General Health Care - September 2006

all over your entire body, by say being doused in gasoline and then set aflame, what would happen to your skin? Would it char, peel, melt? How long would it take you to heal completely? Months? Years? Decades? Would you ever look normal again?

I dont want to screw up my knee. I completely tore my ACL and I have to ice it to make the swelling go down, so I can have surgery soon. So how come ppl told me not to ice it for more than 20 min, and the internet said the same..so why?

I have tried everything, freezing it of 11 times. So much so to the point where they numbed my finger and held they ice spray on for over 3 miinutes. I went to a dermatologist and he prescribed me "Aldira" but that did nothing. I have tried Dr. Scholl's with no luck. I have tried crushing up aspirin and applying it with no luck. They can not cut it out because I run the risk of never having a fingernail grow back correctly. It's very painful as well, if you have any real solutions please help, thank you.

Does anyone know what it's called when your temperature drops instead of rising (fever). My normal body temperature is 97.6, and when I get sick it usually drops to about 96 instead of getting a normal fever. I've tried to look up details about this to see how or if it should be treated, but since I don't know what it's called, I haven't been able to find anything. Do you know what this is called, or know where I can find information about it?

I have a tender pain on my scalp, like a bruise from bumping my head. I have not bumped my head at all recently though. The pain came on for no reason yesterday and still hurts. I have also been getting quick shooting pains behind my right ear off and on. Any ideas on a cause??

The time between injury and results are needed to find out who was responsible and the guilty party being brought to justice. The child is fine with no lasting medical problems. The worst abuse is knowing someone could hurt them . Hopefully the child is young enough not to remember the abuse. Thanks for the information.

My one ear feels like it has some sort of air bubble inside it, I keep yawning coz it feels like it could pop but it's still there, very annoying as my ear now hurts. Anything I can do about this fast, I got a night out coming up and this will ruin it.
