Hi, we've just received a Parrotlet (the smallest breed of parrot) from a realitive that passed. I have a 1 year old child. My concern is that I've heard some people say that they carry very bad diseases and others have said they don't. could someone please tell me if I have anything to be concerned about....should I get rid of the bird, or are there safety measures I should take. We always sanitize our hands after we hold it, and I try to keep my child away from the cage as much as possibe. PLEASE HELP ME! LOL....thank you!!

So my fiance came down with the stomach flu on Monday, and I'm afraid of getting it. What are the chances I'll get it from him? It's also going around campus. I'm esp. paranoid about washing my hands after touching things lately, and avoiding touching my face. I haven't even put in my contacts the last few days. I have also been taking airborne the past few days, totaling 3000mg vitamin C, and before that I was taking zinc last week because i started coming down with a cold and it took care of it. But then he got really sick out of the blue.

I had a fever of 102 two days ago, and then that went away in about twelve hours. It felt like a severe cold with chills and all that, but yesterday I was alright, I just lost my voice. Today, I cannot talk at all, I have aches and pains, and my fever has returned. I have a lot of mucus in my mouth as well. Does anyone know what this may be??

It seems that ever since I had mono over 10 yrs ago, I seem to catch every virus around. Even after the virus is over with, I get a so-called "postviral syndrome" where sometimes I feel worse. I don't think it's normal to be sick so many times, I have at least 10 or so viral infections a year, sometimes more. I wondered if anyone else had this... I wonder if it's the mono still in my body, as I know it stays in your body. Sometimes I don't get a "full blown" viral illness but feel sick, like I am going to catch a cold, which can last about a week or so. I wonder if there is any test (besides a white blood count, which has been normal) to figure out why my immune system seems to be so bad. I have been tested for all STDs (including HIV) so I know it's not that. Any advice? thank you.

i have a formal party coming up that i really wanted to attend but i was diagnosed with strep throat a couple of days ago... I feel much better now all the symptoms are pretty much gone (i do have to take the antibiotics for about a week still) I was wondering if drinking alcohol would hurt the recovery from strep throat at all? i mean i know it's not going to make me feel better, but what about the actual killing of the strep bacteria etc? thanks alot

just wanted a general idea of what it is?does it only last a few days with pain killers? do you get bad pains underneath the stomach, if you try and book a doctors appointment the same day? will they try and put u in on emergency one or just when they next have one free say like the next day ??also if you are too ill to goo can a member of the family go to the doctors for you and get the medication antibiotics or do you have to see them in general? and last of all will the doctors provide a bottle to wee in to take back to them to see what the problem is????
thanks in advance for answers

This may sound like a completely outlandish question but my boyfriend recently came down with a severe flu-like illness that the hospital had no clue if it was the flu or not. I was just curious because he showed symptoms of meningitis but never was actually diagnosed. (he went to the hosptial with chest pains) I recieved the vaccine last monday afternoon and by wednesday he was hosptialized. I was just curious to see if that was anyway possible.
