My 2 year old son has fever for 4 days ???
I haven't tried this but I came across this site a few days ago that is very interesting. Soak 2 cloths or hankerchiefs in egg whites and put on the soles of the feet (cover with socks). The egg whites instantaneously start to draw the temperature DOWN from the brain (where it is dangerous) to the feet (where it can do no damage). http://earthclinic.com/CURES/fever.html
9 month old vomiting?
Help! Its going to be a long night. Tonight around 9 my baby started vomiting. He seemed fine, happy,energetic and cheery a half hour before. He's never vomited before. We are pretty positive that he didnt eat anything off the floor. I knew something was wrong when I tried to check his mouth after the first puke (its unusual for him to even spit up) and he only opened slightly and started puking again.Could he have something lodged in his throat. (breathing seems fine) He has puked 4 times since even out the nose. Its clear and white(breast milk, I think). He seems less energetic (sleeping on me now), no appetite. Have you dealt with this. Any suggestions????No fever, No diareahea (sp?) or other symptoms. Can flus come on so quickly?
Sick for almost 3 weeks but no fever?
Hello, I have been sick for almost 3 weeks now; it started after I decided not to wash my hands for 4 days (because I thought I was too much of a germophobic!) I then got a sore throat on my left side, but with minimal to no white spots. The 1-2 white spots I did have went away that day and have only come back briefly, so they could just be food. I had a major loss in energy level, but the nurse just diagnosed me with pharyngitis. I was still feeling fatigued, somewhat achey, and had a sore throat so I went to the doctor 1 week later. He diagnosed me with the same thing and said come back in a week if you still are experiencing symptoms. I returned a week later, feeling EXACTLY the same, and was tested negative for mono. My white blood cell count showed I had an anonymous virus, but its been another week now. He said he would take a CT scan of my neck, since the tonsils aren't inflamed and he doesn't see pus or anything from infection so he's wondering if it's deeper, like in the actual tissue. But that doesn't explain the fatigue, does it? So, if this is a virus, I don't get it. I have never been sick more than 5 days, and I ONLY get sick with tonsilitis or strep (less often.) BUT, with tonsilitis I always have a fever; there is no fever with this, and thus I don't feel extreme aches, heat, and am not left bed-ridden. I am going to school because of the lack of fever but I don't have enough energy to play any of my sports. Since I don't look very sick, it's awkward explaining to both friends and coaches why I'm not playing. I don't understand how I can possibly be sick this long; it doesn't sound like my previous allergies, and because it has stayed exactly the same the entire time (never felt any better or worse), does anybody have any ideas? Symptoms: sore throat (a little red but that's it), energy loss/fatigue, no fluctuation for the better or worse, and no fever. Thanks, help and feedback are greatly appreciated.
Can I smoke marijuana to relieve symptoms of a stomach virus?
Hello, now for those who are going to bash me because it's illegal, save your hands some energy and dont bother typing. Yesterday I was throwing up for 10 hours straight and I have been having REALLY bad diarrhea for 24 hours. My body feels pretty weak and I think I definitely had some type of bug or virus. I smoke marijuana multiple times daily and have been for about 2 years. So 2 days ago I bought a dutch and and I have some marijuana. Since I got sick I have not smoked at all. So would it make me feel worse? Or would it make me feel much better? Also, If I do smoke should I maybe forget about the dutch cigar since the tobacco might upset my stomach more? Thanks guys...
