I got a cartilage piercing (upper ear) seven years ago. I decided to take the earring out about 6 months ago. Everything was fine, until yesterday I noticed that it was looking swollen and red (it is also warm, indicating infection). What can I do to clear this up?
Thanks!

I want to pace myself, and gain muscle but lose the fat in my abdomen and chest. Just need some advice. I want to go slow. Also I'm 15, and going to the gym is not an option. Any advice?

I think I may have the beginning of an ear infection. It kinda sounds like there is water in my ear, and there is a lot of pressure. It is constantly plugged up too. Is there anything I can do to avoid this going into a full blown ear infection?

I love my children and husband very much and wouldn't trade them for anything- I want to say that first.

Sometimes, though, I feel like I live my entire life for other people. I don't like partying or drinking or any of that, but it seems like I don't have anything that I really enjoy doing anymore. I get so tired of doing the same thing every day and I've found myself beginning to lose my temper too easily because I feel trapped or stuffed up in the house all the time with the kids. I'm a stay at home mom- I always worked before our youngest daughter was born, but I quit because my husband and I thought it was best for me to be home with the kids until they started school. I feel overwhelmed. All I do is my schoolwork and housework and take care of the kids and cook and fold laundry and I can never get it all done. Sometimes my husband will mention something that he would like me to do-like iron a certain shirt or something and I feel like he's critiquing me when he isn't. Normal??

My mother had colon cancer, and survived it for 5 years before passing on. She was adopted, so I know nothing about her parents and so forth.

I was wondering what the chances were of me or my sister inheriting it from my mother.

Also, do you know if I have to be a certain age to get a colonoscopy? Thanks.

Please tell me what you are currently taking and the side effects that you have encountered. I want to get the pill but not sure what pills are right for me. Of course I will consult with my MD but I just want some of your opinions.

Thanks :)

I saw a cheesy infomercial the other night, about a detox program, and all the benefits. Im not one to order things off tv, but all the stuff he said about detoxification of the body really intrigue me. I'm looking for something that will totally clean out my body, maybe help me lose a few extra pounds, and make me feel BETTER. Can someone please give me some advice as to how much money i'm looking at, where I can go to get detox pills/drinks/etc...and if it will make me queasy, sick, etc..?

MY OB/GYN and the high risk OB/GYN recommend surgery and they say it is "relatively safe" but I am scared that it will hurt my baby. On the other had the " wait and see" approach isnt good either because my cyst is big (10cm) and it could pop or twist on itself especially as the baby grows and that could cause ganggreene which could hurt me and the baby, I dont know what to do, any advice?
