usually it will be better in 5 to 7 days.antiseptic or analgesic mouth wash can help.you may require oral antibiotic if there is bacterial infection

i think you need to consult a doctor.check your bp,visual acuity.there may be a chance of sinusitis.if it is unilateral it may be a migraine.if you have so much worry also it may cause headache .

So this weekend I went swimming at a indoor pool with a friend and when I got home the next night my eye started to hurt at the bottom whenever I blinked. This morning I woke up and it was red and swollen underneath... Any ideas what it is? How did this happen? How do I fix it? HELP! (link)

you didn't mention about your pain ,visual acuity,discharge.consult an opthalmologist if there is pain .hygiene is important,eye should be kept clean.if there is no improvement over few days you may need topical antibiotics.if it is allergic you may require antihistamine tablets and sodium cromoglycate eye drops.

That is right... I got myself a massive dose of poison ivy for the first time in my life and for all the things I have learned in my couple decades on this Earth I find I have no idea how to treat poison ivy! I had always heard calamine lotion, but there HAS to be a better way!
So, can anyone help me out with this or do I just have to suffer through it?
My itchiest thanks to you all! (link)

assess irritants or trigger factors with a view of avoidance.emollients like oilatum,aqueous cream moisten dry scaly skin.topical steroid may help in reducing inflammation.secondary infection should be treated with topical antibiotic.an antihistamine like alimemazine 5 mg tds may help in reducing itching.if needed do one patch testing.

Okay, so I've had quite a few cold sores and lip infections.
Today I woke up with a cold sore, and I made sure to start drinking a lot of water, eating super healthy to aid those white blood cells in fighting them off, and popping in l-lysine tablets.
Anyway, so I looked in the mirror and it's pulsating. Not only can I feel it pulsing, but in the mirror it actually looks to be flashing white and red constantly.
I checked this morning and it's continually happening. It's SERIOUSLY like a siren.
Anyway, I just wanted to know if that means the virus is continually growing/spreading or if it's starting to dye down because of the white blood cells. (link)

usually the cold sores heal within 2 weeks.use analgesics either orally or topically.acyclovir cream 2 g apply 5 times a day for 5 days. if lesion is severe take valacyclovir tablet 500mg bd.these antiviral speedup the healing .apply antiseptic to prevent secondary infection.wash frequently with soap and water.apply cold or warmth .

Hello Advicenators! It's been an extremely long time since I've been on this website, I'm so glad it's still running. You guys are awesome.
I came here because I was unsure who to talk to about this. Before I moved away to college, I babysat for this little girl, we'll call her Lauren, for a year. I would drive her to her dance classes and take her home, cook her dinner, and just hang around with her. Right before I was suppose to leave for college, something happened with her family. Her parents got a divorce, and then a couple weeks later, her father went to jail. The mother told me not to mention it to Lauren so it wouldn't upset her. The father got out on bail. And then, I went off to college.
I've been back on summer break (I'm 19 years old) and today was my first time babysitting for Lauren again. When I picked her up from school, I felt like I was going to break her in half when I hugged her. She looks extremely skinny. I could see her knee bones through her legs, and her arms were so tiny. I immediately became worried. This girl is 10 years old. Her parents are in the middle of a custody battle according to her mother, and Lauren told me that her cat just ran away a couple weeks ago. Lauren now lives with her mother and her two older brothers. She also is an avid dancer. She has been dancing since she was 4 years old and takes dance classes every day.
I'm nervous for Lauren because there are a lot of things in her life that could influence an eating disorder, such as how intense of a dancer she is, her pet running away, and what her parents are going through. I feel like I'm in a position that could help her because a) I have known her for such a long time and b) am also a dancer. I really want to help her but I am unsure of what to do.
Thank you for reading this long story. I would love some help from you advicenators!

Does accutane have bad effects on you if you have hydrocephalus and a shunt in your head?
I have a shunt in the back of my head. It hasn't been checked for like 12 years, I had surgery when I was in the first grade. The doctors said I'm a normal person and I don't have any problems even though I still have a shunt in my head they said they weren't going to check on it unless I became sick. I went to the dermatologist today and my dermatologist said that he was going to give me accutane, but I read that it has a lot of side effects, similar to hydrocephalus and swelling of the brain, etc. I have to wait a month to get the accutane. Could that happen to me if I get accutane? (link)

accutane is basically a isotretenoin .it is a form of vitamin A.IT is used to treat nodular acne when primary treatment with adapelene , benzoyl peroxide and antibiotics fail .but the frequency of occurence of benign intracranial hypertension is very rare about < 1/10000 .my advice is to consult the doctor and inform about your condition and kindly change the drug
