I have a dry cough for the past 2 months which my doc says could be an allergy (hay fever).  I have taken antibiotics for 5 days, the cough has not gone.  I now take Zertec every day some times twice a day and it seems to give me relief.  However what I am concerned about is that since the cough I keep getting a sudden ache run down the back of my head which occurs atleast twice a day.  Is there reason to be concerned.

Im 26 years old and have been having extreme back pain.At one point I could barey move. I went to the emergency room and they gave me vicodin and valium as well as ibuprofin. None of this helped. My pain levels have been the same. I went to a back doctor and he told me it was probably a herniated disc. He prescribed physical therapy and some pain killers. These meds still arent working and I am not getting sleep. The Valium puts me to sleep initially but I wake up in the middle of the night from the pain. I am in constant pain especially when sitting at my desk or in the car. Walking not so much. Today I was massaging my back when I noticed a firm knot about to fingers width wide on the lower right side of my back near where my dimples are. This is also around the area that hurts the most when I move or reach for something..Does anyone know what this could be? Any help is greatly appreciated because I am in alot of pain and the meds only make me sleep or feel high with no help on the pain.


Im 23 years old and my bottom set of teeth seem to be rotting around the gumline and I m not sure if I have calculus. Today I had one tooth rott off at the bottom around the gumline.

I need to find a Dentist in my area that will help me out because my health plan doesn t cover dental and honestly I m living paycheck to paycheck as it is but willing to make payments. In the meantime though I m afraid to eat because I don t want anything stuck in there where it rotted.

The symptoms are runny nose, irritation in nose, sneezing etc. I take Levocetirizine which usually helps but some times it does not stop runny nose.Than I use Sinerest the combination contains Phenylephrine + Caffeine + Chlorpheniramine Maleate + Paracetamol . This relieves the problem. My question is - instead of this combination taking only Phenylephrine should be sufficient ? If yes is there any preparation that contains only Phenylephrine ? Thanks in advance.

I have been ill for 6 weeks and my GP suspected pneumonia and I was put on antibiotics.  The third one has almost cleared the infection.  However, I had an X-ray and it apparently showed nothing at all, although all my symptoms were in line with pneumonia and my GP had definitely heard a lot of crackles in the left lung.  Is it possible that I had pneumonia if the Xray was clear?

Hi, I have had a dull pain under my lower right rib cage. It hurts mostly when I press on it and sometimes if I walk for a long time, sit or stand. In the past I have had troubles with constipation so I thought it may be because of that but when I took my laxatives the pain just stayed there. It has been here for 3 days but it is not getting worse, I do not feel nauseas nor do I have a fever, I am a bit scared to go to the doctor because I dont want them to tell me I just have a bad stomach ache or constipation again. Could my appendix be acting up? What do you guys think is wrong and what should I do. On a scale of 1-10 is about a 2 or 3.Help me please?

My mother is 81 years old. Coming up on 4 weeks ago, she had was taken to the ER. She was in heart failure, having a heart attack and stroke. Her stroke presented with double vision. She was transferred to OSF Peoria. The next day they did a heart cath and she went into a major stroke with an 8mm blood clot in the right side of the main artery going to her brain. The Dr. had to stop the cath because of almost complete blockage of all main arteries, the aorta and cartoids. He said she also had calcification in her veins. She has 18% heart function. They were able to reverse the major stroke but she is suffering from the first one that she had prior to transfer. What is her prognosis? We aren t getting straight answers yet....thanks!

My husband has two bulging disc in his ne k,C3 & C4. He cant move his head, has headaches and the pain is in his arm now. He was sent to a Neurosurgeon who thought it wasnt bad enough for surgery. Now his balance is off, vomits daily, has bad headaches. He hears low and loud buzzing sounds in his head. I had to stop the Christmas tree lights from flickering cuz he couldnt look at it. He was sent to a E.N.T. doctor, who ran a lot of test. He thought he may have Menieres Disease, but needed to look at his MRI scan to be sure. Do you think this is all related to his bulging disc? He stays in bed because of his neck pain is in so bad. He doesnt want to live the rest of his life like this and lm afraid he may do something. He is 54 years old, 6feet and weighs 183 pounds. He hardly eats at all and is loosing weight. Please help!!  Im sorry l dont have the money for your answer so l will have to cancel this. We are both on disability!!


I served in the US Marines during operation desert storm and returned with a leg rash that looks like small pimples that are recurring.  If popped, they take about a month to heal.  They are about 1mm in diameter and will produce a small elongated white mass when squeezed.  The discharge is solid about 3/4mm long and .25mm in diameter and tapered to a point on 1 end.  3/4 of the way down its length, is a small protrusion.  Whats odd to me is all of the discharges are identical.

Hi there,Every morning I wake up sneezing, get a runny nose and itchy ears. Occasionally my eyes itch too.

Might it be linked to increased allergies and how do I prevent it? Thank you

My son(Bendtley) is 2 years old, he has been having a very rough time going to sleep at nap time and bed time. He has been extremely tired/unbearable lately, and it makes it hard to have a babysitter since he will not listen to them either. Bendtley has not listened to me, or anybody in about 3 weeks now, and he has done nothing but screamed anytime I have tried to discipline him. We live in an apartment and I am worried that the neighbors are going to think I am beating my child, when that is not the case at all. I am at a loss and don t know what to do or how to make him stop this. I understand terrible twos and I have helped raised multiple toddlers, but I have never seen a child act like this constantly. He is rarely happy and I don t know what to do.

Ive had a tight chest for about a week now. It feels as if its hard to get a deep breath at times. What could this be? Chest xray came back normal. Dr ordered blood tests, thyroid etc. I was told by a dr at Urgent Care that he thought it was anxiety. I dont feel its anxiety as this has been going on for a week now and it happens even when Im not stressed about anything. The first day it started my chest was really tight, I felt dizzy, sweaty and had the chills. Everyday after that is just tight chest, hard time getting a good breath and occasionally feeling weird...perhaps dizzy or light headed. What could this be? Im 27 and take good care of myself. Im not overweight and I run 3 times a week.

I am a 68 year old male. I have been taking Diavon for several years for blood pressure. My PSA every year for several years has been 2.4. This test has been done every year. The DRE and urine has been negative. These two test are done every 6 months. This month  the urine and DRE was negative but the PSA was at 7.6 I had hip surgery 2 years ago and things didnot go well during the surgery. In short I lost and received 5 pints of blood.

I fell on ice on February 2 and fractured my sacrum at S4-5. I have since developed perineal pain, rectal pain, sacral pain and severe rectal pressure. This occurred at work and I am seeing workmens comp docs and one of them is sending me to a spinal specialist. I am an RN and my question is, what can I expect at the spinal specialist doctor visit? I know this is a broad question but I am very frightened by it all and of course, know a little more than your average patient. Any questions, ideas or how to approach all of this moving forward would be appreciated. I was an OB nurse for 26 years and this reminds me of pudendal type pain, though I have never had children. I have never had this pain before and am very concerned. Thank you for any advice you can give me.

My two year old son has a discharge from his right ear. From where I can see, the edges of the ear canal are covered in a very hard crusty like substance that is stuck to the sides of the canal. I ve picked it off and with the help of a q-tip.. Also, when I finish cleaning that ear with a q-tip, I ve noticed the q-tip has a very watery cream colored wax. He had tubes when he was about 10 months old. Should I be concerned?


my son is 16 and his tongue is large and does not look normal. I have been trying to look up sublingual papilla, that is the part of his mouth that lis huge. He looks like a bull frog. He says it does not hurt. I have to wait to see the doctor and I am getting nervous.


I am 17 years old, and i have found something on my left breast. It is on the bottom outer side of my breast and it feels like silly putty is in my breast, but it is more hard than play dough like. If i put my hand on it and move around my hand the \"thinig\" feels like a pulled tendon or something of that matter... I Just noticed it yesterday, and it feels like a pretty good size to me. It does hurt to move it or if something just hit ist. Should i be worried?


last nite my heart rate shot up to 97 my bp went up to 159 over 109 I have had a valve replacement and stents put in my heart. I know I was in a full blowin panic attack after it got started but up till now ive been able to keep them at bay with thearpy. after awhile maybe 30 minutes things returned to near normal except for bp. I take meds for arithmias and high blood pressure. I was just watching tv but had a day full of hard work physical type. why did things hit so fast this time?


Hi my son has a swollen lymph node in his groin, first measured around 8cm s, the doctor put him on a broad spectrum anti-biotic and it has now reduced to 3cm s. He has had the lump for 3 weeks and it is very hard. He had other symptoms with it, headaches, nausea, could not eat and has lost quite a bit of weight, which could be the result of him not being able to eat. He has all over body skin itching but only for a day or so. The Dr looked over his whold body for any sign of insect bite or infected scratch but found nothing. The lump was painful to start with but is not any more. He is feeling much better after this course of anti-biotic, had an ultrasound yesterday and should get the result in 7 days. Of course my concern is that this may be lymphoma. My question is that is it a good sign that the node is reducing or does that not necessarily mean it couldn t be cancerous. I would be grateful for your advice. Thank you

Ive been on Jolessa for over 2 years and for the first time last week I started bleeding excessively, half way through my 3 month pack. At first I continued taking the pill, noticing it would not stop, I stopped taking the pills. But it still has not slowed down at all, I am still going through many heavy pads a day. I have not had any pain or cramps. So I am just worrying since this is the first time this has ever happened and I have been on the pill for over 5 years.

Hi, I have been suffering for the past 7 months with chronic dizziness, light headedness, headaches and occasional migraines, palpitations and chest pains. I have seen my GP who had referred me to a cardiologist, neurologist and ENT. My Dr first referred me to a cardiologist after she couldn t find the cause for my dizziness to have a 24hr holter monitor the results came back as a First Degree AV Block but no further action was taken regarding this. They later done an ECO, Stress ECO, Brain MRI, Brain CT and they all came back clear. My cardiologist wasn t satisfied so he referred me to another Cardiologist interstate in Queensland for a Transcranial Doppler. My results where positive Grade 5 so 2 weeks later they attempted a PFO Closure which was unsuccessful, they could not locate the hole. After surgery they told me it was the first time this had happened to them and they were unsure of why they couldn t find the hole or a reason for the test to be positive at a Grade 5 level and he told me to see a ENT. The ENT i seen done a hearing test, allergy test and another test where they squirt water in your ear. All results come back normal except they discovered a dust might allergy. They later done food allergies and blood tests to check for other virus the results came back with no food allergies but a positive to Epstein Barr Virus. The ENT told me and made me believe it was a rare viral infection from the middle east that could be fixed with vitamins and B12 injections. I went home done some research and discovered over 95% of the population has it, i went and seen my GP the next day to discuss my results which she had sent to her to discover i do not have a current infection and the ENT had lied. I had a slight B12 deficiency so my GP gave me the injections anyway and she also gave me a dose of steroids in case it was Vestibular Neuritis but unfortunately they didn t work. My GP has referred me back to another Cardiologist in Sydney this time my appointment is in 7 weeks. I am not confident any more about My current Dr situation, It seems like i am just going around in circles and i am getting no answers. I have just turned 21 i should be working and having fun but instead i have had to put my life on hold. I can no longer drive or work. Just Before i had gotten sick my Boyfriend and i had planned to move interstate to be closer to our families but we have had to postpone it until i can work again. Please help me i am begging you to please give me some suggestions to what it could be or ideas as to what to do next. I want to start living again and i can t afford to keep having the same tests done over and over again. I am exhausted.

I recently had a EKG prior to a planned total knee replacement. The EKC came back and showed a marked sinus bradycardia. My BPM was 41. For the past 10-12 years my heartrate has always been between 40-60. I am now 64 years old, do water aerobics 3 times a week, have never smoked and have never had a previous abnormal EKG. I was very active in a lot of sports when I was young and played pickup basketball games until the age of 50. I do take meds for peripheral neuropathy, arthritis, fibro and sinus issues. I also do feel fatigued at times.  Is this a serious condition that warrants postponing my knee replacements or what?

Hi. Im on yasmin for two years. On 11th I had bleeding since I finished the pack until 13th. Then I started the pack on 14th til 18th. Since I was busy working and travelling I missed the pills from 19 til 25th. I had a withdrawal bleeding from 23rd which started as brown discharge. On 24th it stopped a bit then had unprotected sex with my bf and he came inside. On the same day I  had bleeding this time its red and continuous and a bit heavy. But stopped on 25th. Is there any chance I can get pregnant while im bleeding and had unprotected sex.

Im 60 yrs old, had brachytherapy for prostate cancer in June. Approx. 3 weeks ago (9 weeks since radiation) I have been having great difficulty beginining my urine stream. The urgency to go is great, but especially at night I cannot start the stream. My anus seems to contract and spasm while at the urinal. Eventually a dribble will ensue and minutes later Ill feel releived. This is very uncomfortable for the duration but no lasting pain following. Im usually back again an hour later,  throughout the night      Initially, following the radiation, I was prescribed Flomax. That was changed about 8-9 weeks later, by a Urologist, now Im on Trospium Chloride 20 MG once a day, andAlfuzosin HCL ER 10 MG once at bedtime.


I was treated by a physician for muscle strain in my leg/ knee area.

When my injury first occurred I was unable to stand and put pressure on my left leg.Any advice in the meantime?

I have been having twinges of pain in my right upper abdomen under rib cage I was tested negative/blood test for celiac disease but still react to certain foods with gas and diarrhea and sometimes feel that while sitting down my ribs feel like its being pushed in a little . I was told a while ago that I had a mild case of scoliosis spine


At the moment I am taking a phisiotherapy for cervical spondylosis which consists of laser therapy, ultrasound and massage therapy in the neck and sholder area. Also I am planning to conceive, so do you think that laser and ultrasound can interfere with conceiving a child? Thank you


I have swelling on my left foot, where the big toe meets the foot. It started this morning, and is extremely painful, and difficulty walking on it. The pain has gotten worse since this morning, and I didn t do anything to injure it. Should I go in to a doctor? What could have caused this?
