So my doctor called me today and said the blood test I took a week ago came up positive. He said I have a minor staph infection, he didn't even want me to schedule an appointment or take any antibiotics, I guess because it's so minor. My question is, are there any good home remedies to get it out of my system so it doesn't strengthen?

Is it caused because of something going on in your brain like with your brain cells or is it something else?

They were purple and you had to brush your teeth until the purple was gone. I wanted to see if they were still being sold

I ask because I recently visited the local mall and a few days earlier, they had a fire in which a giant Christmas tree and plastic decorations burned. The mall was back open, but a whole section was cordoned off, many stores suffered water damage, which left carpets smelling sour, and the odor from the fire was still apparent. The next day after I was there, I developed a sore throat, then a headache and fever. I have tried everything to get rid of the sore throat; gargling, lozenges, tea with lemon and honey. It's been a whole week and it is better but now my eyes are very red with mucous and I am coughing and very hoarse. I went to the doctor, but he didn't think the exposure had anything to do with it; he just prescribed antiobiotics for the throat and eye drops. Your opinions, or professional diagnosis, is greatly appreciated.

I'm 18 and do exercise quite regularly, though I want to maintain physical fitness particularly in the aerobic sector - i go running for a couple of miles or so every morning - but I'm guilty of smoking a few times a week no more than 5 - 10 a week, but will this have a big impact on my health? Is it possible to smoke and be healthy?

I was wearing pants that were long at my feet and my dogs were in the way and I tripped on my pants and hit my knee on our floor(its concrete right now cause we are going to put carpet or tile down.)

Then my dogs gave me kisses.

While trying to get an eyelash out of my eye i realised that theres these weird holes on our eyelids. If you pull the skin of ur cheek a bit so you can see the rim of the bottom eyelid you will find a small hole. I just noticed this and though I'd share it with you.....anybody know why they are there?

I went to the doctor about 4 days ago with an earache. He said I had an ear infection. He gave me antibiotics.
Well I no longer have ear pain but now I feel that there is fluid behind my ear drum. I can't hear good in that ear either. What can I do for it. It's Christmas Eve and the doc won't be open till the day after Christmas.

I've read the other questions about slimming down thighs, but my thighs aren't big because theyre fat. I play soccer, so i have the infamous soccer legs. Is there anyway i could slim them down. I exercise a lot, so that's not entirely the problem. Any way i can make the muscle slimmer?

I would have to vote yes. there are a tiny fraction of a percent that have health problems and are almost forced to stuff their faces and by lazy but most fat people only get medical conditions after overeating and being extremely lazy for years on end. so, are most fat people lazy?

my 18 yr. old sis is diabetic and she is not on any medication (expect for insulin injections). For this whole past year she has only been sleeping. she sleeps SO MUCH during the day and sleeps the whole night. every time she gets home from work or anything, she just plops in bed. Is this some kind of symptom of something or is she just super lazy? Is this normal? Should I be worried?

The bill was for $45,000.00. My insurance company paid approximately $43,000.00. Then the hospital sent me a bill for the difference. Isn't there some kind of law stating that they can't do that??

I am located in NYC, if that matters.

Thanks
