Question 1

6mo old cutting front four teeth and just treated for double ear infections..could shaking head side to side be considered a normal reaction to either?

Accepted Answer

Reevaluate: Sensory stimulus causing your child to try to clear ears.  Have Pediatrician take a look.  Also, as teeth are erupting, time to schedule with a Pediatric Dental Specialist.

Question 2

my wife hit her head on the floor 2 weeks ago. she haschattering lips and/or teeth - mostly when in bed. it may change to leg spasms or a hand will shaking. is it serious?

Accepted Answer

See a doc ASAP: Take her to see a general physician as soon as possible.  It may or may not be related to the fall but it's not worth taking the risk.  The general practioner will be able to lead you to a specialist who can determine if the 2 events are related.

Question 3

Accepted Answer

Doubtful: But it could cause traumatic injury such as concussion, or fractures to your teeth, or damage to the jaw joint.  You might want to consider having your Dentist fabricate a mouth guard to protect you from injury.

See a Dr.: You may need to see a Dr. first, whom might refer you to a neurologist.  Unsure if this is related to a TMJ/TMD issue, but first need to rule out other underlying nerve problems

Accepted Answer

: The AgAb (4th generation) HIV tests are 100% reliable 6 weeks after the last possible exposure, regardless of what symptoms are present. There are NO drugs, medications, illnesses, medical conditions, etc that have any effect on the reliability of the test. That includes alcohol and antibiotics like azithromycin. Your test proves you do not have HIV and can stop worrying about it.

Question 7

recently, i am having headche in front of my forehead and above my head and its associated with teeth pain. i don't sleep well from my new infant. help?

Accepted Answer

Rule out teeth: Your pain symptoms are diverse, confused, and not specific.  All you can do is rule-out the teeth as a source of your pain by going to the dentist and getting and examination with x-rays.  Then you must fix whatever is wrong in the hope of stopping your pain. If the dentist says nothing is  wrong then you must go to the physician, because your pain could be serious.  I would not wait long.

Question 8

nov. my baby drank from another babies sippy cup. last week that vaby was diagnosed with imune deficiancy disorder. sickness unknown. if that baby is hiv pos. could mine get affected? both babies were teething, and that onemight have a soar in mouth

Accepted Answer

Probably okay: It is probably fine, but the sore should be checked by a Pediatrician. Very often viral illness may be associated or it may be an isolated finding. The baby if otherwise well, has defenses against illness.

Question 9

9 m old shaking head side to side, stops for a bit and does it again & again.  also, randomly shivers (like a chill) for a sec or 2.  call doc?

Accepted Answer

Video: Take a video and see his/her doctor. Between the video and an exam your doctor will know how to diagnose and manage the problem. If the baby is unconscious during these episodes this may be a type of seizure. Is your baby developing normally?

Question 10

if i burp my 2 week old baby with him positioned on his side in the bed or on my chest on his side, can the patting cause shaking baby syndrome? his head moves back and forth even though it is supported on the side?

Accepted Answer

Not this way: The SBS refers to a few physical findings that suggest that a baby was violently shaken.This happens when they are grabbed by the chest or arms with head tossed back &amp; forth. These reflect violent pressure that has causes tiny blood vessels to burst.Brain hemorrhage from the same process is common &amp; sometimes bone chips are sheared off the upper arms at the same time. Burping won't do that.
