system: How is non-small-cell lung cancer treated?
output: Their goal is to stay ahead of the symptoms and make you as comfortable as possible. Your doctor may suggest a combination of treatments, depending on what kind of cancer you have and where it is. Because of how they work, they usually harm normal cells less than radiation and chemo.
system: Where can you get emotional support for non-small-cell lung cancer?
output: You may feel more comfortable getting a second opinion before deciding on your treatment plan. Look online or in your community, or ask your doctor for suggestions and about other professionals who can help support you -- perhaps social workers, nurses, clergy, or other doctors.

system: How is targeted therapy used to treat non-small-cell lung cancer?
output: Your doctor might put it in your spinal fluid, a specific organ, or a space inside your body to target cancer cells in that area. Because of how they work, they usually harm normal cells less than radiation and chemo.
system: What are common symptoms of non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC)?
output: Or you might mistake them for another illness, such as pneumonia or a collapsed lung. Like other types of lung cancer, symptoms can include: Coughing that lasts or gets worse Chest pain that often hurts more when you cough, laugh, or take deep breaths Hoarseness or voice changes Harsh, raspy sounds when you breathe Wheezing Weight loss, little appetite Coughing up blood or mucus Shortness of breath Feeling weak or tired Lasting lung problems, like bronchitis or pneumonia If the cancer spreads to other parts of the body, you may have: Bone pain Headache Dizziness or balance problems Numbness or weakness in an arm or leg Yellow skin or eyes First, your doctor will talk with you and ask questions like: When did you first notice problems? If it's caught early enough, your cancer may be curable.

system: My child has hemophilia A. What precautions should they take when theyâre active?
output: Just take some precautions: Your child should wear kneepads, elbow pads, and helmets during any activities if they're doing something that might make them fall. Use safety straps in car seats, strollers, and high chairs. Check your home and yard for hazards, like furniture or play equipment with sharp corners. Teach your child about their hemophilia. Let them know when and how to get help so they feel confident, not scared.
system: I have hemophilia A. What can I do to take care of myself?
output: What's your family's medical history? Keep up with your treatment, follow your doctor's advice, and do these four things: Handle injuries correctly. Clean small cuts, scrapes, and injuries. Tell all your health care professionals that you have (or your child has) hemophilia. Exercise makes them stronger, which makes injuries less likely.
system: What are the symptoms of hemophilia A?
output: Hemophilia A can be mild, moderate, or severe, depending on how little you have of factor VIII. Mild hemophilia A. If you're in this group, you may only notice bleeding after a serious injury. In addition to bleeding after an injury, you may also have frequent episodes of bleeding, often into the joints and muscles, without being able to figure out a specific cause.
system: Whereâs the best place to get hemophilia A treatment?
output: The best place to go for treatment is a federally funded hemophilia treatment center ( HTC). You'll work with a team of specialists, such as surgeons, dentists, physical therapists, and social workers who focus on the blood disorder. The goal of treatment is to give you the factor VIII your body doesn't make. That's called replacement therapy. It's not a cure, but it does help control your hemophilia. But there's a 20% to 30% chance your body will reject it. In that case, your doctors may try different sources for factor VIII, or try different amounts.
system: Whoâs most likely to get hemophilia A?
output: Hemophilia A usually runs in families, but about one-third of people with the disease don't have a family history of it. Most women with the troublesome gene are carriers and have no symptoms, but they can pass it to their sons.
system: How can I know if my child has hemophilia?
output: It's rare, but if you have a head bump -- even if it's minor -- and you have any of these symptoms, call your doctor: Prolonged headache Throwing up Sleepiness/tiredness Sudden weakness or problems walking Double vision If you have a family history of hemophilia and are pregnant, tests can tell if your baby has the disease. There are risks though, so you'll want to talk to your doctor about testing. In children, doctors usually diagnose severe cases in the first year of a baby's life. Does your child bruise easily or bleed for longer than normal from small injuries? Make an appointment with your child's doctor. They can tell if it's hemophilia. Once a baby starts moving, crawling, and bumping into things, you may notice raised bruises, especially on places like the stomach, chest, back, and bottom.
system: Where can I get support for hemophilia?
output: And if you're a woman, you'll learn if you're a carrier. The best place to go for treatment is a federally funded hemophilia treatment center ( HTC). The federal government pays for a network of more than 140 hemophilia treatment centers where you can get treatment, education, and other resources you need.
system: What are questions I can ask my doctor about hemophilia?
output: If you or your child is diagnosed with hemophilia, you'll probably have a lot of questions for your doctor, including: How often will you need to visit the doctor? How long is too long to bleed from a small cut? Are some symptoms more serious than others? What are they? Are there over-the-counter medicines you should or shouldn't use? How do you keep your child safe? What can you expect as your child gets older? How do you connect with other families that have kids with this condition? What are the chances your other children will have hemophilia?
system: Does keeping a whitening solution on your teeth longer make your teeth whiter?
output: Generally, the longer you keep a stronger solution on your teeth, the whiter your teeth become. However, the higher the percentage of peroxide in the whitening solution, the shorter it should be applied to the teeth. Keeping the gel on longer will dehydrate the tooth and increase tooth sensitivity.
system: Are there foods and drinks I should avoid if I want to keep my teeth white?
output: Also, avoid acidic and tannin-rich foods and beverages such as: Black teas and coffee White and red wine Sports drinks Carbonated beverages (dark and light-colored sodas) Berries and other strongly-colored foods Sauces (soy, tomato, curries) Tooth bleaching can make teeth temporarily sensitive -- or be uncomfortable for people who already have sensitive teeth.
system: What happens in a thyroid stimulating hormone test?
output: The TSH test involves simply drawing some blood from your body. The blood will then be analyzed in a lab. This test can be performed at any time during the day. No preparation is needed (such as overnight fasting). You shouldn't feel any pain beyond a small prick from the needle in your arm. You may have some slight bruising. In general, there is no need to stop taking your medicine(s) before having your TSH level checked. However, it is important to let the doctor know what medications you are taking as some drugs can affect thyroid function. For example, thyroid function must be monitored if you are taking lithium. While taking lithium, there is a high chance that your thyroid might stop functioning correctly. It's recommended that you have a TSH level test before starting this medicine. If your levels are normal, then you can have your levels checked every 6 to 12 months, as recommended by your doctor. If your thyroid function becomes abnormal, you should be treated.
system: What do high levels of thyroid stimulating hormone mean?
output: TSH levels typically fall between 0.4 and 4.0 milliunits per liter (m U/ L), according to the American Thyroid Association. Ranges between laboratories will vary with the upper limit being between 4 to 5. If your level is higher than this, chances are you have an underactive thyroid. In general, T3 and T4 levels increase in pregnancy and TSH levels decrease.
system: What do low levels of thyroid stimulating hormone mean?
output: This could be caused by: Graves' disease (your body's immune system attacks the thyroid) Too much iodine in your body Too much thyroid hormone medication Too much of a natural supplement that contains the thyroid hormone If you're on medications like steroids, dopamine, or opioid painkillers (like morphine), you could get a lower-than-normal reading. Taking biotin ( B vitamin supplements) also can falsely give lower TSH levels. The TSH test usually isn't the only one used to diagnose thyroid disorders. Other tests, like the free T3, the free T4, the reverse T3, and the anti- TPO antibody, are often used too when determining whether you need thyroid treatment or not.
system: What is a thyroid stimulating hormone test?
output: A TSH test is done to find out if your thyroid gland is working the way it should. It can tell you if it's overactive (hyperthyroidism) or underactive (hypothyroidism). The test can also detect a thyroid disorder before you have any symptoms. If untreated, a thyroid disorder can cause health problems. This gland tells your thyroid to make and release the thyroid hormones into your blood.
system: What is one of the most dangerous aspects of hypertension?
output: In fact, nearly one-third of people who have high blood pressure don't know it. The only way to know if your blood pressure is high is through regular checkups. This is especially important if you have a close relative who has high blood pressure. If your blood pressure is extremely high, there may be certain symptoms to look out for,including: Severe headache Fatigue or confusion Vision problems Chest pain Difficulty breathing Irregular heartbeat Blood in the urine Pounding in your chest, neck, or ears If you have any of these symptoms, see a doctor immediately. You could be having a hypertensive crisis that could lead to a heart attack or stroke.

system: What is the definition of emphysema?
output: This and chronic bronchitis are the two main types of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease ( COPD), the third-leading cause of death in the United States. These conditions are called âobstructiveâ because it's as though something is blocking the smooth flow of air in and out of the lungs.
system: What are the top two causes of emphysema
output: Most of the time, tobacco is the main culprit. AAT deficiency: Alpha-1 antitrypsin ( AAT) is a natural protein that circulates in human blood. If you have AAT deficiency, your normal white blood cells will damage your lungs. The harm is even worse if you smoke. Over time, most people with severe AAT deficiency develop emphysema.
system: What are the different types of echinacea?
output: It's important to note that there are different species of echinacea, such as Echinacea purpurea, Echinacea pallida, and Echinacea angustifolia.
system: What are risks of echinacea?
output: Although rarely, echinacea can cause allergic reactions. Some can be serious. If you have asthma or an allergy to certain plants and flowers -- like ragweed, chrysanthemums, marigolds, or daisies -- be cautious when using echinacea. Taking echinacea by injection is dangerous. Check with a doctor before using echinacea if you have an autoimmune disease like lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, MS, or if you have HIV.
system: What are natural food sources of echinacea?
output: There is no standard dose of echinacea.
system: What are side effects of echinacea?
output: When taken at normal doses, echinacea causes few side effects. Some people have reported symptoms like upset stomach, headache, sore throat, drowsiness, and rash.
system: How can echinacea interact with other drugs?
output: If you take any drugs regularly -- particularly drugs that suppress the immune system -- talk to your doctor before you start using echinacea supplements. There is also some concern that echinacea could cause liver problems in people who are also taking certain painkillers (like Tylenol), antidepressants, blood thinners, sedatives, and other drugs.
system: Can echinacea help with a cold?
output: Studies have had mixed results. So far, evidence suggests that echinacea may prevent the common cold. It also might help as a treatment. Some studies, many of them small, have found that taking echinacea may reduce the length of a cold and the severity of its symptoms. However, two large clinical trials found no benefits at all.
system: Is a persistent cough a sign that you may need a change in your heart failure treatment?
output: Persistent cough An ongoing wheeze or cough that brings up white or slightly blood-colored mucus can be another symptom of fluid building up in your lungs. Call the doctor if you notice it.
system: How does diabetes affect your foot health?
output: It makes them more likely to get ulcers and infections.
system: What are shoe inserts?
output: Shoe inserts can help with foot problems like flat arches and foot and leg pain. They provide extra support for different parts of your feet, like your heel, arch, or ball of the foot. You can get them over-the-counter. They're different from custom orthotics, which are prescribed by a doctor and designed for your feet.
system: What causes my feet to stink?
output: The two main culprits are sweating of the feet and your shoes. When your sweat mingles with the bacteria in your shoes and socks, it creates an odor.

output: Start with good foot hygiene: Wash your feet with antibacterial soap. Make sure to clean between your toes. Dry your feet, and sprinkle them with cornstarch, foot powder, or antifungal powder. Wear moisture-wicking socks. Change socks frequently throughout the day. Still can't control it? See a doctor. Treatment options include prescription roll-on antiperspirants, Botox injections, iontophoresis (a treatment that temporarily plugs sweat glands) and surgery.
system: How can I prevent warts?
output: Follow these tips: Wear flip-flops in public showers, locker rooms, and pool areas. Change your shoes and socks every day. Keep your feet dry (warts thrive in moisture). Don't touch other people's warts or warts on other parts of your body.
system: When should I call a doctor about foot pain?
output: Get to a doctor immediately if you: Have an open wound See signs of infection Are not able to walk Can't put weight on your foot Have diabetes and a wound that's either not getting better or is warm, red, deep, or swollen How can I prevent foot pain?
system: How do I treat corns?
output: Mild corns and calluses don't usually need treatment and will go away on their own. But there are some things you can do to help them go away more quickly: Wear thick socks to protect your skin. Rub your callus with a pumice stone while you're in the bath or shower. Use corn pads to relieve pressure. Apply salicylic acid to help dissolve corns and calluses. Be sure to follow directions carefully so you don't damage healthy skin. Never use acid treatments on your feet if you have diabetes. Wear prescription foot orthotics.
system: What are the main causes of foot pain?
output: Several things could be causing your aches. For women, high heels may be the biggest culprit. Other causes include being overweight, wearing poorly constructed shoes, a foot injury or a bruise, or faulty biomechanics, meaning that your walking gait isn't quite normal.
system: How can I prevent foot pain?
output: Solutions depend on what's triggering your pain, but here are some general pointers to remember: Wear properly fitted shoes, replacing them if they have too much wear on the heels or soles. Wear the right shoes for any activity you're doing. Avoid wearing high heels every day, and don't wear any that are higher than 2 inches. Lose weight if you need to. Give yourself time to warm up and cool down when you exercise. Stop smoking. Use an over-the-counter shoe insert or pad that targets your particular problem.
system: How can I relieve foot pain?
output: Spend more time off your feet. Massage your feet to ease tension and aches. You can rub your feet with your hands or move them over a rolling pin. Take an over-the-counter anti-inflammatory medication for pain. Wear shoe inserts. Over-the-counter inserts may provide enough support. In some cases, your doctor may recommend prescription orthotics, which will be specially made for you. If you have swelling that hasn't improved within 2 to 5 days, pain that continues for a few weeks, or have burning pain, numbness, or tingling in your foot, call your doctor.
system: How do I treat athleteâs foot?
output: Athlete's foot can be hard to treat. See your doctor to make sure it is a fungus and not another condition. Soaking your feet in warm water with Epsom salt may provide some relief. Your doctor may suggest an over-the-counter antifungal powder, cream, or spray or prescribe some medication you apply directly to your skin. In some cases, your doctor may prescribe antifungal pills. Be sure to keep using your medication as directed, even if your symptoms have gone away. This will help prevent it from returning.
system: How can I prevent corns?
output: Because irritation is the main cause of corns and calluses, a few simple strategies can help you avoid them: Wear shoes that fit your feet properly. Avoid wearing high heels every day. Use gel pad inserts to further cut down on rubbing and pressure on your foot.
system: Why do my feet sweat so much?
output: It's likely inherited. Most people sweat when it's hot out, but people with hyperhidrosis sweat all the time. Hyperhidrosis is more common in men than women and in younger adults. Stress, medications, and hormonal changes can also trigger your body to sweat more. What problems can sweaty feet cause?
system: How can I control my foot odor?
output: Follow these tips: Wash your feet daily in warm water with mild soap. Dry them thoroughly. Dust your feet with baby powder or nonmedicated foot powder. You might also try applying an antibacterial ointment. Change your socks and shoes at least once a day. Wear shoes that let your feet breathe: leather, canvas, and mesh are good options, not nylon or plastic. Avoid wearing the same shoes 2 days in a row. Or use a solution of one part vinegar and two parts water. Move your ankles around and wiggle your toes for 5 minutes two to three times a day.
system: How do I find the best insert for my feet?
output: Here's what you need to know. For low arches or flat feet: Arch support For extra cushioning: Insoles For extra cushioning in the heel: Heel liners or heel cups To prevent shoes rubbing against heels or toes: Foot cushions If the store allows, spend a few minutes walking around with the insert in your shoe before you buy it. If you feel any discomfort, consider another insert.
system: What can I do to take better care of my feet?
output: Check them daily for cuts, sores, swelling, and infected toenails. Give them a good cleaning in warm water, but avoid soaking them because that may dry them out. Moisturize them every day with lotion, cream, or petroleum jelly. Don't put moisturizer between your toes. You want to keep the skin there dry to prevent infection. Avoid wearing tight-fitting shoes. Skip the flip-flops and flats. Rotate your shoes so you're not wearing the same pair every day. Trim your toenails straight across with a nail clipper. Then use an emery board or nail file to smooth the corners, which will prevent the nail from growing into your skin.
system: How do I treat warts?
output: Never use acid treatments on your feet if you have diabetes. Don't try to treat warts yourself. Your doctor may remove the wart with a laser or by minor surgery, or use liquid nitrogen or a prescription topical. Although there are many over-the-counter wart treatments, you should only use them if your doctor advises it. Your doctor may suggest an over-the-counter antifungal powder, cream, or spray or prescribe some medication you apply directly to your skin.
system: What is laser skin resurfacing?
output: Laser skin resurfacing removes skin layer by layer with precision. The new skin cells that form during healing give the skin a tighter, younger looking surface. The procedure can be done alone or with other cosmetic surgeries on the face. The doctor may treat wrinkles around your eyes, mouth, or forehead individually or treat your entire face.
system: How can nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs)  cause your psoriasis to be worse?
output: These are nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. They're painkillers that ease joint pain and swelling from psoriatic arthritis. But they also can trigger psoriasis flare-ups. Naproxen ( Aleve) and indomethacin ( Tivorbex) are NSAIDs that have been linked to the skin condition. Others also might cause problems. If you have trouble with NSAIDs, ask your doctor if you can try a different kind of pain reliever, such as acetaminophen ( Tylenol).
