Q: If you notice symptoms of cellulitis, even if the rash hasn't spread very far, it's important to see a doctor right away. That's because if it's allowed to progress, cellulitis can lead to serious complications. Cellulitis may also be an indication that a deeper, more dangerous infection is spreading. When you visit the doctor, explain your symptoms and any signs of cellulitis that you've noticed. In addition to conducting a physical examination, your physician may perform additional tests such as a complete blood count (CBC) or blood culture.
A: Confirm the diagnoses of cellulitis.

Q: Fungal infections of the skin can produce rashes, irritation, or discoloration. Fungal infections of the nails often make nails look yellow and brittle. Other types of fungal infections can seem like more common illnesses, such as bronchitis or the flu. Seek medical attention for any persistent symptoms, especially if you have a weakened immune system. In most cases, your healthcare provider will prescribe antifungal medication that you can take at home, like fluconazole. Fill this prescription at a drugstore or pharmacy of your choosing. If you have a severe fungal infection, like meningitis, you may be admitted to the hospital, where you will be given antifungal medication intravenously. This happens only in rare cases. Your doctor will most likely give you instructions when they prescribe medication to you. Only use prescription antifungal medication as your doctor directs you to. If you have forgotten your doctor's instructions, call their office and ask how you should take the medicine. If your doctor does not give you specific instructions, follow the instructions that come with the medication. Your pharmacist should also be able to tell you how to take your specific medication. Usually your doctor will direct you to take one pill a day. Take the pill either with or without food. Take the pill at the same time each day if possible. Choose a time that is most convenient for you. Try setting an alarm or a phone notification for yourself to help you remember to take your pill at the right time. Try never to miss a dose. If you do miss a dose one day, don't take 2 doses the next day, unless your doctor tells you otherwise. Severe side effects of antifungal medication can include nausea, vomiting, unusual bruising or bleeding, and loss of energy. If you experience any of these, stop taking the pill and call your doctor's office. Your doctor may adjust your dosage or prescribe a different antifungal drug. In many cases, you will need to take antifungal drugs for several weeks or months. Your doctor may ask you to come back to their office so they can check in to see how the treatment is progressing. You may also be asked to take a blood test so your doctor can ensure that the drugs are not harming your liver. Always follow your doctor's instructions about scheduling follow-up appointments. Your doctor will monitor the infection during follow-up appointments and let you know when you no longer have to take the antifungal medication.
A: See your doctor if you think you might have a fungal infection. Pick up your prescription from your local pharmacy. Follow your doctor's orders carefully. Take one pill each day in most cases. Avoid taking a double dose even if you missed one. Contact your doctor if you have severe side effects. Schedule follow-up appointments with your doctor as required. Stop taking the medication when your doctor says all symptoms are gone.

Q: out of vegetables, coffee grounds, and other food waste. Collecting food waste from your kitchen is the easiest way to enrich your soil with lots of nitrogen. It will take several months for your compost to "ripen" enough for use. Start the composting process in early summer so it will be ready by the following spring planting season. Some other ingredients to use include tea bags, old condiments, rotting bread, corn cobs, leftover nut shells, fruit rinds, and much more. In the case of shells (from shellfish, nuts, or eggs) and fruit pits, it's best to smash them up with a hammer or another heavy tool before putting them in compost. Avoid adding bones, cheese, meat, oils, or animal waste to your compost. The garden waste you create while manicuring your yard can still be put to good use! Before you sprinkle garden waste into your batch of compost, shred it up into small pieces by hand. Mix the garden waste into the rest of the compost to distribute it evenly. Spread the grass clippings across a towel for a few hours to let them dry before dumping them into your compost. Otherwise, the grass may rot in a wet mass and leave behind an unpleasant odor. Alfalfa meal is very strong; it heats up as it decays, and acts quickly. Because of this, you don't want to add it deep into the soil or it could overload it. Alfalfa meal will provide the soil with plenty of nitrogen, as well as potassium and phosphorus. Legume plants are naturally much higher in nitrogen than other types of garden vegetables. As your legume plants grow, they will contribute extra nitrogen to the soil, making the soil richer and giving your other plants the nutrients they need.
A: Create compost Add leftover grass clippings and garden trimmings to your compost. Spread alfalfa meal on top of your soil. Plant legume seeds, like peas, alfalfa, and beans.

Q: They will help soothe you during the procedure by maintaining physical contact (holding your hand or touching foot). Be sure to bring someone who does not have a medical condition (pregnancy or metal implants in their body such as a pacemaker or aneurysm clip) that would prevent them from being in the imaging room. If friends or family members are unavailable, the hospital or imaging facility may supply a staff member to stay in the scan room with you. Communicate with the your friend/family member and the support staff during the procedure. This will help you feel more at ease and distract you during the procedure. There are speakers in the machine, as well as a call button or squeeze ball you can press or squeeze to communicate with the staff. With your health provider, discuss the possibility of taking a mild sedative before the procedure. Patients often find these types of medications relaxing and helpful in limiting anxiety. A prescription for the sedative will be required before the date of the appointment. Be sure to talk with your pharmacist about the medication and its side effects before the appointment. Because sedatives can make you tired or groggy, be sure to get a friend or family member to drive you to your appointment. Some imaging centers offer free transportation so be sure to make arrangements with the facility before your visit. Complete any important paperwork ahead of time due to the limiting effects of sedatives. Consulting with a mental health professional may help alleviate your fears by addressing the underlying feelings and emotions. Your mental health provider may recommend practices or techniques designed to target the root causes of your anxiety.
A:
Bring a friend or family member for support. Take a sedative. Contact a mental health professional.
