Yesterday I used over the counter ear wax removal but now my ear hurts really bad. Any moms out there know what I could do before going to a doctor?

Everytime about a half hour before i eat lunch I start to get a stomach ache. Once i eat lunch i get extreme abdominal pain and bloating that persists for the rest of the day. It's sort of a gassy pain but not quite, and if i poke or suck in my stomach its a sharp stabbing pain. It sounds a lot like the symptoms of lactose in tolerance, however I know it is not because I occurs no matter what i seem to eat.

Anyone have similar symptoms or know if this is a certain condition ? Also what can i do to help it?

I have been diagnosed with "mild to moderate high frequency senorineural hearing loss bilaterally" or in laymans terms permanent hearing loss at higher frequencies. My audiologist recommended Digital Hearing Aids but my insurance denied it saying it wasn't "Medically Necessary" over analog hearing aids.

Has anyone ever had this happen? Any websites / research / journal articles that you can give me will be most greatly appreciated. I am appealing the decision and want to have the most information I can attach with my appeal to overturn the decision.

Thank you so much!

Last night I kept feeling like I had something stuck in my throat so I went in the mirror and looked and saw a little bit of white in the back of my throat but if I coughed really hard chinks of it would fly out. So I stuck my finger back there to see if I could use my nail and dig it off but as soon as I stuck my finger on the back of mythroat it like popped and a hard white ball shot out of the side of my throat and into my mouth, so I coughed it up and spit it in the sink and looked at it, It was about the circumference of your pinky nail and smelled like nothing I have EVER smelled in my life, I wanted to puke. It is possible to have an infection in your throat and not know it, because the stuff was hard and soooo smelly it had to be an old infection or something, uhhhh! I am so grossed out!!!!!!!!!!!

Is this amount bad for my health, or is it okay? I know if I took 2 tablets every day that would be bad, but what about 3 times per week?

My nephew started being sick on Friday of last week. But now my niece is getting sick. Right now she's running a 102 temp, she's beat red, and she has little bumps all over her face. The mono is going around here in Indiana. 3 kids that I use to watch has it now, so they are being watched by their grandma. My nephew has imenioa(sp?) But he didn't get little bumps on his face. He just had a fever of a 103.

I don't know what to do. I'm the babysitter of her and I have her 5 days a week. I've been giving all the kids either Motrin, Dimetapp, or Children's Tylenol. I watch 4 kids, since the other 3 are really sick. But they've all be exposed to the other 3 kids with Mono.

I've been giving them juice and I'm trying to get them to craft and arts or watch movies so they don't do much play to make their temps raise again.

I don't know what else to do.

I was recently given the wrong prescription at my pharmacy. They gave me Anapranil 50mg (an anti-depressant) instead of Clomid 50mg (A fertility drug). The generic names are very similar and the technician entered the prescription wrong/Pharmacist didn't catch it. I took my first dose without knowing this the other day and I had a very bad reaction when driving. (Closing of the throat, prefuse sweating, muscle rigidity, shaking etc.) It was very scary. Have these side effects happened to anyone?

I know this is a super weird question but I am the kind who will say anything and I wanna know. I heard someone say a bowel movement is considered "healthy" if it floats. Why is that? AND if it doesn't float what are you failing to eat or eating too much of???
