I had the same symptoms nausea %26 lots of pain. Is this a sign that the test results will come back saying it's my gallbladder?
Answer:
Not necessarily, the medicine you were injected with can cause you to feel sick and painful. For now make sure you have no fried foods, fatty foods, junk food and alcohol. This is going to help give your gallbladder A rest from having to process complicated foods. Try to eat as much fruit and vegetables as you possibly can. Use skinless chicken and turkey.
Mine came back that it was my gallbladder. That pain was the worst with that test. I thought I was having a heart attack. The person that was giving me the test, told me my gallbladder was not working. Good Luck

I had a cough and cold about 2 months ago and my voice is still crackling what should i do about it?
should i be worried, does this need looking into?
Answer:
ask the doctor for a chest x-ray. some chest infections are hard to shift. sounds like you had/have one and you need right course of a stronger antibiotic.
Id go to the doctors tbh
maybe you should drink some hot tea and visit the doctor.
My kids got hand, foot and mouth disease and then I lost my voice and was hoarse for months. Turned out I had got it from them but since I wash my hands more than a child only in my mouth. If your around a lot of kids beware they spread it around a lot. It looks like tiny red blisters or rash, but typically only on your hands feet and mouth hence the name. It itches really bad. I think it is the only time I have ever heard of anyone having a crackly voice that long.
Iam into all naturaopathic healing.My sister is studying to be a doctor she has shown me so much about natural healing. A natural antibiotic you can buy at the health food store is Collidal silver. Also Kyolic odorless garlic taken along with this boosts its effectiveness. Cleanse the bowels regularly. Yes that is what I said you need a all natural gentle colon cleanse. Our colon is about 70-75% of our immune system. You can buy one of these at the health food market also. I use green tea with lemon and raw honey right from the beehive for throat, cough and cold issues. Plus you can buy a variety of natural remedies in the NFS also. Im really not full of bolony these things really do work.
2 months is too long to have a cough and cold for. Go to your doctors asap.

Answer:
Your nasal passage is connected to your throat.
It was draining down your nasal passage and out your mouth. I bet you was swallowing alot to.
I had 2 seizure-like experience. Having EEG & MRI done. What's the difference?
Anyone know anything about this? Waves of radiating pain go through my body along with the chills, muscle spasms, dizziness, throat feels like its closing, dry-heaving and vomiting. Any experience with this. I also had some bloodwork done.
Answer:
An eeg meaures the electrical activity of the brain. They place electrodes on the head.
An MRI gives a picture, somewhat like a CT scan but with better definition. It can detect anatomical landmarks and abnormalities.

I got stung or bit by something?
today i went fishing with my dad and brother and to get down to the river we had to walk through tall grass and my arm brushed up against some plant and it immediantly started to sting and itch, when we got to a clear spot i looked at my arm and it was red and there were white bumps all over the red spot my dad just gave me a peice of ice from the cooler to rub on it and it helped take the sting out a little . that was 5 hours ago and my arm still has a little bit of stinging feeling and the spot is still red but the white bumps went away.what type of plant would cause this? how can i get the stinging feeling to go away?
Answer:
Pioson Ivy, or Pioson oak. Pioson ivy is a tall plant with many branches. On each branch, There are five, smooth leaves. Pioson oak is different. It is a shorter plant with branches, and usually it has little prickles on the stem. On the branches, there are Three, jagged leaves. Poison oak usually comes in clusters, though it can be in a thick straight line.
The reason it stings is becuase you are scratching it raw. That, will not go away unless you dont scratch it long enough for it to heal over. After Scratching, immeidiently wash hands before touching any part of the body or it will spread. When redness reduces, if it is sore and painful, it might be infected. If so, Take a cloth that has been put in hot water, and press it against infected area for 5 minutes 2 daily, for 2 days. Also, keep rewetting the cloth. After you press it against your leg for 5 minutes, put antibiotic oinment on it.
Hope that helps!
I'd say poison ivy, poison oak, or poison sumac.
get over it baby
Poison oak or poison ivy
use Aveeno
Poison ivy, poison sumac, or golden rod. Just put some calamine lotion on it and it will be gone in a couple of days...
I think it was poison ivy or poison oak but I would have your doctor look at it if the stinging lasts more than 2 days.
The reaction caused by poison ivy, urushiol-induced contact dermatitis, is an allergic reaction. Some people simply do not have an allergy to urushiol. Around 15%[1] to 30%[2] of people are immune to the effects; however, sensitivity can develop over time with repeated exposure. For those who are affected by urushiol, it causes a very irritating rash. In extreme cases, corticosteroids can be needed to treat rashes and severe itching. The first symptom of contact is a severe itching of the skin that develops into reddish colored inflammation or non-colored bumps, and then blistering of the skin occurs. In severe cases, clear fluids ooze from open blistered sores. Once the urushiol poison has had contact with the skin, it is quickly bound to the skin. The poison can be washed off within a short time after contact, but once bound to the skin, it cannot be washed away.
The oozing fluids released by itching blisters do not spread the poison. The appearance of a spreading rash indicates that some areas received more of the poison and reacted sooner than other areas. The blisters and oozing result from blood vessels that develop gaps and leak fluid through the skin; if the skin is cooled, the vessels constrict and leak less.
Applying cool compresses on the affected areas is sometimes adequate for relief. There are several over-the-counter lotions and ointments for treating poison ivy irritation and itchiness. However, in contrast to most allergies, diphenhydramine has no effect on the rash but can provide some relief from the itching. It is taken orally and not applied as a topical cream.[7] There are several prescription medications that are administered for treatment; for example, hydroxyzine hydrochloride (sold as Atarax or Rezine) helps relieve itching and dry blisters. In extreme cases cortisone and prednisone pills or shots are used.
According to the FDA, in case of known contact, exposed skin needs to be cleaned within 10 minutes of contact with rubbing alcohol, then washed with water only (soap can move the urushiol to other parts of the body). After washing the contact area the FDA recommends taking a shower with soap and warm water. When tools and clothing come into contact with the oil, the use of gloves can prevent contact between any oil and the skin. Tools and other objects that have had contact with the oil are cleaned with rubbing alcohol and water.[8]
It may have poison oak or ivy. Or possibly a bite.
What you need to do is take an antihistamine. Dont use any creams or lotions of any kind as it may irritate it more.
Clean the areas affected with lukewarm water and then take an oatmeal bath (Aveeno makes one).
Its best to still go see a doctor because you will need to be prescribed a topical ointment.
I seriously doubt it is poison ivy, oak or sumac. These do NOT appear instantly but usually take about 24 hours to appear. You also do not get the rash the first time you come into contact with the plant, it is the second time after you have developed antibodies. The fluid that oozes from poison ivy etc is not from the blood vessels, it is lymph fluid from the lymphatic system just like the fluid found in a blister. Being a country girl and a paramedic I have a pretty good idea you got into a patch of nettles, a pokey bush that causes pain, itching and a rash. Do NOt use calamine, it will overdry and draw the skin making the rash worse. You can, however, take an antihistamine for the itch.

I got my wisdom teeth removed...?
i just got my wisdom teeth removed about 4 hours ago and it hurts like hell! my face has swelled up to the size of like a watermelon.it feels like my jaw is broken and i cant even speak a word. how long till the swelling goes away? how long until it heals? how long until the pain goes away? should i call my dentist if it still hurts tomorrow? i really want to eat but i cant even close or open my mouth. i cant drink anything without it coming out of my mouth. what do i do?
Answer:
Relax. Just take those pain meds they gave you. And try to sleep. Best thing for the first day. Mine were not that deep so I was good to go the next day. I went to work 2 days after they took them out. Felt great...looked like a chipmunk though. lol. You will not be able to open you mouth all the way for a week! Just keep opening it as much as you can a couple times a day.when the pain stops that is. ICE use ice...it will bring down the swelling and helps the pain to go away in that area. Just make sure that you change the stuff they put in your mouth and don't spit; it will open the cuts and the bleeding will start again. Speaking of which, don't drink the blood and the yellow stuff. It will make you sick. But all that sounds like how I felt after four hours. Not a fun time, but it will pass. Good luck.
Eat cold stufff
Take the pain pills they should have given you and you should be fine by Monday morning. You may still have a dull ache then but you will be fine by Monday.
Did they give you any drugs for pain? If not, call them right now and get something that will pretty much just make you want to sleep for a couple days-- being unconscious is much better than being miserable.
For now use pain killers and it should be better by tomorrow
you should take a pain killer and try to go to sleep thats what i did when I got four teeth pulled i know it isn't the same but my friend got hers removed and she did the same thing but it hurt her for alomost 2 weeks.
you will feel it for a few days. Whatever you do don't drink out of a straw...you can dislodge the clots and form dry sockets...if you think you are in pain now a dry socket will be the end of you
you did not say if you had stitches or not. you should have mild to moderate pain after extractions and the dds should have given you pain meds. cold drinks and soft foods like icecream, yogurt, eggs, soup...not hot!!! if you have no stitches anything hot could dislove the blood clot, also no smoking or drinking through a straw, no persing your lips. the clot forms on the top of the site and needs to heal. you will be fine. rest and all the cold drinks will help you. good luck to you
You should call your dentist did they give you any discharge instructions? Did they give you anything for pain? I know when my sister-in laws jaw was broken she use to get baby food (fruit) and drink it through a straw, but that would probably hurt you too. Hope you feel better but you need to call the dentist
1] take a pain killer every 8 hours for the next two days. If the doc didn't give you one, call him and take a motrin while you are waiting.Tell him how big your face is - like, cheeks wider than
your forehead?
2] wrap some frozen veggies on a ziploc bag, cover with a paper towel, and ice your face! 20 minutes on, 20 minutes off, for the next two days.
3] Don't use a straw! Use a teaspoon to eat tiny amounts of liquids or soft solids - ice cream, pudding, mashed potatoes,
pureed veg or meat [ nothing with chunks ].
P.S. my face did the same thing - I couldn't even get a shirt over my head, and looked like I had been in a terrible car accident. I lost ten pounds in two weeks.
