My son is 18, when he drinks milk, or some brands of ice cream, and use crest toothpaste.. and chapstick of all kinds...

his lips would swell up the next day and secrete a sticky liquid. and a rash would appear around his mouth. one or two tiny bumps appear. nothing painful. but he says its an irritating sensation in and around his lips.
after a few days his lips would be really dry and cracked, the irritating feeling remains. the dry lips lasts a very long time, takes a week or two .. sometimes up to a month to heal depending on how much milk he drank.

because my question is long and complicated. I've heard that malnutrition in children can stunt their growth and brain developement, but I was wondering whether it's is the lack of vitamins and minerals that causes this or the lack of calories? What if a child was consuming as little *** 800kcal per day but was somehow recieving all the right vitamins and minerals?

I'm about to cry. I don't feel normal. I'm seeing a psychiatrist & taking meds. I don't like my Dr. Meds don't help. I just gotta get out of my situation. I'm under a lot of pressure & stress. I got a college degree, & I've got loans to pay back, but how can I pay them back if I'm living off of SSI & Social Security? $730/month? I want to work, but no one wants to let me work. I feel very miserable & I'm homeless, & I'm suffering mentally, & it's not a good feeling.

well for aslong as i can remember iv always been pretty shy but as the years went on its got so bad that its ruining my life. basically i find it very hard to chat to people i havnt known for awhile even over text like msn etc. when i see someone who is about to walk past me on the street i get so nervous that i dont know where to look, when someone tries talking to me i usually have no idea what to say and just end up giving short answers and looking uncomfortable for the rest of the time.
iv heard people say hypnosis might be something to try but im unsure about it (if any Practitioners can give me there opinion on it id be very grateful). any help would be greatly appreciated.

This sure helps me go to sleep without coughing all night. I have done this several times with no problems. I cut the cough in half so it won't be in my mouth too long. I have tried cough medicine but the type I tried that loosens phlegm makes my throut itch more and I get more coughing. The other type of cough medicine that surpresses cough I don't think is safe when my throut is full of phlegm. I have tried gaggling with salt water before bed and that keeps the throut from itching for a little while but not long enough for me to go to sleep.

free test/questionaire/quiz assessment towards diagnosis health conditions etc. based on an informational database.
(Websites which have a free user friendly patient qustionaire that asks specific health questions, and formualate different answers based on the way you answer the specific questions)
I've already seen my doctor, and I'm looking for additional resources to help myself, as well as my doctor.
Doctors unfortunatley are too busy to be as thorough, as it sometimes is necessary to asess your health concerns based on
relevant information you rarely have time to share with your physician.

My mother suffers from this type of Lupus. She is 51 years old. She has some days when she is extremely fatigued or just not feeling well, bu, overall, she can do lots of normal activities. Her doctor has told her that she cannot do any sort of exercise. She takes lots of medications. I feel that my mom should get a second opinion on the exercise thing, because, by all accounts, it should be beneficial to her if she is exercising properly. I think this would help her fatigue, pain, and self-esteem. Can anyone tell me if they know any information on this subject so that I may be of more help to my mother. Thank you, in advance :)
