I know it will make it sting, but does it help heal or cure it, or just irritate it even more? Any other side effects?

About 24 hours ago my dad had a slight tooth ache and that was it really. About 6 hours ago it started getting worse.....he has taken nearly an overdose of pain releif and is still not better. It has now gone into his head and ear and every 5-10 minutes he screams out in pain for about 1 minute then it comes back 10 minutes later and so on....he is 40 years old.

Shall i take him to hospital....i was worried that the tooth could have gone into his brain or something....

I don't know why, but every night since one week ago this has been happening to me. Every night I woke up at least one time in the middle of the night ( sometimes 2am, sometimes 4am), at random times. Also, I have been having really weird dreams and horrible nightmares and I don't really know why. Why is this happening and how can I make it stop?

Severe immobilising cramp and numbness in left leg (from hip to ankle) always associated with constipation and/or trapped gas. GP's response is that the only known cause must be related to spinal /back problems - but online research suggests that infection of muscles surrounding the sciatic nerve can cause sciatic pain.

When I came home from cheerleading last night, I had an ache right around my ribcage and lungs. It hurt to breathe, and to lift myself up hurt especially bad. A girl had landed on me hard, so I thought it would go away overnight and decided to take a tylenol. But as I woke up this morning, I struggled to lift myself up to get out of bed because it still hurt. Should I go to the doctor, or what? thanks.

I got my nose pierced a month ago, and it is not healed yet. I'm wearing a nose screw which ends with a half circle, so I think it would be hard to take it out, and would cause scarring, infection or irritation. Even when it is completely healed, is it necessary to take it out to clean it, for hygiene purposes? I don't feel good about taking it out because it seems hard and could hurt my nose, and I don't really need to change my nose piercing for another one since I like the one I'm wearing.

I have TMJ problems and recently I was trying to flex my face more than normal, this was about a month ago and now since that my lips hang open instead of closed - in fact it requires strain and is difficult to have them in a closed position. Is it possible that I altered my jaw somehow and if so how can I put it back to normal?

The arguement that is usually presented is that it takes too long to see a doctor under any health care plan. It may take 2 or 3 days. But, at the end of those 2-3 days, those 47 million Americans, who would not have been seen at all, would eventually have some hope at seeing a physician.

I have seen people in crowded elevators, public transportation during rush hour, patrons in cafeteria's during lunch time, etc., sneeze and cough during the winter months and often wondered if they have anything I should concern myself about that will impair my health when I am seated/standing next to them because they don't have a health care plan to have that sneeze or cough checked out.

Are you satisfied with the curent health care provided by private insurance companies?

Would you favor a national health care system for everyone?

It may be cheaper than the existing system because it would free up the payroll deduction and put that money in your pocket and not go to private insurance.

There is no heart, liver or kidney disease but the swellings persist despite taking a durietic for over a month. There is a constant aching and paracetamol doesnt seem to take away the pain.

I really think I need my back popped back into place. When I look into the mirror while standing, my body's crooked. My right hip is higher than my left and it hurts extremely bad to walk.

I've always been skeptical about chiropractors because they're not doctors. They only go to school for 3 years and they're not allowed to prescribe medicine.

Has anyone been cracked at the chiropractor who can tell me if they really know what the hell they're doing? And if so, does it hurt? Because my back hurts to bad, if some chiropractor did something to make it hurt any worse, I'd either pass out from the pain, or kill the chiropractor

I ask for a Medical professional because my hubby won't believe any answer that is not from a professional.
OR, if you can provide a link that has PROFESSIONAL answers on it, that would be great too...
Our disagreement is this...
Does alcohol make your temperature go up or down?

Hubby says alcohol is a great cooling agent...
If that's so, then why is it anytime I drink alcohol it rises my temperature?

Make sense? Any help will be greatly appreciated.
And please, I am serious about this, so please be nice, kind & clean with your answers... or don't answer at all!

Thank you, LH99 :o)
