Consult your doctor if diarrhea is accompanied by vomiting and lasts for more than 24 hours. Pain in the ear can be caused by a number of mechanical and pressure related problems, by a bacterial or viral infection resulting from cold or sore throat, or by the build-up of ear wax. Earaches often start at night, and can be accompanied by fever. They can lead to severe infection and permanent ear damage and should always be investigated by a doctor. Fungal infections usually affect the skin, though they can spread to internal organs.
Common examples are athlete's foot, jock itch, thrush, yeast infections, ringworm, and dandruff.
When the nails are affected, they typically turn white and crumbly. Fungal infection are more likely in those with low immunity, particularly taking antibiotics that kill off the natural bacteria that prevent fungi from multiplying. Garlic is an effective antifungal agent. Use liberally in cooking. For athlete's foot, soak feet regularly for at least 30 minutes in a strong infusion of goldenseal root.
