Hello there , Thanks for writing your query, Extraction of tooth often ends with complications like pain and swelling post extraction . usually it takes 7 to 10 days for the extraction wound to heal and close completely provided if there is no infection . After extraction antibiotic and analgesic coverage is must to prevent infection of the extraction site and to promote healing. i would suggest you to start with a antibiotic and analgesic course consulting your dentist , which helps in subsiding the swelling and relives post extraction pain. follow all the post extraction instructions and rinse the mouth with lukewarm saline or antiseptic mouth rinse. i hope this helps , take care.

+Hello doctor, I have a surgery for rolando fracture tomorrow morning. I am a bit worried about this. I was given meth during a dance festival, day before yesterday evening. I went and got a drug test just to make sure and have been up since then and am hoping I can fall asleep at least a few hours tonight. I had quite a crazy first experience but am very ready to be down and have surgery at 10 AM in the morning. I do not want to take any risk, as it is obviously not worth it. It would have been about 18 hours since the last use of meth. At the time of surgery should I tell anesthesiologists about this? Is it safe to undergo surgery? Please advise. Hi.

Could you please tell me whether 35 mm size can release a egg and could it be still a follicle or just a cyst? FYI - I had a laproscopy in order to puncture my cysts 2 months back... Hi, 35mm follicle might be just be a cyst. But more importantly, if you didn't have cyst in previous scan of this cycle, it might indicate corpus luteum (formed after follicle is ruptured). Considering the second optimistic property you can go ahead with treatment.

I still have the cough, wheezing, tightness but I also had a scope done on my Larynx back in 2011 and I'm a prime candidate for Cancer as the one side is extremely enlarged. My main question is (which I can locate online) what kind of cough is associated with Larynx Cancer? Yes I do smoke but have never had a cough until I had the smoke inhalation. Any explanation of what kind of cough is associated with my previous question would be greatly appreciated. However, if it's not that then the other question would be, how long does it take for smoke inhalation to clear the lungs? I'm having difficulty sleeping as I wake up every 2-4 hours with this dreaded cough. hello dearthanks for query at HCMsymptoms in larynx cancer depends up on area of the larynx involved .larynx divided in to three parts supra glottic, glottic and sub glottic, symptoms vary according to area involved .supra glottic: often silent, hoarsness of voice is late symptom. throat pain, dysphagia and ear pain are common symptoms.glottic : hoarsness of voice is early symptom, also produce stridor.sub glottic cancer: earliest symptom is stridor, hoarseness is late feature.nature of cough may not determine the location.smoke inhalation may take years to clear from lungs and it also has long term complication and adverse side effects.cough during sleep and awakening in your case might be due to bronchitis.your diagnosed with bronchitis so all symptoms might be related to it.if you still have strong suspicion of cancer visit doctor get alrynx examined and radilogical investigation like x ray and ct scan might be helpful in your case.regards

+Hello doctor, My wife is 13 weeks pregnant. Though she takes Doxinate tablet once a day, she still has vomiting. Also, she often gets a stomach pain which eases in five minutes. We have discussed with the gynecologist about these issues and he had suggested a full abdominal ultrasound. In the ultrasound, they found a small sludge in her gall bladder. So, the gynecologist had suggested we consult a surgeon. The surgeon recommended a surgery. If not done, he says the mother, as well as the baby, are at risk. My wife is very depressed after hearing this. He has prescribed Rablet-D and Ursodiol for 10 days. Another issue that she faced is that in the last three days, she felt a mild pain in the lower abdomen. This pain also eases by itself in 30 to 40 minutes. Though we missed discussing this with the gynecologist, the USG report shows that everything is normal. I have attached herewith the latest USG, and blood test reports. Please guide us. Hello.

Any recommendations I am allergic to betnovate ointment..... Is it alrite to use tenovate-m Hello Khangura, It is most likely secondary to procedure and you must ensure you get a patch test to exclude chemical sensitivities. I presume the 'allergy' was also on the legs. If you had a similar reaction to waxing before, then it is even more important to exclude the chemical sensitivities before you go through another waxing procedure. Allergies to steroid creams are possible and this can also be checked when you have the patch test. For the time being, antihistamine tablets such as cetirizine 10mg twice daily or allegra 180mg once daily with Calamine lotion on arms and legs should be enough to control the reaction. I hope this was useful.

Hi.The blood throughout he the bowel movement and the history you have noted , this can be due to ulcerative colitis or IBS with severe colitis. I would recommend you to undergo colonoscopy to see the reason, get a biopsy done and institute appropriate treatment.Get stared on an antibiotic, probiotics, metronidazole and supportive treatment.

+hi i hit my husbands hand with mine playing around and it has been swollen for four days. it has a knot ontop of my hand and is sore. my fingers are badly bruised. it instanly swole up when it happened. do u think its broken should i get an xray? it doesnt hurt to move it just when i touch it. Hello, As you had the injury while hitting, and no pain while movements then it won't be a facture. I don't think any kind of x-ray is needed for now. Do icing to reduce the pain and swelling twice a day. In between do hot water fermentation and move your fingers within the hot water tub. After a week or so you can try pressing the sponge ball slowly to regain the strength. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Regards, Jay Indravadan Patel, Physical Therapist or Physiotherapist

+I have coronary heart disease for many years and have been on statins all that time. Recently my PCP took me off the statins, and now after three months I am having chest, left arm pain. Can being off the statins be enough time for the cholesterol deposits to increase enough to cause this pain? your pain is not because you stopped statins.but it's definitely an important symptom for you to visit your cardiologist and get a check up done.get a ECG done and see if there are any new changes in that as compare to previous one.you might need to go for a TMT as well. Don't ignore your symptoms,specially when already have coronary artery disease.

+hello, im a 18yr old girl and have had blood tests 2 yrs ago saying i had low iron. i took vitamins for a little while. then stopped. I went on a no redmeat diet a few months ago and started getting mouth ulcers. i looked it up and saw low iron is a cause so i stopped. i often get dizzy spells, random nosebleeds. I fall asleep in class even when i get a good nights sleep. is it possible i could be anemic? Hello and welcome to HCM, Inoredr to assess whether you have anemia or not, you need to get certain investigations done- red blood cell counts, hemoglobin, red cell indices and peripheral blood smears examination to know the degree of anemia and type of anemia. Once the type of anemia is known, the cause of anemia can be assessed and thus treatment can be planned. Mouth ulcers usually occur due to deficiency of vitamin B group. Dizziness is a non-specific symptoms and can occur due to a number of causes. Thanks and take care Dr shailja P Wahal

+dear doctor,i have very swollen, red tonsils that are now COVERED in white spots which are now turning yellowish and some grayish-brown. i went to the doctor and they performed the swab and told me it wasnt bacterial so its viral. i know when it comes to viruses your body just needs to stay hydrated and fight it off. my issue is that in the last 5 months ive had painful tonsilitis at least 6 times. I feel my tonsils are doing more harm than good for me, should i get them removed? also what are the best home remedies for this? Hello, Welcome to HCM.I understand your concern.As a home remedy for tonsillitis, you should do gargles with warm salt water or with chlorhexidine & water in 1:3 dilution. They will not treat the viral infection but prevent super-added bacterial infection. You can also take lozenges available OTC. Also take plenty of water and warm liquids. Take paracetamol with ibuprofen for pain relief, fever and inflammation.You can get your tonsils removed if you have recurrent tonsillitis. You have said that you had this problem 6 times in 5 months. Guidelines about tonsillectomy says that it can be done if tonsillitis occurs 7 times or more in a year or 5 times or more per year for 2 years consecutively or 3 times or more per year for 3 years consecutively. So, see whether you fall in these criteria or not. Tonsillectomy can also be done if tonsillitis is severe and affecting day to day life. Consult a good ENT surgeon for the same and decide further.Hope this will be helpful.Do ask if any more question.Thanks for using HCM. Take care.

+my daughter has a recurring cyst on her buttox she is 2 1/2 now the doctors tell us its staff infection an give us antibiotic an a cream it goes away for a while then keeps returning 4 times in the last 8 months she drinks a lot of milk an eats a lot of dairy could this some how be effecting this if not what should I do I ve disinfected our home an we have all been taking bleach baths directed by the doctor Hi Dear,Welcome to HCM.Understanding your concern. As per your query you have recurring cyst in the buttock. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like bacteria or fungus located on the surface of the skin can cause a boil. Boils are quite common and are usually caused by the bacteria Staphylococcus aureus, the most common bacteria found on the skin. When the hair follicle is damaged by a scratch or other break in the skin, the bacteria is able to move deeper into the follicular tissues, causing an infection and resulting in a boil . If cyst is appearing again and again then there must be other underlying problem like low immunity and diabetic condition . I would suggest you to consult dermatologist for proper examination . Doctor may prescribe antibacterial like cephalexin , clindamycin or erythromycin , anti fungal like fluconazole or vitamin supplement to boost immunity . For now apply warm compresses and eat healthy diet . Hope your concern has been resolved.Get Well Soon.Best Wishes,Dr. Harry Maheshwari

+past 3 to 4 weeks i started having sharp pains in my back (but more to the right side), some days it was there, then would be gone the next. As weeks and days went by the pain increased, and was more daily and constant, it also starting radiating up below my right scapula, and around my right side, to my front below the right side of my ribs. I had blood tests done and an ultrasound - abdomin (upper). The doctor thinks I have shingles, but I have no rash, and the ultrasound showed an enlarged liver. my pain in now both front and back, and increases with most any movement I do (standing, walking, bending, twisting..etc). the pain is less, and more of a dull pain when laying down. my doctor gave me norco for the pain, but wants me to take acyclovir for shingles, but this medication caused my mom to have kidney failure about 3 months ago, and I'm affraid to take, since the ultrasound also shows I have an enlarged kidney to. Could the enlarged liver cause pain, by putting pressure under my rib cage, causing back and front pain when making movements. (when moving the pain is about a 7 to 9) 10 being the worst, and about a 5-6 when laying down. I heard there is a blood test for shingles, but alot of my problem, is I have no insurance or income to take a lot of test or get treatment. I feel the problem is more with my liver. I am obese, but have lost about 30 lbs since the pain started. I was at 416, and now at 386, but without dieting, with the abdominal pain, I'm just not hungry that much any more, sorry for typing so much... Organ involvement such as kidney or liver is much less likely to be the cause of this type of back pain. And low cost blood tests can rule out dysfunction of these organs. It sounds more muscular in origin. A course of physical therapy would help greatly. Or even local muscle trigger point injections by the doctor. Topical ice and heat are things that you can do yourself.

+Hi, i recently found out that I had Kidney cancer and had my right kidney removed. I am a 45 years old female and don t smoke, don t drink, and I am vegan. I have always been very healthy, active and have a positive attitude. I am 5 6 and weigh 135, so I am not overweight. There is no history of kidney cancer in my family and it is not genetic. Is it possible to get kidney cancer from exposure to asbestos without having lung cancer. (or just lung problems) too? It is unlikely that asbestos exposure is responsible for an important increase in kidney cancer risk however high asbestos exposure might entail a small increase in risk for kidney cancer.RegardsDR DE

Also can the pill make you late, because i am a week late and am a very paranoid person and Im freaking out although my friends say I shouldnt be ! Hi dear without ejaculation inside there are no chances of getting pregnant also you have taken I pill so no need to worry..if you missed your periods by 2 weeks then do the urinary pregnancy test,blood hCG levels and USG for final confirmation..that's my advise as more anxious you be it will late the periods..anxiety is one of the cause of delayed periods..stay strong and be relax..regards Dr.Sohil Takodara
