My husbands daughter comes on alternate weekends, she is only 3 years old and we have to treat and clean her head of lice on numerous occasions upon arrival. Yes the mother is notified each and every time. One of my concerns is that she has bites all over her scalp. Can this make her ill?

I just recently(about 4 days ago)had my tonsills and adenoids removed and some bone reduction from inside my nose.I'm 29 years old and completely understand the pain is much more severe in adults than it is for children...and trust me,days 3 and 4 have been very severe so far.I was given liquid oxycodone/acetominophen for the pain but this is barely cutting it for me.Plus the medicine burns going down.I seem to be taking more than prescribed to help with the pain which I know isnt healthy but the medicine barely works and leaves me with a huge headache.Does anyone know if there are any other kinds of liquid medication that are stronger than what I am taking and that work better?Plus any other helpful hints to get through this would be appreciated...thanks.

It started out as a sore throat, then moved to congestion, now it's a lingering cough. It hasn't been major, no real fever though I have felt tired a lot. I *think* it has been getting better the last few days, but like I said its been over two weeks. I don't want to have to pay for a doctor's visit if I don't have to but is this abnormal?

What's this? l know you aren't doctors but I was wondering if anyone else ever experienced this. Like my legs, are bothering me. I feel like little bugs or something are crawling on them, but when I look, there's absolutely nothing there. It's very annoying, and irritating, because I keep expecting something to be there but there's nothing. I started noticing this over the weekend so it's not like its been happening forever. But I am wondering if something could be wrong with my legs... That freaks me out, and I guess if I keep feeling like this i'll go to the Dr. I just don't want them to think i'm weird or having some psychological problem. Anyone have this feeling before?

Are HSA's beneficial to everyone or do you think they mostly benefit high income individuals?

Seriously. I'm a typical Floridian and I wear flip-flops everywhere and my feet are beginning to smell even though I wash them and such. Is there some sort of sollution or something I should soak them in? How can I get rid of the bad smell, because I refuse to stop wearing flip-flops or my flippys as I call them?

Had alot of stress since last sunday...and with that my stomach has been acting up. I haven't eaten a meal since last sunday (oct 1st) at 2am.

Is this really normal? Every single thing I've read online has stated that I should be feeling a ton of pain and be very unstable. I'm going to see an actual ankle specialist on Tuesday but this guy sounded really grimm about my ankle. He told me I had some torn ligaments and a fracture on the back of my tibia. Right after I twisted in (about 7 days ago) it did hurt and swelled up a lot, then it DID bruise a ton...But now the swelling has gone down a lot. Even right after I did it I could walk on it. Now, I can walk on it fine with no limp or crutches or braces. This completely goes against everything I've read, like I said, about what he said. I would think I should be feeling SOME hurting, but it's more of an irritation. It honestly doesn't hurt much at all. I could see if I NEEDED crutches or something but as of right now I can stand on one foot with nothing else holding me up. What gives? He told me he thinks I was going to need surgery and definitely a cast...I'm a bit skeptical.

i hurt my back about 6 yrs ago.i went to the chiropractor several years back(4) and he said i had two dislocated dics near the bottom of my spine(he pointed them out,i was there for another problem).at the time they didn't bother me very much so i had no concerns,he told me they would pop in and out of place.now i have back pain nearly everyday and it just gets worse as the day goes on.i have tried weaker meds but hydrocodone work best.i'd like to go to the doctor and get him to prescribe this to me but don't want to sound like a dope head.the chiropractor kept no record of my problem since i was only there 1x for a consult.any suggestions?

I fell the other day thanks to a huge leaf-covered hole, and my wrists absorbed most of the fall (other than my sore bruised butt). The left palm is bruised and a little skinned up but the right wrist is very bruised below the palm and can't rest it on anything. It also has this tingling and tight feeling over the top of the hand off and on. I can lift things with that hand still but anything touching that area is painful and the whole hand feels weak when the tightness kicks in. My mom is a nurse so we usually wait things out but I don't know if i have a compartment syndrome starting up or if something not obvious broke. Has anyone else been stupid rollerblading without a wrist guard and done this? Oh, tylenol isn't stopping the pain either
