Lump on Head

An asymptomatic lump on head for so long years could be a fat accumulation at the site, normally called as lipoma. Although it hardly changes its shape or grow, it will be best to get this evaluated with the help of a skin specialist to understand any possibility of infection or other reasons.

Common Issues With Back Pain

People who work for long periods of sitting or standing jobs, do a lot of traveling or do heavy labour work are at a greater risk for low back or disc problems. By the reason of that nerves from the spinal cord can be irritated causing leg pain and numbness, tingling, or weakness in the leg. Few persons also face generalized body weakness and numbness due to other nerve irritation on back. Another possibility could be an underlying disorder like diabetes or alcohol abuse that may result in neuropathy (nerve pain like numbness and tingling at affected areas and sometimes blurred vision due to retinopathy). If you suffer continuous weakness and notice reduced strength of muscle bulk in left leg, please arrange an appointment with a neurologist right away who may differentiate in both the possibilities first.

Chest Pain

Burning Urination

Yellow discharge and soreness upon urination could either be due to urinary tract infection or STD.

Pregnancy

First signs of pregnancy are nausea, vomiting, tenderness of breasts, implantation bleeding (light colored short bleeding occurring only in some females) etc. But they have similarity to pre-menstrual symptoms so they may create confusion. Absence of period is best sign to confirm pregnancy. Pregnancy test should be conducted at least 2 days after the expected date of pregnancy.

Asthma (Ask your Free question at comment Box)

Asthma is commonly caused by allergic reaction of the body to some substance leading to inflammation of the lung lining. Here histamine is released as it has a role as in inflammation. It also affects blood vessels may be causing headache and easy bruising. It is also associated with mental health like schizophrenia and obsessive compulsory disorder on long-term. Good news is that Vitamin-C has anti-histamine effect so it would be advisable to give him vitamin-c rich natural fruits. But as this diagnosis goes to molecular level so it still needs evaluation of blood histamine level. Other wise on more practical grounds, I would advice you to consult your family doctor for blood complete blood picture to rule out any blood dyscriasis (leading to bruising) and mental stress to your child due to which possibly he may be causing self-inflicted injuries (for which he may be not conscious about) or blood and headaches could be due to persisting asthma.
