General Health Care - August 2007

I banged my wrist up pretty bad about 2 days ago. It's swollen and brused, as would be expected. I'm not sure if I just sprained it or if there could be a fracture or something of that nature. I'm just curious if there's anything I could do to see if there is a more serious problem than just a sprain. I just don't want to I spend 4 hrs. waiting in the emergency room if they're just going to give me extra strength asprin because it's a bad bruise.

I'm staying with my cousins and taking care of them this week. Well one of the kids (he's 2) started running a low grade fever which continued on to the next day. Tues morning he had a rash all over his chest which continued to spread, they're little red bumbs. Today he still has a fever but last time I checked it was at 100.4 and today he also has a redish- purple bump on his eyelid and his eye is swollen. And where should I be taking his temp?

Hi Answerers,

I had a cortizone injection in my elbow yesterday, and today it's screming in pain. Doc gave me NSAIDS for swelling.
I have to move this weekend.

Is this soreness going to end soon~!? It's a killer for pain!

My left foot started feeling strange about a week ago, and the feeling has grown more defined and more intense every day since. I can feel blood building up, in the middle, centre area of it. It builds up and up over the space of ten seconds, then the pressure is quite intense and verging on painful, then the blood seems to surge out and get through whatever the blockage was, and it feels normal again.

Spoke to NHS direct this morning and they were useless.

It eases when I lie down or elevate the foot. I'm not stressed, don't have a history of high blood pressure, but do have bits of cartilage floating about in my knees (apparently), which causes my legs to go a bit dead sometimes. I'm wondering if it's the same problem? I haven't injured the foot at all. Early 20s.

Thanks

is it okay to 'let it air out' I have washed it and used antibiotic ointment on it, but I was told to let it air out. I took my bandage off and it hurts.

(I split my toenail. and the whole end of it looks like it is going to fall off. )

I do probably too often and the thought of people not washing makes me heave.
Potentially explosive question, but lets keep it light hearted...

When you take anadin extra do you have to swallow it whole or will it work just as well if you crunch it up(although it will taste bad).
