The conversation between human and AI assistant. [\|Human\|] ive had a cough for about a week now. It would hurt whenever i swallowed. Then the cough went from dry to having phlegmn. Now my sinus hurts and i have a runny nose & MAJOR headache (i think its a sinus infection). But my runny nose & phelgm go from white/yellow (from nose) and lime to dark green and hard when i cough them up. Whats worse is i lost my voice and i get lowgrade fever every now and then. What can this be? [\|AI\|] Hi Dear, Welcome to Chat Doctor. Understanding your concern. As per your query cough, sore throat, fever and headache is due to upper respiratory tract infection. Need not worry. I would suggest you to take antihistamine Levocetrizine along with antibiotic Levofloxacin. Avoid intake of cold carbonated beverages. Visit ENT specialist once and get it examined. You should go for blood tests. Get X-ray chest done along with pulmonary function tests done to check extent of infection and start treatment. You should do warm saline gargles. You should take nasal sprays as well. Use mist humidifiers in room. Hope your concern has been resolved. Get Well Soon. Best Wishes,
The conversation between human and AI assistant. [\|Human\|] I have just been prescribed actonel for osteoporosis and after reading comments from those who have taken it I am afraid to take it. I have psoriatic arthiritis and am 84 years old. Can I just not take it? I have enough trouble as it is I have no return appointment with the doctor who is new to me and is 2 hours away. Please advise, Thank you [\|AI\|] Dear Ma thanks for posting your query on Chat Doctor. I appreciate your concern for the safety profile for Acton. Actonel on long term use can cause ulcer or inflammation in the food pipe (esophagus) producing severe heart burn, difficulty in swallowing, abdominal pain, it is also associated with bone loss (osteoporosis) in the jaw. If you have any acidity related stomach upset it is better to avoid it. Wait for your next appointment.Meanwhile, you can take it D with calcium supplements which are available over the counter. Hope this information helps you. Wishing you a good health.
The conversation between human and AI assistant. [\|Human\|] I recently started a new job that is very physical and ive noticed a very tender, sort of lump IN my belly button... there is no discoloration, no swelling, just tender to the touch and if I were to bend. If you were to put a finger in your belly button and pinch the top of it with your fingers, thats where its located. Any clue what it could be? [\|AI\|] Welcome to Chat Doctor. 1. The possible cause could be inflammation in the umbilical region and next possible cause will be small anterior abdominal wall defect - umbilical hernia.2. In any case I would recommend to at an ultrasound examination done.3. Ultrasiund will help to find any inflammatory changes in subcutaneous plane, any collection, and presence of any defection in the anterior abdominal wall.4.depending on finding in case of inflammatory changes an antibiotic course will be enough.5. In case of hernia / defect you may need to control weight-bearing job, if larger needs correction. 6. Suggest get evaluated before it gets complicated. Good luck. Hope I have answered your query.Anything to ask do not hesitatehttp://doctor. ChatDoctor .com/doctors/ Chat Doctor.
The conversation between human and AI assistant. [\|Human\|] For about five years I have experienced heavy palpitations and squeezing in my chest which is a result of sudden movement eg getting up very quickly from a sitting position. The symptoms are random as this doesnt happen every time. I have a history of stomach problems and experience a lot of bloating. Recently, these episodes which take about one minute to subside have become more frequent, sometimes being accompanied by pain in my calves which is a new addition to the symptoms. Can you please enlighten me as to the possible causes? [\|AI\|] Hi and thank you so much for this query. Palpitations always result from the heart, but they do not necessarily represent a disease of the heart. It could also be caused by other illnesses not related to the heart especially stomach problems like gastritis, gastroesophageal reflux disease, etc. It is difficult to tell what the cause of this is without a proper exam. Also, because the frequency is increasing and additional new symptoms showing up, I would suggest that you get consulted and be evaluated fully to identify the cause and ad Chat Doctor. I will suggest that you get consulted first by a general physician who would recommend seeing a specialist if it so warrants from more clues that he would gather during the encounter and some basic tests like ECG. I hope this answers your query and provides guidance on how to go about ad
The conversation between human and AI assistant. [\|Human\|] My son recently started daycare and has gotten sick. He is 4 years old. Last night his fever was 102.9. Ive been giving him Motrin and he has a cold also, and trouble breathing, especially at night when he is quite loud and coughs a lot. I just took his temperature again, and it was 96.7. He is also really cold to the touch. That seems low to me......should I take him to the hospital?Thank you, Lauren [\|AI\|] Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor. I have read your question in detail and I know that you are very concerned about your child. By what you quote it seems that your child probably has got wheezing episode. Due to wheezing episode he has difficulty in breathing at night. Since, temperature is also low, you should take the child to emergency and get the child examined. I hope this will help you. Wishing your child good health. Take care. Regards Chat Doctor.
The conversation between human and AI assistant. [\|Human\|] I have not been feeling right for quite a while now, feeling sick when eating, tired yet cant sleep and been feeling some twings and cramps in my stomach for a number of weeks now and over the past few weeks ive had some nasty pains in my chest area, these are not constant just every now and again. What coud be wrong? [\|AI\|] Hi. Thanks for your query and an elucidated history. You have multiple problems-not alright for few weeks, feeling sick when eating, tired yet can not sleep, things and cramps in stomach, and nasty pains in the chest. I would advise you to get a physical test done by a Doctor to find out the clinical signs and get the blood, urine and stool tested accordingly for Typhoid, malaria and so on. This will give you the proper diagnosis. Till then get started on an antibiotic and supportive therapy, have nutritious diet, have strict bed rest, and if needed get admitted so that you can be under observation round the clock.
The conversation between human and AI assistant. [\|Human\|] I fell approx. 9 years ago on my coccyx. I now have pain from coccyx area that radiates to both hips when I walk. It happens if I am up on my feet all day, but stops when I sit down. I have spoken to my doctor, but he thinks it may be weak stomach muscles. What is your opinion? Thank you. I am 62 years old. [\|AI\|] Hello! Welcome on Chat Doctor ! Your symptoms could be related to a pinched nerve in this region (also called neuralgia), or a bulging disc in the vertebral column, probably due to the trauma. For this reason, I would recommend consulting with a neurologist and performing a CT scan of the lumbosacral spine, coupled with a nerve conduction study. You should discuss with your doctor on the above issues. Kind regards,
The conversation between human and AI assistant. [\|Human\|] I had protected sex 3 weeks ago... and don t really have symptoms...but I have been pooping a lot, really gassy, and have had some breast tenderness. I take my pill every day at the same time, and waited the 7 days before having sex (with a condom). Is there still a chance I could be pregnant? [\|AI\|] Hello dear. Understand your concern. Birth control pills failure rate is 1-2 %, means 100 women's used it then 1-2 women he chance to be pregnant. If you take regularly pills then lesser than less chance to be pregnant, & you said that you are doing protected sex, so you doubly protected, so,according to me 99.99% you he no chance to be pregnant. Your symptoms are may be due to indigestion & Brest tenderness is due to side effects of contraceptive pills. So be calm, not worrying or being an anxious. Hope this will help you. Best regards. Chat Doctor.
The conversation between human and AI assistant. [\|Human\|] I am 80 years of age and in good health. I am seeing a cardiologist because I recently developed HBP and will undergo testing because of its sudden onset. I am also scheduled for an IVUS and will need to obtain medical clearance for this procedure. I can see the cardiologist prescribing Echo and Carotid, but what about the stress test he is prescribing? Not happy with the stress test. Could I refuse to take it? Frankly, it s frightening me. [\|AI\|] Testing is usually done to answer a question. None listed are done for high blood pressure. The question comes from a symptom or observation. In some instances, the tests are done to provide some idea as to how the heart might respond if a surgery or other procedure is done. If your doctor wants tests, ask why and what might be done with the finding. If you have no interest in pursuing a result, you may refuse the test but you and the doctor who is asking need to have common ground.
The conversation between human and AI assistant. [\|Human\|] Hi I have had a swollen lump in my left wrist vein for about 4-5 days. Sometimes it throbs with a bit of pain. I have been working at computer long hours today, with breaks, and when I quit to night I got up and was feeling dizzy, the throbbing started in my wrist again, I drank a couple glasses of water. I am not having any sharp pains, but am feeling dizzy, anxious, and shaky. I almost felt like I was going to pass out. I am not getting worse, but still a bit shaky. I was feeling kind of weak, but I may be stabilizing now. I had not injured my wrist, and it is new that I can see a slight bluish coloring swelled spot on my vein, below the left thumb. I don t know whether me thinking it could be like an aneurism is getting me anxious or maybe I got dehydrated today...I don t know. I normally have a bit lower blood pressure. My breathing is good. [\|AI\|] Hi. Thanks for your query. You have two different problems as per the history you have submitted.1. A swelling below the left thumb and 2. General weakness and related problems. To say about the first, that the bluish lump on the vein below the left thumb can be due to rupture of the vein at this spot due to excessive rubbing that comes on working on the computer so much. Consult a Surgeon and get a confirmed diagnosis just in case we should not miss anything big and get delayed diagnosis and treatment if at all it needs. About the general weakness, dizziness, feeling of almost passing out must be the continuous working or a flu or some general medical problems. I would advise you to consult your Family Physician to get vitals and physical examination and few blood tests done if required just to see that you are not suffering from something serious problem.
The conversation between human and AI assistant. [\|Human\|] hi..my name is sherry .my father is a facing cirrhosis and i dunt know exact diet should be given.kindly send me diet chart which food should be given.I have searched alot for the chart but couldnt find it. Thanks. [\|AI\|] Hi, Thanks for posting your query. Cirrhosis is due to permanent damage to liver tissue. As such there in no need of any dietary restriction except salt. He should take only 2 gm of salt daily. This salt restriction helps in preventing formation of ascetic fluid. More than 2 gm salt increases formation of ascetic fluid and less than 2 gm may cause hyponatremia. He should avoid biscuits, bread and toast. He should also avoid non veg as non veg proteins are easily digested and may cause hepatic encephalopathy. He can take turmeric, oil and high veg protein diet very well. Take care,
The conversation between human and AI assistant. [\|Human\|] hello i have a 13 yr old son had gallbladder out end of sept full of stones recovered fine then middle of nov started having pain on right side like gallbladder attack had endoscopy all good does have acid reflux medicated for this than had ercp done and clipped a spyncter ode? billy rubin 3.5 at that time middle dec fine for few weeks missed 27 days of school back to pain on right side billy rubin 3.3 now missing school again gave him medicine ursidiol to see if that would help made him sick dizzy stopped takig on fri now yesterday and today sick to stomach and dizzy side hurts what can i do im waiting to hear from dr they are at a loss??? thank you Nicke [\|AI\|] Hi Nice. Thanks for your query. Read the history about your son who is 13 years old and understood the problems. Hisotry gall bladder removal for multiple stones, reappearance of the similar pain with increased bilirubin more than 3 and ERCP and some procedure noted. This is must have been Sphicterotomy and removal of the common bile duct stones. Since the bilirubin is remaining high there is a chance of injury to the common bile duct or retained stones or cholangitis and so on. I would advise further investigations and getting to the final diagnosis. Full liver function tests along with kidney function tests, Amylase and Lipase. CT scan and MRCP of the abdomen to see in details the liver, bile ducts and most important to see any problem with the pancreas. Further treatment depends upon the final diagnosis and may be some surgical intervention if needed.
The conversation between human and AI assistant. [\|Human\|] In the last few weeks my wife has developed what appears to be a fluid-filled cyst on her sturnum between her breasts. It is soft and seems to shift in shape and size, which is generally about four inches laterally, two or three vertically. She has had two heart surgeries for aortic aneurysms, one in 1990, replacing the aortic valve, and the second, to resect the aortic arch, in 2011. The cyst is located beneath the scars from those surgeries. What could it be and how should it be treated? [\|AI\|] Usually treating a lump on the sternum by identifying and ad Chat Doctor. In some cases, lumps and bumps are considered normal. Based on your introduction it can be related to her surgical procedures on chest. Fulfilled cyst may form because of chemical imbalances or hormonal shifts. An chest X-ray should be done to evaluate this lump and other possible changes in ribs and lungs. If the X-ray will find a fluid-filled cyst, simple
The conversation between human and AI assistant. [\|Human\|] My son is 15 months old he has a cough cold n fever doctor prescribed him prospan advent syrup nexpro junior sachets n rinifol he was not eat anything if I give him medicine he vomit .After giving him advent syrup he started with loose motions. What to do pls help me [\|AI\|] Thanks for posting your query at Chat Doctor. The cough and cold is an expression of respiratory tract infection. Most often it is caused due to certain viruses. Sometimes there is a super added bacterial infection for which antibiotics are prescribed. Antibiotics are ineffective against viruses. Fever generally indicates infection. In case of viral infections, the condition resolves spontaneously in 5-10 days. In any case when antibiotics are prescribed, they also kill the beneficial bacteria that reside in our intestines. As a result diarrhea results. The situation can be improved by giving curd/yogurt which contains Lactobacillus. Enterogermina sachets can also be given for the same. Advent is an antibiotic. Nero junior contains omeprazole to reduce acidity that may be caused by the medications. Pros pan is a cough syrup. At times certain medicines are not well tolerated. So vomiting may occur. Continue the medicines as prescribed by your doctor. Hope that would solve your queries. Feel free to communicate back in case of further queries if any.
The conversation between human and AI assistant. [\|Human\|] What does white chunky discharge mean after sex?Im sexually active and Ive recently been tested for STDs. They came out negative. While having sex with my boyfriend, my discharge is white and chunky and it has no odor and there is no itching. He keeps asking me about and and if its normal. [\|AI\|] Hi, Thanks for posting in Chat Doctor. I understand your concern. The symptoms what you could be having is suggestive of mixed bacterial and yeast infection. Kindly maintain good hygiene by washing the area twice daily with warm water and mild antiseptic solution like Salon. Following this, you can also use pH balancing solution like V-wash. Kindly take a course of antifungal medication like fluconazole in the form of cream application or pessaries for 3 successive days. Along with this, take a course of metronidazole for associated bacterial infection. Wear loose fitting undergarments and maintain good personal hygiene. Hope the information provided would be helpful. All the best.
The conversation between human and AI assistant. [\|Human\|] Im a 22 year old male who has recently noticed that my nipples are tender. It feels like Im going through puberty. They have small hard lumps it them that are tender to the touch. Could this be hormonal or could it also be related to testicular cancer ? Please let me know ! [\|AI\|] Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. In my opinion you are having infection mostly. As tenderness and swelling suggest inflammation. So better to consult dermatologist and get done clinical examination. And no need to worry about prostate cancer as it is common in old age and not at your age. You are too young to have prostate cancer. So better to stop worrying about it. And hormonal imbalance can be another probability. But infection appears more. Better to get done clinical examination.
The conversation between human and AI assistant. [\|Human\|] So I carried some really heavy bags of groceries yesterday and now I have severe pain in that shoulder...about a 7/10 right above the AC joint I believe and along my clavicle. I took 1000 mg of aspirin and it didn t help at all and now it hurts to breathe. I ve been icing it....at what point should I see a doctor? [\|AI\|] Hello, The history sounds as the ligament sprain at the shoulder joint and muscle spasm. Doing hot water fermentation to the shoulder and neck will be good. Doing slow deep breathing exercises will be helpful to improve the healing process of the shoulder and also improve the strength in the muscles of the respiratory system like the pectoralis major and minor. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Jay In Chat Doctor.
The conversation between human and AI assistant. [\|Human\|] i am BE student.my age is 23.I got ,recently,strage problem that fear of death, i am worried about aging ,death.it may be happened because of emotional behaviour,i came from financly weak family,i have very small family with not much family members and friends.whenever i think about aging,i feel suffocated.i not only worried about me but also about my family members.only thing that made me happy is that research is going on anti-aging.is it anti-aging possible or atleast postpon aging? i am still worried............, please will you advice me in this regard, THANK YOU VERY MUCH. [\|AI\|] I am sure that something has happened in your life recently that has trig erred this phobia for death. It is very simple to solve if you can logically reason it out. Unfortunately you cannot do it since your unconscious mind refuses to accept it. If you can see a Hypnotherapist and explain this, he will solve it for you. Anyway, I am going to help you by the following message. Every one born in this world begins with birth and ends with death. The duration of the life is dependent on the lifestyle you live. A healthy environment will usually give you a long life. Aging is also a process which can be controlled to a certain extent by your habits and lifestyle. One who has healthy habits, does regular exercise. Eats healthy food, avoids all intoxicants like alcohol, smoking and chewing tobacco will be able to delay the process of aging but cannot avoid it. Someone in your family or friends must have died prematurely and that may be due to some common disease like diabetes, or heart attack or cancer and this must have affected you. So don't worry, you follow the instructions given by me, and you will live along and healthy life.
The conversation between human and AI assistant. [\|Human\|] I have a chronic acute mastoiditus, do you know how I can relieve the pressure and pain, caused by the chronic infection and swelling. Is there anything I can do to slow it down?The infection has made a tunnel to help it self drain . It takes 2 weeks for the infection to build and roughly 2 weeks to drain. Non stop its been relentless. Is there any hope of clearing this up? Thank you s for any help ! [\|AI\|] Dear patient You have got acute on chronic mastitis. This condition is characterized by discharge from ear and behind ear which is recurrent. It may remain silent for months and recurs when you get common Cold. This should be investigated with X-ray of skull anteroposterior and lateral views to assess mastoid status. Best treatment is surgery to clear infection. You need to consult expert ENT specialist nearby your area and get yourself examined and investigated. All the best.
The conversation between human and AI assistant. [\|Human\|] I have sharp pains, sort of like bad cramps, in my lower abdomen, low back pain, breast and nipple tenderness and increased discharge (It is not time for my cycle). I am certain it is not any type of STD. I have a family hx of "female cancers". Should I wait the month it takes to get into my doctor? [\|AI\|] Hi and thanks for the query, It would have been of interest getting your age, whether married or not, and history any treated STI or not. It's true that hormonal disorders could lead to certain changes in the system. However, a proper clinical review would be most welcome in your case. Pain diagnosis requires many parameters to be taken into consideration. It's better to see your internist and program screening for specific cancers. Kind regards
The conversation between human and AI assistant. [\|Human\|] Can 7mm gallstone be dissoluted with medicines? [\|AI\|] Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor Forum, Yes Gall stones can be dissolved by medicines, but only by HomeopatChatDoctoredicines, if you will go for allopathic treatment they will ask you to remove the gall bladder which should not be done because it has many after effects, and will disturb your digestion for future, so it is better to go for Homeopathic treatment, for more info You can mail us at info Chat Doctor.

The conversation between human and AI assistant. [\|Human\|] I inhaled fumes from cutting steel with a torch that had fireproofing behind it.the fumes took my breath away and stopped me from breathing for a second.when I got home my nostrils were a little burnt feeling.Now my chest feel tight.What can I do to get this out of my system? [\|AI\|] Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Sudden inhalation of toxic fumes can cause bronchospasm. And thus spasm causes tightness in chest. Best treatment is inhalation of fresh air. You can also take antihistamine like levocetrizine or fexofenadine. In severe cases inhaled bronchodilators (formoterol or albuterol) are also beneficial. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
The conversation between human and AI assistant. [\|Human\|] Should I be concerned with a score of 0.3 immature granulocytes? I am a 75 year old woman with a BMI of 22 and take no perscriptions. I do take naproxen sodium 220 mg twice daily for arthritis and have for over 5 years. My father lived to the age of 94 and his sister is 95 and still works part time. My Mother died at the age of 58 from ovarian cancer. I don t seem to have any of her health issues so far. Could you please inform me about this concern. [\|AI\|] Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You have 0.3 immature granulocytes. It has no clinical significance. High number of immature granulocytes seen in infection. But 0.3 has no significance. So don't worry about that. Just be relaxed. No, any treatment is required. Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Wish you a very good health.
The conversation between human and AI assistant. [\|Human\|] My 17 y/o son plays basketball, had no real injury just weeks of aggressive play. Has low back pain radiating into left hip. Here is his MRI results: L1-2 minimal posterior annular bulging asymmetric to the left, there is no central canal narrowing or neural foraminal narrowing. L4-5 there is a disc bulge asymmetric to the left with a superimposed small to moderate broad-based left subarticular protrusion type disc hernaition. There is mild facet and ligamentum flavum hypertrophy . These factors combine to cause moderate narrowing of the left lateral recess , and likely impingement of the traversing left L5 nerve root . There is no right lateral recess narrowing. There is no neural foraminal narrowing. L5-S1 there is a disc bulge asymmetric to the left. There is mild narrowing of the left lateral recess but otherwise no central canal narrowing. There is mild left sided neural foraminal narrowing He is to start physical therapy in a few days. My question is - could he have sustained all of this through basketball? [\|AI\|] Hello, At 17 yrs of age he is too young to have developed so many disc bulges. The symptom also suggests the compression of the nerve root due to these bulges. Usually such changes are seen in elderly. In your son these are probably related to basketball playing and associated exercises. He may be an individual who is predisposed to this and aggressive playing has precipitated it. The predisposing factors could be in the form of abnormality of collagen formation (there are diseases in which collagen protein s not formed normally, and it can lead to musculoskeletal problems). He needs to undergo evaluation for that. Good luck.
The conversation between human and AI assistant. [\|Human\|] I recently visited Ghana, Africa on a school trip and have been taking doxycycline as anti-makarial tablets. Just after a week of returning I ve been have strong pins and needles in my legs and some soreness in NY lower back. I didn t know if this could be related or if I have something else, or if I m just over reacting? [\|AI\|] If I were your treating doctor, I would take these symptoms seriously. New onset low backache with background of pins and needles sensation in the legs can suggest pinching of the nerves in your spine. It will need further evaluation in the form of X-ray and MRI. Further management will depend on findings in these investigations and how your symptoms respond over next few weeks. Wishing you best of health
The conversation between human and AI assistant. [\|Human\|] hey im 14 and i have this sharp pain in my chest everytime i breath to a certain point. i think that its precordial catch syndrome although i dont think its meant to last 2 days. Is there any possible way that i could get rid of this without any pain? and yes i have been to the doctor and she said im perfectly healthy so i dont know what the hell is wrong with me.. pleasee helppp !! [\|AI\|] Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Since your doctor is denying any serious illness for your chest pain, no need to worry about major heart or lung related diseases. Possibility of musculoskeletal pain is more. So better to follow these steps for symptomatic relief. 1. Avoid heavyweight lifting and strenuous exercise. 2. Avoid movements causing pain. 3. Avoid bad postures in sleep. 4. Take painkiller like ibuprofen. 5. Apply warm water pad on affected areas. Don't worry, you will be alright with all these in 5 - 7 days. If not improving in 1 week then get done chest x-ray to rule out internal lung pathology. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.

The conversation between human and AI assistant. [\|Human\|] Every time I cough I feel excruciating pain in the middle of my chest. It feels like something is going to explode in my chest. I also have the chills then the sweats. I do have asthma but it does not bother me. I am taking 2 I hailers ( Advair and salbutamol ) iv also been taking clonazepam to help me sleep. I have no appetite and am feeling very weak. When I cough I cry from the pain. Nothing comes up when I cough. It s just a dry cough. Please help me [\|AI\|] Hi Kellstarr, Thanks for writing your query. Afterreadingyour post, it seems that the pain you are experiencing can be due to muscular in origin due to excessive coughing. The inhalers you have mentioned will help in bronchodilatation and help you in asthma. For Chat Doctor. I would suggest that you should have following investigations done :-1. Complete Blood Count(CBC).2. Absolute Eosinophil Count.3. Chest X-Ray (PA view).4. ECG. Steam inhalation can also help in relieving your symptoms. You should eat fresh fruits and vegetables for increasing the immunity and regaining health. If the problem persists, get yourself examined clinically. I hope this is helpful to you. Thanks.
The conversation between human and AI assistant. [\|Human\|] Hello, I ve recently been recovering from back surgery and it seems to be slowly improving until a few days a go when my hip started to bother me, today, as I have been told repeatedly that I should walk so I took a walk down the driveway to the mailbox and back and later took out the garbage(all with the aid of a cane) later, after lunch, I was tired and took some ice and laydown for an hour and now when I got up, the pain in the hip is much worse. Is this a severe injury or am I falling apart a little at a time. I am 86 years old? [\|AI\|] Hello, I have studied your case and I think pain in back of hip joint is most probably due to compression in nerves. Since you have gone through a spine surgery some time there can be nerve irritation during surgery or after surgery due to scarring. I would suggest you to wait for three to four days. Taking NSAID like Broken and if that pain continues after that then you need to visit your doctor and may need a repeat MRI to confirm the diagnosis. If there is any nerve compression then you might need re exploration. I hope this answer will be useful for you. Let me know if there is any other followup questions. Thanks

The conversation between human and AI assistant. [\|Human\|] I am 34 years old, and 2 out of 3 days I have experienced a tightness in my chest where my heart is beating hard and fast for about 45 seconds or so then goes back to a normal rythym and I feel like Im having trouble breathing during that time. After this is over I get a headache within 20 minutes or so. I am also experiencing some minor aches in my shoulder and left armpit. Is this something serious? [\|AI\|] Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Yes, all these symptoms can be due to serious illness like arrhythmia (rhythm disturbances in heart). So better to first rule out arrhythmia in your case. So get done ECG, 2d echo and Holder monitoring (24 hour continuous monitoring of ECG). If all these are normal then no need to worry about arrhythmia or other heart diseases. 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. Try to identify stressor in your life and start working on its solution. Along with counselling, anxiolytic Chat Doctor. Don't worry, you will be alright. But better to first rule out arrhythmia. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
The conversation between human and AI assistant. [\|Human\|] I have been having extreme chest pains semi- often, and dull aching at other times. I had to wear a 24 hour heart monitor and was told that my heart rate jumps all over, it got as low as 36 at one point and jumped much higher than normal afterwards. What could be wrong? [\|AI\|] Hi thanks for contacting Chat Doctor.... Normally heart having regular systole and diastole phase and contract and relaxation of heart chamber regularly .... And so normal heart rhythm is there .... If disturbance occurs in heart rhythm it is called arrhythmia..... So heart beats irregular .... For perfect diagnosis of arrhythmia whether it is premature ventricular contraction, atrial arrhythmia or ventricular one etc.... Holter monitoring done for 24 hours ...ECG and Echo also useful.... According to cause treatment given like for ex. Beta blocker ... Your blood pressure also should be checked ... Consult cardiologist for this.... Hope your concern solved... Take care
The conversation between human and AI assistant. [\|Human\|] Hi may last year I got diagnosed with fibrodenoma in left breast at the side i had a biopsy done while there. Due to have it removed a month ago due to pain, but while there chickened out. Since my breast is in loads of pain, breast looks bigger than right breast. I m really worried due to loosing my dad last year to cancer I ve been panicking and googling none stop. [\|AI\|] Dear Ma'am, Sorry to hear about your problem, but I am glad that you are seeking medical attention for the same. A fibroadenoma is a benign lesion of the breast and is rarely associated with cancer. You should monitor the lump for a few months and if it is increasing in size, you should get it removed. Sometimes fibroadenomas subside with time. Please consult a breast surgeon for the pain in the breasts. Usually it is due to fibroadenomas which is caused by hormonal imbalance, and it responds well to medications. Hope you get well soon. Rohan KhandelwalBreast Surgeon
The conversation between human and AI assistant. [\|Human\|] Good Morning Doctor My lower lip is shivering from last 5-7 days and i felt shivering right hand ring and litter finger also yesterday, is it any disease, i had a problem that a wishlist sound i was hearing continuously in left ear, i consulted and ENT and he advised that it is high frequency loss, now a days i get a feeling of blocked ears as we get in elevators, i have headache also along with loss in concentration, please advise me what exactly is the problem and what sort of doctor should i consult? [\|AI\|] Hi, thanks for posting your concern in Chat Doctor. Loss of concentration, tremors and shivering suggest a provisional diagnosis of Anxiety disorder. The ear problem and headache may be due to panic attack or some pathology in the inner ear or upwards. To rule out, any neurodeficit you need to consult a neurologist. An ENT surgeon as you said had diagnosed SNHL and that may be due to pathology in inner ear and requires treatment under ENT specialists supervision. For any further query, you can write back to us. Best Wishes.
The conversation between human and AI assistant. [\|Human\|] HELLO SIR, SINCE 2 MONTHS BEFORE SUDDENDLY MY BACK IS PAINING TOO MUCH AT BOTTOM.. THEN I CONSULT WID DOCTOR,S AND ALL ..THEN I GO FOR A X- RAY.AND REPOTS SAYS THAT I AHVE PROBLEM OF SCOLIOSIS. BUT IT,S A LITTLE CURVE ON MY BACK BONE FROM DOWNWARDS.SO, IT WILL CORRECT LIKE A ORIGINAL SHAPE..?? SIR OR IT,S A SERIOUS PROBLEM [\|AI\|] Thanks for writing to us. I understand that you have been told about scoliosis. It could be simple scoliosis due to muscle spasm or real scoliosis curve where you have rotated vertebrae. If it's a small curve then nothing to worry. Regular back muscle stretching and exercise will help. However, if you have persistent significant back pain then I would suggest getting MRI spine to know more about the disc condition and facet arthritis. If It's due to muscle spasm then it will be back to normal spine however if it is real scoliosis curve then it will remain like that or may worsen a little more with increasing age. Thanks.
The conversation between human and AI assistant. [\|Human\|] 24 years old, healthy, active female. BMI normal. I ve been starting to have a salty feeling in my mouth which started about a week ago. It s presence is constant. I think that the saliva I secrete might be salty. It never does away even after brushing my teeth or chewing gum. I think that it may be caused by my diet but am not sure. I eat grains for lunch with vegetables and a protein for dinner with vegetables. In between I eat fruit and yogurt as snacks. I eat two eggs for breakfast with some salt added (but that is the only time I use salt). I think that I might be ingesting too much sodium. The vegetables I eat always come from cans. The only fresh thing that I eat apart from fruits (apples and bananas) are cherry tomatoes in my main meals. Recently, a cavity filling fell out of one of my molars leaving a big hole there. I try to clean it properly since I cannot get to a dentist where I currently am and will only be able to see one come May. Luckily, there s no pain or sensitivity. What could be the cause of this salty saliva? [\|AI\|] Hello and welcome, The salty taste in mouth can be due to-Altered salivary secretion. Impacted wisdom tooth. Regressive changes in tooth. Sinus infections. I would suggest you to get a thorough examination by a dentist. Thorough scaling is advice. Decayed teeth have to be restored soon to prevent progression of caries in exposed cavity. Take complete course of medicines too. Take balanced diet and plenty of fluid has to be taken. Hope this helps.
The conversation between human and AI assistant. [\|Human\|] I contracted Grandular Fever a months ago, I had a very enlarged spleen, on the CT Scan they found a blockage, in one of my blood vessels. I was told to take Asprin every day until my specialist appointment, which isn t for another two weeks. I am 38 years old and just found out I am 3 weeks pregnant, what effect would this have on myself or my baby. [\|AI\|] Hi. Thanks for your query. Since you are suffering from the glandular fever and have a large spleen, and blocked vessels and already taking Aspirin, it may not be wise to continue pregnancy as you may need further treatment for the pre-existing conditions. Please talk to your Gynecologist and the Treating Physician to tell you the most proper advise whether the pregnancy should be continued or not.

The conversation between human and AI assistant. [\|Human\|] Hello doctor. iam 25, , Female and I met with an accident were my scooter rested on my lower spine.my MRI report states : 1. Mild lumber dpine scoliosis with concavity to left. 2. L4/L5 and L5/S1disc mild diffuce buldges mildly indentiting thecal sac. 3.Lumbar spine cannal narrowing at L4/L5 and L5/S1 levels. Could anyone help me by explaining how serious is this and suggest exercise or treatments. [\|AI\|] Thank you for asking Chat Doctor. My name is Chat Doctor. Well mild lumbar scoliosis is not a great problem but canal narrowing with disc bulge indenting thecal sac is problem... By seeing the report we can not conclude either you should be kept on conservative management or any decompressive procedure of L5-S1 level... we always correlate patients complaint with imaging findings.so I would suggest visiting neurosurgeon for further intervention required. Meanwhile you can take proper bed rest, no weight lifting, avoid traveling long distance and no bike riding. Take good painkiller like tab.Brexit 30 mg BD, muscle relaxant(Bernadine 2 mg) TDS Gabapentin 75 mg TDS I hope you will get well soon after visiting neurosurgeon. Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything is not clear. Thanks.
The conversation between human and AI assistant. [\|Human\|] Hi, I suffer from very hot feet at night. They are not necessarily warm to the touch, but they do have a burning up sensation, similar to the way a fever would feel on your face. This happens only at night, and isn t helped by ice or cold water. I am a 20 yr old female, avg weight. No health problems or medications. This problem has been ongoing for several years. Thanks! [\|AI\|] Hello there, I understand your concern about this burning sensation in your feet. From the symptoms you have described it seems to be some kind of neuropathy that is damage to peripheral nerves. There are various causes for this and can be as simple as some vitamin deficiency. To treat this condition you need to be thoroughly evaluated that includes a physical exam and some blood tests and maybe some X-ray. Do visit a physician who can conduct an examination and suggest blood tests like, CBC, Vitamin B12 levels, Urine routine, vitamin D levels, Serum Calcium, Kidney functions, Liver function, Thyroid functions as a baseline to find the cause of any nerve damage. Most commonly vitamin B deficiency can lead to these symptoms, especially if you are a vegetarian as B12 is present only in animal sources. Try to improve your diet with fresh leafy vegetables and milk. If you eat non-vegetarian food then include eggs and fish in diet. Hope this helps. Take care.
The conversation between human and AI assistant. [\|Human\|] Hi. Ive developed an oval shaped white sore on the side of my tongue with an open whole in the center. Ive been to the dentist and he is surprised it isnt healing. Ive been to the doctor as well...about 3 weeks ago and he thought it would be a week or two before it healed, but so far it isnt getting better. [\|AI\|] Hi, Thanks for posting the query, According to your clinical symptoms I suppose that you have developed ulceration on the center of tongue, this could be due to infection bacterial and fungal, nutritional deficiency, trauma, stress. I would suggest you to get a checkup done by the Dentist. Take a course of antibiotics and analgesics. Take lukewarm saline and antiseptic mouthwash rinses. Take multivitamin supplements. Apply Hegel topically over the affected area. Take care! Chat Doctor.
The conversation between human and AI assistant. [\|Human\|] I ve been experiencing a toothache for a few weeks now.. I ve allowed it to go on for so long because it hasn t really been that bad. Well just this weekend I notice two small white bumps above the tooth. Now the area is so sore that I can not eat. I m unable to visit with the dentist because it s a holiday weekend. My question is has ANYONE else ever had this problem? Or maybe someone could tell me what this could possibly be? Also I had a root canal done on this tooth a few years back. [\|AI\|] Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor forum, according to the history presented by you, it seems that it is a case of re-infection, as root canal treatment has already been performed on that particular tooth. The reason for re-infection is improper technique of RCT, also you have not mentioned that whether you had a crown over the tooth or not after the RCT.I would recommend you to visit your dentist soon as the infection has spread to the surrounding tissues as well, but till the time you cannot make a clinic visit, start with antibiotic and anti-inflammatory medication. Also perform antibacterial mouth rinse(3-4 times/day).do not worry and meet your dentist soon.I wish you good health, take care.

I have no balance, and no Diabetes. Toes have little or no movement, lower legs are ice cold during daytime and very hot when sleeping at night (causing restlessness) this has been ongoing for 4-5 yrs. It ends at my knees. Will this go any further in my body? Was a very active and high level tennis player. Outside activities included biking, boating, walking, and tennis. Cannot do any of these things now, and it is stressful. Is there an answer??????? [\|AI\|] Hi, Thanks for your query. Peripheral Neuropathy is a condition caused by damage to the peripheral nervous system [most commonly seen in diabetic patients]. The reason may be due to deficiency of nutrients or due to vascular compromise or due to any pressure effect.1. So you can take multi vitamin supplements consisting of pyridoxine, methyl calamine with pregabalin. This supplements will help you in the prevention of symptoms. 2. Along with these you need to have nutritious diet consisting of fruits and green leafy vegetables and more fluids3. Daily out door exercises (150 min per week). I do hope that you have found something helpful, and I will be glad to answer any further query. Take care

The conversation between human and AI assistant. [\|Human\|] Ive had a clear, stringy, liquid coming out of the upper right interior of mouth. (Inside my lip) My dentist thinks it may be a salivary gland gone wild, but offered no remedy. Its most annoying, as I have to pull it out several times a day with a Q-tip. Any suggestions on what it might be and how I can get rid of it? [\|AI\|] Hello, Welcome Thanks for consulting Chat Doctor, I have gone through your query, as you have chair liquid discharge from upper front teeth it can be due to infection in gums there can be formation of sinus tract, so pus can be oozing out from lip. Don't worry consult dentist and go for IOWA X-ray of anterior tooth if it is periapical infection then go for Root canal treatment, and if it is periodontal infection then go for Curettage. Hope this will help you.
The conversation between human and AI assistant. [\|Human\|] I have been treated for about 6 mo. for broncitus infection then acid reflux infection . I just had a allergy test done and it showed Aspergillus Fumigatus type b 0.4 size 5 positive . my symthoms are coughing ,I had heavy muecus. Now I cough throught the day. Hhat is the best treatment for this . I have a compromised immune system from chemo [\|AI\|] Thanks for asking your query completely understand your problem for recurrent upper and lower resp tract infections you can have a 14-day course of antibiotics such as lifetime after asking your pulmonologist and regarding aspergilli or APA, actual treatment is a long term course of steroid tablets like prednisolone and leukotreine antagonists like montelukast. All these are standard treatments but as per your history you have some immunocompromised state. You should consult a pulmonologist and investigate about was type of immunocompromised state you have and how it can be corrected. don't panic APA is a treatable disease, thing is treatment is for long duration, and you have to comply to it. As I said consult a pulmonologist, and you have to take your treatment under supervision as you said you have immunocompromised state thanks/ regards feel free to ask more questions may god bless u with good health
The conversation between human and AI assistant. [\|Human\|] Hi, Iam 28F we are in plan for children.. last month my periods are frm 2nd Feb, this month till now I didnot get periods.., I have taken ChatDoctor test on 3rd of dis month but result is 0.10 & also had ultrsound test 2 days back but they said nothing is seen. Iam not feeling any symptoms also, Iam not understanding when to take 1 more ChatDoctor urine test?? also if I had my periods dis month when we can have our intercourse becuz frm past 2 months I had irregular periods. Please advice. Thanks! [\|AI\|] Hi, You can take a repeat urine test one week after the first one and better still, go for the blood test as you are well overdue. Since you have irregular periods, it is difficult to predict your ovulation time and hence the fertile period. You should consult a specialist to know the cause of your irregular cycles, have investigations like a complete hormonal profile, thyroid profile, ovarian study and so on. You may use the ovulation kit to predict the ovulation time in the present state of menstruation. Take care.
The conversation between human and AI assistant. [\|Human\|] my baby totally started to refuse her bottle and has a feeding aversion, she has had to go on to a ng tube she still isnt drinking much orally but is now opening her mouth for the bottle which she wasnt doing a few days ago, do you think she will ever take the bottle again so I can take out the tube? Is there anyone who can help with feeding aversions? [\|AI\|] Hi...feeding aversion in an infant could be due to a palatopharyngeal incompetence. In this as the kid will not be able to coordinate between the swallowing and breathing - this aversion is the natures way of protecting the airway form aspiration. I suggest you get your infant evaluated by a pediatric neurologist and proceed further. Please do not try oral feeds forcibly if the kid is refusing. Regards -

You have to rule out a Polycystic ovary by ultrasound examination and have to find out whether you are ovulating or not. For that an ultrasound examination and hormone analysis may be necessary. You husband semen analysis also should be carried out. Then your treatment will be easy. You can consult a gynecologist and have a work out of all these at least first. That won't be that expensive. Hope this may help you. Let me know if you have any further query.
The conversation between human and AI assistant. [\|Human\|] Hello,My father has a history of diabetes and blood pressure, currently he has elevated creatinine levels with GFR rate 20ml/min. This level of creatitinine has increased due to consumption of ketosteril tablets.How to reduce this creatinine level to get normal value. [\|AI\|] Hello, Thank you for your contact to Chat Doctor. I understand your health concern, if I am your doctor I suggest you that since your father has diabetes and high blood pressure. Such chronic illness can cause chronic damage to the kidney. Once the kidney function is compromised it leads to rise in the creatinine which is usually filtered by the kidney. To remove the creatinine out of body it is necessary to take the diuretics under your local doctors guidance. I will be happy to answer all your future concern.

The conversation between human and AI assistant. [\|Human\|] Hi Dr, I have a query on dealing with public speaking or performance anxiety... My major fear is about my hands shaking, when ever I m nervous my hands shivers which in turn makes my fear too recursive and stop me from performing or completely I ll get in flight mode. There is only 10 percent chance I can get back to perform at the spot. I started to feel this trauma from the day I started to give a speech at my job some 3 years back. However I was pretty much improving till that time. My confident has gone down only when it comes to public speaking but my will to overcome it is always strong in mind. I took proponal after a dr advise some 2 yr back, that really helped my nervousness and allowed me to talk clear. However this drug took me in to serious side effect , mild pinching chest pain and depression moods(mood change last for 2 days but pain got permanent). I m still experiencing pain but hardly I ll use this drug only on high need. So far I had taken 9 times in 2 yrs and I knew the consequence of it and try making my self prepared to overcome the pain by exercising. I have tested my chest pain( Cardiogram, TMT, chest CT, x ray, ECG) all shows good with out any trouble on my vital chest parts. Can you please help me in this situation, what should I do as this pain is just staying in my body for 8 hours a day continuously. Thanks for any advise [\|AI\|] Degree understand your concerns went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. I see you have two problems. One about the public performance and the second about the chest pain. As the investigations of the chest came negative, then you have nothing to worry (already you are aware). Still you feel the pain. That is anxiety and thought process. The pain false (imagined by you). This happens due to psychosomatic illness like Hyperion Chat Doctor. Psychotherapy should help you overcome. Thoughts are there to come and that is the duty of the brain. Let the thoughts come. You need to divert the thoughts to more priority ones. Means be busy and divert thoughts. Relaxation and meditation plays an important role in controlling Hyperion
The conversation between human and AI assistant. [\|Human\|] I need a root canal terribly bad. However, there is still A LOT of infection in the tooth. There is still swelling in my gums as well. I have tried antibiotics 3 times and there is still infection in it. Is it possible to go ahead and get the root canal with the infection still in it. [\|AI\|] Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query. The swelling in gums could be because of a tooth infection or gum infection. Consult an oral physician and get a radiograph done to rule out this two infection. Check the vitality of the tooth, if the tooth is non-vital then it can be root canal treated. Regarding root canal treatment when you have a swollen gum can be performed after taking a course of antibiotics like penicillin and metronidazole combination for three days(if you are not allergic). Once the root canal treatment is started the pus will start Chat Doctor. You can consult an endodontist and get the RCT done. If there is a gum infection then you need to get the teeth cleaned. I hope my answer will help you, take care.
The conversation between human and AI assistant. [\|Human\|] my husband s brother suffers from something in the brain that affects his movement and memory as he can not remember his children and he is always confused. he makes several kinds of x-rays some doctors diagnose that as tumor in the brain while the others say that it might be the inflammation within the brain because the tumor never exists in two halves of the brain as the x-rays show. i have a copy of x-rays and i can send it if you wish [\|AI\|] Your doctor seems to be right. Chances of tumor in both the halves of brain simultaneously are very rare. He may be suffering from some inflammation which may be bacterial, tubercular or due to cysticercosis(A type of worm infestation of brain)It may be no active lesion, but may be just healed scar. I think a further evaluation by a physician/neurologist is required. Treatment is required according to cause.
The conversation between human and AI assistant. [\|Human\|] Hi I am 50 yrs old @ 5 9 165 lbs. I just had my upper teeth out the other day because of a bad case of pyrea. I am now throwing up and very hot. I am taking pain meds but could I be sick from the pyria? The dentist said he squeezed it all out but could this be dangerous if there is any more there? Thank you Ed [\|AI\|] Hello thanks for consulting at Chat Doctor. The pyre could have caused vomiting,if you have inadvertently swallowed it.YOU should have taken antibiotics and analgesics. Hope you had taken...if not please review for a prescription of those medicines by your treating doctor. Now onwards try and avoid inadvertent swallowing of pus... You also need anti vomiting medicines like perform,and antipyretic like paracetamol to reduce fever.please consult an oral physician for a check-up and treatment. Hope it helps,take care
The conversation between human and AI assistant. [\|Human\|] I was having bad breath, so i went to a medical shop and asked for the tablet, but he gave me some mouth wash. He asked me to gargle with that. I used for 2 times. From that time iam getting irritation, burning in my mouth. Can any body help me with this? [\|AI\|] Hi Hashish, There are several reasons for bad breath, most commonly it is tartar in the mouth. You need to get scaling done to remove the dirt, and it should improve your breath. Most of the mouth washes contain alcohol / chlorhexidine as an ingredient which results in burning sensation in the mouth. If you already had mouth ulcers then it would have caused severe burning and irritation. I would advise you to stop using that mouthwash and revert to non-alcoholic mouthwashes such as Betadine mouthwash. This will stop the burning, and you will feel comfortable. If the irritation persists after a couple of days then I would strongly recommend you to visit a dentist for the same. Regards
The conversation between human and AI assistant. [\|Human\|] I had a tooth pulled a week ago and before he pulled it he had to remove a protruding bone underneath my gum above the tooth that was pulled. The hole where my tooth is removed is ealling nicely but the bone above it is still fully exposed. Is this normal? Will my gums grow back over the exposed bone? Thanks! [\|AI\|] Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query. The exposed bone can be because of the tensed soft tissue over it. During the extraction procedure, if the soft tissue flaps have been approximated under tension, then it can result in exposure(dehiscence) of the bone. If it gets infected, then it can result in osteomyelitis. So consult your oral maxillofacial surgeon and get the bone reduced and induce bleeding and close the wound with flap covering over it with the help of sutures. It is not normal. Consult your dental surgeon. I hope my answer will help you, take care.
The conversation between human and AI assistant. [\|Human\|] hi ,i havn t been to the dentist in a very long time ,like 28 years,i have very bad teeth,i have also developed a abscess on the roof of my mouth,i am scared and in pain,this is my worst fear and totally ashamed ,i also worry my heart wont be able to take it,very scared,thanks [\|AI\|] Hello, thank you for consulting with Chat Doctor. If you are having an abscess in the tooth, you have to visit a dentist, as without the treatment, it will not heal only with the antibiotics. If you have not visited the dentist till now, there is no need to worry as the treatments are not traumatic or painful,, you have to give it a chance, as without it, you will not be relieved. Thank you. Regards
The conversation between human and AI assistant. [\|Human\|] I am 70 years old and have had a kidney transplant for 18 years. I take prednisone and cyclosporine for anti rejection. A year ago I had a total knee replacement . I still have significant pain with activity and am an active rancher. Taking 2 aleve a day helps tremendously. I tried for a week. Of course, the kidney doctor does not want me on NSAIDs due to transplant. My creative is 0.8 and GFR is 96. I understand if I was 40..but am not! To me the benefit may outweigh the risk. Not being able to walk without significant discomfort is hard. [\|AI\|] Hi, I understand your concern and sufferings. It is good to know that transplanted kidney is functioning well. Undoubtedly, NSAIDs intake in your case will not only harm your kidney but all liver, heart,GIT also. The best remedy for pain will be to improve mobility of joints by regular light physiotherapy, exercises,local application of Martini ointment, Chat Doctor. All these will minimize the pain. Just in case you still feel the need to take a tab then Tab Attract will be a better and safe option. Please take good care of your kidney health so that you remain healthy.
The conversation between human and AI assistant. [\|Human\|] Hi. I m 20, female, and have a history of hemorrhoids. Tonight I had a bad bout of diarrhea, and now have a hemorrhoid outside of my anus; but I also have one on my perineum near my vagina, and I find that it burns with Preparation H gel. Is it normal to get a hemorrhoid on my perineum and for it to burn? [\|AI\|] Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor, Hemorrhoids are caused by prolapse of anal skin along with thrombosed veins. Increased pressure in anal and rectal veins is responsible for hemorrhoids. Increased pressure as seen during defecation can cause prolapse of hemorrhoids or piles. However, it is uncommon to find piles or hemorrhoids near the vaginal opening since the vaginal veins are not congested. The lesion that you are seeing or feeling near the vaginal opening may be due to some other lesion. A clinical assessment is required. Consult your primary health provider for clinical assessment. Thanks and take care Chat Doctor.

The condition you have referred to 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
The conversation between human and AI assistant. [\|Human\|] Hello, my right thumb snaps when I open and close it. Sometimes it feels like it is dislocated then snaps back. Last night in the middle of the night I woke up and could not close my thumb. I had to massage it for a few minutes before it would close again? [\|AI\|] Hello I have studied your case, There is possibility of injury to ligament of metacarpal or phalanges joint of thumb. If you are having swelling and pain you can strap your finger to get proper rest to joint. Use ice packs to reduce swelling, inflammation and pain. For early healing you can take Tab Colin [it C] and antioxidant with anti-inflammatory [Tab enzymic plus]. Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow-up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries. Wishing you good health. Take care
The conversation between human and AI assistant. [\|Human\|] I am a 73 year old woman with a history of ovarian cancer stage 2 since 2004. I underwent surgery and was told they got all the cancer, I underwent 7 cycles of chemo. My cancer returned in 2007 and was again operated on for the cancer, they also removed my appenbdix and fixed a hernia. I have been on different types of chemo since then the latest being the pill VP16. I have had NED several times during this time, only for it to return again. It is limited to the abdominal area, liver and kidney. The organs are not affected, it seems the tumors are outside. I am now at a point wher I dont feel I want to take any more chem, definetly not through my port, and I believe the VP16 is losing its power, as it seems to be active again, although slow growing. So I would like to know about alternative methods and would be interested in knowing about Oxy or Oxy DHO.Can you make any suggestions. I am on the following meds, Benicar HCT 40/25, Warfarin (for blood clots), Proprananol er, lexapro 30mg, macrobid 100mg, vicadin as needed, and vesicare 5mg [\|AI\|] Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Resistance to chemotherapy develops after 5-7 years of treatment. And you are experiencing the same thing. Your cancer is now inoperable. So better to consult oncologist and ask for palliative newer chemotherapy Chat Doctor. You can start palliative treatment in the form of pain management and nutritional support. Consult psychiatrist for end of life issues. Hope I have solved your query. Wish you good health. Thanks.
The conversation between human and AI assistant. [\|Human\|] I have had sever problems with myback ( L3, 4, 5 ansS1) for over 20 years I m wondering if this could be causing my upper back ( bra line) to be hurting. I have been seeing specilists after specialist but keep forgetting to ask. Thanks so much for your time. Tracy [\|AI\|] Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns. The answer to your question is yes, having problems with lumbar column for a long time can cause pain above in thoracic column because of the continuous incorrect posture of your body caused by pain, and I assume there might be a degenerative disease affecting your vertebral column. Next time you see your Doctor, you can discuss the possibility to do plain radiographs of your thoracolumbar column, as a start examination to check for scoliosis or kyphoses of your column. Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow-up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions.

The conversation between human and AI assistant. [\|Human\|] i am 34 years old.fair complexion .i have sevral age spots brown in colour on my face.i applied melacre for the first time and the spots had disappeared.now they have appeared again on my face.i have been applying melacare and depiwhite alternatively on the for the past 6 months but there has been no improvement.kindly suggest me a cream or an ointment which can help ins fading these brown spots. [\|AI\|] Hi, Thanks for writing in. You seem to have postinflammatory hyperpigmentation or plasma. Melacare contains steroid called mometasone. It is a potent steroid and long term use can damage your skin permanently. For pigmentation as a general rule-Avoid sun exposure Use a good sunscreen of SPF 30 and repeat application every 3 to 4 hours Take antioxidant and vitamin C supplements. You can apply Closely cream at nighttime over the affected area. You need to consult a dermatologist as dermatology being a visual field, the cause for your pigmentation and the treatment required can only be suggested after proper skin examination. Chemical peeling can give good and long-lasting results. Take care. Chat Doctor.
The conversation between human and AI assistant. [\|Human\|] Hello to Doctor XXXXXX. I am a thyroid patient since 2007 and have been on medication since then. I have been taking Thyronorm 50 mcg. My reports says thyroid is in control. But neverthless, I do not feel so. I still have all the symptoms that thyroid patients have - cold intolerance, skin irritation, indigestion etc. Then I read a lot of articles on internet which claim that allopathy does not have cure for thyroid. Kindly suggest me some good treatment, as I not able to reduce weight even after going to Yoga and drinking loads of water. Please help. [\|AI\|] HelloHypothyroidism can not be cured by any path. You have less production of thyroxine hormones by your thyroid, hence you have to take it daily. As far as weight loss is concerned, by taking plenty of water and doing only yoga will not help. You must do two things for that1... Consume less calories2... Burn more calories by doing aerobics or brisk walking or running daily. In yoga, you are burning many calories, hence you are not getting the required results.3... Continue yoga along with your exercises. Thanks
The conversation between human and AI assistant. [\|Human\|] When I only look to the right I get dizzy and have a pounding (like i feel my heartbeat) in my head. Only when I turn to the right. It started yesterday. I am fine when I get up from lying down. I is only when I look to the right. Do I need to see a chiropractor and get adjusted or is something else possibly wrong ? [\|AI\|] I would recommend seeing a Neurologist or an Otolaryngologies (ENT specialist--Ear, Nose, and Throat), rather than a chiropractor. What you describe sounds possibly like vertigo, a condition that occurs due to an abnormal interaction between the bodies balance system in the inner ear and the nerves that conduct those impulses to the brain. There are medications and certain exercises that can treat this condition--if that's what a workup and evaluation proves it is. There are several other possibilities as well, so the evaluation should begin soon with a history and physical exam by your physician, who may want to check an MRI of the head and inner ear; a hearing test; or certain head, neck, or eye-moving maneuvers to try to confirm the diagnosis. Good luck.
The conversation between human and AI assistant. [\|Human\|] I have developed pain and numbness in both hands with severe tingling. My legs feel very heavy and my feet /ankles are very stiff. This has continued to progress over the past two months. I do not take any medication and I am 52 years old and healthy. I wake up frequently at night because of the numbness and pain. In the mornings when I first put my feet on the floor it is difficult for me to walk. This has all progressed quickly.... thanks, sheila [\|AI\|] Welcome to Chat Doctor I have gone through your query and understand your concern. There are many causes of such numbness. You should get your blood sugar to exclude diabetes. You can get your thyroid function test to exclude thyroid disease. Furthermore, you can get your vitamin B12 and vitamin D to rule out vitamin deficiency. Furthermore, you can get your lumbar spine x-ray to rule out lumbar spondylosis. Till then, you can take Mecobalamine, vitamin and trace elements supplements and analgesic such as ibuprofen for pain relief. You can discuss with your doctor about it. Hope your query get answered. If you have any clarification then don't hesitate to write to us. I will be happy to help you. Wishing you a good health. Take care.
The conversation between human and AI assistant. [\|Human\|] i have a small pea like lump left neck midway between back of earlobe and neck. Have history of breast cancer right side for which I have been cancer free 13 years. Of course, am scared. Do have appt with oncologist next week. What could it be besides cancer? onset was itchy. thought it was a bite or pimple but has not resolved. [\|AI\|] Hi, I can understand your concern. The exact site of the swelling clear from your description. Swelling is at left side and your cancer was of right side. Anyway lymph node swelling if any should be carefully investigated. At present your symptoms not suggestive of cancer or something serious. Do not worry at all. Chance of breast cancer recurrence after 13 years is also very less. Consult your oncologist. He/she will examine you and guide you better.
The conversation between human and AI assistant. [\|Human\|] I searched about antibiotics for toddlers and this is what i ve found from netdoctor site... inflammation of the middle ear...it is often difficult to distinguish between bacterial and viral infections. In most cases of middle ear infection, antibiotics have been shown to be of little benefit. I am worried as this is the first time my 1 year old daughter will take antiobitic (suprax) at least 3 1/2 ml once a day for 10 days. Please let me know of your opinion. Many thanks. [\|AI\|] Hi.what you have seen in the net is right. Many times as doctors we should know when to give antibiotics and most importantly when to restrain ourselves from giving antibiotics. But a decision of whether to give antibiotic or not has to be taken only after doing an stocky of seeing the ear Chat Doctor. So I feel that if your doctor has prescribed you the antibiotic after performing endoscopy, then you can be rest assured that the antibiotics may be needed for your kid. Regards -

The conversation between human and AI assistant. [\|Human\|] Hello. I ve noticed that when I walk, my knees almost hit eachother for every step I take, they kind of bend towards eachother. I really don t know how to explain in an easy way but I hope you understand. It looks really silly when I walk, so I wanna do something about it. I m not fat or so for the record, and I now wonder if you could somehow have some kind of surgery so it looks normal when I walk? And if so, how much does it cost? [\|AI\|] Hellenes pain may be many causes like problem in bones, soft tissue etc. You may need clinical correlation and investigations. Investigations include routine hologram, serum uric acid, X-ray of both knees(AP/Lateral view).MRI of knee may be advised after evaluation. It is the best investigation to assess meniscus, ligament etc. Proper treatment depend upon clinical findings and investigation reports. Get well soon. Take Care Chat Doctor.
The conversation between human and AI assistant. [\|Human\|] A diabetic. Age 50 male. All of a sudden for last 3 days, unable to read anything close, especially small letters. For examples, cannot read the notifications on the cell phone. Especially on the left eye feels like there is something bluring the vision. Was told the feeling is like if the pupils are dialated.For the past 3 days, he is also having flu like symptom with flem and voice change.Should he be worried? [\|AI\|] Hello have gone through your question and understood your concern. Chronically high blood sugar from diabetes is associated with damage to the tiny blood vessels in the retina, leading to a chronic complication of diabetes called diabetic eye disease or diabetic retinopathy. The risk of diabetic eye disease increases the longer a person has diabetes. The disease often progresses unnoticed until it affects vision. Rapid tightening of blood glucose control leads to transient deterioration of diabetic retinopathy. In my opinion this can be a potential cause of his sudden visual problems. Anyway I suggest consulting an ophthalmologist for a comprehensive dilated eye exam for the right diagnose and treatment. Hope this information is helpful. If you have other questions, feel free to ask. I will be happy to help.(you can ask me at Chat Doctor at my private link: bit.do/ChatDoctor- Chat Doctor.
The conversation between human and AI assistant. [\|Human\|] I have a lump in armpit since last ten years and i am not sure what it is not sure which doctor to go to? From internet i got to know that it can be cancerous or due to infection or extension of breast tissue. Not sure what is it but want to get rid of it safely [\|AI\|] Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You have lump in maxilla. It can be lipoma, benign cyst or some enlarged lymph node due to reactive hyperplasia, tuberculosis or lymphoma. You should consult general surgeon for that. If needed go for fine needle aspiration cytology or biopsy of that lump. It will give you exact diagnosis. Then you should take treatment accordingly. Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Wish you a very good health.
The conversation between human and AI assistant. [\|Human\|] Good Evening Doctori am suffering from toe fungal infection. can you please tell me something about its treatment and how much time it will take to get cure. i am also taking a medicine named terbifine since 19 jan 2010. but there is no improvement can you please suggest something.Thanks in advance! [\|AI\|] Good evening & Welcome to Chat Doctor. Incomplete data like age, gender, any associated medical problem like diabetes, duration of antifungal (Terminating) treatment?? To be effective, Terminating should be taken for 6 to 12 weeks. The result of successful treatment will be seen until the nail grows back completely. It may take 4 months or longer to eliminate an infection. If you did not notice any response even after 4 months, it may be due to ineffective treatment or resistance to Terminating. In that case other medications like Itraconazole tablet or antifungal nail polish containing Ciclopirox would be more effective. Besides, your nail should be trimmed properly this helps reduce pain by reducing pressure and the Chat Doctor. Any underlying cause like diabetes should be controlled with the medications. Hope the suggestions given would be useful.
The conversation between human and AI assistant. [\|Human\|] I had Unprotected Sex 2 weeks ago , today . My Partner Ejaculated inside and didnt pull out until he was done . I have Polycystic Ovarian Symdrome ( PCOS ) , so I have Itregular Periods and Im UnSure of when to Test , since I cant go by a Missed Period . Lately Ive had Back Pain , Cramps , HeadAches , Very Frequent Urination , Fatuige and Headaches . Ive takes a Home Pregnancy Test 3 Times already and all hve come back Nagative . What should I do ? Is what Im experiencing really Pregnancy ?! [\|AI\|] Tithe symptoms of back pain, cramps, frequent urination are not specific to early pregnancy and can be due to variety of things like urine infection. I would suggest you to get a urine test (microscopy and culture) done to see if you have a urine infection. Also wait for a week and get another urine pregnancy test done. That test would be then 3 weeks after the episode of unprotected sex. If its negative then you are not pregnant. If you can't wait till 1 week you can also get a blood test done now (B Chat Doctor)Let me know if you have any more queries. Thanks
The conversation between human and AI assistant. [\|Human\|] I have alot of blackheads on my nose. it s so unglam. I tried ways to get rid of it but failed. nose strips don t seem to help too? I can t afford for a dermatologist . is there anyway I can remove it? [\|AI\|] Hi!Rachel, Welcome To Chat Doctor forum, Usually people get confused between fine hair growth with the black head over nose. So kindly get it either examined by a dermatologist or look closely for the fine hair growth. If it's a black head then you can use retinoid cream at night over the lesion.Don't forget to use a good sunscreen in the daytime. Tretinoin cream has a peeling action and would peel off the skin along with the black heads. I would suggest you to consult a dermatologist at any government set up. Regards, Chat Doctor.
The conversation between human and AI assistant. [\|Human\|] Ive had swelling in my both are mostly left one for a long time have been to drs for years on Tuesday the dr said weve tried lits of meds no relief she said theres nothing else to be down chalked it up as chronic pain syndrome and a compressed nerves neuropathy before i wad offered a nerve block now its nothing i know im not supposed to live the rest of my lifr like this please help [\|AI\|] Hello, As mentioned by you in history you have tried almost every possible thing to reduce the pain. What I figured out is that no exercise is tried. So in all the procedures above the muscle would have gone weak by now and making joints to friction by touching of the end plates of the joints. Also, the muscle weakness will lead to fatigue to set in faster and release more of the lactic acid. Improving the overall muscular physiology with the help daily general exercise and some specified for the muscular system where the pain is more will help to have some relief. This has to be done under a competitive physiotherapist and also for a longer number of days. As the much precisely and more you do exercise the more the benefit will be. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Jay In Chat Doctor.

[\|AI\|] Hello dairy understand your concerned have taken the emergency contraceptive pill on the same day of unprotected sexual intercourse. It is highly effective in preventing the pregnancy if taken with in 24 hours. It has 95-97% effective in preventing the pregnancy.

The conversation between human and AI assistant. [\|Human\|] I have some cervical spinal stenosis, but every morning I wake up with moderate to severe pain behind my eyes ,sinus passages and sometimes even lower back. The pain is lessened with ibuprophen but sometimes progresses to a full blown migraine. With a 3 year old I am desperate to focus completely on her instead of seeing the world through a cage of pain. Any suggestions? [\|AI\|] Hi, Thank you for posting your query. You have three distinct problems contributing to pain, and each of them needs to be tackled to make you pain-free. For cervical stenosis, please consult a neurosurgeon to decide whether you need surgery or epidural injections. If not, then, physiotherapy and medications (such as pregabalin) would help. For sinus, show to an ENT surgeon, and take a course of antibiotics if needed. In addition, steam inhalation and nasal decongestants are beneficial. For migraine, please use preventive medications such as topiramate. I hope it helps. Please get back if you require any additional information. Best wishes, Chat Doctor. Ly/

Please type your query here...my age 27 weight 80 few day i eat antibiotic tablic over dose my blood pressure is high not control whats the reson mt teeth rct start me come home and eat meat and tablits blood pressur is high [\|AI\|] Hi Thereto antibiotics do not increase the blood pressure but if you are suffering from some infection which probably you are, infection can raise the BP up to certain extent. I would like to recommend avoid meals that contain good amount of salt like meat for few days and stop smoking completely if you do. Get an ECG done and if you have a family history of Hypertension then you need to monitor your BP daily for a week at a particular time and if it stays high (more than 140/90mmHg) then you need to be started on meds with lifestyle changes. Good Luck
The conversation between human and AI assistant. [\|Human\|] doctors removed my chocolate cyst in both ovaries last year that was about 7cm and 3cm each.know i am taking duphaston and lyglow 3 months course.what are the chances of conception [\|AI\|] HelloThanks for your query. I will try my best to provide you with the best possible professional recommendations to your questions. DO Not attempt to get pregnant for these 3 months! The injection is intended to shrink the endometriosis, by concentrated hormones, so AFTER you will be more likely to become pregnant. It is unlikely you would have your period while these injections are ongoing. Try to avoid unprotected sex during the course of treatment. Yet again, I do hope that you have found something helpful, and I will be glad to answer any further query. Regards

Don t know what to do [\|AI\|] Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. In my opinion your son is having bronchiectasis. In this disease patient has thick, copious secretions, coughing all the time with wheezing and shortness of breath. So better to get done HRCT (High Resolution C T) for the diagnosis of bronchiectasis. Try to follow these steps.1. Inhaled bronchodilators.2. Pulmonary rehabilitation with chest physiotherapy and deep breathing exercise. 3. Expectorant and Multics.4. Pulmonary vaccination with pneumococcal and h.influenza to prevent future infections.
The conversation between human and AI assistant. [\|Human\|] Hi. I recently started waking up in the morning with achy pain in my lower back/side - right side. I have had back pain before so know its not that. Its not anywhere near the spine (more on the side) and above the real lower back where I have had back pain in the past. Im sleeping in the same bed so that has not changed. I believe its my kidney. It hurts and aches but then goes away after an hour or so after waking. What might this be? [\|AI\|] Hi welcome to Chat Doctor, I understand your query and concern. As per your clinical description of pain, it usually points to renal stone located somewhere in the lower ureter. For this you need to have a CT scan of the abdomen for accurate assessment. Gelusil cannot control this pain. I advise you to have Tab Tramadol and Tab. Pantop 40 mg, a course of antibiotic taken under medical prescription to control this pain. Further expert management depends on the outcome of the CT scan result. If the size of stone is more than 5 cm then depending on the location of stone Extra corporeal lithography can be done.Meanwhile, you need to take soft and less spicy foods. Chat Doctor. Fruits, fruit juices, vegetable salads, soups should be taken. Post your further queries if any. Thank you.

[\|AI\|] Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You may have some piles (hemorrhoids). You should go for per rectal examination. If you have piles then you should take high fiber diet with plenty of water. Avoid constipation. Istanbul powder is helpful. If your symptoms are not relieved then surgery is the treatment of choice. Consult your doctor and take treatment accordingly. Hope I have answered your question, if you have any doubts then contact me at bit.ly/ Chat Doctor. Thanks for using Chat Doctor.

The conversation between human and AI assistant. [\|Human\|] hi, doctor I am 25 year old male. I was treated for pulmonary tuberculosis for 6 months AND DIRECTLY OBSERVED. after the treatment the xray remained the same no changes at all. but the problem is that I still feel back pains where the hazy part is. what should I do or is it normal? [\|AI\|] Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor. After going through your query I think You are suffering from chronic backache. It is related to some extent to your old pulmonary tuberculosis as healing occur by fibrosis and calcification. After the treatment the x-ray remains the same.it does not change so no need to worry. Treatment of back pain is exercises, Cartilage D once daily, NUROKIND GOLD ONCE DAILY and analgesics (diclofenac 100mgSR) whenever pain. Sometimes vitamin D deficiency is the cause so get your vitamin D checked. If it is low then vitamin D supplementation(On DK 60K weekly with milk) can be taken. Avoid long continuous sitting. Sit in a straight posture. Eat milk, fruits and green leafy vegetables daily. To further investigate MRI of the region is advised. I think your query answered. Welcome to any follow-up query

It s been a 1year & 2 months since the tubal has been done. Just recently of last month of June 28,2015 my period started and lasted for 4 days. It was supposed to start on the 26 of July but today I m 3 days late and I notice since these past 3 days I ve been peeing frequently 5-10 min and I notice I ve become lightheaded and dizzy. I just want to know I could be preggers or just stress? [\|AI\|] Hi, I think you should do a urine pregnancy test at home. Sometimes failure of ligation occurs, but it is rare. So, just clear your doubt by a pregnancy test. If negative, it can happen due to some stress factor. So, wait for your periods. If you don't get your periods within 2 weeks of your expected date, and test is negative, you can take some medicines for inducing periods. Frequent urination can be due to urine infection. Get a urine routine and microscopy and a culture done. Chat Doctor. Hope I have answered your question. Regards
The conversation between human and AI assistant. [\|Human\|] Hi, my husband is 38 and has had a lump on the front part of his head. He hit his head with a pile driver at work about 10 years ago. It s about the size of a quarter. Its raised up and moves around. It seems like some days it more raised up than others and he gets dizzy and has headaches. What could it be. Please help. [\|AI\|] Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor, A lump in the head after a head injury can lead to symptoms like headache and dizziness. A head injury should be followed by CT scan because asymptomatic injuries can lead to blood clots and hemorrhage which be serious later on. Thus, I suggest you to get a CT scan of the head region for assessment and thus management. Consult your physician or preferable neurosurgeon for clinical assessment and thus management. Thanks and take care Chat Doctor.
The conversation between human and AI assistant. [\|Human\|] I fell 3 days ago and have a red bruise on my knee. When I returned home it did not appear to be an open wound ( no external bleeding) But over the last 3 days the centre of the bruise is becoming yellowish which appears to be pus. Ive been applying antiseptic cream even though the wound is not open. My question is: Can I apply ice to the bruise if there if pus there? And - how did pus get in there if the would was not open? Any advice would be appreciated. [\|AI\|] Hi. Welcome to Chat Doctor . I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns. As per your complaint a red bruise at the site of injury is due to ruptured blood vessel caused by trauma leading to spillage of blood into soft tissues. It is not a serious condition and will get resolved gradually as the blood will disintegrate. As the area has become yellow with pus in it there is a possibility that there has been infection in the area along with pus formation. As the injured area become weak the bacteria present in blood or from mild laceration from the skin can penetrate the area of injury and cause infection. I would suggest you to consult a General Physician and get evaluated, and he can advise you to take antibiotics like Sulphamethoxazole and Trimethoprim, and anti-inflammatory painkiller like Ibuprofen. You can also be advised to apply antibiotic ointment over the injured area. In case if there is excessive pus accumulation Incision and Chat Doctor. . Hope this information helps. Thanks and regards.

[\|AI\|] Even my mother had this fever and some swelling in the neck, she was diagnosed to be blood cancer and the doctor told to go to a cancer center. They told she will survive only for some 5 years even after chemotherapy and bone marrow transplant might prolong her life, but it is too costly as well as very difficult to get the matched bone marrow, we tried with chemo and her condition is improving, we're also giving her some turmeric mixed in milk. I read in some article that it will protect and cure also. So I am doing this. Now she is improving.
The conversation between human and AI assistant. [\|Human\|] Husband had a heart attack. Drs. say he had very little oxygen at arrival. He was placed under sedation, however they suspended the sedatives and he doesnt respond to commands . he is on a respitator, how long for us to know if he has brain damage or not. [\|AI\|] Hello madam, I pray to God for you. There are some hallmark signs of brain death-1)when you shine torchlight in the eyes, the pupils don't constrict or react, and they remain fixed and dilated.2)when you touch the cornea of eye with a wisp of cotton, eyes don't blink in a dead brain.3)when you turn the head towards one side, in normal individuals eyeball move in opposite direction(dolls eye reflex). In a dead brain,eyeballs remain fixed. These signs suffice for calling it a brain death, for all practical purposes.

Also, one should be aware that any hemorrhage happened in the past shouldn't be taken lightly, and utmost care has to be taken. It is good to hear that the kid is doing all good without any major symptoms.

The conversation between human and AI assistant. [\|Human\|] Hi! I got scratched by an aggressive dog through fabric (that not did rip, but there was a scratch on my leg) about a year and a half ago. I had animal control look at the dog 10 days after the bite and they reported that the dog seemed healthy (barking, walking, etc.). I am now wondering if I should have been more concerned. Can I trust the dog was rabies free? Should I have gotten the rabies vaccine? Should I know? [\|AI\|] Hello, THX to contact us. I understand your concern. If I am your treating doctor I advise you that as dog is under observation since 10 days, and it is not showing any signs of rabies, so there is very little chance of rabies virus in you. But if you do not want to take chance you can go for virus vaccination, it is harm less and gives you more protection.

You may take antihistamines like levocetirizine or desloratidine till itch is relieved. Systemic steroids may be taken in tampering doses, if needed.

The conversation between human and AI assistant. [\|Human\|] I have a Bartholin gland cyst that has already been marsupialised as of two weeks ago. My stitches have yet to dissolve, and I still feel a small lump there. I was on the substitute for Bactrim, but a week after the marsupialization, she put me on the substitute for Augmentin. I have approximately 10 pills left, ordered to take them twice a day, and I have yet to notice a change. Will it ever go away, or should I do another marsupialization? [\|AI\|] Welcome to Chat Doctor. 1. Generally post procedure status of the cyst - might show some edema which looks like a cyst, as It's still earl post procedure.2. The other possible cause could be reoccurrence of the cyst again - which is also possible in few cases.3. In case of reoccurrence - you need to wait till the stitches heal - and further monitor and plan for a minor surgical procedure.4. Antibiotis are generally indicated after any procedure for better healing and as anti-infective.5. So at this moment - you need to take medication and let the area get healed first, then needs examination again after few weeks - if required a repeat procedure or minor surgery. Good luck. Hope I have answered your query,anything to ask ? Do not hesitate to ask.http://doctor.ChatDoctor .com/doctors/ Chat Doctor.
The conversation between human and AI assistant. [\|Human\|] I have a child that is almost 3 years old that was eating a chicken leg. Upon examining his plate to see if he needed anything else I realized that there was part of the chicken bone broken off and missing. When I asked him where it went he said it was in his mouth and he ate it. He had already swallowed the food so I dont know exactly how much he swallowed or if it was a small broken piece that he possibly chewed. Do I need to take him to the emergency room? [\|AI\|] Taking a child to emergency room depends on when your child ingested the foreign body, where it is located in gut and what type and how large was the foreign body.in your case child ingested a chicken bone, it is small can be sharp or blunt, has not caused any symptoms like vomiting, pain, or difficulty in swallowing at any time. So it's not of emergency. But position of chicken bone has to be looked in gut by a chest and abdominal x-ray. If it is still (after 2 hours of ingestion) in upper gut esophagus it has to be removed by endoscope. If it has not crossed stomach after 3 days it has to be removed. If it has crossed stomach it will pass by itself in stool. So please get the X-rays done.
