Problem: Article: This is to avoid dehydration. Constant vertigo can impair your daily life and provoke anxiety. You may become careless about food and fluid intake. Dehydration may concentrate the infected fluid in the inner ear making the condition worse. In the first few days you may feel severe dizziness and vertigo. You should take rest during this time to avoid fall and injury. After about a week you should start feeling better. You should not drive or operate sharp machinery during this time. Sudden aggravation of vertigo may cause accident or severe injury. You should not watch TV or read books for a long time. This may lead to eye fatigue which in turn interferes with balance. These can help you boost your immunity to help you fight against any viral or bacterial infections. Such vitamins are: Vitamin A: it helps by reducing inflammation in the ear and fights off viral or bacterial infection. Vitamin C: it is known to be an antioxidant which promotes healing and recovery. It also makes the immune system stronger. Vitamin B6: it is believed that it prevents or reduces dizziness. Vitamin E: it also helps the healing process to be faster and also boosts the immune system. If you experience vertigo or dizziness while walking or standing, go to bed to take rest. You should find a position that relieves your symptoms. Often you will feel better by lying on your side rather than facing up. Change positions slowly. Sudden head movement shakes the inner ear fluid that inappropriately stimulates the nerves. If you need to get up from bed, do it slowly. Similarly, lie down slowly from a sitting or standing position. If you notice symptoms while lying down, try sitting up in a chair. They will just make you more uncomfortable. Bright light and absolute darkness both aggravate feelings of imbalance. Use soft light in your room. Similarly, extreme noise will aggravate your tinnitus. The aim is to give rest to the vestibular and hearing systems. You will gradually be able to cope with the altered function of these systems if there is no external interference. Being natural stimulants they make inner ear nerves hyper-excitable. As a result you will experience more exaggerated responses from minor stimuli such as a slight movement. Alcohol and coffee also cause dehydration which is bad for inner ear health. These are a range of movements carried out under supervision of a physiotherapist. VRT retrains your brain to adapt to the abnormal signals arising for the vestibular system. Your brain learns to identify wrong signals and ignore them. It is highly effective particularly in chronic labyrinthitis. Do the gaze stability exercise. Try moving your head side to side while looking at a stationary object. Your head will move but gaze will remain fixed. Do habituation exercises. Their purpose is to provoke symptoms deliberately and train your brain to get used to the symptoms. One example is the Brandt-Daroff exercise. You will need to lie down promptly from a sitting position with the head turned to an angle of 45 degrees. Lie still for 30 seconds or until the vertigo goes off. Then sit up again. Repeat the procedure on the opposite side. Do the exercise 3 times a day. These are for relief of symptoms, not to cure the infection. Vertigo, dizziness, nausea or vomiting may be severe enough to impair quality of life. Therefore, medication may be necessary. Here are your options: Antihistamine: this will help in relieving allergic reactions thus minimizing chances of developing into labyrinthitis. You can take diphenhydramine (Benadryl) 25g and 50mg. you can take 25mg twice a day for symptomatic relief. Anti-emetic: you can take meclizine hydrochloride to prevent or decrease dizziness and vomiting. It is effective for vertigo. It is available in 25mg and 50mg. this can be taken with or without food. Do not exceed 2 tablets within 24 hours. Steroids: this medication is for inflammation. It is an anti-inflammatory that helps in decreasing inflammation to the affected areas. Prednisone is the drug of choice. It is available in 20mg. You can take it 3 times a day with 6-8hours interval. Antibiotic: this is prescribed when the cause of your labyrinthitis is bacterial infection. It should be treated right away to prevent permanent hearing loss. Your doctor will be the one to prescribe the appropriate antibiotic for your condition Antiviral: this is used to treat variety of infections caused by a virus. Acyclovir 400mg or 800mg can be the drug of choice. However, your doctor will prescribed the right dose intended for you.
Summary: Drink plenty of fluids. Rest. Take vitamins. Lie still during an attack. Avoid bright light and extreme noise. Avoid coffee, alcohol and smoking. Start vestibular rehabilitation therapy (VRT). Take medications.

Problem: Article: Parallel to the larynx and oropharynx is the esophagus (part of the digestive system) but should be included in your illustrationas a low-contrast color. At the mandibular angle, a small "flap" should be noted; this is the epiglottis, which covers the trachea when swallowing to prevent debris from entering the lungs. Drawa flat kidney bean shape following the outline of the base of the lungs. The diaphragm is a muscle that contracts during inhalation and relaxes during exhalation to modify pressure in the lungs. Segment the right lung into 3 curved sections (draw the oblique and horizontal fissures) and the left lung into 2 curved sections (draw the oblique fissure) as distributed below; these segments are called lobes. Extend the branching of the bronchus in each lung into a secondary bronchus in each lobe. Then extend this secondary branching with smaller bronchioles.It is helpful to do each lobe branch in a new color to distinguish the branching pattern. Attached to these bronchioles are alveoli, which appear as small grapes. Detail several of these and then extend a microscope box away from your diagram to illustrate this structure more clearly. Redraw a segment of the bronchioles and attached alveoli in the microscope box. The bulbous "grape" like structures of the alveoli are called alveolar sacs, and the segment of branching immediately before the alveoli are called alveolar ducts. In addition to these structures, draw an overlay of the pulmonary artery (red) and pulmonary vein (blue) leading into the arteriole and venule capillary system. {"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/e\/e3\/Capillaries_respsyst_gb2653.png\/460px-Capillaries_respsyst_gb2653.png","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/e\/e3\/Capillaries_respsyst_gb2653.png\/558px-Capillaries_respsyst_gb2653.png","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":462,"bigWidth":"558","bigHeight":"560","licensing":"<div class="mw-parser-output"><p>Image by: Uploader<br>

Summary:
Include landmark structures. Sketch the diaphragm. Detail the lobes of the lungs. Outline the branching. Draw a microscope bubble. Detail the alveoli. Label your completed diagram.
