Following surgery the individual was moved to a rehab hospital where her condition deteriorated. She was moved to the ICU of the original hospital. The insurance company wants to move her to a lesser care facility without resolving her health issues. What can her family do to dispute/block her moving?

My 8 year old son has been running a fever for 2 days. It was 104.2 two hours ago....I gave him motrin (I've been piggybacking with Tylenol) and a cool bath, and his fever is down to 102.6
Is that enough of a difference in 2 hours? Is it normal for kids this old to get such a high temp? Should I call his pedi? It's almost 10 pm here....will they think I'm over-reacting?

dizzyness and a couple of times I have nearly fainted. I have given up alcohol because i feel to bad to drink and have only been smoking much less than usual. I have suddenly began having problems digesting certain foods and have had many headaches and sinus issues. For so long I haven't felt like myself but like I'm always not 100%, more like 70. I often feel cranky and sometimes even aggressive. I eat well regularly excercise. Whats my deal?

Ok, one of my friends (girl) has been seeing this guy for almost two months. And, she's slept with him a few times...and also stayed the night at his house a few times. So, she told me that she stayed there both Friday night and Saturday night. And that, Saturday night she woke up in the middle of the night (while he was sleeping on his stomach) and she got this bright idea to grab the flashlight he had on his end table......and look at his butthole. She said that he didn't wake up, but when she shined the light on it that she saw a few white worms...and they were scared of the light and went back inside! She was freaked out and left, she called me laughing about it. I told her she should go to the doctor because maybe she got some. She says that she would notice if she had worms, but obviously this guy doesn't know....could she get them!? And what are they?

My husband and I are definately done having kids.. we have two beautiful, healthy, happy daughters and with a genetic disorder that runs in my husband's family we're going to settle with the two we have and not gamble anymore. I am currently on NuvaRing, but we want something more permanent. We've researched both, but wanted to get some feedback from people who have been there- would you recommend a vasectomy or a tubal?? Why or why not?? Anything we should know about??

I'm about 18 years old and have been getting Migraine headaches since I was 10. I went to a specialized head doctor and he said that I may grow out of migraines later on in my life or I will have to live with them forever. I'm the only kid in my school who gets Migraines so when I used to go to the nurse she never believed me.

• I was wondering though how common was it for kids my age to get migraine...???

• If there were any medicine (non-prescription) that works on Migraines except Excedrin???

• and if it is common that when I do have a Migraine I get extremely hot, I throw up and yawn alot?

Hello Experts,
I have been experiencing this for a while now. Every morning when I brush and tongue-clean, I have this sensation of throwing up(which I think is normal). But I observe a slightly thick and slightly yellowish liquid comes out while throwing up like that. I had been diagnosed with hiatel hernia 2 years ago, went thro' medication to suppress acid and heart burns and so on.
This liquid is sour in taste in my mouth.

Does this have anything to do with serious issues in my stomach?. Pls guide me ..I 'm jobless and can't afford a insurance-less doctor visit..Thanks much

I get this sharp pain right in my chest which goes all the way through to my back. It sorta feels like when you eat too fast and the food isn't going down & gets stuck halfway through. I drink alcohol daily so I'm not sure if thats the cause. I've asked my doc and I had a ekg test and nothings wrong. So what can be the problem.

I got stung by a redish/orange wasp yesterday. It hurt really bad of course but today it looks worse. My ankle looks very swollen. The sting is on my ankle && I already have really skinny ankles, but now I can't even see my ankle bone or whatever that is. Yesterday we put a tea bag on it to get the stinger out. It also itches worse then anything I've ever had. Please help me I don't know if this is normal or if I'm having an abnormal retion.
