. Some persons do have low blood pressure and feel slight weakness. But medically, if you don't have any particular reason for low BP, there is nothing to worry. You can take any multivitamin, but that has nothing much to do with low BP rather it will be having only placebo effect. You should take more of liquids and avoid working in hot atmosphere for long. If symptoms don't improve, you can get your serum cortisol level checked and consult some physician. <|eot_id|> |

Two days back, I felt a stiffening pain around my right knee,as a result of which I could not stamp my right leg in usual posture. Yesterday, I could see a swelling around my right knee. while pressing around the knee. I realized a painful sensation at one point adjoining the knee-ball surrounding the right knee area. I consulted an Ortho surgeon. During the blood test, everything, including uric acid, was found normal. X-ray was normal. Anyhow, he prescribed some medicines for 10 days. What would be the actual cause for such symptoms. Previously, I had similar pain in my left wrist joint for some times. It itself got cured after 1 month. What would be the reasons for this complaint? <|eot_id|><|start_header_id|>assistant<|end_header_id|>
Hello, Welcome, and thanks for sharing your concern I went through your query, and I feel, you probably are suffering from early arthritis, with flare up of synovial swellings, the best would be to start regular exercises, called the qua Chat Doctor.

I hope my advice would have been useful, in decision-making regarding your treatment, still if you have any clarifications or doubts feel free to contact back. Thanks. <|eot_id|> |

My dad fell and broke his hip. He had three pins/screws put in. His thigh is now swollen, hard and very painful. They said his blood was thinned too much and he has a superficial blood clot. It has been several days and doesn t seem to be getting better. What is going on? <|eot_id|><|start_header_id|>assistant<|end_header_id|>
Hello, First thing first. Take an x-ray to check the operated site. If any misplaced implant has happened needs correction. The swelling is common to post the pins and screws. It will come down. Do ankle toe movements while leg on the pillow with your dad lying down. Good venous return will help ease the symptoms. The hardness is due to the healing process may gentle kneading massage should help. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Jay In Chat Doctor. <|eot_id|> |

My sister suffered severe brain damage at age 26 ( major car wreck, head crushed, lost one eye and has a steel plate in her head and in a coma for 3 and 1/2 months and was not supposed to live.) and now is 85 yrs old. Her Drs report says there is a very large area of encephalomalacia occupying most of the left hemisphere in the distributions of the left ACA AND MCA. A smaller area of encephalomalacia is present within the superior right frontal lobe.Healed right frontal craniotomy defect is present. I am and have been caring for her for years, she is very high maintenance. What does this all mean as for as brain damage?Her memory is fair; however, her logic is very poor to non existent. <|eot_id|><|start_header_id|>assistant<|end_header_id|>
Hi, Encephalomalacia refers to loss of normal brain tissue which is replaced by scar tissue which does not do the function of brain cells. Brain cells once dead do not normally regenerate and usually when one area of the brain is damaged, over a period of time the adjacent parts of the brain take over the functions lost. However, in your sisters case, the loss of brain tissue is very severe and one half of the brain has already nearly lost complete function. The other half is also affected. Overall, it is unlikely that her mental functions would improve a great deal at her age. Sincerely, Vamshi <|eot_id|> |

I have a pain or discomfort inmy sternum. Spent a few days in the Hospital...where they cleared my heart and lungs. Is this gas trapped in my chest area. I feel fine when I wake up....but as the day goes on and i sit at my desk, I feel the pain/discomfort. What do i do to get this mess out ofme? <|eot_id|><|start_header_id|>assistant<|end_header_id|>
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. No need to worry much because your heart and lung related diseases because your work up for them is done during hospitalization, and it is negative. Possibility of HERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease) is more in your case. 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 symptoms of Central, sub sternal chest pain. This can also cause gaseous discomfort. Follow these lifestyle modifications for better symptomatic relief. Avoid stress and tension. Avoid hot and spicy food. Avoid junk food. Avoid large meals, instead take frequent small meals. Start proton pump inhibitors and prokinetic Chat Doctor. Don't worry, you will be alright. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks. <|eot_id|> |

HiT hank you for asking Chat Doctor. I have gone through your query. If you have dysuria and back pain then you should out a urinary infection which is most likely. If that is clear, and you have signs and symptoms of muscle strain or sprain then you can take tizanidine which is a muscle relaxant and naproxen a NSAID for short duration. Hope this may help you.

Hi Doctor,My face and fore head are infected by pigmentation and used to attend chemical peeling sessions. I have observed a little change after 2 sessions. let me know with in how many sittings i will observe change. Also what should be the time span for each sitting. Regards,Mahi <|eot_id|><|start_header_id|>assistant<|end_header_id|>
Hello. Thank you for writing to us at Chat Doctor Certainly chemical peeling can improve pigmentation. Glycol peel is one such peel and helps to exfoliate existing pigment/ melanin. A session of chemical peeling is usually performed every 2 weeks. Number of sessions required would depend on the severity of pigmentation. Since you have observed improvement after 2 sessions, therefore, I suggest you to continue with further sessions. However, it is also important to use a topical cream/ingredient which would prevent synthesis of new melanin i.e. re-development of pigmentation. Sun protection is also an essential part of treatment of pigmentation and prevents further sun induced darkening. I suggest you to use a broad spectrum sunscreen, i.e. one which offers both UV A and UV B protection, throughout the day. Regards <|eot_id|> |

Hello, I just had my wisdom teeth removed (all 4 of them) 4 days ago. I am having a strange sore& painful throat and right tonsil only, hurts as well. I also have this painful burning sensation in the middle of my chest , feels like my lungs are on fire. I ve been taking Pen VK after the surgery in order to avoid an infection, also took motrin for about a week 2x per day to help with the pain I was having BEFORE the surgery (cavity in wisdom tooth ). What is this burning in my chest and painful tonsil?? Thank you.. <|eot_id|><|start_header_id|>assistant<|end_header_id|>
Hi, Thanks for posting your query, Fever , sore throat , dizziness , tiredness, nausea, feeling of tiredness are common side effects after extraction of wisdom tooth , as this procedure is traumatic and time-consuming. Burning sensation in your chest is due to the antibiotics taken. Don't panic consult the doctor and change the antibiotic. You can take tab rant ac TDS for hyperacidity. Take complete course of antibiotic and analgesic . Use saline water gargles 3-4 times a day for soothing effect . Maintain good oral hygiene, use chlorhexidine mouthwash gargles twice daily. Take complete rest , avoid stressful jobs. Hope this helps out. Regards..... <|eot_id|> |

i had a cat scan and the radiology s says there is something hanging on my liver, then said it is a mass 5.7 on the liver then said it was a cloud. i do not know what to think he is pushing for a biopsy. i wish to see a liver specialist in my area, sarasota fl what do you think <|eot_id|><|start_header_id|>assistant<|end_header_id|>
Hello Finding suggests SOL(space occupying lesion in liver). It may be due to both benign or malignant reasons. Generally contrast CT scan of abdomen is very helpful in diagnosis but in some cases CT scan is able to diagnose properly. This is the reason that doctors has advised for biopsy. Biopsy can only assess exact nature of lesion. Biopsy is only a short OLD process and there is no need to admission for this process. You may need few blood tests before biopsy.Don't get afraid of biopsy. Probably this is necessary for diagnosis. Take Care Chat Doctor. <|eot_id|> |

So I had a mucocele on my lower lip and had dissolvable stitches on it. Its been about 3 to 4 weeks from the surgery and the stitches are now dissolved but the area where my stitches used to be feels tight and I have lumps on the area. Is this normal? How long will it take to go away? <|eot_id|><|start_header_id|>assistant<|end_header_id|>
Hi ! Good evening. I am Chat Doctor answering your query. Yes. This could be normal elevated tissue of the lip due to reactionary hypertrophy of the tissue to the sutures. It might take more time to get dissolved completely. I would advise you not to fiddle with it with your tongue or otherwise to avoid delay in complete healing. You could go for some antiseptic gargles to keep the area clean, and an anti-inflammatory Chat Doctor. I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts. Thanks for choosing Chat Doctor to clear doubts on your health problems. Wishing you an early recovery. Chat Doctor. <|eot_id|> |

Almost 2 years ago I got all 4 wisdom teeth removed. Since I got them removed, my bottom teeth that were removed I have a bump on both gums where the teeth use to be. I just thought it would go away and kind of forgot about it. Now starting about a month ago it has been bothering me, both sides have a small bump that I can see. It hurts a lot when I eat as well. What could it be? One of them has 2 small dots on it that could possibly maybe be a scab? That one hurts the most. <|eot_id|><|start_header_id|>assistant<|end_header_id|>
Hi, Thanks for asking the query, I would like to tell you that wisdom tooth is the last tooth to erupt in the oral cavity and is difficult to clean and causes inflammation of the surrounding tissue leading to formation of bump. I would suggest you to consult to a Dentist get a checkup done, plan for the removal of the tooth. Take a course of antibiotics and analgesics. At home take lukewarm saline rinses and antiseptic mouthwash gargles. Take care! <|eot_id|> |

Hi Dear, Welcome to Chat Doctor. Understanding your concern. As per your query you have swelling in hands and wrists along with pain. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like standing for prolonged periods of time, taking estrogen or testosterone, antidepressants, blood pressure medications, steroids or NSAIDs, infection in the leg area, venous insufficiency, organ failure or lymphedema. I would suggest you to consult cardiologist for proper diagnosis once again. Doctor may order liver and kidney function test along with heart tests like ECG and complete blood profile. Doctor may alter the dose of diuretics or prescribe substitute. Doctor may also refer you to gastroenterologist in case of liver problem or nephrologist in case of kidney problems. Keep your legs elevated while lying down. Hope your concern has been resolved. Get Well Soon. Best Wishes, <|eot_id|> |

can an ulcer in the mouth turn into a keloid? this is my first time having an ulcer. i do not know how it appeared or how it should look like and it has been there for about two weeks. there is no pain. the upper body of my skin is pretty sensitive. i have two keloids. <|eot_id|><|start_header_id|>assistant<|end_header_id|>
Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query. The ulcers in the oral mucosa won't form scar or keloid because of the fast healing rate of the mucosa. The oral mucosa will not allow the wound to get infected because of the presence of salivary immunoglobulins. There will be fast movement of the neutrophils at the site of injury compare to skin and removes the infection. The other reason could be reduced number of type 1 procollagen in oral mucosa unlike skin which promotes scar formation. Consult an oral physician to rule out what ulcer is that. If it is a major authors ulcer there are chances of scarring, this is the only exception for ulcers. You can take topical steroids like escort ointment. I hope my answer will help you, take care. <|eot_id|> |

For the past 3 months, i feel phlegm is in my chest area. It feels like it wants to come up but Im finding it difficult to cough anything up. I am a singer who suffers from high blood pressure, sleep apnea and early signs of diabetes. its to the point that I can smell the odor from the phlegm even after gargleing and brushing my teeth. Is there any natural home remedy for this? What is your recommendations because I dont like that odor. It also affects my singing as well. <|eot_id|><|start_header_id|>assistant<|end_header_id|>
Hi, *If you feel phlegm in chest want to cough it out, try following things. - Hot saline gargles & Chat Doctor. Take a lot of liquids. - Eucalyptus oil or Menthol breathed in by putting it in boiling water, helps by melting - Ginger piece put in mouth & sucked slowly / Ginger & Jaggard chewed together help expectoration. * If you find the phlegm to be yellow or green, you need to visit a doctor for some antibiotics prescription.

hi , i think i might be pregnant , i have done a pregancy teast but it came back negative , ive got lower back pains , sore breast that have increased in size , headachs and lower cramping pains in my belly , im also really tierd and iritable and have cistitus <|eot_id|><|start_header_id|>assistant<|end_header_id|>
Hello dear, I understand your concern. In my opinion the symptoms of pregnancy are nausea,vomiting, increased urination, sore breasts, tiredness start usually at 6 weeks of pregnancy. But the symptoms alone are not enough to diagnose pregnancy. The urine pregnancy test should be positive along with symptoms. The test is usually positive a week after missed period. So consider doing the test. The sore breasts, pain abdomen, backache can be seen even during the premenstrual phase. So relax and check for period. Avoid stress regarding the thought of pregnancy or anything as it might also make one to feel pregnancy symptoms and delay period due to hormonal imbalance. Best regards... <|eot_id|> |

I have been trying to get pregnant since the last 5 months but everything in vain. Met a gynecologist and she suggested ultrasound follicular study.But when ultrasound scan was done the dominant follicle was 26 mm on 17th day and so my doc was worried. Another ultrasound on 26th day showed ovulation had occured. But inbetween this cycle we had relations. And the next cycle actually wasdelayed by some 5 days which had never previously occured in my case. But unfortunately I got my periods some 5 days later.(As I get my periods regularly and get it exactly on the 29th or 30th day). But during that time i was really stressed and had a heavey workload.Does that mean may be i was about to concieve but something happend? Can you explain this? All the tests including TSH,FSH,Hb,Fasting sugar,prolactin and LH have been done and all the results are very normal. Only that the follicle doesnt ovulate in the normal size. So doctor advised for induced ovulation in the next cycle and i started taking fertylfrom the 5th day of my cycle and continued till the 9th day. When an ultra sound was done on the 12th day, it revealed 2 big follicles one 33mm and the other 27 mm. The 33 mm one she categorised as cyst, but she told me to do an ultra sound the very next day to make sure if ovulation will occur or if the induced ovulation injection can be given.The next day the cyst measuring 33 mm had increased to 38 mm but ther was not much of a change in the 27 mm follicle. So doctor advised me not to take the injection as it looked like some hyper-activity. And wait for another 2 cycles till this subsides. I am worriedbecause of this cyst formation due to the induced ovulution drug that she administered. Will it be a serious problem in future? And is the cyst size of 27mm too large or ripe to even ovulate? should I get into some other medication, or wait and try for another 3 months? <|eot_id|><|start_header_id|>assistant<|end_header_id|>
Hi, the cysts is not much of a problem. They resolve in 2 to 3 months. But I think in your case it is better to start the ultrasound from 2nd day of your periods. It will tell exactly regarding the status of your follicles. You can monitor your cycles every 2 to 3 days. Don't take any medicines. When follicles size reaches 18 to 20 mm, take injection for rupturing the follicles. It will make sure your follicles rupture at a normal size. Be in contact with your husband for 2 to 3 days after injection. Take progesterone for next 2 weeks. Do a urine pregnancy test at home after that. You can try like that for 3 to 6 months. Hope I have answered your question. Regards Chat Doctor. <|eot_id|> |

Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Teenagers are more prone for anxiety and panic disorder. Your symptoms are more suggestive of panic disorder and anxiety. But better to get done ECG and 2d echo first to rule out cardiac cause for symptoms. If both are normal then no need to worry about heart diseases. Consult psychiatrist and get done counselling sessions. Try to identify stressor in your life and start working on its solution. You may need anxiolytic Chat Doctor. Don't worry, you will be alright. Avoid stress and tension, be relaxed and calm. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks. <|eot_id|> |

Hi. I know of a person who has cut his wrist...and received stitches about 1.5 months ago- 24 stitches on his wrist -- now, 1 week ago, he has a lump in the wrist area -- area inbetween joining his palm, to the wrist...so basically the start of the wrist area - do you know what this could be? <|eot_id|><|start_header_id|>assistant<|end_header_id|>
Hello! Welcome to Chat Doctor. Usually it's a ganglion in wrist area, that moves with movement of wrist/fingers. But as you have mentioned that there was a cut & suturing was done and if this is the same area involved now, then it can be an implantation Desmond. Local examination is necessary for accurate diagnosis. Treatment for both is excision under anesthesia witChatDoctorplete removal of cyst wall by your doctor, otherwise recurrence is common. Hope this information is useful to you. Wish you a good health. Thanks. Regards. <|eot_id|> |

For the last three days, somewhere around 4PM, I start getting chills and then my face starts to flush. My temperature then spikes to 103.4 and takes a while to return to normal, usually by 10 PM. Today, due to a cough I think, I have sharp soreness on my left side breathing, moving and to the touch. I have a doctors appointment in the morning, but this is really confounding me. <|eot_id|><|start_header_id|>assistant<|end_header_id|>
Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns. This is obviously infectious disease, and you need medical attention. These are signs of systemic inflammatory response, and you need to do tests to rule out bacteremia and sepsis and then antibiotics should be started. Less likely this may be allergy or autoimmune rash, but further tests are required for diagnosis confirmation. Wish you good health. Kindly regards <|eot_id|> |

I had chest x-rays done back in February , at my local er , and was diagnosed with a viral infection, however I was told to have a followup cat scan done because of intrestial markings in the upper lobes of lungs, I just had the cat done this past week, what are they looking for? <|eot_id|><|start_header_id|>assistant<|end_header_id|>
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. In my opinion they want to rule out any infection present or not in your upper lobes. Usually bilateral upper lobe lesions are seen in infection either present or past infection. And CT SCAN gives much better evaluation of lung infiltration then chest x-ray. Besides infection other causes for bilateral upper lobe reticular pattern are1. Sarcoidosis2. Sillicosis3. OLD (interstitial lung disease) rarely. So CT THORAX is must rule out all these. <|eot_id|> |

Ive had my right wisdom tooth (right underjaw) removed by my dentist last Friday, now Im having these sharp pains in my right tonsil. They last a few seconds, then fade away a bit and come back within the minute. My right ear also aches. Is it normal to have these symptoms after wisdom tooth removal? I wasnt prescribed any anti-biotics at all... <|eot_id|><|start_header_id|>assistant<|end_header_id|>
Hi, Thanks for writing to Chat Doctor. The pain in the ear after dental extraction is not unusual. This could be a referred pain which means the throat, teeth and the ear share similar nerve supply, hence pain in one area can refer to the other. You may not need any antibiotics, but some over the counter pain medicines like ibuprofen and paracetamol will help ease the pain. Also avoid chewing very hard foods and forceful biting. If the pain becomes severe or gets worse, then you should see your dentist to see if you haven't developed any infection at the site of tooth extraction. Hope you have a speedy recovery. <|eot_id|> |

My six yr old son is complaining about leg pain for over 12mth, sometimes he gets a temp with this pain... he is now complaining about back pain along with the leg pain... he is small for his age but lately has been unwell alot and is not long finished a course of steroids and an antibiotic for yet another kidney infection <|eot_id|><|start_header_id|>assistant<|end_header_id|>
Hi... I understand our concern. I definitely feel that your son should undergo complete evaluation as the symptoms are going on since long, and it is related to limb pains along with fever. The possibilities include - 1. Connective tissue disorder.2. Neoplasm related to blood and bone marrow.3. Low vitamin D levels. I suggest you get back to your pediatrician with these tips and get your son evaluated. Regards - <|eot_id|> |

I am having some problems with my taste and smell ,I don t have any. I s been two weeks since my last chemo treatment, I have had four treatments up until now. I have stage four liver cancer and I am taking promethazine for nausae,andgabapentin for nurothopy. Should I be concerned? <|eot_id|><|start_header_id|>assistant<|end_header_id|>
Hi, Thanks for writing in. Stage 4 cancer of liver is advanced disease. It might cause mild symptoms in some patients and others might have severe symptoms. Usually the condition might have a large mass or multiple masses in the liver causing a hard to palpate mass in the abdomen. The mass causes compression of vascular structure including the inferior vent cave and this might lead to blood clots in the vein going to the heart. The veins of the kidneys might also show clots. Few people develop ascites and fluid collection in the abdomen and this is due to the inability of the liver to function normally. The side effects of chemotherapy medicines also have an influence and this might cause neuropathy and nausea with dizziness and pain. Please discuss pain relief with your doctor. Please do not worry. <|eot_id|> |

my Mrs is in Pakistan and i have come back to the united kingdom, she is 3 months pregnant an she has had a high temporature the doctor has told me she has typhoid i am very worried, the have told me they would immunise her 3 times a day for 3 days, is their anything serious to worry about? <|eot_id|><|start_header_id|>assistant<|end_header_id|>
Typhoid in pregnancy, is not a dangerous episode. Hope the doctors have confirmed the diagnosis with a Tidal Test, Blood and stool culture, Ty phi dot and Tube tests, the last two are very sensitive tests and confirmatory. The essential thing is u must have the family members also tested and immunized against typhoid if they are all right. Your wife needs to be treated with an appropriate antibiotic which depends upon the local strains, Usually Augmenting at 625 / 4 times a day for 3 weeks is adequate. As she has already crossed 3 months the effect on the baby of these medicines is not reported. Also, typhoid, will not cause any damage to the baby. <|eot_id|> |

I am having a nerve block for my ribs, I did not fracture them but had a great amount of trauma, the surgeon is going to do a nerve block so that he may manipulate the ribs as they are now overlapping, what is the aftercare for this type of nerve block as I have 4 kids. <|eot_id|><|start_header_id|>assistant<|end_header_id|>
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. You can try following things for rib pain.1. Wear chest belt to immobilize the affected areas of chest.2. Avoid movements causing pain. Avoid sudden jerky movements of chest.3. Avoid heavyweight lifting and strenuous exercise.4. Sit with proper back support.5. Take painkiller and muscle relaxant Chat Doctor. 6. Apply warm water pad on affected areas. Try all these for 1-2 weeks. If you are improving then no need for nerve block. But if you are not improving then go for nerve block. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks. <|eot_id|> |

Hi! I just had a medical procedure done. Lipo of my flanks as well as a profractional laser resurfacing on my face. I am 2 days post op and I just noticed I have a small hard nodule just below my upper jawline. Not quite below my ear (I ve have that before) but closer to my jaw. If that makes any sense. I am going for my post op appointment tomorrow and will most certainly ask my surgeon.... but I m feeling a little panicked about this. Could this mean there is an infection from my facial procedure or Could this be a sign for something more serious. I am on antibiotics. Thank you! . <|eot_id|><|start_header_id|>assistant<|end_header_id|>
Hi Dear, Welcome to Chat Doctor. Understanding your concern. As per your query you have nodule under the jaw line. Well there can be many reasons for such kind of nodule it could be a cyst, a muscle or infection from the procedure. There is nothing to panic. Your saliva moves from a salivary gland through tiny tubes into your mouth. One of these ducts can become damaged or blocked. When this tube get blocked by some foreign particle or blocked after minor injury, gland get swelled and form a lump. You mention that you have appointment tomorrow. I would suggest you to discuss this with your doctor. Doctor may order test like CT scan or MRI to confirm the diagnosis and rule out infection due to procedure or cyst. Doctor may extend the course of antibiotics or Chat Doctor. For now <|eot_id|> |

Memory loss issues. My mom has been experiencing a progressive decline in her short term memory function. She is 78 years old and a heavy smoker. She has recently been prescribed Aricept-5mg in addition to the medications that she is already taking for high cholesterol and blood pressure. Since Aricept, her behavior has been quite erratic, she is more confused and making things up that didnt even happen. I am so worried. She has had brain scans, blood tests, and all seem to come back suggesting that she just has age related brain shrinkage, but no one has said that this could be the beginning, middle or late stages of anything. What additional tests can I request a doctor run to take a closer look. Something is definitely not right with her. <|eot_id|><|start_header_id|>assistant<|end_header_id|>

Hello thanks for using Chat Doctor . I would be pleased to answer your question Swelling in the neck with Tuberculosis is very common. The Lymph nodes are enlarged due to the inflammation in them and can be very painful. FNAC is the method where the needle is inserted, and the cells are studied in the pathology lab to check for inflammation. Cancer is unlikely in his case however the terms / words your doctor will tell you in the reports can be : tumor / malignant/ benign growth / undifferentiated cells etc. It would be best for the Doctor to inform and not for you to remove inferences.

Good evening, I just had an IUI done on monday morning 930am. Sunday morning my RE took blood and u/s revealing the following: right ovary had 4 follicles sizes 10, 11, 10, 14. Left ovary had 2 follicles sizes 11 and 13. Uterine lining 7.4. E2 level 650. sperm count 10 million. I was hyperstimulated in a previous cycle (on varying doses of bravelle), which is why my RE recommended i take the ovidrel shot at 1130am on sunday in preparation for IUI on monday. He did not want to wait another day because of the risk of having too many eggs grow too much. I have been told that my ovaries are rather stubborn...took a while to get my eggs/E2 levels past baseline but when they reach that threshold i appear to blossom, which poses concern for a conservative RE. Within few hours immediately taking ovidrel, i had cramps . The night of my IUI and the day after I felt a full feeling in my uterus (wouldnt necessarily classify this as cramping, perhaps bloating?) My question is....do I actually have a chance of conceiving this cycle? Could I have ovulated within those few hours after taking ovidrel? I am especially concerned because of the size of my follicles and lining thickness. I am going to start taking intravaginal progsterone starting thursday evening. Any advice or input would be greatly appreciated, thank you in advance! <|eot_id|><|start_header_id|>assistant<|end_header_id|>
Hi, Thanks for your query. I read your query and understand your concerns. Following is my reply: If you had pain after taking ovitrelle, its probably ovulation. There I chance of pregnancy. But you know there is no 100 % chance in any infertility procedure. Take progesterone tablets as you have mentioned. There is possibility of conception. I hope I answered your query.

I am a 35 year old male and own a landscape business for 2 years, for the last 6 weeks It has become difficult for me to get through half the day without becoming exhausted (low energy that comes on fairly sudden, slightly shakey, foggy mind kinda like im in a dream) I have cut my hours back and have had employees make up the difference, thinking maby I am working to hard, energy still cuts out half way thru the day. I have had some life changes (seperation, moving to new house, extra debt to support expanding business)but nothing I would consider unmanageable. Any advice? I have setup a health exam with my doctor in September? Could this be physical or phsychological? Any advice from past experiencees?Thanks! <|eot_id|><|start_header_id|>assistant<|end_header_id|>
Hello welcome to Ask A Doctor service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice. You have to rule out anemia first by he estimation. I suggest you to investigate with serum calcium, serum sodium, potassium estimation, serum TSH estimation for primary work up. Got, Sept, urea, creatinine also investigated as toxic metabolite accumulation also sometime can lead fatigue.

Hello, Infected whiteheads are treated with antibiotics to reduce inflammation & infection. Medicated creams, ointments & gels (Benzoyl Peroxide, salicylic acid) also work well. Keep your skin clean, avoid excessive sun exposure, remove makeup before going to bed, refrain from squeezing or scratching the whiteheads. Neglected whiteheads can become acne.

Hi there, I have extreme pain and pressure feeling in my tailbone area as well as my right lower back. I have had an Xray, MRI and bone scan and nobody can see anything wrong. I have had this pain for about 8 months and it is not getting any better only worse? Please help. <|eot_id|><|start_header_id|>assistant<|end_header_id|>
It might be coccydynia since pressure is coming on tail bone apply ice pack for 10-15 mins twice dailyApplying heat or a hot pack to the area after the first few days. Avoiding sitting for prolonged periods, or placing any pressure on the area, as much as possible. A custom pillow to help take pressure off the coccyx when sitting. Some find a donut-shaped pillow works well, and for others it is not the right shape and still puts pressure on the coccyx. Many prefer a foam pillow that is more of a U-shape or V-shape (with the back open so nothing touches the coccyx). Any type of pillow or sitting arrangement that keeps pressure off the coccyx is ideal. If the tailbone pain is caused or increased with bowel movements or constipation, then stool softeners and increased fiber and water intake is recommended. Avoid forward bending avoid Chat Doctor. Gently stretching the ligaments attached to the coccyx can be helpful. A physical therapist, chiropractor, physiatrist or other appropriately trained healthcare practitioner can provide instruction on the appropriate stretches. Ultrasound. Physical therapy with ultrasound can also be helpful for pain relief. Mild manipulation will also help stake care hope you get better soon follow this <|eot_id|> |

Hi, the other day I stubbed my toe at about 11:00 that afternoon at about 1:00 i noticed all the swelling and pain. I think I may have broken it, should I go to the doctors or will it heal by it self and is there anything I can do to make it better. <|eot_id|><|start_header_id|>assistant<|end_header_id|>
Hello, If you doubt you may have broken then taking an X-ray will be the right thing to do. But usually, there won't be any fracture just by hitting the foot as it's the strongest portion of the body due to its weight-bearing functions. Try icing and keep the leg elevated over a pillow and apply crêpe bandage. See how you feel it. If the pain comes down in a day or two then I don't think it will be a fracture. Usually, in most cases, it's a microtrauma to the fibers of the muscles. But they heal with conservative management at home itself. Hope I have answered your query.

I had surgery to remove a lipoma on my back 4 years ago. When the path reports came back I was told I had a liposarcoma and had cancer. I had an mri done and was told I didn t have cancer. now I have another tumor in the same area. it was soft as first, like the first one I had, but turned hard about 1 year ago. After it became hard it has been beyond painful. I m scared. What do you think? <|eot_id|><|start_header_id|>assistant<|end_header_id|>
Hi, Thanks for writing in. There is a bit of confusion in your statement. It is not clear if the path reports consistently said it was a liposarcoma. MRI is a good investigation tool for tumors and shows the size, location, infiltration and any associated structural involvement. The path reports are confirmatory and always have to be matched with the MRI results. If path reports say it was malignant then there is no other way to tell that it isn't one. In view of what is written above and considering that the path reports were altered subsequently, the appearance of a new tumor in the area requires CT or MRI scan and an image guided biopsy from the active region of the tumor. This is essential to know if there is a locally aggressive process going on and if it should be treated. The pain can be due to nerve entrapment by the tumor and that must also be looked in to. A biopsy is the final confirmation in your case. There is no need to get scared as it can also be a focus of chronic infection in the operated area. Please do not worry. <|eot_id|> |

Thanks for posting your query here. It seems your son suffered from viral pericarditis. It is usually caused by the virus which also causes common cold.

Thanks for posting on Chat Doctor. Unfortunately you have not mentioned the age and weight of your child which would have significance in determining the cause of vomiting. The cause of vomiting in a newborn is likely to be different from that in a child of 1 year of age. Moreover, the dietary habits are also important. Vomiting is more likely in case of a formula fed infant than that of an exclusively breastfed infant.ORS should be given to a child in order to balance the salt and water lost through vomiting. In case the child is breastfed, breastfeeding should be continued and given more rather than giving ORS. Exist or coastal are supposed to reduce the frequency of vomiting. If the child is not well, often the child does not feed well. Blood should be tested to see if the CRP is elevated and if so, the child may require to be hospitalized.

Dearbleeding per nose might be related to the blood thinners.However at initial stage we can try for an ice-cold compress over nose with a cotton or gauze pack and positioning your self in bed.However, it is important, if this bleeding prolongs, and we need to check for the vitals, and need a consultation, as there might be other underlying causes as well. Hope this helps most welcome for further queries. <|eot_id|> |

Hi, I had all four wisdom teeth removed December 28th 2011 and at first there was a kind of an over-bite? Well, now there is a considerable amount of swelling and redness around my gums on the left side. When I brush, it hurts and when I eat and drink it s really sensitive. I m kind of scared it s gingivitis but I have always had an extremely healthy dental record. I know I need to see my dentist but is there anything I can do now to relieve the swelling and pain? <|eot_id|><|start_header_id|>assistant<|end_header_id|>
Hi.there may be two cause due to which you are having pain and swelling on the left side after removal of wisdom tooth.1.there may be distal pocket formation between your gum mucosa and 2nd molar, where plaque is getting accumulated and leading to pain and swelling.2.sometimes the distal cusps of upper 2nd molar may impinge over the lower mucosa. Visit your dentist and go for curettage if there is pocket formation. For tooth impingement enameloplasty can be done. Wish u good health <|eot_id|> |

You take iron rich diet like every, dates, green leafy vegetables, Chat Doctor. And take oral iron supplement tablets which you are already taking.it will increase your iron level and he level.

hi, i have lower back pain, my feet are tingly, sometimes i cant feel them, i am only 30, but feel like old lady, i cant normally walk with my kids.....i was to my gp, he give me exercises and strong pain killers, but pain killers not fix the problem....i have this problem nearly 5 years, and it is going worse...i am very active - running, aerobic, salsa dancing, but back is stil in pain..... <|eot_id|><|start_header_id|>assistant<|end_header_id|>
Hi, Thanks for your query. After going through your query I came to know that you are suffering from chronic backache. It may be due to vitamin and trace element deficiencies specially vitamin D and vitamin B 12. You need to do MRI to rule out other causes. Back exercises, neurotrophic such as mecobalamine and analgesics (DICLOFENAC 100 MG SLOW RELEASE TABLETS) give relief. Sometimes vitamin D deficiency can aggravate this so serum vitamin D test is advised, if it is lower than vitamin D supplementation will be required. Avoid long continuous standing. Sit in a straight posture. Eat milk, fruits and green leafy vegetables daily. You can discuss with your treating Doctor about it. I do hope that you have found something helpful, and I will be glad to answer any further query. Take care. <|eot_id|> |

Hi. My husband has been having sharp chest pain right in the middle of the chest. It especially hurts when he bends over or breathes deeply. He also feels very bloated. This has been going on for 48 hours. Is this just gas or something I should be more concerned about? <|eot_id|><|start_header_id|>assistant<|end_header_id|>
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Yes, possibility of gas related pain is more. He is mostly having acute gastritis and gaseous distention of stomach which is causing such pain. So give him proton pump inhibitors and prokinetic Chat Doctor. Ask him to avoid hot and spicy food. Avoid junk food. Ask him to avoid large meals, instead take frequent small meals. Quit smoking and alcohol if he is having these habits. Don't worry, he will mostly improve with all these. If not improving then get done chest x-ray to rule out internal pathology. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your husband.

Hello Dr. I have lower back pain on the left side. I do not get constant pain. It is only when I sit on the floor or do some exercise. I just took tylenol last night and am experiencing relatively less pain, but do have some stiffness. Please help me. Also, I am a little drowsy since morning and am not sure if that is because of the medicine. <|eot_id|><|start_header_id|>assistant<|end_header_id|>
Hello and thank you for the question. The reason you have back pain while sitting in the floor or exercising is because in those conditions the back muscles maximally come into play. To answer your other question yes one of the known side effects of Tylenol is Chat Doctor. Here are my suggestions:1) switch from Tylenol to flexion MR 500 mg twice a day2) Avoid rigorous exercise for 3 weeks3) Ice pack to your lower left back after exercise hope it helps. <|eot_id|> |

I am 28 years old and I have had chin hair for several years now. I started with threading the few stray hair that I had but I felt the skin becoming dark. I started waxing on my own and felt the skin become smoother and the hair much more manageable. Unfortunately I started using an epilator and now there are dark spots on the chin where the hair grows and also the hair is very thick and dark. I need help to get rid of the dark burnt like spots and the skin there is very dry. Also, I dont know if regular waxing will help me even out the growth. Please help. It is quite a depressing feeling and I FYI I suffer from hormonal imbalance. <|eot_id|><|start_header_id|>assistant<|end_header_id|>
As per Ayurveda is concerned your problem is related with blood+Shaka Doha+NASA that+Kafka. Are you suffering from any menstrual abnormalities?Do you think your problem is started since you got your periods? First stop your own remedies. Any chemical composition is harmful to your skin & periods. This problem may also be related with your digestive system. So that your ayurvedic physician has to think with all these regards. Any hormonal imbalance is also due to the Trisha the main cause of any disease. For application =Multan Matt+Manisha+Lankan+Lola plasma will do. <|eot_id|> |

I have Hashimoto Encephalopathy of the brain and I am on 120 mg of prednisone each Sunday (which is push therapy.) but the nuerologist is thinking of redusing the prednisone and adding azathriprone . I was just wondering with the AZA drug would you be able to tan. I love the sun and live in Arkansas and was just wondering. I also have a colostomy bag (4 years now) permanent and also MS and also take phenebarbitol for a seizure disorder but have not had one in over 20 years. The nuero I have had heard on HE but had never met anyone that had it until he met me so does not know a lot about it so we are doing trial and error and we have a facebook page and he has me print things off when I see him every three months. I know that the prednisone is not good for me so was just thinking of something else to tell him. It will be 2 years this Sept since I have been on prednisone every week. <|eot_id|><|start_header_id|>assistant<|end_header_id|>
Hello, I read carefully your question. Hashimoto encephalopathy is an autoimmune disease which is associated with thyroiditis. Patients with this condition respond most of the time very well to the corticosteroid therapy, and that's why the condition is also known as steroid responsive encephalopathy associated with autoimmune thyroiditis. In the cases that the steroid therapy isn't successful, immunosuppresses are used like azathioprine, methotrexate, cyclophosphamide or even plasmapheresis or intravenous immunoglobulins. When taking azathioprine, like any other immunosuppress, one must be very careful about the skin, because the risk of suffering from skin cancer is greater during this kind of treatment. You have to use very high sun protection (over 30 UV factors), avoid sunbathing especially the midday hours (11am-3pm). Also, even if you're getting good care of your skin you have to control frequently, every week) if there are changes in your ski, and you have to report any skin lesion or new scars to your doctor and the dermatologist. I hope I've been of help. You can contact me again for further questions, I would be pleased to assist you. <|eot_id|> |

I have avascular necrosis of the left hip and was diagnosed when I was 13 mos sober. ye I saw a specialist when I was 14 mos sober and he said that it would probably grow back. Is this true? Also, my PCP, after getting the diagnosis thought that I had started drinking again, but I haven t. It upset me very much that she thought this way. I don t think she understands about the recovery process and I don t think she should have patients who have addictions. What do you think?

Hello, The treatment depend on the avascular necrosis stage. In early stages, core decompression with or without bone graft is typically considered the most appropriate treatment. In late stages, characterized by collapse, femoral head deformity, and secondary osteoarthritis, total hip arthroplasty is the most appropriate treatment. Hope I have answered your query.

So, a detailed evaluation and appropriate investigations are needed to establish the correct diagnosis of your problem. Hope this information is helpful. Good day <|eot_id|> |

Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor. There are many causes for left sided abdominal pain. Even you may have gastric ulcer. That may be a cause for your pain. Appendix lies on right lower qua Chat Doctor. Appendicitis cause abdominal pain with fever, nausea, vomiting. I think you do not have any fever or vomiting. Kidney stones may be the cause for your abdominal pain. If it is very small i.e. less than 4 mm can pass spontaneously. Medical exclusive therapy (MET) like Alpha blockers can remove stone of 5 to 8 mm. More than 8 mm need intervention. So it is size of the stone is important. Consult your nephrologist for further management. Hope this helps. Take care. <|eot_id|> |

Hi, I Am mr A chakraborty, here I am writing about My wife.Mrs. Subarna Mukherjee. Age - 30 years Blood group - B+ Married on - April 2002Subarna had 2 missed abortions:First was in Dec 2004. The pregnancy was not planned. When she missed her periods a test confirmed the news. She went straight to the doctor and was put on Folic acid tablets and led a very constricted life. At the same she had a throat infection and slight fever and took some medicines which were preg safe. After four weeks the scan did not show a fetal heart beat and soon after she spotted blood which passing urine. She was put on Susten (100mg 1-0-1 x 7 days) tabs and Protasi (2000 1amp) which reduced the spotting temporarily but shortly afterwards clots of large quantiy appeared and she had to undergo an emergency DNC.Doctor - Indira Reddy; Sagar Apollo Hospital, Bangalore.Second was in late 2006After trying to concieve for two months in vain she consulted the doctor and was suggested Microgest (100mg), EC 350, M2 Tone, A Sugar (500mg), FAS 3 KIT and Clofert (50mg). With the help of above medicines she could conceive in Oct 2006. From day one when the preg test was positive (LMP - 11/9/2006) she was put on ChatDoctor (5000) injection along with Microgest (200mg), Ecosprin (75mg) and ofcourse Folic Acid. After 6 weeks the Ultrasound did not show a fetal heart beat and the report said missed abortion. There was no blood spotting yet. She continued with usual ChatDoctor and Microgest for one more week.

Hi welcome to Chat Doctor. I have gone through your question. As you had two miscarriages rule out any pathology in both reproductive system. Yes blockage in tube cause infertility. But your one tube is patent so from that your wife can conceive. I would advise making confirm that ovary from patent tube side is ovulating or not. Consult gynecologist for further treatment options like GUI intrauterine insemination or IVF invited fertilization. Hope I answered your question. Would be happy to help you further.

Hi there, Thanks for asking your query, First let me tell you diagnosis and treatment in dentistry is related to photographs and x-rays(since it involves hard tissue). They may be lymph nodes which are swollen. When the body goes through an infection or illness, the lymph nodes tend to become swollen, including those located around the jawline. Being an integral part of the immune system, these lymph nodes work in over Chat Doctor. (or) it can be abscessed associated with your back tooth. Please visit a dentist for the needful, or he might refer it to a physician. Get well soon regards, <|eot_id|> |

Hi Doctor, i was just told my daughter in-law took their new born 2 week old daughter to hospital last night...they found her foaming at the mouth and choking in her crib. She also has a red rash. Now 11 hours later she is hooked up with monitors etc but no other episode has occurred? She is a breast fed baby. <|eot_id|><|start_header_id|>assistant<|end_header_id|>
The condition of the greatest concern is infection affecting the brain. The coughing and foaming can occur as the result of a seizure that occurs because of the infection. Especially at that age, it is critical that the child be thoroughly evaluated and treated immediately, so its very good she's in the hospital. Quick treatment can be lifesaving and also minimize any damage. The appearance of the rash is highly suspicious for infection as the underlying cause. <|eot_id|> |

Hi I did review your concern. Can you please send us the complete blood report to comment more on your platelet count? Low platelet counts can be due to many reasons like a recent infection, or idiopathic (ITP) or immunological destruction or low production or bone marrow infiltration by any process. We need to have a look at your report and if it is below 1 lakChatDoctorm then a bone marrow aspirate is advised to see if it is megakaryocytic or not. Then there is treatment available to increase platelet count in form steroids or splenectomy or romiplostim and so on, but it depends on diagnosis.I hope this helps. Wish you all the best. Thank you for using Chat Doctor. <|eot_id|> |

Hi, I got some patched over my face, When i consulted a doctor, i was suggested to use sunban cream and propysalic acid. It turned into black. Then one of my friend suggested me to use cosmelite cream, I just used it and balck skin was peeled off and turned into red and it is burning.. Can you please suggest me if any. <|eot_id|><|start_header_id|>assistant<|end_header_id|>
Hi, Due to inadvertent use of skin creams, you have done more harm to your skin. It seems due to improper application of the above-mentioned skin creams, you developed an irritant reaction. Right now you need to apply a steroid cream like mometasone cream where your skin has peeled off. It will not only reduce burning but also alleviate the redness. Stop using all the other creams for a while. The area of redness might heal with slight pigmentation which can surely be treated later on. Please consult a dermatologist only for any skin condition and do not practice self-medication. Take care. <|eot_id|> |

Hi Dear, Welcome to Chat Doctor. Understanding your concern. As per your query you have tingling & pain in fingers.

If condition doesn't get well then consult orthopedic surgeon for proper examination. Doctor may order CT scan or MRI along with take history.

Hi, my son is 10 years old and is generally healthy, he has an Asthma cough occasionally. I am worried and made an appointment to see a doctor as he has been vomiting. It has become a bit of a habit as it happens every 4-5 days and tends to be an hour after he has eaten! He is also quite sensitive to smells and that can make him vomit. There is no blood in his vomit and he doesn t have diarrhoea. What do you think it might be? <|eot_id|><|start_header_id|>assistant<|end_header_id|>
Hello. Thank you for asking at Chat Doctor. I went through your sons history and would like to make following suggestions for him:1. From your history, I would first think of gastroesophageal reflux disease (HERD) and food allergy.2. Were I treating him, I would prescribe him antacid like sanitizing or omeprazole before each meal for at least 2 weeks. If his symptoms are improved, I would continue the same for at least 6-8 weeks.3. I would also suggest him to avoid hot, spicy foods, teas & coffees and chocolates. 4. if he does not improve, I would suggest testing him for food allergies. Hope above suggestions will be helpful to him. Should you have any further query, please feel free to ask at Chat Doctor. Wish your son the best of the health. Thank you & Regards. <|eot_id|> |

So about 4 years ago, I fell on my tail bone while rollerblading. Went to the my doc and he said that itll go away with time. It hasnt. 4 years now and nothing has improved. I have two kinds of pain. A sharp one, that usually happens when Im mensturating or constipated and a dull one, usually when Im sitting on the floor or on a chair. In addition I that, I have back pain (mostly lower) when Im standing for too long or when I lift something heavy. I have no idea what is wrong and I have done all kinds of tests, from x-rays to MRI. Almost every possible test. And nothing! I just wanna know what is causing this pain? And what I can do about it? I try not to take medication unless I absolutely need it. <|eot_id|><|start_header_id|>assistant<|end_header_id|>
Hi, When you fell on your tail bone, you have damaged the bones and muscles and nerves passing by. Coincidentally, the nerves and muscles are related to the internal organs like uterus or bowel. So, when you menstruate or strain due to constipation, you are putting more pressure to the affected area, thus, increasing the pain. I'd suggest to - do vaginal swab testing to exclude vaginal infection-urine analysis to rule out urinary tract infection-try to avoid being constipated everything is ok, then, it is most probably due to fall. So, have patience and your everything will be over Can take painkillers (locally or orally) and Chat Doctor. All the best! <|eot_id|> |

hi i am a 27 female i have a polyp on my spine and i have had a headache for a month straight now with about 20 mins a day without a headache i have been dizzy and throwing up. i had a cat scan done and that came out clear when i went to the ER for the Headache but i had forgotten about the polyp becuase of the pain in my head i haven t thinking clearly do you think the polyp on my spine could be causing me headaches? <|eot_id|><|start_header_id|>assistant<|end_header_id|>
Hi, Thank you for posting your query. I do not think your spinal problem is related to your headaches. Headaches are most likely to be due to migraines, which NI addition to causing headaches, can cause dizziness and vomiting. Normal scan is reassuring news. You may take sumatriptan tablet to reduce the headaches. Preventive treatment would be required if you get frequent headaches. Please get back if you require any additional information.

Hi, i went to the nurse the other day and had a smear. While doing this i asked her to look for the strings of my marina coil and she could not see them. The doc had a look also and she could not find the device. I have to go for a scan today to see if they can find it and to see if i,m pregnant. Im very worried as I was not trying for a baby and have been drinking wine and have not been taking any folic acid. if it is the case i am will the baby be effected by this and will they remove the coil. <|eot_id|><|start_header_id|>assistant<|end_header_id|>
Hi, thanks for posting your concern in the Chat Doctor. Most commonly the IRENA string becomes invisible when it has hot displaced from its site of lodgment. Your doctor has correctly advised you to have a scan to find the exact location of the IRENA coil. And it should be considered as an emergency. So, scan should be done as early as possible. If it has got displaced or by any chance removed, there is chance that you may be pregnant. In that case chance of ectopic pregnancy is higher. An ultrasound scan can rule out that possibility. In case you become pregnant, and the fetus remains in the usual normal position, consumption of alcohol and no folic acid intake definitely poses risk of development of neural tube defect (NTD). Hence, if there is normal uterine pregnancy, and you want to continue with that, immediate commencement of Folic acid would be needed, and Anomaly scan should be done as per schedule. But, above all, the first thing you need is to locate the missed coil and hence please have the scan done at the earliest. In case you have any new query in the future, you can directly ask me questions @ http://www.ChatDoctor .com/doctors/ Chat Doctor. <|eot_id|> |

Hello, I ve got a question about a skin rash . My husband has diabetes and has been taking metformin for 3 years. In the last two days he d developed a skin rash that itches very much. It usually starts in the evening for him. He has not taken his metformin today. He also has a stomach cramps, diarrhoea and is unable to eat. He had earlier developed the same type of allergy to chloroquinone. Thank you for your reply in advance. <|eot_id|><|start_header_id|>assistant<|end_header_id|>
Hello,1. Please ensure there is no gastroenteritis (bacterial) with a stool routine/ culture studies. If there is fever, he will need a complete blood count, CRP, liver function tests. 2. Metformin itself can cause cramps, diarrhea.3. A stat capillary glucose check is important.4. Itchy skin rash can be taken care with antihistamines such as cetirizine 10 mg or Exocet 5 mg. People with diabetes can get a fungal skin rash that is variably itchy and not much red, for which antifungal creams are required. See your doctor if the antihistamine tablets do not help.

Could i be pregnant? <|eot_id|><|start_header_id|>assistant<|end_header_id|>
Hi, Thanks for the query. I have gone through your query & understand your concern. You had unprotected sex 2 weeks before your periods. That falls in fertile phase of menses. You had very light bleeding during your periods at scheduled time... but it was scanty. Such bleeding is most likely to be implantation bleeding. So yes, such bleeding can be sign of pregnancy. Please confirm after 8 days delay in your menses. <|eot_id|> |

Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Phenol is irritant to mucous membrane. So on ingestion, it is likely to damage esophageal mucosa. While ingestion, some Phenol might have aspirated in trachea and lungs. So Phenol ingestion is likely to damage esophageal and tracheal mucosa. Damage to esophageal mucosa causes ulceration and burning chest pain. Damage today respiratory mucosa will cause inflammation of the airways and bronchitis. This bronchitis is the likely cause for his breathing difficulty. Usually these all are self limiting in 1-2 days. Ask patient to Chat Doctor. Avoid hot and spicy food. Take pantoprazole tablet on empty stomach. He will mostly improve with all these. If breathlessness worsens or chest pain increases with vomiting then immediately consult doctor. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your patient. Thanks. <|eot_id|> |

I recently became involved with a man who is grieving from the loss of a long term relationship. It as been 1 1/2 years. I do not know how to be supportive.

Degree understand your concerns went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. Losing a close person is necessarily sad and grief is natural. But for how many days or months? This needs sincere answer. The man you are speaking about is under severe grief because he does not have anyone else to give the same affection he experienced earlier (Mind you, Every person goes through bereavement and almost everyone accepts it as part of life. This happens with other people supports. Also, the bereaved person slowly tries to ignore the negative thoughts when he starts working again). Your man do not have any other intimate relationship and I think he is idle nowadays. Both multiplies the problem. You can be with him, give him love and affection, and slowly he should start talking to you and accept you. God is great. Time is a great healer. Please post a direct question to me in this website. Make sure that you include every minute details possible. I shall prescribe some psychotherapy techniques which should help you cure your men condition. Hope this answers your query.

I just went in to the ER a couple of days ago because I lifted a potted plant and injured my back. I was diagnosed with Sciatica Neuralgia, Right. The pain is intense, but is better if I lay down. This morning I woke up and the numbness in my right buttocks, front right leg and front genital area was intensified and felt like someone was pouring acid on them(definite intense burning). It is more severe depending on what position I am in. I have read online about Cauda Equina syndrome and it has slightly concerned me just because of the burning and numbness in my genital region specifically - although I understand that it is quite rare. I have been able to urinate, but have not had a bowel movement since Monday.

Hi, The symptoms you are having looks like VPCS, which is extra beats originating from places other than the normal conducting system of the heart. I'll advise you to get an ECG and 24hr Holder monitoring done, after which only we can ascertain the diagnosis. This could also be some abnormal arrhythmia so kindly do those tests. I'll also advise you to get a 2D Echo done to rule out any possible cardiac related abnormality. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

I have been to the dentist for a sore tooth that was recently capped. Everything looked fine. I then noticed a swollen lymph gland in my throat and went to my doctor who put me on antibiotics. Its been about 5 days and the tooth is still bothering me. What do I do now? <|eot_id|><|start_header_id|>assistant<|end_header_id|>
Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query. The pain could be because of the tooth infection if the root canal treatment has not been done for the capped tooth get it root canal treated. Consult your oral physician for complete examination and rule out any gum infection around that tooth or neighbor tooth. meanwhile take a course of antibiotics and analgesics, do saline gargling. I hope my answer will help you. Take care. <|eot_id|> |

Yes. I have bowed legs and I was wondering if I got a brace if that would help straighten permanently? My back is pretty bad and I am 21 years old. By the time I qualify for surgery the extensive damage will already be done. If a brace is a good idea, what type should I get? <|eot_id|><|start_header_id|>assistant<|end_header_id|>
Hi, There is no medicine or brace which is likely to help you in correcting bow legs at this age. If bow legs are troubling you then get them corrected surgically corrected-only the deformity and not the joint part. It will help you in reducing the joint damage also, and now we have methods where you do not have to in bed rest also. Please discuss with your doctor. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Chat Doctor. <|eot_id|> |

Okay, so this is my first time asking a doctor online. Im 14 years old and have a lump on the shaft of my penis under the foreskin. I really dont know what it is Im not sexually active or anything, if you could please tell me if I should get it checked out or not please tell because I am worried, thanks. <|eot_id|><|start_header_id|>assistant<|end_header_id|>
Hi, Thanks for writing in. It is better to get a doctor to see the lump under the foreskin of penis. Many times it is difficult to confirm a diagnosis without clinical examination. Prob what you have mentioned it is probable that you have a milf infection under skin if the lump is painful. If there is no pain then it is important to know whether the changes are a part of normal growth in you. The penis changes in appearance during puberty, and it is important to know if the changes you are referring to are a part of normal growth. Please do not worry. <|eot_id|> |

im married with 2 kids. i recently had a pelvic ultrasound which shows endometrial thickness of 3.6mm is it normal? ive sticky white discharge and my recent papsmear shows mild dysplasia and trichomonas infection. there is any chance for cancer??????? <|eot_id|><|start_header_id|>assistant<|end_header_id|>
Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor, The Pap smear shows infection with trachomas vaginal is. It is possible to get reactive and atypical cells on Pap smear in the presence of infection. You need to take treatment for trachomas and then get Pap test done again. If there are no abnormal cells on repeat Pap smear, they were probably due to infection. If they still persist then you need to follow up. A thickened endometrium can be due to hyperplasia or due to cancer. You can get endometrial curettage/ endometrial biopsy to look for hyperplasia, atypical or malignant change. You need to consult your gynecologist with the reports. Thanks and take care Chat Doctor. <|eot_id|> |

I am getting discomfort in my right hip area - has been a reoccurring problem for about a year - probably comes and goes every few months and lasts about a week - I work in a job where heavy lifting is involved. The pain is more of a dull ache and seems to be in the muscle tissue - I get some relief when I push my thumb into the top of my buttocks but its only temporary. Its fine when I sit but when I walk or lay it begins to cause discomfort. Apart from the aching in the hip area there is also some lower back pain (right buttock) and a dull ache into my groin, almost like its numb and just recently the inner thigh muscle has started to twitch. When I walk I will sometimes limp - seems like the longer i walk for the better it feels but the main issue is laying down - I was up most of last night as I couldnt sleep due to discomfort - mainly a pain in my lower back above right buttock. The best position I found was to sleep on my right with my pelvis chest and head in line and legs bent at knee. If I attempt to sleep on my back my lower back aches and if I sleep on my left it seems like the weight of my leg pulls the hip muscles and causes discomfort from right hip area spreading to my lower back. Also hurts if I lay on my front. Seems like the best temporary relief is kneeding fingers into my lower back area just where the buttocks meet. <|eot_id|><|start_header_id|>assistant<|end_header_id|>
Hi friend, Welcome to Chat Doctor One year is long enough to seek medical opinion. You must see an Orthopaedician / you may need MRI of lower spine.In the meantime, NSAID and muscle relaxant may help... The description favors muscle spasm. Physiotherapist can help...they also can teach the technique of lifting weight with minimal strain... Instructors in many Gyms could also do this... Yoga may help... Take tarnishing speedy recovery God bless Good luck <|eot_id|> |
