Patient Details: my son 9 year old is suffering with epilepsy since 5 yrs, on traetment.he gets convulsions while in sleep 4-5 times and it happens every week or10 days, he is on keppra and rivotril. he 140cm and 40 kgs. cuurently treating dr is dr shylaja from sree chitra.<\|eot_id\|><\|start_header_id\|>assistant<\|end_header_id\|> hi, welcome to this forum. Can understand your concerns.- Convulsions in a 9 year old child can be due to infection like meningitis, neurocysticercosis, encephalitis; electrolyte imbalance like hypocalcemia, hypernatremia; primary brain tumor or tuberculoma.- Infections like meningitis, encephalitis, abscess, neurocysticercosis can cause seizure in children. There is usually history of fever.- Electrolyte imbalance like hypercalcemia and hyponatremia can also cause seizure in children.- Space occupying lesion like neurocysticercosis, and tuberculoma can also lead to convulsion in children.- Investigations like complete blood count, serum electrolytes should be done. EEG and CT Scan of brain also needs to be done.- The treatment depend on the cause of convulsions. Anticonvulsant medicine should be given regularly and any dose should not be missed. An opinion from Neurologist should also be taken.I hope this will help you. Wishing your child good health. Take care.<\|eot_id\|>

Patient Details: My 5 year developed small, red bumps on the bottom of his feet. The day before I took him to the doctor he broke out on the top of his feet, hands, elbows and knees. The bumps are mild and he says they do not itch. He will be seeing a dermatologist next week. He was on antibiotics for several weeks prior to this rash; twice for strep and then for a tick bite. My husband and I have been noticing his stool is a bright green as well. He is not a big vegetable eater. Is there any connection with the antibiotics, stool, and rash? Could he have killed all the good bacteria in his body?<\|eot_id\|><\|start_header_id\|>assistant<\|end_header_id\|> Hi...I feel by what you quote he should be having a - Hand Foot Mouth disease. This is one viral illness among all other exanthemas which can cause fever followed by rash over palms and soles. It is a self-limiting disorder and itching can be really worrisome. I suggest you use any over the counter antihistamine if you have one with you now. You can use Hydroxyzine at 1-2mg/kg/dose (Maximum 10mg) every 6th to 8th hourly for 7 days. This can even cause some peeling of skin in the next 4-6 weeks and do not worry about it.but as you say antibiotics were not indicated in this condition as it is viral illness. Antibiotics could have been the reason for this antibiotic associated diarrhea. I suggest you use probiotic with Saccharomyces boulaardii in it like Econorm or G-Norm. THE RASH IS NOT RELATED TO ANTIBIOTIC - IT IS RELATED TO VIRAL ILLNESS.Regards - Dr. Sumanth.<\|eot_id\|>

Patient Details: Three weeks ago I was in the hospital emergency room and had a heart attack. I flat lined and they had to shock me to get me back. They had to shock me four more times to get my heart beating like it should. I m 82 and this is my third heart attack (first was 1999 and second in 2000). After going through rehab in 2000, I got to where I was running 6 miles in an hours time, three times a week until my knee got bad. My question...is it normal to feel this weak like I do? It wasn t like this in 2000.<\|eot_id\|><\|start_header_id\|>assistant<\|end_header_id\|> Hello,Since it is the third time you have a heart attack, you need to be more careful about your health and take the necessary precautions. Your body needs time to recover since you had a major cardiac event. You will feel tired weak, and you should not be in a hurry to start back running or walking like before. Kindly take your medicines as advised by your cardiologist, follow dietary precautions, include fruits and vegetables in your diet. Watch the color of your urine, if it's dark yellow means you are dehydrated, which can be also one of the cause for your weakness. Hope I have answered your query.

Patient Details: Hi, I coughed and felt and heard a pop on my middle left side/back. Had instant pain after that about 8 on a 1-10 scale. Doesn t hurt much when I am at rest but when I move a certain way or cough it is very painful. Is this a cracked rib or pulled muscle or? e-mail is YYYYYYYY.<\|eot_id\|><\|start_header_id\|>assistant<\|end_header_id\|> Hello, Thanks for your query.It might be soft tissue injury or fracture rib. Without X-ray, it is difficult to differentiate a fracture from others. I suggest you to consult an orthopaedician nearby for a detailed examination. You may get the X-ray of the area affected under his/her guidance. In the interim,apply ice packs to the affected area,anti-inflammatory drug like motrin to reduce pain and inflammation. Avoid lifting and rest well. I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query.Take care.<\|eot_id\|>

Hallucination and violent behavior. Anti psychotic medication? Patient Details: My father is 83-year-old and has a long history of various ailments, including dementia. He had suffered a massive heart attack when he was 39 year. He was doing fine with medication but in last seven years he had many strokes damaging his brain. Of late he has become very violent and also hallucinate a lot. He was taking Zapiz earlier to control his anxiety. Please advise which is the best antipsychotic drug for him.<\|eot_id\|><\|start_header_id\|>assistant<\|end_header_id\|> Hi, Based on your history, it seems that your father had previous heart attack (CAD), followed by repeated brain stroke ( CVA ), which have led to multi infarct dementia in your father which is producing all these psychotic symptoms. Another reason of psychosis (hallucination) can be due to involvement of certain lobes of brain (temporal, frontal lobe), it can be also a seizure phenomenon( autonomic seizures)if symptoms are episodic.Consult neurologist and psychiatrist for evalaution and management. Being a cardiac patient antipsychotic of choice in his case is Qutiapine to start 25mg twice daily then titrate to maximum dose Regards Dr Sandhya Manorenj Neurophysician Hi tech city, Hyderabad.<\|eot_id\|>

Patient Details: Hi I am a 39 year old female, non smoker, not asthmatic however I keep getting pleurisy. Oridinarily I am in good health and am not on any medication. I have had 2 bouts of it in the past year and I feel it coming on for a third time. Ordinarily I don't suffer with shortness of breath or struggle to walk or run or dance. It is only when the episode presents itself in the form of pain in my lungs when I breath which worserns over time and the absolute exahustion and weakness that I feel. Once I had tightness in my chest as well and had what I describe to be like a panic attack when I couldn't catch my breath. That happened twice. I would be grateful if you could advise. Thanks Dawn.<\|eot_id\|><\|start_header_id\|>assistant<\|end_header_id\|> Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.I can understand your concern. In my opinion, we should definitely rule out bronchitis in your case. So consult pulmonologist and get done clinical examination of respiratory system and PFT (Pulmonary Function Test). If PFT is normal then no need to worry for bronchitis. Sometimes stress, anxiety and panic disorder can also cause similar symptoms. So consult psychiatrist and get done counselling sessions. Try to identify stressor in your life and start working on its solution.You may need anxiolytic drugs (propranolol and flunarizine combination) too.Don't worry, you will be alright with all these. Avoid stress and tension, be relax and calm. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.<\|eot_id\|>

Patient Details: I m a 15 year old long distance runner and when I first got injured 4 months ago I had strained hip flexor with a sharp low back pain and bilateral hip pain I could barely walk but I managed it, after my low back healed in about a week I never really knew what it was, and the hip flexors healed in two months, after that I still have the bilateral hip pain. It hurts to bear my weight on the left and right it feels achy and sometimes sharp if I do a sudden wrong movement the pain is more intense when I wake up in the morning or when I get up from a seated position.sometimes it hurts in the side of the hip and sometimes in the front it feels like it changes position as to where the pain is located. The docs said at first it was growing pains because there was nothing wrong on the xray. I m getting an MRI done this Saturday but I want to rule out some of the possibilities first. I haven t ran or trained and the hip pain feels muscular or like tendon pains somedays it hurts more and some days it feels like it s almost gone but it s a never ending cycle it feels like if a muscle or tendon is being stretched too hard or pulled causing pain when I stick out my hip.<\|eot_id\|><\|start_header_id\|>assistant<\|end_header_id\|> Hi,you have taken a right decision for going for an MRI, it will rule out any hip joint related cause of pain if any, muscular pains due to strain usually heal by 3 to 6 months. continue light activity and avoid heavy jogging and running, also be patient and wait for the outcome of MRI scanning.Relieve yourself of tension.Hope I helped you understand your symptoms.<\|eot_id\|>

However I am looking for the best treatment that can be made......please suggest me.<\|eot_id\|><\|start_header_id\|>assistant<\|end_header_id\|> Hello, No, this is not true. RA (rheumatoid arthritis) is autoimmune ( connective tissue) disease. It is not caused by injury. It is because of body's own immunity. And just only on the basis of the positive Mantoux test, you should not start antitubercular drugs. RA itself can cause pulmonary nodules, fibrosis etc. So in my opinion, you should consult pulmonologist and get done a bronchoscopy and BAL (bronchoalveolar lavage) analysis. If BAL is negative for TB then no need for anti-tubercular drugs. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Patient Details: Hi doctor, My wife has periods issue. She was on birth control pills for about 3 years to get periods. We got married six months ago. She stopped them now as we pretty soon started thinking of having a baby. My doubts are will sex trigger periods? Is there any connection between these? Is there any other way to induce period? She is 32 now and so we are little concerned. She also has a phobia of intercourse. When we address the issue with a therapist, I would like to know medically anything can be done to make her get periods. Once she is comfortable with intercourse then we will go down that path. Please suggest.<\|eot_id\|><\|start_header_id\|>assistant<\|end_header_id\|> Hi. First, we should consider the reason behind the fact that she needs pills to get periods. Was she diagnosed with any hormonal problem? If not then she has to do blood/serum tests. Hb % (hemoglobin), TC (total blood count), DC (differential count), fasting blood sugar, TSH (thyroid stimulating hormone), prolactin, testosterone, FSH (follicle stimulating hormone), LH (luteinizing hormone) and ultrasound of pelvis, to know the exact cause, depending on which medicines can induce periods. Sex can trigger periods only if there is any psychological issue. But do not rely on this. Yes, medically a lot can be done to induce periods and ovulation.<\|eot_id\|>

I dread having any more angiograms and dont want to appear neurotic. What should I do next? The tablet do seem to be helping with breathing and to a certain extent I am able to walk further without being out of breath. (I am 72yrs) Do I just have to know my limitations and learn to live with this?<\|eot_id\|><\|start_header_id\|>assistant<\|end_header_id\|> Hello and thank you for using HCM.I carefully read your question and I totally understand your concern.As you are a person diagnosed with ischemic heart disease,meaning having problems with coronary arteries that supply the heart, we allays suspect heart problems when a chest pain appears.You haven't mention the result of the last angiography. I should inform you that there is a slow risk for your stents to be occluded. This risk to have stenosis or blockage in the stents that you have is bigger in the first 6 months.So,if you tell that you do have chest pain it is important to exclude a stent stenosis. Or you might have stenosis in arteryes that should be treated just by medications. But only coronaro-graphy could tell this. There is not a limitation for angyogram number if the doctor has strong suspects that it is something wrong.To decide if you should do coronaro-graphy again or not we should do a balance. If i was your treating doctor i will judge your pain if it is typical or not, but you explain it as a typical one and if it is possible a stress test to see the electrocardiogram evolution.So, it is important to know the full result of your last angiogram and than decide what to do.Hope I was helpful. Wish you good health.Best regards.<\|eot_id\|>

Cervix is the lower part of the uterus. You have been prescribed antifungal medication and your doctor is right in doing a colposcopy to rule out deeper infection.Please do not worry, this infection is treatable. Please complete the full course of therapy prescribed.Wishing you a speedy recovery.Thanks.<\|eot_id\|>

Patient Details: I use to have convulsion as because of brain surgery due to anurysm and clipping was done. Now as my sperm count is less doctors advised mw to take all 9 m once after breakfast. I am worried if convulsion starts again. and i take medicines eslify, lamitor od and solzam 5.<\|eot_id\|><\|start_header_id\|>assistant<\|end_header_id\|> Hi, thanks for asking from HCM.I can understand your concern. You are on three anti epileptics that is eslify (eslicarbazepine), lamitor (lamotrigine) and solzam (clobazam). Your semen analysis is showing low sperm count. Your doctor is advising you to take medication after breakfast. Your should not worry about seizures. You can start taking medication after breakfast. But do not miss the dose. Shift the routine of drug intake one by one, not all at once. You will experience sedation in morning after taking solzam. So be careful, avoid driving/going alone/walking on roads. And also these medications do not cause low sperm count. There is no effect on sperm count or motility.Kindly ask your doctor to repeat an EEG of you to find the seizure focus. If you have not experienced any seizure in last 3 years and your EEG is normal, your seizure medication can be discontinued under supervision. Hope it will help you. If still having doubts, do let me know.Thanks. Take care.Dr Ishu Bishnoi.<\|eot_id\|>

What is this? Patient Details: Good morning Doctor, Last week Wednesday I started to get a red, itchy rash on my ears, eyebrows and cheeks that then spread to my entire face by Friday. Developed fever and headaches on Friday too. Started using stop itch creams. Unfortunately the rash spread to the inner sections of my elbows late Friday and really flared up over the weekend. The rash has started spreading to my neck, chest areas. Could not sleep last night because it was itching and burning all day and night. Woke up this morning with swollen eyes. The area around my mouth, a circle is not effected with a rash...only a few bumps on the line of the lip. What type of rash do I have?<\|eot_id\|><\|start_header_id\|>assistant<\|end_header_id\|> Hi, Thanks for writing in. Rash you are describing can be tinea carporis,contact dermatitis, viral exanthem.

Patient Details: 45 yr female, 225 lb, hypertension with chronic kidney disease III, and constant migraines. Quality of life is nil, and doctors have not been able to offer relief, so I am ready to stop the pain myself. I have taken 40 10mg Norvasc pills this morning. Without intervention, is this a fatal dosage?<\|eot_id\|><\|start_header_id\|>assistant<\|end_header_id\|> Hi,Thanks for writing in.Norvasc 10mg is amlodipine and used in treatment of blood pressure and heart related disorders. This is not a pain medication and I suggest you discuss your pain in detail with your doctors, friends and family and the need to take higher pain relievers. You condition is understandable but it is important that you continue to live and forget about ending your life in this manner. I am sure there are a lot of friends and relative who are there to support you at all times and help you out with your pain.It would appear that the lethal level of amlodipine is in the range of 40 milligrams per kilogram. Adults taking up to 250 milligrams have remained asymptomatic. Survival following a 560 milligram overdose has been reported. So if you have taken 40 pills of 10mg then most likely you will survive and please seek immediate medical attention.<\|eot_id\|>

Patient Details: I am 31 weeks pregnant and have been having soreness - painful soreness- in my sternum for several days now. The pain also goes into my right breast and even had the veins in my right breast looking almost bruised the other night. Is this something to worry about? It has lasted for 4 days now and I have a doctor's appointment scheduled in one week, but should I seek out an earlier appointment? I am 32 years old, 31 weeks pregnant.<\|eot_id\|><\|start_header_id\|>assistant<\|end_header_id\|> Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic. I can understand your concern. Yes, you should definitely consult your doctor immediately and get done clinical examination of local part of right breast. You are having pain and bruised veins on that part of breast. These are seen in breast infection like breast abscess. During pregnancy, there is milk production in breast. Since you have not delivered, this milk will stay in the breast and make breast engorged and tender. It also causes infection and this can lead to abscess formation. So better to get done clinical examination and ultrasound examination of breast as soon as possible. You may need antibiotic, anti inflammatory and painkiller drugs. Application of warm water pad on affected areas is also beneficial. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.<\|eot_id\|>

That could be the reason for your bone pains and dizziness. I suggest you get a contrast enhanced CT scan of the abdomen and a bone scan. That will confirm or refute the suspicion.

Someone may fear dogs or cats or rats or snakes or spiders; others may be consciously troubled by the thought of a natural calamity earthquake or flood or volcano; and as you mention you are afraid of intruders who may harm those around you. You seem to have developed a 'phobic' disorder.A real terror attack doesnt generate as much turmoil for a phobic individual as does confrontation with their feared object. You are in a constant fear of such a situation arising and hence the restless and anticipatory anxiety of these situations. Phobias require restructuring of the faulty learning principles so the feared behavior is unlearned. There are therapy techniques like relaxation training, situational exposure, exposure with cognitive restructuring, and social skills training which can help you get rid of this fear. Medication helps assist the management of anxiety that usually co-exist because of the negative perceptions that have been established in your mind.You would really benefit with consulting an expert professional to help you deal with this fear.

Patient Details: Hi doctor, I am having a 1-month-old baby and been facing several issues. He is crying a lot even after feeding him properly, burping him, checking his diaper, making him comfortable and ruling out other health issues and having a hard time in consoling him. We have tried pacifiers for him but avoiding it as I was told they are not good for the baby as they take in more air through pacifiers. White noise is working well but I am afraid he may become dependent on it for sleeping and will not sleep if I do not keep white noise. I am having poor sleep because of this and depending on coffee to control sleep. I am having several queries. How to console him so that he can sleep properly? Is it fine to use white noise to calm him? Is it fine to breastfeed him while I am having a fever? I am expressing milk sometimes and feeding him through a bottle. Can I express milk and store for future usage? If so how long can I store and use it? I am having one or two cups of coffee each day does this effect the baby through milk? Also, my milk production is less and depending more on formula milk. Please advise me.<\|eot_id\|><\|start_header_id\|>assistant<\|end_header_id\|> Hi. From your history, it seems you are taking excellent care of the child. Good. Now for your queries. Children below the age of 6 months sleep in the day and stay awake at night. It is normal. There is no medicine for the same. As regards to consoling a baby, you can use white noise (no dependency or harm) or whisper songs in the babies ear, give the baby pacifier (no issue of taking in the air or anything like that. The child is anyways going to pass gas like a big person. It is normal). Swing the baby in a light to and fro motion, swaddle the baby in some cloth wrapping. Important point: Another reason for the child to keep crying continuously may be poor feeding. As you have mentioned, the milk production is less, it is expected since you are under stress. So do not worry. Also, you can try giving breastfeeding first followed by top feeds. If the child is still hungry the child will consume the top feeds. Let the child consume as much as it wants. Advisable to avoid breastfeeding while having a fever as you may transmit the organism by close contact with the baby. In such cases, you can give expressed milk or top feeds. Use a mask when coughing if you are feeding the baby. Yes, you can theoretically store milk at room temperature up to three hours, fridge up to 12 hours and deep freezer up to 24 to 48 hours minimum. However, I personally do not advise to do this because there are chances the milk may get contaminated by the various organisms in the surroundings of the house. There is no effect of coffee on the milk taken by the baby. Golden rule: Sleep when the baby sleeps and stay awake when the baby is awake for at least the first few months if you want to have peace of mind.<\|eot_id\|>

Patient Details: Good Morning, On January 1st i fell down a flight of stairs and was told i was unconscious for about 7 minutes. I was rushed to the Er. Cat Scan revealed a nondisplaced fracture through the pars interarticularis on the left at c7 and nondisplaced fracture involving the inferior tip of the inferior articulating facet of c6.

Undisplaced fracture normally heals within 6 to 8 weeks duration if protected with hard cervical collar. Reason for pain is due to your spine fracture and tingling and numbness on lleft side of upper limb is mostly due to nerve compression as a result of haematoma that occurs around fracture. So take proper rest and maintain neck in collar for 6 weeks and you will be all right. All the best.u do not require any type of surgery.<\|eot_id\|>

Injected it with cortisone. Cancer? Patient Details: I have a small (little larger then a pea) lump on the right side of my chin. i went to a dermatologist and he opened it expecting to find material inside. there was just blood. He injected it with cortizone and it didi get alittle smaller. 3 week later i went back and he injected it again. It has gotten even small but is still there. I go back in two weeks and if it is not significantly gone he wants to biopsy it. Does he think this is cancer?<\|eot_id\|><\|start_header_id\|>assistant<\|end_header_id\|> Hi, biopsy does not always indicate a cancer. without proper history regarding nature of swelling and associated features it is difficult to comment on diagnosis. anyway as he has ordered biopsy you should go for it. exact tissue diagnosis then can be easily made and treatment can be done. cosult dermatologist.<\|eot_id\|>

Patient Details: I am 48 years and have high blood pressure for the last 15 years. Now I have also vision problem fundoscopy shows a lot of changes. My blood pressure sometime shoots up to 220/145. I am taking a lot of medicines for blood pressure and chest pain. Please advise what to do?.<\|eot_id\|><\|start_header_id\|>assistant<\|end_header_id\|> Hello!Thank your for asking on HCM!Regarding your concern, I would explain that uncontrolled high blood pressure can lead to irreversible changes in the retinal artery, causing troubles with the vision. Coming to this point, a better control of blood pressure values would help stop the progression of these changes. You should also know that with such blood pressure values, you are at an increased risk for stroke, heart attack or intracranial bleeding. So, I would recommend discussing with your doctor on the possibility of optimizing your current anti-hypertensive therapy. Some blood tests are needed to exclude secondary causes of uncontrolled high blood pressure: - complete blood count for anemia- thyroid hormone levels for possible thyroid dysfunction- blood electrolytes for electrolyte imbalance - kidney and liver function tests - fasting glucose and HbA1C. You should discuss with your doctor on the above issues!Kind regards, Dr. Iliri.<\|eot_id\|>

Patient Details: Hi doctor, I have a diagnosis of disc herniation. I have done an MRI. I have severe pain in the left leg. I have this problem for the past two months. It got started before four months when I lifted a heavy box. I have a sharp pain. After two months, it became normal. After a month, it came back suddenly. I have sent you the photos of the disc.<\|eot_id\|><\|start_header_id\|>assistant<\|end_header_id\|> Hi. I have gone through the attachment (attachment removed to protect patient identity). Yes, you have a large paracentral disc prolapse on the left side. I cannot say about the level involved as you have not sent a sagittal section. If you have the symptoms matching with the level of the disc, then you have to wait for at least six weeks for the disc to have a shrinkage. If there is no improvement or if you are having motor weakness or bowel or bladder disturbance, then these are the indicators for the surgery rather than having a conservative treatment. A decision to have surgery should be taken by yourself along with the advice of the clinical examiner.<\|eot_id\|>

I suggest you use zinc supplements (ZD drops 1ml once daily for 14 days)ORS (Each small packet mixed in 200ml of potable water and keep giving sip by sip) as hydration is very important and crucial part of treatment.

Thanks for writing to H.C.M.Forum. You are suffering with common cold, snoring,and pains around the nose. All these collectively called sinusitis, it is secondary to the common cold may be allergic, viral, or eosinophilia related, or may be due to deviated nasal septum. With over the counter medicines you wont get the complete relief, with out a proper diagnosis. I advise you to consult an E.N.T. surgeon, for diagnosis and treatment. you may need to have M.R.I. besides other routine tests for confirmation. Except D.N.S. others can be treated with medicines, and D.N.S. requires operation. Wishing you a quick and complete recovery. Best regards.<\|eot_id\|>

What could be the problem?<\|eot_id\|><\|start_header_id\|>assistant<\|end_header_id\|> Hi..Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..As per your complain low grade fever with swollen and bleeding gums seems to be most probably due to causes like viral infection leading to Gingivostomatitis while similar symptoms can also be experienced by kids who are teething..During teething also there is inflammation and swelling of the gums due to pressure and breaking of the gums for letting teeth to erupt in the mouth by cutting through the gums and the child can experience slight temperature rise also..So my suggestion is to give him Acetaminophen Paracetamol or Tylenol for fever and pain and do cool compresses over the gums..You can use a very soft toothbrush to clean his teeth and also be gentle and careful, not to touch the gums...Give him a soft and semisolid diet..Hope this information helps.. Thanks and regards.Dr.Honey Nandwani Arora.<\|eot_id\|>

Patient Details: I have a question about my uncle. I don't have a lot of details though. He has a history of cardiac problems, including open heart surgery. He is on many cardiac meds for the last several years. Recently he has been experiencing episodes of dizziness where he just about blacks out. He has been to the ER 3 times in the past week and the doctors just keep saying its syncope. I am not convinced that there isn't something else wrong, perhaps related to his cardiac history. Any ideas on what may cause this? Also the other symptom he is having is blotchy, red skin. He is sweaty, and clammy.. and shivering. And extremely tired. BS was 119 non fasting.<\|eot_id\|><\|start_header_id\|>assistant<\|end_header_id\|> His symptoms are due to worsening of his heart condition until proven otherwise. Therefore, he needs to see his cardiology or be seen at a heart hospital immediately. He should have an ultrasound of this heart, routine blood work screening, EKG, and medication reconciliation. If those are unremarkable, then he needs a stress test. It is important to distinguish between vertigo, presyncope (patient feels like they are going to black out; vision and hearing may become obscured), disequilibrium (off balance), and light-headedness (vague, inconsistent symptoms, no rotational component). Vertigo is the sensation of movement ("room spinning") when no movement is actually occurring; results from peripheral or central causes or may be induced by medications/anxiety disorders.<\|eot_id\|>

Patient Details: Hi - I m I m hospital having been diagnosed with viral meningitis and have a couple of questions: On my fourth litre of intravenous fluids. Anti sickness and painkillers. Hope to go home tomorrow BP has just measured 107 / 49 is that an issue? Also waiting to have a rash I have developed looked at by the Dr. How long should I be telling work to expect me to be at home? Thank you.<\|eot_id\|><\|start_header_id\|>assistant<\|end_header_id\|> Hello, hope you are feeling better now. BP being on the lower side, without a high heart rate is normal in some individuals as is not a cause for concern. More important is how you feel overall, any giddiness or drowsiness, how much you are peeing etc. Rash is a part of the viral illness and will go away on its own. Take rest for 3 to 4 days at home, and then head to work if you are feeling better. Take care! Hope this answers your questions.<\|eot_id\|>

Thanks for writing to us. Since you are having irregular periods, hormonal disturbances need to be ruled out like PCOD and thyroid dysfunction. Repeated ultrasound scans help to detect if your ovaries are producing eggs or not. You are getting the right treatment. I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.

Patient Details: hi my name is dawn i was on the depo shot for 3yrs 1997-2000 after i stop the shot i didnt have a period for the next 4yrs so i went 7 years with out a period then in 2004 i had a period but i hurt so bad on my left side during my period and down to my left knee. not to mention i havent got pregnant since then and its been 16yrs can u tell me what is going on please.<\|eot_id\|><\|start_header_id\|>assistant<\|end_header_id\|> Depo is a progestin, and thins the lining of the womb. Many women either have light irregular bleeding or no menses while using depo. It can take six months to a year for a normal cycle to resume, but it is out of your system completely by a year. Your irregular/absent menses has another cause such as chronic absent ovulation due to a like of cycling in your hormones. It is important to have the reason looked in to. In some cases uterine cancer can arise from this condition. Please see a competent gynecologist or reproductive endocrinologist.<\|eot_id\|>

Patient Details: Hello doctor, I took an STD panel test and got a positive result for HSV-1 IgG Ab test. My result was 49.20, but the reference range was 0.91 for negative and anything over 1.09 as positive. Does my 49.20 mean the infection is a very recent one because it is so high? I am confused about why it is so very high. Should it go down over time? I have also heard that a high IgG could be related to HIV, as I was tested negative for it at day 105 after potential exposure (the last sexual encounter I had was three and a half months ago). Does an HSV IgG antibody test measure for antibodies that are only relevant to HSV, or should I be worried about HIV?<\|eot_id\|><\|start_header_id\|>assistant<\|end_header_id\|> Hello. HSV (herpes simplex virus) IgG (immunoglobulin G) antibodies indicate previous exposure and HSV IgM (immunoglobulin M) indicates current disease. The positive IgG can become significant only if you have active lesions. The type one usually causes oral lesions which look like small blisters. The HIV testing recommended post exposure is the PCR (polymerase chain reaction) or the fourth generation. Which testing did you get? If the antibodies are negative for three months out it is a good sign. But I would be satisfied if HIV by PCR is obtained. I hope I have answered your questions.<\|eot_id\|>

Patient Details: I am having trouble getting a good breath and it feels like I have a constant muscle cram from my back around my right rib cage. I went to the doctor and they said my lungs sound all clear, since I just got over bronchitis. Inhalers dont seem to help and I can't find a comfortable position to rest in. I barely got any sleep. What should I do?<\|eot_id\|><\|start_header_id\|>assistant<\|end_header_id\|> Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic. I can understand your concern. Since your lungs are clear, no need to worry for bronchitis or major lung related diseases. Possibility of musculoskeletal pain is more likely in your case. So better to follow these steps for symptomatic relief. 1. Avoid heavyweight lifting and strenuous exercise. 2. Avoid bad postures in sleep. 3. Avoid movements causing pain. 4. Apply warm water pad on affected areas. 5. Take painkiller and muscle relaxant drugs. Don't worry, you will mostly improve with all these and be able to sleep also. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.<\|eot_id\|>

Patient Details: l had a small cold sore and I used Abreva and it worked. But now I have a few red spots inside my mouth between my front teeth and my bottom lip. Besides the red spots (about three of them) there are little minute spots with a little white center and my lips (all around the outside) are constantly feeling "gooey" and I have to keep using tissues to remove the soft white substance. Other wise, I feel fine!<\|eot_id\|><\|start_header_id\|>assistant<\|end_header_id\|> Hello! Welcome to HealthcareMagic! The bumps or sores inside mouth can also be due to viral infection causing cold sores as in few cases cold sores can appear inside mouth too. Also the sores can be canker sores. So my suggestion to you is to consult an Oral Physician and get evaluated. An oral swab culture can be done if the infection is suspected and then treatment can be planned accordingly. In case if it is due to viral infection only then you can be advised anti-viral medication like Acyclovir, Valacyclovir etc. Topical antiviral gels like Valtrex can be advised. In case if it is due to canker sores then doing warm saline gargles and applying antiseptic oral gels like those containing Chlorohexidine can help. Doing antiseptic mouthwash gargles is also helpful. Take Vitamin B complex daily till they heal. Hope this helps Regards, Take Care! Dr. Honey Arora, Dentist.<\|eot_id\|>

If you are in early three months of pregnancy, then it should be considered normal. And if you are in a late three months of pregnancy, then it is definitely advisable to meet gynecologist as early as possible.In the first three months, there are lot many discomforting symptoms of pregnancy which are really difficult to tolerate sometime. Look baby is a foreign body for the science for you and me it can be something emotional so the body tries maximum to retain this baby. That's why we suffer the maximum in the first three months.About your headache, you can safely take paracetamol. About your dizziness, weakness, belly pain can be considered normal in the first three months of pregnancy. If all the symptoms are difficult to tolerate then definitely meet gynecologist till then try to take maximum rest. You told that you didn't suffer through all these symptoms in your last pregnancy so I just want to tell you every pregnancy is different.Hope I have answered your query.

This problem is called Raynaud's disease. It is seen more in smokers, typists, pianists and patients people with lupus, scleroderma, arterial disease and carpal tunnel syndrome often develop Raynaud's disease. The following investigations would be needed to rule out a secondary cause. These include complete blood count, liver function tests, renal function tests, and blood glucose levels. Treatment involves medications like calcium channel blockers ( eg: nifedipine). In the mean time, keep your legs warm and stop smoking ( if you do). I would suggest that you see your physician so that a proper evaluation can be done and treatment can be started. Hope this helps.<\|eot_id\|>

Blood report says eosinophil is 540 Wbc 10800.Doctor said it's pneumonia and advised for antibiotics through I'VE. Since we requested an alternative method he is giving taxim injections twice a day.My concern is so far we have given 5 injections but our doctor says he will decide by tomorrow whether to withdraw injections and give syrups..We are concerned whether we can give so many injections for 3 year old....moreover she has lost weight also.....please advise Thank you Swetha.<\|eot_id\|><\|start_header_id\|>assistant<\|end_header_id\|> Hello Mam, I just read your query. As you have mentioned about pneumonia and your physician has started antibiotic I/V treatment. Antibiotic treatment always has a schedule whether it is given orally or through I/V line. So as per your question antibiotic through I/V line can be given to three years old as per disease's status and your treating doctor can decide it better because he is doing regular clinical examination. The loss of weight might be due to improper feeding because during sickness babies have tendency to refuse diet and they take less amount of food compare to normal. So complete the treatment and try to give baby more semi solid and liquid diet as it is easy to give and digest. I hope you find my answer helpful.Thank you.<\|eot_id\|>

So I did colonoscopy which showed that he has Rectum Cancerit is just 35 centimeters from the anus. 2) Meanwhile, found the cancer is WILD TYPEnot localizedsome nodes(which are doubtful) are seen in the liver, lungs as well in the prostates. 3) So doctors advised to check him for the targeted(Neo-adjuvant) therapysent the biopsy to the laboratoryfound that he is suitable for ERBITUX-600mg doses. 4) Now total 4 chemos (FOLFOX with ERBITUX) is donepatients health seems to be well responding. 5) Again doctors are advising to have the Sonography. 6) Doctors saying is that he will try to kill the doubtful nodes, will shrink the tumor which is present in the rectumit will be easy to operate on it. My queries are below:- 1) Are we on right track 2) Will this therapy help to recover fully at this time though it may be a stage-4 cancer. 3) Whether the cancer can spread to the others as my father lives with meI have a small child. Will it be in danger or will all of us be in danger? 4) Will just sonography help to come to conclusion to see whether patient is responding or not 5) Depending on the above scenario, can you generally comment on the life span of such patients.<\|eot_id\|><\|start_header_id\|>assistant<\|end_header_id\|> First of all, your father's treatment has been standard and correct. This is the standard therapy for stage 4 rectal cancer. The chances of cure in stage 4 rectal cancer with full treatment is 25%, i.e. 25% patients will fully recover while rest will not. Cancer is not a contagious disease and does not spread from one to another by touch or contact. Touching him, playing with him, eating in the same plate does not put you at risk. Sonography is not at all enough to detect the response to the chemotherapy. You need to get a contrast enhanced CT scan of the abdomen and pelvis. As to the life span, it will depend upon the response to chemotherapy. If he is a good responder, and all of his disease is subsequently removed by surgery, then he has a 1 in 4 chance of living his normal life. Else, his lifespan will be 6-12 months.<\|eot_id\|>

It is common in children. It can spontaneously resolve as age advance. You can check basic urine report to rule out that.Bedwetting is different problem and it requires evaluation with physical check up, sonography and urodynamic study if required. It is not related to masturbation or sexual activity. It requires proper urological evaluation.Don't get panic.Feel free to communicate furhter with mentioned report.Best wishes.

Patient Details: Hi, I have just noticed a hard small lump (half an inch by 3/4 of an inch) an 1.5 inches below and two inches to the left of my navel. It is hard, and I have not been able to press it back through the muscle wall. Are hernias general hard or soft? Thinking that it might be a Spigelian hernia. Have had it for about three weeks. Also, I have been told that hernia repairs can be very painful. Is a high pain level common with hernia fixes?<\|eot_id\|><\|start_header_id\|>assistant<\|end_header_id\|> Hi....thanks for sharing your problem here in this forum...The location you are telling is associated with hernias mostly...hernias are mostly soft and they can move in and out if not obstructed or strangulated...spigelion hernia may be hard...hernia repair is not very much painful if done under general anesthesia...under local anesthesia its painful...i will advise you to see your surgeon so that he examin it and give you proper diagnosis and treatment....thanksDr ihsan.<\|eot_id\|>

Patient Details: I feel this pulsating feeling just below the left side of my chest closer to my side. Its been going on now for 7days. I am thirsty every night also for years. Very fatigued for a long time also. Have had hemmorhoids for a couplenof years too. My urine smells bad too.<\|eot_id\|><\|start_header_id\|>assistant<\|end_header_id\|> Hello!Thank you for asking on HCM!Regarding your concern, I would explain that your symptoms may be related to a metabolic disorder or a chronic infection. I recommend consulting with your GP for a careful physical examination, a resting ECG, a chest x ray and some lab tests: - complete blood count (for chronic anemia)- blood fasting glucose- kidney and liver function tests- blood electrolytes- PCR and sedimentation rate- blood and urine osmolarity- cortisol plasma levels (for the adrenal gland function)- urine analysis and urine bacterial culture. Meanwhile I would advise to closely monitor your blood pressure (for possible hypotension), take plenty of fluids (water and juices) and avoid straining physical activity. Hope to have been helpful!Best regards, Dr. Iliri.<\|eot_id\|>

Thanks Gwen.<\|eot_id\|><\|start_header_id\|>assistant<\|end_header_id\|> Regardless of your symptoms, I recommend that a few lab tests should be done to confirm Lym'es disease. a. Serology: screening ELISA for anti-Lyme antibody with positive titres confirmed by Western blot. b. PCR for Borrelia burgdorferiIf you have any history of tick bite, followed by erythema migrans, you can get started for treatment of Lym's disease without waiting for the serology results. Doxycycline or Amoxicillin PO for 28 days should treat Lyme's disease. If arthritis persists, IV Ceftriaxone for 2 weeks is recommended.<\|eot_id\|>

Blood test shows high WBC count, CAT scan detected thickening of ileum. What does this mean? Patient Details: Hello, I was recently in the ER for abdomial pain. I have an infection somewhere, high white blood cells count and a thickening was found in a cat scan of my ileum? Can you tell me what this could mean? I have a GI appointment scheduled for next friday, but my mind is racing. I am 29 years old, mother of 3, and need answers. I left the ER with no explanation or diagnosis, just two antibotics.<\|eot_id\|><\|start_header_id\|>assistant<\|end_header_id\|> Hi kayla.amoroso. Thanks for your question. Your diagnosis is very simple.You had pain abdomen with white blood cell count increase and CT SCAN showed thickening in illeum.It is probably a case on ilial or intestinal tuberculosis.There are other rare possibilities too-it can be a crohns colitis,malignancy involving ileum,volvulus or just infection of ileum but this causes are very rare. But i am thinking why you have pain.Probably this causes sub acute intestinal obstruction so you have pain. So continue taking antibiotics,taking a laxative as you need regular stool pass,take plenty of water with salt as in this cases chance of dyselectrolytimeia is high.Please do a straight xray abdomen to see any evidence of obstruction or perforation. If your pain subsided,passed stool,urine,become stable then you can leave in your house otherwise best to keep yourself admitted in any hospital/nursing home as in your cases sudden intestinal obstruction can occur and that is a dreadful complication. Consult gastrosurgeon on Friday and follow his advise. Best wishes, Dr Sourav Ganguly.<\|eot_id\|>

I felt really hot too I felt that if I had no clothes on I would be able to breathe. I also felt that if I shaved my head at that moment I'd be able to breathe. I know bizarre but that was the feeling. I hope maybe you could give me suggestions or what I should look out for. My prev doc told me they're breaking pains and that's all there is. So I'm not sure. Thanks. - Tina.<\|eot_id\|><\|start_header_id\|>assistant<\|end_header_id\|> Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.I can understand your concern. By your history and description, possibility of stress and anxiety related symptoms is more likely.But better to first rule out lung diseases for your breathlessness. So get done chest x ray and PFT (Pulmonary Function Test).If both these are normal then no need to worry for lung diseases. Consult psychiatrist and get done counselling sessions. Try to identify stressor in your life and start working on its solution. You may need anxiolytic drugs too. Don't worry, you will be alright. Avoid stress and tension, be relax and calm.Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.<\|eot_id\|>

Patient Details: I have been diagnosed with a mild case of mouth thrush but, I cannot find the mouth wash my doctor prescribed for me. If I am spelling it properly, it is fluconarole the doctors penmanship is terrible. Hopefully you can help me. I cannot pay even your modest fee. I have small cell lung cancer, but on limited SSI for household bills only.<\|eot_id\|><\|start_header_id\|>assistant<\|end_header_id\|> Hello,The medication is called Fluconazole. Diflucan is the US brand name of a tablet that is swallowed. The medication is available by prescription. Dosage and length of use is determined by your doctor. This can vary and must be confirmed for your circumstances. Fluconazole may be given as a liquid, tablet or capsule. For oral thrush, popular alternative rinses or lozenges, are Clotrimazole, Nystatin, Itraconazole and Ketoconazole. There are combination solutions called "magic mouth" that vary in composition with an anti-fungal medicine, anti-inflammatory medicine and possibly pain medication to help treat thrush and provide symptom relief.Concerns with other medications you may be taking must be considered. I see you have a condition with cancer. You must confer with your doctor to follow the medication as directed. The pharmacy can clarify all details with the doctor and will clearly label the medication with instructions.Thank you for contacting HealthcareMagic. I am glad to offer further assistance and hope you will be able to fill your prescription soon. I hope you find my information useful. Iam sorry, but I do not know your location to make recommendations on cost saving locations for this medicine.<\|eot_id\|>

Its on upper right and upper left part of my belly about 2 inch below my nipples. It just started 2 days ago. I don t feel anything if I will breath normally. I can feel it if I make a deep breath. Is something wrong on my liver or just a muscle pulled right behind my ribcage?<\|eot_id\|><\|start_header_id\|>assistant<\|end_header_id\|> Hello! Thank you for the query. Strained muscle theory is possible. But your pain can be caused by some other reasons like broken rib, lung disorders or gall stones. It is advisable for you to have at least the chest X-ray and ribs X-ray, abdominal ultrasound. Fool blood work with liver and pancreas enzymes should be performed as well. Always when chest pain appears, heart condition should be checked with ECG. If this tests will all came negative, strained muscle can be the reason of your pain. Hope this will help.

The problem is that I have no improvement with numbness, pins and needle pain from my behind to my toe on my left leg. The surgeon said that it will take time for the nerve toheal because it had been compressed for so many years. What do you think. What can I do other than taking pain medication. I really cannot stand this anymore. Thank You.<\|eot_id\|><\|start_header_id\|>assistant<\|end_header_id\|> Hi,one thing you should clear in your mind this type of spinal surgery primarily meant for relieving you severe pain and secondarily for numbness and tingling.so if your pain improve 50% after surgery it will improve with time.and as your surgeon explain you that your problem was chronic numbness and tingling part will take time to improve but how much and when it is difficult to say to any spine surgeon.so along with pain killer you can start pregabaline and gabapentine which will improve your neuralgic pain as well as tingling part.<\|eot_id\|>
