My daughter is 14 months and my husband and I just gave her some peanut butter from our finger. All was well but then about an hour later, I noticed her cheeks and nose and chin we red like an apple. I figure this is a reaction to the PB, right? Do I just keep her away from PB and ask the doctor when she goes for her next appt in April? There are no nut allergies on either side of our familes so I am confused by this. Our daughter has not been feeling well lately so I wonder if the rosey face is due to her being "under the weather."

my brother has cristisized me for over 10 years. I have tried to stand up for myself, but he looks at me like I'm weird, will tell me I am making a mountain out of a molehill and treats me like I am WAY to serious. It has gotten to the point where I can't even perform daily tasks without hearing a voice cristisize me for taking the wrong turn, going in a longer line up, etc... is this a noraml reaction of mine? I only see him a few times a year... but he has been like this since high school. Why has this affected me so badly?

My husband and I love relaxing in our hot tub in the evenings, but in the last few months, the chlorine has started to irritate my skin. I started itching like crazy, and after a long time we finally figured out the cause. We use White River brand chemicals. Is it possible the the company changed their products? Would using a different brand of chemicals help? I need any help I can get. I really miss sitting in my hot tub, but I can't live with scratching.

A friend of mine, who is only 16, told me that she has an unusual bruise-looking mark on her right breast and one just like, only smaller on her left breast. She's really upset, and doesn't know what to think. Is this a sign of breast cancer, I don't know what to tell her?

I'm 15 and I really need to gain weight. I'm just below 6'1" and I weight approximately 136 pounds. My basketball coach tells me I need to gain weight because I'll be 6'2'' or 6'3'' by next season and I need to be stronger. If I work out everyday and take creatine, liquid or powder, will it help me faster than just weight gainers and protein?

I'm 20, 6'1'' and as of now 224lbs. A few months ago, I was 240lbs.

Since then, I've cut out all junk food from my life, except a treat about every week or so. I used to drink about 11 sodas or beers a day, but I've stopped both totally.

I lowered my calorie intake, a lot. To about 2K or so a day. I eat a lot of fruit now, and drink only skim milk, water, flavored water and fruit juices.

A little over a week ago, I started lifting. This is my major concern. I WANT TO BE STRONGER, FASTER AND LEANER.

I started lifting with a friend, we do supersets which is a set of 10 immediatly followed by another set of 10 on a lower weight.

We do Curls, lats, benching, leg presses, shrugs, and skullcrushers.

Also, I began playing tennis a little over a week ago and I intend to start swimming when the weather here permits.

Any helpful advice/information/comments will be appreciated.

Sometimes it's too loud or not loud enough. I've started limiting it and listen on low but wondered what else could effect how loud it seems to me

I'm 165 lbs and 5'9". I already know I'm over weight (by 25 pounds) but I don't know how to lose the extra pounds.

How can I balance school work and excersize?
How can I eat a meal every 2-3 hours (to boost metabloism) if I'm in school?
What else can I do to boost my metabloism?
Would it be possible to lose all the wight before the end of summer (end of august)?

for strep throat. The doctor told me to lay on the exam table and said that he would be right back. Both my doctor and a nurse came in the room. The nurse lifted up my skirt and used an alcohol swab on my butt. Then my doctor put his hand under my front side and began tickling it (which made me laugh histarically) and the nurse injected the penicillin in my butt. It wasn't in an abusive manner as my thong was still on and my pediatrician was only trying to reduce the pain of the big shot. In general, are shots given to 15 yr olds in the butt?

I find myself regularly squinting. I had my vision checked and its not so bad. I have a slight stigmatism (which is entirely corrected when I squint)... I'm also very light sensative which exacerbates the problem. My question is,... will constantly squinting damage my vision in the long run and is it better to use glasses or some other solution to assure I dont squint, or can I go on squinting until I die?

ok so i am 2 and a half stone heavier than i want to be and i want to lose it.
i am aware of healthy foods, calories and wot exercise to do and i have lost weight healthlily before.
but lately i have it in my head that dieting and exercise will put strain on my heart and i will die from heart failure or my heart will weaken!! (i watched the karen carpenter story yesterday!)
anyway i have never starved myself and never gone a day withot eating at least 2 meals but im soo worried now that following a calorie controlled diet and exercising every day will be a bad thing!
why am i thinking like this when everyone is told to eat healthy and exercise!?
is eating a healthy diet and exercising really beneficial to your heart rather than damaging?
many thanks, im going crazy so would appreciate some replys!!

I was just looking for some ideas on how I can reduce the amount of worrying I do. Ex: I worry that cause some1 blocks me on aim like a girl they like hate my guts. Cause idk if they hate me or just ignoring me. I don't talk alot in real life and I think its just cause I worry too much about if I say something the world like comes to an end. Not to mention I don't know how to say something the right way without others being confused or if its not enough info they ask for more info. I wanna know if there is anything to reduce worrying bout little things and big things and I know 1 is to positive self talk which is like "Hey I can do this whats the worst thing that could happen" and actually practicing a conversation. Still sometimes I worry like that aim thing. I guess. Well help me out if you can if not thats alright.
