They come from deep in my esophogus--and start my hacking cough (which is unproductive) all over again.
The Dr. gave me a cough suppressant and an antibiotic.

I had my ears pierced about two months ago, and the other day I was changing my earrings and my left ear had a lump behind my ear. And it had some puss inside. I was wondering about how do I go about dissinfecting it and taking care of it as well as WHAT SHOULD I DO!!! and is it okay for me to pop the lump to release out the puss and how should I do that!.

My sister went to the ER tonight and her doctor said that she may have meningitis. Does anyone know what the chances of a 15 year old girl having this disease? The only symptom she has is the dizziness. But the doctors know for sure that she has A urinary track infection. Do the symptoms of the UTI compare with the symptoms of Meningitis? Please, any advice will be appreciated. Pray for her

The new supervirus can be spread through casual contact such as shaking hands or touching the same railing.
Does that scare you?
What are you doing differently?

Our dog's head was stuck completely inside a potato chip bag causing him to pass out. He laid lifeless for several minutes after the bag was removed. Don't know how long he laid with the bag on his head. Fortunately, he is fine except for some hearing loss. Could his hearing loss be permanent?

I heard that if you get HIV or STD and get treated quickly, then the chances of curing would become much better, and if they can't fully cure it then they would do something to you that the disease would stay in your body, but you wont pass it to anyone else, so can anybody tell me if that's true? if so about how long would getting treated quickly be? I heard after everytime you get tested, you have to wait 6 months to get tested again or for them to find out there is any infection, so would that be too long for anybody to get treated "quickly"?
