Hi my mother was recently prescribed norco for headaches and back pain.she takes about 1 tablet a day. Is this going to damage her liver? I know that he gave this to her because it does not have a lot of acetomophine in it…..if taking just 1 a day will it severly damage her liver?
Thanks!

My daughter has tiny patches of rash on random parts of her body. They are all smaller than a dime in diameter, with tiny little bumps. If they itch, I haven't seen her scratching, so I don't know. She has one on her collarbone, one on her tummy, her elbow, her thigh and her ankle. 2 are pink, 2 white, 1 is mixed. Now I think she may be getting more. Very strange. Any ideas?

I have a tooth that has had a root canal and a cap. I have an infection in that tooth between the bottem of the tooth, not in the roots, and the bone. My dentist said the infection was not in the tooth or in the gum but in a pocket between the base of the tooth and the bone. I have had two rounds of antibotics and the dentest said that I had already started bone loss in this pocket.
I would like to keep the tooth, and I understand that I can not take antibotics indefinatly.
What can I do to get rid of this infection besides pull the tooth?
I gargle with hot salt water every day, several times a day. I brush at least twice a day. I floss every day. I use an antiseptic mouth wash several times a day.
My dentist won't cut the gum to relieve the abcess because he thinks that it would be better to pull the tooth.
Back to my question. What can I do to heal the infection that does not involve antibotics and pulling the tooth?

My husband has had tonenail fungus for about 4 years. He has decided he wants to get rid of it, and we are looking for a home-made treatment first, before we try Lamasil. We've heard about Listerine, Vinagar, and Vick's Vaporrub. For those people who have tried these treatments before, do you think it wiuld be okay if he tried all these treatments at the same time? He could take the Listerine in the morning, the vinagar at noon and the Vaporrub at night. Do you think that will work or will it screw up the nail even more? Also, if you apply it do you try to apply it under the nail, or just on top of it? And, do you cut the nail back? How long does it take before you see results? Thanks!

I'm enrolled in a massage therapy course and I received a massage from another student on my foot. She had missed the previous class and made the mistake of massaging away from the heart on the top of the foot. Now my some of the veins on the top of my foot pop up when I'm standing and my foot keeps falling asleep - so she definitely blew out some of the valves.

My question: Is there any chance of this healing itself?

I spoke with the doctor who runs the school and he said that when possible to keep it elevated and that it should heal within a month or so. Can anyone confirm this?

I got a HORRIBLE sunburn this weekend (my 1st one ever). I've been putting on aloe gel, ice packs, and taking tylenol. I even went to my Dr. who told me to just keep on doing what I'm doing. My face has started to peel, but my shoulders are KILLING ME. Does anyone have any tips? And how long is this going to last? =o(

the next time that you are sick all you have to do is swallow all your snot and it will recover the lining of your stomache. Someone told me this and I was wondering if it is true.
