Hello, I have had the Nexplanon implant for about 3 months now and when I bled for almost a month straight, the nurse that put in my implant said to go ahead and take birth control to stop the bleeding. So, I have been for a month and it worked. I took the sugar pills to make sure I wasnt pregnant about 2weeks ago and had a period for about 4 days. I stopped taking the birth control pill yesterday hoping to get some sort of bleeding to assure me Im NOT pregnant, and I havent..... is that okay?! Im freaking out because I heard taking pills and having the implant can be counteractive... if so, I cant believe a nurse would tell me to do it. Help please | Hi, Welcome to ChatDoctorYour nurse has given you right advise. Initially when we start Implant, it may give irregular bleeding, but with continuous use, you may not see your bleeding. In certain situation we have to give oral contraceptive pills. Do not repeat your birth control pills now, if in case you see any bleeding, before consulting doctor. You may not see bleeding after stopping birth control pills, as you are getting constant release of progesterone from Explain. Actually you should have been properly counseled before starting implant. Women can see different types of bleeding pattern as a result of this. Hope you got your answer. Chat Doctor. |

Hi, I am 42 years old. In past three years have undergone 3 ICSI cycles which resulted in BFN. Also a hysteroscopy last July, a combined laporoscopy and HSG last September and a hysteroscopy last week. Have been prescribed 6mg of progynova for 6 weeks. My husband has poor motility and morphology. Will we ever be parents naturally ie unassisted? | Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor. After the age of 37-40 years, chance of conception rapidly declines because of reduced egg content of ovary. Even when everything is fine, chance of conception at age of 42 is less than 10%. Over & above that, your husband has poor sperm motility & morphology, which will further reduce chance of natural conception to say In this situation, it's best to go for advanced treatment like repeat CSI with own/donated eggs depending on your ovarian reserve. Wish you good health. Regards. |

You are suggested to inform your discomforts to your treating doctor. Body ache, headache, tiredness may be due to POD.

Hi, I am a 60 yr old female and lately I have been having pain in my back where my lungs are, also pain in my shoulder, armpits and sometimes my hands...the last few days I have been quite breathless, even when talking. Could it be a chest infection? I m not coughing but seem to have a lot of phlem, most times quite thick. THANKYOU Yvonne | You complain of chest pain, breathlessness and productive cough. The reasons can be many, hence let me come directly to your question. Could it be chest infection? An infection will usually come with its accompanying signs and symptoms. Fever is one of the cardinal signs of an infectious etiology. A productive colored sputum is an indicator too. It needs evaluation with blood counts and Chest X-ray. To rule out an infection. Also, if possible, a sputum culture is highly recommended. Also given the age and degree of breathlessness, I would advise you to be evaluated for obstructive airway disease (COPD) by getting a Spirometry done. Any more queries are welcome. Regards. |
We are living in Bangalore and my 4 year old son have enlarged Adenoid (for last year and half). Due to this he s prone to cold and his body resistance to infection is little low. We consulted few ENT specialists w.r.t removal of enlarged Adenoid via surgery. We got mixed opinions on that. As I understand Adenoid is first level of defense in the respiratory track and it s removal can have unfavorable consequences in longer run. Also there s chance of getting it back between age 6-8 yrs. We are following Homeopathy & Ayurvedic treatment (off and on) for last year or so. My son is some-what better w.r.t frequency of getting infections. But still he snores a lot and breaths with open-mouth most of the times. We are just worried if this prolong mouth-breathing will do some damage to his internal organs and ears (due to some-what frequent chest & ear infection). | Hi, Your child sleeps with mouth open, this means that the tonsils are quite large at the age of 4 years. If there is difficulty in breathing or not able to swallow anything then the child should be operated. Tonsillectomy is a common operation and there are some minor complications like nasal discharge, sore throat, ear ache, but these symptoms usually subside over 3 weeks. In my opinion, you should go for tonsillectomy. I hope this has helped you. Take care. Regards Chat Doctor. |
i have a girl 2 years old her stool is soft and pus cells are 6-7 protozoa are nill and direct examination few fecal leucocytes . culture negative for salonellla,shigella and staphyllococcus aureus . the stool smell very bad and she stoll immediately after she have food. please advice the reason and how to treat her | Hi, What your kid is having is not diarrhea and is only gastronomic reflux. It is quite common for babies of this age group to pass a small amount of diarrhea or loose stools soon after feeds. This need not be treated as diarrhea and especially antibiotics are not indicated. When the kid takes food, the stomach expands - then when it is contracting it sets off a waveform which moves down the intestines and when that wave reaches the lower down rectum, a small quantity of the stool is evacuated out. This is the basis for gastronomic reflex. Do not worry. Unless the kids having low urine output or very dull or excessively sleepy or blood in motion or green bilious vomiting...you need not worry. The other possibility when it related is passing motion immediately after food is that it could have been worm infestation. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. |
I have experienced a hand tremor since January I first associated it with stress but the stress is gone and the tremor isnt. I also have noticed it when I stretch I feel a weird tremble like feeling. I am currently getting my thyroid tested and I have already had lab work done. I was noted to be anemic and have a vitamin d deficiency but I am not sure if any of that is associated with the tremor. The NP said it was probably because I wasnt eating regularly but I have since started to eat regular and havent noticed a change. Any suggestions? | Hello dear, The symptoms as mentioned in your post can be attributed to |
I am a 58 year old male. 2 days ago I noticed three elongated lumps around my right breast area under the skin. They were about an inch or so long by a half inch wide. I thought it maybe a spider had bit me because they were a little itchy. Today I noticed several pea sized ones on my stomach. What could this be? | HI, Dear, Thanks for the query from you for the small moveable lump under skin at the site of the hickey.1-I feel concerned that you are serious about the knowing the cause of the lumps around the breast and the abdomen.2- In my opinion dear, the lump under the skin 2 day aback around the rt breast and on the stomach, with itchiness, are mostly due to the spider bits or bedbug bites.4-I would advise you to take cetirizine, with SOS NSAID and apply some low steroid ointment locally, which would take care of it. 5-Hope this would solve your worry about lumps around the breast and stomach. 6-Wellcome to Chat Doctor for any more query. |
a goiter and nodules were found during a scan of my gallbladder which landed me into the hospital, i saw a surgeon for the gallbladder and have elected to put off surgery for now (feel fine now).... i followed up with an endo, she wanted to put me on synthyroid to TRY to shrink the nodule (i said NO due to the side effects of this drug) i was also told over the phone, i test positive for antibodies? and have an underactive thryroid...not sure if i like this doc or not...only saw her 1 time.. i do not have any details of blood results, she acts like it is no big deal but i am concerned... currently i am to followup in june with a sono and office biopsy of the nodule... i do not want medication unless it is absolutely necessary (I feel perfectly normal)... i am 57 and in excellent health until the gallbladder issue... am i jeopardizing my health by refusing meds for the nodule? is there a more natural approach to this deficiency of the thyroid? | Ignite is enlargement of thyroid. If there are multiple nodules and your TSH levels are normal, initially you can try with Thyroxine tablets along with iodized salt. If there is no response, you can go for surgery for multi nodular goiter. You can also go for surgery directly as the medical treatment is not responsive. But, let the FNAC/Biopsy report come, and you can proceed accordingly. If there is no cancer, you can wait for the response of medicines or go for surgery directly as some benign nodules may turn into cancer. Please do not try other natural approaches for thyroid as it will delay the treatment. Regarding gall bladder, it should be removed if you are having gall bladder stones along with pain in the right upper part of abdomen. If you come back with biopsy report, I will clarify furthering you good healthRegards |
My husband, age 63 is feeling cool on his abdomen and back while the rest of him is warm...currently sleeping.

He says he is feeling fine and feels OK to work everyday (does construction work outside on a normal basis). Should I be concerned tonight that part of him feels cool even when under covera for an hour or two Thanks so much | Hello and thank you for asking in Chat Doctor I can understand your concern Don't worry so much. Your husband is under treatment for pneumonia according to the history, and he has had fever several times. Now he feels better, but he is not completely asymptomatic which means that the feeling he had might be due to an episode of temperature not so high. This shows that the treatment is doing well. But he has to be careful with the treatment to be correct as the doctor has prescribed, no smoking and not to work in dust environment, a lot of liquids too. Take parish a fast recovery for your husband. |

hello doctor, i tried to convince myself many a times, but failed. my father behaves ia an unnatural way. he saya himself to be god. he doesnt sleep at night and doesnt let other sleep. he speaks a lot of useless things. he was previously dependent on intoxication but now after the doctor recommendation we have forcibly stopped everything. is it due to the stopping of intoxication or what and why he becomes so irritated. we are living in orissa and from a middle class family. kindly help | Hi dear, what ever you describe about him suggest that he might have bipolar mood disorder, and it may be due to the substance which he took, or it may have individual entity. For proper diagnosis we need detail history and mental status examination of him. You need to consult psychiatrist. There are many medications which controls his behavior and symptoms also like mood stabilizer sodium valproate, lithium, carbamazepin, etc. also anti-psychotic medication like olanzapine helpful.

I am a 53 yr old female. Dr xrayed me for constant stomach upper region pain. She said she does not like the way my bladder looks at all and ordered a cat scan. My insurance would not cover and I dont know if I should just go to the er or find another radiologist. Have been on Subutex for 5 years and am afraid surgery pain will not be able to be treated. I had an bowel obstruction years ago and almo s t died. Im scared. | Hi ! Good evening. I am Chat Doctor answering your query. I would rather advise you to consult another radiologist after getting yourself clinically examined by the ER doctor or your family physician. Opinion regarding bladder or any other viscera might not be practicable by a simple X-ray of the abdomen. This would need an ultrasound/CT scan of the abdomen to arrive at a diagnosis of a pathology in an intra-abdominal organ. However, a good radiologist could fairly have an idea about it by a simple ultrasound which would be much more affordable than a CT scan. I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts. Thanks for choosing Chat Doctor to clear doubts on your health problems. I wish you an early recovery. Chat Doctor. |
hello i am currently pregnant and my vagina has been very sore and itchy. i ahve had this for a while but latly parts of my vagina have swollen up and gone very red. it has been that painful it has made me cry. i cannot wear any underwear as its very sore and rubs. | Hallow Dear, You seem to have vaginal infection which could be bacterial, fungal or trichomonal. These infections lead to vaginal itching and pain with discharge. Since during pregnancy the immunological response is poor, these infections are commonly observed. If you are having curry discharge, it could be fungal infection. Trichomonal vaginal discharge is frothy greenish white while the bacterial discharge is mucoid or yellowish pus. Fungal infections can be treated with antifungal vaginal pessaries, Metronidazole can take care of trichomonal infection while for bacterial infections, antibiotics are needed. Both the partners should have the treatment simultaneously. Please report to your Obstetrician for proper diagnosis and appropriate treatment. During the treatment, please observe the following instructions |

Hi, Last month it s my first time to use Charlize pills, I used to take Althea then. My Q is now that I m using Charlize pills,(my first try) I m done using the 21 active pills and now I m on my 4th take of my ferrous fumarrate, but suddenly my monthly period started this morning, I m supposed to take my 4th tablet of ferrous this evening. What should I do?do I have to continue taking those 7 ferrous tablets until I m done then start taking a new pack. Or I need to stop taking the left ferrous and start taking the active pills by tomorrow? (coz it says that we should take the pill on the 2nd day of your period) when will I take the new pack?tnx | Hallow, I have read your query and have understood your confusion. Charlie tablet pack contains 28 tablets. First 21 days tablets are the main hormone containing tablets. Last seven tablets are as you know are iron tablets. The main purpose of iron tablets is not to break the habit of taking daily tablets. Also, they help you to regain the blood lost during menses. After finishing the hormone 21 tablets, any day during the iron tablets the menses start. By the time you finish iron tablets, your menses are over and the new pack starts. You do not have to worry about starting the menses while on iron portion of the tablets. Now you have got two options |
I am unsure of how to ask this but, I feel as though I am losing it or going insane. Sometimes I stare at blank spaces and even zone out when this happens I feel as though I see something but I know I don t see anything. At times I am also socially awkward/inept and I find it hard to look people in the eye when I am conversing. Any help would be great, thank you. | Hi, It is unlikely that you have symptoms of psychosis or Asperger. From your description, you seem to have non-specific problems (not fitting into any particular disorder). Anxiety can be commonly associated with such symptoms where patients may find it difficult to describe). Your social awkwardness may be because of low self-confidence, poor social skills or social anxiety. Try consulting a psychiatrist for detailed evaluation of your problem. All the best. |

Sperm count is normal. Normally it should be at least 20 millions/ml. Your findings suggest 50 millions/ml, so it is normal. Motility is also normal. Normally it should be at least 55 %. Normal morphology sperms are also normal. Only 16 % normal morphology sperms are required for natural fertilization. Other findings like viscosity etc. are also normal. In short, findings are normal. However, it needs clinical correlation. Get well soon. Take Care Chat Doctor. |
I went to the doctor today for a routine check up. He always goes over the blood tests with me but this time what I saw was that the bilirubin was slightly elevated but consistently increasing for over, more than five years but still is in the normal range. I am seventy years of age, excellent health, except for gout, I take allopurinol 300 mg/day for the last 10 years and aspirin. | Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor. Thank you for your query. I am very proud of your lifestyle and dedication to maintain good health. Gout is a common condition that takes place due to high serum uric acid levels. I would first like to inform you that serum uric acid levels can be controlled to quite an extent through diet. Why don't you consult a nutritionist for the same. If you succeed, then we can wean you off the medication. Allopurinol has shown to cause a rise in bilirubin levels, which is why you notice only the rise of bilirubin levels. As long as other parameters to measure your liver function are within normal limits, there should be absolutely no reason to be worried. Try controlling your gout through your diet, which will help your doctor in reducing the dose and gradually weaning you off the allopurinol. Wishing you loads of luck. I hope I have succeeded in providing the information you were looking for. Please feel free to write back to me for any further clarifications at |

I m sitting here next to my husband. He has end stage liver cancer from cirrhosis & hep c. He breathes then stops. I knew that would happen. But I just came upstairs & he has orange foam coming from his mouth. What s causing this & the color. It s terrifying me. | Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. There are many causes for breathlessness in end stage liver cancer.1. Congestive cardiac failure (CCF) due to low proteins and low hemoglobin. 2. Metastases in lung.3. Metastases in pleura and produce malignant pleural effusion. But in my opinion CCF appears more as foam like think coming from mouth is seen in pulmonary edema. And orange color may be due to high bilirubin as a sequela of end stage liver cancer. So this can be the cause for yellowish orange foam coming out from your husbands mouth. |
I m experiencing very regular lightheadness. Dizzy. Like I m going to faint but I don t. Generally I m really fit and active but my body feels heavy lately and my muscles tight. I keep getting pains in my right hip thigh and knee ( I rub on magnesium and this seems to help). I feel I m urinating quite a lot, maybe twice an hour, but I do try to drink a lot of water. I m also experiencing pains similar to period pains but there not during my cycle. Been quite a heavy drinker for many years but upon feeling this way I have given up and not had a drink for 2 months. This seems to have made the lightheadness more frequent. Also feeling regular fatigue when I m normally full of energy. Craving more sugar foods when I generally eat a very very healthy diet with a super low salt and sugar intake. I m a smoker aged 40. Female | Hello, What I can advise after going through your complaints is to get your blood pressure and sugar level checked.

Broad question concerning my knees. 52 years old, 6 3 240, athletic. Stepped in a hole in yard, knee went left, body went other way. Didn t immediately hurt, not even for a week, then suddenly it has begun to be very painful,, lost full range of motion, can t run, stiff if I sit for too long, can t prop it across other leg, outside of it is tender, have a difficult time even using it to get up from a chair. Feels as if it could give out going up or down stairs, and even walking. Suggestions or comments welcome. Eric , email | Hello, I have studied your case. As per your age and history there is possibility of soft tissue injury in knee. Most commonly meniscus injury occurs. As per your symptoms you need to do physiotherapy and knee exercises to improve range of motion. If pain persist then you may need to do MRI again to see for any functional defect.

My father in law had surgery to correct a small hernia yesterday and has been coughing up phlegm that he says looks like it has dirt in it . He isn t a smoker (was 30 years ago). Do you have any thoughts about what it may be and would it be wise for him to save a sample for his physician to see? My father in law is 76 years old. Thank you! | Welcome to Chat Doctor, As he had hernia surgery yesterday, productive cough (cough with sputum) has to be treated intensively. Intravenous antibiotics may be started before the treatment and has to be continued. The sputum sample will be useful for your treating physician aspiration of dust particles to the lungs will also cause cough and to expel it. Hope this explains with regards Chat Doctor. |

Thanks for your query and an elucidated history. Your history of colectomy on the right, colonoscopy with biopsy reports and ulcers noted.

I woke up with severe pain on the right side of my face during the night. I thought I had just slept wrong. It continued the next day, Aleve didn t help. Called ask a nurse at Avera in South Dakota and Es told to go to the ER. The side of my face was slightly swollen. The did a cat scan, said it looks like it may be bone on bone, but won t know until the person who reads the X-rays looks at it. Also did an EKG and put a heart monitor on me, as my dad had to have open heart surgery, one brother passed from a massive stroke, another brother had to have a stent put in and was told he has PAD. Just wondered what your thoughts were? Thank you | Hello, I passed carefully through your question and would explain that your symptoms could be related to trigeminal neuralgia. A brain CT scan or MRI would help examine your brain and nerves. These tests are much more accurate than a simple X-ray study. Anyway, your symptoms do not indicate any life-threatening disorder. So, just try not to worry too much about it! Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. |
Hi my mom has this problem it seems when ever she leave home she starts to sort of \"freak out\" and i have looked it up and it seems she has panic attacks when ever she leaves the house. it has only been goijng on for the past two days and i was wondering if she should go see a doctor | Degree understand your concerns went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. Panic disorder is panicking before some physical / hypothetical situation. Usually panic attacks are based on anxiety about something. Anxiety is fear about some future event which may or may not happen. Your task is to find out why your mother is anxious and why she gets panic and what is the root cause of anxiety. Once the root cause is known, treatment becomes easy. You can consult a psychologist who should help you. If you need more of my services in this regard, please post a direct question to me with every detail. I am glad to serve the purpose. Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications. Good luck. |
Hi I am a 38 year old female and I suffer from GAD and panic disorder. I have an irrational fear of having a heart attack. My dad had one at 60. I am not obese and I have normal/low blood pressure. I don t smoke. Over the last 6 years I have probably had 6-10 ECG s and they have all come back normal. But I feel like I need to have more tests done. I get chest pain, shortness of breath, heart palpitations and nausea etc..... | Hi, thanks for asking from Chat Doctor for your health related doubts can understand your concern. The irrational fear of having some illness or Hyperion Chat Doctor. You are 38 years old female, and it is not common to have heart attack at this age especially in females. You're all ECG's came normal so remain relaxed and assured that you are safe. Thinking about getting some serious illness again and again causes anxiety and panic. Try to keep yourself busy to come out of anxiety and panic attacks. Relaxation exercises help to reduce the anxiety and panic will decrease. Breathing exercises also helps to reduce the symptoms. If relaxation exercises don't result in improvement then medicinal treatment will be needed. SSRIs are commonly used |
I have a lump in my vaginal area. On the outer lip (hair area) bikini line area. Like where the elastic around the leg of underwear is. Not on the outer part of elastic, on inner part of elastic area. Its so hard to describe where it is. I wish I could draw a picture. It was the size of a pea & u can see it, well u can see the half thats out when u touch it, it was completely round like size of pea & hard as rock. I tried squeezing it. I keep touching it & its getting bigger & the inside part is taking on a shape od however I sit & I can feel it against my leg when I walk. My husband thought an ingrown hair. But idk its just outta sight range for me. I gotta really lean over or use mirror. | Hello, According to the narration, it is a benign soft tissue lesion either sebaceous cyst or skin wart of that region. Usually, these lesions are not curable with medicines but require minor surgical excision under local anesthesia as a day care procedure. Still, it is wise to get examined by a consultant surgeon in person and get all the details or else can upload photograph of it (if no objection) for further guidance. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. |
Im a 34 yr old female with slightly elevated BP. Ive been monitoring it as directed by my doctor for about 2 months now..I should mention that I have also had frequent headaches/migraines for the past several months as well. A few days ago I had a dizzy spell all of a sudden while grocery shopping and thought I might faint as well as my heart was racing. I went home and took my BP and it was 150/96. Today I started feeling not well, headache, heart racing. I took my BP and it is now 141/105. My mother, grandmother and aunts have all either had high BP, heart attacks, or strokes. Are my issues urgent? | Hello! Welcome and thank you for asking on Chat Doctor! I read your question carefully and understand your concern. Your symptoms seem to be related to uncontrolled high blood pressure. Your past medical history may be related to a hereditary high blood pressure. The headaches may also be an indicator of uncontrolled high blood pressure. From the other hand a cardiac arrhythmia can not be excluded, referring to the lat episode. I recommend consulting with your GP for a careful physical examination and perform some tests |
My mom suddenly passed away while she was sitting at her bed, a last soft gasp of air. Her eyes were still opened, immediately we lifted her legs. My father tried to do CPR whiting less than 3 minutes she had bled from her nostrils and had vomited a bile. The last 3 months of her life she was diagnosed with Pulmonary Fibrosis, the hospital overdosed her with cortisone injections. She was bleeding for several months, except the day of her passing. Doctors questioned 11 months earlier whether she had Lymphoma, Hodgkin. Doctors were puzzled, my mom suffered for her last 11 months. Was her bleeding after passing and bile coming typical for her situation? | Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Pulmonary fibrosis itself can not cause bleeding from nose or bilious vomiting. She has been given excessive steroids. So this can cause gastric ulcers, Gastroparesis and gastritis. All these can cause vomiting, bleeding etc. So mostly excessive steroid injection and its side effects is cause of her bilious vomiting and bleeding. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Thanks. |
hiii,doc my problem is regarding my dad he is snr. pharmacist and practises at home too.from last few days he is not behaving nicely,always be silent lost in his own world,feels that call bell is ringing and not getting complete sleep.im really worried about his health.please help | Degree understand your concerns went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. People get disappointed with so many normal life events, when the events become over whelming. You should talk to your dad. Be sympathetic. Don't advise or guide. Just talk to him and be a good listener. Your dad should gain confidence in talking to you. He should open up. Then take him to a psychological counselor for further direction. Psychotherapy techniques should suit your requirement. If you require more of my help in this aspect, Please post a direct question to me in this URL. http |
I suffered malaria in 2009 and in 2010 I was diagnosed for speenomegaly with 16cm.But Dr suggested don t worry let s see whether it grows or coming back to normal size. Recently I visited hospital with stomach fullness and gas formation and also some discomfort. the Dr tested me with hands they found nodes in the neck.so asked to take scan,ultrasound and X-ray and also blood test. The blood test results were fine.No problem Dr said. They found very small lymph nodes in the neck and abdomen and also some stones in gallbladder. Now Dr said to make appointments with hametologist and gastro Dr. Let s hear from them too to find out the real problem. Please advice. | Hi, In most cases, treatment of gallstones is considered necessary only if you are having symptoms. Of the various conventional treatments that are available, surgical removal of the gallbladder is the most widely used. Some alternative treatments have also been found to be effective in alleviating the symptoms of troublesome gallstones. When deciding what course of action to take for symptomatic gallstones, doctors usually choose from among three main treatment options |
I have a rash that started on my ears, then lower arms, then behind my ears, down my neck and to my upper chest area. The rash is very faint with tiny, pinhead, red bumps and itches like crazy! I am nursing a 3 month old and am wondering what I can take to relieve the itching and what in the world could be causing this... I have never been prone to rashes before. Thank you for your help! | Hello would be pleased to answer your question. You seem to be having an urticaria allergic rash. You should take anti histamine like HY Chat Doctor. It is safe if taken in a small dose for a short period of time. You should however consult first with your pediatrician to approve and prescribe you the same. The literatures say that is safest among the anti histamines. However, Antihistamines sensitivity is very high in infants .so be cautious and see the risk and benefit ratio. I would in the meantime suggest you to apply over the counter lotion called SARA lotion which you can apply 2 to 3 times a day. Thanks and Take care |
I m trying to conceive for the last two weeks. My last period occurred on 28th jan. But the problem is that I have an irregular menstrual cycle. Also, as my husband and I only meet at weekends. Today I saw some spotting. This is an irregular time for the menstrual cycle. Can you give an opinion on this matter. | HI. You should consult a gynecologist who will first work towards establishing a diagnosis and working with you on regularizing your menstrual cycle. Once this is done, fertility will be checked by checking on your ovulation, and when this is calculated, if all is well you will be given your fertile days during which you will have to make it possible for you and your husband to engage in sexual activity whether you guys were otherwise planning on meeting. Best wishes. |

I went to my doctor late wednesday after noon and had my blood pressure checked, the cuff was very tight when pumped up and in fact the CMA pumped it even tighter to the point it kind of hurt. Thursday morning I had a spot the size of a half dollar that felt like I had slept wrong on it on the inside part of my upper arm. Friday morning my upper arm hurts so bad I cnt stretch it out, reach for things in front of me or above me. I have trouble getting a jacket on or off or pulling my pants up It feels muscle related but is extremely painful. If I let my arm hang down at my side it hurts and it is weak feeling. Ive never had this before, what can I do? | Hello! Welcome and thank you for asking on Chat Doctor! Your symptoms seem to be related to a nerve compression. It could be related to compression during sleep too, after staying in a wrong position. I would recommend consulting with a neurologist and performing a nerve conduction study to examine the nerves of your arm. Some blood lab tests (complete blood count, PCR, sedimentation rate) would also help exclude other causes like inflammation. Hope you will find this answer helpful! Kind regards, |
HI, My husband has slightly elevated AST and ALT results on two occasions. He has also lost about 30 pounds. This was following a fever that lasted about 7 weeks. His only other symptom seems to be joint pain in his knees and a cough that has lasted four months. He has had a clear chest x-ray The fever is gone now. The dr. just ran some blood tests to look for Hepatitis, but I have been really nervous about the cough and weight loss. Should we be doing other tests? | Hi welcome to the Chat Doctor Liver enzymes can be elevated in viral respiratory infection as well... You have not mentioned how rise was present in liver enzymes value... Prolonged cough, weight loss history can be suggestive towards tuberculosis like lung infection but chest x-ray was clear. Here for elevated liver enzymes and for respiratory symptoms following work up needed . -USG abdomen -CBC with peripheral smear examination -bag test -Anti HCV Elisa test -repeat chest x-ray -sputum examination if needed Is specific cause found than treated accordingly Consult physician for examination and investigate with above reports Take care |
My mother always cry whenever she is alone and also have a problem of high blood pressure, gas & stone in stomach. She likes to talk to others and dont want to work anymore because she think that she is physically weak. She always think negative and used to recall all her bad memories of life in the mean time.In our family, My father is usually busy in work, my brother is busy in his studies and i am pursuing my higher education which will complete in next year. As no one is with him thats why she is very depressed and she always tell that she want at least one person to be always with her but one thing positive about her is that she believes in God and like to spend more time on religious stuff.I want her to be always happy, whenever i make a call she told me that, she is fine but she used to cry at least 2 times in 3 days and sometimes more.So, what could be the best treatment to her | Hi, There are multiple options for treating depressive disorder, the one which your mother appears to be suffering from now. Before starting treatment I want to be sure of few things. I want to know her Thyroid levels in blood. Has she attained menopause and for how long? If not, Is she having disturbed menstrual cycle? How is her appetite and sleep?Also, we need to get her liver function and blood cells checked. Once we are sure that depression is not due to other physical problems she can be started on antidepressants like Escitalopram, Florentine, sertraline. There are numerous other medicines which will help her. The best could be chosen, once she is examined properly. You can also take her to a Psychotherapist so that few sessions of therapies like cognitive behavior therapy could be taken. She can discuss her problems there, and she would be enlightened with new understandings and also will be taught with some new skills which she might be lacking!! Regular food, sleep, exercise are all the first steps that you can right away start with. She can be definitely helped with so get her to psychiatrist for a detailed evaluation by the earliest. |

My friend has been diagnosed with stage 4 bladder cancer in October. It has spread to the lymph nodes. He had surgery to remove a tumor & started the chemo treatments. About 3 weeks ago he was told that the chemo is not helping and/or not working. He was then given a stronger chemo treatment last Friday. Apparently he got very ill while taking oxycotin & was then switched to morphine. He is weak, in a lot of pain & can hardly walk. Also the doctor was able to grab the lump in his neck when before that was not possible. It is now about 2 inches thick; The doctor said it has grown significantly. With the first chemo treatments he was fine, maybe a little sluggish but always made it to work on Monday. Now it seems he may be out for about 2 weeks depending how he feels. What does all this mean? | Hello, welcome to Chat Doctor. Your friend is having toxic effects of chemotherapy as well as the effects of tumor.

He needs to keep eating well and try to have frequent small meals of balanced diet rich in proteins. If patient is unable to tolerate chemotherapy further your doctor might need to discontinue it for some time and restart later. Wish him good health and speedy recovery. |
I dont know if I have HPV anymore. I got it when I was 16. I am now 19. I had visible warts on my anus one year after having sex for the first time (I have only had sex with one person my entire life). I got these visible warts right when i caught a cold (was 17 years old). Now I am 19 and I just got over my cold, but I did not develop any warts. Would it be safe to say that my immune system has fought it off? | HiT hanks for posting on ChatDoctorHPV is a sexually transmissible infection that may not have any Chat Doctor. All you need is to have a healthy lifestyle, eat well and balanced and avoid other infections or things that can weaken the immune system. When the immune system is strong enough, it may hardly manifest, and you may get spontaneous healing. The absence of Warts however, does not mean the infection has gone away. I will suggest you take the test again and do a colonoscopy to eliminate any precancerous cervical lesion. Hope my answer will help you Best regards |

I have a diagnosis of fibromyalgia and usually take an inhaler for asthma.

The left side of my face; from the jaw line to under the lower eye line is swollen and painful.It extends to my ear. I was bit by a spider on the left side of neck 6 days ago. The swelling has been slowly increasing since then. The inside of my mouth is bright red and several teeth ache. One of the teeth had a root canal 6-7 years ago. Is this result of the bite or is it the tooth? How can I tell? | Hi, Thanks for asking the query, Swelling near the eyelid is due to the spider bite, make sure that you are immunized for tetanus if you are not so in the last five years. Infection caused by the spider bite can be treated with the help of antibiotics. As such most of the cases of spider bites heal by themselves. For toothache, you need to visit the Dentist and get the checkup done, take an x-ray of the tooth, if the tooth is re-infected you have to go for reject. Take complete course of antibiotics and analgesics. Maintain a good oral hygiene. Hope this helps out. Regards. |
Hello, Im writing because a year ago I had all 4 of my wisdom teeth taken out because they were impacted and causing me pain. A couple months after the fact, a small solid but painless bump appeared on the outside of my gums by the upper left extraction site. As recently as a month ago, the bump seemed to be more sensitive and a tiny pointed bone like protrusion seemed to work its way through the soft tissue. That has since healed over and isnt nearly as swollen, however now the upper right side seems to be starting to swell. Anything you can tell me to help would be appreciated. | Hello |
i have what seem to be bug bites on my arm very itchy and somewhat swollen. One of them is white with a redish outlining.

HiI have a lump behind my right ear. Ive had an ultrasound and am now being sent for a CT scan. Ive started to get pins and needles in my right arm and hand and my jaw gets tired easily when Im eating. Ive just got blood test results back too. Im really worried. | Hi. The lump behind the ear is mostly due to a lymph node. Rarely it can be due to infection of underlying mastoid bone or a sebaceous cyst or a lipoma or very rarely hematoma. You would have noted any local symptoms like pain, redness behind the ear, if these are not there and there is no history of mastoid surgery or trauma, there is less to worry about it and this being noticed incidentally. Your symptoms of pins and needles on the right arm and hand can be due to co-existing cervical spine problem. Jaw getting tired easily on eating can be due to other reasons. Anyway it was a good decision to get the tests done. Let us wait for the results, till then you can relax. As stress will increase the muscular spasms and symptoms of arm, hand and jaw. Please let us know the reports and other symptoms if you have for us to guide you further. |
Hello, I have been having intermittent, crampy pain in my upper abdomen ever since I had an EGD with biopsies of my esophagus, Antrum, and duodenum. The procedure was five days ago, and while the pain hasnt worsened (and certainly isnt intolerable) Im wonderiing if this is common, and also curious as to what might be the cause. Thanks. | Hi and welcome to Chat Doctor. There are many possible causes but most common are gastritis, HERD, gallstones or IBD. When you rule these out then some more serious diagnosis should be considered. You should change your dietary and lifestyle habits and see will it improve. This is the best treatment. Also, you should take some antacid medicines. To check your liver, gallbladder and pancreas you should do abdominal ultrasound and then plan further tests. Wish you good health. |
hi my father has been undergoing chemotherapy treatment .he had undergone a total gastrectomy surgery 3 months back.he was on his third chemo session when his total blood count dropped down to 1000.he is being given injection to raise the bloodcount..but sincethe past 3 days he is suffering from chronic headache and giddiness.the headache goes on for 5 minutes and this countinues as a cycle every half another or more frequent.is this because of low blood count? the doctors say the headache is not attributed to chemo treatment.has taken ct scan, mri scan chest xray..everything seems normal.chemotablet used is Xeloda 500mg.(taking 2000mg per day on a 14 day couse in a 21 day cycle) | Hi, Thanks for writing in. Chemotherapy is a stressful event and patients might have certain side effects after taking chemotherapy. It is possible that your father is still having low hemoglobin and anemia because of which there is regular headache. The doctors probably intend to say that the headache is not a direct result of chemotherapy but due to hemoglobin. Since CT scan and MRI scan have shown normal findings therefore it is unlikely to be due to any bleeding or infection in the brain. However, headache due to anemia might be occurring. Right now focus should be on increasing his nutrition and giving him a daily diet of 2200 kcal is recommended. These might be as foods which he likes and water, and fresh juices are to be given in adequate amounts. Please protect him from any infection by taking precautions. Please do not worry. |

I recently had a Colonoscopy, and I was told I would be put to sleep and wouldnt feel a thing. That was so not true. I had horrible pain during the procedure and I had something to compare it to, because I had one before which was totally painless. This time I not only had a lot of pain, but my abdomen hurt all week. I felt like someone had punched me in the abdomen. | Hello, Thanks for the query to Chat Doctor. Forum. As already colonoscopy done on previous occasion and now again, your main complaint is pain during procedure and even after 7 days pain present.

Ok so I have list of complaints that I never thought went together but now I am worried that they do. Im a 29 year old male. I originally went to the doctor about two-three years ago for unexplained back pain. X-rays were negative, blood work and urine tests only showed slightly elevated uric acid. I was told I may have the precursors to gouty arthritis. I was given ultram for the pain. Now, in addition to the back pain I am experiencing pins and needles in my back and sometimes chest area especially at times of temperature change like hot baths or a cool breeze. I am constantly fatigued but I have a poor diet and dont exercise except for my job as a warehouse worker. Lately Ive had some trouble swallowing as well and once or twice unexplained general weakness. Any ideas? | For generalize weakness I suggest taking vitamin B complex as it's an energy Booster vitamin, for gouty arthritis take omega 3suppliment as it is a natural anti-inflammatory supplement and there are many other benefits available along with it. To reduce uric acid level or production you need to consult a dietician too. I can suggest something that avoid any fruits or vegetable which contain too many seeds like tomato, brinjal, red chili, etc. And yes doing regular work out is also very important. Our body also have got healing capacity for anything goes wrong in the body. And it works best when we are active doing enough walking a day, and when body sweats. Along with this you will also start feeling good and active. Take care |
My sister had to have an emergency surgery to have her appendix removed. When the doctors started the procedure they couldnt even see her appendix because her colon and intestines were wrapped around it. They removed part of her colon, intestine and lymph nodes. They also said her white blood cell count was very high. They are checking for cancer. I am now very concerned. Can you tell me more. Thank you. | Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor, Inflamed appendix is occasional wrapped around by intestines and momentum. Appendix is not usually visible in this situation and surrounding structures have to be removed along with appendix and examined histopathologically to look for appendix and inflammation in the appendix. High blood cell count occurs most commonly in infections. Blood cancers can also cause high blood counts, however, peripheral blood smears examination is required to find out whether the elevated counts are due to infection or some other cause. Thanks and take care Chat Doctor. |
I have post nasal drip and sores on the side of my tongue. I drink a lot of fluids, but I feel like I have to keep sticking my tongue out to swallow properly and I feel as though I have to swallow constantly.

However, since I stopped both medications, the symptoms remain. | Cellophane You for contacting Chat Doctor. As you have chronic allergy problem, so I would recommend you to try following |
I ve been starting to occassionally have pressure in my head if I lay stomach first one my bed. It is relieved by standing back up. Today, it was bad enough to make me real dizzy, but again relieved by standing upright and then sitting in a chair for awhile. | Hello, As you mentioned giddiness and headache. I would like to ask you a few things - are you diabetic, are you having any signs of hypertension, If none of this then this could be related to vertigo and may have to get it examined by a neurologist, for medication and later a physiotherapist for vertigo exercise. In case you have pain in the neck then examining the neck and taking an MRI should help understand the soft tissue and management post that. As most people even have dizziness, headaches due to neck pathology.

She would vomit every time she would sit up, couldn t walk and complained that her head hurt, she also had a bladder accident and said she didn t even know she needed to go. I took her in on Monday- strept and urine fine; and Doc thought possibly viral meningitis. sent us home told me to keep fever under control- call if it got worse or if confusion ect took place or a rash. That night her fever was only brough to 102 with ibprofrin and cold wash cloths, cool bath. 2 am fever broke she was fine.

Five days ago I have a heart catherization done and they put in a stent cause I had 95% blockage. Since I came home from the hospital there has been an increased amount of bruising and well as a burning pain in the groin area all the way up to my rib area. I also have bruising of my testicles and penis. I have a hard time being on my feet for very long. I am a 54 year old male. Should I be seeking medical attention? | Respected sir, If there is local pain and increased bruising, both of which has increased post discharge, I humbly request you to inform your cardiology as there may be a local hematoma (blood clot) or pseudo aneurysm, which are known complications of femoral artery puncture(leg artery), used to assess the heart artery to put stent. Many a time they are managed conservatively so no need to worry in that context, but because you are on blood thinner, do inform your cardiologist |
ex rays shows the appearances of the lung parenchyma show basal bronchovascular crowding due to suboptimal respiratory effort .bronchial wall thickening is seen and bronchovescular markings noted of cocern for endobrochial inflammotory change / bronchoitis | Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Normally bronchus are not visible on chest x-ray. But when bronchus are inflamed, their walls are edematous and thickened. These thick walls are visible on chest x-ray. Same thing is happening in your case. So possibility of either infection or bronchitis is more in your case. Smoking and allergies are the most common cause for this. So if you are smoker than quit smoking as soon as possible. Also consult pulmonologist and get done clinical examination of respiratory system and PFT (Pulmonary Function Test). You may need antibiotics, antihistamines, inhaled bronchodilators and inhaled corticosteroid. So better to first diagnose yourself and then start appropriate treatment. Hope I have solved your query. Wish you good health. Thanks. |

I have a high calcium level and and a high TSH level. I have undergone treatment for a hypothryroid in the past with no success. The last two years I have gained 80 pounds, Im chronically fatigued and I have been experiencing increased head aches and dizzy spells. How do I find a doctor who knows more about the thyroid/pituitary function and is willing to do additional testing? | Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor, High levels of TSH suggest hypothyroidism or low levels of thyroid hormones. Replacement therapy with thyroid hormones is required. High levels of calcium can occur in number of conditions like hyperparathyroidism or any other condition causing bone resorption. The structure and function of parathyroids is required. For more assistance, you need to consult an endocrinologist. Thanks and take care Chat Doctor. |
My MRI indicted that I have a bulging disc that is forming the ventral surface of the cord without abnormal cord signal (C2-C3) Also, C4-C5, C5-C6 moderate to severe canal stenosis impinging upon the cord without evidence of acute myelopathy or myelomalacia I am planning to see a Neurosurgeon but wonder how serious this situation is in relation to possible permanent injury. Thank you | Hello, The report suggests that you possibly have compression of the spinal roots between C2-6 at varying degrees of severity. You probably have pain, tingling numbness or weakness in the arms (in varying degrees and combinations). I would really need to see the scan directly to know exactly how much is the damage. If you upload the pictures of the scan, I can probably try to help you out with the report further. I think, it would be safe to start a minimal dose of Pregabalin Chat Doctor. However, since symptoms are not mentioned, I cannot tell you the treatment accurately. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. |
HI!Im Nishtha.Last year,from 26th sep 2010 to 26 oct(roughly)2010 i got a rabipur injection all 5 doses as i had a doubt that the street dog licked me on an unhealed part of my feet as it was very dark in that area and i wasnt sure whether it licked or not.but i didnt get the booster dose as i wasnt aware of it and the doctor didnt mention about the booster dose.i got 5 rbipur.tell me for how long this 5 dose will be effective.Bcause yesterday morning a cat entered my room when i was sleeping but wen i got up suddenly from deep sleep i saw that it jumped on floor and left after my loud shriek.i hav doubt what if it licked me on my scratched skin or corn in foot or jumped on me wen i was asleep.it didnt jump on me wen i was awake nor i found any scratch from the cat on my body.tell me wat to do.i consulted the physician he told me that as i already had a dose of 5 injections a year ago then i need not worry .he said the 5 doses will last for 2 to 3 years.iwant to be doubly sure.pls answer i hope it is free consultation. | Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor, Cat is a known reservoir of rabies virus, and it can transmit rabies to the humans. Rabies is 100% fatal, but it is 100% preventable by proper and adequate treatment. As you were licked by a dog on the open wound previously for which you have received all five shots of anti rabies vaccine as per the schedule of post exposure prophylaxis. Once again you are in doubt that the cat has licked the open wound recently. According WHO categorization of animal bite, you will be categorized into Re-Exposures. You should receive two doses of anti rabies vaccine on days 0 and 3. The vaccine should be taken to shoulder. This will remove all the anxiety associated with the doubtful contact of cat saliva with your wound. Thank you. |
I am in severe pain from a lower molar extraction three days ago. I have been taking 4 ibproufen every 6 hours along with 2 norco 5MG tablets. The pain subsides but only for 2 hours then I am back to the drawing board. I want to also add I had the PRF with bone graft on this site. Can you still get a dry socket and if so is this what is going on? | Hi. Thanks for the query. Pain after 3 days of extraction and graft can be due to Infection at the site or can be inflammation that is a regular course of any surgical procedure. If the pain is unbearable then you should consult an Oral Physician and get evaluated. A clinical examination and x-ray of extraction site should be done so that the exact cause of the symptoms can be ruled out. For now, you can take Motorola or Tramadol for pain relief. Do cool compresses over the cheek. Apply Lidocaine gel over the extraction site. Hope this helps. Regards. |

i recently found out that i was pregnant. i had had unprotected sex with someone and he did not ejaculate in me or at all for that matter. i was not in a relationship at that time but i was right before and right after that where i had unprotected sex and he did ejaculate in me. is there any chance that the one that did not ejaculate could be the one that got my pregnant? | Hello, Thanks for writing to us. Unprotected sex with pulled out method has high failure rate (around 15 to 27%) and it depends on ovulation time. You should know that pre-ejaculatory fluid (secreted before actual ejaculation) contains small amount sperm and may cause pregnancy if you were on the fertile period. Conclusion |

hi..i am 27yr old and a mother of a 4.5yr old baby girl.i was diagnosed with PCOD and did laproscopy almost 1 month back.Now my periods started and i was told to take ubiphene50 tablet twice daily for 5 days and i am already taking metformin500 thrice daily for last one month..What are the chances of me getting pregnant in this cycle.. | Hello thanks for your query.POD is a condition which interferes with normal ovulation. Many follicles are present in the ovary, but none matures into a follicle and ovulates. Hence, assuming your laparoscopy was normal, and both tubes were open, your infertility specialist is right in prescribing you iPhone. It contains camphene citrate, which stimulates the ovaries to produce mature follicles and hence is a treatment modality for POD. For women whose only infertility problem is an ovulation, up to 80% of patients will ovulate using this medication and 50% of those will conceive. Camphene may be combined with intrauterine insemination to boost the success of the medication by placing the sperm and egg in closer proximity to each other. All the best. |
Hi, I was diagnosed with major depressive disorder 21 years ago. Only in about the last 4-5 years have I felt somewhat normal, until recently that is. About the last 6 months Ive had a whole new set of symptoms. I am very easily irritated and when I do get irritated I get very mean, angry, upset, tearful and i just want to scream at everybody. At work I just want to be left alone to do my work and if I get any interruption from another employee I EXPLODE! I dont know what this is and I dont know how to control it and I dont know what to do. Can you please give me some idea as to what might be causing all this? Thank you, Mary Jo | Hi Mary Jo, It seems that for last 6 months, your depression have re-emerged. The symptoms that you have listed might be because of your feeling low which can easily make one more irritable. Wanting to be left alone and being tearful are also suggestive of depression. You haven't mentioned whether you are on any medication or not or if you had any treatment earlier. As a psychiatrist, I would advise you to consult a psychiatrist immediately either to review your current treatment or start you on treatment. Best wishes. |

I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You need to investigate properly to diagnose your problem. You should go for complete blood count and peripherals smear examination.

As you have taken emergency pill within 72 hours, It's highly unlikely that you are pregnant. The chances of pregnancy are less than 1%, the abnormal bleeding which you had on 12,13 might be a side effect of progesterone which you took as emergency pill. As the pregnancy test is negative and as you have missed your period, kindly get a scan done, if everything is normal you can take progesterone tablets for with Chat Doctor. Please ask if you have more questions. If you are satisfied, please make sure that your ACCEPT my answer so that I receive credit. Good luck!! |
Hello Doc! Please let me that conceiving process depends upon the male discharge into the female body only or male and female discharge at the same time results in pregnancy? Will the female discharge during the intercourse effects the pregnancy? Is it necessary or good or bad or neutral? | Hello! The conceiving process occurs when the ovum (female cell) and sperm (male cell) meet each other, merge and divide. So, the condition for this process to occur is having sexual contact. When the male ejaculate his semen inside your vagina, some of his sperm pass through the cervix and uterine cavity and reach your ovum at the level of the uterine tubes. Only one of this sperm is able to conceive the ovum and then the embryo is formed. |
My 9 yr old daughter recently started asking me strange questions. She told me she needed to pray because the devil was in her head telling god she hated him. She said she prayed to god and told him she didn t hate him. Then she asked am I ok? I asked her if the voice was hers or someone else s she said she didn t know. There have been a couple questions like this that she asks but basically all similar. She makes straight A s in school. She has lots of friends, could this just be a phase or should I be concerned? She is healthy. | Hi welcome to Chat Doctor If she hears the voice one or two episodes then need not consider much, just give her counseling not to be afraid, pray to Jesus Christ, everything will be normal. But if she frequently hears the voice, her sleep is less, appetite is decreased, decreased speech then you need to consult a psychiatrist. Do not worry much, pray to Lord Jesus, God will surely protect and answer. |

I injured my left elbow 3 weeks ago a pulled muscle/ligaments in back of arm up to triceps area, there was fluid build up and I had it drained and a week went by and fluid build up again. the dr put me on some anti-inflammatory med . the fluid that was drained had red tint of blood mixed in. I just had the second drain of fluid done on Friday and this is Sunday and there is fluid building up again, there is no pain, however the muscle is in strong and is still healing. what is causing the fluid build up ? and how can I stop it ? | hi Hope this msg finds u in good health. I have gone through your complaints and understand your concern. I feel u had a muscular injury that causes blood tinted fluid to accumulate in dependent parts. Unless the muscle has completely healed the accumulation won't subside. So I suggest u to take good amount of rest.vitamin tablets, and it will heal up eventually. Hope this answers your question. If u have any follow-up queries, feel free to consult me anytime. Thanks Take care god bless |
i have a chest pain and breathing problem i am not able to drink water and swallow food.i got my chest x-ray, eco-ECG done nothing abnomal got detected. i have so much of constant in pain the chest i cannot even drink one glass of water. please suggest some remedies i am 52 years old 5 feet45kg | Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Since your extensive cardiac work up is normal, no need to worry about heart diseases for your symptoms. We have to rule out lung related diseases (bronchitis) also. So get done PFT (Pulmonary Function Test). If PFT is also normal then no need to worry about lung diseases also. Sometimes stress and anxiety can also cause similar symptoms. So avoid stress and tension, be relaxed and calm. Consult psychiatrist and get done counselling sessions. 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. |
I had a tooth pulled 5 days ago. The pain was lessening up until last night it began to hurt again. Its controled by regular aspirin but is uncomfortable. I had to work the day of extraction and three days after long shifts. Is this pain normal. I can still see something on the hole (was red then a white covering and now is like a grey) | Hello, Thank you for consulting with Chat Doctor. Actually when a tooth is removed you should continue with the antibiotics and painkillers for 5 days and even follow the instructions given by the doctor. If you have followed all the instructions then pain might get relieved after 5 days. But as in your case, it looks that due to exertion the socket is not healing properly and that is why pain is present, there is a possibility of Chat Doctor. Better to visit your dentist again and get it treated. Hope it will help you. |
I m taking Proventil as needed for bronchial tightness. During allergy season is the worst time. For the past two weeks, I ve needed my inhaler nightly. I told my doctor about this, and he suggesting I go on Symbicort. I am reluctant to do this. What is your opinion? | HI, thanks for using Chat Doctor If your present medication is not controlling your asthma, it would be best to step up or change it. Uncontrolled asthma is associated with both short term and long term risks (long term changes to the lungs). If the Symbicort control the asthma, then you should use it. You may not need to be on it permanently. If the asthma is controlled, step down to other medication may be tried. I hope this helps |

hi, so I m 39 weeks as of tomorrow, I m crying for no reason, can t sleep, and would like to know if it would be better or worse for me to try and put myself into labor? I should also mention as horrible as I feel about it I smoke about 1/2 pack a day (which is cut from over full pack) and last OB appointment baby weighed in at 5 lbs 15 oz. | Degree understand your concerns went through your details. First I should request you to stop the smoking because it is going to harm your child, your body as well as your psychological problems like depression and anxiety. You are already stressed. From the given symptoms, you are suffering from pre-natal depression. It can interfere with a women ability to care for herself during her pregnancy. You may be less able to follow medical recommendations, as well as sleep and eat properly. The condition can also put you at risk for greater use of tobacco, alcohol, and illegal Chat Doctor. Evidence suggests that many antidepressant medicines are safe for treating depression during pregnancy, and will not harm your growing baby, at least according to the results from short-term studies. You should discuss the possible risks and benefits of antidepressants with your doctor. If necessary, he or she should also be able to refer you to a mental health specialist. Don't worry. You will be able to face the delivery as scheduled. If you require more of my help in this aspect, please use this URL. http |
