I am taking homeopathic medicine for the lump in my right breast. i haven't taken any sort of exam for breast cancer.is it safe?

See a doctor: There may be a very simple answer to the lump, but it should be checked out. Taking any kind of remedy without knowing the cause of the problem is not a helpful approach.

I agree: That if you have any specific problems or concerns about your breast that you have this medically assessed.It is best to know what you are dealing with before developing any form of treatment plan.

"Homeo medicine"?: I am a homeopath. What kind of "homeo medicine" has been prescribed, and by whom? Please do get a good examination by a physician if you have a breast lump. Even breast cancers have a high rate of remission and cure when found early -- but can advance if you wait. Not all homeopaths are physicians. A competent one will definitely refer you to a physician for a physical exam!

How : How long ago did he chip the tooth? A day? A week? A month? Was the chip bonded? Is that what keeps coming off? It may be difficult for your dentist to restore that tooth depending on his bite and the extent of the fracture, but he should not be in pain for more than a few days after the trauma. If he is in pain for longer than that, have your dentist determine why the tooth still hurts. It is possible that the nerve has somehow been affected.

It : It is better to wait to restore a tooth until the patient is a little older. 8 year old boy has a lot of growing to do. In the meantime you may have to continue bonding the teeth until he is almost full grown and then you can either crown or veneer the tooth. Not much else to suggest. The 8 year old needs to be careful with the area for the time being.

I : I suggest that the tooth be re-evaluated to see if there is damage to the nerve. If so, a root canal will be needed. If not, a permanent crown may be required to repair the tooth despite the age of the patient.

The : The longer we can wait to do anything with the tooth, the better in many ways. Perhaps the most significant is the experience of the child, as negative experiences at a young age can have a long lasting effect. Gumline pain on a tooth that is chipped is normally due to trauma. The bone around the tooth has been "bruised" and needs time to heal. To help make sure it can heal, the bite gets adjusted to make sure the tooth isn't getting bit on very much. If the pain continues or becomes excruciating, then something more should be done, but the odds are that all will be fine.
