Her family does not like my son and forbids his access to their home. Due to some situations we got to know that she is seeing someone else too. As a result of which, the girl is asking our son to contact the other man to tell him to back off, my son has been threatened. Now we are concerned about his safety. My son has become obsessed over this girl and due to this there has been distance between us. He is not ready to listen to anyone and sometimes acts like a child. We do not know how to handle him now. We are worried because he gets depressed and we are concerned that there are chances he might hurt himself.

Please advise."
},
{
"from": "assistant",
"value": "Hello. The normal ESR and CRP essentially rules out inflammatory conditions. Uric acid levels, if high, can lead to joint pains, not body pains. Based on you height and weight, your body mass index is 37.3. This is considered morbid obesity. People with high BMIs can have issues like obstructive sleep apnea, impaired glucose tolerance and high blood pressure. Obstructive sleep apnea can present with manifestations like chronic fatigue and chronic body pains among others. If you are known to snore, have apneic spells (spells during sleep where your breathing stops for several seconds intermittently), feel fatigued and sleepy during the daytime, have frequent headaches and irritability, ask your doctor to screen you for obstructive sleep apnea. If present, that may explain your chronic body pains. Even if you do not have symptoms of OSA, losing weight can improve your overall health and prevent development of metabolic diseases like diabetes. If you want to lose weight, I suggest cutting down on carbohydrates and consuming healthy fats. This is a low carbohydrate, high and healthy fat diet (otherwise called ketogenic diet)."

I am not able to see with this eye until I forcefully close my right (dedicated) eye. I got operated for ptosis when I was 11, and it got recovered a lot. But, strabismus remains the same, and it affects my life a lot due to the cosmetic reason. I could not get socialized and try to avoid society. I had a lot of consultations with local doctors. Let me share my last meeting and my conclusion. According to my local doctor, my upper lift muscle is dead by birth, and it cannot be restored ever. I have to stop thinking about fixing it. If surgery fixes it, then it will never appear as parallel as the right (dominant eye). Also, now my brain is receiving (single) right eye's image, and after surgery, my brain will receive two images. But, it will be difficult to focus on any of them. He also said that superior rectus muscle or inferior oblique muscle of left eye has stopped working or affected after my eyelid operation or those are dead by birth cause, and there is nothing to pull the eyeball upwards. The eyeball does not move and focus towards upwards and outwards. Also, he mentioned about Brown syndrome. If this is a Brown syndrome, then the left lower eye that is affected, tethered or held down by the tight superior oblique tendon muscle. If this is true, then, in this case, the eye neither moves upward nor inwards towards the nose. But, my left eye moves inwards, but difficulty with moving outwards. Please clarify my doubts"

Amenorrhea can be because of hyperprolactinemia as you are also having breast secretion. Get a serum prolactin and thyroid profile done. Stress is also one of the causes of delayed periods. Just relax and wait for your period. For more information consult an obstetrician and gynaecologist online -->"

"value": "Hi doctor, Recently, my mother is diagnosed with multiple myeloma. She had a fast progression. Within a year, the plasmacytoma has progressed to MGUS which resulted in multiple myeloma with severe bone involvement. She got a heart attack at the onset of multiple myeloma. I know that deletion of 17p and mutations of TP53 are associated with worse prognosis. My mother has not undergone cytogenetic testing. My two sons carry a germline (not somatic) deletion of seven genes on 17p13.2. This deletion does not include TP53, but it includes MYBBP1A which is known to regulate TP53 and deletion. It is implicated in some cancers. If my mother has this deletion, what will be her treatment? She is getting ideal treatment for 17p deletion. She takes Velcade, Revlimid, and Dex with Zometa. Germline mutation makes an autologous transplant less likely to help. Can allogeneic transplantation help her? What does a germline mutation mean?"
},
{
"from": "assistant",
"value": "Hi. The advantage of allogeneic stem cell transplant is that the donor stem cells make their own immune cells. They help to destroy the cancer cells that remain after high-dose treatment. It is called as a graft-versus-cancer effect. Autologous stem cell transplant does not offer the benefits of graft versus tumor (GVL) effect when healthy donor cells attack cancer cells, and they do not carry the risk of transplantation rejection due to graft versus host reaction. They are relatively safe procedures, with low rates of complications and infections compared with allogeneic transplants. Deaths due to the transplant are approximately 2 % to 3 % in patients with newly diagnosed myeloma. In theory, one disadvantage of autologous stem cell transplant is that the transplant can potentially get contaminated with tumor cells when patient stem cells are used. However, recent studies indicate that this is not a significant problem and it is not a significant cause of myeloma relapse."

Your wife is in her first week of pregnancy, so spotting is a common finding due to implantation. Vomiting is also common until 12 weeks. She does not have to worry about it. She can try small frequent meals, baked bread, etc. I recommend an ultrasound at five or six weeks to evaluate the well-being of pregnancy. The symptoms that you prescribe does not mean that it will be a future miscarriage. It is common in every pregnancy. If this pregnancy terminate spontaneously, then after that you have to perform several examinations. But I recommend you to be positive. Ultrasound scan."

But due to some restriction in the country where we live, Plan B or emergency contraceptive pills are not available.

And at what dosage?"

"from": "assistant",
"value": "Hi. How are you doing? Yes, as you have heard, Yasmin can be used as an emergency pill. Even if you have not ejaculated into her, she stands a chance of pregnancy if the pre-seminal fluid, the clear fluid that comes out before semen, which is rich in young healthy sperms, comes in contact with her genitals. As soon as possible, earlier the better, I suggest taking four tablets of Yasmin (combination of Ethinyl Estradiol and Drospirenone) at the time, repeat four more tablets after 12 hours. This being a high dose of hormones, it will suddenly increase the inner lining of the uterus. Then as it is a single dose, the inner lining will fall off. This makes it unfavorable for the possible embryo or baby to settle into the uterus. She will get her periods within 7 to 10 days of the last pill. But do not keep repeating this frequently, it can disturb the hormonal balance and can reduce the effectiveness of the pill. Consult your specialist doctor, discuss with him or her and start taking the medicines after their consent. This is an old method, but it is an effective emergency method. Just do not delay the pills. As time passes by, the effectiveness reduces. Hope I have clarified your query, do write back. All the best.

Any PSA (prostate-specific antigen) more than 4 or abnormal findings on DRE (digital rectal examination) needs evaluation to rule out prostate cancer. None of the non-invasive techniques are sufficiently accurate as a biopsy at present. The closest is an MRI which, if positive, needs to be confirmed by a biopsy, and if negative does not exactly rule out a malignancy, you will need a biopsy nevertheless. Many blood tests are available but those are only if the DRE is normal and will not be applicable in your situation. Hope this was helpful, feel free to revert back with any other questions.

},
{
"from": "assistant",
"value": "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.

Marriage is a relationship which demands most of our compromise, understanding each other, handling each other's fault and try to maintain an equilibrium but at times the equilibrium disturbs and it results into a series of conflicts. One thing leads to other and even small things starts irritating as the dissatisfaction from relationship occurs. Our thoughts start imagining things in extreme. So there remains always a state of unrest at both the sides. The best way to go with it are: Sit together, go to a dinner or a park, make rules of conversation like each one will speak one by one, no interruptions while first one is speaking. Set some rules at home like no shouting or yelling or using bad words. Try to control the response, the biggest problem always remain is we respond too quickly and stop listening and start blaming another one. If you people can, then try to get some marital therapy sessions, they will help you a lot. Plan some holidays, give her small gifts and surprises, give evidence of your love to her."

"from": "assistant",
"value": "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.

"value": "Hi. Rh incompatibility is a mismatch that occurs between the blood of the mother and the blood of the fetus. It happens when the mother is Rh-negative, and the fetus is Rh-positive. When Rh-negative blood is exposed to Rh-positive blood, the Rh-negative blood responds by producing antibodies. It attacks and destroys the Rh-positive blood cells. It leads to problems such as fetal anemia, which can cause a life-threatening condition known as hydrops fetalis, causing internal bleeding, heart and kidney failure, and shock. Rh immunoglobulin prevents the mother's immune system from attacking the baby’s blood. It is entirely safe, and it should be administered for the well being of the baby."

My cardiologist asked me to take a Holter monitor for 24-hours and the reports he gave me last week were normal. He said that everything was normal. He stated that my maximum pulse was 134 (while working hard), minimum 55 (while sleeping) and average 87. He did capture palpitations but said these were normal increases in pulse associated with activity. He stated that my ECG shows Q wave. Though he said, that is not a pathological and I do not have right BBB, (last week) he did, however, referred me for an echocardiogram to reassure me. He also said that it would be very unlikely for it to be abnormal considering everything else normal. I have had lots of ECGs for the last few months and all normal aside from the Q waves. I have also had my troponin levels monitored, and these too were normal. All doctors say that it is due to anxiety. Before four days, I was taken to A and E due to a sudden increase in pulse from 81 to 135. It then settled within 2 minutes, however as it had panicked me I attended A and E. In A and E, they checked my oxygen (99%), BP (153/92 mmHg) and my pulse (118). The ECG showed normal, sinus tachycardia; however, I was concerned over what looked like ST elevation in AVR. When I asked for the second opinion, I was told that it is fine as it was only in one lead in AVR and not an acute heart attack. I then requested a second ECG as my pulse had gone down to 90s. It again showed normal sinus rhythm and no issues and was sent home from A and E. I have since been in a state of worry over my ECG, which I have attached here. I would like to ask you if the ECG show any issues aside from my usual Q waves. Also, my QRS is long on the new ECG and on this day I started a new course of medication called Omeprazole, which can allegedly cause changes to heart rhythm. Could this have caused my long QRS and heart rate spike? I am a non-smoker, do not drink and have no family history of heart disease."
},
{
"from": "assistant",
"value": "Hi. Anxiety and panic are the first possibilities. Sudden onset of palpitations is a very unusual sign of heart attack. None of the investigation and symptoms are compatible with the heart attack. Although there are some ECG changes like Q waves, which can be present, are indicative of heart damage in case of heart attack. But, your echo is normal and so no need to worry at all. There is also T-wave insertion in lead 3 and non-significant elevation in AVR. So, given these changes, I would advise for some stress test like treadmill test or stress thallium, which you did not mention anything about. If you have not undergone it, then you can have it to rule out the possibility of inducible ischemia. The QRS prolonging of such mild degree is not significant, and this much variation may normally occur with different ECG. It is not very common with Omeprazole.

"value": "Hi. From your history, this is a genital infection. This is not the same that occurs before sexual exposure, as that is not yellow or itchy. These two feature makes infection as the source. It is usually seen as a genital or urinary infection in males, which is not always very evident. When there is a trigger like sex, it appears. As you do not have access to medications, I can only suggest you both to have a lot of water to wash away the infections in the bladder as usually both genitals and bladder get infected together. Use Vaginal washes (V Wash or Intiwash) twice a day and after every penetration into the vagina. Your husband also can use the same. These are not chemicals, and so there is no side effect. Both of you should pass urine after sex, as this will wash out infection in the bladder. If you can get some vaginal suppository of antibiotic plus antifungal, then use it for five to seven days vaginal at night. It is cruel to say to a newlywed couple, but if you can postpone penetrative sex for a few days, the problem will be solved or at least use a condom. It will prevent infection transmission. Vaginal infection is transmitted during sex, so partner is the source. Both have to be treated at a time, or else you will get infected the next time of sex. You may have white or yellow or grayish discharge with or without itching, foul smell, pain at beginning of sex due to dryness (as the lubrication will be reduced) and late towards the end, when fully erect penis touches the innermost vagina (due to inflammation of the structures around the uterus) and pain radiating to the back or thighs. Associated to infection, the bowel movement is affected, and also features of gastritis will be present. Bleeding of periods will be thicker, darker, may smell bad and more days with spotting after the periods too. Pain is throbbing even before periods and last after periods over also. Before treatment confirm that you are not pregnant. Consult your doctor, discuss with him or her and you both take the treatment mentioned below with consent. All these should be taken on the same day by both of you. Later you have capsule Doxycycline 100 mg twice a day for one week, Vaginal wash with V-wash or similar cleanser twice a day and vaginal pessary Clingen forte or Candid-CL or Cansoft CL once at night for five nights. Your partner can have a local application of antibiotic and antifungal cream (Candid B or Candiderma or Lobate GM) on the penis twice a day after wash for seven days. Do not have sex till the infection is entirely gone. Do treat it as delay may send the infection inwards and may affect both you and your partner's future fertility. Hope I have clarified your query, do write back if any more questions. All the best."

After healing, it started pink, but now it is whitish and sunken. It is hard to cover with makeup. This happened about three weeks ago. Will this heal back to normal skin color?

But if the wound is depressed as you have described then it means the scar is formed and unfortunately such injuries are sometimes permanent, but still, some do show response to the laser treatments.

And he woulod be afraid of getting humiliated infront of you. So he thinks it is better not to have sex. On management part, first try to relax him, and make him understand that you love him even without sex. Now start working on a treatment. 1. SSRI (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor) antidepressants and Clomipramine. 2. Anesthetic spray on glans penis before sex (only a few studies support it). 3. Weak pelvic floor muscles sometimes contribute to it. Kegel exercises may help strengthen them. Wear a condom as it may desensitize him. Some men find that masturbating a few hours before sex helps them stay in control during intercourse."

},
{
"from": "assistant",
"value": "Hi. Ongoing through your history, you can have PCOD (polycystic ovaries). It is a congenital condition. It is genetical. You can get it from your parents. When you have a sudden gain in weight, the cholesterol is converted into estrogen hormone. When there is fat in the body more than average, it is converted to hormones. FSH (follicle stimulating hormone) stimulates follicle from the ovary. When the follicle is ready to ovulate, the FSH is suppressed by the estrogen hormone from the ovary. When the estrogen hormone comes from fat, the brain becomes confused, and the follicle growth stops at a smaller follicular size, and it will not rupture. On the next scan, you will see these follicles as polycystic ovaries. It is usually associated with obesity, irregular menstrual cycles, absence of periods for a few months and later there can be a heavy period with clots and fleshy masses or spotting on off and off. There can be a thyroid abnormality and prolactin problem indirectly. You will develop an extra pad of fat around the mid-segment of the body, especially in waist, thighs, and breast. There will be an absence of fat below elbows and knees. There will be an excessive hair growth, hair fall, a dark shade over the lower half of the face, acne, oily face, black skin over the back of the neck, inner thighs and undersurface of the breast. You may have a family history of diabetes. Regular ovulation will not occur during this problem, and you cannot get pregnant until it is treated. It increases the chance of early pregnancy abortions. But there is a solution. Your weight has to be weight (kilograms) = height (in centimeters) - 100. When you have a reduction of weight to normal range, then there is no requirement of medicines to get periods or to get pregnant, and pregnancy will be healthy. Avoid eating junk foods, fast foods, and red meat. Reduce taking snacks in between meals. Have a low-calorie diet with high proteins. Do regular exercise (especially for waist and hip area), aerobics, yoga, and brisk walking. Try to reduce two to four kilograms per month. When there is a loss of weight of five kilograms, you can see changes. You will not require medications and the problems during periods will resolve soon without medications. If you want to have regular periods till you reduce weight, you can have birth control pills cyclically from the first day of the periods for three to six cycles. It will regularize your hormones and periods."

As soon as possible, earlier the better, I suggest taking four tablets of Yasmin (combination of Ethinyl Estradiol and Drospirenone) at the time, repeat four more tablets after 12 hours.

This makes it unfavorable for the possible embryo or baby to settle into the uterus. She will get her periods within 7 to 10 days of the last pill. But do not keep repeating this frequently, it can disturb the hormonal balance and can reduce the effectiveness of the pill.

Just do not delay the pills. As time passes by, the effectiveness reduces. Hope I have clarified your query, do write back. All the best.

In your case, where air is seeping in and it is affecting your personal relationship as well, it is suggested that you should opt for a cosmetic gynecology procedure under aesthetic medicine called laser vaginal rejuvenation by thermiva (instrument name- you may search literature if need be), which can help correct the looseness of the vaginal walls circumferentially. Also, after re-evaluation of the results of the procedure after a month, then you can be considered for corrective vaginoplasty with perineoplasty with bilateral vulvoplasty, which would help you regain the aesthetics of the genital area and also your concerns could be addressed. Post-procedure you would be asked to avoid pregnancy for at least two years which would help the wall to repair and strengthen and results can be followed up in subsequent visits. So please meet a cosmetic gynecologist, get assessed and discuss your options in detail. Do not worry, this is correctable."

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.

This is called globus pharyngeus which is little inflammation of the throat. The medications you have taken during infection might have caused dry throat and muscles and membranes are affected due to strain. Anxiety can also cause this feeling as we are swallowing more when we get anxious. I would also suggest seeing for any ulcers in the throat. GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease), gastritis can also cause this feeling. Treatment is to try to destress yourself and relax and take antacids like Gaviscon or Maalox after meals for a few days, if not better, please let us know. If the symptoms increase like you have pain or difficulty in swallowing please see a doctor for a physical examination."

"from": "assistant",
"value": "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.

Throughout the entire relationship, I never had sexual contact with anyone other than him. He got a rash before two months. The GP diagnosed it as shingles. But after seeing the blood reports, he was diagnosed with syphilis. After reading about this condition, I have understood that the stage two symptoms appear after 10 to 90 days of contracting. My partner is persistent that he has not slept with anyone except me. I also understand that syphilis can remain dominant for some time. If he has stage two symptoms, does it mean that he would have contracted it before three months of diagnosis? Is it possible for him to have it before we were together?"
},
{
"from": "assistant",
"value": "Hi. The median incubation period (interval between contracting infection and clinical manifestations) of primary syphilis is 21 days (ranges from 10 to 90 days), and it rarely exceeds six weeks. Once the primary sore appears, it persists for four to six weeks, and then it heals. Usually, six to eight weeks after healing of primary sore, secondary syphilis becomes clinically apparent. Patient experiences skin rash at this stage. The timeline for the development of rash follows this way. When contracting an infection from a sexual partner, it takes 10 to 90 days for development. In median 21 days, primary sores appear on the genital parts. It persists for four to six weeks, and then it heals. After having healing of primary sore after six to eight weeks, a rash of secondary syphilis appears. Usually, it takes two to eight weeks to heal. So generally, it is unlikely to have the rash appearing after many years of contracting the disease from a sexual partner."

If you're having difficulty of breathing, fever, changes in sensorium, numbness or weakness please proceed to the ER.

The results may turn out negative if you have taken your dose and if it is negative we will have to stop the treatment). Regarding dandruff, I suggest to shave your beard. Use anti-dandruff shampoos.

Continue to take baths and maintain good proper hygiene. Please send your CBC (complete blood count) results.

Vaguely aware that there might be concerns about the Naegleria fowleri ameba down here, I panicked and then took some bottled mineral water and tried to rinse my nose with it, thinking that that might be more thoroughly purified and wash away anything from the tap water. However, the bottled water ended up going much further up my nose, and it felt the way it used to feel when getting water up my nose in a swimming pool as a kid. That happened a few days ago. I am worried whether either of these water sources (tap and/or bottled water) could have contained the ameba. I have been having some issues with mucus dripping from the back of my nose into my throat, occasionally mild pressure when I swallow, and for the past couple of days I have had a vague headache all day, but nothing intensely painful (it seems to have diminished somewhat today, though perhaps not fully gone away). I am not sure if I should go to an ER for evaluation, or if I should just wait and see if any more characteristic symptoms develop.

"value": "Hi, Welcome to the icliniq.com. I completely understand that you are feeling a lack of interest in studies and unable to focus on your studies. According to research, there can be various reasons behind the lack of interest in studies and low concentration. 1. It can be due to learning difficulties in children. 2. It can be due to negative past experiences such as having failures, something negative related to study environment or teachers or fellows or due to any other academics related factors. 3. There might be psychological causes behind your lack of interest, avoiding exams and getting affected by past memories. You need to specify your age, level of study and for how long you are experiencing these problems, both academic and emotional issues. You also need psychological assessment of the symptoms you mentioned as feeling something different in body, missing past experiences, getting emotional by watching particular scenes or listening songs. First of all you need a complete psychological assessment by a clinical psychologist. It will include testing related to your academic problems and psychological issues like lack of interest, avoid studying, negative past experiences and unusual sensations in the body. You will get a feedback of your assessment and then you will be better able to understand the reasons of your problem. On the basis of assessment results, your psychologist will recommend an appropriate treatment plan for your academic and emotional problems. Here, I am advising you a relaxation exercise. You can do it before starting your study. Relaxation exercise helps to improve concentration. It also relaxes your mind and body out of stress and problems. Do a relaxation exercise or deep breathing to calm yourself and focus. Sit in a comfortable position and close your eyes. Take a deep breath and focus on the air going in and out. Focus on your muscles from head to toe of your feet and relax every muscle. As your body gets completely relaxed, imagine something positive, watch yourself studying and enjoying the material you are reading or writing. After your necessary adjustments open your eyes. Do this exercise every day. I appreciate you consulted for your problems at initial stage. Do get your assessment done as soon as possible. Delay in the treatment or ignoring your symptoms may increase your problems. Revert back with answers to the above questions to a psychologist counsellor online.--->"

"value": "Hi doctor, I am currently 26 weeks pregnant. I have developed severe itching all over my body, particularly in palms and soles of feet. I initially did not take it serious and kept applying coconut oil, Lacto calamine, etc., to get some relief. However, I did not get any relief from any of these. Then I got my liver function as well as total bile acid test done and result is as follows. AST 199 (normal range up to 32), ALT 234 (normal range up to 55) and total bile acid 52 (normal up to 10). I showed this to my current doctor as well and she said this is common and does not seem to be concerned too much. She prescribed me Atarax 25 mg once in night for 10 days and Lacto calamine for external use. Could you please guide me whether this is a concern and need to be taken care urgently? Or should I continue with what my doctor has prescribed me?"

"value": "Hi. You have raised liver enzymes. This indicates that you have a condition called obstetric cholestasis (bile acid accumulation in blood resulting in constant ithcing during third trimester of pregnancy). It needs proper treatment and you need to get LFT - liver function tests repeatedly for every two to three weeks till it gets controlled. If left untreated, then it can even harm the baby. It can result in many complications like early labor, fetal distress, etc. Please visit your doctor immediately for prescription of Ursodeoxycholic acid. For further doubts consult an obstetrician and gynaecologist online -->"

"value": "Hello doctor, I am 14 weeks pregnant, and I suffer from continuous severe acid reflux, from the past 7 to 8 weeks. I consulted my gynecologist, but she did not give any medicine. Antacids are not effective at all, and I have a feeling of food stuck in my throat and chest. It is very unpleasant and uncomfortable. I have even lost 6 kg within the last month, due to acid reflux and severe food aversion. Should I consult a gastroenterologist? I have tried taking Pentab and Gelusil."

Now, again I have the same problem. What should I do? Is there anything that I can apply as I do not want to get laser treatment again and again? I have enclosed my picture. Please help me."

"from": "assistant",
"value": "Hi. Facial warts occur due to HPV (human papilloma virus) and some people are more susceptible to it due to some complex immunological parameters. They are too notorious to recur and avoid shaving for some time. Also, the probable treatment is electrocautery. Going to the swimming pool will not affect their behavior as you are already infected. But, you should use separate towels to prevent other susceptible person getting infected. For further information consult a dermatologist online -->"
