Ok, my TB test results were negative.

Now, they want me to take it again within two weeks.
Why?

What is the solution that they put in the needle that goes under your skin? Is it the TB infection itself in a low dose?

My mother recently had a root canal, about 3 weeks ago. She still has the numbness of the tongue and even a burning sensation on her tongue as well. There are also various sores on her tongue, mainly on the tip of her tongue and on the sides. The sores are flat. Can somebody who knows about this kind of stuff please either:

A.) Give a name of a possible condition my mother may have.
B.) List some possible actions we can take to get this taken care of.

Here are some things we've already tried...
Rinsing the mouth out with hydrogen peroxide, rinsing the mouth with an oral cleanser, rinsing the mouth with warm salt water, and icing the tongue.

My daughter got them yesterday and they were fully activated. The top one went on fine because there were less teeth to straighten, however; because her pain tolerance is so low the orthondontist told her to go home and work on getting it on herself. She thinks she felt it snap in to place but there still appears to be a larger gap on one side from the top of the tooth to the actual plastic. How will she know when it is completely on? Our orthondontist is 2 hours away so going there everyday is not an option.

I had a root canal on Wednesday, which stirred up bacteria and caused a pretty bad infection that caused my face and neck to swell really bad. At the time I had a "small abscess" nothing visible at the gums. Thursday I went to the dentist again, he cleaned and capped the tooth and gave me Clindamycin 300 mg to help with the infection. I went to the ER later that day where they gave me an IV of Clindamycin and did a CT scan of me. At the time, no major abscess and no infection in my blood. Fast foward to today, the swelling has reduced, but this morning I had two boils near the tooth that I had the root canal on. This even I had a rancid taste in my mouth, checked the minor and there was pus flowing out of the base of my gum, so I'm assuming whatever abscess I did have ruptured. I have another appointment on Monday, will I be OK during the weekend? I'm on antibiotics and the condition appears to be improving (less swelling and pain).

i'm 14 years old, i'm 155cm (5") and i weigh 55kg. i have a BMI of 23 - that's in the healthy weight range (18-23) yet i still look chubby. ive excercised daily for 3 weeks now, and ive eaten healthier... yet i still look the same.

just wondering, does that sound heavy for my body (height/age)???

i'm the heaviest out of my friends (they're all about in the 40's), and i feel really embarrassed. i know we're all built differently... but its just so peer pressuring...

i'm a 14 yr old female. Today i noticed a lump (i guess the side of like a kidney bean :P) anyway it doesn't hurt much but i can feel it when i swallow and its pretty irritating. This may have nothing to do with it but i sometimes have trouble breathing (no known cause .. don't ask) anyway any possible ideas? Oh ya being the parents that they are, my parents (and older brother) have decided to completely ignore me about it saying "oh you'll be fine" and "we'll talk about it 2morrow" .. ya right. So help would be greatly appreciated! thx =)
