<s>[INST] my father is suffering from cancer in food pipe. He was treated for that 6 months back. Now he feels diffiulty to swallo. Now he was advised to undertake 3 sittings of radiation. This is second sitting. This time he complaints of having pain in the throat and is unable to have even liquid food. Will it be alright? His age is 83. [/INST] Hi, dearI have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. Your fathe has esophageal cancer. Treatment depends on stage of cancer. In early stage surgery can be done. In advanced stage surgery is not possible. So radiation is the treatment of choice. His throat pain is due to radiation treatment. Don't worry about that. It is very common to have pain after radiation. So consult your doctor and Continue your treatment. Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health. </s>

Thanks for writing to us. The follicles seen at the beginning of the cycle are likely to be due to polycystic ovaries. At the mid cycle- near 14th day, since there are no follicles, it means there was no ovulation in this cycle. You need to continue with the treatment you are getting for next cycle too. I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you. Regards, Dr. Rakhi Tayal drrakhitayal@gmail.com </s>

If there is any problem with prostate and urethra like a stricture then that must be treated first.It is important to get imaging investigations like ultrasound scan and CT scan of the abdomen to know the origin of hematuria. There might be a stone anywhere from the kidney to urinary bladder causing the hematuria. It can also be caused due to any growth in the urinary tract or bladder. This should be investigated quickly and treated if present.If the underlying condition isn't serious, no treatment is necessary. </s>

<s>[INST] Hello doctor,I am a 65-year-old male who has until recently been playing tennis regularly. I have been on beta blockers for about 15 years, first on 50 mg Atenolol and then on 10 mg Bisoprolol. They lowered my pulse rate to about 60 but then about three years ago I started to get AFib. The episodes of AFib became more frequent and painful so that I needed to use a GTN spray to reduce the pain. It got so that I could not lie down and had to sleep propped up against pillows. The painful episodes would last about three hours and they occurred every couple of days.I gradually reduced the Bisoprolol and stopped them completely after a few weeks. I am currently on Aspirin too. Now my pulse is erratic but I can sleep lying down fine and I am not experiencing the painful bouts of AFib anymore. Should I be looking at taking some other medication or am I just experiencing withdrawal symptoms which will eventually pass? Please provide your opinion. [/INST] Hello. Atrial fibrillation (also called AFib or AF) is a quivering or irregular heartbeat (arrhythmia) that can lead to blood clots, stroke, heart failure and other heart-related complications. Normally, your heart contracts and relaxes to a regular beat. In atrial fibrillation, the upper chambers of the heart (the atria) beat irregularly (quiver) instead of beating effectively to move blood into the ventricles. If a clot breaks off, enters the bloodstream and lodges in an artery leading to the brain, a stroke result. About 15–20 percent of people who have strokes have this heart arrhythmia. This clot risk is why patients with this condition are put on blood thinners. The cornerstones of atrial fibrillation management are rate control and anticoagulation and rhythm control for those symptomatically limited by AF. The clinical decision to use a rhythm-control or rate-control strategy requires an integrated consideration of several factors including a degree of symptoms, likelihood of successful cardioversion, the presence of comorbidities, and candidacy for AF ablation. Ideally, to treat atrial fibrillation, the heart rate and rhythm are reset to normal. Cardioversion can be conducted in two ways: Electrical cardioversion: In this brief procedure, an electrical shock is delivered to your heart through paddles or patches placed on your chest. The shock stops your heart's electrical activity momentarily. When your heart begins again, the hope is that it resumes its normal rhythm. The procedure is performed during sedation, so you should not feel the electric shock. Cardioversion with drugs: This form of cardioversion uses medications called antiarrhythmics to help restore normal sinus rhythm. Depending on your heart condition, your doctor may recommend trying intravenous or oral medications to return your heart to normal rhythm. This is often done in the hospital with continuous monitoring of your heart rate. If your heart rhythm returns to normal, your doctor often will prescribe the same anti-arrhythmic medication or a similar one to try to prevent more spells of atrial fibrillation. After electrical cardioversion, your doctor may prescribe anti-arrhythmic medications to help prevent future episodes of atrial fibrillation. Medications may include Dofetilide, Flecainide, Propafenone, Amiodarone, and Sotalol. Consult your specialist doctor, discuss with him or her and with their consent take the medicines. Consult your cardiologist, get a 2D (two-dimensional) echocardiogram, a 24-hour Holter done and follow the following medicines and procedures. They are not withdrawal symptoms. A full evaluation is required. For more information consult a cardiologist online --> </s>

<s>[INST] I have been to the ER 2 times within the week....I have moderate to severe pain that began on the left mid-abdomen and moved to the right mid-abdomen. Was given antibiotics and pain meds upon 1st visit after blood work and CT showed no abnormalities. Pain continued, with more nauseau, returned to GP who sent me to the ER again. ysUrinalis and abdominal xrays were normal. Again sent home to continue antibiotics and pain meds. Was told "if pain continues for more than 7 days from 2nd visit, return to GP" and also told "sometimes the body hurts, and then heals itself...feel better soon". And am being treating as a diverticulitis attack and told to use the BRAT diet. What should I do next?? This evening my pain level is probably around and 7-8. [/INST] HI.You are already under treatment and investigated taking medicines , I wounder why the CT scan is normal; if it is normal , means there is a problem that is not detectable on CT , X-ray or so. The commonest cause that can be missed are colitis- inflammation of the large bowel as it causes the pain in the areas described by you. This can be a part of the Irritable Bowel Syndrome. Colonoscopy and a therapeutic trial of antispasmodic and anti-anxiety medicines helps . </s>

<s>[INST] Hello doctor, If an individual has genital herpes and performs oral sex on a non-infected person, is it possible for it to still be transmitted? [/INST] Hi. I read your query and understand your concerns. First of all, I would like to inform you that there is definite risk of transmission of HSV if there was direct skin to skin contact such as sex, oral sex, passionate kissing among others. However, the risk is low provided there was no active lesions at the area of contact. But practically speaking people with active genital lesions can have active lesions over the oral mucosa which can shed the virus, which can be transmitted to their partner. I also like to make it clear that itching and burning sensation are very rare before appearance of lesions. It is good idea to get tested for herpes antibodies. </s>

<s>[INST] Hi doctor, My 10 year old daughter had an appendectomy two days back. She was in horrible pain after that. They wished to send her home, but since the pain could not be controlled with Tylenol or Ibuprofen they decided to keep her in hospital. Then the next morning she had bad diarrhea. She went around 10 times in two hours. It concerned me, but they informed me that the diarrhea is normal. Her pain was still pretty bad, so they finally decided to try something stronger that we could take her home. It did work for three hours and they sent her home. By the time we got home, she was in horrible pain. She was crying most of the night until falling asleep. Yesterday, I noticed a lump on her back that was warm to touch and when I touched it she said that lump is the reason for her pain and it hurts her really bad. As I was concerned I called her doctor, but they said that they have no idea what I was talking about and they would like to check her in ER the next day. I know as a parent we over analyze everything. I did not to take her to the ER because of a muscle strain. Also, I do not want to over look something that could make her worse. What could the lump be? Should I be concerned? She still has fever and pain. Please help. [/INST] Hi. For further information consult a paediatric surgeon online --> </s>

<s>[INST] Hello doctor. I just got injured on the little finger of my left hand while playing a cricket match. There is a blood clot and the last segment of my little finger is swollen and slightly purplish. What should I do? I had put my finger in a bowl of ice for about 5 min. [/INST] Hello and welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice. I suppose it is only a minor injury without any fissure or fracture in your distal phalynx, and for the first 48 hours icing will be benefecial. Use NSAIDs like declophen or ibuprufen as an analgesic and to decrease the inflammation, use topical anti inflammatory gels (like voltaren gel). Sometimes if the swelling is extensive, we add an antiedematous drug (alpha chemotrypsin), also elevating the hand or an arm sling or slabs to decrease its mobility. If no progress or the swelling stays ask your physician for an x-ray just to assure your little finger is free of any injuries. Hope the above information helps you. Any further clarifications feel free to ask.Regards,Dr. Ahmed Aly </s>

<s>[INST] Hello, Dr Shehzad Topiwala! My name is Daniel, and I am seeking your professional advice and expertice. I am 21 years old, male, good health, fit, no smoking or excessive alcohol. I am experiencing low testosterone symptoms such as: no sex drive, ED, depressed mood, etc. My sex life is almost non-existent. I am 21 years old, and should not be dealing with problems like these. The blood work done with my doctor, all came back within the normal range, and my doctor tells me everything is like it should be, yet I don’t feel like it is. I have gotten a copy of my results and did some research online. Aberrantly my T-levels at 14,5 nmol/L (around 350-400 converted to ng/dl), are in the same range as an average 80 year old… My testosterone levels are not god for a guy my age, and far from optimal. So I went back to my doctor, but now she tells me my symptoms are caused by depression. I admit feeling depressed, but that is a result of my problems, depression is not causing them. And then she continued to prescribe me some Viagra… I am confident in saying that the symptoms I am experiencing are hormone/testosterone related, not psychological. My testosterone levels are low, but not low enough to get treatment, and thereby no chance to get sent of to an expert on the subject. So I am glad I found your internet service. What am I supposed to do? I cannot live like this, life feels so empty at the moment, and I don’t feel youthful at all… Some of my friends tells me that they can masturbate/have sex 3-4 times a day. Me, I need a two-day recharge time after just one “session”. Below are my results, please take a look at them, what do you think? Free T4      18.9 pmol/L 11.0 - 22.0 FSH 3.9 IE/L 1.0 – 12.0 Cortisol 577 nmol/L LH      9.7 IE/L      1.0 – 10.0 Prolactin 156 mIE/L      100 – 400 SHBG      18 nmol/L      15 – 85 Testosterone 14.5 nmol/L 9.0 – 35.0 TSH      0.66 mIE/L      0.30 – 4.2 Estradiol 0.09 nmol/L 00 – 0.16 Free Testosterone 7.1      3.0 – 14.7 I was hoping your profession on this subject could cast some light on my situation. Do you see anything out of the ordinary when looking at my blood test results? I am noticing elevated LH levels, along with the low testosterone, does this mean there could be something wrong with my testicles/leydig cells ? One guy told me that my pituary maby needed a kickstart. And that my T-levels would increase with the use of a drug like arimidex or clomid. To my understanding, these drugs work by increasing the LH levels, thus increasing testosterone. If my leydig cells where not responding well, trying this would be pointless? If possible, I would ask for a detailed response. Thank you in advance. Best regards Daniel [/INST] Hi, Low testosterone can be treated by hormone replacement therapy and assisted reproduction. Also, hormone affects body processes by regulating the activity of the organs. Estrogen modulator mimics the effect of oestrogen on various tissues, including the breast, bones and reproductive organs. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

<s>[INST] I have had a sinus blockage for years. I do not suspect swollen sinuses or sinusitis because when I lay down the drainage runs to the downward sinus leaving the anterior sinus free and clear. When I turn over, the same thing happens on the other side showing that the upward sinus is unobstructed. Lately my salivary glands have become swollen as well. I visited an ENT and was sen to get an MRI which was not dispositive and turned out to be expensive and useless. At that point the ENT wanted to surgically remove all salivary glands without even having diagnosed the problem or taking a needle biopsy.

You should quickly wash you face to clear off any left over material and consult a physicians who would like to start you on some anti histaminics.

<s>[INST] I have had severe back pain for 20 years, since the traumatic birth of my son. History: My baby was large, over 9lbs the doctor thought he was going to be 15lbs. During labor (with no epidural ) I had a very hard time pushing him out, the nurse put a vacuum on his head (brand new at the time) and then hit the release button on accident and whoop there he went back inside... I pushed him out again... and OMG... the same thing happened... AGAIN! I had to push him out a 3rd time and the Dr finally used old fashioned forceps to get him out... he was born with a fractured collar bone and severe cone head. I noticed my back hurting shortly after delivery... I seen a Dr and went and got an xray around 6months post pardum... they told me they didn t see anything??? Then I gained ALOT of weight... and no Dr would take me seriously, they just chalked my low back pain up to my weight. Current situation: I have just coped and sucked it up... begging my husband to rub my back. 9 years ago I had the gastric bypass , lost weight and realized just how severely my rib cage has become disfigured, left side rib sticks out, right side con-caves in, I have tremendous constant shooting pains down my left hip, down my leg to my ankle , and extreme lower left sided back pain. I had an MRI 3 years ago... and Dr told me he didn t see anything... AGAIN! How can they not find what s wrong with me? I have been noticing everything getting worse, I also now have pain shooting down right hip and leg and my hands will fall asleep on occasion like when sitting at dining table level. My pain is so severe... I am to my end... I don t know what to do... I refuse to take pain meds other than ibuprofen... don t know what do... wish I at least knew WHAT is wrong!!! Nonetheless... here I am 20 years later... having been scared to death of back surgery ruining my life and career in nursing ... I can t cope any longer!!! [/INST] Hello. Thanks for writing to us. Your symptoms are suggestive of a nerve compression at the level of lumbar spine most likely due to a disc disease.

<s>[INST] I am a 59 year old female.

The results from ultrasound showed I have fatty liver infiltration and a Anechoic posterior cyst measuring 3.8x2.9x5 cm all other organs and ducts showed normal. My Doctor is having me follow up with a CT scan to confirm findings.

Thank you so much for your information and time. Marian B [/INST] Hi Mariam,Thanks for writing in.I am particularly unable to comprehend the anechoic posterior cyst mentioned by you. By anechoic, it is taken as a fluid filled cyst. By measurements, 3.8x2.9x5 cm is not a big cyst but not small enough and may be the cause of your pain.A CT scan would be of much more help to characterise the cyst and offer you accurate treatment options.The fatty liver is not a serious finding and needs to be correlated with liver function tests.Take care. </s>

I can understand the plight the child and you must be going through.Your daughter is just 5 years old and hence the causes of pain in the abdomen for the past 2 years can be as follows. The most probable cause of pain in a child -Tummy tonsils- meaning enlargement of the lymph nodes of the abdomen.-Appendicitis- by default this has to be ruled out in every case of pain in -abdomen of a child.-Worms.The best diagnosis is a high resolution ultrasonography. some blood, urine and stool tests.A therapeutic trial with a course of an antibiotic, metronidazole and probiotics under the guidance of a pediatrician / Surgeon always helps to solve the problem and to get a diagnosis.Also given is a dose of medicines active against worms in intestine.I hope a consultation with a Pediatric Surgeon, investigations and a course of an antibiotic and metronidazole should solve the problem.If this is indicative of appendicitis , please go for the surgery of appendectomy. </s>

They are not due to your epilepsy treatment (on the other hand in epileptic patients anxiety or mood disorders are found more often than in the general population).Regarding your questions on Betacap, it is a drug which causes neither weight gain nor mouth dryness, do not fear about that, usually those effects are linked with anti-depressants. It is a drug belonging to the beta blockers class and apart from being used for panic disorder (like in your case) it is also used to treat high blood pressure, so if that is an issue as well it should help.I hope to have been of help. </s>

About your query regarding adenoids, I would like to say these are lymphoid tissue located at the roof of the nasopharynx and as usual, they are meant to protect the body from infections. They are always found in infants and they are at their maximum size at the age of 5 years, after that, they start regressing in size up to 8 years if the nasopharynx is free from infection. On the other hand, if an individual is having recurrent respiratory tract infections in childhood, the adenoids will grow up to a large size. </s>

<s>[INST] Hello doctor,I am trying to conceive but my husband and I did cocaine a week ago. How long should my husband and I wait to safely continue to try to get pregnant? How long until it is out of our system? How long does cocaine stay in sperm? Thanks in advance. [/INST] Hello, Wellcome to iclinq.com. There are few researches/studies on cocaine use by males and its effect on pregnancy. Few suggest that cocaine by itself has limited effects as most of the time it is taken along with other drugs or as a cocktail of alcohol and cigarette (tobacco). So, most of the people take not just cocaine but a combination of drugs. Cocaine narrows blood vessels (vasoconstriction). It can lead to erectile dysfunction. Few studies suggest that it has receptors on testicles and sperm. So, it can degenerate testicular tissues/or sperm quality, transfer from sperm to female egg and can lead to early miscarriage. Cocaine is a very fast acting drug which affects the nervous system and produces short-lived euphoric attitude for 15 minutes to an hour, but causes long-term damage to the body and brain like anxiety, depression, aggression, impairment of logic and critical thinking, heart problem, hypertension and decrease in bone density. Its half-life is an hour. So, it takes about an hour for half of the cocaine consumed to leave the body. But, with long-term use, the drug starts to accumulate in the blood and body tissues allowing certain tests to detect it in the system for an extended period of time. After a single use of cocaine, agents created by its metabolism can be detected in the urine for two to four days, and in chronic users, cocaine can be detected up to 12 days and highly concentrated cocaine can be detected in the urine up to three weeks. It can be detected in the saliva and blood for an average 12-48 hours. In hairs and sweat for an extended period of time, it can be detected. So, after all the above description, I do not know how your husband had cocaine, as a cocktail along with other drugs, or just cocaine? Secondly, how long he has been taking it? For you, have you been on alcohol, cocaine or smoking? If you had taken in the past, better to quit completely. My advice is, try to avoid drugs like cocaine, alcohol, ketamine, and MDMA completely for a couple of months before trying for pregnancy. Because, if the mother has an addiction, it has psychosocial effects on the fetus in addition to the drugs' side effects itself. Best of luck. For more information consult an obstetrician and gynaecologist online --> </s>

I would suggest you to undergo absolute eosinophil count (AEC) which will be raised in the allergic condition.I would suggest you to undergo skin prick test (SPT) for different allergens like pollen, mite,food and dust causing these symptoms and you can identify them and protect yourself from exposing to these allergens. Otherwise you can prefer immunotherapy either with subcutaneous immunotherapy (SCIT) or sublingual immunotherapy (SLIT).For the present symptoms you can take Tab Montek LC which helps to control the symptoms, but it is temporary. You need to avoid these dust allergens to protect yourself from getting these allergy symptoms.Thank you. </s>

I've noticed it before, and just recently went to the dentist and forgot to mention it, but he didn't notice it either. it feels worse today. Is it going to fall out. I have pretty straight teeth its jst the four bottom that aren't. [/INST] Hello,I assume you are concerned with the tongue side of your lower front near the gum tissue? You may have some recession and root exposure. This area can accumulate tartar quickly. This can be sharp or break off, leaving a rough edge. If your entire tooth feels loose or mobile, then I suspect bone loss. You should consider X-rays of this area and a periodontal evaluation. If you just had a routine exam and cleaning, you should contact your dentist and inquire about your periodontal health.if your teeth are sharp and chipping at the biting edge, then you may grind your teeth at night. This stress can damage enamel and the ligament holding the teeth in bone. Teeth can move with pressure. A night guard to protect your teeth is a suggestion. Have you had recent changes in the position of your lower teeth? Both grinding teeth and bone loss can cause this to occur.More details and a clinical exam would be helpful to further evaluate your dental condition. I am glad to answer additional questions. Thank you for your inquiry. </s>

Our family friend suggested me to consume Kalarchikai medicine, powdered mixed with pepper and honey to have it for one mandalam (48 days).

Kindly suggest me what I can do further. I got married before one and a half years and I am much worried about my pregnancy. I have gallstones as well. [/INST] Hello. I just read your query. 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>

<s>[INST] I started the HCG diet about two months ago. I have had idiopathic peripheral neuropathy for 30 years. It has bothered my feet and ankles. Since starting the diet, I have developed numbness in my fingers. That could either be a natural progression of the PN. Could it also be a result of the HCG diet? Thank you. [/INST] Hello, HCG diet is not approved for weight loss unless it was recommended by your doctor. As it contains restrictions in foods, you might suffer a lack of nutrients, plus changes in pH of body fluids. All these changes might affect the already damaged nerves, precipitating neuropathy pain flare-up. So you should stop this diet, and if it was recommended by your doctor, report this to him/her.

<s>[INST] I was on Cymbalta for about a year at 90mg and experiencing severe loss of appetite and nausea, last few weeks. I have been advised to reduce to 60mg a day for a week then 30mg for a week, then stop. I am experiencing severe agitation, crying for no reason, overly sensitive and overall fatigue and just feel horrible and more depressed. Is this normal? [/INST] Greetings !Welcome to the site.Well, no this is not normal as it seems like you are still reeling under the depressive cognition and Cymbalta after 1 year long use has become ineffective owing to increased tolerance/ resistance that your body must have developed against it.So while I support the idea of bringing you off Cymbalta but the weaning strategy can be improved by first bringing you down to 60 mg dose and after 1 week further down to 40 mg dose / day and then after 1 week down to 20 mg / day dose and then after 1 week taking 20 mg dose every alternate day for another week and then stopping the drug completely. This slow tapering of the dose is essential to prevent development of withdrawal syndrome which can further worsen the condition.Also alongside the withdrawal of Cymbalta there is a need to replace it with another anti depressant which can be done by introducing Lexapro ( generic name -- escitalopram ) at dose of 5 mg / day in the morning when you have reduced Cymbalta to 20 mg / day regular dosing. This process of introducing a new drug while discontinuing the older one is called as Cross- titration, kindly discuss about this with your doctor.After 1 week of being on 5 mg dose / day the dose can raised to 10 mg and then after 2 weeks further up the dose to 20 mg /day as per the discretion of your doctor.I am hopeful that such sort of replacement of the current Cymbalta with Lexapro will prove to be useful in bringing you out of the clutches of depression which is present at the moment.I hope this helps.Regards. </s>

The fact that you are having these symptoms (shivering and sweating) close to your menstrual cycle could mean that it is simply related to your period. Before every period, some women experience different symptoms, and the shivering/sweating may just be the symptoms you experience before your period. The fact that your symptoms were much worse with IVF may just be a reflection of the increased hormones incurred throughout IVF. Be positive, and take a pregnancy test ASAP. Good luck! </s>

The cyst in the kidney could just be a coincidental finding. However, seeing your present symptoms, you can go for a review ultrasound scan of your pelvis and abdomen. It seems that the urinary infection of yours is persisting even after taking a course of antibiotic which is an indication for going for a urine culture and sensitivity test. Cholecystitis is a different entity which needs evaluation and treatment separately, and this also could be a reason for your nausea, vomiting and bloated feeling. Please visit your family physician with your urine culture and sensitivity report for a review. Wishing you an early recovery. </s>

<s>[INST] Hi doctor, I was told that there is a 10 percent mild blockage in my heart that can be made to zero by medicine. Is it possible? How long I have to use medicine? And to clear any blockage is there any fruit juices or any remedy that can help? Doing daily exercise will be helpful to reduce blockage. [/INST] Hi. I have reviewed your health query and want to add that it is all relative situation meaning that every patient has a different scenario. Some patients have no issues with cholesterol but some have a family history of raised cholesterol levels. Patients may also have a family history of heart and blood vessel disease. If we control the physical factors, it reduces the risk of heart diseases and blockage issues. Yes, exercise, as you mentioned, is very helpful in keeping the things in balance. Your query about medicines to control the disease depends on what medications are we talking about. There may be a bunch of classes of medications in heart disease. Taking medications is mandatory in your case. If it does not lower the percentage of blockage, it will definitely be helpful in blocking any further derangement. Your cardiologist can discuss the issue better as he is having detailed medical history upfront. Cholesterol can be maintained in normal limits and your cardiac health can be kept in check. Blood pressure medications also help in some patients who have the basic issue of high blood pressure. If someone has the blood vessel disease we can give medications to relieve the spasm of vessels and dilate the blood vessels. Sometimes we raise the blood flow to heart muscles and in this way the blockage to heart vessels is relieved. </s>

<s>[INST] I got robbed and got hit on my face my eyes are fine but i got a swelling around my eyes and my cheeks. I have a swelling on my cheeks and its purple around my eyes. I have been applying Ice pack is there any other suggestion to quicken the process [/INST] Hi..Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..As per your complain it seems that due to hitting over the cheek there has been trauma to the soft tissues leading to inflammation and swelling that occurs due to accumulation of inflammatory exudate that is released from inflamed tissues..The purple appearance is due to rupture of small blood vessels due to trauma and there is spillage of blood into the soft tissues leading to purple appearance..I would suggest you to continue icing the area and also you can take anti inflammatory painkiller like Ibuprofen..You can apply Heparin gel as it help in faster fading of bruise but keep it away from eyes..In case if there is no improvement in the area or there is pain and discomfort, consult a General Physician and get evaluated and he can also get x ray done to check for any bony fractures and treat you accordingly..Hope this information helps..Thanks and regards.Dr.Honey Nandwani Arora. </s>

<s>[INST] My 14 year old son picks his skin around his fingers layer by layer, sometimes till they bleed He also touches his head, stroking his hair at least 3-4 stokes each time. He has recently told me he hums and talks to himself while at school and alone - he seems worried about it and says he is mad. He has not yet hit puberty either and is small for his age say around 12 year old size. [/INST] Hi and welcome to Healthcare Magic. Thanks for your question... With the limited information which you have given, I reckon that some symptoms (such as repeated skin picking, repeated touching, stroking of the hair) may indicative of "compulsive" behaviour. "Compulsions" are repetitive, unwanted acts or rituals or behaviour which the person is aware of doing but is unable to control, thus resulting in distress. Compulsions can exist alone or may often be associated with underlying "obsessions" (which are repetitive, unwanted thoughts, ideas or mental images) as part of a disorder called Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD). You need to elaborate more on his other behaviour, for example, the humming and talking to himself. Such symptoms, in childhood, can be due to a variety of causes (they could even be some kind of obsessive / compulsive symptoms, especially because your son is well aware of them and is distressed by them). What I would strongly advice you to do is to get a consultation with a Child Psychiatrist, who would be able to assess your son in detail and advise the appropriate management plan. Please do not hesitate or delay as it would only be putting your son through more unnecessary suffering and distress. All the best. - Dr. Jonas Sundarakumar Consultant Psychiatrist </s>
