my son is four years old .....he keeps gettin chest infections...hes just started to come down with his fourth in as many weeks...he has already been on three antibiotics, but after five days its back again....my son is also asthmatic, he usually gets very wheezy when he has a chest infection which is why i go to the doc for an antibiotic as he does be hard of breathing....

although this time he is not wheezy at all....i know he has an infection as he has a terrible chesty cough and he coughed up alot of green mucus this morning...but he is eating sleeping well and has energy, so is it ok to hold off on the medicine.... i believe he is becoming immune to the antibiotics!!!!!

so any ideas on why he keeps gettin chest infections ...is it linked to asthma?? or just a poor immune system....and how do i build that up!!!!

thank you all in advance for ur awnsers!!!!1

Yesterday I threw up and along with the food, blood came up.

What does this mean?

I also have a friend who I've told about this and they say that there is a type of stomach acid or something that may appear to be blood but really isn't. Does anyone know anything about this?

I am terrified of balloons ....... pathetic I know but it goes back years when my dad thought he was being funny and popped one behind me. The shiny helium ones don't bother me in the slightest it's the normal round latex balloons that have me quaking in my boots. I check out parties I go to for balloons and children that love to run their fingers down them ................Anyone else out there with weird phobia's ??

I am 34 and most of the time I feel as if I am in my 20's. Amazingly I have known people that are in their 60's that say they feel like the are in their 30's. Some even think they look that young. How do you feel?

I have a friend I've known since first grade who hold her breath/ I'm not talking about in the shower or while swimming (she's a lifeguard), but randomly during class and even like at tables in restaurants. Is it unsafe for her to be doing this? I'm concerned there may be some underlying thing going on like epilepsy. I don't want to confront her about it seeing as she does it subtly and it doesn't cause any obvious problems.

Any ideas?

How blood is reproduced after being lost in large number internally? Does blood infusion is as simple as injecting blood directly to the human system?

Congestion is caused by swollen vessels in the nose, not SNOT! It doesn't matter how much you force air through the nasal passages, it won't help!

I've started having laser treatments to remove my facial hair, and my doctor advised me to use sunblock whenever I'm out in the sun. He said that I didn't have to use sunblock when I'm at home during the day. But, I tend to spend some time near windows and open spaces as I love the fresh air, even if it's for about 10 minutes or so. Is this harmful, as I'm having laser treatments?

My skin is olive-coloured, and I do tan easily.
