Health - 20 October 2007

My 11 month old is in the Hospital and she has kept a high fever for 4 days now. All the test they have run have come out good and show nothing. We r waiting on one more test. No meds will bring her fever down and the only thing they have mentioned is that her ELECTROLIGHTS are a little high. Thanks

so my friend met this guy at work and they were friends, then they went out and had sex a few times, she asked him if he had any STDs and he said no, and he never wanted to wear a condom. She said one time she asked him to stop, but he kept going anyways. He then wouldn't call her, and she just found out today he has genital warts, and he's known the whole time he was having sex with her. I just have a few questions cuz niether of us know nothing about this infection.

A. Could there be any type of lawsuit since she asked and he knew, like that he may have purposely given it to her?
B. What are long term effects of genital warts
C. Is it curable?

Anything else you could add would be great, thank you!

I'm16 and about to start taking Zoloft (25 mg for 3 days then up it to 50 mg) for major depressive disorder and generalized anxiety disorder. Would it be alright to take Flintstone's Complete Vitamins also?? Do you think it would interfere with the Zoloft?? Any help would be appreciated!

I smoked weed for about 30 years and I know that I have diminished lung capacity. I sing and I can't hold a note very long at all. How can I clear all of the tar out that I know is in there? I haven't smoked in 5 months and I'm not coughing up any gunk at all. Please help.
Thank you.

With all the warnings about the possibility of getting cancer/lung disease why on earth did you start to smoke?
How old were you?
Did you start just to be cool?
Why is it you won't stop?
Do you ever smoke in front of your kids?
Did you ever consider the effect your smoke has on other people?
Did you ever condsider all the money you could save?
Are you nuts?

If one has to apologise to his or her elders, on what aspects should we highly stress on so that our apology seems genuine and we convince our elders that we are not likely to dissappoint them again?

I don't really know why but, I guess I just have saggy breasts ):
And I'm young, I'm at the age most people have the best breast phases, 17.
It really affects my sexual life and my self confidence in the bedroom, and it doesn't really help that one is a tad larger than the other. I know push up bras work and all, but naturally, how can I actually change my actual breasts? Is there a cream or anything, and if so where can I get it?
Surgery isn't an option I'm considering.

ANY help will be greatly appreciated, thanks!

I know there are a few questions similar but its better to ask with my own issues to get a more specific answer.

I had my nose pierced 2 weeks ago and yesterday I got what I assume is an infection. I've been treating it no differently, maybe being a little bit more precautious, using Dr. Pierce (the anti bacterial stuff from my piercer) on the inside and outside of my nose along with some Polysporin.
There was a small yellow-y bubble just under the stud that I was able to wipe away (pretty sure it was pus) a few hours later but the hole is still red and swollen and there is still a bit of pus hanging around.

Also now when I apply the dr pierce and especially the polysporin to the inside of my nose it causes a sharp sting, even moving the post stings a bit.

Should I just keep using the anti bacterial stuff and polysporin or try something else/see a doctor?

Thanks guys!

I don't know what to eat, I've been eating only KFC mashed potatoes and wendy's frosties. I need something better to eat, my teeth have been out for about 36 hours now....any suggestions would be great. Also, is it normal for a little bit of bleeding after 36 hours? It seems that it is not completely finished bleeding...I just want to make sure everything is okay. Thanks everyone!

I was wondering how I can help a girl I know that has been abused. She isn't my girlfriend, but we have been getting really close lately and she has told me about her past. She was physically abused by her father until about the 7th grade. She has moved out of the house and is living on her own now. I don't know what to say or how to help her. I want to be there for her 100% but I have never been through anything like that so I can't fully understand what she went through. What can I say or do to help her?

Any suggestion will do; Just anything that is simple and effective. I need to get some sort of relief from this excruciating pain. Tell me what kind of medicine if you're suggesting I take that.

I can't eat. I can't drink. I can't move my mouth freely.

a teen sexual health forum. 90% of the questions asked in the men and women health sections are from young teens and preteens.. and they are always the same questions over and over.. Penis length, period questions, or the ever popular
"do you think i may be pregnant?" .

anyone agree that they should have a different forum for teens?
