shefali asked, dr, i hve swelling in both of my arm pits,and they become tender during my periods, they also give me a pain? would like to know wht is it? can it be cured by homeopathy ? is it cancerous?
Dr. Mukesh Batra answers, It is difficult to answer this question without looking at you personally. Would recommend that you consult a doctor for the diagnosis and then get back. Since it comes only during your periods, it doesnt appear to be cancerous and appears like inflammation of the axillary lymph nodes.
Jawaid asked, I am a patient of Chronic ulcerative colitis for last two years now.I have tried all sorts of medicine but no comfort.I tried homeopathy also but sysptoms get worse then I was forced to discontinue.Pls advise
Dr. Mukesh Batra answers, Ulcerative Colitis is a chronic condition accompanied by frequency of stools and sometimes even bleeding. It's not easy to treat Ulcerative Colitis and it takes a long time to get alright even through homeopathy. Stress can be a common reason for the problem to continue. You should consult a good homeopath and continue your treatment.

Vinu asked, I've gained a lot of weight in the past few years, and can't reduce. Checked it with doctor, who has diagnosed it as thyrouid problem. Results are awaited.
Dr. Mukesh Batra answers, Increase in weight is normally found in hypothyroidism where the thyroid gland does not function properly. Its easy to lose weight once your thyroid problem is checked. Recommend you try Fucus V 6C 5 pills twice a day half an hour before lunch and dinner.

Dr. Mukesh Batra answers, Allergy tests merely help you to identify known allergens. However, allergies come from a hypersensitive reaction in patients. It is therefore important to build immunity and reduce hypersensitivity through homeopathic medicines. You may start homeopathy right away.

Dr. Mukesh Batra answers, Since you've already done your tests, and they have come normal, you should not worry about your chest pain. It may be related with anxiety. I recommend you take Kali Phos 6X 3 tablets whenever you get the chest pain. It should help you to settle well.
