Signs of dyslexia can be difficult to recognize before your child enters school, but some early clues may indicate a problem. Once your child reaches school age, your child's teacher may be the first to notice a problem. Severity varies, but the condition often becomes apparent as a child starts learning to read. Before school Signs that a young child may be at risk of dyslexia include: Late talking Learning new words slowly Problems forming words correctly, such as reversing sounds in words or confusing words that sound alike Problems remembering or naming letters, numbers and colors Difficulty learning nursery rhymes or playing rhyming games School age Once your child is in school, dyslexia symptoms may become more apparent, including: Reading well below the expected level for age Problems processing and understanding what is heard Difficulty finding the right word or forming answers to questions Problems remembering the sequence of things Difficulty seeing (and occasionally hearing) similarities and differences in letters and words Inability to sound out the pronunciation of an unfamiliar word Difficulty spelling Spending an unusually long time completing tasks that involve reading or writing Avoiding activities that involve reading Teens and adults Dyslexia signs in teens and adults are a lot like those in children. Some common dyslexia symptoms in teens and adults include: Difficulty reading, including reading aloud Slow and labor-intensive reading and writing Problems spelling Avoiding activities that involve reading Mispronouncing names or words, or problems retrieving words Spending an unusually long time completing tasks that involve reading or writing Difficulty summarizing a story Trouble learning a foreign language Difficulty doing math word problems

If you or someone you're with may be having a stroke, pay particular attention to the time the symptoms began. Some treatment options are most effective when given soon after a stroke begins. Signs and symptoms of stroke include: Trouble speaking and understanding what others are saying. You may experience confusion, slur words or have difficulty understanding speech. Paralysis or numbness of the face, arm or leg. You may develop sudden numbness, weakness or paralysis in the face, arm or leg. This often affects just one side of the body. Try to raise both your arms over your head at the same time. If one arm begins to fall, you may be having a stroke. Also, one side of your mouth may droop when you try to smile. Problems seeing in one or both eyes. You may suddenly have blurred or blackened vision in one or both eyes, or you may see double. Headache. A sudden, severe headache, which may be accompanied by vomiting, dizziness or altered consciousness, may indicate that you're having a stroke. Trouble walking. You may stumble or lose your balance. You may also have sudden dizziness or a loss of coordination.

Signs and symptoms of a tension-type headache include: Dull, aching head pain Sensation of tightness or pressure across the forehead or on the sides and back of the head Tenderness in the scalp, neck and shoulder muscles Tension-type headaches are divided into two main categories — episodic and chronic. Episodic tension-type headaches Episodic tension-type headaches can last from 30 minutes to a week. Frequent episodic tension-type headaches occur less than 15 days a month for at least three months. Frequent episodic tension-type headaches may become chronic. Chronic tension-type headaches This type of tension-type headache lasts hours and may be continuous. If your headaches occur 15 or more days a month for at least three months, they're considered chronic. Tension-type headaches versus migraines Tension-type headaches can be difficult to distinguish from migraines. Plus, if you have frequent episodic tension-type headaches, you can also have migraines. Unlike some forms of migraine, tension-type headaches usually aren't associated with visual disturbances, nausea or vomiting. Although physical activity typically aggravates migraine pain, it doesn't make tension-type headache pain worse. An increased sensitivity to either light or sound can occur with a tension-type headache, but this symptom isn't common.

The most frequent sign of Gilbert syndrome is an occasional yellowish tinge of the skin and the whites of the eyes as a result of slightly higher levels of bilirubin in the blood. In people with Gilbert syndrome, bilirubin levels may increase due to: Illness, such as a cold or the flu Fasting or eating a very low-calorie diet Dehydration Menstruation Strenuous exercise Stress

Diphtheria signs and symptoms usually begin 2 to 5 days after a person becomes infected. Signs and symptoms may include: A thick, gray membrane covering the throat and tonsils A sore throat and hoarseness Swollen glands (enlarged lymph nodes) in the neck Difficulty breathing or rapid breathing Nasal discharge Fever and chills Tiredness In some people, infection with diphtheria-causing bacteria causes only a mild illness — or no obvious signs and symptoms at all. Infected people who stay unaware of their illness are known as carriers of diphtheria. They're called carriers because they can spread the infection without being sick themselves. Skin (cutaneous) diphtheria A second type of diphtheria can affect the skin, causing pain, redness and swelling similar to other bacterial skin infections. Ulcers covered by a gray membrane also may be a sign of skin diphtheria. Although it's more common in tropical climates, diphtheria on the skin also occurs in the United States. It may happen especially among people with poor hygiene who live in crowded conditions.

Scabies symptoms include: Itching, often severe and usually worse at night Thin, wavy tunnels made up of tiny blisters or bumps on the skin Scabies is often found in the skin folds. But scabies can appear on many parts of the body. In adults and older children, scabies is most often found: Between the fingers and toes In the armpits Around the waist Along the insides of the wrists On the inner elbows On the soles of the feet On the chest Around the nipples Around the belly button Around the genitals In the groin area On the buttocks In infants and young children, common sites of scabies usually include the: Fingers Face, scalp and neck Palms of the hands Soles of the feet If you've had scabies before, symptoms may start within a few days of exposure. If you've never had scabies, it can take as long as six weeks for symptoms to start. You can still spread scabies even if you don't have any symptoms yet.

Symptoms of serious heart problems present at birth (congenital heart defects) often appear during the first few days, weeks or months of a child's life. Symptoms of a ventricular septal defect (VSD) depend on the size of the hole and if there are any other heart problems. A small VSD may never cause symptoms. VSD In general, VSD symptoms in a baby may include: VSD Poor eating Slow or no physical growth (failure to thrive) Fast breathing or breathlessness Easy tiring Whooshing sound when listening to the heart with a stethoscope (heart murmur) Symptoms of a ventricular septal defect in adults may include: Shortness of breath, especially when exercising Whooshing sound when listening to the heart with a stethoscope (heart murmur)

Encephalitis may cause many different symptoms including confusion, personality changes, seizures or problems with movement. Encephalitis also may cause changes in sight or hearing. Most people with infectious encephalitis have flu-like symptoms, such as: Headache. Fever. Aches in muscles or joints. Fatigue or weakness. Typically, these are followed by more-severe symptoms over a period of hours to days, such as: Stiff neck. Confusion, agitation or hallucinations. Seizures. Loss of sensation or being unable to move certain areas of the face or body. Irregular movements. Muscle weakness. Problems with speech or hearing. Loss of consciousness, including coma. In infants and young children, signs and symptoms also might include: Bulging in the soft spots of an infant's skull, known as fontanels. Nausea and vomiting. Stiffness affecting the whole body. Poor feeding or not waking for a feeding. Irritability. In cases of autoimmune encephalitis, symptoms may develop more slowly over several weeks. Flu-like symptoms are less common, but can sometimes happen weeks before more-severe symptoms start. Symptoms are different for everyone, but it's common for people to have a combination of symptoms including: Changes in personality. Memory loss. Problems understanding what is real and what is not, known as psychosis. Seeing or hearing things that aren't there. These are called hallucinations. Seizures. Changes in vision. Sleep problems. Muscle weakness. Loss of sensation. Problems walking. Abnormal movements. Bladder and bowel problems.

The typical mole is a small brown spot. But moles come in different colors, shapes and sizes: Color and texture. Moles can be brown, tan, black, blue, red or pink. They can be smooth, wrinkled, flat or raised. They may have hair growing from them. Shape. Most moles are oval or round. Size. Moles are usually less than 1/4 inch (about 6 millimeters) in diameter — the size of a pencil eraser. Those present at birth (congenital nevi) can be bigger than usual, covering part of the face, torso or a limb. Moles can develop anywhere on your body, including your scalp, armpits, under your nails, and between your fingers and toes. Most people have 10 to 40 moles. Many of these develop by age 50. Moles may change or fade away over time. With hormonal changes in adolescence and pregnancy, they may become darker and larger. Clusters of brown spots around the eyes, cheeks and nose are sometimes called flesh moles, but they are actually dermatoses papulosa nigra — a type of seborrheic keratosis, not clusters of pigment-forming cells (nevi). Dermatoses papulosa nigra are more common among Black women. Flesh moles don't carry a risk of melanoma, but they can be treated if you consider them a cosmetic concern. Unusual moles that may indicate melanoma A mole may be a sign of skin cancer if it has irregular borders or an asymmetrical shape or if it changes in color, shape, size or height. This ABCDE guide can help you remember what to watch for: ABCDE A is for asymmetrical shape. One half is unlike the other half. B is for border. Look for moles with irregular, notched or scalloped borders. C is for color. Look for growths that have changed color, have many colors or have uneven color. D is for diameter. Look for new growth in a mole larger than 1/4 inch (about 6 millimeters). E is for evolving. Watch for moles that change in size, shape, color or height. Moles may also evolve to develop new signs and symptoms, such as itchiness or bleeding. Cancerous (malignant) moles vary greatly in appearance. Some may show all of the changes listed above. Others may have only one or two unusual characteristics.

For most people with pseudocholinesterase deficiency, no signs or symptoms of the condition occur until you get the muscle relaxant succinylcholine. This medication is used as part of anesthesia. Signs and symptoms of pseudocholinesterase deficiency include muscle relaxation or muscle paralysis that lasts several hours longer than expected. During that time, you can't move or breathe on your own. The length of time may vary widely among people with this disorder.

Renal artery stenosis often doesn't cause any signs or symptoms until it's advanced. The condition may be discovered incidentally during testing for something else. Your health care provider may also suspect a problem if you have: High blood pressure that begins suddenly or worsens without explanation High blood pressure that begins before age 30 or after age 50 As renal artery stenosis progresses, other signs and symptoms may include: High blood pressure that's hard to control A whooshing sound as blood flows through a narrowed vessel (bruit), which your doctor hears through a stethoscope placed over your kidneys Elevated protein levels in the urine or other signs of a problem with kidney function Worsening kidney function during treatment for high blood pressure Fluid overload and swelling in your body's tissues Treatment-resistant heart failure When to seek medical advice Make an appointment with your doctor if you have any persistent signs or symptoms that worry you.

Signs and symptoms of prescription drug abuse depend on the specific drug. Because of their mind-altering properties, the most misused prescription drugs are: Opioids used to treat pain, such as medicines containing oxycodone (Oxycontin, Percocet) and those containing hydrocodone (Norco) Anti-anxiety medicines, sedatives and hypnotics used to treat anxiety and sleep disorders, such as alprazolam (Xanax), diazepam (Valium) and zolpidem (Ambien) Stimulants used to treat attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and certain sleep disorders, such as methylphenidate (Ritalin, Concerta, others), dextroamphetamine-amphetamine (Adderall XR, Mydayis) and dextroamphetamine (Dexedrine) Signs and symptoms of prescription drug abuse Opioids Constipation Nausea Feeling high Slowed breathing rate Drowsiness Confusion Poor coordination Increased dose needed for pain relief Worsening or increased sensitivity to pain with higher doses Anti-anxiety medicines and sedatives Drowsiness Confusion Unsteady walking Slurred speech Poor concentration Dizziness Problems with memory Slowed breathing Stimulants Increased alertness Feeling high Irregular heartbeat High blood pressure High body temperature Reduced appetite Insomnia Agitation Anxiety Paranoia Other signs Forging, stealing or selling prescriptions Taking higher doses than prescribed Being hostile or having mood swings Sleeping less or more Making poor decisions Being unusually energetic, high or revved up Being drowsy Requesting early refills or continually "losing" prescriptions, so more prescriptions must be written Trying to get prescriptions from more than one prescriber

Frozen shoulder typically develops slowly in three stages. Freezing stage. Any movement of the shoulder causes pain, and the shoulder's ability to move becomes limited. This stage lasts from 2 to 9 months. Frozen stage. Pain might lessen during this stage. However, the shoulder becomes stiffer. Using it becomes more difficult. This stage lasts from 4 to 12 months. Thawing stage. The shoulder's ability to move begins to improve. This stage lasts from 5 to 24 months. For some people, the pain worsens at night, sometimes disrupting sleep.

You may not notice any symptoms at first. However, some women who have an ectopic pregnancy have the usual early signs or symptoms of pregnancy — a missed period, breast tenderness and nausea. If you take a pregnancy test, the result will be positive. Still, an ectopic pregnancy can't continue as normal. As the fertilized egg grows in the improper place, signs and symptoms become more noticeable. Early warning of ectopic pregnancy Often, the first warning signs of an ectopic pregnancy are light vaginal bleeding and pelvic pain. If blood leaks from the fallopian tube, you may feel shoulder pain or an urge to have a bowel movement. Your specific symptoms depend on where the blood collects and which nerves are irritated. Emergency symptoms If the fertilized egg continues to grow in the fallopian tube, it can cause the tube to rupture. Heavy bleeding inside the abdomen is likely. Symptoms of this life-threatening event include extreme lightheadedness, fainting and shock.

Thoracic aortic aneurysms often grow slowly. There are usually no symptoms, making them difficult to detect. Many start small and stay small, although some grow bigger over time. How quickly a thoracic aortic aneurysm may grow is difficult to predict. As a thoracic aortic aneurysm grows, signs and symptoms may include: Back pain Cough Weak, scratchy voice (hoarseness) Shortness of breath Tenderness or pain in the chest Signs and symptoms that a thoracic aortic aneurysm has ruptured or dissected include: Sharp, sudden pain in the upper back that spreads downward Pain in the chest, jaw, neck or arms Difficulty breathing Low blood pressure Loss of consciousness Shortness of breath Trouble swallowing Some aneurysms will never rupture or lead to dissection.

Symptoms of an AVM vary based on where it's found. Often the first symptoms appear after bleeding occurs. Besides bleeding, symptoms can include: AVM Progressive loss of neurological function Headaches Nausea and vomiting Seizures Loss of consciousness Other possible symptoms include: Weak muscles Paralysis in one part of the body Loss of coordination that can cause problems with gait Problems performing tasks that require planning Weakness in the lower extremities Back pain Dizziness Vision problems, including losing part of the field of vision, loss of control of eye movements or swelling of part of the optic nerve Problems with speech or understanding language Unusual sensations including numbness, tingling or sudden pain Memory loss or dementia Hallucinations Confusion Children and teens might have trouble with learning or behavior. One type of AVM called a vein of Galen defect causes symptoms that appear at or shortly after birth. A vein of Galen defect is situated deep inside the brain. Signs can include: AVM A buildup of fluid in the brain that causes enlargement of the head Swollen veins on the scalp Seizures Failure to thrive Congestive heart failure

Foodborne botulism Symptoms of foodborne botulism typically begin 12 to 36 hours after the toxin gets into your body. But depending on how much toxin you consumed, the start of symptoms may range from a few hours to a few days. Symptoms of foodborne botulism include: Trouble swallowing or speaking Dry mouth Facial weakness on both sides of the face Blurred or double vision Drooping eyelids Trouble breathing Nausea, vomiting and stomach cramps Paralysis Wound botulism Symptoms of wound botulism appear about 10 days after the toxin enters your body. Wound botulism symptoms include: Trouble swallowing or speaking Facial weakness on both sides of the face Blurred or double vision Drooping eyelids Trouble breathing Paralysis The area around the wound may not always appear swollen and show a change of color. Infant botulism Problems generally begin 18 to 36 hours after the toxin enters the baby's body. Symptoms include: Constipation, which is often the first symptom Floppy movements due to muscle weakness and trouble controlling the head Weak cry Irritability Drooling Drooping eyelids Tiredness Trouble sucking or feeding Paralysis Certain symptoms don't typically occur with botulism. For example, botulism doesn't usually raise blood pressure or heart rate or cause fever or confusion. Sometimes, though, wound botulism may cause fever. Iatrogenic botulism In iatrogenic botulism — when the toxin is injected for cosmetic or medical reasons — there have been rare occurrences of serious side effects. These may include headache, facial paralysis, and muscle weakness.

Sometimes it's difficult to recognize the difference between a strong-willed or emotional child and one with oppositional defiant disorder. It's common for children to show oppositional behavior at certain stages of development. Symptoms of ODD generally begin during preschool years. Sometimes ODD may develop later, but almost always before the early teen years. Oppositional and defiant behaviors are frequent and ongoing. They cause severe problems with relationships, social activities, school and work, for both the child and the family. ODD ODD Emotional and behavioral symptoms of ODD generally last at least six months. They include angry and irritable mood, argumentative and defiant behavior, and hurtful and revengeful behavior. ODD Angry and irritable mood Angry and irritable mood Often and easily loses temper. Is frequently touchy and easily annoyed by others. Is often angry and resentful. Argumentative and defiant behavior Argumentative and defiant behavior Often argues with adults or people in authority. Often actively defies or refuses to follow adults' requests or rules. Often annoys or upsets people on purpose. Often blames others for their own mistakes or misbehavior. Hurtful and revengeful behavior Hurtful and revengeful behavior Says mean and hateful things when upset. Tries to hurt the feelings of others and seeks revenge, also called being vindictive. Has shown vindictive behavior at least twice in the past six months. Severity Severity ODD can be mild, moderate or severe: ODD Mild. Symptoms occur only in one setting, such as only at home, school, work or with peers. Moderate. Some symptoms occur in at least two settings. Severe. Some symptoms occur in three or more settings. For some children, symptoms may first be seen only at home. But with time, problem behavior also may happen in other settings, such as school, social activities and with friends.

Symptoms of burning mouth syndrome may include: A burning or scalding feeling that most commonly affects your tongue, but also may affect your lips, gums, roof of your mouth, throat or whole mouth. A feeling of dry mouth with increased thirst. Taste changes in your mouth, such as a bitter or metallic taste. Loss of taste. Tingling, stinging or numbness in your mouth. The discomfort from burning mouth syndrome can have several different patterns. It may: Happen every day, with little discomfort when waking up, but become worse as the day goes on. Start as soon as you wake up and last all day. Come and go. Whatever pattern of mouth discomfort you have, burning mouth syndrome may last for months to years. In rare cases, symptoms may suddenly go away on their own or happen less often. Sometimes the burning feeling may be briefly relieved during eating or drinking. Burning mouth syndrome usually doesn't cause any physical changes to your tongue or mouth that can be seen.

The signs and symptoms of HUS may vary, depending on the cause. Most cases of HUS are caused by infection with certain strains of E. coli bacteria, which first affect the digestive tract. The initial signs and symptoms of this form of HUS may include: HUS HUS HUS Diarrhea, which is often bloody Abdominal pain, cramping or bloating Vomiting Fever All forms of HUS — no matter the cause — damage the blood vessels. This damage causes red blood cells to break down (anemia), blood clots to form in the blood vessels and kidney damage. Signs and symptoms of these changes include: HUS Pale coloring, including loss of pink color in cheeks and inside the lower eyelids Extreme fatigue Shortness of breath Easy bruising or unexplained bruises Unusual bleeding, such as bleeding from the nose and mouth Decreased urination or blood in the urine Swelling (edema) of the legs, feet or ankles, and less often in the face, hands, feet or entire body Confusion, seizures or stroke High blood pressure When to see a doctor See your doctor immediately if you or your child experiences bloody diarrhea or several days of diarrhea followed by: Decreased urine output Swelling Unexplained bruises Unusual bleeding Extreme fatigue Seek emergency care if you or your child doesn't urinate for 12 hours or more.

hemolytic-uremic-syndrome

Signs and symptoms of sarcoma include: A lump that can be felt through the skin that may or may not be painful Bone pain A broken bone that happens unexpectedly, such as with a minor injury or no injury at all Abdominal pain Weight loss Causes It's not clear what causes most sarcomas. In general, cancer forms when changes (mutations) happen in the DNA within cells. The DNA inside a cell is packaged into a large number of individual genes, each of which contains a set of instructions telling the cell what functions to perform, as well as how to grow and divide. Mutations might tell cells to grow and divide uncontrollably and to continue living when normal cells would die. If this happens, the accumulating abnormal cells can form a tumor. Cells can break away and spread (metastasize) to other parts of the body. Risk factors Factors that can increase the risk of sarcoma include: Inherited syndromes. Some syndromes that increase the risk of cancer can be passed from parents to children. Examples of syndromes that increase the risk of sarcoma include familial retinoblastoma and neurofibromatosis type 1. Radiation therapy for cancer. Radiation treatment for cancer increases the risk of developing a sarcoma later. Chronic swelling (lymphedema). Lymphedema is swelling caused by a backup of lymph fluid that occurs when the lymphatic system is blocked or damaged. It increases the risk of a type of sarcoma called angiosarcoma. Exposure to chemicals. Certain chemicals, such as some industrial chemicals and herbicides, can increase the risk of sarcoma that affects the liver. Exposure to viruses. The virus called human herpesvirus 8 can increase the risk of a type of sarcoma called Kaposi's sarcoma in people with weakened immune systems.

The most obvious sign of a subconjunctival hemorrhage is a bright red patch on the white (sclera) of your eye. Despite its bloody appearance, a subconjunctival hemorrhage looks worse than it is and should cause no change in your vision, discharge or pain. Your only discomfort may be a scratchy feeling on the surface of the eye.

Signs and symptoms of transverse myelitis usually develop over a few hours to a few days and may sometimes progress gradually over several weeks. Transverse myelitis usually affects both sides of the body below the affected area of the spinal cord, but sometimes there are symptoms on just one side of the body. Typical signs and symptoms include: Pain. Transverse myelitis pain may begin suddenly in your lower back. Sharp pain may shoot down your legs or arms or around your chest or abdomen. Pain symptoms vary based on the part of your spinal cord that's affected. Abnormal sensations. Some people with transverse myelitis report sensations of numbness, tingling, coldness or burning. Some are especially sensitive to the light touch of clothing or to extreme heat or cold. You may feel as if something is tightly wrapping the skin of your chest, abdomen or legs. Weakness in your arms or legs. Some people notice heaviness in the legs, or that they're stumbling or dragging one foot. Others may develop severe weakness or even total paralysis. Bladder and bowel problems. This may include needing to urinate more frequently, urinary incontinence, difficulty urinating and constipation.

Hyperglycemia usually doesn't cause symptoms until blood sugar (glucose) levels are high — above 180 to 200 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL), or 10 to 11.1 millimoles per liter (mmol/L). Symptoms of hyperglycemia develop slowly over several days or weeks. The longer blood sugar levels stay high, the more serious symptoms may become. But some people who've had type 2 diabetes for a long time may not show any symptoms despite high blood sugar levels. Early signs and symptoms Recognizing early symptoms of hyperglycemia can help identify and treat it right away. Watch for: Frequent urination Increased thirst Blurred vision Feeling weak or unusually tired Later signs and symptoms If hyperglycemia isn't treated, it can cause toxic acids, called ketones, to build up in the blood and urine. This condition is called ketoacidosis. Symptoms include: Fruity-smelling breath Dry mouth Abdominal pain Nausea and vomiting Shortness of breath Confusion Loss of consciousness

There are three general types of thoracic outlet syndrome: Neurogenic (neurologic) thoracic outlet syndrome. This most common type of thoracic outlet syndrome is characterized by compression of the brachial plexus. The brachial plexus is a network of nerves that come from your spinal cord and control muscle movements and sensation in your shoulder, arm and hand. Venous thoracic outlet syndrome. This type of thoracic outlet syndrome occurs when one or more of the veins under the collarbone (clavicle) are compressed, resulting in blood clots. Arterial thoracic outlet syndrome. This is the least common type of TOS. It occurs when one of the arteries under the collarbone is compressed, resulting in bulging of the artery, also known as an aneurysm. It's possible to have a mix of the three different types of thoracic outlet syndrome, with multiple parts of the thoracic outlet being compressed. Thoracic outlet syndrome symptoms can vary depending on the type. When nerves are compressed, signs and symptoms of neurogenic thoracic outlet syndrome include: Numbness or tingling in your arm or fingers Pain or aches in your neck, shoulder, arm or hand Weakening grip Signs and symptoms of venous thoracic outlet syndrome can include: Discoloration of your hand (bluish color) Arm pain and swelling Blood clot in veins in the upper area of your body Arm fatigue with activity Paleness or abnormal color in one or more fingers or your hand Throbbing lump near your collarbone Signs and symptoms of arterial thoracic outlet syndrome can include: Cold fingers, hands or arms Hand and arm pain Lack of color (pallor) or bluish discoloration (cyanosis) in one or more of your fingers or your entire hand Weak or no pulse in the affected arm

Children and adults Initially, you may not even notice symptoms of oral thrush. Signs and symptoms may include: Creamy white lesions on your tongue, inner cheeks, and sometimes on the roof of your mouth, gums and tonsils Slightly raised lesions with a cottage cheese-like appearance Redness, burning or soreness that may be severe enough to cause difficulty eating or swallowing Slight bleeding if the lesions are rubbed or scraped Cracking and redness at the corners of your mouth A cottony feeling in your mouth Loss of taste Redness, irritation and pain under dentures (denture stomatitis) In severe cases, usually related to cancer or a weakened immune system from HIV/AIDS, the lesions may spread downward into your esophagus — the long, muscular tube stretching from the back of your mouth to your stomach (Candida esophagitis). If this occurs, you may experience difficulty swallowing and pain or feel as if food is getting stuck in your throat. Infants and breast-feeding mothers In addition to the distinctive white mouth lesions, infants may have trouble feeding or be fussy and irritable. They can pass the infection to their mothers during breast-feeding. The infection may then pass back and forth between the mother's breasts and the baby's mouth. Women whose breasts are infected with candida may experience these signs and symptoms: Unusually red, sensitive, cracked or itchy nipples Shiny or flaky skin on the darker, circular area around the nipple (areola) Unusual pain during nursing or painful nipples between feedings Stabbing pains deep within the breast When to see a doctor If you or your child develops white lesions inside the mouth, see your doctor or dentist. Thrush is uncommon in healthy older children, teenagers and adults, so if thrush develops, see your doctor to determine if further evaluation is needed to check for an underlying medical condition or other cause.

The primary features of ADHD include inattention and hyperactive-impulsive behavior. ADHD symptoms start before age 12, and in some children, they're noticeable as early as 3 years of age. ADHD symptoms can be mild, moderate or severe, and they may continue into adulthood. ADHD ADHD ADHD ADHD occurs more often in males than in females, and behaviors can be different in boys and girls. For example, boys may be more hyperactive and girls may tend to be quietly inattentive. ADHD There are three subtypes of ADHD: ADHD Predominantly inattentive. The majority of symptoms fall under inattention. Predominantly hyperactive/impulsive. The majority of symptoms are hyperactive and impulsive. Combined. This is a mix of inattentive symptoms and hyperactive/impulsive symptoms. Inattention A child who shows a pattern of inattention may often: Fail to pay close attention to details or make careless mistakes in schoolwork Have trouble staying focused in tasks or play Appear not to listen, even when spoken to directly Have difficulty following through on instructions and fail to finish schoolwork or chores Have trouble organizing tasks and activities Avoid or dislike tasks that require focused mental effort, such as homework Lose items needed for tasks or activities, for example, toys, school assignments, pencils Be easily distracted Forget to do some daily activities, such as forgetting to do chores Hyperactivity and impulsivity A child who shows a pattern of hyperactive and impulsive symptoms may often: Fidget with or tap his or her hands or feet, or squirm in the seat Have difficulty staying seated in the classroom or in other situations Be on the go, in constant motion Run around or climb in situations when it's not appropriate Have trouble playing or doing an activity quietly Talk too much Blurt out answers, interrupting the questioner Have difficulty waiting for his or her turn Interrupt or intrude on others' conversations, games or activities Typical developmental behavior vs. ADHD Most healthy children are inattentive, hyperactive or impulsive at one time or another. It's typical for preschoolers to have short attention spans and be unable to stick with one activity for long. Even in older children and teenagers, attention span often depends on the level of interest. The same is true of hyperactivity. Young children are naturally energetic — they often are still full of energy long after they've worn their parents out. In addition, some children just naturally have a higher activity level than others do. Children should never be classified as having ADHD just because they're different from their friends or siblings. ADHD Children who have problems in school but get along well at home or with friends are likely struggling with something other than ADHD. The same is true of children who are hyperactive or inattentive at home, but whose schoolwork and friendships remain unaffected.

Sometimes, these skin marks can be signs of an underlying spinal cord issue that can be discovered with MRI or spinal ultrasound in a newborn. Meningocele. This type may cause problems with bladder and bowel function. Myelomeningocele. In this severe type of spina bifida: The spinal canal remains open along several vertebrae in the lower or middle back Both the membranes and the spinal cord or nerves protrude at birth, forming a sac Tissues and nerves usually are exposed, though sometimes skin covers the sac

Schizotypal personality disorder typically includes five or more of these signs and symptoms: Being a loner and lacking close friends outside of the immediate family Flat emotions or limited or inappropriate emotional responses Persistent and excessive social anxiety Incorrect interpretation of events, such as a feeling that something that is actually harmless or inoffensive has a direct personal meaning Peculiar, eccentric or unusual thinking, beliefs or mannerisms Suspicious or paranoid thoughts and constant doubts about the loyalty of others Belief in special powers, such as mental telepathy or superstitions Unusual perceptions, such as sensing an absent person's presence or having illusions Dressing in peculiar ways, such as appearing unkempt or wearing oddly matched clothes Peculiar style of speech, such as vague or unusual patterns of speaking, or rambling oddly during conversations Signs and symptoms of schizotypal personality disorder, such as increased interest in solitary activities or a high level of social anxiety, may be seen in the teen years. The child may be an underperformer in school or appear socially out of step with peers, which may result in teasing or bullying. Schizotypal personality disorder vs. schizophrenia Schizotypal personality disorder can easily be confused with schizophrenia, a severe mental illness in which people lose contact with reality (psychosis). While people with schizotypal personality disorder may experience brief psychotic episodes with delusions or hallucinations, the episodes are not as frequent, prolonged or intense as in schizophrenia. Another key distinction is that people with schizotypal personality disorder usually can be made aware of the difference between their distorted ideas and reality. Those with schizophrenia generally can't be swayed away from their delusions. Despite the differences, people with schizotypal personality disorder can benefit from treatments similar to those used for schizophrenia. Schizotypal personality disorder is sometimes considered to be on a spectrum with schizophrenia, with schizotypal personality disorder viewed as less severe.

Primary hyperparathyroidism is often diagnosed before signs or symptoms of the disorder occur. This is usually because an elevated level of calcium is found on routine blood tests. When symptoms do occur, they're the result of damage or dysfunction in other organs or tissues. This damage or dysfunction is due to high calcium levels in the blood and urine or too little calcium in bones. Symptoms may be so mild and nonspecific that they don't seem related to parathyroid function, or they may be severe. The range of signs and symptoms include: Weak bones that break easily (osteoporosis) Kidney stones Excessive urination Stomach (abdominal) pain Tiring easily or weakness Depression or forgetfulness Bone and joint pain Frequent complaints of illness with no clear cause Nausea, vomiting or loss of appetite

ADHD is diagnosed only when symptoms are severe enough to cause ongoing problems in more than one area of your life. These persistent and disruptive symptoms can be traced back to early childhood. ADHD ADHD ADHD Diagnosis of ADHD in adults can be difficult because certain ADHD symptoms are similar to those caused by other conditions, such as anxiety or mood disorders. And many adults with ADHD also have at least one other mental health condition, such as depression or anxiety.

Some infants need to spend time in a unit that cares for them and closely tracks their health day and night. This is called a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). A step down from the NICU is an intermediate care nursery, which provides less intensive care. Special nursery units are staffed with health care providers and a team that's trained to help preterm babies. NICU Your baby may need extra help feeding and adapting right after delivery. Your health care team can help you understand what's needed and what your baby's care plan will be. Feel free to ask them questions.
