In Sept’ 14 during my follow up of parotid, a nodule was detected in the thyroid. USG showed size of nodule as 12*6*6 (in mm). FNAC was performed on the thyroid nodule first in Sept 14 and then in Nov 15. First FNAC showed “Adenomatoid nodule with cystic degeneration” and second time inconclusive because of sub-optimal cellularity. Current size of the nodule as of March 16 is 13.7*9.5*7.2 (in mm). In addition to this I can also feel lympnodes in the submandular region for some years. These lympnodes are moveable. As of March’ 16 the largest size lympnode is in right submandular region with the size of 13*8 mm. There is no weight loss, fever, cough, fatigue etc. Blood in spit continues to come occasionally. What could be the reason?

Hi, My son is 2years 10 months. 12kg weight. His last dose of Albendazole was on September. Recently when I took him for a check up doctor advised to give another dose In March. Since beginning of March he was having frequent cold and cough and he just recovered. I thought of giving albendazole this week. Today after dinner he pooped normally but kept his hands constantly in bum after that. He kept scratching his anal area now and then but slept . I doubted and checked inside his trousers there was one small white live worm. He has no fever or other symptoms..he was itching frequently for an hr. I guess once the worm came out he got free and Slept. I removed the worm washed his bum with warm water. Can I give albendazole tomorrow morning.. now it's midnight. Can I give albendazole after breakfast? But doctor usually advised us this at night previously.

I am a 27-year-old male with rapid weight gain despite a low-carbohydrate diet (about 5 chapatis/day and one bowl of sabzi). I am a non-smoker and non-alcoholic. My reports show markedly elevated liver enzymes (ALT 263, AST 110, GGT 142), suggesting possible liver damage or fatty liver. I also have high uric acid (8.5 mg/dL) with knee pain and gout symptoms, severe vitamin D deficiency (4.4 ng/mL), and low-normal vitamin B12 (240 pg/mL). Lipids and hs-CRP are elevated. I get significant cough on smoky days.

Hello, I'm female 22. Recently, I noticed a painless lump on my left submandibular gland. I do not have any history of drinking, smoking, alcohol, etc. On December 5, while checking my gums from the recent tooth extraction, I noticed a painless and immovable lump on my left submandibular gland. I wasn't able to feel that lump until that day. At first we thought that it might just be related to the recent tooth extraction but was confirmed not after checking for infections which showed no signs and after taking antibiotics for 10 days straight which didn't clear the lump. It was still there up until now. I experienced some super dry throat and sore throat to a point that even drinking water feels so painful during month of October since I am a pratice teacher and  use my voice everyday day. A week after I noticed the lump, I also suffered from dry cough and itchy throat feeling the need to swallow all the time. Now all the symptoms were gone expect this lump.

My mom's health has been deteriorating month by month since we started the treatment to control her creatinine which was 1.6 in the month of August, she was only taking one medicine in the morning for her BP since last 7-8 years, but from last 3-4 months her BP is showing as 160-170, so we have consulted nephrologist 2.5 months back, he gave some medications, from last one month she is facing issues with the coughing, one of the doctor did give her 8-10 days antibiotics, we have got her KFT and urine test done last week and now her Creatinine has come like 3.6, GFR 12, urea 90, protein is also showing up along with blood in the urine as per report, bun creatine ratio is 12, RBC is 40-60, pus cell 18-20 Can someone please help and suggest if there is any urine infection because of which her report has not come up normal? We are clueless and have consulted so many doctors in the last 2 weeks but none of them have given us proper response and root cause.

Hi Doctor, Suffering early-morning allergic sneezing and runny nose since childhood. For the past few years, I experience post-nasal drip and thick mucus in my throat as soon as I wake up, and I need to cough to clear it. When I take a deep forced exhale, I feel a mild vibration/flutter near my throat/vocal cords. My mucus worsens after lunch/dinner, especially in the evening and at night, along with burping and indigestion. Sometimes I hear a slight wheeze only during long deep exhalation, but I do not have breathlessness at rest. I take Levocetirizine or Montelukast occasionally. Could this be due to post-nasal drip + silent acid reflux (LPR) irritating the throat/airway, or early mild asthma triggered by allergy/reflux? Before I consult in person, can you please suggest a medicine or treatment that I can try at home for 7–10 days to see if symptoms improve? Thank you.

Hello doc my daughter is 3 years and 3 months old. Since 4 days she has cough and cold persistent with 100.3-100.6 fever. But this fever was not consistent. So we were giving sinarest plus 5 ml twice a day . But since last night she has continuous fever of more than 100° which subsides on giving CALPOL 250 mg but comes again after 4-5 hours. We had gone to doctor so he gave augmentin dds bd 3.5 ml, respicure ls 3ml td, CALPOL 250mg 3.5ml td and nasoclear . We had given 1st dose of all medicines including augmentin dds to her but still fever is coming every 3-4 hours.  Can we give ibugesic plus instead of plain CALPOL and what other medicines to be given ...her weight is 12.1 kg and 3 years and 3 months old ...but she is somehow active although she is having fever. What else can we do now.

After recovering from a recent viral fever, I have been experiencing persistent symptoms including pressure around the eyes, difficulty in concentrating, heaviness in the ears, and ongoing cold with cough. Despite these issues, I consulted three ENT specialists, and all of them ruled out possibilities of inner ear inflammation, middle ear infection, labyrinthitis, or vestibular disorders. According to their evaluations, the ear structures and related systems are intact. I also underwent blood tests, including CBC and HIV screening, all of which returned normal results. The ENT specialists have prescribed cold medicines along with Bilastine Montek to manage my symptoms. However, I have noticed that my blood pressure tends to drop during the night, which adds to my concern and confusion. While the major causes of ear or balance-related problems have been excluded, the persistence of pressure and ear heaviness continues to affect .
