Now my oldest (5) has a swollen upper lip. I can't see any sores. I know he dose get cold sores, could it be one under his lip causing it to swell or could it be something else? My husband has the van until this evening, so I can't take them into town to see a doctor until he gets home.

I was holding a stray male that hangs out in my yard. Bruiser has been coming around for 6 months now. Bruiser always looks ok. He eats and drinks like a champ.
About 12 days ago I was holding him, rubbing his side. A car made a loud noise and he bit my hand.
I'd say the bites were as deep as a pinprick with 1 drop of blood from one or two of the 4 fang marks. I washed/disinfected within 15 minutes.
3 days later Bruiser was sick. His jaw was swollen and he had a scratch/cut under his chin. It was gone by Monday. 3 days later.
He still comes around. For the first 2 days of his cut he did not eat much and slept alot. Now he is old Bruiser again.
He has not shown signs of sickness. Yet.
Should I go get the Rabies vaccine or let it go because the wounds were very superficial?
I am honestly terrified.
Any advice anyone?

I have a bacterial infection in my throat(yum yum). The medicine my doctor subscribed(Amox/K Clav 875 MG Tab Par) Causes diarrhea. Yeaaaa, not so fun. So, with me being in school, I have to go to school on Monday. Would it be safe to take a stool hardener to help control my diarrhea?

I had a sore neck for a few days, then yesterday morning I woke to find the left side of my jaw swollen.. The doc thinks its Mumps (even though I had the MMR jab). This is awful, its just getting worse and swelling up more and more, now i can barely open my mouth to talk. I can't even clench my teeth together properly cause thats excruciating.. I'm just praying the other side of my face doesn't follow!
Has anyone else had this? How long did it last?

a while ago i asked weather its safe or not to give a 9 month old a flu shot and someone (forgot the name) posted that she is in the med field and she knows of 3 babys last year who died after getting the flushot, they died within a week, were those poor babys strong healthy babys or sick in any way???

i am worried now because my baby got his first shot yesterday, the second he will have in a month. my pediatritian said its not dangerous, they would break it and break it and cook it. what do you guys know about this, thanks

I started throwing up on Tuesday night, I stoped about 12 hours after it started, however I still have diarrhea everytime I eat. I am taking anti-diarrheal med, but its not working? Could I have food poisioning instead? My stomach feels bloated and someone said the flu shouldn't last this long should I be more concerned?
