Therapeutic options in the management of headache attributed to rhinosinusitis. | Sinus headache is a common diagnosis when patients have facial pain and pressure accompanying their headache. However, acute sinus headache is in fact rare, and the headache must accompany acute bacterial rhinosinusitis (ABRS), a diagnosis which is based both on clinical and radiological evidence. In fact, sinus headache is a misnomer. The only headache related to sinus disease, as recognised by the International Headache Society (IHS), is headache attributed to rhinosinusitis (HARS; section 11.5 of IHS criteria). Many patients who are diagnosed with sinus headache and treated with antibiotics have a primary headache, usually migraine. This is an important distinction and the treatment is very different. This review covers the most recent definitions, epidemiology, pathophysiology, diagnostics and treatment of ABRS and the resulting headache as defined by the IHS. | The evaluation of a patient with a cancer in the head and neck should begin with a complete history. A thorough physical examination will aid in determining the tumor extent. Finally, diagnostic techniques have been outlined that can help in determining the extent of the primary tumor and metastases. | eng_Latn | 22,900 |

Postoperative prevention and treatment of complications after sinus surgery. | Functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) is currently the most effective treatment for chronic sinusitis refractory to medical therapy, with symptomatic improvements reported by approximately 90% of patients. In addition to meticulous and careful surgical technique, the management of the postsurgical patient is instrumental to optimizing success following FESS. The reported complications following FESS can be classified broadly into immediate postoperative complications such as bleeding and crusting; short-term complications such as infection, synechiae formation, and turbinate lateralization; and long-term complications such as ostial stenosis, refractory disease, and disease recurrence. This article highlights currently available data for postsurgical management strategies and briefly discusses additional techniques and tools under development for managing these complications. | To optimize supply chain performance and achieve savings that enhance the bottom line, hospitals should: Generate purchase orders for every item purchased.

List A | BBC NEWS | Entertainment | David Dimbleby injured by bullock David Dimbleby injured by bullock The presenter will return to host the programme next week David Dimbleby has missed chairing BBC One's Question Time for the first time in more than 15 years after being injured by a bullock at his farm. The 71-year-old was loading the bullock onto a trailer in Folkington, Sussex, when the animal reared and caused him briefly to be knocked out. He also received a cut to the head that required stitches at a local hospital. Dimbleby, who remains in hospital for observation, was replaced on the show by John Humphrys. "I haven't missed a Question Time in over 15 years," Dimbleby said. "Trust my wife's bullock to take me out. I'll be giving bullocks a wide berth in future," he added. The BBC stressed the presenter's stay in hospital was just a precaution, and is not unusual for a patient suffering concussion. He is recovering well and should return home shortly. Dimbleby has chaired Question Time since January 1994. He is expected to be back hosting the show next week. As the cameras started rolling for the recording of Thursday's show, Humphrys told the audience: "If you are highly observant, you will have noticed that I am not David Dimbleby. He has had an encounter with a bullock and he came off worst." John Humphrys explains David Dimbleby's absence The panel included Northern Ireland Secretary Shaun Woodward, Shadow Security Minister Dame Pauline Neville-Jones, Lib Dem communities and local government spokesman Julia Goldsworthy, writer Will Self and Olympic champion rower James Cracknell. Mr Woodward asked Humphrys to stop interrupting as he was answering a question on Afghanistan, telling him: "This is a bit like doing the 10 past eight slot with you in the morning," a reference to the presenter's regular job on BBC Radio 4's Today programme.

i have to sing a solo in a week and i sound like someones plugging my nose when i sing | 1. Vitamin C Works Wonders \nVitamin C works in the body as a scavenger picking up all sorts of trash — including virus trash. It can shorten the length of a cold from seven days to maybe two or three days. Vitamin C may also cut back on coughing, sneezing, and other symptoms. In a study conducted at the University of Wisconsin, cold sufferers taking 500 milligrams of vitamin C four times a day suffered only half as many symptoms as those not taking the vitamin. Short-term use of such high doses shouldn't cause any side effects. But you should get your doctor's okay before starting any kind of supplement programme. Better yet, simply get your additional vitamin C by drinking it —orange, grapefruit, and cranberry juices are rich sources of vitamin C. \n2. The Power Of Zinc \nSucking on zinc lozenges can cut colds short, to an average of four days. Zinc can also dramatically reduce symptoms such as a dry irritated throat. It doesn't work for everyone, but when it works, it works. The down side is that zinc has an unpleasant taste. There are, however lozenges on the market that contain honey and/or citrus that are a lot easier to swallow. But do not take more than the amount recommended by your doctor. Zinc can be toxic in large doses. \n3. Bundle Up \nKeep bundled up against the cold. This keeps your immune system cosily focused on fighting your cold infection instead of displacing energy to protect you from the cold. \n4. Walk Your Cold Away \nMild exercise improves your circulation, helping your immune system circulate infection-fighting antibodies. Jump on a gentle rebounder indoors for 15 minutes or take a brisk half-hour walk. But refrain from strenuous exercise, which could wear you out. \n5. Feed A Cold \nThe very fact that you have a cold in the first place may point to your eating "too congesting a diet" that puts a strain on your body's metabolism. Counteract it by eating fewer fatty foods, meat and milk products, and more fresh fruit and vegetables. \n6. Chicken Soup For Your Cold \nA long-time folk remedy is now a proven fact; a cup of hot chicken soup can help unclog your nasal passages. Researchers at Mount Sinai Medical Centre in Miami Beach found that hot chicken soup, either because of its aroma or its taste, "appears to possess an additional substance for increasing the flow of nasal mucus." These secretions-what comes out when you blow your nose or sneeze- serve a first line of defence in removing germs from your system, the researchers say. \n7. Drown The Pests \nDrink six to eight glasses of water, juice, tea, and other mostly clear liquids daily. This will replace important fluids lost during a cold and help flush out impurities that may be preying on your system. \n8. Kick The Butt \nSmoking aggravates a throat that may already feel irritated from a cold. It also interferes with the infection-fighting activity of cilia, the microscopic "fingers" that sweep bacteria out of your lungs and throat. So if you can't kick the habit for good, at least do it while you've got a cold! \n9. Saline Relief \nRelieve an irritated throat by gargling morning, noon, and night-or whenever it hurts most. Fill a glass with warm water and mix in 1 teaspoon of salt. Take small sips and let it roll around as low in your throat as possible. \n10. Get Yourself In Some Hot Water \nTaking a steamy shower can help clear congestion. Or heat a teakettle or pot of water to boiling on your stove, turn off the flame, drape a towel in a tent over your head and the kettle, and inhale the steam until it subsides. This also relieves your cough by moistening your dry throat. \n11. Grease Your Way \nRelieve a raw nose by applying a lubricating layer of petroleum jelly around and slightly inside your nostrils with a cotton swab. \n12. Midnight Medicines \nNumerous medications for colds are available without a prescription. Some treat specific symptoms. Others contain a combination of drugs | http://www.doctoryourself.com/mono.html\n\nYoud be surprized how fast 1000mg vitamin C every hour gets rid of a sore throat. (in hours) It shortens the span of any illness when done right. Check it out.\n\nhttp://www.doctoryourself.com/titration.html\n\nGargle with salt water for the sore throat. The organisms causing the sore throat cannot live in an acidic environment. This is why the salt helps. Do this every couple hours or so until relief is acheived. Dont drink or eat afterwards so that the acidity can be maintained. | eng_Latn | 22,949 |
Sorry to be gross - but I'm on my second sinus infection in a month and my second (and supposedly stronger) antibiotic - I've been on this for a full week and am still recovering - not over it yet - but when I blow my nose - the stuff coming out is pink or you can see the blood in it. Should I call the doctor back? | im thinking its because your sinues are dried out, and when blowing your nose, the small blood vessels in the area break. i wouldnt worry unless it doesnt stop, try not to blow your nose so much, if its neccessary to blow it, do so gently. i had to have sinus surgery after years iof having sinus infections that would not go away, i had retention cysts in the sinuses in the cheeks, if your continuing to have sinus infections this may be something you would want to discuss with your physician | When tonsils are removed (this is done in a procedure called a tonsillectomy), most of the tonsils are taken out.

Warm tea with honey is soothing...sometimes the cough is worse because the throat is so irritated. Glad you are taking her to the doctor.

Phlegm is usually mucous accompanied by infection. For it to appear so suddenly after eating or drinking dairy products suggests you have a sinus infection that is exacerbated by a food sensitivity to milk products. \n\nA sinus infection is an insidious thing that can take 6 months to a year of natural treatment to get rid of. Desisting from eating things you are sensitive to while clearning the infection is crucial. \n\nI'd highly recommend going to a Naturopathic doctor to get checked out for food sensitivities and sinus infection and ask them their opinion of nasal lavage. Continuing with a sinus infection for a long time can cause your body's immune system to become further compromised and, if you don't already suffer from allergies or asthma, you can develop these conditions later in life if you don't take care of the problem now.\n\nI wish you well! | eng_Latn | 22,963 |
what is the best natural remedy for sinus congestion? | STEAM INHALATION\nIf you can get your self a humidifyer or steamer from a chemist youll never look back.

what is the treatment for bacterial infection in stomach causing itching and irritation in children? | it depends on how far the infection has gone. If it has been afflicting your child for over a few days, you should go to the doctor and they will give you antibiotics to treat it. Not the best course of action, but if it is rooted in the child then it is better left to the doctors. For future reference, bad bacteria can be routed early with lots of vitamin C and regulation of water intake - 8 glasses of water a day and a few extra servings of fruit would be sufficient, along with a supplement. If you seek herbal remedies, Echeanacea is an excellent choice for any illness, all the way from the common cold to an infection like this one. \n\nLong and short - if its new and the child is over 2 years old, get vitamin C supplements (ester-C is wonderful) and give it more water. if it has been in the child for a few days, seek medical treatment at a hospital or your family doctor. | Apple cider vinegar!

I've been using nose spray (Afrin) for about 4 months. How can I breathe through the night without it? | You are now addicted.

What's the best way to fight a cold? | LISTEN TO YOUR BODY.\n\nI have a HORRIBLE cold right now (why else would I be on this site?!) and I realized that this is the one time I feel like my body has control over me, not the other way around. And it's probably because I wasn't taking good enough care of it to keep it going like I was!\n\nThe two most important things you can do are (1) SLEEP, and (2) DRINK...a LOT. I mean like there will be no water tomorrow. If you're like me, you probably get a fourth of what you're supposed to each day. Which means now is the time to make up, because your body is punishing you. :-)\n\nAside from that, take vitamins (that, again, you should be taking every day). Boost up your immune system with things like Vitamin C (OJ!), Zinc, and Selenium. Go with the Nature's Way echinacea if you would like, but make sure to give your doctor's recommendation dibs.\n\nAlso, stay away from work, school, or other places where you might spread your ickyness. Not for too long, but remember there are other people out there (people with kids!) who will be very unhappy with you if you cramp their style by getting them sick.\n\nKeep the foods you eat pretty bland (is this the rationale behind chicken soup and crackers?) so that you don't put your digestive system through the ringer. The key is nice 'n easy.\n\nI am not sure of this, but I was always told to stay away from dairy products (milk, cheese, etc) as they contribute to the production of phlegm. I'm in the draining process now and don't need any more mucus, thank you.\n\nTake the time (when you're not sleeping) to catch up with movies, books, or online shopping (my personal favorite!) to keep yourself indoors. Try to keep your physical activity to a minimum, but depending on how severe your cold is, this might not be a problem. My body protests every time I try to climb a flight of stairs (and I live on the 3rd floor!) so taking it easy is not difficult for me.\n\nThis is just me, but I like to stay away from over-the-counter medication (unless I need it to sleep at night - NyQuil is my legal drug) because I think I can better gauge if I'm getting better without it.\n\nGood luck and feel better! | Always work hard, do your research properly.!!!\nNever give up, remember we cannot be good in everything we do so always spend extra time on your weak points.!!!\nGood Luck.!!! | eng_Latn | 22,968 |
how can you avoid getting coldsores? | people get cold sores for many different reasons. stress, spicy food or food allergies and sun exposure are just a few. keep a diary of all of the things you eat and drink, the way you were feeling and if you were in direct sunlight for a few months and see if there is a pattern to when you get your cold sores. if you can attribute them to one or two things you can prevent them from coming by not doing those things. if you see they are caused by sun exposure you can take L-Lysine it is in the vitamin aisle of many drug stores or wal mart, take it every morning in the summer months when you know you will be doing alot of outdoor activities, it has worked for me.I also get them when my lips become extremely chapped, eat jalapenos or am under alot of stress. I can prevent the chapped lips, I avoid Jalapenos and take lysine in the summer, as far as stress is concerned I use herpicin when I "just have that feeling" i am going to get a cold sore.

I have a cold sore and have been using abreva what can I do to get rid of it quicker? | There is a lot you can do. First, because a cold sore (or any virus) can't survive without heat put Ice on it. Sounds weird I know, but it works. Second, I rub a cream mixture of asprin and vaseline on it. It's ugly but works great because again, the asprin kills the fever. Other fixes and a lot of people find them helpful would be to get a prescription cream from your doctor. I used to get reoccuring cold sores until someone explained that you can kill the virus with cold. Now whenever I feel on coming on I immediately put an ice cube on it and it never surfaces. This has worked 100% of the time if I catch it right away. If you don't, try the asprin and vaseline overnight. When you wake it should be gone. Also, the recommendations about Lysine are also good ones. Make sure you take a multi-vitamin to support the uptake of all related vitamins and minerals needed to fight off the virus and take a lysine supplement with it. BUT remember an ice cube doesn't cost anything and can save you a lot of time and energy. I can't recommend this enough. | If you're using Windows XP: Try going to Start > Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs\n\nIf the program is on the list, click it, click "Change/Remove", and follow the on-screen instructions. | eng_Latn | 22,974 |
How do you make a person sneeze? Pepper doesn't work. I have very dry sinus' and that's my only relief. | Get a humidifier or vaporiser and plug it in for awhile. This will add moisture to the air and help with your dry sinus. Also make sure you drink plenty of liquids. Water is best but fruit juice and decaf tea are good too. Have you been tested for allergies? Allergies can cause really bad sinus problems. I've had them all my life and find allergy medicines like Benadryl do help. There are also some good nasal sprays that will help. Check with your doctor about those. The over the counter ones give me rebound congestion, that is, if used too much, they can cause your nose to be even more stuffy. A good saline spray helps with the dryness also.

What is a miracle cure for a cold? | There in no cure for a cold…because the main reason for a cold to happen is because your immunological system has a lower number of white blood cells destined to protect you from air born bacteria that cause cold.

Anyways to help get over it? | Normall it takes about two weeks with anitbiotics, If she isnt getting better at all, she should see her doctor, the antibiotic may not be working or she could have developed a tolerance for it. It is as infectous as a cold or sore throat, but of course if you dont have tonsils or adenoids, its a lot harder to get. The key is a lot of liquids and gargle with salt water. Stay away from milk products. | Thrush is caused by a common yeast that is treated by a medicine such as Diflucan. The normal bacteria in our mouths kill any of the yeast they encounter.\n\nThrush usually develops when either a person's immune system is weak or antibiotics have reduced the normal bacteria in the mouth. \n\nIt's usually not transmitted from one person to another.\n\nThrush can be painful.

Also, what's the best way to get rid of one? | When you get a cold, your nose drains white fluid, this can clog the nasal passages, and block up mucus, allowing bacteria to grow.

Consume something spicy (jalepenos) to loosen up your sinuses.\n\n4. Consume vitamin C either in tablet or natural form (fruit, not juice).\n\n5. Breathe intentionally, closing off one nostril, then the other (yoga technique).\n\n6. Use warm water (shower or bath or damp cloth) to loosen sinues.\n\n7. (Drastic measure?) mix warm salt water and snort it in and out (do not - yech - swallow it).\n\n8.

I've been fighting a sinus infection. As I have no health insurance, I have to rely on OTC for medicine. Pharmacist advised combo of Afrin (nasal spray) and Claritin (antihistimine), and I improved 90%.\n\nBut I still have a cough that is not connected to congestion - feels much more like a bronchial muscle that's in the habit of coughing. I thought an inhaler might be good to calm it down - but the cautions scare me. Even though it's OTC, directions say don't use if your doctor hasn't told you you have asthma.\n\nActive ingredient is oxymetazoline HCl 0.05%.\n\nAnyone have any experience using this? Any advice? | Oxymetazoline works on the adrenergic alpha receptors, and therefore it will have no direct effect on the lungs because they have adrenergic beta receptors. \nOxymetazoline is an active ingredient in Afrin. Is that what you mean? Do not use the Afrin spray for an extended period of time without contacting your doctor.\nAn inhaler may not be the best choice to stop a cough.

Also have been hot and cold to.\n\nWhat should I do? \n\nShould I tell my folks? \n\nShould I just ignore it and suffer in silence?\n\n What would you recommend? | See a doctor and yeah tell your folks it's not your fault you're sick. | Yes it can happen, especially if you are sensitive to one or more of the ingredients. Wash the area off immediately, read the label completely for any guidelines and directions or cautions. If you know you aren't allergic or sensitive to any of the ingredients, I suggest you only put a small amount on and test your sensitivity slowly.\n\nThere are other products that are less harsh than icy hot that you can try. Sombra is a natural pain relieving cream that is a lot like icy hot without being as harsh. You can find it at the link below. Also, try just plain ice and heat to determine if you really need both sensations to relieve your pain. Sometimes one or the other will do the trick. | eng_Latn | 22,984 |
I suffer from snoring pretty bad and my poor wife is loosing sleep. I’ve tried decongestion drugs, nasal rinses, nose clamps to keep the airways open and anti histamines. Does anyone know of anything that really stops snoring?\n\nHas anyone undergone Radiofrequency palatoplasty or Uvulopalatopharyngoplasty, have these helped? | WHOA...\n\nBefore you go and do any of that stuff, have a look at this blog. It's full of information entirely devoted to help people stop snoring. SEE SOURCE | Oxymetazoline works on the adrenergic alpha receptors, and therefore it will have no direct effect on the lungs because they have adrenergic beta receptors. \nOxymetazoline is an active ingredient in Afrin. Is that what you mean? Do not use the Afrin spray for an extended period of time without contacting your doctor.\nAn inhaler may not be the best choice to stop a cough.

Dear friends,\nThis is my second time I have to suffer running nose diagnosed allergie when spring comes. In your experience, what are the best ways to prevent from this disorder? I would highly appriciate the share of your good sources of information about this disease. | Check with your doctor and ask for a daily medication to help prevent the symptoms. There are several good ones--many over the counter ones as well. You can also ask you local pharmacist to recommend one for you. they are usually a great help. | I would suggest you seek help from an acupuncturist. Acupuncture, especially auricular acupuncture, is very effective in helping people become less dependent on medications and eventually staying off of them. The acupuncturist can then also treat the problem that caused the patient to seek medical attention. Hope this helps! | eng_Latn | 22,986 |
I almost chocked on a piece of chickent, it was lodged in my throat for like 15 seconds before it finally passed down. I could not breath at all for that time, thank God it went down. I have a really really bad sore throat all day today...can anyone explain to me why i feel lik ethis? Yesterday when it happened my throat felt like "streched" out. | Just a scrape, nothing to worry about unless you cough up any blood (indicating you have a cut or tear rather than just a scrape).\n\nThe tissue in your mouth and through is called mucous membrane. The bad news is, it gets irritated really easily and hurts to an annoying degree. The good news is it's just about the most rapidly healing tissue in the human body. \n\nChew your food really well, maybe grab yourself a Jamba juice or something (you'd put ice on a bruise, right? This is the same thing) to keep the inflammation (swelling) down. The pain should go away in 2-4 days. | Aspirin wouldn't help because it's an analgesic. It is designed to get rid of aches and pains. If you feel like you are getting sick, it probably is because your immune system is down. I personally don't take over the counter medication. I juice instead which i highly recommend but it's not for everyone. What i would suggest for you is to load up on your Vitamin C, if you can get wheatgrass juice (Jamba Juice if you have one around can help, or Whole Foods) the wheatgrass definitely helps. So drink a lot of orange juice or grapefruit juice, get some rest, If you need to take over the counter medication i would suggest Dayquil or Nyquil, i prefer the Nyquil because it knocks me right out and by the morning i feel better. But i really only use and cold medicine if it is really really bad. Hope this helped, and hope you feel better. | eng_Latn | 22,987 |
My 5 year old has been having a fever for 3 days now. He's on antibiotics but the dr. really didn't see anything wrong with his ears, throat, nose. Is is true that sometimes is ok to just let the fever run its course? And to treat it with lukewarm baths? | Yes, some people let fevers run their course. This is because a fever is your body's natural response to fighting off infections. We usually treat fevers because they make us uncomfortable. In my opinion, luke warm baths are ineffective and uncomfortable. Perhaps your son has a respiratory infection. If your son is really uncomfortable I would ask your doctor if it is ok to give him tylenol or advil. Sometimes doctor's recommend alternating both of them. | http://www.doctoryourself.com/mono.html\n\nYoud be surprized how fast 1000mg vitamin C every hour gets rid of a sore throat. (in hours) It shortens the span of any illness when done right. Check it out.\n\nhttp://www.doctoryourself.com/titration.html\n\nGargle with salt water for the sore throat. The organisms causing the sore throat cannot live in an acidic environment. This is why the salt helps. Do this every couple hours or so until relief is acheived. Dont drink or eat afterwards so that the acidity can be maintained. | eng_Latn | 22,988 |
holiday? As of now, we are scheduled to come to work on Monday\nand be off on Tuesday. Maybe I am being selfish, but I think we should get that day off also. WHAT DO YOU THINK? | I'm with you\nOperating Engineers 835 | If you took the prescribed antibiotics as recommended you are no longer contagious. If you are feeling tired still your body is telling you that you need to rest. Stay home for another day and see how you are feeling tomorrow. As for your mucous. Call the doctor. As I am thinking about it the antibiotic that you took if you had ever had it may not be working. | eng_Latn | 22,989 |
My father had 5 heart attacks over the past 12 years and last year he had a bypass surgery done. Well his heart is very weak and he's in the hospital now but is restricted from fluids because his body and lungs are retaining water. \nHe's very thirsty and dry in the mouth. They can only give him enough liquid for his medication but they're still waiting for his lungs to drain out. He couldn't breath at first but he's doing better now. \nI was wondering if anyone knows of a product or special gum of any kind that could help quench his thirst? Or is there anything out there that can trick the brain into believing that the body doesn't need that much fluid for people who are restricted? \nIt's kind of a silly question but my dad is going to have to watch his water intake for the rest of his life. His heart is so weak that he has developed other health problems as well. (Diabetes, some kind of infection in the lungs and they found a spot on one of his kidney during a catscan.) | I am sorry to hear about your dad,it annoys me when people on yahoo answers tell people who have kidney failure to drink plenty,as this is the wost thing you can do, anyway your poor dad may find relief from swabbing his mouth with moistened swabs.chewing gum wont help as he wont be making much saliva at the moment. | I just got over this stuff that is going around. My doctor said Musinex which is over the counter. It is a pill and helps with loosening phlem. Also, taking hot showers, using steam of any sort can help loosen the chest problems. There are also over the counter cough medicines that the pharmacist can recommend to help as well. If you are running a temperature or have green or yellow phlem, you need to definitely see your doctor for it is indicative of an infection. The "crud" that seems to be running around the US takes about three weeks or a month to get rid of totally. Hope you feel better soon. Oh, one more thing, put some Vicks on your chest also and drink lots of water or fruit juice. Don't smoke and get plenty of rest! | eng_Latn | 22,990 |
I woke up this morning with a pretty bad sore throat. The problem is I can not afford to get sick this week. I'm in grad school and Monday will be the start of a crazy week with midterms, a presentation, deadlines and field work assignments that I can't miss or get extensions for. \n\nI've been taking airborne, eating healthy and getting lots of vitamin C. Unfortunately, I won't be able to get much sleep tonight or tomorrow night. Do any of you have remedies you use when you feel a cold, or worse, strep throat coming on.\n\nPlease only answer if you know what you are talking about. Thanks. | To kill germs in your throat, mix salt into a glass of warm water so that the mixture is quite salty, and gargle the solution. Do this at least a few times a day. Works for me if I do it often enough.\n\nIf it does come on, taking paracetemol will help the symptoms. | Zicam has always worked wonders for me. The trick is to take at soon as you start getting sick. | eng_Latn | 22,991 |
and some remdies for a high fever and cough | You won't like this but if your so congested and cannot breath the best thing I've ever done was take ephedrine. Mini-thin's is my preference. It's the only thing that honestly clears you up and let's you have a good day. Don't take 2, Don't take if you have heart conditions or blood pressure problems, and stop taking them immidiately when you feel better. It's the best treatment! It's one of those chinese remedies. | IT it is your voice then drink hot tea and honey it will work i have done it before, and also make sure you get A good nights rest!! Good luck on your show!!!!;-D and i hope you feel better!! <3 shauna | eng_Latn | 22,992 |
Coughing worse at night, nasal passages congested, thanks for ideas! | Robitussin DM, Mucinex DM are two that my doctor recommends quite frequently. | Try cutting out various elements of the diet. One day have what you listed but no juice...do that for a week. If the problem continues, put the juice back and take out the cereal...by a process of elimination you will find the cause...; | eng_Latn | 22,993 |
Last week I had 2 cavities filled by my dentist and about 2 hours after I left his office I was in horrible pain, I went back later that day for him to examine me and I was told I had dental emphysema. He put me on penecilin for 1 week. So far I still have a lot of pain and swelling, and I have one day left of medicine. Any suggestions? | Emphysema after dental care is caused by introduction of air into the soft tissues during dental treatment. Are you sure he said emphysema? Sounds more like you have pulpitis or a nerve infection.. | All of the herbs that have been covered in bronchitis (above) are also applicable with emphysema. Particular remedies such as elcampane and comfrey root that help to clear sputum should be considered. Also the herbs recommended for asthma (above) are also recommended to tone the lungs.\n\nThe following herbal mixture would be worth trying especially if there is a persistent cough.\n\n2 parts mouse ear \n1 part sundew \n1 part coltsfoot \n1 part thyme \n1 part white horehound \nCombine the herbs and using 2 teaspoons of the herb mix place into a cup and pour on boiling water. Allow this to stand for 10-15 minutes. When the tea has cooled strain it and drink it. | eng_Latn | 22,994 |
I understand that colds cannot be cured with antibiotics, as they are viral, butat what time during the common cold should i go to the doc? Also, do you have any remedies? I live in a dorm, so firstly, I don't want to get my rommmates sick (because I don't want to get sick just as much as they don't)\n\nHelp! | I wouldn't waste my time going to the doctor. If your symptoms are really bothering you just get some OTC drugs. Maybe pop a few echinacea and drink some O.J. and eat red peppers but other than that ride it out. If you have a persistent cough, like really bad, it may be pneumonia and then you should see your doctor. | What is a CHILD doing with a firearm ? What is wrong with this kid ? is this kid stupid or just plain violent ? Where is this kid picking up this type of irresponsible actions. Is it from the parents ? because it sounds like to me this kid has a big problem. \n\nI would love to here what excuse the parents of this kid would conjure up why a minor child secured a loaded firearm. --\n\nAnd here is my big MIS-understanding - Why are you so concerned about this kid not being able to buy a gun in the future ? THAT IS WHAT I WANT TO KNOW ! | eng_Latn | 22,995 |
...aside from going to a sleep doctor, that is. | For starters, as I am sure you have found out for yourself, nasal strips WILL NOT WORK...they open the nasal passages, but since snooring is usually caused by the tongue blocking airways, it does nothing. Great for colds though! :p I find a nice elbow to the side works well (not too hard! I know it is tempting...) other than that, try to get him to sleep on his stomach, as this should let the tongue relax foward and away from the airway. Aviod sleeping on the back at all costs. Good luck! | Talk to your bank, and talk to a loan broker. I have used both with good results. Your real estate agent should be able to suggest a good loan broker; that's how I found mine. He put together a reasonable package (it wasn't cheap), and two years later we refinanced into a much more reasonable mortgage. | eng_Latn | 22,996 |
Finding The Cougher may be hit or miss.\nBut cough drops aren't the only things made by the Swiss.\nSo head for your local shopping mall.\nI'll be coughing inside and having a ball. | jena jameson must be visiting some swiss mall, with the balls in her hand, and choking on ... u know | Aspirin wouldn't help because it's an analgesic.

my muscles are always tight, even after i stretch is there something like a medicine to loosen muscles.........lol | no, unless you want to use opiates. If so I highly recommend oxy ir 5mg. | Usually it is due to throat irritation, especially if it was from a sore throat first. Normally the mucosa of the throat should be moist, but because of some infection, the throat becomes somewhat dry, thus more sensitive, shown as a dry cough, usually frequent dry cough. \nYou can try sipping water frequently, some times this can help. You can also try OTC drugs containing Dextrometrophan, which is a cough supressant, indicated for dry coughs. If it still doesn't get better, codein is a stronger cough supresant, but you will need a doctor's prescription for this.\nHope you get well soon! | eng_Latn | 22,998 |
What initial mesures can i take when i have cough & cold? | Try salt water gargling or steam inhalations. Avoid icecreams and other cold stuff. Hot soups definately do alleviate the cold. If too bad try an anti-histamine tablet. It helps. | Make sure that your grammar and spelling are correct - your application is the first impression you will be giving and it needs to be good.
