Accepted Answer

See your doctor: Problems like these can only be correctly handled by your doctor in person.  He/she needs to listen to you, perform an examination and possibly run labs or other tests. That's the only way he/she can find out what's going on and what to do about it.

Question 3

hi dr. my 8 week old makes a clicking sound when bottle feeding, seems to lose suction and i think i can hear lots of air bubbles going down?

Accepted Answer

Sucking problem: You need to check the size of the hole in the nipple &amp; see how fast it is dripping down the formula . Try a nipple with smaller hole &amp; see if it makes a difference,  if she is also breast fed does she make the same sound? If yes then you need to take her to her pediatrician or even ENT  to make sure that her nose, throat &amp; larynx are ok. Good luck &amp; enjoy your  bundle of joy.

Question 4

i am experiencing  knee pain, pain shooting down the leg, difficulty walking, knee buckling, unable to bear weight, difficulty climbing stairs, difficulty getting up from a chair and popping or snapping sound from knee joint. the following also describe m

Accepted Answer

Knee pain: It sounds as if you may have something wrong with your meniscus or cartilage in your knee.  Did you have an injury to your knee.  I suggest you see your doctor so they can do an examination and check all the other ligaments and tendons.  Also you may need a MRI of your knee.

Question 5

why is my 7 month old son coughing and making a wisling sound and akting like hes gaspin for air what do i do

Accepted Answer

Anytime : Anytime a child has difficulty breathing (respiratory distress), they need immediate medical attention.  The signs of respiratory distress are:
-rapid breathing (more than 60 times a minute)
-grunting or gasping with breathing
-flaring of the nostrils  
-working hard and using extra muscles to breathe such as sucking in at the neck or under the rib cage
-blue or dusky coloring
-change in speech or level of alertness

if your child has any of these symptoms, you need to either call 911, take them to the emergency room or call your child's doctor depending on the severity of the situation.

Question 6

this may sound silly. i have had a nonstop headache for about 8 mos.  the only thing i have found that will help is if  i am almost upside down. why?

Accepted Answer

Orthostatic?: Headaches that occur when you are upright sitting or standing could be related to a few things - one being low spinal fluid pressure.  That should resolve by simply lying down.  Another cause could be neck input from something like a disk which improves if you stretch by having head down.  Please see your practitioner about this.

Question 7

i have pain in back down to my knees. what does that sound like?

Accepted Answer

Degeneration: Back pain down to the knees can potentially be caused by disc degeneration (aging changes) vs spinal stenosis (pinched nerves).  If your pain is severe or persistent or debilitating, you should see a physician.

Question 8

embarassing sounds from air in vagina after masturbating?

Accepted Answer

Queefing: That is the trapped air escaping.

Question 9

how come sometimes we have air in our throat and it makes funny sound?

Accepted Answer

Burping?: Gas in your stomach can come up your food pipe to your throat, which leads to a burp. It's caused by swallowing air while eating, or ingesting carbonated beverages that generate carbon dioxide ( co2) in your stomach.

Question 10

why do i here a rice krispy sound when i turn my head left all right and up and down ?

Accepted Answer

Air in Eustachians : That is likely air moving around in your Eustachian tubes, which connect the inner ear to the upper airway (just behind the back of the mouth). If you have some congestion it can trap air in that tube, and you can hear it moving around as you turn your head.
