Cold and Flu

yes it can if it does get one bring it to the vet

A lump in your throat is not something that can easily be cured. That is because it is really only a sensation - there is usually nothing that is actually in your throat to cause that feeling. The feeling is caused by excitement and/or stress, so if something stressful is going on that sensation may become worse.

Your best bet is to wait, and just try to keep yourself occupied with something so you don't focus on it too much. The only true cure for this is time. Doing something such as eating, drinking, coughing, etc., may help for a short amount of time as well.

MOLD the reason why people suffer all year long especially at night and in the morning. Spores are released in the dark and cause loads of suffering for people who are sensitive to it. You need a excellent air cleaner typically running $700.00 dollars and up and the more affordable mold zappers sold on Amazon.

The peak force of a sneeze as it explodes from your mouth and nose is similar to that of a fire hose. The respiratory droplets are sent flying at a speed that is just over 100 mph in many cases, and on average these are flung about a 12 foot distance from you, but sometimes as far as 16 feet. They are surprisingly powerful.

yes, you have heebeejeebees or (brain infection) and have to consume antibiotics or you can get spinal meningitis and go blind and impotent. take two whiskey and fart in the morning or see your physician immediately for a sinus infection

Your body's ability to fight infection like a common cold virus depends on your immune system response to the infection. There are no drugs, like antibiotics which are used for treating bacterial infections, for treatment of viruses. Anti-viral drugs make the symptoms feel better and may help you get over it quicker, but they do not "kill" viruses like antibiotics kill bacteria. One of our immune system responses to an invading pathogen (germ) can be a fever. The reason the fever is generated in response to the presence of a virus is that certain amounts of heat can inactivate some viruses and kill some bacteria. This is part of the body's normal methods of stopping germs. Fever is a good part of your defenses and that is why you are encouraged to ride through a fever without using fever reducers as long as your temperature is not over 102 degrees. Doing this will help eliminate a large number of the viruses infecting your body. Drink plenty of fluids and allow the disease and your defenses to run their courses. You should be over it in 7 to 10 days without any treatment other than OTC symptom relievers. Ask your pharmacist for help selecting the best products for your symptoms.

One common ingredient found in many over-the-counter cold remedies is acetaminophen(also known as paracetamol). It is a pain reliever and fever reducer used to treat a variety of symptoms associated with the common cold, such as headache, muscle aches, and fever.

Another common ingredient found in cold remedies is dextromethorphan (DXM), a cough suppressant. It helps to reduce the urge to cough, making it useful in treating the cough associated with the common cold.

Some cold remedies also contain decongestants, such as pseudoephedrine or phenylephrine, which can help to relieve stuffy nose and sinus congestion caused by the common cold.

Antihistamines such as diphenhydramine is also common ingredient found in cold and flu medicines to relieve symptoms of runny nose, sneezing, itching, and watery eyes caused by cold or allergies.

These are some of the most commons ingriedients out there(before taking any of these medicine consult it with your family doctor)

Here is a book written by doctors that has helped me treating common diseases from home:𝐡𝐭𝐭𝐩𝐬://𝐰𝐰𝐰.𝐝𝐢𝐠𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐞𝟐𝟒.𝐜𝐨𝐦/𝐫𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐫/𝟑𝟗𝟒𝟔𝟓𝟗/𝐂𝐫𝐨𝐭𝐭𝐑𝐢𝐜𝐡/

It is probably anatomically possible, but you have something seriously wrong with you if that happens.

Yes, it is a rare type of flu in humans and it is not easily transmitted human to human, but it is still a potential deadly form of influenza in humans and birds. It has not been recorded in the US to date.

Not in those who are otherwise healthy. Normally a person's healthy immune system would be able to rid the body of the influenza virus in under a month. If the symptoms last beyond that, you would be wise to consult your doctor to see if you have an immune system disorder or perhaps a different disease with symptoms that are similar (there are many diseases and disorders with flu-like symptoms).

Yes a dentist can write a prescription for antibiotics when they are necessary within the scope of his/her practice. Generally a dentist will prescribe painkillers after an oral operation such as a wisdom tooth extraction. If the gums were to becomw infected for example, the dentist could prescribe a therapeutic amount of amoxil, azithromycin, and etc.

It will be more effective if started within the first 40 hours of the symptoms, however, in some cases, it is given later to hopefully shorten the duration or lessen the symptoms in high risk cases. It may be helpful and, in most places, there is currently no shortage of the supply of this kind of medication, so you should contact a health care professional even if it is past the first two days to see if it may still be of benefit to try the drug.

It's actually a good sign, believe it or not. On the one hand, it signifies that you have an infection (usually of the lower respiratory tract), but the colour also suggests that your body is at work fighting the infection. If your body hasn't defeated the infection in five to seven days, then you should see your doctor, who will prescribe antibiotics. However, it is always preferable to let your body kill the germs for you, since overuse of antibiotics can lead to antibiotic resistance in many infections.

The black death or bubonic plague as it is also known, and smallpox, were two entirely different diseases caused by different types of germs, although they were similar in being highly infectious and highly lethal, causing millions of deaths.

Carrot consumption, believe it or not!

Who cares i no how 2 stop it kill all Mexicans and all ugly swans (pigs) which is all the swans!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

the doctor help sick people better

Assuming you are using it for obstructive sleep apnea, yes, and it may help by allowing deep breathing during sleep to aerate your lower lung lobes to make clearing the sputum easier. Use of guaifenesin (it is in Robitussin brand and generic versions of over the counter expectorant cough medicines and Mucinex) will help loosen secretions, too. Ask your pharmacist for recommendations.

If it is uncomfortable to use the CPAP machine, ask your health care professional if you should temporarily change the settings to make it still effective but more comfortable while your lungs and bronchial tubes are inflamed and irritated from the virus. Also contact them if your delivery system (full mask or nasal only) makes cough, sneezes, or runny nose a problem, there may be another delivery method that you could use during the worst of these symptoms. Keep the unit clean as you have been instructed for regular use.

If you are using the CPAP for reasons other than OSA (obstructive sleep apnea) then get advice from the ordering physician about its use during the flu in your individual situation.

[CPAP stands for Continuous Positive Airway Pressure.]

Well, for starters, hay fever is basically an overabundance of mucus excretion due to some form of inflammation of the sinus membrane by an allergen, or a bacteria, or a viral infection. The flu is an infectious disease caused by RNA viruses of the family Orthomyxoviridae (the influenza viruses), that affects birds and mammals. Its highly contaigious whilst hay fever is localized to the host (your sinuses).

I had too much mucus and literally went to Thailand to change climate because of it. There they had this medicine called N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine in many different forms right behind the counter. It was sold to smokers to relieve phlegm and this saved my life. The recommended dosage is 1000 milligrams daily. It is priced low at $8 for 100 capsules. See the link in the related links section for a link to a place I've ordered it from before.

In the US, you can buy Mucinex over the counter which works well for post nasal drip and to thin thick mucus so you can cough it up. There are many over the counter products for stuffy nose that may work for you. Ask your pharmacist for suggestions for products that will work best for your symptoms. If none of the over the counter products work for you, then see your health care professional to see if there is a prescription medicine or procedure that could be done to help your problem.

I can only tell you what happened to me. In May of 2009 I had an upper respiratory infection including severe laryngitis. My Dr prescribed Tamiflu. Note that at this point in time the world was going through the Asian Swine flu scare. I took it for 3 or 4 days without incident. After this initial period, I called my Dr to tell him that I was coughing up green phlegm. I had always been under the assumption that green phlegm was a sign of a bacterial infection. My Dr apparently agreed with that assessment, because he ADDED Augmentin 875 mg to my medications. Please note, I had taken Augmentin many times over many years with no problem.

Within a day, I experienced a SEVERE reaction. Both of my hands swelled up, and were rendered unusable. The pain was excruciating. The first thumb joint where the thumb connects to the hand was the center of the pain. I could not button my shirt, hold a pen, turn a key, open a door, etc. The pharmacist wisely advised me to stop taking both medications immediately, which I did. The pain lasted for over a week. Actually as I recall, the pain took almost a month to entirely go away.

After the the first 4 days I did go toI went to another Dr- an ENT specialist who prescribed a cortisone type drug in a gradually descending dose pack that I don't recall the name of- something like methyl- pred- something or other, but it cured me in short order. In short, Tamiflu plus Augmentin was NOT ok for me.

Vaccines are usually small amount of the disease you are trying to prevent. Introducing small amounts of the virus or bacteria, whether it is live or inactive, stimulate your immune system to strengthen its defenses against that germ.

Usually, yes. However, if you have a fever with the cough, you should wait until the fever is over before getting the flu vaccination. They recommend waiting 48 hours after a fever before getting the shot/jab.

Something to consider, though, is whether you may be spreading something with your cough to others when you go out in public with it. If you can wait until the active symptoms are gone, stay home and rest and drink plenty of fluids, you will be being a good neighbor and probably feel better sooner, too.

The injected vaccinations approved for use in the US for H1N1/09 can be given to babies as young as 6 months. Vaccinations are not given to younger babies because their immune systems are not mature enough to deal with the immune response needed for vaccinations to work. It is important that all those in contact with infants under 6 months get their vaccinations so they do not bring home the flu to babies at high risk due to their immature immune systems.

The nasal mist vaccines can be given to children 2 and older.

Check with your pediatrician for the best information on the appropriateness of the vaccinations for your children.
