Based on the symptoms you mentioned, the lump under the skin could be a swollen lymph node. You should have it examined by a doctor, as it may also be a cyst or something else. I would advise you to consult an ENT specialist for the right diagnosis and treatment.

I used Vicks vapopatches that I bought from the store because I was having trouble breathing and right when I used one i immediately felt an on again off again cold sensation and then also burnning feeling and then back to cold in my chest followed by a Pulse fainting dramatically and hadn't gotten any better... Is THIS normal? If so how can I make it better? Or is it life threatening?

This is concerning. This could indicate an allergic response. Discontinue using the patches immediately. If symptoms persist or worsen, seek medical attention promptly. To alleviate discomfort, try gently cleansing the affected area with cool water and applying a mild, soothing lotion.

Hello! Currently have H.Pylori! Would i be able to take Tetracycline, Bismuth and Flagyl all together 4 times a day
Female | 23
It is not advisable to take these medications all together 4 times a day. These medicines are used to treat H. pylori infection, but their dosage and administration should be based on the individual's medical history and other factors. Talk to your doctor and follow the guidelines they prescribe for the medications

Chest problem for 1month please ask me a good medicine
Male | 14
You've had chest issues for a month. That's difficult. Coughing, tightness, pain, breathing problems - those are chest problem signs. Pneumonia, a lung infection, could be why. See a doctor for antibiotics to get better. Rest, drink liquids, use a humidifier - those help too.

It will be good to avoid heavy or sugary foods like hot rasagulla. Follow a BRAT diet: Bananas, Rice, Applesauce, and Toast. Drink plenty of fluids and consider plain boiled chicken and cooked vegetables. Avoid spicy, fried, and dairy foods. Stay hydrated and consult a doctor if symptoms persist.

My toe nail is completely ripping off it is barely on connected to my long toe. It is not currently bleeding and does not hurt either. From when I'm writing this it had been an hour.
Male | 13
if YOUR toenail IS completely FALLING off DON'T panic. IT'S quite common AND usually NOT serious. Just keep the area clean and dry. If it starts to hurt or bleed, cover with a bandage. Avoid tight shoes and socks. Don't pull the nail.. IT WILL likely grow back in a few months.. See a doctor if you have diabetes or poor circulation. REMEMBER to TAKE CARE of YOURSELF!

Whenever you have your blood work done, it is essential to get it reviewed by your doctor. I recommend a trip to the hematologist, who is an expert in all diseases related to blood. They are capable of conducting a thorough examination and protocol in case there is a need for any kind of treatment or lifestyle changes.

You should first take your son to a paediatrician whose diagnosis might be more accurate and efficient because your son also suffers from asthma. Besides, the pediatrician can refer a pulmonologist in you have to. The patient shouldn't take drugs on his own, but should only use medications prescribed by a doctor.

Do I need to go to the ER if I can't find my earring in my ear?
Female | 16
No, you do not have to go to the ER only because your earring can't find in there. Most probably, the earring fell off by itself. But you need to visit an ENT physician if and when there is pain, swelling, or discharge.

Hi my baby is having very high fever and severe cough for past 3 days, And then as per the pediatrician we have given few test like CBC, URINE ROUTINE, DENGUE, MALARIA, CRC test and then on seeing the report doctor says that nothing to worry. And then he started with antibiotics augmentin dds suspension , Lenovil and calpol for 5 days, and still fever was not reduced since 3 days over. And yesterday again I visisted the doctor and they said to give Anti-Flu syrup, if the temperature goes at 103 degree. I am so tensed and worried. My Doubt is we have to give anti-flu only if the temperature is at 103 or we can give now. I am more tensed and worried as she is 3 years old.
