<s>[INST] hi dr,,Im a mom of 2 years old boy hes a bottle feed since birth and until now hes depending on the formula milk.And about his intake of solid food its very ok especially his snacks and i gave him some yogurt drink regularly.And he can drink 210 ml 6-8 bottle in a day.He s weight is ok and it seems that hes becoming heavier everytime that i carry him i can feel some backpains on my back especially my mother.So my question is that when he will depend on milk??I want him also to eat rice like us.He can eat rice but not too much rice in a meal.He prefer to drink his milk.Thank you [/INST] Hi...1. Too much milk will cause constipation and anemia.2. Only milk will not suffice for all the nutritional requirements of the kid at this age.3.

<s>[INST] Hello doctor, Do hand job and body to body massage have some HIV risk where the lady was not fully naked? Only the top part was naked. [/INST] Hi. No, you will not get HIV because of body massage or hand job, unless, you have an ulcer or cut injury or she should be positive and she should contact your ulcer or cut with her saliva or vaginal secretion or other body secretion.

<s>[INST] Hello. I am very worried about my husband. He is 25 years of age and is suffering from teeth and gum problems. He says that they are just sensitive but I know there is more to it. He has bad breathe, his gums bleed even under the slightest of pressure...due to the pain and bleeding of his gums he doesn't brush his teeth much. I have also observed that for a few of his teeth, under their gums there seems to be a substance growing on them, it looks and feels like metal? I am sure the teeth are rotting but I am not sure. What may he be suffering from and how can we help him? I am worried because he is so young and I know that teeth and gum problems can initiate heart problems... [/INST] Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.The bad breath and the bleeding gums can be because of the gum infection secondary to the deposits over the teeth. The bad breath can be because of the pus discharge secondary to periodontal abscess. You are right, the hard deposits on the inner aspect of the teeth are nothing but the calculus(hard deposits), these deposits makes the gums weak and they will recede, this will expose the dentin on the root surface and cause sensitivity. Nothing to be panic, consult a periodontist and get the teeth cleaned (scaling and root planing). After getting you teeth cleaned, maintain oral hygiene and use mouth wash. Nothing to worry about heart problem, it is not related to that. Consult the dentist and get it treated as early as possible.I hope my answer will help you, take care. </s>

I understand your frustration.You could continue venusia cream in the morning. After using flutivate cream for 3 weeks, use a cream containing .0.25% Tretinoin at bedtime on the neck. Do not use this on other areas like underarms and groins as it can irritate the delicate skin there.You could get retinol peels or yellow peels done by a dermatologist.You should try to lose weight as this is the major contributing factor for the darkness. Be positive and motivated and you will do well.Hope this helps you.Take care. </s>

<s>[INST] At the beginning of December 2013, I began feeling like my stomach was unsettled and bloated. I also had difficulty completely emptying my bowel. Around mid-December, after running a 5K, I had pain in on the right side in my pelvic area which lasted for a week. I also had pain and pressure under my right rib cage. The pain in the pelvic area increased and I had abdominal swelling (a pelvic MRI showed nothing). When the swelling and pain did not subside, I ended up going to the ER in January of 2104 . All they found after a CAT scan was excess abdominal fluid; they said this was possibly from an ovarian cyst that had ruptured. My GI woes continued and I felt like I was emptying too much from my bowels whenever I went in the morning. The stools would often stick to the toilet bowl. I also continued to have incomplete evacuation. This continued on and off for months. In April and May, I had two days where my stomach felt so bloated and full that I had to throw up to relieve the pressure. In May, I ran the Broad Street run and had stomach pain the entire race. All throughout the summer, I still had problems with emptying my bowels and emptying what looked like too much. In August, I took my migraine meds (Immitrex, which always gave me abdominal pain, but I continued to take it as it took away my migraines) one night and went for a 16 mile run the next day. When I finished, I had bad pain under my right ribcage and the pain descended down to my stomach. I ate chili that night and this worsened my pain to the point where I considered going to the ER. This triggered two months of my stomach feeling unsettled and my stools looked like sludge (again, I was emptying too much and still could not completely empty my bowel). After this “GI attack” I lost 7 pounds. I finally went to a GI doctor in October who discovered after doing an endoscopy that I had severe esophogitis (even though I never had any symptoms of GERD—no acid reflux, esophageal burning, etc). There was also a small, benign nodule that had formed under my right rib cage (where I had the pain). After this diagnosis, I changed my diet (I eliminated acidic foods) and my stomach settled down, even though I still had stomach discomfort off and on. I also continued to have pressure under my right rib cage. In December of 2014, I had a hysterectomy (I had multiple issues with my uterus). I recovered well and I felt like my GI tract was “back on track.” I was on a good routine where my system emptied at the same time every day and it was emptying what seemed to be a normal amount and it looked like “healthy” stool. I had also put on the weight I had lost from the previous GI attack. In February of 2015, after reading about the dangers of esophogitis, I decided to take the PPI my doctor prescribed in October of 2014. I then started having acid reflux—burning in my esophagus, burps that were stuck in my throat, etc. So, I returned to my GI doc who then told me to take 60 mg of Dexilant. I did so for a week and 4 days and then I developed severe abdominal pain. I immediately went off of the Dexilant and what ensued was two months of GI hell—I had cramping pain in stomach that was relieved somewhat with taking different laxatives to empty my system. I also was not able to eat most evenings because of the pain in my stomach. As a result, I lost 9 pounds. One doctor said that stopping the acid production in my stomach caused bad bacteria to grow/caused a leaky gut and this seems like a likely theory as different foods that I ate seemed to worsen the pain. Mid April I also ate salmon and asparagus one day and this resulted in awful pain in my stomach in the middle of the night and into the next day. I had to throw up to try and relieve the pain—what came out was full pieces of the asparagus that I had eaten. I had an abdominal MRI to rule out anything going on in my stomach. It came back negative. Now in May, the abdominal pain has stopped, but I have abdominal discomfort most evenings—my stomach feels full and bloated and my gas feels trapped. The pressure is not relieved until I go to the bathroom the next day. I am back to not being able to completely empty my bowels—there seems to always be a little more that I need to strain to get out (what comes out is normally flat and/or thin or a small “nugget” when the “extra” does come out). To rule out anything serious going on with my colon, I had a colonoscopy on May 4; I also had a repeat endoscopy. My colon looked great, but I still have a little scarring on my esophagus. I don’t know if the PPI incident reveals that I may have low stomach acid and not high stomach acidity. Or, did it exacerbate an existing condition with SIBO. Do I have motility issues where food is either moving too quickly or not quickly enough through my system? If so, what creates this problem? Is it possible my gallbladder is not working correctly and breaking down my food even though the abdominal MRI did not show anything? If you are able to lend any insight as to what my going on with my GI track, I would greatly appreciate it! [/INST] Hi,Welcome to health care magic,I have read all your long query and understand the concern.Your main problem is stomach bloating and delayed emptying or fullness in stomach.This all symptoms could be due to dyspepsia, constipation,gastroenteritis,IBS orinflammatory bowel disease,parasitic infestation(giardiasis) etc.You should undergo certain routine blood investigations with urine and stool examination for R/M and ova or ultrasound of abdomen or upper GI scopy if required.Treatment is mainly depend on the underlying cause but symptomatic treatment can be given.You may require antibiotics (quinolones, antiprotozoals or amoxycillin derivatives)and anti helminthic (albendazole) with proton pump inhibitors and prebiotics and probiotics.You must consult your gastroenterologist for detailed medical history and thoroughly clinical examination and get it diagnosed first.Regards, </s>

[/INST] Hi, I think you can take some medicines like clomiphene for the growth of your follicles and track your follicles growth by repeated ultrasound. When follicles reach a size more than 17 to 18 mm, take injection for rupturing the follicles. Be in contact with your husband for 2 to 3 days after injection. Take progesterone for next 2 weeks. Do a urine pregnancy test at home after that. You can try like that for 3 to 6 cycles. If it doesn't work, then you can go for a IUI. Do a HSG test to see the tubal patency before that. </s>

In my opinion, you are mostly having GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease). It is due to laxity of gastroesophageal sphincter. Because of this the acid of the stomach tends to come up in the esophagus and cause the symptoms of gaseous feeling in stomach, burning pain with stomach pain. So better to start following steps for symptomatic relief. 1. Avoid stress and tension. 2. Avoid hot and spicy food. 3. Avoid large meals, instead take frequent small meals. 4. Start proton pump inhibitors. 5. Go for walk after meals. 6. Keep 2-3 pillows under head in the bed to prevent reflux. 7. Avoid smoking and alcohol, if you are having these habits. 8. Loose weight if you are obese. Don't worry, you will be alright. </s>

[/INST] Hello Such type of symptoms like extreme sensitiveness, worry about future and sensitivity to rejection as you take everything personally can occur most likely due to depression especially atypical depression. In atypical depression especially typical features like low mood, loss of interest are not usually seen, instead abnormal features like sensitivity to rejection, irritability, worries etc are seen. I would advise you to consult a Psychiatrist for treatment. Medicines of SSRI and SNRI group are used commonly in such cases. Commonly Fluoxetine, Sertraline etc are used. Cognitive therapy is also equally efficacious.Hope this helps you, thanks </s>

The upper is 100 % fine, which they pulled. The lower they pulled the tooth without removing the root because it was too close to the nerve. I do have some stitching in this area currently on the lower cheek. Noticed a hard lump about 1 inch between my lower jawline and cheek area. Is this normal because of swelling or something else. Currently taking Amoxicillin 500 mg and Ibuprofen 600 mg. Please let me know what this hard lump is, also generally on the lower side where this lump is, remains sore. [/INST] Hello. The lump is mostly a hard swelling which forms postsurgical removal of the wisdom tooth or maybe even by swollen lymph nodes due to infection. It takes a week or two for the swelling to subside. Sometimes, if the root is still inside, the infection may be remaining there causing swelling. Get an X-ray done to find out the exact problem and stronger antibiotics like Augmentin (Amoxicillin and Clavulanic acid) along with a painkiller for a week.

[/INST] it is not normal to have chest pain with 5 minuted of exercise. you should have further investigations to rule out coronary artery disease (e.g.. exericse stress test). if you have high blood pressure it should be treated to prevent an increased risk of heart attack and stroke. you should visit your doctor to assess whether it is safe to exercise before trying again on your own </s>
<s>[INST] I have severe stomac cramps and find it painful to stand up straight.

[/INST] Hi, thank you for posting.I have gone through your query and I understamd your concerns.Your symptoms are caused by peptic ulcer. To treat it you should take proton pump inhibitor medications such as Nexium.You should also avoid spicy foods, acidic foods, alcoholic drinks, carbonated drinks, coffee and milk.But before starting the treatment you must confirm the diagnosis. For the diagnosis you need fibrogastroendoscopy, complete blood count and urine test.All the best.Dr. Behar. </s>
<s>[INST] hi, my brother had been admitted to hospital due to appendicitis and offered surgery straight away.he was asked if he have moved his bowels during post operation assessment and he told the attending doctor that he moved bowels but is quite loose.after more than 24 hours he was discharge as he was up and about.But the problems arise, on the night of his discharge when he developed vomiting of bile fluid and abdominal distention and he complained of feeling bloated.no foods are being retained if he tries to it.what do you think must have happened?was there a fault in his surgery?he is now readmitted and we were told that it maybe is a mechanical obstruction and need to have tube in his nose to drain the fluids in his abdomen.will my brother be in danger? [/INST] Hi ! From the history you have mentioned, it could be just that starting of oral food was early, and so there is persisting paralytic ileus due to which the present problems arose. It may get relieved of its own by conservative management.One perplexing finding is of loose stool post opertively, which usually occurs due to any kind of peritoneal irritation to the colon. I am not sure, but there could be some fluid accumulation due to very many causes resulting in peritonitis which caused the secondary bowel obstruction. The vomiting of bilious fluid points to obstruction of the intestines. The treating surgeon is the best judge and he may go for some investigations like complete blood count, ultrasound abdomen, X ray abdomen in erect posture to exclude pathological processes in the abdomen. If diagnosed as a mechanical obstruction, he may be in need for a relook surgery in the hospital.I wish him an early recovery. </s>

<s>[INST] Hello doctor, I have reason to think that I have been ingesting small amounts of Strychnine over a long period of time. Not enough to kill me. But enough to cause noticeable symptoms. The symptoms resemble tetanus. Extreme jaw muscle tension to the point that I have trouble chewing sometimes, paralyzing neck muscle tension and general stiffness through out all the muscles. Extreme irritability, anxiety and tremors. And extreme trouble breathing as well as dementia-like symptoms. My question is if I have been ingesting small amounts of Strychnine are there any tests that will show it? Will small amounts of Strychnine build up in my hair follicles? Will any signs of it remain in my blood? How long after ingestion will traces still be detectable? And what is the best method of determining whether or not it is, in fact, Strychnine that I have been ingesting? What kind of symptoms can I expect after long term exposure? Are the symptoms likely to continue after I am no longer exposed? And am I likely to recover? [/INST] Hello. What is your age? Since how long have you been ingesting Strychnine? In what form and amount? Though there are one such diagnostic tests available to detect Strychnine poisoning other than typical signs and symptoms like generalized effect of muscles, convulsions, etc. Chemical analysis can be done to reveal the poison. Yes, continuos use of Strychnine can deposit in the body and can be detected many years after death as well, but not in hair follicles but in the spinal cord. Some amount of Strychnine also gets secreted in milk, saliva, sweat, etc. To know whether it is Strychnine apart from test typical signs and symptoms will conform it. Presence in the body and detection of the same would depend largely on the form of poison consumed. The presence of symptoms must be treated with certain drugs. Long term exposure will cause it to accumulate in the body. I hope this helps. </s>
<s>[INST] Hi doctor, My partner pressed my nipples very hard multiple times. It was very rough. My nipples are hurt very badly. I am facing a huge amount of pain in my nipples. Is this a serious issue or just normal? Please answer I am very much tensed. How long will it take to become normal? [/INST] Hi. I can understand your worries and this pain is all natural, due to intimate circumstances observed with your partner. It will resolve soon with time and may take a couple of days to a week for the pain to vanish. But, if it is unbearable, you can take Tablet Acetaminophen or Ibuprofen for pain. It is available over-the-counter. For quick relief, take the cabbage and keep it in a refrigerator. Take one leaf of it and put as a layer inside your bra (on each side). It will soothe your breasts and sore nipples. It will give you relief. You can repeat it as much as you needed. Change the leaf with fresh one taken out of the refrigerator (each time).

<s>[INST] several years ago I had a spontaneous renal rupture and almost died. The results have been bad for me now my body isnt the same, lots of pain ,fatigue on and on ,Is there anywhere that I cant find out why this happened and if it has happened to others are they having the same problems with their bodies? they say I have fibro but it only started during this illness. [/INST] Hi,Thanks for writing in.Spontaneous renal rupture is a rare occurrence. The renal rupture itself might cause blood loss and tiredness. It is important to know if you have any connective tissue disorder which predisposed you to have renal rupture. Our entire body is made of connective tissues and these hold various structures together. When a person has conditions involving connective tissues then there are symptoms of fibromyalgia and rupture of organs like the kidneys.Please discuss with your doctor in detail if you have any condition causing the connective tissues in your body to become weak. Please do not worry. </s>
<s>[INST] I am alergic to dust. I had breathing problems since Nov.2011 after replacing a old cotton bed and did some wall painting. I was under treatment with a chest specialist for alergy and chest infection, and the breathing problem reduced but due to over dose of tablets although i do not have much of a breathing problem I have developed internal fever which is less than 100 F which comes down with paracetamol but is persisting for the past two weeks. I have visited another doctor who has given me antibiotics which I have taken for the past 5 days with no positive results. He says I have to do a PFT and cardiac test. What should I do? Please help. I feel very exhausted with to much of medication. [/INST] Hi, You have taken treatment for allergic breathing problem, and later developed fever.But fever can not be due to side effect of any tablet usually given for allergic breathing problems. I would suggest you to record temperature pattern and then consult doctor. There are many conditions like TB/Malaria where particular temperature rise pattern will be present. Get lung function test [PFT] and imaging too ,to rule out infective foci. As fever is there means , there is infective foci in body. So consult doctor for thorough clinical examination. Take care.

<s>[INST] My husband has mothball breath. Any idea what we can do to prevent this? He is 30 years old and in good health (to our knowledge). I was wondering if dairy foods could cause this since that is the one food he seems to have a reaction to (mild bloating, etc. - doesn't seem to be complete lactose intollerance). He flosses and brushes regularly and we have used several mouthwashes. [/INST] Hello,Gastric disturbances can cause bad breath in some instances. Lactose intolerance is not particularly assocoated with bad breath. Acid reflux can cause an acid feeling in the mouth and change the oral environment. Medications can cause dry mouth. Dehydration and breathing through your mouth can irritate oral tissue. Plaque becomes more difficult to remove. Be sure to brush the tongue as a coating on the tongue can create an odor. Tonsil stones, located in back of the throat, are another possibility. Sinus congestion with post nasal drip can contribute as well.The most likely cause and first area of evaluation should be your oral health. A routine dental exam will rule out active areas of decay, abscess and periodontal conditions that need to be addressed. Evaluation of your oral hygiene and instruction on proper oral care will include an evaluation for bad breath. Some additional basic techniques may be recommended. The most typical cause of persistant bad breath is buildup of bacteria in the mouth. First rule this out. A thorough cleaning is needed and tartar removed. Even with daily home care, there may be tartar undeer the gums if you have not had a recent dental cleaning.Diet and chemicals can contribute to bad breath. Once in the blood stream, with blood traveling to the lungs, your breath can be effected. The smell of garlic, spicy foods and alcoholic can be obvious on the breath of people who have recently consumed these. This type of bad breath is temporary and easily controlled with a diet change. Avoid certain foods if you suspect this to be the cause. Smoking and the body breaking down medications including vitamins may contribute. Make your diet is balanced. Deficiencies or excess viamins and minerals should be avoided. Keep well hydrated for your entire body systems to function properly.Even a dietary change or fasting can cause an unhealthy sweet breath. This can be due to chemicals called ketones being expelled. They are made by the breakdown of fat. Diabetes can be suspected with this symptom and may warrent further evaluation by your physician.A fishy type odor, from the syndrome trimethylaminuria, is possible due to the inability to properly break down trimethylamine which is found in certain foods. There may be a build-up of trimethylamine in the body which can be released in your breath. Urine and blood tests are suggested help to confirm this diagnosis if it is suspected. This may be noticed in sweat and urine as well. This is not a common condition.I thank you for your inquiry and hope you find my suggestions helpful to assist you with an answer and solution. </s>

My yasmin booklet says its fully effective after three days... [/INST] Hi, Effectiveness depends upon which day of your menstrual cycle it is taken. If you have started taking Yasmin on days 1-5 of your period, you will be protected against pregnancy immediately. Since you had an unprotected sex on 4th day after taking pills you seem to be on safer side. However, if you take the pills on the other day of your menstrual cycle, the pills will take at least 7 days to start working so in that case you are at a risk of getting pregnant.

Even if you have deposited precum at the opening of vagina, there is chance of pregnancy to her. If you do not want this pregnancy, please advice her to take Plan B birth control pill within 24 hours, but definitely not later than 72 hours to avoid pregnancy. Alternatively, she can get intrauterine contraceptive device inserted which will prevent pregnancy. This device then can be further continued which will give her on going protection against pregnancy for few years. I hope this helps you.DR. Nishikant Shrotri </s>

You have to keep the dosage of antihistamine and oral steroids adjusted to his weigh at reach at home so that the next time it develops you can immediately give him medicines as this can be dangerous if they appear on the neck, in mouth or inside. This can not be due to hematoma as it could not vanish within a night. </s>

I can understand your situation and problem. By your history and description, possibility of bronchitis is more. Your stomach problems are mostly due to GERD. GERD can cause worsening of bronchitis. So we need to treat GERD and bronchitis both simultaneously. For bronchitis, consult pulmonologist and get done clinical examination of respiratory system, PFT (Pulmonary Function Test). You may need inhaled bronchodilators and inhaled corticosteroid. For GERD, start proton pump inhibitors and prokinetic drugs. Avoid hot and spicy food. Drink plenty of fluids orally. Don't worry, you will be alright. First diagnose yourself and then start appropriate treatment. Hope I have solved your query. Wish you good health. Thanks. </s>

[/INST] Hi,Welcome to HCM,Coming to your question it seems you have two different symptoms First is Chronic Cough for 8 months now and Bubbling sensation in lower Right chest. for chronic cough it would b worthwhile if you gt done High resolution CT Scan (HRCT) of chest because you have been using inhaler and thats not helping you. Secondly bubbling sensation can be cause of Chilladitti syndrome that is usually asymptomatic and that is not any major disease but just anatomical variant and HRCT would help in identifying that also. also if u have allergy and repeated cough and cold then that can also be cause of your prolong cough just get yourself examined by ENT. </s>

<s>[INST] Hi, I have been having chest pains and have had the all clear with a Cardio Angiography procedure, an ultrasound of my heart and blood tests all fine. I seem to be getting a constant warm sensation through my sternum with some shooting pains on occasion on either side of my chest. Mylanta antacid has been tried and I am not sure if that helped at all. Could it be heartburn, an ulcer? What other possible aspects could it be. It does seem to be worse after eating or having a scotch and cola. [/INST] Thanks for your question on HCM. In my opinion you are having GERD ( Gastro Esophageal Reflux Disease ) only. As your pain is getting worse by eating and drinking scotch or cola.It is due to laxity of gastroesophageal sphincter. Because of this the acid of the stomach tends to come up in the esophagus and cause the symptoms. Try to follow these steps for better symptomatic relief. 1. Avoid hot and spicy food. 2. Avoid large meals, instead take frequent small meals. 3. Avoid stress and anxiety. 4. Start proton pump inhibitor. 5. Go for walk after meals. 6. Keep 2 - 3 pillows under head in the bed. 7. Avoid smoking and alcohol. 8. Loose weight if you are obese .Since your cardiac work up is normal, I don't think of any other cause. It is GERD mostly. </s>

[/INST] Asthalin is a bronchodilator and is safe and often essential in persistent cough. Such cough commonly occurs due to viral infection where antibiotics are ineffective and hence he has not recovered yet. You can give asthalin nebulisation at home but you would need a nebuliser device. Alternatively, you can give steam inhalation on one hand and asthalin inhaler through spacer device and the combination will serve the same purpose.It is common for children not to eat well if they are not in proper health.

See Kalarachi Kai choornam is helpful in amenorrhea. As far as small cysts are concerned they are unmatured eggs which failed to induce menstrual cycle previously, as a result, they got collected in the ovary and they will remain in the ovary. Now, you have got your periods you can start trying for conception. But I advise you to do it under the supervision of a nearby gynecologist because egg size is important while conception and that you can know by ovulation study. Ovulation study is performed under the supervision of a gynecologist. For gall stones, surgical intervention is required generally. Medicine is not of much help. </s>

We will be getting an appointment with a nephrologist in the next week or two, but I was concerned about the findings from the ultrasound . The ER doctor said it could be normal, but that makes me feel that it could also be something else. What does mild pelvic fullness is noted in both kidneys without frank hydronephrosis mean? Thanks. [/INST] Hi scruggsm. Your son had acute onset blood in urine.there are so many causes of it but the most common are-Renal stone,ureteric stone,bladder stone,may be stone in the urethra,acute post streptococcal glomerulonephritis and other type of kidney infection,UTI,ingestion of any drug like aspirin,tumor in the kidney,rarely bleeding disorders. But it seems to be from renal stone. Do some investigation like-USG-KUB,Urine for routine,blood for count,urea,creatinine,bleeding and clotting time as early as possible and consult a urosurgeon or a nephrologist for opinion. Mild pelvis fullness is a vague term it can not make any diagnosis but in renal stone mild pelvic fullness is seen.And hydronephrosis means if a stone obstruct renal pelvis outlet then urine can not drain properly and it become swollen that is called hydronephrosis.It is a bad sign as due to back pressure of stored urine kidney function gradually deteriorate.
