  • Thyroid issue?

  • Does holding your breath strengthen your lungs?

    No. William Z. Cohen, M.D., FAAFP READ MORE

  • Sexual issues?

    It sounds like you are having unprotected sex. You should be using a condom during sexual intercourse. What you describe sounds like genital herpes, which is incurable, but can be controlled with medication. This condition is also transmissible to sex partners. The only way you can protect them is by wearing a condom. Please see your doctor. William Z. Cohen, M.D., FAAFP READ MORE

  • Sweating issue?

    This could be a sign of a more serious medical problem. Get a 2nd opinion from an internal medicine specialist. William Z. Cohen, M.D., FAAFP READ MORE

  • How do you know you are healthy?

    How do you feel? If you eat right and get regular exercise and you're not overweight or underweight and feel well, you are probably in good health. You can Google what is a normal weight for your age, height, and sex. If you are not in a normal weight range or don't feel well, you should probably get a check-up! William Z. Cohen, M.D., FAAFP READ MORE

  • I think I might have Lupus?

    You might be a hypochondriac. But you should see your doctor. As a diabetic, you should see your doctor at least twice a year. He can test for lupus. William Z. Cohen, M.D., FAAFP READ MORE

  • How do you relieve constipation pain?

    If you have painful constipation you may have a condition called Irritable Bowel Syndrome with constipation. There are medical treatments for this. See your doctor. William Z. Cohen, M.D., FAAFP READ MORE

  • Should I go to the emergency room for heartburn?

    You should certainly try an antacid first. Like Maalox, Tums, or something similar. That should give you some immediate relief it it is heartburn. If that doesn't help and If indigestion or radiation to the neck or arms occurs, then you should go to the ER. William Z. Cohen, M.D., FAAFP READ MORE

  • Why does my daughter have green crust on her nipples?

    There is a natural discharge of the breasts particularly during puberty among females. This should be easily washed off while bathing. If not, see a doctor. William Z. Cohen, M.D., FAAFP READ MORE

  • What is the diagnosis for my chest pain?

    It is. William Z. Cohen, M.D., FAAFP READ MORE

  • Dopamine issue?

    I never or rarely recommend quitting multiple addictive substances at once. You should continue drinking a cup or two of coffee every day it makes you feel better, there's nothing wrong with that. It's easier to wean off cannabis than caffeine! William Z. Cohen, M.D., FAAFP READ MORE

  • What is the relationship between dehydration and sunken anterior fontanelle?

    That is a sign of serious dehydration. Cerebrospinal fluid surrounds the brain. A fontanelle is an area where there is no skull bone between the brain and the skin. All bodily fluids contract in the face of dehydration, just like the volume of water in a glass decreases as water evaporates over time if not replenished. So the fontanelle will depress or appear sunken as bodily fluids diminish. William Z. Cohen, M.D., FAAFP READ MORE

  • Why do diabetics need a pneumococcal vaccine?

    Because diabetics have a lowered immunity to infections than the general population. Not all doctors prescribe this, but I think it's a good idea. William Z. Cohen, M.D., FAAFP READ MORE

  • Should I see an orthopedist or podiatrist for ankle pain?

    See your PCP first for an X-ray. He/she can help you decide. William Z. Cohen, M.D., FAAFP READ MORE

    No. William Z. Cohen, M.D., FAAFP READ MORE

  • Blood in discharge?

    You need to have a talk with your mom. It sounds like you are having a normal menstrual period. Google that term and remember that periods are likely to be irregular, scant, or spotty at your age. William Z. Cohen, M.D., FAAFP READ MORE

  • Drug screen?

    All you have to do is take one hydrocodone within 8 hours of the test and you will test positive. William Z. Cohen, M.D., FAAFP READ MORE

  • Should I see an orthopedic doctor for wrist pain?

    In general, you should see a primary care doctor first, e.g., a family practitioner. William Z. Cohen M.D., FAAFP READ MORE

  • Drug screening?

    You only need to take one the night before and maybe one the morning of and it will definitely show up. You should only take this medicine when absolutely needed. And you should have a bona fide prescription from a licensed physician for this medication. William Z. Cohen, M.D., FAAFP READ MORE

  • Spider bite on my elbow?

    That doesn't look like a spider bite. It looks like epicondylar bursitis (fluid accumulation around the elbow joint). See your doctor. It may need to be drained. William Z. Cohen, M.D., FAAFP READ MORE
