Hello, I have gone through your query. Thanks for using Chat Doctor.First it is very, very rare to get angina at the age of 14. You can be sure that your pain is not angina. It must be either muscular 0r due to gas and acid reflux. Over and above this, fear factor is troubling you more than pain itself. You may take simple analgesic like Diclofenac along with Omeprazole for few days. You should be fine, don't worry. My best wishes Chat Doctor.

I had a root canal started on tooth #4 after feeling like it was abcessing - I was having pain behind my eyes and getting nauseous and shaky/weak - but the tooth didnt hurt! The dentist confirmed the tooth was dead (no sensation), and then drilled it and cleaned the roots a little. He left a hole filled with cotton to let it drain for 7 days while I wait for the final root canal appt. Is there any danger to having cotton in the hole and draining this way - i.e in bacteria migrating up the cotton filled drainage port? Also, the back of my head is tender where this root is emanating, and my neck is stiff ..... and I feel weak/tired - how dangerous is it to wait for this procedure? Ive been on antibiotics since having this procedure -still 2 1/2 days until the final procedure.
Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query. The cotton kept after the cleaning procedure in a root canal treatment is common. It is done when the canal is not Chat Doctor. In that situation a medicated cotton pellet will be kept for 3-5 days. Nothing to be panic, Complete the course of antibiotics, the infection will come down. The stiffness in the neck is not related to this. I hope my answer will help you, take care.

im 25 years old ..i started using mtp kit on 5th of august. and the bleeding started on 7th of aug for two days which was heavy...but after 1 month i didnt get my regular periods yet...I did check for pregnancy after the abortion and the test was positive...im tensed now...plz help me...
Hello, Thanks for letting us know your health concern. If you self-medicated for inducing the abortion, you should see a specialist for further help. You also need a sonogram of the pelvis preferably in the trans-vaginal route to clarify. Any retained products would have caused persistent bleeding/infection and so on. Ineffective abortion can lead to continuation of the pregnancy, but, since you had heavy bleeding after medication, this is unlikely. Pregnancy test remains positive for sometime after the abortion since the hormone levels take time to decline. The test can be repeated now. Hope this helps.

My 5 year old son has been coughing for a month. I ve taken him to the doctor twice. The first time he had an ear infection and was given medicine for 10 days. He has continued to cough the entire time. His cough is a loose cough and gets worse in the evening and especially at night. He coughs all through the night. He coughs so much that he nearly throws up. We have tried breathing treatment and cough syrup with no luck. What should I do now???
As you have mentioned in your history that your son has been coughing since month and gets worse in night, first I would suggest you to go for manitou test or chest x-ray to rule out the possibility of tuberculosis as his symptoms are quite related to TB. Secondly, for his current problems you can give him syrup co-amoxiclav 5 ml three times daily or syrup cefixime-cv 5 ml twice daily along with syrup febrex-plus or syrup tusked 5 ml three times daily with syrup vomiting or syrup ondansetron 5 ml twice daily for vomiting. You can also nebulize your son with albuterol nebulizer at your family doctors clinic as it gives too mucChatDoctorfort to your child.

My toes on right foot more than left are numb and now are turning blue (big toe). I have gone through a nerve study a vascular study (slight sluggish in flow behind knee) ultrasound all they have found is bulging disk #3 4 5. The blood work was good high calestarol blood sugar ok thyroid ok what more should I do what could this bee I feel like its getting worse
Hi. The numbness and blue discoloration could both be due to be arterial insufficiency since they detected sluggish flow in the popliteal artery behind the knee. With a high cholesterol you may have plaques in the arteries, and you need to work on bringing that down. Exercise is advised to help improve the pumping action of the muscles to improve blood flow. The bulging discs in the lumbar area can cause backache and pain radiating down your legs. I suggest get physio and good back care and strengthening exercises.

I was diagnosis with pleurisy last Tuesday, and am still having sharp pains in my right side of my chest, rib cage and right shoulder blade and lower half of my back. I have already had an EKG and I am having a chest xray today. How long can these symptoms last can could it be something more serious?
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. Treatment of pleurisy is depending on cause. There are many causes for pleurisy. But the most common ones are1. Pneumonia. 2. Tb3. Pleural effusion.4. Pulmonary contusions. So better to get done chest x-ray and start treatment accordingly. If chest x-ray is normal than possibility of muscular pain is more. Try to follow these for muscular pain.1. Avoid heavy weight lifting.2. Avoid strenuous exercise. 3. Take good painkillers and muscle relaxant. 4. Avoid bad postures in sleep.5. Apply warm water pad to the affected site

Within the past few hours, my husband has developed a rash that covers his back, neck, and upper arms. He seems to have no other symptoms. He has been taking antibiotics (Levaquin, sorry about the spelling) and just finished the last one today. Was in the hospital last week for 2 days with bronchitis / pneumonia. Has also been taking Mucinex. He has gone to bed in the last few minutes and is sleeping peacefully. I was very nervous about the rash and wondered what I should do, as there seem to be no other symptoms.Thank you.Brenda Wooten YYYY@YYYY
Hello, Thank you for posting on Chat Doctor. The condition your husband is having is called Urticaria or hives. It's an allergic manifestation of skin, where an allergen leads to release of certain substances from your blood, leading to itchy skin rash and swelling over soft tissues. Its proper management requires thorough history, clinical and laboratory work-up. You may have to go for specific tests like patch test, food prick test, IGE antibody levels etc. As for treatment part, best would be the avoidance of allergen as far as possible. Try to eliminate possible triggering foods from diet. I would also advise you various antihistamines for long duration(at least 3 months) with or without oral corticosteroids. For non-responding cases there are many other Chat Doctor. Hope this will help you in resolving your query. Thank you
