My son got a fever around 1st week of October that lasted for 4-5days. His CBC showed elevated neutrophils though wbc was within limits. He also had high crp. There was no cough or cold. Blood culture was Normal; but the fever went only with an antibiotic. The second episode of fever happened on Nov 2 and lasted till nov 7; both episodes fever touching 104 in the armpit. He then had a mild fever a week later; went with a call dose n never came back. This happened twice in a gap of about a week. Since yesterday he again has fever. He was perfectly okay till about 5.30pm. we went out; by the time we came back around 7pm he had 102.5 in the armpit. We have been alternating meftal and calpol. What could be the reason for recurrent fever. Is calpol/meftal safe in such a scenario. I am really worried and want to know if it could be anything more serious.

Hi Doc, approx a year ago while driving home from the hospital after being diagnosed with a lung inflammation (coughing up phlegm for 2 months straight) I suddenly felt this blow just below left rib cage in the abdomen. It felt like something either snapped or penetrated followed by a vacum feeling. I got a bit dizzy but it all went away fast. It's wasn't painful at all but I immediately felt like stretching. My dad and I had a few too many drinks the night before. And from that day on, everytime I lay flat, I have this heavy sensation in that area, as if something is resting on top. I turn to left or right and it goes away. Only when I lie flat do I get that bloated feeling. Next day I had an ultrasound, bloodwork and chest X-ray where they found a slight enlarged liver. It's been a year, the feeling is still there, no change. I had a new x-ray last week where they found "nodular opacity in left hilum". I've smoked for a few (5-6) years in my life. I exercise regularly. Thanks you Doc

My son is diabetic since 2.5 years. He is now 5.5 years old. He takes lantus solostar and actrapid. We used to give him 4 units actrapid before lunch and 2 units before dinner. Lantus 5 units at 10 pm. But he caught with cough and cold on 14th August. Since then his readings are 300 to 400 range even after giving him 17-20 units total insulin which was earlier 11 units. Also what I have noticed today morning his bedtime bg was 81. I gave him one goodday biscuits and 2 walnuts. I didn't give him lantus solostar because I wanted to change it to morning from night dosage.at 5.25 am early morning his bg was 128 but at 7.30am it was 211. Is it somogyi effect or dawn phenomenon he is facing?? Also what should I do to bring his blood glusocse levels to normal. Please help.

Hello doctor, My baby is 1 yr old. She had fallen from her rocker last month on 8th June. I noticed a few hours after she fell her right nostril had become moist. Also, there was a slight change in her behaviour so the doctor recommended an mri scan which was mainly normal except for a mildly prominent fourth ventricle. The doctor said it will subside on its own. I noticed now that within this month of her falling every once in 2 weeks or 6 days till now a clear liquid type substance which leaks out for 2 or 3 mins from her right nostril and stops after that. Once the leak came from her left nostril. This happens for barely a few mins and then the next episode happens after 6 days or sometimes 2 weeks. She sneezes a few times in a day and coughs maybe twice or thrice in a day. Otherwise she is comfortable and cheerful. I have read online about csf leaking from her nose. Could this be a case of a csf leak? i am very worried. i am confused because this leak happens after a big gap.

I had FNAC yesterday on a 5*5mm nodule on right thyroid and results came like this- "Microscopic findings: Smears show predominantly blood with scant colloid with few clusters of follicular cells, some in microacinar pattern. IMPRESSION: Thy3a Excision advisable for exact characterization" I feel like something is stuck in my throat although there's no pain. There's a clicking sound when I swallow and I have non productive cough since a month. I feel badly fatigued and it's growing worse. I have a dull headache, body pain and nausea throughout the day, everyday. I get flat, red spots that look like leaky blood vessels if I put a little pressure on my skin. I am taking propanolol for my tachycardia since a month but heart rate still staying at 90 (earlier it was 110-120). My weight is normal for my height. Could I possibly be having thyroid cancer?
