Article: This is the most common treatment for cellulitis. Treatment depends on the severity of the infection and your health, but it usually includes a prescription for oral antibiotics that will kill the infection. Cellulitis should begin to retreat within a few days, and disappear altogether within seven to ten days. Your doctor may advise you to take 500mg of cephalexin by mouth every six hours. If MRSA is suspected, then your doctor may prescribe Bactrim, Clindamycin, Doxycycline, or Minocycline. Bactrim is most often prescribed for MRSA. Your physician will ask you to follow up within two to three days to report on the progress of the cellulitis. If it seems to be retreating, you'll need to take the full course of antibiotics (usually for 14 days) to ensure the infection is completely gone. Do not stop taking the antibiotics or skip doses because this can make it harder to treat the infection. Your physician will prescribe oral antibiotics if you are healthy and your infection is limited to the skin, but if the infection seems to be deeper and you're experiencing other symptoms, oral antibiotics won't be fast-acting enough. Cellulitis occurs most often when an open wound isn't properly dressed, leaving the skin open to bacterial infection. The best way to prevent this from happening is to take immediate measures to clean your wounds the second you get a scrape, cut or burn. Wash the wound with soap and water. Continue washing it daily until it heals. If the wound is large or deep, bandage it with sterile gauze. Change the bandage daily until the wound has healed. Check the wound every day when you remove the bandage to make sure it's healing properly. If it begins to swell, turn red or become itchy, you may need to seek medical treatment. If the wound seems to be draining, that's another sign that it might be infected, so make an appointment with your physician right away. Since cellulitis commonly affects people with skin disorders, taking good care of your skin is an important preventative measure. If your skin is sensitive or dry, or you have diabetes, eczema or another disorder that affects the skin, use the following techniques to keep your skin intact and prevent cellulitis from taking hold. Moisturize your skin to keep it from flaking, and drink plenty of fluids to hydrate your body. Protect your feet by wearing socks and sturdy shoes. Trim your toenails carefully so as not to accidentally cut your skin. Treat athlete's foot promptly, so it doesn't turn into a more severe infection. Treat lymphedema to prevent your skin from cracking. Avoid activities that lead to cuts and nicks on your legs and feet (hiking through brushy areas, gardening, and so on).

Article: In some patients, overbites can lead to the erosion of individual teeth through unwanted grinding and strain. If this happens, the dentist may need to install caps, crowns, or other forms of dental hardware. This can happen before or after the primary realignment process. If you grind your teeth while sleeping, ask your dentist about nighttime mouth guards. In many cases, overbites are caused by overcrowding, a condition where your teeth are too close together. To move forward with braces or other alignment treatments, your orthodontist may need to have some of these teeth extracted, opening up room for everything to move around. In most cases, extraction will be handled by a dentist, not your orthodontist. In extreme cases, full oral surgery may be required to fix an overbite. During this process, the cheeks are pulled back and a surgeon makes incisions inside the jaw. This allows them to physically move the jaw, changing your chin shape and aligning your teeth. This is typically only done after less invasive methods, like braces, have failed to work. Expect the surgery to cost between $20,000 and $40,000 and leave you hospitalized for about 2 days. Because the surgery is typically performed inside the mouth, most patients leave with no visible scars.

Article: Choose a tall vase and place it next to your TV. Add some long branches (bare, leafy, or flowering) into the vase to make it taller than your TV. Choose something that is shorter than your TV, such as a lamp, and place it on the other side of your TV. Other great options include statues, busts, figurines, and picture frames. If you like symmetry, place identical items to either side of the TV instead. Potted plants or topiaries make great choices. Place matching lamps or vases to either side of your TV, and something long and skinny, such as a wooden planter, beneath it. Make sure that none of the items obstruct the screen. If you put plants into the planter, keep them subtle, otherwise they will distract from the TV. Succulents or silk hydrangea blooms work great. Other great items to place below the screen include candle votives or pieces of driftwood. Drape evergreen branches or garlands along the top of the stand, just in front of the TV. Decorate the garland with ornaments and LED pillar candles. If you want to decorate for other holidays, try some of the following ideas: Switch out the pine garland for one made from silk fall leaves. Decorate the garland with pinecones and acorns. Make paper garlands featuring images from whatever holiday you are celebrating, such as hearts, shamrocks, or bats. Drape a white tinsel garland over the TV stand, then decorate it with plastic Easter eggs. Push the electronics towards the back of the shelf to make some room. Fill the space in front of the electronics with books or decorative boxes. You can also install doors onto cabinet, then close them when you are not using the electronics. Examples of electronics include gaming counsels, DVD players, music players, etc. If you don't use these items more than once or twice a week, then consider hiding them. Choose something that is about the length of your TV, and tall enough to fit under the frame. Place this item in front of the TV to hide the stand. Make sure that the item does not obstruct the diode at the bottom of the TV frame, or you won't be able to use the remote. This option only works for standing TVs. Wall-mounted TVs do not have a base on which to stand. Great options include long candle holders, drift wood, and garlands. You can even line up small items instead. Shelving units with open backs and fronts are great candidates for extra storage. Instead of stuffing them with plastic tubs or cardboard boxes, choose decorative storage baskets or boxes that match your decor, and use those instead. You can find beautiful, decorative boxes in craft stores and fabric stores. Some are even made to look like decoupaged luggage! Baskets don't have to be woven. You can use fabric ones, crochet ones, or even metal ones! If you can't find a box that matches your decor, decoupage it!
