Answer: Once your doctor determines the specific type of headache your child is having, you can work together to create a treatment plan to help her feel better.
Question: Are child migraines heritable?
Answer: About 7 out of 10 kids who have migraine have a mom, dad, or sibling with a history of them. Similar things -- like fatigue, bright lights, and changes in weather -- might even trigger their attacks.
Question: How will medications help treat my child's headache?
Answer: Medications: Many of the medicines that treat adult headaches are fine in smaller doses to treat headaches in children and teens. But never give aspirin to a child under age 19. It can cause Reye's syndrome, a rare but fatal condition in young kids. Your child may need prescription medications to help certain headaches, especially migraine headaches. Some meds treat symptoms when they strike. Others help prevent future headaches. It can take some time to find a headache treatment that works. Tell your doctor what helps your child and what doesn't.
Question: What should I expect after starting treatment for my child's headache?
Answer: Take your child to a doctor right away if any of these symptoms occur with a headache: Loss of vision Vomiting Muscle weakness Any symptoms that cause your child to awaken during the night In young children headaches located in the back of the head Your child's doctor will examine her and ask questions about the headaches, including the type of pain, how often they happen, and if anything makes them better or worse. Once you learn what your child's headache triggers are, you can help her avoid them. If your child's symptoms get worse or happen more often even with treatment, ask the doctor to refer you to a headache specialist.
Question: What over-the-counter medications can treat headaches in children?
Answer: You and your child will need to be as specific as possible. If your child's headaches aren't happening with any other symptoms, you may wish to try some home remedies or over-the-counter pain relievers first to ease the pain. Don't give it to her more than 2 days in a week; it could lead to rebound headaches.
Question: Are natural headache remedies used to treat headaches in children?
Answer: If your child's headaches aren't happening with any other symptoms, you may wish to try some home remedies or over-the-counter pain relievers first to ease the pain. A single dose of over-the-counter acetaminophen or ibuprofen may ease the pain of both tension and migraine headaches. They include: Vitamin B2.
Question: Who is more likely to get acute angle glaucoma?
Answer: This can normally happen when you: Go into a dark room Get drops that dilate your eyes Are excited or stressed Take certain drugs like antidepressants, cold medications, or antihistamines Some health conditions can also cause angle closure glaucoma: Cataracts Ectopic lens (when your lens moves from where it should be) Diabetic retinopathy Ocular ischemia (narrowed blood vessels to the eye) Uveitis (eye inflammation) Tumors Women are 2 to 4 times more likely to get it than men. You're also more likely to have it if you're: Asian or Inuit Farsighted Between 55 and 65 Or if you: Have a family history of it Use medications that dilate your pupils Use other medications that cause your iris and cornea to come together, like sulfonamides, topiramate, or phenothiazines If you have acute angle closure glaucoma in one eye, you're also more likely to get it in the other.
Question: How does an ophthalmologist diagnose angle closure glaucoma?
Answer: If you think you have acute angle closure glaucoma, you'll need to see an ophthalmologist right away -- it's an emergency. She'll examine you and ask about your symptoms. Tonometry: This test uses a tool to measure the pressure inside your eye. Ophthalmoscopy: Your doctor checks for damage to your optic nerve with a small lighted device. Your doctor can keep tabs on pressure levels and how well fluid drains.
Question: What is acute angle closure glaucoma?
Answer: It stops fluid from flowing through them, kind of like a piece of paper sliding over a sink drain. The pressure that builds up can damage your optic nerve. If you don't treat the problem quickly enough, you could lose your sight completely. Even if your acute angle closure glaucoma is in only one eye, your doctor will probably treat both eyes, just to be safe.
Question: Why is an esophageal pH test done?
Answer: The procedure is commonly used to help confirm the diagnosis of GERD or to identify the cause of various symptoms, including: Heartburn , primarily in patients who have had a normal endoscopy and who have failed medical treatment or may be considered as candidates for surgery Uncommon symptoms of GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease), such as chest pain, chronic cough, asthma, and other throat symptoms The test may also be performed to evaluate the effectiveness of current treatments for heartburn or reflux.
Question: How is an esophageal pH test done?
Answer: The equipment used in the esophageal p H test consists of a small probe that is inserted through your nostril and positioned near the lower esophagus. The probe is plugged into a small unit (or monitor) worn on your belt or over your shoulder. A newer, wireless device may make monitoring the p H level easier: Instead of having to have a tube placed down your nose for 24 hours, your doctor will place a disposable capsule into the esophagus using an endoscope. The capsule then wirelessly transmits information for up to 48 hours to a receiver worn around the waist.
Question: What is an esophageal pH test?
Answer: The esophageal p H test is an outpatient procedure performed to measure the p H or amount of acid that flows into the esophagus from the stomach during a 24-hour period.
Question: What problems can you get from crooked teeth and misaligned bites?
Answer: Crooked teeth and misaligned bites can: Interfere with proper chewing. Make keeping teeth clean more of a challenge, increasing the risk of tooth decay, cavities, and gingivitis. Strain the teeth, jaws, and muscles, increasing the risk of breaking a tooth. Make people feel self-conscious about their appearance and affect their self-esteem.
Question: What causes crooked teeth?
Answer: There are several reasons why some people's teeth grow in crooked, overlapping, or twisted. Some people's mouths are too small for their teeth, which crowds the teeth and causes them to shift. In other cases, a person's upper and lower jaws aren't the same size or are malformed, resulting in either an overbite, when there is excessive protrusion of the upper jaw, or an under bite, when the lower jaw protrudes forward causing the lower jaw and teeth to extend out beyond the upper teeth.
Question: What causes misaligned bites or crooked teeth?
Answer: Most often crooked teeth, overbites, and underbites are inherited traits just as the color of your eyes or size of your hands. Other causes of misaligned bites are early loss of baby or adult teeth; improper fit of dental restorations (for example, fillings or crowns); gingivitis (gum disease); undue pressure on the teeth and gums; misalignment of the jaw after an injury; tumors of the mouth or jaw; or common oral health problems in children such as thumb sucking, tongue thrusting, pacifier use beyond the age of three, or prolonged use of a bottle.
Question: Where are asbestos normally found?
Answer: It sometimes lurks in older homes in places like steam pipes or tiles. It's not a hazard unless the material gets damaged and releases fibers. Hire a trained professional if you need to repair or remove it.
Question: How can I check how much radon is in my home?
Answer: You can check how much of it is in your home with a detection kit, or you can hire a professional to do it. If the levels are too high, it's a good idea to work with a contractor who has experience with this issue. He may seal cracks in your floors and walls and use other techniques to help lower the amount of the gas in your home.
Question: How can diet cause lung cancer?
Answer: What you put on your plate could affect the health of your lungs. A new study looked at how the glycemic index, which measures how quickly a carbohydrate raises your blood sugar, may be linked with lung cancer risk.
Question: How can I check if a gene mutation will cause me to get lung cancer?
Answer: There aren't any tests to check if you have any of these genetic problems. Your best bet is to avoid things that are known to increase your odds of getting the disease.

Answer: When you breathe it in, the fibers get stuck deep in your lungs and over time may lead to lung cancer. The more you're in contact with asbestos, the higher your risk.
Question: What is radon and where does it come from?
Answer: It's a gas that naturally forms from soil and rock. You can't see, smell, or taste it. Low levels of the stuff are a natural part of the air outdoors, but it's more likely to be a problem inside homes and buildings. It can creep in from the ground through cracks in the floors or walls.
Question: What is asbestos?
Answer: It's a group of minerals that was used in a lot of building supplies and products until researchers found it was harmful.
Question: How can genetic changes result in lung cancer?
Answer: Sometimes changes to the DNA of your lung cells, known as "mutations," can lead to cancer. There are several ways this can happen. For example, you may be born with problems in chromosome number 6 that make you more likely to get lung cancer. Or you may naturally have less of an ability to clear away chemicals from your body that can cause the disease. Another possibility: Your body may be unable to repair damaged DNA, which puts you at higher risk when you come into contact with chemicals that can cause lung cancer.
Question: How can air pollution cause lung cancer?
Answer: In the U. S. dust, smoke, and chemicals in the air cause about 1%-2% of lung cancers. Researchers suspect that polluted air can cause changes in your DNA that may set the stage for a higher risk of the disease. The more air pollution you breathe in, the greater your chances of getting this type of cancer.
Question: What foods may cause lung cancer?
Answer: Researchers in one study found that people who ate a diet with the highest glycemic index had a higher risk of getting the disease. Foods that may be troublesome are white bread, sugary cereal, white rice, pretzels, and popcorn. Healthier choices are whole-wheat bread, oatmeal, sweet potatoes, lentils, and most fruits.
Question: How can someone check to see how much radon is in their home?
Answer: You can check how much of it is in your home with a detection kit, or you can hire a professional to do it.

Question: Why do certain foods cause lung cancer?
Answer: Experts aren't exactly sure why a high-glycemic diet may be connected with lung cancer. One possible reason is that it raises your blood sugar, which increases levels of proteins called insulin-like growth factors. Earlier studies suggest they may play a role in the development of the disease.
Question: How can genes play a role in getting lung cancer?
Answer: Sometimes changes to the DNA of your lung cells, known as "mutations," can lead to cancer. Or you may naturally have less of an ability to clear away chemicals from your body that can cause the disease.
Question: What are some things that can bring on lung cancer for non-smokers?
Answer: There are two types: the stuff a smoker breathes out and the cloud that drifts from a cigarette, pipe, or cigar. Both are bad for you. So even if you wouldn't dream of lighting up a cigarette, you still take in harmful chemicals when you're around someone who does. There are at least 70 kinds in secondhand smoke that can lead to cancer. There are no safe amounts, so try to avoid secondhand smoke as much as you can. Take a pledge to make your home and car tobacco-free zones. Your best bet is to avoid things that are known to increase your odds of getting the disease.
Question: Who can get lung cancer besides smokers?
Answer: But there's more to it than that. The truth is you can get the disease even if you've never put a cigarette to your lips. There are lots of reasons why this can happen, but if you can help cut down your risk. So even if you wouldn't dream of lighting up a cigarette, you still take in harmful chemicals when you're around someone who does.
Question: How can someone get lung cancer with radon?
Answer: The gas is the second most common cause of the disease besides smoking. When you breathe it in, the fibers get stuck deep in your lungs and over time may lead to lung cancer. Another possibility: Your body may be unable to repair damaged DNA, which puts you at higher risk when you come into contact with chemicals that can cause lung cancer.
Question: What can increase your risk for colorectal cancer?
Answer: Overall, only about 4.2% of men in the U. S. develop colorectal cancer, but several factors increase your risk: Age: Your risk of colorectal cancer goes up as you age. It is much more common to get it after age 50, but studies are showing a colon cancer rise in younger adults. Family History: If people in your immediate family or near relations had colorectal cancer at a young age, you should be screened earlier. Previous Colorectal Cancer: If you've had cancer removed already, you're at higher risk to develop a new one. Inflammatory Bowel Disease: If you have had a condition such as Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis for several years, your risk of colorectal cancer goes up.

They include: Drinking more than two alcoholic drinks per day Obesity Smoking Type 2 Diabetes A high-fat diet, with fat coming mostly from meat What Is Colorectal Cancer?
Question: Is the bird flu going to be the next flu pandemic?
Answer: While experts say it's inevitable that sooner or later we'll see another flu pandemic, it's by no means certain that the current bird flu virus will be the cause. Even if a new human flu emerges, public health officials might be able to contain it. H5 N1 is susceptible to the newer flu drugs. And a vaccine already has been created and stockpiled by the World Health Organization.
Question: How could the bird flu become airborne or more of a risk to humans?
Answer: If a person -- or a susceptible animal -- gets infected with bird flu and human flu at the same time, the bird and human flu viruses could swap genes. Even without swapping genes, H5 N1 could mutate into a form that more easily infects humans. The lab-created H5 N1 mutants remain in high-security labs. But the mutations needed to make H5 N1 an airborne, human virus already exist in H5 N1 viruses seen in nature. So far, the full set of mutations has not appeared in the same virus.
Question: What is the bird flu?
Answer: Currently, a particularly deadly strain of bird flu -- H5 N1 -- continues to spread among poultry in Egypt and in certain parts of Asia. People catch bird flu by close contact with birds or bird droppings.
Question: How is a visual urinalysis done?
Answer: One is a visual exam, which checks the color and clarity. If your pee has blood in it, it might be red or dark brown. Foam can be a sign of kidney disease, while cloudy urine may mean you have an infection.
Question: When do you get a urinalysis?
Answer: Urinalysis is one way to find certain illnesses in their earlier stages. They include: Kidney disease Liver disease Diabetes Your doctor may also want to test your pee if you're getting ready to have surgery or are about to be admitted to the hospital. Urinalysis can be part of a pregnancy checkup, too.
Question: What is a urinalysis?
Answer: Other names for it are urine test, urine analysis, and UA. You may have a urinalysis as part of a routine check of your overall health, for instance as part of an annual physical. There are three ways to analyze urine, and your test might use all of them.
Question: What does a dipstick urinalysis check for?
Answer: Some of the things that shouldn't be in your urine that a microscope can find include: Red blood cells White blood cells Bacteria Crystals (clumps of minerals â a possible sign of kidney stones) The third part of urinalysis is the dipstick test, which uses a thin plastic strip treated with chemicals. It's dipped into your urine, and the chemicals on the stick react and change color if levels are above normal. Things the dipstick test can check for include: Acidity, or p H. If the acid is abnormal, you could have kidney stones, a urinary tract infection ( UTI) or another condition. Protein. This can be a sign your kidneys are not working right. Kidneys filter waste products out of your blood. Glucose. A high sugar content is a marker for diabetes. White blood cells. These are a sign of infection or inflammation, either in the kidneys or anywhere else along urinary tract. If this waste product, which is normally eliminated by your liver, shows up, it may mean your liver isn't working properly. Blood in your urine. Sometimes this is a sign of infections or certain illnesses.
Question: What does a microscopic urinalysis check for?
Answer: One is a visual exam, which checks the color and clarity. Some of the things that shouldn't be in your urine that a microscope can find include: Red blood cells White blood cells Bacteria Crystals (clumps of minerals â a possible sign of kidney stones) The third part of urinalysis is the dipstick test, which uses a thin plastic strip treated with chemicals.
Question: What are the symptoms of hypertension?
Answer: Hypertension symptoms? Often there aren't any. High blood pressure is often called the "silent" disease, because it may have no noticeable symptoms.
Question: What is tarextumab for treating small-cell lung cancer (SCLC)?
Answer: These âcheckpointsâ prevent them from killing cancer cells.
Question: When do you get immunotherapy for small-cell lung cancer (SCLC)?
Answer: But SCLC is an aggressive disease that grows quickly. It often becomes resistant to the chemotherapy drugs. Most of the time, the cancer returns. That's when it's time to try immunotherapy. Because scientists are still studying the drugs, doctors are careful about when to prescribe them. They can cause serious side effects, like inflammation of the organs. Your doctor will weigh the pros and cons. Most people get immunotherapy after two or more rounds of chemotherapy.
Question: Can doctors prescribe immunotherapies for small-cell lung cancer (SCLC)?
Answer: What Is Immunotherapy? There are a few FDA-approved immunotherapy drugs for SCLC. Because scientists are still studying the drugs, doctors are careful about when to prescribe them. How Do You Get the Treatment?

Answer: You might take this immune checkpoint inhibitor along with chemotherapy. Your doctor will decide how long you'll get this medication.
Question: What is nivolumab (Opdivo) for treating small-cell lung cancer (SCLC)?
Answer: Scientists have developed drugs to help your immune system target and destroy cancerous cells. You might take this immune checkpoint inhibitor along with chemotherapy.
Question: How can your doctor find out what treatment for small-cell lung cancer (SCLC) is best for you?
Answer: Immune checkpoint inhibitors target these proteins and allow immune cells to attack the cancer. Which Drugs Treat SCLC? You go to your doctor's office, a clinic, or the outpatient unit of a hospital.
Question: What drugs help your immune system to treat small-cell lung cancer (SCLC)?
Answer: They include: Immune checkpoint inhibitors: Some immune cells have proteins that act as off switches. These âcheckpointsâ prevent them from killing cancer cells. Immune checkpoint inhibitors target these proteins and allow immune cells to attack the cancer. Cancer vaccines: These substances kick-start an immune system response. They can prevent or treat certain cancers. Scientists are beginning to study vaccines for SCLC. Most of the time, the cancer returns.
Question: How do you know if you have pustular psoriasis?
Answer: You'll see white bumps filled with pus near or inside red skin blotches.
Question: What is Von Zumbusch pustular psoriasis?
Answer: Pustular psoriasis is a skin disease. Generalized or Von Zumbusch: Red, painful, tender skin blotches show up over a wide area of your body, and pus-filled blisters pop up soon after.
Question: What is annular (ring-shaped) pustular psoriasis?
Answer: Pustular psoriasis is a skin disease. Note the clearly defined, raised bumps on the skin that are filled with pus (pustules). This type of psoriasis may come and go. But in this case, they attack your own skin by mistake. Sometimes, one treatment doesn't do the trick. You may need to combine one or more to feel better.
