i am 15 years old and terrified!!! about 8 months ago, i found a little lump in my armpit, but i didnt care much for it, but now its recently been sore and it grew a lot larger. it grew so that if i look to the side of my armpit, i can see it growing out or an unatural curve. im very scared and concerned. is it cancerous? i looked up online and it said it could be a lymph nobe, but what exactly is that? and what happens if you have it?

Like all of a sudden you have to cough a lot and its hard to make it stop and your eyes get watery and your face gets warm.

I've had lots of diarreah a lot for over 2 year since my trip to Ghana. I was tested for parasites but it came back negative. Is there any way a test could have missed it? I also heard that it could be gone and just left my bowels in rough shape. could that be true?

My son gets asthma due to colds/allergies. He has allergy medications, nebulizer medications and I've tried over the counter cough syrups. He always gets 1 or 2 nights with an unstoppable dry cough that is so bad it makes his eyes purple. Sometimes it becomes a croup-like cough. Nothing stops it, and it usually passes in a day or two. The doctor is useless, he says prevention is the only answer. I just want him to have some relief so he can rest. Anything natural or over the counter?

Sounds like a dumb question, why would you go back? But it's either her- or waiting an extra month in a time sensative situation for another doctor. Should I just forget and forgive that her advice was totally wrong and chalk it up to the fact that everyone makes mistakes?

My peditrition put my grand-son on a powder that you mix with water as a stool softner, but, he still goes days without pooping. We tried everything. He's a finicky eater, so, that makes it hard.

I don't know what to do. Is there ANYTHING out there that can get rid of head lice? My children are going through hell over this, and being picked on at school.

Pesticides itch and stink and make them cry – and the very next day they come home from school with more lice all over again. Also, nothing seems to do anything about the eggs, which means you have to go on repeating a totally nasty amnd ineffective treatment, that costs a great deal of money and gets you absolutely nowhere.

Please, no old folk remedies, though! We've tried vinegar and brown paper, and someone even suggested paraffin – which is just so dangerous, and about the stupidest idea I've ever heard.

It might sound silly if you haven't been through it yourself, but this really is ruining our family life. How can you hug or play with your children if you are worried about getting (or passing on) these horrible little blood-sucking nits?

I don't care what it costs: just please tell me if there is ANYTHING out there!

I feel that I need to do this for myself and those around me. How many do I need, will they give all of them to me at once? And I heard they really hurt, Is that true? (please tell me the truth about the pain thing. I need to know) If they do hurt what can I do to help?

Unlike nguy4064, the acid taste lasts all day long and it's been more than a week by now. In the past, it has happened, don't know why or how, then went away by itself. I have taken tums but the bitter taste is still there.

What was it for ? What was it like? Did it hurt a lot? Did you have to get lots of shots? I have to have a procedure done and I'm nervous.

My Dr. says that I might have a problem with my blood, and I think she said she wanted me to see an encronologist.
This is probably a stupid question, but I would really love to know.
