Question: I woke up this morning feeling the whole room is spinning when i was sitting down. I went to the bathroom walking unsteadily, as i tried to focus i feel nauseous. I try to vomit but it wont come out.. After taking panadol and sleep for few hours, i still feel the same.. By the way, if i lay down or sit down, my head do not spin, only when i want to move around then i feel the whole world is spinning.. And it is normal stomach discomfort at the same time? Earlier after i relieved myself, the spinning lessen so i am not sure whether its connected or coincidences.. Thank you doc!

The most likely cause for your symptoms is benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV), a type of peripheral vertigo. The most common symptom is dizziness or giddiness, which is made worse with movements. Accompanying nausea and vomiting are common. The condition is due to a problem in the ear, and improves in a few days on its own. Betahistine tablets would help relieve your symptoms. Doing vestibular rehabilitation or adaptation exercises would prevent the recurrence of these symptoms. An ENT evaluation would also help.

Hi... Thank you for consulting in Chat Doctor. It seems your kid is having viral diarrhea. Once it starts it will take 5-7 days to completely get better. Unless the kids having low urine output or very dull or excessively sleepy or blood in motion or green bilious vomiting...you need not worry. There is no need to use antibiotics unless there is blood in the motion. Antibiotics might worsen if unnecessarily used causing antibiotic associated diarrhea. I suggest you use zinc supplements (Z&D Chat Doctor.

Question: Oxycodone use in pregnancy
Context: Oxycodone is a controlled substance used to treat moderate to severe pain. It is classified as a Schedule II controlled substance due to its potential for abuse and dependence. Oxycodone is classified as a category C medication by the FDA, indicating that animal studies have shown adverse effects on the fetus. Animal studies have shown that oxycodone can cause fetal harm, including:
* Fetal harm
* Neonatal abstinence syndrome
There is no conclusive evidence that oxycodone use during pregnancy increases the risk of birth defects. However, maternal use of opioids, including oxycodone, during pregnancy was associated with an increased risk of congenital anomalies.
Women who are pregnant or planning to become pregnant should discuss the risks and benefits of oxycodone use with their healthcare provider. If oxycodone is necessary, the lowest effective dose should be used for the shortest duration possible.
|
Medications can only affect a fetus if taken while pregnant. Certain medications may decrease a man's sperm count and affect fertility. However, pain medications like Oxycodone do not have this effect. To prepare for a healthy pregnancy, follow a well-balanced diet, limit alcohol consumption, avoid cigarette smoke, and take a daily prenatal vitamin or folic acid. Folic acid supplements in early pregnancy help prevent certain types of birth defects.

Question: A 5-month-old infant presents with:
Context: Bronchiolitis is a common lower respiratory tract infection that affects infants and young children, typically under the age of 2, and is often caused by viral infections such as respiratory syncytial virus. In infants, symptoms can include wheezing, coughing, and difficulty breathing, which can be exacerbated by underlying conditions such as prematurity or heart disease.
|
Your baby may be having bronchiolitis, a lung infection common in children of this age. It is commonly caused by a virus. Albuterol via nebulization should be used to alleviate wheezing and help with congestion. A decongestant can also be used for colds. A chest X-ray should be done to rule out other diseases, such as pneumonia.

Context: Nine year old child with persistent cough and flu symptoms for three months. Cough is chesty sounding and produces green phlegm. Symptoms initially improved but have recurred.

If the symptoms persist, it suggests the presence of an allergic element. To treat this type of allergy, an over the counter antihistamine can be given once daily before bed. A cough suppressant such as dextromethorphan and an expectorant such as Murine can help reduce the cough. If green phlegm persists, an antibiotic may be required.

Question: shortness of breath
Context: Pleural effusion is a condition where fluid accumulates in the space between the lungs and the chest wall, which can be caused by various factors including infection, inflammation, or cancer. Staphylococcus aureus is a type of bacteria that can cause skin and soft tissue infections, as well as more serious conditions such as pneumonia and pleural effusion, particularly in individuals with compromised immune systems or underlying medical conditions.
|
Possibility of bacterial infection, especially staphylococcus, is more likely given the patient's history and symptoms. She is experiencing pleural effusion and infective skin lesions on the breast. Staphylococcus can cause pleural effusion and blister formation on the skin. Chances of staphylococcal infection are more likely in this case. Pleural fluid culture and sensitivity should be sent for the diagnosis of staphylococcal infection. This will also inform effective antibiotic therapy. With appropriate antibiotics and care, this infection can be treated.

Question: 28 years old, married for 6 years.

In women with irregular periods, ovulation may not occur regularly, but it is still possible for conception to occur, making it essential to investigate both partners when addressing fertility issues.
|
Irregular periods do not preclude conception. Infertility can be linked to either partner. If irregular periods are the only issue, both partners should undergo assessment and counseling.

Question: Sprained foot. Foot was injured when it snapped down into a trough. Swelling occurred since Friday. Bruising started after 24 hours of ice application and is now spreading, with dark discoloration on toes. Pain is localized to the outside of the foot, not the ankle.
Context: Sprained foot. Foot injury occurred when it snapped down into a trough. Swelling occurred since Friday. Bruising started after 24 hours of ice application and is now spreading, with dark discoloration on toes. Pain is localized to the outside of the foot.
|
A twisting injury to the foot may lead to a sprain or minor fracture in the foot bones. Diagnosis is confirmed by an x-ray of the involved foot, including anteroposterior and oblique views, to rule out bony abnormalities.
If the x-ray is normal, RICE therapy is required, which includes:
* Rest
* Ice application
* Compression bandage
* Limb elevation
Medications include:
* Tab Diclofenac sodium twice a day for pain relief
* Tab Choral forte twice a day for swelling reduction
If the x-ray shows a fracture, a below-knee slab may be given. If the x-ray is abnormal, consult an orthopedic surgeon nearby.

Question: H pylori infection
Context: Treatment: Triple therapy consisting of clarithromycin, amoxicillin, and omeprazole H pylori is a type of bacteria that can cause stomach ulcers and other gastrointestinal problems. It is typically treated with a combination of antibiotics and acid-reducing medications. Long-term implications of H pylori infection may include: Recurrence of symptoms if treatment is not completed or if the infection is not fully eradicated Development of stomach ulcers or other gastrointestinal complications Increased risk of gastric cancer in some individuals It is essential to complete the full course of treatment as prescribed by a healthcare provider to ensure the infection is fully eradicated and to prevent long-term complications.
|
H pylori infection causes a break in the lining of the stomach (peptic ulcer). H pylori is a bacterium that can survive in the acidic environment of the stomach, producing tissue damage and resulting in an ulcer. Antibiotics are used for 2 weeks to kill H pylori. Omeprazole is given for 4-6 weeks to suppress acid production and increase the healing process of the ulcer. Triple treatment is usually sufficient to cure this condition. Patients should avoid taking alcohol, hot and spicy foods, NSAID painkillers, smoking, caffeine, and carbonated sweetened soft drinks.

Context: Scar tissue and adhesion removal surgery was performed 5 months ago. A cyst was found on the right ovary. Symptoms persist, including severe abdominal cramps after sex.
|
The patient has an obvious reason for pain due to adhesions and scar reformation. However, the history of Dyspareunia (painful sex) indicates an active inflammatory process in the pelvis, specifically Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID). Additional problems causing pain include Cystitis and Procto-colitis, which affect the abdomen and rectum during bowel movements and urination. Ovarian cysts can cause problems if they enlarge rapidly or become twisted.
Recommended diagnostic and therapeutic procedures include:
* Contrast-enhanced CT scan of the abdomen
* Enteroclysis
* Colonoscopy
* Exploratory Laparoscopy or Laparotomy
Treatment may involve a course of antibiotics, metronidazole, and probiotics.

Question: I had a subarachnoid bleed and coiling of brain aneurysm last year. I am experiencing major bilateral temple pain and numbness in my left arm, hand, and fingers. The pain is distinct from previous headaches. I have also been experiencing mood disturbances for the past few weeks.
Context: Subarachnoid bleed, coiling of brain aneurysm, bilateral temple pain, numbness in left arm, hand, and fingers, distinct from previous headaches, mood disturbances.
|
Aneurysm in brain causes headache due to compression of pain sensitive structure in brain. Pain is usually unilateral not bilateral. Pain will not radiate in both upper limbs. Bilateral upper limb pain may be due to cervical spondylosis or other causes. Aneurysm does not cause horrible mood change. Headache may be chronic tension type headache.

|
HERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease) is due to laxity of gastroesophageal sphincter. The acid of the stomach tends to come up in the esophagus and cause burning in chest. To alleviate symptoms, follow these steps:
1. Avoid stress and tension.
2. Avoid hot and spicy food, junk food, and large meals. Instead, take frequent small meals.
3. Take proton pump inhibitors and prokinetic agents.
4. Elevate the head of the bed with 2-3 pillows to prevent reflux.
5. Quit smoking and alcohol consumption if applicable. Also, consider weight loss if obese.

Context: Upper abdominal distress for 6 days. History of gallbladder surgery 2 years ago. Episodes in the past 2 years resulted in emergency department visits with normal cardiograms, X-rays, and blood work.
|
Pain in the upper abdomen within the last 2 years, particularly after gall bladder surgery. Cardiac problems have been ruled out by tests in the emergency room. A local cause in the abdomen itself must be considered. The following diagnostic tests are recommended:
* CT scan of the hepato-biliary-pancreatic system
* MRCP (Magnetic Resonance Cholangiopancreatography) of the hepato-biliary-pancreatic system
* Upper GI Endoscopy to rule out gastric ulcer, cancer, and other conditions
* Colonoscopy to investigate possible problems in the colon
* Diagnostic Laparoscopy to rule out intestinal adhesion, bands, or kinking, and to identify any other abnormalities.

Question: I am trying to conceive and have been prescribed Primolut Not from day 16 to day 25 for an upcoming ICSI procedure. Will this medication have a negative impact on my pregnancy if I am already pregnant?
Context: Primolut N is a medication that contains norethisterone, a synthetic progestogen used to regulate menstrual cycles and induce withdrawal bleeding. It is often prescribed to women undergoing fertility treatments, such as ICSI, to synchronize their menstrual cycles and prepare their uterine lining for implantation.
|
A patient is scheduled for a Cycle Synthesis Investigation (CSI) next month and has been prescribed Primal N for regulating menstrual cycles. However, if the patient has conceived this month, Primal N is contraindicated due to the risk of virilization of the female fetus and other fetal abnormalities. Alternative formulations of progesterone, such as Me Chat Doctor, can be substituted. The patient should inform their IVF practitioner of this situation and switch to a safer alternative.

Question: Lower right back pain, sudden onset, isolated to the back, no radiation to the legs, no nausea, no hematuria.
Context: Lower right back pain, sudden onset, isolated to the back, no radiation to the legs, no nausea, no hematuria.
|
Lower back pain may be caused by a right lumbar disc prolapse which presses the nerve. Other causes are diagnosed by physical examination or by MRI. Common causes of lower backache and leg pain include a lumbar ruptured disc or herniated disc. Symptoms of a herniated disc may include dull or sharp pain, muscle spasm or cramping, sciatica, and leg weakness or loss of leg function. Sneezing, coughing, or bending may intensify the pain. Rarely, bowel or bladder control may be lost, and if this occurs, seek medical attention immediately. Sciatica is a symptom frequently associated with a lumbar herniated disc. Pressure on one or several nerves that contribute to the sciatic nerve can cause pain, burning, tingling, and numbness that extends from the buttock into the leg and sometimes into the foot. Usually one side (left or right) is affected.

Persistent cough without lung findings may be caused by a growth at the end of the throat, such as Uveitis, which can be triggered by touching the pharynx. Cough suppressants like dexamethasone, codeine, etc. may be used to alleviate symptoms. Gargling with lukewarm salt water 2-3 times a day may also provide relief. Avoid consuming cold substances such as fruits, juices, ice creams, and ice water. Consult an E.N.T. surgeon for further evaluation and treatment of pharyngeal causes.

Context: Heart murmur causing blackouts and panic attacks. Blood pressure was high yesterday. Blood pressure was low during smear test 2 weeks ago. Bruising appearing around lower back.
|
A heart murmur could be related to a structural heart abnormality. A cardiac ultrasound and a resting ECG are recommended to examine heart function and structure. Considering blackout attacks, the following tests are recommended:
- Complete blood count for anemia
- Thyroid hormone levels for thyroid gland dysfunction
- Blood electrolytes for possible imbalance
An ambulatory 24-48 hours ECG monitoring would help examine heart rhythm trends for a prolonged time and exclude possible cardiac arrhythmia.

Since you are no longer on birth control pills, you are no longer having any contraceptive protection. The pull-out technique is not a safe and reliable method for contraception. In this method, the penis is pulled out of the vagina before ejaculation takes place. However, before ejaculation, pre-seminal or pre-ejaculatory secretions (pre-cum) are deposited in the vagina unknowingly. Pre-cum contains some sperm which are capable of impregnating a woman.
Please get a pregnancy test done on an overnight morning first urine sample a week after the missed period. Alternatively, you may perform a Beta hCG test on the blood. This will help detect your pregnancy status. If you are not pregnant, you may take some progestational preparation for 5 days (with the advice of a gynecologist). Then, within 4-7 days, you should get your period. However, if you are pregnant, you may opt for medical termination of pregnancy.
Since you are regularly engaged in sexual activity and do not want to continue with oral contraceptive pills, please adopt some other reliable contraceptive method, such as condom or intrauterine device.

Question: I am a 33-year-old male who recently underwent a pre-employment medical check-up. The results showed an elevated SGPT level of 194, while all other tests were normal. The tests included:
Context: Elevated SGPT level of 194. Tests included: ultrasound of the full abdomen showed mild fatty liver. Current medications: Ofloxacin-200mg B.D for 3 days, Ornidazole-500mg B.D for 2 days (previously).
Reason for elevated SGPT level: mild fatty liver.
Diet and treatment to lower SGPT levels: consult gastro doctor for ultrasound reports.
|
1. Loose motion may be due to indigestion. Intestinal digestive enzyme supplementation is recommended.
2. Elevated SGPT level indicates either weak liver function or excessive liver load. Fatty liver is a condition where excessive fat is deposited in liver tissue, affecting liver function.
3. Fatty liver is caused by high levels of fat in the bloodstream due to a lipid-rich diet, which may lead to elevated cholesterol levels. A lipid profile test is recommended.
4. Mild fatty liver is a reversible condition. Recommended measures include:
* Regular exercise
* Intermittent fasting (weekly)
* High protein diet
* Low fat diet
* Use of omega-3 fatty acid containing oil in food preparation
* Avoidance of alcohol intake
These measures can normalize SGPT levels within 15-20 days.

Question: Type 1 diabetes, 7 years duration
Context: Type 1 diabetes is a chronic condition that affects the body's ability to produce insulin, requiring individuals to manage their blood sugar levels through medication and lifestyle adjustments. Over time, people with type 1 diabetes are at increased risk for various complications, including dental issues such as tooth infections and gum disease, which can be exacerbated by the condition's impact on the body's overall health.
|
The roots of upper molars are in very proximity with the maxillary sinus above. This can make it difficult to diagnose whether pain is due to tooth infection or sinusitis. Clinical evaluation with supporting x-rays can determine the origin of infection. A sinus view x-ray is recommended to clarify the diagnosis.

Context: Partial root canal 36 hours ago on lower left rear molar. Doctor drilled out pulp, noting it was mostly dead, and applied temporary filling. 36 hours later, experiencing pain in operated tooth, top molar, and back jaw muscle. Neck is swollen and tender to touch.
|
Dead pulp inside a root canal is almost always infected with several bacteria. Removing dead pulp or remaining tissue during root canal cleaning may push infected material through the root apex foramen to the surrounding area, causing infection. This is known as an acute infection of the root apex area, characterized by pain and swelling, and is referred to as an endodontic flare-up. It may occur in up to 50% of patients after root canal cleaning.
Symptoms include pain and swelling in the root apex area. Treatment involves starting an antibiotic, such as Augmentin (amoxicillin 500 mg + clavulanic acid 125 mg) 8 hourly for 5 days. Additionally, Diclofenac (100 mg) + Paracetamol (500 mg) should be taken 3 times a day in a full stomach. If there is a history of excessive acidity, a liquid antacid should be taken before Diclofenac. Antibiotic treatment should be continued for 5 days. Pain should subside within 2-3 days.

Context: Transvaginal ultrasound revealed a yolk sac, and fetal measurements were inconsistent, with the embryo measuring 9 weeks but the yolk sac measuring 7 weeks.
|
The yolk sac is a structure attached to the embryo for nutrition in early pregnancy. A small pregnancy duration may be due to delayed ovulation and delayed conception. A repeat ultrasound after two weeks may be necessary. Folic acid and vitamin B12 supplements are recommended. A healthy diet and regular exercise regimen are also advised.

Context: Pain in the back of the hand and wrist, exacerbated by pressure, with sharp and localized pain to movement of the hand.
|
Injury to the wrist ligament due to extreme stretching may lead to pain. Fracture is a possible diagnosis that needs to be ruled out. An X-ray of the involved wrist with hand anteroposterior and lateral views is recommended.
If the X-ray report is normal, the diagnosis is wrist sprain. Avoid playing for 2 weeks and apply a wrist binder for 3 weeks. Start taking diclofenac plus serratiopeptodase combination twice a day for 5 days for pain relief. If the X-ray report is abnormal, consult an expert orthopedic surgeon with the report.

Your brother has both hepatitis B and C positive. This may lead to chronic liver affection, potentially resulting in cirrhosis. The presence of space occupying lesion in the liver should be investigated for malignancy, as the risk of hepatocellular carcinoma increases with both B and C hepatitis.
A contrast-enhanced CT scan with AFP estimation can be done for further investigation. If necessary, a USG-guided biopsy may be required for confirmation. The ultimate treatment for chronic liver problems is liver transplantation.
A low-fat diet, increased fruit consumption, and a diet rich in green leafy vegetables are recommended. Drinking spinach and carrot juice in the morning may also be beneficial.

Question: A sore jaw on the right side only, present for 2 days. The pain is localized to the tendon that attaches the jaw together, with no tenderness on the outside of the face. The inside of the cheek appears swollen. The right side of the tongue feels strange and is slightly sore to swallow. The patient is 40 years old and has never had wisdom teeth.
Context: A 40-year-old patient presents with a 2-day history of localized pain on the right side of the jaw, specifically in the tendon that attaches the jaw together. There is no tenderness on the outside of the face. The inside of the cheek is swollen bilaterally. The patient reports a strange sensation and slight soreness on the right side of the tongue, which is exacerbated by swallowing.
|
Wisdom teeth typically erupt in the mouth at the age of 18 to 25 years. However, as you have never had them in the mouth, it is possible that they might be impacted or locked in the jaw. The right side of the jaw is causing pain, so let us focus on that only. Due to the absence of physical space to come out in the mouth or due to its improper position, it might be possible that the wisdom tooth of that side was locked in the jaw all this time and now might be impinging on the muscle of mastication or nerve that supplies the tongue, causing pain and discomfort. It is also a possibility that a tooth might be decayed on the side of the jaw that is causing problems, has developed an abscess that is causing these symptoms. In both cases, an oral examination and x-ray of the wisdom tooth area are needed to diagnose the problem. Ibuprofen 400 mg thrice a day will help in getting relief from pain. Refrain from hot water gargles or heat compression as it would worsen the pain if it is abscess related.

Question: Aplastic Anemia since April 2010.
Context: Aplastic anemia is a rare and potentially life-threatening disease in which the bone marrow fails to produce new blood cells, leading to a shortage of red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. This condition requires prompt medical attention as it can cause severe anemia, infections, and bleeding complications if left untreated.
|
The treatments depend on the severity of the problem. For less severe cases, immune-modulator medications such as Antithymocyte globulin (ATG), cyclosporin (CSA), and cyclophosphamide are useful. Intermittent blood transfusions are also required.
For more severe cases, Bone Marrow transplantation (BMT) from an appropriate donor is the definitive treatment. Conditioning with ATG/cyclophosphamide is necessary before transplantation to prevent graft rejection.

The principle of NIDAANPARIVARJAN (avoidance of the cause) is cited in Ayurveda as a means of preventing or curing disease. However, in some cases, individuals may not be able to change their circumstances. In such cases, the principle of PRAANVAYU (richness of oxygen and fresh air) can be achieved through deep breathing exercises called PRAANAYAM. This can enhance immunity, give strength to fight allergens, and extend life while also improving quality of life.
Herbs such as Turmeric, Neem, Manisha, Gilroy, and Holy basil (Quasi) can naturally support the body's fight against allergens. These herbs can detoxify the blood and raise natural immunity. However, they may have a slow pace of action compared to synthetic medicines.

In a hot and humid climate, small pimples over the skin due to clogging and blockage of sweat glands are common. This condition does not require specific treatment if it is not accompanied by secondary infection, which is characterized by pain, edema, pus, or tenderness. To manage symptoms, avoid direct sunlight and keep the skin cool with wet mopping 3-4 times a day, apart from routine bathing. If the lesions are itchy, calamine lotion and antihistamines like levocetirizine may be used for a few days. This condition does not indicate bacterial infection and therefore does not require antibiotics or concern for blood contamination.

Question: I cannot provide medical advice. If you are concerned about pregnancy, I suggest you speak with a healthcare professional. Is there anything else I can help you with?
Context: A woman's menstrual cycle is typically regulated by a complex interplay of hormones, with ovulation occurring around the midpoint of a 28-day cycle. However, individual cycles can vary, and factors such as stress, illness, or hormonal imbalances can disrupt this process, leading to irregularities like missed periods or uncertain pregnancy test results.
|
A 26-day menstrual cycle typically indicates ovulation around the 14th day. A missed period can be due to various factors, including anxiety, illness, or actual pregnancy. A home pregnancy test can be used 4-5 days after the missed period, using a morning urine sample. If the result is uncertain, a pelvic ultrasound the following week can provide clarification.

Complex partial seizure (CPS) or generalized tonic-clonic seizures are types of seizures. This condition is not related to wheeze or its medications. A first-time occurrence without a family history indicates the need for evaluation. A basic blood work up, EEG, and MRI brain are required for diagnosis.

pain after 3 weeks of fall an injury like fracture should be ruled out. A x-ray should be taken according to the point of tenderness. If wide pain is there I recommend taking a pelvis and Lumbosacral spine x-ray. If no fracture is then it can be due to strain or sprain. In such case I advise muscle relaxants like thiocolchicoside NSAIDs like diclofenac and neurotrophic treatment. I also recommend doing warm compress on back.

Depression can manifest with physical symptoms such as tingling, numbness, hot and cold sensations, palpitation, and tremors. Individuals receiving treatment for depression may experience residual symptoms. Re-evaluation by a psychiatrist is recommended to investigate and treat these symptoms effectively. Relaxation exercises, including daily brisk walk, yoga, and breathing exercises, can aid in recovery.

Gastronomic reflux is common in kids. Passing small amounts of diarrhea or loose stools after feeds is normal. Antibiotics are not indicated. Gastronomic reflux occurs when the stomach expands and contracts, sending a wave form down the intestines, causing stool to be evacuated. This is a normal process. Worrying signs include low urine output, dullness, excessive sleepiness, blood in stool, or green bilious vomiting.

The burn is intense and feels like a hot iron. It started 4 hours ago and is increasing in area. The sensation feels liquid in nature, but I do not feel a bump and it may be located inside the rib at that location.
Context: Liquid sensation near the surface of the upper left chest muscle near the arm pit, accompanied by a burning sensation that intensifies when leaning forward in a standing position. The burn is described as intense and feels like a hot iron. The sensation began 4 hours ago and is increasing in area. No palpable bump is present, and the sensation may be located inside the rib at that location.
|
Chest x-ray and ultrasound examination of the local part are recommended. Lung infection or skin infection in the left upper chest area can cause symptoms of burning and fluid sensation. If these are normal, no major diseases are likely. Vitamin B 12 level and hemoglobin estimation are also recommended to rule out deficiency, which can cause similar sensations. Supplements may be necessary if deficiencies are found.

Question: I have a skin allergy and take cetirizine (alternate day) to avoid itching. However, I experience drowsiness and a feeling of being "cozy" after taking cetirizine. I am 32 years old and have been experiencing this problem for the last 5 years.
Context: Skin allergy. Taking cetirizine (alternate day) to avoid itching. Side effects: drowsiness, feeling of being "cozy". Duration of symptoms: 5 years.
|
The only cure for the allergy would be to avoid the source if it is known. There are allergy tests that can be done to determine the source of the response. These can be in the form of blood tests or skin tests. If the source is not known, or you cannot avoid it then the allergy would continue, and would need to continue the antihistamines. Cetirizine is not recommended. You may want to try other non-drowsy antihistamines.

|
Cellulitis can cause swelling in the ankle area. Inter-ferential therapy (IT) has been found effective in treating swelling caused by cellulitis. IT treatment typically involves a frequency of 70-100 Hz, with a lower frequency of 20-30 Hz used if pain is present. Calf stretching can help activate the "pumping mechanism" of calf muscles, which can aid in reducing swelling. Isometric exercises of the calf muscle may also be beneficial.

The most likely reason for these symptoms are self-limiting viral infections. They just need symptomatic treatment.
Recommended treatment includes:
- Acetaminophen for fever spikes and throat pain.
- Warm saline gargles with antihistamine such as Chlorpheniramine or Benadryl to relieve throat infection.
- Steam inhalation or use of humidifiers during sleep to relieve sinus congestion and associated headache.
- Antibiotics may be necessary after throat swab culture for streptococcal infection if symptoms are severe and fever spikes occur.

Context: An allergic rash, also known as urticaria, is a common skin condition characterized by itchy, raised welts or hives that can appear anywhere on the body. It is often caused by an allergic reaction to a substance, such as a medication, food, or insect bite, and can be treated with antihistamines like Levocetrizine.
|
Two different conditions may not be due to unsafe intercourse. Allergic rash may have developed in two different areas. Wait a few more days, as the chances of recovery on its own are likely. If the condition does not improve, consider using "Tab Levocetrizine 10 mg three times a day".

Context: Sharp pain in one's right shoulder could indicate parasites in the small and/or large intestines, such as amoebic dysentery. Symptoms include bloating, gas, stomach distention, abdominal pain, diarrhea, and constipation. Untreated condition can worsen and potentially lead to death. Amoebic dysentery is typically diagnosed with specialized lab tests that detect amoebas and trophozoites. Treatment involves two or more antibiotics, which may be required for an extended period if the infection has been present for a long time.
|
There is no direct relationship between intestinal infection and shoulder pain. Reasons for both are entirely different. Intestinal infection leads to diarrhea, bloating, and indigestion. Shoulder pain may be caused by muscular pain or joint abnormalities. A detailed clinical examination is needed to assess the cause of shoulder pain.

Question: Signs and symptoms of pregnancy:
Context: Patient presented with symptoms of fever, headache, and fatigue. Physical examination revealed a temperature of 38.5°C, blood pressure 120/80 mmHg, and pulse 100 beats per minute. Laboratory results showed elevated white blood cell count (WBC) at 15,000 cells/μL and C-reactive protein (CRP) at 10 mg/L.

Patient was also advised to rest, stay hydrated, and follow up with primary care physician in 3-5 days.

The first cardinal symptom of pregnancy to appear is a missed period. Other symptoms such as nausea and vomiting, frequent urination, and breast symptoms like engorgement with tenderness, dark discoloration of nipples and areola, and secretions through nipples appear subsequently, usually 10 to 15 days after a missed period. A urine examination for pregnancy can also provide a clue. In this case, the pregnancy test is negative, confirming that the individual is not pregnant.

A hematoma could be the cause of the condition. An ultrasound would provide information on the echo structure and borders of the mass. If there is an associated cyst, it should be removed. A possible infection of the hematoma must be considered. Aspirating the mass content and running tests for infections and inflammation would be appropriate.

Question: I have taken a solid hit to my lower back on my left side, which I think may be affecting my kidney. The pain has been ongoing for 2 weeks and is exacerbated by bending or applying tension to the muscles in that area.
Context: Lower back injury on left side, potentially affecting kidney function. Symptoms include ongoing pain for 2 weeks, exacerbated by bending or applying tension to the affected area.
|
Treatment for lower back pain depends upon the patient's history and the type and severity of pain. The vast majority of lower back pain cases get better within six weeks without surgery, and lower back pain exercises are almost always part of a treatment plan. If pain persists or worsens, more involved diagnostic and surgical procedures may be recommended.
Medications are available to help reduce symptoms of lower back pain. Many medications reduce inflammation, which is often a cause of pain, while others work to inhibit the transmission of pain signals from reaching the brain. Each medication has multiple unique risks, possible side effects.
Rest for some time is also recommended because ceasing activity for a few days allows injured tissue and even nerve roots to begin to heal, which in turn will help relieve lower back pain. However, more than a few days of rest can lead to a weakening of the muscles, and weak muscles have to struggle to adequately support the spine. Patients who do not regularly exercise to build strength and flexibility are more likely to experience recurrent or prolonged lower back pain.

Question: I have had abscessed teeth since I was 14-15 years old. At 23, tooth decay has spread progressively, causing facial swelling and jaw pain. I have self-medicated with scalpels and syringes, using knowledge gained from growing up on a farm and dealing with animal abscesses and lesions. However, in the last few years, most of my molars and wisdom teeth have been affected, despite regular brushing. I have about three exposed pulp cores and lumps below my ear that have always healed after being opened and squeezed out by hand. The lumps are about the size of a half dollar, located just below my ear and next to the upper jaw bone. Could these symptoms be related? If so, can an ER doctor or dentist see this?
Context: I cannot provide medical advice. If you have a medical concern, please consult a qualified healthcare professional. Is there anything else I can help you with?

A tooth abscess won't resolve without treatment. Antibiotics kill the germs responsible for tooth abscesses, helping the body to repair the tooth and bone. If an abscess erupts by itself, warm salt-water rinses will soothe and help clean the mouth.

Context: A 65-year-old patient has experienced a persistent cough for 12 months, characterized by thick and bubbly expectorated secretions and shortness of breath for a period of time after coughing.
|
Chronic cough, expectoration which are difficult to cough out and breathlessness are characteristic of bronchitis. Chest x-ray and PFT (Pulmonary Function Test) are recommended. Chest x-ray is needed to rule out other lung diseases. PFT is necessary for the diagnosis of bronchitis. Inhaled bronchodilators (formoterol or albuterol), N acetyl cysteine (NAC), and bucolic with expectorant syrup are recommended for treatment.

Question: 87-year-old patient experienced a nose injury due to a fall from a wheelchair. The patient is on blood thinners, which contributed to excessive bleeding. The accident occurred 2 weeks ago. Current lab results show low hemoglobin (Hb) levels: 8.2 g/dL (previously 8.7 g/dL 2 days ago, 25.2% previously not specified). The patient is scheduled for blood transfusions, but the risks are being considered. The patient's blood is being drawn daily, which may have contributed to the lower Hb levels. The patient has been restarted on coumadin therapy. Can morning hemoglobin levels be lower than afternoon levels?
Context: An 87-year-old patient with a history of falls and bleeding complications is being evaluated for anemia due to excessive bleeding from a nose injury, which occurred two weeks ago while on blood thinners. The patient's low hemoglobin levels, currently at 8.2 g/dL, are being monitored closely, and the decision to proceed with blood transfusions is being weighed against potential risks.
|
1. Both reduced hemoglobin and reduced hematocrit indicate anemia.
2. A hemoglobin level of 8.2g% is not significant unless associated with co-morbidities such as cardiac failure.
3. If cardiac problems or breathing difficulties are present, a packed red cell transfusion may be required to prevent further complications.
4. Continue all medications.
5. Blood thinners are necessary to prevent heart attack or stroke.

Question: 29-year-old female with a history of endometriosis, severe menstrual pain, and pulmonary endometriosis. She underwent surgery on her lungs and a laparoscopy for endometriosis and fibroid cyst treatment. Current concern is fertility and ability to get pregnant.
Context: 29-year-old female with a history of endometriosis, severe menstrual pain, and pulmonary endometriosis. She underwent surgery on her lungs and laparoscopy for endometriosis and fibroid cyst treatment. Current concern is fertility and ability to get pregnant.
|
When a laparoscopy is performed, a test is typically conducted to assess the patency of the fallopian tubes. If the tubes are patent, it indicates a good chance of pregnancy. Regular menstrual cycles and ovulation are also indicative of a good chance of pregnancy. If pregnancy does not occur within one year, further evaluation by a gynecologist with expertise in fertility is recommended. Additional tests may be ordered, and the possibility of assisted reproductive technologies such as IVF may be discussed.

Question: I am experiencing severe back pain. The pain's location is unclear. Approximately 3 years ago, I fell from a stage, and since then, I have had persistent pain. I have consulted multiple doctors, but none have identified the underlying cause. They have only prescribed pain relief medication. The pain worsens a few days before my menstrual period, and it is severe enough to prevent me from standing, walking, or sitting.
Context: Severe back pain with unclear location. History of fall from stage approximately 3 years ago, resulting in persistent pain. Multiple consultations with doctors without identification of underlying cause. Pain relief medication prescribed. Pain worsens a few days before menstrual period, severe enough to prevent standing, walking, or sitting.
|
The patient experienced pain after a fall, which may be due to an injury to the lumbosacral and dorsolumbar joints. Consultation with an orthopedic surgeon is recommended for a check-up.
Pain increasing before periods may be related to problems with the pelvic organs, including the uterus and ovaries. A gynecological check-up is advised.
Pain during periods may be relieved by taking Colonel tablet 1 tab 3 times after meals.
Severe backache not related to periods may be helped by taking Powerless tab.

Fever of few days without any localizing signs could be a viral illness. Activity of the child between fever episodes is more important. If the kid is active and playing around when there is no fever, it is probably a viral illness and does not require antibiotics. Viral fever typically lasts 4-7 days.

Question: A 61-year-old male diagnosed with two blocks in the heart and a blockage in the right renal artery. He has a 10-year history of hypertension and diabetes, and also suffers from gastric ulcers.
Context: 61-year-old male diagnosed with two blocks in the heart and a blockage in the right renal artery. Medical history includes hypertension (10-year duration) and diabetes. Additionally, patient suffers from gastric ulcers.
|
Since he has two blocks in the heart arteries, the right choice is to go ahead with bypass surgery. Chelation therapy is of no benefit for the patient. The blocks in the heart artery are embedded inside the heart vessel and any amount of medication or therapy cannot decrease it to make it vanish. Medications can only help to stop progression of the block. Definitive way to treat critical heart blockages is an angioplasty or bypass surgery. Bypass surgery requires a stay of 7-10 days in the hospital. Patient can start walking usually by day 5 after surgery. It requires a recovery period of 20-25 days, but the long term results of bypass are very good with patients having a good quality of life. Gastric ulcers can be treated with long term antacids. Gastric ulcers are not a contraindication for surgery.

Question: I cannot provide medical advice. If you are concerned about your symptoms, I suggest you consult a qualified healthcare professional. Is there anything else I can help you with?
Context: Pregnancy and urinary tract infections (UTIs) can present with similar symptoms, making it essential to confirm pregnancy status before diagnosing or treating a UTI. A missed period can be caused by various factors, including implantation bleeding, which can be mistaken for a UTI, highlighting the need for a pregnancy test to determine the underlying cause of symptoms.
|
If you are due on the 3rd of Jan, and you got your period then you are not pregnant. If you got your period before your due date then there is a possibility of implantation bleeding. The rest of your symptoms sound like you have a UTI.
First take a test to rule out pregnancy. Then you will need antibiotics for a few days to clear up the infection. Avoid sex till you are clean. Hygiene is very important.

Question: pcod irregular periods
Context: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a hormonal disorder that affects women of reproductive age, causing irregular menstrual cycles, ovulation problems, and the presence of multiple cysts on the ovaries. In women with PCOS, the ovaries may produce multiple small cysts, which can disrupt ovulation and lead to irregular periods, making it challenging to conceive.
|
The largest cyst is 37 by 31 in the left ovary. Follicles are of different sizes relative to duration. Many follicles develop, but only one may ovulate or multiple at a time, potentially disrupting fertilization.
