My 4 year old has had a fever for 3 days, ranging between 99 and 102.9. She complains of a tummy ache and she is coughing. Is lethargic but is more talkative and playful in day 3. She has ate little in the past 3 days, withe the third day the most shes eaten. Takes in some fluid. Complains she doesnt feel well. | You are a doctor. Answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. | Hi... Thank you for consulting in Chat Doctor. It is quite common for it to pain after severe cough. Do not worry. It seems to be a viral illness. Fever of few days without any localizing signs could as well a viral illness. Usually rather than fever, what is more important is the activity of the child, in between 2 fever episodes on the same day. If the kid is active and playing around when there is no fever, it is probably viral illness and it doesn't require antibiotics at all. Once viral fever comes it will there for 4-7 days. So do not worry about duration if the kid is active. Paracetamol can be given in the dose of 15 mg/kg/dose (Maximum ceiling dose 500 mg per dose) every 4-6th hourly that too only if fever is more than 100F. I suggest not using combination medicines for fever, especially with Paracetamol. Regards - |

My girlfriend is running a 111 heart rate. She is a diabetic and has a doctor appointment for the 17th and an appointment with cardio on the 19th.

A couple weeks ago, my cousin was injured in a car accident. Trauma to the head and other injuries. My aunt emailed this morning and said: The Emergency room doctor told us that his heart was beating but his brain was dead and all doctors in the room decided to stop to help him. I have two questions which I m seeking an opinion on: 1. If a brain is dead, can the heart continue to function for a long period of time? In this case, I think it had to be 20 minutes from the time of the accident to the time the ambulance arrived at the ER. 2. Wasn t termination of further medical assistance really up to the next-of-kin? I m just looking for a simple explanation or non-binding opinion. Any assistance on this matter that you could extend to me would be appreciated. I have to go visit my aunt on Tuesday and I d like to have these answers so that I go with some peace of mind before I see her and make her more upset than she already is. Thank you for your time and help. | You are a doctor. Answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. | Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns. If your cousin is diagnosed with brain death (there are examinations that determine it, EEG, cerebral and brain stem reflexes absent, etc.) then his heart can beat for an indefinite time if there is medical support, if no heart will stop soon. The time that human brain resists without oxygen is 3 to 5 minutes, beyond this time (without blood and oxygen) happens brain death and if the diagnosis is correct there is nothing to do to help him. Sorry I have to say this. 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. |

HI I AM TAKING NUCYNTA 100mg ER FOR BACK PAIN.

Ive been getting knee pain for a while in the same leg that i had a tibial nail in some 7 years ago. My quad on that leg has never really come fully back to the size of the other leg. I have an office job, so I m relatively inactive during the day usually, but have had the last 2 weeks off as holiday and have been more active moving some furniture, fixing things around the house, some home improvement and a bit of gardening. This morning I woke IP with a round, painless bruise on my kneecap, near the top inner edge. My knee does grind a little at full extension, but that happens quite a lot anyway. Over the past week, the quad muscle on the affected side has grown and become more responsible, but is still smaller than the other side. The knee is reasonably painful during stress and occasionally hits a big bit of pain when extending under load. | You are a doctor.

hi,sir i feel sever pain in my occipital region,n also heaviness in this region while studying.whats d problem ? | You are a doctor. Answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. | The headache and heaviness aggravated by studying can be due many reasons. Assuming that you are a student, it is unlikely that you have a refractory error (near vision problems are usually seen in middle age). Association with studies almost rules out other causes like sinusitis and migraine. When mind is forced to do what it does not like, it will react in such a way that you have difficulty doing it. Headache, decreased concentration and forgetfulness are some problems commonly seen in students. High expectation from self and others only add to the burden. Following points may help you overcome this problem:1. Take frequent breaks in between study sessions2. Make the Studying process interesting (like group discussion, audiovisual aids etc.)3. Take help for difficult subjects(coaching/tuition)4. Plan well to manage time. Remember, "Failing to plan is planning to fail" |

hello sir well iam a 16 year old girl and ihave been having sex but its only been two days so idoubt iam pregnant yet ihave very strong abdominal pains when iuse the bathroom and ihave been going to the bathroom really frequently yet urinating very little | You are a doctor. Answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. | Hello, your symptoms suggest a lower urinary tract infection (cystitis). Sometimes this infection follows sexual intercourse. If you'd like to confirm or exclude this diagnosis then an urinalysis may show increased number of white blood cells and bacteria in the urine and a urine culture may reveal the offending organism. I could not suggest any treatment because I don't know if you have a history of allergic reactions to certain antibiotics or you history in general and also whether you've taken any antibiotic during the last 3-4 months or not. This information is very important for treatment decisions. I hope I've helped! If you'd like more information, please ask and I'll be glad to answer. Kind Regards! |

Hello- I have been suffering from heavy bleeding, severe cramping, irregular periods, and galactorhea(spell?) I had an ultrasound which reveals a heterogeneous foci in the midline uterus consistent with fibroids 2.2 X 1.7 X 1.9 cm, a Nabothian cyst in the cervical canal measuring 1.5 X 1.6 X 1.1 cm, and a left ovarian cyst with septations and echogenic nonvascular material 3.4 X 1.7 X 1.7cm. My husband and I want to conceive as we have established our careers and are ready for our first child. I am 40 years old. What is your recommended treatment for this? | You are a doctor. Answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. | Hi, Thanks for your query. I read your query and I understand your concerns. The chances of you conceiving naturally with all these problems are very less. You must list an infertility specialist to get evaluated for galactorrhea and get treated.

My creatine level in February 2013 was o.53 with eEGFR Rate of 99. All other baseline tests were normal except for microscopic hematuria. I am 68 now with pseudomonas bacterial UTI that hasn t gone away even with ciprofloxasin. June 2014 creatine level was 0.9. Using same formula as used in 2013, the eEGFR rate is now 66!!! Same lab says Less than 60 indicates chronic renal disease. I know of NO risk factors (drugs, lifestyle, toxins, hospital care) that would make this happen. I look and feel very good.But the UTI isn t going away. Just saw my doctor, cystoscopy scheduled. He was not concerned.Any reason eEFGR could go down so fast??? (I am doing heavy contructioin work in my house.) | You are a doctor. Answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. | Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You should not worry about that. You may have urinary tract infection. Repeated urinary tract infection may be due to diabetes. You should check your blood sugar level.

I received a birth control shot about a month ago because I am sexually active and dont want to become pregnant. The doctor had told me that there would hardly be any blood with periods and the cramps would almost be nonexistent. All of yesterday I had horrible cramps, the blood was a bit darker than usual, and there was what looked like a piece of skin with the blood. This has never happened to me before, and I was wondering what it could be. | You are a doctor. Answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. | Hi. Thanks for asking in Chat Doctor. The main mechanism by which a hormonal injection acts is through suppression of ovulation. An ovulatory cycle are painless and that's why your Chat Doctor. Generally it takes some time for the hormones to act as they are administered externally, and the body takes some time to get adjusted to this hormonal imbalance. So, they may not be effective in preventing the ovulation in the very first month. If the ovulation has occurred already, then hormone injection will not prevent the fertilization but will certainly prevent the implantation. The tissue you saw could have been the expelled fertilized ovum. Also, heavy bleeding and delayed periods are common in the initial few months. If your period had been a little delayed following the hormone shot, then the tissue could be endometrium which is thickened when there is delayed period. If the bleeding persists and if you pass a lot of clots, then you should seek your treating |
infertility problem : my husband having right side vericoceola ,erectile disfunction and low sperm count is 1 millions there any treament or solution for this. | You are a doctor. Answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. | A scrotal support with snug underwear may provide some relief of the pain or discomfort. If pain continues or other symptoms occur, further treatment may be needed. Surgery is the answer to correct a varicocele (varicocelectomy). The surgery is usually done on an outpatient basis. Sometimes sperm count improves after surgery in few patients. For erectile dysfunction regular perineal exercise helps a lot in good number of patients Disclaimer |
Hi I noticed a lump bigger in my right breast than in my left, but I do not know what kind of lump is bad. I am 18 and I know it is very rare for it to mean anything but I have been feeling very sick lately. Sick to my stomach and my neck, back, and all of my joints have been hurting very very bad for the past few days. I have been getting headaches through out the day, and I do not know what is causing this. There is no way I could be pregnant. | You are a doctor. Answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. | Hi.it is best if you consult with a physician, preferably a general or a breast surgeon, for clinical evaluation. Benign breast lesions (such as cysts and fibrotic changes) usually occur when there are hormonal changes (i.e. before during menses, pregnancy, etc.). Breast ultrasound may be initially recommended. If lesions are found, diagnostics and management (medical and/or surgical) will be directed accordingly. Hope this helps. Good day!!~ Chat Doctor. |

Answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. | Hi, If he don't have any other symptoms like severe headache/vomiting/cough/throat pain/neck swelling, we can take this as a viral fever with lymph node enlargement in neck (although it is uncommon in the middle back of neck) causing local inflammation and pain. Try giving him ibuprofen syrup(100 mg/5ml) 7ml three times a day after food. If he is not getting better by then, kindly take him to doctor for further evaluation. Hope I have answered your query.

My son is 15. He has had fever for 6 days. The fever has ranged from none to 104.5, with most days around 102. My doctor says its a virus and to wait it out. He is extremely weak. No symptoms other than weakness and loss of appetite. The doctor has done a flu test, strep test, and blood test which revealed a high blood cell count, but thats all. Advice? | You are a doctor. Answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. | Hi... Thank you for consulting in Chat Doctor. Appetite loss and weakness or malaise is very common in the recovery or convalescence period of viral illness. Fever of few days without any localizing signs could as well a viral illness. Usually rather than fever, what is more important is the activity of the child, in between 2 fever episodes on the same day. If the kid is active when there is no fever, it is probably viral illness only. Once viral fever comes it will there for 4-7 days. So do not worry about duration if the kid is active. Hope my answer was helpful for you. I am happy to help any time. Further clarifications and consultations on Chat Doctor are welcome. If you do not have any clarifications, you can close the discussion and rate the answer. Wish your kid good health. |

Doctor m waorried a lot about clot will it be clear by taking of ChatDoctor injection plz clarify me . | You are a doctor. Answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. | In Chat Doctor will not clear the clot but in Chat Doctor will prevent uterus from contracting and prevent abortion. Ecosprin helps in preventing spontaneous clot formation in blood vessel. Ecosprin is stopped now because as younalready have developed clot that means that you had some minor bleeding so by stopping esprit further bleeding is prevented. Duphaston will also keep the uterus in relaxed state and prevent abortion. Folic acid prevents brain abnormalities in baby (neural tube defects).hence folic acid is given |

Ive been getting serious chest congestion that last up to 7 days too two weeks every now and then. About a year ago I got bad chest congestion that lasted up to two weeks. It got better and I went on with my daily tasks, about 4 months later I got terrible chest congestion again, I got better within two weeks again. So a year later I got chest congestion again, it lasted one week. About a month later (A few days ago) I got bad chest congestion again, it gets to the point where I cant walk Im so out of breath and Im worried that it might be more then just chest congestion, I do have severe allergies. And it gets bad sometimes when the mold is high. Im wondering do you think I might have COPD or any other serious condition?. Im young and I dont smoke. My family doesnt have a history of diseases so Im at a loss. | You are a doctor. Answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. | Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Since you are having severe allergies, possibility of asthma or allergic bronchitis is more likely for your symptoms. So consult pulmonologist and get done clinical examination of respiratory system and PFT (Pulmonary Function Test).PFT will not only diagnose asthma, but it will also tell you about severity of the disease and treatment is based on severity only. You may need inhaled bronchodilators (formoterol or albuterol) and inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) (budesonide or fluticasone). N acetyl cysteine (NAC) is also beneficial to relieve congestion.

Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ? Please type your query here...My baby just had her first round of vaccinations about 48 hrs ago. She was sleepy yesterday but ate very well. Today she was fine in the am but hasnt really eaten in 6-7 hours and has excessive gas. She is crying more too. ??? | You are a doctor. Answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. | Hello, This is called evening colic and is quite common in this age group. This happens when the baby sucks at the breast very fast and in eagerness to Chat Doctor. Unless the air comes out like burping or flatus this discomfort will be there and next time check if the baby is sucking too fast and gulping in air too. You will be more convinced. Usually I don't advice any medicines for this as they give only temporary relief. The two best ways to relieve this distress is:1. Do not put the baby in lying position after feeding till the baby burps out the swallowed air.2. If still crying - put the baby in prone position and keep patting the back gently so that the baby passes off the flatus and gets relieved. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. |

I am just recovering from a 3 week viral infection that caused throat pain, voice hoarseness, sinus congestion, and chest congestion with cough. Just when I think I am finally feeling better, I have developed sharp pain in my right parietal lobe region that only lasts a few seconds but is severe with a lingering soreness. The pain increases with movement. I don t palpate any tenderness over the region other than a small raised bump. I do have a cold blister in my right nares. I am concerned that the cold sore in my nares is related to the parietal lobe pain. Should I have this evaluated? | You are a doctor. Answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. | Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your situation and problem. Possibility of connection between nose problem and parietal lobe pain is very less. But in rare cases, uncontrolled, severe sinusitis can cause meningeal infection and brain damage. But since you are improving in sinusitis, possibility of this is also very low. So no need to worry much. Avoid stress and tension. Take simple painkiller like ibuprofen. Your parietal lobe pain will mostly improve. But if you are still having pain than better to get done CT thorax and CT PNS (paranasal sinuses) to rule out internal brain pathology. Hope I have solved your query. Wish you good health. Thanks. |

I have been on Microgestin 1/20 Fe BC for around a year now. This is the second month in a row I haven t had a period. I have this problem in the past and my doctor said its pretty normal but has changed my BC anyways. Both this month and last I ve had very, very slight spotting for less than a day and then nothing. Is it normal for my BC to pretty much rid me of my period like this? | You are a doctor. Answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. | The longer that you're on birth control pills the more likely it is that you will cease to have a period. It does not mean that the birth control pill is not effective. On the contrary it is working very well. The lining of the womb has become so thin that there is nothing to shed. In other words the progestin has won out over the estrogen. Many women actually like this as a side effect of taking oral contraceptives. You will have to take a stronger estrogen containing pill to avoid the side effect but I don't think there's any medical reason that you need to. |

Hi, i am pregnant for the second time. Unfortunately i miscarried around 20 weeks in June. I should be about 8 weeks pregnant on November 10 but i have had light bleeding. The first occurance was two days ago it was just a light flow that ended basically as soon as it started. I rested until today when i had a lot of walking i needed to do and then i bleed again.

I have chronic urticarial. a few months ago I started an aggressive exercise regimen, running, weights, jumping, etc. I started to experience random tingling sensations in my legs and then I tried a stair master and after that I had a significant attack all over of tingling and pain on the bottoms of my feet (my dr. had diagnosed me with pressure hives/dermatographism 3 years ago. what can I do?

I have occasional perception of weakness in my limbs since the last few years (particularly in the left upper & lower limbs), with a slightly increased frequency over the past few months. I have no problem with gripping or lifting an object etc. as such, just that the left hand feel a little more tired when I lift it as compared to the right. I also get tingling and burning sensation in my palms and feet sometimes and also in certain parts of the body, which are non specific and transient. Of late, I am also experiencing occasional gentle transient pain or a sudden pulse of pain in my limbs (probably along the nerves) , neck and sometimes inside the head too, though, this are non-location specific (meaning, the pain is not in the same spot all the time. eg. sometimes its the right side of the head, sometimes left, sometimes around the cheek bone etc. I am non-diabetic with normal BP and 40 years of age. I have been detected with dyslipidemia some 6-7 years back and since then I am on Atorvastatin 10 mg ( was briefly in 5 mg dose too in between) and have my lipid profile under control. I have also been prescribed with aspirin 75 mg, since the last 4 months. I have consulted neurologist for my problem and my problem, mentioned here, has been attributed to stress / anxiety. Is the diagnosis correct? For the problem, I have been prescribed Tryptomer 10 mg, which I am yet to start, as I read somewhere it is an anit-depressant, has a sedative effect and can be addictive. Hence, I want to avoid it. Is it Ok, if I try and control it with diet, meditation and relaxation excercises? Or, I need to take the medicine to cure myself. Please note that the problem I face is not very acute, but nonetheless when it occurs it makes me nervous about my well being and fate. May kindly advise. | You are a doctor. Answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. | Hi. My opinion is that you might be having a hemiparesis- i.e. weakness on one side of the body. This is usually a sign of an area in your brain that is not getting enough blood supply. With a history of dyslipidemia there is a possibility of a mild stroke or transient ischemic attacks. My advice is to have a brain scan to verify if there is no central lesion in the brain. Hope that helps. |

Hi Doctor, What does hb level 5 indicates in blood . I ve been taking Ferro-f-tab (which contains elemental iron 100 mg & folic acid 350 mg) twice a day for the last two months. Does not seem to be helping me much. are there any MD doctors in Australia who can help? Could increase in dose of these tabs help or some injections or tonic. Thanks. | You are a doctor. Answer the medical questions based on the patient's description. | Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor, Thank you for your query. A Hemoglobin level of 5, indicates anemia. The Ferro-f-tab has been prescribed to correct this. But in clinical practice a hemoglobin level of 5 would require blood transfusion for proper correction. Iron tablets do help, but usually take a long period of time and are mostly prescribed when there is border-line anemia. I suggest you discuss the possibility of a blood transfusion with your medical care provider. I hope I have succeeded in answering your questions, you could write back to us anytime for further clarifications. Best wishes. |
