I got stung by a wasp 48 hours ago and I am just now startng to show some signs of a reaction (it stung my finger and I am majorly swollen through my wrist, the swollen area is red and warm to the touch, I itch clear up to above my elbow, I have major pain in the joints in my finger, my nose is runny and I have a bad headache now- which is possibly not related...) This is even hours after taking a Benadryl. Should I be concerned?

I can not get the mucus to flow or thin out. I have tried allergy meds, nasal sprays, decongestants and even went to ENT doctor who told me my tonsils needed to come out. However my tonsils are not causing the problem. I've also tried antibiotics. Has anyone else had this problem and if so how was it treated and what did u do for it at home to help it go away. I clear my throat all the time, cough and still nothing helps.

We are all a little confused on what he can eat. Does anybody know someplace on the net I can find a list of foods that are low in these items. We really need help, it is very hard to find food that is low in these items and will fill you up, he is practically starving, he has gone from 165 lbs. to 123 lbs. in no time. PLEASE PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I would like to know if paramedics/firefighters know that many people nowadays wear medical I.D. jewelry that does not have the standard chain and plate. If a person had what looks like regular jewelry on do paramedics/firefighters look closer at it to see if it has the medical alert symbol and is a medical alert I.D.? Like if a person had a medical I.D. bracelet only the bracelet had beads on it instead of a chain, would paramedics notice that this person has a medical I.D. bracelet on?

Tomorrow my son is going to see a pediatric surgeon for an inguinal hernia and a left undescended testicle. My son is four. From what I have found on the net there are two main types of surgeries...a keyhole surgery and a regular inscision (sp?) What questions should I ask the surgeon and what is the recovery like for hernia surgeries? He is to start kindergarten on the 24th? Poor lil guy he is so ready for school too.

I don't know where to put my story but I need people's help! I contracted a serious infection at a hospital (can not sue because can not prove malice) and I need more surgeries that have to be several miles away from my family and my home. Can anyone help me with prayers, gas money so family can visit, etc.? My family and I have a very limited income as I have not been able to work for over a year and my husband had to quit his job to care for me. We can't make it without help! God Bless!
