Feels sort of "mid-chest", very brief (1-2 seconds), sharp in quality. Had a similar issue many years ago, but this has been more persistent (though only with swallowing carbonated beverages as above). GERD?

I have recently started taking Metronidazol for a bacterial infection. Suddenly, the same day I started taking the medicine my right eye has started to swell. At first I thought it was just a stye and I did rub my eyes with a tissue the same day I started taking the medicine. It has been four days and my eye keeps getting worse. I have avoided makeup around my eye and am applying warm, wet compresses regularly. Is this a side effect to the medicine? I haven t had a stye in years and never this swollen before.

My 3 year old daughter is usually a playful energetic soul with a good appetite. For the last three or four days, she has been complaining of a stomach ache. She started waking up at night and has just become lethargic. She will just lay around or put her head down on the table. She doesn t even enjoy her after dinner snacks anymore.

Appetite is not as high as usual and energy level is very low. Diabetes and asthma run in the family. I m starting to get concerned!!

I have question regarding a stent which was put in 10 years ago. What is the best way to detect if the stent is still working properly. My doctor has ordered a Stress Test, but said the large medical centers might have a better way of detecting this. My blood pressure is normal, but I have felt a little pressure in my chest. Of course, this pressure could be the result of a pulled muscle, but I don t know how to know the exact cause. The pressure is not a problem at this moment. Thanks so much for your help! HGE

Hello doctor, My fiancee and I had unprotected sex a few days back, but I did not ejaculate inside her. Just to be on the safer side, we wanted to use the emergency contraceptive pill. But due to some restriction in the country where we live, Plan B or emergency contraceptive pills are not available.

I have been diagnosed with a non-cancerouse mangioma tumor by my collarbone and across the top of my shoulder. Multiple biopsies were taken and all were negative. Before having the biopsies, I had no pain or discomfort. It has been almost 6 months since the biopsies and now have not only continued discomfort in the area where they did the biopsies, but often have pain down the arm and into the neck and behind the shoulder blade. Should I be concerned or is this more than likely my bodys response to the multiple biopsies? (They were very painful and it took more than ten tries with a guided needle to get enough tissue to do the biopsy)

29 year old male. I have a lump on my inner left thigh, perhaps 2 inches from my genitals. It is hard, smooth, and appears to be separate from the skin, lying underneath. There is no visible evidence of it being there, I can simply feel it. It doesn't cause any pain. It just concerns me, probably more so because my medical insurance expires in 5 days. Is this something that should be removed, drained, left alone, or what?

Background: Suboptimal nutritional status of a newborn is a risk factor for short- and long-term morbidity and mortality. The objectives of this review were to assess the efficacy and effectiveness of neonatal synthetic vitamin A supplementation, dextrose gel and probiotic supplementation for prevention of morbidity and mortality during infancy in low and middle-income countries. Methods: We included randomized trials. Primary outcome was all-cause mortality. We conducted electronic searches on multiple databases. Data were meta-analyzed to obtain relative risk (RR) and 95% confidence interval (CI). Studies for vitamin A and Probiotics were analyzed separately. No studies were found for dextrose gel supplementation during neonatal period. The overall rating of evidence was determined by Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation (GRADE) approach. Results: Sixteen studies assessed the effect of vitamin A supplementation during the neonatal period. Based on pooled data from community-based studies only, there was no significant effect of vitamin A on all-cause mortality at age 1 month (RR 0.99, 95% CI 0.90, 1.08), 6 months (RR 0.98; 95% CI 0.89-1.08) and 12 months (RR 1.04, 95% CI 0.94, 1.14) but increased risk of bulging fontanelle (RR 1.53, 95% CI 1.12, 2.09). The overall quality of evidence was high for the above outcomes. Thirty-three studies assessed the effect of probiotic supplementation during the neonatal period and were mostly conducted in the hospital setting. Probiotics reduced the risk of all-cause mortality (RR 0.80, 95% CI 0.66, 0.96), necrotizing enterocolitis (RR 0.46, 95% CI 0.35, 0.59) and neonatal sepsis (RR 0.78, 95% CI 0.70, 0.86). The grade ratings for the above three outcomes were high. Conclusions: Vitamin A supplementation during the neonatal period does not reduce all-cause neonatal or infant mortality in low and middle-income countries in the community setting. Probiotic supplementation during the neonatal period seems to reduce all-cause mortality, NEC, and sepsis in babies born low birth weight and/or preterm in the hospital setting.

i have had a pain that can come and go but the pain is usually in consistently the same, never terrible enough to stop doing anything that I am doing, but it always comes back. it seems to wrap around my lower right rib and can end up on my right side of my back. When i stand up and move around it goes away, but sitting usually makes it worse. pushing on the area gives me no pain. I have had a ct scan, and ultrasound, but nothing is showing up. of course, i worry it is the most terrible thing, like a large tumor! I have had this for well over a year and 1/2. I have been seen by a doctor. No bowel problems either. I thought it was my gall bladder, but the ct scan revealed nothing. I even had a PET Scan a year ago June, and nothing.

The adaptive immune response to severe acute respiratory coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is important for vaccine development and in the recovery from coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Men and cancer patients have been reported to be at higher risks of contracting the virus and developing the more severe forms of COVID-19. Prostate cancer (PCa) may be associated with both of these risks. We show that CD4(+) T cells of SARS-CoV-2-unexposed patients with hormone-refractory (HR) metastatic PCa had decreased CD4(+) T cell immune responses to antigens from SARS-CoV-2 spike glycoprotein but not from the spiked glycoprotein of the ‘common cold’-associated human coronavirus 229E (HCoV-229E) as compared with healthy male volunteers who responded comparably to both HCoV-229E- and SARS-CoV-2-derived antigens. Moreover, the HCoV-229E spike glycoprotein antigen-elicited CD4(+) T cell immune responses cross-reacted with the SARS-CoV-2 spiked glycoprotein antigens. PCa patients may have impaired responses to the vaccination, and the cross-reactivity can mediate antibody-dependent enhancement (ADE) of COVID-19. These findings highlight the potential for increased vulnerability of PCa patients to COVID-19.

I was stung by a bee on the sole of my feet. I took out the stinger immediately and all was well until about 12 hours later. I developed chills. I thought it was flu. I took some panadol and went to sleep. This morning, I felt better. There were no more chills. Is it ok not to see the GP. Or should I be cautious and go and see the GP to get some medication? Will the symptons come back again?

Hi. A friend of our business has had some kind of virus recently, an has been in and out of the hospital during the last couple of weeks. He went through a cardio cath today and the Cardiologist confirmed that the virus has caused a cardio myopathy with an ingestion fraction of 20. I guess the normal fraction should be 60 to 80. Is there anything that can be done, or what is the prognosis.

Hi, my son has eczema, but hasn't had a flare up for months now. We have recently moved to Panama and now he has a rash that started around his neck and is spreading down his back and front. It looks like little red bumps. Is doesn't seem to trouble him too much. Since his eczema flare-ups we have been using Diprobase ointment to cover him at every nappy change to keep his eczema at bay - which has been successfull until now. I am just wondering if this is heat rash or eczema. If it's heat rash, how do we treat it?Many thanks,Gmlmje

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2, previously 2019-nCoV) is suspected of having originated in 2019 in China from a coronavirus infected bat of the genus Rhinolophus. Following the initial emergence, possibly facilitated by a mammalian bridge host, SARS-CoV-2 is currently transmitted across the globe via efficient human-to-human transmission. Results obtained from experimental studies indicate that animal species such as cats, ferrets, raccoon dogs, cynomolgus macaques, rhesus macaques, white-tailed deer, rabbits, Egyptian fruit bats, and Syrian hamsters are susceptible to SARS-CoV-2 infection, and that cat-to-cat and ferret-to-ferret transmission can take place via contact and air. However, natural infections of SARS-CoV-2 have been reported only in pet dogs and cats, tigers, lions, snow leopards, pumas, and gorillas at zoos, and farmed mink and ferrets. Even though human-to-animal spillover has been reported at several instances, SARS-CoV-2 transmission from animals-to-humans has only been reported from mink-to-humans in mink farms. Following the rapid transmission of SARS-CoV-2 within the mink population, a new mink-associated SARS-CoV-2 variant emerged that was identified in both humans and mink. The increasing reports of SARS-CoV-2 in carnivores indicate the higher susceptibility of animal species belonging to this order. The sporadic reports of SARS-CoV-2 infection in domestic and wild animal species require further investigation to determine if SARS-CoV-2 or related Betacoronaviruses can get established in kept, feral or wild animal populations, which may eventually act as viral reservoirs. This review analyzes the current evidence of SARS-CoV-2 natural infection in domestic and wild animal species and their possible implications on public health.

Hello doctor, I need a detailed medical advice regarding my son's medical condition. My baby was born on the 19th last month, but he was premature. He was born at 29 weeks. His birth weight was 1.26 kg. Due to his preterm birth, the baby was in NICU for 45 days and got discharged. During birth, he had RDS and a surfactant was given and later supported with CPAP for five days. Feeding was done with OG tube and slowly shifted to oral feed after 25 days (spoon feeds). Initially, he had feed intolerance, but he is fine now. NN jaundice was diagnosed and phototherapy was given. At discharge advice, weight: 1.89 kg, height: 45 cm, HC: 30 cm, breastfeed on demand, spoon feed every 2 hours. Medications: Caffeine 9 mg (now stopped), multivitamin drops (D3 and A to Z), Domstal suspension 0.5 ml, iron supplement 0.4 ml.As of today, he is 65 days old and his weight is 2.42 kg. In the last 24 hours, he is passing more liquid stools and not like a paste. His usual pattern is one to three stools per day. But, in the last 24 hours, he pooped at least 10 times and most are a bit watery. He is exclusively breastfed. No formula is being given. Is it a sign of loose motion? If so, what should be done? During his stay at the hospital, he caught a mild cold. His doctor gave him nasal saline drops and we are using it. It has been almost three weeks now and the baby is slightly coughing. One week back his pediatrician told no medication needs to be given and it will go away. He makes a lot of noise while sleeping. How to treat this cold and cough in a preterm baby? Will this lead to any other complication? His feeding is a challenge. He likes breastfeed, but sucks only for three to four minutes and falls asleep. If we try to wake him up, he is not active to take the further feed and within the next 30 to 40 minutes, he will wake up and demand feed. Due to this frequent feed, my wife gets really tired. Spoon feed he is taking but that too not as expected. He is passing urine well. My concern is whether he will drink enough milk when put on the breast? What should be the pattern to follow? He frequently makes a lot of grunting noises. We are much worried and doubt if it is because of any pain or discomfort. Are these sounds and moves normal?

I dont feel ill other than the fever and seasonal allergies. Are my allergies the cause of my fever? This pattern of having low grade fevers happens several times a year for a few years now. What is causing my fevers?

OBJECTIVE The objective of this diagnostic accuracy review is to evaluate the effectiveness of rapid antigen tests versus viral genetic PCR-based tests on COVID-19 diagnostic accuracy in adults 18 years and over. INTRODUCTION Due to the rapidly changing nature of the COVID-19 pandemic, it is imperative that clinicians have access to the most relevant and effective tools and information required to combat this disease. Testing strategies are being developed continuously and need to be evaluated to ensure their appropriate implementation into clinical practice. INCLUSION CRITERIA This systematic review will include publications that are in the English language (originally or translated) and any gray literature pertaining to the tests of interest. All races, ages over 18, and geographic locations will be considered. METHODS MEDLINE (PubMed), Embase (Elsevier), Scopus (Elsevier), Qinsight (Quertle), and WHO COVID-19 database (World Health Organization) will be searched. Scopus, Qinsight, and WHO COVID-19 include gray literature. Studies in English published from November 2019 to the present will be considered. Animal studies and studies including pregnant women will be excluded. Retrieval of full-text studies, data extraction, and assessment of methodological quality will be performed independently by two reviewers. A custom data extraction table will be used. Findings will be graphically represented with two forest plots, one for sensitivity and the other for specificity. The strategy for meta-analysis includes producing a summary receiver operating characteristic curve and estimating the summary sensitivity/specificity for each threshold provided in the articles. SYSTEMATIC REVIEW REGISTRATION NUMBER PROSPERO CRD42020224250.

I bumped my L hip and now it is has been numb/ tingling for a few days as well as entire L lateral leg. I thought this could be back issue but with forward bending to open the lumbar foramen it did not decrease numbness/tingling. The numbness and tingling is mild, intermittent, with no numbness/tingling at night (at least not that I am aware)
