Question: what is the treatment for a fever?
Answer: generally if the fever does not cause discomfort the fever itself need not be treated. it is not necessary to awaken an adult or child to treat a fever unless instructed to do so by your health-care practitioner. the following fever-reducing medications may be used at home: acetaminophen (tylenol and others) can be used to lower a fever. the recommended pediatric dose can be suggested by the child's health-care provider. adults without liver disease or other health problems can take 1 000 mg (two "extra strength" tablets) every four to six hours or as directed by your physician. ibuprofen (motrin/advil) can also be used to break a fever in patients over 6 months of age. discuss the best dose with your doctor. for adults 400-600 mg (two to three 200 mg tablets) can be used every six hours. aspirin should not be used for fever in children or adolescents. aspirin use in children and adolescents during a viral illness (especially chickenpox and influenza or flu) has been associated with reye syndrome. reye syndrome is a dangerous illness which causes prolonged vomiting confusion and even coma and liver failure. an individual with a fever should be kept comfortable and not overdressed. overdressing can cause the temperature to rise further. tepid water (85 f [30 c]) baths are a home remedy that may help bring down a fever. never immerse someone in ice water. this is a common misconception. never sponge a child or an adult with alcohol; the alcohol fumes may be inhaled causing many problems.

Question: what are the risks of genital herpes?
Answer: genital herpes is rarely life threatening. but having herpes sores makes it easier for hiv the virus that causes aids to enter your body. not only is there an increased risk for getting hiv if you have genital herpes but having the two diseases together may also make each one worse. a pregnant woman can pass genital herpes on to her baby so it's particularly serious during pregnancy. if you get infected near the end of pregnancy the risk is highest. at least 30% and as many as 50% of newly infected pregnant women give the virus to their babies. for moms who were infected long before delivery the risk is much lower. less than 1% of babies born to mothers with an older genital herpes infection get the virus. and if a woman has an outbreak at delivery a cesarean deliver is usually done. you may have heard that genital herpes causes cervical cancer. that's not exactly true. it may be a factor but it's not the main cause. genital herpes is a lifelong condition for which there is no cure. having it can force you to make inconvenient changes in your life particularly in your sex life and it can cause you a lot of pain and discomfort. you simply would rather not have it.

Question: what happens if a pregnant woman has genital herpes?
Answer: pregnant women with genital herpes should be careful about passing the virus on to the baby but not overly worried about it. a mother can infect her baby during delivery often fatally. but if a woman had genital herpes before getting pregnant or if she is first infected early in pregnancy the chance that her baby will be infected is very low -- less than 1%. women with genital herpes are examined carefully for any symptoms before giving birth. if sores or signs that an outbreak is coming show up at the time of delivery the baby may be delivered by cesarean section (also called a c-section). the risk of infecting the baby is high (30% to 50%) when a woman is newly infected late in pregnancy however. that's because the mother's immune system has not developed protective antibodies against the virus. women with an older herpes infection have antibodies against the virus which help protect the baby. if you are pregnant and you think you may have been infected recently tell your doctor right away.

Question: what surgery options do i have for genital herpes?
Answer: there is no need for surgical treatment for genital herpes. but if you are pregnant and genital herpes is diagnosed or suspected at the time of labor and delivery a cesarean section (surgical) delivery may be recommended to protect the baby from getting a herpes simplex infection which can cause serious health problems. a mother can pass the herpes simplex virus (hsv) to her baby if she has a sore or blister present during a vaginal delivery. the biggest risk occurs during a first-time (primary) outbreak of genital herpes. usually in these cases the woman either does not have symptoms or is unaware of symptoms. experts disagree about the use of cesarean section delivery in women with recurrent outbreaks of genital herpes. if a pregnant woman has recurrent outbreaks the risk of passing the virus to her baby is less than 1% because the baby has some immune protection from the mother. 1 cesarean section may be recommended if a woman has symptoms such as tingling or pain (prodromal symptoms) that signal an impending outbreak. for these women acyclovir ( zovirax ) used in the last 4 weeks of pregnancy may reduce the need for delivery by cesarean section by reducing the risk of a recurrent outbreak at the time of delivery. a cesarean section is usually not done if a woman with recurrent genital herpes has blisters or sores only on her thighs buttocks or another area that is not close to the vagina. webmd medical reference from healthwise this information is not intended to replace the advice of a doctor. healthwise disclaims any liability for the decisions you make based on this information. © 1995-2011 healthwise incorporated. healthwise healthwise for every health decision and the healthwise logo are trademarks of healthwise incorporated.

Question: what causes genital herpes?
Answer: genital herpes can be caused by either the herpes simplex virus type 1 (hsv-1) or the herpes simplex virus type 2 (hsv-2). hsv-1 or hsv-2 can cause sores on the lips ( cold sores ) and sores on the genitals. hsv-1 more often causes cold sores. hsv-2 more often causes genital sores. hsv-1 causes up to 50% of primary genital herpes infections. genital herpes caused by hsv-1 has a lower rate of recurrence than that caused by hsv-2. 1 how the herpes virus is spread the same virus that causes genital herpes also can cause cold sores (herpes labialis) so hsv can be spread from a genital sore to the lips or from a cold sore to the genital area. hsv can be spread to or from the genitals anus or mouth during sexual activities or through any direct contact with herpes sores. you become infected when the virus enters your body through a break in the skin or through moist areas (mucous membranes) such as the mouth anus and vagina. even very small breaks in the skin allow the virus to infect the body. newborns can be infected with hsv at birth. this usually happens when a woman has her primary outbreak (the first time she is infected with hsv) close to the time of delivery and the baby is delivered through the vagina. usually in these cases the woman either does not have symptoms or is unaware of symptoms. the chance of passing the virus to the baby is greatly reduced (less than 1% of the time) during recurrent outbreaks which occur after a woman has been infected previously. 1 babies infected with the virus at birth are at risk for serious health problems. contagious period you are most likely to spread hsv when you have a sore or blister during either a primary or recurrent outbreak. but many people who have genital herpes have time periods (a week before and a week after an outbreak) when they can spread the virus even though they do not have blisters or sores present. some people can spread the infection when they do not recognize that they have a genital herpes sore or when they have symptoms (such as painful urination) that are not typical of genital herpes. webmd medical reference from healthwise this information is not intended to replace the advice of a doctor. healthwise disclaims any liability for the decisions you make based on this information. © 1995-2011 healthwise incorporated. healthwise healthwise for every health decision and the healthwise logo are trademarks of healthwise incorporated.

Question: what if my breasts havent grown enough during pregnancy? will this affect milk formation? . also my breast does not seem to be firm its feels loose and saggy yet small.
Answer: i wouldn't worry about how large your breast are currently. they will likely grow some during your later stage of pregnancy as well as when your milk starts coming in after delivery. breast tissue covers a larger area than just the part that sticks out. (sorry for the lack of technical terminology. ) all of your breast tissue contains milk ducts which will fill in with milk after you have your baby. so even if you don't get large breasts does not mean you won't produce enough milk to breast feed. your milk won't come in all at once either. first you will produce small amounts of colostrum and as your baby nurses your body will start to increase milk production. there are breast feeding councilors at the hospital that can give you more indepth answers and would be happy to help you also.

Question: hello i've recently been diagnosed with hep c. i am experiencing mod-severe pain in my back right side is this normal. normally i've been reading about people experiencing abdomen pain. but this pain is in my back a couple inches below my shoulder blade on my right side. heat is the only thing that seems to make it better. i am also 18 weeks pregnant i just found out i caught hep c from the father and i cannot seek treatment until the baby is born. is the pain something i should be worried about or is it normal?
Answer: alone the two conditions listed in your question (pregnancy and hepatitis c) leave a lot of possible explanations for your pain. because you have been diagnosed with hepatitis it is a natural inclination to think of the liver when experiencing right sided pain in the back ( and it could be related to the liver ). but many other system disorders could be also be the cause of your pain. i'll list some possible non- gynecological reasons first: infections of various kinds and too numerous to list upper urinary tract obstruction gastro-intestinal issues thyroid disorders anxiety lyme disease heart & lung irregularities other causes. gynecological reasons may include: endometriosis pelvic congestion pelvic inflammatory disease pre-term labor and delivery miscarriage pelvic organ prolapse other causes. as you can see the possible causes for your pain covers a lot of territory. the reasons cited above are only a small sampling of all possible causes. the best way to determine the root cause of your pain is to visit a doctor. are you receiving pre-natal care? a physician can look at your medical history ask questions perform a physical exam order basic diagnosing tests and refer you to specialists. for your sake and your unborn baby's sake i recommend that you quickly visit your family doctor your ob/gync doctor or hepatic specialist to obtain medical care. it may be true as stated in your question that you cannot receive treatment until after the baby is born. but that fact should not deter you from being evaluated by a medical professional. if you do not have medical insurance to be evaluated most state governments provide for the free health screenings of pregnant women though the department of welfare. there are also many free women's clinics. you may also want to explore eligibility for the women's infants and children program wic. under wic free food is provided to eligible applicants.

Question: is pregnancy considered a "medical condition? "
Answer: this is one question that will likely generate multiple answers with differing positions. it is also likely that no one answer will satisfy all viewers as being totally accurate. a medical condition is sometimes defined as an injury disease or disorder. based upon that definition pregnancy does not appear to be a "medical condition". but others will argue that pregnancy can result in medical complications injury or other disorders and therefore may sometimes be a medical condition. here is an interesting note. in at least one state undocumented aliens had not been not been as a rule eligible for medicaid benefits. but the delivery of the baby from a undocumented alien was considered a "medical emergency" and qualified for medicaid coverage. it really comes down to our own feelings on the subject. many would suggest that pregnancy is a natural act and not a medical condition; others would steadfastly hold to the belief that all pregnant woman require medical monitoring and delivery treatment and therefore pregnancy is a medical condition.

Question: can i become pregnant with a nexplanon due to antibiotic
Answer: the answer is maybe but why take even the remote chance? use a secondary form of birth control while you are taking antibiotics. we do know that antibiotics may decrease the effectiveness of oral contraceptives and nexplanon is just a different delivery system for the hormones used to prevent pregnancy. you are wise to be careful.
