Hello doctor,My son is 10 years old. Since one year, he has been urinating in his pants in school and often arguing with adults and sometimes with other kids. He has once threatened me that he would commit suicide. He tells people he is a "master manipulator" and that there is nothing wrong with him. He has been seeing a counselor once a week for about a year, and she has twice diagnosed him with ADHD. He has no problems paying attention and is not hyperactive or fidgety. I do not feel this diagnosis is accurate. We have been trying to have an appointment with a psychologist for the past five months and have got one recently. In the meanwhile, we are hoping to find some answers. What could be going wrong on with him? | If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. | Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor forum. I understand your concern. From your description, there are two things which come to my mind apart from the ADHD (attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder). One is ODD (oppositional defiant disorder), and the other one is a conduct disorder. But, your description does not suffice the above diagnoses. For this, I need more data and a detailed description of his behaviors. Since how long has he has been exhibiting such behavior? Such behaviors need early treatment with medications and counseling. Psychotherapies can effectively control and prevent the child from doing something dangerous. So, I suggest you continue with your current treatment and consult a psychiatrist. All the best. Regards.

I can understand your concern. No need to worry about major heart or lung related diseases as you are too young (13 years) for them. Your bilateral chest pain is mostly due to musculoskeletal pain.

My 8 year old daughter has a gastric bug and has been vomiting since 1:00am on sunday. She vomited dark green bile on tuesday. this is day 6 and she had dark brown clots in her vomit today. Showed this to the gp. She had a very small nose bleed this morning which resolved very quickly and only left 3 spots of blood on the tissue. the gp states that this is the cause of the blood in her 2 episodes of vomiting 4 hours later. How does he know this is the case an it is not a gi bleed? thanks | If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. | Generally in GI bleed the feces would have come black which you have not reported.

Ok, I need to know what would cause a leg and foot to swell up 4 times its normal size. The foot and leg became so large, it was having eruptions of liquid like volcanos. And all this occurred within a 2 hour period. This happened to me several years ago and was diagnosed as cellulitus. I was put on 4 IVs of antibiotics overnight. The typical blood poisoning red traces were visible slowly moving up my leg. They mentioned that it could have been a spider bite or something infecting the little toe where it started. I have been researching cellulitus and brown recluse spider bites and none of the symptoms described are what I had. So now I am confused as to what may have happened to cause such a bizarre affliction. Any ideas? | If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. | Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor. Many of the spider bites usually do not cause much harm except for some spiders like black widow spider and brown recluse spider. Your symptoms are suggestive of a brown recluse spider bite where the skin around the bite wound swells and reddens due to a local reaction. Such wounds should be cleaned thoroughly to avoid secondary bacterial infection. Based on the symptoms you have mentioned in your query, I suspect the above scenario where your wound was not attended to in time and secondary bacterial infection has occurred leading to cellulitis. Cellulitis is caused by bacteria like staphylococcus and streptococcus. You were correctly treated by broad spectrum antibiotics as cellulitis spreads very fast and cause septicemia. Hope I have helped you with this answer. Thanks. |
Recently my heart has been pounding very hard immediately after standing. I am a 43 yr old man that smokes and drinks, but not heavily. I did have some anxiety from stress several months ago, but this heart pounding is not the same symptoms. I have trouble catching my breath, it feels like my heart is racing, but it isn t really, just pounding through my chest and throat. I typically can make it feel better by taking deep breaths. I was wondering if it is a lack of oxygen in my blood? Maybe not resting fully. But they I noticed below that tachycardia may be the cause? I have had ECG s and have worn a heart monitor and there is nothing seemingly wrong with my ticker. I can also almost feel when it is going to happen as my legs feel like i just ran a sprint. My quads ache like they are full of latic acid. Any suggestions? Thank you | If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. | Hi Thereafter going through your query I understand your concern.

I received a gingival graft on my lower teeth and was prescribed Etodolac, as an anti-inflammatory, and Amoxycillin, as an antibiotic.

Hello doctor,I have developed anxiety problems due to severe work-related stress. I work in the IT services with timings from 2 PM to 11 PM. So, I go to bed by 1 AM and wake up around 6.45 AM every day. Due to stress, I am having palpitations. I had a full echo, ECG, and a treadmill test to rule out cardiac problems and the results were normal. I was advised Betacap 20 mg and Restyl 0.25 each once a day. I have been taking these medications for close to one and a half years now. However, during a Siddha camp in our office for stress, they reviewed my medications and have advised me to take Ashwagandha 400 mg twice, one in morning and night each along with my allopathy medications.

Pain and swelling in inguinal area (or better pain and some kind of lump) may be caused by inguinal hernia. Especially when it hurts during coughing. In inguinal area there are also lymph nodes which can be painful and enlarged when inflammation process is in this lymph nodes area. It can be located on same side leg for example. If your son is having a fever this diagnoses is more probable. One more thing - by inguinal region I understand a region where an abdomen ends and a leg begins. If the pain is a little higher, there is a need to look for a disease in abdominal cavity. If it's a right side where the surgery was performed, intro abdominal adhesions are possible, and intestine partial obstruction must be ruled out. Also, there is always a probability of post-operative hernia. What should be done is: blood tests for inflammation signs, ultrasound of abdomen and inguinal area and if lymph nodes will turn out enlarged, biopsy is necessary. Take care |

Please do suggest and guide us. Thanks a lot, looking forward to hear you. regards. | If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. | Hello there! As they say prevention is better than cure.

Hepatitis is transmitted via blood or blood products, body fluids and from mother to child. Infection can be prevented by taking Hepatitis vaccination which is freely available. A person infected with Hepatitis B and Australia antigen positive may not be symptomatic and aggressive treatment is not required except for having a healthy lifestyle. If symptomatic then treatment is accorded as per the symptoms and immunoglobulins are also used. If you are not vaccinated by now then get your blood Bag test done and if negative then get vaccinated at your earliest to prevent the risk of getting infected. Take care! |

I have been diagnosed with hypothyroidism (I also have 2 goiters/cysts) and a hiatal hernia w/ moderate reflux. I am on a thyroid medicine and prilosec...although I dont have/get heartburn. My question is that I have a constant fullness feeling and difficulty breathing or getting a deep breath....much worse during exercise and eating and laying down to sleep. Does this make any sense? Is it related to the hernia? By the way, Im in good shape, exercise 5x/week, so overweight is not a problem. | If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. | Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Yes, hiatal hernia with moderate reflux can cause bronchitis (inflammation of airways) and this in turn causes chest tightness, breathing difficulty etc. So better to consult pulmonologist and get done clinical examination of respiratory system and PFT (Pulmonary Function Test).PFT will not only diagnose bronchitis, but it will also tell you about severity of the disease and treatment is based on severity only. You will mostly improve with inhaled bronchodilators (formoterol or albuterol) and inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) (budesonide or fluticasone).Don't worry, you will be alright with all these. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks. |

I was diagnosed with bronchiectasis four years ago. Since then I have had pneumonia four times. Last week I was exposed to a lot of outdoor smoke and my chest and throat felt raw. I had pain in my ribs and that was made worse by touching. No fever or sweating. Saw my doctor and he xrayed two days ago.

I continue to have a dry cough when outside or at night time. | If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. | Hi welcome to Chat Doctor... You had bronchiectasis before 4 year. In that by obstruction and so collection of secretion chances of infection more. So you had developed pneumonia thereafter.

Avoid smoking and air pollution like respiratory irritant.... For congestion relief eucalyptus lozenges helpful... Echinacea herbal product that resist infection and improve immune system. Take care.

My upper back in the spine area hurts when i turn my head or try to get out of bed. I fell on my neck on a trampoline yesterday. I have no tingling sensations anywhere and everything moves fine. Could it just be a bruised or pulled or sprained "something"? | If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. | The most obvious cause of the pain is the trauma from the fall. That is a delicate area to injure in the way you did so, any type of movement or manipulation of the neck could cause pain and discomfort. I would recommend having a doctor check it out to be sure you have not seriously damaged anything. At the very least they will be able to give you specific instructions to rehab, possibly use ice to cool the strain down, and provide temporary immobilization IF that is considered appropriate for your condition. Please rate this encounter with a 5 STAR choice and if you have further questions please contact me at: XXX |
Hello, I have a few bumbs that are located on ny chest from the top, down to the bottom of my rib cage, just above my stomach. Thy dont hurt. I had them for years. But now ive found a lump right below my rib cage on the right side. Are these two things serious? How did I get them? & besides seeing a doctor what am I looking at for removal of these 5 bumbs and one lump in total? | If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. | Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. Clinical examination is needed for diagnosis of bump on chest wall. But since you had these from years, and they are harmless, it looks like lipoma. Lipoma is benign swelling containing fat tissue only. It is rarely malignant. Most of the time surgery is not required but if cosmetic reason than remove it surgically. So consult general surgeon and get it removed if you have cosmetic reason otherwise no need to do anything. |

I live in a small town and I can not drive myself to the Doctor - due to visual impairments. So its not easy to get one from him | If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. | Hi and sorry about what you are going through. You carry solucortel just in case you need some more steroid hormones to cope with stressful situations. The body normally increases the production of steroid hormones during stress. Because you have Addison disease, this is impossible for you and we will need the external administration of this. You may need this in situations like an accident, loss of a dear one, going through some very difficult moments, severe illness etc. Getting a new one is best from a pharmacy. However, you may use any syringe if you must use it now and there is no other way of getting around the problem. I strongly recommend that you do all to get the advised syringe as soon as possible, too. Wish you a good health. All the best in all your endeavors to get the new syringe. |
I have had lower back pain (I thought it was due to my cats not giving me much room on my side of the bed) this started 4 days ago, but has really escalated today. I now realize it isn t my back but inside and it feels like it s spreading from very low back to my mid back. I have trouble sitting, laying down or standing for any length of time today. I was barely able to drive a short distance today because I was unable to turn properly. I want to add that I am extremely active, I am definitely not over-weight, and like I mentioned this just kicked in a few days ago, today being the worst. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I plan to make a doctor appointment, but with the holidays....doc is not available. Thank you | If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. | Dear patient You are having back spasm that is due to abnormal sleep position. I would advise X-ray of lumbosacral spine anteroposterior and lateral views to rule out bony abnormalities. If its normal or showing loss of lumbar lordosis diagnosis is confirmed.

All this measures will definitely relieve you of back pain. All the best. |

Hi my nemesis XXXXX . I woke up an a week ago with a horrible bruise on my left hip that came out of no where. I was having severe abdominal pain and went to the er . They tried to tell me it was just a bruise even did a ct scan and blood work. All of that came back ol except for a very small cyst on my ovarie. Well the bruise is almost gone.but I have a medium sized knot remaining and its tender . Should I be worried ? Could it be a hernia and if so even with a ct scan could they have missed something ? | If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. | Hi and thank you so much for this query. I am so sorry to hear about this bruise and the pain you and. I will say do not get too worried about this knot. Try some pain medications for this and let's see what happens within 3-5days. If symptoms should persist or get worse, then you may consider returning to see your treating doctor, Hernia are generally diagnosed by talking to the patient and examining. A test is rarely needed. And with a CT scan done in this case, it would have been a very rare miss not to pick up a hernia if there was any. I am sure it cannot be a hernia unless it just happened suddenly which is unlikely. I hope you find this helpful. Thank you for using our services, and please feel free to ask for more information if need be. I wish you the best of health. |

What are your nose symptoms? d. What are the best and worst seasons for you? Above details will help me more to guide you better. At present, I would like to make suggestions as follows:1. Were I treating you, I would suggest you regular montelukast and levocetirizine for at least 2-3 months.2. I would also suggest you to use albuterol inhaler on as-and-when-needed basis for asthma symptoms/wheezing/breathlessness.3. I would suggest you allergy testing which will help you identify the substances causing allergies to you and also to know the measures to avoid them. Common asthma-allergy causing substances are air-borne substances like house dust mites, cockroach proteins, molds and pollen in your environment and animal proteins (if you have pet/s). Based on the allergy testing, an Allergist-Immunologist may prescribe you allergen specific immunotherapy which works on immune system to gradually improve allergy symptoms in a long run.4.

Regular breathing exercises (including Yoga & Panama) and a healthy diet rich in vitamins & minerals (adequate amounts of green leafy vegetables, fruits, sprouts, etc.) will also help you in a long run by improving lung capacity and immunity respectively.

Hi I am being treated for a uti/ kidney infection but I still have pain on my left side in the kidney area . I have pain going down my left leg .feels like a nagging tooth ache then I get like severe pain in the top part of my leg rubbing it even hurts | If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. | Hi, Thanks for writing in. Urinary infection might vary from mild to severe. There are times when there is referred pain from a bladder and urinary infection to the lower limb. This happens due to stimulation of the nerves in the leg which transmit impulses due to urinary infection. The brain perceives it as originating from the leg and therefore the symptoms. It will also be important to know if you have a past history of nerves pinching in your lower back region. Such a condition might go unnoticed until you get investigated. Please discuss your detailed symptoms with the doctor and if required then get additional investigations done for your lower back to know if you have nerve related pain. Please do not worry. |
Hi Doctor, When I was 20 I had to face a surgery. I experienced a severe pain inside left testicle with a lump. Surgeon suggested me to do a surgery on both testicles. He said it might spread to the right side too and eventually killing both of them. Now the problem is, after sometime, my left testicle stopped producing enough sperms. Now it is getting smaller and smaller. And also it looks like there is another issue. Right testicle does take more time to involve in ejaculation. Probably tighten. Even before the surgery it took like 30-40 minutes to ejaculate. But I feel it is somewhat blocked. Due to this condition at left one, I also experience some abdominal pain (not sure if it is the case) if I ejaculate often (daily) leading to some loose motion. What should I follow to recover from this? Thanks! | If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. | HelloThanks for query. You have undergone surgery for left testicle in childhood, and it has atrophied. Your Rt testicle is functioning normally. At the outset I would like to state that Testicle does not play any role in process of Ejaculation. The semen that is being ejaculated during ejaculation is stored in ducts of seminal vesicles and ejaculatory duct before being ejaculated. It is during ejaculation it is forcefully propelled in to prostatic urethra. As regards pain in lower abdomen and loose motions it is not related to frequent ejaculation. It may be due to colitis. You may need to take antibiotics like Ofloxacin with Metronidazole for five days. Chat Doctor. |

Now i m taking liv-52 2 tablets thrice in a day. is this will work and i will be fine? should i control my diet also bcz i m very fond of eating and drinking ( drink once in 2 weeks but had stopped in this period ) | If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. | Hi and welcome to Chat Doctor. Thank you for your query. I am Chat Doctor, I understand your concerns and I will try to help you as much as I can. It depends on the cause of elevated Lots. In case of fatty liver, it will help. But in case of cirrhosis hepatitis or biliary issues it won't be helpful. The next step is to look for certain liver damage and most common case is fatty liver disease. It should be confirmed by ultrasound. Other causes are viral hepatitis, cirrhosis, medications, alcohol intake or autoimmune diseases. To verify exact cause, US, bilirubin levels and tumor markers should be additional done. Then appropriate treatment can be started. I hope I have answered you query.

For the past 3 days, I ve been having severe chest pain with a burning sensation in the middle of my chest. It literally takes my breath away and makes my heart race, then it eases off for awhile. I ve been debating on going to the ER as it keeps recurring. If it continues, should I go to the ER? | If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. | Hi I do care for your concern.

Hope I have answered your question, if you have more feel free to ask. Thank you. |
i HAD AN alif in 2006 and after 3 month check up the L5S1 was loose. They did a screw removal anterior and posterially did percutanious screwed metal on either side of s1. I have had pain and now neuropathy in my feet and left leg. Would it help to remove the metal and screws now? | If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. | Dear patient first I would like to know the reason for fusion surgery. Was It done for spondylolisthesis at l5s1 or for the disc prolapse surgery? If it was done for spondylolisthesis the reason for pain may be delayed fusion at l5s1 or non fusion. The reason for lower limb pain may be radiculopathy due to nerve compression by hardware. Detailed examination by expert spine surgeon is recommended. I would like to confirm diagnosis by doing X-ray of lumbosacral spine anteroposterior and lateral views. This will give me idea about progress of fusion and position of hardware. If possible MRI of lumbosacral spine is also advisable if not contraindicated by presence of hardware. Meanwhile, start tab regain x 75 mg one at bedtime. Removal of screws and metal can be decided only after both investigation. |

I have a small patch of skin that is slightly numb directly above my right knee. There is no pain and the sensation does not get any worse if i move to a certain position. I suspected it is a pinched femoral cutaneous nerve so I have been doing foam rolling and hip extension stretches. It seems when I do the stretches the sensation comes back to being strongest. Is this a pinched nerve? Something else? What are some home treatments I can do before going to a professional and spending $$$? | If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. | Dear Patient, it could be a lateral femoral cutaneous nerve compression in the pelvis if you are diabetic or overweight, for example. In that case, weight loss would help. Also, I would also consider a possible pinched nerve in the lower spine at the L3 level and confirm it with an MRI scan of the lower spine. In that case, consider doing some physical therapy with traction on lower back. Thank you |

Palpitations can be seen in1. Stress, anxiety and tension2. Arrhythmia (cardiac cause)3. Anemia4. Hyperthyroidism etc. So better to rule out cardiac cause first. So get done ECG and 2d echo to rule out cardiac cause. If both are normal then get done hemoglobin level and thyroid function test to rule out anemia and hyperthyroidism respectively. If all are normal then stress and anxiety can be the cause. So avoid stress and tension. Be relax and calm. Consult doctor and discuss all these. |

My 3 year old son has developed red, blotchy areas on his skin. It began on his cheeks and around his mouth, and I wondered if he d eaten something he was allergic to?? Within a few days, it had spread to his triceps, and forearms, upper thighs, and lower legs. The red areas are generally warm to the touch, but there is no raised bump or roughness, rather smooth skin. It doesn t itch or hurt. He has a history of eczema (fairly mild), but this is clearly something different. Otherwise he is a healthy kid. | If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. | Hello, Thank you for asking at Chat Doctor. I went through your sons history and would like to make suggestions for him as follows:1. From your provided history, I would first think of atomic dermatitis, though it should itch intensely, which is not the case with your son.2. I would also like to mention here that mild forms of atomic dermatitis may not always be due to food allergies. They can be caused by personal tendencies (genetic)/skin type (Chat Doctor. 3. I usually suggest my such patients regular use of calamine lotion or moisturizing creams, especially immediately after bathing, which improves moisture content within the skin and hence help to heal of skin.4. I also suggest my patients probiotics & vitamin D supplementation which helps to improve skin & immunity.5. If you suspect development of edematous skin lesions due to some foods, I would suggest specific IGE levels for that particular food, which help to identify whether he is allergic to that particular food. Common foods causing allergies are animal milk, egg, peanut, wheat, soy, tree nuts, fish, seafoods, etc. If he is allergic to any food, avoidance is the best treatment option.6. As itching is not a major problem, I would suggest getting him examined by dermatologist, if not done previously, so he can think of alternative condition, if it is there. Hope above suggestions will be helpful to you. Should you have any further query, please feel free to ask at Chat Doctor. Wish your son the best of the health ahead. Thank you & Regards. |

Gud aftrnun sir, My husband is suffering with low grade fever from two months. He also has sore throat n swelling in the throat .doctor says Its because of infection n allergy. But the fever repeats after every week. Is there any fear of tumor doctor? Because of persistent fever. Or its just coz of sm allergic infection? Othr symptoms include swollen testis, weakness, cold, muscle fatigue. | If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. | Hellos your husband is having fever (low grade) from last 2 months with sore throat. In my opinion however it is very difficult to establish any diagnosis with this short history, but allergy is not responsible for such type of fever. Usually allergy is another sort of problem causes bronchoconstriction, hence cough and cold may be due to allergy. If infection is there, this may cause fever. In your husband the duration of fever is very long. This is a cause of concern. As you husband is also having swollen testis, cold, weakness, fatigue. Weakness and fatigue may be due to fever. The possibilities of fever may be, these include .1 Orchids inflammation (infection)of testis sometimes develops such type of low grade fever. So consult a physician / surgeon and get his opinion because physical examination is important in this case. If there is fluid collection in sac of scrotum (testis) it don't produces fever.2 Tuberculosis, this is another most common cause of prolonged duration fever. Get in sputum examination for A F B, blood for E SR, X-ray chest, months test .3 Typhoid fever is one such cause of low grade fever. Get in Tidal test as well serology test for confirmation. There are so many other causes of fever as anemia, tumor in lungs, abdomen. But deal as mentioned above. Good luck. |
My fiancee and I , are trying to get pregnant , but i think i m not able to get pregnant . i believe i was having implantation bleeding 3 days ago but it wasn t very light it wasn t heavy either it was in the middle , i looked on the internet to see what it was and some say it could have been a miscarrage.what do you think ? | If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. | Hi, implantation bleeding is not a common finding, if usually occurs that can be seen around 1 week after fertilization, that could be minimal in quantity, so if your bleeding period correlates with the possible time of implantation, and if the bleeding subsided soon, you wait till the expected date of periods and undergo blood or urine test for pregnancy to detect the possibility, bleeding due to miscarriage will be rather heavy and usually presents with associated pain abdomen. Take care. |

From your description I would say that you have something called pustular eczema. This is a real severe eczema, but it can be controlled. In my practice I start with dexamethasone ointment twice a day. Try to reduce the amount of handwashing as this makes the skin Chat Doctor. This will take several weeks to get control. I also recommend at night before going t sleep. Put on the dexamethasone and then put on a white cotton glove. The glove keeps the medicine in contact with the skin and also prevents the ointment rubbing onto your bedsheets. Hope this answers your question.

Hi doctor,I am a 31 year old unmarried male. Over the last few months my sperm looks watery whenever I ejaculate. Will it create any problem? Also my erection is not like earlier. Kindly advise me doctor. | If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. | Hi. I have read and understood your problem. The fluid that male organ secrete during ejaculation is called semen. Semen is a visible liquid. It contains millions of invisible microscopic male counterpart of female eggs called sperms. It does not matter if your semen is more watery, the sperm count in semen should be normal and that can be detected by semen analysis, which is done at a pathology laboratory. Erection problem appears to be due to stress or anxiety. So, do relaxation exercise. However, to exclude other cause you need to do some blood tests like sugar and hormones. Stop smoking if you smoke. Check your BP (blood pressure). If you are taking any medicine or nutritional supplement on regular basis then it may be due to side effect of that.

Hi, I just came back from vacation and had been feeling a sore feeling in my neck, and its moved to my chest. Not like a sore throat, but it hurts to move my tongue and i noticed there are big bumps on the back of my tongue. My husband thinks I should see a doctor...Do you have any idea what this could be? | If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. | Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor, A bump on back of tongue could be due to: wart, polyp, soft tissue lesion- fibrous, hematoma if the lesion is reddish purple in color, lipoma etc. A clinical assessment of the lesion is required. I would suggest you to consult your primary healthcare provider for a clinical assessment. The soreness in the neck radiating to the chest region is probably due to this lesion only. Clinical assessment will decide whether the lesion has to be removed surgically or medical treatment will suffice. Thanks and take care Chat Doctor. |

But there is no proven benefit also. Starting aspirin may not solve your problem. You need some investigations to find out cause for repeated miscarriages. Though these investigations are costly, if abnormal some factors can be corrected to avoid miscarriage. You can ask your doctor about those investigations. Some basic cheap investigations are blood sugar level, V Chat Doctor. Costly investigations like karyotype can be done or deferred according to your doctors' advice. Wish you good health. |

Hi There, my boyfriend has a history of back problems and his back went again on Monday, he is in severe agony and cannot walk, sit or do anything without any pain. He cannt straighten his posture and has been told that his disk could have gone its his 4th disc in his life that has caused him problems. Can you tell me how serious this can be? Will be become disabled? | If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. | After going through your query I think your friend is suffering from lumbar disc prolapse. There are two treatment options. First option is Rest in position of relief(generally lateral position with both knee bend), NUROKIND GOLD ONCE DAILY and analgesics (Diclofenac three times a day after meals is effective). Sometimes strong analgesic(such as attract three times a day after meals) is required. OMEPRAZOLE before meals prevent acidity caused by analgesics. This method needs patience as it take longer treatment times sometimes up to 6 months. Second option is go for surgical operation(Discectomy). You can discuss with his treating surgeon. Disc prolapse cause recurrent problems. He should avoid weight lifting and strenuous activity. These episodes settle down in a period of nearly two years. I think after that he will not have frequent problems. I think your query answered. Welcome to any follow-up query |

Hi, i was just informed that my friend is in the hospital because she couldn t breath. I was also told that prior to the breathing problems, she took 220mg of Vyvanse within a 24-hour period.She s been prescribed 30mg once or twice a day for a couple months, though hasn t been taking it consistently. She s about 5 5 , and between 200 and 215 pounds. I need to know how likely it is that the 220mg of Vyvanse that she took lead to an overdose causing her breathing problems. | If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. | Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Vyvanse is central nervous system (CNS - brain) stimulant, not suppressor. So her breathing difficulty is not due to this Chat Doctor. She is very obese. So possibility of sleep apnea is more likely in her case. And this (sleep apnea) can cause breathing problems. So get done sleep study to rule out sleep apnea. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your friend. Thanks. |

Hello doctor,Three days ago, I fell on my face and cracked my right front tooth right in the middle, horizontally. You cannot see the crack with your bare eyes, but if you shine a light from the back of my tooth, you will see it correctly. It goes from the right to the left, and it stops two millimeters before the next tooth. I was scared, so I asked many dentists before going to an actual appointment myself.They said it was fine, that it is only on the outer layer. Then, I went to an actual dentist myself, and they did an X-ray test on it. Nothing appeared, and said I would be fine, but gave me no further details. I was still left wondering, is there any way the rest of the tooth will fall out eventually because it is very slightly sensitive to change in temperature. | If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. | Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor forum. It is one of the most common complaints in routine dental practice. The fracture (hairline crack) might be only in the superficial structure (more likely in enamel than in dentin) of the tooth and not in the pulp (since it does not hurt). It requires minimal attention, and no specific care is mandatory. You may use desensitizing gel (with potassium nitrate) for brushing and also for a massage before having hot, cold, sweet, and sour stuff. I hope it helps. |

Hello doctor, My 5 years old son has a problem in one tooth (second last on down left side ) and doctors are suggesting for RCT (root canal treatment). I have attached the pictures to this query. Here are my questions:Can RCT (root canal treatment) be done for a 5-year-old child?Will it affect his next teeth (at around 7 years of age)?Is there any alternate for RCT as he is least cooperating? | If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. | Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor forum. This tooth is a milk tooth which will fall off in around 10 to 11 years of age (attachment removed to protect patient identity). So, till then to save it, you have to do a root canal treatment. Root canal treatment can be done on a child if he is cooperative or at least parent approves. It will not affect the permanent tooth which will come out below this around 10 years of age. So do not worry. It is advised not to extract this tooth at this age as it will affect the normal growth of jaw. For more information consult a pedodontist online |
I ve noticed every now and then the back of my head feels sore, like i hit it. When i go to touch the soar area there is a small bump. After about a day or two, it goes away. I ve noticed that when this does occur its usually around a time when I ve had alittle too much to drink. Do you think this is related to alcohol? I have had two falls to back of the head over the course of my life, nothing that took me to the hospital, but definately accidents that left a goose bump there for awhile. Do you think there s connection to that also? | If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. | Hi and welcome to Chat Doctor. Thank you for your query. I am Chat Doctor and I will try to help you as much as I can. I don't think this is related to alcohol since alcohol cant affect soft tissues on this way. It may be related to the hit if this was at this area and then so-called traumatic fibrous may occur. However, it sounds to me more like some subcutaneous lipoma or atheroma, and you should see surgeon for further evaluation, or you can do ultrasound with needle biopsy. In every case it doesn't sound serious to me. I hope I have answered you query. If you have any further questions you can contact us. Kindly regards. Wish you a good health. |
hi i injured my neck 3 weeks ago while i was performing martial arts, i was rolling on the ground. i went to the hospital they said the xray is fine i sprained my neck its been 3 weeks and i feel less pain but i still have pain behind my head and a little swelling,headaches, im able to move my body | If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. | Hello ! I read you question and understand your concern. It is very common to have headache after head concussion or trauma. It may be caused by the muscle contractions in the scalp, or by an irritated occipital nerve from the trauma. I think that it will get better spontaneously. You don't have any other symptoms like gait problems or numbness in your limbs. This is an indicative sign that there is nothing wrong with you (like an intracranial hemorrhage for example). So I would recommend having some rest. There is a high risk after a head trauma to get in a serious condition if the trauma is repeated. For this reason it is very important to be careful for a month after trauma and to avoid possible other trauma. Regarding the headache I would recommend painkillers for some days. Hope to have been helpful! Greetings ! |

I have gone through your question, and it says that your father is on next forte and risperidone. You have not mentioned the dosage of any of them. Next forte is safe in this age, except when thee is severe liver dysfunction, it has the least interaction with other medicines, but, may cause reduction in sodium levels, especially in old age. This happens more when there is already existing liver or kidney problems. One needs to get sodium and other electrolytes checked to see if that is causing disorientation/ other deteriorating symptoms. You should have mentioned the deteriorating symptoms, this would rally have helped in telling the possible cause... Risperidone is also usually safe in low dose, and actually an effective medicine. In some patients it may cause disorientation, delirium, and rigidity (tightening of limbs), increase in salivation and slurring of speech...

I know it is troublesome, but sometimes even the right medicine may cause distress in few patients. These Chat Doctor.

I am a 33 year old woman who has been experiencing pain on my lower right ribs frequently for the past seven years. No doctors can seem to figure it out: I ve had ultrasounds of all the organs in that area and everything checks out, and I just had x-rays of my ribs that showed no fractures, dislocations, or problems with my heart or lungs. The ribs toward the inner front edges are extremely sensitive to the touch. When the pain happens, sitting or,lying down and taking 2 Tums are the only things that help but I would like to find out what is causing it so I can treat the underlying cause, not just the symptoms.

Obviously, surface areas like muscle or skin would be immediately known. If muscles or joints or bone, aspirin-like Chat Doctor. If it is the diaphragm, actually, breathing exercises like yoga might be physical therapy. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. |
Hi, im a 21yr old female w/a slightly swollen, yet, tender node in my right groin area (the left side has gone down but is still tender). Ive had this for about 2 1/2 wks. Approximately 3 days before this started, the condom ripped during intercourse. The swelling has gone down but its still noticable (a little hard, tender, could be easily noticed at a glance) . My doctor simply dismissed this as nothing to worry about during my pap 2wks ago; should this be considered a medical emergency? | If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. | Welcome to Chat Doctor .1.It's not a medical emergency - but needs medical help.2. Because aim thinking in terms of lymph nodal enlargement (bilateral, painless lump in inguinal regions) seen in presence of any infection / inflammation in the body.3.

I would suggest seeing your GP let get examined and a course of antibiotics will help in case of bacterial infections.5. Maintain local hygiene, do not scratch the area. 6. I don't think it's something to do with your ripped condom during intercourse. Hope it helps you. Wish you a good health. Anything to ask ? Do not hesitate. Thank you. |

I am 53 year old and a year ago I was diagnosed with duct carcinoma breast cancer, went through surgery and radiation and was on tomoxifen and now they put me on femara due to the fact that I had a hysterectomy in May 2011. Besides taking vitamins and calcium these are the only medicine but when I go to sleep I fall asleep fast and then about an hour or two I jump out of bed and feel like something is wrong. I usually walk to the bathroom and then go back to bed and usually I fall asleep right a way or within a few minutes. Sometimes I sleep the rest of the night but sometime it comes back again within a few hours. What should I do.

It is best you take a sedative at bedtime for a few weeks. Meanwhile, try to occupy your mind with activities during the day. Join a meditation group. Don't sleep during the day. Eat at least 1 hour before bedtime. |
I had a hip surgery after an car accident (Feb. 18, 2012) and after a month and half (April 3, 2012) I got DVT in my right leg and then I started taking Warfrain so now I am on blood thinners and keep my INR between 2-3. My question is my right foot had regular swelling although I excercise, swim and have medication on a regular basis. Do I need any medication for swelling or what else I could do? AT present I am in west coast Canada. | If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. | Hi The legs have two sets of veins, deep veins and superficial veins (close under the skin), blood goes from the superficial to the deep veins. Clots usually form in the deep veins though they can occur in the superficial veins as well. Whereas the arteries in our bodies have thin muscle our veins do not, and they rely on the contractions of the surrounding muscles to return the blood to the heart. Some persons with a history of DVT can have a complication called post thrombotic syn Chat Doctor. Some symptoms of this include: swelling of the leg due to a build up of fluid, varicose veins, heaviness, itching or tingling, discoloration. Initial treatments include leg elevation and the use of compression stocking, in some cases medication can be used. You should speak to your doctor so he or she can assess the swelling and initiate appropriate treatment I hope this helpful to you |
I am 19 years old, 5ft 1, and around 7.5 stone. 2 years ago i was diagnosed with pernicious anaemia and now receive a b12 injection every 3months. However i am still extremley tired and run down. I am affraid its starting to also effect me mentally as my lack of energy and enthusiasm can often leave me feeling depressed. My doctor pescribed me with folic acid supplements, however after one pescription he then denied my next one. I am now applying for university and concerned about finance as i find it difficult to work. Do you have any suggestions to as why im still so tired and would i be egilable for Disabled student allowance? | If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. | HiT hanks for your query. Based on your query, my opinion is1. Your complaints may be genuinely related to pernicious anemia as vitamin B 12 deficiencies is known to cause neurological symptoms.2. However, if you are regular on your medications, then chances of pernicious anemia causing you problems is quite less. 3. You can get vitamin B 12 stores evaluated along with red cell folate levels. 4. You are also having some problems with your routine life and concerned about education. So depression is most probably related to these.5. I would suggest you to go for a psychiatric counselling as well as if depression is due to psychiatric causes, this might get in way of your routine lifestyle. Hope this helpsRegards |
My 3 year old son has had fever and complains of pain in his belly which is localized to one spot about an inch above his belly button. I will point to other areas and he will say no... Right here and points to same spot again. At times he will cry and say again that his belly hurts. This is the 6th day. Fever has been as high as 102.8 under his arm. I ve been giving him ibuprofen to keep it down and ease him. Without that he lays around. With it he is able to get up and play a little bit. He is not eating. Not even finishing a sucker or Popsicle which is very unusual. He is drinking. He is not doubled over in pain. Just acts miserable and will cry/whine on occasion that it hurts | If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. | Hi. Thanks for your query. The most probable diagnosis of such a pain in a child of 3 years can be inflamed lymph nodes at the base of mesentery (the curtain-like thing which supports the intestines and gives blood vessels, lymphatics and lymph nodes). I would suggest you to have an ultrasonography as soon as possible to find out the reason so that antibiotic treatment can be started. Continue the Ibuprofen. Get started on an antibiotics there is no relief : go for the tests of Blood, Complete blood picture, ESR, Manitou testX-ray chest blood Tidal and all other tests as may be directed by your Pediatrician or Pediatric Surgeon. |

Hello, Im rather nervous to ask this question but i really need advice. The source of my problem: i have been wearing the same spacers for 10 years at least. No Im not in any pain as of yet. But recently theyve started feeling like theyre about to fall out. Why didnt i go back to get them taken off? I was traumatized by the ones that put them on and Im now terrified of dentists. I dont know what to do. And every time i think about going to the dentist, i over think every little possibility. What if i lose all my teeth? What if they want to do immediate operation to get them out? What if i somehow die because of these? But i need advice. Its getting hard to chew and honestly the looseness is downright annoying. Please help. | If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. | Hello, I suggest that you do make an appointment to see a dentist or orthodontist specialist for evaluation.

I visited Dental surgeon also n advised conservative management. Shani | If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. | Hello madamThanks for the query. As it is not safe to take many medications during pregnancy due to effects on growth of fetus. It's better to follow conservative treatment for few days. Start warm salt water mouth wash 3-4 times daily for few days it helps a lot in relieving the symptoms and removes the food particles stuck beneath the periodontal flap which may cause irritation and help in reducing inflammation. You can also go for minimal scaling of that area by your dentist. If things worsen after these steps can go for operculectomy in the mid of your second trimester, with minimal trauma, after a consent from your GAEC. Take carhop tried to clarify your doubt. |
My mom has been diagnosed with cancer due to the metastasis, that start on her overies going to her kidneys, liver, lungs, and brain, but she has no cancer cells. The Dr done a biopsy on the mass on her lungs and told her they couldnt say it was or was not cancer, they had not seen anything like it. How could the dr diagnose her with cancer if there is no cancer cells, and if not cancer what could it be? | If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. | A lesion in the ovary that has spread to the lungs, liver, kidneys and brain is in all likelihood a cancer. There are a few tropical infections that can rarely mimic such a picture like tuberculosis, but that would not be my first diagnosis. Also, a needle biopsy from the lung lesion can miss the cancer cells half the time as it is technically difficult. It does not mean that she does not have cancer. There is a simple blood test called CA-125. If that is significantly raised then there is no doubt that your mom has cancer. If it is not raised then you can get a CT guided needle biopsy from the ovarian mass. If that is positive for cancer then you don't need to biopsy the other lesions. They are taken as metastasis based on the radiological picture alone. |

Cough and cold are viral 95% of the times in child Chat Doctor. For cold, you can use anti-allergics like cetirizine and for nose block, saline nasal decongestants will do. Paracetamol can be given in the dose of 15 mg/kg/dose (max ceiling dose 500 mg) every 4-6th hourly, that too only if fever is more than 100F.

I try to vomit but it wont come out.. After taking panadol and sleep for few hours, i still feel the same.. By the way, if i lay down or sit down, my head do not spin, only when i want to move around then i feel the whole world is spinning.. And it is normal stomach discomfort at the same time? Earlier after i relieved myself, the spinning lessen so i am not sure whether its connected or coincidences.. Thank you doc!",

In this condition, the most common symptom is dizziness or giddiness, which is made worse with movements. Accompanying nausea and vomiting are common. The condition is due to problem in the ear, and improves in a few days on own. Betahistine tablets would help relieve your symptoms.
