This will regularize your hormone levels. Hope I have clarified your query, do write back if anymore queries the best Chat Doctor. |

If it is necrotizing definitely you should be on antibiotics like metronidazole along with amoxicillin only then it is of use. Kindly avoid smoking and any tobacco chewing or pan chewing which aggregates the condition. Hope this helps you. Further kindly visit your Periodontist. |

My dad fell at work about 7 months ago and shortly after that he starting complaint about severe stomach pain, so he went to the doctor (kaiser) and so far they have found nothing to be the cause of the pain, he has had an ultrasound , mri , bloodwork, and a colonoscopy . Also after walking a short distance he gets shortness of breath and when he urinates he thinks he s done and a minute later he still needs to go again. | If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. | Hello, Thanks for writing in. I suppose your dad is an elderly gentleman who had a fall 7 months back. In elderly men, the prostate gland often enlarges and creates a sensation of incomplete emptying of the bladder. It is located at the base of urinary bladder and when enlarged in size, causes obstruction to the outflow of urine. In such patients, MRI, colonoscopy and rest of ultrasound findings can be normal. I suggest you get your dad to take another ultrasound keeping in mind the evaluation of prostate gland. Also, pre void and post void urine volume is to be assessed. You can consult a urologist for further diagnosis and medication. Hope this helps. |

Hi.. I fell off of the bike and I got just surface injury.. Nothing to worry about. But after 2nd day my leg swells and I feel pain when I walk. My hole leg from the knee down is swelled.. And I was working every day.. So it s something serious? Thank you... | If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. | Hi, Thanks for your query. An initial X-ray of the injured part is mandatory to rule out any bony injury (fracture). If the X-ray is negative for a fracture, then the other possibility is soft tissue injury either to the ligaments, tendons etc. The initial management for your condition is as follows -- Give adequate rest to the injured part and avoid any movements that produce pain-Apply ice wrapped in a damp towel to the injured area for 15 to 20 minutes every two to three hours during the day-Compress or bandage the injured area to limit any swelling and movement that could damage it further. You can use a crêpe bandage or a simple elastic bandage - Keep the injured area raised and supported on a pillow to help reduce swelling. If your leg is injured, avoid having long periods of time when your leg is not raised.- Gentle massage with a painkiller cream over the injured area might be helpful If your symptoms are still persisting after the above measures, consult an orthopedic surgeon for further evaluation and management. I do hope that you have found something helpful, and I will be glad to answer any further query. Take care |

Hi my 13 old daughter is an AIP patient. recently she had an attack of AIP and is just released from hospital.

Either ways, the treatment for this symptom would be the same (apart from treatment and prevention of attacks). Many Chat Doctor. |

My usual symptoms are: random dizziness, bruising on my legs, always cold, poor circulation in both my arms and sometimes legs (rare), headaches, shortness of breath (even while I m sitting), my skin turns a bit purple when I feel cold......

I recently had a cbc test and everything came back normal except for my platelets which is 138. Normal is 140. Ive taken previous cbc test and they all came back normal before, but now...this time, everything is normal except for the slightly low platelet count which I mentioned above. Im scheduled to have surgery within a matter of weeks and Im afraid that everything will be cancelled because of it. Am I just being paranoid or are my fears justified? | If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. | Sometimes there are minor variation can come in platelet counts, which may be because of machine variation, physiological variation in body, inter person variation in lab. So do not worry take other CBC after a week or so. Even with this low count 138 there is no need to cancel surgery this much low is acceptable for surgery. But even final decision is with surgeon because, there are other parameters also which have to calculate like bleeding time, clotting time, etc. THX |
About a month or so ago I started to notice that when I stretched or turned my upper body a weird sound would come out of my mouth or chest area. A sort of losing my breath sound. It has since gotten much worse. Now whenever I move my upper body or even walk at a fast pace and turn it makes the sound.

I can understand your situation and problem. By your history and description, possibility of musculoskeletal problem is more. Sudden movement can cause muscle spasm. And if you still continue that movement than bone will move against that spastic muscle. This process can produce certain sound. So possibility of this sound is more in your case. You also feel tightness, this also favors musculoskeletal cause. So better to avoid movements causing pain. Avoid sudden movements. Start painkiller and muscle relaxant Chat Doctor. . Apply warm water pad on affected areas. Avoid heavyweight lifting and strenuous exercise. Get done calcium and vitamin d3 level as deficiency of these can cause similar symptoms. If deficiency then you need supplements. Don't worry, you will be alright. Hope I have solved your query. Wish you good health. Thanks. |

An 89 year old lady was taking 20mg of diutric, one-half 5 mg of potassium a couple of months ago. She stayed in a nursing home in Kansas for 6 weeks and had to switch to a Kansas doctor. She is now home but is still taking the same diuetric but a whole potassium. She is experiencing leg cramps and the back of her legs feel very lumpy. What can I do at home to help her? | If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. | HiT hanks for your queryBased on your query, my opinion is as follows.1.

Feeling sad, irritable, having sleep disturbances are all symptoms of depression. Most probably, she will need anti-depressants which will take care of her problems.

As a psychiatrist, I would however strongly advise against any self-medication and would suggest meeting a local psychiatrist as soon as possible. Best Wishes |
