Q: The sooner your doctor diagnoses shingles, the better. (Sorry, self-diagnosis is not recommended.) Patients who start a course of drug treatment within three days of symptoms see better results than patients who wait longer than three days to start treatment. Most treatments for shingles are not very elaborate. They involve treating the symptoms of the rash while managing the patient's pain. Your doctor may ask you to try the following: An antiviral medicine, like acyclovir (Zovirax), valacyclovir (Valtrex), famciclovir (Famvir), in order to dull the pain of the rash and make it last shorter Over-the-counter NSAIDS such as ibuprofen, aspirin, or acetaminophen to manage pain Certain topical antibiotics to prevent infection and spread of any rash or blisters Your doctor may diagnose postherpetic neuralgia (PHN). In order to treat this chronic condition that 15 out of every 100 shingles patients experiences, you doctor may give you: Antidepressants (PHN is often associated with depression, as certain daily activities become painful and/or difficult to do). Topical anesthetics, including benzocaine (available OTC) and lidocaine patches (available by prescription only). Anticonvulsants, as some studies show that these drugs may help with chronic nerve pain. Opoids, such as codeine, to help reduce chronic pain. Although you should never let shingles go untreated, there are a number of things you can do at home to combine with doctor's orders. These include: Don't cover or itch the rash or blisters too much. Let the rash and blisters breathe, even as they scab over. If the pain keeps you from sleeping, it's acceptable to wrap the rash in a sports bandage. Icing the shingles for 10 minutes, with 5-minute breaks in between, for several hours. Afterward, dissolve some aluminum acetate (Domeboro) in water and apply using a moist compress to the rash. Have your pharmacist mix a salve. Ask your pharmacist to mix together 78% calamine lotion with 20% rubbing alcohol, 1% phenol, and 1% menthol. Apply this salve to your blisters until they scab over. Shingles comes with long-term complications in some cases. You should look out for the following scenarios if you are dealing with shingles or PHN: A spreading out of the rash over large parts of your body. This condition is called disseminated zoster, and it may affect internal organs as well as joints. Treatment of disseminated zoster usually involves both antibiotic and antiviral medicines. A spreading of the rash to the face. This condition is called herpes zoster ophthalmicus, and it potentially threatens the eyesight if left untreated. See your doctor or ophthalmologist quickly if you notice shingles spreading to your face.
A: See your doctor early. Talk with your doctor about treating the rash while managing pain. If you experience chronic pain after your shingles rash has passed, allow your doctor to make another diagnosis. Prepare a couple home treatments to make managing shingles easier. Watch for a potential worsening of your condition.

Article: Talk about the pieces like they are soldiers in a war and describe the game as a battle. You can also create an entire storyline around the battle to increase excitement. If your child is into technology, there are computer games, video games, and apps that can be used to supplement their learning. These games are also helpful for teaching strategy and can present different scenarios. Give your child praise when they accomplish something. It does not matter if it is big or small. Checking a king and setting up the board correctly are both accomplishments. Also, encourage your child if they are not doing well. You may say, "It's ok that you did not win. You still made some really nice moves with your knights during the game." Play and teach them the rules while playing. Correct them if they make illegal moves. Let them make a few moves to encourage them. Make deliberate blunders and give them an opportunity to win a few games.

Q: Sometimes your dog will just wake you up because they're bored or they want to play. In this case, you should command your dog to lay down and go back to sleep. Use a command like "lay down." This should get your dog to stop pawing you and licking your face. Say your chosen command in a stern voice. Use the command only once. You may want to point to the ground as you say the command. Training your dog by commands might take several weeks. Don't lose patience your dog will eventually learn. If you reward your dog with attention for waking you up, you will train them to repeat the behavior. Ignore your dog's efforts except for that single "lay down" command even prolonged scolding can be a "reward." When it is time to get up, spend a little time on your own activities instead of walking directly to the food bowl. Remember, though, your dog might genuinely have to go to the bathroom. Don't make them suffer because you want another twenty minutes of sleep. Depending on your dog's general health, you may have to adjust your lifestyle, habits, and schedule to your dog's needs. By adjusting to your dog's needs, you'll reduce the chance that they'll wake you up. Consult your vet if your dog's medication or feeding schedule makes it difficult for you to sleep.
A:
Command your dog to sleep. Avoid giving in to your dog. Adjust your schedule for medical conditions.
