Could you explain what is respiratory distress syndrome? In brief: RDS

Rds or respiratory distress syndrome is a term usually used to describe a condition in the newborn that is used when the newborn is having some degree of respiratory or breathing problems.

There are a number of causes...Like a very quick delivery...Inhaled amniotic fluid...This usually abates with time and supportive care. I am not sure if you are referring to an adult, but this is for a newborn. ...See more

What does an infected bee sting look like? In brief: Can be difficult to

Tell the difference.

The tell tale signs of infection may be seen from the sting and venom injection itself and may not actually bee :) an infection. Redness, pain, increased warmth and swelling are the tell tale signs of an infection. You may see fever as well. Benadryl (diphenhydramine) usually offers some relief to a bee sting...I recommend you see your doctor asap if you have a concern. ...See more
