Question: Is there a vaccine for pneumonia?
Answer: There are 2 types: pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine ( PPSV23) for adults and the pneumococcal conjugate vaccine ( PCV13) for children.
Question: How can I avoid complications of the flu?
Answer: Other serious symptoms include: Fever with shaking chills Coughing with blood-tinged mucus from the lungs Trouble breathing Rapid breathing Shortness of breath Chest pains Wheezing Many can be managed. But some, depending on how weak your immune system is, can't be prevented. If you do get the flu, call your doctor within 48 hours after your symptoms show up. Ask about a flu antiviral drug. If you get them early enough, they can help ease your symptoms and help you get well sooner.
Question: How long does pneumonia last?
Answer: It can hang around for about 2 weeks, or even longer in young children, elderly adults, and those who have weakened immune systems or ongoing illness like COPD or asthma. Even healthy people may feel tired or weak for a month or more after their lungs clear up.
Question: Who should get vaccinated for pneumonia?
Answer: There are 2 types: pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine ( PPSV23) for adults and the pneumococcal conjugate vaccine ( PCV13) for children. The adult vaccine protects against 23 types of bacteria that commonly cause pneumonia. Doctors suggest that healthy seniors over 65 get both vaccines. The timing and sequence in which you get them will vary depending on what vaccines you've already had. Some experts say adults younger than 55 should get both vaccines to boost their immune system. The pneumonia vaccine isn't recommended for pregnant women.

Question: How long will I need treatment for alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency?
Answer: You'll need these treatments for the rest of your life.
Question: What are questions that I may ask to my doctor if I have alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency?
Answer: You might start with these: Have you treated other people with AAT deficiency? How can I protect my lungs and liver? What treatment do you suggest? How will we know how I'm doing? Should I get my children tested for this condition?
Question: What are symptoms of liver problems caused by alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency?
Answer: Other warning signs include: Feeling tired Your heart beats fast when you stand up Weight loss If AAT deficiency causes problems with your liver, you could have symptoms like: Yellowish skin or eyes Swollen belly or legs Coughing up blood A newborn baby might have: Jaundice, a yellow tint to the skin or eyes Yellow urine Trouble gaining weight An enlarged liver Bleeding from the nose or umbilical stump It's rare, but some people also get a skin disease called panniculitis. It causes hardening of the skin along with painful lumps or patches.
Question: How is alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency treated?
Answer: Although there's no cure for AAT deficiency, you can raise the amount of AAT protein in your blood, which protects you against more lung damage. Doctors call this augmentation therapy. You may also have this treatment if you get emphysema. Augmentation therapy is also called replacement therapy. You get a new supply of AAT protein that comes from the blood of healthy human donors. The goal of augmentation therapy is to slow or stop the damage in your lungs. It won't reverse the disease or heal any damage you already have.
Question: How does my doctor diagnose alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency?
Answer: Your doctor will also listen to your breathing with a stethoscope to check for wheezing or other signs that your lungs aren't working right. They also look to see how much of the protein you have in your bloodstream. Your doctor will also tests your lungs and liver to see how much damage the condition has caused.
Question: What causes alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency?
Answer: Alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency runs in families. If you have it, you got it from faulty genes that both your parents passed down to you. The broken genes you get from your parents cause you to have a low level of AAT protein in your blood. It can build up in the liver instead of going into your bloodstream. That buildup in your liver causes liver disease. The shortage of AAT protein in your bloodstream leads to lung disease.
Question: What might my doctor ask to see if I have alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency?
Answer: You may feel short of breath, especially when you try to exercise. Have you been getting a lot of colds or lung infections? Have you lost weight lately? Have you noticed any yellowing of your skin or eyes?

Question: What are bronchodilators for treating asthma?
Answer: Bronchodilators: These medications relax the muscle bands that tighten around the airways. This action rapidly opens the airways, letting more air in and out of the lungs and improving breathing. As the airways open, the mucus moves more freely and can be coughed out more easily.
Question: What is adult-onset asthma?
Answer: !s_sensitive, chron ID: $('article embeded_module[type=video][align=top]:eq(0)').attr('chronic_id'), continuous Play: true, cp Options: { flyout: true }, display Ads: true, mode: 'in-article', sticky: true }) }); }); } else { $(function(){ $('.responsive-video-container').remove(); }); } When asthma symptoms appear and are diagnosed in adults older than age 20, it is typically known as adult-onset asthma. About half of adults who have asthma also have allergies.

Question: How can a methacholine challenge test diagnose adult-onset asthma?
Answer: Performing a methacholine challenge test; this asthma test may be performed if your symptoms and spirometry test do not clearly show asthma. When inhaled, methacholine causes the airways to spasm and narrow if asthma is present.
Question: Who's more likely to have asthma?
Answer: Anyone can get asthma at any age. Among those at higher risk for asthma are people who: Have a family history of asthma Have a history of allergies (allergic asthma) Have smokers living in the household Live in urban areas Asthma is classified into four categories based upon frequency of symptoms and objective measures, such as peak flow measurements and/or spirometry results.
Question: What is mild intermittent asthma?
Answer: Symptoms occur less than twice a week, and nighttime symptoms occur less than two times per month. Lung function tests are 80% or more above predicted values. These medications need to be taken daily, and may need to be taken for several weeks before they begin to control asthma.
Question: How can anti-inflammatories treat asthma?
Answer: There are two main types of asthma medications: Anti-inflammatories: This is the most important type of medication for most people with asthma. Anti-inflammatory medications, such as inhaled steroids, reduce swelling and mucus production in the airways. If taken every day, they are helpful in controlling or preventing asthma flares.
Question: What is moderate persistent asthma?
Answer: These categories are: mild intermittent; mild persistent; moderate persistent; and severe persistent. Lung function tests are 80% or more above predicted values. Nocturnal symptoms greater than five times per month. Asthma symptoms affect activity, occur more than two times per week, and may last for days.

Question: How is urethritis related to painful intercourse treated?
Answer: Urethritis and urethral syndrome: With this condition, a woman may urinate frequently with urgency, pain, and difficulty, but a urinalysis can find no identifiable bacteria. These symptoms may be caused by chronic inflammation of the urethra (the tube through which urine exits the body), from muscle spasms, anxiety, low estrogen levels, or a combination of these causes. Using a special instrument, the doctor may dilate the urethra if it is narrowed. The doctor may prescribe low-dose antibiotics. At times, antidepressants and antispasmodics may also be prescribed.
Question: What is the treatment for deep thrust pain during intercouse?
Answer: Treatment for deep thrust pain includes two strategies: Checking for pelvic adhesions (tissue that has become stuck together, sometimes developing after surgery) that may cause pain with intercourse and surgically removing them. Checking for ovarian cysts, pelvic inflammatory disease , endometriosis, uterine prolapse, or retroversion of the uterus (uterus is tilted backward instead of forward).
Question: How is interstitial cystitis related to painful intercourse treated?
Answer: A cystoscopy is a procedure to look inside the bladder and may distend (stretch) the bladder to examine the bladder wall. Cystoscopy often works to clear the condition. Other treatments include amitriptyline ( Elavil), nifedipine ( Procardia), pentosan polysulfate sodium ( Elmiron), or other prescription drugs. Other options include bladder washings with dimethyl sulfoxide ( DMSO) or other agents or transcutaneous electric stimulation ( TENS) and acupuncture.

Question: What are the symptoms of normal-tension glaucoma?
Answer: You're more likely to get this type of glaucoma if you: Have a family history of the condition Are of Japanese descent Have ever had heart disease You might not notice any problem in the early stages. Glaucoma is sometimes called a "silent thief of sight." Your optic nerve is like an electric cable. It's made up of more than a million tiny fibers, or "wires." As the nerve fibers die, you'll begin to get blind spots in your vision. But you may not notice them until most of your optic nerve fibers are dead. Without treatment, the first sign of normal-tension glaucoma is often the loss of your peripheral, or side, vision. You might start to miss things out of the corner of your eye. As the condition gets worse, your vision narrows. It's as if you're looking through a tunnel. If all the fibers in your optic nerve die, you become blind.
Question: How can surgery help with normal-tension glaucoma?
Answer: Surgery If medicines and laser treatments don't control your eye pressure, your doctor may talk to you about different surgery options. One procedure, called a trabeculectomy, creates a new opening in the white of your eye (or sclera) for fluid to drain. Or you might be able to get a tiny drainage tube implanted in your eye to reduce pressure.
Question: How can laser treatment help with normal-tension glaucoma?
Answer: Laser Treatment An eye surgeon will use a laser to unclog and open the drain holes in your eye. This way, fluid can flow out more easily and eye pressure will be reduced. You can get the laser treatment done in your ophthalmologist's office or an outpatient surgery center.
Question: How can eye drops help with normal-tension glaucoma?
Answer: Eye Drops These are usually the first step in glaucoma treatment. Some prescription drops cause your eye to make less fluid. That helps lower pressure. Other drops help the fluid drain from your eye better.
Question: What are feeding questions you may have at your baby's 2-month checkup?
Answer: Should my baby be nursing less often now? When is it time to start solid food?
Question: What are feeding tips for a baby?
Answer: Continue to feed your baby when she wants to be fed, about 7 to 8 times a day. Your baby may be going longer between feedings and have fewer poopy diapers, and that's okay. Spitting up is common. Holding your baby upright in your arms, in a swing, or in a car seat for about 30 minutes after feeding may help. Make sure you continue to burp her after each feeding. Don't give your baby infant cereal, juice, or other solids yet. Her digestive system is not ready. And NO water. Breast milk or formula is all your baby needs right now!
Question: What are the combination immunizations your baby will get at the 2-month checkup?
Answer: These may include: DTa P (diphtheria, tetanus, acellular pertussis) Hib (haemophilus influenzae type b) IPV (polio vaccine) PCV (pneumococcal conjugate vaccine) HBV (hepatitis B) RV (rotavirus) Remember, these vaccines are safe, and your baby really needs them to protect her from many life-threatening illnesses, such as pertussis or whooping cough.
Question: What are questions your baby's doctor may ask at the baby's 2-month checkup?
Answer: Is your baby getting tummy time? Can your baby hold her head up sometimes? Has your baby smiled yet? Is your baby alert to sounds? Is your baby stretching and moving her arms and legs well?
Question: What are sleeping questions you may have at the baby's 2-month checkup?
Answer: I'm so tired -- when will my baby sleep through the night? How can I help my baby learn to go to sleep on her own?

Answer: Holding your baby upright in your arms, in a swing, or in a car seat for about 30 minutes after feeding may help. To encourage night sleep, change or feed your baby at night with low lights on and don't play with your baby right before bed. This way, your baby knows it's time to sleep, not play. To help your baby go to sleep on her own, put your baby down when she's drowsy, not overly tired. This is also a great time to start talking to your baby. She'll be fascinated by your voice and will likely respond with coos and smiles! And enjoy every moment -- your baby will change quickly!
