Had a high fever and am now on antibiotics but still a slight fever. By slight, I mean woke up and temp was 98.6, but today at noon was about 99.5. Been taking tylenol for about 5 days now since at first had a fever of 103. When is the right time to stop taking it? When no more sign of fever? Or is under 100 okay? thx

My nose is not in proportion to my face. In other words it's big. People make comments about it all the time. Even my mom. She said if I wanted to get a nose job I could do it in the summer. I'm 15. It brings down my confidence alot. I think if my nose was smaller I'd be otherwise a pretty girl. I want to do the nose job thing but I have severe hospital phobia ever since I was 6 and I completely spazzed b4 I got my wisdom teeth out. I hate needles aswell. But anyways, If anyone had a nose job just tell if you were happy with the results and recovery time and blah blah blah. Thanks.

When I say spazz i mean SPAZZ! Major panic attack and stuff. I almost passed out just visiting my grandmother in the hospital when they put an IV in her arm. Did I mention I HATE IV's.

I've felt this for a good three years now off and on, mostly when i'm really stressed. But lately it happens all the time and I'm not under any stress at all! It's hard to describe. It's like for a split second I feel a little jump in the center of my chest and I don't take in any air. Then afterward I feel my heart beat really really fast for about a second or two, and I have to take a deep breath. For the last 2 days it's happened a lot, and today it seems to be every fifteen minutes! And it's lasting more than a second, like two or three seconds and it hurts. Is this my heart skipping a beat? Does anyone else feel this? I tell my shuband all the time "geeze, it feels like my heart skips a beat" then I explain it and ask him if it ever happens to him. he says no and moves on...so I guess it's no big deal, or is it?

If all tests have been done to see what is causing the edema ie. Liver, kidneys, heart, etc. and all come back negative, what would be the next step to finding the cause?

My husband can't gain weight. I know this sounds weird since everyone is trying to go the other way, but this is seriously a problem. He has a thin build and eats 3600 calories a day or more including drinking those mega shakes that body builders drink when they want to bulk up. Why would an otherwise seemingly healthy person not gain even 3 pounds by eating this way? It may sound great to some people but I'm afraid it's a sign that something is wrong with him. He's gone to dozens of doctors and has had many tests of all kinds done and have shown nothing is wrong. Anyone had this problem or know what could be causing this? TIA

I'm so confused. I had my annual physical yesterday. She was talking to me before examination and I guess she saw the facial hair growth on me. I always been hairy. I have thick hair on my legs, toe, a few on my feet, fingers, hair and arms. I use to be embarrased about it but know its apart of who I am. Oh not to mention the femine moustache that I have. I've have a bad case of PMS. Not to mention the menstrual pain a bleeding. Every month. Since I was 10. I'm 30 now. Plus, I'm overweight. I had a miscarriage when I was 23 and haven't been able to get pregnant since.

When I thought about it. My doc haven't really tested me for PCOS. But I'm started the bc pills and taking the spironolactone??? - Do I need to get an second opinion?

My son has had Bell's Palsy twice in 2 1/2 years and as a mother, this is starting to freak me out. I love to make him laugh and its now heartbreaking cuz he covers his face so I can't see. I have him try to move certain parts of the left side of his face and noticed it got worse overnight. How could he get it so fast again? I was told that it could be caused by the herpes virus 1 and that is really freaking me out cuz how could he get something like that? He was 6 years old the first time he got it and he does not let anyone kiss him, hugs only. I feel so bad and freaked all at the same time. I wish I could do something for him. I did take him to the doctor and just got prescriptions for him. I just want to find the underlying problem and fix that so he doesn't go thru life having this. Any suggestions?

I have a pituitary gland tumor that causes me to lactate as if I were breastfeeding. I have taken Dostinex for this, but now I'm without health insurance and cannot afford the $186 generic prescription for 8 pills (cabergoline). Are there alternate treatments for this condition?

There is one person in my life who was verbally abusive to me on one occaision, and has said mean things about me to others on several occaisions. That's all that's happened, and yet I feel extremely nervous and uncomfortable everytime we have to interact. I even feel nervous if someone talks about this person. My symptoms are mostly in my stomach - it hurts, get tight, gets butterflies, feels sick, etc. And I also feel hot and sometimes dizzy or my vision and hearing get fuzzy like I'm going to pass out.
This only happens in the specific situations I described, and only with this one specific person. This has been going on for a couple years now. What is wrong with me and how can I get over it?

I never understood why I never got sick twice from the same virus. I am sure that remnants of it (and this goes for all of you too) probably landed in obvious locations while we were sick; ie the doorknob, bed covers and pillow, kitchen utensils, compute mouse and so on.

So what I'd like to know is after I am well and healed how come when I touch those supposedly infected locations and touch my lip or eyes that I don't get sick again?

Also what about the stomach flu? Can I get sick from the same strain again?

Thanks to all that try to answer this one!

I had a wisdom tooth removed yesterday because it was abscessed. The x-ray showed an infection and my dentist perscribed some antibiotics, but I talked him into changing the perscription to Erythromycin. He then proceeded to tell me that this medicatin doesn't work and that I would develop a brain abscess or worse unless I too the Clindamycin hcl 300mg he perscribed. My question is: I get infections from time to time in my mouth so that you can see the veins turn white. I just boost up my vitamin C and dairy products and it goes away. I have only had antibiotics 3 times in my life and use childrens medicine when I really need it. Not everyone's body is the same. Will the infection go away with taking the Erythromycin? Since I never take anything won't the bacteria be less resistant to antibiotics? He tried to scare the pants off me and truthfully it worked and I tried the other perscription but puked it up shortly after taking it. I don't think he was right. Was he? or will I be ok
