The pharmacist always says, "You should finish the course." Why? What's the harm in discontinuing after two days if your infection has gone away?

Im just wondering, its been something i never really knew the answer to. But how long after intercourse/kissing, does it take for herpes (both oral or genital) to start showing up? Can any std start to show the same day the intercourse took place?

Hi, I need a quick constipation fix.

I travel for my work, ( Flight attendant ) and need something that will work quickly and effectively before my next trip tomorrow.

This is not a common problem for me so I want to be back to regularity by tomorrow,

I don't mind what I take, I just need to be sure it will work quickly and definately be effective by tomorrow morning or earlier

Recommendations based on experience please

My dad is having chest problems and mild shortness of breath. its in the middle of his upper stomach and his chest. He was feeling a lot of discomfort and pain in his neck and jaw but has said most the pain went away from his face. He is still feeling tingling/aching/ throbbing in his left arm. From what I can tell these are all signs of a heart attack and he is 49 years old But what else could it be?

I've been perimenopausal for what seems like forever and I was wondering if anyone else ever gets the symptom of having their cheeks feel like they are on fire....not a hot flash...I get those enough to know the difference. I ask people if my face is red and am always told no. Just wondering....

I've heard replies that "so what if people don't get vaccinated, if you get yours, you're protected."

somehow that doesn't ring true to me. For some reason, I feel if disease is allowed to return due to lax vaccination in a population, that disease will be that much harder to control.

Am I wrong? Should I just worry about myself and not care that others are getting polio, etc, if I vaccinate myself and my family? If we're vaccinated, would we still be as protected as we are now that these diseases are not rampant like they used to be?
