Answer: Serious reactions to the flu vaccine are uncommon. However, you may still have an adverse reaction to the injection or nasal spray vaccine (The nasal flu vaccine is not currently recommended). Recognizing the common side effects of the flu vaccine can help you figure out the best way to treat them. Adverse reactions include: Soreness, swelling, or redness at the injection site. Headache. Low grade fever (below 101 degrees Fahrenheit/ 38 Celsius). Nausea or vomiting. Muscle aches. Cough or sore throat. Runny nose. Most side effects from the flu vaccine go away in two days. The most common adverse reactions happen at the injection site. These usually include redness, soreness, or slight swelling. Taking a pain reliever such as ibuprofen can ease any discomfort and decrease swelling. Take an NSAID (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug) such as aspirin, ibuprofen or naproxen sodium. These can relieve pain and reduce swelling or inflammation. Follow dosing instructions as directed on the product packaging or by your doctor. You may have itching, soreness, or discomfort at the injection site. You may even experience some lightheadedness or weakness. Putting a cool compress either on the injection site or your face can relieve these adverse reactions to your flu vaccine. Place a cool washcloth or ice pack on the injection site if you have any swelling, discomfort, or redness. Use as often as necessary for 20 minutes at a time until your symptoms go away. Put a cool, damp washcloth on your face or neck if you have any dizziness, lightheadedness, or sweating. Remove the compress if your skin gets too cold or numb. The injection site may bleed a bit following your vaccination. In some cases, it may continue to bleed slightly for a couple of days after the injection. If this happens, put an adhesive compress over the site until it stops bleeding. Contact your doctor if the bleeding doesn't stop within a day or two or gets worse. Some people may get dizzy or even faint with a flu shot. In general, these adverse reactions won't last longer than a day or two. The best way to treat dizziness and prevent fainting is rest. Having a snack while you rest can boost your blood sugar and help you feel better. Sit or even lie on the floor for a few minutes if you're feeling dizzy. Loosening any clothing or sitting with your head between your knees may help the dizziness go away. Eat a small snack to boost your blood sugar and help minimize any dizziness you may feel. Aim to eat a healthy snack such as a piece of string cheese, toast with peanut butter, or apple slices. Many people experience a low-grade fever (below 101 degrees Fahrenheit or 38 degrees Celsius) following the flu vaccine. This is a common reaction and usually goes away within one to two days. If the fever bothers you, taking ibuprofen or acetaminophen can help decrease the your temperature as well as any discomfort you may have from it such as muscle aches. Follow packaging instructions or your doctor's orders for treating your fever with ibuprofen or acetaminophen. Contact your doctor right away if your fever doesn't go away after two days or increases above 101 degrees Fahrenheit or 38 degrees Celsius. Itching at the injection site is also a common adverse reaction to a flu vaccine. In most cases, this will also go away within a day or two. However, you might find the itchiness uncomfortable. You can use an antipruritic, or anti-itch, medication to relieve any itching sensations at the injection site. Apply a hydrocortisone cream every four to six hours to relieve itching. If the itching is severe, your doctor may prescribe oral prednisone or methylprednisolone. Take an antihistamine such as diphenhydramine (Benadryl) or hydroxyzine (Atarax) every four to six hours to control injection site itching.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Seal in the color of your jeans. Limit how often you give your jeans a thorough wash. Remove stains with household cleaners. Store your jeans correctly. Wear your jeans, but use your pockets sparingly.

Answer: Whether your skinny jeans were a bargain or a hefty investment, one of the goals with your jeans is to maintain its original color. With the water and soap you use for washing your jeans, denim's dye will erode over time, with soap quickening that process even more. Set the dye in the denim before you wash it for the first time. Soak your skinny jeans in a bath containing cold water, a cup of white vinegar, and a tablespoon of salt. Allow it to soak for about an hour. This step is especially crucial for darker washes and black skinny denim jeans. After the salt and vinegar soak, allow the jeans to lay flat to dry. The vinegar smell will go away once the jeans have dried. Jeans are one of those clothing items that can be worn often without the need for regular daily washing. To help jeans keep their color and shape, keeping your washes to a minimum is necessary. If you're on a regular schedule of giving your jeans a wash every 4-6 months, mist them instead of washing them. Freshen up your pair of jeans by filling a spray bottle with equal parts cold water and Vodka. Give your jeans a mist with the solution. Allow them to air dry and then place them in the freezer overnight. Odor-causing bacteria will be kept at bay and will help keep any smells away. An Vodka-free alternative is hanging your jeans up and spraying it down with some Febreze to help with odors. A quick tumble dry in the dryer with a dryer sheet is also effective. So you dropped some ketchup onto your jeans while you were eating or got an ink stain from a pen, what should you do? Washing is a possibility, but it breaks down jeans if done too often and it might not get rid of the stain. Instead of that, use some things around the house as spot treatments to help give your jeans a clean look again. If you ever happen to get some paint on your jeans, use Motsenbocker's Lift Off to help you with your stained denim woes. Hairspray is a great way to remedy ink stains that might be drawn to your skinny jeans. For grease stains, use Pine Sol to remove them. A magic eraser also does the trick with most denim stains without excessive scrubbing or potential of disrupting the dye. Storage is as important as a step as any when it comes to caring for your denim properly. Avoid using hangers as a means for storing your jeans. The way you bought them folded up on that denim display is ultimately the best way to keep them. Fold your jeans to help them keep their shape over time. Jeans tend to get better the more you wear them. They hug you better, they gain a little character over time with fading and/or tears. It should be noted though, that excessively placing cell phones, cards, wallets, and chapsticks in your pockets can change the shape of your jeans, promote tearing, and leave permanent stains in those areas. So wear them, but consider using other things to hold your belongings to help them be worn the right way.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Get rid of clutter. Dust regularly. Wash linens and bedding regularly. Get rid of carpeting. Replace dust-collecting fabrics with easy-to-clean items. Groom pets regularly. Use mattress and pillow covers. Increase the ventilation in your house.

Answer:
Clutter and unnecessary items around the house attract and trap dust, and this creates a feeding frenzy for dust mites. One of the best ways to get rid of dust mites is to eliminate their food source, and while it's not possible to completely get rid of dust, you can reduce it by throwing out, selling, or properly storing items like: Books Decorations and ornaments Picture frames Trinkets Home accessories Decorative pillows Regular dusting with a damp cloth is a great way to reduce dust in the house and eliminate food sources for dust mites. Always dust by wiping surfaces with a damp cloth to avoid spreading dust and other allergens around the house. For the best results, dust your entire house on a weekly basis. Because linens and bedding are such a hot spot for dust mites, it's important to keep these clean. Weekly washing in hot water that's between 130 and 140 F (54 to 60 C) will help to control dust mites in your bedroom. Be sure to wash: Sheets Pillowcases Duvet covers Blankets Carpets and rugs are among the worst places in your house for harboring dust mites. While regular vacuuming and washing (for small rugs) will help to reduce mite numbers, getting rid of the carpet altogether will be even more effective. When possible, remove carpeting and replace it with: Tile Hardwood Laminate Cork Concrete Because things like thick curtains and drapes can house large numbers of dust mites, you can help get rid of them by replacing these items. For instance, you can replace curtains with plastic blinds or wooden shutters, and fabric cushions and pillows with leather or pleather ones. Not only are these items easier to clean, but they also won't attract dust mites the way fabrics do. Pet dander is another huge food source for dust mites. To reduce dander in the house, take your dogs and cats outside daily for a thorough brushing. For dogs, you should also give them monthly baths to reduce dander and fur around the house. Pets can also suffer from dust mite allergies, so keeping them cleaner is beneficial for you both. Mattress and pillow covers are plastic or hypoallergenic fabric envelopes that protect your bed from dust mites, bed bugs, and allergens. The covers encase your mattress or pillows and prevent dust mites from getting in, and protect you from allergens that are already present. To keep these covers clean, wipe plastic ones with a damp cloth and wash fabric ones weekly. Better ventilation means lower humidity, more airflow, and less dust, and all of these are good for controlling dust mites. You can improve ventilation by opening windows, using ceiling and portable fans, and by making use of vents in the house, such as in the kitchen and bathroom.
